Chapter 410: The two sharp knives are not there
Seeing that Lu Su didn't understand, Long Xiang patiently explained:
"Whether we go to Xudu or Xiangyang to open a store, Cao Cao or Liu Biao will definitely be on guard, and if we hand over the initiative to their people, we can save a lot of trouble, as long as we ensure that we have people to send goods, information will be able to flow like water."
"Awesome!"
Lu Su stroked his palm and praised: "Yunqi blurted out a whimsical idea, even I am ashamed of myself, if you are willing to Hefei all this, maybe the emperor will worship you as a military advisor." ”
Long Xiang shook his head bitterly: "If you don't praise each other, why is Zijing here again?" I'm just an ordinary person, I can't let go of my father's old department, I can't let go of my wife and children in Hefei, even if I am a little smart, I am not worthy of being a military advisor, I can provide him with some help, and I am already very content. ”
"Ahem." Lu Su spread his hands helplessly: "Yunqi doesn't let me boast, I'm too modest, I'm too difficult"
Lu Su has recently been in charge of the military and political affairs of Hefei, so not long after passing the information in place, he left in a hurry after a few words of greeting with Long Xiang.
In the afternoon of the same day, Long Xiang unexpectedly inspected the city defense camp.
In order to prevent Tang Yu from interfering with Luo Yicheng's judgment, Long Xiang asked Luo Yicheng about his intentions behind his back.
After all, his life has stabilized, and he really doesn't want to leave his wife and children at risk, and Long Xiang will not blame him at all.
They are all the songs left by his father, and he has endured hardships for so many years before, and he should also enjoy life.
If Luo Yicheng hesitated at all, Long Xiang retreated and asked Lei Xu to choose someone from the ministry.
Lei Xu's troops are all Huainan locals, and he can pick 3,000 young people for Zhang Fei, and it is easy to pick more than a dozen people for Long Xiang.
Just like Long Xiang's unexpected inspection, Luo Yicheng was also unexpectedly willing to go to Xudu.
He enjoys the thrill of adventure and is not worried about his wife and children staying in Hefei.
Now the best people in Hefei are the first part of Long Xiang to bring, as well as the surviving family members of the dead part of Longyuan.
Luo Yicheng believes that even if he dies in a foreign country, his wife and children will be taken care of and supported, which is the trust that Long Xiang has accumulated over the years.
The next day, Luo Yicheng picked twenty retinues from his battalion headquarters and set off north with Long Xiang's letters and missions, and Liu Fu would send a boat to send him to Xudu in Shouchun.
When war broke out in Yuzhang at this time, Long Xiang did not plan to contact Liu Ye through the Yangtze River, but asked Luo Yicheng to stabilize in Xudu, so he sent people to Jingzhou in the name of purchasing raw materials, and brought the most important advice to Liu Bei by the way.
That is, let Xu Shu recommend Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, since the current history has changed greatly, there is no need to wait for another five years to visit the thatched house.
Zhuge Liang went out of the mountain one day early, and Liu Bei gained power one day earlier.
Long Xiang's judgment that he did not take the waterway was not wrong at all, and Liu Fu's reconnaissance fishing boat was quickly stopped in Chaohu Lake.
Tai Shici suddenly sent troops to block the mouth of the water, and it was obvious that Zhou Yu's fleet was going to the front line to prevent the intelligence from falling into Hefei and Shouchun.
Hefei soldiers can't afford to set off big waves, and the key is Xudu in the north of Shouchun.
If Cao Cao makes a comeback and cooperates with Chen Deng in Dongcheng to go south, Jiangdong will face a catastrophe.
Zhou Yu didn't know that everything that happened in Yuzhang was from the handwriting of the chief director of Xu Du.
Cao Cao didn't want to take advantage of the fire to rob at this time, he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to rest and prepare, and then he would go south after defeating the old enemy of Hebei.
In the first half of the year, he was defeated in Huainan, and Zhou Yu stationed the elites left by Sun Ce in Guangling, Dantu, and Danyang.
Although he was the Taishou of Guangling, he sat in the camp of Yu Dantu after the war, and let the veteran Cheng Pu continue to guard Guangling.
