Sun Quan and the important officials who sent out the army are here.
There is no longer the mingling of wine, chatting and banquets at the end of the year. Instead, we are talking to each other in silence, taking care of ourselves and pouring our own wine.
Even the charming and comfortable April day in the world seems to not dare to disturb the gloom and gloom here, so it quietly disappears into the continuous summer rain.
Among them, Pan Jun, who had almost lost his troops and horses, although his face was dull and showed no emotion, he kept drinking, which made it easy to know that he was worried.
This time, he gathered all the tribes in Jingnan to invite themselves to participate in the war, intending to take advantage of this battle to expand the influence of Jingzhou scholars in Wu State. Sun Quan also praised him out of balance, and also expanded the opportunities for his tribesmen to interact with him - - According to the practice of Jiangdong's military system, after suppressing rebellion, recruiting soldiers and taking captives, the general can select a certain proportion of young men to supplement his subordinates.
However, who would have expected that after the rebel Wei general deployed his army in the northwest, the Wuhuan Cavalry, which had been extinct for many years, would still be hidden?
For Pan Jun, the loss of troops and horses was the second most important thing, because Sun Quan would also issue an edict in the future asking him to recruit more troops from Jingnan counties to supplement them. What is frightening is that after this battle, the Jingzhou scholars who gathered together would no longer He is the leader.
The social custom of letting people be their relatives and having their clansmen and brothers fight together caused numerous casualties among the relatives of the Jingzhou scholars. How could they not resent Pan Jun who encouraged them to send troops?
As for Sun Quan, he was also worried about Jingnan's future stability.
Since Sun Ce, Jiangdong has often used troops against Jingnan to avenge Sun Jian.
The continuous wars caused countless people to be devastated, and this also caused countless Wuyue and Jingchu soldiers to have constant quarrels with each other because of the death of their fathers and brothers in the battle.
Even after he took advantage of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition to launch a sneak attack and captured Jingnan and merged it with Jiangdong, the situation did not improve much.
There were numerous rebellions in Jingnan before, and this was one of the reasons.
Pan Jun is the person he relies on to appease Jingnan, but after this defeat, his prestige has been greatly lost, and he may not be able to appease people's hearts in the future!
well.
The only plan for now is to think about how to replenish Pan Jun's troops, and transfer Lu Dai to Jingnan to join forces with him to see if they can help him stabilize the place.
Or should we say, support another person to take his place?
Sun Quan, who was also impatient, secretly considered maintaining stability in the future.
As for the previous ambition of destroying Shouchun in Hefei and completely occupying Huaiyou and advancing to Tuqingxu, we should suppress it for the time being.
There are countless soldiers missing, and the soldiers and common people are all in panic. How can we talk about opening up new territories at this time?
However, he stopped thinking about it for the time being, but Lu Xun, who was on the right side, was already thinking about the troops and horses in Jiangdong that could be mobilized, how much food, fodder and baggage could be mobilized, etc., and was secretly planning and deducing the war.
There was silence for a while.
When everyone was still drinking wine to drown their sorrows in silence, Lu Xun suddenly raised a cup to Sun Quan and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, I secretly believe that the time has come!"
When has the time come?
Hearing this, everyone who was immersed in gloom and gloom all looked stunned for a moment.
After a while, they realized that it was the time to attack Huaiyou, and they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in their hearts.
Without him, Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin's troops were the only ones who hardly fought in front of the battle, and there were almost no casualties among the soldiers.
Especially in accordance with the previously unspoken agreement, once Sun Wu fully occupied Huaiyou, Sun Quan would grant all the power in the newly acquired Jiangbei land to the wealthy families in Wu.
Isn’t it possible that others are working hard while others sit back and enjoy the success?
However, the deployment of the troops this time was the result of the collective efforts of everyone. Even if they returned in defeat, they could not blame them.
"Bo Yan's meaning is that the defense generals on the right side of Wei and Huaihe are lax?"
Sun Quan was slightly stunned for a while, his eyes suddenly burned, and he asked a question hesitantly.
