Chapter 454: Sun Quan's helplessness

"Okay, immediately send a messenger to the Kangding camp, Shunan, and the troops from all over Shudong to gather in Hanzhong, and send an order to Jingzhou Fazheng Fan Lixiang, out of the division on the Qingni Pass, to contain Liu Beijun in Guanzhong, Jingyi into a state of combat readiness, and after a month, the Northern Expedition to Xiliang."

"Obey the Lord's command."

Jing Yi began to fully mobilize, with 10,000 infantry in eastern and southern Shu, 10,000 in the Wuxi border army, and 20,000 barbarians in each after leaving the army to defend Jiaozhou.

There are 40,000 infantry in the Xikang battalion and 20,000 elite cavalry who have been trained for several years.

A total of 120,000 cavalry infantry marched towards Hanzhong.

At the same time, all the thirteen divisions of Xiqiang were dispatched, and the 40,000 cavalry of Dongqingyi, which was directly controlled, and a total of 60,000 cavalry of the remaining twelve divisions were requisitioned.

In addition, there are 40,000 infantry under Wei Yan in Hanzhong and 10,000 Han cavalry under Pang Rou, a total of 270,000 troops will meet in Hanzhong and send troops north.

Huang Quan, Wang Fu, Li Yan, Jiang Wan, Cai Wei and others urgently raised grain and grass, Jing Yimin was attached to him, and after the government proposed to borrow grain, all those who could have a little surplus grain would lend their family grain to supply military rations.

Merchants were even more active, and these new merchants knew that Jing Yi's governance model was now very different from that of the rest of the prefectures, just as the Sichuan army would have suffered a devastating blow if the Sichuan army invaded other states, and if Cao Cao Sun Quan invaded Jingyi, their interests would also be seriously damaged.

If the Sichuan army is defeated, they will lose everything they have now and their vision for the future, and they will be tied to the same boat as the Sichuan army

This is the largest mobilization since the battle of Liu Zhang's Fucheng, as long as Yongliang is captured. Occupy Guanzhong. Half of the world is in possession. And it is in the absolute advantage of attacking, retreating, and defending.

This was a battle related to the fate of the Sichuan army.

Grain and grass raising, army scheduling, in full swing.

Liu Zhang led 2,000 Dongzhou guards and 10,000 Dongzhou elite soldiers to Hanzhong, just past the Chengdu gate, and sent a letter from Jingzhou.

Liu Zhang glanced at it, and as he expected, Fa Zheng also dissuaded himself from the Northern Expedition at this time.

"My lord. At this time, it is not a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition, our army is short of food and grass, although it is allocated in many ways, but it is difficult to meet the needs of the army, unless the lord conquers the city all the way, unimpeded, it is impossible to occupy Yongliang in such a short time.

And Liu Bei's martial arts are prosperous, Guan Zhang and Zhao are all enemies, Zhuge Liang is a genius in the world, and he is definitely not Zhao Wei. ZHANG Lu, LIU Biao. Han Sui Ma Teng, as well as the South, Central and Western Qiang and the like.

If our army can not take Yongliang, or defeated, will be greatly injured, now Cao Cao has controlled Jizhou, the general trend of Hebei has been clear, if our army is damaged, how to fight with Cao Cao, but also ask the lord to think twice before acting, Fa Zheng kowtow to worship. ”

Liu Zhang looked at the letterhead, quietly tore the letterhead to shreds, and said to the messenger soldiers: "Tell Fa Zheng to let him raise Jingzhou soldiers to the Qingni Pass to contain Liu Bei's army in Guanzhong."

The 30,000 troops in the north were enough, so that most of the naval forces supervised Wei Wen, closely monitored the movement of Jiangdong, and Jiangling, Changsha, Xiangyang, and other important towns must be strictly guarded. ”

"Yes."

