Chapter 199: The Battle of Yiling (47)

(Foreword)

Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

(Text)

Eastern Wu took Han Dang as the main general, Zhou Tai as the deputy general, Pan Zhang as the vanguard, Ling Tong as the merger, and Gan Ning as the rescue, raising 100,000 troops to reject Shu. Full flood

"Generals, Dongwu has 100,000 soldiers, why do you refuse?" Liu Bei frowned and looked at these Shu generals in front of him.

"Don't worry about this, my lord, I will lead 50,000 troops to meet it."

"The last general is willing to ask for war and refuse Wu."

"The last general is willing to go too."

All the soldiers asked Liu Bei to fight. The atmosphere in the military tent suddenly became high.

The real battle of Yiling has slowly begun, quietly waiting for everyone to appear.

"No, the Wu army by land and water, both armies have been hit hard by our side, Sun Huan is still trapped in Yiling City at this time, compared to Sun Zhongmou's dispatch of troops this time, he will be very cautious, this strategy to resist the enemy still needs to be considered in the long run." Although Ma Liang's opinion is extremely pertinent, the current Shu army is in full swing, so he naturally does not take Ma Liang's words to heart.

"Ma Liang's words are too cautious, now that our army is in full swing, why not be afraid of his 100,000 soldiers in Eastern Wu, and the last general is willing to ask for war to resist."

"The last general is also willing to ask for !! war"

All the soldiers were in high spirits, and they all wanted to set off to resist Soochow immediately.

"Everyone, listen to me, now the Eastern Wu army, the intention is to relieve the siege of Yiling, if the generals send troops, then Yiling soldiers are thin, can only besiege but not attack. At that time, the Eastern Wu continued to raise troops, and the siege of Yiling would not be broken, and at that time we would be attacked by the enemy. As far as I can see, it's better to take Yiling City as soon as possible, and then think of a strategy to defend against the enemy. ”

I know very well in my heart that although Dongwu dispatched five generals and raised 100,000 troops this time, Shu is indeed prosperous now, and 100,000 troops of Dongwu are not to be feared. But there is a more important aspect, at this time, the Eastern Wu has not yet enabled Lu Boyan, if once Lu Boyan is in charge of the military power of the Eastern Wu, it is impossible to capture Yiling City there. Moreover, the Shu army was in full swing at this time, and although Dongwu raised 100,000 troops, it did not dare to advance, so the most important thing today was to capture Sun Huan's Yiling City first, and then the strategic center could be placed on Lu Boyan's body.

"Your Excellency does not seem to have led troops to fight, although Sun Huan is trapped in Yiling City at this time, but this city can be stationed, and it is not an overnight thing to capture this city, if you can't attack the city, Wu soldiers will come again, won't it really be the enemy on your back?" Zhang Nan retorted.

"What Wen Jin said is very true, if Wu Bing arrives, won't we have no time to clone!"

"That's it!"

"That's true!"

The generals have already made up their minds to block the 100,000 soldiers of Wu first, although Eastern Wu has already recommended the scholar Lu Xun at this time, but after all, Lu Xun is only a scholar, and has no experience in the battlefield, so Sun Quan did not make up his mind to enable Lu Xun, but if the 100,000 Wu soldiers are blocked, the siege of Yiling City is still there, so in such a hurry, it is undoubtedly for Eastern Wu to enable Lu Xun, which has played a role in fueling the flames, so it is very difficult to reverse the situation of the Battle of Yiling, but at this time, most of the soldiers of Shu are high-spirited and can't wait, looking forward to a decisive battle with Soochow as soon as possible. It is impossible to slow down the pace of the attack now.

"I, Liu Xuande, have your help, I will be able to capture the Eastern Wu, return triumphantly, now the Eastern Wu Xing soldiers of 100,000, intended to relieve the siege of Yiling, since this is the case, we might as well defend as an attack, and retreat his 100,000 soldiers." It seems that Liu Bei has already made up his mind to pay attention.

"All the soldiers listen to the order, Yuanxiong and Yuanxiu, you two quickly return to the Yiling military camp and deploy defense."

Liu Bei said as he picked up a military order from the table behind him.

"The last will be ordered." Feng Xi and Wu Ban stepped forward to take the military order from Liu Bei.

"Wen Jin, you lead the army of five thousand to merge."

"The last will be ordered." Zhang Nan stepped forward to retrieve the military order.

"The rest of the people will follow me and march to Yiling."

"The people will be commanded." All the soldiers stepped forward one after another, and after the end of the military administration, everyone had to disperse.

Ma Liang saw that the generals left the military tent and Liu Xuande said: "Lord, the Eastern Wu raised 100,000 troops this time, but to throw stones to ask for directions, one is to relieve the siege of Yiling, and the other is to see the situation of our army. Soochow originally lived in the south of the Yangtze River, with sufficient food and convenient waterways. And although Cao Wei in the north seems to be immobile, it is inevitable that he will swallow Shu and destroy Wu, if Shu and Wu are both defeated, then they can reap the benefits of the fisherman, so they should quickly decide this battle. ”

"Although what you said is extremely true, but the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu, how can it be decided quickly?" Liu Bei seemed to be at a loss, and now if Zhuge Kongming was pointing out on the side, it would definitely be a different scene.

[Note 1] Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, and Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou that the soldiers fought for were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
