Chapter 636: The Navy Arrives in Jiangdong
"Your Majesty, Commander Pang and Commander Xu are here to invite you!" As soon as he walked out of Cao Mansion, Dian Man came over. After conveying the order to the entire army, he happened to meet two military advisors, and the two military advisors seemed to have something important to ask.
Liu Zhang volunteered and came to Cao Mansion.
Liu Zhang frowned and asked, "What's the matter with the two military advisors?"
"It seems to be about Sima Yi!" Dianman knew that Liu Zhang was most concerned about Sima Yi's life and death, so he quickly told the story!
"Go to the meeting hall!" Before Dianman could finish his words, Liu Zhang took the lead and rushed to the meeting hall. He was full of murderous intentions towards Sima Yi, the grave tiger.
"See you, Your Majesty!" As soon as they stepped into the city guard's mansion, Xu Shu and Pang Tong, who had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, immediately bowed and saluted. Liu Zhang waved his hand and asked them to stand up.
"Where did Sima Yi escape to? Are all the gatekeeper generals doing it for free? He actually allowed the enemy to escape!" Before the two military advisors could say anything, Liu Zhang bombarded them indiscriminately, leaving the two advisors a bit stunned.
"Your Majesty, Sima Yi's escape route was exactly the north gate where our army was surrounded. After breaking through the north gate, he immediately turned south, heading for Lujiang and Jiujiang! His subordinates did not expect that Sima Yi would escape.
I didn't even expect that Sima Yi would break out of the siege from the north gate, so I asked the king to punish him!" Xu Shu also didn't expect that Sima Yi would break out of the siege through the gap in the siege. As the commander of the battle, he felt very ashamed!
"Forget it!" Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to hold people accountable. What we want is Sima Yi's head! How is the Sima family doing?"
Guo Jia bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Sima family has moved to Jiangdong half a year ago, and was treated like a distinguished guest by Sun Quan! Not only the Sima family, but also several other big families have also moved to Jiangdong."
"Jiangdong?" Liu Zhang sneered: "Now that Cao Cao has been defeated, how long can the rats from Jiangdong save these aristocratic families? Fengxiao issued an encyclical to Jiangdong that all families who surrendered after our army came to the Yangtze River will be destroyed.
Nine tribes!”
"Yes!" Guo Jia accepted the order. He didn't have a good impression of those aristocratic families who had always been lucky. Now, Liu Zhang wants to force those aristocratic families to surrender, and he will have no objection.
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!" A voice sounded outside the door. Liu Zhang and the other three turned around and saw Jia Xu walking into the meeting hall!
Liu Zhang frowned and asked, "Wen He, what's wrong with this?"
"By doing this, the king will indeed make the big families fearful, but it will also make the big families share the same hatred. Although Cao Cao has been defeated, Jiangdong is still strong. If we act hastily, our army will be in great danger!" Jia Xu said about the situation in Jiangdong.
After analyzing it carefully, Liu Zhang and the other three nodded their heads.
"According to what you say, we are going to let go of those wealthy families who have always been against Gu?" Liu Zhang felt unhappy and his face didn't look very good. His frown made Jia Xu and others feel a little pressure.
"The king's power is growing, and his subordinates can no longer withstand the pressure!" After a while, Jia Xu wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "We cannot force all the aristocratic families to surrender, but we can resolve the conflicts between the aristocratic families.
For example, for the Jiangdong family, if they surrender early, we will give them better treatment, while for the family that migrated from Jiangbei, if they surrender early, they will forget about it, otherwise the nine tribes will be destroyed!"
"This is a wonderful statement!" Xu Shu and Guo Jia immediately nodded and said, "Your Majesty, we agree with Wen He's opinion!"
"Just do what Wen He said!" Liu Zhang sneered: "Send people to hold Xiakou Port, order Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, and Gan Ning to lead the navy to capture Wankou Port and Hulin Port, and then order Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Fei
, Ma Chao’s troops enter Ruxukou! Execute immediately!”
"Yes!" Guo Jia turned around and was about to leave, but he passed by a primary school. He couldn't help but stop and looked at Liu Zhang.
"Fengxiao, please wait a moment, it seems something big is going on!" Seeing that the principal looked in a hurry, Liu Zhang stopped Guo Jia and then asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
"Your Majesty, General Zhou is asking for an audience!" The principal hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Which General Zhou?" Liu Zhang was a little confused. There were several generals named Zhou in the Qin army. In addition to Zhou Yu and Zhou Cang, there were no less than ten generals with the surname Zhou above the rank of captain, and several of them were from Zhou Yu's tribe.
For example, in history, Zhou Shan once went to Jingzhou to trick Sun Shangxiang into returning to Jiangdong, and also wanted to take Liu Chan away with him, but was beheaded by Zhang Fei!
The principal replied: "The person coming is General Zhou Yuzhou!"
"Gong Jin?" Hearing that it was Zhou Yu, Liu Zhang would not neglect him. He smiled and said, "My lords, Gong Jin is coming from afar. I will go out with you to greet him!"
"How dare you, the King of Labor, drive you!" With his white shirt fluttering, Zhou Yu walked into the meeting hall with square steps. He raised his hands and saluted, saying: "I came in without waiting for the King to summon me. Please forgive me!"
"Gong Jin, why are you and my brother so polite?" Liu Zhang stepped forward and took Zhou Yu's hand. Liu Zhang smiled and said, "If there is no big deal, you will never leave your post without permission. Tell me, what's the important thing you're here for?"
?”
"I heard that your Majesty defeated Shouchun, and I am here to congratulate you!" Zhou Yu winked and asked with a condescending look on his face: "Your Majesty, now that Cao Cao has been captured, what are you going to do with your father-in-law?"
