Chapter five hundred and seventy third good neighbor
Sun Ce let the envoy from Jingzhou continue to move forward. Although Sun Ce was shocked by the news, he was still hesitating that Liu Biao was in a mess and actually showed such a big bottom line.
Jiangxia County, it doesn’t matter if there are a county, it’s just dozens of county towns, but Jiangxia’s geographical location is different, just like Fancheng is in Xiangyang. With Jiangxia, Jingzhou, can we stop the tiger Sun Ce of Jiangdong. Without Jiangxia, what can Jingzhou use to stop the Jiangdong army?
"My lord is not the entire Jiangxia area. It is Chibi and Shiyang, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou still refuses to give it to Sun Ce next to him." Zhou Yu said.
"Chibian and Shi Yang?" Sun Ce thought for a while and couldn't help but frown. One of these two places was from Jingzhou Nanjun to Xiangyang, and the other was from Baling to Changsha. These two were guarded areas.
"Haha, don't worry, Liu Biao is used to water wars. We cannot get through the waterways to guard these two important roads, but we can advance on land.
Xiakou is a very only place. It is built around water. After passing Xiakou, it is on land. There are Chibi and Shiyang on the waterway, but there is not on land. As long as it passes Xiakou, it can naturally attack from land.
"Haha, after this, he pulled out Chibi and marched into Changsha for generations. The southeastern Jingzhou belongs to my Jiangdong." Sun Ce thought there, in addition to his powerful naval army, the army in Jiangdong is also very powerful. Although he had basically not won a few times during the battle against Yangzhou, you should know that even Cao Cao was not sure of winning the Yangzhou Land War, let alone others.
Compared with the infantry battle in Jingzhou, Jiangdong is an elite force. The Jingzhou navy can still compete with Jiangdong for hegemony. But above that land battle, the Jiangdong army definitely despises Jingzhou.
"However, Gongjin, did Liu Biao in Jingzhou go crazy? He actually wanted to attack Liu Mang in Yangzhou? They were just alliances?" Sun Ce was still worried that there was a fraud. After all, Liu Biao was willing to use Jiangxia to exchange for the destruction of the Yangzhou navy.
"This, lord, don't worry. This time Liu Biao was absolutely crazy!" Zhou Yu smiled contemptuously. He told his lord Gongsun Ce what happened in Jingzhou. Liu Biao's actions in Xiangyang could not be hidden from everyone. Liu Mang escaped from the ambush in Xiangyang. There was also the huge movements of King Liu Mang and Liu Biao that could be hidden from him.
Liu showed that he could die and had to do it. Liu Mang gave him a cuckold, could he bear it? Of course, he had to start a war. And even if Liu Biao could tolerate it, it was not until the world knew about it. Now it was well known. If Liu Biao did not show any action, it would have become the biggest joke in the world for a long time.
Why did Zhang Xiu resist Cao Cao? That was that Cao Cao was too much. If Cao Cao had given Zhang Xiu a little hint to Zhang Xiu, he would probably have sent his aunt Zou to Cao Cao's mansion for the sake of his future. However, Cao Cao was so blatant that he would have told the world that Zhang Xiu could not bear it? That would be a joke.
Liu Mang is now running out of Xiangyang again and leaving Jingzhou. Liu Biao is also afraid that Yangzhou will attack him, so he can only take action first. Liu Biao has to be crazy and cruel.
"Is he Liu Mang like that ordinary Cao Cao?" Sun Ce became confused. Cao Cao likes people and his wife. This is well known, but Shu King Liu Mang has not had many bad records.
Although Sun Ce had a grudge with Liu Biao, he also sympathized with Liu Biao at this time. Liu Biao's wife, Mrs. Cai, was eaten by Liu Mang and became pregnant. No one can bear it.
As Sun Ce did in the past, Sun Ce naturally borrowed troops without thinking, and wanted to fight the Jingzhou army and the Yangzhou army immediately, but now Sun Ce is smart. In other words, he has been cheated a lot, so there is a shadow in his heart. "Gongjin said that there will be a fraud?" Sun Ce said cautiously, afraid that this is another trap, which may be a trap shot by Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Mang of Yangzhou. If he falls head-on, Sun Ce will become a joke. This may be a bitter plan. You must know that Yangzhou and Jingzhou have formed an alliance, and this is turning against each other too quickly.
"There is a possibility." Zhou Yu became cautious for some reason.
"Then we refuse?" Sun Ce felt a little heartbroken. Who is not? This whole Jiangxia County was something that Sun Ce tried every means to get. Now it was placed in front of him, but Sun Ce was swaying. If he gave up, he would feel very uncomfortable.
