396. Sun Quan's Change
Gongsun Zhi agreed to go to Youzhou, and Jia Xu's purpose was achieved. He did not think that Yuan Tan could cause any losses to Youzhou. The main reason was that Yuan Tan did not have a general under him. If Lu Bu had not protected him, he would have been destroyed by Guan Yu for many times.
Even if Yuan Tan returns to send troops, he will not be able to occupy Youzhou. However, Zhang Yan from Black Mountain is indeed a troublesome, so Xu Rong will be able to withstand his attack. As for the decisive victory, it depends on Cao Cao's side.
Seeing Jia Xu's arrangement, Guan Yu nodded constantly and said, "You Wenhe is here, it seems that I can really rest for a while. Hahaha!"
"How can I compare with the second general? When I came, the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo went to Taishan County. A branch of a medical school was recently established there, and he went to take charge. I have sent someone to notify him, and he will come soon. With the miraculous doctor taking action, the second general's injuries will definitely be cured as soon as possible." Jia Xu also said with a smile.
"Will Doctor Hua come? Then I think he can really recover as soon as possible. Hahaha!" Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. Although the person who treated Guan Yu now was Hua Tuo's apprentice, it was far inferior to the master's medical skills.
Because Guan Yu's wound had not healed yet, he was very weak. Jia Xu said a few more words to him and said goodbye and left. When he returned to his residence, Jia Xu asked someone to call Guo Tu to come.
Guo Tu is now one of the commanders in the shadows, and is directly responsible to Jia Xu and Liu Bei. It can be regarded as a position above ten thousand people, but he is very low-key and willing to hide behind the scenes. Not to mention Liu Bei's enemies, even many of his civil and military personnel do not know about Guo Tu's existence.
When time is not long, Guo Tu came and saluted to Jia Xu and said, "Master, please come to me?"
"Well, Gongze is here, sit down and talk quickly." Jia Xu saw Guo Tu signaling him to sit down, and Guo Tu was slightly bowing to sit aside. Jia Xu saw him sitting down and said, "Now Cao Cao has set up a three-way invasion situation, I believe you know it too. I ask Shadow to attack in full, and be sure to cooperate with Xu Rong and Gongsun Zhi to guard the two troops for me."
Guo Tu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commander-in-chief, all the shadows in Jizhou and Youzhou are the most complete. I will let them cooperate with the two generals now."
Jia Xu nodded and said, "There is another thing you need to do in secret. Unless the princess takes the initiative to ask, you must not report it privately. Can you do it?"
Guo Tu's mind turned sharply. He didn't understand what Jia Xu was doing? Is he going to rebel? Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Guo Tu's forehead. He felt that Jia Xu was like a poisonous snake at this moment, spitting out a chilling gaze and staring at him. As long as he had a wrong answer, he would break into the door and break up his corpse.
Thinking of this, Guo Tu became more and more careful in his speech. He asked in a low voice: "But I wonder what the commander asked me to do?"
"Hmm? You haven't answered my question yet?" Jia Xu said with a smile on his face.
"I will follow the command of the commander. Unless the princess takes the initiative to ask me, I will never report this matter." Guo Tu saw that he could not hide, so he said with a thorn in his mouth.
"Hehe, I did not see the wrong person! Don't worry, I won't let you do anything dangerous, nor will I rebel. I just let you keep an eye on someone." Jia Xu said relaxed, but Guo Tu's heart tightened more and more. Zhou Zhang, who was not so big, just to keep an eye on someone, there was definitely a problem here.
Guo Tu wiped the cold sweat from his head and asked carefully: "Master, who is the person you asked me to stare at?"
"Haha, Gongsun Zhi! Youzhou was once the territory of the Gongsun family. If you don't keep an eye on something, how can you tell the lord to the master?" Jia Xu grinned. Guo Tu felt cold in his heart. This Gongsun Zhi was targeted by Jia Xu. It seems that his life will not be better in the future. He must draw a clear line with him and not be implicated by him.
After Jia Xu arranged the task, he finally had a rest. At this time, he couldn't help but think of Han Feilai, "Han Zicong, you went to Shuzhong to relax, but you returned the mess here to me. It's really annoying!"
Liu Bei lived in Jianye City very well. After Ju Yi and Zhang He arrived, Liu Bei was full of talents. In addition, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were equally matched, and Qi and Wu troops fought several battles under Jianye City, but there were more wins and fewer losses.
Seeing that Liu Bei had been here for more than three months, Sun Quan did not show up at the city, and Zhou Yu was still leading the troops here. This forced Zhuge Liang to be vigilant. He told Liu Bei about his concerns. Liu Bei called a commander from Shadow and told them to determine Sun Quan's location as soon as possible.
Two days later, news came from the shadows. It turned out that Sun Quan, who had not had any news for a long time, quietly rushed to the outside of Shouchun City with a group of people. Then his goal was not Jianye City where Liu Bei was. All of this was just Pang Tong's plan. The purpose was to attack Shouchun City at this moment.
The guard of Shouchun City was Taishi Ci. He received an urgent report from the shadow at the critical moment. When he realized that he urgently closed the city gate, the vanguard led by Gan Ning, the general under Sun Quan, had already rushed to the vicinity of the city gate.
Just as Taishi Ci was about to breathe a sigh of relief, there was a chaos in the city. It turned out that Sun Quan had sent a group of troops to lurk into the city. At this time, they suddenly exerted their strength. Taishi Ci's deputy general Gan Xin (reserved a vest for netizens), took his troops to suppress the defeat who was killed, and he was even killed on the spot by the young general Lu Meng.
At a critical moment, Taishici personally took action to stop Lu Meng from opening the city gate, but in the end he was one step late. The city gate was opened by Lu Meng's subordinates. Then Gan Ning led the army to march straight into the city.
When Taishi Ci saw that the situation was hopeless, he had to take his men and retreat from the north gate. Jiancheng Shouchun changed hands in just one day and fell into Sun Quan's control.
When Liu Bei heard about this, he was furious. He personally supervised the battle and asked the navy to go to war. Zhou Yu led his army to fight. The battle was very fierce. Liu Bei's army lost ten large ships, and the Eastern Wu army was not easy to live. The ships of all sizes and large were lost. Even the ships Zhou Yu was riding were sunk. Other losses were even more serious. It is no exaggeration to say that the Eastern Wu navy could not recover in less than a year after the battle.
This battle can be said to be both sides of the defeat. Liu Bei's army had only three large ships left and he was unable to fight again. Seeing that his naval army was almost wiped out, Zhou Yu immediately ordered Huang Zhong to retreat first. Since the plan to attack Shouchun was successful, the battle in Jianye City could be over. Liu Bei suffered a big loss, but the heavy damage of the navy limited his ability to move. In the end, Liu Bei had to resist the idea of counterattacking Shouchun City. He led the army back to Xuzhou, and the battle in Jizhou had begun before he returned to the army.