"Well, Zhou Gongjin, it turned out that this was just to tease Gu, be careful of Gu Gong's revenge!" Liu Zhang hit Zhou Yu on the chest and said with a smile: "Cao Cao has surrendered, and Gu is preparing to send the Cao family to Chang'an. Just now, Gu has sent an order.
, the troops are sent out at Ruxukou, ready to attack Lujiang, and let you, Lu Xun, and Gan Ning attack Hulin and Wankou!"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to go to Ruxukou, just send troops to Lujiang!" Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said with confidence on his face: "General Ruxukou..."
"Your Majesty, the Army Division is asking for an audience outside the door!" Before Zhou Yu could finish speaking, another junior high school student rushed in.
"Please come quickly!" After dismissing the small school, Liu Zhang turned around and asked, "How about General Ruxukou?"
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, my lord, let's wait until Boyan comes in!"
"That's alright!" Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Don't stand, everyone, sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed their hands and sat down.
"See you, Your Majesty! I've met you all!" Under the leadership of Xiao Xiao, Lu Xun entered the meeting hall. After saluting, he pointed at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "Gong Jin, you are here too!"
"You are here, how can I not come?" Zhou Yu said: "You are also here for Lujiang!"
"Exactly!" Lu Xun said, "I had known you were coming, why would I have bothered?"
"That's wrong!" Zhou Yu said: "I can get Ruxukou without any bloodshed, but as for Lujiang, it's up to you!"
"I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!" Lu Xun cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the current Lujiang guard, Lu Ji, is the head of the Lu family, and I am a brother-in-law with me. If I go to lobby, I will definitely get him to surrender!
"
"Gong Jin, Boyan, your news is late!" Guo Jiadao: "Half a month ago, Sun Quan had replaced the Lujiang guard with Zhu Ran, and even the Ruxukou guard had been changed. If you want to take advantage of it,
Using family connections to win these two places can only be said to be a waste of effort!"
"Fengxiao is a bad word!" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "What's the use of changing the defenders? Unless Sun Quan even changes the defenders and people of these two places. The Zhou family has lived in Shucheng for a long time. As long as I give a call, half of Lujiang River will be destroyed."
All the people will respond."
"What Gong Jin said is true!" Lu Xun also smiled and said: "Although the Lu family does not have as much appeal as the Zhou family in the hearts of the people of Lujiang, the Lu family has been operating in Lujiang for a long time, and its disciples and former officials are all over the Lujiang River.
With the capabilities of our army, as long as we open a city gate, are we afraid that we will not be able to break through Lujiang City?"
Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this. He couldn't help but smile and said: "In that case, I will wait for the good news from you two..."
"General, please don't trespass. Wait for my report..." Suddenly there was a noise outside the hall, and a small colonel was seen running forward quickly, followed by a big man with a heavy back and a heavy back!
"I want to report when I see the king? Are you new here?" The big man walked forward with some displeasure. Although he was walking and Xiao Xiao was running, the big man was still faster than Xiao Xiao!
"Gan Xingba!" When Liu Zhang saw the person coming, he immediately waved him away from the primary school. He laughed and said, "Why are you coming to Shouchun if you are not waiting in Xiakou?"
"I will see you, Your Majesty!" Gan Ning dared to barge into the council chamber, but did not dare to be rude to Liu Zhang. He half-knelt on the ground and said, "I heard that Your Majesty defeated Shouchun, and I will know that you want to attack Jiangdong. How can you attack Jiangdong?
Without the general’s effectiveness?”
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Gu Zheng wants to send an order for you, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun to attack Wankou and Hulin. I didn't want you all to arrive!"
"Your Majesty, the general has already captured Wankou and Hulin Port!" Gan Ning said with clasped fists: "As soon as Lujiang is captured, Your Majesty can send troops to Jiujiang and Wuhu, or attack Chaisang, or attack Jianye
!”
"Good!" Liu Zhang said with great joy; "Xingba is well done, he is worthy of being Gu's favorite general! However, when you come here, who will guard Wankou and Hulin Port?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general has left two young generals to guard the port. With their abilities, as long as Jiangdong generals Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai don't join forces to attack the port, there won't be any surprises!" Gan Ning cupped his hands with a smile on his face.
It's confidence.
When Liu Zhang heard this, he said with some displeasure: "Xingba got two more tiger generals? Why didn't you send someone to tell Gu!"
"Your Majesty, those two boys insist on making great achievements in battle before being recommended by the general. The general can't defeat them, so we have to wait until now! If they hadn't made a lot of achievements in Xiakou, Hulin, and Wankou,
They even asked the last general to mention it!" Gan Ning shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Oh?" Liu Zhang's face turned bright. He didn't suspect that Gan Ning was forming a clique, but he was unhappy that Gan Ning had concealed something. Hearing that Gan Ning didn't hide it on purpose, he felt much better and asked with a smile: "What two people are you talking about?"
Who is this boy’s name, and what achievements has he made?”
"Your Majesty, one is named Ding Feng, courtesy name Chengyuan, and the other is named Xu Sheng, courtesy name Wenxiang. They are both young generals who have just been crowned. They are well versed in military tactics and tactics. When they opened up the Jiangxia grain road, they once killed Cheng Pu...
"Seeing that Liu Zhang was in a good mood, Gan Ning quickly repaid his younger brother's credit.
"It turns out it's them!" Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Any meritorious service must be rewarded, and any fault must be punished. Since these two have repeatedly made military exploits, they were promoted to deputy generals of Jinfan Camp, given the title of Hengshui Captain, and made Marquis of the Pass!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gan Ning immediately bowed down. After all, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng are his!
"No need!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I have decided to conquer Jiangdong, let the two of them continue their efforts and make more new achievements!"
"I will obey your orders!" Gan Ning stood with his fists clasped, his eyes full of excitement...
