The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 530 529 Jingzhou Changes Owner (1)

Liu Biao is dead, Liu Bei is also dead, and Liu Qi is still immersed in grief. Sima Yi alone is in charge of all affairs in Jingzhou, and Liu Qi also trusts Sima Yi. fall sick.

After Liu Bei's death, Sima Yi began to mourn for Liu Biao, and chose an auspicious day to bury Liu Biao.

Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for more than ten years, protecting the environment and the people, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition, Jingzhou has become more and more stable during his tenure.While recruiting refugees, Liu Biao reclaimed wasteland and built water conservancy projects. In a few years, there were tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land on the Jianghan Plain.With these favorable factors, Jingzhou's agricultural production has also stepped up to a higher level. It has been a bumper harvest for five consecutive years. It can be said that the people in Jingzhou are relatively rich, and every family has surplus food. Even the government's granary is blocked. full of.

Liu Biao died, and almost the whole Jingzhou was immersed in grief. When the people learned that Liu Biao was assassinated by Liu Bei and sent someone to assassinate him, they hated Liu Bei even more.

Poor Liu Bei fought hard for half his life as a soldier, but in the end he was decapitated, his reputation was ruined, and he was accused and reviled by thousands of people after his death.

Although Liu Bei was dead, his sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still alive. Sima Yi did not agree with Liu Qi's order to kill Liu Bei's nine clans, but when he wanted to stop it, he found that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had led him to kill Liu Bei. Liu Bei's family members have already gone to Jiangdong.

This is extremely bad news for Sima Yi. After all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are invincible, brave and good at fighting, and they are brave and crowned the three armies. Even if they can't be used by him, at least they must be killed.But now, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have fled to Jiangdong. If the Sun family in Jiangdong takes Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in, it will increase their strength a lot.

In the past one or two months, Jingzhou has been in turmoil. First, Liu Biao's virtual expedition failed, then Cai's party was killed, and then Liu Bei conspired against him. A series of events developed and made the originally powerful Jingzhou weak.Although there are still nearly [-] soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers and horses is definitely not as good as that of the Jiangdong Army that lives on the knife edge.

Since Sun Ce came to Jiangdong, the Jiangdong army has gradually become stronger in blood and fire. They fought against Zhang Yan, Shanyue, and Liu Zei, almost every year.Therefore, in the fight of blood and fire, the Jiangdong Army gradually became stronger and bigger, and the overall strength of the soldiers was much higher than that of the more comfortable Jingzhou Army. Borrowing troops, or directly suggesting that the Jiangdong Army attack Jingzhou, then these soldiers and horses in Jingzhou may not be able to resist.

Therefore, Sima Yi was not at ease.Now that Liu Qi is sick in bed, Sima Yi is the only one making decisions in Jingzhou. For Sima Yi, the pressure is indeed not small.

However, this is exactly what Sima Yi wanted. He went undercover in Jingzhou in order to get the power of Jingzhou under his own hands, and then persuade Liu Qi to surrender to Zhang Yan, so that Zhang Yan could take Jingzhou without bloodshed.

Therefore, in the land of Jingzhou, Sima Yi absolutely does not allow outsiders to take a share of the pie.

Sima Yi planned for a rainy day, and directly called Wenpin and Li Tong, and asked them to lead the army quickly, go down the Han River, and go to Jiangxia to garrison to prevent the Jiangdong army from taking advantage of the situation.

In addition, Sima Yi also transferred Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to Changsha. If the Jiangdong Army invaded Jiangxia, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan would send troops from Changsha to attack the Jiangdong Army from behind.If the Jiangdong Army attacks Changsha, let Wenpin and Li Tong attack the Jiangdong Army's rear.

Sima Yi asked Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wenpin, and Li Tong to divide their troops into two armies. Each army led [-] troops. Huang Zhong and Wenpin were the main generals, while Wei Yan and Li Tong were the deputy generals. Changsha is stationed.

There were a total of 10 people in Xiangyang City. Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wenpin, Li Tong and others took away 6 people, leaving only 4 people to defend Xiangyang City. , Li Tong's worry.Because after Liu Bei's death, Zhang Xiu led the army directly to the junction of Nanyang and Xiangyang, and put all his troops in Deng County, eyeing Xiangyang. Does the enemy create convenience?

For this reason, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong expressed their opinions one after another, asking Sima Yi to mobilize a small amount of troops as much as possible, and not to mobilize so many troops at once.

