Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1237 Jiangdong's Strategy

Zhu Yazhou, in this era, belongs to a place of exile.

Volume 69 of "Taiping Yulan" quotes Wang Yin's "Book of Jin" as saying: "Zhuya is in the sea, looking at Zhuyazhou from a distance, it is as big as a fungus, and sailing to the island in one day and one night, the circle is two thousand miles, and the diameter is seven to eight hundred miles. , can be hundreds of thousands.

This Zhuyazhou is not as prosperous as the tourist holy land of later generations, it is an extremely desolate and inaccessible place.

At the beginning, Gan Ning led his army to the south, crossed Jiaozhou, and established a naval base on the coast of Jiaozhou to train elite sailors for the Mu army. However, the relationship between Minghou Mansion and Jiaozhou has always been tense. Hou Mansion, still not getting better.

So Gan Ning crossed the Jiaozhou border, occupied Zhuyazhou, and established the current naval base. The entire Zhuyazhou is very large and has a good climate. Compared with the Central Plains, it is more suitable for land reclamation.

The sailors trained on the water, but they didn't sleep in the open air. In order to supply the navy base, they opened up a lot of wasteland and built a lot of buildings in Zhuyazhou.

Zhuyazhou's first city, which already has a prototype, is called Mingshui City.

To commemorate the Minghou Mansion and the navy.

So it was named Mingshui City. Mingshui City looks desolate, but it has a large population. On the one hand, Gan Ning wiped out some aborigines in Zhuyazhou, and the labor force came from emigration; on the other hand, the population was plundered from Jiaozhou.

Mingshui City is a military management system, and everything is under the supervision of the naval general Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was regarded as the native emperor of Zhuyazhou.

There is a mansion built of stone in the city, named the mansion of General Zhonglang of the Navy, not only the command post of the Navy, but also the headquarters of Gan Ning.

Gan Ning strode in, untied his battle armor, sat down cross-legged, and took a sip of hot tea: "It's better to be on the shore!"

"Tell me about the harvest this time?"

Zhang Yun also sat down and said in a low voice.

He was not in a good mood, damaged six warships, and sacrificed nearly [-] soldiers, but a huge amount of data was destroyed at sea like this, and he didn't even know how to explain it to Bei Wutang.

"A lot of gains!"

Gan Ning said: "The south is a treasure land, not only the population, we plundered 3000 people at once, enough for us to do a lot of things, and in the south, I found their iron ore, silver mines, There are many gold mines, gold and silver treasures are really everywhere, and the local aborigines don't know how to pick them up. We cross the sea, and we can get there in more than a month. If we are familiar with it, we can even get there in half a month. It is necessary to get familiar with the route, but it is too difficult to distinguish the direction at sea. We have taken the wrong route several times, and the nautical chart is also very confusing. Sometimes even if we know a place, we may not be able to go there. The sea is still too big. Luo, come to correspond to the direction, it's too bad!"

This is the first time for the navy to explore abroad, and it has suffered a lot of losses, and the harvest can be regarded as rich, but seeing so many things, it is a very depressing thing that they cannot be transported back.

"never mind!"

Zhang Yun thought for a while, don't worry about this matter for now, there is a time for sailing, and the navy has records, then just read it slowly, and deal with the matter in front of him first: "My lord has issued a secret order!"

"secret order?"

Gan Ning raised his head slightly. This was the first time that Mu Jing gave him a secret order after he went south. He was not reconciled when Mu Jing asked him to go south to Jiaozhou to train troops. Like those who are excluded, although he has always put his heart into training soldiers, building ships, and familiarizing himself with the sea, there is always a feeling that a hero is useless, and he even doubts whether Mu Jing directly exiled him.

"There is only a password, and Jing Wusi passed it over, asking you to go back and report immediately!"

"Really?" Gan Ning's eyes lit up.

"How dare I lie to you about this!" Zhang Yun rolled his eyes, not to mention that he no longer has much hostility towards the Minghou Mansion, even if he had any intentions, he would not use such an ordinary method. Among the divisions, the generals under his command are enough to control the navy well.

Zhang Yun was able to hold the Sima's position firmly because he brought some elites who were barely influential, but it was impossible to take charge of the army. The system of the Mu Army had already cut off his desire to rebel.

"My lord summoned me at this time, is it..."

Gan Ning had to think more.

"Do you think the lord is going to attack Jiangdong?" Zhang Yun is also an excellent general, his ideas are still very keen, and he is a little aware of it.

The Mujun sailors in Neihe are only second-class soldiers and horses. No one knows that the real elites are all in Zhuyazhou. If Zhuyazhou's navy is mobilized, there is only one possibility, to attack Jiangdong.

The Jiangdong Navy is the best in the world.

This is Jiangdong's advantage. If Jiangdong is suppressed on a naval warship, capturing Jiangdong is nothing more than a search for something.

"Otherwise, why would my lord think of me?"

Gan Ning said.

"I don't think it's very likely!"

