Chapter 532 - Jiangdong.... Comeback!
In fact, Zhou Yu knows very well that he is still a little too impatient now, this is not a very good opportunity, and maybe even this is just a trap!
But Zhou Yu has to do this, not for anything else.... Just because his time is running out.
Opening up a way out for Jiangdong is the only thing Zhou Yu can do now, and the only thing he wants to do.
Zhou Yu is not an arrogant person, and he has never looked down on anyone, whether it is those old generals and Yuan Cong who used to be around Bo Fu, or the good ministers and fierce generals who are now following the side of the prince Sun Quan.
Zhou Yu thinks that Jiangdong is really good, thriving, really good....
It's just that he's not good, he's running out of time .... I can't see a better Koto ... Illness may really become a reality that they can't change....
Since his Bo Fu left, Zhou Yu has never thought about what happened to Sun Quan even if he is in power, and Sun Quan is also careful to handle the relationship between the two sides.
This kind of relationship makes the two who were once teachers and friends strange and harmonious.
In fact, many people have seen Jiangdong's predicament, and even for Liu Xie and others, he has even slowly been able to understand the current Jiangdong land.
It's a suffocating predicament, it's the feeling of all hope being pulled away little by little.... It's even like your historical self.
Of course, they still have to be better....
Trapped in the land of a state, the biggest problem is not only the gap between money, food, soldiers, and horses, but also from within... It's the native power that wants to surrender at any moment.
There are fewer and fewer Jianghuai old people, there is no way to balance the forces of the two sides, and they are destined to end up in ruin....
Everywhere, they're not bloodless, but you can't take them for fools.
Fighting the world with the power of one state is not a gamble, this is a death....
If it is a foreign invasion, if Han Zuo does not exist, then resistance in the end can be regarded as loyalty to the country, even if it is a picture of a hundred generations, this matter is reasonable.
The wealthy families in Jiangdong are not fools, and they will not do this kind of famous thing.
But what is it now?
The four families are competing for hegemony, and Cao Liu is fighting for hegemony.... Could it be that which one still represents justice and which one still represents evil?
It's just infighting, fighting for a right or wrong!
For this little thing, you must gamble your net worth and life, full of young and old?
Rao is a four-hundred-year-old Han foundation, and in Cao Mengde's slaughter again and again, he also broke the backbone of Hanchen, not to mention the wealthy families in that state.
Of course, they will not choose to fight Cao Mengde to the death, nor will they choose to overthrow the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty for the sake of the Sun family.
They will think that if they surrender, if they change their lordship... They won't necessarily be worse than they are now...
What's the matter.... That can't be discussed, right?
As the so-called way of power and strategy, weighing is important, weighing, and having power is the trade-off.
Even the person who knows how to weigh the most in the world, even the now awakened prince Sun Zhongmou....
Zhou Yu can also see that he is also very helpless, because... He couldn't change the embarrassment of a good woman who couldn't cook without rice, when the Jianghuai forces that entered Jiangdong in those years were also assimilated by Jiangdong.
After there will be no new forces entering Jiangdong, what if Sun Zhongmou can live for thousands of years?
He can't change anything, it's helpless...
This is true of Shu Han in history, and the same is true of Jiangdong today.... Liu Xie didn't understand why Sun Quan had to fight Jingzhou.
As if there was a problem, he had to put the forces represented by the Cao family on the throne, and he didn't understand it until Liu Xie himself became the overlord of one side.
Why did Shu Han fail in history, because he only had the words of Yizhou, when the veteran withered, when the old man gradually fell.
That's when Shu Han came to the end....
And the same is true of today's Jiangdong, only half of Yangzhou's Jiangdong, he doesn't have enough fresh foreign blood, and sooner or later it will become a joke.
And Sun Quan has been trying his best to save this situation and change this status quo in history.
Today's Zhou Yu.... No less so!
Zhou Yu must do this now, because he knows that there are still a group of real young heroes in Jiangdong now.
They can still give everything for their own prince, even if they lose, they still have a little hope.
But if you keep waiting, then... In the end, they didn't even have a chance to resist!
Therefore, although Sun Quan did not agree so much with the fact that Jiangdong would send troops to Jingzhou, they finally chose to obey Zhou Yu's orders.
Send troops to Jingzhou to fight a ray of life for Jiangdong!
In Jiangxia County, Lei Bo and Xi Zhen, who had been transferred a large number of soldiers and horses, continued to retreat, and finally re-stationed their defensive lines in the northern part of Jiangxia.
Then tell the news to Liu Bei and others who were fighting with Cao Ren's generals....
They originally wanted to take advantage of the disadvantage of Jiangdong's soldiers who were not good at land warfare to block it on the plain, but this time Xi Zhen really miscalculated.
When the Liaodong War Horse and the elite cavalry brought back by Zhou Yu from Liaodong appeared on land, Xi Zhen's face changed greatly for the first time.
"Withdraw!"
He wanted to personally break the rear in exchange for the withdrawal of the army, but it was too late, this cavalry was learned by Zhou Yu when he watched the Gongsun family train soldiers and horses in Liaodong.
