Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 517 There will be no shortage of opportunities to make achievements and bait for fishing
Chapter 517 There will be no shortage of opportunities to make achievements and bait for fishing
Quan Cong smiled and explained: "I won't let you go. Now that the war in Liaodong has begun, will there be less opportunities for you to make contributions to Jiangdong in the future?"
After hearing Quan Cong's explanation, Quan Xu was obviously dissatisfied, so he continued to speak: "Da Sima, let alone the future, I think there is still a chance to make meritorious deeds today. Is it possible that Da Sima still wants to steal credit from his subordinates?"
No? This is a taboo for an army commander.
Grand Sima, please don’t forget that Guan Yunchang wanted to compete with Zhuge Liang for the credit of the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, which gave me Jiangdong the opportunity to regain Jingzhou!
Jingzhou was lost because Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang were competing for credit, mainly due to arrogance and complacency!
Guan Yu did not lose Jingzhou due to carelessness, nor was he a lone northern leader. It was because he wanted to compete with Zhuge Liang for credit, so he made the mistake of fighting on two fronts!
He thought that since he had annihilated the main force of Soochow in the battle with Soochow and made a peace treaty with Soochow, he could worry about the Northern Expedition and fight for the great cause of the Northern Power Wei State to pacify the world. However, he did not know that Soochow did not abide by the peace treaty and stabbed him in the back.
knife!
Jingzhou is a crossroads, and everyone wants it. Liu Bei's base is in Shu, and it is too difficult to support Jingzhou.
If Guan Yu doesn't conquer the sky, he will die if he stays there. So Guan Yu's strategy is not wrong.
In the final analysis, it is because of the poor geographical location of Shu and Han. It is difficult for Jingzhou to make progress in the Central Plains, and it is even more difficult without Jingzhou.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were also at fault. Strategically, they knew full well that Guan Yu's northern faction and Soochow would take advantage of the opportunity to seize Jingzhou. Why didn't they send troops to Wuchang, a habitable place, to control Jiujiang and cover Guan Yu's rear?
Guan Yu also ignored Zhuge Liang's pre-strategic arrangements and stayed in Jingzhou to avoid danger. He united with Wu to fight against Wei and Wei against Wu, cutting off the connection between Wei and Wu. He encouraged Zhuge Liang to go out to Longxi to capture Wei! So he was destined to have his head removed!
Guan Yu was too arrogant, so it was a reasonable choice for Zhuge Liang to guard Jingzhou, and Liu Bei did the same thing at the beginning. Unfortunately, Pang Tong died, and Liu Bei always lacked military staff, and both Fa Zheng and Pang Tong died early.
Liu Bei's two biggest mistakes were that he had no support for Guan Yu's Northern Expedition, and that he ruined the Shu Han elite in the Battle of Yiling. From then on, Zhuge Liang had no generals to use.
Guan Yu himself valued martial arts over literature (Zhang Fei respected civilized people, but had a bad temper and some serious character flaws), and the world's warriors were reduced to nothing, and the world was invincible.
There is no danger to defend Jingzhou. Moreover, Jingzhou is a strategic location. Both Shu and Wu want it. The state of Wu offered to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but Zhuge Liang believed that he had won it back from Cai Mao.
Both sides want to capture Jingzhou. I think this is the key point of Cao Cao's strategy of leaving Shu and Wu alone.
I have been cultivating myself, pioneering wasteland, and raising troops for more than ten years. It is foggy in the summer in the south, and it is easy to lose the empty city in Jingzhou.
Regardless of whether Guan Yu defends Jingzhou or someone else defends Jingzhou, as long as Jingzhou's troops are empty, it will be easily lost.
Jingzhou traces back to its origins as a bait and a chess piece used by Cao Cao to balance Soochow and Shu. Shu and Wu would fight for it no matter who occupied Jingzhou.
Because it is an important strategic location, the nine counties below are all rich in grain and rice and the birthplace of Jingxiang's talents. Wu and Shu fought, and the Wei State benefited from pioneering, training, and cultivation.
