Chapter 031: Joining Gangneung
After Zhuge Liang's persuasion of Cai Mao failed, Zhilu Dao's situation was critical! Hurried to the city gate to meet Zhao Yun. The group left Xiangyang City and galloped to meet Liu Beijun, who had already arrived and was stationed outside Xiangyang City. After the meeting, Zhuge Liang stated to Liu Bei the psychology of Cai Mao and most of the officials in Xiangyang City to surrender to Cao, and proposed to Liu Bei that Liu Biao had gathered a large amount of military supplies in Jiangling in order to resist Cao's army, and suggested that Liu Bei should immediately go south to occupy the place where Jiangling was based. Then he ordered all counties in Jingzhou to resist Cao together, so that they had the strength to compete with Cao Cao. Liu Bei agreed.
At this time, Zhang Fei's subordinates, who were sent by Liu Bei to prepare to capture Jiangling first, had already approached Jiangling City. Wei Yan, the general of Jiangling, is a man with great ambitions, and he despises Liu Biao's conservative thinking very much, and has been secretly looking for a master worthy of assistance. When I heard that Liu Bei's army was going south to attack Jiangling, I was overjoyed! He hurriedly sent an envoy to Zhang Fei's army to express his desire to submit to Uncle Liu. This also made Zhang Fei feel like pie in the sky. Therefore, he entertained Wei Yan's envoy in a very friendly manner, and asked the envoy to convey Wei Yan and said: Corporal Liu Huangshu Lixian, now that General Wei Yan has taken the initiative to surrender, this is a great achievement, and he must report to his brother to reward Wei Yan. The envoy went back and truthfully relayed Zhang Fei's words to Wei Yan, and Wei Yan was very happy. Immediately led his subordinates to open the city gate to welcome Zhang Fei's army into the city.
After Zhang Fei entered the city, on the one hand, he appeased the guards and officials in Jiangling, allowing them to serve in their original positions, and when Liu Bei came, he would be rewarded separately. At the same time, Wei Yan was appointed as the Taishou of Nanjun to continue to defend Jiangling. On the other hand, he hurriedly ordered someone to send a letter to Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Said that he had occupied Gangneung City. I hope that Liu Bei and Guan Yu will come to Jiangling to meet as soon as possible.
Guan Yu and Liu Bei, who were on the march, were very happy after receiving Zhang Fei's letter, and led their troops to Jiangling City to meet him day and night. On September 1, the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei's three main armies finally succeeded in meeting Jiangling. Thus realizing the first step of Liu Bei's strategic concept of using Jiangling as a base to resist Cao's army. In order to commend Wei Yan, who contributed to the city. Liu Bei crowned Wei Yan as a general and commanded the Jiangling garrison.
At this time, a bad news also reached Gangneung. Liu Cong, the new pastor of Jingzhou, led the crowd to surrender to Cao Cao, and Cao's soldiers took Xiangyang City, where Jingzhou Prefecture was located, without blood. At the same time, Cao Cao rewarded the surrender faction led by Cai Mao, in an attempt to win the hearts of the Jingzhou scholars. At the same time, when Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei had occupied Jiangling, he was furious. In order to completely defeat the resistance of Jingzhou led by Liu Bei and Liu Qi, Cao Cao ordered Xu Huang to lead an army to garrison Fancheng and Le Jin to lead an army to garrison Xiangyang, so as to stabilize the areas that had been occupied in the north of Jingzhou, and at the same time clear those counties that were still resisting. On the other hand, Cao Ren, Li Dian and Wenpin 20,000 light cavalry were ordered to attack Jiangling day and night. He personally led the army to follow. After the most reluctant, he ordered the left general Zhang Liao, the Jingzhou naval governor Cai Mao, and the deputy governor Zhang Yun to lead the Jingzhou naval division to march more than 30,000 people down the river to Xiakou, and attack Liu Qi, the Jiangxia Taishou who was still resisting.
When the news reached Jiangling City, Liu Bei was shocked and immediately convened all the generals to discuss countermeasures. Zhuge Liang put forward the strategic plan of "sticking to Jiangling as the foundation, contacting Jiangxia as a corner, and forming an alliance with Jiangdong as foreign aid". Liu Bei praised it and immediately made arrangements. Ordered Guan Yu to lead 10,000 sailors down the river to Xiakou to support Jiangxia Taishou Liu Qi to fight against Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's Jingzhou sailors. He ordered Zhang Fei and Wei Yan to immediately mobilize the people of Jiangling to close the city gates, renovate the city defenses, count the armaments, and prepare to resist the attack of Cao's army. At the same time, he sent an envoy to Jiangdong first, contacted Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin, and asked him to coordinate with him to facilitate the Sun-Liu alliance. In addition, he ordered the families of Sun Gan, Liu Feng, and Guan Ping'an to appease the people. He also ordered the outpost officer to report the movements of Cao's army once a day.
One command after another was issued, and the entire Gangneung Fortress was running frantically like a war machine with full horsepower. Everyone is going crazy. I wish there could be thirty-two hours in a day. But there are also people who are idle. That's our Young Master Zhuge . Young Master Zhuge was watching ants climb the tree in the mansion that Liu Bei prepared for his father at this time!
