The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"This..." They are all smart people. What Sun Quan said is the truth. Without powerful warships, no matter how many small boats are built, they will be sent out as cannon fodder. They cannot compete with Liu Bei's navy at all.

"My lord, the governor of the capital has been attacking for a long time without success, and he is quite useless. Why not withdraw the troops? My lord can use this as a bargaining chip to let Liu Bei send warships. If you can get the skill of making warships, it will be the best strategy." Zhang Zhao made a suggestion, making Sun Quan's eyes roll Liang, this is indeed a good idea.

"Now that Liu Bei is besieged on all sides, if he can get the governor to withdraw his army, he should answer the request of the lord. If he doesn't agree, the lord just pretends to have served in Xuzhou and played the banner of revenge for the navy. How dare Liu Bei not allow it?" Zhang Hong also offered advice.

"Very good!" Sun Quan was overjoyed after hearing this, and he wanted to send people to Linzi to negotiate with Liu Bei. As long as he could rebuild the navy and protect the Jiangdong waters, he could continue to expand southward with peace of mind.

"My lord, the governor of the capital sent a messenger to deliver the letter." Sun Quan, who was on Zhengxing's head, immediately turned pale when he heard the letter. After reading Zhou Yu's letter indifferently, he sighed secretly, and did not want to send someone to Linzi anymore. Regarding the matter, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were left to discuss alone.

"The governor's letter said that Liu Bei sent his prime minister, Chen Ziming, to attack Cao Cao's food road unexpectedly after receiving a secret report, which blocked Cao Cao's northern expedition. Zhou Yu and other places, and Liu Bei mobilized food and grass from all walks of life, it is very likely that he will attack Cao Cao in the front, let me make plans early." Sun Quan simply told Er Zhang what Zhou Yu said in the letter, and wanted to see what Er Zhang had. What opinion.

"I don't want Liu Bei to recover so quickly, Jiangdong is in danger." Zhang Hong originally thought that after this battle, Liu Bei would definitely be defeated by Cao Cao.

"My lord, a few days ago, although Liu Bei was passive, his strength was still there, and he was not damaged at all. At this time, there is enough food and grass, and Cao Cao is his opponent. If Liu Bei destroys Cao, Liu Bei's family will be the only one in the north. Only Jiangdong soldiers I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop Liu Bei's army of millions." Zhang Zhao's voice was low, and it could be seen that he was not very optimistic about the current situation.

"What should I do with Jiangdong?" Sun Quan looked at Erzhang, hoping to get a strategy that would be beneficial to Jiangdong, instead of listening to Erzhang's sad words here.

"This..." Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao didn't know what to say for a while. In fact, they all had an idea in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, because this idea was beneficial to their Jiangdong family, but it was absolutely necessary for Sun Quan. He and the Sun family are absolutely doomed, and this is also the way their family has passed down from generation to generation.

"The victory of Cao and Liu has not yet been decided. Why should the lord be in a hurry? It is better to rectify the army and wait for the changes." Finally, Zhang Hong came up with a plan to provide for the elderly and wait for death. Sun Quan waved his hands in disappointment and let the two leave.

"Between life and death, who can be trusted?" After everyone left, Sun Quan thought to himself. As the person in power in Jiangdong, he knew many things, but he was helpless. It depends on the faces of those big clans.

"Uncle, the governor sent you three strategies, how should I choose?" On the surface, Sun Quan trusts Erzhang very much, and discusses many things with Erzhang, but what many people don't know is that the one Sun Quan trusts the most is that he single-handedly promoted him. There are also a few veterans left behind by his father, such as Han Dang, who has always supported him.

For example, now, Sun Quan did not let Er Zhang know that Zhou Yu not only sent an analysis of the current world situation, but also mentioned his own views and strategies for Sun Quan.

"Liu Bei is powerful and has millions of mercenaries. He is invincible. We should avoid his edge. This plan is not an option."

"Cao Cao and Liu Bei are now fighting hard, and it is difficult to tell the winner. If Jiangdong attacks and wins Jingzhou, Cao Cao will definitely lose to Liu Bei because of the enemy. Liu Bei will rule the north, and Jiangdong is in danger, and it is not advisable."

"The road to Yizhou is difficult, but Liu Zhang is not the capital of a hero. He only owns such a good land. He should take it. Moreover, the army of Yizhou attacked Hanzhong and the rear was empty. If the young general took advantage of this opportunity and sent troops quickly, he would be defeated in one battle. , If you win Yizhou, you can let Jiangdong advance and attack, retreat and defend, and you will not be afraid of Cao and Liu."

Han Dang was loyal to the Sun family. Even if Sun Jian and Sun Ce died, he would still stick to the Sun family. When Sun Quan asked advice, he unreservedly supported Sun Quan.

"What my uncle said is true. The governor also supports me in capturing Yizhou. However, Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Who can take command?" Leading troops to attack Yizhou is not so easy, otherwise Liu Zhang would not live so long.