Zhang Yun didn't think so, he said in a low voice: "At this time, it is irrational for the Minghou Mansion to fight against Jiangdong. Whether it is from the overall situation or other considerations, I am afraid that the Lord will not easily start the battle against Jiangdong. !"

"Then why do you think it is?" Gan Ning asked.

"Recently, my lord is in the Minghou Mansion, implementing the new policy, which has caused a lot of uproar in the world, and the pressure is quite high. Maybe..." Zhang Yun is an ambitious general who is unwilling to be annihilated, so he is concerned about every move of the Minghou Mansion. In addition, he paid little attention to it. He thought about it and said his guess: "My lord may want to eat Jiaozhou completely!"

"Jiaozhou?"

Gan Ning narrowed his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a contemptuous smile: "That's not too much pressure for us!"

"Don't underestimate Jiaozhou!" Zhang Yun shook his head: "Not to mention the east, the Shijia army in the west is also a tough bone!"

"Humph!"

Gan Ning sneered: "It's not that I underestimate Shi Xie. He is indeed a man of courage. Jiaozhou is a land of Baiyue. It has been rarely valued in the Han Dynasty for 400 years. The people are ignorant and their lives are backward. It is not easy to become a scholar. Scholars Xie Bei went to study, and returned after his studies. Over the years, Jiaozhou has changed a lot. He can study for success, but also for failure. Confucianism has influenced him too much. In prosperous times, this person must be a good minister, but in troubled times, he may not be a hero!"

As the saying goes, a raging soldier will be a raging pot.

Shi Xie is not bloody enough.

Even if the Shijiajun has the support of the people of Jiaozhou and the geographical dependence of Jiaozhou, he can't stop the tiger from outside. Sooner or later Jiaozhou will fall, it just depends on who takes it.

"What about the eastern part of Jiaozhou?"

"Jiangdong is still a fierce tiger!" Gan Ning's face became serious: "However, we also have our advantages. We can catch them by surprise by landing on the eastern coastline of Jiaozhou. With the cooperation of the main force, it will not be difficult to take the eastern part of Jiaozhou!"

"The navy in Jiangdong should not be underestimated either!"

"If it were you, would you put the elite Jiangdong navy in Jiaozhou?" Gan Ning asked.

"will not!"

Zhang Yun thought for a while, then shook his head.

The main force of Jiangdong's navy must be on the Yangtze River waterway. This waterway is the lifeblood of Jiangdong. It resists Cao Cao in the north and reaches Mujing in the west. All of them are on this riverway.

"That's right!"

Gan Ning said.

"But we also need to consider our influence. I don't deny that our navy is powerful, but once it is exposed, it will definitely attract Jiangdong's attention. By then, Jiangdong's offensive will not be able to show its strength!"

"That's right!" Gan Ning agreed. Mu Jing hid him. He was really upset, but he never complained. That's all. Over the years, relying on the coast, he has indeed made a lot of progress, but he may not be able to fight the Jiangdong navy in a bloody battle. Only by surprise can he be caught off guard.

"Get ready first!"

Gan Ning said: "I'm going north to report to my post, and I'll leave it to you to rectify the navy. Recover combat power as soon as possible, and be ready for war at any time. Whether it's Jiaozhou or Jiangdong, we either don't fight, or we fight and become famous. The world!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Yun nodded.

......................................................

Jiangdong.

The continuous rain, the misty sky, the heavy rain is dripping, connected like a piece of cloth, covering the sky and the earth,

Jianye, a new city.

Vibrant.

Of course, the prosperity is definitely not as good as Wu County. After all, Wu County is one of the main cities in Jiangdong, but the geographical advantages here can surpass Wu County, and the development trend is more promising than Wu County.

Wuhou Mansion.

Sun Jian was wearing a thin robe and overcoat. Standing under the eaves, watching the rain fall, he felt a little cold, which made him feel a chill in his heart.

Thinking of how many years he has fought in the world, he fought countless bloody battles immediately, with an ancient ingot sword in his hand, invincible, but now he is like a sick child, even if it is raining, he can be invaded by the cold, it is really sad.

"Lord!"

An old servant came in and bowed his hands.

"My lord, please see me!"

"Let him in, see me in the lobby!"

Sun Jian withdrew his emotions. After all, he was a tough person. Even if he was left with ailments all over his body on the battlefield, he would not let his son see his weak side.

Walking into the lobby, the brazier was obviously burning in the lobby. The heat from the brazier made Sun Jian's body shiver, but he became a little more comfortable.

He raised his eyes and looked at the young man who was burning the brazier: "Bo Fu, what are you doing?"

"Father is not in good health, it's raining heavily, and it's a bit cold, I'll light a brazier for him!" Sun Ce smiled foolishly.

"In your eyes, is father such a weak person?"

Sun Jian sat down on his knees, his face a little displeased: "This summer is not autumn, but it is just a rain, why is it cold, don't do such a childish thing!"

"Yes!"

