Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 493

"My lord's words are true. I don't know what Sun Quan is thinking. Wang Can is going to Xudu. If Zhen Yao is in charge of the Jiangnan tea ceremony, he can just go there. If he is going to Yingzhou, then let Zixing Work hard."

"Teacher." Deng Ai walked in from the outside, and Baihutang was where Dianman and Deng Ai could come and go. "Lu Xun is waiting outside."

"Please come in."

"My lord, the latest news. Liu Bei went south to take four counties, Zhou Yu attacked Jiangling in the north, and Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, personally led the army to Hefei."

"Sun Quan is confused!" Zhou Cang slapped the table angrily, and stood up, a little bit angry.

Lu Xun looked helpless. According to seniority, Sun Quan was the father-in-law's younger brother, so he had to call him uncle, so naturally he couldn't comment.

"Oh." Zhou Wen also sighed and shook his head.

Deng Ai said with a smile: "Although Sun Quan's move is not good for Jiangdong, it is not harmful for me in Xuzhou. Why should the teacher worry about him? Perhaps it is a good thing for Sun Quan to put down his anxiety after suffering a little bit, so as not to make a big mistake. "

Hehe, he was fooled, Zhou Cang smiled slightly, and sat down: "Bo Yan, does the Chief of Staff have any deduction?"

"Returning to my lord, Liu Fu, the governor of Yangzhou, has just died of illness. Maybe Lord Wu wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take Hefei and take the opportunity to manage Huainan. According to the inference of the staff, there is about [-]% certainty in going to Hefei, but even if Hefei is captured, it may be impossible to defend." We can’t stop, let alone seek Huainan. Lujiang has Cao Xiu, Shouchun has Li Tong, and Jiangxia’s Wenpin echoes them. It is not easy to attack the city, and most of them will return without success.”

Zhou Wen was not satisfied with Lu Xun's answer. Anyone with a bit of military common sense or a bit of strategy would make this judgment, and the staff department is not for this. "There are many resourceful men in Jiangdong, and Sun Quan may not think that Cao Cao is vulnerable because of his victory in the battle of Chibi. Then why did Sun Quan send troops?"

Before Lu Xun could answer, Deng Ai said, "How can Zhou Yu monopolize great achievements?"

Zhou Cang looked at Deng Ai deeply, thinking in his heart that you can see clearly when you are outside the game, I only hope that you can also think clearly when you are in the game, don't want to end up being killed after breaking Shu.

Naturally, Lu Xun would not talk about Jiangdong's right and wrong, since Deng Ai made it clear, he was so happy that he didn't waste his time talking. "The Chief of Staff deduced that with Zhou Yu's intelligence and more prestige, he might be able to win Jingzhou. Although Cao Ren was a general, he led a group of suspicious people and was a guest army. It was difficult to defeat Zhou Yu, so he would lose to Xiangfan. According to my calculations, At most, Zhou Yu would take Xiangyang again and stop at Fancheng. As for Jiangxia, Wenpin is a veteran general of Jingzhou. Jiangdong will take the two counties of Nanjun and Xiangyang; Liu Bei will take the four counties of Jingnan. After that, it is not easy to deduce, it depends on the strategy of the three parties rather than the military.”

In other words, when Jingzhou is divided into three, the three families will be unable to fight again, and the next step will be diplomatic and strategic warfare, especially the Sun and Liu families. After Cao Cao returns to the north, how long will their alliance last?
Everyone nodded in agreement with Lu Xun's inference, but Zhou Wen was still entangled in Sun Quan.

"Bo Yan, you and Deng Ai continue to keep an eye on the war in Jingzhou. Zixing, you go and tell Zhongxuan to go to Xudu." Zhou Cang only left Zhou Wen behind, and he didn't need to have any scruples when talking to him.

"My lord, although Deng Ai's words are reasonable, I thought it would never be that simple!"

"Huh? What does Yuanfang think?"

"Zhou Lang's merits surpass the master." Zhou Wen sighed, "If the master doubts the minister, the minister will die; if the minister doubts the master, the minister will rebel!"

