Chapter 1010: The Ninth Year of the Warring States Period
In the eighth year of the Warring States Period, in a storm, it passed quietly.
In the ninth year of the Warring States period, unconsciously, it came quietly.
At the time of the first month, under the influence of the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, the world of the Central Plains showed a quiet and peaceful atmosphere everywhere, and the relationship between the Wu and Wei dynasties seemed to have been eased to a certain extent.
Even the cities on the frontier have an extra connection.
However, the good times did not last long, and when the ninth year of the Warring States period entered February, the situation in the Central Plains changed dramatically in an instant.
The Wei army was the first to move, and Cao Cao directly transferred Cao Wei's elite main troops and horses of the two guards to suppress the civil unrest in Xiliang, a total of nearly 100,000 strong troops, directly into the capital city of Luoyang.
This made the military aircraft department of Soochow begin to speculate constantly about Cao Wei's intentions.
But there was no result, the action of the Wei army came again, Cao Cao gave an order, actually let go of Montenegro, and also sent the Lejin Department that suppressed the Montenegrin army to Jizhou Hejian to reinforce Zhuojun Yuban.
The Wei army increased its troops in Zhuo County, and the Blood Wolf Legion of the Wu Army naturally had to deal with it as soon as possible, and Pang Tong, the chief of staff of the Blood Wolf Army, personally led the strength of an army to press on Zhuo County.
The situation in Youzhou has become tense in vain.
However, this was only the beginning, and in the following month, the soldiers and horses of the Wu army and the Wei army were mobilized again and again, although they did not fight, but they also made the whole world become depressed and nervous.
First of all, Pang De and Sima Yi suddenly attacked in Wudu, took down the swaying Liangzhou general Ma Dai, controlled all the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, and then sent troops to press Baima Pass, looking east to Hanzhong, and south to Bashu.
This move of the Wei army will naturally make the Wu army in the Bashu region suddenly become vigilant, and the commander of the Bashu army, Chen Zhi, without saying a word, personally led the troops of an army north to Baima Pass.
Under Wu's strong response, war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
Of course. This battle did not start, in the final analysis, it was all a fox and a fake tiger, and no one had the confidence to start a war, but under the tense confrontation between the two armies, no one dared to pack a ticket and not start a war, and the peaceful situation in the west began to be urgent.
Subsequently. The Wei general Zhang He, who was guarding Jiujiang, went out of Xiaoyaojin from Shouchun City without warning, and suddenly alarmed the Central Army in Jiangdong, and Zhao Zilong, the commander of the Central Army, crossed the first army of the Central Army to the north.
The First Army of the Central Army has changed the Northern Army of that year, and the commander is Gao Shun, and the situation caused by this fierce general's northward movement will naturally not be very optimistic.
The first Wu army to move was the Flying Tiger Legion in Jingzhou, and Lu Bu was in mid-February. Personally led the forces of the two armies, and suddenly went north to Shinno.
Lu Bu is the world's number one fierce general, brave and brave in the world, this time he can frighten Nanyang's Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu did not dare to have a little contempt, he took all the soldiers and horses under his command out of Wancheng, pressing on the first line of thorny water.
Zhang Xiu responded to LΓΌ Bu's northward march with a tough attitude, while on the other hand, he hurriedly asked for help from Xiahoudun in Yuzhou. Nanyang is also in an atmosphere of imminent explosion......
With the successive transfers of troops between the two countries, the atmosphere in the whole world soon became tense.
By the end of February. The atmosphere in which the war was about to break out became more tense, and Ma Chao, who was located in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, fought undeclared, led the Xiliang cavalry, and fought a bloody battle for two days under the long-distance attack, defeating a division of the Blood Wolf Legion. Took the Yanmen Pass.
Yanmen Pass is the gateway of Yanmen, out of Yanmen Pass is the Yin Pavilion, this is the center of Yanmen County, Yanmen Pass was broken by the Wei army, and the Yin Pavilion is precarious.
This move suddenly made Wu Wei begin to enter the rhythm of war.
New year. However, it is only the Spring Festival that has just come out, and it has not yet fully opened the spring season, and the two countries between Wu and Wei are already full of gunpowder, as if a decisive battle is imminent.
Jinling City.
Military Aircraft Pavilion.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire military aircraft department is very tense and oppressive, and with the return of military news from all directions, confidential documents coming in and out, military generals and staff officers are all leaving in a hurry, and military division meetings are being staged one after another.
Located in the circular conference hall in the middle of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Emperor Sun Quan sits on the first place.
Pan Feng, the first of the Military Aircraft Department, Ju Yi, the second of Ju Yi, Sun Ce, the secretary of the Military Department, Zhou Yu, the secretary of the General Staff, Zhao Yun, the commander of the Central Army, He Qi, the commander of the Flame Army, and Zhou Tai of the Sea Eagle Legion...... One by one, they sat solemnly.
Those who are qualified to sit in this hall are basically military giants with the rank of general.
After the completion of the third reform of the Military Aircraft Department, the generals, captains, hussar generals, chariot generals, and Wei generals from the previous dynasty were inherited...... These fictitious military positions have been completely replaced by the rank of general.
