Text Chapter 341 Another fight with Zhou Yu

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhou Yu completely forgot that this time he led his troops to support Liu Bei for the same purpose of watching the tiger from the mountain and collecting profits.

    " Moreover, this strategy was also proposed by Zhou Yu to Sun Quan.  .

    ¡°Now Soochow has pushed its national border to the Huaihe River. With the barrier of the Huaihe River, the safety factor in the northeast of the Yangtze River has been greatly improved.

    But to the east, Yan Liang, who occupies Jingzhou and is located in the upper reaches, and whose strength is also increasing, has always been a worry for Zhou Yu, as well as for Sun Quan and the entire Soochow Group.

    Therefore, Zhou Yucai suggested to Sun Quan that he should prepare for the next attack on Jingzhou by pretending to assist Liu Bei and secretly repair Chaisang.

    But now, Yan Liang is standing still, and there is news from Chai Sang that Yan Jun has sent more troops to Jiangxia. All signs indicate that Yan Liang has seen through his plan.

    This made Zhou Yu feel that his resourcefulness had once again been humiliated by Yan Liang.

    Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's handsome face showed a hint of resentment.

    "Commander, since Yan Liang is too timid to fight, I am willing to raise an army to attack this thief."

    The man in front of the tent who asked for a fight was none other than Tai Shici.

    In the previous battle at Chaisang, Taishi Ci was defeated for Yan Liang. He has always kept this shame in mind. Now that there is a chance to fight again, Taishi Ci is naturally eager to try.

    Zhou Yu¡¯s eyebrows were slightly furrowed and he was silent, as if hesitating whether to send troops.

    After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yu looked at Cheng Pu aside and asked, "General Cheng, what do you think?"

    Among the 30,000 troops, Zhou Yu was the commander-in-chief of the left, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, while the veteran Cheng Pu was the commander-in-chief of the right, one level lower than Zhou Yu.

    Originally Zhou Yu was dictatorial, but Cheng Pu was a veteran of the third generation of the Sun family and was deeply trusted by Sun Quan. Sun Quan made him the right commander, and he was actually somewhat of a supervisor of the army.

    According to Sun Quan¡¯s prior arrangements, Zhou Yu¡¯s mission was to pretend to assist Liu Bei, rather than actually fight the enemy. Now that he had to temporarily change his strategy, Zhou Yu naturally had to ask Cheng Pu what he meant.

    Cheng Pu smoothed his white beard and said slowly: "Yan Liang must have been very proud of Chaisang's defeat before. Now if he can teach Yan Liang a lesson, regain some face for Jiangdong, and avenge the bloodshed for the righteous man, that would be great."  Yes. But I think this battle can be fought, but not a big one."

    Cheng Pu¡¯s meaning was already clear. He agreed to carry out a limited-scale attack on Yan Liang.

    Receiving Cheng Pu's nod, Zhou Yu lost all scruples and said happily: "In that case, I will use some means to teach Yan Liang, an arrogant person."

    As soon as the words fell, Taishi Ci and other generals in the tent were all excited.

    At this time, one of his subordinates came in and said: "Captain, according to the reports from the scouts, Yan Liang's soldiers and horses strictly guarded the border and never crossed the border into our territory. It is obvious that they are unwilling to fight with our army. If our army takes the initiative to provoke, it will anger the enemy."  Yan Liang, what if Yan Liang comes to attack in a big way?"

    Zhou Yu looked around and saw the young general speaking in front of the tent. It was Lu Xun, the commander of Wujun.

    This Lu Xun was from a wealthy family in Jiangdong, and he was currently serving as a captain. He was quite admired by Sun Quan. Sun Quan ordered him to accompany Zhou Yu on the expedition, which also meant to train this young man.

    "A young man who is just starting out dares to oppose my decision in public. This Lu Xun is somewhat interesting"

    Zhou Yu¡¯s eyes flashed with approval, but soon it was replaced by confidence and pride.

