June of the ninth year of the Ping (210). Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info full book drunken dew academy

When everything was ready, when Ma Yue was preparing to set off to march south, Pei Ding (Pei Yuanshao's eldest son) and Fu Hu (Fu Zhuzi) suddenly came to Luoyang to see the driver with heavy filial piety, Gu Yan Pingbei King Pei Yuanshao and Shuozhou Thorn Shi Fu Zhu died of illness within a month, Ma Yue heard the news and cried bitterly in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Jia Xu, Guan Ning, Fu, Fazhen and other old ministers also sighed.

Ma Yue then ordered Pei Ding to inherit the prince of Pingbei, and led three 10,000 households with Zhou Cang and Guan Qi to lead a total of 150,000 Mobei cavalry to the south of the Central Plains, and ordered the general Gao Shun to raise 150,000 soldiers in Guandong, Fang Yue, the general of Zhengxi, to raise 150,000 soldiers in Guanzhong, the general Xu Chu to raise 150,000 soldiers in Hebei, and Zhang Xiu, the general of Zhenxi, to go to Jiangling successively to join the 150,000 Jingzhou soldiers led by Xu Huang, the general of Zhengnan.

Ma Yue personally led 100,000 elite iron cavalry and joined forces with 150,000 Mobei iron cavalry to the south.

In September of the ninth year of Taiping, all the Liang troops gathered in Jiangling, counting more than 1 million horses, infantry, and sailors, known as 3 million people!

Ma Yue even sent Wu and Chu to hunt with Sun Quan and Cao Zhen, and when the news came out, Jing and Yang were shaken.

……

Jianye, Wu Palace.

"Your Majesty!" Situ Zhang Zhao knelt down under Dan after leaving the class, and wept bitterly and admonished, "Today, three million people in Beiliang are moving south, and the Wu and Chu coalition soldiers are only 300,000, so I am afraid they will not be able to resist!" If you want to resist stubbornly, you will undoubtedly be using the mantis arm as a car, why not descend early to save the people? If you insist on going your own way, you are afraid that the jade will be burned and the lives will be ruined. ”

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Hong, Bu, Yu Tuo and others also went out of class and knelt down on Dan, and tried their best to persuade Sun Quan to surrender to Beiliang.

"Your Excellency's words are wrong!" Sun Quan was furious in his heart, and when he was about to have a seizure, he suddenly saw Lu Meng, the governor of the navy, come out of the class to play. "There are still 50,000 sailors and soldiers in my Wu country, nearly 10,000 large and small warships, and 3 million people in Beiliang to the south. It came from afar.

It will be difficult to last, our army only needs to defend itself according to the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and if it is unable to fight for a long time, it will retreat by itself, how can it surrender without a fight? ”

The hussar general Tai Shici also came out of the class and shouted: "In addition to the 50,000 naval army, I also have 100,000 elite infantry soldiers in Dongwu, what does it mean to be powerless to resist?" ”

"Yes. Never surrender! ”

"Your Majesty, you can't surrender."

"The ministers swear not to surrender to the ......"

Tai Shici's voice fell, and the rest of the generals such as He Qi, Zu Lang, Quan Cong, Zhu Ran, and Lu also came out one after another, demanding a decisive battle with the Liang army.

Sun Quan's expression was uncertain, and he suddenly remembered Zhou Yu. If Zhou Yu, the governor of the three armies, is here, I'm afraid there will be no debate about this battle and surrender? Moreover, if you really want to unite Chu against the Liang army. Except for Zhou Yu, there is really no one who can command the three armies. Come to think of it. Sun Quan didn't hesitate any longer, and shouted loudly: "Where is Jin Wuwei? ”

Song Qian, the ruling Jinwu, hurriedly came out of the class and said: "The minister is here." ”

Sun Quan said: "Send someone to Chaisang immediately and summon the Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu to come." ”

"Obey."

Song Qian agreed and hurriedly took the order.

Only then did Sun Quan say to the ministers: "Whether it is a war or surrender, wait for the governor to return to the dynasty and then discuss and withdraw from the dynasty." ”

……

Hanshou. Chu Palace.

