Chapter 146: Destroying Sun Junyi

Liu Bei and Liu Qi's two uncles and nephews are very well matched, and Liu Bei is responsible for the opening remarks, enlivening the atmosphere, showing that the two families work together to destroy their grandson. Then got to the point, Liu Qi, as the assassin of Yangzhou, needed to speak, after all, he belonged to Sun Quan's superiors and had a legitimate reason to start a war against Wu County and Huiji County.

Liu Qi waved his sleeves and clasped his hands, looked around at everyone, and said: "The Sun clan seized Jiangzuo, pretended to be too guarded, brutalized the scholars, and killed the people. Qi was ordered by the Son of Heaven and the general of the chariot to conquer the Sun family. Up to now, it has fought several fierce battles, and has conquered Yuzhang, Poyang, Luling, Danyang and other counties. ”

"In the Battle of Danyang, the Sun clan retreated to the second county of Wuhui, stationed troops in Kaze, gathered boats and sailors, and controlled the danger. Now Liu Yuzhou and I want to conquer the Sun family, I don't know what you think? ”

Pan Jun straightened his waist and arched his hand, and said: "Sun Quan succeeded his father and brother's foundation, although his strength has been frustrated today, there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses under his tent, and Wu will be rich, so he can go down at any time. In Jun's opinion, it is better for the general to plan slowly, and seek opportunities to win. Moreover, our army initially decided on the counties, and the places were not stable, so we should not be in a hurry. ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "What Pan Zhi said is quite reasonable. However, we can only see the advantages, not the disadvantages. Although Sun Quan succeeded his father and brother, he will be able to work hard in the school. But Sun Quan lost his teacher and lost his land, and he was defeated repeatedly. attacked Peng Zecheng, killed Huang Gai, Pan Zhang, Song Qian and other generals; fought Danyang, and died Han Dang, Dong Xi, Zhou Tai and other generals. ”

"Although Sun Quan has 20,000 soldiers and horses, in order to support the soldiers and horses, he has been extorted violently, and the scholars are resentful. The second prince is known for his benevolence and filial piety, waving troops into the Wu Society, and the people are eating pot pulp to welcome the king. Pan Jun did not see the Battle of Danyang, and Captain You led the people of Shanyue to attack the Savior; Jin Qi and Mao Gan sacrificed their people to surrender? ”

Saying that, Zhuge Liang held a fan and arched his hand, and said: "Sun Quan is difficult to convince the public, in his bright opinion, now is the opportunity to perish, and he can raise waterway soldiers and horses to capture the two counties of Wuhui." As for what Pan Zhi said, Liang Shen thought so, but thought that he could first level Jiangzuo, and then settle the six county scholars. ”

"Uncle?"

Liu Qi turned his head and whispered, "How?" ”

"Bo Wei can continue to let the officials speak, and you and I don't have to rush to interfere." Liu Bei reminded.

"Hmm!"

Liu Qi smiled and asked, "I wonder if you have any other opinions?" ”

Huo Jun, who had already taken off his big hat, lunged and got up, and said, "Second Duke Qi, the matter of Sun Cao's alliance has been going on for a long time. Cao Cao defeated the second Yuan and conquered Hebei, Yuan Tan surrendered, and Yuan Xi ran to Youzhou. Now he does not wave his troops to the south, but he is afraid of the remnants of Eryuan, and the state has not been conquered, and it is necessary to conquer the northern counties. ”

"And Cao Cao Ke in the north, the Sun family is entrenched in Wuhui, although our army has Wu and Chu, but there is no danger of the river. The north and the south are fighting, Sun Quan welcomes Cao Cao into the left of the river, how can our army stop it? ”

"If you want to stop Cao Cao's people in the north, you have to be a big river. Take Wu Chu's boat as a horse, galloping on the rivers and lakes; It also takes the river as the city, and the enemy is in the north of the river, and the opportunity will be victorious. ”

Raising his voice, Huo Junru's robe flicked, and he said loudly: "Looking at the situation of Wuhui today, the Sun family is like a long worm in the middle of winter, stiff but not dead. If Cao Cao rescues and stretches his muscles and bones, it will be a problem for our army's henchmen, and it must be eliminated suddenly. It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, but how can it be followed by the return of the tiger to the mountain. ”

Compared with Zhuge Liang's discussion of the internal situation of Sun and Liu's armies, Huo Jun's content is more considered from a macro strategic perspective.

