Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1362
When Zhou Yu appeared on the lake in the north of Pengze and saw the emptiness around him, he began to regret in his heart. What he regretted was that he did not strengthen his judgment.

He has already made a judgment.

It is believed that the main purpose of the Ming army was to break through the Yangtze River estuary in the east, go down the Yangtze River, and enter the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

But in the end he still hesitated.

Because he has never been able to guess why the Ming army wanted to enter the hinterland of Jiangdong.

This is a strategic deployment like courting death.

No matter how you look at it, there is always something wrong, which is against common sense, and it is impossible for such a thing to happen.

It was the moment of hesitation that made him join the party, but in the end he still did not entangle them decisively, as if he was being led by the nose by them, playing a trick like a monkey.

"Ling Cao!"

"exist!"

"I will give you the fastest warship, and you will chase them day and night. You must catch up with them. Just go after them. You don't need to attack. Hold them and wait for reinforcements. Don't give them a chance to defeat you!"

Although Zhou Yu was fooled, he didn't react slowly, and he didn't blame anyone here, and immediately deployed the pursuit.

"promise!"

Ling Cao led the army, quickly separated from Zhou Yu's main force, and headed north along the way.

"Zhu Zhi!"

"exist!"

"The main force of our army goes north first, and you lead the army to stay. After solving the defenses of Liangcao and Chaisang, then go north and join us!" Zhou Yu looked far away, looked ahead, and said faintly: "I feel that next we may have to Entering into a bloody battle, you must be fully prepared, if you are fooled once, you cannot be fooled a second time!"

"promise!"

Zhu Zhi nodded.

Then Zhou Yu quickly wrote several confidential letters, and sent them out as quickly as possible. One was sent to Sun Ce. He always felt that something was wrong, so he reminded Sun Ce to withdraw his troops and go north for reinforcements. Jianye preparations.

The other one was sent back to Jianye to make Jianye prepare for defense.

There are also a few letters, which were sent to the sheriffs of several counties along the Yangtze River, ordering them to supervise the preparations.

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

In the battle of Chaisang, warships criss-crossed and both sides fought. The formation was so large that it was impossible to hide it. It didn't take a day for the Jiangdong territory to spread the rumors.

In Jianye City, Sun Jian had already been alarmed.

"Zhou Gongjin can't stop them?"

Sun Jian had already received the news that the Ming army attacked Chaisang, but he didn't take it to heart. Wu's navy was the best in the world, so how could he be afraid of Ming's navy.

But in fact, it made him a little strange.

Zhou Yu's military ability is one of the best in the Wu Kingdom, especially in the navy. Except for He Qineng who is qualified to compete, the rest are not as good as him when it comes to commanding the army.

But Zhou Yu couldn't stop the Ming Dynasty's navy, and let the Ming's navy drive straight in, entering the territory of Jiangdong, and there were quite a few of them.

This is enough to threaten the safety of many cities in Jiangdong.

However, Sun Jian did not believe that it would threaten the safety of Jianye City. Although Jianye City was on the edge of the Yangtze River, it was attacked by naval forces, and Stone City was the first pass.

Unless the waterway advances in parallel, they are qualified to threaten Jianye City. Otherwise, it is impossible to break through Jianye City without enough siege equipment just by relying on their naval forces.

Now what Sun Jian is thinking about is still the same question as Zhou Yu: "What is the plan of the Ming Dynasty?"

He summoned a group of ministers and asked them.

"Ming people have always been cunning, but now they have come in alone, they must have a plan!" All the officials were also caught in a thought, and they couldn't think of what other plans Ming had.

Now that this part of the soldiers and horses have come in, it will be difficult if they want to get out. Even if they capture a few cities, they will just fight with trapped beasts.

It was obvious that he was here to die.

This is not right.

Ming Guo is not that stupid. As the defeated general of Ming Guo for many years, Wu Guo has a courageous heart, but he does not have the slightest contempt.

The emphasis on the Ming Dynasty is the attitude of the strongest army in the world, and they always agree with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, so they don't think that the Ming Dynasty will send people to die for no reason.

"Ming's Monarch Mu Jing is a person who likes to take the edge of the sword. Whether it was his breakthrough from Guanzhong back then, or the sudden withdrawal of troops from the north into Jingzhou during the war, it was an extremely risky strategy! "

Zhang Zhao said softly: "Perhaps this time, he really wants to break the boat and take the risk of a fight. Before the princes of the world encircle the southwest, he will break the momentum of our Wu Kingdom. The King Qin must be summoned, but counting the time, even if the King Qin’s troops are mobilized, it will take more than half a month, but they will go down the river, and they will be able to enter Jianye City in at most ten days!"

