Chapter 53: The Closing Stage

Sun Quan seems to have developed a bad habit of writing to him from other princes, but he never replied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info// update fast // aigwenig

Cao Pi's letter to him sank into the sea.

But Sun Quan was in a hurry, and he came to Chaisang again, which is the junction of Jiangxia and Jiangdong.

Jiangxia was still nominally Guo Jia's, and Guo Jia lent it to Jiangdong, although in reality Sun Quan was able to exercise free will in Jiangxia County.

Sun Quan came to Chaisang this time and brought a gentle young man: Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was young and precocious, and he supported the family when he was a teenager, and the reason for this is related to the Sun family, and the Lu family and the Sun family can be called a blood feud, but the Lu family wants to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, and obviously cannot stand on the opposite side of the Sun family.

The well-read and brilliant Lu Xun entered Sun Quan's shogunate as soon as he became an adult and became one of Sun Quan's many aides.

The little-known one after another is just a scholar in the eyes of outsiders, but his talent, Sun Quan is well aware, as the situation becomes more treacherous and urgent, Sun Quan needs to give advice more people, Zhou Yu Zhenjiangxia, Sun Quan can not only listen to Lu Su's advice, the so-called brainstorming, Sun Quan hopes to listen to different voices, so as to choose the best from them.

The Taiping army was in Xiangfan, Sun Quan couldn't sit still, he took Lu Xun and Lu Su to Chaisang, Zhou Yu returned to Chaisang from the starry night of Xiakou, and the ministers had a secret discussion.

There was a letter from Cao Pi on the low table, Sun Quan paced back and forth, and Lu Su, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun in the hall were silent.

In this situation, it is difficult for Sun Quan to give Cao Pi a reply.

Did you promise Cao Pi to suddenly use a cold arrow behind Guo Jia's back?

But Xiangfan's battle report came that the two armies clashed, and the battle was fought, but the damage was not great, how could Sun Quan provoke Guo Jia at this time? In case Guo Jia turned around and hit Jiangdong, Cao Wei instead sat on the wall, then Jiangdong would not have time to cry.

did not agree to Cao Pi's proposal, but blocked the way to unite with Cao Wei.

Guo Jia is now strong, Jiangdong and Cao Wei are weak, Sun Quan knows that he is nominally an ally with Guo Jia, and everyone is safe, but the ally he should unite is actually Cao Pi, but if he wants to betray the alliance with Guo Jia, he must be in an opportunity to ensure that Jiangdong is safe and sound and can bring benefits to Jiangdong.

Stopping, Sun Quan turned his head to look at the three people in the hall, and asked in a deep voice: "Gong Jin, in the current situation, do you think I should send troops in Jiangdong?" ”

Jiangdong sent troops, and it was impossible to help Guo Jia, either to help Cao Pi or for himself.

Zhou Yu clenched his fists and replied in a deep voice: "Please give the main bus to the last general 50,000 elite soldiers, within a month, the last general will ensure that Jingnan is leveled, and then wait and watch the battle situation of Taixiangfan, Gan Ning led an army of 100,000, Cao Ren defended an army of 70,000, the two armies fought against each other, Gan Ning won a tragic victory, Cao Rensheng, then he will take Nanjun for the lord again." ”

Guo Jia had an unforgettable conversation with Zhou Yu when he went to Jianye to get married, and Zhou Yu knew very well in his heart that Guo Jia's heart would not die, so Guo Jia could not be given any chance.

Now, the Taiping army attacked Xiangfan in the north, and Jiangdong took the opportunity to sweep Changsha Lingling, Wuling and other counties, and then waited for the battle situation in Xiangfan to come to an end, either turning his face with Guo Jia, or joining forces with Cao Wei to attack the Taiping army in Jingzhou after the war.

Anyway, it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the snipe and the clam fight, and Jiangdong comes to be a fisherman.

As soon as Zhou Yu's voice fell, Lu Su immediately objected.

