Chapter 835: Water Army
Guo Ma's rebellion was not an accident.
Zhonghui went on a northern expedition and captured Xuchang, and his prestige rose again, but he felt that the Wu army's combat strength was uneven, and he intended to abolish the system of tribal raids and leaders, and collect the military power controlled by Haoqiang to the imperial court.
coincided with Xiu Yun's death, so he began to try.
In fact, Xiu Yun's military power is also inherited from his father Xiu Zhi, and Xiu's family is just a small and powerful person in Jiangdong, so he is naturally the best object to try.
I didn't expect one stone to stir up a thousand waves.
Jiangdong Haoqiang naturally knew Zhonghui's intentions, and the Guoma Rebellion broke out against this background.
After receiving all kinds of support, Guo Ma's strength increased greatly, first attacked and killed the governor of Guangzhou, Yu Zhu, and then killed Liu Luo, the Taishou of the South China Sea, drove away Xu Qi, the assassin of Guangzhou, and coerced more than 30,000 young and strong people, claiming to be the governor of Guangzhou, and the momentum became bigger and bigger, and he also wrote to Jianye, provoking Zhonghui: "...... Jiangdong has its own Jiangdong old system, the prime minister insists on going his own way, and the people of Lingnan are all resentful, not because the horse wants to be chaotic, but because the situation is compelling, the prime minister is quite good at using soldiers, and the horse is waiting in Guangzhou!"
This recital is tantamount to a direct slap in the face.
Of course, Guo Ma does have the capital of arrogance, the Lingnan climate is harsh, full of insects, not suitable for large-scale operations, the troops under his command are all local natives, the time and place are favorable, and the people are all in their hands, and the south has been promised by Yang Ji, so he is naturally not afraid of Zhonghui.
If the army is defeated, he will directly defect to the Qin army in Jiaozhou.
When people have a way back, they naturally have to be crazy.
Jiangdong Haoqiang watched coldly, staring at every move in Jianye City, waiting to see Zhong Hui's jokes.
After Zhong Hui returned from Xuchang, he brought back a large number of Yingchuan disciples and installed them in various important positions in Jiangdong, which seriously infringed on the interests of Jiangdong Haoqiang.
Jiangdong not only has the four surnames of Lu, Gu, Zhu, and Zhang, but also Chen, Huan, Lu, Dou, Gongsun, Sima, Xu, Fu and other big and small heroes.
Jiangdong has been plagued by chronic diseases since the founding of the country, Sun Quan can't solve it, and Zhonghui can't solve it as an outsider.
What Haoqiang saw was not that Zhong Hui would take the scenery of Xuchang, but that he was blocked in Xuchang and could not advance or retreat, and nearly 10,000 people froze to death.
There was Guo Ma in the south, the Qin army in the north, and Jiangdong was stormy.
At this time, Jianye nursery rhymes arose: the moon will rise, the sun will be immersed, Jianye City will be broken, and the gold will be thousands of miles.
The native wood in the west, the gold felling wood in the east, the gold and soil meet, and the iron horse enters the east of the river......
All kinds of nursery rhymes are known to everyone during the day.
The people of Jianye were panicked, and a proverb that Qinggai entered Luoyang really made Sun Hao enter Luoyang.
Naturally, it also passed into the ears of Zhonghui.
Zhong Hui is proficient in "Zhou Yi", so he naturally knows what the nursery rhyme is talking about.
"A thousand miles of gold, it is clearly a bell character, the soil in the west is Lu Kang, and the gold in the east is a certain person, Zhong and Lu are fighting, and the iron cavalry of the Qin people is about to enter Jiangdong." Zhong Hui sneered a few times, "This kind of child's method is also to laugh and be generous."
These things are of course nothing to them, but they are extremely influential among the people.
Otherwise, it won't spread quickly.
Coupled with the increasing pressure from the north, even the army began to believe.
"Yong'an, Xiangyang, and Nanzhong are strong, but I'm afraid that they will attack Jingzhou soon!" Tao Huang was worried.
"The Qin people have always been ambitious, not only in Jingzhou, but also in Yangzhou and Guangzhou." Shen Ying arched his hand.
Zhong will fall, and the Tao family and the Shen family will definitely be liquidated by Jiangdong Haoqiang.
Just like the Bujia back then, once they lose power, there are no bones left that will be eaten immediately.
"The Qin army's attack on Jingzhou may be the opportunity we are waiting for!" Jiang Bin's eyes were blazing.
