Chapter 2807: A small quarrel between the family and Jiangdongs big plan to build an army
Cao Ren couldn't think clearly. On the one hand, it was because Cao Ren himself was not a very wise man. He had no problem with decision-making and tactical choices in battle formations, but when it came to medium- to long-term or even high-level strategies,
, it’s a bit confusing.
Although Cao Zhen is slightly better than Cao Ren and thinks more about strategies, he is still relatively young after all and lacks experience, so he cannot accurately predict Fei Qian's strategy.
.
As a result, all the civil and military officials in Jingzhou were summoned to discuss and discuss the meaning behind this military operation of the Hussars Sichuan-Shu Front Army.
There were leaders at all levels present at the meeting...well, I'm just blundering. Anyway, big and small, whether they were crooked or decent officials, as long as they could be ranked, they all came.
For most of the Jingzhou natives, their emotions towards Fei Qian are quite complicated. Because Fei Qian is more or less half of the Jingzhou gentry. Sometimes these Jingzhou natives may not have thought about what would have happened in the dead of night.
, and then more or less regret, annoyance, regret, hatred, etc. will emerge, and I will toss and turn, unable to sleep peacefully, but after dawn the next day, I still have to face the life in front of me again.
Therefore, when I heard that the Hussar Sichuan and Shu forces were building a forward water fortress on Yi Dao, whether they had heard about it early or just heard about it, they couldn't help but feel a little bit subtle.
Cai Mao squinted his eyes slightly and stroked his beard. He seemed very calm, but in fact, his heart was like boiling water, with various thoughts bubbling up. The cooperation between Cai and Fei Qian was still relatively secretive.
, and shipbuilding is not something that can be built in a day or two, so in Jingzhou, Cai just found a relatively private place in Yunmengze, and then secretly sent people there
To deliver goods, at the same time, we have to guard against being discovered by Cao's army, so the speed cannot be increased. So this time the Hussars from Sichuan and Shu came to Yi Road, could they be trying to cover themselves?
Cai Mao was thinking in his mind when he heard Kuai Yue say in a deep voice beside him: "If the Hussars build a water stronghold, given time, it will be a great threat. The Yidao Road is a fortress, the two rivers converge, and the road is divided into three parts. Jiangling can be controlled on the top."
It can reach as far as Jiangxia, and the soldiers and horses can reach the city within three days! If Jiangling is not protected, Xiangyang will definitely be shaken! Therefore, based on my opinion, it is better to send troops to stop it, so as to prevent Xiangyang from being lost."
Cai Hao glanced at Kuai Yue and sneered secretly in his heart.
What else is there to say about Xiangyang? It’s because Kuai Yue himself felt that Jiangling was in danger!
Everyone present basically knows what the situation of the Yi Dao is like, so even if the Qiaoqi men and horses build the water stronghold there, it does not mean that it can be repaired in a short time, but if you want to speed up the repair,
With the speed of construction, it is natural to need to increase manpower. One is to transport it from Sichuan and Sichuan, and the other is...
Naturally, manpower is collected locally, and where is the place closest to Yi Dao where there are actually some people?
Gangneung.
Jiangling was already miserable before.
First, Jiangdong was captured and plundered, and then the plague spread. Those who survived were treated as bargaining chips by Cao Jun and sent to Guanzhong. So in Jiangling, not to mention young leeks, there were
The roots of the leeks were all shaved cleanly. Although the Kuai brothers and most of the descendants of the Jiangling gentry fled to Xiangyang City before the danger came, their own lives were saved, but the roots of the leeks in the ground were broken.
!
When the military front receded and the plague subsided, these descendants of the Jiangling gentry, especially after the Kuai family got the long-desired position of Jiangling prefect, returned to Jiangling, and their mood was so cold that they almost wanted to go back to Jiangling.
Cry. Even though the gentry children usually look down on the ordinary people, and moving means they are dirty-legged, low-born Muggles, etc., but without these hard-working Guizhou heads, it will be a problem for the gentry children to eat and drink!
So Kuai had no choice but to lower his face, licked Cao Ren's butt for a long time, and then bowed his head to Cai Mao. Only then did he get some population allocation and material support, and gradually allowed Jiangling to regain some of its vitality.
Therefore, the one who was most nervous about the matter of Yidao Water Village was naturally the Kuai family. When Cao Ren asked, Kuai Yue spoke eagerly, not caring about being disliked by others. Anyway, he had no shame for a long time, and it didn't matter if he was laughed at.
