This force is very large, but it has no large ships, let alone large battleships. It is almost entirely composed of small speedboats and even assault ships. If it encounters an army of large ships, it can only escape.
It was the fleet of Sichuan Navy Commander Wei Wen. Wei Wen ordered Gan Ning, Su Fei and other navy generals to be discovered by the Jiangdong Navy on purpose, pretending that the blockade had failed, and engaged in a head-on battle with the Jiangdong Navy, while he led 40,000 navy troops to sneak across
The Yangtze River reaches Jianye.
Wei Wen had several purposes for ordering this. First, the Jiangdong navy inadvertently discovered the intention of the Sichuan navy, which was to block the Yangtze River and block Zhou Yu's supply route. Then Lu Meng would definitely block it with all his strength and would not dare to attack the Sichuan navy without permission.
In this way, the Jiangdong Navy is on the conservative defensive and cannot find that the number of the Sichuan Navy has decreased. Now the number of the Sichuan Navy fighting Lu Meng is the same as the Jiangdong Navy, both 60,000. However, due to the Sichuan Navy's
There are all large ships such as building ships.
If Lü Meng did not lead his army to attack the Sichuan Army, it would be impossible to find that the Sichuan Navy's navy was reduced. However, when the Jiangdong Navy focused its energy on dredging the Yangtze River and defending the Sichuan Navy, it would be impossible to attack. If it were to risk an attack at this time
, given the analysis by Lu Su and others, "Wei Wen is good at sneak attacks and can kill with one blow." If he could take advantage of this opportunity, Lu Meng would be a complete fool.
Now the people in Jiangdong are focusing on Jingzhou, and naturally, in order to welcome the Jiangdong Army's all-out attack, the Sichuan Army's attention will also be on reading the full text of Jingzhou Cemetery Seal.
However, Lu Su, Fazheng, and Zhou Yu all analyzed Wei Wen's temperament very well and accurately.
Wei Wen was a pirate by birth. He worked as a water thief for several years and subdued hundreds of water bandits in Yunmengze. This was not only due to the strength of his water robbers, but also his vision. As soon as he discovered the enemy's fatal weakness, he immediately
Attack like pinching a snake seven inches apart.
It is true that Lu Su, Fazheng and Zhou Yu said he was good at sneak attacks, but Fazheng hoped that the Sichuan army and navy would react quickly to blockade the Yangtze River and block Zhou Yu. In Fazheng's view, Wei Wen, who was good at maneuvering and adapting, could definitely do this.
.
What Lu Su and Zhou Yu wanted was that Lu Meng could not leave any loopholes for Wei Wen, and Zhou Yu also had confidence in Lu Meng. Although he did not know what the situation would be like in a head-on battle between Lu Meng and Wei Wen, Lu Meng could still be attacked by Wei Wen if he arranged his navy.
Fatal. It can only be said that Lu Meng has not made any progress in these years.
Then many people underestimated Wei Wen's vision. Wei Wen did not find the shortcomings of Lu Meng's troops, but he saw Jiang Dong's determination.
Where is Jiangdong? There are six counties and 81 counties. The population is not as large as that of Jingzhou. It has an armed navy of 60,000 and an infantry of 60,000 is the limit. And the lord Liu Zhang set up troops in Jingzhou to be able to cope with an all-out attack from Jiangdong.
horse.
Now that all the troops have been dispatched, what is left in Jiangdong?
Lu Meng's 60,000 navy had to deal with the Sichuan navy's 100,000 navy. The battle should be conservative. Although it was unlikely to be defeated in a short time, it must be dealt with with all its strength. You must know that the Sichuan navy was born out of the Jingzhou Army, the world's largest navy. Combat strength
He was definitely not under Jiangdong's army, so how could he, Lu Meng, dare to entrust him with the throne?
Lu Meng's attention must only be on the "one hundred thousand" Sichuan army and navy in front of him. As a result, Jiangdong's Yangtze River barrier is wide open to the Sichuan army and navy, and Jiangdong itself has no troops to defend at all.
Wei Wen didn't have to look for loopholes in Lu Meng's navy, but looked for loopholes in Jiangdong. According to Fa Zheng's strategy, the Sichuan army could indeed defeat Jiangdong's army, but at most it would cause heavy losses to Jiangdong's army, and it would never be broken.
As a pirate, Wei Wen is accustomed to maximizing profits and has never lacked the spirit of adventure. And this time, it seems that he does not need to take too big a risk.
"It's an old habit. We are now an army, not thieves. What do we call you, big brother?" Wei Wen said coldly.
The general who started to speak chuckled. He was an old subordinate of Wei Wen, but he had long been accustomed to calling him Governor Wei Wen. However, this sneak attack on Jianye was the biggest battle since he joined the Sichuan Army, and there was water.
The excitement of a thief's sneak attack.
The general couldn't help but call out his previous title.
"Wait, wait for half an hour." Wei Wen looked at the white fog in front of him and said in a deep voice. The water thieves must have taken advantage of the fog to attack the land. Even if Jiangdong was already very empty, Wei Wen would not
You won't risk your own life.
