Human desires are always endless until the day they fall completely.
When Fei Qian and Cao Cao finally faced each other, the happiest person was not anyone else, but Sun Quan. Maybe it was too much to say that he was gloating about his misfortune, but it was true that he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. After all, Sun Quan had been holding back in Jiangdong for a long time.
He even thought it might have become moldy.
The weather in Jiangdong starts to rain in various ways after March.
It rained once or twice, which was refreshing, but as time went by, when he saw mold spots of various colors appearing silently in every corner of the house, Sun Quan always felt a turmoil in his heart.
I feel an irritable mood, as if I am gradually getting moldy.
When the news of Fei Qian's dispatch of troops to Hangu Pass finally reached Sun Quan, Sun Quan drank directly from the afternoon to the evening that day, and then drank until he was unconscious. However, the next change made Sun Quan feel as if a hundred claws were scratching his heart.
If it doesn't work, it seems like a fight is about to start, but when the kick is about to kick, both parties stop their hands. What on earth is going on?
While waiting, Jingzhou became lively...
This made Sun Quan's heart suddenly move again.
Jiangxia.
It was once a place that both Sun Jian and Sun Ce could not forget. However, Sun Quan slightly revealed his intention to invade, but found everyone's opposition.
"Brothers are fighting against each other," Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan and said slowly, "If there is a foreign enemy at this time, we must join hands with each other to defend against foreign enemies... The Lord's move will not only win over Jiangxia, but also make Jingxiang wary."
, is definitely not advisable.』
Lu Su also nodded and said: "Although the Jingzhou herdsmen are old now, they have been working hard for many years and have great expectations. In addition, sending troops at this time will inevitably lead to unknown troops, which is quite inappropriate. I hope my lord will think again."
"Why did the army come from Wuming?" Sun Quan said, "Jingzhou harmed my father and brother because he was a righteous soldier!" Sun Quan was a little angry, especially when he saw that even Lu Su, who was usually more supportive of him, said this.
Zhang Zhao frowned.
Revenge actually doesn't mean much. Many times the so-called "revenge" is just a cover, just like when Sun Ce raised the flag of revenge, but he didn't say that he must fight to the death.
Once it is built, it is standard equipment, so how can it be taken out again and again to shake it up?
Furthermore, revenge is a personal matter after all. Just like in history, Liu Bei promised to avenge Guan Yu, and then got involved with Zhang Fei, and even lost the capital accumulated in Sichuan and Shu for more than ten years in Yiling.
But then you didn’t shout for revenge every day?
In the face of the overall situation, personal grievances are always secondary.
"We also know your lord's intention..." Lu Su said, "The world is in turmoil now, and it's time to save up. The disputes in Jiangxia are just beginning, and they are not yet clear. Why don't you, lord, wait and see, and make some preparations to wait for them?"
When there is a flaw, it will be decided in one fell swoop.』
Zhang Zhao also nodded in agreement with Lu Su's prudent words.
Sun Quan looked around, then gritted his teeth, and finally suppressed his restless heart, and said: "In this case, I will follow your words..."
Zhang Zhao nodded and went back with an expression that showed that the boy could finally be taught something. Lu Su bowed his hands and was about to leave, but Sun Quan stopped him and left him alone.
"Zijing..." Sun Quan clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, "Please tell me frankly, why are you unwilling to send troops?" To be honest, when it comes to savings, there are some savings, and when it comes to soldiers, there are not many soldiers. At the same time,
Jiangxia is also an important area to control Jiangdong. If you go down the river from Jiangxia, you can attack Wujun and other places. If you take Jiangxia, Jiangdong will naturally be safer. Sun Quan can see this, and I believe Zhang Zhao and others
People can also see it, but the problem is that Zhang Zhao and others are still unwilling to send troops.
The so-called reasons why brothers are fighting against each other and being wary are just like Sun Quan saying that he would send troops in the name of revenge. They are all used to deceive people. If you don't take the opportunity to do something when brothers are fighting against each other, why don't you wait for the brothers to reconcile?
When the time comes, he will send troops again? The vigilance is even more ridiculous. When did Jingzhou not warn Jiangdong? Could it be that if Sun Quan didn't send troops, there would be nothing, but if he sent troops, there would be?
But Sun Quan knew that even if he asked, Zhang Zhao would not tell the truth. He would definitely still use other words to evade him, as if he was still a child.
