Chapter 602: Koto's Future
"Big brother, it's foggy now, let's do it."
This force is very large, but there are no building ships, let alone large fighting ships, almost all of them are composed of small clippers, and even assault ships, if you encounter the building ship army, you can only escape.
It was Wei Wen's fleet, the majority of the Sichuan Navy Commander, who ordered Gan Ning, Su Fei and other Navy generals to be deliberately discovered by the Jiangdong Navy and pretended that the blockade had failed, and fought head-on with the Jiangdong Navy Army, and he led 40,000 Navy troops to smuggle across the Yangtze River to Jianye.
Wei Wen ordered several purposes, the first Jiangdong Navy inadvertently discovered the intention of the Sichuan Army, which was to block the Yangtze River and block Zhou Yu's supply road, so Lü Meng would definitely block it with all his strength and dare not attack the Sichuan Army without authorization.
In this way, the Jiangdong Navy is on the defensive in a conservative position, and it cannot be found that the number of the Sichuan Army and the Navy has become smaller, and the number of the Sichuan Army and the Navy that are now fighting with Lü Meng is the same as that of the Jiangdong Navy Army, which is 60,000 people, but because the large ships such as the buildings and ships of the Sichuan Army and the Navy are all there.
If Lü Meng did not lead the army to attack the Sichuan army, it was impossible to find that the Sichuan army had become smaller, but in the case that the Jiangdong Navy focused on dredging the Yangtze River and defending the Sichuan army, it was impossible to attack.
Now the people in Jiangdong are paying attention to Jingzhou, and it is natural that in order to meet the all-out attack of the Jiangdong army, the attention of the Sichuan army should also be in Jingzhou.
However, Lu Su, Fa Zheng, and Zhou Yu's analysis of Wei Wen's temperament is very in place and accurate.
Wei Wen was born as a pirate, and he has been a water thief for several years, and he has subdued hundreds of water bandits from Yun Mengze. It's not just the strength of the water thieves under his command. It's even more by the eye. As long as you find the enemy's Achilles' heel, you will immediately attack like a snake seven inches.
It is true that Lu Su Fazheng and Zhou Yu are good at sneak attacks, but Fa Zheng hopes that the Sichuan army will react quickly, block the Yangtze River, and block Zhou Yu.
Lu Su and Zhou Yu thought that Lu Meng could not leave any flaws for Wei Wen, and Zhou Yu also had confidence in Lu Meng. Although I don't know what the situation of Lu Meng and Wei Wen will be in a head-on battle, but Lu Meng can arrange a naval army and be killed by Wei Wen with one blow, it can only be said that Lu Meng has not grown at all over the years.
Then many people underestimated Wei Wen's vision, Wei Wen did not find the shortcomings of Lu Meng's arrangement, but he saw Jiangdong's certainty.
Where is Koto? Six counties and eighty-one counties, the population is not as large as Jingzhou, armed with 60,000 sailors, 60,000 infantry troops is already the limit, and the lord Liu Zhang is also able to deal with Jiangdong's all-out attack. Soldiers and horses set up in Jingzhou.
Now that all the troops have been sent, what is left in Jiangdong?
Lü Meng's 60,000 sailors had to deal with the 100,000 sailors of the Sichuan army. Combat conservatively, although it is impossible to defeat in a short time, but we must also deal with it with all our might, you must know that the Sichuan Army and the Navy were born from the Jingzhou Army, the first water army in the world, and the combat power is definitely not under the Jiangdong Army, how can he Lu Meng dare to support it?
Lü Meng's attention must only be on the "100,000" Sichuan army and navy in front of him, so that the Yangtze River barrier in Jiangdong is wide open to the Sichuan army and navy, and Jiangdong itself has no troops to defend at all.
Wei Wen didn't have to look for the flaws of the Lü Meng Navy at all, but found the flaws in Jiangdong, according to Fazheng's strategy, the Sichuan army could indeed defeat the Jiangdong army, but at most the Jiangdong army suffered heavy losses, and it was impossible to break the bones.
As a pirate, Wei Wen is accustomed to maximizing profits, and has never lacked the spirit of adventure, and this time, it seems that he does not have to take too much risk.
"The old mistake is committed, we are now in the army, not thieves, what is it called, big brother?" Wei Wen said coldly.
The general who started to speak smiled hehe, he was Wei Wen's old subordinate, but he was already used to calling Wei Wen Dudu, but this sneak attack on Jianye was the biggest battle since he joined the Sichuan army, and there was a sense of excitement of a sneak attack by water thieves.
The general involuntarily called out his previous name.
"Wait, wait half an hour." Wei Wen looked at the white fog in front of him, and said in a deep voice, the water thieves must have taken advantage of the fog to sneak attack the land, even if Jiangdong is already very empty, Wei Wen will not risk his own people's lives.
But Wei Wen knew that this was not a good time, the fog was very thick, and the sneak attack was easy to succeed, but what about going ashore?
