Chapter 785: Sun 100,000's Thoughts
It has been nearly 20 days since the Battle of Guanzhong began, and the first half of this battle, through the efforts of the meticulous workers, has been put on the desks of various forces.
Cao Wei fought like a bamboo, quickly attacked Guanzhong, suppressed Shu Han near Chang'an City and passively responded to the battle, once again showing the momentum of sweeping the heroes in the past.
The battle in Guanzhong shocked the world.
Liaodong Gongsun clan, Jiaozhou Shijia and these vassal forces, it is meaningless to get such a war report, in addition to commenting on the head, what should they do, they have to do it, they have the heart of a thief and the courage of a thief.
But the process of this battle report was put on the desk of Sun 100,000, the Emperor of Eastern Wu. Sun 100,000 began to be tempted.
Sun Shiwan began to wonder if there was a chance to fish in troubled waters and get some benefits.
For this reason, Zhou Yu, who had just obtained Jiangxia and was still sorting out military and political affairs in Jiangxia, was secretly recalled by Sun Quan to Chaisang, and at the same time, Lu Xun, who was stationed in Xiapi and controlled the entire Qingxu military and political affairs.
plus a Zhang Zhao, the three of them had a secret discussion.
Sun Quan's meaning was to ask the three of them whether it was better to launch a sneak attack on Yuzhou from the northeast in accordance with the agreement with Shu Han, or to take advantage of the weakness of Shu Han now to launch a sneak attack on Jiangling in the direction of Jiangxia, and then take advantage of the Yangtze River.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, whether it is Wei or Shu, it seems that they are a little out of manpower, if they don't do a vote, wouldn't they be too sorry for such a good situation?!
Regarding Sun Quan's thoughts, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, and Lu Xun were all a little helpless.
The boss's idea is right, but it's just a little bit unchievous.
Now the battle in Guanzhong is indeed in full swing, but the problem is that neither of the two families has reached the point where they have run out of oil and are completely unable to fight.
At this time, no matter who we fight, we will inevitably suffer from the full counterattack of one of the parties, which will lead to the other side having an advantage in the battle of Guanzhong, and even decide the ownership of Guanzhong.
It seems that Soochow has made a small profit, but in the overall situation, doing so will almost offend both families at the same time, and will cause an imbalance in the situation. At that time, if the winning side turns its head to deal with Soochow, we will not even be able to find reinforcements, and we will need to bear the attack from the winning side alone.
It's not that you can't do a sneak attack, but now, it's not the time to do it.
But so be it. What kind of virtuous person is the boss of his own family, now everyone is seeing it more and more clearly.
Today's Sun Quan is no longer the Sun Zhongmou who used his talents and sat down in the southeast, but the Emperor of Eastern Wu, the son of Great Wu, who has increasingly not allowed his subordinates to question his decision.
A few years ago, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Quan can still listen to them, but in the past few years, what Zhang Zhao said, Sun Quan listened to two sentences out of ten sentences, which can already be regarded as giving face, and even Zhou Yu can't use the excuse to recuperate, if it weren't for the fact that this transaction with Shu Han requires Zhou Yu to come out, Zhou Yu may not have the right to lead the troops again.
Not to mention the younger generation, Lu Xun, who was completely cultivated by Sun Quan.
So. The boss said that he wanted to fight, so he couldn't say no, so he could only delay time around the corner.
This is the tacit understanding of the three of them.
"The old minister thinks that attacking Wei and Shu can be done, only in the thought of the Supreme." Zhang Zhao took the lead in starting to talk nonsense, and then said, "It's just that my Great Wu has limited troops after all, and there are a lot of internal affairs, if the two fronts start a war, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it." Therefore, the old minister asked His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to transfer troops to the north to attack Wei, or to transfer troops to the west to attack Shu, there needs to be a trade-off, and it is the right way. ”
When Sun Quan heard it, what kind of nonsense did Zhang Zhao say? !
Isn't it because I can't make up my mind that I'm coming to you to discuss this? Hawkers, forget it, this old man, it's already very good if he doesn't stand up and spray you and say "it's not appropriate to use soldiers".
Sun Quan politely greeted Zhang Zhao, then turned his head and looked at the two actual persons in charge of the Western Front and the Northern Front.
Of course, Lu Xun and Zhou Yu knew what Sun Quan meant, but Lu Xun glanced at Zhou Yu and didn't speak.
It's not that Lu Xun doesn't know what to say, it's purely out of respect for Zhou Yu, how can a junior of his own speak in front of Zhou Yu, the pillar of Eastern Wu. Although Lu Xun is also in his forties this year.
Zhou Yu was not polite, and said to Sun Quan, "It is not necessary to use troops on the Western Front. This time to attack Jiangxia, according to the private agreement between the two countries, there is not much to lose."
When Sun Quan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and asked, "In this case, can you take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Shu thieves to take advantage of the situation to march westward, advance by land and water, and capture Jiangling, all according to the Yangtze River?!" ”
Zhou Yu was reluctant to hear Sun Quan say such things. The lord of a country, how can he only have that little pattern in his mind?!
If you use it, you can call it Shu Han, and if you don't use it, you will call it a Shu thief. How many faces are we going to have?!
Again, why can't this supreme think of any other battle plan in his mind except for taking advantage of people to be unprepared for a sneak attack?!
Sometimes, Zhou Yu really wants to say something, but forget it, he doesn't know how long he can live.
