The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 291 Chaohui, Jiangdong Candidate

"I let him go to the navy just to see the surface, so as to give him a shocking deterrent."

"I think when he returns to Soochow, he will definitely become the best spokesperson for the Xiapi Navy. As long as he tells Soochow what he saw in the navy, he will be able to successfully create momentum for us!"

Xi Yu, who had a gully in his heart, talked eloquently, while Guo Jia and the others showed a little confusion on their faces. He didn't understand why the lord was so confident.

You know, in the eyes of the vast majority of northerners, Jiangdong people have as many minds as a sieve.

This may be an exaggeration, but it still explains something.

People from Jiangdong live in a corner. On the surface, it seems that everyone is united, but in fact everyone has their own small thoughts, and everyone wants to bring down the enemy.

If Liu Bei is like this, Sun Quan will naturally not give up.

However, he is now besieged in Jingzhou by Xi Yu and Liu Bei from the north and west, and it will be difficult to lead the crowd out for a while.

If not, he would not have thought of sending Lu Su to Xiapi.

Of course, since Sun Quan could think of sending people to Xiapi, he could also think of sending people to Sichuan and Shu.

In this way, presumably while being an alliance with Xiapi, the relationship with Liu Bei will not be so bad.

And Guo Jia was most worried about this point, he hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking.

"My lord, aren't you afraid of their alliance with Liu Bei?"

"Aren't they already in alliance?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang raised his head, put down the book in his hand, and continued: "It's just that their alliance was barely passable not long ago, but now it's in jeopardy."

"By the way, you have spies all over the country, and they sent back the news long ago, and you didn't even know about it?"

"I know the military situation in Jingzhou, but the Shu-Wu alliance may not end so quickly!"

As a vigilant person, Guo Jia may be more casual in life, seek pleasure, and be unrestrained, making his concubine at home love and hate him, but in military affairs, he will never do anything unsure. Xi Yu is absolutely at ease about this matter.

Therefore, when I heard Zhuge Liang's slightly one-sided words, I immediately denied it: "It's not because I think too much, but from the current forces of all parties, the general trend of the world seems to be clear, but before it is completely unified, all There is a dark tide everywhere.”

"I think that only after the position of the co-lord of the world is firmly established, can we talk about what is an enemy and what is a friend with peace of mind!"

"So if you just look at the current situation, Shu and Wu may have broken the contract and no longer share the same hatred, but if you look at the long-term interests, I'm afraid there will still be entanglements between them."

"When they join forces again, no one will know what the final result will be."

"In addition, Cao Wei also needs to pay special attention. Now they are defeated, but when Cao Wei crossed us and found Soochow and Sichuan, no one can be sure whether the three parties will fight or cooperate with each other."

"If it's really because of our power that we ask them to hug each other to keep warm, then the loss outweighs the gain."

"At that time, what we will have to face is a situation where the world is the enemy. The war will resume and the swords will continue. In such a situation, even if we can win, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses."

"And the common people all over the world will also suffer greater harm because of the war, and the present world is difficult. If we have the ability to avoid some people's lives... it's better to avoid some."

There is some truth to what he said.

But after hearing the words, Xi Yu slightly raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile, "It is precisely because of this that I am worried that I have invited you here."

"I have already made some regulations on this matter. I plan to lead the army south after Sun Shangxiang enters the inner court. No matter what happens, Sun Quan must recognize the title of Marquis of Wu!"

"We don't need to worry about fighting on the water. The strength of the navy is enough to crush them. If we choose to start from the Bohai Sea and take a detour, we will definitely catch the enemy by surprise."

"As for the cavalry... If you want to go south to Jingzhou, you will definitely encounter the ambush shield formation, and I have already thought of the way to break it!"

He was not joking. The Fudun formation was Ju Yi's famous formation during the Three Kingdoms period. He defeated Gongsun Zan's [-] cavalry with [-] infantry at Jieqiao!

