Chapter 280 Jiangnan Chapter (2) Dongwu Chapter 6

Chapter 280 Fortune and power plotting the holy oracle to stop the war, and develop a grand plan to advance by retreating

As mentioned in the above book, Shi Xie was shocked when he learned that Zhou Yu's army had set out from Sorghum and was approaching Jiaozhi.

However, Shi Yi was very calm on the side, pressed the sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Brother, don't panic, there is a brother waiting here, I'm afraid that he Zhou Yu won't succeed?" ”

When Shi Xie heard this, he thought in his heart, there are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his city, and there are still more than 30,000 soldiers and horses brought back by Shi Yi this time, which is more than 60,000 in total.

"What the second brother said is very true! Go down and prepare. Shi Xie commanded.

"No!" Shi Yi took the order and left.

Shiwen didn't move, watched Shiyi leave, leaned over and said to Shixie: "Brother, my brother doesn't know if to say something!?" ”

Faced with the situation of life and death, Shi Xie said impatiently: "At this time, what else can't be said?" Say whatever you want! ”

"The elder brother was called king at that time, and the foolish brother thought it was not right. Now it seems that it has indeed fallen into the tongue of others! For today's plan, send someone to the imperial capital to meet the Son of Heaven as soon as possible! Shiwen said.

"The imperial capital is thousands of miles away from here, so is it too late to send someone there?" Shixie shook his head.

They didn't know that Emperor Zhangwu, who was thousands of miles away, was always paying attention to the situation here.

Since Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses entered Shixing, Liu Bei sent a messenger to pass the message to Liu Biao.

Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the monarch.

He won't let his subordinates make it big. What's more, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu only surrendered himself on the surface! This is a knife behind his back, more insidious and vicious than Cao Cao's obvious work with him!

It's not as reassuring as Liu Biao, a distant relative of his own!

Zhuge Liang compared this period to the time of the Warring States Period, and analyzed the situation in the world to Liu Bei.

Since Emperor Xian's accession to the throne, most of the royal families in the world have been hidden, and there are only three families in Xichuan Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son, Jingzhou Liu Biao, and the lord Liu Bei.

Emperor Xian died, and Emperor Zhang Wu ascended the throne. That is, after Liu Bei ascended the throne, everyone in the world regarded Cao Cao and Xichuan as doing. And Cao Cao supported the young emperor, although his identity was false, it was enough to deceive those foolish and loyal Confucian students; What's more, now Xichuan Liu Zhang's attitude is very ambiguous, although Emperor Zhang Wu is unjust.

Therefore, the princes of the world have supported their own troops, and it has become the trend of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States.

The person who opened it from the beginning was not Cao Cao and Liu Zhang, but Shixie, who was far away. So Shi Xie became Liu Bei's first target.

It's just to fight Shixie, but there is a gap between Soochow and Jingzhou.

coincided with the submission of the surrender letter by Dongwu, and Liu Bei did a favor and asked Dongwu and Jingzhou to join forces to destroy Jiaozhou.

How do you know that Dongwu only saw the wind blowing but couldn't see the grass moving, and made a false move in Jiaozhou.

What's even more angry is that Jingzhou also turned around and went back.

Originally, Emperor Zhang Wu was very angry. However, Zuo Yu Shi Zhuge Liang's words made this wise son of heaven suddenly disperse.

This is the role of Zhuge Liang.

In this era, a good strategist is far more important than a fierce general who can fight well.

However, Liu Bei has this group of strategists that everyone else is jealous of. What's more, there is no estrangement or suspicion between these strategists. Otherwise, he will follow in Yuan Benchu's footsteps!

Zhuge Liang said something like this at the moment:

Your Majesty, how many princes are still dissatisfied with the king's transformation today? There are Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Yuan Tan in the north, Cao Cao, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang in the west, and Sun Quan and Shixie in the south. Only Jingzhou Jingsheng is a minister to His Majesty! Although our army is strong, it is difficult to deal with the princes of the world at the same time, and the princes of the world are enough to resist the heavenly master, and if they do not agree, Your Majesty will be unified.

However, now that Your Majesty has newly ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the interests of the princes of the world will inevitably not allow Your Majesty to easily seek one side or the other.

Therefore, His Majesty should send an order to the three armies to unload their armor and return to the field, and to train their troops in Tuntian, so as to wait for the time.

Today, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu has a glimpse of the sky and sends Zhou Gongjin to surrender the table, is it just to show weakness to His Majesty? He also wants to seek the benefit of the world in the name of His Majesty! Don't look at him and don't move, but he didn't know that at this time, Zhou Gongjin had sent Cheng Demou to lead 20,000 elites across the sea to Qiongya. Zhou Gongjin pacified Jiaozhou, but it was only three or five months.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Emperor Zhang Wu asked, "In this way, wouldn't it be cheaper for Sun Quan of Eastern Wu?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Now that our army is inconvenient to go on the expedition, it is natural to give them some benefits!" It's just that these benefits can't be given to Sun Quan alone! ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Liu Bei asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty should quickly send someone to inform the King of Jiangling that once Zhou Gongjin breaks through Shixing, he will quickly send troops to seize Jiuzhen and Cangwu counties. Then send an envoy to Jiaozhi, and issue an edict to Zhou Yu to escort all the rebellions of Shixie into Beijing! Zhuge Liang said.

"What if Zhou Yu doesn't respect the holy decree?" Liu Bei asked worriedly.

Pang Tong came out of the class on the side and said, "Your Majesty rest assured. That Zhou Yu didn't dare! Not to mention that he is afraid of the strong strength of our army, the benefits of the five counties of Jiaozhou alone are enough for him to agree! ”

……

In this way, these things that they had arranged early began on the second day after Zhou Yu broke through Shixing.

