Chapter 258: Talking about the Jiangdong generals
The winter of the twentieth year of Jian'an is coming.
This year's climate is a bit abnormal, the weather is not particularly cold, there is basically no snow on the land of Jingnan, but the winter rain has been pouring non-stop, cold and wet, even Xu Shu complained about it in a letter to Zhang Xi.
In the Gangneung area, there was only one snow this year, and the rest of the time was also rainy and uncomfortable.
It stands to reason that the weather in Jingzhou shouldn't be like this, and I don't know what's going on this year, it's just so strange.
In the Huainan region, the situation is even more serious.
The Huainan area itself does not have much snow, and there is light snow. But this year, it has been raining intermittently for almost a month.
This made the Jiangdong Army, which had planned to confront Cao Cao at the mouth of the water, very uncomfortable.
Yes, Cao Cao went south to attack Huainan again, and he still hoped to make a breakthrough in the area around the mouth of the water.
Sun Quan, last time he forced Cao Cao away, this time of course it was not in vain, on the one hand, he ordered Jiang Qin, the guard general of the Wet Beard Pass, to be responsible for holding it, and on the other hand, he worshiped Lu Meng as the governor and led the troops to support the Wet Beard Mouth.
But this month's rain poured the Jiangdong Army up and down, and the morale was low.
Of course, Cao Cao's side is actually not comfortable, but the situation on Cao Cao's side is different from the situation in Jiangdong.
Cao Cao really had the final say, and most of the military rations and soldiers came from the military and civilian camps, and the constraints were relatively small.
But on the Jiangdong side, because the world military system is implemented, a large part of the soldiers in Jiangdong are private soldiers of the big families.
The clans of Jiangdong are normally divided into two categories.
One is the local family in Jiangdong, and the other is the Huaisi Military Meritorious Group.
As long as this bottleneck is broken, then Huaisi Group can return to his hometown on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can assist Sun Quan to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains and enter the world.
But will the local families in Jiangdong use the private soldiers they spend money to help the people of the Huaisi Group regain their hometown and help Sun Quan win the world? !
Obviously, people are not stupid, of course they are not happy.
Let's not talk about whether you can really win the world after Sun Quan marches into Qingxu, let's just talk about those Huaisi guys, which people from the Jiangdong family like it? !
These people entered Jiangdong with Sun Ce back then, who didn't have the lives of the Jiangdong family in their hands?! Which one hasn't robbed the Jiangdong family's land and Dingkou?!
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't beat them, the Jiangdong family would still be able to endure it until now?!
A few years ago, Prime Minister Cao Cheng went south to Jiangdong, and the happiest people who danced were not these Jiangdong families, they wished that Cao Cao would come over, anyway, it was impossible to live under Cao Cao more aggrieved than when he was under Sun Ce, surrendering Cao Cao could not only keep his official position, but also make these Huaisi guys completely finished, how good.
As a result, I didn't expect it, Sun Ce was hanging, but Sun Quan, a soft-looking guy, was strong, and Zhou Yu of the Huaisi Group was in high spirits again, and Cao Cao was burned away by a fire.
Well, Cao Cao will leave if he leaves, it's not a big deal.
But you, Sun Quan, are so supportive, you finally killed Cao Cao, but you are trying to find a way to get some benefits for everyone. As a result, he had to form an alliance with that Liu Bei, and in the end, the huge Jingzhou only fished out three counties, two of which were still places that needed to be developed by themselves first.
The Koto family is very dissatisfied.
At the beginning, he suffered heavy losses by working against Sun Ce, but now he is cooperating with Sun Quan, and he still can't get any benefits.
Now that Sun Quan is under the persecution of that group of Huaisi cliques, he has continuously used troops in the Huainan region, can the Jiangdong families be happy? !
was originally unwilling to send troops to Huainan, but now it has been raining on the road for a month, how can it be possible to fight a good war.
So, although Sun Quan confronted Cao Cao in the Huainan region this time, it was different from last time, this time Sun Quan was beaten by Cao Cao, although there were occasional flashes, but overall, he was still at a disadvantage.
And Sun Quan doesn't know what he thinks, this time Huainan used troops, the governor was Lu Meng, the striker was Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai and others, and the veterans and famous generals were not brought.
Gan Ning, Cheng Pu is seriously ill and understandable, but it is incomprehensible to let Zhou Yu stay in Jianye and guard his family, and let Lu Sutun Bing Lukou preside over the development of Changsha County and Guiyang County.
Then a group of Mesozoic and Sun Quan beat a piece of Xiang.
Sun Quan's use of soldiers has always made people feel confused, and there is a feeling that people are still addicted to vegetables, not to mention Guan Yu, Zhang Xi can't understand it.
It's idle in the winter, and it's the New Year, after Zhang Xi came to pay his respects, Guan Yu left Zhang Xi to drink and chat together, and by the way, he talked about Sun Quan's military level.
Guan Yu didn't think too much of Sun Quan's military level at first, after all, this lord of one side, from the first time he led his troops to fight Hefei and was deceived by Jiang Ji in a letter, Guan Yu felt that this person's level was like that.
