At the same time that Ugong Terulie took Qingzhou, Jingzhou, further south, was also quietly changing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This Central Plains war can be said to be a trigger and move the whole body, originally just Yuan Qi and Ugong Zhaolie joined forces, and Yuan Ding wrestling, but did not expect that after Yuan Qi killed Yuan Xi, it caused Yuan Ding's madness, and the resulting chaos led to a collective rebellion in Liangzhou to the west, Chang'an fell, and the capital was in a precarious situation; to the east, the battle for Qingzhou broke out, causing half of Qingzhou to change hands and fell into the hands of Ugong Zhaolie; to the south, it was to let Mount Tai, which was entrenched in Xinye, get a great opportunity.

At the beginning of the Central Plains War, Taishan and Pang Tongyi discussed the strategy of fishing in troubled waters, Taishan wanted to use the contradiction between the two sons of Yuan Biao to make a big fuss and take the opportunity to occupy Jingzhou. Yuan Biao's eldest son, Yuan Qi, was guarding Jiangxia, which was the place where Huang Zu used to guard, and half of Jingzhou's money and grain were in Jiangxia. Yuan Qi was deeply recognized by the civil official system headed by Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers, so he was set up as the son of the world with a very high voice, originally, Jingzhou is a place with a very heavy literary style, which can be seen from the Jingxiang area has been repeatedly famous and famous, therefore, Yuan Qi is equivalent to through the support of Wenchen, mastering the direction of public opinion and some things at the political level in Jingzhou.

And Yuan Biao's second son, Yuan Cong, has just turned fourteen years old, barely an adult, and originally had no ability to compete for the son of Yuan Qi, but Yuan Cong's biological mother, Mrs. Cai, is a member of the Cai clan. As mentioned above, Yuan Biao came to Jingzhou alone, relying on several major scholars such as Kuai, Huang, and Cai, which supported the situation of Jingxiang's nine counties. And Mrs. Cai's point of view is also the point of view of the entire Cai family. Therefore, the Cai family is the power to support Yuan Cong. In Jingzhou, Cai Mao, the contemporary patriarch of the Cai family, controls all the naval forces in Jingzhou, and the proportion of Jingzhou's naval army in all the armies in Jingzhou is as high as an astonishing one-third! That is to say, Cai Mao is in charge of almost one-third of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses. plays a decisive role.

Taishan was keenly aware of this, so he decided to follow Pang Tong's plan to provoke the contradiction between Yuan Qi, who controlled the civilian system, and Yuan Cong, who controlled the attitude of the military, and profited himself.

Taishan's insight is very thorough, or Pang Tong's plan is very thorough. It can also be said that the contradictions in the dispute between the princes of Jingzhou are too sharp, in short. Yuan Qi was indeed as Taishan and Pang Tong expected. After hearing the news of Yuan Biao's death, he didn't distinguish between the true and the false, and immediately rushed back to Xiangyang with the men and horses stationed in Jiangxia. This is also expected by Mount Tai, Jingxiang is a place where famous people come out. It is precisely because the people of Jingxiang have long valued literature over military force that the customs and customs of some literati have deeply influenced the local people. Yuan Qi was also deeply affected by this atmosphere, and naturally wanted to go to Xiangyang to mourn and mourn for his "dead" father.

When Yuan Qi and Yuan Pan rushed to Xiangyang with 20,000 Jiangxia troops, Cai Mao, who received the news early, took the opportunity to slander Yuan Qi and create a rumor that Yuan Qi was self-respecting and intended to kill his father and seize power. At this time, Yuan Biao was sick, and under the cover of Cai Mao's left and right, he didn't know anything about the outside world, and he didn't know that his two sons had started a life-and-death battle with the help of their respective supporters.

Under the banner of righteousness, Cai Mao mobilized people and horses to encircle and suppress Yuan Qi's department, Yuan Qi was originally here to mourn, naturally it was impossible to bring a lot of grain and grass, less than half a month, the grain and grass in the army had been exhausted, Cai Mao took the opportunity to cut off Yuan Qi's grain road, and wanted to trap Yuan Qi alive under Xiangyang City.

At the critical moment, Taishan stood up with righteousness and awe-inspiring, accusing Cai Mao of overstepping his bounds and concealing Yuanbiao's private soldiers, and accusing Cai Mao of targeting the eldest son Yuan Qi at the front of the soldiers. Cai Mao naturally refused to listen to Taishan's persuasion, and stepped up the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Qi, in order to save Yuan Biao's bloodline, in order to protect Yuan Qi, Taishan could only be "forced" to send troops, and participated in the internal struggle in Jingzhou, firmly stood by Yuan Qi's side, and helped him get out of the predicament. After receiving the help of Taishan, the literati breath in Yuan Qi's character burst out again, and he whimsically wanted to take Xiangyang and completely eradicate the Cai clan, which was a big problem in Jingzhou.

Regarding Yuan Qi's decision, Taishan only symbolically dissuaded a few words, and then made a position and was willing to obey Yuan Qi's dispatch. So, Yuan Qi integrated the troops and transported a large amount of grain and grass from Jiangxia, preparing to take Xiangyang in one fell swoop. When Yuan Qi was secretly raising grain and grass, an explosive news came from Jiangdong. Jiangdong's Yangzhou herdsman, Sun Ce, was assassinated to death by more than a dozen Xu Gong family guests while he was out hunting! Now Jiangdong is in chaos, and Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan is temporarily in charge of all affairs in Jiangdong, and the whole Jiangdong is mourning with filial piety.

