Chapter 157: The First Battle of the Wu Army
Ma Yan's gentle and clever words made Zhao Shu's heart pound when he heard it. Zhao Shu couldn't let people drag him into the water like this, so he got up and said coldly: "I don't want the military advisor to have such ambitions, so Shu will be the king." β
Ma Jian stood aside with a smile on his face, and a fool could see that Zhao Shu was just pretending. Zhao Shu secretly hated this stinky boy for not giving him the steps, and sat down again, without saying a word.
Ma Tan said slowly: "Mr. should also know that the current strategy of the lord is to contain the military division by the law internally, and the prince and the marquis to control Mr. Elbow outside." The military advisor is willing to cooperate with Mr., I don't know what Mr. thinks? β
There is nothing wrong with the words, but I don't have a bottom in my heart to cooperate with Kong Ming. Although Kong Ming has always shown favor to himself, he has never been so direct and obvious, could it be that something happened in Chengdu? Zhao Shu couldn't help asking, "What?" Isn't Kong Ming filial piety in Chengdu? β
Ma Tan's face was stunned, and he smiled again: "Where does Mr. want to go?" How can the wisdom of the military advisor be within the reach of the Fa Zheng? β
"Hey, hey." The kid wants to play himself like a monkey? Zhao Shu sneered a few times and said, "Kong Ming's strategy is naturally not weak, but the soldiers and horses in Sichuan have never been in their hands. "Most of the soldiers and horses in Xichuan are led by Sichuan generals, although Kong Ming is very proud of his political strategy, but after all, he does not have much military power. Now that he has left Chengdu, presumably the battle between him and Fa Zheng has naturally become obvious, so he wants to win himself over.
Ma Tan smiled awkwardly and said, "Even so, it is not harmful to Mr. Why didn't Mr. agree to this mutually beneficial thing? β
Zhao Shu patted Pai's forehead slightly, if Kong Ming could really prevent Guan Yu from returning to Jingzhou again, it would naturally be a good thing for him, but Liu Bei would listen to his advice? Can Liu Bei watch himself dominate?
Ma Tan seemed to see Zhao Shu's doubts, and said: "The military advisor may not be able to stop Guan Junhou, but Xichuan should have money and food in the hands of the military advisor, and it is always okay to delay it for a while." As long as Mr. can recapture Jingzhou as soon as possible, then it is not Mr.'s? β
Zhao Shu smiled and said, "You are so optimistic about me? Calculate that I can defeat Lu Meng and take back Jingzhou? β
Ma Tan laughed and said, "Mr. uses soldiers, and he is definitely not the enemy of Lu Meng." Mr. will send troops tomorrow, and the soldiers of Jingzhou will fight with hatred, and they must fight to the death, and the so-called 'mourning soldiers will win'. Mr. one captured Jingzhou, and the other weakened Guan Junhou's soldiers and horses. No wonder the major general refused to fight. β
"It is worthy of the people next to Kong Ming." Zhao Shu made a gesture of invitation and said, "I will think about this matter first, and you will retreat first." β
Ma Tan saluted and said goodbye, but said in his mouth: "Mr. is not quick to make a decision, I am only afraid of General Guan's rescue......."
Zhao Shu interrupted him and said coldly: "If Guan Yu occupies Jingzhou again, what good will it do to Kong Ming?" Ma Tan's face sank, and he turned around and walked out of the account.
Zhao Shu sat down dejectedly, now that Ma Jian has admitted that he is Kong Ming's person, who else is available by his side? Yu Ban will not participate in factional battles, Huan Yi, yes, I have to think of a way not to let him return to Soochow. Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhao Shu asked the sergeant to prepare a meal and bring it in to eat. While thinking about how to attract talents, and thinking about how to break the enemy, it is really unpleasant.
