Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 427 The Most Special War

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.

"A Fang, why did you say that?" Wu Sheng was the first to ask, "Why do you have to send troops to help Yuan Shu? Is it just because he has an alliance with the general? Do we really want to keep some help?"

"It's about watching and helping each other." Xu Fang glanced at Wu Sheng, and replied: "If we just sit idly by this time and never send troops, we will not only breed tigers, but also make a strong enemy, and it will be easy for the general to attack Yuzhou in the west. The painstaking efforts of the subordinates are in vain!"

The more people listened, the more confused they became. Guo Jia looked sideways at Xu Fang, and said with a smile, "I understand General Xu's last sentence. It is nothing more than saying that Sun Ce's disturbance is not small, and it is very likely that Xu Du will be shocked. Cao Cao saw an opportunity to take advantage of, and even ignored our soldiers stationed in the south of Chen Guo, and sent troops to Runan again, intending to kill Yuan Shu in one fell swoop."

"Just what does the previous sentence mean? What does it mean to raise a tiger and create a strong enemy?"

Guo Jia paused for a moment, and said in a more emphatic tone: "Sun Ce is a man, I have heard about him, he is light and unprepared, quick-tempered and courageous, but he is not without wisdom, even if this person completes the following tasks and seizes Yangzhou, he will It is unlikely that you will take the initiative to embarrass me, Xuzhou, right?"

"Why not?" Xu Fang glanced at Guo Jia, and said solemnly, "Sir, don't you hear that distant friends are close friends?"

"General Xu's words are wrong. Far-distance and close-attack is the legacy of Fan Ju of the Western Qin Dynasty in the past. When this strategy was established, it was already in the middle and late Warring States period when the Seven Heroes were fighting for hegemony."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Since the Zhou Dynasty began to divide the world, there have been more than a hundred princes in the past hundred years, and everyone has been called king. Before the Western Qin Dynasty adopted the strategy of far-distance and close-attack, the direction of the war was very uncertain, and it was often used by some civil and military officials. Expansion of fiefdoms by oneself, but the power of the country itself has not increased, and even the territories that have been opened up are often not connected with the country, which is detrimental to the strength of the Qin State. This absurd phenomenon allows Qin to expand steadily while trying to avoid the situation where the six countries are united."

"But you have to pay attention." Guo Jiasu said: "If there are many heroes in the world, try not to form an alliance with your neighbors if you have a choice, because this is your own expansion area, and forming an alliance means blocking you. The road of self-improvement has been developed, but the strategy of long-distance and short-term attack needs to meet two conditions.”

"First, seizing land from neighboring countries is in line with the country's development direction, and second, this country must be able to defeat neighboring countries, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!"

"This means that they are both close neighbors. During the Warring States period, the Western Qin State wanted to attack Han and Zhao from a short distance. However, during the period of the Five Hegemonies in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin State wanted to form a good relationship with the Jin State, which is close to it. Is it for peace to jointly attack the distant Chu State?"

"Because the strength of Jin State was higher than that of Qin State at that time, and Chu State was even more threatening! If you attack Jin State, let alone whether you can win or not, even if you win, there is a high probability that it will be a miserable victory, which will hurt the foundation of the country. This is called victory is worse than defeat!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused, looked around at everyone, and finally bowed his hands to Wang Zhengwei, and said generously: "Why did Jia suggest that the Lord go to Jiangdong? No matter who is in charge of Xuzhou, it can be used as a natural barrier to help Yangzhou block the strong enemy in the north. It should be a close friend and a long-range attack, but Yuan Shu didn't want to go south to capture Jing and Jiao, but always wanted to go north. , really stupid!"

"Sun Ce may not be so stupid. If the lord doesn't want to take Jiangdong, it's always good for us to have a smarter ally behind us."

Wang Zheng was speechless, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Why didn't he know that Yuan Shu was neither a wise master nor a kind person, if given the chance, he would probably pounce on him and bite him, but since he met him, the other party has treated him very well on the surface, including snatching In the process of going to Xuzhou, he really felt that he was taking advantage of the other party, and there were always some unexplainable thoughts in his heart, which made him hesitate to take the initiative to do something to Yuan Shu.

Xu Fang still insisted on his own opinion: "Sir, what you said is indeed quite reasonable, but the last general spent a period of time with Sun Ce in Kaiyang that day, but he thought that this person was arrogant and frivolous, and he was very happy. If he won Yangzhou, he would definitely die Take the initiative to provoke border provocations and meet our soldiers!"

"It's a great success and you don't necessarily want to beat me in Xuzhou." This reason couldn't convince Guo Jia, he shook his head: "Didn't his father, Sun Jian, die at the hands of Liu Biao and Huang Zu? In my opinion, we should still fight him." Jingzhou is more likely."

"This general also agrees with Xu Fang's judgment!"

