Chapter 1060: Going north to Changsha
As Zhang Xi sighed with Pang Tong in private. The current generals of Eastern Wu, after Zhou Yu, really don't have a few characters who can provoke the beams.
It is also in the face of Liu Bei's group seizing the four counties of Jingnan and threatening the rear of Jiangling at any time. What did Zhou Yu and Lu Su do at that time?!
Zhou Yu directly suggested that Sun Quan turn his face with Liu Bei, transfer troops from Jiangdong, and directly kill Liu Bei, anyway, it is a hidden danger to keep it.
Of course, at that time, Soochow still occupied a certain strategic initiative, and Zhou Yu's approach did not conform to the actual situation facing Jingnan now.
But what about Lu Su, what did Lu Su do in the face of this situation? !
Lu Su directly persuaded Sun Quan to exchange Jiangling for Jiangxia and give up his main control of Jingzhou.
Not to mention anything else, as far as the strategic courage of this abandoned son to get out of trouble, the current generals of the Eastern Wu Army do not have it.
Even, not to mention people like Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng, when the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangdong were alive, when they faced Lu Kai's current situation, there was a high probability that they would not think about it so much, and they would definitely lead the Lingling soldiers under their command to rush to the aid of Quanling.
As long as the 30,000 Shu army under Shibao is defeated in the field battle, there is only one Pan Jun in Duliang County, how big a wave can it make? !
Well, I don't say whether this approach can be successful, but at least the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangdong, one by one, still have this bit of courage and courage.
In the final analysis, the current generals of the Eastern Wu Army, whether in military strategy or courage, are not as good as their predecessors.
Although Lu Kai still did not have the courage to abandon his son and get out of trouble like Lu Su, as a rare figure who could still be ranked in the middle and late stages of Eastern Wu, he still chose a road of the twelve tiger ministers in Jiangdong to raise troops to save Quanling.
It's just that in terms of heart, Lu Kai doesn't have the same spirit as the twelve tiger ministers in Jiangdong, he just hopes that he can quickly support Quanling before his back road is copied and the army's morale is turbulent, and then rely on Quanling's city defense to defend it.
Moreover, in order to prevent his back road from being easily wiped out, Lu Kai made a choice that was quite out of his personal character - he "mobilized" all the families in Fuyi County to act with the army.
Fuyi County is not a big county, there are only two families in this county that can be ranked first, Lu Kai risked the taboo, and directly "invited" the heads and immediate family members of these two families to the army, and then blackmailed them, brought all the family assets and money and food, and sent troops with him to Quanling.
At least in this way, it can not only solve the problem of grain and grass supply in the army, but also delay the time for some Fuyi counties to surrender to the enemy. Lu Kai originally planned to do so.
But the two big families, even if it's just a big family in a remote area like Lingling County, all the clansmen of the two families combined, there are nearly a thousand people.
Rushing with a burdensome march of nearly a thousand people, it is strange that this speed can be raised.
Moreover, Lu Kai is also from a big family, and he can't be completely ruthless with the big family.
In other words, Lu Kai not only overestimated the discipline of these clans, but also was not decisive enough.
Therefore, when Lu Kai, who was marching all the way, encountered the siege of Shi Bao halfway, he did not control these two families at the first time. 、
These two big families were originally very dissatisfied with Lu Kai's forced migration of them, and they received a letter from Pan Jun in private, and they had long been holding back to find a way to rebel.
Now that the opportunity has come, Shi Bao led the troops to block the road and besiege it, and the heads of these two big clans immediately instigated riots among the soldiers of Lingling County through their own clansmen and created turmoil in the hearts of the army.
By the time Lu Kai reacted and killed the heads of these two families, it was too late to stabilize the morale of the army.
Lu Kai himself is not Shi Bao's opponent in terms of military ability, coupled with the turmoil of the army, the strength is at a serious disadvantage. A big defeat, inevitable.
In this case, he suffered a defeat, and there were still two clansmen from Fuyi County in the army, and Lu Kai didn't run far away, but he was caught by Shi Bao and his troops.
The clansmen of the two families begged to see Shi Bao, hoping that Shi Bao could hand over Lu Kai to them for disposal, most likely because they wanted Lu Kai's head to pay tribute to their dead family master.
But this matter, Shi Bao really can't follow the clansmen of these two families. Shi Bao still has the political acumen, and in this case, he chooses to compromise with the clansmen of these two families, and it is difficult to say how influential the Han will be in Lingling County in the future.