By the time Zhou Yu knew, Liu Bei's envoy had arrived!

The time when it arrived was so inch, it was so much that Zhou Yu couldn't cry or laugh!

It took half a month for Zhou Yu to completely empty the surroundings of Jiaozhi City and complete the encirclement of Jiaozhi City.

Shi Yi saw Zhou Yu's intentions, and actually sent troops out of the city to attack Cheng Pu's camp, broke Cheng Pu's encirclement, and successfully helped Wu Ju escape.

Knowing that Wu Ju went out to move the rescue troops, Zhou Yu sent Zhou Tai to lead people to chase and kill Wu Ju on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to start a strong attack on Jiaozhi City.

After losing more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, Zhou Yu broke through the gate of Jiaozhi City.

At this time, Zhou Tai, who was chasing and killing Wu Ju, came back to reply: "Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, Shixie has no rescuers to come!" ”

"What's going on?" When Zhou Yu heard this, he was shocked.

Zhou Tai lowered his head and said, "Wu Ju fled into Jiuzhen City. Just ......"

"Just what?" Zhou Yu stared at Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that the defenders on Jiuzhen City are all Jingzhou troops!" The commander of the Jingzhou Army is Liu Qi, the eldest son of the generals Wen Ping and Liu Biao! ”

"What?" Zhou Yu was furious when he heard this, and with a loud "ah", he turned his back and fell off the horse.

Seeing this, Cheng Pu hurriedly sent someone to help him up and send him back to the camp.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was unconscious, Cheng Pu temporarily took over the command of the battlefield.

Zhou Tai and the others asked, "Dudu, the enemy is only left in the inner city." Now that the Metropolitan is injured, should we continue to attack the inner city? ”

"Hit!" Cheng Pu knew that the morale of the soldiers was high now, and he had to take the inner city in one go.

Zhou Tai and other soldiers received the order and launched a frantic attack on the inner city.

Seeing that the general trend has gone, Shi Xie understands very well that stubborn resistance will only make his family disappear in history.

At the moment when Soochow broke through the gate of the inner city, he led everyone to hold a white flag and came out to surrender.

Cheng Pu accepted everyone's surrender instead of Zhou Yu, and left the generals to clean up the battlefield and put up a list to calm the people.

Arrange everything, Cheng Pu came to see Zhou Yu.

At this time, Zhou Yu had just sobered up, and when he saw Cheng Pu, he said angrily: "I didn't expect that I waited for a hard fight, but I cheapened that Liu Biao from Jingzhou in vain!" ”

Cheng Pu persuaded: "Gongjin don't be impatient, both of us have received the holy order to attack Jiaozhou." They took advantage of the fire to rob, and although they were despicable, they also stood a little reasonable. Since we have eaten the meat, give them a mouthful of soup, let's give them a bite! ”

"But there's too much soup!" Zhou Yu was very unwilling, but there was no way, he suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "What was the result of the battle?" ”

"It's over, Shi Xie is very sensible, and seeing that the general trend has gone, he surrendered with his troops!" Cheng Pu replied.

As soon as Zhou Yu was about to speak, he heard someone shouting outside: "The holy decree has arrived, please ask Zhou Yu, the minister of state under the command of King Wu, and Cheng Pu, the commander of the capital, to receive the decree." This official position was reported to the imperial court when Sun Quan was crowned King of Wu.

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Pu, didn't speak, and struggled to get up.

Cheng Pu hurriedly helped him up and greeted him out.

The person who came to deliver the decree was not a eunuch, but Jian Yong, a doctor in the court, Liu Bei's early strategist, and a veteran of Liu Bei's court.

He saw Cheng Pu supporting Zhou Yu, and asked with a surprised face: "Gong Jin is in poor health, it's not the right time for Yong to come!" Look at this time! ”

Zhou Yu motioned for Cheng Pu to let go of himself, stood upright, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay if you suffer from some wind and cold." I don't know where the oracle is? ”

"Okay, I'll read the decree first, and then it's not too late for us to chat!" As he spoke, Jian Yong took out the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said: Zhou Yu, the minister of state under the command of King Sun Quan of Wu, and Cheng Pu, the commander of the capital, were ordered to crusade against the rebellious Shixie, and Zhou Yu was specially named as the Taishou of Jiaozhi and stationed in Jiaozhi; Cheng Pu was sealed as the Taishou of Hainan and stationed in Hainan.

Shi Xie and other rebellious people were resentful of the country and their crimes were extremely heinous, and Zhou Yu was ordered to send people to Kyoto from now on, and there must be no mistakes. Chin this! ”

"Ahh Zhou Yu listened, only to feel a heat in his chest, another mouthful of blood went straight to his throat, his eyes were black, if it wasn't for Jian Yong in front, I was afraid that he would vomit blood again.

After a while, he finally suppressed the mouthful of blood, and then knelt down and bowed: "The minister accepts the order!" Then he straightened up and took the decree with both hands outstretched.

Jian Yong saw it in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and said secretly: Lord Zuo Yushi is like a god! This Zhou Yu is really angry!

He still had a smile on his face, and pretended to be concerned and said: "Gong Jin is in poor health, Yong is too disturbed!" Tomorrow, Gongjin will make proper arrangements, and Yong and the team will return to Beijing! After speaking, under the leadership of the people, he walked out.

As soon as Jian Yong went out, Zhou Yu couldn't hold back any longer, and finally spit out the bruise with a "wow".

"Governor!" The generals hurried over and held him up.

He shook his head, sighed and said, "After all, he was calculated by Zhuge Liang!" ”

He knows very well that the current situation, if not handled properly, will inevitably cause huge losses to Soochow!
