Zhou Yu saw the self-decision of the Jiangdong Military Academy on the front line, but he had no choice.
Commanding on the battlefield today is likely to be like running the latest black monkey with the CPU configuration from 20 years ago. It may still work, but frame drops and lags are inevitable.
Zhou Yu's face turned a little blue.
There was no problem with his general direction, but his soldiers did not go up and failed to achieve the plan he had planned.
He should have considered these issues, but he was anxious, so he failed to achieve perfection in some details. It was these imperfect details that led to the evolution of the battlefield.
The wars of the Han Dynasty today cannot be solved by killing the commanders and generals one-on-one. What is more important is the fight between soldiers and soldiers, and the flesh and blood between ordinary soldiers who do not even deserve their names, which ultimately determines the situation of the battle.
In fact, the biggest gap between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang is not in intelligence and strategy, but in his attitude towards ordinary soldiers.
Zhuge Liang did not necessarily know how to treat ordinary soldiers from the beginning, but because the overall military strategy, training and logistics support of the Cavalry Army were biased towards later generations of thinking patterns, which determined that even the natives of the Han Dynasty would have some attitude changes towards ordinary soldiers under the military system of the Cavalry.
Equality and freedom did not exist in the Han Dynasty, but the system of supporting poor families and promoting military forces gave this group of people from the middle and lower classes a broader world.
Zhuge Liang had no idea of human rights or not. He was just under the system of the cavalry and instinctively chose to make a "good relationship" with these soldiers. Because Zhuge Liang knew that even if he retreated from the front line and went to the local area to manage people's livelihood and manage government affairs, he would have a great possibility of dealing with retired inspections of the army and officials promoted to the lower-level officers. So during this period of time in the army, what's the harm of taking care of the soldiers and gaining a good reputation?
On the contrary, Zhou Yu, as well as the traditional Han generals like Zhou Yu, a series of commanding generals including Cao Cao, would not have any preferential treatment for ordinary soldiers, and even made preferential treatment, they were afraid of becoming the target of suspicion.
"Invite to buy people's hearts" is a sin that has existed in China for many years!
But the question is, why does this sin last for a long time?
If the people of the world are all towards the Han Dynasty and the court, then what's the use of who comes to "invite"? If the people have deviated from the court and formulated many crimes, can they avoid the emergence of ambitious people? Even if they do not invite people to buy people's hearts, can they stop the deviance of people's hearts?
Zhou Yu could not solve this problem, so when he took over some of the soldiers left by Sun Ce, in order to avoid being suspicious of Sun Quan, he deliberately sent out the veterans left by Sun Ce during the Battle of Jiangling...
If Zhou Yu did not send out those soldiers or even went to fight Jiangling, then perhaps it might be a different situation now.
Of course, it is very likely that Sun Quan would doubt Zhou Yu even more, and he would not let Zhou Yu have the authority to command the soldiers again after death.
But who knows?
Unless it is a keyboard warrior who always blesses God's perspective.
It is useless for Zhou Yu to regret it now, because the past will pass forever, and once the mistakes are made, they will never be compensated.
Just like late justice, it is not worthy of being called justice at all, it can only be said to be an adjustment for social stability. The fairness and justice of a society should be reflected in respect and care for the people at the bottom of society. It is not only necessary to make the people live safely, responsible, but also dignity. In the Han Dynasty, most rulers do not care about how the people are living at the bottom of the people.
Now, what Jiangdong has accumulated in the early stages is not just Zhou Yu, but these problems have erupted in a concentrated manner under the war.
As Zhuge Liang said, when Zhou Yu left the advantage of "local advantage", he was at a disadvantage, and the time and people were not related to him. Now the Sichuan and Shu army have tied up the front fleet of the Jiangdong Army, preparing to infiltrate the defense line of the Jiangdong Army and come to him.
Although the number of warships on the other side was not as large as that on their own, they began to gain the upper hand in momentum!
But now Zhou Yu can't retreat again...
It is not that we cannot retreat, but that once we retreat, it is almost equivalent to admitting the failure of this expedition.
