Chapter 689 Sun Ce leads troops into Jingzhou
Why didn't Sun Ce say that this was Zhou Yu's idea to give him advice? It was because he had some concerns and he had to consider it for his subordinates. After all, his relationship with Zhou Yu is indeed not something that ordinary people can understand. ▲∴
Zhou Yu advised to send troops to fight, and Sun Ce can be said that most people would agree. But there are still a few who would not agree with this for various reasons. There are many reasons. Some people are short-sighted, some are afraid of avoiding war, and some are purely looking at Liu Bei's dissatisfaction, and wait, which ended up causing this.
If you say that this idea is what you think, or if you don’t say it, then the people under your command will basically not have too many ideas. Even if you have it in the end, you won’t say anything to you. But if you say that it was Zhou Yu’s advice, then there will definitely be someone who will object, and you have to say that Zhou Yu is definitely not a very good thing. You, the lord, will not do it.
Therefore, Sun Ce did not directly say that it was Zhou Yu's advice, but for the sake of stability and unity in the entire Jiangdong army. Yes, Zhou Yu is not a narrow-minded person, but it is not necessarily the case for others. Therefore, Sun Ce had to think more about it.
-----------------------------------------------------
Not only for the entire army, but also for your own subordinates, we have to consider it.
When Sun Ce saw the expressions of everyone, most of the thoughts were known, but he still asked, "Zibu, tell me. Should our army send troops?"
In fact, Sun Ce originally wanted to say that he would send troops immediately. Do you have any opinions? There is basically no problem when most people agree. However, he still asked Zhang Zhao. It can be said that he is a person who doesn't like to start a war, so Sun Ce knew that as long as Zhang Zhao didn't say he disagree and was ambiguous, then no one would say anything.
When Zhang Zhao heard this, he didn't know what his lord meant. What he also knew was that his lord had already made up his mind to send troops, so no matter what he said, he would definitely not change his mind in the end.
Therefore, I heard him say, "Lord. Now that Jiangdong is peaceful, no strong enemy has come. Although Liu Xuande was pursued by the Liangzhou army, our army has sent reinforcements to Jingzhou, so his subordinates do not agree to send troops!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Zhang Zhao is Zhang Zhao. Even if he knows what he says, it will not actually play any role in the end, and he may also make his lord dislike it. But he will say whatever he wants and deny it in his heart. He will never say anything affirmative. This is Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu, who has such a personality. Zhang Zhao is definitely not a person who is ignorant, but in most cases, he will not make himself flexible.
When Sun Ce heard this, he thought to himself! Then he looked at Zhou Yu without any trace. At this time, Zhou Yu had no expression on his face. He was not sad or happy, and he really couldn't tell what he was thinking. In fact, Zhou Yu's idea was very simple. He thought to himself. Zhang Zhao, you are still a stubborn person! With your ideas like you, our army can only hang out in this "one acre and three-point land", so how can we talk about fighting for the world?
It’s not that Zhou Yu looked down on Zhang Zhao, but Zhou Yu highly praised his abilities and internal affairs. He knew that Zhang Zhao was indeed a talent or a talent. But in this strategic level, there was basically nothing in this strategic vision. At least Lu Su Lu Zijing is a big part of his strength. Lu Su can see a lot of things, but Zhang Zhao can’t see them.
-----------------------------------------------------
So even though Zhou Yu really knows that Zhang Zhao is a big talent, he has a bad relationship with Zhang Zhao, and he has a good relationship with Lu Su. Although he is not an enemy, he is definitely not a friend.
Sun Ce had no expression at this time, but just said to Zhang Zhao: "Zibu's words are actually unreasonable, but the ancients knew that the so-called "death of lips means cold teeth! Now that Liu Xuande is trapped in Jiangling, our army has indeed sent reinforcements, but it is blocked in Linxiang. Even Yanzhou Army Cao Mengde has brought troops there. Can our army be behind others?"
When Zhang Zhao heard this, his lord's words were not unreasonable. After all, even Cao Mengde led his troops to Sili, so his side would fall behind? He might also think in his heart that his power was not as big as the Yanzhou army, but in his mouth, if nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Zhao would never admit that his side was not as good as the Yanzhou army. So after hearing what Sun Ce said, he didn't say anything.
But obviously, Zhang Zhao's expression still insisted on his opinion. As for everyone else, everyone knows that "the rafters that stand out will rot first". Look at Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu are no longer speaking now, what else do you say about them?
-----------------------------------------------------
So when Sun Ce asked everyone for their opinions the second time, no one said anything. He had just called him directly and asked Zhang Zhao to say it, but at this time, it was obvious that Sun Ce did not call him again. But at this time, the direction he was looking at was on the side of the general. That's what you mean, you can say a few words, it's better than this.
As a result, someone spoke on his own initiative, and only one person said: "Lord, my subordinates believe that our army should send troops to Jingzhou! The current situation is..."
This person said a few words, and he was talking nonsense, and no one dared not ignore it. He looked like he was in his thirties, and he was more respected by Sun Ce. He was from Shanyin, Kuaiji, with his surname He and his name was Gongmiao, and now he works under Zhou Yu.
When Sun Ce heard He Qi's words, he nodded slightly. He Qi has abilities and a mind. The key is that he has a good vision, which is also the reason why Sun Ce valued him. And more importantly, he is more careful and has basically no pride and complacent. This is also something that Sun Ce values very much. So letting him do things under Zhou Yu obviously value him very much.