    "What Bo Yan said makes sense, but the way of using troops is to adapt to changes. Now Yan Liang's enemy army is close at hand. If I don't fight with it, won't the world underestimate the courage of our Soochow soldiers."

    Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lu Xun's lips moved, but he did not speak again.

    Cheng Pu said at the side: "Bo Yan, you are still young and have a lot to learn. Just watch how Governor Zhou uses his troops."

    Cheng Pu is a veteran of Jiangdong. As a veteran, there is nothing wrong with giving Lu Xun a few words.

    However, the meaning in Cheng Pu's words seemed to imply that Lu Xun should see his own abilities clearly and not just rush to get ahead and show off his talents in front of Zhou Yu.

    A trace of grievance flashed in Lu Xun's eyes. Being suppressed by such a veteran, he couldn't say anything. He just forced a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, old general, for your teachings. Xun will keep it in mind."

    In the big tent, there was no one to object.

    Zhou Yu looked around at the generals and shouted softly: "Taishi Ziyi, where is Ling Gong's achievement!"

    ? ###### Chen County, Yan Liangjun¡¯s camp.

    In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yan Liang's brows were furrowed, and his razor-sharp eyes flashed with murderous intent.

    The one on the desk is from thereThe latest information from Wu Jun:

    A day ago, Wu Jun Lingtong and Taishi Ci's troops suddenly crossed the border of Chen County and captured Wuping County, the easternmost part of Chen County.

    The generals before the case were all furious, with anger written on every person's face, and they were all angry at Wu Ru's provocative attack.

    Like other generals, Yan Liang is also very popular.

    Originally, Yan Liang only wanted to have a "tacit understanding" with Zhou Yu to perform a scene of sitting on a mountain and watching the tiger. In order to show his "sincerity," Yan Liang also strictly restricted the soldiers and were not allowed to cross the border into Qiao County to provoke Wu Ru.

    But what made Yan Liang deeply unhappy was that while he was so friendly, Zhou Yu took the initiative and sent troops to attack.

    "Zhou Yu, it was you who provoked me first. It seems that your scar has healed and you have forgotten the pain. You have to let me expose your scar"

    The murderous intention gradually gathered, and determination appeared on Yan Liang's sharp face.

    At this time, Xu Shu also said: "Wu Ru took the initiative to provoke, we must fight back, otherwise we will lose morale. Lord, it is time to take action."

    Since Xu Shu also agreed to start a war, Yan Liang was more confident. He stared at the map and asked, "Yuan Zhi, what are the enemy's movements?"

    Xu Shuhuai pulled out the map and said: "According to the reports from the scouts, after Wu invaded and captured Wuping, his general Ling Tongzheng led his army upstream along the Wo River to attack Yangxia in the upper reaches. Taishi Ci's troops guarded Wuguan, while Zhou Yu  The main force is moving from Ku County to Wuguan."

    Wu's military deployment has always been inseparable from the support of the navy. Yangxia, Wuguan and Kuxian, from west to east, are all located on the south bank of Guoshui.

    Chen County, where Yan Liang¡¯s army is located, is located on the bank of Yingshui River. The two water systems of Yingshui River and Woshui River are more than a hundred miles apart and are almost parallel.

    If Wu Ru captured Yangxia, he could cut off the connection between Yan Liang's army and Yuan Shang's army to the north, and bypass Yan Liang's army to the south and threaten Xudu. Yan Liang had to admit that Zhou Yu's advance was a very clever use of troops.  .

    "Zhou Yu attacked Wuping with a light army. His main force was still far away from the county. The common people thought that our army should send out a light army of infantry and cavalry to capture Wuping in one fell swoop before Zhou Yu's main force arrived. In this way, Ling Tong  The troops will retreat without fighting, and Zhou Yu¡¯s army will be shut out of Chen County.¡±

    In a moment, Xu Shu came up with a countermeasure.