Then, even if Zhou Yu is still in Jiangdong and lives well, he will lose most of his voice. What's more, he is the main general. If he escapes at the last minute, even if he goes back alive, he will be worse than death.
Zhou Yu ordered his own building ship and affiliated formation to accelerate.
Seeing the cowardice of the Jiangdong Military Academy ahead, he was also very clear about the reasons for the unfavorable situation. Therefore, Zhou Yu wanted to lead the team himself, use the bravery of his own troops to awaken the courage of the Jiangdong Navy, and use the Jiangdong Navy to train combat skills to regain the battle situation!
Avoiding the reality and attacking the falsehood, Zhou Yu's choice is in line with the art of war.
The navy has always been Jiangdong's strength. If it is defeated by the Sichuan and Shu army in the navy, then for Jiangdong, the psychological blow will far exceed the damage on the battlefield.
Zhou Yu knew the consequences very well.
Even Zhou Yu could predict that if he lost, the Jiangdong "surrender faction" would take off directly, with more reasons and excuses.
Zhou Yu's fleet cut in and grasped the opportunity very accurately. He turned first, avoided the somewhat chaotic front fleet of Jiangdong, and then counter-teamed from the other side of the Sichuan-Shu Navy.
...
...
On the river, the two armies fought fiercely, and in the mountains and forests, they also showed their strategies and martial arts.
The mountains are undulating and the roads are rugged.
Gan Ning is lying in ambush.
He had no idea why he was ambushing here.
Didn’t they fail to attack the Jiangdong Army? How could there be a Jiangdong Army?
It's like both sides know what cards the other party has and where they are prepared. How can they continue to play the cards that the other party already knows?
Gan Ning couldn't figure it out, but he had one advantage, that is, even if he didn't understand, he would still do it.
Because he believed that Zhuge Liang was smarter than him.
Just leave the things you think about to Zhuge Liang.
『The Jiangdong Army will come?』
The Hussars around Ganning asked.
"I don't know." Gan Ning answered very honestly, and would not deliberately say anything stupid to deceive. "Zhuge said he wanted us to ambush, and said that there might be a Jiangdong army coming."
"What Zhuge is talking about? That's right, there should be Jiangdong Army coming..."
The soldier retreated with his head shrank and seemed to have received a satisfactory answer.
Gan Ning couldn't help but curl her lips. You all think what Zhuge is doing is credible, right? If you say what I say, then you will all question it, right? Xianren Banban.
Gan Ning turned around and began to check the hidden situation of his soldiers. "You turtle grandson, bury your head lower! That one over there, pull some grass leaves to cover your glans, don't be illuminated by the sun..."
Gan Ning cursed in a mess.
The Hussar was scolded by Gan Ning, and he was not annoyed. He laughed and did as he ordered.
After staying with Gan Ning for a long time, these Hussar soldiers also knew that when Gan Ning cursed, they didn’t really have any malice, but his bad habits when he was a water thief. Has anyone ever seen a habitual water thief who said, “Thank you, I’m sorry”?
Gan Ning checked it, looked up at the top of the cliff, then waved his arm and signaled.
Unlike ordinary ambushing, Gan Ning and others not only used ordinary swords, gunpowder, but also used gunpowder. At the top of the cliff, there were more than a dozen soldiers not only responsible for looking out and alert, but also guarding several rocks on the cliff.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of gunpowder and avoid the previous effect of light sound, this time the Hussars specially dug a gap under the rock and stuffed the gunpowder grenade into the gap.
According to the craftsmen in the army, this will be effective. This is how you do it when you open mountains in the Qinling Mountains...
Shi Chang above the cliff also noticed Gan Ning, so he waved his hand to respond, then turned to the soldiers beside him and said, "General is checking the ambush... You can check it too, don't be able to fall down by then, that would be awesome!"
"Don't worry!" The soldiers beside the stone did not even leave the rock. "I went to ask the craftsman for advice. There were hundreds of eyes that were dug out, so there must be no problem!"
It is impossible to succeed without blood and sweating.
The soldiers beside the stone were still wrapped in bandages.
It was scratched by a stone.
Suddenly, a few slightly anxious bird songs came from afar, and some birds were startled.