-----------------------------------------------------
Moreover, Zhou Yu also admires him and values him, which is not false at all. Moreover, He Qi is also an elder in the Jiangdong Army. He is not much less experienced than Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. He was also a person who conquered the world with Sun Jian during the Sun Jian era. At that time, He Qi was only twenty years old and followed Sun Jian. Although he had no reputation, there was indeed such a person, so there was indeed not many people who did not pay attention to his words now. The key is that he valued him, so there was nothing he could do.
"Okay, Gong Miao's words, indeed... I don't know if you have any questions. If there is no objection, then let's settle this matter. What do you think?"
When everyone heard this, they knew that their lord had made up their minds. In fact, after Zhang Zhao stopped talking, no one would say anything. After all, those who really disagree with sending troops were only a few people. And these were obviously led by Zhang Zhao. Then he stopped talking, what else would others say? So Zhang Zhao didn't speak, and the others didn't say anything.
"No! Follow the order of the lord!" Everyone spoke in unison. They also knew that they had to send troops to Jingzhou, and they would not be able to go out.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sun Ce was indeed very satisfied with everyone's attitude. He also knew that those who were following Zhang Zhao's leader, and even the leaders did not speak, so they naturally did not prepare to say much. After all, that might make them unhappy. So those cunning people certainly would not do the losing business.
This is no wonder. Sun Cexin said that even himself would not be like this, so let alone those few.
"Since that's the case, then you can order troops, Zhou Yu, He Qi... You can lead 50,000 troops with me and send troops to Changsha! Zhongmou stays in Jiangdong and guards against foreign enemies!"
"promise!"
In addition to bringing Zhou Yu and He Qi, Sun Ce also had his younger brother Sun Yi, his uncle Sun Jing, who was Sun Jian's younger brother, and finally Yu Fan. He brought five of them and 50,000 troops and sent troops like this.
-----------------------------------------------------
If you want to talk about these five people, Sun Ce was definitely not the one who casually asked them to go to Jingzhou with him.
Speaking of this combination, let alone Sun Ce, who is Zhou Yu, a strategist who Sun Ce relies on, and is also the commander of the navy. Jiangdong is called the navy governor. Of course, Sun Ce didn't know that Zhou Yu was one of the three major military advisors of the Three Kingdoms and the leader of the Battle of Chibi, so if someone is in charge, even if he is defeated, he will definitely not be defeated too badly.
As for He Qi, there is no need to say more. He is not bad at abilities and has a mind, and is even more valued by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Therefore, it is nothing strange that he followed him to the battle.
Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Yi, his second brother is Sun Quan, whose courtesy name is Zhongmou, and his third brother is Sun Yi. Although Sun Yi is not as brave as Sun Ce's martial arts, he is not bad either, at least stronger than Sun Quan, and although he is not first-class, he is definitely the peak of second-rate.
Sun Jing is Sun Jian's younger brother and Sun Ce's uncle. He is considered a veteran of Jiangdong. So even if he doesn't have any great skills, he has won because of his rich experience. He has indeed helped Sun Ce and Jiangdong Army a lot.
-----------------------------------------------------
The last one is Yu Fan. When it comes to his person, many people may think of the first person to be famous scholars in Jiangdong. But in fact, those who really know him definitely do not think so. Therefore, those who are really familiar with him know that Yu Fan is good at saying that he is a famous scholar in Jiangdong, but he is definitely both civil and military.
Yes, when it comes to martial arts, it is not that exaggerated. It is a first-class person, but it is definitely not inferior to ordinary generals, and even higher. This is Yu Fanyu Zhongxiang, who is definitely ranked among the literati. And among military generals, his strategy level is definitely not inferior.
So it was such a five-player combination that Sun Ce brought to Jingzhou together. For him, this person brought five, no more or less, which is just right. The key is that he thought that these five were just suitable for him to take. Not to mention that they were a god blocking the god of killing, but he would never let himself lose. This is what he thought.
-----------------------------------------------------
In this way, with the farewell of civil and military officials in Jiangdong, Sun Ce led Zhou Yu and five people and a 50,000 army to embark on the road to Linxiang, Changsha, Jingzhou. With their speed, it should be said that it will not take long to arrive in Linxiang. If it goes well, it may be almost five days.
Zhang Zhao and the others didn't say what he thought about this time. Just Zhou Yu and the other five who followed Sun Ce to Jingzhou, they all had confidence. If they could not deal with a 50,000 army, they would really go home to farm. If they didn't say anything else, just say that the 50,000 army was against a 10,000 Linxiang City, they didn't think they could not take it down. It was not a matter of taking it down or not, but it was just a matter of how long it took to break the city.
At this time, Linxiang was still in the battle. Both sides were too fierce, especially the two sides that were sieging the city, the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army were both red. There was no way. As long as the city was not broken, the general and his husband would have to let the army attack every day.
-----------------------------------------------------
After every retreat, there were dead bodies everywhere in Linxiang City, and they just stepped on the corpse and used this as a ladder to attack the city. The Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army did suffer heavy casualties. In addition to these dead soldiers, there were more soldiers injured every day, and many of them retreated, some of them were seriously injured or died of illness.
So every day in the camp, Cao Ren and Lu Su often hear the wailings of soldiers. This is nothing to do. Isn’t this the case in this war? So even if the two of them really don’t like this, they still have to listen and stand up. Until when will they defeat Linxiang be defeated, they don’t know that Sun Ce has sent troops, otherwise, this will definitely increase their morale, at least stronger than now.
