Chapter 690: The Battle of Red Cliffs

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The actions of Shanhai City were beyond the expectations of the four major city-states.

"You're going to help us, right?" Qin Feng looked at the representatives of the other city-states with a nervous expression.

"Brother Qin, rest assured, [Lingnan City-State] will definitely support it. After I returned, I discussed with the joint meeting of lords and transferred all 150,000 allied troops to the border of Zhaoqing County to confront the Tiger Ben army in Shanhai City. If necessary, we will even enter Zhaoqing County to echo your western battlefield. Ruan Ping was the first to speak.

Ruan Ping's statement was not surprising at all.

After Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia got married, Ruan Ping had become very stubborn, even demonic, always thinking about how to get rid of Shanhai City, and had become Ruan Ping's demon.

"[Xiangnan City-State] will also have a move, and the 100,000 allied troops stationed in Guilin County will immediately enter a state of war and be responsible for containing the Leopard Tao Army in Shanhai City." Caiyun Zhinan's statement is a bit ambiguous.

Caiyun Zhinan only guarantees to contain the Leopard Tao army, that is, if the Leopard Tao army does not take the initiative to attack, the allies of the [Shonan City-State] will also stand still.

In the end, the statement of the [Northern Sichuan City-State] on behalf of the Ximen officials was a little hesitant, "Uh, heh, yes, I must support it." In this way, the allied forces of the [Northern Sichuan City-State] will remain vigilant. ”

Half a year has passed, and the interior of the [Northern Sichuan City-State] has undergone unknowable changes. On the issue of the treatment of Shanhai City, there were disagreements within the city-state.

Even the big officials of Ximen are unwilling to directly conflict with Shanhai City.

When Qin Feng saw this, his brows furrowed.

Obviously, the statements of the three major city-states did not satisfy Qin Feng, and he said in a deep voice: "Of course, containment is to be contained, but is it possible for you to directly send troops to reinforce us?" ”

The enemy forces in front of the [Yunnan City-State] at the moment include the two legions of the Longxiang Army of Shanhai City and the Praetorian Legion, plus the field legion of Lingxi City, a total of 280,000 elite troops.

When the real war starts, it is not known if there will be other legions in Shanhai City participating in the battle.

For the [Yunnan City-State], the four legions were already a huge challenge. The city-state's allies numbered only 100,000, and if they were put together, they could gather 300,000 troops.

It's just that Qin Feng is self-aware, knowing that their 300,000 army is not the same concept as the 300,000 army in Shanhai City. The two sides are far from each other in terms of combat strength or weaponry.

Not to mention, Shanhai City directly used Bai Qi and Huo Quzhi to jointly command the two gods this time.

The cold-blooded butcher killed the god in vain, and the genius general rode the god Huo to get sick.

Just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy.

If you really want [Yunnan City-State] to face it alone, I'm afraid it's a little choking.

"This ......"

At this moment, even the south of the colorful clouds became fragmented.

"Brother Caiyun, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold!" Qin Feng looked anxious.

Caiyun Zhinan sighed, "Ahem, Brother Qin, it's not that we don't help." As you know, the military affairs of the city-states are resolved by the joint council of lords, which is not a one-word thing. If it is to deal with the direct military threat of Shanhai City, the joint meeting will not have much resistance. But if you want to send troops to reinforce friendly countries, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass. ”

"That's right, Brother Qin, you also have to be considerate of our difficulties." Simon's officials followed.

is the most active Ruan Ping, and there is no squeak at this time.

[Lingnan City-State] is not something that he Ruan Ping can say, and it is complicated inside. Especially in the past six months, Ruan Ping faintly felt that there was a force within the city-state, which was preparing to attack, just waiting for him to make a mistake.

Therefore, although Ruan Ping was eager to intervene in the Yunnan battlefield, he was powerless.

When Qin Feng saw it, his face was extremely ugly. On the one hand, he understands Nguyen Binh's concerns. Thinking about it from another perspective, if [Yunnan City-State] wants to send troops to friendly countries, I am afraid that it will be enough to choke.

On the other hand, Qin Feng felt chilled by his allies' death.

The emergency meeting of the four city-states ended up unhappily. The three major city-states only promised that the Tiger Ben Army and the Leopard Tao Army who were responsible for containing Shanhai City were indeed powerless as for the frontal battlefield.

"I can't say it, I can only fight to the death!"

Qin Feng sent his allies away, a hint of determination flashed across his face.

Shanhai City, the capital of southern Xinjiang.

On the morning of August 24, Ouyang Shuo personally saw off the Praetorian Guard.

The Praetorian Guard Legion led by Huo Qubing set off from the North City Gate and marched towards the Mulan Fortress. This scene fell into the eyes of the spies in various territories without any mistakes.

There is something in the wind!

In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo met with Zhang Tingyu and Wei Ying alone, and after getting the confession of the two, he finally agreed to the appointment of Pei Yun and officially appointed Pei Yun as the director of civil affairs.

Zhang Tingyu finally agreed to the appointment of Pei Yun, and he also had a plan in his heart. Because once he refuses, it will be very unwise to offend Wei Ying, the director of the Interior, and Pei Ju, the shou of Xingzhou County.

Moreover, in the Qing Dynasty, it was too common for a flattering act like Pei Yun to be. Even Zhang Tingyu himself has to cooperate with Emperor Yongzheng's preferences many times.

