Chapter 311: Troops Sent North
Regarding the transfer of troops from Nanjun, Zhang Xi also thought about it for a long time.
Now that Xiangfan has insufficient troops, not only Guan Yu has noticed it, but Zhang Xi can also detect that it is not the original Xiaobai, and the current Zhang Xi can be regarded as having been in battle for a long time.
However, the transfer of troops from Nanjun also involved the defense of Nanjun, especially Jiangdong, and Zhang Xi absolutely did not dare to take these people lightly.
Now that Lu Su has died, Zhang Xi doesn't know that Zhou Yu's position has undergone some subtle changes.
In Zhang Xi's eyes, Zhou Yu is still a faction that destroys Liu, Lu Meng is a backstabbing faction, and Sun Quan has never had any foresight and only cares about his own interests. If the garrisons of Nanjun were transferred north to support Xiangfan, the probability of backstabbing on the Jiangdong side would definitely increase sharply.
Therefore, in principle, Zhang Xi did not agree with Guan Yu's transfer of troops from Nanjun.
But Guan Yu didn't understand.
"Now that Lu Meng has returned to Jianye to recuperate due to illness, General Lu Kou has been replaced by Lu Xun. The old man heard that this person is the son-in-law of Sun Bofu, although he is over 30 years old, he has achieved nothing, he is a weak scholar, more than self-preservation, and he is afraid that he is not enterprising enough! Guan Yu said to Zhang Xi, "Lu Meng is not here, and there is no one in Changsha, Guiyang and other places to lead, how can he send troops to invade the territory at this time and attack against the alliance?!" ”
You pull it down quickly, if Lu Meng commands the troops in Lukou, it will be better, if you really let Lu Xun lead the troops of Jingnan to carry out a sneak attack, if you don't make Xu Shu do it, you may not be able to do the "weak scholar" in your mouth.
Nothing has been accomplished. Your eldest brother won the first fame of Cao Cao in Hanzhong, but it was all ruined in the hands of this "weak scholar" who "achieved nothing".
But the problem is that none of these things happened, Zhang Xi could only complain in his heart, and he definitely didn't dare to say it.
Lu Xun's reputation at this time is indeed not obvious, although the relationship between the Jiangdong family and Sun Quan is gradually easing, but in terms of military power, the current Sun Quan still believes in the Huaisi Group more, after all, the Jiangdong family is deep-rooted, if the military power is released, these people can control the Jiangdong military and government every minute.
Although Lu Xun is an outstanding son of the Lu family, he doesn't even have much experience in leading troops alone over the years, even if Zhang Xi tells Guan Yu that this Lu Xun's ability is only above Lu Meng, there is no evidence to prove his opinion.
Therefore, Zhang Xi couldn't refute Guan Yu's rhetoric, so he could only persuade Guan Yu again and again, saying, "We don't know what Lu Xun's ability is, but the enemy is lenient and can't be careless." ”
Obviously, such a statement cannot convince Guan Yu, who has just conquered Xiangfan and occupied most of Jingzhou.
What's more, Guan Yu took out another letter, which was written by Lu Xun to Guan Yu.
This letter was written, well, Zhang Xi felt that this Lu Xun could really blow it.
In the past, Lu Meng wrote to Guan Yu, although he also praised Guan Yu, but it was also reasonable, Lu Xun, who was neither humble nor arrogant, directly put himself in the attitude of the younger generation in the letter, and praised Guan Yu as a rainbow fart, without the slightest embarrassment, and even how to guard the vital military affairs of Lukou, Lu Xun said that he wanted to ask Guan Yu and ask Guan Yu to teach him what to do.
Seriously, when I read this letter, I thought that Lu Xun was actually Guan Yu's subordinate, not Jiangdong's Lukou guard.
After Zhang Xi read Lu Xun's letter, which was even more obsessed with his brother, he helplessly persuaded Guan Yu and said, "Junhou, this is Lu Xun's arrogant plan, and Junhou must not take it seriously." ”
Guan Yu nodded, but his face was happy, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he was not serious.
It is no wonder that the current Guan Yu can be said to be the most proud time in life.
The second master was already proud, and now that he has achieved such a big result, it is normal to be a little proud.
The impact of this attack on Xiangfan is even greater than the impact of beheading Yan Liang in Baima back then.
Although it did help Cao Cao reverse his strategic disadvantage, the main command was still Cao Cao, and Guan Yu only fulfilled the responsibility of a military general.
But this time to capture Xiangfan, Guan Yu is the boss, conquer Xiangfan, coerce Wanluo, forced Cao Cao had to hurriedly set up defenses, and also attracted smoke from all over Nanyang, and even there were people on the Runan side who received Guan Yu's seal letter from afar and accepted Guan Yu's moderation.
At this time, Guan Yu had already shown all the qualities of a mature military commander, and he had also achieved corresponding results.
Although it has not yet been evaluated as "Megatron Huaxia", this influence has already been created, but it is just a lack of a weighty person to cover the coffin.
So, in Guan Yu's opinion, it is not normal for an unknown young player in Jiangdong to write a letter to praise himself after learning that he has such an excellent record.
Besides, he Guan Yu is in his fifties, and he is not a little child, can he still make himself flutter with a few words of praise? !
It's really not that he Guan Yu underestimated the enemy, it's really that Xiangfan really doesn't have enough troops now, so he has to transfer troops from Nanjun.
To be honest, Zhang Xi also believed that Guan Yu did not underestimate the enemy, but. I always felt that something was wrong.