As long as you can take care that the leeks on your plate don't get cut again, even if you need to add a few more leeks to Cao Ren's back, it's not a big deal!
If Jiangling City were to be destroyed again, Kuai would definitely want to die!
Well, as for whether the water is too cold, that's another matter.
No, Kuai Yue would just have to directly fiddle with Cao Ren to send troops. Then if he really sends troops, where can the soldiers go? Shouldn't they be stationed in Jiangling? Wouldn't Jiangling be more secure?
When Cao Ren heard this, he neither agreed nor said anything wrong. Instead, he turned to Wenpin and asked, "General Wen, what do you think?"
Wenpin is quite interesting. If it were a thesis on military strategy, Wenpin would not be bad, but the only thing that made Cao Cao feel a little regretful was that Wenpin was unwilling to leave his hometown. Liu Cong surrendered before, and Wenpin was also punished.
Wenpin was helpless and had no choice but to return to his hometown and stay at home. Cao Cao sent people to conquer the land. As a result, Wenpin said that he was a woodcutter in the mountains. He could neither defend his home nor had any special talents. He was ashamed to see others like this and refused Cao Cao's offer.
Conquest.
After hearing this, Cao Cao was very emotional. Before leaving Jingzhou, he went to find Wenpin in person, and finally got Wenpin in his hands. However, Wenpin also said that he was only willing to serve as an official in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao finally nodded.
He agreed, so he served as deputy under Cao Ren. He was responsible for training new soldiers and managing the navy, mainly for the defense and security of Jiangdong.
Wenpin raised his hands and said: "There are more than a hundred ships of various sizes. If you want to fight on the barbarian road, you can do it, but... if the damage is too great, it will be difficult to defend the Jiangdong navy." Wenpin's words are also true.
true.
In fact, the Cao family cannot be said to be very relieved about Cai Mao. Therefore, the navy in Jingzhou is ostensibly led by Cai Hao and Wenpin, but in fact most of it is Wenpin who has the final say. There is no way, who let Cai Mao and Huang
Are the Pang family and the Pang family all married? If the naval army is really handed over to Cai Mao, the Cao family will not be able to sleep well, right?
South of Jiangling, the waterways are complicated, and Yunmeng Daze is vast. Let alone more than a hundred ships, even two or three times more are inconspicuous in this water area, so it can only be focused on defense and point lines.
Combining the two together is simply impossible to spread out on the surface. Therefore, if a war really starts on Yi Dao and the ships are lost, it will inevitably cause loopholes in the original defense line. If Jiangdong has some ulterior motives, he may not be able to defend himself.
Gotta live with it.
Cao Ren nodded again, and then asked Cai Hao, "General Cai, what can you do?"
Cai Mao listened to Cao Ren's inquiry and slowly bowed to Cao Ren first, and then said slowly: "I have been feeling a bit cold recently and haven't gone out behind closed doors, so I don't know what happened... May I ask the general, this hussar in Guanzhong Wuguan
Is there any movement here?』
When Cao Ren heard Cai Mao's question, his heart suddenly moved, and then he said in a deep voice: "Nothing has changed yet."
Cai Mao nodded and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are mediocre in intelligence and are favored by the Prime Minister. I feel that there is nothing I can do in return. Today, let alone the hussars attacking, it is the Qi from Jiangdong. For the sake of the Prime Minister's great cause, the elders of Jingzhou belong to me."
I'm going to fight to the death! However, these soldiers and horses have not yet used the food and grass to go ahead, and the spring plowing is now..."
Cao Ren slapped his hands suddenly, "Degui's words are still true!"
Immediately, Cao Ren ordered to dispatch a small-scale boat as a water reconnaissance to check the movements of the Sichuan-Shu Army and the Jiangdong Army. The rest of the people were responsible for the spring plowing work in various parts of Jingzhou first, and they must not be affected by the incident on the Yi Road.
Zhuanghe farming in Jingzhou. Such an order certainly made Kuai Yue very dissatisfied, but he had no way to object. He could only pierce Cai Mao with his eyes angrily.
Cai Mao may not have seen it, or he may have seen it but was unmoved.
Cao Ren watched everyone slowly leaving, then he laughed and cursed, "This old cunning guy..."
Cao Zhen was puzzled, "General, what you said...is what General Cai just said, is there something wrong?"
Cao Ren shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with what De Gui said."