Liu Zhang glanced at Liu Xun, who came to see him off, and shook his head, Liu Xun knew that Liu Zhang went out this time, for as little as a year, and as much as ...... Liu Zhang saw Liu Xun holding Zhou Budo's hand and crying, and sighed in his heart: "Xun'er, my father did all this, but it was all for you, if you are not too merciful by nature, why should I send troops to fight urgently." ”

Liu Zhang would never allow the Sichuan army to remain in a corner of peace and become a separatist force that was useless to the nation.

"Lord, there is a letter from Lord Fan Lixiang here, Lord Fan asks to lead 20,000 Shenwei troops to accompany Yongliang."

"Pear." Liu Zhang remembered the scene when he and Fan Lixiang were drinking in a small alley in Xiangyang, this woman who wanted to get ahead as a daughter, now that she is an official and assassinated history, she should have to do whatever she wants, and she wants to abandon literature and martial arts.

Shenwei Army, this authentic peasant army, Liu Zhang's combat power did not dare to compliment, but Fan Lixiang's reputation was followed by the sentence "The Red Emperor is reincarnated, the Mandate of Heaven is crowned king, and the red star descends to the earth to save the common people." "Spread all over the world.

Because she is the first woman to rank as a big man, kindness and beauty, the people naturally talk about it, in the Yongzhou area, especially in the warlord's war-torn Guanzhong, Fan Lixiang has a very good reputation among the people, no less than the Yuejia army and the Qi family army, and the people dream of looking forward to the Shenwei army to save them.

With Fan Lixiang, it should be easier to attack Yongliang.

"The herald Fan Lixiang led the Shenwei army to Hanzhong, Li Yan assassinated Jingzhou on behalf of the history, and Jiang Wan sealed Jingzhou to govern Zhongzhong."

"Yes."

…………

The Sichuan army suddenly raised three armies to attack Yongliang, and the government and the opposition in Jiangdong were shaken, and the ministers discussed a lot.

Sun Quan looked at Wenwu lying down, and asked with a smile: "Shu Hou Liu Zhang, led the horse infantry army and the Nanban, Wuxi Man, and Xiqiang Wei to join the army, a total of more than 300,000, attacking Yongliang, the Sichuan army on land can be said to be pouring out, everyone, how should we deal with it?" ”

The veteran Huang Gai immediately came out of the ranks and said loudly: "My lord, although the Sichuan army has formed an alliance with our Jiangdong, there is a great enmity between the life and death of the first lord Sun Ce and the major general Sun Yi, and then there are 30,000 sons of Jiangling who died in the belly of the fish, and our army was forced to cede Baqiu.

Before, the Sichuan army was strong, and our army was helpless, but now Liu Zhang's nest is dispatched, it is the time for our Jiangdong army to take revenge, as long as Liu Zhang goes north out of Hanzhong and fights with Liu Bei, our army can take advantage of the situation to enter Jingxiang and take revenge. ”

"Joke, Huang Gongfu, do you think that my Jiangdong Erlang is your private weapon for revenge?"

Zhang Zhao glanced at Huang Gai, slowly stepped out of the ranks, and saluted Sun Quan: "Lord, General Huang's words are very wrong, and they are really harming my Jiangdong.

Although Liu Zhang raised a large army to attack Xiliang, but half of them were Qiang soldiers and barbarians, Jingzhou infantry in addition to Fan Lixiang Shenwei army, Fa Zheng only took 30,000 troops to the north, Jiangling, Changsha, Xiangyang defense is tight, not to mention there are 100,000 water troops of Weiwen, how can our Jiangdong army win?

Not only can we not win, but our army is originally allied with Liu Zhang, if it is treacherous, won't it be ridiculed by the people of the world? Nowadays, the Shanyue tribe has frequent rebellions, which is the heart of my Jiangdong development, and my subordinates suggest that the lord take this opportunity to crack down on the arrogance of Shanyue. ”

"Hit Yamagoe? Put the cart before the horse. Cheng Pu looked at Zhang Zhao and said disdainfully: "What Shanyue rebellion, Xu Sheng, Zhu Huan and other generals have already subdued Shanyue, and it's not because you tore up the alliance with the Shanyue army." Otherwise, how would Shanyue rebel? ”

"Cheng Demou. I'm afraid you're talking too much. Gu Yong said: "Whether it is an alliance with Shanyue or forced to break the alliance." We are all thinking about the overall situation of Jiangdong's stability, but we look at you.

