Chapter 1154: Chinese New Year's Eve
Since the Wuguan Incident, the relationship between Wu and Wei has suddenly become more and more tense, and the exchange of prisoners that had been negotiated has also stagnated, and the atmosphere on the frontier has a manifestation of a major war about to break out.
The Wu army pressed all the forces of the Eighth Army of the Flying Tiger Army in Wuguancheng in one go, and the Wei army held east and west in Guancheng, friction and friction, and one or two small battles broke out every day.
At the same time, in order to deal with the loss of Wuguan this time, and in order to give the Wei army on the entire front a force of oppression, the Military Aircraft Department ordered to press the main force of the Flame Army in the Xuzhou area of Qingzhou to the land of Yanzhou.
The Flame Legion combined with the soldiers and horses of the Western Expeditionary Corps led by Sun Ce to overwhelm the city with heavy troops, and began to show the momentum of black clouds crushing the city against the Tiger Prison Pass.
The Wei army also began to deal with it calmly, and Cao Cao even sent the general Zhang Liao to personally dispatch the tiger to prison.
Under the Bishui Pass, Guo Jia and Lu Bu also transferred troops again and again, and there was a tendency to fight.
9th year of the Warring States period, December, 20th.
The Military Aircraft Pavilion convened a temporary military aircraft conference.
Presiding over the meeting was Sun Quan, at whom Sun Quan formally proposed a grand strategy of comprehensive encirclement and encirclement, suppression, and encroachment on the territory of the Wei army, and he divided the forces of the Wu army into three major theaters to deal with the tripartite battlefield.
The first theater is a frontal battlefield, which is established by hundreds of thousands of troops of the Central Army, the Flying Tiger Legion, the Flame Legion, and the Western Expeditionary Legion, and is connected by the three passes.
LΓΌ Bu was appointed commander-in-chief of the theater, Sun Ce Juyi was appointed deputy commander, and He Qi was appointed chief of staff.
The second theater is the northern battlefield, with the northern and state fronts as the main battlefield, and a rolling front is drawn out in Yanmen County and Changshan County of Jizhou, and the main forces are the Blood Wolf Legion and the Wild Lion Legion.
The commander-in-chief of the theater is Huang Zhong, the deputy commander is Zu Mao, and the chief of the general staff is Pang Tong.
The third theater is the western battlefield, with Liangzhou Guanzhong as the main battlefield, and the main forces under its jurisdiction are the Bashu Army and the War Elephant Army.
Sun Quan also deliberately proposed Zhuge Liang as the commander-in-chief of the theater and overall responsibility for the western campaign, Chen to Xu Sheng as the deputy commander of the left and right, and Fa Zheng as the chief of the general staff.
Although this proposal was opposed by many people, it was still approved by the military aircraft conference.
After the meeting, this document, which represents the supreme strategy of the central court, was officially distributed to all the legions as quickly as possible.
β¦β¦
The atmosphere of the New Year is getting closer and closer, and the inside of Jinling City is beginning to become more and more lively.
But Sun Quan in the imperial study of the Forbidden Palace is getting busier and busier.
Although this year has made a breakthrough in the Central Plains battlefield, the casualties are also a little too heavy, and there are too many things to sort out in addition to the changes in the west and Wuguan.
On this day, Ju Yi, the commander of the Central Plains Army, was summoned to the imperial study by Sun Quan.
"Commander Ju, how is the training of the recruits of the Central Legion?"
Sun Quan was more concerned about how the Central Army, which was the largest in Wu's army, with the largest number of soldiers, the most complete troops, and the strongest combat effectiveness, recovered.
The combat effectiveness of this legion is related to the decisive battle in the future.
"Your Majesty, at present, the Central Army has replenished its full strength, they have been training for a period of time, and they can also go to the battlefield, but if you want to restore the previous eighty percent of the combat effectiveness, it will take at least one year of training and integration!"