At this time, Zhuge Jun, the third uncle of Young Master Zhuge was also very bored, and he was recently on vacation when he joined the army, because he drank raw water and had diarrhea when he was marching with Liu Bei. Liu Bei specially took care of him and asked him to recuperate at home.
Isn't that boring? Seeing Young Master Zhuge playing in the mud under the tree, I wanted to tease him.
"Xiao Zhan'er, what are you playing? The third uncle will play with you! Zhuge imitated the tone of the child, trying to participate in the mud game of Young Master Zhuge . When I looked closer, I was surprised, this! What is it? Why do you think so much about the topographic map of Gangneung? But it's three-dimensional! The high mountains and deep valleys are clearly visible, and the layout of Gangneung Castle is staggered and extremely realistic. Here, Young Master Zhuge ignored him. Continue your own grand project.
"Zhan'er, what is this?" Zhuge is a little confused.
"Sandbox! I don't know what to do! I should also join the army! "Young Master Zhuge was greatly despised.
"What is a sand table?" Zhuge couldn't care about Young Master Zhuge 's contempt, because ...... It's fucking amazing! It's a miniature version of Jingzhou's mountains and rivers! This kid is incredible!
In fact, as Zhuge Liang's younger brother, one of the sons of the Zhuge family. Zhuge Jun is not mediocre at all. He possessed the same intelligence and intelligence as his two older brothers. Who says that people are genetically good? But it's still a bit of a mystery now. Because the things under Young Master Zhuge are the products of advanced civilizations that have spanned thousands of years, as a good child of the orthodox Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge does not have a strong ability to accept beyond the times at all. This is forgivable!
"The sand table is a three-dimensional map, which can also be understood as a miniature version of the terrain! The three-dimensional map makes it easier for generals to intuitively feel the surrounding terrain and landforms, so as to have a more reliable sensory foundation for command operations! It's too complicated to say that! You don't understand either! In fact, to put it simply, it is a three-dimensional map! "Young Master Zhuge has an innate contempt for Third Uncle Zhuge for his IQ. made Third Uncle Zhuge very helpless. However, Third Uncle Zhuge is now more interested in this thing called "sand table"!
"You're saying it's a military map? How do you do it? It's your first time in Gangneung! ”
"It's based on Daddy's military map! But Daddy's military map is too simple! I asked Fugui, he is from Gangneung and is very familiar with the terrain of this area! Combine the two, and you're done! ”
"Oh! So that's it! So what is this little white stone? "There is a smaller city not far from Jiangling City, and Young Master Zhuge has placed a small white pebble on the edge of the small city.
"Cao Jun's position tomorrow!"
"Cao Jun's position tomorrow? How do you know the truth! ”
"Dad's battle report said that the 20,000 cavalry of Cao Ren, Li Dian and Wen Ping, the vanguard of the Cao army, set off on the day we entered Jiangling, according to the approximate speed of the war horses of this era each hour, multiply the speed by twelve, and you will know the approximate position of Lu Dao tomorrow!"
"Multiply by twelve? Are you saying that Cao Jun will work day and night without resting at night? It's unlikely! ”
"Of course it's possible! Jiangling City is an important town in the south of Jingzhou, and a large number of strategic materials have been gathered, if Uncle Liu is allowed to gain a firm foothold here, it will be even more difficult for Cao Jun to capture Jiangling again! As Prime Minister Cao Dacheng, who has outstanding military talent, how could he not see this? Therefore, he will definitely strictly order his subordinates to rush to Jiangling City day and night, so as to take advantage of Uncle Liu's unstable foothold and his deployment is not enough to fight a decisive battle with us. In this way, Gangneung City is in danger! Ay! ”
"Not bad! That's the truth! So Gangneung can't hold it anymore? ”
"Not necessarily! Look here! Zhuge Zhan held a branch as a baton, "There is a small city named Dangyang here, and there is a mountain named Jingshan north of Dangyang." Jingshan Mountain is high and densely forested, and the road is narrow. But it's the only way to Gangneung! Cao Jun traveled more than 300 miles day and night, and by the time he arrived here tomorrow, he would have already been sleepy. If there is an ambush on both sides of the Jingshan Mountain Road at this time, it will definitely be able to defeat the Cao army! Defeating Cao Ren will not only greatly discourage Cao's army, but also buy time for us to calmly deploy the defense of Jiangling City! ”
"Wonderful! That's a great plan! Father Zhuge didn't know when he was standing behind the two of them, and after listening to Master Zhuge 's strategy, he suddenly shouted "Wonderful"! frightened Young Master Zhuge and Third Uncle Zhuge into a shock.
"Second brother, what are you doing? People are scary, they are scared to death! Third Uncle Zhuge complained dissatisfiedly.
"Yes! Daddy, if you scare me to death, are you responsible? "Young Master Zhuge is also very dissatisfied.
"Phew! Good luck! What a death at such a young age! Alive! "Father Zhuge is also very superstitious.
"Tong Yan Wuji, don't you know the way?" Young Master Zhuge rolled his eyes.
Father Zhuge was speechless.
