Chapter 149 Beacon Tower
Chapter 149 Beacon Tower
In the middle of winter in the first month of the year, the cold wind is blowing. Jingkou stands on the bank of the river with mountains behind it and the river.
Zhou Yu put on his cloak and held his sword, standing in the Beigu Mountain Pavilion. The cold wind blew by, blowing his hair on the temples, revealing a melancholy and handsome face, and his eyes looked at the dangerous city of Jingkou.
After the defeat of Danyang, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu retreated to Wuhui, gathered the defeated troops, recruited common people, and gathered tens of thousands of troops.Sun Quan finally regained his strength and gathered more than 7000 troops in Wu County and Qiantang area.Sun Yu and Sun Shao stationed troops at Jingkou and recruited people from Danyang. The total number of soldiers before they were combined was [-] or [-].As for combat effectiveness, today's Sun army contains a large number of new soldiers, and the quality is definitely not as good as before.
Zhou Yu walked with his sword in hand and asked, "Zhong Yi, how is Jingkou City's war preparedness?"
Sun Yu pointed to the city defense at Jingkou and said: "With the support of Jianghuai grain and grass equipment, our army also developed city oars and equipment. The city is equipped with more than [-] strong bows and crossbows, a million arrows, and more than a thousand shields and oars. There are more than twenty bed crossbows. If Huo Jun attacks forcefully, he will definitely get a bloody head."
"If Huo Jun was concerned about the strong defense of the city and wanted to cut off the grain supply, Yu could store up grain in the city to support a large army for a year. Yu held firm at the entrance of Jingkou and occupied Huo Jun outside the Dantu Waterway. Gong Jin could lead a large army to lure him The enemy advanced deeply and defeated Liu Bei at Lize."
Huo Jun and Zhuge Liang were able to propose the combat policy of "cutting off the wings and fighting Li Ze". Coupled with Liu Bei's methods deployed in the counties of Yishan, the people of Jiangdong were not blind and could roughly guess that Liu Bei would invade Wu County from Yishan.Huo Jun will probably enter Dantu from Jingkou and then enter Lize as he did last time.
Zhou Yu deduced the march route of Huo Jun and Liu Bei, and after thinking deeply about the combat method, he suggested to Sun Quan that he could lure Liu Bei to fight deep into Taihu Lake and block Huo Jun's navy at Jingkou.That is, first defeat Liu Bei's main force, and then fight Huo Jun's navy.
From the separatist rule of Jiangdong to the retreat to Wuhui, the gap is not small.But the reality is there. Sun Quan adopted Zhou Yu's strategic opinions and appointed Zhou Yu as the commander-in-chief of the army, Zhonglang General, to oversee all the armies.After being appointed, Zhou Yu rushed from Wuxian County to Jingkou City without stopping, inspecting Jingkou City Defense and inspecting equipment.
Listening to Sun Yu's almost perfect arrangement, Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Sun Tzu said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles. Zhongyi's city defense is properly arranged, do you know what Huo Jun did?"
Sun Yu followed closely beside Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "Yu has ordered people to closely monitor Wankou. The scouts reported that Huo Jun will marry a beautiful wife and is busy with the wedding. Although the sergeants are on guard, they have no intention of offending me."
After saying that, Sun Yu hesitated a little and said: "Gong Jin, there seems to be a rumor that Huo Jun went to Lujiang and knew that the two daughters of Gong Qiao were very beautiful and married..."
Zhou Yu looked sulky, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with one hand, and interrupted: "This is just a rumor, what does the woman have to do with the war? Huo Jun must be angry to make you and others angry, don't fall into his trap!"
How could Zhou Yu not be angry about this rumor that suddenly spread in Jiangdong.Although Xiao Qiao is only his concubine, not his wife.But no matter what, as a bloody man, he can't stand it when other men peek at his woman.
"Ok!"
After his mood calmed down, Zhou Yu frowned slightly and said: "Huo Jun is a famous general in Jingchu and is good at using troops. Not long after Zhong Yi was defeated by Huo Jun, how could he slack off again? Huo Jun stationed his troops in Wankou and had the intention of peeking at Jingkou. Why now? Whether he has a wife or not, it is asserted that he has no intention of violating the law.”
"Looking at it from afar, Jingkou City seems to be solid and well-arranged by Zhong Yi, but there are also flaws to be found, and it is not indestructible!"
Sun Yu calmed down his expression, cupped his hands and said, "Please elaborate, Gong Jin."
Zhou Yu stood on the hillside, facing the cold wind, and pointed out: "The waterway from Wankou to Jingkou is thousands of miles. When the spring water starts to rise, the boats will go down the river, and it can be reached from Wankou to Jingkou in one day. I dare to ask Zhong Strangely, Huo Jun sent his troops southward, and some of his troops sneaked into the city. Under attack from both inside and outside, what's the use of the city's fortification?"