If the Hussar wanted to seize Jingzhou, they would not just send troops to Yidao. They would at least stock up on Wuguan and Guanzhong, and then advance by land and water, attacking from the north and the south. So since the Husband has not
The additional actions can be regarded as not having the intention to conquer Jingzhou. Naturally, there is no need to be particularly nervous, or even make too big moves, lest it attract the attention of the Hussar, who suspects that Cao Jun wants to fight with Jiangdong soldiers.
The combined attack would lead to more troubles. Therefore, although asking Cao Ren to pay attention to spring plowing seems to be a temporary measure that is not compatible with the Yi Dao, in fact, it is indeed a clever strategy.
On the one hand, Jingzhou used this action to express a relatively neutral attitude. Regardless of whether Hussar believed it or not, at least there were no large-scale troop movements in Jingzhou. The main force of Cao's army did not leave Xiangyang and Jingbei, and it was not for Hussar to attack Jingzhou.
so easy.
On the other hand, although Yi Dao is building a water fortress, they are just the vanguard of the Sichuan and Shu forces. So what if they send out a large force and win? Just like a lepton in Go, Sichuan and Shu
It just fell into one hand. As a result, Cao Jun in Jingzhou had to spend four hands to carry it. The cost was not equal. In the end, Cao Jun himself could not continue to stay in Yi Dao. After all, there was nothing in Yi Dao. If he wanted to stay in Yi Dao, he had to
If we continue to allocate grain, grass and various materials later, if we do not stay in Yidao, when the Sichuan and Shu army sends some soldiers again, will Cao Jun respond or not?
As for Jingnan, they are all dead anyway. Except for Kuai, who is extremely nervous, who will care more?
"In that case, what did the general say about Cai Degui's treachery?" Cao Zhen asked.
Cao Ren laughed and said: "Kuai Yidu claims to be the lord of Jiangling, so he doesn't want Jiangling to suffer... But what about Cai Degui? His family's land is all in the north of Jing..."
Cao Zhen was suddenly enlightened, and immediately said angrily: "The enemy before us is actually our own belly! It's really hateful!"
Cao Ren waved his hand, "As long as you and I know about this... We still need to be more prepared in Yongwan City, Wuguan... Send more manpower. If there is any news, report it immediately!"
Cao Zhen accepted the order and resigned, but Cao Ren still sat in the hall, pondering for a long time. For him, this discussion only solved a small part of the problem, and left more than half of the doubts, like a thick
Mist shrouded the surroundings, making it impossible for Cao Ren to know what was hidden behind the fog...
When Cao Ren in Xiangyang still had a lot of doubts, Cao Cao in Xu County also had the same spring heart...well, doubts were rippling.
Hey, or it could be said that the heart of spring is rippling.
Sun Quan went to the table and said:
"I was ordered by the Han Dynasty to settle in Yang, and later to expand east of the Yangtze River. It has been many years. Because Xiliang was a disaster and Dong Ni was a disaster, the imperial government was fighting for solution and was unwilling to help the rebellion, so it was compiled to protect the territory.
In order to gather together in Ansheng. Now the Prime Minister Shengjiao is in the wilderness, Qingze is flowing in China, and he has established the Central Plains. His merits are extremely great, so he is admired. He wants to return to the right level, watch the sun and moon shine, and be punished by the wide ax and axe."
"I now know that Xian Yan was severely injured at the hands of the Fei thieves, and I want to launch an army to avenge this sworn enemy. I remember that the Prime Minister has a magnanimous attitude, and also has the same friendship with Xian Yan, and I am very compatible with the Prime Minister.
Just like heaven, on the day when a great vengeance is avenged, everyone will return to the Prime Minister's steps, so that they can survive the rest of their lives and protect their families. It is a blessing that the concubine Xian Yan's spirit no longer harbors hatred. The old mother's court is gone, and there is still a place to pay respects.
It is also."
"I would like to lead the civil and military forces in Jiangdong, and I hereby submit my order."
Although the words are not very gorgeous, and there is no rhythm in the Han Dynasty, for Cao Cao, these are not important. What is important is to understand how sincere and how much this lowering of the table is.
A fake point?
Sun Quan delivered the surrender without mentioning the emperor. This made Cao Cao very satisfied, but it also made Cao Cao a little suspicious. After all, this was not a serious surrender, and it was not delivered to the emperor, but to the emperor.
It was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although this showed that Sun Quan attached great importance to Cao Cao, after all, it did not go through a formal process, and it was somewhat lacking.
