Chapter 271
Although the current Jiangdong navy dare not fight with the Jingzhou army, it can be said that the control of Dajiang has fallen into Jingzhou's hands, but before taking Chaisang, Zhang Wu still did not dare to lead his army to attack Jianye, Wujun, etc. land.Just like Jiangdong did not dare to cross Jiangxia to attack Xiangyang and Jiangling because of the danger of being cut off.
Yuzhang and Luling counties in the south are adjacent to Changsha and Guiyang in Jingzhou, but they are separated by the Luoxiao Mountains. However, there is an opening in the middle of the Luoxiao Mountains. When Liu Pan was in Changsha, he often used this opening to harass Yuzhang. county.
Yuzhang County is basically on the Poyang Lake Plain, surrounded by mountains. And as long as Yuzhang County is captured, Luling County will be completely separated from Jiangdong. Without reinforcements, it will definitely be included. The territory of Jingzhou.
After occupying Yuzhang and Luling, it is equivalent to giving Jiangdong a drudgery, and Jiangdong's strength will shrink by half.
Zhuge Liang went on to say: "Since Yuzhang and Luling are lost, if our army guards the Dajiang waterway, I am afraid that Sun Quan will not be able to hold on for long in Chaisang!"
The Jingzhou navy guards the waterways, so Jiangdong cannot transport reinforcements and food from Wujun and other places. After the Jingzhou army takes away Yuzhang and Luling, Sun Quan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chaisang will starve to death after a long time. .
Pang Tong said: "Kong Ming's plan is good, but I'm afraid Cao Cao will not let us do what we want. If Cao Cao learns that Jiangdong has been defeated, he may send troops to Nanyang to contain our army and ease Jiangdong's difficulties."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions changed. In today's world, the princes stand side by side. Although Cao Cao has just experienced a big defeat, his strength still exists. powerful.
At that time, maybe Sun Quan will make some concessions to Cao Cao in exchange for Cao Cao sending troops to attack Jingzhou.
Zhang Wu knew that this was possible, because Sun Quan often did this in the original book, and even his King Wu was named by Cao Wei.
If Cao Cao really sent troops to Fancheng, then Zhang Wu would definitely have to draw his troops back to defend. With fewer troops on Chaisang's side, he might not be able to besiege Chaisang and capture Yuzhang and Luling.
At this time, suddenly a military spy came to report the emergency military situation.
"Report! My lord, the spies from the north have sent news that Cao Cao planned to kill Ma Teng and assembled an army of 20, with unknown intentions."
Really say Cao Cao, the news of Cao Cao is here!
Several counselors were shocked. Cao Cao killed Ma Teng, eliminated the hidden dangers in the north, and assembled a large army. He must go south, but he didn't know whether he planned to attack Jingzhou or Jiangdong.
If Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou again, at least [-] troops would have to be left on the front lines of Fancheng and Xiangyang to deal with it, and the Xiangyang navy had to go back, so there would be fewer troops to attack Chaisang.
If Cao Cao plans to attack Jiangdong, Jiangdong's current situation will be difficult to care about, and he may perish immediately.
Pang Tong said: "My lord, I don't think Cao Cao will attack Jiangdong. If Jiangdong dies, Cao Cao has no navy, and we will benefit in the end. Cao Cao will definitely not want to make wedding dresses for us."
Cao Cao is definitely not stupid. Even if Jiangdong perished under the attack of Cao Cao and Zhang Wu, would Cao Cao dare to send an army across the river to occupy the territory?At that time, Zhang Wu sent a navy to cut off his retreat and supplies of food and grass, and Cao Jun would be finished.
However, if Cao Cao did not attack Jiangdong, would he attack Jingzhou again?
Zhuge Liang also said: "With Cao Cao's treachery, and the wisdom of Xun Yu, Xun You, and Jia Xu, I certainly don't want to see Jingzhou become more prosperous. Cao's army will send troops to Fancheng in all likelihood. Even if they don't attack the city, they must contain our troops. Let Jiangdong take a breath so that he can continue to contain me in Jingzhou."
