Chapter 3218 What you want, what I want, what he wants
After hearing the latest news, Guo Jia and Dong Zhao frowned tightly and were silent for a while.
Although they, including Cao Cao, maintain a not very optimistic attitude towards Jiangdong Army, and do not think that Jiangdong Army has the ability to win Sichuan and Shu, the reason why they formed an alliance with Jiangdong Army is just to stand in the overall situation.
Considering the above, it would be better to add more obstacles to Fei Qian. It would be better to have more allies.
But……
Is Jiangdong Army defeated now?
This speed is really in line with Sun's style!
The battle is still pending, and the friendly forces collapse first.
Don't expect Jiangdong to be able to overcome obstacles like a man, nor can he just be a prodigal and be gone!
It's not a good sign by any means.
what to do?
For a moment, inside the big tent, the three of them were all a little worried. Although it was not as tragic as dying before leaving the army, they were more or less confused and confused as they drew their swords and looked around. Who am I and where am I?
, what on earth am I going to do?
"Now that the vanguard is approaching Anyi, there is still no movement from the Hussars..." Cao Cao broke the silence and pointed to the map on the table, "either there is a problem with the deployment of the Hussars... or the Hussars know it."
This is a strategy to lure troops..."
Cao Cao sent Liu Zhu forward with great fanfare and brought a large number of baggage vehicles. The purpose was to be able to quickly form a vehicle formation when encountering the hussars and then resist on the spot.
Because as long as the exchange of troops with the Hussars was carried out, it would be cost-effective for Cao Cao. Even Cao Cao was somewhat eager to exchange his troops, but Fei Qian only made a surprise attack in Yi County and his troops disappeared.
Dong Zhao made a gesture on the map, "My lord, the cavalry and the horses should be here."
Cao Cao looked at it and nodded slightly.
He also guessed this.
There are not many hussars in the Yuncheng Basin. Even the people in Puban County are not in the Yuncheng Basin, but came down from the Emei Plateau in the north...
Yes, the hussar horses are hidden in the Emei Plains.
Cao Jun has dispatched a large number of scouts to investigate the movements of the Hussars. However, due to the geographical environment of the Emei Plain, it is difficult for Cao Jun's scouts to pass through, and it is even more difficult for Cao Jun's scouts to sneak into the Linfen Valley to the north. Therefore, Cao Cao and others knew that
The hussars and horses are here, but I don't know how many hussars there are, or what they are doing.
Relatively speaking, Cao Jun's transparency is relatively high.
The middle of the Yuncheng Basin is almost transparent to both sides.
Pubanjin, which is connected to the big river in the west of the Yuncheng Basin, is covered by the Emei Highlands. Unless Cao Jun dispatches his main force, it will be difficult to capture it.
To the east, the front line of Wangwu Mountain has been abandoned by Fei Qian. Similarly, even if Cao Cao occupied Wangwu Mountain, it would be of no use because he could not cross the mountains to capture the Dang or Linfen. The journey was difficult and dangerous.
Not to mention, the key point is that Wangwushan's gains and losses have almost no impact on the war situation in Hedong.
And in the Yuncheng Basin are the Hedong indigenous people...
Although the hussars in the east of Hedong have no way of looking through Zhongtiao Mountain to see Cao Cao's arrangements here and understand Cao Cao's operations, don't forget that on the other side of the river in Zhongtiao Mountain, Tongguan is still in Fei
In the hands of the enemy, the area where Cao Jun could hide was very limited.
Now, Cao Cao had to face a choice, should he regard the natives of Hedong as hussars?
Cao Cao looked at Tuyu and said, "This place, initially thought to be a thoroughfare, is actually an important place..."
Guo Jia frowned slightly when he heard this.
Qudi is an area bordering the enemy, us and other vassal states. Whoever arrives first can make friends with the vassal states and obtain the majority of support.
This is also the reason why Cao Jun was polite to the Hedong nobles before, but now he is gradually showing his claws.
Dong Zhao cupped his hands and said: "My lord, if you want to find out the movement of the hussars and Zhao has a plan, you might as well drive the people east of the river to advance... First, you can disrupt their deployment, second, you can change the heavy to light, third, you can replenish military resources..."
