When asked by Sun Quan, Zheng Pu quickly responded modestly, "However, as your Majesty said, Han and Wu are working together to defeat Wei, and foreign ministers dare not refuse. Therefore, with some superficial opinions, I hope that we can do something
Wu Guo benefited."
Without waiting for Sun Quan to say good things, he continued, "Foreign officials secretly believe that given the current situation in Jiangdong, your Majesty wants to invade Huaiyou, so he should first send troops to Jingxiang."
Um.
Nodding gently, Sun Quan stroked his beard with a smile and continued to listen with bated breath.
To make false claims in the east and attack in the west is to hide the truth from the sky.
Jiangdong's attacks on Wei in recent years were almost always carried out by the Huaiyou and Jingxiang forces. He was no stranger to this.
But soon, Zheng Pu's next words made his eyes suddenly filled with confusion.
say:
"When the troops were deployed in Jingxiang, the foreign ministers thought that Your Majesty could leave the crown prince of your country to guard Jianye in the capital. He stationed all the elite troops in Huainan in Wuchang and attacked them frequently to show his determination not to return the army unless Jiangxia was broken. The troops in Jingnan of your country were
, and also frequently harassed Xiangyang and Zhongzhong. In this way, it may take three years or five years. The garrison in Hefei and Shouchun of the Wei Dynasty will inevitably be lax. Your Majesty, with the sharpness of the navy, will attack from Wuchang to Hefei day and night.
Break it!"
This Scar Pu kid actually wants to harm Jiangdong and benefit Bashu!
After hearing this, Sun Quan suddenly had this thought in his mind.
This is not surprising either.
Because if Zheng Pu's plan is followed, Wei will inevitably increase its troops in Jingxiang and fight against Jiangdong.
In order to avoid fighting on two fronts, Wei's Guanzhong army would not send all its strength out of Longyou or Liangzhou, giving the Han people time to recuperate.
However, after he suppressed the doubts in his chest and belly and pondered carefully, he felt that what Zheng Pu said was not unreasonable.
Because of the alliance between Han and Wu, if all the main forces in Jiangdong are deployed in Jingxiang and hold on to Jingxiang for three to five years, Wei will also think that the two countries are supporting each other in fighting, and then in deploying troops, there will be a weak Huaiyou and a heavy emphasis on Jing.
Xiang's move. And he doesn't need to worry. After all the main forces are stationed in Wuchang, the Wei Dynasty will covet Jianye.
After the Battle of Shiting, Wei lost the ability to cross the natural dangers of the river.
However, what made him difficult to judge was that just for an unexpected opportunity, rather than a sure way to go to Huaiyou, Jiangdong had to waste countless supplies of food and fodder, and launched troops to attack Jingxiang year after year. Is it really advisable?
If the insidious attack fails to reach Hefei by then, wouldn't it harm Wu's national power and benefit the Han court?
call.
Taking a breath of relief, Sun Quan, who had suppressed his thoughts, raised a cup to invite him to drink, and said with a smile, "Zheng Qing certainly lives up to his reputation as a cunning planner and good judgement. However, unless I don't want to do it, our Jiangdong national strength will not be able to do it."
A protracted attack. Three to five years may be too long."
"Three to five years, how long is it?"
Zheng Pu, who put down his wine cup, raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Your Majesty, I don't see you. Since I, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, opened the government to govern affairs, I have been in seclusion for more than six years. I have made Yongliang and Wei Dynasty defenseless, so I can conquer Longyou in a battle!"
After saying this, without waiting for Sun Quan to reply, he began to talk eloquently.
"First, since His Majesty moved the capital and founded the country, everyone in the Wei Dynasty has been fully aware of Jiangdong's strategy, so he first went to Huaiyou and then Jingxiang! If there was no period of three to five years, how could they have been deceived?"
"Secondly, if Hefei and Shouchun are destroyed, the two states of Qingxu are in sight. Cao Mengde of the Wei Dynasty had previously caused many killings, which made it difficult for the people of Qingxu to attach themselves to them. In addition, many people who used to stay in Jiangdong came to these two states. Your Majesty
If the other generals leave, it will be difficult to send a message, but it will not be difficult to recapture them!"
"As the Qing Xu Ruo descends, your country's military front is directed towards the heart of the Central Plains. Yuzhou, Yanzhou and others have no geographical advantage or strong cities to defend. The only way to counter the Wei Dynasty is to garrison heavy troops layer by layer. By then, our country, which has been accumulating strength for several years, will
We can also send troops to Guanzhong. Although Wei Wei is strong and powerful, how many troops can An An have to defend Jingxiang?"
