Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 635 Let's wait and see what happens
"Send someone to Liyang to transfer Wu Gang and Sun Li."

The Lightning Battalion was disabled, so they had to use Xuan Jiaqi.It is estimated that Hebei's Qingqi elites have already followed Qu'a to the north for training. If Gan Ning builds a navy smoothly, Li Yang's defensive pressure will be greatly reduced.

"Order Wang Can to follow Zhuge Jin to Jiangdong to meet Sun Quan, not mentioning it in advance, but to explore Sun Quan's posture first."

"Munan, send out the secret agents, keep an eye on Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and report any news!"

"Bo Yan, before Wu Gang and others arrive, the defense of Qingzhou must be stepped up, so that Cao Cao cannot take advantage of it."

"My lord, do you want General Wu to recruit troops in Xuzhou?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Conscription? It's better to be exempted." Zhou Cang thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Let's change to recruiting soldiers. Those who join the army will be given one or two jin as a settling allowance, and those who have been in the army for more than one year will be given ten zhiqian per month as salary. It will start next year.”

Next year, banks and money houses in Xuzhou and Qingzhou will start operating. Naturally, the salaries will not be sent to the soldiers, but will be stored in the banks. Zhou Cang decided to print small military tickets in addition to the silver tickets.The military pay proposed by Xu Shu two years ago is finally going to be implemented. Zhou Cang believes that this large amount of military expenditure is definitely worth the money, and the stability of the people and the army is the magic weapon for long-term combat.

"Could it be possible to transfer Yu Wenze back to solve the urgent need first?" Lu Xun suggested.Yu Jin has been training troops in Taizhou for a year, and he has 2 people under his command, which may be of great use.

Zhou Wen seconded, "I think it's feasible. Now I'm most afraid of Sun Quan's betrayal. Although Yu Jin can send troops across the sea, he can't quench his thirst at a distance."

"Let Yu Jin become an enemy of Cao Cao, the time has not yet come." Zhou Cang sighed, if Yu Jin's situation is not good and he betrays the water again, it will be a great disaster, and he cannot take this risk. "Tune Huang Xu, transfer Huang Xu back from Yingzhou to fight side by side with Huang Zhong!"

"Oh, I sent someone to erect a statue of Cao Xing at the Martyr's Shrine. I can't hang it in person, so Zhou Xin can go for me." Zhou Cang sighed deeply. "In addition, don't spread the news about Wei Xu's death in battle, especially don't let Mrs. Yan know."

Wei Xu is Yan's natal brother, and her only relative besides her daughter, son-in-law and grandson. Qu'a and Lu Qiling are away, so Yan can't make any mistakes.

Almost at the same time as Zhou Cang, Cao Cao also received Zhang Liao's battle report in Chendu.

"Wen Yuan is angry." Cao Cao laughed.Winning Fengyang added more variables to the already complicated Huainan: first, continue to implement Jia Xu's plan to kill three birds with one stone; second, send troops to Shouchun and take Xu Huang down. With the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, they finally captured the city by borrowing Wang Hou's head. Xu Huang is a famous general, not a mob under Yuan Shu's subordinates. He may not be able to win if he only sends one general to the city; Spring, but if Sun Quan is not beneficial, he will definitely work without effort, and Sun Quan may not send troops; fourth, let Sun Quan go to fetch Shouchun, although it is beneficial, but Sun Quan has not been firmly tied to his boat. Sun Quan may not He will offend Zhou Cang because of this benefit; fifth, while Xu Huang's army is out and Xuzhou is empty, he will directly attack Xuzhou with a drudgery, but Zhou Cang may not be unprepared.

Sima Yi suggested that Jia Xu's strategy should still be implemented, and that Shouchun would not be attacked for the time being. Cao Cao would not move, and Zhou Cang would not dare to move. Shouchun's food and grass were limited, and it would be exhausted within a year or so at most.Using this period of time, Cao Ren lured Guan Yu, and Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou, so that Hanzhong would be stable, and Sun Quan also tied himself to Cao Cao's boat. At this time, if Sun Quan was ordered to attack Shouchun, Sun Quan could only agree, and Xu Huang would also run out of food, Shouchun Now, at the same time, pretend to attack Qingzhou and send a general to attack Xuzhou, great things will happen!