But if he really goes to the side of the emperor Liu Xie, Cao Cao may not be happy. After all, if Sun Quan really surrenders, wouldn't he give Liu Xie such a big advantage in vain?
Well, regardless of who it is given to, the key point is whether Sun Quan’s surrender is true or false...
Anyone who knows something about the history of the Three Kingdoms basically knows the adjectives of thick black science written by Master Li. Cao Cao is as black as shiny, Liu Bei is as thick as a city wall, and Xiao Quanquan is neither as black as Cao Cao nor as black as Cao Cao.
Liu Bei is so thick, but he is both black and thick, so the world is divided into three parts.
Liu Bei didn't take surrender seriously, and he didn't think it was embarrassing to be under someone else's roof. He bowed his head when he should bow his head under the roof of others, without any ambiguity. Xiaoquan Quan also had a lot in common with Liu Bei on this point.
Sun Quan not only deceived Cao Cao, but also deceived Cao Pi. By the way, he also deceived Cao Xiu. Not only did Sun Quan feign surrender, but also his subordinates from Huang Gai to Zhou Li to Zhang Bu took it as their duty to deceive and deceive Cao Xiu.
Glory, you can knock your head to the ground with a bang in front of you, and immediately pull out a knife and stab you in the back.
It's a pity that Cao Cao doesn't know this at the moment...
Cao Cao squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and looked around, "What do you think of this watch?"
Liu Ye was the first to say: "Congratulations, Prime Minister! If Jiangdong comes to invest, the north and south will be connected as one, the fertile land can be increased by thousands of miles, and the number of soldiers can be increased by millions!"
Of course, one million soldiers is an exaggeration, but at this time, no one would jump out to correct the exaggerated statement, and they would all congratulate Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took a deep look at Liu Ye, then smiled and waved his hands and said: "If the Sun family sincerely surrenders, it will be a great blessing for the emperor, and his blessings will spread all over the world. I am just an axe. However, this Sun family's son wants to speak."
How true or false is it that he marched into Sichuan and Sichuan to avenge his father?"
"Sun Wentai did die in Jingxiang..." Dong Zhao said with his hands raised aside, "It was previously said that Liu Jingsheng killed him, but later there were rumors that the hussars set up an ambush and burned him to death... If Jiang Dongfang knew it now
Therefore, it is of great righteousness to raise troops to march westward. However, the minister's intention to view the east of the Yangtze River is mostly because he is afraid of being attacked by enemies on both sides, so he appears to be obedient. On the one hand, he can avoid the danger in the east of the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, he hopes to get help from his lord.
.』
Cao Cao hummed and nodded.
He could understand this. After all, didn't Cao Cao take advantage of his own father's death? As for how angry or how hateful he really was, the moment he learned the news, Cao Cao also believed in Sun Quan.
Maybe there will be more or less, but after the anger and hatred, the more important thing is to consider the overall situation.
Is it like Jiang Dong only now knows that Fei Qian killed Sun Jian?
Or is it possible that in the current chaos, whoever killed whomever wants to take revenge?
How many people died during the Yellow Turban Rebellion? How long will it take to count them out one by one?
Therefore, Cao Cao also felt that this was just an excuse for Sun Quan.
Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "The benefits of Sun's expedition outweigh the disadvantages."
Cheng Yu has always been a pragmatist, so he doesn't care whether Sun Quan is deceiving at all. He feels that Sun Quan can really send troops to Sichuan and Shu, which is at least better than causing trouble every day in Jingnan and Jiangbei. This is a real benefit. No need.
To know whether Sun Quan sincerely surrenders, all he needs to do is to really send troops to attack Sichuan and Shu, and then to be able to hinder some Fei Qian's steps.
Cao Cao nodded.
This is not wrong.
Now that Cao Cao is facing the increasing pressure in Guanzhong, he really hopes that there is someone who can share some of the burden for him, so he was so happy when he received the letter of surrender from Sun Quan. After all, no one wants to have a naughty child with him every day.
Troublemaking, but if that naughty kid goes to Qiusi Feiqian's place to cause trouble, it'll be fine.
"Wen Ruo, what do you think?" Seeing that Xun Yu remained silent, Cao Cao turned around and asked.
Xun Yu was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "We can recruit Sun Zhongmou's younger brother, Sun Shubi, to Xu County and worship him as the governor of Qinghe."
As soon as Xun Yu said this, everyone suddenly had different expressions!
