Chapter 538: The Time Has Not Come
When Sun Ce resisted Jinling, the open and secret battles in Jinling City had reached a situation where you were dead and I was killed.
Of course, for the time being, this qiē has been left behind by Sun Quan.
Although the state of Wu has not been established for a long time, from the first year of the Warring States period to the present, it is less than four years, but in the past few years, the prestige and heritage accumulated by the court of Wu are not weak.
The most important thing is that above the court of the Wu State, there are many talents, as long as the court is stable, even if the Wu State is now in a state of no owner, Sun Quan is not afraid of the collapse of the Wu State.
After all, Wu Guo can rely on a lot of ministers.
ZHANG Zhao, ZHANG Hong, PAN Feng, CHENG Pu, SUN Jing, WU Jing...... As long as these people can still maintain a certain level of calm, then he believes that within three months, the situation in the court of Wu can still be stabilized.
As for Sun Ce, since Sun Quan dared to put Sun Ce back, he had already thought of all the results.
After Sun Ce returns to Jinling, it doesn't matter whether he will ascend the throne quickly, the most important thing is that as long as he lives in Jinling, then Wu will not be in an atmosphere of dragons and no leader.
Sun Ce, Sun Jian's eldest son, the first heir of the Wu State.
He is also the little overlord of Jiangdong.
He was able to bring confidence and stability to the state of Wu, where people's hearts were in turmoil.
The territory of Wu is too large, and today, no vassal state can be compared with the territory of Wu, and Wu connects the north and south regions, and the biggest reliance is on the navy of Wu.
The navy of Wu State, which is above the sea area, has powerful warships and strong combat effectiveness, and it comes and goes freely, penetrating all sea routes, and deterring the Quartet is slightly smaller.
The state of Wu conquered the city. It's not that I haven't experienced rebellions, but all the rebellions, under the deterrence of the navy, were shattered as soon as they appeared, and they didn't even have a chance to report to the court.
However, most of the main forces of the Wu navy have now been transferred to Jingzhou, and the other navies are far away in the South China Sea. Relatively speaking, the navy's control over the waters of the East China Sea will inevitably be weak.
The East China Sea is the sea area where Wu connects the northern frontier, and now there is a vacuum period, under normal circumstances, the deterrent power of Wu is strong, even if it is a bit of a vacuum period, this is no problem, but now the special situation is coming.
Sun Jian died.
Sun Jian was the king of Wu. The only ruler of the Wu State, and also the spiritual leader of tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of troops, as soon as he died, the people of Jiangdong would be panicked, and they were the people of Northern Xinjiang who had not yet fully returned to their hearts.
The confusion of people, coupled with the weakness of the navy in the East China Sea, can barely patrol the sea routes. But they couldn't land, and the two things overlapped. Turmoil in all directions of Wu is inevitable.
In fact, Wu has a good policy in recent years, it is definitely the best among all the vassal states, and Wu has single-handedly quelled the war, hit the powerful landlords, distribute land, and reduce taxes. The people's hearts are still cohesive, and eighty percent of the people will remember the good of the court.
But over the years, the Wu army has conquered the south and the north, fought everywhere, and forged this piece of country with blood. The people killed can be piled up as high as several mountains of bones.
With the strong force of the country, there are still flaws.
In particular, the northern Xinjiang region, which is some distance from Jiangdong itself, Youzhou, Pingzhou, Mahan, and Waguo, which already belongs to the territory of Wu, is located in northern Xinjiang.
Although they have gradually converged, there are many people who want to rebel against Wu, the remnants of Gongsun Zhan, the nomads, and Gongsun Du, who can't see the attitude clearly......
These are all hidden dangers, when the dragons are leaderless, when people's hearts are in turmoil, this is their best chance, and the only chance.
Therefore, there will be chaos in northern Xinjiang.
If you want to calm the chaos, the first point is to stabilize the hearts of the people in the Wu Kingdom, and if you want to stabilize the hearts of the people, someone needs to suppress the overall situation of the Wu Kingdom.
The person who can suppress the overall situation of Wu will not be a courtier or general, but will only be the heir of the royal family of Wu.
Although Sun Yi is in Jinling, although he is ambitious, although he controls a certain amount of power, he has no prestige, and his three or two kung fu is not enough to deter the overall situation of Wu State.
Unless Sun Quan is willing to return to the court, it is the only way to put Sun Ce back.
This is one of the reasons why Sun Quan is willing to put this arrogant lion back into Jinling.
As long as Sun Ceshun returns to Jinling, the name of the Jiangdong Xiaobawang is enough to suppress the overall situation of Wu and stabilize the hearts of the people, no matter how much Jinling City fights, how to fight, how chaotic, the overall situation of the entire Wu State cannot be chaotic.
Therefore, the current Sun Quan doesn't want to pay attention to the turmoil in Jinling City, he just wants to do one thing with the most focused attitude - destroy the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in Chibi and avenge his father.
