Chapter 116: The Beacon Rises (Part 2)
The same was true for the Shu Han people when they began to withdraw their troops. The invasion of foreign races was different from the past. They occupied prefectures and counties, cut off important traffic routes, surrounded the points and attacked them unpreparedly. Every move and every layout was the strategy of the Han people, or similar to the thinking of the Han people. The role behind the pusher was Shu Han and Cao Wei for a while, but their power had already been deeply understood.
If it were the tactics and habits of plundering and retreating in the past, Cao Wei and Shu Han would not retreat even if they were seriously injured in the border. After all, Jiangnan's interests were more important than the small losses in the border. Moreover, even if they retreated to the country, the alien race would have withdrawn long ago, which was useless. However, the alien race now occupied prefectures and counties and penetrated into the two countries step by step. The purpose and threat coefficient suddenly increased, which made people have to withdraw troops to defend.
The two countries retreated, and the Wu army was just a symbolic pursuit. For Jiangdong, experiencing this battle of almost destruction was a great loss, and there was no possibility of peace talks with Cao Wei or Shu Han. The Eastern Wu, who had been in good condition and mediated between Shu Wei, has since stopped swaying and no room for swaying.
This is national hatred, and even more family hatred!
The Wu County and Jianye in Jiangdong were still under the control of the Wei people, and the journey between Jiaozhou and the Three Wus was long cut off by the Shu army. Without Jingzhou, the Wu people did not have much counterattack power just by relying on the broken Three Wus. After all, even if they still belong to the territory of Jiangdong, there were not many small and small soldiers who were thieves. Moreover, the long-lost old rival Shanyue people were huge and uneasy.
After many wars, Jiangdong was full of war, people were evacuated everywhere or mermaid meat, and agricultural production was almost abandoned. Although it was only a few months, it was also an unbearable loss for the Wu Kingdom. The country was about to fall, and what everyone had to do was to gather all its forces to resist foreign enemies, and to support the army and continue to fight. However, in a relatively peaceful period, what we had to face was not only the restoration of production, but also the serious overdraft of national strength.
When the day is in danger, we think about how to hold on for a while. The danger of destroying the country will solve a lot of problems. The king and ministers of the Wu Kingdom are several times more busy than during the war! Naturally, there are relevant ministers working hard on their own, and they still cannot relax in military affairs. Jiaozhou is still surrounded by the Shu army, and Wu County also cut off the connection between Kuaiji and Jianye, which means that the Wei army on the periphery of Jianye cannot be defended.
Whether it is the Wei army or the Shu army, they only withdrew some of their troops and put out the posture to tell the Wu people that they would come back when I defeated the foreign race.
This is absolutely not allowed, and the people of Wu were angry and happy. In the same battle, the enemy troops faced more than half, which greatly increased their winning rate. However, Yu Si seemed to be in great difficulty. The opponent took an offensive and could defeat them. The troops left by Shu Han and Cao Wei were all defensive, so things were difficult to handle. It was still no problem to defend with the existing combat power of Eastern Wu, and it was still difficult to do a tough battle.
At this time, the military and civilians were in high spirits, and Yu Si could not hesitate for too long, nor would he allow the imperial soldiers to wince. It is much better to use people's hearts than to lose people's hearts. Jiangdong has lost too much. Finally, the military and civilians ruled by the Sun family can no longer make mistakes and cannot let everyone down.
So Yu Si used Zhou Chu as General Pingdong and led 30,000 troops to attack Wujun. At the same time, he sent a message to Zhu Yi and Zhongli Mu of Kuaiji to cooperate with Zhou Chu to attack Wujun and must retake Wujun and drive Cao Wei back to Jiangbei.
On the other hand, General Xue Ying and Zhang Ti led 20,000 Wu troops into Chaisang and Tao Rui. On the one hand, Wu Yan's coalition forces strengthened their garrisons, and on the other hand, they tried to open up contact with Jiaozhou through the Xiang River. Yu Si himself left Zhuge Liang to guard Jianye, contacted Lu Kang on the periphery, and Lu Xi counterattacked the Wei army on the periphery.
The three Wu army had their own plans, and it was impossible to restore the territory of the Wu Kingdom in the past, but as long as they connect everywhere, the Wu Kingdom could still make a difference. The centipede insect died without being stiff, not to mention that the Wu Kingdom was like a dragon and only injured but not dead?
Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. Before the Wu army started to take action, news from Jiaozhou came. Zhuge Zhan, general of the Shu army, and Yang Hu, had already occupied the entire Jiaozhou!
It turned out that the intention of retreating was passed to the Shu army camp in Jiaozhou, when the Shu army and the Wu army confronted each other without a chance to win or lose. Since the emperor had an imperial edict, Zhuge Zhan and Yang Hu had to lead their troops to withdraw. Most of the land in Jiaozhou was under the control of the Shu army. This issue of separating troops and guarding them gave Zhuge Zhan and Yang Hu a headache. The land was wide and the number of people was sparse, so the strength of leaving heavy troops to guard and returning was very limited. It was difficult to support each other if there were fewer troops.
It was not realistic to completely defend most of the land in Jiaozhou. Zhuge Zhan and Yang Hu had a secret discussion and began to gradually give up the occupied cities in a purpose. On the Wu army, Liu Jun, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Ding Feng, the reincarnated general, did not believe that the Shu army was really retreating. After all, Jiaozhou information was blocked, and it would take a long time for external information to enter Jiaozhou. It was incredible that Shu people retreated for no reason.
