Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

In the Zhennan General's Mansion, Wang Ji sat on the top with a solemn expression, looking at the few generals in front of him.

Several generals appointed by the temple had already arrived in Xiangyang at this moment.

Ma Long, Wen Yang, and Jiang Ban stood in front of Wang Ji respectively.

On the desk in front of Wang Ji, there was the emperor's letter.

Cao Chao did not issue an edict to Wang Ji, but only sent a letter to him, telling him about the situation of Wu and talking about several people who needed to be paid attention to.

Wang basically wanted not to wait for the order of the temple, but to do it first, and then inform him on the table.

If there is a good opportunity, he is not willing to waste time, and if he can make a contribution, the temple will not hold himself accountable too much.

But now it seems that it is not so troublesome.

The temple has no intention of restricting itself at all, and the emperor's letter is even more for him to watch and do, don't worry about the pressure of the temple, and fight if you can.

Wang Ji was indescribably moved in his heart.

Compared with Sima Shi, who is extremely vigilant and always likes to use his deputies and supervisors to restrain the main general, His Majesty is now more tolerant and can fully trust the generals under his command, and will not send a person with the same surname to watch.

In these years, in the wars in various places, the commanders and supervisors must have all been surnamed Sima.

Even if it is only in name, it is necessary, which is understandable, after all, the Sima family is just a powerful minister, he cannot represent the temple, and he has a strong sense of vigilance against his colleagues.

After gaining the emperor's trust, Wang Ji's confidence in himself was even greater.

The emperor sent three fierce generals to help him.

Ma Long's many military training techniques have been rumored, and his record in Yongliang is even more real, Wen Yang does not need to mention, when he became famous in Hanoi, Jiang Ban also had a record of repelling Sun Jun and killing Liuzan.

It can be said that all three of them are strong.

However, Wang Ji never thought that he could win a battle by putting a few fierce generals together, if they were all unruly characters, disobeying orders, and breaking out conflicts with each other, then their arrival would not be a good thing.

He surveyed the few fierce generals in front of him.

Well, Ma Long looks very humble, with his head down, and he is very respectful to himself, Jiang Ban looks a little sleek, and there is a smile in his eyes when he looks at him, this is actually not a bad thing, an obedient general is a good general.

Wang Ji finally looked at the only guy who might have a problem.

The guy was staring at himself right now, looking like he was going to cut off his head in the next moment.

Wang Ji is also a violent temper, and he looked at Wen Yang for a long time.

"What, you have a grudge against me?!"

Wang Ji asked.

Wen Yang immediately replied: "There is no grudge, it's just that you don't wear armor, why do you lead the troops to fight?" ”

It turned out that Wang Ji was wearing a deep curved robe at the moment, and he was not wearing armor, so he looked a little weak.

Wang Ji said: "Someone! Take my armor! ”

Someone immediately sent the armor here, Wang Ji changed into the armor in front of them, and as he stroked the gap in the armor, he said: "This is the armor of Tan Zheng, the general of Wu Thief Anbei, I captured him alive, and now he is like a person who led the troops to the battle?!" ”

Wen Yang nodded, "It's like." ”

Ma Long hurriedly spoke: "General, the Tiger Cavalry General is young and straightforward, but he doesn't mean to be disrespectful to the general. ”

"The general sits in Jingzhou, many times with less to win more, the Wu thieves who fought with their heads are running around, and formulated a strategy to crusade against Wu, accumulate grain in Tuntian, build warships, we all admire your fame and are willing to follow you to fight."

Jiang Ban also hurriedly said: "General, when I came, General Zhendong asked me to bring a message, he said that the Tiger Cavalry General is young, if there is any rude behavior, please forgive me."

Wang Ji said solemnly: "I led the troops to fight, so that the generals do things completely according to my orders, and they are not allowed to have their own ideas, the commanders can formulate strategies according to their own ideas, but the generals cannot, what the generals can see is completely different from what the commanders can see." ”

"If a general doesn't listen to orders, it will ruin the commander's entire strategy."

"You are all His Majesty's favorite generals, but if you are defeated because of disobedience to orders, I will definitely deal with it according to military law, and I will show no mercy!"

All three hurriedly said yes.

Only then did Wang Ji sit down again and speak again: "When Duke Xuanwen was still alive, he wanted to crusade against Wu and asked me for my opinion. ”

"I told Xuan Wengong that if you want to start fighting, you must get enough gains, and a small fight will be beneficial to Wu State, so that Wu State will not be able to fight with peace of mind, and let their monarchs and ministers be united."

"At that time, Jingzhou had a small population, insufficient food, and dilapidated warships, so it could only make small fights and could not achieve enough harvests."

"I have been in Jingzhou for many years, settling the local people, collecting the dead who have fled, opening up the farmland, affirming the etiquette system, rectifying the order of the army, restoring school teaching, repairing warships, and training the navy, just waiting for the opportunity to make great achievements!"