Historically, Cao Cao raised troops to the south and drank the Yangtze River, while Liu Bei was defeated in Dangyang and retreated to Jiangxia. Sun Quan pondered deeply, for his own foundation, joined forces with Liu Bei, defeated Cao Cao in Chibi, and laid a three-point pattern of the world.

But in this plane, Sun Quan was united by Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Liu Qi, and only Wuhui and the two counties remained. If Cao Cao waved his troops south, he would be happiest than Sun Quan. After all, the thighs are here, and they can save themselves. For the sake of his own future, Sun Quan is estimated to be the most active when the Belt and Road Party is concerned.

Counting on Sun Quan and Er Liu to unite and fight against Cao Cao, it is better to count on Sun Quan to lead the way and recognize Cao Cao as a godfather. From the perspective of the world's strategic pattern, the six counties of Jiangdong must be all mastered in order to be at ease.

"Color!"

Wang Cang was the first to applaud, and then Pan Jun and the crowd there also applauded. Everyone recognized Huo Jun's reason very much. Although the issue of internal governance is important, there is a huge threat from Cao Cao, and the internal problem needs to be solved later.

After all, Taiwan's bald head has a brain circuit that must be settled inside before the outside, which is very human.

Liu Qi nodded slightly to Liu Bei and said, "What you say is reasonable, but looking at the current situation, Sun Quan should be dismissed as soon as possible." Now Sun Quan is in Wu County, I don't know what strategy you have to defeat the enemy? ”

After Liu Qi finished speaking, Liu Bei added: "Everyone, it's okay to say it. ”

Liu Bei and Liu Qi are very well matched, and one person presides over part of the meeting. Liu Bei tried not to dominate the crowd, and Liu Qi also tried his best to give Liu Bei a relative status.

Er Liu knew in his heart that now they belonged to a grasshopper on a rope, and no one could do without anyone. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Bei and Liu Qi were people with the same surname, Liu Bei would have the idea of marrying his daughter to Liu Qi's son to consolidate the relationship between the two parties.

Entering the process of discussing military discussions, the civilian officials were collectively silent, but the generals were eager to try.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and did not speak. His task in this battle will be to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses into Huiji, as a partial army to sweep the southern part of Huiji, attack Huiji, and completely cut off Sun Quan to get the support of Huiji.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Our army's morale is high, it is better to send troops from Yishan and lead the army to bypass Kasawa." Straight to Wu County, the battle is decided. The elder brother sent troops to meet Ji, and pacified Huiji Shanyue, wouldn't the second county of Wuhui be easily taken down? ”

Zhuge Liang stroked the feather fan and dissuaded: "General Zhang can't be in a hurry, the Sun family has been rooted in Wu County for many years and has won the heart of the generals. Today, when Wu County is attacked, soldiers and horses from all over the country are supporting, and our army is prone to being attacked by the enemy on its back, so it is in a critical situation. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei looked displeased and said: "The military advisor said that today is the time for the destruction of the Sun family, how can he not be in a hurry, the words are contradictory, and it is incomprehensible. ”

"This~" Zhuge Liang was speechless for a while, but he didn't know how to explain to Zhang Fei.

Wen Ping, who was thinking about it, said: "It can be attacked, but it also has priorities. The meaning of Zhuge Junshi is that Sun Quan is holding Wu County, and now he will raise a large army to attack it, and the counties may raise troops to support. In order to relieve our army's worries, we should first attack Wanling, Yuhang, Qiantang, Wucheng and other counties, and then attack Wu County. ”

"What General Wen said, Nailiang's original intention!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said.