Sun Yu pondered for a while and said: "What Gong Jin said is absolutely true. The river is rushing and it can arrive in a day, so we must be prepared. Yu will go up and down the river, starting from Niuzhu to Jingkou for more than a hundred miles, and choose Gaofu to build a beacon tower. , or twenty miles, or thirty miles, with fifty troops guarding each platform; if Huo Jun leads his army across the river, open fires will be lit as a signal at night, and beacons will be lit as a warning during the day." Place the distance between the beacon towers in the north. It is often ten miles away, but if it is built along the river, the situation is different.After all, ships travel at a fast speed, unlike on land.Therefore, it is most appropriate to build beacon towers at a distance of twenty miles.
As he spoke, Sun Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "When Huo Jun's troops arrive at Niuzhu, I will know their movements at Jingkou. When the troops arrive at the city, Jingkou will be on guard. Although Huo Jun is wise, he will sigh when he approaches the city."
Zhou Yu's uneasy eyebrows also relaxed, and he said: "There are beacons on the outside to warn, and there are heavy troops guarding inside. As Zhong Yi said, when Huo Jun's soldiers arrived at the city, they also wanted to look at the city and sigh. If they advance, it will be difficult to conquer the entrance of Jing, and they will retreat. Then there is no way to fight, and all we can do is send troops to besiege the city."
After a pause, Zhou Yu warned again and said: "Money and food from the Jianghuai River enter Lize from Jingkou and are sent to Wu County. Zhong Yi has a heavy responsibility and should not be underestimated. He must be on guard day and night and not relax."
"promise!"
Sun Yu hesitated a little and asked: "Our army only has two counties in Wuhui and ten counties in Danyang. Even if we win this battle, it will be difficult for Liu Qi and Liu Bei to regain their old territory with Jingzhou as their reinforcement. In Gong Jin's opinion, , where will my Sun family go from here?"
Zhou Yu sighed and said: "Based on the current situation, Cao Cao is the most powerful, followed by Liu Biao. For the current plan, we can only use the strength of the Cao family to resist the Liu family. The terrain of Jiangzuo is unique, with Mount Yi as an obstacle. , Yuzhang and Wujun are divided on two sides. From Yuzhang to Wujun, the only feasible way is to go through Dajiang and Yishan."
"The mountain roads in Yishan are rugged, and there are only a few mountain roads from Yishan to Wuhui, all of which are rugged and difficult to navigate. Therefore, after repelling Liu Bei, we should set up passes at strategic points on the mountain roads to block the enemy in Yishan. Stay safe."
"To travel along the river, we need to seize the Jingkou and enter the Dantu Waterway. Therefore, our army can build deep into the city wall, obey the Cao family, and get the help of the Jianghuai River to resist the Jingzhou Navy."
Zhou Yu still has excellent strategic vision and knows the future direction of the Sun family.At present, the Sun family has lost the qualification to separate one side. The only hope is to defeat Liu Bei in this battle, obey Cao Cao, and use the power to separate the two counties of Wuhui.
Sun Yu understood in his heart, raised his hand to Zhou Yu and said: "Please rest assured that Gong Jin will assist my subordinates. Yu and Gong Li (Sun Shao) swear to guard the entrance of Jingkou."
Sun Quan was able to separatize six counties in Jiangdong, and he had an inseparable relationship with the Sun family in the early days.They sat in charge of the place and helped Sun Quan consolidate his position.
Now at the critical moment of Sun Quan's rule, the people Sun Quan can only trust are people from the Sun clan, not generals with other surnames.The core of Zhou Yu's ability to gain Sun Quan's trust lies in Zhou Yu's past performance, which earned him Sun Quan's trust.
Zhou Yu also held up his hands and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured Zhong Yi, guard the entrance of Jingkou and prevent the Jingzhou navy from entering Lize. Then Yu will have a plan to defeat the enemy."
Facing the pincer offensive of Huo Jun and Liu Bei, Zhou Yu had a simple way to deal with it.That is to say, Sun Yu guarded the entrance of Jingkou and blocked Huo Jun from outside the Dantu Waterway. He lured Liu Bei into Taihu Lake, defeated Liu Bei with the help of the navy's strength, and broke Liu Bei's offensive. Huo Jun's navy would most likely retreat without a fight.
As for whether Liu Bei would take the bait, it can only be said that Liu Bei had to go deep into Taihu Lake.If Liu Bei stops moving forward, Jiangdong Navy can attack Huo Jun's troops under Jingkou City from Dantu Waterway.Only by constantly approaching Wu County could Liu Bei contain Sun Quan's army.
ps: The situation is not right today, so I can only do two updates. I will start the third update tomorrow.
