Chapter 2278: Inside and outside the city, Jiangnan and Jiangbei
Heroes are often rare species, and are easily consumed, and are naturally targets of fire, so even in the game, if there is no resurrection altar, it will be very troublesome.
But there is no altar of resurrection in real life, and there is no altar for the big man now either.
Therefore, it is not easy to be a hero. It will attract the hostile eyes of enemies and the knife from behind. Of course, there will also be followers who come here for fame...
Tian Yu thinks that he is not a hero, but he is willing to follow heroes.
At first, Tian Yu thought Gongsun Zan was a hero, because Gongsun Zan rode a white horse across Youbei, attacked Wuhuan in the east, and rejected Xianbei in the north. He even made a deafening voice and declared that he would surround Youzhou and drive out the Hulu. Everything was so consistent with a hero.
standards.
But later Tian Yu suddenly discovered that Gongsun Zan had changed...
Become less heroic.
Especially when Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu were fighting, they were not so dedicated to the country and the people. When Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, the remaining glory disappeared, and what was left was a world full of glory.
He's just a greedy warrior who doesn't give good advice.
After that, Tian Yu also once set his sights on Gongsun Zan's opponent, Yuan Shao.
The Fourth Generation and the Third Duke, Li Xian Corporal, at first Yuan Shao had the appearance of a hero and the foundation of a hero. However, after the Han Fu incident, Tian Yu discovered that Yuan Shao was only a hero of the nobles, not a hero of the common people.
Yuan Shao didn't care about the people, not even the emperor. Can such a person be regarded as a hero of the Han Dynasty?
Later, Tian Yu discovered Liu Bei.
Liu Bei is a hero.
Tian Yu still has no doubt about this.
Some people say Liu Bei is hypocritical, some people say Liu Bei is hypocritical, some people ridicule Liu Bei for not knowing how high the sky is, some people laugh at Liu Bei for being wishful thinking...
People who gave up their childhood dreams because of others' ridicule when they were young will not understand that a peasant boy who weaves mats and sells shoes dares to say "I will ride on this feather-covered carriage".
People who allowed themselves to be bullied by others without daring to resist when they were young, and who gradually smoothed away their edges and let their blood cool down, will not understand that there are people in the world who would whip their bosses in anger and then leave with their seals hung.
In middle age, the heart of a boy has already died in his gradually rounded belly, and all he has to say is humaneness and sophistication. Occasionally, I learned from a story at the wine table that someone once shed tears because of the rebirth of his thighs. I couldn't help but sneer at him for being a fool.
For those who are over fifty years old, it is so good to eat and drink. As for the words "Don't ignore good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil deeds because they are small", I will still laugh out loud, and then say sarcastically, saying this
The person who said this must be very hypocritical, right?
Liu Bei is a hero for the common people.
If his mother had not been seriously ill at that time, perhaps Tian Yu would still be following Liu Bei now.
As for Cao Cao?
Cao Cao is not a hero, never has been.
In other words, Cao Cao is a hero without a "heart". If there is no cavalry general Fei Qian in this world, perhaps Tian Yu will choose Cao Cao in the end. Because Cao Cao, a hero without a "heart", is the greatest hope for the Han Dynasty to pacify, at least
It is the hope for the stability of the north and south of the river, and the hope for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
It's a pity that there is another Feiqian now.
From General Protecting Hungary to General Zhengxi, and then from General Zhengxi to General Hussars, Tian Yu heard a lot of rumors, but Tian Yu felt that he should come and take a look in person to see what Tian Yu considered a hero.
What kind of person is this hussar who has so many people impressed by him?
Because whether it is official or commercial, although the Han Dynasty is currently divided into the East and West Shangshu, they have not isolated the exchanges, nor are they at war with each other. It is just that it will be more troublesome when passing the checkpoints on the East and West sides, and the items to be checked
It's just a little more. Tian Yu said that he was a descendant of the gentry who was studying abroad, and he used a fake name. Since he didn't bring any contraband, it wasn't really that troublesome.
Tian Yu was born in Youzhou, and he has been harassed by barbarians since he was a child. Whether it was Wuhuan or Xianbei, he would always come here every few years.
However, the Han Dynasty, including the early local officials in Youzhou, turned a blind eye.
