Sun Ce let the emissary from Jingzhou go on. Although Sun Ce was shocked by the news, he still hesitated whether Liu Biao was having a convulsion and showed such a big bottom line.
Jiangxia County, one county does not matter, it is just dozens of counties, but Jiangxia's geographical location is different, just like Fancheng is to Xiangyang. Only with Jiangxia, the Jingzhou, can stop Jiangdong Sun Ce. After leaving Jiangxia, what will Jingzhou do to stop Jiangdong's army
"My lord, he doesn't belong to the whole Jiangxia area, Chibi, and Shiyang, Liu Biao of Jingzhou still won't give it to me," Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce beside him.
"Chibi and Shiyang?: Sun Ce thought for a while, and couldn't help but frowned. One of these two places was to go to Xiangyang after entering Jingzhou Nanjun, and the other was to go to Changsha through Baling. These two places are guarded. zone.
"Hehe, don't worry, this Liu Biao is used to fighting in water. It is true that we can't get through the two main roads, but we can march on land.
Xiakou is a very long-term place. It is built around the water. After passing through Xiakou, there is land. There are Chibi and Shiyang on the waterway, but there is no place on the land. As long as nsb.cm passes Xiakou, it can naturally attack from the land. "Haha, after that, pull out Chibi and march into Changsha for a generation. The southeastern part of Jingzhou belongs to Jiangdong." Sun Ce thought over there. In addition to his powerful navy, Jiangdong's army is also very powerful. During the battle against Yangzhou, I basically didn't win a few times, but you have to know that even Cao Cao was not sure of winning the Yangzhou land battle, let alone other people.
Compared with Jingzhou's infantry battle. Jiangdong is the elite. The Jingzhou navy can still compete with Jiangdong for hegemony. But above the land battle, the Jiangdong Army absolutely despised Jingzhou.
"However, Gong Jin, why did Liu Biao of Jingzhou lose his mind and want to attack Liu Mang of Yangzhou? Aren't they just an alliance?" Sun Ce was still worried that there was a fraud in it. After all, Liu Biao was going all out to exchange Jiangxia for Yangzhou. The downfall of the navy.
"You don't have to worry about this, my lord. This time Liu Biao is absolutely out of his mind!" Zhou Yu laughed contemptuously. He told the lord Sun Ce what happened in Jingzhou. What Liu Biao did in Xiangyang can't be concealed from everyone. Liu Mang escaped from Xiangyang's ambush on all sides, and the big movements of Shu Wang Liu Mang and Liu Biao can be hidden.
Now that Liu Biao can die, he has no choice but to do it. Liu Mang gave him a cuckold, can he bear it? Naturally, it was time to rise up and fight, and even if Liu Biao endured it, it would be before the world knew about the matter. Now that it is well known, if Liu Biao doesn't show some action, it will be the biggest joke in the world for a long time. Why did Zhang Xiu rebel against Cao Cao in the first place? That is, Cao Cao is too much, if Cao Cao pays Zhang Xiu after. A little hint to Zhang Xiu, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu will definitely send his aunt Zou to Cao Cao's mansion for his future, but Cao Cao is so blatant that he almost didn't tell the world, how could Zhang Xiu endure Come on, that's not a joke.
Now Liu Mang ran out of Xiangyang and left Jingzhou, Liu Biao was also afraid that Yangzhou would attack him, so he had to act first, Liu Biao had to lose his mind and be cruel.
"Could it be that he, Liu Mang, is just like that Cao Cao?" Sun Ce became puzzled. This Cao Cao likes someone, his wife. This is well known, but Liu Mang, the king of Shu, has not shown many bad deeds.
Although Sun Ce had a grudge with Liu Biao, he also sympathized with Liu Biao at this time. Liu Biao's wife, Mrs. Cai, was eaten by Liu Reckless and became pregnant. No one can bear it.
According to Sun Ce in the past, at this time, Sun Ce naturally borrowed troops without thinking about it, wishing that the Jingzhou army and the Yangzhou army would fight immediately, but now Sun Ce is smarter. In other words, he has been tricked a lot, and naturally there is a shadow in his heart, "Gong Jin said that there may be fraud in this." Sun Ce said cautiously, he was afraid that this was another trap, and it might be Liu Biao of Jingzhou. It was a trap shot by Liu Mang in Yangzhou. If he fell into it, Sun Ce would become a joke. This may be a bitter plan. You must know that Yangzhou and Jingzhou have just formed an alliance, and this turn of events is too fast.
"It's possible." Zhou Yu became cautious for some reason.
"Then we refused?" Sun Ce didn't know why he felt a little heartbroken. Who didn't? The whole Jiangxia County was what he, Sun Ce, wanted in every possible way. Now it was in front of him, but Sun Ce was wavering. It will definitely be very uncomfortable.