Indeed, according to Zheng Pu's previous strategy, as long as Jiangdong continuously attacks the Jingxiang front and loses tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the rebellion against Wei will inevitably make the Huaiyou front less defensive. Because of Jiangdong's national strength, such a loss of soldiers will
Everyone, except for the achievements of six or seven years, the devastation of the war will not be alleviated, and it will never come back to invade Huaiyou.
However, after Sun Quan asked the question, he looked troubled and said regretfully, "Although I don't want to refute Boyan's words, I went against the Wei Dynasty and established Wuhuan's sudden cavalry. Even if Hefei Shouchun's defense was lax, I had the opportunity to make a surprise attack in Jiangdong."
, I’m afraid it will be difficult to contain the reinforcements! Boyan also knows that our Jiangdong cavalry has just been established for a few years, and its combat strength is really not as good as that of the counter-wei!"
The boat in the south and the horse in the north.
The south of the Yangtze River is densely covered with water and swamps. When Jiangdong was dominated by the navy, it also lacked many soldiers who were skilled in bow and horse. If you want to build a cavalry, the soldiers must start from the most basic riding training.
However, the combat effectiveness of cavalry that has been trained for many years can be imagined.
Not to mention fighting against the Wuhuan cavalry, which has the reputation of "famous cavalry in the world", any cavalry from Wei or Han can wipe out the new cavalry in Jiangdong.
"I cannot agree with your Majesty's words."
But Lu Xun immediately retorted, saying with certainty, "I dare to assert that after this battle, the rebels who rebel against Wei will definitely transfer the Wuhuan Tuqi to Hexi!"
Um?
After hearing this, Sun Quan's eyes once again lit up with joy.
He was not an unintelligent person, so he understood the reason after being awakened by Lu Xun.
Since the Han troops left Longyou and the Battle of Shiting, the Wei Dynasty focused their conquests on the northwest and adopted a defense-focused strategy for Jiangdong. Not only was it difficult to fight on two fronts, but also because the Han and Wei Dynasties were
Enemies of life and death fighting for destiny.
This time Jiangdong lost countless soldiers. In the eyes of Cao Rui of Wei State, it was no longer a serious problem and he would also transfer the Wuhuan Tuqi to the northwest to fight against the Han Dynasty.
After all, cavalry can play a greater role in the north.
And once Wuhuan's sudden cavalry moves to the northwest, Jiangdong's chances of winning the secret attack will no longer be hindered.
Sun Quan, who had been thinking about it for a moment, immediately stood up, raised his lamp and shouted indignantly, "If it is as predicted by Bo's words, even if I eat vegetarian food and stop drinking and enjoying myself, I will still raise enough food and supplies for the soldiers, but please ask
I wish you all the humiliation of this defeat!"
It also led everyone to stand up and echo, "I dare you to die if you don't obey me!"
Because I know the elegant meaning after hearing the string song.
The implicit promise in Sun Quan's words was to use national strength to compensate for their losses.
However, the difference is that some people benefit more and some benefit less.
And is Wei Guo as Lu Xun asserted?
The emperor of Wei, Cao Rui, followed the rules and rewarded the soldiers for their merits, and then supervised the troops to return to Luoyang.
When passing through Runan County, under the protection of Yulin Guards, he made a special trip to Ancheng to meet with Man Chong for a night. No one knew what was discussed, but people vaguely guessed it through subsequent arrangements.
If Manchong was transferred to Taiwei, he still stationed troops in Ancheng, Runan.
The Wuhuan Tuqi, commanded by Qian Hong and Xia Houxian, stayed in Yuzhou to recuperate for half a month, and then rushed to Guanzhong to temporarily return to Sima Yi's control: this was to make up for the lack of Wei cavalry advantage at the Manyin City Fortress.
In addition, Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, was transferred to General Zhendong, and Sun Li, the minister, was transferred to the governor of Yangzhou.
In other words, the Wei State felt that after this great defeat in the east of the Yangtze River, there would be no more trouble in a short period of time, so it planned to devote all its strength to the northwest.
