- (Ahem, the third update is here, and the captain is asking for some monthly tickets)
Back then, Sun Jian single-handedly defeated the Xiliang army and successfully invaded Luoyang.
As a result, the people of Luoyang had already been evacuated by Dong Zhuo, and the capital of the Han Empire was burned to the ground.
Facing the ruins of Luoyang City, Sun Jian's troops did not even have a place to stay, and they had nowhere to collect food and grass, so they had to withdraw from Luoyang.
The situation Sun Quan is facing now is very similar to that of his father back then.
Besides being resentful, Sun Quan had no choice but to let his 60,000 troops camp in the ruins.
Soon, Sun Quan discovered that he seemed to have fallen into the trap set by Yan Liang, and this trap was the deserted Chaisang City.
Including Chaisang City, all the people within a radius of hundreds of miles were plundered by Yan Liang. Yan Liang was so "stingy" that he didn't even leave a grain of rice or a dog to Sun Quan.
? And Yuzhang County, where Chaisang is located, has a sparse population and is not a fertile land to begin with. Chaisang has the best economic foundation. Now that Chaisang has declined, Sun Quan has basically lost hope of collecting food locally.
So, in order to feed those 60,000 mouths, Sun Quan had no choice but to travel thousands of miles from Wudi to transport grain to Chaisang.
It is now late summer and almost autumn. Seeing that the autumn grain harvest is approaching, these 60,000 soldiers cannot disperse to harvest grain. Coupled with the young and strong labor force recruited to transport grain, if this consumption continues, Jiangdong's autumn harvest this year will inevitably be affected.
In desperation, Sun Quan finally recognized the fact, so he left Lu Su and others to guard Chaisang with more than 10,000 troops, and he led an army of 50,000 to withdraw to Jiangdong.
Sun Quan intended to let Lu Su rebuild Chaisang and move people from other counties to fill it. The economy of Chaisang was gradually restored, and in the next year Sun Quan would lead his army to conquer Jingzhou again.
Yan Liang naturally knew what Sun Quan was thinking.
So as soon as Sun Quan's army withdrew, Yan Liang immediately led an army of 30,000 from Xiakou and launched a massive attack on Chaisang.
Lu Su knew in his heart that with the broken firewood and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, there was no way he could withstand Yan Liang's attack with strong morale. He could only ask for help from Sun Quan.
Sun Quan, who was still on the road back to Wu, heard that Yan Liang was attacking again, so he had no choice but to lead his army back in a hurry.
And when Yan Liang found out that Sun Quan was returning to help. However, he quickly withdrew his troops back to Xiakou and continued to wait and see.
This back and forth made Sun Quan exhausted.
Leave more soldiers and horses to garrison Chaisang. There is not that much food and grass supply, so there are only a few troops left, and they will inevitably be annihilated by Yan Liang's superior force.
Sun Quan, who was originally happy to take back Chaisang, now felt that this ruined city had become like useless food, tasteless to eat, but it was a pity to abandon it.
In the end, out of desperation, Sun Quan could only follow Lu Su's suggestion. The garrison on the western front was moved from Chaisang to Hukou.
Hukou is a place that guards the entrance of Poyang Lake into the river. Although its strategic importance is not as good as that of Chaisang, it is also an important military location.
Wu Jun withdrew from Chaisang. This means that the reconstruction of this important military town has been abandoned, and it also means that an uninhabited buffer zone with a radius of more than 100 miles has appeared between Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
By forcing the Wu people to abandon Chaisang, Yan Liang's strategic goal has been achieved. At least until Chaisang City is rebuilt, the threat in eastern Jingzhou will be reduced to a minimum.
Yan Liang at this time. Finally, he could free his hands and prepare to deal with the remnants of Liu Qi who was hiding in Jingnan.
Therefore, not long after Lusu retreated to Hukou, Yan Liang left Ganning to guard Xiakou. He returned his army westward and went to Baqiu to join Lu Meng and Wei Yan.
