Chapter 2295: Gradually unified thinking
Cao Cao looked at the letters in his hand and said that during this period, there were information sent to him that he had to personally pass on.
The first thing I sent was the information about Anxu and Rome from Cao Zhen and Sima Yi. These information were factual things that Sima Yi and Cao Zhen themselves saw, which were extremely shocking. In short, after reading it, Cao Cao inexplicably gave birth to the feeling of whether I was a frog in the well.
Especially the dazzling variety of elite talents of the Roman Legion and the universality displayed on different battlefields, even Cao Cao sighed secretly.
As for Anxu, although it was a bit weaker than the Romans, the combat power of the 100,000 elite legions of the same attributes burst out with mutual coordination, even if Cao Cao didn't really see it, he felt extremely powerful.
As expected, I was just a frog in the well before. No wonder Liu Bei didn't want to force unification all year round. It was not a good thing to lose the national strength of the Han Empire when he had such a great enemy outside. However, with such an opponent, Cao Cao was completely excited.
Cao Cao's ideal is to conquer the general in the west. Since the West has such a powerful enemy, it is more meaningful to conquer it. He will bring the barbarians into the Central Plains, expand the territory and establish an unparalleled cause. Cao Cao is very excited to think about it.
As for the second letter, it was a normal letter from Sun Ce to Cao Cao. Just like Cao Cao’s transfer of domestic assets, Zhou Yu was also transferring assets. Both parties secretly mentioned it in the letter, and then they started to do this tacitly.
By the way, the one who communicated with Cao Cao was actually Zhou Yu. Sun Ce’s understanding of these things basically belonged to, ah, if you leave it to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu will do something by himself, so I don’t have to worry about it.
Of course, Zhou Yu’s work is indeed pretty good, but unlike the bridgehead that Cao Cao has already settled, there is something wrong with the establishment of Zhou Yu’s bridgehead.
Shi Xie did not mean to stop him, and expressed his willingness to give the Qiongzhou he had recently obtained to Zhou Yu's troops. Even if Sun Ce was willing, they could lend Sun Ce's troops to Sun Ce's troops as well. Zhou Yu thought about it and agreed.
Although Zhou Yu also knew that Shi Xie was definitely not completely kind, with Sun Ce's current strength, he was not worried that the other party would cheat him, so Zhou Yu took over the two counties that Shi Xie had rented.
However, as a price, Zhou Yu said that if our Jiangdong troops stationed in Qiongya and Jiuzhen County, it would be too difficult for Rinan County to transport grain, and I hope Shixie will support it.
Shi Xie was almost targeted by Sun Ce some time ago. In order to buy safety, he spent money and grain to send a lot of food and dried fish to the three princes before the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. When Sun Ce came back, he couldn't fight Shi Xie anymore. Shi Xie said that I was very happy and should do a good job in bilateral relations with Sun Ce as much as possible.
Then Liu Bei invited Shi Xie to attend the military parade. After this time, in addition to seeing Liu Bei's unstoppable combat power, what shocked Shi Xie the most was the commander-in-chief of the decisive battle in the Northern Xinjiang, that is, the commander-in-chief was Zhou Yu, the brother of Sun Ce next door.
Shi Xie clearly felt for the first time what it means to be unable to provoke. He originally felt that Jiaozhou was high and the emperor was far away, with a complex terrain and a scattered miasma. As long as he was prepared and kept his nest well, even if he couldn't beat Sun Ce, Sun Ce himself needed to consider the losses.
However, after seeing Zhou Yu's terrible record, Shi Xie felt a little worried and thought he would admit defeat. Besides, the Han Dynasty did not fall, so I would admit defeat to Sun Ce. I would give him some food, jewelry, and fish. At most, it would be considered to support nearby prefectures and counties, right? There is no shame in it.
There is no way. If Shi Xie was told, he was confident that he would definitely be able to block Sun Ce's army. After he came out, Shi Xie felt that he was like the salted fish in the frying pan. Zhou Yu could turn it through whatever he wanted. To be honest, Zhou Yu, who is only 25 now, has a record of crazier than Ma Yuan after the Battle of Northern Xinjiang.
Think about how the Lingnan and Jiaozhou were flat back then. The so-called terrain is dangerous, the environment is harsh, and the miasma is everywhere. I am a ghost for famous generals. If I can’t afford to offend, I’d better admit defeat.
This is also the reason why Zhou Yu was confident that he sent someone to say what he was going to do and Shi Xie would definitely give him face. As for the two counties that Shi Xie gave him for free, he heard that there was a rebellion on it, so Zhou Yu didn't take it seriously at all. It was no big deal.
After that, Zhou Yu did something similar to Cao Cao. He secretly began to transfer Jiangdong's background and secretly mobilized all his cards that had not been played to Rinan County, Qiongzhou and Jiuzhen County. However, unlike what Shi Xie said, that place was no longer a problem of disobeying the king's name. It was actually a rebel flag, and it was very fierce.
