The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 274

First of all, I have a high fever for three consecutive days and cannot write, so I will write a chapter every day for the time being, and wait for my health to recover.Make up for everyone.Please understand.

The drums of war were beating.Rockets and cannon stones were fired at the same time, and the river was densely covered with fire nets. The boats and boats under Zhou Yu's command caught fire one after another.The sound of screams could be heard for hundreds of miles across the unobstructed surface of the river.Liu Bei's army drove out of the sampan in all directions, and went straight to Zhou Yu's flagship.In the dark night, it was impossible to distinguish the distance, Zhou Yu lost contact with his subordinates, and shouted to retreat while resisting the arrows.Liu Bei's soldiers shot enough arrows before rushing out to intercept and kill them.Under the power of the Lianzhu crossbow, how could the Wu army, which suffered heavy casualties, arrive. Jing Zhouyu and several generals relied on their high martial arts skills and proficiency in water skills, and Ding Feng's water ghost army under the water responded and harassed them.Reluctantly break out from the gate of the village.Wu Bing behind him was caught in a merciless sea of ​​flames.Thousands of Soochow soldiers were burned to coke in this fire.

The lieutenant general Song Qian, the palm seal officer, five school lieutenants and countless personal soldiers on Zhou Yu's flagship were all killed.Even the seal of the governor was lost, and the soldiers scattered and fled in all directions, completely defeated.Of the two hundred boats and boats burned, less than ten remained.Most of the soldiers on board died, and a few surrendered.On the way to escape, Zhou Yu witnessed the destruction of the fleet and the death of tens of thousands of soldiers.Thanks to Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng's blessing

The next day, Sun Quan brought Sima Yi, Lu Qian, Dong Wu Cheng Pu, Zhang Zhao and other civil and military generals to Sanjiangkou.I heard that Zhou Lang was defeated and almost died.Moan endlessly.Sun Quan has a few good habits. He is good at listening to other people's opinions and has the courage to take responsibility for things that happen. He will never be too submissive like Cao Cao.When it comes to buying people's hearts, he is no worse than Liu Bei.And he did it more sincerely than Liu Bei.

Zhou Yu knelt on the ground, ashamed, and begged Sun Quan to punish him.Sun Quan hurriedly helped him up, held his hand, and said, "It's all my fault. It's because I came late and Gongjin had few soldiers, so I was defeated. I'm the one to blame for this defeat. Gongjin doesn't have to blame himself."

As a result, Zhou Yu was so moved that he almost cried bitterly, and secretly vowed to be loyal to Sun Quan to the death.

Sun Quan didn't say anything.Others may not necessarily.First of all, Sun Quan's chief advisers Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Prime Minister Sun Kuang were jealous of Zhou Yu's talents and never got along with him.After Sun Quan left, the three of them ridiculed and ridiculed.Zhou Yu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.Sun Kuang is Sun Quantong's mother and brother.He is insidious and stingy, greedy for gold and silver, he is a playboy and corrupt official.He likes to be flattered in front of others or give gifts behind his back.He has long been jealous of Zhou Yu's excessive power and outstanding achievements.Zhou Yu is a talented person who is both jealous and upright, but he doesn't know both.Sun Kuang thought Zhou Yu looked down on him.Do everything possible to find opportunities to teach him some lessons.Moreover, according to Sima Yi's observation, Sun Kuang's words and deeds are full of self-importance, and he is by no means a person who has been inferior to others for a long time.

As soon as Sima Yi arrived in Soochow, he showed extraordinary diplomatic skills.It didn't take a month to become one with the nobles and military ministers of the Wu Kingdom.The ones who had the best relationship and were cited as backers by Sima Yi were Prime Minister Sun Kuang, Anxi General Quan Cong, and Da Sinonong Liu Ji.Liu Ji is not well-known, his father is not bad, he is Liu Yao, the former governor of Yangzhou.

These three people said good things about Sima Yi every day in front of Sun Quan, saying how loyal and resourceful he was.How to defeat Yuan Xi outside Jiameng Pass.I hope Sun Quan will use it.Sun Quan knew that the three important ministers must have received gold and silver from Sima Yi.That's why they lobbied so hard.It doesn't matter. In the later period of the Three Kingdoms period, this trend of comparing luxury and buying officials with gifts had already formed.no big deal.Sun Quan had heard of Sima Yi's ability for a long time, and knew that his talent was definitely not inferior to Zhou Yu's.The key is how loyal Sima Yi is.

This time Zhou Yu lost his army and lost the battle, although Sun Quan said nothing on the surface, he was really unhappy in his heart.It was too bad to lose.Sun Kuang took the opportunity to propose a change of general in front of Sun Quan, saying: "Zhou Langru is weak and not good enough to be a general. Let him be the governor, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Dongwu will be put on the tip of the sword, and they may be destroyed at any time. My grandson You can't rely on him to protect your family's foundation in Jiangdong." Deputy governor Cheng Pu also meant the same thing, and Zhou Yu, a white-faced scholar, was riding on his head, and he couldn't bear it long ago.He echoed: "That's right, that's right, letting a scholar command the army will ruin a big event sooner or later, and many brothers in the army will not accept him." Cheng Pu could confiscate Sima Yi's bribe, and he thought that Sun Kuang was going to recommend him to be the commander-in-chief Woolen cloth.