Ju Yi smiled bitterly: "This is something that can't be rushed!" β
He gave orders to rectify the Central Army in danger, which was a chore, and suddenly sent Zhuge Liang to the west, and he was even more busy with his heels.
"I know that you have worked hard, Zhuge Kongming is now in the west, you have one less chief of staff, and you have to deal with it alone at any time, you are really in a hurry!"
Sun Quan nodded: "But now the situation between our two dynasties is very unstable, no one knows when Armageddon will break out, although we have always calculated well, but there are always accidents, so you must restore the combat effectiveness of the Central Army as soon as possible!" β
"Yes!"
Ju Yi nodded heavily, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly surrendered his hand to request, and said, "Your Majesty, the last general will ask for one thing!" β
"Say!"
"There is an officer teaching group in the Western Expeditionary Corps, and at the beginning, they drew out outstanding officers from many places in the army to form this teaching group, and they also included all the talents in the first section of the martial arts examination, and now it is time to give back!" Ju Yi said.
"You're keeping an eye on it, I'm afraid it's not you alone, it's Lu Bu and Huang Zhong who are angry with you, so you dare to bring it up, right?"
Sun Quan was not surprised by this, smiled slightly, and said indifferently.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Ju Yi did not deny this, he said with a wry smile: "Didn't they return to the Central Plains with the 28th Army now?" I'm afraid that after a while, they may all become officers of the Western Expeditionary Legion, the Flame Legion and the Sea Eagle Legion, Sun Bofu Taishi Zi Zhou Taihe Gongmiao They have reached an alliance and plan to quietly divide them, if we don't start, when their establishment is fully implemented into several legions, there will be nothing to do with our legions, our Central Legion has suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and there is a lack of backbone officers, or Your Majesty's grace! β
"I don't know about this!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "They are fast enough!" β
This kind of competition for talents, how they should form an alliance, Sun Quan is happy to succeed, as the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, one general is hard to find, officers are the foundation of the army, and it is right to compete for talents.
If you want your own army to be strong, this is a normal thing, as long as they don't touch Sun Quan's bottom line, Sun Quan will not treat them as a party with different factions.
"Yuan Zhi, do you know about this?"
Sun Quan looked at Xu Shu, who was writing a record of the talks next to him.
"Huh!"
When Xu Shu heard this, he put down the pen in his hand and smiled: "Your Majesty, Weichen has heard a little, I heard that some time ago, Commander Lu personally went to the Western Expeditionary Corps to ask for someone, but Sun Shangshu bit it to death, and the two almost slapped the table!" β
"Did you get into a fight?"
There was a sparkle in Sun Quan's eyes.
"Your Majesty, your attitude of fearing that the world will not be chaotic is not good!" Xu Shu broke out in a cold sweat.
"I'm worried that they will hurt their bodies by pressing their anger, and it will be healthier to vent and vent!"
Sun Quan smiled, then returned to the topic, he thought for a while, and said: "But this group of officers really can't let Taishi Ziyi and He Gongmiao divide them like this, Xu Shu, your officer teaching corps makes a list, let Cheng Pu preside over it, and assign it back to each legion!" β
"Yes!"
"Ju Yi, do you think it's okay?" Sun Quan raised his head, looked at Ju Yi, and asked.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ju Yi nodded hurriedly, his expression was a little happy, and let Cheng Pu distribute it, then he would be the first to get the moon near the water: "Your Majesty, the last general will retire first!" β
Then he quickly left the imperial study and went straight to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, intending to have a good chat with the head of the military aircraft about life.
"Ju Yi has begun to completely integrate into our Great Wu, this is a good thing, he represents not only one person, but also many generals, including Lu Fengxian, the tiger!"
Sun Quan squinted slightly.
"Your Majesty's vision is still so outstanding!" Xu Shu nodded, he had to admire Sun Quan's mind and sunshine, few people could tolerate Lu Bu Juyi, these surrendered generals.
