When it comes to Hanshou, many people may be familiar with it.
However, most people know that Hanshou is the title derived from the title of "Han Shoutinghou", the righteous Lord Guan during the Three Kingdoms period.
Hanshou has a long history. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, it was established and named Suo County.
In the third year of Yangjia in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, AD 134, it was renamed Hanshou. It is adjacent to Dongting in the north, and has Yuan River and Cao River running through it, directly entering the rivers and seas, so water transportation is quite convenient.
It's just that Cao Peng didn't understand why Xun Yu asked him to set up a governor's palace in Hanshou.
Seeing the confused look on Cao Peng's face, Xun Yu smiled and said in a deep voice, "Do you think the prime minister asked you to be the governor of Jingnan just for Liu Bei?"
"Is not it?"
"certainly!"
Xun Yu took a deep breath, walked side by side with Cao Peng, and climbed onto the wall of the Tang Dynasty.
There were guards accompanying them behind to protect them, but they were far away and could not hear the conversation between the two of them. As for other people, they could not get close to the two of them, which also made their conversation extremely safe and convenient. Hands were used to build Tangcheng Duo.
, raised his eyes and looked eastward, and was silent for a long time.
After a while, Xun Yu said softly: "The Prime Minister's intention to attack Jiangdong has not stopped."
"ah?"
"Don't misunderstand, the Prime Minister does not want to conquer now.
However, Jiangdong is uncertain, so how can we talk about unification? Not to mention the word ZTE... However, the Prime Minister also knows that now is not a good opportunity for conquest. As you said, the naval army has not yet been established, and there are no generals who are good at water warfare.
Jiangdong is bound to be difficult. The terrain of Jiangdong is complex and even better than that of Jingchu. If we cannot succeed in one battle, it will inevitably waste people and money, and cost a lot, so the prime minister is also very cautious.
The prime minister had two intentions in capturing Jingnan.
The first is to use the terrain in Jingnan to train troops so that they can avoid the terrain problems when attacking Jiangdong in the future; the second is to train the navy and find a place for the navy to train... Haha,
Does Ah Fu know now what the prime minister’s intentions are?”
Cao Peng opened his mouth wide and nodded after a while.
However, he seemed to react immediately, turned to look at Xun Yu and said: "Military advisor, do you mean that the prime minister wants to remove Cai Mao?"
"It's just morning and evening."
Cao Peng was not surprised by Xun Yu's answer.
The navy is of extremely important significance to Cao Cao. He will definitely not hand over hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the navy to Cai Hao. Not to mention Cai Hao's ability, just the word "loyalty" is enough.
No way. How could Cao Cao give him the navy?
Seeing Cao Peng's reaction, Xun Yu whispered: "The prime minister's intention is to let the Dongting Navy break away from the Jingzhou Navy.
Before the navy retreated, the prime minister had arranged for Deputy Governor Du Bohou to detach 20,000 people from the Jingzhou navy and station them in Dongting. In name, it was to resist the navy from the east of the Boluoyuan River, but in fact it was to start a new battle.
The convenience of Dongting is to imitate the drill and training of the Chaisang Navy in Jiangdong. On the one hand, it allows Cai Mao to contain the Jiangdong Navy and consume the strength of the Jingzhou Navy; on the other hand, it allows Du Bohou to train the Navy so that when the time is right, it can take advantage of the trend to move eastward.
, and went straight to Jiangdong. You know this, I know it, and no one else can know it."
Cao Peng understands!
Cao Cao is building his own navy team...
Although there is a naval force on Dongling Island, the establishment time is too short and the foundation is too weak. Zhou Cang's naval force is centered on Dongling Island, and with the support of Xuzhou, it can span the lower reaches of the river and block the entrance of the river. But it can
It would be impractical to rely on the Dongling Island navy to conquer Jiangdong. Cai Mao controlled the Jiangdong navy and did not let Cao Cao rest assured. So under the pretext of letting Du Ji rest, he transferred elites from the Jingzhou navy to recuperate and practice in Dongting Lake.
The navy is equivalent to Cao Cao establishing his own navy.
Du Ji was once a subordinate of Cao Peng.
Cai Mao would definitely not be happy with him sharing authority in the army, but he couldn't refuse.
Now that Du Ji is gone and has returned to his old boss's subordinates, Cai Mao will not notice it, but will even be very happy. And Bo Luoyuan's Jiangdong Navy just gave Cao Cao an excuse... In this way, Cao Cao's
The arrangement is really very thorough.
Cao Peng secretly admired Cao Cao's meticulousness.
At the same time, he also understood Xun Yu's intention of setting up the governor's palace in Hanshou.
