Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 774
Winning first and then losing, Sima Yi came out of the mountain, which really made Zhou Cang anxious. Fortunately, he transferred Han Long to the south and almost lost a general.Seeing that the battle in Yuzhou was at a stalemate, Sun Quan sent an emergency message, and Cao Pi came to Jingzhou!

It is conceivable that the four counties in Jingnan will be handed over to the big man in the future. It is impossible for Sun Quan to fight to the death with Wei Jun here. If Zhou Cang does not send troops, Sun Quan will definitely pack up and leave.Jingnan must not fall into the hands of Cao Pi!

Pei Yuanshao sent himself a private letter, saying that Zhou Xin wanted to lead the army.However, Zhou Cang did not intend to let Zhou Xin go to Huainan after much deliberation, but went to Jingnan to receive the four counties to resist Cao Pi.Zhou Cang ordered Zhou Xin and Pei Yuanshao to take over Jingnan in advance, and asked Nanyue King Sun Quan to provide food and grass support.The Jinwu Tai Shixiang was dispatched to the south, and together with Xu Sheng, he was in charge of the Yangtze River Navy to consolidate the defense of the river. Sun Xing and Gan Xiang of the South China Sea Navy fully cooperated.

Zhou Cang made some calculations, [-] navy and [-] infantry would not have much problem in defending the Yangtze River. As for how Zhou Xin and Pei Yuanshao planned, who would be the master and who would be the assistant, Zhou Cang had no intention of intervening.The only hidden danger is Sun Quan. If Sun Quan betrays the water, the consequences will be disastrous.He also sent Yang Jin, the new Minister of the Honglu Department, to Jingnan to tell Sun Quan how powerful he was, so that Sun Quan would not think twice.

Yu Jin asked for self-demotion, and Zhou Cang transferred the document to the Privy Council, which was at the discretion of the Privy Council.This is a trivial matter. Zhou Cang is most worried that Yu Jin is not Sima Yi's opponent who will lead the war to Xuzhou. Xuzhou is densely populated and the most affluent place, which cannot be destroyed.To say that Yu Jin is a good player in military training, except for the dead Ju Yi who first entered the camp, and Gao Shun who was trapped in the camp, Yu Jin is the strongest alive. As for commanding the three armies in large-scale battles, Yu Jin is much worse than Lu Xun and Xu Shu, not to mention The opponent is still the scheming Sima Yi.Zhang Jai and Xu Huang were responsible for attacking cities and plundering land. The five military commanders each had their own strengths.

It is also because of this that Sizhou and Yanzhou cannot send troops now. Zhou Cang decided to meet Sima Yi in person for a while.Zhuge Liang's six trips to Qishan were all forced to retreat by Sima Yi. Insufficient national power was the main factor. Sima Yi's intelligence should not be underestimated. Zhou Cang was a little excited about it. Unfortunately, the Huainan battle fell through because of the plague. I lost the chance to confront Cao Cao.

The evil thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart for nearly 40 years finally broke out. Zhou Cang recruited the chief bookkeeper Liu Miao to give him a letter. "Immediately call thirty craftsmen and divide them into three groups, search for uninhabited places in the valley, and send troops to guard them. No one is allowed to spy on them. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy! I have written the recipe and ideas, and the ratio of dosage may not be allowed. , let three groups of people try the best ratio for production. If you need anything, you can use my warrant to mobilize from various places. Remember, this is top secret. Give each craftsman ten silver dollars to settle down. There will be a big reward after success, remember to report immediately Let me know."

I don't know if Qu'a and Lu Xun have completed the handover, Zhou Cang ordered Xu Shu to immediately go to Jibei to replace him, and ordered Zhang Jai to make a big splash in Hedong and Xu Huang in Hanoi to attract the Sizhou and Yanzhou Wei troops to dare not move.

When Xu Shu arrived in May, the Privy Council accepted Yu Jin's request to remove the governor of the Eastern Army and General Zhengdong, punish the casualties for two years, and demote him to three ranks so that General Pingdong could temporarily lead the military affairs.Cui Jun has already rushed to Hefei to preside over government affairs. Lin Feng, the chairman of the Raw Cotton Association and the current president of the Bank of Xuzhou, won the first place in the Xuzhou election. This has aroused considerable repercussions in Xuzhou and Qingzhou.It is said that Lin Feng has a high approval rate in the parliament, but some people think that Lin Feng was born in a humble background and is not good at government affairs, and that he is too strong as a businessman, so it is not Xuzhou's blessing.Zhou Cang laughed, it was a mule or a horse that came out for a walk, and he was given a one-year trial period to see the effect.

