Chapter 1162: Hesitant Li Yi
Li Yi's assessment of the monarchs and ministers of Eastern Wu was based on a comprehensive analysis based on the deeds he knew in his previous life, as well as what he had seen and heard. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he thinks that since Sun Jian and Sun Ce's father and son, Dongwu Junchen is not good at attacking head-on, but is very good at playing defensive counterattacks, and is even better at taking advantage of the situation.
The monarchs and ministers of Eastern Wu included Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lu Su and others, and the most famous battles fought were in a weak position, defending first and then attacking, and turning defeat into victory. These include the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Yiling.
And the several battles that dominated and attacked head-on were mainly the five battles of Hefei, in which Soochow lost.
In terms of Li Yi's own experience, the current situation of Soochow seems to be precarious, but he always feels that the other party still has spare strength. This is because Eastern Wu is blocked by the Yangtze River moat, and secondly, there are Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, the two top strategists in the Three Kingdoms era, as well as Zhou Tai, Ling Cao, Chen Wu, Lu Meng and other general outstanding generals.
Therefore, don't look at the strength of Dongwu at the beginning, it seems that it is not as good as Shu Han on the surface, but when it really starts, Dongwu is definitely more difficult to fight than Shu Han.
Therefore, when Li Yi launched the battle of reunification, he made the decision to attack Shu first without much hesitation. His purpose was to lure out the main force of Soochow. Because now that only Xichuan and Dongwu are left in the world, there is no reunification, the so-called lips and teeth are cold, Dongwu will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Tang Dynasty destroy Shu Han, and will definitely find an opportunity to send troops.
For this reason, Li Yi is willing to pay a considerable price, even if it is to catch a few counties.
Li Yi paused for a moment and continued: "Dongwu can adopt at least a dozen strategies, including attacking the second county of Yangzhou and Jiangbei, raiding Jingzhou to cut off our army's supply lines, and sneaking up on the Beijing division from the sea. There was no way to judge for a while, so I could only end the Yizhou war and return as soon as possible. ”
Xu Maogong was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Sneak attack on Jingshi?" How is this possible? ”
He couldn't help but be surprised, the position of the Jingshi was too far away from the front line, and no matter how lax the defense was, there was no danger. What's more, Jicheng has a large population, and if there is a war, it is easy to mobilize a large number of militias, even if Dongwu can divide an army of 10,000 people to attack, it can't be taken in a hurry, how can this kind of place be dangerous?
Li Yi sneered: "After all, Sun Wentai is the father of Sun Quan's kid, and he has been in charge of the defense of the Jingshi together with Yuan Zhi for the past two years. With Sun Quan's thick and black temperament, it is difficult to say whether he will fight this idea. ”
Sun Jian escorted Sun Ce to Northern Xinjiang for treatment, but was ordered to be detained in disguise by Li Yi. Later, Sun Quan and Li Yi teamed up to deal with Cao Cao and others, and married Sun Shangxiang to Li Yi, and the two sides married, so that Sun Jian became Li Yi's father-in-law, and Sun Ce became his eldest brother, and Li Yi relaxed his surveillance of the two.
Because Sun Shangxiang married Li Yi and was canonized as Concubine Xiang after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and Sun Quan had no intention of taking the two back to Dongwu in Soochow, Sun Jian's father and son also knew that they had no possibility of returning to Soochow. First, Li Yi will not let them go back, and second, their identities will definitely be very embarrassing after they go back. Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Sun Jian naturally knows the temperament and character of his son, and if they go back, the result will definitely not be good.
Under such circumstances, Sun Jian and Sun Ce also expressed their allegiance to Li Yi.
Although these two swore allegiance to him, but because of the relationship between Eastern Wu, Li Yi did not let the two go out to lead the troops, although the abilities of both are very outstanding, and they can definitely lead the troops alone, but Li Yi cannot absolutely trust them.
In the end, Li Yi appointed Sun Jian as the leading general, equivalent to the general of the Four Expeditions, and assisted Xu Shu, the secretary of the military department, to be in charge of the defense of Jicheng in Beijing. And Sun Ce, the eldest brother, was sent by Li Yi to the Datang Military Academy for further study, and was temporarily shelved.
After the start of the Southern Expedition to Shu, there were too many aspects involved, and Li Yi forgot about this matter.
It is possible that Sun Quan hit Sun Jian's idea and sneak attack Jingshi, but Jia Xu, who was far away in Chengdu, first made a prompt, Zhuge Liang explained, and Li Yi came back to his senses.
Thinking about it, there is no good thing in the Eastern Wu monarchs, and in another time and space, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu teamed up to trick Liu Bei to Jiangdong in the name of marriage and put him under house arrest. If Zhuge Liang's skills weren't high, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had the three-legged stand.
Although the sneak attack on Jicheng seems whimsical, with the temperament of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, maybe they will really try it. This credit is indeed too great, once it is successful, it will be a great benefit!