In this case, Zhang Tingyu has no reason to refuse Pei Yun's appointment. It's just that the gentleman's incomprehensible smile still made Zhang Tingyu's heart tremble.

In this way, two of Wen Xi Pei's families held important positions in Shanhai City.

[Name]: Pei Yun (King Level)

[Dynasty]: Sui Dynasty

[Identity]: Civil official of Shanhai City

[Occupation]: Civil official

[Loyalty]: 70 points

[Commander]: 45 [Force]: 30 [Intelligence]: 70 [Politics]: 80

[Specialty]: Civil Affairs (increase the administrative efficiency of the territory by 15%, increase the prestige of the territory by 10%, and increase the efficiency of the civil affairs of the territory by 20%)

[Evaluation]: Pei Yun, minister of the Sui Dynasty, Chu Shi Chen, with his father in the north, secretly invited to be Sui Neiying. Entering the Sui Dynasty, the position of Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, has been the history of thorns, and is known as capable.

At the beginning of Emperor Yang, he was called to be too often Shaoqing, good at serving the emperor's will, increasing the number of musicians to more than 30,000, and the squire of the Ministry of Relocation, and asked to set up a law to verify the household registration, and got more than 200,000 yuan.

The prison break is subject to the emperor's will, and Yang Xuangan's remnants of the party are governed, killing tens of thousands of people. The law and discipline are bad, and there are more than 100 people in the imperial history, and the ears and eyes are biased towards the county and the country, which is a great scourge for public and private.

The evaluation of Pei Yun in the history books is really not high.

Pei Yun also became the first official appointed by Shanhai City to have a stain in the true sense. Whether he can control such a "flattering minister" is also a test for Ouyang Shuo.

After all, when you arrive on the "Hope" planet in the future, there is no list of attributes, let alone loyalty. The loyalty, treachery, good and evil of his subordinates all depend on Ouyang Shuo's eyes.

************

August 25, morning.

When the tension in southern Xinjiang was raging, a systematic announcement disrupted the rhythm of the war.

"System announcement: China has successfully promoted fifty county towns, triggering the campaign system, and the sixth battle, the Battle of Red Cliffs, will officially start in three days, so stay tuned. Friendly reminder: The Battle of Red Cliff is a non-mandatory campaign scenario mission, and only territories promoted to county towns are eligible to sign up. ”

……

The Battle of Chibi, the most famous battle in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

If the victory in the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, including the famous Battle of Guandu, was a turning point for Cao Cao's regime, then the Battle of Chibi was a turning point for Sun Liu's regime.

After this battle, Liu Bei began to really get started, and the Jiangdong Sun clan also became famous.

It's just about this epic battle, because of the literary processing of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the outside world has misunderstood it.

First of all, Zhuge Liang's "straw boat borrowing arrows" in the Battle of Chibi is purely a fictitious thing.

But "straw boats borrowing arrows" is not groundless.

According to Pei Songzhi's note in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Wu", in the eighteenth year of Jian'an, that is, five years after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao led a large army south to attack Sun Wu.

One day, Sun Quan took advantage of the mist on the river to break into the front line of Cao's army from the mouth of the river in a light warship to observe the deployment of Cao's battalion. Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, seeing that the river was full of mist, and Sun Jun was majestic, he was afraid that he would not dare to fight, so he ordered bows and crossbows to be fired in unison, and arrows were shot at Wu boats.

Sun Quan's ship was soon full of arrows, and the ship was about to capsize because one side of the ship was heavy with arrows, and it gradually tilted and was about to capsize. Sun Quan ordered the bow of the ship to be turned around, so that the other side was hit by arrows, and after the hull of the ship was stabilized, Sun Quan commanded the warships to line up and slowly left, and Cao Cao realized that he had been deceived.

This is just a story that happened to Sun Quan, and it was just a quick move to make wisdom. Sun Quan did not plan to "borrow arrows", and the history books did not say that it was a grass boat.

"Straw boats borrow arrows" is apocryphal, and Zhuge Liang borrows the east wind, which is even more nonsense.

In fact, in the Battle of Chibi in history, the real commander was Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang basically did not even participate in the Battle of Chibi.

It's just that Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", has a special preference for Zhuge Liang that he grafted some things onto Zhuge Liang and deified him step by step.

Not only the battle of Chibi, but even the empty city plan was not done by Zhuge Liang.

Similarly, "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai" is also nothing.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there was no Huang Gai who used bitter meat tricks, but there was a real thing of deception. In order to ensure that the unarmed fireships would not be intercepted and that they could smoothly approach Cao's water village, Huang Gai surrendered to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao easily believed Huang Gai's surrender because Cao Cao believed that Huang Gai had been Sun Jian's subordinate and was older than Zhou Yu, and it was likely that he would be unwilling to submit to Zhou Yu.

In addition, Zhou Yu's fellow county Jiang Gan was sent by Cao Cao to persuade Zhou Yu to do the same, but not in the Battle of Chibi.

When Pei Songzhi annotated "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", he recorded it after the Battle of Chibi, and only Jiang Gan persuaded him to surrender, and there was no counter-plot of Zhou Yu.

And Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were not involved, and they were not even Cao Cao's naval governors at all.

Similarly, in the real Battle of Chibi, the difference in strength between the two sides is not as great as described in the romance. The argument that less is more is somewhat untenable.

If there are lord players, using the plot in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to speculate and prepare for the Battle of Chibi, they will definitely make a big mistake.

In a previous life, there were lords who made such jokes.