Therefore, the Wu army carefully inquired and tested, and finally believed that the Shu army had withdrawn. Liu Jun was not the one who died during the Northeast Expedition of Jiangdong, but was just the same name. Seeing that the Shu army really retreated, Liu Jun and Ding Feng were both surprised and happy. After occupying several cities, they learned that the aliens had invaded Shu and Wei.
"The heaven will not perish Jiangdong!" Ding Feng sighed with great emotion, his white beard drifting and extremely excited. Liu Jun couldn't help but choke up. There were only more than 20,000 Wu troops in Jiaozhou, and he was already exhausted. At this time, there was such good news that it was not that "The heaven will not perish Jiangdong", but that "Heaven bless Jiangdong"!
So Ding Feng and Liu Jun's troops split into two groups to recover the lost territory. The Shu army in these cities had already run away with food, supplies, and as long as hundreds of Wu troops entered the city, it would be considered to be occupied. The Wu army was full of fighting spirit and dragged their tired bodies to start robbing the city, and they were very busy. Naturally, the people of Jiaozhou did not like the rule of Shu Han, and they were relieved to see their soldiers coming back.
Just when the land of Jiaozhou was filled with joy, bad news suddenly appeared! General Ding Feng, the Wu Kingdom, had just occupied a city with two thousand Wu troops, and was randomly besieged by the Shu army! These Shu troops attacked the city at night like ghosts. Not to mention that the Wu army was not prepared, even if they were prepared, they would never be able to defend the fierce attack of the 20,000 Shu army! The city was broken by the Shu army that night, and the general Ding Feng failed to break through the siege and was captured. Shu general Zhuge Zhan failed to recruit him for a while, and was scolded by Ding Feng until his death.
The experience of Liu Jun, the governor of Jiaozhou, was even more tragic. The Shu people divided the army into more than ten routes to start counterattack. The Wu army was dispersed and there was no warning. The extremely excited Wu army was defeated by the Shu army without any warning. Some were in the city, and some were seriously injured and injured on the road. Liu Jun gathered more than 2,000 remaining soldiers and fled back to his territory, but was intercepted and chased by the barbarians of Shu Han all over the mountains.
These barbarian soldiers from Shu Han lived in the mountains for a long time and were used to walking on steep roads. Now they have let go of more than a thousand people, and the storm of the barbarians are playing the specialty of the barbarians. Liu Jun and Wu soldiers were intercepted and killed one after another, and were eventually chopped and killed by the barbarians and chopped into meat paste.
In just half a month, Zhuge Zhan and Yang Hu took retreat as a step forward and went against the order and actually cleared the Wu soldiers in Jiaozhou in one fell swoop and occupied the entire Jiaozhou. This news made the monarch and ministers of Jiangdong frightened, and made Liu Chan in the distance very relieved.
The generals were not allowed to accept foreign military orders. Zhuge Zhan and Yang Hu used the current situation to confuse the Wu army, thus defeating the enemy in one fell swoop. When they reached such a situation, they really didn't need to worry about the emperor Liu Chan. If there was a two-way confrontation in Jiaozhou, the number of troops left by Shu Han would definitely be large, but after they were completely occupied, they only needed to leave the guards.
With Jingzhou as the front line of Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou's troops only need to be left to stay. Over time, Jiaozhou can be called a large rear like Nanzhong, which can provide troops and materials. This has an incomparable advantage for Shu Han to maintain the pressure on Jiangdong in Jingzhou! Without the help of Sichuan Zhong, only the local manpower and material resources of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou are needed to make the East worry-free. This is simply a great beauty.
Zhuge Zhan was ordered to stay in Jiaozhou. I believe that with Zhuge Zhan's experience in governing the Nanzhong region, he would definitely be able to show his strength in Jiaozhou. Yang Hu was promoted to General Zhendong and Fan Changsheng, and Fan En guarded Jingzhou together.
When Yang Hu surrendered to Shu Han, he said that he would not be an enemy of Wei for his whole life, but Liu Chan promoted and arranged Yang Hu to Jingzhou in such a place of four battles, and his intention was far-reaching. Yang Hu himself did not respond, but Fan Changsheng and Fan En could not be without scruples. Your Majesty did not make it clear, and the two dared not pretend not to know, so they handed over all the defenses in the east to Yang Hu, while Fan Changsheng and Fan En were responsible for the affairs of the north.
The loss of Jiaozhou not only shocked the monarch and ministers of Jiangdong, but also made the plan that had just been decided to be vacant. With Jiaozhou leading Jingzhou in the south, and then sending troops from Chaisang and other places to attack Jingzhou, there is a chance of victory. Now Jiaozhou and Jingzhou are in a monolithic manner, and the frontal attack with Jiangdong's current troops really has no chance of victory, let alone under the premise that the troops are divided into three groups.
After a while of silence, Sun Liang left with Buddha's sleeves. He was bullied by Shu Han and Cao Wei for a long time. After finally waiting for a sigh of relief, he was hit again. The young emperor whose patience had long been worn out was in a bad mood. Jingzhou was like a mountain separated by Wu and Shu Han, and could not conquer Jingzhou. Jiangdong had no choice but to do anything to Shu Han.
Don’t forget that the Jiangdong naval army has long been destroyed in name only, and Shu Han’s powerful naval army is enough to make Jiangdong’s unilateral attack fail.