After getting this news, Yuan Qi no longer had any worries, and thought that Jiangdong would not be able to start a war in the short term, so he moved almost all the soldiers, horses, grains and grass in the entire Jiangxia for the civil war with Yuan Cong. Even Tarzan secretly shouted to God to help me after hearing the news, and his heart was full of joy. Without Sun Ce's ties, Taishan felt that his occupation of Jingzhou would become smoother. Only Pang Tong was faintly worried, frowning and looking to the east every day, and often whispered to himself in disbelief: "That tiger in Jiangdong died so easily......?"

Don't forget, Sun Ce was the chief disciple of Yuan Qi, and he left too many traces of Yuan Qi on Sun Ce's body, and the ideas that Yuan Qi brought from later generations also had a huge impact on Sun Ce. Sun Ce's assassination is real, but he didn't die, not even slightly injured, the whole people Dai Xiao, it's just a strategy set by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the purpose is to paralyze Taishan and Yuan Qi, and take the opportunity to occupy Jiangxia County in Jingzhou.

The hand of time goes back a few days. Three Xu Gong guests and more than a dozen well-trained killers, under the instruction of Guo Jia, secretly infiltrated Jiangdong, they spent two days to find out the law of Sun Ce's actions, in Sun Ce's favorite hunting place, set a trap, and then waited for Sun Ce's arrival nearby.

Just one day later, Sun Ce, as usual, came to the hunting ground with a team of men and horses with light clothing. In the hunting, Sun Ce was very interested, relying on his horse to gallop back and forth, shooting a lot of game. Later, Sun Ce gradually broke away from the team, led the front alone, and threw the men and horses behind him farther and farther. When Sun Ce rode his horse to the trap set by the killers, the extremely psychic black horse suddenly stopped and let out a burst of neighing to warn Sun Ce. Sun Ce suddenly had doubts in his heart, turned over and dismounted to check the surrounding environment. The killers who had been lurking here for a long time saw that Sun Ce only had a strong bow in his hand and no other weapons, so they appeared from the hiding place and killed Sun Ce with a steel knife in his hand.

After Sun Ce killed the two assassins with his bare hands, he was surrounded by more than a dozen assassins in the core, the form was very dangerous, at the moment of crisis, Yuan Qi's words flashed in Sun Ce's mind, Sun Ce shouted, lowered himself and pulled out the Cold Moon Blade from his boots, relying on the sharpness of the Cold Moon Blade, and launched a desperate fight with the assassins. After killing several assassins one after another, Cheng Pu rushed over with his men and horses, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to chase and intercept the assassins, and more than a dozen assassins were all killed on the spot, and none of them escaped alive.

After returning to the state capital, Sun Ce suddenly had a plan in his heart, and after careful planning with Zhou Yu, he decided to cheat to death and paralyze the people in Jingzhou. In order to be true, except for Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and Sun Quan, the rest of the people didn't know about it. Later, when the news of the Liangzhou rebellion came, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu decided to take the opportunity to make a big move, leaving a strong mark belonging to the Jiangdong soldiers in this Central Plains War that will be passed on to future generations.

Under Sun Ce's secret order, Zhou Yu temporarily served as the governor of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, responsible for mobilizing all Jiangdong troops. Zhou Yu made arrangements and ordered Lü Meng, Ding Feng and other rookies to make pre-war preparations, and when the civil war in Jingzhou was together, he led the army to the west, secretly attacked Jiangxia, and extended Jiangdong's tentacles into Jingzhou, also to avenge the death of Sun Jian; Jiang Qin and other Mesozoic generals led 20,000 naval troops to Youzhou by sea, preparing to take refuge in Yuanqi, but in fact they were preparing to help Zhuge Liang, who stayed in the river, to resist Yuan Ding together; as for Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other veterans, they stayed by Sun Quan's side on the grounds that they could not bear to turn their backs on Jiangdong, in fact, in order to stabilize the overall situation and assist Sun Quan in defending Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu's arrangements were extremely meticulous, and he made accurate transfers according to the wishes of generals of all ages. Cheng Pu and other veterans have experienced the favor of Sun Jian, Sun Ce's father and son, and they are bound to not deviate from Sun Quan, so they stay in Jiangdong; and the Mesozoic generals headed by Zhou Yu are not as loyal to the Sun family as the veterans, and it is normal for people to run away in a negative mood, and it is a matter of course to switch to Yuan Qi, and no one can see the clues; Ding Feng and other rookies, not to mention in the eyes of other princes, are in Jiangdong, they are not famous now because they are not very old, but not being famous does not mean that they have no strength, Lu Meng and Ding Fengke are both famous generals in Jiangdong later, and their ability to lead troops to fight is not weak, and it is appropriate to use these young generals who have not yet become famous to secretly attack Jiangxia.

Zhou Yu's entire plan has a name, which is called Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea. With Sun Ce's "death" as the inducement, he deliberately created contradictions within Jiangdong, and the troops were divided into three routes, spanning the three regions of Jingxiang, Jiangdong and Hebei, and even the resourceful Pang Tong was concealed, and he failed to detect Zhou Yu's strategy at all. This is not to blame Pang Tong, who would have thought that Sun Ce cheated to death? And the arrangements made by Zhou Yu, whether from the perspective of military secrets, the concept of war deployment, or even the reasonable response to various generals, have been achieved to the extreme and flawlessly.
