Long Fei launched a large-scale attack on Cao Cao this time. Wu Guo, who had always been unknown, saw an opportunity. For many years, Long Fei had been compressed in this small space and had no place to display. Although he had saved his country, he slowly
It was wearing down the will of the Wu people. With the deaths of several old generals like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, Wu Guoxian felt that he had no successors.
Xu Sheng, Zhu Huan, Ding Feng, brothers Ding Feng and Quan Cong, Quan Duan and his son's generation of soldiers have also lost the domineering power of the previous generation. The Grand Governor Lu Su has also lost the ambition of decisiveness in the world in the past. The age of Taifu Zhang Zhao
He is not young anymore, and is a bit dim in many things. Generally speaking, the Wu State has been on a decline since the day it was founded. If it can't break through Long Fei's blockade, the Wu State will really be doomed.
Emperor Sun Quan is a sensible person, and he has already discovered the problem. If he can take advantage of Long Fei's attack on Cao Wei this time, and jump out of Long Fei's Yangtze River defense line, he still has a chance to survive. Seeing that everyone under his command is a little listless. Sun Quan
He deliberately coughed loudly: "My dear friends, I am worried about you today. I have important matters to discuss. Now that the Tianlong Empire has launched an offensive against Cao Wei, I want to send troops to Xuzhou again. What do you think?"
Sun Quan's words made Xu Sheng, Zhu Huan and other young generals see hope, and they were all excited. Zhang Zhao spoke first: "Your Majesty, can we wait to discuss this matter? The war between Long Fei and Wei has not yet begun. Veteran minister
I think we still need to wait until both sides are anxious and then take action. If we don't have any scruples, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"Yes!" Yu Fan nodded: "Teacher is right! The last time we sent troops was because of recklessness. In the end, not only did we not gain the advantage, but we also lost troops. We need to be cautious this time."
A group of civil servants all advised Sun Quan not to be anxious. The generals did not say a word. Lu Su, as the governor, did not speak, and the others certainly did not dare to speak. Sun Quan was tired of hearing those words of caution, so he turned to Lu Su and said: "
Zijing, what do you think we should do?"
Lu Su took two deep breaths: "Then it depends on what result your Majesty wants to see? If your Majesty wants to make a difference, you should not send troops to Xuzhou. You should send your troops back to Qiongzhou and continue southward; if your Majesty just wants to defend Jiangdong,
Land, to preserve the inheritance of father and brother, you can take refuge in Long Fei and let him drive you; if your majesty wants to hand over this land east of the Yangtze River to others, you can attack Chaisang. There is no need to abandon the near and far away and attack Xuzhou."
Lu Su's words immediately caused a huge noise. Many people began to insult him. After hearing this, Sun Quan sat in his seat without saying a word. He had seen how terrifying Long Fei was, and he also knew how powerful Long Jun was. Now Jiangdong has been captured.
Long Fei was blocking every layer, and sooner or later he would lose Xuzhou to Long Fei. What Lu Su said was true, but he was not sure whether he could really hold on to his father and brother's legacy as Lu Su said.
Sun Quan didn't say anything, and got up and went back to the back hall. He left behind a civil and military staff, and everyone taunted Lu Su. Whether they were the war faction or the peace faction, they were all very excited about what Lu Su had just said. They pointed at Lu Su.
Lu Su's nose made it difficult to hear anything. But Lu Su sat there quietly, saying nothing, with a calm expression.
Xu Sheng really couldn't stand it: "My lords, although the Governor's words are more straightforward, what he said is the truth, and each of you is becoming more and more ignorant, completely ignoring the survival of our country of Wu. I heard that some people are still
When buying houses and land and harming the countryside, do you dare to think that this is for our country, Wu? You said that the governor is not enterprising, so what have you done?"
"Presumptuous!" A lieutenant was furious: "Xu Sheng, who are you? Do you dare to speak nonsense here? How can a young general yell in the court? How unbecoming! Come on, pull Xu Sheng away.
Go down and chop it!"
"Ahem!" Lu Su coughed lightly: "My lord, Xu Sheng is my subordinate, and it is up to me to decide how to deal with it, so I won't bother you, lord!"
Seeing Lu Su leading a group of generals out of the hall, Zhang Zhao shook his head and sighed: "Hey! The people of Jiangnan no longer have the same heroic spirit as before. You can take care of yourself!"
The Wu State did not dare to act rashly, but Long Fei was really vigorous. The soldiers and horses went ahead without using food and grass. In order to cooperate with this war, the Tianlong Empire urgently mobilized hundreds of thousands of civilians to transport the necessary food, grass and weapons to the front line. In order to reduce the burden, Long Fei ordered
The four-wheeled carriage designed by Fei Fei and built under the supervision of Ma Jun was of great use. Not only was this carriage fast, it also required fewer animals to pull it, which greatly reduced the burden on the people.
In addition to transporting grain, four-wheeled carriages are also the only means of transporting troops. Ever since he occupied Jingzhou, Long Fei has not relaxed the construction of roads. He changed the old official road from a dirt road to a gravel road and widened it.
, trees are planted on both sides, which looks particularly beautiful. With Guandao as the center, transportation extending in all directions covers the entire Jingzhou. Now the roads in Yizhou and Liangzhou are being reconstructed.
This kind of official road of sand and gravel is not afraid of rain, and four-wheeled carriages can run smoothly and quickly on it, which is only a little fuller than the boats going down the river. With this infrastructure, the dragon army can gather at a speed that is completely faster than that of the boats going down the river.
