The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 533 532 Jingzhou Changes Owner (4)

The arrival of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is a joyous event for Zhou Yu. He has elite soldiers under his command, but no strong generals. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are invincible and brave on the battlefield. Now they The two came to seek refuge, which made Zhou Yu feel even more powerful.

Perhaps, with the help of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's force, he can reverse Jiangdong's passive situation.

Zhou Yu approached Guan Yu and Zhang Fei personally in Chaisang City, and arranged a residence for them. A three-entry mansion located in the east of the city was originally the residence of the magistrate of Chaisang County. Later, Sun Ce crossed the river and captured Chaisang County. Although Ling surrendered, when Sun Ce learned that the county magistrate bullied men and women and fished the people, Sun Ce, who had always been jealous, beheaded the county magistrate and confiscated his family property under Zhou Yu's suggestion, and then avenged many people in the county. .

It is precisely because of this that Sun Ce gained support in Chaisang and gradually gained a firm foothold.After the death of the county magistrate, Sun Ce lived in this house. After Sun Ce captured Yuzhang, he moved his family to Nanchang, and he rewarded Zhou Yu with this house.

But Zhou Yu didn't live in it, but vacated the house, unexpectedly it came in handy at this time.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are very grateful for Zhou Yu's warm hospitality, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also planning to use Jiangdong's army to avenge his elder brother Liu Bei, and Zhou Yu also wants to use Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to expand the territory, and Jingzhou is Jiangdong. The goal, although the two sides have different ideas, but the purpose is the same, the two sides hit it off, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stayed, Zhou Yu wrote a secret letter and asked someone to hand it to Sun Quan, asking Sun Quan to seal Guan Yu and Zhang Fei General, and also wrote his plan to capture Jingzhou.

Two days later, Sun Quan, who was in Nanchang, received a letter from Zhou Yu. After reading the contents of the letter, Sun Quan was also overjoyed.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two thousand-thousand-thousand enemies, came to join Jiangdong, which undoubtedly injected a fresh vitality into Jiangdong. Sun Quan never stingy with rewards. In addition, he personally brought a large number of gifts to Caisang to meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and discussed with Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others how to win Jingzhou.

Sun Quan came to Chaisang personally with a gift, just to meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two thousand-thousand enemies. He had heard of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei before, but he had no chance to meet them. I want to have such powerful generals as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as their minions.It's a pity that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's sworn brothers, and it is almost impossible to get them here.

But God seems to be looking after Sun Quan, or maybe his elder brother Sun Ce appeared in the sky and blessed Jiangdong. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to seek refuge in Jiangdong by accident, which made Sun Quan very happy.

Liu Bei's death created a great opportunity for Sun Quan. Since Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong troops defeated Zhang Yan's land and water army one after another last time, Jiangdong's morale has risen. Also burned again.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Quan conquered Jiaozhou in the south, took half of Jiaozhou without any effort, and forced the governor of Jiaozhou, Shi Xie, to attach himself. Form an army to make up for the shortage of troops in Jiangdong.

Under Sun Quan's vigorous promotion, Shanyue can also intermarry with the Han people and maintain a peaceful coexistence. He also proposed a cooperation policy of prosperity for all and loss for all, allowing Shanyue to pay a small amount of taxes and giving some privileges to the people of Shanyue , let them maintain the original rules in their place of residence, and implement the policy of "one country, two systems".

After the peace talks, the Han people in Jiangdong and Shanyue basically stopped hating each other, and began to accept each other gradually. In order to set an example, Sun Quan even married the daughter of the chief of Shanyue. Most of them married the daughters or younger sisters or relatives of the Shanyue chiefs, relying on political marriages to ease the conflict between Jiangdong Han people and Shanyue.

In addition, Sun Quan also specially set up several unique seats in Nanchang. Whenever there is a matter involving war, the leaders of Shanyue headed by the chief of Shanyue will come to attend the meeting.

Although Sun Quan's approach was opposed by some veterans at the time, he had to admit that Sun Quan's approach was very effective. Within half a year after the peace talks, there was no conflict between the Han people and Shanyue, and the two sides have always maintained a state of non-aggression , This is much better than before, attacking each other without fighting at all ages.

Moreover, Sun Quan also allowed Jiangdong to completely come out of the quagmire of the original war with Shanyue, and let Sun Quan solve the things that were not resolved in the era of his brother Sun Ce. This has to be said that Sun Quan's ability is great.

It was cold winter, and it was snowing heavily again. Sun Quan braved the wind and snow to come in person, which surprised Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan would attach so much importance to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. At the same time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also He was moved and determined to join Sun Quan in overthrowing Liu Qi's rule in Jingzhou while taking revenge.

