Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 632 Jingzhou Northern Expedition!

After everyone quieted down, Lu Su cupped his hands, took over the topic and said: "The ancients said that a proud soldier is bound to be defeated! Cao Jun's continuous victories have already regarded the princes of the world as nothing. Such an army only needs to show the enemy's weakness, and then it will be defeated. Take the opportunity to give a fatal blow, Cao Jun will be defeated!"

"Haha! Zijing said it very well!"

Before Lu Su finished speaking, a clear laughter suddenly came from outside the conference hall.

Everyone turned their heads to look outside the gate, only to see the heroic Zhou Yu leading several young generals in the army striding in like shooting stars.

"Gongjin!" Seeing Zhou Yu's return, Sun Quan had a look of joy on his face, "Why are you back?!"

Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Ding Feng and other generals stepped forward and gave a military salute.

After Zhou Yu got up, he said, "My lord, the last general came here to attack Cao Jun!"

"Wait. Crusade Cao Jun?" Not to mention the other civil servants, even Zhang Zhao couldn't help being stunned, "Gongjin, what do you mean, we still want to take the initiative to attack?"

"Exactly!" Zhou Yu nodded resolutely, with a dignified expression but revealed a hint of passion, "Cao Cao's subordinate Lu Yan is training the navy, creating a battle-like inseparable body; Guo Jia has been in charge of the intelligence organization for many years and has not been on the battlefield. Therefore, Cao Cao's army often relies most heavily on the five advisers.

But now Xun Yu has to guard the entire rear, Jia Xu has to guard Wancheng, and Cheng Yu has to guard Yanzhou. Cao Cao's side is now only Xi Zhicai and Xun You. "

Zhou Yu paused for Sun Quan and others to digest for a while, and then he continued: "Now that Jingzhou is in Liu Qi's hands, and Pang Shiyuan is his military advisor, he will definitely not be trapped in an isolated city like Liu Biao, and will definitely look for opportunities to attack. Cao Cao!"

"As long as we reach a consensus with Jingzhou in advance and send troops to the Central Plains at the same time when the time comes, Cao's army can't take care of both ends, and we will definitely be defeated by our coalition forces!"

"Emmm, that's what I said." Sun Quan frowned, got up and walked back and forth on the steps thinking, and then said, "But why do I always feel that this idea is too simple?"

Although Sun Quan didn't quite trust Zhou Yu's proposal, Sun Quan didn't want to disturb the morale of the army because of the disagreement, so he changed the subject and asked everyone, "Zijing, how many soldiers and ships are we waiting for now?"

Lu Su glanced at Zhou Yu, saw that Zhou Yu didn't say anything, so he had no choice but to stand up, cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "My lord, our army has 15 sailors, [-] infantry, and more than [-] large and small warships. Among them, there are already [-] large ships!"

Sun Quan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he sighed, "In just one year, our army has more than doubled in size! Gongjin, Zijing, you are hiding so deep!"

The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and he clasped his hands with Lu Su and said, "The last general lied to the lord, please punish the lord!"

Sun Quan hurriedly ran to the center of the hall to help Zhou Yu and Lu Su up, and said, "You two have worked so hard for me, Jiangdong, what's your fault? Please get up!"

After helping Zhou Yu and Lu Su up, they also obviously felt that Sun Quan spoke with much more confidence.

But Sun Quan still hesitated and asked: "Gong Jin, if our army takes the initiative to go north to fight Cao Jun, what are the chances of winning?"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and then he looked into Sun Quan's eyes and said, "The situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and the trick of using troops is one-hearted. Yu can only say that he will do his best to win this Northern Expedition. Anyway, it’s really hard to jump to conclusions.”

If Zhou Yu didn't say anything, Sun Quan couldn't ask further questions.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Quan looked at Lu Su and asked, "Zijing, is there an envoy from Jingzhou?"

Lu Su clasped his hands and replied: "My lord, don't drive Zhuge Ziyu in Jingzhou. He is on his way to Jiangdong. I think he will arrive in Chaisang in three days."

