Chapter 20 The Attack of the Eastern Wu Naval Army
As mentioned last time, the cell boss was frightened and panicked by Zhou Tai's fierce appearance, and Liu Hou frowned when he saw him like that, not only dissatisfied with the cell boss's appearance, but also a little worried and had a bad premonition.
He really hoped to recruit these fierce generals, even if it was one or two, but now, judging from the attitude of the generals of Eastern Wu, he was not optimistic about the prospect of recruiting them.
He used to look forward to how powerful his royal spirit was, and his tiger body shocked countless heroes and heroes to vote, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, this person does not like him at all, which makes him feel deeply shocked.
In this case, Liu Hou knew that he couldn't talk to them about anything to solicit, and he felt that he was very shameless, and staying here would only bring shame on himself, so he had to withdraw from the cell in a gloomy manner. The cell boss followed Liu Hou out of the cell.
"Look at your bear-like appearance, are you afraid that he will run out and bite you through the wooden railing? Besides, there are shackles and shackles that lock them up, and they can't move, so if you really want to pounce, you won't be able to beat even a person whose hands and feet are restricted. Liu Hou saw the frightened appearance of the cell leader, plus he lost face and had no place to get angry, so he couldn't help but teach him a lesson.
"Yes, yes, yes, the son of the world has learned yes." The cell leader said, "The subordinates know that they are wrong, and the subordinates will definitely not be afraid of them next time." ”
"The face of the Han Dynasty has been lost by you, they are scared of you, won't you get back to the field? You're the cell boss here, and you're up to you here, can't you think of a way to rectify them? ”
"What do you mean by ......?" The cell boss asked confusedly.
"Hmph, you're so stupid, I can't even think of it, you won't just give them a bowl of gruel every day? Hungry them for a few days, see if they still have the strength to scare you, and still have the strength to pretend to be an uncle here. ”
Liu Hou remembered what Pan Jun said in the barracks, and felt that what he said was not unreasonable, at least at this time, it was very suitable for the 7th general of Dongwu who was as smelly and hard as the stone in the toilet, and he was just angry with himself, so he directly introduced this method to the cell leader.
"This, this, son, didn't you command them before, to be kind to them? You see, I've been serving them well and making sure I don't deduct a penny.
"Hmph, I said that I would treat them well, but you, the dog killer, couldn't swallow this breath because he was bullied by them, and he held a grudge, so he announced his personal vendetta, used the public to help himself, and secretly gave them guilt behind his back, but these methods didn't show any scars on the outside. If I can't get my wounds, I won't cure you. ”
Liu Hou felt that he was instigating a pure uncle to commit a crime, and when he said these words to the cell boss, he couldn't help but think of a scene that often appeared in Hong Kong police and gangster movies he watched before:
After the police caught the suspect, they used a thick telephone book to pad the suspect and then hit him with a hammer. It is said that this can cause internal injuries, but the scars are not visible on the outside, so that the forensic doctor cannot detect the injuries and the executioner will not be accused of abusing the suspect.
After hearing Liu Hou's words, the cell boss was stunned for a long time, stunned because he didn't understand the meaning of Liu Hou's words, and he didn't even know when Liu Hou left. It wasn't until Liu Hou had been gone for a long time that he figured it out. Liu Hou's meaning was nothing more than to let him torture these unknown Dongwu people casually, but let them know that Yiqiē's behavior was all because he wanted revenge and had nothing to do with the prince.
In modern parlance, this is called: "This qiē is done by temporary workers, and has nothing to do with the organization"; In vulgar terms, Liu Hou wants to be a bitch and set up an archway; In the language of Journey to the West, this is called: I take advantage of the benefits, and you carry the black pot.
After figuring out what Liu Hou meant, the cell boss became excited, and like a forced prisoner who saw a naked beauty, he immediately rushed into the cell and began his journey of the Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty.
First of all, he separated the generals of Eastern Wu and imprisoned them, which meant that each of them could live in a single room, so that the jailers only had to deal with one person at a time, which greatly reduced the difficulty and risk of management, and helped the cell leaders to rectify them one by one without having to face their collective resistance.
Because he had just finished eating, he couldn't wait to use gruel to carry out the starvation strategy, so he used his brain to think of crooked ideas, not to mention, he actually came up with a lot of torture that could not be seen on the outside, what used feathers to swell the soles of people's feet, which made people laugh non-stop; What beats gongs and drums in their ears all day and all night to prevent them from sleeping; What are you throwing into a cell with a stinky footwrap that hasn't been washed in decades and smoking them, blah blah blah.
It seems that this cell boss is very creative and has a talent for torture. Of course, when using these tortures, the cell boss intentionally or unintentionally revealed that Liu Chan, the son of the world, wanted to treat them well, and he was insulted and couldn't swallow this breath, so he announced his personal vendetta here. And proudly claimed that he promised that these tricks would not leave scars on them, and if they wanted to go to the son of the world to complain, just go, and promised that they could not find evidence to accuse themselves.
After the cell boss used eighteen kinds of martial arts and changed his methods to torture the generals of Eastern Wu, they soon ended their leisurely vacation days and entered the mode of hell where life is worse than death. Rao is that they have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have also been tortured to death, and they have lost a lot of weight in a few days, and they don't look like they are in human shape, I believe that it won't be long before they will collapse, either surrender or commit suicide.
After Liu Hou left the cell, he remembered a game he had played before called "Three Kingdoms", in the game, if the military general was captured, he would be imprisoned in the cell, and if the solicitation was unsuccessful, he could also try to solicit them many times, or talk to them from time to time, so that they could increase their affinity with themselves, so that they could finally succeed.