But Wei Wen knew that this was not a good time. The fog was very thick and a sneak attack would be easy to succeed. But what about going ashore?
If the attacking army is weaker than the attacked army and you need to bluff, then heavy fog will definitely be good. However, Wei Wen's 40,000 troops are not that many even if Sun Quan is scraping the land. Leading the army to charge forward is a powerful force.
Moreover, the clear sky and clear air are obviously conducive to killing people.
Wei Wen has spent almost all his life on the water, and the weather on the water is extremely familiar. The fog will not dissipate after half an hour, but it is about to dissipate. This means that the navy can take advantage of the heavy fog to go ashore, and after landing,
The clear sky kills people.
…………
"Good news, good news."
Jianye, Prince Wu's Mansion, as the first person with a different surname to claim the title of king, Sun Quan felt a little proud and a little uneasy. After all, his strength was the lowest among the three major princes in the world, but looking at the plaque of King Wu still made Sun Quan happy.
.
Today, Sun Quan is only twenty-three years old. He cannot be immersed in fame yet. Instead, he has great ambitions. Read the full text of "The Harem of the Mountain Village".
But the name of King Wu is not false. Even if he is the first king with a different surname, no one in the world will be dissatisfied. Of course, this service refers to the aristocratic family, but among the princes of the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family means almost everything.
Many times what is said is justifiable, convincing the people of the world, winning the hearts of the people, etc., but it is said for the family, and those lower class people will not be taken into account.
Since this King of Wu is convinced by the people of the world, then he is a well-deserved King of Wu, and what is the concept of a well-deserved king? As long as he has this title, his reputation can be greatly improved, and he can also
Let Jiangdong Civil and Military Affairs flourish more prosperously, and more talents will come to serve.
Now Sun Quan feels that the position of the King of Wu is not yet stable, and the only moment when it will be truly stable is when Jingzhou is captured. As long as Jingzhou is captured, Sun Quan will know that the King of Wu is secure.
Now when I heard a soldier shouting: "Good news", he ran into the palace. Sun Quan and all the civil and military officials in the hall were shocked. Where else could there be good news at this time besides Jingzhou?
"Report?" The soldier bowed to Sun Quan and submitted a military report. "Admiral Zhou Yu cut off the supply of food and grass to Fazheng, and surrounded Baichuan City with Deputy Governor Lu Su. Fazheng's food supply was cut off, and Baichuan City will soon be destroyed."
break."
The civil and military officials in the whole hall were excited, even though they had expected that Zhou Yu and Lu Su would win more and lose less this time. However, the civil and military officials in Jiangdong were all worried. You must know that if something happens in Jingzhou, the consequences will be disastrous, and this disaster will come from Cao Cao's defeat in the north.
Too fast.
No one knows why Cao Cao, who was sweeping across the Central Plains and sweeping Hebei, was defeated so quickly, but they knew that once Huang Yueying's army went south and Zhou Yu and Lu Su had not captured Fazheng, the battle of Jingzhou would only fall short.
And if Jingzhou cannot be taken away, it is not just about the land. If it is just a piece of land in Jingzhou, Jiangdong Civil and Military Forces will not care. If Zhou Yu and Lu Su were defeated and the Sichuan army from the north captured Jingzhou, then Jiangdong Army would face such a powerful force.
Front?
After hearing about this defeat, Sun Quan was really happy because his position as King of Wu was finally secure.
"Lord." Zhang Zhao stepped out of the queue. He was obviously a little excited when he heard the good news just now. However, Zhang Zhao was very cunning and his eyes would not stop at the temporary victory. He would look further ahead and his smile quickly disappeared.
"Now that Fa Zheng has reached its end, Jingzhou will soon be captured by the lord. In this way, the lord will occupy Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and his strength will be enough to rival Cao Cao and Liu Zhang.
Although the Sichuan Army is now powerful in the Central Plains, even though the two states of Jing and Yi are rich in grain output, the Sichuan Army has been fighting continuously for more than a year. They destroyed Liu Bei, moved the capital to Chang'an, appeased the refugees, supported 700,000 troops on the front line, and had 300,000 direct combat troops.
. Even with the seizures along the way, the food and grass in Jingyi and Yizhou could no longer support the Sichuan army's continued offensive.
The world has been divided into three parts. As long as we unite with Cao to resist Liu, in the next ten or even decades, the butchers of Yizhou will not be able to make any progress."
"Congratulations, lord." After Zhang Zhao said this, the civil servants lined up to bow to Sun Quan.
Originally, it was a very enjoyable thing for the lord to be congratulated and paid homage by the civil and military officials in the hall, but Sun Quan was secretly angry in his heart. What does it mean to divide the world into three parts? What does it mean that the butcher of Yizhou can't even think about making an inch of progress?
Could it be that I, Sun Quan, am in a position of great power and have many capable men under my command, so I can only be beaten by others, but I cannot beat others?
Now that Jingzhou is in hand, it is the time when Jiangdong is at its peak, and the Sichuan army is almost running out of food and grass. Sun Quan has plenty of food and grass. Because he has learned Jingzhou's agricultural planting methods, he has introduced Champa rice this year. Jiangdong has not fought for many years, and the food and grass can be said to be great.
