21. Diaoyutai Zanwu Sheng (4)

On the Diaoyu Tai.

Lu Xun said: "When Cao Cao saw that Cao Ren Fancheng was besieged by Guan Yu's Jingzhou army, it was very dangerous, and he immediately dispatched Cao Cao's elite Seventh Army in Hanzhong in March to Fancheng to aid Cao Ren and fight against Guan Yu. At this time, it was already August of that year, the Han River swelled, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, captured Yu Ban, and beheaded Pang De. All of Cao Cao's elite seven armies were all under the command of Shun Guan Yu. ”

The water princess also said: "At this time, China is shaking, and the anti-Cao struggle is in full swing in various places. Although Cao Cao gathered hundreds of thousands of elite troops in Mopi, he did not dare to rashly go out to fight a decisive battle with Guan Yu's Jingzhou army. Cao Cao had nothing to do and was ready to move the capital from Xuchang to Zhencheng. ”

Please pay attention to why Cao Cao gathered hundreds of thousands of elite troops in Mopi at that time, but he did not dare to rashly go out to fight a decisive battle with Guan Yu's Jingzhou army (at that time, Guan Yu's Jingzhou army had 50,000, and after defeating the Seventh Army of Yu Ban Pang De, Guan Yu had 100,000 people under his command. ）？ This is an eternal mystery, which will be solved in detail later in this article during the Battle of Xiangfan.

Lu Xun nodded and said, "At this time, Sima Yi persuaded Cao Cao to hold on a little longer. Because there are still Soochow aspects, there are still variables. So Cao Cao gritted his teeth and ordered Xu Huang to rush to Fancheng immediately (Xu Huang only had 3,000 recruits in Fancheng) to rush to Cao Ren's aid. ”

Zhao Yun said: "In the first month of that year, Cao Ren once hurried from Fancheng to Wancheng to quell the rebellion, and after Wancheng slaughtered the city, he hurried back to Fancheng to garrison. So at that time, Wancheng was a defenseless city. In the face of Shangyong's Liu Feng's army, Cao Cao urgently transferred Xu Huang to lead 3,000 recruits to garrison Wancheng. Now Cao Cao is in danger, and urgently dispatches Xu Huangchi to help Cao Ren in Fancheng. Xu Huang led three thousand recruits to pour out of the city, so Wancheng was an empty city at this time. If Liu Feng obeyed Guan Yu's fake festival at that time, cooperated with Guan Yu to fight, and led the army straight down, he could take Wancheng in one fell swoop without blood. ”

Lu Xun said with a smile: "If Shangyong Liu Fengjun takes such an action, then Liu Fengke will be the number one lucky general under Liu Bei." Liu Feng sent troops to Shangyong in May, and Shangyong's Cao army surrendered and sacrificed the city, and the soldiers obtained the strategic point of Yong without blood. At this time, Liu Feng was strong in Shangyong (Liu Feng had about 50,000 people in Shangyong), and if he sent troops to Wancheng in August, he would also take Wancheng, an empty city. This Wancheng is Cao Cao's confidant, directly threatening Cao Cao's capitals Xuchang and Luoyang. At that time, Cao Cao's relocation of the capital was already something that had to be done. During the panic period when Cao Cao hastily moved the capital, Liu Feng's army was likely to take Xuchang without blood, just as General Sun Polu sent troops to occupy Luoyang alone. In this way, Liu Feng's army took three cities in a row without bloodshed, smashed Cao Cao's heart and made great achievements. Liu Feng's position in Liu Beijun will be the same as Guan Zhang's. With this God-given opportunity, Liu Feng did not dare to send troops, which is indeed intriguing. ”

The water princess also smiled: "If the sky doesn't take it, the sky will punish it!" ”

Lu Xun smiled: "Now you can know that this sentence is also suitable for Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei. ”

Zhao Yun sighed: "At this time, the first emperor didn't know where Zhuge Liang was sent to escape the summer. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs could not meet the first emperor at all. And Zhuge Liang's horses kept coming and going, hurrying back and forth. All units are first-class combat readiness, but they are strictly forbidden to leave the barracks. There are even more clear orders: those who talk about hearsay, those who spread military information in other places, behead! ”

The water princess shook her head and said, "If I was by Liu Da'er's side at that time, could Liu Da'er be so blinded?" ”

Lu Xun nodded and said: "That's what I said, if the princess returned to Jingzhou at that time, or Shangyong, or Hanzhong, or CD, the outcome of the Fanxiang War would be completely different." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Success is also Zhuge and defeat is Zhuge , this is true." ”

Lu Xun said: "When Guan Yu won the great victory of the flooded Seventh Army, my lord,"

Lu Xun glanced at the water princess and said, "Your second brother (Sun Quan) suddenly urgently and secretly summoned Sun Jiao, Lu Meng, Quan Cong and me and others. ”

Jian'an 24 August.

Sun Quan's army is in the big tent.

