Chapter 308: It's Too Early to Rejoice
Yuzhang City, also called Nanchang.
It is the seat of Yuzhang County, the city is tall and heavy, and its solidity is no less than Chaisang. Since Zhou Yu defeated Jiangxia and lost the four cities of Caisang.
The city became the front line.
When dealing with the Shanyue riots, Sun Quan did not forget to hoard food and equipment for this city.
Therefore, Nanchang Cheng now has sufficient food, and the reserves of knives, guns, swords, etc. are also sufficient.
In addition, Zhou Yutun's army is 20,000 here. These armies were all elite soldiers who had grown up rapidly after destroying Shanyue. The momentum is like a rainbow.
The people in Jiangdong didn't think that Liu Feng could break through, including Zhou Yu.
At this moment, in the study room of the General's Mansion in Yuzhangcheng, Zhou Yu sat on the main seat, and under him Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Lu Meng and other famous figures in Jiangdong.
The successful suppression of the Shanyue Rebellion restored Zhou Yu's confidence, and the improvement was much better than when he was defeated.
But it is far from the original spirit.
Although his eyes are still sharp, his complexion is a little dull yellow, not a long-lived appearance.
Glancing at the generals sitting down, Zhou Yu spoke: "Today, I got the news that General Pang Tong led 13,000 troops to camp outside Chaisang City, I don't know what you think?" ”
"Hmph, it seems that Liu Feng is really determined to start a war with us Jiangdong, it's really beyond his strength." Zhu Ran snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
It's also strange that Zhu Ran disdains, the current Jiangdong is not the Jiangdong of October ago. At the beginning, Zhou Yu could only use 8,000 troops, and there were still restrictions.
Now that Shanyue has been pacified, don't think about recovering in ten years.
A large number of well-known soldiers in Jiangdong can free up their hands to deal with other places. Not to mention the current 20,000, even if it is another 20,000, it is not impossible.
In such a strong Jiangdong, Liu Feng actually took the initiative to attack Yuzhang, not because he was overwhelmed.
"Liu Feng is not such a weak person, Hugh should underestimate the enemy." Seeing Zhu Ran, who was very proud, Zhu Zhi reprimanded.
Zhu Ran's original surname is Shi, and he is the son of Zhu Zhi's sister. Later, he was succeeded to Zhu Zhi and changed his surname to Zhu.
Zhu Zhi is very majestic in Zhu Ran's heart. A reprimand made Zhu Ran obediently close his mouth, but his eyes were still full of disdain.
Lu Meng is twenty-nine years old this year, and his face is ordinary, but there is a flash of fierceness in it. Lu Meng was a young general in his early years, and his ability was not only not outstanding, but very mediocre. But he was angry.
Jiangdong in this era is an era of young generals, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, etc. have prestige, but Lu Meng's ability is still above Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, so he is valued by Zhou Yu.
"Hehe, what General Zhu said is true. In terms of potential, Liu Feng is not enough to confront my Jiangdong. It's just that I think Liu Feng is not an unwise person, and this brazen dispatch of troops must be relied on and have to be guarded against. Lu Meng smiled slightly, while affirming Zhu Ran's words, and said that there was fraud here.
Zhou Yu nodded happily when he heard this, he also felt that there was fraud here. But I don't know where. However, no matter where there was fraud, Zhou Yu decided not to move like a mountain, so as to respond to all changes.
"The city of Yuzhang is tall, with 20,000 troops and enough soldiers. No matter what Liu Feng's conspiracy is, we have room for adaptation, and we are not afraid. Zhou Yu said softly.
"The most urgent thing now is to step up the arrangement and increase the equipment to defend the city."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu suddenly stood up.
On his jade-like face, a trace of hideousness suddenly flashed, and Zhou Yu said loudly: "I want to destroy its army under this city, and then counterattack Jiangxia." ”
"No." Lu Meng, Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Ran responded in unison.
After a few moments, the generals dispersed.
In the study, only Zhou Yu was left. The hideousness on Zhou Yu's face could no longer be suppressed. A generation of Confucian generals is full of murderous aura at the moment.
Zhou Yu couldn't forget the price he paid after the defeat of Jiangxia.
8,000 soldiers, wife and children, small family.
Thinking of the past, Zhou Yu's eyes became red in just a moment.
roared in his heart, Liu Feng, I will definitely let you taste this heartbreak.
……………… The movement of people from both sides, a total of tens of thousands of people, is difficult to hide. What's more, both sides did not hide it.
Today, there are very few wars. Such a large-scale war naturally attracted the attention of the princes of the world.
Xiangyang, Kuai Yue, who received the news, quickly rushed to Cai's mansion.
After Liu Biao's death, the two major forces were no longer restrained, and the two of them had long since stopped hiding it. I expressed an alliance to the outside.
After Kuai Yue came to the gate of Cai's Mansion, he didn't need to report it, and went straight to Cai's Mansion. Soon, Kuai Yue came to the study.
In the study, Cai Mao knelt on the main seat, looking a little unpleasant.
Kuai Yue received the news, and he naturally received it.
What Liu Feng wanted to do, Cai Mao couldn't guess. Originally, according to Huang Chengyan, Liu Feng had the heart of self-reliance and the ability.
But if you want to fight against Cao Ying, you must unite with Jiangdong, and now he has brazenly launched a war against Jiangdong.
What is the reason for this? made Liu Feng lose his mind.
Cai Mao didn't think that Liu Feng would start a war for no reason, so there must be a reason for it. It's just that Cai Mao can't guess, can't guess.
Cai Mao was still guessing that Kuai Yue had already entered the study.
"Do you know that your son-in-law is at war with Koto?" As soon as he entered the door, Kuai Yue went straight to the point. Then, I chose a random seat and sat down.