487章 孙权挂帅

"If you attack Yizhou, you must be the governor." Han Dang's tone was quite firm. In Jiangdong, only Zhou Yu had the ability to attack Yizhou. It was not because Han Dang looked down on other generals in Jiangdong, but because Yizhou was indeed difficult to attack.

"The governor sits in the south of the town, he can block Liu Bei, and he cannot move lightly, and the governor intends to join forces with Cao Cao to attack Liu Bei and take the land of Xuzhou..." Sun Quan was in a dilemma. In fact, he also wanted Zhou Yu to be in command, but Zhou Yu's prestige was too great Gao, if he is allowed to take Yizhou again, it will be unsealable, at least under his Sun Quan, there is no suitable position for Zhou Yu.

"In this case, only General Zhou Tai can do it." Zhou Tai, now Jiangdong's second commander, ranks second only to the governor Zhou Yu, and is also a top general who leads an army alone to attack South Vietnam and other places.

Moreover, Zhou Tai's current combat achievements are not bad. If Zhou Yu hadn't shown his sharpness and covered him up, Zhou Tai would have been famous all over the world. Han Dang praised Zhou Tai so much because Zhou Tai was indeed capable.

"The new arrival in the south requires a general to sit in charge, so how can we move lightly." Sun Quan shook his head again. The south is the place Sun Quan cares most about. From Sun Quan's point of view, Nanyue and other places are the way out of Jiangdong, and there must be no problems.

Now that most of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are hoarded in Nanyue and other places, it can be seen how much Sun Quan attaches importance to Nanyue. If Nanyue and other places did not hold back most of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, Sun Quan would not have sent a group of county soldiers to attack Xuzhou.

"This... Yizhou has natural dangers, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the rest of the generals..." What Sun Quan said is also true, but it is a bit difficult for Han Dang to find a commander, but there is no point. Ability cannot be called leadership.

"My late father was a soldier all his life, and my brother was also a man on horseback. As a son of the Sun family, I should show my father and brother's glory. In Yizhou, I will personally take command..." After searching for a long time, no one was able to make a move, and finally Sun Quan paid attention to the personal conquest.

Regardless of Han Dang's objection, the decision was made in this way. As for Han Dang, he was too old and senior. Support a 20-person army.

At the same time, [-] elite soldiers were sent to Zhou Yu to prevent Liu Bei from sending troops to Jiangdong, to restrain him from conquest of Yizhou, and to reorganize a [-] navy army above the Yangtze River to ensure the safety of Jiangdong.

"Sun Quan sent Zhang Hong here for peace talks, and he led a large army to attack Yizhou, and Jiangdong also has great talents." Linzi Palace, Liu Bei was anxious to discuss with everyone, and Chen Gong proposed the purpose of Sun Quan sending Zhang Hong here.

"Zi Ming is stable, and the lonely army does not have to go out at all. The battle with the Cao bandits can be postponed. Although Liu Zhang of Yizhou proclaims himself emperor, he is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, a clan of the Han family, and Sun Quan can touch him at will." Liu Bei Don't be angry and arrogant, with an unhappy face, Yizhou has long been planned by Chen Ziming, and now Chen Ziming is in Liangzhou, facing Cao Cao's 20 army alone, Sun Quan will pick the time, attacking Yizhou at this time, he He and Cao Cao couldn't make a move, and with Jiangdong's strength, it was difficult for Liu Zhanggen to stop him.

"Sun Quan personally threw troops to attack Yizhou. It seems that Jiangdong's determination has been made. Our army was restrained by Cao Cao's troops. Yizhou's army attacked Hanzhong. Even if we return to resist Jiangdong's army now, we will travel long distances and work hard. I'm afraid it's not from Jiangdong. The enemy." Chen Deng was very pessimistic about Yizhou.

"Sun Quan added [-] troops to Zhou Yu to guard against our Han soldiers. Cao Cao's soldiers were all restrained by the Han soldiers. At this time, Sun Quan's attack on Yizhou is really a good opportunity." Chen Gong frowned and thought hard, looking for a solution. It's a pity that Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who can contain Jiangdong, are not free.

"Yizhou must not fall into the hands of Sun Quan." Liu Bei didn't want Jiangdong to become bigger. Cao Cao was enough trouble. If Jiangdong got Yizhou again, the threat to him would be less than Cao Cao's.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm sure that Jiangdong's conquest of Yizhou will return in vain." At this time, a clear voice came, which made everyone look sideways. The person who spoke was Guo Jia, Liu Bei's top adviser.

"Where did Feng Xiao say that?" Liu Bei immediately became interested when he heard it, as he knew Guo Jia's abilities.

"Hehe." Guo Jia smiled slightly, and then said: "Yizhou is naturally dangerous, and it cannot be attacked unless it is a commander in chief, and it cannot be broken unless it is a person of high morals and prestige."

"Sun Quan's attack on Yizhou at this time is really a good opportunity, but he doesn't know who he employs, and he doesn't know how to break Yizhou."