Sun Jian died, died at the hands of Guan Yu, this is good news for Liu Biao, the Jiangdong Tiger has been pressing on his head for nearly ten years, almost making him breathless, and now that he died in Jingzhou, Liu Biao is relaxed and excited.
Therefore, he burst out with pride and regained his ambition to ride into Jingzhou alone, and he hollowed out the whole Chu State in one go, and gathered hundreds of thousands of Chu troops to take Chibi as the battlefield and Jiangling City as the backing, forming a long camp on the river for dozens of miles.
In the face of Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, he has no confidence, but in the face of Sun Quan, a kid who has a dry smell, can he still have no confidence?
This time, he pressed all the forces of the Chu State, defeated Sun Quan in one fell swoop, drove the Wu army out of Jingzhou, and recovered the lost territory of the Chu State.
As everyone knows, his move is in Sun Quan's arms.
If you choose to divide the troops and cower, I still think it's a big trouble, and now you actually gather all the troops of the Chu State to fight me to the death, and I will crush you to death.
Although Sun Jian died, in fact, Wu Jun did not suffer much damage, in the final analysis, Sun Jian's death was just an accident, not a defeat and death.
If it weren't for Sun Jian's recklessness, he would not have died under Guan Yu's cold arrow.
So, on the battlefield, sometimes it's really about luck.
Sun Jian's luck is like this, maybe it's fate, in history, Sun Jian seems to have died in Xiangyang Daxian Mountain, and he also died under a cold arrow.
Sun Quan was sometimes depressed, and he might have listened to Zuo Ci's words in the first place.
But Sun Jian is dead, people can't be resurrected after death, he is sad, he is angry, he is resentful. He blamed himself......
There was only one thing he could do.
Avenge!
The strength of the Wu army was more than double that of the Chu army, whether it was the number of soldiers, the training course of the soldiers, the weapons and equipment of the soldiers, or the performance of the warships, all surpassed the Chu army.
Just go to war. Sun Quan thought that he didn't need any stratagem, and he could choose the most brutal and direct method to crush him!
In the Chibi War in history, Cao Cao went south with overwhelming strength, but finally returned defeated, for several reasons, Sun Quan was not familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and he couldn't figure out the mystery of Cao Cao's defeat, but there was one thing he knew.
Northlanders are not familiar with water. He didn't understand the use of warships and couldn't fight battles on the water, which was one of the roots of Cao Cao's defeat.
But this point will never fall on the head of Wu Jun.
The battle on the water and the control of the warship are the things that the Wu Navy is best at, and in this regard, if the Wu Navy says second, no one dares to say first.
From the river to the sea. In the battle on the water, the Wu navy has never been defeated. They will always be the strongest.
Not counting the soldiers and horses that Lu Bu has already entered Nanjun, there are now nearly 250,000 soldiers of Wu State, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai gathered around Chibi. Gao Shun and Zu Mao are all first-class generals, and they have this kind of force, if they can't crush Liu Biao. Sun Quan planned to buy a tofu for himself, and then he died head-on.
In this battle, he will definitely win, and he will win big, and he will win beautifully, so he set a goal for himself, kill Liu Biao, kill Liu Bei, kill Cai Mao, and capture Kuai Liang......
The first battle was decided in Jingzhou!
……
Chibi held against each other, and Fankou and Xiakou became the rear of the Wu State.
Early morning.
The breath of spring has arrived, and the heavy fog is shrouded in the heavy river, and the battle flags of Wu Guo stand on the top of the warships, and these battle flags are hunting in the early morning breeze.
"Junhou, why don't you take a break from studying the battle situation overnight last night?" Han Gang walked into the cabin with a plate of washing water, and saw that Sun Quan had already gotten up and was dressing up his hair, so he whispered comfort.
The battle of Chibi involved the decisive battle between the two countries, the confrontation between hundreds of thousands of armies, and the slightest difference would lead to a large number of unnecessary casualties.
Therefore, even if Sun Quan is now in a hurry to take revenge and kill Guan Yu and Liu Bei, he also hopes to make a qiē the most perfect before the war.
Therefore, he and Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Zhou Tai, Xue Zhou, Tai Shici, and Pang Tong have been studying the battle situation for several days in a row, and now they have never decided on the time of the decisive battle and the route of the march.
In the past few days, he had slept for less than five hours, and his whole person looked a little tired.
"It's okay!"
Sun Quan bunned his hair, then tied the red silk of the battle armor on his waist, put on his plain clothes, and said lightly: "Being young is a blessing, I am not a weak scholar, in terms of martial arts, I am not under you, and I can still resist this bitterness!" ”
"Then you can't do anything with your body!"
Han Gang soaked the towel into the hot water, then wrung it out, handed it to Sun Quan, glanced at him, thought about it, and then said in a low voice: "Junhou, now you are not alone, but one person is the life of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, you need to be cautious!" ”
"Huh!"