Sun Quan's mind also began to waver, the only thing he was worried about was Sima Yi's loyalty.Sun Kuang understood Sun Quan's thoughts and said, "Sima Zhongda is modest, loyal and filial, and has a strategy. He can take on great responsibilities. Your Majesty, why don't you summon me to ask?" !

Sun Quan looked at Cheng Pu. He was the elder of the three dynasties, and Sun Quan trusted him very much. "The old general thinks that Sima Yi can take on the important task?" Cheng Pu didn't want to, but he was afraid that others would say that he was stingy, so he told the truth: "Although Sima Yi is good at fighting and resourceful, he doesn't know how to fight in water? Besides, Zhou Yu is Sun Sun after all. An old general of General Bo Fu, he is loyal. Sima Yi has just come to Soochow, let him command hundreds of thousands of soldiers, I'm afraid everyone will not accept it!"

Sun Kuangxin said, old man, if you dare to spoil my good deed, I will strangle you to death afterwards.Shaking his head, he said, "How could it be. Your Majesty, I have a memorial here, which was jointly signed by the ministers of the court and China. They all request to replace Zhou Yu and replace him with Sima Yi. Your Majesty, please have a look."

Sun Quan kept his expression on it, took it over and looked at it, only to see that it read: "Zhou Yu wronged the country, Liu Bei can't win, let alone Yuan Xi. Sima Yi is a great talent, a pillar of the country, and Cao Cao still relies on him as an important minister. Why don't you use it? Sima Yi alone is enough to rejuvenate the country and establish a country. Destroy Liu Bei in the south and destroy Yuan in the north. Please think twice, please think twice." The signatures below are: Anxi General Quan Cong; Zhao; Suinan General Ling Tong; Fenwu General Sun Shao; Servant Wei Wen.There is another heavyweight, Lu Fan, the general who conquers the North.Zhou Fang, governor of Poyang, and Cheng Zi, governor of Wuchang.

Cheng Pu didn't know that his son Cheng Zi had signed a letter to Sun Quan, and he was still thinking.

Sun Quan took the memorial and asked him, "The old general also agrees to change Zhou Yu and Sima Yi?" Cheng Pu said, "The last general hasn't figured it out yet." "No, I didn't express my position." Sun Quan said: "Did you not discuss with the old general when your son signed the letter?" He said and handed over the memorial.

Cheng Pu became anxious when he saw it: "You little bastard, let me go back and clean up—" Sun Quan said with a wry smile, "Does the old general agree or disagree?" rest assured.However, his son had already stated his position, and he could not fight against each other, so he reluctantly said: "Yes, the general thinks it is okay."

Sun Quan lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "You all go down, and the Grand Sima Taishi Ci is sent to see you."

No one knew what Tai Shici and Sun Quan said in the room.After the talk, Sun Quan sent a message to Zhou Yu and Sima Yi for an audience.Still no one knew what the conversation was about.However, the guards guarding the palace gate were unhappy when Zhou Yu came out, and Sima Yi was very happy and danced.The next day, Sun Quan, king of Wu, decreed that Sima Yi be the commander-in-chief of the land and water armies commanding 81 troops in 30 prefectures and counties of the six counties of Eastern Wu, and Cheng Pu as the deputy commander-in-chief.In order to prevent Zhou Yu from being restrained, he was transferred back to Wu County as the prefect.

After the decree was announced, Sun Quan personally built a worship platform at Sanjiangkou.It's a grand event, and I will pay homage to the general on stage.I have high hopes for Sima Yi.After paying homage to the general, Sun Quan invited Sima Yi to the hall to ask for advice on how to defeat the enemy in front of all civil and military officials.Sima Yi cleared his throat and said, "If you want to break Liu Bei, you can use the strategy of driving tigers and devouring wolves."

Sure enough, he is an expert, and he is ingenious when he opens his mouth.Everyone's eyes widened as they waited for him to continue.Sun Quan couldn't wait to ask: "What do you mean by chasing tigers and devouring wolves?"