"Looking at Jiangdong, Zhou Yu is the only one who can lead the army. However, Sun Quan is jealous of his high achievements, and he is very happy about his achievements. He personally threw troops. How did he conquer the dangerous place in Yizhou? Although Sun Quan was born as a general, he was not a general. Without the ability to lead an army, how can you command an army.”

"Besides, Sun Quan is a minister of Liu Zhang. Now he is attacking Liu Zhang. He is a repeated villain, unfaithful and unfilial. If Sun Quan enters Yizhou, he will be despised by the people of Yizhou and resist to the death. How to enter Yizhou."

"Furthermore, Cao Cao regarded Yizhou as his possession, so why did he allow Sun Quan to attack it? If Yizhou was in danger, Cao Cao would definitely let Jingzhou's soldiers cross the Yangtze River, cut off Sun Quan's retreat, and force Sun Quan to withdraw his troops."

"The ones who can take Yizhou are not His Majesty and Cao thief." Guo Jia's inference made Liu Bei and others think to themselves, it is true, Sun Quan did not have experience in leading troops, and he had never heard of Sun Quan leading troops.

Besides, Yizhou is not that weak, at least there are still many capable people around Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang has the support of all ethnic groups in Yizhou, so it is not something that Sun Quan can attack if he wants to.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan, no matter who gets Yizhou, he is qualified to challenge Liu Bei. How could Cao Cao give up Yizhou to Sun Quan? Don’t look at Cao Cao’s inability to send troops now, but as long as Liu Bei retreats a little bit, Cao Cao will Will understand what Liu Bei means.

The world is like this, watching Cao Cao and Liu Bei fight life and death, once it involves enough interests, it is a bit difficult for the two to shake hands and make peace, but it is still very common to let each other out.

"Sun Quan attacked Yizhou, and Liu Zhang will definitely make the army attacking Hanzhong retreat. Can General Huang of Hanzhong stop Cao Cao's troops?" Hanzhong cannot fall into Cao Cao's hands, otherwise Cao Cao will still be very big. This is the last thing Liu Bei wants to see arrived.

"I don't know. There has been no news from Hanzhong for a long time, but General Huang, with Kong Ming's plan, can't hold on and preserve his strength. He can hold on for a while." Chen Gong didn't dare to promise anything to Liu Bei. too far.

"Actually, whether it is Hanzhong or Liangzhou, it is the prime minister. We can rest assured that what we should do now is to coordinate all parties and eliminate future troubles. Don't let this kind of ignorance happen again." Guo said. Jia's meaning is very simple, you don't need to worry about things that you can't control, just manage the rear and don't cause trouble for Chen Ziming and others.

Only a fierce person like Guo Jia dared to say this, and only in front of Liu Bei would he dare to say it so presumptuously.

488章 全局

Hanzhong, Nanzheng City, Nanzheng is now surrounded on all sides, and the Yizhou army has attacked countless times, but they were all repulsed by Huang Zhong who defended the city. Nanzheng is the first city in Hanzhong, and it was built as solid as a gold soup by Zhang Lu. It is definitely a strong city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Moreover, there are Huang Zhong's [-] elite guards in Nanzheng City, coupled with the young and strong recruits in Nanzheng City to assist in defending the city, and there are countless advanced and sophisticated weapons for defending the city. Such Nanzheng is not so easy to attack. .

"The city was besieged for three months, and there were no fewer than a hundred strong attacks, but there was no way to shake such a fortified city at all."

The veteran Yan Yan who led the Yizhou army to attack Hanzhong was also very helpless. If they could not attack Nanzheng, it would not be considered as occupying Hanzhong.

"General, Nanzheng is surrounded by rocks, the underground road is difficult to dig, and the progress is slow..." The general Zhang Ren has nothing to do, no matter how he calls a war, Huang Zhong will not come out, no matter how he lures the enemy , Nanzheng city gate is not open.

The strong attack can't be attacked, and the enemy army doesn't want to fight, so it's not an option to waste it like this. After all, there is still a strong enemy nearby.

"General, why don't you let Cao's army come to attack the city? Cao's army is well-armed and well-trained. If they attack by force, they will have a great chance of breaking the city." Zhang Ren once again offered advice to Yan Yan, and had to admit that Cao's army's combat effectiveness was indeed in Yizhou. above.

"I waited so hard to besiege Huang Zhong in Nanzheng. Why did Cao Jun take advantage of it? This general has already figured it out. There is not much food and grass in the city. At most one month, the city will collapse without attack." Yan Yan was a soldier all his life, and He will give up at will, and breaking through Nanzheng is equivalent to occupying Hanzhong. How could he give up to Cao Jun.

"General, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are mortal enemies, and Huang Zhong is a fierce tiger. Why don't we back off the road and let Cao and Liu hurt each other, and then we will sit on the fisherman." Zhang Ren didn't want to see the man from Yizhou head-on to Nanzheng again. , speak again.