It was also Liu Bei who was unkind and even wrote a document saying that he would not return Jingzhou!
At the end of the road, we united with Sun Quan and achieved a great victory in Chibi.
Soochow worked hard and got nothing. He stayed with his wife and fell ill again, and even brought in Zhou Lang.
Guan Yu was so despised that no one could bear to take this breath.
Defeat is inevitable. Soochow used the whole country to attack Jingzhou, and Cao Wei also used most of its main force to attack Jingzhou.
However, Jingzhou did not have any backup. It can be said that the Wei and Wu families mobilized the entire country to attack, how could they not be defeated?
In fact, as a general who has been fighting all year round, Guan Yu made common sense strategic mistakes. I wonder if Guan Yu was really so arrogant in history. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he should not have underestimated the enemy and advanced without leaving a way for himself.
of,
Maybe Guan Yu is only suitable to be a general, not a commander.
Guan Yunchang was arrogant and arrogant by nature, good at the Northern Expedition, and united with Soochow with the confidence of a gentleman, but he forgot the military tricks of the world!
Sun Quan, Lu Xun, and Lu Meng originally wanted to return to Jingzhou, but they couldn't deceive Guan Yu in ungentleman ways and join forces with Cao Cao. They even married Cao Cao two years earlier.
If Guan Yunchang was not focused on competing with Zhuge Liang for merit, and wanted to compete with his elder brother Liu Xuande for face, he would probably be able to hold on to Jingzhou because of Guan Yunchang's reputation and not go north but continue to guard Jingzhou.
It can be seen that the harm of insisting on seeking credit regardless of the overall situation is still quite great. Quan Xu just said this,
Quan Cong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I will not compete with you for credit. I am now the Great Sima, so why should I compete with you for credit? If it does, it will not only cause trouble for myself, but also bring trouble to myself."
Your Majesty, by adding more trouble, isn't this because of your great achievements?"
Quanxu thought for a while and said: "Then the Great Sima wants to hand over the four cities of Wulu, Liaoyang, Jiandu, and Liaodu to Xianbei, and Gao Xunli will take them?
If this is the case, it is better to let me go and capture these four cities. I am willing to issue a military order within ten days. If we cannot capture it, Grand Sima can use my military law to engage in military affairs!"
Quan Cong smiled and said: "Now is not the time to take the four cities east of Xiangping. If we take them now, we won't be able to get the fish to take the bait. This is the bait.
Don't move now. Once you catch the fish, you can just go and get these four cities. I won't stop you."
Only then did Quan Xu suddenly realize it, and said happily: "Great Sima Yingming, the general finally understands."
Quan Cong nodded and said: "You are still a malleable talent. You can see through everything at once. I have not wasted so many years of teaching you!"
The Wei army led by Cheng Xi galloped along Wu End Road for three days, and finally arrived at the west bank of Daliao River on the afternoon of the third day. It took half an hour to build a pontoon bridge for the army to cross the river.
Wu Jun's patrolling cavalry discovered the traces of Wei Jun's brigade early, and quickly returned to the east bank from the simple pontoon bridge built by Wu Jun. Then they destroyed the pontoon bridge and let the wood flow down the river. After a while, they disappeared...
…
The sunshine on the first mountain in the afternoon was very good. Zhang Qun and Du De were leading people to inspect the deployment of troops and horses, and to check the reserve of Thunder Stone Rolling Wood. Zhang Qun saw that everything was ready, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, wait until Wei Gou comes.
, you will use these things to hit them hard, even if you can't cause many casualties,
I will also smash their military morale into chaos. If you are victorious, I will ask Grand Sima for your merits and will not hesitate to reward you!"
Qin Dan raised the sword in his hand high and said: "We must win, we must win, Soochow must win!"
The soldiers of the Wu army on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain also raised their weapons high and said: "We must win, we must win!"......
Two quarters of an hour later, the knights in front dismounted and ran quickly to Qin Dan. Du De saluted in front of him: "Two generals, the Wei army has arrived on the west bank of the Daliao River and is building a pontoon bridge to cross the river. It will arrive in an hour.
