While the Chu army was powerful, there also appeared a large number of generals who had made great contributions and were famous all over the world. Among them, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, and Lu Meng were the main ones. Lu Xun wanted to be with them after this battle!
Lu Xun has such ambitions, and Tian Yu is not bad either. He is old and does not have such great ambitions anymore. However, Tian Yu also has a pursuit, which is not to let Youzhou be affected by war again.
!
Now that the north is peaceful, the only country that can threaten Wei is Chu in the south. Youzhou is far away from Chu. But now, the people of Chu cross the sea and go north to conquer Liaodong. If the people of Chu really defeat Gongsun Gong and occupy Liaodong,
Then there will be another war in Youzhou, which has been peaceful for more than ten years, which Tian Yu cannot accept.
The Chu State has always been strong externally, and the strength of the Chu State is far beyond the Gongsun family. If the Chu State occupies Liaodong, with the strength of the Chu State, it will definitely attack Youzhou. As a local, Tian Yu simply cannot
Tian Yu could not tolerate such a thing happening, so Tian Yu did not hesitate to abandon the defenders of Youzhou and returned to Yecheng in person to ask for orders from Cao Pi.
On the fourth day after Lu Xun arrived at Maqushui, Tian Yu rushed to Yecheng.
In the Palace of Wei Prince in Yecheng, Cao Pi was sitting on the throne. Sima Yi below looked at the military report sent by Tian Yu and frowned, "Didn't the prince say that the Chu army had withdrawn a few days ago?"
Cao Pi said helplessly, "The report from the school affairs office a few days ago is indeed true, but Tian Yu can't lie to me. What do you think about the Chu army appearing in Liaodong again?"
Sima Yi read the military report again and said to Cao Pi, "Prince, in my opinion, the Chu army probably did not retreat at all, but retreated to an island overseas. At any time, no, they may have been prepared from the beginning.
Comeback."
"You mean it's possible that the Chu army destroyed Gongsun Gong?"
"It's hard to say. We can't tell much from the current military report, but I can be sure that the war between the Chu State and the Gongsun family may be completely decided."
"Is the Chu army about to be defeated?"
In Cao Pi's mind, the Chu army came all the way across the sea to fight Gongsun's army in North Korea for more than a year now. They were so far away from the mainland of Chu. In one year, no matter how strong the army was, it would probably be wiped out.
Are you motivated to fight?
Sima Yi said, "Prince, the Chu Army has always used many methods, and the Chu Army is a pure army that trains all day long. The Chu Army's military orders and regulations are strict, and the ideological education of the soldiers is the most important. Its will is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary army.
In my opinion, if the Chu army is not prepared, they will not take the risk of making a comeback."
Cao Pi opened his eyes wide, "You mean Gongsun Gong will be defeated?"
After saying this, Cao Pi smiled and shook his head, "How is it possible? The Gongsun family has dominated Liaodong for three generations, and their current strength is even worse than before. How could they be defeated? It should be the Chu army and Gongsun Gong who continue to confront each other.
Right? The Chu army must have achieved some military results and wanted to force Gongsun Gong to negotiate peace."
p,
It has to be said that Sima Yi is a smart man, and Cao Pi is also a smart man. If Lu Xun had not made any changes in tactics, Cao Pi's prediction would have been Chu's entire plan.
With that said, Cao Pi asked again, "What do you know about the Lu Xun who led the Chu army?"
Sima Yi sorted it out and said, "Lu Xun, whose real name is Lu Yi and whose courtesy name is Boyan, was originally from Sun Quan's shogunate. When Liu Cong attacked Jiangdong, he accompanied Sun Jing to surrender to Chu. After that, he participated in Zhou Yu's battle of Xuzhou and led
Binghe went to sea in the 6th century to open up Taiwan, and after that, there was a war in Korea."