So Liu Hou decided to follow the gameplay of the game, and tried it a few more times if it didn't work once, and he planned to go to see the generals of Eastern Wu every few days to see if there was a chance to persuade them to surrender. But he forgot that in the game, sometimes there is a certain chance that a captured military general will escape after being held for a long time.
Then, Liu Hou went to inspect the city defense. I met Guo Youzhi in a city gate tower, and after he learned about the city defense situation from Guo Youzhi, he forced him to rest. He didn't want to break his left and right hands.
Thanks to the hard work of Guo Youzhi and Fei Yi, the two left and right hands, everything in the city was in order, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, Liu Hou also went back to rest. There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Liu Hou was eating breakfast while thinking about today's work arrangement, and Fei Yi and Guo Yuzhi hurriedly ran over to find him.
Liu Hou knew something bad as soon as he saw their hurried appearance, and there must be something big that happened to make these two people anxious like this. Sure enough, the two came to Liu Hou and didn't even bother to salute, so they reported the situation to Liu Hou.
It turned out that as soon as the spies returned, the Eastern Wu army was attacking, and the sails on the river were like clouds, and thousands of sails were competing for a while, and it was impossible to count how many ships there were, and it was certain that there were more than a thousand. According to the words of the spy, the entire field of vision is densely packed with ships, and a thousand ships will only be more and not less, it seems that Sun Quan has invested a lot of money this time, and even took out his old bottom.
"MB, why is this Lu Meng so ignorant, and he dares to come over to find fault, isn't he afraid that I will tear up the ticket? We've got 30,000 meat tickets. After Liu Hou heard the situation clearly, he couldn't help but scold.
"It's not clear who the other party's coach is, it's still too far away, and it's on the river, and the spies can't get too close to see the flag clearly." Fei Yi said.
"It is estimated that it will not be Lu Meng, if he has the courage to attack us, he will attack the city at any cost, since he has chosen to retreat, he will not send a large army to attack again. It was when we were the most vulnerable, we missed that opportunity, and now it's only going to be harder. Guo Youzhi analyzed.
"Looking at the size of the fleet, it is estimated that at least more than half of the naval forces of Eastern Wu are in power, and such a scale is likely to be supervised by Sun Quan himself." Guo Youzhi added.
Liu Hou was shocked when he heard this, he really played big this time, he captured 30,000 elite soldiers and 7 generals, and the big boss came desperately to find himself.
Guo Youzhi's analysis is basically in place, Lu Meng's defeat this time has caused a huge shock in Soochow, in an almost foolproof situation, suffering such a big failure, suffering such a heavy loss, how can someone be responsible for this, as the coach Lu Meng is not allowed to bear this black cauldron. Rao is no matter how much Sun Quan loves talent, no matter how much he values Lu Meng, he has to punish Lu Meng.
As a result, after Lü Meng returned to Eastern Wu, he was immediately relieved of his position as the governor of the capital and put under house arrest. Lü Meng suffered this defeat, and was placed under house arrest by Sun Quan, his heart was depressed, and he borrowed alcohol all day to kill his sorrows, and he died of depression in less than two months.
Historically, Lü Meng died of illness in the second year after plotting to seize Jingzhou, and now he was disrupted by Liu Houyi, who died just a few months early.
Zhou Yu and Lü Meng were both two amazing and brilliant governors in the history of Eastern Wu, and in the original history, they both made brilliant military achievements and made outstanding contributions to Eastern Wu. The former defeated Cao Cao's army of more than 100,000 (claimed to be one million), consolidated the dominance of Eastern Wu over the occupied areas, and made the Three Kingdoms stand still, while the latter sought to seize a large amount of territory for Eastern Wu and greatly expanded the territory of Eastern Wu.
They are talented and accomplished, but they are all short-lived, and they all died suddenly when they were in the prime of life, when their careers reached their peak, which is really suffocating. I don't know if there is any conspiracy in this, or if this is a spell of Soochow, the two of them made the best explanation for the phrase "heavenly jealousy of talents".
"MB, this Sun Quan isn't planning to fight another battle of Chibi." Liu Hou was depressed, at the time of the Chibi War, Liu Hou was only more than 1 year old, at that time he really wanted to see the sails like clouds, the whole river covering the sky and the sun is a spectacular scene of warships, I didn't expect that this time it was his turn to be the warring party, and he would rather never see such a scene.
"During the Battle of Chibi, although Cao's army claimed to be one million, it was actually less than 200,000, and because of the inclusion of Liu Biao's Jingzhou naval army, he had 2,000 warships. At that time, there were no less than 1,000 large and small warships dispatched by Soochow, and a total of more than 3,000 warships were dispatched by both sides. It's a pity that I was in Yizhou at the time, and I didn't have the opportunity to see this great war, which is really a pity. Fei Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"After so many years of recuperation, Soochow vigorously developed the naval army, and we estimate that they already have at least 2,000 to 3,000 warships, of which the proportion of large and medium-sized warships is much higher than that of Chibi. 1,000 ships, with an average of 100 people each, Soochow dispatched at least 100,000 people this time. If the news of the spies is correct, Soochow has dispatched almost half of the naval army to attack this time.
Dongwu has a long Yangtze River and its tributaries to defend, and Yunmengze such a large body of water also needs to be garrisoned, and the remaining warships are left in such a large area, and the troops must be stretched. "Guo Youzhi.
"Hmph, I don't care if he's crazy or not, even if he's Ouyang Feng, I can't make a mistake. Now let's discuss how to deal with it. Liu Houdao.
"Who is Ouyang Feng?" Guo Youzhi asked. Fei Yi has long been accustomed to Liu Hou's mouth from time to time with some strange words, and he has long learned to ask questions about Liu Hou's fresh words, but Guo Youzhi has just arrived under Liu Hou and is not very used to it, so whenever Liu Hou bursts out with new words, he often asks for understanding.