"Now that Wu is in a civil war, the generals are all dead, its king is deposed, and morale is low, this is already the best opportunity."

Wang Ji put on the map, and then said to everyone: "Now that Jingzhou has opened the river, gathered grain, and built warships, this can already accomplish some great things." ”

"My strategy is like this, lead a large army to attack Jiangling and Xiling, and after taking these two places, I can occupy Xiakou again, transport grain along Fushui and Zhangshui, and defend these cities to resist the enemy's counterattack."

"We have strong equipment, have a strong logistics, as long as the energy continues to transport food and troops here, the enemy's belief in stubbornly sticking to it through natural danger will definitely be destroyed, and there will be more and more people who abandon the darkness and turn to the light, at this time, we will unite the barbarians from all over Jingzhou, let them do things from the inside, we divide our troops to fight, and the strongholds above Xiakou will definitely be able to take down, and the states and counties outside the Yangtze River will not be able to hold it."

"In this way, the transportation of Wu and Shu will be cut off, the two countries will not be able to unite, and Dongwu will become a turtle in an urn."

Wang Ji was very excited at the moment.

Wang Ji is actually a military general, as early as seven years ago, when he first came to Jingzhou, he defeated Wu and made military achievements.

When the temple wanted to make a move on Wu, Wang Ji refused, Wang Ji thought that he should be ready, and then take the whole of Jingzhou and cut off the contact between Shu and Wu.

Since then, Wang Ji has been diligently farming in Jingzhou.

He had been farming for too long, and over time, he became a farming general.

His reputation for governing is greater than his reputation for fighting.

But Wang Ji's most fundamental purpose in governing Jingzhou was to attack Wu.

It's a pity that after Wang Ji in history was ready, he encountered Cao Wei's internal events, Huainan raised troops twice, and later the emperor was killed, and Dawei didn't have the idea of taking Jingzhou again.

Wang Ji died with regret.

Many years after his death, when Du Yu fought in Jingzhou, the strategic concept he used came from Wang Ji.

But now, Wei is well prepared, the morale of the soldiers is high, and Wu has suffered so many things, Wang Ji feels a little sorry for himself if he doesn't do it.

The three generals looked at Wang Ji's idea at this moment and looked at each other.

The idea is very good, but how to get Gangneung and Xiling?

Wang Ji didn't give them a chance to ask, "Give you three days to rectify, and after three days, the army will be mobilized!" ”

"Yui!!"

Xiangyang suddenly became lively, Wang Ji had been preparing for so many years, and at this moment he finally had a chance to show it.

The civil war of the state of Wu had also begun at this moment.

Shi Ji really adopted a strategy of holding out, and Sun Qi sent several of his younger brothers to send troops from Xiakou to attack Baqiu, Gong'an, Jiangling and other areas.

In Jianye, after Sun Qi abolished the emperor Sun Liang, he was named the king of Huiji, and was escorted by the general Sun Tan to live in Huiji.

He exiled Quan Shang to Lingling County, but halfway through the transport, Sun Qi felt that he couldn't let him go easily, so he sent someone to chase him and kill him.

He exiled the princess Sun Luban to Yuzhang County and killed all her cronies.

At the same time, after choosing a circle in the clan, he chose Sun Quan's sixth son, Sun Xiu, to be the emperor.

He sent Sun Kai and Zhongshulang Dong Chao to welcome Sun Xiu back to Jianye and ascend the throne.

At this point, Sun Qi became more arrogant, he thought that the entire Wu State had no opponents of his own, as for Shi Ji, he didn't pay attention to it, his army was several times that of Shi Ji, where was the reason to be afraid of him?

After thinking that he had stabilized the situation in Jianye, Sun Qi left Jianye with many generals and led the army in the direction of Xunyang.

At the same time, there was a large number of defections in Wu.

The whole family's Quan Yi, Quan Duan, Quan Yi, Quan Yi, Quan Xi and others fled from Wu and surrendered to Cao Wei.

This is the fear of suffering Sun Qi's reckoning.

And Lu Yi's friend general Tang Zhi, because he was particularly frightened because he had participated in the removal of Sun Qi with Lu Yi, after Zhu Yi was killed by Sun Qi, Tang Zhi was even more afraid, he was originally Cao Wei's person, and later failed to rebel and defected to Wu State, in panic, he sent someone to Cao Wei again, saying that he realized his mistake and did not know if he could live.

His letter first fell into Wen Qin's hands, and Wen Qin hurriedly replied: He said that you are very welcome to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and that he will never pursue your past crimes!

Within a few days, Tang Zhi led his private soldiers, fled to Cao Wei, and surrendered directly.

Under Sun Qi's rule, almost all of the experienced and qualified generals of the Wu State were killed, and there were more and more defections.

Sun Qi was extremely dissatisfied with this, and sent a prison army to keep an eye on the generals everywhere, and said that if they showed signs of escape, he would kill them.

This further increased the fears of the generals.
