Chapter 289: Heart Thorn (Ask for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass!) )
Sun Quan was in a good mood in the past two days, Zhu Ran took the initiative to attack, defeated Cao Wei's army, and got two new warships, the fear of the Wu army soldiers for the ghost ship was swept away, and the morale was lifted again. For Sun Quan, the haze that shrouded his heart was also swept away with this victory. Zhu Ran's victory is enough to prove that the advantage of the water war is still in the hands of Wu, even if Wei has a new warship, it is still far from Wu in terms of overall strength.
Sun Quan said to Zhuge Ke and the others beside him with great emotion: "Lu Boyan is right, a few powerful warships are not enough to affect the entire situation. You see, weren't the sailors of the Wei army still defeated by us? New ships, we will have them soon. ”
Zhuge Ke and others were also very happy, the Jishu of the new warship was in hand, and the Wu people's advantage in water warfare was maintained, and the idea of Shu to force the Wu people to bow their heads with the warship Jishu naturally fell through. From now on, Wu Guo can be free from Wei and Shu, without being blackmailed by anyone, and can firmly grasp the initiative.
Sun Quan was happy, but he also felt that it was not enough, so he invited Fei Yi to come, and showed him Zhu Ran's good news very proudly, and then said unabashedly: "The captured Wei warships have been sent to Yuzhang, and they must soon be able to equip ten or twenty ships." ”
Zhuge Ke continued: "With the ability of Yuzhang Shipyard, it will not take half a year for our army to be able to equip this kind of warship ordinarily. Speaking of which, we have to thank the Wei people, if it weren't for their meticulous methods, we don't know when we would know this skill. ”
To Sun Quan's surprise, in the face of Sun Quan's provocation, Fei Yi was very calm, and said with a smile: "Then congratulations to the king." It seems that the sky is also going to destroy Wei, although the Wei army stole the jishu of the warship with treacherous tricks, but it still could not change the fate of their destruction, and they were defeated by your army. After being defeated by our army, in a few days, the sailors of our Han and Wu countries will be able to meet in Xiangyang. Jihua, who cut off the Han water, was able to complete it ahead of schedule. King, then, when will your army attack Xiangyang? Our army is ready to launch an attack on Fancheng. Just waiting to fight in concert with your army. ”
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face suddenly froze. "Fei Wenwei, what did you just say?"
"I said that our Jihua working together went well. Just waiting to attack Xiangyang. ”
"No, no." Sun Quan shook his head again and again, got up and walked quickly to Fei Yi: "You just said that you also defeated the Wei Army's water division?" ”
"yes." Fei Yi blinked "blankly": "The king still doesn't know?" ”
"When?" Sun Quan was in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to go up and grab Fei Yi's collar: "How is the battle going?" ”
The more anxious Sun Quan was, the more calm Fei Yi became. While looking at Sun Quanjun's fluster, he was grateful to Wei Ba for his scheming. If it weren't for Wei Ba sending someone to inform him of the news with a fast horse. He is going to be laughed at by the monarchs of Eastern Wu today. No matter how eloquent you are, as a messenger, if you do not have a strong force to support you, you are bound to be humiliated. Now that Wu Yi and Wei Ba have achieved a record that far surpasses that of Wu Jun, he can condescendingly look down on Jiangdong monarchs and ministers.
Fei Yi deliberately said in a light tone: "Actually, it's nothing. It's not that it's good to cooperate with the auxiliary generals. Attack Fancheng and block the reinforcements of the Wei army for the auxiliary generals? After preparations, our army first led 10,000 soldiers by Meng Da to Fancheng, he killed the Wei army Jingzhou Assassin Shi Huzhi and the 3,000 reinforcements led by him, and seized Dunse, and now besieges Fancheng. However, the army was outside, and the consumption of grain and grass was too great, so the rebellious general Wu Yi led 10,000 horses and a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance to Fancheng to support. Halfway through, he defeated the Wei navy and captured four Wei ships, and now he has arrived at Fancheng. Just wait for the auxiliary generals to arrive in Xiangyang, and then launch an attack together. King, when will the auxiliary generals arrive in Xiangyang? ”
Sun Quangu didn't answer Fei Yi's question, his blue eyes widened: "You captured the four ships of the Wei army?" ”
"yes." Fei Yi waved his hand disappreciably: "The Wei army is not used to water warfare, and it is not vulnerable at all. Our army defeated them with only one of the same building boats, and more than 3,000 Wei army sailors were wiped out, and no one survived, and nearly 2,000 were captured only by taking prisoners. ”
Sun Quan was dumbfounded, and the pride just now had now flown out of the clouds. Zhu Huan used nearly 10,000 people to meet the Wei army's naval division, although the Wei army was hit hard, but the results were compared with the Shu army, it was too far behind, what else was there to be proud of, he still proudly called Fei Yi over, wanting to show off in front of him.
Isn't that a slap in the face?
Zhuge Ke and others were also red-faced, and they were embarrassed. In front of Fei Yi's calmness, they were like children without a city government, and they were embarrassed and thrown home. In addition to being ashamed, Zhuge Ke was a little more vigilant. If Fei Yi wasn't bragging, then the strength of the Shu Army's sailors far exceeded their estimates. Originally, I thought that the Shu army's sailors in Hanzhong were few and outnumbered, and they were not the opponents of the Wei army's sailors at all, so the Wu army was responsible for controlling the Han River and cutting off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng.