Compared with the civil and military divisions of the Wu State, the two factions of the main surrender and the main battle, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State seem to be much more united, in fact, since the southward migration. Under Zhuge Liang's successive defeats, the Jingxiang clan headed by Cai, Huang, and Wang Zhu has gradually faded out of the center of power. Now the power of the Chu State has been highly concentrated in the hands of Cao Zhen and Zhuge Liang.

The three million troops of the Liang army pressed the border, and the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State were unprecedentedly united.

Liang Taizu Ma Yue sent the envoy to pass the message, and Cao Zhen urgently summoned Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, the general Zhang Liao, the hussar general Zhang He, as well as Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Cheng, Jia Kui, Wang Cang, Liu and other civil and military ministers to discuss countermeasures. Drunken Dew Academy

"Your Majesty, although the Liang army claims to be three million, Ranchen thinks it is at most one million."

On the main hall of the Royal Palace. Zhuge Liang was talking. After nearly ten years of training, Zhuge Liang has become much more stable and mature at this time.

Cao Zhen said: "Why is the prime minister so sure? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "This can be concluded from the distribution of the strength of the large battalions in the Liang Kingdom, there are a total of seven garrison battalions in the Liang Kingdom under the rule of the horse butcher, among which the Luoyang battalion is stationed with the most elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, with a total strength of about 150,000. There are three cavalry units of 10,000 households in Mobei. The total strength is also about 150,000, in addition to Hebei, Guandong, Jingzhou, Guanzhong, Xichuan five Tuntian battalions. The strength of each Tuntian camp is also around 150,000, and in addition to the Xiangyang camp, there may be more than 100,000 sailors, that is to say, the total strength of Liangguo should be about 1.2 million. ”

General Zhang Liao said: "Even if there are only 1.2 million, its strength far exceeds that of our country!" ”

"yes." Hussar general Zhang He echoed, "Our army only has 60,000 infantry troops, 40,000 naval troops, and the total strength is only 100,000. ”

"The two generals don't have to worry at all." Zhuge Liang said confidently, "Although the Liang army has a large number of troops, most of them are cavalry and infantry, and its naval army is only about 100,000, and the combined strength of the Chu and Wu naval forces is also 90,000 people, as far as the naval army is concerned, the two sides are comparable in terms of military strength, not to mention that the Chu and Wu coalition armies also have excellent naval commanders such as Zhou Yu, Cai Mao, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun, and who else is there in Liangguo besides Ganning?" ”

"The horse butcher spread that he was going to hunt with Chu and Wu in Chibi, and the minister thought he was looking for death!" Wang also echoed, "The cavalry and infantry of the Liang army are certainly brave and good at fighting, but if this million army can't cross the Yangtze River, what difference is there between it and nothing?" Chen thought that the key to the Battle of Chibi was also the water war, which meant that the only enemy that the Wu and Chu coalition forces really needed to face was Gan Ning's 100,000 Jingzhou naval army! ”

"I see."

"I understand now."

After some analysis by Zhuge Liang and Wang Cang, Zhang Liao and Zhang He nodded suddenly, feeling like they were pulling out the clouds and seeing the sun.

In fact, Zhuge Liang and Wang Cangdi really pointed out the key to the Battle of Chibi.

The key to the battle of Chibi is water warfare! If the Wu and Chu armies could defeat the Jingzhou armies in the Battle of Chibi, then the Liang army's large-scale southern expedition would be

Failure ends in failure, and vice versa. If the Wu and Chu naval armies were finally lost by the Ganning naval army. Wu and Chu even had the same strength to ride and infantry, and the infantry army might not be able to stop the Liang army from riding south.

"Got it!" Cao Zhen took the case. Lang said, "The key to this battlefield is whether the Chu and Wu water armies can eliminate Gan Ning's 100,000 Jingzhou water troops. In order to achieve this strategic goal. I thought it was necessary to hand over the Chu land and water army to Zhou Yu, the governor of the three armies of Eastern Wu, to command it together, in order to work together to break the strong and cold. I wonder what you think? ”

Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "Your Majesty's mind is impressive. I thought I could. ”

Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Cheng, Jia Kui and others also echoed: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Cao Zhendi's decision seems to Meng Lang. In fact, it is extremely wise, if it is about commanding the army, no one in the world can be out of Zhou Yu's right, even Liang Taizu Ma Yue also thinks that he is slightly inferior to Zhou Yu, although Zhou Yu was defeated in the battle of Huainan. But it was not lost in the ability to command troops in other places, but in the weak strength of the Wu army, and Zhou Yu had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. There is really no power to return to the sky.

