At the end of spring in April, the faint fragrance of flowers still envelops the sky above Jinling City.

Forbidden City.

The Imperial Study.

The ministers were lined up, Sun Quan sat at the back of the imperial case, holding a battle report and letter from the north in his hand, his face was cloudy, his eyes were cold, and after about half a ring, he raised his head, looked at the ministers, and said: "Pang Tong strategy, what do you think?" ”

"Feasible!" Sun Ce took the lead in saying.

"Relying on foreigners is too risky!"

"Conspiracy, the line of success or failure, once it fails, Youzhou will never recover, and the Blood Wolf Legion will inevitably be wiped out!"

Pan Feng and Zhao Yun said their thoughts one after another.

"Do you have any ideas about the current situation in Youzhou?" Sun Quan continued to ask.

The generals looked at each other a few times and quickly shook their heads.

Now the situation in Youzhou is in danger, even if you want to increase troops in Youzhou at this moment, it will take at least a month, far from quenching your thirst, and the situation in northern Xinjiang, they can no longer control it in Jinling City.

"Accurate!"

Sun Quan sighed, thought deeply, and directly reviewed a big quasi-character on the book, then spread out the gold silk, wrote a national letter, signed it, stamped it with the jade seal of the country, and handed it to Mo Cong together with the book: "Mo Cong, use the channel of Jinyiwei, thousands of miles to expedite, send it to Youzhou!" ”

"No!"

Jinyi Weidu commanded Mo to take this piece of national letter respectfully with both hands, and left the imperial study with rapid steps.

At this time, the atmosphere in the imperial study was still a little cold.

Sun Quan took a deep breath, his amber eyes swept over the civil and military ministers under the hall, and said faintly: "I feel that this time the Kaichun Battle has completely exceeded my expectations, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger!" ”

In fact, this year was supposed to be a year of recuperation, whether it was him Dawu. or Cao Wei, they should all be accumulating.

Even if he has the heart to go to war, he only wants to control this year's campaign in the Qingzhou area.

After all, because of the large-scale battles launched the year before last, such as the Western Expedition to Bashu, the bloody battle of Bingzhou, and the Northern Expedition to Luoyang, they had already injured the foundation of the treasury of the Great Wu Dynasty. Now, the household department and the treasury, which have just recovered a little vitality, cannot withstand the toss.

Moreover, even the military has just completed the reform, and it has not yet been run in completely, plus the year before last year, under the bloody battle, there were heavy casualties, although even if the new soldiers have been replenished, but the new soldiers are new soldiers after all, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has not recovered to its peak.

In the face of this situation, it is best to delay it for two or three years.

Wait until the Wu army recovers its peak combat effectiveness. If Cao Wei is fought again, the victory of Eastern Wu will be greater than ever, because whether it is the combat effectiveness of soldiers or national strength, Eastern Wu has the advantage.

It's a pity that Cao Wei is not a vegetarian, they have already started this war one step ahead and controlled the rhythm of this war. As a result, Soochow is now in a passive situation.

Neither is it. You can't do it if you don't fight.

In other words, it's not that he Sun Zhongmou wants to fight, it's that he has to fight, and he still fights hard.

"Your Majesty!"

Pan Feng, the head of the Military Aircraft Department, stepped forward, arched his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Now Cao Wei has made it clear that he wants to swallow our Youzhou. The Blood Wolf Legion is in danger, we have no choice at all, even if we don't want to fight, we must grit our teeth and fight this battle! ”

"Your Majesty, the last general will ask for war!"

Zhao Yun stepped forward. The fighting spirit is awe-inspiring.

"Your Majesty, the last general will ask for war!"

Sun Ce, the lone general of the military department, also stood up, with a pair of tiger eyes like rainbows, looking at Sun Quan, Lang Sheng said: "Since he Cao Wei has now issued a war letter to us, then our Dawu will face the battle, and this is a momentum!" ”

The capture of Youzhou was Cao Wei's war letter to Eastern Wu.

Now that their Cao Wei's war book has been issued, if the Eastern Wu does not face the battle, it will be as if they are afraid of Cao Wei, this is a momentum related to the dispute between the two countries, and there can be no retreat.