Sun Ce was helpless. Although he felt sorry for his father's body, he didn't dare to poke his father's wounds in this regard. Physical injuries can be cured, but the wounds in his heart are difficult to heal. Let his father, who has been a soldier for half his life, spend the rest of his life It is bad news that you can no longer fight on the battlefield with a horse and a knife.

"Jiangdong is busy with things today, how do you have time to do this for your father?" Sun Jian really didn't care about Jiangdong's affairs during this time.

On the one hand, the first battle in Xiling destroyed a lot of his pride and ambition, and also obliterated a lot of his vigor, which made his fighting spirit a little depressed.

On the other hand, this incident also taught him a lesson. He can't shelter Sun Bofu for the rest of his life, so he learns to let go and let Sun Bofu handle Jiangdong's affairs. If it is still there, Jiangdong will not be able to turn the sky.

"Father is the master of Jiangdong, and the child is just acting as a substitute, but the father can't always expect the child to be in Jiangdong, so there are some things that the child must report to the father!"

Sun Ce cupped his hands and said.

"Worried about fearing you for your father?" Sun Jian narrowed his eyes.

In today's Jiangdong, the Sun family dominates the universe, the sage rules the world, and the king is not like a king. Power is a double-edged sword. It can give people glory, but it can also make people not recognize it. Since ancient times, power struggles, father-son brothers , There are countless things that go against each other.

"No!"

Sun Ce shook his head: "How can a child be so stingy? My father is in the prime of life. Everything in Jiangdong belongs to the father. If the child has the heart, he will fight back on his own. How can he turn against his father for a mere vulgar thing!"

The domineering Sun Bofu said this very frankly.

"You are quite confident!"

Sun Jian sighed: "But Zhongmou has grown up. Although this son does not have your bravery, nor does he have the temperament of a father, but he is indeed a gloomy person. You may not be the only one in Jiangdong!"

"The father's worry, the child understands!"

Sun Ce smiled indifferently: "Isn't my father just worried that I have suppressed the Jiangdong gentry so much that it has aroused their resentment, and they will naturally instigate Zhongmou to fight for power with me, it's okay, let them let go, if Zhongmou is capable, let the Sun family be unified Under heaven, why don't I lead the horse and carry the knife for him!"

This is Sun Ce's character.

Sun Ce has always been grand. In history, he was assassinated and died. He had children under his knees, but because of Jiangdong's foundation, he entrusted his power to his younger brother Sun Quan.

"You!"

Sun Jian didn't know whether it was gratification or helplessness. This son has a domineering and benevolent appearance, but he has no thick and dark heart. He is unparalleled in conquering the world, but he lacks heart.

"Father, my son wants to attack Jiaozhou!" Sun Ce cupped his hands in salute, and then explained the reason for his visit.

"West of Jiaozhou?"

Sun Jian narrowed his eyes: "It's just a desolate place, why go to war, if we provoke a dispute with the Minghou Mansion, I'm afraid we will suffer!"

Jiangdong needs to recuperate. In the battle of last year, not to mention his defeat in the Central Plains, but Jingzhou, they also suffered a defeat, and their vitality was greatly consumed.

It would be unwise to fight the Minghou Mansion at this time.

"Fighting Jiaozhou is just using offense instead of defense!" Sun Ce explained softly.

"You mean, the Mujun will attack us from Jiaozhou?" Sun Jian understood, and his eyes became sharper. Even if the Jiangdong tiger can't go to the battlefield, it is still a tiger with unparalleled momentum. It sank, but it didn't extinguish it, on the contrary, it became more restrained.

"Probably!"

Sun Ce nodded: "Gongjin has already deduced it. If the Mu army wants to attack, it must first fight from Jiaozhou. If Jiaozhou is taken by them, we will be surrounded by enemies on three sides. It is not good for us in Jiangdong. We take the initiative Offensive is a test, and it is also an offense instead of defense, giving them an attitude that they would rather fight to the death than give up half of Jiaozhou, and force the Minghou Mansion to give up Jiaozhou's peeping!"

"feasible!"

Sun Jian nodded.

He stood up and turned his head. Behind him, there was a map hanging on the screen. The map was comprehensive and included the entire Han territory: "Jiangdong is located in a special place. We have natural dangers and an unparalleled navy. The defense is fine, but the offense is difficult. Although Jiaozhou seems unimportant, in terms of strategic deployment, it can be a breakthrough. If we can break through Jingzhou and the southwest from Jiaozhou, it may be more beneficial for us to attack Minghou Mansion in the future, but... ..."

He took a deep breath and said: "At present, we mainly rest and recuperate. We can't mobilize too many troops, and you can't fight in person. As long as you and I don't fight, the fight will be small and big. In addition, although our goal is Jiangdong, we can Let’s explore the north side!”

"Guangling?"

Sun Ce's eyes suddenly brightened.

Xuzhou may not have hope.

However, there is hope that Guangling can be taken down. As long as the speed is fast enough, Cao Cao will react first, cross the river north first, and take down the bridgehead in the north.