Sima Yi bowed: "I dare you to ask the king a question?" Sun Quan said; "Just say what you have to say." Sima Yi nodded and said: "Excuse me, my lord, is Jiang Xia or Wu County more important?" Sun Quan wanted to go over and beat him , Xin said, asking such a simple question.When I am an idiot. "Wu County is our lair, what do you think is important?" Sima Yi said: "It's easy to handle. My lord, Jiangxia was originally the territory of Jingzhou. Now Jingzhou has belonged to Yuan Xi. And Liu Bei occupies Jiangxia, so he must have an enmity with Yuan. The Yuan family inherited the 15 sailors in Jingzhou, and their power is very strong. The king can write a letter to Yuan Xi, saying that he planned to return the places like Jiangxia Jingling to Yuan Xi, but Liu Bei snatched them if he didn't want to. Please Yuan Xi himself Send troops to take back. Yuan Xizhe, a greedy person, heard this news, and he would go to Jiangxia desperately. Fight Liu Bei. Our army took this opportunity to store up food and train troops. Wouldn't it be wonderful to reap the benefits of the fisherman?" "Okay, what a drive away tigers and wolves. Liu Bei is so immoral, don't blame the widow for being ruthless. I will teach Luoyang and use the hands of Yuan Bing to destroy the big ears. Thief." Sun Quan only applauded, but did not notice that the faces of Lu Meng and Lu Xun had turned pale.As the saying goes: How can you end well if you seek skin from a tiger.

Sun Quan loves to be greedy for petty gains, and thinks that this saves worry, effort and money, and has the best of three worlds, so why not do it.As everyone knows, the world is full of people who love to be cheap, and there is no one who likes to suffer.

Sun Quan wanted to 'drive away the tiger and devour the wolf', but I also wanted him to 'two tigers compete for food'.

Everything was as expected by Jia Xu.Sure enough, Sun Quan generously returned Wancheng, Juchao, Jiangxia, and Jingling all at once.Since the king of Wu kindly invites me, I have to give face.The navy that Jushou trained in Yecheng was similar.Of course, compared with the real navy, these people can only be regarded as half-baked.Standing on a boat without vomiting is a good thing.

Zhang Yun, Gan Ning, and Guo Jia immediately dispatched troops to Jiangling after receiving Feige's letter.Cai Mao and Zhang Yun assembled the Jingzhou navy to stand by at any time.When the troops were dispatched, I suddenly remembered, didn't Xin Xianying really want to be a vanguard?Just when the opportunity came, Hu Che'er was ordered to attack Jingling as the vanguard general.By the way, let this heroine see how "charming" the long-awaited war scene of the golden horse and the iron horse is.

This time I did not gather too many troops, less than Cao Cao's Battle of Chibi.In addition to the Jingzhou Navy, the Sichuan Army and the Huainan Army are planning to spend a total of 60.The main reason is that the military expenditure is too high to bear.An average of 10 people need 20 hu of food per month.It is equivalent to 300 million catties in the previous life.The main way to attack Guanzhong, Yizhou, and Jingzhou is to use war to support war and use local materials.But the success or failure of crossing the river this time is not certain. It is even more difficult to say whether it can be supported by war. It is better to be safe.If the water battle is won, it will not be too late to transfer troops across the river.

The people and horses were assembled, and the grain and grass reserves had been going on for about half a month, and Hu Che'er's vanguard had already arrived in Xiangyang.

Very disappointing, Jingling turned out to be an empty city, unguarded.Huo Jun, who was guarding the city, received an order to withdraw two days before Yuan Jun's arrival.Zhuge Liang felt that there was no way to divide the troops to fight with the current strength, so he should shrink his troops to protect Jiangxia.Not to mention how disappointed Xin Xianying was, she was terribly disappointed for not being able to fight Liu Beijun in Jingling.Hu Che'er felt awkward when he saw her, and got goosebumps all over his body when he took a look at her.Xin said, if this sissy was not Simpi's son, I would have beaten him to the ground. If he grows up to this kind of virtue and wants to fight, it is a good thing not to be scared to death on the battlefield.

Xin Xianying still despises this dark and shady superior, his bravery and lack of strategy are not worth mentioning.However, she is very sensible, in order to get the pioneer's command arrow as soon as possible, she flatters Hu Che'er, obeys her words, and does nothing except take off her clothes and go to bed.

I'm starting here.Liu Bei was so anxious that he almost went to the room, but he never expected that Sun Quan would make such a 'bad move'.Yuan Bing was invited.

After I arrived in Xiangyang, I joined Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's 15 navy.Immediately rushed to Jiangling.Wenpin's injury has completely healed.As soon as we met, he introduced me to the new warship designed by him and Gan Ning.This kind of warship is fifty feet long, five feet wide, and eight feet high, with four floors above the deck.Soldiers on the deck can ride horses to patrol back and forth, and the stern cannot be seen from the bow.There are [-] paddles protruding from the bottom layer, and [-] soldiers are divided into two groups and slide in rotation.The top was turned upside down, but the bottom was completely unaffected and continued to maintain strong momentum.The overall height is higher than ordinary city walls. Even if the enemy army approaches, they have to throw ropes and big ladders to climb up.The soldiers on board can shoot and kill enemy soldiers by virtue of being condescending, and they can also play the role of looking out and observing.Each ship is covered with a hard iron sheet, which can accommodate [-] soldiers including sailors, which is less than two divisions.With the seven masts full of cloth sails, the battleships can gallop across the river like galloping horses.
