117 Goddess of Victory, Goddess of Peace (39)
Diaoyutai Legend 17117 Goddess of Victory, Goddess of Peace (39)
When Zhou Yu defeated Cao Ren, he besieged Nanjun (Jingzhou, Jiangling) for more than a year before forcing Cao Ren away and occupying Nanjun.
Now that the Battle of Fan Xiang has entered a stalemate, Guan Yu also intends to besiege Fancheng with heavy troops and achieve the final victory.
Guan Yu successively sent his confidants civil and military ministers and generals to Liu Feng of Shangyong and Wei Yan of Hanzhong, asking the Shu and Han armies in various places to take advantage of the current favorable situation and send troops to attack the Cao army, and at the same time asked for additional troops and support in the direction of Jiangcheng and Chengdu, especially the support of grain and grass.
However, all parts of Shu Han were actually sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and did not give a single soldier, a grain or grass to support.
Until this time, the Xiangfan War had been going on for four months.
The strange thing is that Guan Yu always thought that Shu Han's support army and the supporting grain and grass would definitely come, and they would definitely come suddenly.
Guan Yu decided that now was a golden opportunity to defeat Cao Cao, and the best opportunity to realize the national policy of "Longzhong Pair".
Guan Yu believed that his insistence in the encirclement of Cao's army and containing Cao Cao's most core elite troops in Cao's henchmen would lay the foundation for the sudden overwhelming attack of the Shu Han army, disrupting the deployment of Cao's army, and laying the foundation for victory.
Guan Yu's absolute trust in Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang became a fatal wound between himself being played by Zhuge Liang's use of power and stratagem.
Looking at this period of history, we can know that Guan Yu can retreat at any time during this long seven months, and during the five months on the Fanxiang battlefield, Guan Yu's army can return to Jingzhou at any time.
Even during the two months of Maicheng, Guan Yu could return to Jiangcheng at any time.
Clear-eyed people know at a glance that as long as Guan Yu withdraws from the battlefield, Zhuge Liang's conspiracy games will all fail and go bankrupt.
We can't help but be amazed by Zhuge Liang's wisdom and wisdom. This is definitely superhuman wisdom, the highest level of power and intrigue in the civil war. Those old people who sold you and you are still helping him count the money are beyond his (Zhuge Liang's) back.
Guan Yu continued to send his confidants to the rear of Shu Han to ask for support in the past seven months, and these generals included Liao Hua, Ma Liang, Yi and others, all of whom appeared in the later history of Shu Han, indicating that the generals sent by Guan Yu to ask for help all successfully reached Shu Han.
The problem is that the Shu Han controlled by Zhuge Liang did not give Guan Yu a single soldier, a grain and a grass at all, but Zhuge Liang was able to fool Guan Yu into always sticking to the center of the enemy's encirclement, so that Guan Yu did not think of making a plan to withdraw from the battlefield at all.
This fact shows that Guan Yu's action to ask for support from the rear of Shu Han was not like a stone sinking into the sea and there was no response, but there was another situation.
Zhuge Liang must constantly reply to Guan Yu and constantly encourage Guan Yu, and he must stick to the heart of the enemy: Guan Yu, you are the most important move to achieve the national policy of "Longzhong Pair"! Reinforcements will arrive soon, grain and grass will be delivered immediately, and the great victory of Shu Han lies in your (Guan Yu) persistence in fighting in the heart of the enemy.
Friends who have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" know that Zhuge Liang once took advantage of Guan Yu's personality weakness to wear a high hat to Guan Yu several times and fool Guan Yu several times. But those are well-intentioned.
But this time is completely different, Zhuge Liang fooled Guan Yu this time, he wanted to use Guan Yu's life to realize his power monopoly. Since Zhuge Liang destroyed all the historical materials of this period of Shu Han, we have no way of knowing how Zhuge Liang fooled Guan Yu.
We really regret the lack of these superb classic materials for the exercise of power in the civil war!
Over the past few decades, Guan Yu has experienced a hundred battles and experienced countless turbulent waves. Therefore, there is no tension about the current stalemate in the Fanxiang War. What Guan Yu wondered was: why the friendly forces were delayed, and why the grain and grass support in the rear was also delayed.
What Guan Yu is worried about is that there is no trustworthy person in the rear of Jingzhou to guard the town.
What made Guan Yu most anxious was the tension of grain and grass.
Since Guan Yu set out on the expedition, he has continued to achieve great victories, and the Jingzhou soldiers under his command have only suffered very few losses, and the soldiers of the Seventh Army of Yu Ban and Pang De have been incorporated as many as 50,000, almost as many as Guan Yu's own Jingzhou soldiers. Therefore, Guan Yu did not feel the lack of troops.
We know that the reorganization of an army cannot be completely preserved. It is necessary for the Jingzhou Army and the Seventh Army to be combined in a reasonable proportion. Therefore, Guan Yu urgently needed to transfer many backbone members of the Jingzhou Army from Jingzhou to participate in the reorganization of the troops. (This made Jingzhou's own defense force even less experienced backbone, and Jingzhou's defense became more superficial and lax, showing a hollowing.) )
The number of soldiers in the army doubled, but the grain and grass that Guan Yu could get not only did not increase, but showed a trend of cutting off the supply. Therefore, Guan Yu's biggest headache at this time is the problem of grain and grass.
The scheming Cao Cao saw at a glance the weakness of Guan Yu's Jingzhou army, and the supply of grain and grass one by one.