"Of course I do." Cai Mao said when he heard this.
"The last time he went to war with Cao Ren and captured Cao Ren alive, I thought he had ambitions. But now that he is at war with Koto, I really can't guess what he wants to do. Kuai Yue glanced at Cai Mao and said.
Immediately, he said: "Did he pass through the anger with you?" ”
Cai Mao smiled bitterly when he heard this, if Liu Feng was angry with him, he would not be so troubled.
That son-in-law's surname is too strong, and no one can control it.
As soon as he saw Cai Mao's expression, Kuai Yue immediately knew that Cai Mao had not received any news. can't help but be discouraged, this relationship between Weng and son-in-law is useless at all.
However, it is imperative to find a way to profit from it.
Therefore, Kuai Yue quickly put away the discouragement in his heart and said: "At present, the Shanyue riot has been quelled, and the power of Jiangdong is far better than Jiangxia. Although Liu Feng is attacking, the probability of defeat is too great. We cannot sit back and watch him fall. ”
Cai Mao rolled her eyes without any image when she heard this, and said, "You still need to say this, he is my son-in-law, and I care more about him than you." A letter was written a long time ago, and Wen Ping went south to Jiangling and acted at the opportunity. ”
Kuai Yue nodded, as long as Wen Ping was here, even if Liu Feng failed, it would not lead to a big defeat.
is similar to the result guessed by Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao is not optimistic about his son-in-law. Therefore, the father-in-law has taken action early.
If Liu Feng was defeated, Wen Ping would set off from Jiangling and go to Jiangxia to fight the fire.
But what is this war for? Cai Mao and Kuai Yue glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Like them, Liu Bei also had doubts.
However, Liu Bei was not interested in what the reason was. He was more interested in how Liu Feng would lose if he went to war with Jiangdong.
For Liu Bei, now he has no ability to participate in this kind of competition, and what he can do now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
And watching Liu Feng eat deflated is Liu Bei's happiest thing.
It's better to lose both.
Xinye, in the study of Taishou Mansion. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Liao Li sat in a zigzag shape.
Liu Bei said viciously in his heart, Liu Bei understands that his current power is too weak, and his competitiveness against Jingzhou will also be very weak, and only if Liu Feng and Jiangdong compete with each other for power, causing Liu Feng's vitality to be greatly damaged, he will have a chance.
Zhuge Liang is still as calm as he was a few months ago.
As for Liao Li, he is also a good look, because of his previous fame, he quickly got a role after defecting to Liu Bei.
During this period, the errand in hand was done in an orderly manner. So whenever he encountered a major event, Liu Bei also brought him to discuss.
It's a really good mix.
"If you compete in strength, Liu Feng will lose. The only suspense now is to what extent Liu Feng has been defeated. Will it lead to a slump? Liu Bei endured the excitement in his heart and asked.
"The lord forgot, then Cai Mao and Liu Feng are Weng sons-in-law, if Liu Feng is defeated, Cai Mao will definitely not sit idly by. Therefore, defeat is definitely defeat, but it will not be a major loss of vitality and collapse. Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.
His views are the same as Liu Bei's. Although Jiangxia and Jiangdong seem to be close, in fact, there is a huge gap in strength, and Liu Feng took the initiative to attack.
No matter how you fight, there is only one way to lose.
"Kong Ming's words are wrong." At this time, Liao Li spoke.
"Oh? What does Gongyuan think? Hearing Zhuge Liang say that Liu Feng would not be defeated no matter what he said, Liu Bei felt discouraged. Hearing Liao Li say this, he couldn't help but feel excited and asked.
"Liu Feng's army is very mixed. There is its own Jiangxia army, as well as newly recruited soldiers, and Cao Ren's soldiers. The rabble. If it is defeated, it will be defeated, and it will definitely be a thousand miles away. And Zhou Yu is a famous Jiangdong general, good at seizing opportunities. If Liu Feng is defeated for thousands of miles, he can occupy Jiangxia before Cai Mao reacts. Liao Li said with a smile.
He sent a defiant look at Zhuge Liang in his heart.
Over the past few months, he has shown great ability to pay for himself. and also won Liu Bei's appreciation, and is now the master bookkeeper.
But even so, he was ranked below Zhuge Liang in every row. If Liu Bei has any questions, he will ask Zhuge Liang first.
Liao Li is not a patient and up-and-coming person. What's more, when he defected to Liu Bei, he was just kicking Zhuge Liang away and favoring Liu Bei.
Now that the time is ripe to pay by yourself, it is natural that everything is contrary to Zhuge Liang.
For example, this sentence, he actually agrees with Zhuge Liang's words in his heart. He had been to Jiangxia and knew that Liu Feng was not as vulnerable as some people imagined.
Even if Zhou Yu wins, it can't be a big victory.
But Liao Li saw Liu Bei's preferences, so he naturally did what he liked. What's even more terrifying is that Liao Li's head and head is based on facts.
On the bright side, it makes sense.
In the battle of Wancheng, Liu Bei hated Liu Feng to the bone. As a result, there are some problems with the most basic judgments.
Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded thoughtfully.
"What Gong Yuan said is very true, Liu Feng will definitely be defeated in this battle."
Liao Li was overjoyed and very complacent.
Zhuge Liang glanced at Liao Li, although Liao Li did not show obvious self-satisfaction, but the gaze between the corners of his eyes flashed, but Zhuge Liang could see it.
With a sigh in his heart, he now regretted recommending Liao Li.
When Liao Li came to vote, he said that Liao Li was a great talent.
Now it seems that talent is there. But it won't be used on the right path. This man is a scourge.
Not to mention Zhuge Liang's worries, Liu Bei's mood suddenly became very good because of Liao Li's words.
Liu Feng is going to be defeated, and it is a big defeat. How could he not be happy?
