Chapter 837: Navy
Guo Ma's rebellion was not an accident.
Zhong Hui went on the Northern Expedition and captured Xuchang, which raised his reputation again. However, feeling that the Wu army's combat power was uneven, he deliberately abolished the system of tribal raids and returned the military power controlled by the powerful to the imperial court.
It happened that Xiu Yun died of illness, so he started trying.
In fact, Xiu Yun also inherited his military power from his father Xiu Ze. The Xiu family was only a small powerhouse in Jiangdong, so he was naturally the best candidate to try.
Unexpectedly, one stone stirred up thousands of waves.
Jiangdong's powerful people naturally knew Zhong Hui's intentions, and the Guo-Ma Rebellion broke out in this context.
After receiving all kinds of support, Guo Ma's strength greatly increased. He first attacked and killed Yu Shu, the governor of Guangzhou, and then killed Liu Lue, the prefect of Nanhai. He drove away Xu Qi, the governor of Guangzhou, and hijacked more than 30,000 young men. He claimed to be the governor of Guangzhou and became more and more powerful.
The bigger the situation, the more he wrote to Jianye and challenged Zhonghui: "... Jiangdong has its own old system in Jiangdong. The prime minister insists on going his own way. The scholars and people in Lingnan all resent him. He does not want to cause chaos, but is actually forced by the situation. I heard that the prime minister is quite good at using troops, so he immediately
Waiting in Guangzhou!"
This memorandum is tantamount to a direct slap in the face.
Of course, Guo Ma does have the ability to be arrogant. The climate in Lingnan is harsh and the land is infested with insects, which is not suitable for large-scale operations. All the troops under his command are local natives. They have the right time, place and people in their hands, and the south has received Yang Ji's promise. Naturally,
Don't be afraid of the bell.
If the army is defeated, he will directly defect to the Qin army in Jiaozhou.
Naturally, it also reached Zhong Hui’s ears.
All kinds of nursery rhymes are known to everyone during the ten days.
In fact, the Lu family mobilized like never before. Jiangxia, Chaisang and other Lu family members gathered towards Jiangling. Lu Kang's army already numbered 60,000 to 70,000.
The Wu troops on the ship were showing off their power, waving flags, fighting, and shouting.
Although the Qin army has not moved, there is no need to defend this city. There are internal and external troubles in Jiangdong, and it is impossible to go north to fight with it.
"exchange?"
However, the problem facing Zhong Hui is that if Jingzhou falls, Jiangdong cannot be saved.
Unlike Jianye's 200,000 temporary recruits of men and civilians, these tribes have been fighting against the Shanyue people all year round, and their combat power is much stronger than Jianye's army.
Although there is no evidence to prove that the Lu family is connected with Guo Ma, the Lu family has become the most powerful in Jiangdong.
Zhong Hui has vigorously recruited northerners this year, and with the support of the Yingchuan gentry, the results have been remarkable, but it is a pity that Yang Zheng did not want to give him this opportunity.
However, this is what Zhong Hui does deliberately. Sometimes he must show his strength to deter the enemy and boost his own morale. "With this navy, how can Qin's horse cross the natural chasm of the Yangtze River?"
At this time, Jianye nursery rhymes are everywhere: The moon is about to rise, the sun is about to sink, the city of Jianye is broken, and the gold is thousands of miles away.
All fell into the eyes of the Qin army scouts in the north of the Yangtze River.
Then Zhuge Liang was sent to Qin Dynasty to discuss the exchange.
Tao Huang and Shen Ying both breathed a sigh of relief, "The Prime Minister is wise."
"The Qin army's attack on Jingzhou may be the opportunity we have been waiting for!" Jiang Bin said with bright eyes.
When people have a way out, they naturally become more crazy.
Yiyang and Lujiang surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, cutting off the connection with Xuchang.
"There is no room for loss in Jingzhou. For now, Guangzhou Guoma will be destroyed first." Zhong Hui said calmly.
Emperor Sun Jin issued an edict to appease the people of the country, and Zhong Hui organized civilians to send supplies from Jiangdong to Jingzhou.
Of course these things are nothing to them, but they are extremely influential among the people.
"The people of Qin have always been ambitious. Not only Jingzhou, but Yangzhou and Guangzhou are also eyeing him." Shen Ying cupped her hands and said.
Jiangdong has been plagued by chronic diseases since the founding of the country. Sun Quan could not solve it, and Zhong Hui, an outsider, certainly could not solve it.
