When Gao Shun and Yan Yan were facing each other across the city, an army of about 10,000 people from Jiangdong set out from Jiangxia. Under the guidance of Fa Zheng's confidant Fa Lin, they headed for Bajun along the Yangtze River.
Fazheng originally wanted to follow Zhang Song to offer Yizhou to Cao Cao, but because Cao's army did not notify Zhang Song in advance to allow him to escape Chengdu as planned before attacking Shu, Zhang Song was killed by Liu Zhang, so Fazheng attacked Cao Cao's army.
I also felt a little bit disgusted.
Fa Zheng is not a broad-minded person. On the contrary, history records record that he will retaliate for his hatred. After Liu Bei entered Shu, Fa Zheng took great power due to his merit. Fa Zheng took care of those who had done him small favors in the past, and treated those who had been kind to him.
Fa Zheng would take revenge on anyone who offended him. Someone reported this situation to Zhuge Liang, hoping that Zhuge Liang could stop Fa Zheng's behavior, but Zhuge Liang was worried that Fa Zheng was Liu Bei's subordinate, so he never took any action.
, which is tantamount to acquiescing to Fa Zheng's actions.
Fazheng was on good terms with Zhang Song. However, when Zhang Song was killed by Liu Zhang, Fazheng did not come forward to intercede in order to protect himself. However, Fazheng did not think this was his fault, but put everything on Cao Jun.
.
Under this situation, if he continued to support Cao Jun as planned, Fazheng would only feel dissatisfied in his heart. However, Liu Zhang was weak, and Fazheng was definitely not the master who wanted to assist him. After much deliberation, Fazheng finally set his goal in
After arriving at Soochow, he wanted to lead Sun Jian's army into Shu.
Of course, Cao Jun's "conspiracy to kill" Zhang Song was just one of the reasons why Fazheng introduced Wu into Shu. Now Cao Jun and Yizhou are at a stalemate, but as time goes by, Cao Jun may not be able to sustain himself. Since Cao Jun has little chance of winning, then introduce another
An army from other forces might not be a better choice.
If it were any other time, Sun Jian might not be tempted by the suggestion of entering Shu. After all, the middle of Shu is far away from Jiangdong, and he has to be wary of Cao Cao in the north. The foreign tribes in Shanyue and the nobles in Jiaozhou have not completely surrendered, so Sun Jian may not be able to take action.
Go deal with Yizhou.
But now Cao's army has invaded Shu and is in a stalemate with the Yizhou army. As the saying goes, the snipe and the clam are fighting for the fisherman's profit. Sun Jian felt that if he seizes the opportunity, he might be able to become a fisherman again.
As the saying goes, if you miss the opportunity, it will never come again. If you miss the opportunity to attack Yizhou and let Cao Cao occupy Shuzhong instead, then your own strength will be even weaker than Cao Cao.
So Sun Jian ordered Lu Meng to be the chief general, Zhang Fei to be the deputy general, and Lu Su to join the army. He led an army of 10,000 and headed for Yizhou.
Lü Meng didn't like reading much when he was young. However, when the three-front allied forces attacked Cao Cao earlier, Lu Xun used a trick to defeat the Jiangdong Army. Wu general Ling Cao died in the battle, and Sun Jian's son Sun Yi committed suicide. Only Lü Meng survived under the desperate rescue of the soldiers and escaped with his life.
Lü Meng regarded this defeat as the greatest humiliation in his life. Although Sun Jian did not express his anger at Lü Meng because of the deaths of Sun Yi and Ling Cao, and criticized him, he comforted him more. But the more Sun Jian behaved like this, the more Lü Meng felt in his heart.
It felt like a thorn, the more he couldn't let it go. After this battle, Lu Meng seemed to be a different person. He diligently studied the art of war and tactics, and has achieved some success so far. He can be regarded as a Confucian general with both wisdom and courage.
Lu Su had a calm personality, was resourceful and generous. After joining Sun Jian, Lu Su did not hesitate to spend his family wealth to supplement Jiangdong's military needs. After several inquiries, Lu Su was also favored by Sun Jian, and he gradually became more important.
At that time, Lu Su's official position was Zanjun Lieutenant. Although he was not conspicuous among the senior generals of Soochow, although his official position was not high, his status in Sun Jian's mind was no less than that of those veteran generals, almost second to him.
Yu Zhou Yu.
With Lü Meng and Lu Su leading the army, Sun Jian was still very confident in this battle. However, considering that Lü Meng and Lu Su were both resourceful and resourceful, but lacking in bravery, he made Zhang Fei his deputy. Zhang Fei's martial arts were rare in the world, even if
There are powerful generals in Shu who are unknown to him, and it must be more than enough for Zhang Fei to step in. As long as Liu Bei is still under his control, he will not worry about Zhang Fei not being able to contribute.
The Soochow Army crossed the river and reached Bajun. Although the march took a lot of time, on the Chengdu side, the Cao Army and the Yizhou Army were still in a confrontation, and no one had ever discovered that another army was targeting Yizhou.
.
Bajun City, as the southeastern barrier of Yizhou, is quite solidly repaired. If Yan Yan had not led his army to leave the city, under Yan Yan's personal command, the five thousand soldiers could barely resist the 10,000 Dongwu Army.
.However, Yan Yan was not in the city at this time, and only a thousand of the five thousand defenders were left. How could they withstand the fierce attack of the Soochow Army?
However, these thousand defenders were trained by Yan Yan personally. Even if the enemy's number is ten times that of our own, they will not be easily afraid, let alone surrender.
Lu Meng ordered an attack on the city in the early morning. The Bajun garrison resisted the enemy for a full day. Finally, they could no longer hold on and declared that the city was broken at dusk.
When the city was broken, there were less than a hundred survivors in the Bajun city, and the Soochow army also suffered losses of more than a thousand people.
