Chapter 41 Jiangdong Old Dream
"Second brother, didn't you say that you were most afraid of the Yellow River flooding when you were in your hometown?"
Zhang Fei was quite surprised. When the three brothers slept together in Xuzhou, they would inevitably talk about the past and hometown.
The Yellow River appeared most in the second brother's words. Jieliang County has the Yellow River to the west and Shoushan to the south. Every time the Yellow River floods, it will inevitably suffer a disaster.
"In this case, we should train the navy more diligently!" Guan Yu disagreed: "The way to use troops must be good at change, and we can't be trapped in one way."
Zhang Fei blushed, remembering that he used the same trick against Cao's army in Hanzhong but was discovered. He lowered his eyebrows and said that the second brother was right!
Huang Zhong's praise made Guan Yu very happy, and he bowed his hands to thank him.
"Wen Zhongye is also a brave general!" Liu Bei remembered that he had met Wen Pin in Jingzhou:
"When Brother Jingsheng was here, Jingbei relied on Wen Zhongye to be safe, but helpless..."
Those who understand will understand, it's just a trivial matter of deposing the eldest and enthroning the youngest, and the princes of a good place have to break up themselves.
Everyone sighed for a while.
Old friends meet, accumulate merits and are awarded titles, each serving their own master.
These three words together really make people sigh at the fickleness of fate.
[During this stage, the Han River frequently appeared on the screen, whether it was Xunkou or Hanjin Jingcheng, they were all on the bank of the Han River.
In fact, it can be vaguely seen that the second master's navy was mostly formed during this period.
Otherwise, there is no reason for Cao Ren not to station in Xiangyang on the south bank of the Han River, but in Fancheng on the north bank of the Han River.
Xiangyang is located on the south bank of the Han River. If Guan Yu advances by land and water from Dangyang, Xiangyang will be directly trapped in the city by enemies on all sides.
Fancheng, located north of the Han River, at least has a lot of strategic detour space.
So from 210 to 214, Cao's front line has been retreating, and it has also lost the crucial control of the Han River. 】
"Second brother is brave!" Zhang Fei clapped his hands to celebrate. There is nothing much to say about this, it is purely a show of merit!
A small army shook Jingbei, and its reputation shook Xiangfan!
Even if the history is blurred, aren't the younger generations like Guangmu still exploring the second brother's achievements more than a thousand years later?
"General Guan is really a talented general!" Kong Ming also admired him very much. No one expected that a northern man could abandon his usual tactics at an advanced age and train a navy as if he could do it at will!
This time, Guan Yu's face was a little red: the navy has not been trained yet!
[After Xiangfan was taken over by Cao Ren, both sides were quite restrained.
On the one hand, it was because Cao Ren was cautious enough as a general. He would fight when he should fight and run when he should run.
Unlike Le Jin, who was restricted by his own style and insisted on hitting his head against the wall of the second master.
On the other hand, it was also because Sun Quan's first betrayal was coming! 】
"Huh?" Zhang Fei was furious:
"Blue-eyed...uncle, attacking my second brother was not the first time to betray the alliance? Is there a second and third time?"
Liu Bei was silent and thought of the negotiations in Jiangdong during the Spring Festival.
He had read the light curtain before negotiating with Sun Quan, so the alliance he signed in the "future" was naturally different.
Apart from anything else, how could the "future" Liu Bei know that the heroic and majestic general died in the blink of an eye?
"Wait a moment, third brother." Guan Yu suppressed Zhang Fei's anger. His third brother was always indignant for his eldest and second brothers. Guan Yu didn't say it, but he was very moved in his heart.
[The Biography of Zhou Yu said it very clearly:
Cao was defeated and could not raise troops; I and Fenwei (Sun Yu) entered Shu and attacked Zhang Lu again.
Sun Yu defends Chengdu and forms an alliance with Ma Chao, and I take Xiangyang, so that we can plan for the north.
In the end, Ma Chao in Liangzhou, Zhou Yu in Xiangyang, and Sun Quan in Hefei can fight Cao Cao together. 】
"Wait, where does this plan put us?" Even Huang Zhong could tell something was wrong.
"Of course, we will be sent as the vanguard." Kong Ming hit the nail on the head: "Order us to fight with Liu Zhang, and when we are exhausted, life and death will be decided by the Grand Commander."