Anyway, the barbarians are here, and they cannot stay for long. Once the winter snow comes, these barbarians will retreat on their own, so why go to all the trouble of fighting for life or death?
Anyway, when the Hu people came to Youzhou, what they plundered were not the women and children of the officials’ homes, and what they took away were not the property of the officials’ homes, so why bother with so much?
Even some daring people can take advantage of the arrival of the barbarians and seize the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune...
As for how to "get promoted and make a fortune", need we say more?
Tian Yu's requirements are not high, he just hopes that the hero is a human being, a real man, not a beast wearing a human skin, having a human mouth, but only the head of a pig and the intestines of a wolf dog.
Well, maybe Tian Yu thinks this standard is not high, but in fact it is relatively high at the level of officials?
Tian Yu didn't know very well, so he wanted to see clearly, especially the hussar general Fei Qian. Unfortunately, when he arrived in Chang'an, Fei Qian happened to go to Yinshan, so Tian Yu could only stay there temporarily.
After coming down, I didn't dare to live in the main city of Chang'an, so I found a mausoleum on the outskirts and rented half of the courtyard.
The half yard is because one yard can be rented by two people. The individual rental fee is lower, but the overall rent is higher. Both the tenant and the landlord are laughing.
Then, before Tian Yu could wait for the cavalry general Fei Qian, he waited for the big-picture troll Mi Heng.
When Mi Heng arrived in Chang'an, the scene was very grand.
Of course, this pomp is only for the children of the gentry, neither high nor low. Children at high levels have their own things to do, and they don’t necessarily have to meet a big troll, even if the troll is somewhat famous.
, lower-level people are busy making a living every day, and they also don’t have much time to pay attention to trolls.
Tian Yu didn't want to go at first, but he was out of curiosity, so forget it if he didn't know. After finding out, he felt a little concerned, and since he didn't have any official duties, he followed some people to the east gate of Chang'an.
Most of the high-end private residences in Chang'an City are concentrated near Xuanping Gate, while to the south are the two palaces that are being renovated slowly. There are not many craftsmen working, they are always being built, and they are never completed.
Tian Yu understands that this construction is an attitude. Even if the construction is not completed, it is also an attitude. Just like the people who greeted Mi Heng, they also seem to be doing it for an attitude.
When Tian Yu arrived at Xuanpingmen, there were not many good seats left, so he could only stand on the far side. After waiting for a while, he heard the crowd in the distance becoming agitated, and someone shouted, "Come on, come on."
, and when I looked further into the distance, I saw some faint smoke and dust rising. Not long after, I saw a line of carriages and horses coming slowly.
Needless to say, among the carriages and horses, the one sitting on the canopy carriage is Ni Heng.
While Tian Yu was sizing up Mi Heng, Mi Heng was sizing up Chang'an City.
When you were in the plains, Mi Heng was someone else's child, representing glory and pride. Then Mi Heng walked into the metropolis with full confidence and longing, and was splashed with a wave of ice water. He acted as a background for a while.
After defeating the board, Mi Heng was unwilling to give up and wanted to rise. His desire to move up was noticed by an investor, so they joined hands and Mi Heng stepped onto the stage like a shining star.
Mi Heng naturally became famous in one fell swoop, just like when no one asked about something, and then the world knew about it. However, Mi Heng discovered that becoming famous was not as satisfying as he originally imagined. The capital side has its own considerations. To put it simply,
It's just for profit. As for what Mi Heng thinks, it doesn't matter at all.
The capital side liquidates the money invested in the early stage again, leaves the market, and makes a lot of money. Then you Heng is like a piece of chewed sugarcane bagasse, discarded at will.
Once it was thrown away, it ended up right here with General Fei Qian.
Among the crowd, greetings and greetings sounded one after another. "Brother Ni" and "Wen Zheng" flew together, and "Xiong Tai" and "Brother Xian" danced.
Ni Heng is entering Chang'an City, but his mind is outside the city.
Although these people outside the city are standing outside the city, their thoughts are inside the city.
The convoy of men and horses did not stop because of these ordinary nobles, but went straight into the city slowly. Anyway, for the soldiers guarding Mi Heng along the way, their errands were handed over only when they arrived in the city, so they would definitely not do it for
These ordinary noblemen stopped for a while.