"I see." Xu Maogong lowered his head, was silent for a moment, raised his head suddenly, his eyes were blazing, and said loudly, "In this case, the emperor doesn't have to rush to move troops." If you are not talented, you are willing to ask the emperor for your life and ask for three days to pacify the remnants of the Southern Barbarians! If you can't succeed, Gan leads the army! ”
………………
Before the war, it had not rained in Nanban, and there was no sunshine, and the dark clouds covered the sun, and the gloomy scene was like the heavens were intimidated by the rich murderous aura on the earth, and they dared to show their faces only after the battle was over.
Now that the battle is over, the weather has returned to normal, as if to make up for it, and it has rained several times in succession.
In the early morning of this day, it was the first sunny day after the rain, and the blue water rose up with strips of clouds and mist, which was illuminated by the morning sun, ethereal and misty, as if the legendary fairyland, beautiful.
The continuous distant mountains are also full of lush and vibrant scenes.
Immersed in such a beautiful scenery, it is almost impossible to completely forget the bloody battle three days ago, and also forget that you are in the harshest troubled times, and you have to struggle for survival at all times.
Li Yi stood on the bank of the river, overlooking the magnificent mountains and waters, his face was ancient and waveless, like an old monk in his meditation, but his mood was ups and downs, and it was difficult to calm down.
He knew it was due to the tension of the coming big war. I was looking forward to the opponent's later move and making more preparations, but because I couldn't bear the torment of waiting, I looked forward to the opponent making an early move, so that I could decide the winner as soon as possible.
Li Yi's heart was full of thoughts, on the one hand, he was thinking about what calculations Soochow was making, and he was also thinking about how high the probability of ending the Nanban War would be as soon as possible. Of course, he is more concerned about whether the remaining generals can deal with it calmly.
As his heart surged, his breath began to fluctuate.
Li Yi took a deep breath and told himself to be calm.
From the moment when he traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and decided to dominate the world and change history, he should have known that this road was full of thorns. After all, the opponent is not trivial, no matter how well prepared he is, it is difficult to ensure that he will not be found by the other party.
Since the opponent is Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun, they naturally can't take it lightly.
The truth is right, but the heart is like the sea, how can it be said that it is peaceful?
The stronger the self-suppression, the more powerful the rebound.
Under the ups and downs of his heart, Li Yi simply took the overlord gun in his hand and began to practice martial arts.
In the past few years, he has been in the battle array less often than before, but his martial arts have become more and more sophisticated. Even if he doesn't end up, the ones he often observes are the top matchups.
For Li Yi, what he lacks is not an ordinary martial arts routine, but to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to form his own unique style. His fighting skills were originally flexible, fast, and changeable, and at this moment, he recalled in his mind the demeanor of the world's top masters, walking with his heart, using one move at a time, and his inner strength wandered between the meridians, and his mood gradually stabilized.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, Li Yi felt something in his heart, and let out a loud shout, the overlord spear stabbed out like a swimming dragon and slashed across a big tree by the river.
The big tree didn't move at all, it didn't look abnormal, and Li Yi didn't speak, just stared at the big tree.
A moment later, a gust of river wind blew, and the big tree suddenly shook, and the branches and leaves rubbed together and made a rattling sound, and the whole trunk was split in two, and it overturned like that, and it was actually cut into two ends by Li Yi's shot.
Li Yi put away his gun and stood up, looking up to the sky and roaring: "The sea is a hundred rivers, tolerance is great, the wall is a thousand thousands, and if there is no desire, it is strong!" ”
"What a desireless and just right!" Before the whistle stopped, there was a cheer behind him, "Chen has been thinking about how to phrase my new Tang Dynasty policy in one sentence in recent years, but he is puzzled. Today, I can hear the emperor's new words, but I have a feeling of being sudden. If there is no desire, it is rigid, so it can stand thousands of miles without falling, wonderful, really wonderful! ”
Li Yi was not surprised, and asked without looking back: "Kong Ming, when did you learn to speak so well?" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The emperor is clear, the minister's words come from the bottom of his heart, and he can learn from every day." ”
"Okay, don't gag, this kind of thing isn't for you." Li Yi waved his hand and asked, "If you have nothing to do, you are coming to me now, obviously it is not Mao Gong's business, could it be that there is news from the Central Plains?" ”
Li Yi is like a mirror in his heart, Zhuge Liang's personality is not old-fashioned, but he has a tendency to be a workaholic in his bones, if there is nothing important, he will definitely not come to see him practice martial arts early in the morning.
Combined with Zhuge Liang's coming, there is also the suspicion of deliberately diverting the topic, obviously the news brought is not the kind that can make people feel refreshed.
"The emperor is wise." Zhuge Liang walked up a few steps, stood beside Li Yi, and said in a low voice, "It's the flying pigeon sent by Wenhe!" ”
He paused for a moment to give Li Yi time to digest and think, and then continued: "Just ten days ago, our army's fine work in the Jiangdong Army saw Zhou Yu quietly leading an elite army to leave Jiankang ......"
"In other words, he has already arrived in Jiankang? But it didn't appear on the Yangtze River and Jingzhou fronts? Li Yi pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically.
"Quite possibly." Zhuge Liang nodded, his expression solemn.
"It's really Wenhe's expected." Li Yi sneered.
Zhuge Liang reminded in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Jingshi side ...... Make a decision now! ”