"How many soldiers and horses are there in our city?"

"Twelve thousand Tiger Army!"

The Tiger Army is Sun Jian's direct descendant and belongs to the Wu State Yulin Army. It is the soldiers and horses that defend the safety of Sun Jian and Jianye City, the capital of Wu State.

Of course, Jianye City naturally has more than this amount of troops in normal times.

Now is the state of war.

Sun Ce led the main army to destroy Shanshan, Tai Shici led the northern troops to Huimeng, and He Qi's navy wiped out the pirates at sea, and suppressed the eastern part of Jiaozhou at the same time.

The rest of the troops were scattered all over the place.

The number of soldiers and horses in Jianye City has really decreased a lot.

This time is indeed the weakest time for Jianye.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Hong stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Although we all believe that it is impossible to take down our Jianye City with the main force of the Ming army's warships alone, just in case, we still summon the main force and come forward. Come to protect Jianye, after all, Jianye is the capital of our country of Wu, how can it be breached by them, even if they encounter an attack, it will create a situation of instability among the people, as long as they are wiped out on the Yangtze River, that is the best way!"

"It makes sense!"

Sun Jian nodded, agreeing with this point, he is not afraid of returning home, but he still needs to be prepared, and as the capital of Wu State, Wu State was imprisoned shortly after its establishment, and Wu State really lost face.

Only by allowing this force to encircle and suppress on the river is the best answer.

But he was in a bit of a dilemma: "But the main force of my country of Wu has tasks now. Bofu's attack on Shanyue is now at a critical time. Once he withdraws his troops, his success will fall short, and Ziyi's troops will not be able to withdraw. Only He Qi's water army, but He Qi's navy is far away on the southeast coast, news comes and goes, and when he returns with his troops, it will be too late!"

Wu Guo's military strength is indeed not very relaxed.

"I have a proposal!"

As the chief minister of Wu State, Wei Teng stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Wei Qing, please tell me!"

"Yes!" Wei Teng nodded, and said: "The second prince has always had a strategy. He won the support of the people during the flood disaster in the past. If the second son is asked to go to Wu County to ask for soldiers and recruit a group of young and strong to defend the city, it will be no more than half of the people. One month is enough, and by then my Jianye will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

Wu County is the hometown of Sun Jian and the place where the dragon rises. In Wu County, Sun Jian is so powerful that he can definitely respond to all calls and raise his arms.

Of course, the Sun family also saw Wei Teng's thoughts.

In the territory of Wu State, the powerful families have been crushed to death recently. The four great families were all joined by Sun Jian and Sun Ce, and the town was overwhelmed. Although Sun Jian's martial arts had lost [-]% to [-]% of his body, he still had his bearing, like a fierce tiger. , has never been a compromise person, Sun Ce is a small overlord, overbearing like a wild lion, and he is not a person who can be discussed at all.

At this time, if the aristocratic family wants to take a breather, they can only gather around a person who can control him as the spokesperson, the second prince Sun Quan, although he is a little younger, he is quite capable.

Moreover, Sun Quan's methods are gentle, unlike his father and brother, he does not do things so vigorously, nor does he have such great hostility towards the aristocratic family, so he is the best target for them to flock together.

They promoted Sun Quan at this time to let Sun Quan take charge of the army. Only when Sun Quan took charge of the army could he compete with Sun Ce, otherwise he would never have a chance.

As for the timing, it was well chosen.

At this time, if there was anyone who could replace Sun Jian and insist on calling troops to Jianye Qinwang, only Sun Quan was there. After all, the other children of the Sun family were not very old.

"What do you guys think?" Although Sun Jian could see through Wei Teng's thoughts, he didn't refute. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Many things should not be too strong. Although he has the power of a tiger, he can control the universe, and his mind is also heavy. He will not do everything, he has to give these aristocratic families a chance, otherwise it will easily arouse their resistance, I am afraid it is not afraid, but this will damage the strength of Wu, which is not what he wants to see.

Moreover, Sun Jian believes that neither Sun Ce nor Sun Quan are people that these aristocratic families can play with. He knows Sun Quan's character. He is black-bellied and sinister. Sometimes it becomes ruthless, even more ruthless than Sun Ce, Sun Ce is fierce, and Sun Quan is ruthless.

"Now for the stability of Jianye, this is the only strategy!"

"Wu County recruits troops at the fastest speed!"

All the ministers took a peek at each other, whether they supported Sun Ce or were neutral, there was no objection at this moment, because Jianye's security was the first.

"it is good!"

Sun Jian nodded: "An edict was issued, ordering Sun Quan to take the lonely gold order and go to Wujun to gather troops and horses. Within half a month, [-] main forces must be summoned and return to Jianye!"