Hanshou is located in the middle of Dongting, Lingyang, Zuotang, and Yuannan, and is close to Linyuan. It is indeed the best choice.
"In this case, I will establish the Governor's Palace in Hanshou."
"Very good!"
Xun Yu saw that Cao Peng had understood, so he stopped talking and said, "We will rest for one night in Tang Dynasty and set off tomorrow... I have ordered people to make arrangements in Hanshou. You can go to Linyuan first and meet Lai Gong before going to Han."
Shou. Wait for Ling Ming and Wen Chang to arrive in three days and head to Yuannan together."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cao Cao gave Cao Peng the governorship of Jingnan, which was equivalent to returning all military and political affairs to Cao Peng.
But the problem is that although Cao Peng has had the experience of being on his own, he is still young after all. And his opponent this time is also different from before. Although this is not the first time he has fought with Liu Bei, the Liu Bei now is different from the Liu Bei he was in Nanyang.
It cannot be said in the same way...
Having Xun Yu as his support is definitely a good thing for Cao Peng.
Among Cao Cao's five chief planners, Xun Yu's ability must not be underestimated. When he defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao praised Xun Yu as "my son's house". Although most of the time, Xun Yu's performance was not outstanding, in fact
The most indispensable one is Xun Yu.
After all, Xun Yu's vision, strategy and overall view are all outstanding.
Even compared with Xun Yu, Guo Jia is not as good as him.
Cao Peng felt that it would be an excellent opportunity for him to get Xun Yu's help. Therefore, he did not feel restricted by others, but was secretly happy in his heart.
Since the beginning of spring in the 13th year of Jian'an, the river has suddenly become lively.
There were constant ships going to and from both sides of the river, including envoys from Cao Cao, envoys from Liu Bei, and even envoys from as far away as Yizhou.
After Liu Zhang obtained the position of Grand Situ, he immediately became high-spirited.
Perhaps in his opinion, Yizhou's voice cannot be ignored in the upcoming war. So Liu Zhang sent people to Jiangdong and gave Sun Quan 300 strong men... Well, at least that's what Liu Zhang said in the letter.
But when Sun Quan saw the three hundred 'strong men', he almost cried! The so-called strong men were probably from twenty years ago... All of them had gray hair on their temples and looked very thin, and the youngest one was in his forties.
, the oldest one is almost sixty. Is this a 'strong man' or a 'master'!
According to historical records, Liu Zhang presented 300 old soldiers to Jiangdong.
The point is, that 'old man', a group of old soldiers...
But Sun Quan could not refuse, and even had to pay a high price for these three hundred "old soldiers".
Needless to say, gold and silver treasures are reciprocal. Sun Quan had to pinch his nose and respect Liu Zhang as "Da Situ", but in his heart, he was about to fuck Liu Zhang's ancestors for eighteen generations. This guy shouldn't be an official, but should be a
Businessmen are bound to make a lot of money.
Xun Yan is here!
Zhong Yao is here!
Xu Xuan is here!
Chen Qun is here...
In a short period of time, celebrities from the north came to Jiangdong one by one, which made the Jiangdong nobles feel a little scared.
The envoys sent by Yizhou were also very famous. Huang Quan, one of the four great families in Sichuan, was also famous. In comparison, Liu Bei's envoys seemed a little less famous. Zhuge Liang was only thirty years old.
Although the young man has a prominent position in Liu Bei's account, compared with Xun Yan, Zhong Yao and others, he is obviously on a lower level. Naturally, the reception he receives is not as good as others...
Wujun became a place where heroes gathered.
Conspiracies one after another, arguments one after another. Although there is no light or shadow of swords, the murderous intention hidden behind them is still better than fighting on the battlefield.
Sun Quan was harassed by envoys from all sides and had a headache.
Night fell quietly, and Sun Quan returned to his mansion.
He sat on a large, newly made chair and tapped his forehead gently.
Different from the historical Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's expedition to Jingchu did not reveal his ambitions for Jiangdong. On the contrary, Cao Cao showed enough goodwill, and he granted officials and titles, and rewarded gold and silver, not to mention
Sun Quan was flattered by the proposal for marriage.
Likewise, it is precisely for this reason that Jiangdong is relatively stable.
The generals did not have that sense of crisis, and the civil servants did not talk about surrender. Both sides behaved very calmly, mostly observing from the sidelines and observing the changes in the situation. Of course, the Jiangdong nobles represented by Zhang Zhao seemed to be more inclined
Cao Cao hoped that Sun Quan could live in peace with the Cao family instead of getting into a tense situation. The generals, mainly veterans such as Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, still insisted on joining forces with Liu to fight against Cao, but they did not form the formation with Zhang Zhao and others like in history.