Cao Cao thought so. In view of Zhu Ling's performance, Cao Cao sent Li Dian to Qiaojun to echo Zhang Liao, and did not prepare for the next attack on Xuzhou; Ling changed to Zhennan General and went south to assist Cao Ren.Lu Qian, who performed outstandingly, was the governor of Xuzhou and served as the prefect of Qiao County.

At the end of July, Wang Can followed Zhuge Jin to Jianye to meet Sun Quan, congratulated Sun Quan on his acquisition of Hefei, and politely declined the proposal to become king.

"Hahaha. I know that Zhou Weiguo can only let me take Hefei." Sun Quan laughed. "I heard that Zhang Wenyuan attacked Fengyang again, so he will ask me for something."

Zhang Zhao quickly said: "If Zhou Cang asks again, my lord is not in a hurry to agree. Now Zhou Cao is on the verge of firing. Let's wait and see what happens."

Yu Fan laughed and said, "It's in my interest for the two of them to fight. If you intervene too early, you will inevitably become a pawn. What Zibu said is true."

As he became the decisive figure in the battle situation, Jiangdong Wenwu spoke with full confidence.Sun Quan gritted his teeth secretly, hating Guan Yu, he dared to look down on me, and call you good-looking sooner or later.

In August of the 21st year of Jian'an, according to Cao Cao's order, Cao Ren left Man Chong, Li Xu, and Li Ji to guard Fancheng, and led an army of [-] to attack Xiangyang with Xiao general Niu Jin.Guan Yu was furious when he heard the report, so he left Zhao Lei to defend Xiangyang, and led Guan Ping to fight.

Niu Jin relied on his bravery to confront Guan Ping, Guan Ping feigned defeat, and led Niu Jin into an ambush set by Guan Yu. Cao Ren rescued Niu Jin during the melee, losing thousands of people, and retreated all the way to Fancheng.Guan Yu was victorious, Ma Liang advised Guan Yu that Jingzhou should not be far away, and Cao Ren was not too damaged to attack, so Guan Yu led his troops back to Xiangyang.

Zhu Ling was so disheartened in Fengyang, this time with nearly 2 soldiers from the Seventh Army, he tried his best to save face.It rained continuously and the roads were not smooth. Zhu Ling recruited civilians from all over the country to pave roads and build bridges for the army, and distributed money and food to the counties and counties.Zhang Gu, the magistrate of Luhun County, was forced by Zhu Ling's lust and had to send the people to serve in corvée. There was a commotion in Luhun County. The strong man Sun Lang called a group of brothers around him to rebel, killed the county magistrate, and led more than a thousand people to go south to join Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was overjoyed, and immediately appointed Sun Langya as a general, and issued it to Yinshou, so that Sun Lang could respond to the tyrants from all over the country, and all those who responded were given official positions, so thieves and desperadoes gathered everywhere.The officials and people of Nanyang County could not bear the hardships of corvée. Hou Yin and Wei Kai, the guards of Wancheng, were bewitched by Sun Lang, and led their men to rebel.

Sun Lang reported the change of Wancheng to Guan Yu. Ma Liang thought that Hou Yin and others were unknown people who could not achieve great things, but Guan Yu believed that the opportunity was not to be missed, and led Guan Ping out of Xiangyang.During the rainy season, Guan Yu mobilized the Jingzhou navy to gather and stand by.In order to guard against Jiangdong, he ordered Ma Liang, Zhao Lei, Fu Shiren, Hao Pu and others to build beacon towers and strengthen their defenses.

Zhu Ling led the army. As the first follower of Cao Cao, he was too eager to win to improve his status. In order to show his talent, he thought of replicating the battle of Fengyang and preparing to confront Guan Yu in the rain. Camps were set up in the area of ​​Jizhangang and Yujiagang, and 2 people were divided into seven camps to block Guan Yu's way.