"That's great!" Sun Quan nodded and walked towards his seat.

After sitting upright again, Sun Quan continued: "Cao Jun is plagued by grassland barbarians in the north, and Han Sui in the west. Now there are allies in Jingzhou who intend to forge ahead. Naturally, I in Jiangdong will not be left behind!"

Seeing that Sun Quan had made up his mind, the civil and military officials all stood with their hands tied and waited for Sun Quan's order, "Pass my order, all parts of Jiangdong will enter a wartime state, and all parts of the country will speed up the gathering of food and grass, and be ready to march against Cao Cao at any time!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

"My lord is wise!"

In the secluded border, wars and turmoil have occurred frequently in Xiliang; now Jingzhou and Jiangdong have made new moves one after another.This made many people of insight secretly smell a storm that was about to come, and even the caravans and people who came and went under the rule of the various princes suddenly decreased a lot.

In this depressing atmosphere,

On the third day of March in the ninth year of Jian'an,

Pang Tong, who was worshiped as a military adviser general, hired Liu Pan as the vanguard, Wen Huojun and Fu Tong as deputy generals, and personally led an army of [-] to the Northern Expedition!
Liu Pan is the son of Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou. He is brave and good at fighting. Even Jiangdong Sun Ce is afraid of him.

Huo Jun, courtesy name Zhongmiao, was born in Nanjun.

His elder brother Huo Du gathered troops and went to Liu Biao. Huo Du died of illness, and Huo Jun took charge of the army in his brother's place.

In history, Huo Jun rejected Cao Cao's solicitation and defected to Liu Bei, and followed Liu Bei into Shu as a general of Zhonglang.

When Liu Bei attacked Liu Zhang from Jiameng Pass, Huo Jun was left alone to guard Jiameng Pass.

Jiamengguan is an important stronghold in Liu Bei's rear.

At that time, Huo Jun had only a few hundred soldiers and horses in total, but Liu Zhang sent tens of thousands of people to attack Huo Jun at Jiameng Pass.

But the result was that Huo Jun not only defended Jiameng Pass, but even defeated Liu Zhang's army in a counterattack.Later, Liu Bei also specially separated the Guanghan vassal state, and made Huo Jun the governor of Zitong County in recognition of Huo Jun's achievements.

Huo Jun also has a son named Huo Ge, who was also in the womb of Liu Chan in history.Before the fall of the Shu Han, Huo Ge was General Annan, who actually commanded the southern and central counties.

When I heard that Deng Ai was crusading against the Kingdom of Shu, I wanted to send troops to rescue Chengdu, but Liu Chan refused to allow it, so the Shu Han perished later.

Fu Tong, another lieutenant general in the Northern Expedition Army, was from Yiyang. When he was young, he gathered soldiers and horses to join Liu Biao. Later, he also joined Liu Bei and became one of Liu Bei's most loyal generals.

Historically, Lu Xun set fire to his company battalion, Liu Bei broke through to the west, Fu Tong and others led troops to respond, and the troops retreated to Ma'anshan.

Lu Xun's brigade besieged Ma'anshan, and the situation was critical. After Fu Tong made a brave decision, he protected Liu Bei and retreated to Baidi City.

Liu Bei was able to escape after having Fu Tong, but Wu Jun surrounded Fu Tong's army from all directions.

Wu Jiang Ding Feng saw Fu Tong Zhongyong, and persuaded Fu Tong to surrender out of sympathy.

But Fu Tong yelled: "I am a general of the Han Dynasty, and Anken surrendered to Wu Gou!"

So he vomited blood and died in the siege of Wu Jun.

Not only did Fu Tong die in battle for the Kingdom of Shu, but his son Fu Qian also died in battle when the Shu Han fell.It can be said that Fu Tong and his son have given everything for the Shu Han.

Although Huo Jun and Fu Tong are not up to the standard of famous generals, they are at least the blanks of generals and fierce generals.

After Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin took office, they began to promote a large number of capable civil and military officials. Huo Jun and Fu Tong, who had not been reused in the past, were able to jump from a no-name school lieutenant to a no-name general.