"It's unnecessary to refuse!" Zhou Yu shook his head. If he refused, wouldn't this show that Jiangdong was afraid? And this is really an opportunity. Jiangxia is a stumbling block now. As long as Jiangxia is here, the Jiangdong army will not be able to attack Jingzhou at all. There was a Lujiang as a buffer. Now, Lujiang and Jiangxia moved into two neighbors that were not easy to deal with. The current Lujiang in charge is Chen Gongtai under Lu Bu's command. This is an old fox. He may eat more salt than you can eat. Can you get benefits from him?
Jiangxia was originally Huang Zu, even if he was a veteran, he would retreat step by step under the attack of Jiangdong. Only Jiangdong was rampant. Jiangxia was beaten, so how could he fight back?
Now that Jiangxia has changed his generals, it’s okay to change it to Wenpin, but that military advisor Zhuge Liang has caused a headache for the entire Jiangdong. Now that he has suffered a loss in fighting with Jingzhou, he has become the Jiangdong army. Now it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he gives up like this in vain, how can he bear it?
As for risks? Wealth and honor are in danger. If you are afraid of risks in everything you do, then why are you fighting the world?
"So Gongjin, what do you mean?" Sun Ce didn't want to refuse directly. What a piece of fat meat, it would be very uncomfortable to find it to be unavailable.
"Borrow the way first!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce, "Let him come over Jingzhou naval army." Zhou Yu meant to let the Jiangxia naval army come over first, watch the Jingzhou naval army attack Yangzhou, "and then borrow troops." When the time is ripe, watch the Yangzhou army and the Jingzhou naval army fight out real fire. Then he intervened and borrowed troops. In this way, even Liu Biao had nothing to say. After all, I gave you all what you wanted, it was just the speed of time. When the Yangzhou army is destroyed, and then take out Liu Biao's letters. Can Liu Biao still refuse to admit it?
"Miao, Miao, Miao! Just do it." Sun Ce nodded, and he really didn't want to let him give up Jiangxia. Now there is such a thing that has the best of both worlds. Sun Ce naturally nodded. If he found that it was Jingzhou and Yangzhou who jointly planned to plot against him, Jiangdong could still stop and minimize the losses. If not, then whether it was to destroy the Yangzhou army or take down Jiangxia, this was what Sun Ce wanted to see.
...
"Hmph!" Xiakou Camp Chinese Pin received a response from Jiangdong and couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"What's wrong with the general? Is this little overlord in Jiangdong unwilling to borrow troops?" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and asked Wen Pin beside him.
"It's not that I don't want to borrow the truth, but that Sun Ce from Jiangdong is really a scheming." Wen Pin taught Zhuge Liang the letter in his hand with an angry look on his face, and Zhuge Liang looked over at it.
It turns out that what Sun Ce wrote in his letters in Jiangdong is Tao, and he can borrow it. As for this army, he may be slow for a few days because he needs to allocate food and grass.
This few days can make a big deal, a few days can be one or two days, or dozens of days, just because you are not thick-skinned. However, Jiangdong thought that Jingzhou asked them to give up Xia’s mouth first.
"Haha!" Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head. "It is natural that this Jiangdong Army is cautious."
"If you don't do anything, do you want me Xiakou?" Wen Pin was really unwilling to do it. If you attack Yangzhou, attack Yangzhou. Why should you also bring Jiang Xia in? Wen Pin was trying hard in front of you, why isn't it just for your Liu Biao's Jingzhou? You can help you to be the governor of Jingzhou more firmly.
Jiang Xia Wenpin has a white hair, but now it’s better that Jiang Xia will hand over all the books to the enemy.
"General, don't be angry. Since the army in Jiangdong is not moving and is willing to give in, I can't give in all the things! It is impossible for Xiakou to want. We can give out the few accompanying villages in front of Xiakou. This has shown our sincerity." Zhuge Liang said again, "Give money to one hand and deliver the goods with the other. Since your Jiangdong naval army does not move, I will give the money to borrow.
"Okay, that's it!" Wen Pin sneered. He wanted to let Jiangdong see that even without their Jiangdong naval army, their Jingzhou naval army could still destroy the Yangzhou naval army. If Yangzhou naval army is destroyed, don't blame the Jingzhou naval army for not admitting the claim. After all, I give you Jiangxia the condition is that you will send troops to help me.
Soon, the warships from the naval camp in Xiakou slowly used the Xiakou camp and ran towards Lujiang along the flowing water of the Yangtze River. There was no stop from the Jiangdong Army along the way, and they were just some small boats.
"Has Liu Biao's Jiangxia navy really set out?" The Jiangxia navy's actions could not be concealed by the Jiangdong army. Sun Ce listened to the reports of his subordinates in the camp.
"Reporting to the lord, it is true that almost white warships emerged from the camp, and all of them were raised to sail towards Lujiang!" This was a post of observation along the way.
