Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 702 Disagreement?

Police, Wu Jun Camp.

"Tell Lu Xun that Deng Zhi's troops entered Wuling, and Ma Zhong went north to Xiangdong. I don't have any troops to send. If I don't repel the Shu people, I don't need to fight them. He is a Jingzhou shepherd, and he doesn't have Jingzhou as a herdsman."

Sun Quan blushed, his purple beard trembled slightly, like an angry lion, he shouted at Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Sun Quan, and kept responding.

Gu Cheng, whose name is Zizhi, is the grandson of Prime Minister Gu Yong. He and his elder brother Gu Tan went out with the army this time.Sun Quan was unhappy because of Zhuge Jin's failure to negotiate peace.Coupled with the battle reports of Deng Zhi and Ma Zhong's Second Army, he was completely dissatisfied and urged Lu Xun to send troops to fight several times.

However, Lu Xun refused Sun Quan's order on the grounds that he had no good opportunity and could not easily fight.He also sent Gu Cheng to the police to report the situation of the army, and asked Sun Quan to find a way to block the forces of Ma Zhong and Deng Zhi as much as possible.This made Sun Quan even more annoyed, and then he became angry at Gu Cheng.

After Gu Cheng left, Sun Quan sat on the couch and vented his dissatisfaction towards Zhuge Jin, saying: "The former Han Dynasty sent Liao Li to envoy me to Great Wu, and I want to make an alliance to divide the world. Xiangyang, enter Jingbei, and determine the power of one-third of the world. I will listen to his words, form an alliance with Wei, and entrust him with an important task to send troops to attack the north."

"Lu Xun attacked the two cities of Xiangfan with an army of tens of thousands, but was blocked by Pu Zhong with [-] soldiers and horses. Cao Rui died of illness on the front line, and the Shu people led the army to attack south. Lu Xun said that he would take Xiangyang. However, Zhuge Liang sent a strategy of attacking east and west. , Deng Ai raised his troops to attack at night and smashed our army."

Sun Quan showed dissatisfaction and asked: "The situation is critical now. Ma Zhong is in the south, Liu Chan is in the west, and Wang Ping is in the north. But he still doesn't want to go to war. What is his intention?"

Since the defeat of Xiangyang, Sun Quan had been dissatisfied with following Lu Xun's move to carry back the Han and unite the Wei, but due to Lu Xun's outstanding achievements and relying on his military ability to force the Shu Han back, he restrained his dissatisfaction.

Facing the offensive of the Shu Han now, Lu Xun dared not fight, and even asked him to block Ma Zhong and Deng Zhi, which made Sun Quan, who had been grudges for a long time, couldn't help but confide in Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin looked embarrassed, pondered a little, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, no matter what happened to the general, the people who are retreating from Shu now need to rely on their military strategy, and don't let them feel dissatisfied. Disagreements between monarchs and ministers are taboo. Not to mention that the minister is a general in the army."

After a pause, Zhuge Jin said: "The minister thought that it was necessary to stop Gu Cheng and let him pass the edict again, and give Lu Xun wine and food to reassure him and let him prepare for the war. As for the situation, we will wait until after the war." Discussion. After all, the people of Shu said that Jingzhou must be ceded to discuss the terms of peace, and they don't know the situation of Ma Zhong's troops."

Hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Sun Quan's anger dissipated in an instant, and he quickly shouted: "Come here, stop Gu Cheng, and change his message again. I know what you mean. It's just that I don't have any army at hand now, so I can send it to you." The pawns are only the new army. Ma Zhong is fierce, and the soldiers will go to Leiyang, and they will go to the east of Hunan."

"However, I have always heard that Qing has worked hard in commanding troops, so I hereby roast a chicken and a pot of dirty wine to encourage Qing's hard work. I hope Qing can put the overall situation first and turn the tide!"

"promise!"

Sun Quan's headache for Ma Zhong was mainly because Ma Zhong's power in Jingnan had further expanded, and it had reached a point where it was difficult to pacify without tens of thousands of troops going south.

Since Ma Zhong integrated the two divisions of Liao Shi and Wu Dang, 5000 elite and strong soldiers have been obtained, and they will be exempted from the harsh taxes of Soochow in one place to appease the local people.In a short period of time, the hearts of the people in the territory were towards the Han, and Ma Zhong had completely gained a foothold in Jingnan.

At the same time, the sons and trilogy of the big surnames who set out from Nanzhong also arrived at Jiaozhi. With follow-up support, Cuan Xi, as the prefect of Jiaozhi, pacified the whole county. After Tao Ji died in the battle of Jiaozhou, all the dragons had no leader. , Hepu Second County.With the help of Wu Dang, all of Cangwu County was occupied.

Today, the territory of the Han Dynasty in the two prefectures of Jingjiao includes the five prefectures of Jiaozhi, Yulin, Hepu, Cangwu, and Linhe, and some townships and counties of Lingling and Guiyang.