Cao Cao's imagination. In addition, the high efficiency of the imperial court requires a special person to be responsible for a transfer order. From procurement to transportation, only the grain officer at the destination needs to sign and receive it, and the business will be effective. It can be said that the dragon
The efficiency of the military is completely based on commerce. The government is just the purchaser. Whoever has good goods and fast delivery will naturally have business. Whether you are a government office or a commercial office, everyone has only one goal, which is to be fast and efficient.
If you place a good order in Wancheng, you will naturally make money.
Merchants pursue profit, and Long Fei did not deprive them of this hobby, and even did what they wanted for me. Compared with Cao Wei's situation where the government took care of everything, and only a few military supplies were sent to the destination after layers of deductions.
In this way, Long Jun has risen to a higher level. Because Long Fei is a modern man, he understands that war is about logistics and supplies. From the perspective of understanding war, he is already standing on a commanding heights.
Looking at the troops gathering towards Cao Long's border from all directions, Cao Cao finally couldn't sit still. He regretted not listening to Dong Zhao's words and stopping Sima Yi from assassinating Long Fei. Now that the matter has not been accomplished, Long Fei was annoyed.
I know if I can get through this hurdle. Cao Cao is also a hero. Although he regrets in his heart, his face is still calm, and he can't tell how anxious he is, giving people a feeling of strategizing.
The atmosphere in the morning court was a bit solemn. As soon as Cao Cao opened his mouth, he called General Manpang out: "My dear, the Dragon Army is coming in a mighty force of 400,000 people. Do you have any countermeasures?"
Man Pang was so suppressed that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he murmured for a long time: "Your Majesty, the Dragon Army is powerful and all are elites. Our army is short of soldiers and horses. If we want to resist, we can only defend according to danger. When the Dragon Army is exhausted, use surprise troops."
Perhaps there is still a chance of winning if we are caught off guard?"
"Defend according to danger? General, what danger do we have now?" Dong Zhao looked disdainful.
"Hmm..." After another long time, Man Pang said: "The Yellow River, the Yellow River's natural dangers can be considered as one side!"
"What a joke, didn't the general see the warships in the Yellow River? It would be easy for the Dragon Army to cross the Yellow River, and we have no room to fight back!" Dong Zhao said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, for this plan, some states and counties should be abandoned.
, shrink the army, move the capital to the north to Jixian, and then hand over Sima Yi to Ping Long Fei's anger, so that there is room for maneuver!"
"Abandon the prefectures and counties? Does Mr. Dong mean to hand over the great rivers and mountains of the Wei Dynasty to others?" Cao Pi immediately retorted: "Father, you must not do it. These places were brought by the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty who fought bloody battles led by the emperor father.
It is a small matter to lose face by giving up, and it will undermine the dignity of Wei Dynasty. How is this different from surrendering without a fight? Father, please think again!"
"What the prince said is absolutely true!" Liu Ye said hurriedly: "Long Fei has long wanted to annex our country of Wei. If he gives up easily, Long Jun will have no way to stop him, and I'm afraid it will be even more endless. Instead of escaping, it is better to fight with Long Fei.
You and I live and die, fish and fish die, let the world see that I, the great Wei Dynasty, am not afraid of Long Fei!"
"Fight? Dare you guys fight? Why fight with Long Fei?" Dong Zhao said: "Although we have an army of 500,000, most of them are soldiers who have never been on the battlefield. There are less than one or two who can fight. We are defeated again and again and have no heart to fight.
, at that time I couldn’t even retreat even if I wanted to.”
Cao Cao waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and turned his head to Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "Your Majesty, I think we can stand or retreat! The main force of the Long Army this time is Huang Zhong's army, and Long Fei is in the camp.
, Your Majesty can order Yu Jin and others who are staying in Luoyang to defend to the death. If they win, they will launch a full-scale attack. If they lose, they will immediately gather their troops and return to Yecheng to aid. It means that Henan can no longer be defended and it will be a good move to retreat to Youzhou."
"No!" Dong Zhao wanted to organize again. Cao Cao said: "I have been fighting in the south and north for several years. The Yuan brothers, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Du were so fierce that they were all defeated by me. Only Long Fei always suppressed him.
Is it possible that he has three friends and six arms above our heads? Since he dares to invade our border, he must fight. We have been enemies with Long Fei since the founding of Wei State. I am afraid that we will not be able to escape. I have made up my mind.
,war!"
The war that Cao Cao called was not a full-scale war. As Cheng Yu said, only Yu Jin's army who stayed in Luoyang was allowed to defend Luoyang. At the same time, the Henan states had made preparations for an emergency retreat. The soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Qingzhou had already retreated to Hebei, and from
Jizhou in Youzhou dispatched troops and horses to Youzhou in an attempt to prevent the Dragon Army's navy from landing. Bingzhou's soldiers and horses retreated to the Changshan line, relying on Taihang Mountain and the Inner Great Wall to block Zhao Yun's army.
When Yu Jin received the news, he shook his head repeatedly. He was not afraid of fighting, but Cao Cao's order was obviously to abandon himself. Yu Jin's men were the only remaining elites of Cao Cao's army. After these people were defeated, Cao Cao's army had no more troops to send. Long Fei crossed over.
Huang He no longer resisted. Looking at the edict in his hand, Yu Jin sighed. Li Dian and Yue Jin also meant the same thing. On the contrary, the general Sima Yi saw the key.
Sima Yi said: "Generals, your Majesty's intention is for us to defeat the Dragon Army. If we win, Wei will be saved. If we lose..." He did not say the next words. After explaining the result, Sima Yi changed the topic: "In my opinion, we must win."
The Dragon Army is not a difficult task! If you generals can trust me, I will ensure that the Dragon Army never comes back!"