Therefore, Shi Bao refused the request of these two families, but at the same time, he also expressed sympathy for the plight of these two families, Shi Bao could not hand over Lu Kai to them for disposal, but he could write to Pan Jun to inform the merits of these two families.
Well, actually, that's enough. For the family, although the head of the family is important, the most important thing is the continuation and development of the family in the local area.
Using the death of the two heads of the family in exchange for Pan Jun's care of the two families when the benefits are distributed after the war is much more meaningful than exchanging for a Lu Kai's head.
This is the survival rule of the family in this era.
In this way, Shi Bao temporarily kept Lu Kai, and planned to wait until after the war and hand it over to Zhang Xi to dispose of.
After defeating the Lingling soldiers under Lu Kai's department, Shi Bao did not immediately go north to join Jiang Wei, but continued to lead the troops to Quanling Quanling County to escape after hearing the news.
Then, Shi Bao stood still in Quanling and informed Pan Jun, and after hearing the news, Pan Jun immediately left Duliang County with three thousand Han troops and rushed to Quanling. After that, he started writing again.
This letter is written to the three counties of Zhaoyang, Xiangxiang, and Chong'an in the northeast of Lingling County, and as soon as these three counties are lowered, Lingling County will be completely pacified.
As for Shi Bao Shi Bao and Pan Jun, they all summed up with each other, and felt that it didn't seem to make much sense to return to Wuling County now.
Even if Shi Bao rushed back to Wuling County and joined Jiang Wei, there were only more than 50,000 people under the command of the two, compared to the 20,000 people under Lu Dai, the siege power was not too advantageous.
Moreover, the Wuxi barbarians can still be used in field battles, and siege warfare is a cannon fodder, and the Lingling County soldiers who have just been defeated, even if they are absorbed, they can't immediately exert their combat effectiveness for a while.
Wuxi Man is already a rabble in the siege war, and if there is a group of private soldiers from the family. That style of painting, Shi Bao didn't dare to think about it.
This is not a question of individual combat effectiveness, but of organization and discipline.
Bringing such a force to join Jiang Wei will affect even the combat effectiveness of the Southern Han Army.
Therefore, instead of going to join Jiang Wei, it is better to directly take 30,000 people to the north, enter Changsha County, and form a front and rear attack with the main force of Zhang Xi's army who is besieging Zhu Ran in Luo County.
If this is done, even if the combat strength of the army on Shibao's side is still not guaranteed, at least the situation still looks very scary.
The southern part of Changsha is now empty of defense, and Shi Bao suddenly led his troops to break in, even if Shi Bao really brought a rabble, this kind of tailwind battle is still very easy to fight.
And Zhu Ran will not dare to sit idly by and watch the loss of southern Changsha, and will inevitably divide his troops to guard the southern part of Changsha. And as long as Zhu Ran divides his troops, Zhang Xi's grasp of Xixian on the frontal battlefield will be much greater.
Shi Bao and Pan Jun discussed seriously for a long time, and finally Shi Bao decided to adopt Pan Jun's strategy, led the troops to the north, and turned east from Chong'an County in Lingling County to enter Changsha County.
The first step was to seize Yuxian County in Changsha as a military food supply point and rest for a while.
The second step is to go directly north and attack Liling County, an important town in the south of Changsha.
The reason why Liling County was chosen is because it is the transportation center of Changsha County.
To the north of Liling County, it leads to Changsha County, and to the east of Liling County, it can lead to Yichun County. Here, it is the administrative scope of Yuzhang County of the Yangzhou Thorn History Department.
In other words, if you Zhu Ran don't care about Liling County anymore, then it is really possible for Shi Bao Ke to lead his troops to break into Yuzhang County.
If Shibao really wants to burn the war to Yuzhang County, it will not be limited to the battle in Jingnan.
Yuzhang County is next door to Danyang County, and the capital of Dongwu is in Jianye Sun Quan in Danyang County, I am afraid that he will have to prepare for war directly.
The importance of this place, no matter how difficult Zhu Ran was on the front line, he must divide his troops to defend in the south.
And as long as you divide the troops, then the next thing will be much easier.
The facts also proved how accurate Shi Bao's judgment was.
When Zhu Ran learned that Lingling County was lost and Shi Bao led his troops north into Changsha County, he immediately called Zhang Cheng in a hurry and asked him to lead 15,000 soldiers to Liling County in the south to set up defenses.
Poor Zhang Cheng, he rushed all the way from Jiangxia to Wuling County, and then from Wuling County to Changsha County, his ass was not hot at this time, and he was sent by Zhu Ran from northern Changsha to Liling County in southern Changsha to deploy defense.
Even if it's a donkey, you can't do that!!