They are piled up like a mountain, and with Jiangdong's small number of troops, fighting for a year or two will be completely superficial.
Now is the time for him to create a great cause. Even if the world is divided into three parts, he, Sun Quan, will be the strongest one. Sun Quan deeply hates the conservatism of these civil servants.
Sun Quan chuckled and said: "Everyone, please wake up. The current situation in Jiangdong is due to the concerted efforts of Jiangdong's civil and military forces. Although Gu has accepted the imperial appointment and been listed as King of Wu, the war has been tense and he has not had time to confer the title of Jiangdong's hero and good general.
, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, please prepare yourself. In three days, I will seal the world."
A few generals bowed to Sun Quan, but the civil servants showed little interest, as if they didn't want to be crowned the ace of the Japanese.
"My lord is wise and brave, and he cherishes his ministers and servants. He is a great hero of the generation. However, there is no need to rush the civil and military affairs now. There is a more urgent matter that needs to be dealt with immediately." Zhang Zhao said slowly and softly.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Sun Quan frowned.
Zhang Zhao reported: "My lord, although the Governor of Zhou and the Deputy Governor of Lu Su are about to defeat Fazheng and capture Jingzhou, according to the news, the Sichuan army has already captured Xuchang. The Sichuan army that captured Xuchang may be stationed in Xuchang with heavy troops, and the remaining troops
Cao's army was defeated by Ma Chao, but it is more likely that Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying would send troops south to Jingzhou.
We have just taken Jingzhou and will definitely face a fierce attack from the Sichuan army, but don't worry, my lord. I predict that the Sichuan army will not have enough food and grass, so they will not send out too many troops. Zhou Yulu Su is on the defensive and should be able to defend it.
But the issue that needs to be solved urgently is that now the two great governors Zhou Yu and Lu Su are in Jingzhou. After Fazheng is captured, who will take charge of the affairs of Jingzhou and who will integrate the troops to fight against the enemy. A snake can't do without a head, but it can't do it with two heads.
No, there must be one person who is fully responsible for the affairs of Jingzhou.
Huang Yueying is a witch of a generation, with treacherous strategies. The Jiangdong Army cannot have two people in charge in Jingzhou. Otherwise, even if Zhou Yu and Lu Su are both geniuses in the world, they are no match for Huang Yueying. Please, my lord, decide on a person who will be fully responsible for Jingzhou and coordinate the fight against Huang Yueying."
Sun Quan heard it immediately. Zhang Zhao and others were planning to choose someone to control Jingzhou. Sun Quan also realized the importance of this candidate. Zhou Yu and Lu Su had completely different styles of acting. Whoever was in charge of Jingzhou had already represented
The future direction of Jiangdong Army.
"What do you think?"
Although Sun Quan didn't have to think about it, he just hoped that Zhou Yu would take charge. In that case, Zhou Yu would control Jingzhou and Lu Meng would control the navy, and Jiangdong would be really full of vitality. However, as a mature prince, Sun Quan would still rule the complicated Jiangdong princes.
Being so stubborn and asking for opinions has become a habit.
"The old minister proposed that the deputy governor of Lu Su should also serve as the shepherd of Jingzhou." Zhang Zhao said with his hands, his brother Zhang Hong stood silently, as if this had nothing to do with him, but Sun Quan knew that among the civil servants in Jiangdong, Zhang Hong had the highest prestige, and his younger brother Zhang
Zhaoya is just a rookie.
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
Civil servants came out one after another.
Sun Quan frowned, and then he realized that there was no one from the main fighting faction in the lobby. All the main fighting factions had gone to the front line, including the few generals who were also descendants of the four major families in Jiangdong. Although these people were in
Politically, my brain is slow to react, but when it comes to family, I won't be slow to react, at least I won't oppose family affairs.
Sun Quan was a little angry. Zhou Yu also came from a noble family. Why did others have such an awakening and the ambition to swallow up the world? Are these people in front of them just piles of carrion?
Sun Quan still looked cheerful and weighed his words: "Logically speaking, Zhou Yu is the chief governor and Lu Su is just the deputy governor. Now the situation has been decided. There should be no dispute over who is in charge of Jingzhou. Of course, the person with the highest position in Jingzhou will be in charge of Jingzhou. If the deputy governor
The governor is in charge of Jingzhou, but does it seem a bit deliberate to leave the governor aside?"
Sun Quan tried his best to be tactful, but Zhang Zhao immediately rejected Sun Quan's words and bowed deeply: "My lord, you can't say that. Who is in charge of Jingzhou does not depend on someone's position, but whether their ability is suitable.
We all know that the great governor is so powerful that he is invincible in battle. Although the deputy governor of Lu Su can also mobilize troops, the veteran thinks that the great governor of Zhou is superior.
However, governing Jingzhou is not all about fighting. War is only one aspect. There are many things that need to be coordinated, and most of them are internal affairs issues.
I, Zhang Zhao, am not afraid of offending the governor of Zhou Dynasty, and I dare to say with my chest that the deputy governor of Lu Su, who also coordinates internal affairs and military affairs, must be better than the governor of Zhou Dynasty."