"If Your Majesty sends a good general to supervise the partial army and march out of the Dongfeishui River to attack Yuzhou, and then sends tens of thousands of elites up the Mian River (Han River) to drive across the Wei reinforcements between Xiangyang and Fancheng, it can be said that Jiangxia
Xiangyang and other places are all in His Majesty’s pocket!”
"One battle can expand thousands of miles of fertile land and reach several states. It can also make the wealthy families in Jiangdong willing to fight tooth and nail. The benefits are so great, but it only takes three to five years of hard work. What a waste!"
"Again, Your Majesty has visited the battle many times, and you also know that Hefei Shouchun is a strong city. Although there are not many soldiers and horses guarding it, it will not be a day's work if you take it out. Therefore, if you want to succeed in the secret attack, you must first stop the rebel Wei.
Reinforcements, the determination to hold on to the city."
"On the contrary, the Wei Dynasty had many cavalry, and they were all elite. In the past, Jingbei changed its masters. In the rebellion of the Wei Dynasty, General Cao Mengde rode 5,000 horses to pursue the late emperor of our country. He traveled more than 300 miles in a day and night! From Luoyang to Hefei, the terrain was as flat as a horse, and in the rebellion of the Wei Dynasty, if
I heard that Huaiyou is in an urgent situation, so we can use cavalry to help us, and we can reach them at a snail's pace. If Your Majesty wants to cut off the reinforcements, the infantry will not be able to drive for a long time, and the only way is to defeat the cavalry's ears with cavalry!"
"Therefore, the period of three to five years mentioned by foreign ministers is not only the reason for the relaxation of Wei Wei's defense, but also the time for Rao Jiangdong to build cavalry! The riders can be made in one year, and can be conquered in two years. Three or five years
They can be called elite. If your Majesty recruits two or three thousand ferocious men as cavalry and pawns, selects good generals as governors, and hides them in Wu County to practice martial arts. After two or three years, he will go into battle and ambush the tired troops who have rushed thousands of miles away from Wei.
The saying 'Southern boats and northern horses' is no longer true!"
"Your Majesty, the foreign ministers thought that the danger of the river would be beneficial to the Jiangdong foundation. However, if we send our troops out of the Central Plains, it would also be a disadvantage! Moreover, we should go against the Wei Dynasty to occupy the most sacred land in the world, with a prosperous population, which cannot be planned by the two countries of Han and Wu.
.If Your Majesty does not seize the opportunity to seize the land of Huaiyou while our country regains Liangzhou and all the rebel Wei armies gather in Guanzhong, I fear that it will be difficult to expand the territory east of the Yangtze River in the future!"
Having said this, Zheng Pu left the table to make a ceremony and said with emotion.
"The foreign minister said that although he wanted to send troops from Jiangdong to alleviate the difficulties of our country's defense, he also advised your majesty to purchase war horses to alleviate our country's shortage of food and fodder. However, this plan is not for the benefit of your country! I hope your majesty will self-examine.
If your Majesty has any doubts, the foreign minister will say nothing."
"Boom!"
Sun Quan, who had long heard that he was hesitant in his ambition, suddenly stood up and said with high spirits, "Why did Zheng Qing say such a thing? You have come from a thousand miles away to plan for me a foundation for eternity. I have no doubts about my intention to fight."
evil!"
Nai stepped forward, held Zheng Pu's hand and stroked his back, saying Yin Yin, "I have absolutely no doubts about you, and I hope you will also doubt me."
After saying this, he invited Zheng Pu to his seat again and poured a glass of wine to thank him for his plan for the state of Wu.
Afterwards, Gu Li was asked to find pens, inks and other materials, and he wrote and inked himself, recording all the words he had just heard in the book one by one.
When he was about to record the book, after repeatedly confirming it, he raised his head, still holding the pen, and said with a smile, "I would like to ask Zheng Qing to continue the plot of attacking Hefei Shouchun. I will not say any more. I will only write in writing to support the recorded words."
Ear!"
However, when Zheng Pu responded again, he was still holding his pen and his eyes were filled with tears.
Gein Zheng Pu replied:
"Foreign ministers have heard that a thousand-jawed crossbow will not strike with a mouse, and a thousand-stone bell will not strike with a stick. Therefore, if one day the defense against Wei and Huaiyou is lax, and Jiangdong gains time to attack it, the foreign minister will think that your majesty
It’s not appropriate to go into battle in person.”