Why don't you want to think about it, when Zhang Zhao told him not to go west, but you must go west, and finally Zhou Yu's 30,000 army was wiped out in Jiangling, if not, how would my Jiangdong be as weak as today? Will they be slaughtered? ”

"You...... Hugh was disrespectful to the governor of Zhou. Xu Sheng and the other young generals immediately came out and glared at Gu Yong angrily.

A gloomy voice rang out at the door of the lobby. "You lords really know the overall situation, think about my Jiangdong, if it weren't for the adults who sold the excess grain and grass to the Sichuan army at twice the price, my Jiangdong would not be prosperous today."

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a white-faced young general guarding the door, holding a sword, looking at the ground with both eyes, Gu Yong was immediately furious.

"Lu Xun, you are a partial lieutenant. Is there a place for you to speak? ”

"Do you dare to do it, are you still afraid of what people say?" Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals competed against each other.

"Alright. Stop arguing. Sun Quan solemnly looked at the martial arts under the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The military generals dare to ask for war, and the civil officials focus on the overall situation, which is my great luck in Jiangdong, and there is no military service, all of them are for the future of my Jiangdong, Zijing, I only listen to your opinions, what do you say." ”

Lu Su was like an old monk, standing at the head of the military attachΓ©, and had been silent, when he heard Sun Quan call him, he groaned for a while, and then slowly walked out of the ranks.

"Lord, my subordinates think that Huang Gongfu and General Cheng Demou are reasonable, Shuhou Liu Zhang is ambitious, even if he has no great enmity with our army, we must be vigilant.

However, the subordinates believe that now it is indeed as Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other adults said, the time has not come, maybe now Liu Zhang poured his troops out, even if Jingzhou stayed behind with heavy troops, our Jiangdong army can also fight, but with the combat strength of the Sichuan army, our army will never win a complete victory, at most both defeats.

But don't forget, Lord and everyone, our great enemy is not only one Liu Zhang, but also Cao Cao in the north, Cao Cao killed Yuan Tan, the Yuan family is gone, and now only Liu Zhang is left who can barely compete with Cao Cao.

I understand the feelings of the generals very well, revenge is what every hot-blooded man should do, but as the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, if we are in a hurry to take revenge, it is Cao Cao who is happy, if Liu Zhang is defeated, Jiangdong will be difficult to support alone, and it will be destroyed by Cao Cao.

If Lu Su thinks that this time Liu Zhang's Northern Expedition is the best opportunity, if Liu Zhang is defeated in Yongliang, our army should not only not take revenge immediately, but should form a stronger alliance, resist the north with the south, stabilize Jiangdong, General Cheng Pu, General Huang Gai, think right? ”

Lu Su looked at Huang Gai Chengpu, Huang Gai Chengpu had no prejudice against Lu Su, and listened to him make sense, and arched his hand: "What the Metropolitan Governor said is very true. ”

Lu Su smiled: "My Jiangdong generals are all sensible people, so I also ask Lord Zhang Zhao, Lord Gu Yong, all the literary workers, and the generals to understand each other, this is my Jiangdong's luck." ”

"Gu Yong's gaffe, please forgive the lord."

Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other civil officials nodded at Lu Su's words.

Lu Su said to Sun Quan: "Lord, I only said half of what I said just now, if Liu Zhang is defeated, our army should be in close alliance with it, but if Liu Zhang wins, occupy Xiliang Pass, hold Xiongguan, and cross the river by boat.