However, his shield formation is not as simple as scratching the belly and legs of the horse. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to lie on the ground with their shields. When the cavalry attacked, they raised their shields and used crossbow arrows to attack the side of the cavalry in the non-impact direction, causing the cavalry to form a formation. confusion.

As for why they didn't use crossbow arrows to attack from the front of the cavalry... of course it was because they were afraid of death.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry is speed, and judging from the galloping state of the horse, if you stand directly opposite the cavalry as a soldier, you may die before you can draw out your crossbow or dagger.

Even if you are holding a shield, don't forget that in addition to your own weight, the opponent also has the weight of the mount and even the armor. Once a stampede occurs, it will only take a few minutes to crush you to death.

Speaking of which, since the fight against Ju Yi, no one has ever used a similar battle formation in history, not even in the history of the world.

As for the reason...it's simple.

Because the soldiers who can participate in this battle must be elite soldiers who are not afraid of death. Otherwise, who has the courage and courage to keep calm and wait for the opportunity when facing the enemy's cavalry attack?
Seeing the enemy cavalry attacking from the front, as long as a person thinks about it, he will have the idea of ​​fleeing. In this way, those who are not mentally strong will be noticed by the enemy, so they will change the direction of the attack and run straight towards the position of our army.

In this way, instead of causing damage to the enemy, the ambush shield formation that originally wanted to kill the enemy made itself a living target.

If the speed of the enemy's impact was reduced by a few points, and they stood still and trampled for a while, I'm afraid that our soldiers would instantly become a joke of being killed by the enemy and trampled to death.

But if they were replaced by elite soldiers to do this, with their psychological quality and military quality, they would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but at the same time, they would also suffer some injuries and would not be able to retreat completely.

This way the army has won, but the loss of the elite in the army is probably not small, and it will make the general feel even more heartbroken if you think about it carefully.

Because it is easy for a large army to lose one or two elite soldiers, but what if it loses hundreds or even tens of thousands?

That would be worth the loss.

No matter how many elite soldiers you have in the army, you can't stand it like this!

Speaking of which, the reason why Ju Yi was able to successfully use the shield array to kill the enemy was because he was not reused.

Yes, at the beginning, he was not the general Yuan Shao sent to command the main force in the battle of Jieqiao, even though he was quite good at training troops.

At that time, if he hadn't gritted his teeth and risked everything to fight this battle in order to be reused, he probably wouldn't have been recorded in the annals of history.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the Volunteer Shield Formation was able to succeed is more or less because of some luck in it.

Now, Xi Yu, who understands the key to this, is not afraid at all when he meets this shield formation!

"It's just... I want to try it out. Is there any other better way to take down Jiangdong!"

Guo Jia blinked, then brushed his beard and said in a deep voice: "It's not easy, but... can we try a business war?"

"It can also make money to divert all the ships that originally transported goods to Jiangdong to the north, and send them to the nomadic peoples such as Xianbei in the north, but Jiangdong will be miserable!"

"However, as long as we block the goods transported to and from Jiangdong, it is equivalent to containing the lifeline of Jiangdong!"

"Well said!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly put the feather fan on the table, stared at Xi Yu with wide eyes and said in surprise, "My lord, when you ordered businessmen in Jiangdong to collect new grains and seeds at high prices early last year, did you already think of it?" today?"

"I'm afraid it won't stop!"

As Jia Xu's son, Jia Ji has some of his father's cleverness in him, and even... at certain times, he is better than blue.

He cupped his fists to greet the uncles around him one by one, and then said: "Actually, Jiangdong bought a large amount of grain seeds from Xiapi a while ago, and the price of these seeds is not high in terms of past friendships. Expensive, even cheap."

"It's just...these are the fried seeds that have been prepared!"

"Presumably, they must think that they have taken advantage of it, but they don't know that after the spring plowing is over...there will be nothing more!"

"Also, even if it's a low price, because of the large quantity, the price we sell to Jiangdong is not too bad."

"I want to wait for this year's autumn harvest. Jiangdong, who has no crops, will buy food from me again. At that time, they have already played the old friendship card once, and they must not be qualified to lick their faces again."