"It's unnecessary to refuse!" Zhou Yu shook his head. If he refused, it would show that he was afraid of Jiang Dong, and this is really an opportunity. Jiang Xia is now a stumbling block. As long as Jiang Xia is here, Jiang Dong's army Jingzhou can't be hit at all. There used to be a Lujiang River as a buffer, but now Lujiang and Jiangxia have two neighbors who are not easy to deal with. This is an old fox. He probably eats more salt than you eat rice. Can you get benefits from him
Jiang Xia used to have Huang Zu, even a veteran, but under Jiang Dong's attack, he was retreating steadily, only Jiang Dong was raging, and Jiang Xia was beaten, how could he fight back.
And now Jiangxia has changed generals to Wenpin, which is okay, but that military adviser Zhuge Liang has caused headaches for the entire Jiangdong, and now the Jiangdong army has become the Jiangdong army who has lost money in the fight against Jingzhou. Now it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you give up like this for nothing, how can you be willing.
As for risk? Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, if you are afraid of risks in everything you do, then why fight the world, right
"Then Gongjin, what do you mean?" Sun Ce didn't want to refuse directly, it's such a big piece of fat, it's hard to see if you can't find it.
"Borrow the way first!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce, "Let him come over with the Jingzhou navy." What Zhou Yu meant was to let the Jiangxia navy come over first, and watch the Jingzhou navy attack Yangzhou, "and then borrow troops." When the time is right, see Seeing this Yangzhou army and Jingzhou navy fight a real fire. So that's where it gets involved. Borrow troops. In this case, even Liu Biao has nothing to say. After all, I'll give you everything you want, it's just a matter of time. When the Yangzhou army is wiped out, and Liu Biao's letter is shown, can Liu Biao still deny it
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Let's do it this way." Sun Ce nodded, and he really didn't want to let him give up this Jiangxia. Now there is such a thing that has the best of both worlds. Sun Ce nodded naturally. If he found out that Jingzhou and Yangzhou jointly calculated him, Jiangdong could rein in the precipice and minimize the loss. If not, then whether it is the elimination of the Yangzhou army or the capture of Jiangxia, this is what Sun Ce wants to see.
…
"Hmph!" Xiakou Daying Zhiwen hired a response from Jiangdong and couldn't help but snorted.
"What's wrong with the general, is this Jiangdong little overlord unwilling to borrow troops?" Zhuge Liang asked Wen Pin beside him, shaking his feather fan.
"It's not that I didn't make excuses, but this Jiangdong Sun Ce is really good at calculating." Wen Pin taught Zhuge Liang the letter in his hand with a sullen expression on his face, and Zhuge Liang glanced over it.
It turns out that what Sun Ce of Jiangdong wrote in his letters is Taoism, which can be borrowed. As for the soldiers and horses. It may be delayed for a few days because of the allocation of food and grass.
These few days can make a big fuss, and a few days can be one or two days. It can also be dozens of days, depending on whether you are thick-skinned. But Jiang Dong thought that Jingzhou would ask them to give up Xiakou first.
"Hehe!" Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head, "It's only natural that the Jiangdong army should be cautious."
"Do you want me Xiakou if you don't do anything?" Wenpin is really unwilling. If you attack Yangzhou, you can attack Yangzhou. Why do you want to include Jiangxia? Wenpin judged death in the front Work hard, why not just for your Liu Biao's Jingzhou, so that you Liu Biao can be more stable and do a good job in this Jingzhou pastoral position.
This Jiang Xia Wenpin has turned white, but now it's a good thing that Jiang Xia will hand over all the papers and papers to the enemy.
"Don't be angry, general. Since Jiangdong's army is not moving and is only willing to give way, then I can't give it all! Xiakou wants it. It's impossible. We can give up the few accompanying villages in front of Xiakou. , This has already shown our sincerity." Zhuge Liang said again, giving the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, since you Jiangdong navy will not move, then I will borrow the money.
"Okay, let's do it like this!" Wenpin sneered, he wanted to show Jiangdong that even without Jiangdong's navy, their Jingzhou navy could still wipe out the Yangzhou navy. Don't blame the Jingzhou navy for not admitting it. After all, the condition I gave you to Jiang Xia was that you would send troops to help me.
Soon, warships from Xiakou's water army camp slowly moved out of Xiakou camp, along the Yangtze River, and headed directly towards the Lujiang River. There was no Jiangdong Army along the way. Even if there are obstacles, they are just small boats.
"Has Liu Biao's Jiangxia navy really dispatched?" Naturally, Jiangxia's actions couldn't be hidden from Jiangdong's army. Sun Ce listened to the reports of his subordinates in the camp.
"Reporting to my lord, it's absolutely true that almost white warships came out of the camp, all sailed towards the Lujiang River with full sail!" This was a sentry post observing along the way.
"Hundred warships?" Sun Ce thought for a while, the current building boats used to be able to carry seven or eight hundred people, but now because of the bed crossbow, three hundred people is already the limit. These hundred warships, This is only 30,000 horses, but the Jiangxia Navy has a full 70,000 horses. Where did the remaining 40,000 horses go
"Did you really see a hundred warships?" Sun Ce asked again.