Sima Yi understood the worries of the four generals Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong very well. He said: "I am here in Xiangyang, so you don't need to worry. I will not cross the border. I have a way to deal with the enemies from the north. However, what I am really worried about is not the enemies in the north, but Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Sun Quan has a feud with Jingzhou, and the Sun family has coveted Jingzhou for a long time. This time Jingzhou What happened in Zizi, and there were not many soldiers and horses left on the border with Jiangdong. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to Jiangdong again. After all, Liu Bei's death was also inseparable from Jingzhou. He intends to aim at Jingzhou and confuse Zhou Yu to send troops to deal with Jingzhou. Moreover, Zhou Yu himself is eyeing Jingzhou, but because of the lack of generals who are used to fighting, he dare not act rashly. If Zhou Yu knows that Liu Bei is dead and so many things happened in Jingzhou, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to seek refuge again, so they will definitely not miss this opportunity, and it is very likely that they will lend troops to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to fight for Jingzhou, while he himself will sit in Chaisang, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then plan a good strategy."

After a pause, Sima Yi continued: "If you don't lead to the garrison immediately, once Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrive at Chaisang, and Zhou Yu sends troops, who can resist such an elite army?"

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong were indifferent and stopped talking, feeling that Sima Yi was thinking far enough.

"Military commander, why do you want us to divide our troops into two groups and stay in two places? In this way, wouldn't our troops be too scattered? It would be better to concentrate all our troops and fight Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the death. As long as we kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Fei, then Jiangdong is nothing to worry about." Wei Yan said.

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the enemies of thousands of people, and Zhou Yu is resourceful. Together, the three of them must be a force to be reckoned with. What we have to do is to hold back the enemy." , to prevent the enemy from attacking Jingzhou, and when the enemy sends troops, he always has scruples and keeps the enemy out of Jingzhou as much as possible.”

After Huang Zhong listened, displeasure appeared on his face, and he said to Sima Yi: "Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave and good at fighting, I am not a vegetarian. Personally, I still have some understanding, and the martial arts of the old man may not necessarily be inferior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If the military master gives me three thousand soldiers and horses, let me be the vanguard, I will go to meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in person, and kill them both. Take the human head and present it to the army, why is it so mobilizing the army?"

After hearing this, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong all echoed, clamoring that they would fight Guan Yu and Zhang Fei alone, that they could capture Guan Yu and Zhang Fei alive, or behead them.

Sima Yi said: "Your martial arts are very good, but when the two armies are fighting, the competition is the strength of the army, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts are too strong. If you fight alone, I am worried about your safety..."

"Military master, don't raise other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. I don't believe in evil. If I don't bring the heads of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, I will never come back!" As soon as Huang Zhong's voice fell, he clasped his fist at Sima Yi, and then Turn around and go out.

Sima Yi hurriedly shouted: "General Huang... Don't be impulsive, General Huang... General Huang..."

Huang Zhong ignored Sima Yi at all, left the government office, jumped on his horse, gathered two hundred cavalry from the army, and left Xiangyang City, galloping in the direction of Chaisang. What Sima Yi said just now, Enraged Huang Zhong, he insisted on going to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to compete.

Sima Yi saw that Huang Zhong was gone, and hurriedly said to Wei Yan: "General Huang's going is bound to be dangerous. General Wei, I trouble you to take two thousand cavalry to catch up with General Huang. No matter what, you must bring General Huang back. .”

Wei Yan nodded, turned around and left the hall, but he was thinking secretly: "General Huang is outstanding in martial arts, so he may not lose to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If General Huang can defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then it will be a great achievement." If I lead the troops to arrest Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is also a credit, if I don't take this kind of credit, wouldn't it be too wasteful?"

After thinking about this, Wei Yan snickered. He happened to lead two thousand cavalry to follow Huang Zhong closely, and when Huang Zhong met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he would hold the battle for Huang Zhong and let Huang Zhong go as he wished. In the battle, if he wins, he also has credit. If he loses, the fault is entirely Huang Zhong's, and he has nothing to do with it. Why not do this best-of-both-worlds solution.

After Huang Zhong and Wei Yan left, Sima Yi immediately said to Wen Pin and Li Tong: "Huang Zhong must have gone to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei desperately, and Wei Yan may not be able to bring Huang Zhong back. Wan Dajun, General Wen went to Jiangxia, and General Li went to Changsha, and they were stationed separately, making preparations before the battle, and always paying attention to the situation in Jiangdong."

After all, Wenpin and Li Tong were promoted by Sima Yi, so they obeyed Sima Yi's words. They both nodded, said "here", and left separately.

After leaving the government office, Wenpin and Li Tong went to the barracks. They ordered their own soldiers and horses, and divided them into two groups. Tong led the way to Xiajun, Changsha, and the two armies formed the horns of each other. If one line was in trouble, the other line would send a large army to attack the Jiangdong army's rear, disrupt the Jiangdong army, and force the Jiangdong army to withdraw.

At this time, more than 6 troops were suddenly lost in Xiangyang City, which inevitably made people feel a little worried. Brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue heard that Sima Yi had mobilized a large number of troops out of the city, so they couldn't sit still anymore. They went together and went to the government office together to find Sima Yi and ask what happened.
