Many times, with the benefit of hindsight, people will think that I can just fuck me, but in fact, the complexity of war must be beyond most people's imagination.
Jiangdong increased his troops twice and captured more cities, which seemed to be a completely different record from history. He showed a tough stance, which also made Cao Ren in Jingzhou make the decision to temporarily "lease" Jiangling to Jiangdong.
This decision, in Cao Ren's heart, was absolutely correct.
First of all, Jiangling is too close to the river, and the waters within the territory are complicated. Facing the Jiangdong soldiers who mainly use boats, which can be transported quickly and move both by water and land, even if Cao's army has cavalry, it is not easy to deal with them.
Secondly, Jiangdong continues to fight, but Cao Cao has always stood still. This will of course cause Jiangdong to be dissatisfied. In order to prevent Jiangdong from giving in when things are good, so that when Cao Cao wants to move, Jiangdong will not cooperate, so he must give Jiangdong a little.
benefit.
Third, Jiangling went through wars and did not recover much for a long time. It also needed blood transfusions from Jingbei from time to time. Cao Ren was actually a little bored. After all, Cao Ren felt that Jingzhou now mainly transports materials to Xuchang and spends materials and goods in Jiangling.
What is it like?
Therefore, Jiangdong increased its troops for the third time, and the base camp was established in Jiangling.
Then he began to build water fortresses, strengthen city defenses, arrange camps, and repair roads. It looked like he was preparing to repair Jiangling for a whole year. Zhu Zhi didn't mention a word about the date for continuing.
Zhu Zhi was unwilling to move forward, so Huang Gai had no choice but to come to Zhu Zhi with some brief introductions.
In other words, Jiangdong's offensive on the waterway was almost at a standstill.
War, politics, one side and two bodies.
Huang Gai was a little angry.
Zhu Zhi and Huang Gai have many similarities, but they are very different in nature.
Both of them were veterans of the Three Dynasties. They both fought against Sun Jian in their early years and both achieved considerable military success. However, in the end, the routes they took were different.
Zhu Zhi and Huang Gai had different backgrounds.
Huang Gai was originally a descendant of Huang Zilian, the prefect of Nanyang, but his family separated from Nanyang very early. Huang Gai's grandfather moved to Lingling and basically separated from the Nanyang Huang family. Huang Gai lived a difficult life in his childhood, but he still
He had great ambitions, but although he was poor, he often paid his dues to guard himself. He also studied on his own and learned the art of war. He later served as a county official, was inspected for being filial and honest, and finally served under Sun Jian.
Therefore, Huang Gai is a completely poor family, even a poor family, almost without a family, but Zhu Zhi is different. From the beginning, Zhu Zhi was a local powerhouse and a local big family, so Zhu Zhi was very small.
At that time, he served as a county official. Later, he was promoted to be Xiaolian, and he was assigned to work in the state. He followed Sun Jian to fight everywhere.
One had to carry his own salary, always be vigilant, never forget his ambition, and work hard to get the position of county official, while the other could just become a county official casually, then apply a layer of gold paint, and immediately become a county official.
Suddenly, he became a state official with grassroots experience...
It can be said that Huang Gai's path is the admirable path of struggle.
Diaosi counterattack, how inspiring!
In the eyes of people like Zhu Zhi, such a path is undoubtedly stupid and a waste of youth and time.
Like Zhu Zhi, if you first make a name for yourself in the county and hang around for two days, by the end of the year, you will definitely get a good score and take off directly from where you are. This is a serious official career.
Therefore, although these two people are both governors at the moment, in fact, neither one looks down on the other.
Not to mention that we now have to hand over military power to each other.
Huang Gai was very unhappy because originally Zhu Zhi was supposed to go to the front line to hand over the job, but now Huang Gai was asked to return to hand over the job.
This kind of behavior is not to say that it is completely against the rules, but it is like the kind of county officials who paint their lower-level officials with gold paint. It is a gray behavior that is borderline, which makes Huang Gai disgusted.
Therefore, when Huang Gai met Zhu Zhi, he had no good temper.
"Director Zhu, the governance of Jiangling has been quite effective. It is true that those who are capable work hard!" Huang Gai said sarcastically.
What is Duo Lao?
The more you work, the more you are busy.
Being busy is just an excuse most of the time.