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

The news of the Battle of Chaisang was not only spread in Jiangdong, but also spread back by spies from all over the country, reaching Yudu immediately.

Above the Ming Kingdom Building, Mu Jing reviewed some memorials, and soon saw Xin Zhao approaching impatiently.

"My lord!" Xin Zhao bowed on one knee.

"What's the matter?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

Recently, in order to mobilize all the main forces to face the princes of the world, he has been under a lot of pressure.

"Your Majesty, the news just came back that the Violent Bear Navy has broken through Chaisang!" Xin Zhao handed over the letter in his hand, which was sent back by flying pigeons, but it only took a day.

"So fast?"

The corner of Mujing's mouth raised a smile, which seemed to have relieved the frown that had been on his face for many days. To be honest, he seemed indifferent to this battle, but was actually worried in his heart. While watching, he asked, "What's the specific situation? "

"The Violent Bear Navy must have been blocked by Chaisang Wu's navy, and they fought a battle. The damage is unknown, but they can successfully break through Chaisang and enter the territory of Wu. The main force must have survived well!"

"Zhuge Liang vs. Zhou Yu?" Mu Jing couldn't help smiling after reading the report. Although this battle seemed insignificant, it was very meaningful.

In history, Zhou Yu was pissed off.

But in fact Zhou Yu is not so narrow-minded, but it is true that they are old enemies. Mei Zhoulang, who has supported half of the country of Wu, is one of Zhuge Liang's great enemies. If he hadn't died early, Zhuge Liang would not have Being so rampant, the Northern Expedition could fight Sima Yi for a lifetime.

Koto Mishuro's ability cannot be underestimated.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Send to the Privy Council, tell the Privy Council to order them to order the Violent Bear Second Army to go north quickly to reinforce the Violent Bear First Army!" Mu Jing thought for a while and said.

Now that the territory of Wu State has been turned upside down by him, at this time it is not obsessed with winning or losing in Wu State, but to dispatch the main force to the north.

"promise!"

A civil servant quickly led the order away.

"What's next, it's up to Gan Ning!" Mu Jing stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at Yudu City, which could be seen at a glance in front of him, and his expression became a little tense.

Jiangdong's battle is just an appetizer, but it is crucial to the upcoming battle.

This is not just a blow to Jiangdong.

There is also a method of killing chickens to scare monkeys, that is, Jiangdong will use his sword to intimidate the princes of the world. Even if they cannot scare them, at least they can calm their courage.

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

To the east of Kuaiji County, islands can be seen from time to time on the calm sea.

This is within the territory of Zhoushan.

There are many islands in Zhoushan, and it is also a place where ambushes are easy to make. You must have enough naval capabilities to gain a foothold in this place.

Recently, the main force led by General He Qi of the State of Wu has suppressed the bandits in this area, but the bandits are too cunning, and there hasn't been much progress in the past few months.

And in the east, on an unknown island, the pirates who were being wiped out gathered together to discuss major issues early.

"General Zhonglang, news has come from Jingwu Division. Two days ago, the Violent Xiong Navy of our army detained Chaisang and was entangled with the main force of the Wu army in Chaisang!"

"understood!"

Gan Ning has been exposed to the sun and rain for many years on the sea, and was blown by the howling sea wind. His whole person looks a little old. Although he is young, he is like a middle-aged man in his 40s or [-]s.

In this way, it can make him appear more deep, and he is a little more majestic to his commander Jing Ping Navy.

"He Qi's main force, where is it now?"

Gan Ning asked.

"It's about two hundred miles away from us!"

"Leave them alone!"

Gan Ning glanced around at the generals, and finally landed on Huang Zu. He almost absorbed the surrendered generals in Jingzhou, because they were drifting on the sea, so they didn't have too many scruples.

"General Huang Zu, give you a battalion of main force, can you delay them for ten days?"

"Ten days?"

Huang Zu thought for a moment.

In the past, as a general of Jingzhou, he was still the prefect of Jiangxia, and he was considered the overlord of Jingzhou. After he surrendered, he was imprisoned for more than a year. Later, he was released by a dignitary named Gan Ning. Don’t even talk about going back to Jingzhou, just kick him kicked into the sea.

It was a little disconcerting at first.

But the vastness of the sea and the feeling of being in all directions on the sea gave him a sense of belonging. His previous vision was still too short-sighted.

"should be no problem!"

Huang Zu said: "We can lure them to go south, the largest island we found is a good battlefield!"

"Then this task is entrusted to you, and it will be carried out immediately!"

Gan Ning nodded, and then swept away: "The rest of the ministries, prepare immediately, set up camp and go north. We will arrive at Jianye City within five days."