The upper and lower parts suddenly became tense, and everyone knew that there was something abnormal.
"Jiangdong Army is really here!"
...
...
Zhou Tai always felt very uncomfortable, especially when walking on this mountain road that is not a road.
He would rather be on the boat.
He was born as a pirate, but he ended up coming to climb the mountain!
This is simply...
But Zhou Tai had no choice but to obey military orders.
Because this is what he chose.
To be honest, there are not many ways that water thieves can choose. There is only one cavalry in the world. The reason why most princes use water thieves or take yellow turbans is not that they think the experience of these people is so miserable, but that they have to work hard.
Zhou Tai has already worked hard, but some people still think he is not selling enough.
Just like Zhou Yu's direct military academies, although they are not as good as Zhou Taigao's rank, when they look at Zhou Tai, they always raise their heads and expose the nose hairs in their nostrils. When they see other high-ranking officials, superiors and superiors, those guys are exposed with the hair on their necks.
Back then, Zhou Tai was poor and had no meals. Whether he could have a good meal depends on whether there was a fat sheep coming to his door.
Now Zhou Tai is indeed much better at eating, drinking, wearing and using food, drinking, wearing and using water thieves, but...
Moreover, there are a lot of water pirates in Jiangdong. After hearing about Zhou Tai’s deeds, they all encouraged each other, thinking that they would become the next Zhou Tai, but they didn’t know that a generation of leaders only needed one water pirate.
Jiang Qin was the leader of the previous generation.
Zhou Tai is the leader now...
The wind in the mountains is very cold.
Zhou Tai felt very cold.
He looked up at the surroundings, feeling that these strange rocks seemed to be enemies.
He didn't know what to say, if he said too much, the wolf would come.
But he really felt something was wrong.
Zhou Tai stopped a little, then checked the armor on his body and the shield in his hand, and then seemed to feel a little more at ease.
It's just a little bit.
Zhou Tai raised his head and looked around.
The forests are swaying and the rocks are rugged.
Every light and shadow intersect seems to have murderous intent hidden.
Zhou Tai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to give a warning, but in the end, he shut up.
"General? What's wrong?" Zhou Tai's guard asked.
『…』 Zhou Tai was silent for a while and shook his head.
He doesn't want to do the so-called "make a big deal" again...
Just as Zhou Tai was looking around, suddenly, he heard someone shouting something, and then the arrow fell down like summer hail!
『Swoosh swosh swosh swosh…』
『Kill!』
As the screams of the soldiers in Jiangdong army sounded, Gan Ning shouted, "Click the cannon! Hit the damn!"
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the rocks at the top of the cliff trembled twice, as if they were reluctant to leave the place they were used to and fell down!
Zhou Tai’s almost instinctive feeling is correct!
But no one believes him for his rightness!
Zhou Tai was suspicious for the first time before, and he was not able to find any evidence, so he became his mark. Even after encountering the ambush by the cavalry, the soldiers of Jiangdong still felt that this was not Zhou Tai's correct feeling, but just a coincidence...
So what can Zhou Tai say?
No one would believe it even after saying it.
Until I saw the danger coming with my own eyes, it was too late!
Rocks fell from the sky!
In the face of the power of nature, the so-called titles given by superiors, superiors, generals, etc. cannot be exempted from any harm!
Everyone is equal in front of the rock!
The only difference is that the meat pie is a little bit larger or a little more sparse...
...
...
Zhou Yu succeeded, but he also failed.
He successfully used the skills of his fleet, Jiangdong Navy, tore open the array of Sichuan and Shu fleets, and saved the fate of the destruction of the front team of Jiangdong Navy, but in the same way, he himself became the key target of the Sichuan and Shu navy's attack.
This is a very obvious thing.
Whether it was artillery or crossbow guns in the Sichuan Army, all of them were heading towards Zhou Yu, and the goal was very clear, which was Zhou Yu's tower ship.
The artillery is relatively difficult to turn because it is the head of the ship and is fixed, but the crossbow can turn on the shooting platform and make large angle adjustments.