"When Liu Qi heard that Soochow had retreated and Yan Liang's army was coming, he dared not stay for a while, so he immediately led his army back to Changsha.
The Chinese military tent.
The atmosphere was full of wine and harmonious. Yan Liang held a small banquet to reward the two good generals who had kept the rear for him with fine wine.
Although Baqiu guarded by Lu Meng and Wei Yan was not the main battlefield, they successfully blocked Liu Qi in Jingnan and ensured the safety of Jiangling, Xiakou and other rear areas.
"Ziming and Wen Chang, we were able to defeat the Wu people at Chaisang, and you two are indispensable. Come, let's drink this cup to the full."
Yan Liang affirmed the achievements of the two of them and proudly held the cup.
The two generals were overjoyed, thanked them with their mouths, and drank from their glasses.
After drinking good wine, the friendship between the master and his ministers deepened, and the atmosphere in the tent became more relaxed.
"Ziming, I have led my troops here. I want to defeat Jingnan in one fell swoop and kill Liu Qi. What do you think about how to use our troops south?"
While drinking, Yan Liang asked Lu Meng.
But Lu Meng said: "My lord, I think that at the moment there is nothing."This is the time to wipe out Jingnan. "
"How do you say this?" Yan Liang suddenly became interested.
"Liu Qi has Huang Zu's 10,000 navy troops, and he also has Huang Zhong and other powerful generals. According to the last few days of observation, Liu Qi's troops still have considerable combat effectiveness. The lord will use all his troops to go south, and it is natural to defeat Liu Qi. But it will take some time. And now it is the autumn harvest. If we just try to pacify Liu Qi, we will miss the important event of this year's autumn harvest, and we will feel that the gain is not worth the loss. "
Lu Meng¡¯s words couldn¡¯t help but make Yan Liang even more impressed.
An ordinary general, even if he is a good general, can only consider using tactics.
But Lu Meng in front of him was also thinking about the autumn harvest. It was obvious that his vision was not limited to military affairs, but was far-reaching.
"This Lu Zimeng is indeed talented, very good, very good"
Yan Liang's face showed a look of relief and he said: "Then according to Ziming's opinion, what should I do next?"
"The general thought that my lord was now on duty as a division commander and would focus on the autumn harvest. At the same time, he could use some tricks to confuse Liu Qi and make him relax his vigilance. Then, after waiting for the autumn harvest, the lord would suddenly mobilize his army to go south and kill him by surprise. Why worry that Liu Qi will not be destroyed and Jingnan will not be peaceful."
It¡¯s a bit interesting to use some tricks to confuse Liu Qi
When Yan Liang was interested, Wei Yan was a little disdainful, "With my lord's current strength, it's no problem to kill Liu Qi forcefully, so why waste all those useless efforts."
Compared with Lu Meng, Wei Yan obviously advocates more hard power.
Lu Meng was not surprised by Wei Yan's disdain. He smiled lightly and said: "The article makes sense. But if you can use tricks to achieve success, why do you have to lose soldiers in vain?"
Yan Liang nodded secretly, thinking that Lu Meng was indeed Lu Meng. Although he was still young, he had already shown his talent for deception.
Historically, with the strength of Soochow, it was actually possible to capture Jingzhou by force. However, Lu Meng used clever tricks to capture Jingzhou almost without any bloodshed.
Throughout the novel, L¨¹ Meng¡¯s military use was mostly based on strategy. To conquer the enemy without fighting.
Now that the battle between Yan Liang and Soochow is over, most of the soldiers are exhausted, just like Lu Meng. If we can pacify Jingnan and destroy Liu Qi with the minimum number of soldiers sacrificed, why not do it.
At that moment, Yan Liang became very interested and asked, "Ziming, please tell me carefully how you used some tricks to confuse Liu Qi."
Lu Meng then moved his seat closer and explained his plan with a smile.