So Sun Quan only asked Lu Su.
Lu Su was silent for a moment and said, "My Lord, does he know the current season?"
Sun Quan was speechless. After a while, he burst out laughing. Then he cupped his hands to Lu Su and said, "I was negligent... Thank you Zijing for your advice..."
Lu Su returned the courtesy quickly, saying he didn't dare. Then he looked at Sun Quan, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't and left again.
Sun Quan could probably guess what Lu Su wanted to say, but just as Lu Su guessed, Sun Quan didn't like to hear it, so Lu Su didn't say anything at all, and everyone saved some affection and dignity.
Yes, face.
But what is underneath the face?!
Sun Quan sat with his eyes closed, his hands on his thighs, and the muscles on his cheeks jumped.
When Lu Su said "season", Sun Quan understood that it was not that these guys didn't know the benefits of Jiang Xia, but that these people felt that the immediate benefits must be obtained first!
Now is the turn of spring and summer, which is also the busiest time in the fields. Weeding, watering, top dressing, repairing houses and sheds, etc. are almost all done in the fields anyway. Naturally, it is impossible and unwilling to do so.
The manpower was taken away to support Sun Quan's so-called "War of Revenge".
For these Jiangdong gentry families, the things in their own manors are truly guaranteed to be obtained. However, it depends on the situation in Jiangxia. They may not gain much despite their efforts. In comparison, it is natural to ensure first.
If your own interests are not harmed, then let’s talk about other things...
Therefore, Sun Quan's proposal had no support, so it became inevitable. Of course, Lu Su's subtext was that it might be okay to wait until after the autumn harvest before discussing this matter.
But the question is, will the hussar generals Fei Qian and Sikong Cao Cao wait until everyone on Sun Quan's side is ready?
What does surprise mean?
Sun Quan held his breath.
You must have generals and soldiers under your own control!
Must have!
Otherwise, such frustrating days will never end!
Sun Quan made up his mind and was ready to immediately start looking for some civilian generals to promote and build his own team. This idea was not wrong, but Sun Quan still did not consider it thoroughly, which posed hidden dangers...
……o(︶︿︶)o……
Countless intelligence, like flowing water, is gathering in Heluo and Luoyang. Not only is it directed at Cao Cao, but also about Guanzhong and Beidi, and even Pang Tong forwarded information about Sichuan and Shu to report about Jianning.
Follow-up information in the area.
With the help of Li Hui's uncle, local snake Cuan Xi, Jianning successfully instigated the rebellion of Meng Yan. Well, he was indeed not a cute guy. Well, Meng Huo. Meng Huo was just a small school captain at this time.
, on the contrary, Meng Yan is more famous.
Meng Yan defected before the battle, which naturally caught some of the remaining resistance forces in Jianning by surprise. In the end, there was not much suspense about the development of the situation in Jianning...
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Feiqian.
As for the snow area, because of the long distance and the fact that there was no message transmission network on that side, there was no new information transmitted. However, Yang Fu has always been calm and should be proceeding step by step. Most likely
There won't be any big problem.
Xiqiang is generally stable. I don't know if it is because they have moved too much over the years and are weak, or because they have successively eliminated several leader-level figures. Xiqiang is now scattered and out of control. Under Jia Xu's control,
There was no bubble at all, so Fei Qian had nothing to worry about.
In Xianbei in the north, although Bu Dugen defeated Kebineng, its own losses were also very large. Coupled with the soldiers stationed in the Yinshan area, the overall situation was pretty good.
Overall, at this stage, Fei Qian's surroundings have finally stabilized, and the only thing he has to face is the current direction of Cao Cao.
Fei Qian had no way to fully predict the impact of his actions, nor could he look at the current situation from an omniscient and omnipotent perspective. He could only rely on his own abilities to move forward as cautiously as possible, so ever
After Fei Qian discussed with Xun You, he sent Zhao Yun, Zhang Chen and others to make a feint attack to confuse the opponent, and also to observe Cao Cao's arrangement.
The clarity of the battlefield is always a big issue in war.
Just like the real-time strategy games of later generations, it does not mean that all masters do a good job in investigation, but when most low-level players fail, it is often due to lack of investigation, missing a dragon tower, and missing a dark temple.
Palace, may affect the entire battle situation.