Cao Cao ordered the scouts: "Order General Jiangxia Wenpin to dispatch Jiangxia Naval Army to attack Guan Yu's Jingzhou army grain and grass supply fleet." ”
The scout answered, "Yes! Ordered General Wenpin to dispatch the Jiangxia Navy to attack Guan Yu's Jingzhou army grain and grass supply fleet. ”
Sima Yi nodded secretly, and praised in his heart: "Poison is nothing but food." ”
Scout Starry Night gallops.
Jiangxia is too guarded.
The scout held the arrow in his hand and shouted an order: "The prime minister has an order!" General Wen Ping immediately dispatched the Jiangxia Navy to attack Guan Yu's grain and grass supply fleet in Jingzhou. ”
Wen Ping took the arrow and said to the scout: "Please report to Prime Minister Cao Cheng, Jiangxia is already ready to go." Wen Ping immediately led the Jiangxia Navy to attack Guan Yu's grain and grass supply fleet on the same day. ”
Wen Ping was majestic, standing on the flagship command platform of the Jiangxia fleet.
Although the scale of the Jiangxia Navy is not large, it is very capable and trained by Wenpin.
Four warships sailed out in turn, followed by ten firewood and straw boats.
The firewood and straw boats are fully loaded with dry firewood and grass.
Wen Ping pointed straight ahead and said, "Rush to Jingmen Port at full speed!"
Jiangxia's four warships sailed through the waves and advanced at full speed.
Ten firewood and straw ships followed closely behind the warships.
Jingmen Port Wharf.
Mi Fang is directing the sergeants to load grain bags for three grain and grass boats.
Zhang Nan was commanding two warships to patrol the harbor.
Two more ships were parked in the harbor.
On a moonless night, the river outside Jingmen Port was pitch black.
Suddenly, a warship with its lights hanging high rushed towards the harbor.
When Mi Fang saw the warship, he hurriedly ordered: "The harbor and all the ships immediately raise the red light of battle!" General Zhang Nan found a warship of unknown origin rushing towards the harbor and immediately stepped forward to meet the enemy. ”
Zhang Nan ordered from the command platform of the warship: "The warship raises the red light of battle!" Immediately take on the enemy ships! Sortie. ”
Zhang Nan's two warships hoisted the red light of battle and left the harbor to meet the enemy.
Mi Fang hurriedly caught up with the command platform of one of the two warships parked in the harbor and ordered: "Raise the battle red light!" Immediately pull anchor and set sail and get ready for battle. ”
The sergeants of the two warships parked in the harbor caught up with the boats, raised the red light, and pulled the anchor.
Zhang Nan quickly met the enemy ship approaching at full speed.
The big flag of "Wen" on the enemy ship fluttered.
Wen Ping personally stood on the command platform.
Zhang Nan nodded and said, "It turns out that Jiangxia Wenpin is here in person!" ”
Zhang Nan immediately ordered: "The two warships of our army turned the rudder, blocked in front of the Wenpin ship, and attacked with all their strength with the advantage of the two ships!" ”
It is known that the lateral nature of the warship allows all sergeants to go on the offensive.
And the direction of the bow of the ship is not enough to accommodate many sergeants to attack.
Wen Ping ordered from the command platform: "Don't fight back!" All protected with shields. Turn the rudder and go around in the direction of Zhang Nan's stern. ”
The Yangtze River here is very vast, so it is very calm to play hide and seek on the river with one warship and two Zhang Nan.
The two ships Wenpin and Zhang Nan chased on the river.
Three warships with no lights quietly appeared in Jingmen Harbor.
The three Cao army warships galloped straight towards the two warships that Mi Fang was about to sail out of the berth.
The three Cao warships immediately blocked the passage of Mi Fang's two warships.
Mi Fang was shocked when he saw that his two warships were trapped in the berths and could not sail out to fight, and said, "Soldiers, try to rush out!" ”
Three Cao warships and two Mi Fang warships fought fiercely in close combat at the harbor anchorage.
Dense rain of arrows, the two sides fiercely attacked and defended each other.
Ten firewood and grass boats unknowingly sailed to the side of the three grain and grass transport ships that Mi Fang was loading.
Ten firewood and straw ships were docked next to three grain and grass carriers.
The soldiers of the Cao army on the firewood and straw boat each rowed a small sampan and left the firewood and straw boat.
The soldiers of the Cao army shot rockets at the firewood and grass boat together on a small sampan.
Rockets flew to the firewood boats.
The firewood and straw boat suddenly burst into flames.
Mi Fang was shocked and shouted, "Fire! Put out the fire! Grain and grass boats......"
Mi Fang's grain and grass boats, surrounded by Jiangxia's firewood and grass boats, also ignited a raging fire.
Sergeant Cao Jun on a small sampan rows towards Cao Jun's warship.
Sergeant Cao Jun on a small sampan boarded the Cao Jun warship.
The three warships of the Jiangxia Cao army raised the green light to retreat.
The three green-lit Jiangxia warships calmly withdrew from the harbor.
Wen Ping saw the raging fire burning in the harbor on the command platform, nodded and smiled: "Green light." Withdraw from the battle. Pick up the follow-up ships and return home. ”
Wenpin's warships also lowered the red light of battle and raised the green light for retreat.
Seeing that Jingmen Port was attacked, Zhang Nan set a fire, and hurriedly ordered: "Turn the rudder!" Hurry back to Hong Kong to fight the fire! ”
At this time, we saw a strange scene on the river, the Jiangxia warship with the green light calmly sailed out of the harbor, and the Zhangnan warship with the red light hurriedly and quickly sailed into the harbor, and the two hostile fleets passed by, but the well water did not interfere with the river water.
Wen Ping led the green light fleet back.
Wen Ping looked at the burning Jingmen Port and smiled.