As Yan Liang listened, a sly sneer quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment. Yan Liang couldn't help but sigh: "This Lu Ziming is really a master at attacking people's hearts. My vision is indeed right"
? ######
Two days later, Yan Liang ordered the entire army to regroup, except Lu Meng who led 5,000 troops to guard Baqiu. The rest of the army returned north.
Before Yan Liang left, at the suggestion of Lu Meng, he sent someone to send a handwritten letter to Liu Qi.
In the letter, Yan Liang claimed that he captured Jiangling in response to the invitation of his younger brother Liu Cong, who is now dead. He was willing to end the war with Liu Qi, and the two sides would divide Jingzhou into two parts with the Yangtze River as the limit and not invade each other.
Yan Liang, who led the division, left some troops and horses in Jiangling, Xiakou and other places, and the rest of the tens of thousands of troops returned to Xiangyang.
Returning to Xiangyang, Yan Liang ordered the three armies to be young and strong, and they all devoted themselves to the autumn harvest. They immediately disbanded their troops and armor, and had great potential to release Manan Mountain.
Yan Liang naturally wanted to paralyze Liu Qi.
Liu Qi still has a wise man like Kuai Yue around him, so he is naturally not so easily deceived. What Yan Liang did was not intended to completely convince Liu Qi that he would let him go, but just to make Liu Qi mistakenly think that, In a short period of time, Yan Liang will not take action against him.
Soon after returning to Xiangyang, Yan Liangsui implemented the second step of Lu Meng's plan to deceive the enemy:
Go to the grave.
At dusk that day, Yan Liang, dressed in plain clothes, led Xiangyang's civil and military forces, hundreds of people, out of the city in a mighty manner and headed for Liu Biao's cemetery in the south of Xiangyang.
The situation was urgent at that time. After Liu Biao died of illness, Liu Cong only hurriedly buried Liu Biao and did not bother to build a good tomb for his father.
Yan Liang, on Lu Meng's suggestion, dispatched hundreds of craftsmen to repair Liu Biao's tomb.
On the day when the repairs were completed, he led all his subordinates to come to pay homage to Liu Biao in person.
In front of everyone, Yan Liang personally read out the memorial text drafted by Xu You.
In the memorial text, Yan Liang deeply expressedIn memory of the former Jingzhou Mu, a contemporary celebrity, a descendant of the Han royal family, and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Jing Shenggong.
In the memorial text, Yan Liang also affirmed Liu Biao's achievements in governing Jingzhou, and pointed out that without Liu Biao's benevolent government, Jingzhou would not have a happy scene with a household registration of one million and a prosperous people.
At the same time, Yan Liang also deeply missed the friendship between him and Liu Biao, and the touching years when the two were allies, supporting each other and defending against foreign enemies.
¡¡
Yan Liang, who was accustomed to killing everyone, stood there today and made passionate speeches, expressing his nostalgia for Liu Biao.
The sincerity between the lines, coupled with Yan Liang's emotional reading, actually made the listeners shed tears.
Yan Liang had to admit that Xu You was such a good writer that he actually let him read it, and he believed it in a daze, and he really regarded Liu Biao as his good ally.
When Yan Liang finished reading the memorial text, the entire memorial scene was filled with tears and tears.
Cai Yu and Cai Shu, who were kneeling in front of Liu Biao's tombstone, cried until their eyes were red, as if they were deeply moved by Yan Liang's sincere condolences.
But he saw Xu You not far away, secretly wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, as if he was moved by the memorial poem he had written.
"Everyone is so good at acting, they are all talents"
Seeing this scene, Yan Liang couldn't help but sigh.
After paying homage, night fell before we knew it.
Yan Liangsui helped the two crying wives of the Cai family up and comforted them: "Madams, please express your condolences. I believe that my late grandfather Jing Sheng is alive in heaven, and I don't want to see you so sad."
"The general is so benevolent and righteous, I and I are really excited."
The two wives of the Cai family had grateful and solemn faces, and they gave gifts to express their gratitude.
Yan Liang hurriedly supported the two of them and said softly: "This is what the general should do. Now that it is getting late, I will send the two ladies back to the city."
