Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 49: Cao Shuang tried to use his plan to make a truce with Soochow, but Soochow lost two generals!
Chapter 49: Cao Shuang tried to use his plan to make a truce with Soochow, but Soochow lost two generals!
At this point, Nanjun's current urgent matters have been temporarily busy, and notices of peace and security were issued to all parts of Nanjun on the same day that Nanjun was pacified. Time has almost come to July, and the weather in Jingzhou is extremely hot and humid, making people even more unbearable.
Endure…
In a small courtyard in the Jingzhou County Sheriff's Mansion, under the shade of a tree, Cao Shuang was wearing a gauze white dress, leaning on the couch, and Sun Luban, wearing a blue gauze dress, was sitting on the edge of the couch, fanning himself.
From time to time, he would take some melons and fruits that had been chilled with ice cream and gently feed them into Cao Shuang's mouth with his slender jade hands.
This bronze ice bowl is placed in front of the couch. The ice bowl is divided into two layers: the outer layer is filled with ice, and the inner layer is used to chill fruits, vegetables and wine.
The maid was also asked to use a large-scale cooling device called the "impeller wind blower" invented by a craftsman in Chang'an during the Western Han Dynasty to cool off the heat. This can be said to be the original form of a fan.
This "impeller wind blower" connects seven large fan blades one foot long (about 3.33 meters) and installs them on a shaft to make a huge "seven-wheel fan", with a rope tied to the axis.
Quickly pull the rope on the axis, and the fan blades will rotate and generate wind.
The cicadas are chirping all around, one after another. If only the weather were not so muggy, everything would be fine.
Sun Luban smiled slightly and said: "General, come here, how does it taste to drink the lychee soup that I personally chilled?" Then he filled a bowl of lychee soup with a lacquer bowl and personally fed it into Cao Shuang's mouth with a small spoon. p>
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "Thanks to Dahu, I can drink such sweet Jiangdong flavor!"
Sun Luban said: "General, I have something to ask of you, and I hope the general can agree."
Cao Shuang pretended to be confused and said: "Oh, Dahu actually asked me for something. What's the matter? Let's talk about it, maybe I will agree to it as soon as I am happy."
In fact, when Sun Luban said the word "beg" just now, he already knew what she was asking for. It was probably to beg him to let her father Biyaner go and preserve her father's corner of Jiangdong. Upon hearing what Cao Shuang said, Sun Luban immediately showed a look of pear blossoms and said: "General, I would like to ask your majesty to let my father go, and let him live peacefully in Jiangdong and never cross the Yangtze River again."
Attack the land of Jiangdong!"
Cao Shuang pretended to suddenly realize it and said with a smile: "Dahu turns out to be worried about this matter. How can I tell you that you have been depressed recently."
Sun Luban said coquettishly: "General, will you agree to my request?"
Cao Shuang pretended to ponder for a moment and said with a slight seriousness: "Well, I thought about it and decided to agree to Dahu's request. Who makes Sun Quan Dahu's father? If it were anyone else, I would definitely not agree to it.
I will agree to his request."
Cao Shuang also understands that there is still a Shu Han watching from behind. According to a recent report from the school affairs office, Sun and Liu Yu have reunited.
Sun Wu's defeat this time also frightened the Shu Han. He was worried that it would be his turn to suffer such a defeat tomorrow. As the old saying goes, if the lips die, the teeth will become cold. The Shu Han also understands this truth.
The two families hit it off immediately. At this moment, the Wu envoy Zhuge Ke has entered Shu and is expected to arrive in Chengdu in a few days. By then, Sun and Liu will be together again.
If he continues to go to Jiangdong and penetrates deep into Wu, this small amount of troops will probably not be enough. He will definitely use all the troops of Wei. Sun Quan will also definitely use all the soldiers of Jiangdong to resist. By then, the Wei army will probably fall into the quagmire of war in Jiangdong.
After all, rabbits will still bite when they are anxious.
And the Shu Han will also take advantage of the time when they have gathered all the troops of the Wei Dynasty to go south, and then go out of Qishan to capture Chang'an and other places in Guanzhong. After all, who can not use such a good opportunity?
Sun Tzu once said in the Art of War: "To attack an enemy who is unprepared, to surprise him." In war, you must attack the place where he is unprepared and attack from the place where he is not expecting. Only in this way can victory be easily won.