As soon as I finished eating, I hadn't come up with any ideas, so I listened to the outside: "Is the gentleman there?" β
Zhao Shu heard Guan Xing's voice, and was shocked, didn't Yu Ban surround them in the mansion? He replied, "Anguo, please come in." β
Guan Xing entered in a military uniform, finished his salute, and asked loudly: "Mr. sent General Yu to lead troops to surround the mansion of the last general, I don't know why?" β
There are no sergeants in Zhao Shu's tent, there are outside, but when Zhao Shu shouted, Guan Xing should have restrained me early. Zhao Shu's heart sank, and he said: "All the soldiers are eager to fight, and I have no choice but to do it." β
Guan Xing asked again: "What if the eldest brother is willing to fight?" β
Zhao Shu shook his head categorically and said, "Even if the young general wants to fight now, he can only stay in Xiangyang." β
Guan Xing pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and said, "Why is this?" Does the gentleman want to be in charge of the army alone? β
"Exactly." Zhao Shu also replied loudly: "The major general is forced to fight, if the army does not follow the order, how can it be a blessing for the soldiers of the three armies?" Seeing Guan Xing's hand slowly loosen up, Zhao Shu said again: "An Guo, did I give you this sword?" β
Guan Xing lowered his head and asked, "Then what is it like to fight with Mr.?" β
Zhao Shu was overjoyed and said: "This is very good, and the important land of Xiangyang will be guarded by the young general and Wen Ze." An Guo went into battle with me to kill the enemy. Since Yu Ban is unwilling to get involved in the factional dispute, let him guard Xiangyang and not be afraid of someone making ghosts behind him. Guan Xing is relatively obedient, and it is also a good thing to separate his two brothers.
At the end of the second day, Guan Ping said that he was sick and did not come. Zhao Shu asked Yu Ban to take 5,000 Shangyong soldiers and horses to stay in Xiangyang with Liaohua's 2,000 personal guards. Zhao Shu took Huan Yi, Guan Xing, Ma Tan, Lin Yang and other Jingzhou generals to light up their military horses and go out of the city to the LΓΌmeng camp.
Although LΓΌ Meng lost several games in a row, Soochow was bound to win this time, stationed outside the city, and wanted to continue to attack the city. I don't want Sun Quan to send the clan Sun Jiao to bring people to the camp, which is called helping the war, which is really containment. Gao Ping took people to leave the barracks privately and disappeared. Lu Meng understood in his heart, but he was helpless, the whole army was unstable, and he didn't dare to attack the city rashly.
When Lu Meng heard that Zhao Shu led his men out of the city to challenge, he was worried that there was a trick and he was unwilling to fight. But he couldn't withstand the request of Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other generals, and took the two of them out of the camp.
In this battle, Zhao Shu was Guan Xing, and Lin Yang Jingzhou was the front. Jingzhou soldiers have followed Guan Yu to fight for many years, and they can be regarded as the elite of Liu Bei's army, which comes with hatred. Zhao Shu saw that Lu Meng led the soldiers and horses out of the camp, and without waiting for the Wu army to line up in a battle formation, he waved his horse whip, and Guan Xing and others stepped forward bravely with soldiers and horses.
Rumors have been spreading in the Eastern Wu army for several days, there are rumors that Wu Hou does not trust Lu Meng, there are rumors that ** was killed by Lu Meng, and there are rumors that Lu Meng excludes dissidents and does not harm his subordinates, and the army is in turmoil. As soon as they came out to fight, they were rushed over by Jingzhou soldiers and horses, although Gan Ning and others tried their best to support, how could they resist the revenge of Jingzhou soldiers and horses?
Nearly half an hour after the battle, the Wu army was defeated and gradually defeated. Sun Jiao saw that Lu Meng's army and horses were invincible in the camp, and wanted to take the first merit and take the men and horses of his headquarters to beat the drum to help him. With the addition of this new force, the battlefield situation changed rapidly, the advantage of the Jingzhou army gradually decreased, and finally the two armies were in a state of separation.
Zhao Shu and Ma Jian watched the battle from behind, and saw that Wu Jun sent troops and horses to help. Seeing that the Wu army had recovered its defeat, Ma Tan leaned forward and said, "The Wu army is overwhelming, why don't you withdraw the troops for the time being?" Seeing that Zhao Shu smiled and didn't answer, he whispered again: "Now Mr. doesn't seem to be able to finish killing all the Jingzhou military horses." β
Zhao Shu glared at him fiercely, waved his hand, and the flag officer next to him bowed, and then slapped his horse and danced the flag. Ma Yanzheng was puzzled, and saw a shout of killing behind Wu Jun.
