Misjudge this kind of thing, just. It's embarrassing.

This matter must not be the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, and Cao Zhen has already written to ask for guilt, and this kind of thing cannot be directly pressed on his head, but you have to say that it is the responsibility of Liu Ye and Jiang Ji. This is not good, the role of these two at that time was that of strategists, responsible for making suggestions, and whether to adopt or not, that was Cao Pi's decision.

Therefore, Cao Pi's smartest approach in this matter is to ignore this strategic miscalculation.

Anyway, everything has already happened, and no one can get back the three or four months wasted by holding anyone responsible, so it's better to think about how to deal with it next.

Cao Pi was obviously not stupid, and he couldn't be held accountable when he knew this, so he just reprimanded Cao Zhen and Wang Chang, and then let them continue to fight, maintain the frequency of harassment, even if there were some losses, they couldn't let the Shu thieves in Guanzhong easily harvest this season's grain.

The strategy is not a one-time strategy, but a long-term strategy, and the purpose is to destroy the resumption of production in the Yongzhou area.

With Cao Pi's clear edict, Cao Zhen relieved himself and transferred another 5,000 soldiers and horses from Hangu Pass to Wang Chang as reinforcements, allowing him to continue to harass Zuo Fengyi's area.

As for the right Fufeng area, Cao Zhen also sent a letter to Guo Huai, asking Guo Huai to choose the right time to fight, if there is an opportunity, to strive to gather superior forces, break through one or two Wu forts, and then use these Wu forts as a base to gradually encroach on the Wu fort group at the Wuguan Road crossing, and open a channel to attack the right Fufeng.

In short, we're on the right track.

And once Cao Wei uses this dogskin plaster-like play, Zhang Xi is really uncomfortable.

You don't know when or where the Wei thief will suddenly come out, bite you, and then retract.

In the right Fufeng area, even if Liu Yin took precautions carefully, he would inevitably be attacked by Guo Huaidong and the west, and lost three Wu forts, providing Guo Huai with a gap where he could lead his troops out of Wuguandao.

Although the gap is not large, it can also play the role of a bridgehead, and Guo Huai does not have to pass through the narrow Wuguan Road every time he sends troops, and the efficiency of harassment has improved a lot.

Liu Yin didn't have a good way, so he could only seize the counterattack on the three lost Wu forts and strive to recapture these three Wu forts as soon as possible.

But the problem is that Guo Huai is not easy to mess with, and now Liu Yin, in the face of Guo Huai's tactics of breaking the face with points, it is still difficult to get a bargain under Guo Huai, and the war in the right Fufeng area has fallen into a situation of confrontation.

In the Zuo Fengyi area, when Wang Chang understood Zuo Fengyi's defense strategy and became familiar with the rescue position and rescue speed of the Han army, with Wang Chang's strategy and ability to command troops, he wanted to take advantage of the Han army's unpreparedness and burn a little in the east and a little in the west, which was indeed difficult to defend.

It may not be successful every time, but as long as Wang Chang succeeds once out of ten, the loss suffered in that level is not small.

It is true that Yongzhou did not usher in a large-scale invasion of the Wei army, but as Zhuge Liang expected, Cao Wei adopted the tactics of attacking and harassing guerrillas, and achieved certain results in the Yongzhou area, burning some grain that was about to ripen or had already matured.

Although in terms of the total amount, it accounts for only about one-tenth, but in terms of quantity, it really makes Zhang Xi feel distressed for a long time.

But there is no way, Zhang Xi can deal with Cao Wei's attack and harassment method so much. In the case of insufficient troops, Zhang Xi did not even dare to counterattack Tongguan, for fear that Cao Wei would seize the opportunity to exchange Tongguan for Chang'an, which would outweigh the losses.

As for Cao Wei, he was actually not too satisfied with such an attack.

After all, there was not much food burned, and the encroachment plan was seriously blocked, and he did not find an area in the pass that was enough for Cao Wei's army to gain a foothold as Sima Yi had planned. Just a few Wubao and a buffer zone of twenty miles were not enough to support Cao Wei's return to Guanzhong and establish a forward position.

If you continue to do this, the loss of your own grain and grass is not a few, and the loss of soldiers is not too light, so you can only watch Yongzhou gradually resume production and become the advance base and grain production base of Shu thieves.