"My lord, Jiangdong has a covenant with Guo Yuanjun, and if he betrays his promise, the world will despise it. Guo envoy Jun attacked Cao Wei, it is justified, if I, Jiangdong, are hindering behind my back at this moment, wouldn't it be a disguised aid to abuse? ”

Sun Quan is in a dilemma, as a monarch, he wants both a good name and ambition to take revenge, but how can there be such a good thing in the world?

It is Sun Quan's bottom line not to let the Taiping army capture Fancheng, and once Fancheng, Cao Wei's defense line, is broken, everything will be over.

But at what point did the army break the contract?

"Bo Yan, what do you think about this matter?"

Sun Quan set his eyes on Lu Xun, who was speechless.

Lu Xun's eyes drooped slightly, and he arched his hand and said softly: "The Metropolitan Governor intends to attack Jingnan, this method is feasible, but the lord must first determine the alliance relationship with Cao Wei, and secondly, after the battle of Fancheng comes to an end, at least let the Taiping army consume grain and grass in the battle of Fancheng, and wait for the Taiping army to be tired." ”

Lu Su wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed lightly.

He does not agree with Cao, the biggest reason is that Jiangdong cannot occupy the active position, unite with Guo Jia, Jiangdong is passive, and now to unite with Cao Wei, Jiangdong is still passive, and will be despised by the people of the world, not only betraying the alliance with Guo Jia, but even more hateful is that he turned enemies into friends with the public enemies of the world.

But what will happen to Xiangfan's war, Lu Su does not dare to pack tickets, at this time obviously can not be pedantic, if the Taiping army fights down, the momentum is like a rainbow sweeping Xiangfan, then Jiangdong will even lose the only opportunity.

Sun Quan paced up again, his mind turned sharply, to break the Taiping army, Cao Wei alone could not resist it, Jiangdong did not have the strength to confront it head-on, only the two joint pincer Taiping army had a high chance of victory.

Therefore, it is not impossible for Zhou Yu to attack Jingnan, but if Cao Wei is a bystander, Jiangdong's situation will be precarious, and Lu Xun's words to ensure the relationship with Cao Wei are here.

If you want to fight, you will fight to the end and wipe out the Taiping army in Jingzhou!

Sun Quan finally adopted the advice of Lu Xun and Zhou Yu, secretly transferred the Jiangdong Army to Jiangxia, waited and watched the battle in Xiangfan for the time being, and once the battle situation changed, he would enter the battlefield.

After besieging Xiangfan for a month, Gan Ning led the Taiping army to besiege the city on three sides of Fancheng, and attacked the city from a distance every three to five to start a war of attrition with Cao Ren, while Cao Ren retreated in the city and did not know the movements of the Taiping army outside the city.

In the Taiping military camp outside the city, Gan Ning counted the days, and Cao Wei's reinforcements should be coming soon.

Calling Dianman to him, Gan Ning asked, "How are things going?" ”

Dianman replied in a deep voice: "Everything is ready. ”

Gan Ning nodded and waved his hand, let Dian Man retreat, and strode out wearing armor, and Gan Ning once again led the army to the outside of Fancheng.

"Cao Zixiao, you shrunken turtle. Since you're going to shrink back for the rest of your life, then I'll do what you want! ”

Gan Ning's clamor made Cao Ren at the head of the city angry, but he was helpless, and his response would only boost the arrogance of the enemy army.

Full of flattery looked at the movements of the Taiping army outside the city in disbelief.

In the past, the main generals of the Taiping army, either Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Meng Da, etc., would attack the city after calling for a battle.

But today, Ganning did not give the order to attack the city.

The besieging Taiping army walked out of a circle of soldiers, protected by archers and crossbowmen behind them, and then, Man Zhong and Cao Ren watched in disbelief as the Taiping soldiers moved.

What are they doing?

Building a wall!

Build another wall outside of Fancheng?!

Cao Ren and Man Chong looked at each other, they had fought a lot of siege battles, and Cao Cao had a lot of means after besieging the city, but the Taiping army's move to build a wall was really incredible.

What is this wall for?

Isolate Fancheng from the outside world?