"Yes, my lord, the last general ordered several more times. There are only a hundred ships, and there are no other warships!"
Did the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses disappear out of thin air? Where did you go? Sun Ce was a little uneasy, because 40,000 soldiers and horses are not a small number. If they just stay in the naval camp, they would not need 40,000 soldiers and horses. Could it be that there is really a fraud in it? "Let the soldiers and horses below sleep with their clothes on for me, and be ready to stand by at any time!" Sun Ce became cautious.
"Slow down!" Zhou Yu stopped Jiangdong Sun Ce. Although such a high level of tension can prevent the enemy from attacking, it will be a disadvantage once you go to the battlefield, because when you are highly nervous, it consumes a lot of energy.
"Let me ask you, what banners are these hundreds of warships flying in Jingzhou?" Zhou Yu asked the subordinate who was passing the news.
"It's under the banner of Jingzhou Wen and Zhuge." The people under his command knew everything about Zhou Yu.
"Wen? Wenpin? Zhuge is naturally Zhuge Liang." Wenpin actually took command in person. This is a good opportunity. Sun Ce was a little moved. If all soldiers and horses are sent at this moment to intercept the 30,000 soldiers and horses. Then we can catch Wenpin and Zhuge Liang all in one go! But Sun Ce dismissed this company again. If the 30,000 soldiers and horses were desperate, Jiangdong would not feel well. If he hurts the enemy by one thousand, he will lose eight hundred.
"Have you ever seen the two flags of Huo and Li?" Zhou Yu asked.
"This, this has never been seen!" The observing captain thought for a while and shook his head.
Huo Ziran is Huo Jun, and Li is Li Yan. These two soldiers and horses can now be said to be the elite of the Jiangxia camp. If the flags of these two people did not appear, it means that these two people were not in charge of this attack. Captain.
"Is there anything special about the Jiangxia navy on those warships?"
"Special place?" The captain thought for a long time before he said, "If you really want to say something special. The armor on the Jingzhou army is very exquisite, and it is made of high-quality plate armor and wood. of."
"That's right." Zhou Yu understood, and when everyone was still at a loss, Zhou Yu cupped his fists at Sun Ce above and said, "Master, the Jingzhou navy that is going out this time is not someone else but Liu Biao's direct line army, Xiangyang. The navy soldiers and horses." The Xiangyang navy soldiers and horses are divided into two parts, one part is in the hands of the military adviser Cai Mao, and the other part is in the hands of Liu Biao himself. Liu Biao was afraid that Jiangxia would change, so he dispatched the Xiangyang navy who was absolutely loyal to him to teach Wenpin. These direct-line troops were raised by their parents, so their armaments, armor and weapons are all high-quality things. The fleet that came out of Xiakou this time is the soldiers and horses of the Xiangyang Navy.
"Use the Xiangyang navy? What about his Jiangxia navy soldiers and horses?" Huo Jun and Li Yan have Jiangxia soldiers and horses in their hands, because this is his hometown, and they fight for their hometown, so this group of people are more brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death , It was a headache for Jiangdong Army.
"My lord, if it were you, would you bring Jiang Xiajun out to fight?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.
"No!" Sun Ce gave the answer without even thinking about it. This is no nonsense. What is the purpose of Jiangxia's soldiers working so hard? Isn't it to drive Jiangdong people out of Jiangxia's land? Risking one's life to one's life, but this is very different from the battle in Yangzhou, not to mention that after the fight, Jiang Xia will be handed over to others.
If the subordinates below know about this, and those Jiang Xia soldiers know about it, then they won't mutiny.
Therefore, Jiang Xia's army cannot be used in this battle. At least not until it's done.
Now we can know why the Jingzhou navy only dispatched 30,000 horses and left 40,000 horses to guard the house.
"Gongjin, let's go and see how the Jingzhou navy fought this battle." Sun Ce felt much more comfortable after letting go of the burden in his heart. Whether it was Jingzhou or Yangzhou, it was all Sun Ce. The stumbling block on the road to hegemony, it is good to watch them fight, but also to observe whether it is a real fight or a routine, this will determine the future attitude of the Jiangdong Army.
"My lord, there is still one thing you haven't done!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce.
"Is there anything left to do?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment. What else did he not do
"My lord, I have been a neighbor with the Yangzhou Army for so many years, and the neighbor's house is about to have a visitor, why don't we notify?" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce with a smile.
Upon hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce also laughed, "It should, it should! Someone, send me a letter to the Lujiang naval base, and tell them that Jiang Xia's old friend came to visit them. "
"Yes!" The messenger left quickly. Was Sun Ce kind? Of course not, he wished that the Jingzhou Navy and the Yangzhou Navy would fight to the death, but now the Yangzhou Navy has a small number of people and few warships, and is at a disadvantage, so remind the Yangzhou Navy not to be attacked by the Jingzhou Navy in the end And if it is destroyed, then what is the point of Jiangdong Army being the most mountain-watching tiger, it is best to lose both sides, this is the most beneficial for their Jiangdong Army.