"Hundred warships?" Sun Ce thought for a while. The current tower ship could originally take seven or eight hundred people, but now because of the crossbow, 300 people is the limit. These hundred warships are only 30,000 people, and the Jiangxia navy has a total of 70,000 people. Where are the remaining 40,000 people?
"You really saw a hundred warships?" Sun Ce asked again.
"Yes, lord, I have ordered a few more times. There are only a hundred ships, and there are no other warships!"
Did the remaining 40,000 soldiers disappear out of thin air? Or where did they go? Sun Ce was a little uneasy, because these 40,000 soldiers were not a small number. If you just stayed in the large camp of the navy, you would not use 40,000 soldiers. Is there really a deception in this? "Let the soldiers below sleep with me and my clothes, and be ready to wait at any time!" Sun Ce became cautious.
"Slow!" Zhou Yu stopped Sun Ce from Jiangdong. Although he was so nervous that he could prevent the enemy from attacking, once he went to the battlefield, he would suffer a loss, because when you were mentally nervous, it would consume your energy.
"Let me ask you, what are the flags on these hundreds of Jingzhou warships?" Zhou Yu asked to his subordinates who were passing the message there.
"They are under the banner of Jingzhou Wen and Zhuge." The subordinates knew everything about Zhou Yu.
"Wen? Wenpin? Zhuge is naturally Zhuge Liang." Wenpin actually took command in person, which was a good opportunity. Sun Ce was a little moved. If all the soldiers were sent to intercept the 30,000 soldiers at this moment, then you could fight Wenpin and Zhuge Liang in one go! But Sun Ce dismissed this company again. If these 30,000 soldiers and horses fought hard, it would not be easy for him to suffer in Jiangdong. One thousand injured the enemy and hurt eight hundred of them.
"Have you ever seen two flags of Huo and Li?" Zhou Yu asked.
"This, I haven't seen this!" The observer thought about it and shook his head.
Huo naturally means Huo Jun, Li Yan, these two troops can now be said to be the elite in the Jiangxia camp. The flags of these two people did not appear, which means that these two people did not serve as the captains of the attack this time.
"Is there anything special about the Jiangxia navy on those warships?"
"Special place?" The captain thought for a long time before he said, "If you really want to say something special, the armor on these Jingzhou troops is very exquisite, and they are all made of good plate armor and wood."
"That's right." Zhou Yu understood. When everyone was still confused, Zhou Yu clasped his fists at Sun Ce above and said, "Lord, the Jingzhou naval army that went to fight this time is not someone else, but Liu Biao's direct troops, Xiangyang naval army soldiers." The Xiangyang naval army soldiers were divided into two parts, part of them in the hands of military advisor Cai Mao, and part of them was in the hands of Liu Biao himself. Liu Biao was afraid that Jiangxia would change, so he allocated the Xiangyang naval army, which was absolutely loyal to him, and taught to Wen Pin. These direct troops were raised by their own parents, so their military supplies, armor and weapons were all the best things. This time the fleet came out of Xiakou was the soldiers of the Xiangyang naval army.
"Use Xiangyang Navy? Where are the Jiangxia Navy soldiers?" Huo Jun and Li Yan's hands are all Jiangxia soldiers. Because this is his hometown and fighting for his hometown, these people are more brave and good at fighting and not afraid of death, which makes the Jiangdong Army very troubled.
"If it were you, would you bring Jiang Xia army out to fight?" Zhou Yu asked back.
"No!" Sun Ce gave the answer without thinking. This is nothing. Why is Jiang Xia's soldiers fighting so hard? Isn't it just to drive the Jiangdong people out of Jiangxia's land? They can live without their lives in wars with the Jiangdong army, but this is very different from the Yangzhou war, not to mention that after the battle, Jiang Xia will give up someone.
If the subordinates knew about this and those Jiang Xia soldiers knew about this, they would not have mutiny.
Therefore, the Jiangxia army cannot be used in this battle. At least it cannot be used before processing.
Now we can know why the Jingzhou navy only dispatched 30,000 troops and left 40,000 troops to guard the family.
"Gongjin, let's go and see how the Jingzhou navy fought this battle." After putting down the burden in his heart, Sun Ce felt much more comfortable. Whether it was Jingzhou or Yangzhou, it was not a stumbling block on his Sun Ce's road to domination. It was better to watch them fight, and they had to observe whether this was really a fight or a trap. This determined the attitude of the Jiangdong Army in the future.
"Lord, you have one more thing you haven't done!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce.
"There is still something to do?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment. What else did he not do?
"Lord, my neighbor who has been sitting with the Yangzhou army for so many years, and the neighbors are about to come to their house. Don't we notify me?" Zhou Yu said with a smile at Sun Ce.
As soon as he heard Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce also laughed out loud, "It should be, it should be! Come, send me a letter to the Lujiang River Grand Village, and tell them that Jiangxia's old friends came to visit them."
