Chapter 932 Sun Quan arrives and sends troops to Luoyang
Three days passed in a flash, and today it was the day when the three generals Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Ran Min led the army to the Jiangdu Empire.
Outside Nagawa Castle.
On the pier, hundreds of warships are moored, and mist lingers on the sea in the distance. The sea and sky meet, just like an ink painting, making people immersed in it.
A gentle breeze blew by, the flags were ringing, and the soldiers began to board the ship. The scene was grand and the momentum was overwhelming. Two hundred thousand troops and food, grass and baggage were boarded one after another.
Shangguan Wan'er, Long Jin, and Hou Cheng standing on the dock were extremely shocked. The Chu army's military quality and marching speed were beyond the reach of the Jiangdu Empire. With such a powerful army, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel happy for her choice, because she felt that Chu
The army was stronger than the enemy troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Think about this.
A wry smile appeared on her face, as if she was laughing at herself, but also seemed to be rejoicing for the Jiangdu Empire.
The waves continued to hit the shore, and the warship left the pier, sailed away against the wind and waves, and slowly disappeared on the vast sea.
The army headed for the Jiangdu Empire, and another group of people came to the Unnamed Island. At this time, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and Sun Quan walked towards the mansion where the Chu Emperor lived.
"Your Majesty, King Jin of the Soochow Empire wishes to see you!"
Zhang Liang entered the study and spoke loudly. Emperor Chu put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head and looked outside.
He had received the news three days ago that Sun Quan was coming. He left Nanlong City that day, and five months had passed. Zhuge Liang had already passed the news of Sun Jian's sudden death in the palace to Emperor Chu, so he was not prepared for Sun Quan's arrival.
He knew exactly what was happening.
Emperor Chu stood up and walked out of the study. Before he left the house, he saw Zhao Yun and the second general Lu Bu arriving with Sun Quan.
"Sun Quan, pay your respects to Emperor Chu!"
"The King of Jin does not need to be polite, but after seeing each other for five months, he thinks things are right and people are different!"
Emperor Chu raised his hand to signal Sun Quan to enter the study. After they sat down one after another, Sun Quan said, "I have come here to ask you something. I hope Emperor Chu can grant it."
"Prince Jin, there is no need to say more. I already know what you are here for."
"You just left Ping'an City three days ago. I have ordered the four generals under my command to lead troops to Soochow. Cao Cao is raising troops to Soochow. How can I let him succeed?"
Emperor Chu's hearty voice sounded, and Sun Quan's expression became condensed. He didn't know how to speak for a moment. He didn't expect Emperor Chu to send troops to Soochow so readily. Is it because of past friendship or Emperor Chu had already made arrangements? Sun Quan couldn't help but think to himself.
.
"Thank you to Emperor Chu for sending troops to help me in Soochow. If Cao Cao's thieves retreat, Soochow will definitely thank Emperor Chu again!"
"The King of Jin does not have to do this. In the past, when the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded Beihai, if the King of Jin and the Crown Prince had not sent troops to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty, all of Sakura County would have fallen into Cao Cao's hands."
"The thief Cao has ambitions for the world. How can he lay eggs even if his nest is overthrown? Now I am sending troops to help Soochow conquer Wei. It seems that I am helping you, but in fact I am also helping myself."
Emperor Chu's firm voice sounded, and he suddenly stood up, turned around and stared at the geographical map behind him, "Would Prince Jin be interested in studying the map of this fifth-grade empire with me?"
............
Emperor Chu and Sun Quan stayed in the study for a whole day until dusk. Emperor Chu ordered to summon all the generals Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Luo Shixin, Zhang Shun and Sun Shangxiang.
When the generals came, the atmosphere in the study was solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy. Emperor Chu signaled the generals to take their seats.
"Cao Cao's troops were divided into four groups and launched attacks on the four kingdoms of Jiangdu, Dongwu, Beiyan, and Xichen. The Northern Wei Dynasty was only a fifth-level empire. How could such a strong army be obtained? I predict that there are not many troops hidden in Luoyang City, the imperial capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
, so I decided to send troops to attack Luoyang."
"Invasion of Luoyang?"