But after that, Sun Quan fought a battle in the mouth of the beard, or faced Cao Cao hard, although in the end it was Sun Quan who surrendered to Cao Cao before retreating, but Guan Yu, who was watching the battle next door, did not know this detail, anyway, judging from the results, Cao Cao did not take advantage of it, and finally retreated, causing Guan Yu's attitude towards Sun Quan to take a 180-degree turn.
Could it be that this monarch is actually a soldier who knows the army, but he has no experience in the first battle, so he was deceived by Jiang Ji?!
After all, Cao Cao's level is there, and being able to repel Cao Cao is already a great feat.
But later, Sun Quan wandered around in Hefei, which made Guan Yu vague.
What kind of military level is this?!
Although, because of Zhou Yu's efforts to turn the tide, Sun Quan's fight under Hefei City was not ugly, and he finally retreated.
But Guan Yu, as a battle-hardened general, saw at a glance that Sun Quan had made a fatal mistake in the Battle of Hefei, and this mistake was made twice in a row.
It is all about insufficient protection of the Chinese army, and it is easy for people to sneak attack the Chinese army.
The first time, it was Zhou Yu's timely rescue, which turned the crisis into safety, and the second time, Zhou Yu made arrangements in advance, otherwise Sun Quan's remaining two or three thousand people, if he could beat the three thousand people led by Zhang Liao, he Guan Yu wrote his name upside down.
What level Zhang Liao is, can he Guan Yu still be unclear, this horse, with the same strength, Guan Yu himself is not sure of defeating him.
In other words, if there is no Zhou Yu, it is not certain whether Sun Quan still has his life now.
Now he is even more suspicious of being pressed and rubbed by Cao Cao at the mouth of the beard, whether this Sun Quan is acting or not, why is this command level up and down? !
Zhang Xi said that he couldn't understand this.
To tell the truth, in fact, Zhang Xi knows that Sun Quan is a person with full internal affairs skills, and his palace fighting level is extremely high, but his military level is high. Well, probably the command and courage of the water war are okay, and the others are worthless.
But Zhang Xi can't say that.
This is the second master in front of him, not the ordinary proud second master.
The second master in history, although he was not careless, also expressed his disdain for Lu Xun for replacing Lu Meng as the governor.
If this is in front of the second master, say that Sun 100,000's level is like that. When the battle of Xiangfan was not good, the second master really took the route of romance, and he really dared to empty Nanjun.
Moreover, the current second master, because of Zhou Yu's high-profile level, also looks down on Lu Meng, or in other words, in the eyes of the second master, there is no such person as Lu Meng.
I really can't blame the second master for this, mainly Lu Meng in this time and space, there are a lot of battles, but there are really no particularly famous deeds.
Finally sneaked up on Jingnan once, but was blocked by Xu Shu in Xiangtan, and it was difficult to advance an inch. Such a person, even Zhang Xi, it is difficult to imagine whether this product still has the qualifications to lead the troops to attack Jingzhou.
Even if Zhang Xi reminded the second master to be careful of Lu Meng, the second master sneered and said that an incompetent and reckless man had nothing to worry about.
Just when Zhang Xi was worried, the second master was arrogant and looked down on people again, but the second master changed his words and said that there were only Zhou Yu and Lu Su in Jiangdong, and they needed to be more vigilant to prevent them from sneaking up on Jingzhou.
Zhang Xi instantly put his heart back.
Good guy, it turns out that Zhou Yu is not dead, and there is this benefit. The second master has been thinking about Zhou Yu, and he is afraid that Zhou Yu will attack Jingzhou.
After all, Zhou Yu has been recognized as a famous general in the world after the first battle of Chibi, and the second master has been next door over the years, and he has not stopped collecting all kinds of intelligence on Zhou Yu, and his understanding of Zhou Yu is much deeper.
By the way, there is also Lu Su, the second master's evaluation of Lu Su is also very high, thinking that Lu Su, although he mainly presides over the behind-the-scenes work and has no experience in leading troops, but he moved the station directly from Baqiu to Lukou, like a fish thorn stuck in Jingzhou's throat, so that Guan Yu never dared to go north easily.
Otherwise, now that the guards of Xiangyang City are full of favor, the second master would have already raised troops to try his catties under Xiangyang City.
But Lu Su lived in Lukou, so much so that the second master did not dare to transfer troops from Jingnan, Xu Shu of Wuling, Pan Jun of Lingling, and Wen Ping of the public security, the second master did not dare to transfer, for fear that Lu Su would raid Jingnan or the public security.
Don't say anything about Lu Su's advocacy of the Sun-Liu Alliance, after the Battle of Jingnan, the second master's wariness of Jiangdong has never been lowered, including Lu Su.
And Zhou Yu is not to mention, the second master feels that if Zhou Yu wants to attack Nanjun, whether it is from the direction of Jiangxia or from the Yangtze River, it is possible to attack.
The last time Jingnan was in the first battle, the second master was blocked and beaten by Zhou Yu on the Yangtze River, and the second master still thinks that the navy in Jingzhou is not good, and he has worked hard to build and train the navy.
To a certain extent, the second master is really not worried about Lu Meng, but he is worried about Zhou Yu, who is more fierce than Lu Meng, and Lu Su, who is hiding behind the scenes, but he does not dare to go north easily.
When these two people died, the second master dared to send troops to Xiangyang boldly with confidence, otherwise, without complete preparation, the second master would not dare to act rashly.