Zhang Wu said: "Everyone's words are reasonable, but you have forgotten one thing."
Pang Tong and the others asked puzzledly, "My lord, please clarify."
Zhang Wu added: "Although Cao Cao killed Ma Teng and Ma Teng's two sons, Ma Chao, Ma Teng's eldest son, is still there, and so are the Xiliang cavalry. Moreover, the Ma family has lived in Xiliang for a long time, and among the Qiang people Zhongshen has great prestige. Now that Ma Teng has been killed, I predict that Ma Chao will join forces with Han Sui to launch an army to take revenge. By then, Cao Cao will be too busy to take care of himself and unable to go south. We will take the opportunity to capture Yuzhang and Luling counties."
"How could Ma Chao and a martial artist be Cao Cao's opponent?" Xu Shu asked.
Although Cao Cao was defeated in Jingzhou many times, it was because he did not have a navy, which does not mean that Cao Cao was not powerful, and he was still invincible in the north.Back then, Yuan Shao was so powerful that he was no match for Cao Cao. Although Ma Chao was very famous as a young man, he was only a martial artist, so how could he be Cao Cao's match.
"Although Ma Chao is brave and intrepid, he has a general named Pang De under his command, who is both wise and brave. Han Sui is also an old fox. Xiliang's iron cavalry is invincible in the world. Cao Cao will suffer a big loss if he underestimates the enemy. Don't doubt it." .”
Everyone here knows that this hero of his is not only unmatched in literary and martial arts, but also has an extraordinary ability, that is, knowing people.For example, Gan Ning who was a water thief, Wei Yan who came from a poor family, Ding Feng who was born a commoner, Xu Shu who fled under false pretense, and veteran Huang Zhong. After being reused by Zhang Wu, these people all proved their abilities with their strength.
Therefore, now that Zhang Wu said so, everyone no longer doubted it, and after perfecting the plan, they began to implement it.
As a precaution, Zhang Wu sent Xu Shu with [-] troops to garrison in Fancheng, and brought the captured Jiang Qin and Jiangdong soldiers back to Xiangyang to be resettled by Chen Sun and Kuai Yue.At the same time, Zhang Wu ordered Huo Jun to be transferred to Fancheng, and Guan Yu and Huang Zhong to Jiangxia.
After the preparations for the Jingzhou Army were completed, Zhang Wu led an army of [-] troops and generals down the Yangtze River to encircle Chaisang.
Jiangdong had just lost the battle, lost troops and lost generals, and even the governor Zhou Yu was seriously injured. His life and death are still uncertain. Sun Quan dared not go out of the city to fight.
After Zhang Wu led his troops to surround Chaisang, he immediately divided up [-] troops, led by Gan Ning, and together with Zhuge Liang, lay in ambush near the waterway between Poyang Lake and Chaisang, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Yuzhang.
Yuzhang County is a county established in the early Western Han Dynasty. It has jurisdiction over 21 counties and is located in Nanchang. Its jurisdiction is roughly the same as that of present-day Jiangxi Province.During the period of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Yuzhang County consisted of [-] counties. Later, Sun Ce separated several counties from Yuzhang County and established Luling County.
The current prefect of Yuzhang is Sun Quan's cousin Sun Ben. After learning that the Jiangdong Army was defeated and Chaisang was besieged, he immediately led [-] soldiers to support him.In fact, there is still a general in Yuzhang County, that is Tai Shici, who was sent to Yuzhang by Sun Quan to be in charge of resisting the invasion of the Jingzhou army in the south.
But now Taishi Ci was ill, and the illness was serious. He could only recuperate at home, so Sun Ben had to lead his own troops to support Sun Quan.
Sun Ben led his troops from Nanchang, entered Poyang Lake along the Gan River, and was attacked by Gan Ning's ambush when they reached the waterway between Poyang Lake and Chaisang.Sun Ben was hacked to death by Gan Ning, and the rest of the soldiers surrendered.