Cao Pi now feels a little bit of the meaning of the "chicken ribs" of the first emperor during the battle of Hanzhong.

Back then, Cao Cao felt that this place in Hanzhong was a "chicken rib", but now Cao Pi doesn't think that this place in Yongzhou is a chicken rib, but he has a bit of a chicken rib feeling about Sima Yi's strategy.

No, there is no better way, use it, your own loss is not small.

After thinking about it, Cao Pi still felt that he should continue to adhere to such a strategy and cut meat with a blunt knife is better than no knife.

In this way, Cao Wei's attack on Guanzhong lasted from July to October, and it was only when Guanzhong gradually entered winter that it slowly stopped.

It's winter, the crops that should be harvested have been harvested, and even if Cao Wei sends troops to attack again, he has no goal and has worked hard for two months, so it's time for the soldiers to rest and recuperate.

But Cao Wei slowly stopped here, and Sun Quan in the south of Jingzhou was a little uncomfortable.

Since the army began to attack Jiangxia in April, Sun Quan has not had much success.

First of all, he was hired by Wen to make an empty plan, and it was delayed for five days in vain.

After the real troops came to Xiling County, Sun Quan attacked Xiling County with ten times the force, but he was stunned to let Wen Ping defend it for ten days, and waited for reinforcements from Xiangyang.

What's even worse is that the reinforcements from Xiangyang this time were personally commanded by Guan Yu.

To tell the truth, when he heard that the reinforcements from Xiangyang were personally commanded by Guan Yu, Sun Quan was already resigned, after all, it was Guan Yu, although he was old and frail and seriously injured, but Guan Yu's name was a deterrent in front of anyone.

However, at this time, Sun Sheng had just led the sneak attack troops into Changsha and joined Quan Cong, if Sun Quan had withdrawn directly at this time, then this sneak attack, except for completely turning his face with Ji Han, would not have any benefit.

Therefore, after Sun Quan thought about it, he consulted Lu Fan and Zhu Ran's suggestions, and decided to temporarily retreat to Exian County, establish a water village at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and rely on the power of water warfare to confront the Jingzhou army.

It is necessary to contain these Jingzhou legions in Jiangxia and provide an opportunity for Sun Sheng to capture the second county of Jingnan.

Sun Quan retreated to the mouth of the three rivers, even if the siege of Xiling was lifted, after Wen Ping joined Guan Yu, who personally led the troops over, he was not polite, and directly led the army into Yi County, established a water village, and confronted the Dongwu Navy across the river.

This confrontation lasted for two months.

It's not that Guan Yu suddenly has a better temper, but the reputation of the Jiangdong Navy is really not bragging, although Sun Quan pulls his hips in land warfare, but he still has some skills in water warfare, the two sides have engaged dozens of times in a small area, and neither side has taken advantage, let alone defeat the other party in a short time, in this case, the confrontation is the best choice.

Originally, so far, although Sun Quan said that it was not good to enter the army, he still completed the established strategic goal, attracted part of the main force of the Jingzhou Army to Jiangxia, and the remaining main force of the Jingzhou Army was still in Xiangyang, just to lay the foundation for Sun Sheng to lead the troops to attack Wuling County and Lingling County.

But. Two months passed, and Sun Sheng and Quan Cong's Changsha Army attacked smoothly at first, but then they were blocked by Li Qiu's troops of Shu Han outside Hanshou County, Wuling County.

Originally, the 3,000 county soldiers in Li Qiu's hands would definitely not be able to stop the attack of Sun Sheng and Quan Cong's 15,000 Eastern Wu Army, and it would be considered Li Qiu's command to last ten days, and he couldn't even think about it for two months.

But the problem is that Li Qiu held on to Hanshou County for less than five days, and Chen Dao, the Yongan Governor of Shu Han, had already led 10,000 northern troops down the Yangtze River, landed directly in Gong'an, and then rushed 180 miles in three days to quickly rescue Hanshou County.

What's even worse is that under the persuasion of Lu Dai, Pan Jun, the Taishou of Lingling County, who had been a little shaken, immediately rejected Lu Dai's persuasion and defended Lingling County as soon as he heard that Chen Dao's reinforcements had arrived in Hanshou.

After all, Pan Jun's ability is there, if it weren't for his selfishness, Lu Dai really had no way to take Pan Jun.