After hearing this, Guo Jia gave Dong Zhao a sideways glance, but said nothing.
After Dong Zhao heard that Cao Cao imprisoned Yang Xiu, he guessed that Cao Cao was planning to take action against the Hedong nobles.
This is a poisonous plan.
When Cao Cao said the word "important land", it already represented a change in Cao Cao's thinking. For Dong Zhao, he had no absolute position personally. Although he would say before that he did not recommend marching, Cao Cao really
After marching, he will quickly adjust himself and change his position.
Dong Zhao only had a relative position, and he didn't care to use some disgraceful means, such as deception, coaxing, false edicts, etc., he had done it all. In terms of the concept of future generations, he was probably a very qualified professional manager, in any situation
When working in a company, one can shout loud slogans. One moment he can work hard for the previous company for his whole life, and the next moment after changing jobs, he can express what he said before is "struggle".
As a result, Dong Zhao's character was despised by many people in the Han Dynasty.
Historically, when Dong Zhao was serving as a servant, he was on duty with his colleague Su Ze. Dong Zhao was so sleepy that he dozed off and fell on Su Ze's lap. Su Ze pushed his head down and said:
: "Su Ze's knees are not the pillow of a sycophant!"
Does Dong Zhao know that the majority of the natives in Hedong are actually living on the wall? Once this kind of expulsion strategy is really implemented, most of the natives in Hedong will be forced to stand, and there may be some people who are bullying them.
Under the situation, they will join Cao Cao's command, but more people will become Cao Cao's opponents from now on, just like the land of Xuzhou...
But this method can indeed solve the current problem.
Loot supplies, replenish military supplies, turn heavy into light, force the hussars to reveal themselves, and even mix in some spies to mix among the refugees to look for opportunities to sabotage Linfen's rear.
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, "What do you think of being a filial piety?"
Guo Jia secretly sighed, and then said in a deep voice, "Gongren's strategy... is wonderful."
Did Guo Jia not think of this method?
Obviously not.
Guo Jia added: "My Lord, this Anyi City Zhou..."
Cao Cao nodded, obviously knowing what Guo Jia was going to say in the second half of his sentence.
The matter was settled just like that.
Although all three people understand that once this order is issued, the people in Hedong, at least the people in the Yuncheng Basin, will suffer, but after all, this is the evil old society, under the feudal dynasty...
For the sake of the big man, just keep working hard!
The three of them were silent for a while, and Guo Jia suddenly said: "My lord, just in case of any eventuality... let General Yu make more preparations..."
Yu Jin has been training in Xincheng, Hefei.
Cao Cao frowned, "Filial piety means..."
Dong Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Jiangdong wants to betray the alliance?"
Although the covenant was made with the intention of breaking it in the future, the fact that Jiang Dong was just defeated and soon came to stab Cao Cao's Hougouzi was really uncomfortable...
After all, this is often the case. Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps.
Guo Jia nodded and said: "General Zixiao is leading the troops outside... If Jiangdong is unable to advance westward, he will definitely covet Jiangling... Therefore, it is better to leave it to the general... to scare the people of Jiangdong and prevent them from committing unjust acts... However,
, I think that even so, Jiangdong also wants Jiangling, so we should make preparations in advance."
Cao Cao nodded slowly, and then said in a low voice: "Jiangling... this Sun Zhongmou... someone knows about it, so he wrote an urgent letter to spread the rules."
…
…
On the river, warships are like a forest, densely covering the wide river surface, with flags fluttering in the wind.
The sun shines on the water, making the waves sparkle, swaying and jumping on the soldiers.
The swords and guns were also shining with a cold light, reflecting the faces of the soldiers.
On the tall building ship, war drums roared, and it seemed that even the surrounding mountains and rivers were trembling.
Xu Huang stood on the building boat, and his feet slightly adjusted the strength of the support, allowing him to maintain his body stability even as the building boat rose and fell.
Zhu Zhi fled all the way, and Xu Huang pursued him all the way.
When they arrived at Zigui, Xu Huang was blocked by Zhou Tai.
The drums were beating loudly, and the warships from both sides slowly approached. What started first was a fierce exchange of arrows, interspersed with crossbow bolts and stone throws.