"What Sun Shangshu said is very true, we are going to fight!"

One by one, the generals in the hall stepped out of the steps of the generals, bowed their hands to Sun Quan, and asked for battle.

"Zhang Zhao, if I want to go on a second Northern Expedition, does the cabinet have any opinions?"

Sun Quan looked at the momentum of the soldiers of the military, his heart moved, the green light in his eyes became sharper and sharper, and he turned to stare at Zhang Zhao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and suddenly asked.

The Northern Expedition was not a casual local battle, but a decisive battle that broke out between Eastern Wu and Cao Wei.

A battle to the death between the two imperial courts.

The first Northern Expedition, the failure of Eastern Wu, will make Cao Wei linger, if Eastern Wu succeeds, Cao Wei will disappear in history.

"Your Majesty!"

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he smiled slightly bitterly, and arched his hand and said: "If you insist on the northern expedition to Cao Wei, the old minister has nothing to say, as the first assistant of the cabinet, I will lead the cabinet up and down, for Your Majesty's decision-making, support to the end, but Weichen wants to explain one point, that is, His Majesty has formulated the preferential policy in the cabinet before, I am afraid that it will be delayed one by one, whether it is the education fund, or the Ministry of Industry's road and bridge construction grace, will be unconditionally postponed, after this war, no matter success or failure, the cabinet will inevitably be greatly injured!" ”

In a battle, the bloody battle of the soldiers at the front is fundamental, but logistical support is also the factor that determines success or failure.

"Anything, at this moment, I'm afraid it's not as important as dominating the world, rather than procrastinating, it's better to win or lose a war!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he sighed inexplicably.

In fact, the people of Dawu are living well now, but the template in his heart is always from the 21st century, he always wants to do the best thing, and he wants the people under his command to live well.

Therefore, while he went to war, he promoted the progress of the times and reformed the lives of the people.

But how can everything go as expected, and now some things still have to be let go in the face of the country's righteousness.

"Wushuang, Zilong!" Sun Quan stood up from his position, the momentum of the whole person changed, and the decisiveness of the killing of a generation of emperors made the ministers of Eastern Wu feel very clear at this moment.

"The last general!"

Pan Feng and Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed their heads to Sun Quanwei'an's figure.

"Now that this battle has come to this point, even if I want to take a step back, I'm afraid I can't do it, so I'll go one step forward, and I'll make a bet with Cao Mengde. Let's see who can't hold it first! ”

Sun Quan's gaze became firm, and his words were persistent: "He wants Youzhou, I give it to him, but I want the entire Cao Wei and Youzhou to leave it alone." Handed over to Pang Tong Huang Zhong, is it dead or said, look at them Zhao Hua, the military aircraft department has entered a first-level combat state, if I take the opportunity to attack Cao Wei in the north, this battle will be led by Pan Feng as the main commander, and Lu Bu and Zhao Yun will be the deputy general, no need to prepare, the Central Army. The Flying Tiger Legion, all attacked, and three days later, they swore to move, from Nanyang Jiujiang to the north to Yuzhou, and went straight to the Tiger Pass, and took Luoyang City at all costs! ”

"No!"

When the generals heard Sun Quan's categorical words, they trembled. hurriedly bowed his head and listened to the order.

"Lu Su. Sun Ben! ”

"In!"

"The household department and the logistics department form a Northern Expedition logistics team, Sun Ben is the logistics governor of the Northern Expedition, and Lu Su assists in logistics matters, even if the imperial court smashes the pot and sells iron, it can't let the soldiers go hungry!"

Sun Quan looked at the two of them: "If there is a problem with logistics, it will lead to the loss of the Northern Expedition." I only ask the two of you! ”

"No!"

The two nodded, glanced at each other, and each had a bitter smile on their faces.

This is not a good errand, after all, the treasury is tight nowadays, and it is difficult to organize stable logistics. The front-line soldiers are only responsible for the big battle, but if anything goes wrong with the logistics, the two of them may be drowned by the spittle of the soldiers.

"Pan Feng!" Sun Quan acted resolutely and continued to arrange.

"In!"