But at this time, Wang Zheng finally opened his eyes, looked at Guo Jia who was staring at him in surprise, smiled, and first explained: "Because Sun Ce and this general also have old grievances!"

"What, Sun Ce and the lord also have grudges?"

Hearing Wang Zheng's words, Guo Jia was dumbfounded, with a question mark on his forehead. He knew Wang Zheng's past clearly. Since the uprising, all his footprints were in Qing, Yan, and Xuzhou prefectures. Sun Ce should have no intersection at all.
How did they end their hatred?
And
Thinking of Wang Zheng's and Xu Fang's tone of voice being so affirmative, Guo Jia couldn't help but mutter to himself, the enmity seems to be quite deep.

This aroused his curiosity, and he wanted to ask for clarification, but he saw that Wang Zheng was sitting on the side of the throne, and he had an aura of majesty, his face was sinking like water, and he couldn't see happiness or anger. I dare not ask any more.

At this time, Wang Zheng stood up, with his hands behind his back, staring at everyone on the field, and said word by word: "Liu Jingsheng has nine counties in Jingxiang, and Nanyang, which is the most famous in the world, is in his hand. In addition, he has received a large number of people to avoid war The people of the Central Plains, in terms of strength on paper, are currently far above Xuzhou. "

"So if Sun Ce wins Yangzhou and defeats Yuan Shu, he will probably choose to attack me in Xuzhou first!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials in the hall were silent, and immediately fell into thinking.

If this is the case, whether Yangzhou or even Jiangdong is surnamed Yuan or Sun is related to Xuzhou's own interests and future development.

In particular, in the eyes of Xuzhou civil and military officials on the field, Sun Ce's threat is far greater than Yuan Shu's!

Yuan Shu has a territory, a population, a family background, and wealth. In the eyes of the world, he is an extremely powerful vassal. The group has one of the biggest flaws, not good at martial arts!
In the battle of Xuzhou, everyone could see the ruthlessness of the Yangzhou army, so in their eyes, Yuan Shu and the Yangzhou army were nothing to worry about!

No matter how rich you are, how big the population is, and how big the territory is, so what?It's not just stored for us temporarily, whenever you want to take it, you can take it whenever you want!

But Sun Ce is completely different!
In recent months, everyone has actually heard rumors that Sun Ce occupied several counties in just a few months, not to mention Megatron Jiangdong, and even beat Yuan Shu's former enemy Yangzhou Governor Liu Yao into a mess, and finally even abandoned him. flee the city.

If you look at the achievements in terms of time, the limelight has completely overshadowed Wang Zheng. After all, it took him nearly a year to win most of Xuzhou.

Even Wang Zheng himself was more afraid of Sun Ce than Yuan Shu in his heart.

After all, the last time it was just a one-on-one victory, not to mention that he used his high charisma to launch a charm at a critical moment and form a surprise attack to win the victory. Even so, Wang Zheng also admitted that Sun Ce had already faced him so far. The most difficult opponent to deal with, even made himself lose several times during the fight.

This is something that Zhang Yide, the later Yanren, has never done.

But now it has become a confrontation between the two armies. Facing the future founder of the Soochow hegemony, it is really hard to say who will die.

If Wang Zheng is like this, let alone others.

After all, with the reputation of being a "little bully", no one can rest assured that the neighbor around him has changed from a greedy and stupid money bag to a powerful and hateful beast.

"Get ready to send troops as soon as possible!"

In a state of depression, Wang Zheng said this in a deep voice.

Li Ren had already explained the current situation in Yangzhou clearly before. Although Sun Ce's army had captured Xiang'an on the Yangtze River in a short period of time, and defeated the [-] reinforcements sent by Yuan Shu head-on, they won a glorious victory. Up to now, Linhu has not been captured yet!

After all, Yuan Shu would not place all his hopes on Wang Zheng's side, so Wang Zheng heard Li Ren say that during this period of time, he had dispatched his general Chen Lan to wait for a group of troops to defend the city by the lake.

Although this Chen Lan is not as good as Ji Ling in history, he is still an experienced general. He must have made sufficient preparations during this period of time. He has made preparations to fortify the walls and clear the fields around the lake, but this can certainly stop Sun Ce The army obtained supplies in the territory of Lujiang, but it would also force the opponent to give up the unnecessary capture, and the army came straight to Linhu.If there is no accident, the two sides will have a final duel under Linhu City!

Either Chen Lan led the army and defended Linhu until Yuan Shu solved the threat of Cao's army in Runan, pulled the army back, and finally forced Sun Ce's army to withdraw; Lake, and then seize the entire Lujiang River, not to mention, it will even advance to Jiujiang, and the soldiers will approach Shouchun.

