When it comes to Hanshou, many people may be familiar with it.
However, most people know that Hanshou is the title derived from the title of "Han Shoutinghou", the righteous Lord Guan during the Three Kingdoms period.
Hanshou has a long history. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, it was established and named Suo County.
In the third year of Yangjia in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, AD 134, it was renamed Hanshou. It is adjacent to Dongting in the north, and has Yuan River and Cao River running through it, directly entering the rivers and seas, so water transportation is quite convenient.
It's just that Cao Peng didn't understand why Xun Yu asked him to set up a governor's palace in Hanshou.
Seeing the confused look on Cao Peng's face, Xun Yu smiled and said in a deep voice, "Do you think the prime minister asked you to be the governor of Jingnan just for Liu Bei?"
"Is not it?"
"certainly!"
Xun Yu took a deep breath, walked side by side with Cao Peng, and climbed onto the wall of the Tang Dynasty.
There were guards accompanying them behind to protect them, but they were far away and could not hear the conversation between the two of them. As for other people, they could not get close to the two of them, which also made their conversation extremely safe and convenient. Hands were used to build Tangcheng Duo.
, raised his eyes and looked eastward, and was silent for a long time.
After a while, Xun Yu said softly: "The Prime Minister's intention to attack Jiangdong has not stopped."
"ah?"
"Don't misunderstand, the Prime Minister does not want to conquer now.
However, Jiangdong is uncertain, so how can we talk about unification? Not to mention the word ZTE... However, the Prime Minister also knows that now is not a good opportunity for conquest. As you said, the naval army has not yet been established, and there are no generals who are good at water warfare.
Jiangdong is bound to be difficult. The terrain of Jiangdong is complex and even better than that of Jingchu. If we cannot succeed in one battle, it will inevitably waste people and money, and cost a lot, so the prime minister is also very cautious.
The prime minister had two intentions in capturing Jingnan.
The first is to use the terrain in Jingnan to train troops so that they can avoid the terrain problems when attacking Jiangdong in the future; the second is to train the navy and find a place for the navy to train... Haha,
Does Ah Fu know now what the prime minister’s intentions are?”
Cao Peng opened his mouth wide and nodded after a while.
However, he seemed to react immediately, turned to look at Xun Yu and said: "Military advisor, do you mean that the prime minister wants to remove Cai Mao?"
"It's just morning and evening."
Cao Peng was not surprised by Xun Yu's answer.
The navy is of extremely important significance to Cao Cao. He will definitely not hand over hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the navy to Cai Hao. Not to mention Cai Hao's ability, just the word "loyalty" is enough.
No way. How could Cao Cao give him the navy?
Seeing Cao Peng's reaction, Xun Yu whispered: "The prime minister's intention is to let the Dongting Navy break away from the Jingzhou Navy.
Before the navy retreated, the prime minister had arranged for Deputy Governor Du Bohou to detach 20,000 people from the Jingzhou navy and station them in Dongting. In name, it was to resist the navy from the east of the Boluoyuan River, but in fact it was to start a new battle.
The convenience of Dongting is to imitate the drill and training of the Chaisang Navy in Jiangdong. On the one hand, it allows Cai Mao to contain the Jiangdong Navy and consume the strength of the Jingzhou Navy; on the other hand, it allows Du Bohou to train the Navy so that when the time is right, it can take advantage of the trend to move eastward.
, and went straight to Jiangdong. You know this, I know it, and no one else can know it."
Cao Peng understands!
Cao Cao is building his own navy team...
Although there is a naval force on Dongling Island, the establishment time is too short and the foundation is too weak. Zhou Cang's naval force is centered on Dongling Island, and with the support of Xuzhou, it can span the lower reaches of the river and block the entrance of the river. But it can
It would be impractical to rely on the Dongling Island navy to conquer Jiangdong. Cai Mao controlled the Jiangdong navy and did not let Cao Cao rest assured. So under the pretext of letting Du Ji rest, he transferred elites from the Jingzhou navy to recuperate and practice in Dongting Lake.
The navy is equivalent to Cao Cao establishing his own navy.
Du Ji was once a subordinate of Cao Peng.
Cai Mao would definitely not be happy with him sharing authority in the army, but he couldn't refuse.
Now that Du Ji is gone and has returned to his old boss's subordinates, Cai Mao will not notice it, but will even be very happy. And Bo Luoyuan's Jiangdong Navy just gave Cao Cao an excuse... In this way, Cao Cao's
The arrangement is really very thorough.
Cao Peng secretly admired Cao Cao's meticulousness.
At the same time, he also understood Xun Yu's intention of setting up the governor's palace in Hanshou.
Hanshou is located in the middle of Dongting, Lingyang, Zuotang, and Yuannan, and is close to Linyuan. It is indeed the best choice.
