Chapter 550: Ruthless, or Liu Bei!
In the fifth year of the Warring States Period, the north and the south were in flames, fighting to the death, Guandu and Chibi, involving eighty percent of the forces of the princes of the world, and under the shroud of blood, the southern overlord was the first to be baked.
In the first battle of Chibi, Wu defeated Chu, eliminated nearly 40,000 Chu soldiers, captured more than 30,000 soldiers, and less than 80,000 Chu troops were able to escape from the Chibi realm.
Although this battle is not over yet, everyone in the world knows that Wu has won, won Jingzhou, won the entire south, and at this time, the decisive battle in the north is about to start.
In February, the dragon raises its head, winter goes to spring, and everything returns to spring.
Official Ferry.
The sound of the Yellow River rushing is endless, the waves crash on the shore, and under the fluttering of battle flags in the wind, the Wei army camp can hear the neat footsteps of the soldiers in the silence.
The fighting in Yanjin had just stopped, and both the Wei and Jin armies had suffered a lot of casualties, and now the soldiers were licking their wounds, and the camp tent was a little quiet.
Night falls.
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
Under the light of the oil lamp, Cao Cao wore a brocade robe, sat cross-legged, held a book of war, and savored the battlefield cases in the book.
Thirty-six strategies, the military book written by Wu Guo, the mystery and profound meaning in it, even he, a veteran of the battlefield, opened his eyes.
"King!"
Half an hour later, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia opened the curtain of the tent, marched together, and bowed to Cao Cao.
"Zhicai, Fengxiao, you are here!" Cao Cao raised his head, smiled slightly, and then raised the military book in his hand, and said with some convulsions: "Although I don't want to admit it, this military book written by Wu Guo is really good, you two have the best to take a good look at it, study it carefully, every strategy is very mysterious!" ”
"Thirty-six plans?"
The two heard this. His eyes lit up slightly, and Xi Zhi called out.
Sun Zhongmou, the Marquis of Wu Guodong, gathered dozens of generals of Wu State and jointly edited a military book, which spread all over the world.
The military book "Thirty-six Strategies" is not only popular in the army of Wu State, but also read by the whole world, after all, as a textbook of Wu State's martial arts hall, it cannot be hidden at all. It's so easy to get.
Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are both good at military strategy, and they are good at reading the art of war, so they naturally have a collection of the art of war in the world.
They've read it several times.
To be honest, the two of them also admired Sun Zhongmou very much, and the person who could write a military book such as "Thirty-six Strategies" definitely had inhuman attainments in military strategy.
"Zhicai. Thou sayestest, Is there really a man in this world who is born to know? ”
Cao Cao lightly put down the military book in his hand, raised his head, sighed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a complex and deep light crossed it, and said: "Sun Zhongmou, this person, Gu is becoming more and more incomprehensible now. Sometimes I think about it, when I was in the East China Sea. Lone shouldn't have let him go, killed with a knife, Lone might not have so many concerns. ”
For Wu Guosun Zhongmou's investigation over the years, the ghost pawn can be the top priority, just he is a copywriter, and he can build a hill with copywriting on his Cao Cao desk.
Sun Zhongmou. A whimsical teenager.
In the state of Wu, he is not the most prominent prince, Sun Bofu is brave and good at fighting, and he has been in command several times, which is even more famous than him. But Sun Zhongmou's figure in Wu is everywhere.
From the court to the people, what he did seemed deviant at first, but it turned out later that he was right.
"King, there is only one Sun Zhongmou!" Xi Zhicai said lightly: "No matter how powerful he is, he can't turn the sky alone, let's not talk about whether he can pass the pass of Jinling City, even if he passes and becomes the king of Wu, one day after all, he will be defeated in the hands of the king, Wei State, the king, is the most powerful!" ”
"Huh!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled, and didn't say anything more, if he continued, he would have damaged his morale, but he became more and more jealous of Sun Zhongmou in his heart.
This person, if he can kill, he must not stay.
"Fengxiao, you give Wenhe a message, Sun Zhongmou's class is about to return to the dynasty, there will be chaos in Jinling, Sun Bofu and Sun Zhongmou, if it is not the enemy of Lone in the future, then Lone hopes that this person is Sun Bofu!"
Sun Ce's ability, city government, and strategy are not bad, he is definitely a strong man at the level of a young hero, but his character is flawed, he can only be regarded as a hero, and he can't become a hero.
But Sun Zhongmou made him a little jealous.
In Cao Cao's heart, maybe Sun Bofu was much easier to deal with than Sun Zhongmou.
"No!"
Guo Jia nodded, his eyes flashing with a touch of murderous intent.