And Sun Quan hit it off with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as well. Sun Quan was relatively young, and he was very humble towards Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. I feel that Sun Quan is a person who can be respectful to corporals. Regardless of whether it is sincere or not, this kind of performance can basically make Guan Yu and Zhang Fei make up their minds to follow Sun Quan from then on.

That night, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others had a long talk together. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu learned some basic information about Jingzhou from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and agreed to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's request to send troops to avenge their elder brother.

Now that the end of the new year is approaching, all parts of the country must be immersed in the festivities of the New Year. Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others discussed and finally decided to launch an attack on Jingzhou on the night of the New Year's Eve.

Based on the weakness of Jingzhou's existing troops, several people formulated a set of combat plans, preparing to target the four counties in southern Jingzhou.Liu Bei once served as the governor of Jingnan. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also in Jingnan for several years, and their connections were all in Jingnan. The matter in Jiaozhou has always been kept secret, and Jingzhou doesn't know about it at all.

Therefore, Sun Quan decided to send Zhu Ran, the governor of Guangzhou, to lead Pan Zhang, Tan Xiong, and Ling Cao to attack Guiyang and Lingling counties from the south, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops to attack Changsha and Wuling counties respectively. The army jointly flanked the four counties in southern Jing, and then launched an attack suddenly on New Year's Eve. It would definitely have the effect of catching them off guard and taking them by surprise.

However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the armies of the two armies must rush to the county towns of the four counties in advance, and then attack at the same time.

At this time, there are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, which is enough for Sun Quan and the others to make full preparations.

Several people also agreed to this battle plan. The next day, Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu to guard Chaisang to prevent the enemies in Jiangbei, and he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back to Nanchang. , is a newly formed army, an army composed entirely of Shanyue people.

Shanyue people are famous for being brave and ruthless, and the folk customs are also very tough. The men of Shanyue are all brave and good at fighting, and they are natural soldiers.However, Shanyue people are used to being free and undisciplined, and they don't like to be restrained.Therefore, in the era of Sun Ce, although the Shanyue people were strong, they often lost to Sun Ce's army in large army battles. Sun Ce was always able to defeat the Shanyue people's attacks with less.

After Sun Quan married Shanyue, he recruited [-] Shanyue people to join the army, and he himself trained them. The purpose of the training was only to make the Shanyue people follow orders. Although the Shanyue people never convinced anyone, they were divided into high and low. Generally subordinate to the noble people of Shanyue, the great chief of Shanyue is the leader of the whole Shanyue, and he was called the king before.

In the era of Sun Ce, there were many Shanyue chiefs who claimed to be kings, and they were not subordinate to each other. However, in the subsequent battle with Sun Ce, the rest of the Shanyue tribes were weakened. Only this Shanyue king had a brain and did not challenge Sun Ce.Therefore, after the armistice between Shanyue and Sun Ce, King Shanyue took the opportunity to lead his troops to invade the territories of other kings, and gradually unified the rest of the tribes, becoming the largest and most powerful branch in Shanyue.

The great chief of Shanyue, surnamed Peng and named Hu, is the leader of the local Shanyue Peng clan. Under his leadership, this branch of Shanyue grew stronger and stronger, and finally deterred the surrounding Shanyue, thus becoming the leader of all Shanyue, known as the Great chief.

Sun Quan married Peng Hu's daughter, so Sun Quan was also Peng Hu's son-in-law. Most of the Shanyue army came from the Peng family, so they had a kind of respect for Sun Quan. During Sun Quan's training, they gradually mastered some The discipline of the regular army has now become a more disciplined elite soldier.

Elite soldiers return to elite soldiers, but they lack strong future leaders. The arrival of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei undoubtedly gave this army wings, allowing these elite soldiers to soar freely in the air and become the wings of Sun Quan in the future!

After Sun Quan brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Nanchang, he handed over the army to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and each of them commanded 5000 people.

However, the Shanyue people were extremely difficult to tame. The reason why they obeyed Sun Quan was because Sun Quan was the son-in-law of their great chief, and they dared not offend them.But who are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they have never heard of them.

Sun Quan brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the front of this army, pointed to the army below the platform and said, "General Guan, General Zhang, this is the army I want to give you. They are all Shanyue people, and they are extremely difficult to be defeated." Tame, whether you can obey your orders depends on your ability."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sneered when they heard this, and there was a trace of expectation in Sun Quan's words, as if he was waiting for them to do something.

So, Guan Yu took a step forward, and just as he was about to step down, Zhang Fei stopped him, and said to Guan Yu, "Second brother, you can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, I'll just go."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei stepped off the general platform with big strides...