If the army that is attacking is weaker than the army that is being attacked and needs to bluff, then the fog must be good, but Wei Wen's 40,000 army, even if Sun Quan scrapes the ground, there are not so many people, and leading the army to rush forward is a force.
And the weather is clear, which is obviously conducive to killing.
Wei Wen has spent almost all his life on the water, the weather on the water is too ripe, after half an hour, the fog will not dissipate, but it is close to dissipating, that is to say, the navy can take advantage of the fog to go ashore, and after going ashore, the sky is clear and killing.
…………
"Good news, good news."
Jianye, Wu Wangfu, as the first different surname to be called the king, Sun Quan was a little proud and a little apprehensive, after all, his strength was the lowest among the three princes today, but looking at the plaque of King Wu, it still made Sun Quan happy.
Today's Sun Quan is only twenty-three years old, and it is impossible to immerse himself in false fame, but he has great ambitions.
But the name of King Wu is not a false name, even if it is the first king with a different surname, no one in the world is unconvinced, of course, this service refers to the clan, but in the princes of the Han Dynasty, the clan almost represents everything.
In many cases, what is said is justified, convincing the people of the world, winning the hearts of the people, etc., is said for the world, and those low-class people will not be taken into account.
Since this King Wu is convinced by the people of the world, then he deserves to be the King of Wu, and what is the concept of a king who deserves his name? As long as you have this title, your prestige will be greatly improved, and it will also make Jiangdong's civil and military affairs more prosperous, and there will be more talents to serve.
Now Sun Quan feels that the position of King Wu is still unstable, and the real stable moment can only be the moment when Jingzhou is won, as long as Jingzhou is taken, Sun Quan knows that this King Wu himself is firmly seated.
Now I heard a soldier shouting: "Good news" rushed into the hall, Sun Quan and the full hall of civil and military were all shocked, good news at this time. Where else is there besides Jingzhou?
"Report?" The soldier bowed to Sun Quan. Submit a military report. "The Governor of Zhou Yu cut off the supply of grain and grass to Fazheng, and surrounded Baichuan City with the Deputy Governor of Lusu, Fazheng was cut off from grain, and Baichuan City will be broken soon."
The hall was full of civil and military excitement, even if he had expected that Zhou Yu and Lu Su would win more and lose less this time, but Jiangdong civil and military forces were sweating, you must know that once something happens in Jingzhou. The consequences were catastrophic, and this disaster came from the defeat of Cao Cao in the north too quickly.
No one knew why Cao Cao, who swept across the Central Plains and Hebei, was defeated so quickly, but they knew that once Huang Yueying's army went south and Zhou Yu and Lusu had not taken Fazheng, the battle of Jingzhou would only fall short.
And Jingzhou can't be taken, it's not just the land, if it's just a piece of Jingzhou's land, Jiangdong civil and military will not care, if Zhou Yu and Lusu are defeated. The Sichuan army in the north went down to Jingzhou, so how powerful will the Jiangdong army face?
Listened to this defeat. Sun Quan was really overjoyed, and his position as King Wu was finally secured.
"My lord." Zhang Zhao stepped out of the ranks, and when he heard the good news just now, Zhang Zhao was obviously a little excited, but Zhang Zhao was scheming, and his eyes would not stay on the temporary victory, he would look farther, and his smile would soon disappear.
"Now that Fazheng has become the end of a strong crossbow, Jingzhou will soon be included in the lord's pocket, so that the lord has Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and his strength is enough to rival Cao Cao and Liu Zhang.
Although the Sichuan army is now strong in the Central Plains, even if Jingyi Erzhou is rich in grain production, the Sichuan army has been fighting continuously for more than a year, destroying Liu Bei, moving the capital to Chang'an, pacifying the displaced people, feeding the 700,000 troops on the front line, and directly fighting 300,000 troops.
One-third of the world has become a trend, as long as Cao fights against Liu, in the next ten years or even decades, the Yizhou butcher will not want to make an inch. ”
"Congratulations, my lord." After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, the civil officials marched out of the column to bow down to Sun Quan.
Originally, it was a very enjoyable thing for the lord to be congratulated by the civil and military officials, but Sun Quan had a hidden anger in his heart, what is the world's three points? What is Yizhou butcher not want to enter?
Could it be that I, Sun Quan, are on one side and have many capable people under my command, so I can only be beaten by others, and I can't beat others?
Now Jingzhou is in hand, it is the heyday of Jiangdong, and the Sichuan army grain and grass is almost gone, he Sun Quan can have a lot of grain and grass, because of learning Jingzhou's agricultural planting methods, this year and the introduction of Zhancheng rice, Jiangdong has not fought for many years, grain and grass can be described as a mountain, as far as Jiangdong's little troops, a year or two is completely superficial.