Although there is no evidence to prove that the Lu family is related to Guo Ma, the Lu family has become the head of Jiangdong's powerful powerhouses.
Many people are under the banner of the Lu family.
The Qin army's attack on Jingzhou was not a good thing for Zhong Hui.
The defeat of Lu Kang means that the entire Lu family is in decline, and there is no qualification to fight with Zhong Hui.
In fact, the Lu family was also mobilized unprecedentedly, Jiangxia, Chaisang and other Lu clan tribes gathered in Jiangling one after another, and the army in the hands of Lu Kang had reached sixty or seventy thousand.
Unlike Ding Zhuang and Minfu, who were temporarily recruited by Jianye's 200,000 people, these troops fought against the Shanyue people all the year round, and their combat power was much stronger than that of Jianye's army.
However, the problem in front of Zhong Hui was that if Jingzhou fell, then Jiangdong would not be able to survive.
The reason for the cold lips and teeth couldn't be simpler.
Zhong Hui has vigorously recruited northerners over the past year, and with the support of the Yingchuan Shi clan, the effect is remarkable, but it's a pity that Yang Zheng doesn't want to give him this opportunity.
"Jingzhou cannot afford to lose, and now destroy Guangzhou Guoma first." Zhong Hui said with a blank face.
Tao Huang and Shen Ying both breathed a sigh of relief, "The prime minister is wise."
Zhong Yi arched his hand and said, "Xuchang has become an enclave, I don't know how my father is going to clean it up?"
Yiyang and Lujiang surrendered to Qin and cut off the connection with Xuchang.
Although the Qin army did not move, there was no need to defend this city, and Jiangdong was worried about internal and external troubles, and it was impossible to go north to compete with it.
"Is there a good plan?" Zhong will ask the crowd.
Tao Huang and Shen Ying glanced at each other, "Xuchang will fall into the hands of the Qin people sooner or later, and it is better to exchange it according to the opinions below."
"Swap?"
"In exchange for half of Yuzhou for a Shouchun, the Qin people may agree." Shen Ying's voice became smaller and quieter the more she spoke.
In the face of large countries, the chips of small countries are getting smaller and smaller.
Yuzhou is not just a Xuchang for Zhonghui, it is his hometown, and it is also the foundation of the Yingchuan Shi clan.
Tao Huang said: "It is okay to send someone to talk, show weakness to the Qin people, delay time, and test the hearts of the Qin people."
Zhong Hui slowly got up from the soft collapse, paced back and forth with his hands, and said after a long time: "Yang Xingyun is the tiger and wolf of the world, insatiable, Qin and Wu must have a battle, you must not have a fluke heart, but there is no turning point, although Jiangdong has no enterprising heart, but has the power to defend, at this time, do not fight in the same room, pass the order, Jianye grain, grass, ordnance to Jiangling, the navy is ready to go up the Shuojiang River at any time, gallop to the aid of the general!"
"Yui!" The generals were shocked.
Jianye's counterattack also began, and Tao Huang, Tao Jun, and Tao Kang led 7,000 troops and 10,000 Chinese troops to the south to attack Guoma.
Shen Ying, Ding Wen and others will assemble the Jiangdong naval army.
Then send Zhuge Liang to enter Qin quickly to discuss the exchange.
Emperor Sun Jin issued an edict to appease the sergeants and people, and Zhong Hui organized the people to send supplies from Jiangdong to Jingzhou.
On the vast river, gather four or five thousand large ships of various kinds, such as Chong, Lou Chuan, Feiyun, Gaihai, Chilong, Chima, Chang'an, etc., the white sails are like clouds, the axis is hundreds of miles, like a long dragon covering most of the river, it is magnificent.
The Wu army on the boat showed off his might, waving flags and long ge, and shouting.
All fell into the eyes of the Qin army scouts in Jiangbei.
However, this is exactly what Zhong Hui deliberates, sometimes he must show his strength, deter the enemy, and boost his morale, "With this naval army, can Qin Mayan cross the Yangtze River moat one step?"
The Wu army's Northern Expedition has always pulled its hips, but its defense is extremely strong.
Cao Cao's 200,000 northern army, plus 100,000 Jingzhou naval troops, was still defeated by 30,000 Zhou Yu's naval army.
Over the past few decades, the northern army has marched south several times, but all of them have sunk into the sand and returned with hatred.
Seeing that the naval army was so imposing, half of the big stone fell in the hearts of the hundreds of civil and military officials in Jiangdong.
Zhong Hui's gaze swept across the battlefield on the river, and landed thoughtfully on the largest ships.