Therefore. Cao Zhen's decision to hand over the Chu State Naval Army to Zhou Yu for unified command was undoubtedly accurate. In this way, the Zuilu Academy successfully solved the problem of the ownership and coordination of the two countries' naval armies, although the Chu State naval army was in a subordinate position, Cao Zhen thought that this was not the point. The focus is on winning the Battle of Chibi. Foil the horse butcher's conspiracy to go south to Jing and Yangdi.

……

Gangneung, Ma Yue Big Tent.

Sima Yi pointed to the map and explained to Ma Yue and the ministers of civil and military affairs: "Your Majesty, your Excellency. Just paid off. Lü Meng, the governor of the Wu army, has already led 30,000 sailors. More than 5,000 warships, large and small, were stationed in Xiakou. Cai, the governor of the Chu army, also moved the naval army from Baling to Chibi, and now the Wu and Chu naval armies are stationed in Xiakou and Chibi. The momentum of each other's horns is confronting us across the river with the Wulin Port Navy Dazhai of our army.

"Hmm."

Ma Yue nodded, and paced back and forth in the big tent with a shy stomach, and nearly ten years of pampering had made him seriously out of shape. However, the embroidered yellow rolling dragon robe was draped on his increasingly bloated body, and there was really an indescribable majesty of the emperor. Paced back and forth in the tent for a few steps. Ma Yue suddenly paused and said loudly: "The Wu and Chu infantry are not worth mentioning. Only its water army is really a big trouble. ”

Say this. Ma Yue said in a condensed voice: "All Aiqing have told me, how should this battle of Chibi be fought?" ”

Ma Yue's voice fell, and Fa Zheng said: "Your Majesty, our army has an absolute superiority in strength. The minister thought that he must give full play to the huge advantage in military strength to restrain the actions of the Wu and Chu coalition forces. ”

Ma Yue said happily: "What about the specifics? ”

Fa Zheng strode to the map, stretched out his hand and said loudly along the Yangtze River: "You can spread the million cavalry army along the north bank of the Yangtze River from Jiangling to Wulindi, set up a total of ten camps, and set up pontoon bridges at ten points to prepare to cross the river!" In order to prevent our army from crossing the river, the Wu and Chu armies were bound to divide their troops to attack and harass. So. The strength of the Chibi, Xiakou, Dazhai, Wu, and Chu water armies will be weakened. ”

Ma Yue said: "Where did the ships come from to erect the pontoon bridge?" ”

Fa Zheng said: "There is no need for boats, there are large areas of pine and fir forests in this Jianghan area, and our army can completely use local materials to build pontoon bridges on rafts." ”

Ma Yue said: "What if the Wu and Chu water armies don't divide their troops? ”

Fa Zhengdao: "If the Wu and Chu armies do not divide their troops and let our army erect pontoon bridges, then the battle of Chibi will soon be over!" ”

"Oh?" Ma Yue said happily. "What do you mean by that?"

Fa Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, please think." If the Wu and Chu armies do not attack and disturb, our army can completely erect a sufficiently solid pontoon bridge on the Yangtze River. Then on both sides of the pontoon bridge twisted the barrage iron cable to protect the pontoon, and finally on the pontoon bridge to erect a trebuchet improved by His Majesty personally, really at that time, even if the Wu and Chu water armies poured out, I am afraid that it will have to end up with no return, this battle will not be won by our army? ”

Ma Yue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "Yes, with this indestructible pontoon bridge, the Yangtze River moat will become a thoroughfare." ”

Chen Qun said: "But has Xiaozhi ever thought about whether the trebuchet is extremely heavy, and the pontoon bridge hanging on the river is enough to support the weight of the trebuchet?" Even if it can barely support it, I'm afraid that I can't install too many trebuchets, and which fruit only places a few trebuchets in Liao Liao, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to pose too much threat to the Wu and Chu water armies. ”

Fa Zheng said: "I have already thought about this, although the raft alone is not enough to support too many trebuchets, but we can fix the hollow sealed wooden box under the pontoon!" If there are a large number of hollow ground wooden boxes tied under the pontoon bridge to increase buoyancy, even if hundreds of trebuchets are erected on the pontoon, it is not a problem. What do you think of the long article? ”