More than 20,000 people withdrew from Huainan, including 6,000 troops led by Han Dang and Jiang Qin to defend Danyang, and their task was to hold the Yangtze River line, prevent Cao's army from breaking through the Taishici defense line in the south, and then force the Yangtze River to fight Jiangdong proper.
The Dantu battalion where Zhou Yu was sitting had 15,000 soldiers, and they could be used as a mobile to defend the Huainan or Guangling battlefields at any time, but they didn't expect that Yuzhang on the Western Front would have an accident.
After receiving Yuzhang Sun Ben's request for help, Zhou Yu evacuated the soldiers and horses of the two battalions of Dantu and Danyang, and reported the seriousness of the matter to Sun Quan.
It is hoped that Sun Quan can transfer some more soldiers and horses from Huiji and Wu County, and Xu Kun, the Marquis of Guangde, will rush to Yuzhang by land.
Huang Zu's coalition army exceeded 30,000 people, and Zhou Yu's more than 20,000 people alone were not enough to win, and he was afraid of irritating Chen Deng in Dongcheng, and noticed the current abnormality in Jiangdong, so he did not dare to transfer more than 10,000 garrisons in Guangling, so he could only ask Sun Quan to increase his troops.
Sun Quan originally had an opinion on Zhou Yu, but Huang Zu had already reached the doorstep, and at the critical moment when not sending troops might cause turmoil, he abandoned prejudice and grievances, and quickly transferred troops from Wu County and Huiji.
In a hurry, he mobilized troops and gathered 13,000 men in the two counties.
Sun Quan was worried that the troops were not enough, so he borrowed 2,000 troops from Zhang Zhao and handed them over to Xu Kun to drive to Yuzhang by land, and ordered the counties along the way to provide military grain and grass.
Zhou Yu and Xu Kun's two troops and horses, with a total of 36,000 people, were on par with the combined forces of Huang Zu and Liu Pan.
Zhou Yu traveled quickly by water, but did not immediately attack Chaisang, or go directly to Nanchang to rescue, but stationed in Pengze County to wait for Xu Kun, and sent scouts to explore the military deployment of Jingzhou.
Huang Zu left the water army governor Chen to guard Chaisang, and the general Zhang Shuo supervised the rear army to guard the sea dusk, and he led the main force to surround Nanchang with Liu Pan, which is a typical layout of encirclement points and reinforcements.
By the end of October, Xu Kun's department had not yet arrived.
After grasping the information, Zhou Yu tentatively attacked Chaisang Water Village.
The water village was built during the garrison of Tai Shi Ci, and the watchtower, arrow tower, fence and other facilities are excellently matched.
Chen was tenacious in defense, and Zhou Yu didn't get half a point of bargaining when the warship was superior.
It is difficult to recover the Chaisang Water Village, not to mention the strong Haiduan City.
When Liu Xun led his troops to Haiduan to 'borrow food', he also returned due to the tight defense, and Zhou Yu obviously would not gnaw hard bones.
Zhou Yu thought about it, so he could only wait for Xu Kun's soldiers to arrive, and went directly to Nanchang to save people.
If there is a fair decisive battle in the field, Zhou Yu believes that the elite soldiers in Jiangdong can win, at least in Shaxian back then.
At the end of the month, Xu Kun led his troops to Pengze, and immediately joined forces with Zhou Yu to go south to rescue Sun Ben.
Zhou Yu, Xu Kun, Huang Zu, and Liu Pan fought several times in the north of Nanchang and on the banks of Ganshui, and the two sides actually fought to a draw.
Zhou Yu was quite surprised after the war, because Sun Ce used the same force to defeat Huang Zu in Shaxian, but now he does not have the momentum he had at the beginning.
He forgot that when he was in the west to conquer Jiangxia, Sun Ce and Tai Shici were like two sharp knives, and by constantly killing Huang Zu's generals, the momentum of the Jiangxia defenders quickly collapsed, so that the siege of the city was like a bamboo, and now the two sharp knives are all gone.
Huang Zu was surprised that the reinforcements from Jiangdong came quickly, and the troops gathered in a hurry were equal to his own.
But he couldn't retreat easily, because he found a sense in these battles.
The Jiangdong soldiers who left Sun Ce don't seem to be so invincible.
This battle seems to be fought.
