Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 505
What Zhuge Liang expected was right. His resignation did cause a change in the world situation. Zhou Yu feared Zhuge Liang the most in Liu Bei's camp. Notified Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was very happy to receive the news from Zhou Yu. He immediately wrote back to Zhou Yu, asking Zhou Yu to expand his army and prepare for war. He would give Zhou Yu the most comprehensive support.

In order to show his determination, Sun Quan also sent his third younger brother Sun Yi to be responsible for the preparation of grain and grass equipment, and ordered special personnel to deliver these grain and grass equipment to Berkshire.

Regarding Zhou Yu's actions in Berkshire, Guan Yu could see clearly. He knew that Zhou Yu was preparing for a new round of war. Huo Gong, so he was secretly on guard, and he must not repeat the same mistakes and be burned by Zhou Yu again.

Regarding this point, Liao Li also had a countermeasure in mind, persuading Guan Yu to report the situation to Liu He in time, and let Liu He send troops to cooperate. Although Guan Yu did not believe that Liu He would offend his wife and brother Sun Quan because of Yizhou, he could only try The attitude of a try reported the news to Liu He.

However, he did not expect that he would receive a guarantee from Liu He shortly afterwards: As long as Zhou Yu dared to launch a war, he would do his best to help Yizhou. This time he would definitely make the other side return without success, and would never dare to think of invading Yizhou again.

"I didn't expect Lord Qin to be so benevolent. For the sake of my Yizhou's survival, he would go to war with his second uncle, Sun Quan. Please rest assured, Lord Qin. As long as I, Guan Yu, are here, I will definitely keep my relationship with you unchanged." .”

This is what Guan Yu wrote in a letter to Liu He, but Guan Yu didn't know Liu He's real intentions in doing so.

In fact, before this, the reason why Liu He agreed to go to Jiangdong to get married and marry Sun Shangxiang was because he did not want to let go of such a beautiful woman as Sun Shangxiang, but at the same time he also had the idea of ​​​​attacking Liu Bei. Later, he used this method to make Liu Bei despair, and in the end he was He died in depression, and then Liu He instructed Liao Li to sow discord between Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, forcing Zhuge Liang to resign from office. In this way, the only resourceful person in Yizhou who he feared was squeezed out, and he could act unscrupulously. The plan is to deal with Yizhou.

However, if it is only to deal with Yizhou, he does not need to make such an effort. His purpose this time is to drag both Jiangdong and Yizhou into the abyss of war, and then take the opportunity to annex the forces of Sun Quan and Liu Chan to completely unify the south. With the momentum of thunder, he came to Xuzhou and completely pacified the world.

After several years of development, Liu He has accumulated enough strength to be able to take advantage of the trend to complete the unification.

Therefore, when Zhou Yu and Guan Yu launched an arms race, Liu He publicly stated that he did not want any armed conflict between the two sides, otherwise he could only attack the "culprits".

However, at this time, Zhou Yu was all eyes on the affluent Chengdu Plain, and he turned a deaf ear to Liu He's words. Sun Quan also thought that Liu He was only supporting Liu Bei in form, and it was impossible to actually do anything. After all, he was Liu He's second uncle. They can be regarded as in-laws. If Liu He took the lead, his reputation would be damaged.

Of course, during this period, Sun Quan also sent Zhuge Jin to Chang'an. During this period, he specifically talked about the relationship between the two parties. Liu He hinted at this, and he was only helping Yizhou morally, and would never Really get involved.

After receiving Liu He's hint, Sun Quan became bolder and ordered Zhou Yu to continue to expand his army and prepare for war without hesitation.

After nearly a year of preparation, in the autumn and July of the ninth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yu assembled an army of one hundred thousand and suddenly launched a fierce attack on Jiangzhou City where Guan Yu was stationed. At the same time, Tai Shici, who was stationed in Yuejun in the south, also commanded The [-] army launched a fierce attack on Qianwei County where Meng Huo was stationed.

After nearly two years of truce between Wu and Shu, the flames of war finally rekindled, and the world shook.

Guan Yu also made corresponding preparations for Wu's war. He appointed Zhang Song as Meng Huo's military adviser. You can remember the deployment of the opponent's troops at a glance, and you are familiar with the geographical situation of the states and counties, so you can find out the most vulnerable position of the opponent with just memory in the war, or lead the army to break through, or fight back. Being able to do it right, and because he is familiar with geography, he can give timely reminders wherever there are ambushes. Therefore, although the Shu army suffered a slight disadvantage on the southern line, it was able to sustain it.

But in the north, the situation was not so smooth. Zhou Yu was not only good at attacking with fire, but also had many other methods, such as digging tunnels, or using psychological tactics, or forcibly attacking the city. Even Liao Li, who claimed to be as resourceful as Zhou Yu, was a little tired of coping.

Fortunately, Guan Yu was well prepared in advance and listened to Liao Li's advice. He built deep ditches and high fortresses to avoid fighting. Whenever the enemy attacked the city, he personally guarded the city. As a result, although Zhou Yu attacked many times, he failed. Jiangzhou City was still unable to be breached.

"Don't be anxious. Although the other party is insisting, the city does not have abundant food. We only need to cut off its food channels to dampen its energy. If it persists for another half a year, the other party will definitely not be able to sustain it."

Zhou Yu is worthy of being a wise man of the time, and he saw through the crux of the problem at a glance. The scale of Jiangzhou city is not large, but there are a lot of troops deployed, so the food and grass seem to be a bit insufficient. According to Zhou Yu's estimation, these food and grass can at most maintain In half a year, as long as their food and grass are cut off, I believe that after half a year, even if the opponent is an iron-clad army, they can only disperse under the threat of food shortage.

Zhou Yu then made a series of arrangements on the food and grass issue, and finally attacked decisively, cut off the Shu army's food and grass, and used fire tactics to burn all the food and grass transported.

After the news came, there was a lot of shock in the city, morale was frustrated, and even Guan Yu was a little restless. Although the food and grass were still abundant now, enough to last for half a year, but what about half a year later?I can't just sit there and wait for death, can I?
"Damn Zhou Yu, he actually cut off my food and fodder, and used such a despicable strategy, it is really hateful!" Guan Yu was so angry that he wished he could go to the battlefield to fight the opponent in person, but he knew that the opponent's troops had an absolute advantage. If he led If the army attacks, it will fall into the opponent's plan, so there is no way at all now.

At this time, Liao Li said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, and let Zhou Yu be proud. I believe that Duke Qin will send troops in a short time."

"Ah? Qin Gong will really send troops?" After hearing Liao Li's words, Guan Yu was very confused, or in other words, he couldn't believe that Liu He would really send troops.

Even though Liu He's affection for Liu He is increasing day by day, Guan Yu also knows that Liu He, as a prince, has used many deceitful methods. Although he speaks well, it is really extravagant to expect to send troops to help him.

However, now that Liao Li said this, he immediately felt extremely pleasantly surprised and nervous at the same time, because he was afraid that Liao Li was joking with him, that's why he asked such a question.
