() Fifty thousand new soldiers were added to Jingzhou. In order to train the soldiers more intensively so that they would be able to fight in the eastward expedition against Sun Ce, all the generals began to train their troops.
Pang, the deputy commander of the infantry, led 30,000 soldiers and horses to practice 20 miles outside Xiangyang City. General Zhang Fei, deputy generals Liao Li, and Liu Pan led the soldiers to practice military formations every day, practice martial arts, and exercise their bodies.
The soldiers were trained like dead dogs every day. Zhang Fei had strict requirements on the soldiers, so every night the soldiers were as tired as dead dogs and lay in bed unable to get up. They slept until dawn.
Such high-intensity military training is impossible without good food. Fortunately, Xiangyang is wealthy, and Liu Qi once encouraged civilians to raise birds, pigs and sheep. Therefore, one meal a day of meat can still be supplied, and the food supply is sufficient. It will take less than a month.
, the quality of the soldiers has been greatly improved, and all of them have big muscles.
Liu Qi asked Yang Yi, who was in charge, to formulate a detailed military training plan. Yang Yi was indeed a great talent. After Liu Qi explained and Yang Yi compiled it, a reasonable military training plan was born. On it was written the daily training plan,
Use veterans to lead new recruits.
When to get up, when to do morning exercises, and when to have breakfast are all clearly written down. Soldiers' strength, martial arts, and military formation training are all practiced in their own time. There are also simple military education for basic officers, etc. It can be said that in the world
The first infantry manual.
Liu Qi took the army training plan and praised him profusely: "Wei Gong is indeed a great talent. With just a few suggestions from me, he was able to compile such a reasonable military code. He is truly a genius in this world!"
Yang Yi is still a young scholar, but his arrogance is still inherent in his bones. He said modestly: "My lord, you are welcome."
Liu Qi still knows about the history of Yang Yi and Wei Yan. In fact, Yang Yi and Wei Yan are the same kind of people, with the same character. They are proud of their talents and like to be complimented by others, but they don't like compliments. But these are all brought up.
now they
They are still young and should be able to restrain themselves a lot under Liu Qi's "training". Moreover, those who are much more powerful than them just look down on those who are dumber than them. With the suppression of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, I am afraid they will not be arrogant, otherwise it is not arrogance.
But he was stupid.
When the army training plan was just handed over to the generals, the generals were full of praise after reading it. However, the soldiers complained and complained. The signature on the book was Yang Yi. When the soldiers learned about it, they cursed secretly.
He also gave Yang Yi the nickname "Yang Papi", which means that if you practice according to the book, you still have to peel off layers of skin.
Liu Qi laughed loudly after hearing this and told Yang Yi the allusion. At that time, Yang Yi's face turned dark, and Liu Qi couldn't stop making fun of him. Liu Qi is such a villain!
The Jingzhou army was training vigorously, but Jiangdong on the opposite side was not that capable. Since Sun Ce was defeated at the hands of Liu Qi, although he hated it deeply, he could do nothing about it. Jiangdong was originally poorer than Jingzhou, with mountains and mountains, and the nobles were suppressed in Jiangdong.
politics
In history, after Sun Ce died, Sun Quan spent several years conquering Shanyue in order to stabilize his power and appease the nobles. He missed the best period to expand his territory because Cao Cao was attacking the four Yuan clans.
state.
After Sun Ce's defeat, he recruited another 20,000 new soldiers, and the total in Jiangdong was only 50,000 or 60,000. In addition, Shanyue was rampant, and the city's defenders accounted for a large proportion.
Recently, Liu Xun conquered Lujiang. The six counties Sun Ce occupied should be Lujiang County, Danyang County, Wu County, Kuaiji County, Yuzhang County, and Luling County. His uncle Wu Jing was the prefect of Danyang, and Sun Ben was the prefect of Yuzhang.
, Sun Fu was the prefect of Luling, Zhu Zhi was the prefect of Wu County, Li Shu was the prefect of Lujiang, and Sun Ce was the prefect of Kuaiji.
The six counties in Jiangdong were barely formed. As for Qianbu, grain, grass, population and military strength, they were far less than Liu Qi. Zhang Zhao of Pengcheng, Zhang Hong of Guangling, Qin Song, Chen Duan and others were the masterminds. Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were the generals, which was very difficult.
With Liu Qi restraining Sun Ce, Cao Cao's rear is also very stable. Wei Yan in Runan is not so much a nail in Cao Cao's heart as Liu Qi's frontline against Sun Ce. For this reason, Cao Cao also removed Cao Hong.
Man Chong and others went to Guandu with their troops.
To assist in the battle, Liu Qi's butterfly wings had some influence. Because of Liu Qi's alliance with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao took Cao Cao seriously and ordered his disciples to lead troops in advance to help in the battle. This increased the pressure on Cao Cao by three points. However,
There is no need to worry about food and grass for the time being.
The Jingzhou army has been trained by the generals for more than two months. It is first showing its strength and looks a bit elite, but after all, it has never been on the battlefield and has not been baptized with iron and blood. It is still not good enough. The three military camps in Xiangyang, Jiangling and Xiakou are basically
I went through the first stage of training according to the army training plan and was barely able to go to the battlefield.
Cao Cao transferred some troops to Xuchang and wrote to Liu Qi asking Liu Qi to also withdraw some troops. Liu Qi thought about it, discussed it with his advisers and agreed.
Anyway, Cao Cao will attack Yuan Shao, and Liu Qi will send troops to Sun Ce. By transferring the troops of Xu Shu, Wei Yan and others, the strength of the attack on Jiangdong will be greatly increased.
In the Military Affairs Office of the side hall of General Zhengnan's house, Liu Qi sat with his head lowered and thought for a while. Suddenly he raised his head and a young man dressed as a scholar with a perseverance on his handsome face said: "Kong Ming, write to me the order of the Governor of the Metropolitan: Order Wan
city
Xu Shu led 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry to Xiangyang to wait for orders; he ordered Huo Jun of Xiangcheng to lead 10,000 troops to garrison; at the same time, he ordered Wei Yan and Gong Du of Runan to lead 10,000 troops to the south camp of Xiangyang, and Liu Pi led 5,000 troops.
Stay in Runan."
"Swish, swish, swish" was written like a flowing stream. After a while, Zhuge Liang finished writing. Liu Qi took out the golden seal of the Governor, sighed, and sealed it.
Putting away the gold seal, Liu Qi said: "I have sent you six hundred miles to hurry up and send it to two places. There must be no mistake."
"No." Zhuge Liang immediately ordered his servants to do it.
Liu Qi looked outside at the dark clouds, violent winds, and thunderous weather, and sighed: "The sky is going to change." Jiang Wan, who was working hard on the side, looked up at the sky and said, "Yes, the sky is going to change."
In late May of the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce came back from his expedition to Shanyue. He had nothing to do and led dozens of riders out of the city to hunt. He was riding a fine fine horse, all white, as fast as lightning, driving away deer.
Those who follow will never catch up.
When he was running as fast as the wind, three people suddenly jumped out from the grass, bent their bows and arrows, and fired at him. In his haste, Sun Ce was unable to dodge and was hit by an arrow in the cheek. At this time, the cavalry guards behind him had arrived.
, shooting three people to death with random arrows.
It turned out that Sun Ce had killed Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County. After Xu Gong's death, his followers hid among the people, looking for opportunities to avenge him, and this time they finally succeeded.