Now is the time for him to create a great cause, even if the world is divided into three, he Sun Quan must be the strongest one, Sun Quan's conservatism of these civil officials can be said to be hated.
Sun Quan smiled: "Everyone, please take up, Jiangdong can have today's situation, it is all caused by the concerted efforts of Jiangdong's civil and military forces, although Lone has accepted the appointment of the imperial court and is listed as the king of Wu, but the war is tense, and I have not had time to canonize my Jiangdong meritorious general, Zhang Zhao Gu Yong, you can prepare, three days later, Lone will seal the world." ”
A handful of military generals bowed down to Sun Quan, but the civil officials were not interested, as if they didn't want to be crowned.
"The lord is wise and martial, cherishes his ministers, and is a generation of heroes, but now Dafeng civil and military do not need to be too anxious, and now there is a more urgent matter that needs to be dealt with immediately." Zhang Zhao said in a slow voice.
"Oh? What's the matter? Sun Quan frowned.
Zhang Zhaoyu said: "The lord, the governor of Zhou and the deputy governor of Lusu, although they are about to defeat Fazheng and seize Jingzhou, but according to the news, the Sichuan army has captured Xuchang, and the Sichuan army that captured Xuchang may be stationed in Xuchang, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will pursue the defeated army of Cao, but it is more likely that Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying will send troops south to Jingzhou.
We have just taken Jingzhou, and we will inevitably face a fierce attack by the Sichuan army, but the lord does not need to worry, I expect that the Sichuan army will not have enough food and grass, and will not send too many troops.
But the problem that needs to be solved urgently is that now Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the two major governors, are in Jingzhou, after capturing Fazheng, who will preside over the affairs of Jingzhou, who will integrate the troops and horses to resist the enemy, the snake will not be able to have a head, but neither can the two heads, and there must be a person in charge of Jingzhou's affairs.
Huang Yueying is a generation of demon girls, with treacherous strategies, Jiangdong Army can't have two people in charge of Jingzhou, otherwise even if Zhou Yu and Lu Su are both geniuses in the world, they are not Huang Yueying's opponents, please decide on a person who is fully responsible for Jingzhou and coordinate the battle against Huang Yueying. ”
Sun Quan immediately heard that Zhang Zhao and others were going to choose someone to control Jingzhou, and Sun Quan was also aware of the importance of this candidate, Zhou Yu and Lu Su had completely different styles of acting, and whoever presided over Jingzhou already represented the direction of the Jiangdong Army in the future.
"What do you guys think?"
Although Sun Quan doesn't need to think about it, he just hopes that Zhou Yu will be in charge, in that way, Zhou Yu will control Jingzhou, and Lu Meng will control the navy, then Jiangdong will really be vibrant, but Sun Quan, as a mature prince, still rules the intricate Jiangdong princes, it is impossible to be so rigid, and it has become a habit to ask for opinions.
"The old minister proposed that the deputy governor of Lusu concurrently serve as the pastor of Jingzhou." Zhang Zhao arched his hand, and his brother Zhang Hong was silent on the side, as if these had nothing to do with him, but Sun Quan knew that among the civil officials in Jiangdong, Zhang Hong had the highest prestige, and his younger brother Zhang Zhao was just a bird.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
Civilian officials came out one after another.
Sun Quan frowned, only then did he find that there was not a single main battle faction in the hall, and all the main battle factions had already gone to the front line, including the few military generals, who were also the children of the four major families in Jiangdong, although these people were slow to react politically, but they would not react slowly in the family, at least they would not oppose the family's affairs.
Sun Quan was a little angry, Zhou Yu was also from a family, why do others have this consciousness, they have the ambition to swallow heaven and earth, are these people in front of them just piles of carrion?
Sun Quan was still kind and pleasant, and weighed it: "It stands to reason that Zhou Yu is the governor of the capital, and Lu Su is only the deputy governor, and now that the general trend has been decided, there should be no dispute over who is in charge of Jingzhou, of course, the person with the highest position in Jingzhou is in charge of Jingzhou, if the deputy governor is in charge of Jingzhou, and the governor is left aside, does it seem a bit deliberate?" ”
Sun Quan had tried his best to be tactful, but Zhang Zhao immediately vetoed Sun Quan's words and bowed deeply: "Lord, you can't say that, who is in charge of Jingzhou is not whose position is, but whether the ability is suitable."
I and others all know that the Governor of Dadu is powerful, and the battle is invincible, although the Deputy Governor of Lusu can also transfer troops, but the old minister thinks that the Governor of Zhou is higher.
However, the command of Jingzhou is not all for the purpose of fighting, fighting the war is only one of the aspects, and there are many things that need to be coordinated, and more are internal affairs.
I, Zhang Zhao, am not afraid of offending the Governor of Zhou, and I dare to pat my chest and say that the Deputy Governor of Lusu will coordinate internal affairs and military affairs at the same time, and he will definitely be stronger than the Governor of Zhou. (To be continued......)