The moment he entered the city gate, Mi Heng suddenly felt something. He turned around and met Tian Yu's gaze from afar...
The next moment, the city wall blocked off the space.
One person is inside and one person is outside.
……(╯︵╰)……
Not every guest who comes has some preparations and plans like Tian Yu and Mi Heng. There are also some uninvited guests who come uninvited.
It was like Zhou Yu came to visit unexpectedly and gave Yu Jin a surprise.
Or rather frightened.
It's like I was planning to take a good rest during the holidays, and then I received a call from an old classmate I hadn't contacted in ten or twenty years...
Not happy?
Do you dare to move?
Then my old classmate coughed a few times when he called me. Do you want to see me or not?
Yu Jin is training troops in the new city. The most important thing is to train a navy team belonging to Cao Jun as soon as possible and get rid of the disadvantageous situation of completely relying on Jingzhou navy...
Of course, the current Jingzhou Navy is not as complete as it was in history, so Cao Cao's fear of the Jingzhou Navy is naturally not as deep as in history.
The navy and the army are completely different. This difference is not described or mentioned in any of the Han's current art of war.
When it comes to the art of war, in the Three Kingdoms there is no way around people like Captain Zhu, but what is very interesting is that not all of these people’s art of war comes from their family traditions, nor are they the kind of people who outsmart everyone as soon as they come on stage.
Instead, it slowly grows in practice.
Those who like to use their brains to think will definitely gain more experience points, and those like Zhou Yu who have gained experience on the battlefield since they were young, coupled with Zhou Yu's brains, will naturally have a high military level.
.
Hefei New City is guarded by Jin, and there are not many troops. Moreover, if you take the waterway, you have to go through a winding waterway from the river to New City, and it is blessed by mountains on both sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so Yu Jin is stationed here.
It's relatively stable.
But the good times in life are always short-lived...
As Zhou Yu returned to Chaisang and began to make combat arrangements, Yu Jin's good days were over.
"Is this a frontal attack?"
"Then what happened to some of the ships upstream?"
"Or are you just trying to contain this place, and are you actually planning to march into Jingzhou again?"
Yu Jin looked at Zhou Yu's arrangement and scratched his head.
Cao Cao's naval force was not very strong to begin with, well, or almost zero. Historically, after incorporating the Jingzhou navy, Cao Cao was both happy and worried, very contradictory. On the one hand, he had to use Jingzhou people to train and lead the navy.
On the one hand, the navy was extremely worried. It was not until later that they transferred Cai Mao and others to Jizhou and let their own people take over the navy, and then they managed to get along well.
Cao Cao did not kill Cai Mao, it was Mr. Luo who framed him, uh, it was artistically manipulated.
From this perspective, Cao Jun's navy has always been not very good. After all, only professional people can do professional things well. The more a layman directs, the more chaotic it will be.
Yu Jin was very cautious. He had sentry towers and scouts 200 miles away, so he knew as soon as Zhou Yu and others entered the reconnaissance range. He also knew clearly that a team of about five or six thousand people left Chaisang.
, but Yu Jin knows that he knows, the key is that he can't beat him.
Yu Jin's troops are not unlimited. If they just focus on defense, of course, the problem will not be big, but if they want to go further, problems will arise.
Yu Jin was right to be cautious, and soon he felt the pressure.
This pressure comes from the strategic and tactical level, from the ability of the soldiers, and even from the physical fitness of the warship...
Zhou Yu's naval command skills are at least S level and above, while Yu Jin Dingtian is an A. In addition, Jiangdong has always been better than Cao Jun in terms of the quality of soldiers and warships. When the large and small ships advanced hand in hand, they began to pull out the troops.
When Yu Jin was at the sentry tower along the river, Yu Jin didn't have much power to fight back.
They were even bullied by Jiangdong's navy to the edge of the water stronghold. When the armor of Jiangdong's ship opened the windows, sharp arrows and stone bullets flew out from the ship and flew towards Cao Jun.
The soldiers of Cao's army in the water stronghold were crying out in agony.
Yu Jin couldn't bear it anymore...
Go to war!