At this critical moment, Zhou Yu encountered an embarrassment similar to Cao Cao.
It is better to buy the consequences.
Zhou Yu has mentioned this question more than once, but every time he puts a stamp, someone will say that Zhou Yu is "making a big deal".
Is it that serious?
Isn't it a trade war?
Who doesn't understand?
Take advantage first, eat sugar coating, and you won’t be fooled when the time comes!
Isn't this very simple?
Who can't?
The trade war was not the original creation of the cavalry, nor was it done by one family by one dynasty, but such examples have been made since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
For example, Guan Zhong killed Lu and Liang, but instead engaged in a trade war. On the one hand, Guan Zhong strongly encouraged the people to wear party fabrics, and on the other hand, he banned the country's weaving industry. The party fabrics were imported completely from the Lu and Liang countries. Not only that, Guan Zhong also gave high subsidies to the merchants of the two countries, allowing them to encourage domestic production parties to sell them to Qi. Driven by high profits, the people of the two countries abandoned farmers and planted mulberry trees, raised silkworm weaving parties, and then used the money earned by selling the parties to buy grain from Qi. When the time was ripe, Guan Zhong locked the grain, and Lu and Liang were in trouble.
In addition, China has always been waving the wool scissors of nomadic peoples, and it is also very loud.
When the Chinese dynasty in the Central Plains was strong, they would make a fortune from the surrounding nomadic peoples. Just look at how many places the Han people had on the border. Sometimes, in order to force the nomadic people to submit, these good people would deliberately make trouble...
Nomads cannot solve this trade imbalance or balance the huge trade deficit, so they can only use force and use fists to break the serious trade exploitation and trade blockade. This is how the war between nomads and the Central Plains dynasties came about.
Therefore, it is not that the people of Jiangdong do not understand these, nor that they do not know that the General of the Cavalry used soft knives, but "Everyone bought them, there are many of them, right?"
What you purchase is naturally second-class.
When there is no comparison or high-strength operation, these crossbows are not bad either.
But when it really comes to such a critical moment, the difference between the upper and lower parts will appear.
Because of the inconsistency of the rulers, the inconsistency of the system, the range and power are slightly worse. The sum of these points eventually led to the Jiangdong Navy's long-range shooting of the crossbows with the Sichuan and Shu Army.
After the long-range shooting of the crossbow chariot suffered a loss, it affected the performance of the mid- and close-range crossbowman!
Although the Jiangdong Navy in the fleet led by Zhou Yu also competed for some advantages in medium distances with its own skills, it was obtained at the cost of human life...
The advantages of the Sichuan and Shu army were obtained through equipment, technology, etc., while the advantages of the Jiangdong army were achieved through the flesh and blood of soldiers.
Which method is worth it? Perhaps different people have different answers in their hearts.
But now Zhou Yu feels that he is really frustrated in the fight now!
Does anyone know how to use equipment?
However, Zhou Yu could only equip his own troops, but could not change all the Jiangdong navy troops!
Zhou Yu's army needs to use good things, no problem, but don't think about other Jiangdong soldiers!
When talking about this, the Jiangdong gentry families made the same move, shaking their heads and having no money.
So what about Sun Quan?
He had no money either. Because Sun Quan not only wanted to raise ordinary Jiangdong soldiers, but also wanted to pay salaries to these officials!
Thousands of stones, eight hundred, six hundred, when looking at a certain person alone, the salary does not seem to be much, but the whole Jiangdong adds up to a lot!
The key is that Sun Quan cannot refuse to give it to him!
After all, Sun Quan could not give him a serious official position in the court. If he could not even pay a higher salary, who would come to Jiangdong? Who would work for him? How could he win people's hearts and win over the children of the gentry?
Moreover, Sun Quan was also cheated by the children of the Jiangdong gentry, evading taxes, etc., so he attached great importance to Yang Yi and others who could calculate, but it also led to Yang Yi and others being stuck in Zhou Yu's equipment promotion!
However, these small things that are in the eyes of the Jiangdong gentry can be delayed and wait. If they really don’t work, buy some small things that can be paid first, which eventually leads to Zhou Yu’s current great distress and trouble!