You can be really busy or you can pretend to be busy. The higher your position, the more effective this excuse seems to be, but whether you are really busy or fake is a matter of opinion.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, he indeed shoulders a heavy responsibility. He must be responsible for the offense, but also consider the defense. He must face the eager gaze of the Sichuan and Shu troops, and also be on guard against the malicious intentions of Cao Jun on one side. In addition, it is a long journey from Jiangdong to Sichuan and Shu.
The food supply line does not have any defensive advantages and may be stabbed in the back at any time. These things have to be considered. It can indeed be said to be very energy-consuming and there must be no slacking off.
But does all this mean that we can only stop at Gangneung and have no time to move forward?
Obviously not.
After all, many of these things are just for the commander-in-chief to consider overall, rather than for the commander-in-chief to do anything himself. If the commander-in-chief is left to do everything by himself, what will the officers and military schools under him do?
It's like working overtime.
It's time to get off work, and I'm still working overtime. It seems that I'm very diligent, hardworking, and excellent, but in fact, does it mean that I have fished too much during my normal working hours, and that I have done things that I should have done originally?
Not finished? Or is it because the person lacks the ability and needs more time to do things that others can finish?
Are you busy?
busy.
It can be a reason, but it is definitely not a legitimate reason.
Especially in the current military situation where every second counts and there may be new changes at any time, delaying for too long in Gangneung is not a good strategy after all.
Zhu Zhipi smiled but said, "Captain Huang, attacked Sichuan and Shu, and accomplished many extraordinary feats. He really has the style of a general!"
What is a general?
This needs no explanation...
Zhu Zhi's stay in Jiangling was of course due to Zhu Zhi's own considerations.
Neither Yi Dao nor Zigui were Zhu Zhi's meritorious deeds, but Jiangling could be.
Although Jiangling was negotiated before, the actual occupation now is done by Zhu Zhi. This cannot be denied, right?
As for frontline combat, everyone knows that it is a big pit, so why jump into it so quickly? Even if you really want to jump in, you need to make relevant preparations. And Zhu Zhi also has a very correct reason, that is
Money and food.
"Please ask Governor Zhu to take the seal and order the flag!"
Huang Gai stabbed Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi retaliated. He didn't want to engage in a verbal dispute with Zhu Zhi, so he just wanted to hand over the seal flag directly.
Zhu Zhi looked at the seal flag presented by Huang Gai's guard, but he had no intention of taking over. Instead, he smiled and said: "Captain Huang, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry..."
Huang Gai's eyebrows rose, "What do you mean? Do you want to neglect the army?"
Zhu Zhi laughed and said, "Captain Huang, it doesn't have to be like this. Please sit down and listen to the teaching."
Huang Gai pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to ask the guards to retreat. He wanted to hear Zhu Zhi's so-called reasons. He had been in life and death before, and even when he faced Zhu Zhi alone, he was very courageous, otherwise he would not have done it.
I came back specifically to look for Zhu Zhi.
Zhu Zhi did the same thing, asking his guards to retreat, and then said to Huang Gai: "Gong Fu, is this march west to Sichuan and Shu really just for Sichuan and Shu?"
Huang Gai frowned, "What do you mean by this?"
Zhu Zhi stretched out his hand and drew a circle around it, "How is this place?"
Huang Gai asked about this, and Zhu Zhi replied about this, which is quite contradictory.
But obviously Huang Gai was not very satisfied with Zhu Zhi's answer, "Captain Zhu, it is the governor's plan to march into Sichuan and Shu!"
In Jiangdong, there is only one person who can drop the surname and call the governor directly.
Zhu Zhi did not deny it, nodded, and then said: "However, Jiangling is also a turning point. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. Don't be careful!"
Huang Gai understood immediately and his eyes lowered, "You want to betray your alliance?!"
Zhu Zhi laughed and said, "Why is this so? It's just...precautionary measures."
"Is this the Lord's intention?" Huang Gai asked in a deep voice.
Zhu Zhi did not comment, "As a subject, I should share the Lord's worries. It cannot be said that if we cannot go to Sichuan and Shu, we will return empty-handed!"
Huang Gai ignored the sarcasm in Zhu Zhi's tone, "If you stay here, what about the front line?!"
Zhu Zhi laughed, "Isn't there still Gongfu here? The seal flag is still there, Gongfu can give orders to the front troops, and the governor will report all the achievements he has made and report them according to the facts!"