    According to intelligence, the Wu army that captured Wuping had about 5,000 troops. Among them, Ling commanded 4,000 troops and more than 100 warships marched westward along the Wushi River to attack Yangxia. However, Taishi Ci's tribe who stayed in Wuping only had less than 1,000 troops.  thousand.

    "Wu Ru most likely thought that the main guild would lead a large army to aid Yangxia, so Wuping County only had a thousand soldiers and horses left. If our army went in the opposite direction and attacked Wuping with light cavalry, it would definitely catch Wu's army off guard. The general would like to mention  With one army, we will take back Wuping for our lord."

    The person in front of the tent who generously invited the enemy to fight was Zhang Liao.

    Since returning to Yan Liang, Yan Liang was very kind to Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao had not made any merit, so he actively asked for a battle, hoping to use this battle to make merit in order to repay Yan Liang's kindness.

    Yan Liang was well aware of Zhang Liao's bravery and ability to lead the army. Since he took the initiative to ask for a battle, he was playing into Yan Liang's wishes.

    Immediately Yan Liang said boldly: "Wen Yuan's courage is commendable, very good. I will send you three thousand cavalry to advance lightly. You must recapture Wuping from me."

    "My lord, just wait for the general's victory."

    Zhang Liao was finally able to go to war, so he issued a military order and left immediately.

    Zhang Liao set out with 3,000 infantry and cavalry elites. Wuguan was a small county with low city walls. Although there were 1,000 Wu troops, Zhang Liao's 3,000 elite troops were probably enough to conquer.

    As soon as Zhang Liao left, Xu Shu and other counselors began to discuss the next step of using troops.

    Unknowingly, Yaosei was already dark, half

    i has passed.

    But for some reason, Yan Liang always felt that something was wrong.

    He sat there quietly, staring at the map, turning a deaf ear to the civil and military discussions, but frowning and thinking deeply.

    Zhou Yu used his troops in a systematic and orderly manner. Both Ling Tong and Tai Shi Ci were good generals. Zhou Yu sent these two generals out, which shows that he was determined to win.

    The only doubt is that Taishi Ci's tribe in Wuguan only has a thousand soldiers and horses, and he is as smart as Zhou Yu. Didn't he think that Yan Liang might attack Wuguan with a light army?

    Or perhaps, Zhou Yu was convinced of Taishi Ci's bravery and believed that this general with a thousand soldiers and horses was enough to defend Wuguan.

    "Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci"

    Yan Liang recited the name silently, recalling the previous fight with Chai Sang in his mind. The superb martial arts skills left a deep impression on him.

    &nbsp"Yan Liang can even be sure that this person's martial arts is the best in Soochow."

    In the middle of his thoughts, Yan Liang's head suddenly shook, and a strange color flashed in his eyes for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

    "Oh no, we fell into Zhou Yu's plan!"

    Yan Liang suddenly shouted in a deep voice, and the tent instantly became quiet. Everyone looked at Yan Liang with a look of surprise.

    "My lord, how did we fall into Zhou Yu's plan?" Xu Shu asked suspiciously.

    Yan Liang said: "Zhou Yu sent Ling Tong and Taishi Ci as the vanguard. Yuan Zhi, don't you see the doubts in it?"

    "These two are both veteran generals of Soochow. It is reasonable for Zhou Yu to use them as forwards. I don't see anything suspicious."

    Xu Shuyi 1

    I looked confused.

    A sneer flashed across Yan Liang's lips, "These two are indeed veteran generals of Soochow, but their abilities are obviously different. Ling Tong is good at both offense and defense, while Taishi Ci is the most powerful general in Soochow. It's purely a matter of theory.  Ling Tong's offensive ability is far inferior to that of Tai Shi Ci. Now Zhou Yu lets Tai Shi Ci, who is the best at attacking, defend the city and instead lets Ling Tong attack Yang Xia. Isn't this suspicious? "

    "My lord, do you mean that Zhou Yu"

    Xu Shu¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he suddenly understood what Yan Liang meant.