As a result, Ma Zhong's army strength has swelled to more than [-] people, and the elite soldiers from Nanzhong are the main ones. The Wu people dare not face the edge.

The only Wu army in southern Jingnan——Lu Ju's subordinate, faced Ma Zhong's attack, stood firm at Quanling and did not dare to attack.Sit back and watch Ma Zhong attack Guiyang County and quickly expand his power.

Both Xiangdong and Hengyang belonged to the original Changsha County. In 220 AD, Sun Quan established Hengyang County in the southwest of Changsha County and Xiangdong County in the southeast.

That is to say, according to the original four counties in Jingnan, as long as Ma Zhong goes north and occupies the original Changsha County, he can basically drink horses to the Yangtze River.The situation in Jingnan was so critical that the troops dispatched to the front line for support had basically made no progress. How could Sun Quan not be in a hurry.

Sun Quan, who had finished his orders, looked at Zhuge Jin and sighed, "If Ziyu hadn't been around to persuade me, I would have made a big mistake and caused the monarch and his ministers to renounce."

Zhuge Jin didn't change his face, and answered with cupped hands: "Don't dare, this is the duty of a lowly minister. It is difficult for a minister to go to battle to kill the enemy, and the only way to repay the king is to do so."

"The relationship between me and Ziyu is not easy!" Sun Quan said seriously.

……

Yidao, Wu Jun is in the tent.

Lu Xun sighed while looking at the roast chicken and turbid wine on the table. He got along with Sun Quan since he was a child, and he could know some of Sun Quan's character.Regardless of Sun Quan's considerations, Lu Xun must accept his reward.

As for why, without it, there is only 'just rice'.

Lu Xun came from the Lu family in Wu County, Wu County. When the Sun family ruled Jiangdong and took advantage of powerful and powerful families, they would naturally go for refuge.Moreover, the relationship between the Lu family and the Sun family is not blood feud at all, and there are even some friendly exchanges.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Lu Kangcongzi of the Lu family was the magistrate of Yichun County. He was attacked by bandits, and Sun Jian sent troops to save him.

There is also Mrs. Xu, Sun Quan's concubine. Mrs. Xu was married to Lu Shang after Lu Shang died of illness.When Sun Quan served as the general seeking captives, he hired Xu as his concubine.In any case, he and Lu Shang are comrades-in-arms in the same cave, so the relationship between Sun Quan and the Lu family is not bad.

However, the two families also had conflicts, but it started with Yuan Shu.Yuan Shu asked Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, for food, but Lu Kang refused to give it, so Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to attack Lu Kang.Although Lu Kang was defeated by Sun Ce later, Lu Kang's son Lu Ji became Sun Ce's guest, and he could clearly see the relationship between the Sun family and the Lu family.

Lu Xun pulled off the cold chicken leg, took a few bites, smiled helplessly, and then turned his attention to the map.

To be honest, Lu Xun is extremely concerned about this war. After all, he is the shepherd of Jingzhou, and the gains and losses of Jingzhou must involve his own interests.

The reason why the war has not progressed for a long time is that in terms of fact, Lu Xun has to admit that the difficulty of this battle has exceeded his expectations.

The last time he was able to win in Yiling, in addition to his own excellent strategy, it was also partly due to Liu Bei's arrogance, and his lone army went deep into the siege of Yidao.After a long-term confrontation, Lu Xun discovered the flaws in Liu Bei's arrangement, so he broke through it with fire.

But this time Liu Chan was not reckless at all, extremely calm, and built the camp extremely tightly, as if a military fortress was difficult to attack.Steady and steady, they are about to break through Yiling and complete the arrangement of advancing both land and water.

Water and land go hand in hand!This is Lu Xun's biggest headache.

Soochow's biggest advantage lies on the water surface, which is weaker than that on land.The Han Dynasty advances by land and water, and defeats the ground forces with the army. Soochow's surface forces will definitely need to retreat.If you don't leave the Soochow Navy, which has lost land support, you may not get much benefit.

After all, although the Shu Han navy is not big, it is only aimed at the Wu army.In the case of smooth sailing, if the two armies are fighting on a small scale, it will be difficult for the Wu army and the navy to win.

Conversely, if the big Han uses the army to go deep into the battlefield and loses the cover of the water army on the side, it is very easy to be surrounded by the Wu army's water army and use amphibious operations to attack the rear of the Han army.For example, in the battle of Yiling, Zhu Ran led the navy to go upstream and cut off Lao Liu's retreat.

Therefore, in any case, as long as Soochow defends the land, the navy can rely on it to be able to stop the enemy on the river.Once the power on the land is gone, the navy is like a grass without roots, how can it stay for a long time.

Lu Xun looked at it for a long time, then moved his eyes away from Liu Chan's troops, and moved to Wang Pingjun on the north bank.

As Liu Chan said, if the bones cannot be gnawed down, it is not bad to pick soft persimmons.

"Maybe we can break the game, we can start here." Lu Xun muttered.