If the Tianjun wants to stop Sun Ce while avoiding too much damage, it will naturally take advantage of the situation that Linhu is not lost, not only has the support of friendly troops, but also occupies a favorable location.

If the heavenly army arrived after Sun Ce attacked the city, it would be too late, too late. Not only would the odds of winning be greatly reduced, but there would be a great possibility of a disastrous victory. This is not what Wang Zheng would like to see.

Wang Zheng did not agree.

Regarding this point, everyone agreed that if you want to send troops, the sooner the better, Wu Sheng immediately stepped out and shouted: "General, let me deal with that Sun Ce?"

Now that it is decided to send troops, the next point is who will be the main general.

Wang Zheng was also considering the candidate for the chief general. Hearing this, he first glanced at Wu Sheng, and then looked at Huang Zhong beside him. Although he did not recommend himself like Wu Sheng, his eyes were burning with anticipation. , obviously eager to fight.

Wu Sheng and Huang Zhong are not suitable in the first place.

Although Sun Ce has not really become popular today, he still occupies the land of the three counties after all. This battle is the same as the attack on Beihai, which is a national war level, and the opponent is even stronger than Kong Rong. Sheng's personality is not stable enough, while Huang Zhong's time in the army is short and his qualifications are insufficient, so he is not a suitable candidate.

What about Xu Fang?
After weighing it for a while, Wang Zheng still shook his head secretly.

After several battles, Xu Fang has been tempered now. He is a rare general under his command who can be alone, but sometimes he is too stable in character. as appropriate, just
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's eyes flickered sharply, his purpose was not just that.

Even as a history novice, Wang Zheng probably felt at this time that Sun Ce's rise was faster and faster than in the original history!

So if the other party really took over the land of Jiangdong, would there be Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, who was supposed to be killed, and then assassinated by his disciples?
Wang Zheng now regrets the impulsive punch that day
Ma De, if he knew this earlier, he should have chopped off the dog's head with his sword while he was unconscious!

That's neat and neat, and it's done once and for all!

Fortunately, it is not too late now, since this is the case, the dispatch of troops to Yangzhou this time must be eradicated, so as to avoid future troubles!
So who is most sure that he can kill Sun Ce while defeating him?
Xu Fang was not sure, and even Wang Zheng asked himself that he was not 100% sure
Thinking that Wang Zheng has made up his mind here, he sat back on the main seat, looked around the ministers, and said in a sharp voice: "This battle, I will personally lead the army!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, especially Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao and other civil officials looked at each other in blank dismay, ready to speak out to warn them.

Mi Heng was the most impatient, and immediately said: "My lord."

"What?" Seeing Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows, following his reputation, his gaze was as cold as a knife.

You Heng was startled, and instinctively reacted without hesitation, so he changed his words and said: "My lord leads an army to assist Yuan Shu with a body of a thousand pieces of gold, this is an act of keeping promises and honoring righteousness, great kindness!"

Hearing this, at the same time, there were countless eyes watching.

Even Guo Jia and Wu Sheng looked at the Confucian scholar in white in amazement, then lowered their heads calmly, hiding the disbelief in their expressions and the incomparable surprise in their eyes.

Really unexpected ah unexpected.
You Zhengping, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has changed!
But when they raised their heads to look at Wang Zheng again, they had a clear understanding, so it's no wonder that you foolish people didn't dare to continue talking.

However, at this time, Wang Zheng is high above the ground, exuding breathtaking power from top to bottom, which is not only an incomparable courage, but also an undeniable majesty.

Then, under Wang Zheng's order, the heavenly army, which had just turned back from the North Sea, quickly resumed its action after a short rest.

The Tianzhu Battalion took the lead in going south, and secretly stationed in Huai Ling. Food, ordnance, and more recruits also began to move south one after another.

In order to do their best, this time, in addition to Xu Fang and Mi Heng guarding Xiapi, Wang Zheng sent out both civil and military personnel, Wu Sheng was the vanguard, Huang Zhong was the deputy general, Guo Jia was the military adviser, and Zhang Zhao was in charge of supervising the transition to the military. At that time, Yangzhou provided all the logistics.

The Department of Benming, which Mi Fang was in charge of, also began to pour out towards Yangzhou, increasing intelligence gathering on the Lujiang River and even near the Linhu Lake.

The Celestial Army is doing its best to prepare for the most special war since the beginning of the war.

Because this is the only war that is not for the territory and population, but for killing the enemy!

Whether it is the army of heaven or the government of the king, there is only one thing they want.

That was Sun Ce's fate!
　This battle will not only solve Sun Ce.

　　The author doesn't want to spoil, but he is afraid of being sprayed. In the end, he is even more afraid of the latter, so he mentions it first.

　　I have already thought about how to let Wang Zheng "not only act as a cowherd, but also set up a memorial archway."

　　Jiang Dong must be surnamed Wang.
