Chapter 52: The Class Master Returns to the Dynasty

In the first battle of Guangzhou Bay, Jiang Wei successfully captured 30,000 Dongwu pioneers and 3,000 Dongwu sailors.

The military rations of the Eastern Wu army totaled 60,000 stones, and most of them could be used except for some of them that were eroded and lost by the sea.

In addition, the military rations and treasures that were originally removed from the treasury of Guangzhou City Government were also captured and confessed by the Eastern Wu, and after they were found, they got more than 10,000 baht and 30,000 stone of grain.

All of a sudden, the city of Guangzhou became abundant.

In addition, 30 ships were captured, which can continue to be used after a little repair.

However, dozens of warships were damaged by the typhoon, and the remaining 240 or so ships can still be used after repairs.

In this way, the strength of the Shu army's sailors has suddenly made a qualitative leap, and it can almost compete with the Dongwu sailors.

Zhuge Ke, the pioneer coach of Soochow, received a warm reception from Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei knew that if everything followed the history he knew, this Zhuge Ke would become the first powerful minister of Eastern Wu many years later, monopolizing military and political power, and one person would be above ten thousand people.

Although Zhuge Ke is now a captive, he does not rule out the possibility of his comeback in the future, and Jiang Wei also has the intention to push Zhuge Ke and let him gain a firm foothold in Eastern Wu, so that he will become the first scourge of Wu in the future.

In addition, Zhuge Ke has a good father, I am afraid that Dongwu will definitely rescue him, and he can also take the opportunity to knock down a sum of money.

In this way, you can not only form a good fate, but also bring a lot of benefits, why should Zhuge Ke be a prisoner?

Not to mention anything else, after all, this person is still Zhuge Zhan's cousin, the eldest nephew of his mentor Zhuge Kongming, even if he looks at this kinship, he should take more care of Zhuge Ke.

After confirming that Zhuge Ke didn't know martial arts and didn't understand the law, Jiang Wei never imprisoned Zhuge Ke at all, and directly handed Zhuge Ke over to Zhuge Zhan.

He believed that Zhuge Ke would definitely not be able to escape from Zhuge Zhan, who knew Qimen Dunjia. Take this opportunity to bring the two cousins closer.

After all, after this battle, Jiang Wei judged that Dongwu and Shu Han should call off the army and make peace. There are three reasons for Jiang Wei's judgment:

One is that from a strategic point of view, the overall situation in the world is still dominated by Cao Wei's family, and it is difficult for both Eastern Wu and Shu Han to withstand the pressure of Cao Wei alone.

If Wu Shu continues to compete, he can only end up fighting with a sandpiper and a fisherman, which is unacceptable to Wu Guo. There are many well-educated people in Wu State, and they will not fail to see through the power of this.

The second is that from the perspective of national strength, after learning Jiang Wei's combat effectiveness, Eastern Wu may not dare to send troops to attack Jiaozhou.

It's good to win Jiang Wei, it's nothing more than to recover Jiaozhou, but if he loses, and loses tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou, it will definitely cause a rapid decline in the national strength of Eastern Wu.

The third is from the perspective of interests, Jiangdong is rich, and Jingzhou can be regarded as rich in people, but Jiaozhou can basically only be regarded as a wild land, not the lifeblood of Dongwu, even if it is lost, it will not lose too much economic benefits.

Based on the above three points, Jiang Wei concluded that this battle was basically over, and he expected that Eastern Wu would soon send an envoy to Shu Han to sue for peace.

Therefore, in the Shu Han army, not only Zhuge Zhan was very good to Zhuge Ke, but even Jiang Wei was very polite to Zhuge Ke, often visited Zhuge Ke, and often boasted that Zhuge Ke was the first prodigy of Eastern Wu, and his talent was not under his mentor Zhuge Liang.

Jiang Wei said: I was originally going to lose, but I took shit luck, the typhoon encountered by the Wu army, I picked up such a big bargain in vain, if it weren't for this, the two armies would face each other, and I would definitely not be Zhuge Ke's opponent.

He admires Zhuge Ke's ability very much, he can be in a high position at a young age, and he can subdue tens of thousands of Danyang Shanyue when he rides into Danyang at fifty. It shows that Zhuge Ke is a great talent, and a rising star in the future of Dongwu.

And Zhuge Ke is also brilliant, widely known in the Eastern Wu literary circle, and Gu Tan, Zhang Xiu and others to the crown prince Sun Dengshi preaching arts, and for the prince's three friends. It can be seen that Zhuge Ke is a genius in the world who is both civil and military! If it weren't for the fact that the two belonged to different countries, he really wanted to marry Zhuge Ke as brothers with different surnames.