The generals looked excited, with a strong fighting spirit lingering in their bodies. After three months on the Unnamed Island, they had already become itchy. If they didn't go out to stretch their muscles, they might not even know how to use the weapons in their hands.
"The last general Lu Bu is willing to be the vanguard and lead the army to attack the imperial capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty!"
"The last general, Zhao Yun, is willing to be the vanguard and capture Luoyang City for my emperor!"
Zhao Yun and Lu Bu stood up one after another, raised their fists and saluted, trying to seize the vanguard position first. Emperor Chu looked up at the two generals, chuckled, and motioned for them to sit down.
"I have sent orders to the six generals Chu Ya, Su Lie, Pang De, Li Yuanba, Shi Wansui, and Yuwen Chengdu to lead the army first. All you need to do is follow me and lead the soldiers to the Northern Wei Empire."
After Shangguan Wan'er left Wuming Island, that night Emperor Chu discussed with Zhang Liang the strategy of attacking the Northern Wei Empire.
In order to take a pre-emptive strike, Emperor Chu wrote a book and told Zhuge Liang that as soon as Dongwu came, he would immediately divide his troops into two groups to attack the Northern Wei Empire.
Emperor Chu originally thought that Soochow would send Lu Su or others, but he did not expect that Sun Quan would arrive. This was perfect for his plan, so he took Sun Quan with him to Luoyang City, the imperial capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
For thousands of years, Luoyang has been a battleground for military strategists and has the reputation of "the residence of Emperor Xiaohan and the Kingdom of Heluo".
Luoyang City is surrounded by Mang Mountain to the north, Yique to the south, the Luoshui River running through it, Hulao Pass to the east, and Hangu Pass to the west. It is surrounded by mountains and lined with majestic passes, so it has the title of "Eight Pass City" and "Mountains and Rivers Connected by Mountains and Rivers"
, the situation is the best in the world".
Moreover, it occupies "the center of the world", "pressing the Jianghuai River to the east, holding Guanlong to the west, connecting Youyan to the north, and connecting Jingxiang to the south". It is known as "the convergence of all directions", "the hinterland of Kyushu", and "the thoroughfare of ten provinces". Therefore, all dynasties and dynasties
They are all must-win places for the princes and heroes to compete for the emperor in the Central Plains.
Emperor Chu inspected the city of Luoyang on the War Continent, and found that it was roughly consistent with history. The only difference was that it was adjacent to the East China Sea in the north.
At present, Cao Cao's Northern Wei Empire occupies all the advantages outside Luoyang City. It must be said that the Northern Wei Imperial City made even Chu Emperor very tempted.
If we take Luoyang directly, we can take control of the north of the East China Sea, which will completely open up a new situation for the Chu State, and will be one step closer to a high-level empire, so it is imperative to send troops to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"The generals heard the order and went down immediately to prepare. The army will set off at dawn tomorrow and approach Qishan Mountain!"
The Emperor of Chu pointed his sword at Luoyang, and the generals were filled with excitement. Hearing the words, they all stood up, raised their fists and saluted, and strode outside the study room.
"Zifang, I will leave Wuming Island to you. Kong Ming will send Qiu Feng and Gong Jin to guard it. You only need to be responsible for daily affairs."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. When the army returns in triumph, I will let you see a different Unnamed Island."
Emperor Chu nodded gently, glanced sideways at Sun Quan, and said with a chuckle: "King Jin, go down and rest early, and you will set off with me tomorrow."
Before we knew it, the morning dew was blowing in the morning wind, and the chill hit us. The sea tide was rising, and the white fish belly gradually appeared in the east.
The sky was filled with mist on the Nameless Island, and bursts of people and horses neighing could be heard. I saw that the generals had begun to count their troops. In addition to the dragon boats, there were ten warships moored on the pier. In the thick fog, they seemed to come from the deep sea.
Like a sea monster, it looks ferocious and terrifying.
Under the slightly cold morning breeze, white horse Yi Cong, Iron Eagle Rui Shi, and Yan Yun Eighteen Riders boarded the dragon boat, and other generals began to board other warships one after another.
On the dock.
Emperor Chu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, and Luo Shixin were all wearing military uniforms, and their strong murderous aura moved with the wind and floated over the East China Sea.