Chen Qun nodded and said, "So that's the case, then there's no problem." ”

Ma Yue looked around at the crowd: "Do you have any better suggestions?" ”

"The minister also has an idea." Kuai Yue said. "Why didn't Your Majesty give the order to anchor a chain of warships? The massive chain of warships will not only provide a better launching platform for His Majesty's improved trebuchet. can also wade through the water like flat ground, and the million-strong army of Liangguo Land can drive up the river to fight with the Wu and Chu water armies. And so it goes. With Wu and Chu's hundreds of thousands of sailors, they are simply vulnerable! ”

"Serial boats?"

Ma Yue's heart jumped when he heard this, and the battle of Chibi in the middle of the official history suddenly floated in his mind. If it weren't for Kuai Yue's consistent loyalty to the Liang Dynasty. Ma Yue almost suspected that he was ordered to lurk in the Liang army, and he was super spy. However, this thought flashed in Ma Yue's mind, and he asked in a deep voice: "Although the serial warship waded like flat ground, it was most afraid of fire attacks. ”

"It doesn't matter." Kuai Yue replied confidently, "It's winter, and the wind blows from the northwest in winter.

Our army attacked from the north to the south, just with a tailwind, and if the combined forces of Wu and Chu were to attack with fire, wouldn't it just burn themselves? ”

Ma Yue frowned and said, "What if the southeast wind blows at that time?" ”

"This ......," Kuai Yue said in amazement. How does a southeast wind blow in winter? ”

"There are no absolutes." Ma Yuedao. "And I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if."

Kuai Yue hurriedly said: "The minister has misconsidered, please forgive your majesty." ”

"Nope." On the side, Jia Xu suddenly showed a cunning look in his eyes and jumped to the horse. "Your Majesty. If our army has been prepared

When the southeast wind blows, the combined forces of Wu and Chu are afraid of easy if they want to carry out a fire attack. I think it's worth trying to suggest a different way, but just in case. The minister thought that he could let the 200,000-strong army take a series of warships. Cooperate with General Gan Ning's land and water army to launch an attack on the Wu and Chu coalition forces. ”

"Oh." Ma Yue said happily, "Wen He said that he only built a serial warship loaded with 200,000 troops?" ”

"Yes." Jia Xu nodded. "In this way, even if it fails, it will only lose 200,000 troops, which is not enough to affect the entire battle situation."

Ma Yue said: "However, how to guard against fire attacks? ”

Jia Xu said: "The combined forces of Wu and Chu want to attack with fire. There are no more than two ways. ”

Ma Yue said: "Which two?" ”

Jia Xu said: "One and two armies are connected. Use the archers to drop rockets, but that's it. That is, the two armies are fighting head-on, and the number of archers of the Wu and Chu coalition armies is far inferior to our army, and when the time comes, the Wu and Chu coalition armies will not be able to burn our warships. I was afraid that our army would burn the warship in turn, so they sent ships loaded with fire-starting objects to secretly approach our fleet. Then suddenly there was a fire attack, and there was no other way to do it. ”

Ma Yue recalled that in the official history, the reason why Zhou Yu was able to burn Cao Cao's 830,000 army was in one fell swoop. It's not because of the trick of Huang Gaidi. It was a big deal to let the stern rush into the fleet of large ships full of fire-burning things? If Cao Cao hadn't been tricked and hadn't rashly led a large number of warships out of the village to meet Huang Gai, maybe history would have been rewritten.

Thinking of this, Ma Yue's heart couldn't help but move, and asked Jia Xu: "That is to say, as long as you don't let suspicious ships approach." If the combined forces of Wu and Chu want to carry out a fire attack, they can only launch an attack from the front? ”

Jia Xu said: "Exactly. ”

"Haha. Well, that's good advice. Ma Yue said happily, "Do you have any other suggestions?" ”

There was silence in the tent, and when Ma Yue was feeling disappointed, Lu Su suddenly came out and said, "Your Majesty." The minister couldn't think of a good way. But I also thought of a stupid solution. ”

Ma Yue hurriedly said: "Zi Jing said quickly." ”