"Zhu Junli!" Huang Gai slapped the table angrily, "How can you treat military affairs as child's play!"
Zhu Zhi also turned his head and slapped the table, "Huang Gong is overthrown! This is Jiangdong's century-old plan, and it is related to the lives of countless Jiangdong sons! How can you be careless! There are no generals on the front line, and you can maneuver without authorization. If the Sichuan army invades, what crime should you be guilty of?!"
The two started to quarrel, and the two guards in the distance glared at each other, and at the same time looked at their general with some worry.
Vaguely, it seemed that a big black pot was being tossed around by two people, dancing in the air.
……(╬￣俣)╯○╰((*`ェ*)……
While the Jiangdong Water Route Army was still hesitant and hesitant about the entire strategic direction, the hidden dangers behind them were finally exposed.
Wuling Man.
Or it’s called Wuxi Barbarians, or it’s full name is Wuling Wuxi Barbarians…
Shamoko returned to his tribe with a letter of appointment and part of his armor and weapons, and was immediately given the most solemn welcome.
Previously, Wu Lingman was violently beaten by the Wu army along the waterway. All the cottages near the rivers were basically either attacked or burned down, so that they had to huddle up and go to the hidden cottages in the mountains to endure hunger.
, seeing that the cold winter is coming, and the limited mountain villages obviously cannot provide sufficient supplies for the dense population, at this most painful time, Samoko came back and brought good news!
The Sichuan and Shu troops under the Hussars are willing to support Wuling Man's great revolutionary action!
Ahem, that was probably what he meant. Suddenly these Wuling barbarians became excited, feeling that light had returned to the world.
But if you want to really contact the Sichuan and Shu Army, you must first pass two levels. One is to break the blockade of the Wu Army in Youshui and Yuanshui, and the other is to occupy the area from Zigui to Yishan. Only in this way can you build a route.
Through the transportation routes, the Sichuan and Shu armies were connected and supplies and armaments were obtained.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to capture the nodes on the You River, such as Youyang, Youyin and other small counties.
Shamoko gathered a group of strong men, and after boosting their morale, he left the hidden mountain stronghold, led his army on a quick march for a day, crossed the You River, and arrived at a mountain col near the outside of Youyang County.
He set up camp. After arranging the surrounding security, Samoko sat down at the campfire and began to think.
Following the Sichuan-Shu Army, especially after following Zhuge Liang for a period of time, Shamoko was like being given an intelligence-enhancing BUFF. His experience increased significantly, and he unknowingly gained some intelligence bonus points.
Walking on mountain roads, walking through mountains and forests, and climbing in rugged and difficult mountains are all Wulingman's special skills, but attacking a city often becomes Wulingman's nightmare.
However, just as Zhuge Liang told him before leaving, now is indeed a good time for Wuling Man.
Because those generals who are familiar with Wuling barbarian operations are basically on the front line now, the entire Wuling area is in a window period for Jiangdong.
The Wuling area is actually the military training ground of Jiangdong to a certain extent.
Whether it was Zhou Tailu Meng who was from a poor family or Zhu Zhi and Lu Xun who came from a wealthy family, they had actually fought against the Vietnamese barbarians in the Wuling area and gained a lot of military experience.
Now because of the battle with the Sichuan and Shu armies, these generals who were training in the Wuling area have left, and they have also taken away the elite soldiers under these generals. Therefore, the current Wuling area actually seems a bit empty...
This is the disadvantage of the Jiangdong generals' private armies.
As soon as the general moves, the combat power of the entire region will immediately change. The core combat power will always be private soldiers, while the rest of the soldiers will just make a living. Regardless of the large number of people, they are just bleating.
, not much of a threat.
Shamoko felt that it was possible to attack, but attacking the county directly would undoubtedly be a weak attack on a strong one, so he should use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, choose a more secure method, and open a gap first.
The county magistrate in Youyang is Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan was from Xiapi and came to Jiangdong due to the war. He was very knowledgeable and devoted himself to the study of pre-Qin scholars. He had a lot of experience in the ways of ancient sages and sages. He also liked to encourage others to study scriptures. He was especially willing to debate with others and develop liberal arts.