Emperor Wu also once commented on Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Strike laziness and bring out emptiness."
At that time, the Wei Dynasty will be attacked from both sides, and it will be difficult to deal with it. It is better to stop and stop the profit. First, slowly digest the five counties of Sun Wujiang, Bei Guangling, Jiujiang, Lujiang, Jiangxia, and Nanjun. After Sun Quan dies, he can go south again.
It will be much easier for Jiangdong by then, since he doesn’t have a few years left anyway.
Furthermore, in early June, news came from Jiangdong that the Marquis Yong'an of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, the Great Sima of the Left, and the Military Advisor Zhu Ran of the Right were already on the sickbed and were about to die soon.
He was defeated by his son in Hefei Xincheng and lost 30,000 troops. On the fifth day of May, Soochow was defeated by Cao Shuang with a fire attack, and he lost 200,000. In early June, Soochow lost 200,000 men.
Already gone,
At the age of sixty-eight, Sun Quan, who returned to Jianye, mourned for him and stayed away from court for three days. He was deeply saddened. Sun Quan said to those around him: "We have lost another pillar of our country in Soochow!"
Zhu Ran was the nephew of Zhu Zhi, the famous general of Wu State. He was adopted by Zhu Zhi as his adopted son in his early years, and had a close relationship with Sun Quan while he was studying.
After Sun Quan took over the great cause of Jiangdong, he successively served as the chief of Yu Yao, the commander of Shanyin, the prefect of Linchuan, and the captain of Chongxiao, leading the army to pacify the bandits.
He once followed Lu Meng to capture and kill Guan Yu, and for his merits he was promoted to General Zhaowu and granted the title of Marquis of Xi'an Township.
After Lu Meng died, he replaced Lu Meng to guard Jingzhou.
In the Battle of Yiling, he worked with Lu Xun to defeat his brother-in-law Liu Bei, became the General of Zhengbei, and was granted the title of Marquis of Yong'an.
When Wei took the opportunity to attack Wu, Zhu Ran could not hold out. Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang, Zhang He and other Wei generals besieged Jiangling for six months without breaking the city. From then on, it became "famous to the enemy country".
By mid-June, Quan Cong also died of depression due to his old illness and the defeat in Jingzhou. In the end, he failed to realize his dream of dying in battle.
Sun Quan stayed away from court for another three days and went to the whole mansion to pay homage in person. He helped Quan Cong's coffin and cried loudly: "It's been only half a month since Yi Feng left. I don't want you to leave me again. It really hurts me!"
Later, due to excessive grief, he lay down on the coffin and passed out. The imperial doctor worked hard to save him, and then he woke up.
Quan Cong was very strategic and participated in the planning of many important battles in Soochow.
His father, Quan Rou, was a long-time general of the Sun family. At that time, scholars from Zhongzhou fled to the south of the Yangtze River, and hundreds of people lived in Quan Cong. Quan Cong often spent his family wealth to provide relief, and the rich and poor shared weal and woe, so he became famous far and wide. p>
Later, Sun Quan appointed Quan Cong as a powerful captain, assigned thousands of troops, and ordered him to conquer Shanyue. Quan Cong recruited more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and went out to garrison Niuzhu. He was promoted to a partial general because of his meritorious service. In the 24th year of Jian'an, he made suggestions.
Capture Guan Yu, defeat Xiangfan Gong, and make Yang Huatinghou.
In the third year of Huangchu (222), Cao Xiu, the Wei State envoy, led the boat army out of the cave. Sun Quan sent Lu Fan to supervise the generals to resist them. Quan Cong often led armored soldiers and waited on them endlessly. He and Xu Sheng defeated the enemy troops and killed them.
Wei General Yin Lu.
Due to his meritorious service, he was promoted to General of Suinan and granted the title of Marquis of Qian Tang. Soon he joined forces with Lu Xun to attack Cao Xiu at Shiting.
At that time, the mountain people in Danyang, Wu, and Kuaiji counties revolted and conquered the subordinate counties. Sun Quan divided the three counties into dangerous areas and established Dong'an County, with Quan Cong as the prefect.
During his term of office, he knew how to reward and punish people, lured and surrendered, and recruited more than 10,000 people in a few years, and the territory was settled. It can be said that he has made outstanding achievements.
Sun Wu lost two generals in a row. If he hadn't been forced into a panic, it would probably be impossible for him to start another war within a few years...