"Zhuge Liang is not here, he is struggling to support the Central Army alone, when you are free, take care of military affairs for him, and he can be regarded as the acting chief of staff!"
Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Also, among the officer training corps, leave Lu Xun for me, and you can personally inspect him to see if he is qualified to be the chief of staff of the Central Army!" β
"Yes!"
Xu Shu nodded: "Lu Xun is good, but is there less seniority in the military!" β
"If it is a talent, it must be used, Lu Xun is definitely a strategic talent, and he can't be wasted, by the way, how is the battle of Liangzhou in the west now?" Sun Quan remembered the battle in the Western Theater and asked, "At this time, there should be news of the Battle of Hanyang!" β
"There is good news, I came back yesterday, Your Majesty has been too busy these days, I haven't had time to report it!"
Xu Shu showed a smile on his face: "Meng Shu held Jicheng, Hanyang County is still in our hands, Sima Yi is powerless, retreat to Anding County, to Anding County, Beidi County, Wuwei County, Jincheng County, Longyou County, surround Hanyang County, however, now that Hanyang and Wudu are connected in a line, this war is stable, for us, the overall trend is good!" β
"Oh?"
Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he said: "Come quickly, the process of this battle, if you want to keep Hanyang, it must be a bloody battle, Meng Shu is snatching food from Sima Yi's mouth, it should be very exciting!" β
"It's exciting!"
Xu Shu took out a battlefield report document from the west from a pile of documents, handed it to Sun Quan, and then began to explain the battle: "The main force of the Wei army arrived in Jicheng one step earlier than the 14th Army, and Sima Yi even sent Zhang Lu to lead 10,000 Wei soldiers to block the way of our 14th Army to Jicheng in Xixian to help, but when the 14th Army entered Hanyang in Xiliang, it had actually divided its troops. β
"Division?"
Sun Quan's eyes lit up.
"That's right, Meng Huo, Mrs. Zhurong, the pair of Nanban couples, use the strategy of crossing the sky and the sea very sophisticatedly, almost superb!"
Xu Shu said: "Mrs. Zhurong led the frontal troops and horses instead of Meng Shu, and held Zhang Lu in Xixian with the momentum of a feint, but the main force of the 14th Army has entered Jicheng from the Didao on the border of Longyou. β
"Sima Yi is going to suffer?"
"It's a loss!"
Xu Shu nodded: "When they stormed Jicheng, Meng Shu led a large army to attack it from behind, but this person was cautious and alert, he not only arranged an ambush in his rear camp to block the general trend of Meng Shu's surprise attack, but he saw that there was no hope of capturing Jicheng, so he immediately retreated, rather than lose the opportunity than give us a chance to defeat him!" β
"This mound tiger is getting harder and harder to deal with!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he smiled coldly: "But I don't believe it, Wolong is not as good as Tsukasa Hu, and the big battle in the coming year is a good show!" β
"Your Majesty believes so much in Zhuge Liang?"
Xu Shu was a little surprised.
"I believe in fate!"
Sun Quan smiled slightly and said something that Xu Shu didn't understand.
β¦β¦
Time passed day by day, time flowed, and the nine years of the Warring States period came to the final end.
Chinese New Year's Eve is coming, Jinling City is in a hustle and bustle, every household has come to be lit up, and children on the streets and alleys are wearing new clothes and playing in the snow.
No matter what the war on the front line is, success or failure, the cruel battlefield has always been far, far away from them, and in their hearts, Jinling City will always be quiet and prosperous.
But victory was very close to them.
In this year's Kwantung Campaign, the Wu army took Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou in one fell swoop, and completely drove the Wei army into the land of Guanzhong.
In one fell swoop, it occupies most of the Central Plains.
Seeing that the Great Wu was about to dominate the world, as the Wu people in the capital, the most recognized people by the imperial court, they were excited and happy from the bottom of their hearts.
This year, in the eyes of Sun Quan, is a little sad, but in the eyes of the people in the capital, it is beautiful, and every household is happy. (To be continued.) )