Zhuge Ke has always thought highly of himself, but now he was praised by Jiang Wei for such a super invincible rainbow fart, and suddenly felt that he did not lose to Jiang Wei, but to this unexpected hurricane, which is the destiny of heaven that cannot be defeated by man!

So Zhuge Ke, who was once depressed, soon returned to his confident and personable appearance. even said that the matter of sworn brothers can also be considered.

As for Zhu Yi, there was no such treatment, and under Jiang Wei's arrangement, he was directly locked up in the prisoner camp, locked up with the captured Dongwu soldiers, and ate the worst coarse grain.

Jiang Wei also occasionally took Zhuge Ke to visit the prisoner camp, and every time he went, he would bring a lot of food made of refined grains, and let Pan Ping publicize it widely, saying that these foods were given to the captives by General Jiang Wei for the sake of Zhuge Ke's face, and that the soldiers should thank Zhuge Ke for his kindness.

In this way, Zhu Yi began to wonder if Zhuge Ke had secretly defected to the enemy?

Zhuge Ke seems to have completely forgotten himself, Zhuge Ke eats and drinks spicy food every day, and uses the grain of Shu to buy people's hearts for himself.

Second, Zhuge Ke talked and laughed with Jiang Wei, Zhuge Zhan and other Shu generals, where there was a little bit of captivity, it was completely the same treatment as the Shu generals.

This seed of doubt was deeply engraved in Zhu Yi's heart, and he thought to himself:

"This Zhuge Ke was high-spirited in the past, and he thought that he had been a hero for many years, but he didn't expect Zhuge Zhan, who secretly colluded with Shu, to do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy, no wonder the sailor would inexplicably enter the port of Guangzhou, no wonder he became a prisoner inexplicably, hum! If he can escape back to Soochow one day, he must personally expose Zhuge Ke, the villain! ”

After a few days of repair, Jiang Wei received a report from Liang Xu from Tangmalai, saying that Ma Zhong and Fu Tong led an army of 10,000 to Jiaozhi, which was sent by Chengdu to help Jiang Wei.

The letter also said that Liu Chan, the emperor of Shu Han, had issued a holy decree to enter Jiang Wei as the general of the Great Han Wei and lead the history of Liangzhou Assassination.

The rest of the meritorious personnel will be rewarded after Jiang Wei returns to Chengdu. The eunuch who gave the decree was also in the city of Cochin.

In addition, Guan Suo and Shi Kuang have also pacified the two counties of Jiuzhen and Rinan, and led the army back to Jiaozhi City, Liang Xu asked in the letter whether to ask Ma Zhong, Fu Li, Guan Suo and others to go to Guangzhou, gather with Jiang Wei, and prepare for a big battle with Eastern Wu?

Since Jiang Wei had already made the judgment that the war could not be fought, he immediately replied to Liang Xu, asking Ma Zhong and the others and the eunuch who issued the decree to wait in Jiaozhi City, and he would return to Jiaozhi in a few days.

Then Jiang Wei convened Hua Wei, Zhang Xue, Zhuge Zhan, Guan Yinping and other generals to discuss the matter of the class teacher.

When everyone heard that Jiang Wei was preparing to return to the dynasty, everyone was surprised, especially Zhuge Zhan, who thought that after the 30,000 vanguard armaments of Eastern Wu were captured, Sun Quan would definitely use all his strength to attack him in Eastern Wu, so he was very curious why he chose to return to the dynasty with a class teacher?

Jiang Wei told everyone his analysis, and everyone felt that what Jiang Wei said was reasonable.

So Jiang Wei began to arrange defensive tasks.

He ordered Zhang Xue to lead 5,000 Wudang Fei troops to continue to garrison Guangzhou and take care of the prisoners of Eastern Wu. Then 2,000 people under Pan Ping's command, and 8,000 people under Hua Hu's command were assigned to Zhang Xu's dispatch, leaving 15,000 troops in Guangzhou to garrison.

Because of the ordnance armor of 30,000 soldiers and horses obtained from the captives of Eastern Wu, the 10,000 barbarian soldiers who participated in the battle of Guangzhou under the command of Hua Hu have already changed their weapons and armor, except for their dark skin and still like to paint their faces, they have already become no different from the rest of the soldiers, and there is a faint feeling of an elite division.

Jiang Wei felt that this 15,000 troops were enough to hold Guangzhou. In addition, after the matter of Jiaozhi is completed, he will also transfer 5,000 barbarian troops into Guangzhou, and Guangzhou will be safe and sound.

So after arranging all this, Jiang Wei announced that the class would return to the court on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and he planned to return to Chengdu in half a month, and he hoped that the first New Year after his crossing would be spent in Chengdu, not in the wild land of Jiaozhou.

And this time when he returned to Chengdu, he still had a big thing to do in his heart, and it was time for him to get married.
