Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 732 Military arrangements in various places (2)

Zhu Wei still doesn't want Huang Zhong and Tai Shici to actually send troops to raid Cao Cao's hinterland. As far as the current situation is concerned, Zhu Wei can still wait.

Of course, since Cao Cao has led troops to attack Zhu Wei, he is also prepared for the Zhu Wei army in Shouchun and Xuzhou behind him. Cao Cao has sent troops to Chen Guo and Liang Guo in Yuzhou and Shanyang County in Gunzhou. The generals formed a defensive line with thousands of troops.

However, Che Zhou, who had been an ambush general on Zhu Wei's side before, was arranged by Cao Cao to serve as the main defense general in Liang State. Che Zhou played tricks.

As for now, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici have only sent troops to Qixian and Xiaopei in Yuzhou and other places where the two sides meet, but they have not really sent troops to attack Cao's defense lines such as Chen Guo, Liang Guo, Shanyang County, etc. They only attract Cao Cao's Pay attention and let Cao Cao worry about the harassment of Zhu Weijun on the eastern front.

Of course, stationing in these areas now can be regarded as a waste of advantage, because Cao Cao has no time to take care of these places at this time. Although most of these places do not have much population now, many places are blank areas, but they can also be regarded as some strategic places.

For example, Qixian County was originally an important city of Yuan Shu in Yuzhang, and Xiaopei was also a city where Liu Bei occupied and garrisoned troops.

After occupying these cities, they can directly face the defense lines of Cao Jun in Chen State and Liang State, especially if Che Zhou on Liang State can take the initiative to let go of the defense line, then he can directly enter the interior of Dagon Prefecture.

In addition, the remaining Yellow Turban tribes that Zhu Wei sent people to contact in Runan County, such as Liu Pi and Gong Du, have also achieved some results. Both of them have agreed to join Zhu Wei, but they are still hiding in the Shangcai area of ​​Runan County for the time being. With arrangements, you can send troops at any time.

Of course, although there are tens of thousands of yellow scarves under Liu Pi and Gong Du's men, in fact, there are less than [-] young men who can really fight.

Therefore, Zhu Wei only asked them to join Huang Zhong's Huainan camp for the time being, and asked Huang Zhong to secretly send people to train them and provide them with some weapons and equipment.

However, Zhu Wei can let them send troops to attack the flanks of Cao Jun's defense line stationed in Chen Guo at any time, or directly harass Xudu, at least allowing Zhu Wei to secretly control many areas in Yuzhang Runan County.

It can be said that Zhu Wei has already prepared a dark hand behind Cao Cao's back to send troops to attack at any time, and now he just needs to wait for Zhu Wei's opportunity.

At this time, on Jiangdong's side, Zhu Heng, who was the chief general of the Jiangdong camp, had temporarily stopped the conquest of the population of the ancient Yue land, and now he was mainly responsible for stabilizing the situation in Jiangdong.

Compared with the many sites controlled by Zhu Wei now, only Jiangdong's side may still be unstable, so letting Zhu Heng, who is regarded as a clan general, be in charge, can also guard against the recurrence of Jiangdong's local forces.

In addition, Zhou Yu, who had been sent by Zhu Wei to Jiangdong to form a navy, had gradually opened up the situation.

With Zhu Wei's official support, Zhou Yu has already recruited new sailors on the Jiangdong side. Zhou Yu has placed the new navy camp in Hongze Lake, Wu County. Get a taste of sea voyages.

Then Zhou Yu really got Lu Xun into the camp of the Hongze Navy. Although he was only serving as Wen Yun's official next to Zhou Yu for the time being, at least he could be regarded as an official in Zhu Weijun.

As Zhu Wei had previously sent military orders to the Jiangdong Navy, Cai Mao, the deputy governor of the Navy, had led [-] Polangying Navy troops from the Poyang Lake Navy Camp. After selecting some large warships, they entered the Yellow Sea from the Yangtze River estuary. , all the way north along the coastline, preparing to drive to the Bohai Sea in accordance with Zhu Wei's military orders and harass Yuan Shao in the north.

However, after Cai Mao took the navy out to sea, he was unable to send back news for a while, like a runaway horse, it was difficult to know his condition.

After all, it is still the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and sailing is a life-and-death adventure for many Eastern Han people. Now even the Cai family's navy, which has been carefully trained by Cai Hao, is relatively familiar with water, but Cai Hao's navy is only an inland navy after all.

Now that Cai Mao led the navy to the sea for the first time, sailing and inland sailing are completely different concepts, so no one knows what the final outcome of Cai Mao's navy will be.

Although in history there is also the story of Xu Fu taking three thousand boys and girls out to sea to find the Immortal on the Immortal Island, this was after all a matter of the Qin Dynasty. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, navigation has not developed much.

Therefore, this time Zhu Wei ordered Cai Mao's navy to go north along the coastline from Jiangdong, which was considered a risky attempt.

If it succeeds, in addition to the military significance, it can also record an offshore route from south to north. If it is unsuccessful, it is also possible that the entire Cai Mao navy army will be wiped out at sea.

It's just that outsiders don't know the movements of Cai Mao's navy, which is a normal thing, but Zhu Wei can see the location of Cai Mao's navy through the map of the Three Kingdoms game system.

Therefore, since Cai Hao's navy went to sea, Zhu Wei has been paying attention. At least until now, Cai Hao's navy still shows their safe existence with light green light spots on the game map of the Three Kingdoms, and it also shows that they are still Zhu Wei. Wei's army, no mutiny or anything.

However, Cai Mao seems to be very cautious about this sea voyage, so his voyage speed is not very fast. It has been almost half a month since Zhu Wei ordered him to go to sea, and Cai Mao's navy has still only reached the sea area where Donghai County, Xuzhou is located. .

Obviously, it is unknown how long it will take for Cai Mao's navy to reach the Bohai Sea and truly implement Zhu Wei's order to harass Yuan Shao's rear hinterland.

But Cai Mao's attack this time was actually Zhu Wei's request on a whim. After all, Cai Mao's navy had been staying at the Poyang Lake water village and there was nothing to do. Zhu Wei didn't want to keep such a navy for nothing.

In addition, Zhu Wei sent Cai Mao's navy to the north, and another idea was to get Cai Mao away from Jiangdong first, so that Zhou Yu could form a new navy without interference.

Otherwise, given Cai Mao's current position in Zhu Wei's navy, he definitely doesn't want Zhou Yu to form a new navy too smoothly, thus suppressing Cai Mao's influence in the navy. Therefore, who knows whether Cai Mao will do something secretly? .

In this way, Zhu Wei's assignment of Cai Mao's navy to go to sea can be regarded as a multi-purpose plan. The only risk he has to bear is that Cai Mao's navy may encounter shipwreck at sea, and more than 2 sailors will be wiped out.

But in order to develop the sailing business in the future, Zhu Wei must also take risks.

Well, let’s not talk about this anymore. To be honest, Cai Mao’s trip to the north this time does not really have much strategic impact. It’s just that when Zhu Weiruo attacks Yuan Shao in the future, his navy from the sea to the north will say It may not have any special effect.

In general, with the successful conclusion of the Guanzhong War, Zhu Wei's battle in Luoyang can be transformed from a strategic defense to a strategic offense.

It's just that Zhu Wei still needs to wait for a righteous name, and Zhu Wei needs a reason to counterattack...