Even as an opponent, Yu Jin quite envied and admired the Jiangdong Navy, especially the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy who were on the ups and downs of the building ships. They could make timely adjustments based on the correction of the military academy's passwords in the building ships.
The angle and direction of the shooting, and then the continuous suppression of the water stronghold, have to be said to be quite remarkable. Compared with these well-trained Jiangdong sailors, are these navy soldiers under Yu Jin...
The two sides fought a small scale battle. Cao Jun dispatched three large ships and more than ten medium-sized warships. The Jiangdong side was similar, and even had slightly fewer medium-sized ships than Cao Jun. However, the result of the battle made Yu Jin very helpless.
Very surprised. On the one hand, Jiangdong suffered very little battle damage. The only medium-sized battleship that was destroyed was towed back by the Jiangdong people. On the other hand, more than ten battleships on his own side were almost half damaged, and that was regarded by Yu Ban as
It was a treasure-like building ship, and a stone bullet from the Jiangdong navy successfully smashed into the side shooting window, almost penetrating the cabin!
If it was just luck, then Yu Jin wouldn't be too worried, but now from the perspective of battle losses, this is not a matter of luck. The gap between the two sides in water battles is huge.
Faced with such a battle result, Yu Jin could only helplessly start to shrink the defense line. At the same time, he passed the news of Zhou Yu's attack back to Jingzhou, so that Cao Ren in Jingzhou could prepare...
While the situation here in Jingzhou is tense, the situation near Guangling County in Xuzhou is also tense.
Shortly after Chen Deng's death, Man Chong, who was transferred to Xuzhou, also felt the pressure from Jiangdong.
Yin Li, who was guarding Guangling, sent a military report, stating that some Jiangdong soldiers had been mobilized again from Jiangdong following the more than 2,000 vanguard troops. Although it was said that they were only under the banner of Zhou Tai, there was no guarantee that there would be no other troops.
Which Jiangdong generals are there, and it is not confirmed whether these Jiangdong soldiers are the only ones...
Yin Li himself is not a military commander, so it cannot be expected that Yin Li can conduct a fire reconnaissance, and then like Mr. Wang Lang, he can fight with that so-and-so for three to five rounds and still escape unscathed. Therefore, it is impossible to have intelligence about Jiangdong soldiers.
Very detailed.
The reason why there are no generals or heavy troops deployed here in Xiapi, Guangling, Xuzhou is because this area was not an ideal marching route in the Han Dynasty. In later generations, swamps were basically invisible near Jingzhou, but during the Qin and Han Dynasties,
The middle and lower reaches of the river can be said to be full of swamps. The name Yunmeng Daze is not just blown by anyone. Without the assistance of positioning equipment, if you accidentally go in the wrong direction and swallow your life, you will end up in a swamp at most.
There are more bubbles in it...
In addition, when there are more swamps, there are more mosquitoes. The swarms of mosquitoes near swamps are a disaster for unprepared warm-blooded animals. Only rough skin and thick flesh plus mud
Only armored wild boars, hippos, rhinoceros and the like can ignore mosquitoes. There are also some cold-blooded animals, such as snakes, scorpions, lizards, etc., which are naturally exempt from mosquito infestation, but ordinary humans...
At the same time, the entire coastline does not extend as far east as in later generations. Lianyungang in later generations is still soaked in sea water, and Yangzhou City in later generations is also a swamp. It will wait until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Only then did cities such as Jiangdu be built.
Therefore, from a strategic perspective, both in terms of supplies along the way and in terms of geographical importance, the Xuzhou-Yangzhou line of attack is obviously not more important than the Jingzhou line. Therefore, when Jiangdong crossed the river to the north and began to invade the Jiangbei area,
It didn't attract much attention at first, but it wasn't until Gaoyou County was attacked that the situation in Xiapi, Guangling, suddenly became tense.
Man Chong mobilized troops and began to reinforce Xiapi in Guangling, but on the other hand, the problem of Taishan County had to be considered. If that happened, wouldn't it be a big trouble?
Therefore, Man Chong could only adjust his troops as much as possible, and at the same time compile the current situation into a document and send it to Xu County, Yingchuan, so that Xun Yu in Yingchuan could make deployment and adjustments as soon as possible...
Suddenly, the situation suddenly changed, and the clouds of war once again shrouded both sides of the river.