"By the way, how is the Chibi decisive battle between Wu and Chu now?" Cao Cao raised his head, glanced at Xi Zhicai, and asked: "This battle is not only a matter in the south, but also related to us, I heard that Zhang Xiu was beaten by Lu Bu with a gray face!" ”
"Hmm!" Guo Jia sighed helplessly and said: "This tiger, out of the reins, is extremely grandiose, the former number one military general in the world, or the first military general in the world!" ”
"Huh!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Lone has never underestimated Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu lost to him, there is no surprise!" ”
"Actually, Chibi has almost beaten it!"
Xi Zhicai smiled slightly wryly, handed out a copy, and said: "This is the news sent by the ghost pawn just now, when Wuling was breached, Liu Biao was defeated, and he was defeated for thousands of miles, Sun Zhongmou won this battle again, and he won it very beautifully." ”
"Night raid on Gangneung?"
Cao Cao spread out the copy, ten lines at a glance, carefully looked at the news sent by the ghost scout, and said: "Good plan, a fire burned the grain and grass of Liu Biao's hundreds of thousands of troops, it is difficult for Liu Biao to be undefeated, and the most important thing is that in the end, he actually let go of the encirclement and suppression of Liu Biao, let Liu Biao attack Liu Bei, govern the enemy with the enemy, reduce his own casualties, and do a beautiful job!" ”
"In fact, there is not much strategy in this battle, from beginning to end, it is a tough battle!" Guo Jia said: "Sun Zhongmou is an injury for an injury, ordinary people would never dare to fight like this, after all, his casualties are too great, but Sun Zhongmou fought hard, he used Sun Jian's death to avenge his father." Always stabilize the morale of the army, which a certain family admires him more! ”
"The battle of Chibi is settled, and next, Liu Biao and Liu Bei can't afford to make big waves!"
Cao Cao sighed, squinted, and a trace of awe-inspiring light crossed his eyes: "Jingzhou is about to fall into the hands of Wu Guo." Sun Zhongmou's next step is to wave his troops back to the dynasty and clean up the mess in the country, no matter who is on the throne in the state of Wu, once he finds that the state of Wei is empty, he will definitely launch an attack on the state of Wei, before that, we must solve the state of Jin and defeat Yuan Shao in order to stabilize the situation in the state of Wei! ”
When the red cliff started. The battle of Guandu also began, from the north bank to the south bank, from Baima to Yanjin, the Wei army and the Jin army clashed no less than 100 times, but the battle situation was always twisted.
The strength of the two countries is actually almost the same, if you talk about the strength of the Jin State is a few points stronger than the Wei State, the land of Hebei has always been the hinterland of the Central Plains. Compared with the war-torn Yuzhou and Yanzhou, they have preserved too much strength.
"The King. Three days ago, Yanjin retreated, and we suffered a lot of losses and casualties! When Xi Zhi thought of the retreat from Yanjin, he was calculated by Tian Feng, and his eyes were a little gloomy.
He thought for a moment before whispering to Cao Cao: "At this moment. We need to settle the morale of the army and then counterattack! ”
"Can't wait!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head, his face crossed a look of determination, and said, "Sun Zhongmou's speed is too fast. Although Gu is ready for Wu to swallow Chu in one go, the speed of the Battle of Chibi is still beyond Gu's expectations, and Wu has basically solved Chu now, at most three months, they will be able to stabilize Jingzhou, if we are taking it off here, it will take at least a year and a half, and when the time comes, with Wu State's strong economic ability, we will basically recover our vitality, and we will be in trouble! ”
In Cao Cao's heart, the biggest enemy is still Wu Guo.
"King, in fact, we can learn from the strategy of the Battle of Chibi now!" Guo Jia said suddenly: "Burn its grain and grass!" ”
"It's a good ploy, but we can't find a place for them to store their grain and grass now?"
Cao Cao stood up, walked to the big sand table in the middle, and looked at the terrain of the sand table: "Now the battle line of Guandu is too long, the entire Yanjin is stretched into a line, Yuan Shao is cunning, and the Jin army is suspicious, and it is a little difficult for us to find out his grain and grass land." ”
"King, we can't find it, one person will know!"
Xi Zhicai suddenly remembered something, took out a copy from Cao Cao's desk, looked at it, handed it to Cao Cao, and said: "This is the object that the ghost pawn has been trying to rebel against all these years, it just so happens that he has been excluded from the Jin Kingdom court and has no place to stand, so let the ghost pawn take the risk to give it a try, even if it fails, we will attack at most!" ”
"Him?"
Cao Cao glanced at it, and his eyes lit up.
"Xu You!"
Guo Jia also came up, and his pupils contracted slightly.
——————————————————————————————
Jingzhou, Chibikou, fifty miles southwest, Beiling Mountain.
"You can let Liu Bei escape like this?"
Sun Quan sat in his seat, squinting at the three of them with amber crystal eyes, and said coldly with a cold light: "Linghe? They have tens of thousands of troops, and they don't even have a single warship, so you can still let them cross it, and don't you lose the face of the Wu army? ”
"Junhou, I'm sorry, we were wrong!"
Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, and Chen Gong knelt down in front of Sun Quan, and there was a hint of guilt on their faces.
"Huang Zhong, what the hell is going on?"
"No!"
Huang Zhong nodded, raised his head, and said in a low voice: "Junhou, we calculated before the war, there are not many roads leading to Wuling, and they are all rugged mountain roads, Liu Bei and their tens of thousands of troops, and a lot of heavy grain and grass, so there are only official roads to go, we thought that with Beiling Mountain, they would be unable to escape, but in the end, they chose the Linghe River that we thought was the most unlikely to cross the river, and crossed the river with a giant tree. ”
"Giant Tree Floating?" Sun Quan smiled coldly and said, "I see, there is not even a raft, it seems that there are a lot of casualties!" ”
"Of the 30,000 soldiers under Liu Bei's command, only 20,000 crossed the river at most, and more than 5,000 drowned in the river, and later we picked up 5,000 prisoners from the lower reaches of the Ling River!"
"Liu Bei, he's ruthless!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he gasped, if it was a death battle between the two armies, even if there were more than 10,000 casualties, he would be able to resist, after all, he would be killed or wounded, and the enemy would also be killed or wounded, at least there was a feeling of not losing.
But if he just crossed the river, he would have paid nearly 5,000 casualties, and Sun Quan thought he couldn't do it.
What a Liu Bei.
Ruthless enough.
"Mo Cong, where is Liu Biao's march now, has he entered Wuling?" Sun Quan thought about it, a little unwilling, he couldn't let Liu Bei escape like this.
"After Liu Biao's Chu army escaped from Chibi, they joined up with the remnants of Huarong Dao, because we let go of the official road of Wuling, so they marched quickly, and we lost Liu Bei on our side, and after they entered Wuling, they bit it!" Don't follow the road.
"Good!" When Sun Quan heard this, he was slightly overjoyed, this move was right.
"Junhou, this Chu King Liu Biao is also ruthless enough!" Pang Tong's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "A full 30,000 wounded soldiers of the Chu State, he said to throw it down, just throw it down, this strong man's broken arm is also decisive enough!" ”
"How Liu Biao is, it doesn't matter, he is a dignified King of Chu, he even gave up his own soldiers, obviously lost his courage, even if he survives, he will not be able to become a big weapon!"
Sun Quan stood up, his face was resolute, and he said with a resolute face: "But Liu Bei is a cockroach that can't be killed, and he must not let go, we can't let the tiger return to the mountain, if he is allowed to pass Wuling, once he is allowed to enter the river, it is equivalent to the tiger returning to the forest and the dragon entering the sea." ”
Liu Bei's resilience is definitely the strongest in the entire history of the Three Kingdoms.
Defeat after defeat, defeat after defeat.
Liu Bei is a person who gives him a little sunshine, and he can shine brightly, he can't beat him to death with a stick, even if he steps on the bottom of his feet, he can get up.
He wasn't sure if Liu Zhang would take Liu Bei in.
But with Liu Bei's three-inch incorruptible tongue, and this time Wu Guo's soldiers were too fierce and swallowed Chu State in one go, they have always been afraid, and it is not surprising to take Liu Bei in.
With Liu Bei's character and ability, it is normal to enter Sichuan and be anti-guest-oriented, and when the time comes, it will be Liu Bei and not Liu Zhang who will control the Bashu Heavenly Kingdom, so it will be difficult to fight.
You must know that in the battle of Chibi, the Wu army did not have three or five years, and it could not recover its vitality.
When the time comes, maybe Liu Bei will become the climate.
Alas!
Sun Quan thought about it, and sighed secretly in his heart, a little remorseful.
is more ruthless, or Liu Bei is ruthless.
If you say that you betrayed Liu Biao, you betrayed Liu Biao, and when you said that you crossed the river, you crossed the river, and you forcibly exchanged the lives of the soldiers under your command for a way to live.
He shouldn't have kept him.
Although the battle of Chibi was won, the casualties of the soldiers were too large, which made him shake a little in his heart, so he thought of using Liu Biao to deal with Liu Bei and reduce his own casualties.
didn't expect that this would allow Liu Bei to escape with his life.
If he hadn't given the order to suppress Huang Zhong and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses, the two of them would have been able to join forces one step in advance, if so, although there were a lot of casualties, Liu Bei would not have been able to escape at all.
He thought that he had done nothing wrong, after all, the casualties in the battle of Jingzhou were enough for Wu to bear, and he just underestimated the ruthlessness of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
"Junhou, we have one more move."
Pang Tong said suddenly: "Jinyiwei's news, Tai Shici has gone south from Jiangling, and tens of thousands of cavalry have entered Wuling, and now it should be in front of them, if he stops him, he may not be able to leave Liu Bei and them behind!" (To be continued......)