The crossbow arrows roared across the river.
Some of the stone bullets hit the water, causing splashes all over the sky, and some hit the boat, causing sawdust to fly.
On the river, from time to time, soldiers were hit by arrows and fell into the water, causing ripples in circles.
Ballistas and catapults are basically only provided to ships above the battleship level, and there are not only ballistae and catapults on ships, but also shooting poles.
The top of this thing is usually equipped with a huge stone as a weight, which is connected to the racket shaft through an ingenious lever and pulley device. These stones or weights are carefully selected and polished to ensure that their quality and weight are relatively
is uniformly distributed.
When it is necessary to use it, multiple soldiers will gather at the bottom of the racket pole and control the racket pole by pulling the rope. With the coordinated efforts of the soldiers, the racket pole will slowly lift up, lifting the weight on the top to a high altitude.
Once an enemy ship approaches, the soldiers will quickly release the rope and let the racket stick fall freely. The weight on the top will hit the enemy ship with huge potential energy, causing a devastating blow.
However, the attack range of this thing is obviously a little short, and it is like a close-quarters defense artillery of a building ship. If it hits one shot, the opponent will be killed or disabled.
Arrows were exchanged between the two sides, but these long-range weapons, given the current technical level, were not the most important factor in causing casualties. The close combat between warships was the most testing moment for the soldiers of both sides.
Zhou Tai, with Jiang Dong's hard-working support navy, encountered Zhu Zhi's defeat not long after arriving in Zigui. This was a shock to his heart...
The situation in Jiangdong is already very bad.
Shamoko led the Wuxi barbarians, and now they are getting more and more noisy. It is no longer limited to Wuling County, and has even begun to affect Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang and other areas. If not controlled, it is likely to extend to Yuzhang in Yangzhou.
county……
This time the Wulingman rebellion was obviously different from the previous ones.
Generally speaking, Nanyue and Soochow were not absolutely hostile in history. For a long time, Jiangdong's trade partner and the best source of profit for Scissors was Nanyue. At the southern end of the entire Han territory, Soochow was located
In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the economy is more developed than in South Vietnam, and the South Vietnam region is rich in resources and specialty products, so there will be a natural need for trade between the two sides.
The trade between Soochow and Nanyue is mainly concentrated in the fields of agricultural products, handicrafts and mineral resources. The South Vietnam area is rich in agricultural products such as rice, fruits, medicinal materials, etc. These products are shipped to Soochow through trade channels to meet local market demand. At the same time, Soochow
Silks, ceramics, ironware and other commodities, no matter where they come from, are all lacking in South Vietnam. They are deeply loved by South Vietnam and have become important trading commodities.
Therefore, the commotion of Samoko not only cut off the source of soldiers from Jiangdong, but also greatly affected the commercial activities. Of course, the love and killing between Soochow and South Vietnam in history were not all for South Vietnam.
It's a bad thing. It's the isolation of the country that's really terrible.
It was not easy for Zhou Tai to get into the third batch of Jiangdong navy commanders.
Back then, Sun Quan was attacked by "bandits". Even Sun Quan's guards could not stop the "bandits" from assassinating him. Only Zhou Tai stood in front of Sun Quan and was stabbed twelve times...
Zhou Tai really fought for his future with his life.
Now his future is hindered by a huge rock called Xu Huang.
Soldiers from both sides, armed with spears and swords, charged bravely.
The hulls of the ships collided, making a dull sound, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers and the clash of weapons, forming a unique symphony on the battlefield.
The river wind roared, and the warships undulated and swayed in the waves, adding a bit of uncertainty to the battle.
Zhou Tai had never met Xu Huang, and he had asked about Zhu Zhi's defeat. He felt that Zhu Zhi's defeat seemed to have too many coincidental factors, not the strength of the Sichuan-Shu navy. Therefore, Zhou Tai felt that he had
Opportunity, and a very good opportunity.
As long as he can defeat Xu Huang, then Zhou Tai can take over Zhu Zhi's authority and become the next most beautiful kid among the commanders of the Jiangdong Navy!
On the river, a naval battle was going on.
The warship shuttled through the turbulent river, and every ups and down seemed to test the balance and courage of the soldiers.