Opposition. Their reasons are very clear: the lips are dead and the teeth are cold...
However, facing the threat of Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops, Cheng Pu and others did not dare to make it clear that they would send troops to assist Liu Bei.
After all, Cao Cao did not say that he would attack Jiangdong. Even when faced with Jiangdong's provocation, Cao Cao ordered his navy to retreat and maintain sufficient restraint. If under such circumstances, Sun Quan insisted on sending troops, he would have to face more than just Cao Cao.
Revenge, and the backlash from the Jiangdong gentry.
There are many aristocratic families in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although they have not yet formed the clan structure of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they still occupy a decisive position in politics.
Most of Jiangdong believed that they should stick to Jiangdong and support Liu Bei conditionally.
But when it comes to sending troops to help with great fanfare, no one agrees.
Sun Quan was also undecided. After being so upset during the day, he returned to the mansion and still felt the inexplicable pressure...
"My lord, Mr. Motor wants to see you."
"Ah, please quickly!"
Sun Quan hurriedly stood up and gave orders. After a while, he saw a man in black walking into the hall. The man looked like a hawk looking at the wolf, his cheeks were thin and angular, and he showed a look of fortitude. It was just that
His face was covered with scars, making people afraid to look at it. He stepped forward and saluted, "Ma Da has disturbed me late at night. I hope you will forgive me, my lord."
"Zhong Zixi, please be polite. Please sit down quickly."
This Ma Da is older than Sun Quan, about thirty years old.
When he spoke, he had a strong Hanoi accent, which showed that he came from the north.
Zhongzi is his cousin.
As for its meaning, no one knows.
This person started out in Yuzhang and was recommended by Gu Yong, the prefect of Yuzhang. Although he is not very old, he is calm, capable, and quick-thinking. At the same time, he is also very low-key and rarely expresses his ideas in front of others. So that most people
Sometimes, people will ignore the existence of this person.
But to Sun Quan, Mr. Ma Zhongzi had a great mind and was an extraordinary figure.
"My lord, are you still worried about Cao Liu?"
"Um!"
Sun Quan patted his forehead lightly and said with a wry smile: "Zi Jing Ziyu insisted on sending troops to assist Liu Bei. He said that if Liu Bei died, Jiangdong would be in danger. However, Zibu and others said that Cao Cao was entrusted by the emperor to order the princes, and what he did was...
There is no fault. Now he is attacking Jingchu in the name of great righteousness, without peeking at Jiangdong. If troops are sent out at this time, Jiangdong will not act in the name of great righteousness, and will bring huge disasters.
I also understand Zijing Ziyu’s thoughts, and I am also determined to send troops.
But the soldiers and horses east of the Yangtze River are better at water warfare... The land of Jingchu is densely covered with mountains and rivers. If you rashly land to fight, you will get into trouble if you don't do it right.
Zhongzi, what do you think?"
Sun Quan was a very decisive person and rarely showed such embarrassment in front of others.
It's not that he didn't know Cao Cao's plan, but he couldn't find a suitable solution. Cao Cao didn't conflict with him at all, and even tended to retreat. If Cao Cao's troops did not enter Jiangdong, Sun Quan would not be able to find him.
A suitable excuse.
At the same time, Sun Quan is also very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses.
If it is a water battle, he may not be afraid of Cao Cao. But once a land battle occurs, the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong will not only have a numerical disadvantage, but they will also be unable to compare with the northern army's majestic victory over Youzhou and their high morale. In this case,
Should he send troops or not?
Sending troops may not be useful.
If you don't send troops, you will die sooner or later.
This is why Sun Quan is confused...
Ma Da laughed, with a hint of weirdness in his laughter.
"When Da was in Yuzhang, he once heard that when Sun Kuaiji was about to leave an orphan on his deathbed, he said, 'Ask Zhang Zhao if you are not sure about domestic affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you are not sure about foreign affairs.' Now it is difficult for the Marquis of Wu to make a decision, so why not send someone to ask Governor Zhou for advice? He is in charge of Jiangdong.
The navy must know the depth of this best."
"this……"
Sun Quan showed hesitation.
He had actually thought of Zhou Yu for a long time, but he couldn't decide whether he should send someone to inquire.
Zhou Yu was close to Sun Ce. Remember, it was Sun Ce, not the Sun family. He and Sun Ce were close friends, and they worked together and fought side by side. They had high prestige in Jiangdong. Sun Quan took over from Sun Ce.
However, Sun Ce also had a son. Moreover, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were brothers-in-law, which inevitably caused a gap between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan.
Sun Shao grew up day by day, and gradually became like his father.