But Fancheng's food support is no problem for a year, is it possible that the Taiping Army and Fancheng have been facing each other across a wall for more than a year?

If it was to shoot from the high ground and facilitate the siege, this wall was too far away from Fancheng to be effective.

Cao Ren and Man Chong were completely confused.

There was military information from the east and west, and the side presided over by Zhou Tai and Meng Da first built two tuns, and then built a wall on the periphery in the same way as Gan Ning's side!

Fancheng, only the north side is left unattended.

Yizhou Chengdu

In the new year, Guo Jia is a lot easier, and political affairs are generally handed over to Guo Ye to deal with, and he only comes forward to make decisions when he makes major decisions.

In the idle courtyard of the mansion, Guo Jia and Jia Xu sat and played chess.

"The lord's game of chess has reached a critical moment, but it seems that the lord has not paid attention to it at all."

Jia Xu made a pun, and Guo Jia raised his head and chuckled when he heard it.

"The more this time, the more calm you are, Wen He, will."

After Guo Jia made a move, he looked at Jia Xu with a smile.

And Jia Xu shook his head and admitted defeat and asked Guo Jia rhetorically.

"Lord, aren't you really worried about Ye Gongzi?"

Guo Jia looked at the bright flowers and plants in the courtyard, and muttered slightly: "It should be the last test for him." ”

Cleaning up the cranky thoughts in his heart, Guo Jia got up and came to the side, Jia Xu stood side by side with him, and said lightly: "The bureau in the northwest should be closed." ”

Guo Jia nodded silently.

Liangzhou Jincheng

Ma Chao, who commanded the iron cavalry of the Taiping Army, had a banquet in the house, and the person invited was Liangzhou Don't Drive Mi Fang.

After more than a year and a half of Liangzhou don't drive, Mi Fang is enjoying the glorious life brought by the position of power, once upon a time in Shu County, he was just a small county official, standing in front of anyone had to tremble and respect, after coming to Liangzhou, that is, a Ma Chao can give him a little look, and everyone else will be respectful to him in turn.

Today, Ma Chao suddenly invited Mi Fang to a banquet, which made Mi Fang flattered.

He and Ma Chao do not have a deep intersection, they have worked together for more than a year, most of the time the well water does not interfere with the river water, Ma Chao manages his army, Mi Fang devotes himself to government affairs, and the two are safe.

The wine and delicacies in the hall came into view, and Mi Fang was surprised, and greeted Ma Chao again and again.

"Don't drive adults, they are all your own people, you don't have to be polite, please take a seat."

Ma Chao dissipated his arrogance for the first time, and his attitude towards Mi Fang changed from domineering to approachable.

Mi Fang was overjoyed, thinking that this puppet had opened his mind, so he sat down with a smile.

Ma Chao raised his glass and toasted him first, which made Mi Fang even more happy.

In the past, Ma Chao was like a young man with a newborn calf, acting recklessly, which made Mi Fang very disgusted, and he also expected in his heart that a person with high power like Ma Chao but no city government would definitely die without a place to be buried.

And today's transformation of Ma Chao made Mi Fang begin to feel that Ma Chao has matured.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, staggering, Ma Chao praised Mi Fang's political achievements in official affairs, and Mi Fang also praised Ma Chao's bravery on the battlefield.

The two hooked shoulders and toasted frequently, as if they were old friends who had been friends for decades.

Eating, drinking, talking and laughing, Mi Fang was already drowsy, Ma Chao suddenly got up and walked to a wall in the hall, where a long sword was hanging.

"Don't drive an adult, there is a reluctant request, I want to borrow something from another driver."

Mi Fang, who was lying on the wine table with her tongue beginning to knot, smiled drunkenly: "What? The general said that it was okay, and if the subordinate officials had it, they would definitely send it away. ”

Slowly taking down the long sword hanging on the wall, Ma Chao's ruddy face was cold in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised a smirk.

"Your Excellency's head."

When Mi Fang heard this, she raised her head in a daze, the cold light flashed in front of her eyes, and blood was sprinkled all over the hall. #