In this case, there are only two possibilities, either the Shu army has been hiding its strength, or the strength of the Shu army is growing rapidly. The former is unlikely, because the number of warships, especially large building ships, is difficult to hide, and it is very difficult for the Shu army to hide a few building ships and not let the fine work find a single clue. The most likely is the latter, the strength of the Shu army is growing rapidly.
If this is the case, then the Wu army's advantage in water warfare still faces a huge threat, but this threat does not come from the Wei army, but from the Shu army.
This is an even greater threat.
Sun Quan soon realized this, and he immediately changed his attitude, took Fei Yi's hand, and said ashamedly: "Wen Wei, it's me Meng Lang." I wanted to make a joke with Wen Wei, but I didn't think about ......it" He shook his head and sighed: "Alas! Thankfully, we're allies. ”
Fei Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "What the king said is very true. Han and Wu are allies, whether you win the war or we win the war, it is something to celebrate. He slowed down, and then continued: "Great King, Wei Ba is the handsome of the younger generation of my Han Dynasty, and the auxiliary generals are the best generals under the command of the Great King, and their joint attack on Wei is a rare opportunity to conquer Xiangyang." Xiangyang started, Wanluo was under threat, and the role was immeasurable. Now that our army is ready to attack Fancheng, I don't know ...... Auxiliary General"
Sun Quan frowned, not knowing how to answer Fei Yi. Lu Xun has just arrived in Dangyang now, and there are still more than 300 miles from Xiangyang, and with his current marching speed, he will not be able to reach Xiangyang in ten days. Sun Quan also knew that Lu Xun wanted the Shu army to attack first, and when the two sides of Wei and Shu were almost consumed, then depending on the situation, to see if there was a possibility of conquering Xiangyang. But he couldn't say these words to Fei Yi, otherwise he would definitely be laughed at by Fei Yi.
"He is on his way to Xiangyang, and he will be able to reach Xiangyang soon." Sun Quan gave a very vague answer.
Fei Yi understood the meaning of this sentence too well, and he nodded meaningfully: "The auxiliary general is scheming, and he is serious with his troops, which is understandable. However, fighters are lost in an instant, and if they seek stability too much, they will often miss great opportunities. At this point, it is still necessary to say that Zhou Gongjin and Lu Ziming were more courageous back then. The poetry and books of the auxiliary generals are heirlooms, but after all, they still think too much. ”
Sun Quan smiled and patted the back of Fei Yi's hand: "Wen Wei, you're thinking too much." ”
Fei Yi bowed slightly: "I also hope that I am too worried." ”
Sun Quan didn't answer his words again. Fei Yi's words were hidden in the provocation, and he knew it very well. But what Fei Yi said pierced him in the heart. Although he didn't suspect Lu Xun, he had to be wary of those Jiangdong clans.
After Fei Yi retired, Sun Quan had a gloomy face and didn't speak for a long time. Hu Zong and the others who were accompanying him didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of upsetting Sun Quan. They all knew Fei Yi's intentions, but they also knew that Fei Yi's words hit the nail on the head.
"King, Jingzhou is the gateway to Jiangdong, and Xiangyang is the gateway to Jingzhou, and there is no room for loss." Hu Zong said cautiously: "The strength of Shu is insufficient, so it can only assist our army, which is a God-given opportunity for many years." If you can't take this opportunity to occupy Xiangyang, you will ...... in the future."
Hu Zong dragged out his voice and did not say any more. Sun Quan bowed slightly, agreeing with him. Hu Zong was right, starting from his brother Sun Ce, he had been attacking Jiangxia on the grounds of killing Huang Zu and avenging his father, in fact, everyone knew that if they wanted to sit in the southeast, they had to seize Jingzhou. Only by seizing Jingzhou can we control the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and ensure the security of Jiangdong. Yiling is the west gate of Jingzhou, Xiangfan is the north gate of Jingzhou, and Lü Meng weishenme is the main attack on Guan Yu? It was because Yiling was already under the control of Shu at that time, and if Xiangfan was controlled by Shu again, then Wu's situation would be dangerous.
It's a pity that after killing Guan Yu, Xiangyang still fell into the hands of Cao Wei, which was a thorn in the heart of Eastern Wu, they always wanted to seize Xiangyang, but they have not been able to succeed. Because with the strength of Wu, after guarding against Shu in the west, there were not enough troops to attack Xiangyang. This time Wu Shu joined forces, it was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Shu not only did not threaten his back road, but also mainly undertook the task of attacking Fancheng and blocking the Wei army. Now that Hanshui is basically under the control of Wu Shu, the time is ripe to attack Xiangyang.
At this time, Lu Xun hesitated and seemed a little incomprehensible.
"Let Zigao (Sun Deng) come." Sun Quan hesitated for a long time: "Let him go and see what Lu Xun's plan is." ”
Zhuge Ke raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly said, "King, the prince should not be taken lightly." ”
Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Ke and explained, "I want him to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield. ”
Zhuge Ke shook his head: "King, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and he should not be moved lightly." There has always been only the Son of Heaven personally conquest, and the prince is in charge of the country, and there is no reason for the prince to go on the expedition. ”
Sun Quan sighed and said helplessly: "Then let Zizhi (Sun Worry) go, I think he will definitely be interested." ”