Sun Quan wiped his face, showed a relieved smile, and said lightly: "You kid is getting more and more verbose!" ”
Han Gang has always been his personal bodyguard and his confidant, he was a stuffy gourd before, and after Luohan died in Jingzhou, he was even more silent, but now he is talking more and more.
"By the way, does the Chu army in Chibi have any reaction now?" Sun Quan walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck, looking through the haze and looking at the red cliffs more than dozens of miles away.
The atmosphere in Chibi became more and more tense, and with the arrival of Sun Quan's main force and Huang Zhong's arrival in the south, the Chu army began to become more and more unstable, and there were small-scale battles in the past few days.
"No news back!" Han Gang shook his head and said, "Yesterday's report from the scout ship is still in the midst of confrontation, except for the constant fighting between the scouts of the two sides, the others are still calm!" ”
"What about Jiang Qin?"
This is a move that Zhou Tai once buried, and now it can be regarded as a role.
"After Jiang Qin's sneak attack on Jiangling, he wanted to burn Jiangling with a fire, and Liu Biao's granary was broken, but unfortunately, he killed a Chen Zhi, and finally failed, and was almost killed, and in the end, it was General Zhou Tai who sent troops quickly to save him, but the three thousand soldiers under his command were almost all gone!"
"Chen?"
When Sun Quan heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up with a sneer: "It's Zhuge Liang again, he is cautious enough, knowing that we will find a way to cut off their grain route, and actually sent this tiger general to Jiangling!" ”
Chen Zhi is Liu Bei's tiger general, controlling Liu Bei's most elite soldiers and horses, he is not in front of him to protect Liu Bei, but he will appear in Jiangling City, the granary of the Chu army, it must be that Zhuge Liang took into account the environment of Jiangling.
"Pass on my military orders!"
Sun Quan thought for a while, his eyes crossed a cold essence, and said: "Let the tens of thousands of troops under Zhou Tai's command move, attack Chibi with all their might, and test Liu Biao's heart for a decisive battle!" ”
"No!"
Han Gang nodded, walked down, and passed Sun Quan's military order.
After Sun Quan had breakfast, he walked into the command cabin, which was the largest cabin of the Tiger Building, and it was also the general headquarters of Wu Guo's Western Expeditionary Army.
Behind the cabin, there were dozens of big and small strategists, sorting out the news that the Jinyi Guard had sent back from all directions.
"Prince!"
Pang Tong greeted him.
"Shi Yuan, look at you are a little depressed and unhappy now!" Sun Quan glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "It should be that the Yangtze River Water Village didn't stop Sun Ce and let him return to Wu Country smoothly, right?" ”
He knew that Pang Tong and Xu Shu would not let Sun Ce return to Wu so smoothly.
The only place where they can do it is the Yangtze River Water Village, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Yangtze River Water Village are Gan Ning's subordinates, and Gan Ning is estimated that he will not oppose their actions and will cooperate.
"Since the prince knows, why bother asking!"
Pang Tong raised his head, his eyes had a cold light, and said: "Sun Bofu has announced the world of Wu yesterday, the king will return to heaven, and the whole country will mourn, and the next step is probably to ascend the throne!" ”
"He won't!" Hearing this, Sun Quan shook his head and said lightly, but his voice was very firm.
"Why?"
When Pang Tong heard this, he frowned a little, and then retorted coldly, and said: "Such a great opportunity, he Sun Bofu is not a fool, how can he stop there, Junhou, not everyone is you, with Sun Bofu's prestige, influence in the army, and the unparalleled wisdom of a Jiangdong Zhou Lang Zhou Gongjin, will they let this opportunity go?" ”
"Shi Yuan, you say, do you know more about Sun Bofu, or do I Sun Zhongmou know more about Sun Bofu?" Sun Quan asked lightly.
"This?"
Pang Tong didn't dare to say that he knew Sun Bofu better than Sun Quan, in fact, although he had some research on Sun Ce, but it was all on paper, and he didn't get along for a long time, he still couldn't figure out Sun Ce, and even couldn't see his master Sun Quan clearly.
"Shi Yuan, Sun Bofu is my brother, I know better than you, sometimes it's a mistake to be too proud, he is just too proud!"
Sun Quan said lightly: "Sun Ce's pride, isn't it something you and I can understand, Jiangdong Little Overlord?" Maybe the whole little word makes you look down on him, in my heart, it is the overlord of Jiangdong, I know, he will definitely not give up, he will definitely fight for the throne of Wu at any cost, this is originally his, but, not at this time! ”
"When was that?" Pang Tong's eyes lit up.
"When his silver spear has penetrated Sun Zhongmou's neck, it will be when he ascends the Great Treasure of Wu State!"
Sun Quan put his hands behind his back, and there was a depth in the depths of his eyes that even Pang Tong couldn't understand. (To be continued......)