Self-destruction of the Great Wall has been common since ancient times, and there are countless doubts among the masters. The four generals of the Warring States Period: Lian Po, Li Mu, Bai Qi, and Wu Qi were like this. The veteran Wang Jian was spared. liquidation.Not to mention Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan after the Three Kingdoms.

"Is Yuan Fang worried about Zhou Lang?"

"Hehe, why do I worry about him? I'm worried about Xuzhou. With Zhou Yu around, Cao Cao might be afraid three times. If Zhou Yu isn't around, only I, Xuzhou, can contend against him. I, Xuzhou, are alone." Zhou Wen sighed again, " It's a pity that Xuzhou is not prepared enough now. If we can form an alliance with Zhou Yu at this time... I understand why Sun Quan didn't send someone to report the victory. Sun Zhongmou, at a young age, has a lot of scheming, hehe, even if there is no Zhou Yu in Jiangdong, I am afraid Can hold a corner."

Sun Quan had ambitions, so he would not attack Cao Cao overwhelmed.The most uncomfortable thing now is Zhou Yu, and Zhou Cang is in deep thought.Sun Quan will shrink back in the next step, what about Cao Cao?In addition to repairing the wounds left by Chibi, what will be done, whether to continue to attack Jingzhou, or to seek Hanzhong from Guanzhong, or simply send troops to Xuzhou.

It seems that the plan for Xianbei will be postponed, and Liaodong will now enter the stage of strategic defense. Fortunately, Zang Ba is in Jilin, and only the direction of Xuantu is under pressure. Liang Guang, Pei Yuanshao, Pei Feng, Liu Zhi, Wang Ji, and Tai Shixiang's navy in Xiangping are enough to support the defense.

"Send an order to Qu'a to lead the Cracking Camp back to Xuzhou." Zhou Cang ordered.In this way, Xuzhou will have Xu Huang, Chen Dao, Liao Hua, Qu'a, Zhuge Dan, Cao Xing, Wei Xu's seven battalions of 12 infantry, Huang Zhong's first battalion of cavalry, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Sun Da, and Sun Xing. Five battalions of [-] sailors, [-] regular troops, plus independent battalions and other troops, can advance, attack, retreat, or defend.

"Again, Xu Huang and Liao Hua stationed troops in Pi; Chen Dao and Zhuge Dan stationed troops in Pengcheng." The two areas were originally undefended, and Zhou Cang sent two battalions to each, and Zhou Cang only temporarily stationed them when he went to Yecheng. Surprisingly, it is now officially stationed.

"Order again, Cao Xing and Wei Xu will train the garrison battalion." The garrison battalion originally had 5000 people, which were only used for local defense and non-combat troops. Huang Xu took away [-] people and [-] people. "Lu Xun and Deng Ai participated in military training together."

"Again, Sun Da and Sun Xing send people to the estuaries of the Yellow River and Haihe River to inspect whether water fortresses can be built and whether they can accommodate large troops to land." The Eight-Power Allied Forces landed in Tianjin to attack Beijing via the Bohai Sea. If the current geographical conditions permit, Then you can go straight to Youzhou and Jizhou from the sea.

"Yuanfang, go to the Finance and Taxation Department and the commercial firm again, and count how much food and grass are available at present."

Zhou Cang issued several military orders one after another, covering both defense and war preparation.Zhou Wen was delighted that the lord was finally going to compete in the world.

"By the way, you tell the Department of Finance and Taxation that from now on, the commercial and trade tariffs in all places except Jiangdong will be increased by [-]%."

"Hehe, good. I'll do it right away!" Zhou Wen said, but he didn't rush to leave. He looked at Zhou Cang with a smile, which made Zhou Cang a little nervous. "My lord, Wu Gang has good news. I don't know the new wife?"

"Uh..." Zhou Cang drove Zhou Wen away with a wave of his hand, and called Dianman to let him secretly go to the college to invite a doctor from the gynecology department. Zhou Wen reminded Zhou Cang that there seemed to be signs of two wives who seemed to be happy.