"The Military Aircraft Department immediately sent a military aircraft document to the two major armies in the west, the Bashu Legion and the War Elephant Legion, asking Chen Zhi and Xu Sheng to immediately send troops to suppress Liangzhou Guanzhong, and to suppress Cao Wei's main force in Guanzhong and Xiliang, and not allow them to go east to reinforce!"

Sun Quan's amber eyes flashed with coldness, his eyes were like rainbows, and he slapped his palm on the imperial case: "This battle is Cao Wei's head, but who said that it is over, it is not necessarily, I want to fight Cao Wei!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers bowed their heads and looked at this young and heroic Soochow monarch with some awe.

With Sun Quan's order, the war machine of the Great Wu Dynasty began to run at a high speed, and the transfer of the Central Army and the Flying Tiger Army could not hide the eyes of the ghost soldiers, so as soon as Dongwu moved, Cao Wei also began to get nervous.

――――――――――――――――――――

Youzhou.

Jicheng.

The Wu army withdrew from Guangyang County, the Wei army was naturally driven straight in, and now the troops have come to the city of Jicheng, and they can storm the city at any time, and the main general of the Wei army is the general Zhang Liao, leading the main force, breaking through several passes in a row, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

"General, when are we going to capture Jicheng?"

In the middle camp of the Wei army, Yu Ban looked at Zhang Liao and asked.

"No hurry!"

Zhang Liao held a book in his hand, sitting at the top of the camp, his expression was indifferent, the more nervous he was, the calmer he became: "Jicheng is close at hand, we have to calm down!" ”

"But I'm afraid that if it drags on like this, the reinforcements of the Wu army will return for reinforcements, and then our strategy will fall short!" In the forbidden road.

"Huh!"

Zhang Liao smiled coldly: "I'm not worried about the Crazy Lion Legion at all, now that Tian Feng has won the big port of Youzhou, we have at least half a month to fight for, we have enough time to take Jicheng, but I'm more worried about Pang Tong now!" ”

"Pang Shiyuan?"

Yu Ban's eyes twitched slightly: "Isn't he in Daijun now?" ”

"Le came in with the news, and now it's only Cao Xing who is entangled with him in Daijun!"

Zhang Liao put down the book in his hand, and a cold glow burst out in his eyes: "Pang Tong, I have already paid attention to him in Bingzhou, and I have made good use of tricks to make people unpredictable, his sudden disappearance must have a plan, I have asked the ghost pawn Youyantangkou to chase after him!" ”

"General, in Youzhou today, Pang Tong has no troops in his hands, even if he is a good woman, it is difficult to cook without rice!" Yu Ban said.

"That's what you said!"

Zhang Liao nodded, sighed, the sorrow in his eyes did not weaken, but became more cautious: "That's it, I can't figure out what he Pang Tong is planning!" ”

"Will the general be that you think too much!"

Yu Ban whispered.

"Maybe!"

Zhang Liao didn't refute, but said lightly: "But on the battlefield, think a little more, there is nothing wrong, don't worry, we are determined to win this battle, I will not be afraid of it, this Jicheng must be broken!" ”

"Then when are we going to attack Jicheng?"

"Waiting, waiting for reinforcements!"

Zhang Liao raised his head, glanced at Yu Ban indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "If you rely on your Zuo Wuwei's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses now, you won't be able to take Jicheng at all!" ”

"That's right, Huang Zhong personally defended the city, with my troops, it is true that I can't take Jicheng, but now we have reinforcements?" Yu Banyan was a little puzzled.

Lejin is in Daijun, and he was dragged by Cao Xing's soldiers and horses, and if he wants to go south to Jicheng, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

"Yes!"

Zhang Liao stood up, looked at the bright sky outside the window, and said loudly: "Cao Hong and Xu Huang have gone north, if nothing happens, within three days, Xu Huang's Zuo Xiaowei should be able to arrive in Jicheng, if there is no adequate preparation, the imperial court will not dare to rashly go to the land of Youzhou, this battle will be won by my Great Wei!" ”

"This battle will be won!"

Yu Ban's eyes were burning, he knew that Cao Hongdong was coming, but he didn't think that Xu Huang actually went north, so that in this battle of Youzhou, Cao Wei's victory was already eighty. (To be continued.) )
