Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: The New Biography of Guan Ping

Chapter 180 Three Jiangdong Generals

The two of them set up a small four-corner table on the top of the city tower, and put some bedding on it. A young servant had already served fruits, vegetables and warm wine.

"Master." Yin Yuan stared at the melons and fruits on the table, but did not go to take them, but raised his head and said: "Since ancient times, the land of Jiangdong has produced a large number of talents. I will follow the master from the north to the south, and we will not be able to fight in the water. Can you tell everyone?" General, if you meet a Jiangdong general, you'd better capture him, and you can also use it for your lord in the future."

Guan Ping patted his thigh, and said: "I forgot about this matter, the words of benevolence and forgiveness are very wonderful. Come on, give orders quickly. In this battle, killing the enemy is a small feat. If you can capture the enemy general, you will be the only one." Great job!"

The orderly sent the order down. [

"Forgiveness, let's drink." Guan Ping said, raising his head and drinking a cup.

Yin Yuan also took a sip, and said: "My lord, according to the reports from the scouts in Xuchang a few days ago, Cao Cao has ordered Cao Ren to lead the army to go south from Xuzhou, cross Huainan, and attack Jiangdong Wu County."

"Oh." Guan Ping's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I see, according to Renshu, what is the outcome of the Battle of Wu County?"

Yin Yuan replied: "Jiangdong will be defeated, but Cao Jun will not be able to cross the natural danger of the Yangtze River."

Guan Ping took it for granted, nodded, and asked again: "Then according to Renshu, how is the situation in Jiangdong?"

Seeing that Yin Yuan was not in a hurry, he thought he had the right words in his heart, and he said: "After Sun Bofu in Jiangdong was killed by an assassin, although his younger brother Sun Zhongmou continued his career, although the yellow-bearded boy had means, he also had Zhou Yu. , Zhang Zhao and others wholeheartedly assisted, but in the end the prestige is not enough, and the Jiangdong family has a deep foundation and strong strength, and has always refused to accept the rule of outsiders; it is still difficult to rule internally, and it has been defeated by Wujun and Jiangxia successively, and the water and land have suffered heavy losses. , there is no such thing as three or five years, I'm afraid I can't breathe, the master's move is brilliant."

"Hahaha..." Guan Ping smiled, and asked again: "What does Renshu think of the situation in Jiangxia County?"

Yin Yuan said with a smile: "After the lord's defeat of Zhou Yu, this news will definitely shake Jingzhou. Liu Biao is just looking forward to having a capable general to guard the Jiangxia barrier for him; and in this battle, the lord has shown him enough strength, even if Liu Biao wants to move My lord, I also have to weigh the strength of my subordinates; therefore, my subordinates concluded that as long as my lord treats Liu Biao respectfully and cautiously, Jiang Xia will be secure."

Guan Ping nodded with a smile, seeing the battle going on outside the city, he laughed and said: "Then Yi Renshu said that this Jiang Xia will be safe forever?"

"No." Yin Yuan shook his head anxiously, and said, "Liu Biao in Jingzhou is nothing to worry about, and his son can't achieve great things; Sun Quan in Jiangdong, although there are hidden dangers, will not be able to become powerful for a long time." Speaking of this, Yin Yuan stood up. He got up, waved his hand towards the north, and said, "Only Cao Cao in the north will be the main enemy for the next three to five years!"

Guan Ping became more and more satisfied with Yin Yuan, so he asked again: "In Renshu's opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Yin Yuandao: "Although Yuan Shao in Jizhou was killed by the Lord, his son is still alive. Although he is by no means Cao Mengde's opponent, it is not difficult to resist for a year or two; Waiting, it must not be enough, and it will not be replenished in one or two years, so my subordinates conclude that Cao Mengde will not use troops against Jingzhou in the next two or three years."

Yin Yuan's words are quite well-founded. Although Cao Cao had great ambitions in history, it was only seven years after the Battle of Guandu that he sent troops south. But that was the reason why Yuan Shao was still fighting against Cao Cao for several years before he died.