Zhou Yu could only send people to pacify and train troops first. How could he be lost in the areas occupied by his ancestors? Just natives wanted to raise the flag of the anti-bank and all went on their way.
Zhou Yu has not yet pacified the two counties, so he can't beat them. The biggest problem is that the other party won't fight you at all.
In addition, Zhou Yu himself cannot pass, and the strategic talent who can stand alone, Zhou Yu expressed helplessness. Pang Tong and Cheng Pu cannot move. Everyone else is problematic children and dare not let them do it alone. Just like Li Yan's ability is fine, but he dare not throw it alone, something will happen if he goes out. Zhou Yu is also tired.
Therefore, this matter was dragged down. After getting Zhu Zhi, Huo Jun, Zhu Huan and others over a batch, Zhou Yu stopped staring at him. Just fight, just be a training soldier. Zhou Yu was also angry.
After Liu Bei's military parade last year, Zhou Yu's focus has shifted from military strategy to training. After looking at the infantry in the north, Zhou Yu finally realized that the Jiangdong infantry was full of croquettes. So Zhou Yu began to select infantry from various places and began to carry out intensive training since last year.
Anyway, the infantry in Jiangdong can basically shoot archers. Zhou Yu thought it was not equipped with shields, armor and other things, and generally there was no need for melee combat. Therefore, Zhou Yu's positioning of Jiangdong infantry is very clear. Most long-range archers can ensure that they have counterattack power in melee combat.
The remaining few infantry have only two positions. One is to be able to penetrate the opponent's defense line when necessary, and the other can provide defense for archers. As for the others, Zhou Yu said that they are not needed. These three are enough to be the foundation of Jiangdong infantry.
The first problem was solved. Zhou Yu felt that it was nothing. Targeted training was that Jiangdong archers had strong upper limbs. The reason why they were not strong in close combat was that they wanted to run away when they saw others rushing over. Zhou Yu caught 30,000 veterans for training, half of which was used to pick up Danyang's cooperation, and half of which were based on their feelings.
Zhou Yu's level of training is actually very high, and his talent is particularly good, so he quickly found the feeling that when the soldiers' qualities are reliable, Zhou Yu quickly trained an elite talent, group concerts, which can allow a large number of soldiers to cooperate with one talent.
To put it simply, under the guidance of this talent, a veteran makes the correct moves, which will affect the cooperation of many soldiers around him. The deeper the talent, the more tacit this cooperation is, but this is not what Zhou Yu wants.
To be precise, the infantry in the north will have strong combat power with this talent, but in the south, especially the current Jiangdong infantry, let’s save money. When the enemy rushed over, they wanted to run away, and Zhou Yu was also in a bad mood.
Five thousand people were left for others to take to Rinan County. Zhou Yu continued to train the remaining 25,000. This time it took a little longer than the last time. Zhou Yu successfully changed his talent and predicted that he could not resist. This time, because he was training with the archers, he had such a thing.
Zhou Yu sent five thousand people to Rinan County again with a expressionless face. This talent would be very strong for the northern infantry, but the southern...
Zhou Yu continued to train the remaining 20,000 people, and spent a while more time. After training, he suddenly stabbed. Zhou Yu silently sent 5,000 people to Rinan County again. This talent would be very strong for the northern infantry, but the South...
After a while, the remaining 15,000 people Zhou Yu were trained to attack by Zhou Yu and dull weapons. Zhou Yu silently repeated the last time, this talent...
After that, Zhou Yu trained again and found a shock attack. This was another elite talent that was extremely powerful for the northern infantry. So Zhou Yu disbanded the legion and found Sun Ce, saying that he had no choice but to tell Sun Ce to let Sun Ce train and train something else by himself.
However, less than two months after Zhou Yu left, Sun Ce did something that Zhou Yu could not achieve. The ten thousand people were fooled by Sun Ce and solved the problem. The elite talent was tortured by Sun Ce and became fearless. Sun Ce led him to roar and roar everywhere every day, and Zhou Yu was convinced.
In this way, the problem of Jiangdong infantry was barely solved. It is obvious that the problem of Jiangdong infantry is not dependent on quality, but on mind. When Sun Ce made this with brainless training, the biggest problem of Jiangdong infantry had been successfully solved.
As for the other two legions, Zhou Yu barely developed a framework, training and researching. Anyway, training and other things are not difficult for Zhou Yu, so Zhou Yu was at ease with the training and transferring domestic assets while communicating with Cao Cao.
Until a lot of messy news came not long ago that made Zhou Yu feel overwhelmed.
For example, news from the Roman Empire, news from the Silence Empire, and news from the Kushan Empire. After communicating with Cao Cao, and comparing the news from Sun Quan and Cao Zhen, both sides knew what kind of power their opponents had.
Under this circumstance, the connection between Cao Cao and Sun Ce became closer, and the idea of fighting with Liu Bei became even weaker, from the so-called battle to the decisive outcome of a war.
However, not long after, even Cao Cao had no time to issue rescue orders to Cao Ren, Xu Huang and Pang De, and the new letter was delivered to Cao and Sun.