Today's military, it is Sun Quan who has emulated the modern military establishment, focusing on military ranks and actual positions, and the rank of captain and lieutenant is unchanged, but among the general-level military ranks, there have been great changes, not only the military ranks of those great generals have been lost, but also the heavy generals and miscellaneous generals have been dismissed.
Among today's military ranks, the rank of general, the general is the highest military rank, and below the general, there are major generals, lieutenant generals, one-star generals, two-star generals, and three-star generals.
Those who can get the rank of general are basically giants above the commander of the corps.
"What do you think about the merger of states?"
Sun Quan raised his head from the military intelligence file, his eyes swept over the solemn Wu army generals one by one, and asked: "The answer Cao Wei gave us was that Ma Chao started the war without authorization, not their original intention!" β
"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the Wei army should be scaring us, even if they start a war, it should not be at this time, and if they want to take Yanmen, with the strength of the Blood Wolf Legion, they will not do it at all, I am more inclined to do it by himself, is it Ma Chao himself who did it!"
Pan Feng said.
"Your Majesty, I think there is something strange in this matter!"
There was a touch of gloom in Zhou Yu's expression: "Although Ma Chao's temper is not very good, he is definitely a general who understands the general trend, at this time, he will not provoke the battle between the two sides without authorization, and this battle is arranged so precisely, it doesn't seem to be a sudden move, but a premeditated battle!" β
"Premeditated?"
Sun Quan's eyes were cold: "In other words, Cao Wei really wants to tear up the peace covenant we made now, provoke a war without authorization, and start a war between the two countries?" β
"Your Majesty, almost a year has passed since the peace covenant was made, and both we and Cao Wei have recovered a lot of strength, and this peace covenant between the two sides is not very strong now!" Ju Yi reminded.
"And the current situation, Cao Wei is more favorable than us, in the second half of last year, we in Dongwu let a flood catastrophe to pull all the energy, and even consumed all the war preparation materials, at this time the Wei army suddenly wanted to move, not surprising at all!"
Zhou Yu added.
"Does he want to strike first?"
Sun Quan's heart moved, and he smiled slightly bitterly: "It seems that I have underestimated him Cao Mengde, so how should we deal with it now!" β
"Your Majesty, at this time, Northern Xinjiang is the most dangerous!" Zhou Yu stood up and said: "In fact, our main forces are in the south, and the northern Xinjiang is relatively weak, and the Wei army can only move in the northern Xinjiang if it wants to make a difference!" β
"Northern Xinjiang?"
When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes were deep, and his fists were clenched a little: "Blood Wolf Legion, they should be the Blood Wolf Legion who wants to move me, right?" β
"It's not impossible!"
Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam: "If it were me, I would naturally hit the weakest place, with the strength of the Wei army in the north, if we moved, if we were unprepared, it was really possible to swallow the Blood Wolf Legion!" β
"I believe in Huang Zhong, and I also believe in Pang Tong!"
Sun Quan thought about it and said firmly.
"Your Majesty, we also believe in Commander Huang and Staff Officer Pang, but we can't underestimate the Wei army because of this, if they fight for a long time, then if they don't move, it will be a thunderbolt!"
Sun Ce, who was silent, was a little hoarse, but said in a voice.
"Gong Jin, when do you think Wei Jun will make a move?" Sun Quan's heart tightened and asked.
"The Wei army also needs time to prepare, and within three months, it should be able to take action, defeat the remnant blood wolf army, and seize the northern frontier of my Great Wu!"
"Deliver my military orders!"
Sun Quan gritted his teeth: "Let Zu Mao immediately withdraw his troops from Buyeo, the northern Xinjiang cannot be chaotic, and the Wild Lion Legion will dispatch the main force to enter Youzhou within three months!" β
"No!" A staff officer immediately went to deliver the decree.
"If they want to move, we won't be beaten!"
Sun Quan's gaze looked at He Qi, the commander of the Flame Legion, and asked, "He Qi, when will you be able to move Qingzhou?" β
"Your Majesty, now the Flame Legion is expected to complete its training at the end of March, prepare for battle in April, and attack in May!"
He Qi said: "First defeat the Cao Wei Navy in Laizhou Bay, and then take Qingzhou!" β
"Zhou Tai?" Sun Quan turned his head and looked at Zhou Tai.
"Your Majesty, I have already discussed with Commander He, I will personally lead the 27th Army to return to the East China Sea from the South China Sea, as the main force, and capture Laizhou Bay!" Zhou Tai replied.
The Battle of Qingzhou will be a focus of this year's campaign.
Therefore, whether it is He Qi or Zhou Tai, they are very concerned about this, and this battle will be the beginning of the decisive battle between the two countries.
"Ju Yi, Zhou Yu!"
Sun Quan looked at the two of them: "On behalf of the Military Aircraft Department, you personally presided over this battle, and the battle plan of the two major legions of Jiedu made this battle the opening of this year!" β
"No!"
The two nodded, glanced at each other, and a sharp battle intent burst out in their expressions one after another. (To be continued.) )