Now that Zhang Chen and Zhao Yun were around, Fei Qian was naturally reassured. Zhang Chen and his party represented the nearby Hanoi. Cao Jun did not deploy a strong force. Cao Jun only pursued self-protection in Hanoi and had no intention of doing so.
Arrangements for a sneak attack at Luoyang or Hangu.
Zhao Yun, on the other hand, unexpectedly encountered Xia Houyuan and defeated Xia Houyuan!
This undoubtedly relieved a lot of pressure for Fei Qian.
Of course, this is only based on Zhang Chen's detection and Cao Jun's current reaction. If Cao Cao has redeployed his deployment after this, it is another matter.
If Cao Cao spread suspicion and used false appearances to deceive Zhang Chen and Zhao Yun, it is not completely impossible, but after all, the possibility is relatively low, because the price is very high, and even a little carelessness can lead to a complete loss.
It was at the point of collapse, so if Cao Cao hadn't been desperate, he definitely wouldn't have made such an arrangement.
Therefore, at least at this moment, the entire map around Heluo is transparent enough for Fei Qian.
Only those who understand cavalry will fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry. Speaking of it, cavalry is a bit like a Chinese chess horse. It pulls the opponent's line while jumping repeatedly, advances and retreats quickly, and is very flexible, but one of its weaknesses is
Don't be blocked. The second thing is don't be forced into a corner.
Fei Qian is now in Luoyang, which means he can move in three directions. There are so many changes that even Cao Cao can't fully judge Fei Qian's specific target direction. He can only proceed on the entire front in the north and south.
We go to assist in defense, and we don't care about the weak points in the east-west direction.
On the contrary, if Fei Qian chooses one of these three directions, then the original change will naturally be reduced to one-third, which is naturally welcomed by Cao Cao and easier to target. On the contrary, for Fei Qian
In other words, it undoubtedly reduces the space for movement, which is not conducive to fully displaying the threatening power of the cavalry.
Now, Hanoi's feint attack and Yanzhou's defeat are like sweeping out two roads on the chessboard, and at the same time spreading out a larger space for movement. Under such circumstances, Fei Qian believes that the conditions for heading south to Yuzhou are:
I can finally be said to be mature...
Speaking of which, Cao Cao's current military situation is actually worse than what it was in history.
Although Cao Cao's army was historically composed of four parties, there were still quite a few places where he was quite good, including Hedong and Hanoi, the restored Guanzhong, the originally populous Yuzhou and Jizhou, and the fierceness of the Qingzhou soldiers.
There are a lot of legacies left by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, leading to the time of Red Cliff, Cao Cao was simply at his peak!
After Red Cliff, the road to supporting war with war was cut off. Naturally, Cao Cao's internal conflicts broke out, causing Cao Cao to move downward from that time, switching from offense to defense.
But now, Fei Qian has occupied Guanzhong and started planning and arrangements earlier, making the economy and armaments stronger than Cao Cao at this stage. From this reconnaissance contact, we can know that Cao Cao's overall strength is at least higher than in history
Nearly one-third is missing, the equipment is disorganized, and equipment is lacking. After continuous fighting, it is inevitable that the local defense force will be old and weak but not strong and strong.
Even so, compared to ordinary princes, Cao Cao, who has been in a state of war for a long time, kept fighting all the way, and became more and more skilled in fighting, his current strength cannot be ignored, especially the infantry. If Naphi dives
Compared with Cao Cao's infantry, the equipment of Cao Cao's infantry may be superior, but the madness and bloody bravery when facing battle may not be comparable.
Therefore, it is not easy to conquer the city where Cao Jun is stationed, but if you are just passing by to make soy sauce, haha...
Making soy sauce also requires skills, otherwise you will only be stained with black oil on your hands.
If Fei Qian wants to reach Xu County, there are three places where he must break through head-on. One is Yangcheng Mountain, the other is naturally Yangcheng, then Yangzhai, and finally he can reach Xu County.
Yangcheng Mountain and Yangcheng were integrated into one, and Xiahou Dun was probably stationed for defense, while Yangzhai was the home base of the Yingchuan gentry. Most of them were the same as in Xu County, and Xun Yu was responsible for dispatching troops and generals.
"Let Zhang Wenyuan be the front and Zhao Zilong be the rear..." Fei Qian stood at the top of Luoyang City and ordered, "Let's go out tomorrow!"