"If the Supreme wants to use soldiers, it is okay!" Zhou Yu said lightly, "It's just that now Jiangxia is new, and the people's hearts are not attached, if you rashly enter Jiangling, you will encounter a slight setback, I am afraid that Jiangxia will change." ”
You choose, do you swallow Jiangxia and Jiangling at once and completely turn your face with Shu, or do you accept it when you see it, take Jiangxia, and slowly figure it out? !
Of course, Sun Quan understood the meaning of Zhou Yu's words, but . .
"It's a rare opportunity. Gong Jin can have a way to have both?! Sun Quan thought about it for a while, and still asked Zhou Yu.
As soon as Zhou Yu heard this, he knew that Sun Quan didn't want to give up all the Yangtze River. There is no way, but I still make it clear, this supreme of the province can't tell the current situation.
"According to the detailed reports of Xiangyang and Jiangling, although Shu Han has reached an agreement with me, he is not unprepared!" Zhou Yu sorted out his thoughts a little and continued, "Although Wen Ping led the army to withdraw from Jiangxia, the combat power of the Jingzhou Navy has not been lost, and now most of the Jingzhou armies are also gathered in Xiangyang. This one too. After Shu withdrew its troops from Jiangxia, the soldiers of Wuling and Lingling counties were ordered to transfer north, and now most of them have entered the territory of Jiangling. This is the second one. Therefore, the minister thought that if he wanted to take Jiangling, it was not enough to rely on the troops of Jiangxia, and he also needed to send the troops of Jiangdong to help, and he needed to wait for the troops of Xiangyang to go north to attack Wei. Now that everything is not harmonious, it is not a good opportunity to enter the army. ”
To put it simply, if you want to attack Jiangling, you Sun Quan has to transfer troops and food, and at the same time, you have to wait until the Jingzhou army goes north to attack Cao Wei, and officially start fighting with Cao Wei, and you can't mobilize manpower to counterattack, so that you can have a chance to capture Jiangling.
In fact, according to Zhou Yu's estimate, even so, if you want to capture Jiangling, the victory or defeat is probably between five and five, with Shu Han's current defensive attitude towards Eastern Wu, as long as Jiangling guards themselves do not wave, it is not impossible to fight a situation of defending the city.
But you can't talk to Sun Quan about these words, and Sun Quan won't necessarily listen to them.
Today's situation is completely different from that of the Battle of Chibi, the Jingzhou Shu army has been entrenched in Jingzhou for many years, and it is no longer in a state of being hasty from afar and unable to penetrate Lu Min.
It's not like when Lu Meng crossed the river in white, even if Guan Yu was on guard at that time, the center of gravity was in the north after all, and if he lost Jiangling, if Guan Yu couldn't beat Xiangyang, there would be only a dead end.
Today's Jingzhou army, after seizing Xiangyang, having a way out, and experiencing Jiangdong's two betrayals of the alliance, has reached the peak of vigilance, and the strength of the defense southeast has always remained at more than 10,000 people, and the selection of guards everywhere is extremely careful, either loyal to the master, or resourceful, even if Lu Meng is resurrected, it will be difficult for him to reproduce a white cloth to cross the river.
Don't look at the white-clothed battle to cross the river for only a few months, but in order to prepare for this battle, Lu Meng can plan four or five years in advance. To tell the truth, although Lu Meng has a bad reputation for backstabbing Guan Yu and lacks strategic vision, as a military commander, his tactical ability actually surpasses Guan Yu.
But now it doesn't work, there is no such time and conditions, even if Zhou Yu is allowed to personally command this battle in the current situation, there is no certainty of victory.
But Zhou Yu also knew that Sun Quan would not want to hear these words. It's better not to say it.
After Sun Quan listened to Zhou Yu's discussion, he really thought the same as Zhou Yu, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was not very happy.
But in the face of Zhou Yu, Sun Quan was not angry, so he had to turn to Lu Xun and ask Lu Xun if he was sure to attack Pengcheng or Runan.
Lu Xun is a smart person, and with Zhou Yu's demonstration in front, of course he understands what he should say in his current situation.
"Pengcheng Jia Kui, delicate and well-governed, and Yanzhou as its backup, is anxious, I am afraid it will be difficult for a while!" Lu Xun stiffened his head and said to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter, and he was very dissatisfied with Lu Xun's words.
For Zhou Yu, Sun Quan has to give some face, and it is not good to say too heavy words, but for Lu Xun, Sun Quan really has no scruples.
"Bo Yan has been guarding Jiangbei for many years, is there no way to break the Cao army in a few years?!" Sun Quan asked stiffly with a straight face.
This is almost pointing at his nose and scolding Lu Xun for being incompetent.
Lu Xun also had no choice, so he could only bite the bullet and continued, "The direction of Pengcheng, although it is difficult to overcome for a while, but the direction of Runan may not be unthinkable. ”
This is not Lu Xun made up blindly in order to deal with Sun Quan. Compared with the cautious and cautious Jia Kui, it is indeed Cao Xiu who thinks too highly of himself to deal with.
And Sun Quan obviously liked to hear such words even more, as soon as he heard Lu Xun say that there was a way, he immediately changed his stiff face, put on a friendly smile, and said.
"I knew that Boyan must have a clever plan, but I can come quickly!!"
Hawkers, this ability to change faces, Sun Quan should change places with Liu Bei!!