Zhou Cang ordered Xu Shu to take charge of the military affairs temporarily, and handed them over to Lu Xun when Lu Xun returned. He left Xu Shu, Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Qian and others to guard Jibei, and ordered to leave three thousand Qingqi. He took Pei Feng and Ma Yunlu and led two thousand Qingqi to rush to Xiao County, ordered Dianman to rush to Xiao County to meet up immediately, and then ordered Chen Dao, the director of the Wuyuan Academy, to select [-] recruits and rush to Xiao County.

Seeing Zhou Cang, Yu Jin fell to the ground with guilt all over his face. "At the end of the day, the general will go out of the army and lose the army and lose the general, so that the Duke of the country will come in person. It is a great crime!" That is, Zhou Cang came in person. If it were someone else, Yu Jin would die of shame. Even though he was demoted to three ranks, he was sincerely grateful to Zhou Cang.

"Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, so there is no need for Wen to blame himself too much. Is there any movement from the Wei army?" Zhou Cang pulled Yu Jin up, first smiled, and then said with a stern face: "If you don't do the military salute, you will be fined for three months."

"The final general was worried that Sima Yi's going south would be unfavorable to General Xingba, so he mobilized another 1 horsemen from Xuzhou. Today Xiao County has [-] infantry and [-] light cavalry. Sima Yi saw that I increased troops and built a wide fortress in Xiangxian County. But he ordered Niu Jin to retake Zhuyi and other counties." Yu Jin was happy to admit his punishment.

"Where is Niu Jin now?"

"He has ten thousand people, stationed in Fuli area."

"Get a map."

Looking at the map, Zhou Cang and Yu Jin's expressions changed drastically at the same time. "Oh, the final general made a mistake. He only wanted Sima Yi in Xiang County, but ignored Niu Jin. It is false that Niu Jin regained the Seven Counties, but I am afraid it is true that he is plotting Xuzhou!"

"1 horses don't have that much appetite." Zhou Cang waved his hand, "Fu Li is the closest to Xiapi, I think Niu Jin will pretend to attack Xiapi, but in fact turn to the northwest to attack Pengcheng, cutting off our army's retreat, Sima Yi is definitely going to take it Xiao County will draw Xuzhou again! It’s a good plan.”

1 people entered Xuzhou, at best it was harassment, and there were more than [-] militiamen in each county. Xiapi still had a battalion of guard Li Cheng, and Pengcheng was empty. As long as Niu Jin can quickly occupy Pengcheng and defend it, Xiaoxian will cut off food and grass without fighting. Frustrated, what five thousand Qingqi is completely useless, so Sima Yi's goal is still Yu Jin.

Yu Jin broke out in a cold sweat, and Chen Qian, the defender of Pengcheng, was transferred by himself. He thought it was a clever trick, but it turned out to be a failed move.It's dangerous, if Zhou Cang didn't arrive in time, he was surrounded and kept in the dark, with [-] horses and [-] Qingqi gone, what Xuzhou could do to stop Sima Yi's army, the whole battle situation would change completely.

"I have ordered Chen Dao to send 5000 people to join us. It is estimated that they have already passed Mount Tai. You urgently order him not to come to Xiao County and stay in Pengcheng, and then send an order to Li Cheng. When Niu Jin comes to commit crimes, he shrinks back to Xiapi and lets him drive straight in. After Niu Jin diverts, lead the army to cut off his retreat, and he must not be allowed to invade the interior of Xuzhou." Zhou Cang was worried that Niu Jin would jump over the wall in a hurry and wreak havoc on Xuzhou with the heart of death.

"Pei Feng and Ma Yunlu listen to the order. Let the two of you lead [-] cavalry to go to Lu County to ambush immediately. If Niu Jin has already attacked Pengcheng, he will attack from behind, and if he has not arrived, he will ambush here!"

"Decree!" Ma Yunlu yelled loudly, finally got rid of the position of small commander and can go to the battlefield again. What kind of bull gold and horse silver, my aunt told you to see how good I am.

"Wen Ze, do what Xiao County should do. Don't alarm Sima Yi, and don't let Sima Yi know that I'm here." Zhou Cang stared at the map.

"Is the Duke still worried?" Yu Jin was still a little scared.