Although Sun Ce has been dead for nearly ten years, and Sun Quan's position has become increasingly stable, Sun Ce's influence cannot be ignored...
Especially the old generals like Cheng Pu, whenever they mention Sun Ce, they always feel nostalgic.
This is also one of the main reasons why Sun Quan firmly imprisoned Sun Shao in Fuchun. Sun Quan certainly does not want his position to be taken away by Sun Shao one day. Sun Shao is his father Yu Yin, and Jiangdong has a backer like Zhou Yu. After all,
It is a big threat to Sun Quan. Originally, Sun Shao had been gradually forgotten under Sun Quan's suppression. But he didn't expect Cao Cao to suddenly come to Jiangdong to marry his daughter to Sun Shao!
This made Sun Quan immediately nervous.
At the same time, Sun Shao, who had been suppressed for eight years, once again appeared in everyone's sight.
Sun Quan was a very sinister man, and his methods were extremely ruthless. The marriage between Lu Xun and the Gu family made Sun Ce quite nervous. It was Sun Quan who took the initiative and tried to poison the Gu family's daughter, and through Lu Xun's cousin Lu Wan, he instigated
The relationship between the Gu and Lu families destroyed the connection between the Jiangdong nobles. Unexpectedly, when the work was completed, it was accidentally destroyed by Cao Peng. Later, it was the Gu and Lu families who handed over their private soldiers, which made Sun Quan calm down.
.However, from this we can see that Sun Quan is a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
If Sun Shao was not noticed by the world, Sun Quan would not mind trying to get rid of Sun Shao.
But it was precisely because of his soft-heartedness back then that it became extremely difficult for him to take action now. Now Sun Shao is not only paid attention to by the Jiangdong nobles, but also by veterans such as Cheng Pu. At the same time, Wu Guotai went to Fuchun and also
To a large extent, Sun Quan did not dare to act rashly.
Zhou Yu...Zhou Yu!
Sun Quan hesitated for a long time, "In that case, please trouble Zhongzi and go to Chaisang."
"This is a matter of duty."
"Zhongzi, you said that Cao Cao requested a marriage, should I agree?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Ma Da's eyes, "Wu Hou, why do you refuse?"
"this……"
Ma Da smiled and said: "Sun Shao is the son of Sun Kuaiji, and more importantly, the son of Wu Hou. Now is the critical moment in Jiangdong, and it is also the time when he is serving the Sun family and sharing the worries of Wu Hou. Da believes that the world today is composed of all heroes.
The beginning is quite similar to that of the Warring States Period. Why doesn't Marquis Wu ask Mr. Shao to go to Xudu to get married? In this way, he can express his position to Cao Cao and gain more time to prepare."
Send Sun Shao to Xudu?
Sun Quan's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at the motor and suddenly smiled.
It is better to say that it is a marriage than a pledge. In this way, Sun Shao's departure from Jiangdong will further weaken Sun Ce's influence. At the same time, for Sun Quan, it is equivalent to solving a personal problem. Cheng Pu and the others
Even if they want to support Sun Shao, how can they support him? Is it possible that they will go to Xudu? Without Sun Shao, Sun Quan's position will be more stable.
"What Zhongzi said is absolutely true."
Sun Quan expressed his approval with a look of joy on his face.
"But, how should Liu Bei solve it?"
If Zhou Yu wants to send troops, should I agree?
Ma Da smiled and said: "It's inappropriate to say too much about my lord's decision. But it doesn't matter whether we send troops or not. What's important is how our lord should seek more benefits from this matter. Although Liu Bei said that he wanted to leave Guiyang
.But Liu Bei cannot decide Guiyang. Although he has occupied Changsha, his foundation is not stable. If the lord wants to win Guiyang, it is best to have a famous teacher... I wonder what the lord thinks?"
Motor said goodbye and left!
But Sun Quan no longer felt sleepy at all.
From Ma Da's words, he heard a hint of mystery.
If you want to get Guiyang justifiably, you will be in an invincible position regardless of Liu Bei's victory or defeat.
He can secretly help Liu Bei resist Cao Cao through Guiyang. At the same time, he can strengthen Jiangdong's strength to prevent Cao Cao's future conquests.
Ma Da disapproves of sending troops!
But he agreed and gave Liu Bei a certain amount of help, allowing Liu Bei to contain Cao Cao's troops...
Well, that should be the meaning! The meaning hidden in Ma Da's words just now should be roughly like this.
However, how to proceed requires a more detailed plan.
Sun Quan closed his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly got up and walked out of the bedroom.
"Someone is coming!"
"Here!"
"Please come here Zijing. I have something important to discuss with you."