The water in the river was turbid and fast, and from time to time huge waves would roll up, slapping against the hull of the warship and making a deafening sound.
The spring flood has quietly arrived, the river has risen, and the window for attacking from the downstream to the upstream has become smaller and smaller. Instead, Xu Huang, who attacked from the top, has taken advantage of the geographical advantage.
Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy not only had to face the fierce attacks of the Sichuan and Sichuan Navy, but also needed to pay attention to the ships under their feet, so as not to cause the rhythm of the attack to collapse due to the speed of the river water and the sloshing of the water surface.
Even though the current is a bit turbulent, there are still water ghosts from Jiangdong jumping into the river from time to time.
Almost all of these water ghosts have extremely excellent diving abilities and can lurk underwater for a long time and destroy enemy warships. The weapons carried by the water ghosts are often only hammers and chisels. At certain times, chisels
It can also be used as a dagger. They will use the current, the shadow of the ship or other cover to hide their whereabouts, ensuring that they can approach the enemy ship without being discovered.
Unlike the boats in movies and TV shows that are constantly banging under the water, these Jiangdong water ghosts are so useless that they even need to breathe. Therefore, these Jiangdong water ghosts often choose some glued parts above and below the waterline of the ship's side.
, destroying vulnerable key locations to cause water leakage or structural collapse of the vessel.
After all, standing on land and in water, exerting force and receiving force are completely different.
Of course, these weak points will also be taken into consideration when building a ship, so they are usually covered with wooden boards. The water ghost often needs to cling under the side of the ship and use the principle of leverage to pry open these outer boards covering the weak points.
, and then carry out destruction instead of simply taking a hammer and banging...
When the water ghosts sneak attack the ship, they are not beautiful at all. They are as insignificant as barnacles attached to the hull. During the attack, the water ghosts also need to maintain a high degree of vigilance and be ready to deal with the enemy's attacks at any time.
Counterattack or detection. The sailors on the ship will use their spears to stab directly down the side of the ship. Once stabbed, the water ghost will die.
At the beginning, the Sichuan and Sichuan naval forces were unable to react. Then they realized that some ships were tilted and leaking for no apparent reason, and they lost their balance and stability before discovering the existence of water ghosts. Suddenly there was a frenzied killing spree, and even some
The boats dropped fishing nets directly towards the place where the water ghosts dived, causing a large number of water ghosts in Jiangdong to die in the river.
After Jiangdong Water Ghost disrupted the rhythm of the Sichuan and Sichuan Navy, Jiangdong's Zouke was like a swimming fish, skillfully shuttled among the ships of the Sichuan and Sichuan Navy, sometimes charging rapidly, and sometimes outflanking. These Jiangdong Zoukes
The load-bearing weight is small, and the hull is light and flexible, as if it is integrated with the river water, successfully slowing down the Sichuan and Sichuan naval forces...
When Zhou Tai saw this, he clapped his hands fiercely and said, "That's it! The Sichuan-Shu army has fallen into a trap!"
Immediately, he ordered to send out more battleships and warships, trying to drag the Sichuan and Sichuan naval forces into a chaotic battle...
Zhou Tai was not familiar with Xu Huang. He had only heard about such a person, so Zhou Tai subconsciously thought that Xu Huang was just a landless old man who had just boarded a warship. This was like a God-given opportunity.
If you don't grasp it, how can you achieve great things?
Therefore, at the beginning, Zhou Tai did not send out big boats, but used small boats to fight. The purpose was to release some false situations to confuse Xu Huang, hoping that Xu Huang would not be scared away, so that he could conquer Sichuan and Shu step by step.
The navy was entangled.
After all, Zhou Tai is relatively confident in the Jiangdong navy...
Yes, the Jiangdong navy is indeed relatively strong. In terms of the cooperation between warships and the tacit understanding of other comrades in surface combat, they are the leaders of this era.
Zhou Tai knew the importance of teamwork, so he was ready to take advantage of this. By cooperating closely with other warships, Zhou Tai could form a multi-level attack and defense system, set up an ambush circle, and disguise Xu Huang as a beast.
Entered the net!
Now, the plan has been half successful. Zhou Tai only needs to take a step further and successfully capture Xu Huang, then it is done!