He is a good official who talks about literature and ethics. He focuses on keeping the local government warm and caring, and he also advocates kindness to the people. He is a good official.
However, being a good local official does not mean having good military ability.
Pei Xuan's term in Youyang is coming soon.
As an official with local experience and good political performance, it is inevitable to walk up and move around. Therefore, his current thoughts are not on Youyang. He is leaving soon anyway.
I don't want to do anything big.
But just when he was thinking about what to take with him, whether he wanted to have a farewell ceremony for tens of thousands of people, or a bunch of signatures for tens of thousands of people, the county magistrate came to report hurriedly, saying that he had found thieves causing trouble outside the city and killed him.
They captured the merchants and robbed the goods!
"There are just a few thieves...why make such a fuss?" Pei Xuan waved his hand lazily, "You can just bring the county soldiers and drive them away."
Where are there no thieves?
Can the world be without thieves?
Pei Xuan didn't want to kill these so-called thieves at all, he just wanted to scare them and drive the thieves away. Anyway, as long as they didn't cause chaos within his county, everything would be peaceful.
The county magistrate sweated on his head, "Your Majesty! The merchant is a member of the Sun family..."
"Sun...Which Sun family?" Pei Xuan immediately turned over and sat up.
"Of course...that Sun family..." The county magistrate bent down and lowered his head.
"Bastard!" Pei Xuan was furious, "Why don't you send someone to escort?!"
We were almost at the point of promotion, and this happened!
If you are an ordinary businessman, you will die if you die. How can it be considered a big deal? But the problem is that it belongs to the Sun family. Even those who know how to run out to do business are mostly just side branches of the Sun family and have no actual power.
, but after all, he is a member of the Sun family. If any news is passed to the top, do you still want Pei Xuan's promotion?!
"Your Majesty, calm down your anger..." the county magistrate said quickly, "This... this is an opportunity..."
"How do you say that?" Pei Xuan was stunned.
The county magistrate nodded and bowed and said: "There were some bastards before who said that the magistrate only talks... The magistrate must not be angry, these bastards are just farting... Now, isn't this an opportunity? Those who robbed merchants are just a few thieves.
, if it is the county magistrate... firstly, it can be said that he is avenging the Sun merchants, and there is no reason to blame the above, and secondly, it can also stop these gossips... proving that the county magistrate Yunwen Yunwu is a talented person in the world..."
Pei Xuan's brows trembled and he pondered for a moment, "Are they really just ordinary thieves? How many of them are there?"
"Only a dozen or so!" the county magistrate said firmly, "They are all barbaric climbers in the mountains! They were afraid that winter was coming and they would not have enough food and clothing, so they came down to plunder."
Pei Xuan nodded.
If in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, nomadic people would come to visit relatives when they had time, then in the territory of Jiangdong, the Nanyue mountain barbarians would often come to catch the autumn wind.
If there is no food, no clothing, no use, they will form their own teams to go down the mountain to fight in the wild, which makes Jiangdong very annoyed. Even if they set up roadblocks, set up military strongholds, etc., it is of no use, because these mountains and mountains are full of
He is good at climbing over mountains and ridges, who knows where he will appear from?
A dozen mountains and more...
Pei Xuan thought about it, and it seemed that he could give it a try. As the county magistrate said, after all, if even a dozen Shanyue did not dare to attack, wouldn't it be true that the so-called weak scholars only have strong mouths?
"Good! Pass the order and tell me that I will send troops to exterminate these bandits! To avenge the innocent victims!" Pei Xuan stood up and waved his arms, "If you dare to offend me, you must make sure that the thieves never come back!"
The county magistrate bowed deeply to the ground and said, "The county magistrate is so powerful! Success will surely come soon! With such meritorious deeds, the county magistrate will be able to rise to prominence soon!"
"Ah ha ha ha..." Pei Xuan burst into laughter, obviously very happy.
The plan has been finalized. We will prepare our troops today and attack tomorrow to wipe out the bandits.
The county magistrate bent over and stuck out his butt, said goodbye, then turned a corner, and the flattering look on his face gradually faded away. At the corner, the county magistrate lowered his head and looked back, cursing in a low voice, "Old beast, you are still thinking about it."
Gaosheng? I have been working as the county magistrate for ten years... No matter what happens, someone will fall from the sky... After all, I want to let you know that this county magistrate... not everyone can play well..."