"Why should we fight for the vanguard?" Zhang Fei was dissatisfied.
Kong Ming calmly asked: "If there is no light curtain, Zhou Gongjin will use the victory of Chibi to pressure us and force General Zhang to be the vanguard?"
Zhang Fei was very calm: "Instead of burying my bones in Yizhou, I, Zhang, will either fight him or persuade my brother to surrender to Liu Zhang."
Kong Ming: Misguided, I forgot to ask the three generals with strong personalities.
【The plan is beautiful, but the life is not beautiful, and we all know:
It took Sun Quan a lifetime to walk from Jiangdong to Hefei.
Although Zhou Yu himself is strong, the so-called Jiangbiao Tiger Minister of Sun Wu is not at the same level as the Five Tiger Generals and the Five Sons of Good Generals.
The north can be called the real breeding ground of the Three Kingdoms. The Yellow Turban Rebellion, the battle against Dong Zhuo, Guandu, Wancheng, Xinye, Yanzhou, Jieqiao... almost too many to count.
The generals who can survive to the end in such a place where even the dog brains are beaten out are all the kings of the rolls. In comparison, the Jiangdong Tiger Minister can only be said to be a delicate flower in a greenhouse.
Only Liu Bei's old soldiers can make Sun Quan "a little afraid of him" by conquering the four counties of Jingzhou.
From this, it can even be asserted that the so-called Jiangdong Tiger Ministers will not fight, at least except Zhou Yu, who will not fight a large battle, let alone a siege. 】
"Hey!" Zhang Fei grinned: "What Guangmu said is what I want to say."
Guan Yu also agreed. Since the Yellow Turbans, the three brothers have neither the Xiahou Cao family nor the inheritance left by their fathers and brothers like the Sun family.
After fighting so hard, how can they look down on the so-called "generals" in Jiangdong who raise private soldiers?
Jiang Wan was a little interested when he looked at the copy of "Sun Quan has been gone for a lifetime" that he copied. Does this mean that Sun Quan was lost in Hefei?
He was not sleepy at all now. Although the content to be transcribed was heavy, he was also very interested in the glimpses of the future.
Especially when the hall is as famous as it is right now, it’s so enjoyable!
"But Guangmu said that even Jiangdong's tiger ministers didn't know how to fight." Huang Zhong is considered one of the local snakes and still needs to argue:
"It's difficult for Jiangdong's ministers to raise private soldiers. But when you go to war, the private soldiers of wealthy families will be fine if you win and plunder wantonly. If you lose, the head of the family will even come to compensate you for the loss. How can you fight?"
"There are people in the east of the Yangtze River but no soldiers. Such a wealthy population is composed of wealthy and private households. In order to recruit soldiers, the generals even went to conquer the people of Shanyue to capture strong men."
For a while, the generals also shook their heads: How can we fight this?
[Although Gan Ning's Hundred Cavalry Camp is eye-catching, it can only be regarded as a fig leaf for Sun Shiwan, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
Even if Zhou Yu's plan is really implemented to the end, the greater probability is to train a few more Xiaoyaojin War Gods for Cao Wei.
And the biggest problem is that there is no place for Liu Bei in Zhou Yu's plan.
But adhering to his obsession with Yizhou, Sun Quan still issued an invitation after calming down the impact of Zhou Yu’s death:
Xuande’s sister-in-law, let’s go to Yizhou together! My uncle, Xiangxiang asked me to have a sword competition today.
Sun Quan mentioned it several times, and Liu Bei declined several times.
Finally, Sun Quan became anxious and sent Sun Yu directly to Xiakou.
Liu Bei's response was to order Guan Yu to garrison Jiangling, Zhang Fei to garrison Zigui, and Zhuge Liang to oversee Nanjun and garrison Chiling himself.
Faced with such a situation, Sun Quan could only choose to retreat.
But later we all knew that in 214 Liu Bei secretly took Yizhou himself, and Sun Quan threw a cup on the spot:
"A cunning rogue would dare to do this with blackmail"]
Liu Bei, who was sitting at the top, looked calm and said with a smile:
"Sun Hou is not as numerous as Zhou Gongjin."
Looking at Jiangdong, in fact, only Zhou Yu and Lu Su can be said to have a pattern.
The second update today!