The battle situation in Jingnan was so stalemate for a while, and the news reached Sun Quan's water village at the mouth of the three rivers, and Sun Quan was also numb.

The current situation made Sun Quan very hesitant.

It's not that there is no hope of winning, but the price is really big.

Today, the comparison of Jiangxia's military strength is 50,000 naval troops in Eastern Wu versus 30,000 naval troops and 10,000 army troops in Jingzhou. The 10,000 army can be ignored, and if you fight on the river, as long as you can break the naval army in Jingzhou, then these armies are not to worry.

But the question is to defeat the 30,000 naval army led by Guan Yu, although it is not impossible, but what kind of price does your own naval army have to pay?!

Again, even if you win on the Jiangxia side, if the Changsha side loses, let people counterattack into Changsha and exchange a Changsha county for a Jiangxia county, it feels like a loss.

Changsha has been developed for more than ten years now, and the grain production base of the Dongting Lake Plain has been quite large-scale. Although the geographical location of Jiangxia is very important to Jiangdong, seventy percent of Jiangxia is mountainous, how can it be compared with a grain production base like Changsha? !

Sun Quan has been a little hesitant and has been in a stalemate at Sanjiangkou until September, when Sun Quan was connected to two bad news.

One is that although Cao Wei said that he would attack Jingbei, until now, he has always been in Wancheng and Xuchang without moving, and in the counterattack that was originally said, it seems that at present, it is just thunder and rain.

Cao Wei villain, really can't be trusted.

The other is the bad news that made Sun Quan's color change greatly.

In this Jiangxia operation, Shi Bao, who had been holding his troops in Gangneung, suddenly dispatched troops at this critical moment of confrontation.

Shi Bao's dispatch of troops is not a big deal, and it is impossible for Sun Quan not to consider the troop movement of Jiangling before launching the backstab.

But the problem is that Shi Bao neither chose to lead the Jiangling soldiers to support Jiangxia, nor did he think that the womanizer who crossed the river to support Wuling actually chose to meet with the public security guard Zhang Ren at this critical moment of stalemate, and the two sides gathered more than 10,000 soldiers, secretly crossed the Yangtze River, and went straight to Changsha, intending to cut off Sun Sheng and Quan Cong's grain and grass supply lines, and even capture Changsha.

As soon as the news reached Sanjiangkou, Sun Quan's face suddenly changed.

It's not that Jiangling doesn't have a navy, but because of Jiangxia as a barrier, there are basically not many people in Jiangling's navy, and they are all stationed in the public security just in case.

There were no more than 100 ships, and less than 5,000 sailors. Sun Quan never imagined that Jiangling would dare to attack Changsha with this little water army.

But who knows, Shi Bao really dared to take the risk of lack of logistics, use the naval ships as ferries to cross the river, go straight into the territory of Changsha County, and adopt the method of fighting to cut off Sun Sheng and Quan Cong's rear.

If Shi Bao can really cut off the logistics line of Sun Sheng and others for ten days, then the Eastern Wu soldiers on the front line will inevitably fall into the risk of lack of food, and at that time, Li Qiu and Chen Zhi of Wuling County will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and Sun Sheng and others who attacked Changsha will inevitably suffer a big defeat.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan hurriedly sent someone to send a message to Sun Sheng and Quan Cong, asking them to shrink their defense and ensure the safety of the back road, and they must not let Shi Bao cut off the back road, which would lead to the fall of Changsha.

At the same time, Sun Quan asked He Qi, who was left behind in Chaisang, to quickly organize reinforcements and reinforce Changsha by land, striving to encircle and suppress the Shibao army that crossed the river.

It is better not to take Jiangxia than to lose Changsha.

In the end, Sun Quan began to think about whether he should retire from the army.

After all, the battle has come to this point, and it seems that it will not do itself any good if the stalemate continues.

As for Cao Wei's gang of bastards in the north, they said that they would send troops to Jingbei to help them reduce their pressure, but they didn't talk much, and they still expected themselves to continue to fulfill the covenant? !

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one can say who is not abiding by the agreement.

Withdraw the troops and return to Chaisang.

In this way, in the second year of Jianxing, Wei and Wu marched into the army on the third road, and it ended in such an almost child's play.