"Of course, even if they are shameless, we are qualified and confident to refuse directly!"

"Purchasing high-priced grain is imperative. As long as we are willing, a stone of grain and hundreds of taels of gold are all right. In order not to starve, Jiangdong may have to use all the strength of the whole territory to gather grain and grass."

"Of course, all of this is the worst plan. The premise depends on whether Sun Quan is willing to accept the title of Marquis Wu!"

He ended with what Xi Yu said earlier, which made everyone want to laugh.

How come these words are so powerful and domineering when they come out of the master's mouth, but they seem a bit nondescript when they fall into this kid's mouth?
"Cough~ This plan is wonderful. In ancient times, Wu was punished by inoculation. When King Goujian of Yue returned the grain of Wu King Fuchai, he not only cooked the highest quality grain, but also paid back a little more, which made Wu King Fuchai very happy. Sow it so that there will be no harvest in the year."

Zhuge Liang coughed lightly, and put away the raised corners of his mouth: "Now, I'm going to sell the roasted seeds to Soochow, so that it has to bow its head. This plan is really brilliant! It's really scary for future generations, Zhuang Xian!"

Originally, I was quite happy to hear people praise Jia Ji. After all, these uncles in front of me are the most famous counselors in the world, and it is really a blessing to get their praise.

But when he heard the last two words, he really couldn't bear the resentment.

Is it really too ugly to say this word?
Only daring to complain in his heart, he secretly glanced at Xi Yu while hesitating to speak, but met the playful eyes of the other party.

really!The lord did it on purpose back then!

I don't know how my father offended the lord in the first place, and the retribution came to me.

Yes, his word was given by Jia Xu to Xi Yu, but Xi Yu was busy at the time, and Jia Xu kept talking, so the two words he said casually became the words that accompanied him for the rest of his life. !
Although it sounds weird and not as loud as Huang Xu's words, but because it came from Xi Yu's mouth, even if he doesn't like it, he can only accept it gratefully.

Jia Zhuangxian... Hiss~ The more I think about it, the worse it sounds!

Seeing that Jia Ji frowned slightly, and even the corners of his eyes began to twitch unconsciously, Xi Yu kindly let him go, turned to look to the side, and called, "Xu'er!"

"exist!"

On the side, Huang Xu, who had been so stunned by a group of counselors talking about you and me that he couldn't hold his eyelids, suddenly woke up and got up immediately.

As a general, what he dislikes the most is the various "conspiracies and tricks" of the counselors, so even at the court meeting, once he encounters a situation like today, he will stay quietly in a corner where there is no one yawn.

"After a while, will you go out with foster father?"

"But going to Jiangdong? I'm so happy!"

Huang Xu's face was full of smiles, and he didn't see the listless and lazy look before.

It is said that the people of Jiangdong are outstanding, so if I accompany my adoptive father this time, I may also meet some happy women.

At that time, together with my stepfather, I will bring them all back!

In addition, the skills of Jiangdong craftsmen seem to be good. I wonder how it compares with the craftsmen of Xiapi?
By the way, there seem to be quite a few martial artists over there, so it would be nice if we could have a few fights with them.

I just don't know, how many tricks can they live with themselves?
"Well, how many people do you think you will bring with you on this trip?"

Hearing this, Huang Xu's eyes lit up first, then he thought for a moment, and said: "Father, I think one thousand is enough, including five hundred dead soldiers, three hundred black riders, and two hundred white riders!"

"Of course, if Uncle Feng Xiao and Brother Zhuang Xian can be added, that would be even better!"

"Well! Where is the general? Who is the main one?"

"General Uncle Wen Yuan!"

Regarding this candidate, Huang Xu said without hesitation, which shows that he has long harbored ill intentions.

Xi Yu couldn't help but shook his head with a smile when he heard the words, this kid really wanted to find something.

Taking Wen Yuan away, isn't he afraid that the two brothers of the Sun family will be pissed off?
Speaking of this, we have to mention Wenyuan, that is, the "indissoluble bond" between Zhang Liao and the Sun brothers.