After Lu Xun returned that year, Liu Cong vigorously promoted Taiwan in newspapers. On the one hand, it was to encourage people to immigrate. On the other hand, it was also to show that Chu was a country blessed by God, so it could expand its territory and receive blessings from God.
land.
At that time, Taiwan, which was as big as a county, made Cao Cao so envious that he even lost his appetite for food for several days.
Cao Pi played with the jade pendant he took off his clothes and said, "So, this Lu Xun has no talent at all. It's just that Liu Cong gave him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds at the right time?"
Sima Yi immediately held up his hands and said, "Prince, don't underestimate this person. Liu Cong was worried about how to pacify the barbarians in the mountains. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including Pang Tong, Jiang Wan and others, couldn't think of any good ideas. It was Liu Xun who offered his advice and the Chu State
Only then were we able to completely pacify Shanyue."
"One year before Lu Xun led his army to the north, Liu Cong personally made the decision to marry Sun Ce's daughter to Lu Xun. Liu Cong even said that if his daughter hadn't been young, he would have made Lu Xun his son-in-law. This shows that
, Liu Cong attaches great importance to this Lu Xun. Prince, most of the talents in Chu State were discovered by King Liu Cong of Chu. Have you ever seen Liu Cong make mistakes? "
"Reporting to the crown prince, Tian Yu, the guard general of Youzhou, asks for an audience."
Just as Cao Pi was about to speak, the palace servant's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
p
Cao Pi and Sima Yi looked at each other, and Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "Tian Yu is stationed in Youzhou and has a heavy responsibility. He will not leave Youzhou without urgent matters. Prince, something must have happened in Liaodong!"
Cao Pi immediately waved his hand toward the door and shouted, "General Tian, please come in directly!"
"promise!"
After a while, the palace officials led Tian Yu to the main hall where Cao Pi was governing.
"Tian Yu, the last general, pays homage to the prince!"
"General Tian, please call me quickly. The general has done a great job guarding Youyan for my father. You don't need to be polite in front of me."
Tian Yu is 47 years old this year, and his temples are already a little gray. However, thanks to Tian Yu's frequent training in martial arts, Tian Yu's body is still relatively strong in this era when the average life expectancy is very short.
"Thank you, Crown Prince!"
"Come here, please sit down." Cao Pi sat up straight and spoke very forcefully, "General, you have a heavy responsibility in guarding Youzhou. Why did you suddenly come to Yecheng to see me in person?"
Tian Yu sat down and said, "Prince, the Chu people have conquered Liaodong!"
"What?"
Cao Pi was stunned. The Chu army was strong, but Gongsun Gong was too useless, right? It had only been a few days since he received the news of the Chu army's retreat, but how could he conquer Liaodong so quickly?
"Where is Gongsun Gong?"
"Gongsun Gong is far away in Korea, and the Chu army took advantage of the emptiness in Liaodong to conquer Liaodong. I estimate that the Chu army will confront Gongsun Gong again at Maqushui."
After listening to Tian Yu's words, a look of understanding appeared on Sima Yi's face. Sure enough, it was almost as he expected!
Cao Pi calmed down the shock in his heart and continued to ask, "Then why did the general come to Yecheng to see me?"
Tian Yu stood up directly and knelt down on one knee towards Cao Pi, "The general would like to ask the prince to send troops to Liaodong. Taking this opportunity, we may be able to annihilate the Gongsun family in one fell swoop and drive away the Chu people!"
Cao Pi was stunned again. He took a deep breath for a long time, turned to look at Sima Yi, "Zhongda"
Sima Yi stood up and knelt beside Tian Yu, "Prince, if the Chu army destroys the Gongsun family, then we, the Wei Dynasty, will have to face the Chu army directly in Youzhou. If we sit back and ignore it, Chu's arrogance will be destroyed."
Even more arrogant, but now the army of the Wei Dynasty is on the front line, and there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng. Whether to rescue the Gongsun family or not, please leave it to the prince to decide."