At that time, my Jiangdong army should strive to march westward and crusade against Liu Zhang, at that time, not only the military generals will take revenge, but not only my Jiangdong will extend the great cause, but also for the benefit of the common people in the world, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, my lords, at that time, will you still try to stop the expedition? ”

Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and the others looked at each other, and they all said: "We are all dedicated to the great cause of Jiangdong, not for personal gain, Mr. Zijing is reasonable, it is beneficial to my Jiangdong, how can we stop it?" Isn't that a Jiangdong sinner? ”

"At that time, I, Zhang Zhao, am willing to devote all my family wealth to help the lord crusade against the tyrant in Yizhou, and solve the problem of the people in the world."

"Hahahaha." Sun Quan laughed and said to Lu Su appreciatively: "Zijing, Zijing, you are really a widow Zhang Liang, a few words, not only point out the direction for my Jiangdong Army, but even more rarely, let me Jiangdong civil and military concentric, no wonder the first brother said that there is Lu Su in Jiangdong, which can ensure peace for 20 years, and Lu Su is talented." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is a great talent."

"Mr. Zijing is talented."

The civil and military forces bowed their hands to Lu Su, and Lu Su returned the salute, and he was not shocked.

…………

When Sun Quan arrived in the back hall, thirteen-year-old Sun Shangxiang ran over with a sword.

"Beware of ...... skirts"

"Click."

Before Sun Quan finished shouting, Sun Shangxiang stepped on his skirt, the skirt was torn open at once, and he glanced at the skirt hatefully, "Who invented this dress, it has to be worn by my daughter's family, and there is a large piece of it dragged behind, and I get angry when I look at it." ”

Sun Shangxiang pulled out his sword, split his skirt with a sword, and Sun Quan smiled back and forth.

"Brother, you laugh, laugh again, you ...... Brother. Sun Shangxiang's face was flushed, and his cheeks were like eggs.

"Okay, okay, I don't laugh, I don't laugh." Sun Quan finally stopped laughing, and laughed twice: "Sister, are you coming to me?" ”

"Yes, brother, I beg you." Sun Shangxiang grabbed Sun Quan's shirt: "Brother Zhou Yu has been writing for so long, isn't he just going to take his sister-in-law to live?" Why didn't you say yes? My sister-in-law is alone in that ghost-like yard, so pitiful, my sister can't bear to look at it. ”

Zhou Yu was recuperating in Baling, and Xiao Qiao took care of him, Zhou Yu felt that Xiao Qiao was suffering with him, so he thought about taking Da Qiao over, and the two sisters could talk to each other.

But Sun Quan read the letter, but did not express his position, Sun Shangxiang came to beg several times to no avail.

Sun Shangxiang and her two sisters-in-law are all good, seeing Da Qiao living alone in the gloomy courtyard, his face is colorless, and his heart hurts, as long as he is free, he will intercede for Da Qiao.

In fact, Sun Shangxiang has already given up in his heart.

"Okay, let my sister-in-law go."

"Huh? Brother, what do you say? ”

Sun Shangxiang glared at Sun Quan in disbelief.

"Now that Shao'er is also older, there is no need to take care of her, it is okay for my sister-in-law to go to Baling, but Shao'er is the blood of the Sun family, Baling is located on the front line of the river, close to Baqiu controlled by the Sichuan army, Shao'er is in danger of going, you tell your sister-in-law, Shao'er will be taken care of by a special person, and she will take good care of herself after she goes to Baling."

"Oh, brother, you're so good." With this result, Sun Shangxiang was already very satisfied, kissed Sun Quan, and ran to Da Qiao's yard like a bird.

Sun Quan shook his head and sighed again, the joy on his face vanished: "Gong Jin, those ministers today said that if Liu Zhang defeats Liu Bei and the Sichuan army controls Guanzhong, it will be the time when I send troops to Jiangdong. ”

The last time he sent troops to Jiangling, Sun Quan had great hopes, but when he waited and waited, the result was disappointment, complete disappointment, unlike Liu Zhang and Cao Cao, it was too difficult for Sun Quan to find a reason to persuade civilian officials to send troops, and every opportunity, Sun Quan could only cherish it.