This person is regarded as a relatively famous general of Cao Wei in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period in history.

He was originally a descendant of Nie Yi. At first, he served as an official of Yanmen County.

He also followed Ding Yuan, He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu successively, fulfilling their duties and going through ups and downs.

After Lu Bu's defeat, he belonged to Cao Cao again, and since then, he has made many outstanding achievements.

Persuading the enemy to surrender Changxi, attacking the Yuan family and moving to Hebei, leading the vanguard in the Battle of Bailangshan to defeat Wuhuan and behead Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun, expel Liaodong General Liu Yi, calm down the rebellion in the army, and march Jianghuai defeated Chen Lan and Mei Cheng...

Since then, he has guarded Hefei for a long time.

In the 20th year of Jian'an, in the Battle of Hefei, he led [-] soldiers to attack the [-] army of Soochow, and charged all the way to Sun Quan's commander, making the Soochow army invincible.

When Soochow withdrew, Zhang Liao led the pursuers, defeated Sun Quan, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and others, and almost captured Sun Quan alive.

After this battle, Zhang Liao shocked Jiangdong.

"Zhang Liao stopped crying" has become an allusion that has been passed down through the ages.

In the first year of Huang Chu, he was enfeoffed as Marquis of Jinyang, and after contracting an illness, Sun Quan still feared him very much.

In the third year of Huang Chu, he was still sick and defeated Wu general Lu Fan.

However, there is no way for people to live in heaven. These heroes died of illness in Jiangdu in the same year, and their posthumous titles were Ganghou.

Zhang Liao was admired by all dynasties, and he is one of the 64 famous generals in ancient and modern times.

This is also the reason why Xi Yu fell in love with him and brought him under his command.

Of course, the more important thing is that this guy suits his appetite. If not, why didn't he pull Sima Yi under his banner?
However, these are all recorded in historical materials. For now, the Battle of Hefei has not yet begun, and the Sun Quan brothers' fear of Zhang Liao is not as serious as that of later generations.

But even so, when they heard the word Zhang Liao, the hearts of everyone in Jiangdong trembled.

Lu Su a few days ago is the best proof.

At that time, after he learned that Zhang Liao was guarding Hefei, his face turned pale.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Liao's outstanding military exploits have been built in the past few years!

"If it doesn't work...then take Uncle Zhongkang and Uncle Dianwei? Anyway, these two uncles have nothing to do all day long."

Jian Xiyu was silent, Huang Xu rolled his eyes slightly, and turned to look at the two people not far away, which aroused the other party's dissatisfaction.

Especially Dian Wei, staring at a pair of bull's eyes, said loudly: "Hey! How do you talk, you little bastard?"

Then, Xu Chu stood up unhappily.

The two stood on the left and right sides of Xi Yu, like door gods, guarding Xi Yu inside.

Speaking of it, in fact, Shan Xiyu's skill alone in this world is rarely comparable to anyone in this world. Now with the addition of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the value of force can be called explosive.

One of these two is mighty and heroic, and the other is extremely brave. It is not easy to break through these two and come to Xi Yu's side!
Regardless of their age, especially Xu Chu, who suffered from serious leg injuries a few years ago, but his martial arts skills have not deteriorated in the slightest, and his strength is even more frightening.

In addition, their brains are definitely enough. They are all people who can become generals. Naturally, the city is deep. Turn things around.

It is precisely because these two people are extremely mature now that they will not reveal their true inner thoughts in the face of any situation, that Xi Yu will let them retreat from the battlefield and become the commanders of the army.

After all, compared with the brave generals who charge forward on the battlefield, what he lacks more is the talents of generals who are brave, resourceful and stable like old dogs!

Even if the other party is no longer young.

Of course, based on the personalities of these two people, even if they are older, they will still be the best candidates for the brave generals who charge on the battlefield.

Speaking of it, this trip to Jiangdong didn't have to be so mobilizing. After all, the total number of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong is about 30, which is far inferior to his youth.

Even the navy army among them is only 5 people, and they are still scattered among the various armies.