Over the years, even how to fight in the direction of Jianghuai has not revealed more than half of it, and in order to feed these war horses, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others have almost turned their hair white.
In the end, this elite Liaodong cavalry of 2,000 people was left...
The cavalry rode their horses and galloped, the spears in their hands easily pierced the enemy's body by inertia, and the hooves of the war horses trampled the ground at will on the battlefield, and then in the shouting of killing, Lei Bo and the others turned from defeat to rout.
When he gained a firm foothold again, Zhou Yu's army had already completely gained a foothold in the northern part of Jiangxia, and could even echo with LΓΌ Meng in Nanjun.
And in this battle, Lei Bo died directly on the battlefield, and Xi Zhen was also seriously injured and brought back, even if he didn't die, I am afraid that he would not be able to fight the battlefield in the future.
As for Jingnan Changsha, it was completely blocked by Zhou Yu after this war.
Jingnan, Jiaozhou, and even the hubs in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were all completely occupied by the Jiangdong army, although they never occupied anywhere.
But Zhou Yu's initial strategy was finally completed.
"Order Lu Meng, you must take Jiangling as quickly as possible!"
"Pegasus reported the news, let General Cheng Pu send troops, attack Youxian, and enter Changsha!"
"At the same time, light the wolf smoke and notify the rear..."
Zhou Yu's orders continued to be issued, and when he occupied the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and took half of the Jiangxia by surprise, the follow-up battle in Jiangdong finally pounced.
Cheng Pu, who replaced Tai Shici and stationed in Haidu, sent troops to Youxian County.
This veteran who served the three members of the Sun family is not dead, but it is really a miracle.
I don't know if it's because although there have been a lot of wars in Jiangdong over the years, there are not many big wars after all, except for Huang Gai Handang who followed Zhou Yu and finally died on the battlefield.
Whether it is Lu Zhi who is stationed in the rear or Cheng Pu who is in the dusk, although one looks more uncomfortable than the other, it is still alive and well, which is also a little interesting.
And this battle, in the eyes of these old guys, will be their last battle!
Cheng Pu led his troops to kill Youxian, took Changsha County as a breakthrough, and took advantage of the fact that the Jingnan hub was cut off and Guan Yu had no time to look south, and attacked Changsha in Jingnan, blockading the land of Jiaozhou to prevent Liu Xie from adding chaos.
On the other side, Jiangdong also sent out the veteran Zhu Zhi and Sun Quan's henchman Lu Fan to attack Jiaozhou.
Although that Zhang Yan still doesn't know if he is still alive, and Yan Yan has not moved, they can be sure that Jiaozhou's defense is relatively empty now!
Attacking Jiaozhou may not be able to make Jiaozhou worse, but at least it can prevent Jiaozhou from continuing to cause chaos.
This Liu Xie.... It really made Sun Quan feel too disgusting!
"Seize Jiaozhou and dedicate it to Wu Hou!"
The slogans of Zhu Zhi and Lu Fan were loud and their morale was high.... The action is quite slow, and it is clear that it is not really going to take the land of Jiaozhou.
Jingzhou and Jiaozhou have been ignited by the flames of war, and the war reports everywhere continue to gallop on the official road, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng and other Jiangdong generals, Guan Yu Guan and other people in Jingzhou.
There are also Pegasus who rushed to Yizhou Chang'an and Shangyong Han...
This huge land of Jingxiang is no longer a place of stability.
Of course, Jingzhou's backhand was also slowly revealed, and Fu Kuang and the others, who had already been transferred, were naturally unable to block the attack of Cheng Pu and others.
But under the banner of the word "Huo", Huo Jun, the first guard under Liu Bei, was blocked in front of Cheng Pu.
Several generals under his command are also veteran generals who have been fighting for many years, with Youxian as the center, and the two sides directly spread out a battlefield with a radius of dozens of miles.
On the other side, a group of soldiers and horses also appeared in the Yiling Mountain Road, and the banner was "General Fuhan, Li".
Under Liu Xie, Nanyang Li Yan, come to Jingzhou again!
It's just that this time he is the main general who assists Jingzhou, and the soldiers under his command and the speed of sending troops can also be seen that they have been waiting for a long time.
This is the reinforcement that Zhuge Liang asked Liu Xie to come.
In the land of mediocrity, a group of soldiers and horses also directly rushed out and rushed out, going straight to Jingnan to detour Nanjun.
The banner is clear, in addition to the "Han" character flag, there is also a banner of the word "Kokang Duwei, Fu".
Captain Kokang, veteran Fu Wei!
But as soon as these two soldiers and horses appeared, they were dragged by a Jiangdong army and horse that had been prepared for a long time.
"Jiangdong Quanzong, I've been waiting for you generals for a long time.
Today, this road is impassable! β
And under the city of Nanjun....
"Guan Ping's thief has followed Guan Yu for many years, but Guan Yu's parents and children should not be underestimated.
Soldiers, follow me to kill! β