Whether it is according to the development of the historical line or the romance line, the replacement of Lu Kou Shou with Lu Xun is a very obvious precursor to Jiangdong's backstabbing Jingzhou, and Zhang Xi must respond and take precautions.
Not to mention the transfer of troops from Nanjun, Zhang Xi can't wait to let Guan Yu lead the army back to the division now to rescue Nanjun.
But. What about Xiangfan?!
Such a hard-fought town and strategic location, don't want it?!
If that's the case, what kind of Xiangfan battle will be launched, isn't it good to sit in Nanjun?!
What's more, now that the battle of Hanzhong is not over, the news from the side is that Cao Cao is still leading his troops west into Hanzhong, and Cao Ren in the north has finished resting in Wancheng and may go south at any time.
At this time, giving up Xiangfan and retreating will not help the battle of Hanzhong at all, not to mention, the second battlefield that I have worked hard to open up will be easily discarded, so I have been fighting for many months, and I have been lonely?!
Not to mention that Guan Yu couldn't agree, even Zhang Xi was very reluctant now.
But that's where the problem comes in.
If you want to hold Xiangfan, you must transfer troops from Nanjun, and transferring troops from Nanjun will give Jiangdong an opportunity to take advantage of, and Jiangdong will have a dilemma of sneaking up on Nanjun.
Zhang Xi thought about it for a long time, and finally made a choice - to transfer troops.
It was agreed that Guan Yu would send 10,000 soldiers from Nanjun to the north to support Xiangfan and strive to hold Xiangfan.
Because the current situation is completely different from the situation encountered by Guan Yu in history.
Guan Yu in history was stabbed in the back on the basis of not laying down Xiangfan.
At that time, Guan Yu could not break through Xiangfan, and the retreat was cut off by Lu Meng, and finally had no choice but to retreat from Linfu to Yizhou, and then was completely blocked by Lu Meng in Linfang, refused to surrender after being defeated and captured, and was finally killed by Sun Quan.
But now, Guan Yu has Xiangfan in his hands, even if he faces the joint attack of Jiangdong and Cao Wei, it is not impossible to hold on.
Secondly, it is not that Nanjun is without reserves, let alone without excellent guards.
Wuling and Lingling have Xu Shu and Pan Jun in charge, and the two of them join forces, so that they will not be easily broken by Lu Meng.
However, the soldiers under the public security guard Wen Ping were not transferred at all, and Wen Ping was quite cautious, and it was not so easy to be broken.
As long as the public security is not lost, Xu Shu of Wuling can send troops to rescue the public security and Jiangling at any time, and Nanjun is not so easy to gnaw down.
Taking a step back, even if the public security is lost, Jiangling's defender Wang Ji is not so easy to deal with, after all, Wang Ji's violent beating of the Jiangdong Army is proven by history, as long as Wang Ji does not take the initiative to open the city and surrender, even if it is Lu Meng, don't think about taking advantage of Wang Ji easily.
As for the issue of soldiers, Zhang Xi has thought about it, and it should not be a big problem.
The number of people mobilized by Guan Yu is not large, that is, 10,000, and Jiangling is not without reserves.
At the beginning, Zhang Wei set up a miners' battalion, but now he is crooked, and he actually helped a lot.
Originally, Zhang Wei was just for the convenience of management when mining, and adopted a semi-military management method to form a miners' battalion.
However, the miners of the 5,000 miners' battalion have received a certain degree of military management after all, and they can basically do the order and prohibition, and the only difference between them and the regular army is probably that they are not skilled in battle formations and ordnance.
These things are not difficult, as long as Guan Yu agrees to arm these miners and then train them, not to mention becoming elite soldiers immediately, but helping to defend the city or something, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Not to mention, the current manager of the miners' battalion is Deng Ai.
Therefore, although Guan Yu will mobilize 10,000 troops to the north in Nanjun, if the miner battalion is allowed to transfer away the shortage of non-commissioned soldiers, Guan Yu will actually transfer 5,000 people from Nanjun.
This number is actually acceptable.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhang Xi did not object to Guan Yu's idea of transferring Jingzhou troops to the north, but only asked Guan Yu to authorize Wang Ji in Jingzhou to allocate weapons to Deng Ai, and let Deng Ai train the miner battalion on the spot as a garrison in Jingzhou.
After that, Zhang Xi also wrote a letter to Deng Ai, asking him to strengthen his training at the same time, but also to pay attention to vigilance, not only to pay attention to the garrison of the public security on the other side of the river, but also to pay attention to the changes in the situation in Jiangling City, if there is a big change, quickly write a letter to inform himself.
Although Deng Ai is a famous general, the problem is that Deng Ai still lacks the experience of battle formation, and Zhang Xi is not very relieved and does not dare to let him make decisions alone.
After explaining Deng Ai, Zhang Xi was still not at ease, and wrote another letter to Xu Shu, telling Xu Shu to pay attention to the movements of Jiangdong, not to underestimate that Lu Xun, and by the way, if he could, ask Pan Jun to write a letter to Lu Meng to test whether Lu Meng was really sick or fake.
Although Zhang Xi felt that 80% of it was fake, testing through Pan Jun's letter would always make Xu Shu more vigilant.
After all, Zhang Xi can't jump out directly to tell Xu Shu now that Jiangdong will definitely attack Jingzhou in no more than a month.
There is no evidence to support it, Zhang Xi can't tell Xu Shu, I intuitively think so
Just when Zhang Xi finished writing various letters to remind everyone to pay attention to Jiangdong, Cao Ren of Wancheng led an army of 20,000 and rushed to Fancheng.