Sun Quan said to Sun Jiao, Lu Meng, Quan Cong, and Lu Xun with a grim face: "Do you know, why did Gu suddenly summon a few of you? ”

Quan Cong said: "I didn't expect the lord's decision to send troops to Hefei so far-sighted and wise, I didn't expect it." Now Guan Yu is flooding Cao Cao's Seventh Army in Fanxiang, and the momentum is flourishing. There is not much left of Cao's army in Hefei, does the lord want to increase his troops in the direction of Hefei? ”

Sun Jiao said: "Take Hefei, march into Xiapi, and now it is a three-finger pinching snail to take it one by one!" ”

Sun Quan shook his head and smiled: "The scouts sent by Lone to various places have reported one after another. I want to listen to the military reports of scouts from all over the world with you. Fancheng direction. ”

Scout A came in and reported: "Lord Qiqi, now the flood is flooding Fancheng, and it is only three boards high from the head of Fancheng. Cao Ren had only a few thousand people in Fancheng. Guan Yu battled the ship and besieged the city. ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Okay." Immediately return to the horse and explore again. Wancheng direction. ”

Scout A is out of the account.

Scout B came in and reported: "Lord Qi, Wancheng Xu Huang's whole army rushed to the aid of Fancheng. Wancheng no longer has any troops, and now it is an empty city. ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Okay." Immediately return to the horse and explore again. Upward direction. ”

Scout B is out of the bill.

Scout C came in to report: "Lord Qi, the direction of Shangyong is calm, Liu Fengjun has no movement, and there is no sign of sending troops to Wancheng at all. ”

Sun Quan specifically asked: "Is there a military rectification activity?" ”

Scout Bingyu reported: "Lord Qiyu, there seems to be internal friction between Liu Fengjun and Meng Dajun, and there is no sign of external military action at all. ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Okay." Immediately return to the horse and explore again. Hanzhong direction. ”

Scout C is out of the account.

Scout Ding came in to report: "Lord Qi, the Wei Yan army in Hanzhong is very tightly controlled, and no one goes out in the barracks. But there was no sign of a large army. ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Okay." Let's go back and explore. Langzhong direction. ”

Scout Ding out of the account.

Scout Wu came in and reported: "Lord Qi, Zhang Feijun in Langzhong is very strictly controlled, no one goes out, and there is no sign of the army. ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Okay." Let's go back and explore. ”

Scout E withdraws from the account.

Sun Quan smiled and asked the generals, "What do you think?" ”

Lu Meng, Sun Jiao, Quan Cong, Lu Xun and others looked at each other and said, "This is really strange! ”

Sun Quan said with a smile: "The Shu Han side has no military action at all, which is completely contrary to the posture of denouncing Cao Cao a month ago, and it seems that they are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Xiangfan's Guan Yu Jingzhou Army is completely fighting alone, and the situation is very strange, so you can't help but guard against it! ”

Lu Meng, Sun Jiao, Quan Cong, and Lu Xun thought silently.

Sun Quan looked at the generals.

Lu Xun thought for a while and said, "Lord, Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei and coerced CD Liu Zhang to surrender the city. Liu Bei named Ma Chao as the general of Pingxi, the former Marquis of Ting, and the governor of Linfang. Liu Bei called the queen of Hanzhong, and named Ma Chao as the left general. Lined up with Seki. Liu Bei personally arranged for Ma Chaodu to be depressed, which was very meaningful. The Ma Chao Legion is all iron cavalry, and the impact is extremely strong. Linfu is only two or three hundred miles away from Jiangling. This Ma Chao legion has a very critical impact on the current situation. Does the lord have any information about the Ma Chao Legion? ”

Linfang, closely adjacent to Guan Yu's Jingzhou (Nanjun), connected with Maicheng, is half a year later, Guan Yu went to Maicheng to be killed.

Sun Quan slapped his forehead and said, "Bo Yan reminded me well!" The movement of this super army is very important, and we must grasp it. Come. ”

The scout had already entered the account and saluted Sun Quan: "The lower official is here." Ask the lord to give the order. ”

Sun Quan ordered: "You must quickly find out the situation in Jingzhou, you must find out the movements of the Ma Chao Legion, and you must verify the location of the Ma Chao Legion. ”

The scout has been decreed: "Order! ”

The scouts have stepped back.

Now it's back to Diaoyutai.

The water princess asked: "What was the place where Liu Daer arranged for Ma Chao to be stationed in Linfu back then?" ”

Zhao Yun said bitterly: "Linfu is the place where General Guan Yu was captured and ascended to heaven. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "It turns out that Liu Da'er is indeed wise. If the Ma Chao Army was indeed stationed in Linfu during the Fan Xiang War, would Eastern Wu still take Jingzhou? ”

Lu Xun shook his head and smiled and said, "The princess said she laughed. If Ma Chao's army was stationed in Linfang at that time, Linfu and Jiangling were only two or three hundred miles. The Ma Chao army is like a tiger and a wolf, and Guan Yu's army that has won a hundred battles is in Fancheng. At this time, even if Jingzhou is an empty city, it is also a big trap, if anyone dares to enter Jingzhou, under the attack of Guan Yu and Ma Chao, there will be no place to die. ”