"In this case, I will establish the Governor's Palace in Hanshou."
"Very good!"
Xun Yu saw that Cao Peng had understood, so he stopped talking and said, "We will rest for one night in Tang Dynasty and set off tomorrow... I have ordered people to make arrangements in Hanshou. You can go to Linyuan first and meet Lai Gong before going to Han."
Shou. Wait for Ling Ming and Wen Chang to arrive in three days and head to Yuannan together."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cao Cao gave Cao Peng the governorship of Jingnan, which was equivalent to returning all military and political affairs to Cao Peng.
But the problem is that although Cao Peng has had the experience of being on his own, he is still young after all. And his opponent this time is also different from before. Although this is not the first time he has fought with Liu Bei, the Liu Bei now is different from the Liu Bei he was in Nanyang.
It cannot be said in the same way...
Having Xun Yu as his support is definitely a good thing for Cao Peng.
Among Cao Cao's five chief planners, Xun Yu's ability must not be underestimated. When he defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao praised Xun Yu as "my son's house". Although most of the time, Xun Yu's performance was not outstanding, in fact
The most indispensable one is Xun Yu.
After all, Xun Yu's vision, strategy and overall view are all outstanding.
Even compared with Xun Yu, Guo Jia is not as good as him.
Cao Peng felt that it would be an excellent opportunity for him to get Xun Yu's help. Therefore, he did not feel restricted by others, but was secretly happy in his heart.
Since the beginning of spring in the 13th year of Jian'an, the river has suddenly become lively.
There were constant ships going to and from both sides of the river, including envoys from Cao Cao, envoys from Liu Bei, and even envoys from as far away as Yizhou.
After Liu Zhang obtained the position of Grand Situ, he immediately became high-spirited.
Perhaps in his opinion, Yizhou's voice cannot be ignored in the upcoming war. So Liu Zhang sent people to Jiangdong and gave Sun Quan 300 strong men... Well, at least that's what Liu Zhang said in the letter.
But when Sun Quan saw the three hundred 'strong men', he almost cried! The so-called strong men were probably from twenty years ago... All of them had gray hair on their temples and looked very thin, and the youngest one was in his forties.
, the oldest one is almost sixty. Is this a 'strong man' or a 'master'!
According to historical records, Liu Zhang presented 300 old soldiers to Jiangdong.
The point is, that 'old man', a group of old soldiers...
But Sun Quan could not refuse, and even had to pay a high price for these three hundred "old soldiers".
Needless to say, gold and silver treasures are reciprocal. Sun Quan had to pinch his nose and respect Liu Zhang as "Da Situ", but in his heart, he was about to fuck Liu Zhang's ancestors for eighteen generations. This guy shouldn't be an official, but should be a
Businessmen are bound to make a lot of money.
Xun Yan is here!
Zhong Yao is here!
Xu Xuan is here!
Chen Qun is here...
In a short period of time, celebrities from the north came to Jiangdong one by one, which made the Jiangdong nobles feel a little scared.
The envoys sent by Yizhou were also very famous. Huang Quan, one of the four great families in Sichuan, was also famous. In comparison, Liu Bei's envoys seemed a little less famous. Zhuge Liang was only thirty years old.
Although the young man has a prominent position in Liu Bei's account, compared with Xun Yan, Zhong Yao and others, he is obviously on a lower level. Naturally, the reception he receives is not as good as others...
Wujun became a place where heroes gathered.
Conspiracies one after another, arguments one after another. Although there is no light or shadow of swords, the murderous intention hidden behind them is still better than fighting on the battlefield.
Sun Quan was harassed by envoys from all sides and had a headache.
Night fell quietly, and Sun Quan returned to his mansion.
He sat on a large, newly made chair and tapped his forehead gently.
Different from the historical Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's expedition to Jingchu did not reveal his ambitions for Jiangdong. On the contrary, Cao Cao showed enough goodwill, and he granted officials and titles, and rewarded gold and silver, not to mention
Sun Quan was flattered by the proposal for marriage.
Likewise, it is precisely for this reason that Jiangdong is relatively stable.
The generals did not have that sense of crisis, and the civil servants did not talk about surrender. Both sides behaved very calmly, mostly observing from the sidelines and observing the changes in the situation. Of course, the Jiangdong nobles represented by Zhang Zhao seemed to be more inclined
Cao Cao hoped that Sun Quan could live in peace with the Cao family instead of getting into a tense situation. The generals, mainly veterans such as Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, still insisted on joining forces with Liu to fight against Cao, but they did not form the formation with Zhang Zhao and others like in history.
Opposition. Their reasons are very clear: the lips are dead and the teeth are cold...