Zhang Fei sneered and said, "If according to what General Wen and the military advisor said, I will divide our troops to attack Wanling, Yuhang, and Qiantang, and Sun Quan will not send troops to rescue?" ”

Zhuge Liang was not angry, and said with a smile: "Sun Quan is worried about the safety of Wu County, how dare he divide his troops to save him." And the water and land soldiers and horses gather in Kasawa, if you go ashore into the wilderness, how can the Jiangdong soldiers and horses be the opponent of our army, this Sun Zhouzhi is also afraid! ”

Huo Jun, who was watching the play, laughed secretly in his heart, he finally understood why Zhuge Liang had to hold a feather fan in winter, it was too tiring to communicate with people, and there was no feather fan to reduce the fire, so he was afraid that he would get angry.

In the past, Guan Yu was arrogant, Zhang Feiling was under him, and for the sake of the relationship between the two armies, Liu Bei often came forward to ease and retreat. The competition for military merits that appeared before is proof of the contradiction between the two sides, and Liu Bei eliminated this trouble point by counting his own merits.

There are many contradictions between the two armies, since Zhuge Liang entered Liu Bei's account, under his long-sleeved and good dancing, the friendship of the Shuangliu coalition army has risen a few points.

But Zhuge Liang is only in his early twenties and early fourteens, and he is a young and vigorous young man, so how can he not be angry when he mediates every day. Shaking the feather fan may be a reminder to calm down and not get angry.

Huo Jun, who had finished watching the play, stepped out and arched his hand and said: "Second Duke Qi, what Zhuge Military Master said is not unreasonable. Kasawa is vast, the water network is dense, if our army goes around, Sun's sailors enter the river, cutting off our army's grain and grass. And there are also counties that send troops to support, which is easy to flank. ”

"If our army is invincible in this battle, the Sun family will take a breather and recuperate, and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses will be supported by food and money, to contain the Jingkou, to garrison the troops, and to repair the Yishan camp, if our army wants to find an opportunity to win, it will be difficult!"

Therefore, Jun thought that it was feasible to 'cut off the wings and fight Kasawa', the army marched from the north and south, Jun led the sailors to take the Jingkou and enter Kaze from the Dantu waterway; Liu Yuzhou could send troops out of Yuhang and Qiantang and enter Kasawa from Qiantang water; General Guan led his troops to the south of Huiqiantang, swept through Huiji, and broke off Huiji's reinforcements. ”

"Jun led the sailors and the army of the Second Duke to converge in Kaze, confront Sun Quan's army, and find a fighter to break it, and then he could fight Jiangdong."

Kasawa, later known as Taihu Lake, is surrounded by a dense network of water, and belongs to the wealthy area of Jiangzuo. During the Qin and Han dynasties, Jiangdong already had a canal waterway, called the Dantu Waterway, which started from Qiantang water, flowed through Taihu Lake, and then flowed into the Yangtze River from Jingkou.

Why did Sun Yu stick to Jingkou under the defeat before, the core was that Jingkou was stuck at the intersection of the Dantu Waterway. And if you want to fight in Kasawa, you must have a sailor enter Osawa and fight for control of Kasawa. Without control of the waters, the Jingzhou army would easily be defeated by the Jiangdong soldiers.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, a large part of the reason why there was a situation in Jiangdong where the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue coexisted was that Wu Yue Guo held control of the waters of Kasawa and relied on the rugged Huangshan Mountain Road to form fortifications to block the attack of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

If Er Liu wanted to avoid the embarrassing situation between the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue in history, he had to seize control of the waters of Kasawa, defeat Jiangdong in Daze, and then completely pacify the county seat east of Kasawa.

If this battle cannot be won, when Cao Cao finishes cooking the north and sends troops to support Sun Quan, the situation in the entire Jiangzuo will repeat the pattern of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue.

This is also the reason why Huo Jun and Zhuge Liang both suggested dividing their troops to attack the peripheral cities, that is, to encroach on the Jiangdong Army and then destroy it in a battle. If the first battle is not overcome, and the outlying strongholds are not uprooted, Sun Quan has the support of Jianghuai money and grain, and I don't know what the situation will become.

Cao Cao could notice Huo Jun and send Jiang Gan to Jiangdong, and it was impossible that he would not send someone to improve Sun Quan's relationship. Cao Cao, a top military strategist with a macro strategic perspective, will definitely make good use of the cards in his hand.