Lu Su said: "The Yangtze River is wide, and there are more than 500 steps from the narrowest point below Xiling Gorge. However, it is not deep, especially the widest part of the river, its depth is less than two zhang, since our army can lay a wooden stake in the water of Wulin Harbor nearly four zhang deep and then build a water village on the water, then why can't we build a water village directly on the river surface? ”

Ma Yue was stunned when he heard this, and said in amazement: "Build a water village directly on the river? Why is that? ”

Lu Su said: "The water village has a walled wall and an arrow tower, which can resist the attack of the Wu and Chu water armies, Your Majesty, please think, if our army can build a large enough water village on the river, extending from the north bank of the Yangtze River to the south bank of the Yangtze River, the rivers and mountains can flow freely, but the ships are impassable, so that the entire Yangtze River channel will not be cut into two sections?" ”

"This ......"

Ma Yue's heart jumped, and a strange picture suddenly appeared in front of him.

The wide Yangtze River has become a huge workshop, several soldiers are climbing on the wooden frame that sticks out of the ship's side, and are swinging a huge wooden hammer to smash a piece of wood into the middle of the river, not far away, there are rows of wooden piles, many small boats are shuttling to transport timber, craftsmen are busy erecting beams to the wooden stakes, and then behind them are standing to build a good wall.

In front of the wall, there are sharp antlers, sharp horns forward, ready to pierce the side of the warship trying to approach, behind the wall, there are towers of arrows, and the archers are vigilantly guarding the towers, ready to resist attacks from the water, and in the center of the wall, on several larger towers, there are several huge trebuchets, like a dormant beast, waiting for the prey to be sent to the door.

Lu Su said: "Although this method is stupid, the time it will take may be as long as several years, but the advantage is that our army can advance step by step, and the Wu and Chu water armies can't stop it even if they want to." ”

Lu Su was not wrong, this place is indeed a stupid method, but it is so stupid that there is no way to crack it.

If the Wu and Chu naval armies forcibly launched an attack, due to the lack of cooperation from the land infantry, the result would be equivalent to using the naval army to attack the water village of the Liang army, which had a perfect defense system, and even if they made some gains, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

In the end, the Liang army's water village promotion strategy will evolve into a protracted water offensive and defensive war, the Liang army will lose cheap infantry and inexhaustible timber, and the Wu and Chu coalition will lose elite naval officers and limited naval warships, the Liang army has millions of infantry, while the Wu and Liang water armies only have more than 100,000 people, so in the end, the first thing that can't hold on must be the Wu and Chu coalition army and not the Liang army!

"Your Majesty, this is a good solution!" Jia Xu sighed, "I think it's worth trying." ”

"Good!" Ma Yue said happily, "Lu Su and Xu Huang listen to the order!" ”

Xu Huang and Lu Su hurriedly stepped forward and replied loudly: "The minister is here." ”

Ma Yue said: "Xu Huang can lead the 150,000 Jingzhou soldiers of the headquarters to listen to Lord Lu Su's dispatch, and choose a place to build a super water army village that runs through the north and south banks!" ”

"Obey."

Xu Huang and Lu Su waved their hands and took the order.

Ma Yue said again: "Fazheng, Fang Yue, and Zhang Xiu listen to orders. ”

Fa Zheng, Fang Yue, and Zhang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "The minister is here." ”

Ma Yue said: "Lead 300,000 troops, camp in three places, and build pontoon bridges on the spot to attract Wu and Chu water armies to attack." ”

"Obey."

The three of Fa Zheng also took the order and left.

Ma Yue said again: "Kuai Yue and Gao Shun listen to orders." ”

Kuai Yue and Gao Shun hurriedly responded: "The minister is here." ”

Ma Yue said: "In the Wulin Port Navy Dazhai to dock the chain warship, after the chain of war ships is built, you can lead 200,000 archers to board the ship to attack, assist the Ganning Navy to attack Chibi from the front, and strive to annihilate the main force of the Wu and Chu water armies in one fell swoop." ”

"Obey."

Kuai Yue and Gao Shun also took the order and left.

After all the generals took their orders and left, Ma Yue looked up to the sky proudly and laughed three times, and looked around at everyone: "I have three arrows at the same time, but I want to see how Cao Zhen and Sun Quan Xiao'er can parry?" Hahaha......" (full book)