Zhong Hui stood up slowly from his knees and paced back and forth with his hands behind his hands. After a long time, he said: "Yang Xingyun is a tiger and a wolf in the world. He is greedy. There will definitely be a battle between Qin and Wu. You should not take any chances. However, there is no chance of a turning point. Although there is no hope in Jiangdong,
You are enterprising but have the power to defend. At this time, you must not fight with each other. Send orders to build industry, provide food, and ordnance to Jiangling. The navy is ready to go up the river at any time to assist the general!"
Jiangdong has not only the four major surnames of Lu, Gu, Zhu and Zhang, but also Chen, Huan, Lu, Dou, Gongsun, Sima, Xu, Fu and other powerful and powerful people.
Zhong will fall, and the Tao family and Shen family will definitely be liquidated by Jiangdong's powerful forces.
Just like the Bu family back then, once they lose power, all their bones will be eaten away.
"Wei!" The generals were shocked.
For Zhong Hui, Yuzhou is not just a place like Xuchang, it is his hometown and the foundation of the Yingchuan gentry.
Otherwise it would not spread quickly.
"A Thousand Miles of Gold is clearly a bell. The soil to the west is Lu Kang, and the gold to the east is a certain. Zhong and Lu are fighting. Qin's cavalry is about to enter Jiangdong." Zhong Hui sneered a few times, "This
Waiting for childish tactics to make generosity laugh."
Zhong Hui is familiar with "The Book of Changes", so he naturally knows what the nursery rhyme is about.
Coupled with the increasing pressure from the north, even the army began to believe it.
Jiang Donghaoqiang watched with cold eyes, staring at every move in Jianye City, waiting to see Zhong Hui's joke.
The Qin army's attack on Jingzhou was not a bad thing for Zhong Hui.
On the vast river, there are four to five thousand large ships of various types, such as Fuchong, Louchuan, Feiyun, Gaihai, Chilong, Chima, Chang'an, etc., with white sails like clouds and hundreds of miles of shafts, covering most of it like a long dragon.
The surface of the river is spectacular.
In the face of big countries, the bargaining chips of small countries are getting smaller and smaller.
What Hao Qiang saw was not the glory of Zhong Hui's victory over Xuchang, but the embarrassment of being blocked in Xuchang, unable to advance or retreat, and nearly ten thousand people freezing to death.
Tao Huang said: "You can send someone to talk to the Qin people, show weakness to the Qin people, delay the time, and test the Qin people's intentions."
The soldiers and people of Jianye were panic-stricken. A prophecy that Qing Gai would enter Luoyang really made Sun Hao enter Luoyang.
Many people just use the banner of the Lu family.
"Yong'an, Xiangyang, and Nanzhong are heavily armed, and I'm afraid they will attack Jingzhou in the near future!" Tao Huang was worried.
Tao Huang and Shen Ying looked at each other and said, "Sooner or later, Xuchang will fall into the hands of the Qin people. It's better to exchange for my opinion."
Shen Ying, Ding Wen and others will assemble the Jiangdong navy.
"The Qin people may agree to exchange half of Yuzhou for one Shouchun." Shen Ying's voice became softer as she spoke.
Lu Kang's defeat meant that the entire Lu family was in decline and was no longer qualified to fight against Zhong Hui.
The Guo horses in the south are causing chaos, the Qin army is squeezing in the north, and the east of the Yangtze River is in turmoil.
Zhong Yi cupped his hands and said, "Xuchang has become an enclave. I wonder how my father plans to clean it up?"
Jianye's counterattack also began. Tao Huang, Tao Jun, and Tao Kang led an army of 7,000 troops and 10,000 men to go south to attack Guoma.
The reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold couldn't be simpler.
In the west, native trees grow, and in the east, gold cuts down trees. When metal and earth meet, iron horses enter the east of the Yangtze River...
After Zhong Hui returned from Xuchang, he brought back a large number of Yingchuan children and placed them in important positions in Jiangdong, which seriously violated the interests of Jiangdong's powerful people.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Zhong Hui asked everyone.
Wu Jun's Northern Expedition always stretched his hips, but his defense was extremely strong.
Cao Cao's 200,000 Northern Army, plus 100,000 Jingzhou Navy, were still defeated by Zhou Yu's 30,000 Navy.
Over the past few decades, the Northern Army has marched south several times, but all of them failed and returned in despair.
Seeing the momentum of the navy, all the civil and military officials in Jiangdong were half-hearted.
