Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 1001 Sima Yi's Conspiracy

Qin Feng, who successfully evacuated from Jiangdong, did not return to Beijing, but set up his military headquarters in Wancheng.

The 30 elite Qin army suppressed the northern part of Jingzhou, and the whole Jingzhou was shaken.

Qin Feng appointed Zhou Yu as the commander of the Southern Fleet, Cheng Pu as the deputy commander, and Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others as generals.

Then, another good news came.With the support of the Jiangnan Intelligence Guard, Qin Feng's third apprentice, Zhu Huan, led Cheng Pu and other family members out of Jiangdong.

Qin Feng was overjoyed and asked his second apprentice, Zhu Huan, to join in the construction of the Southern Fleet.

Cheng Pu and the others now have their family members, their worries are gone, and their hearts are at ease.

So far, Qin Feng's eldest apprentice, second apprentice, and third apprentice have been reunited under the master's command.

Although Qin Feng's border line pressed down to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River Navy remained and was renamed the Northern Fleet.

He told Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Zhou Yu, Zhu Huan and others that in the future, the navy would not be confined to the rivers, but would expand its horizons to the ocean.Today is the Navy Fleet, and tomorrow it will be the Navy Fleet.

From then on, the age of great exploration was put on the agenda.Therefore, the Qin army built a dock on the Lujiang River on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the warships built were all warships with keels and sharp bottoms suitable for the ocean.Such warships can also fight in big rivers.

In mid-April, Qin Feng held a military conference on the Southern Expedition.

At the meeting, all military advisers and generals from all walks of life spoke one after another.

The Qin army has three choices, one is to attack Jingzhou, the other is to attack Jiangdong, and the third is to fight on two fronts.

This is the first time that the Qin army entered the south on a large scale to fight. Due to the geography and environment, Qin Feng did not consider fighting on two fronts.

Since the Qin army does not yet have a large-scale navy in the Yangtze River, it will be very difficult to land across the Yangtze River.Moreover, Liu Bei in Jingzhou owns Xinye, Fancheng and other important Jiangbei towns (the Jiangbei here is the Han River), threatening Qin Feng's hinterland of the Central Plains at any time.The Qin army faced the east of the river and could defend along the river.

Therefore, Qin Feng decided to defend Jiangdong in the east.Then attack Jingzhou in the west.Capture Jingzhou, and then invade the East.

Cao Cao's southern expedition in later generations also had such a grand strategy.

At the end of April, the north has fully entered the summer harvest.

A large amount of food and supplies began to gather in Wancheng.

At this time, heavy rains fell in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River entered the summer flood, and the water volume soared.

With the continuous heavy rain, the Yangtze River flooded.

Since the Jiangdong area suffered from floods as early as the spring flood, this time, it was worse and more serious.The flood of the Yangtze River was completely connected to Poyang Lake, Qiantang River, etc. For a while, a place thousands of miles away from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River became the country of Ze, and millions of people were displaced.

This time, the Jingzhou area in the middle reaches is not immune.

The Jiangling area of ​​Jingzhou until Jingzhou belongs to the Jiangxia area was severely affected by the disaster.

The flood is merciless.

Jingzhou and Jiangdong suffered heavy losses.

this day.

Xiangyang City.

Located on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Han River, this majestic city was first built in the sixth year of Emperor Gaodi of the Western Han Dynasty.Surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.Xiong occupies the upper reaches of the Han River, and since Liu Biao came to Xiangzhou as a herdsman in Jingzhou, it has been the state, county, prefecture, and county government.The old city was used as a military base until the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the original earthen city was changed to a brick city. Xiangyang City was valued by military strategists of all dynasties. It is one of the most famous ancient city architectural defense systems in Chinese history.

At this moment, outside the tall city wall of Xiangyang City, which is more than fourteen miles away, refugees are surrounded.

At least more than [-] refugees came to Xiangyang City, more than the number of people in the city.

in the mansion.

Liu Bei was terrified all day long, so he said to Zhuge Liang: "Military Master, hundreds of thousands of refugees are waiting to be fed. Now that Qin Feng has got the news, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack me southward in Jingzhou. How can we not resist, how can we resist!"

Under internal worries, Liu Bei felt that it was impossible to withstand Qin Feng's attack.

Now, it is obvious that Qin Feng's attack direction is Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan anxiously, originally he had the confidence to resist Qin Feng.But now that Jingzhou has suffered from floods, it is like a strong man who is seriously ill, and it is too late to recover from his illness, and he is no longer able to fight.All of a sudden, Zhuge Liang lost confidence.

Zhuge Liang waved his fan and said, "My lord, please send troops from Jiangdong to Hefei to contain Qin Feng. Then send people to Shuzhong to seek reinforcements."

Liu Bei followed his words, on the one hand, he sent Yiji to Jiangdong, and on the other hand, he sent Sun Qian to Shuzhong.

Yiji soon came to Jianye and delivered Liu Bei's letter.

Sun Quan also has means. He took over Jiangdong in its entirety, and Zhou Tai and others will surrender.He arranged for Yiji to rest and called Sima Yi to discuss matters.

a while.

Sima Yi came to the Marquis Wu's mansion with dark circles under his eyes, and under Zhou Tai's guidance, he entered the Marquis Wu's conference hall with a tired expression.

Sun Quan greeted him and said, "Second Brother, I have really worked hard on you during this time."

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Sima Yi said hastily.

Jiangdong was hit hard by the disaster, and the burden of helping millions of refugees fell on Sima Yi, who hadn't closed his eyes for two days.He thought that Sun Quan had summoned him to ask about disaster relief, so he said, "The work of each family has been done, and each family is willing to provide food for disaster relief."

Sima Yi said angrily again: "Every family has seen clearly at this meeting. If they don't save them, if millions of refugees explode, they will suffer."

Sun Quan took out Liu Bei's letter and showed it to Sima Yi, saying: "It is clear that Qin Feng's main attack direction is Jingzhou, and Jiangdong is very safe. Now is the time to rescue the victims and make peace. If you send troops to provoke Qin Feng, you are not asking for trouble." ? If I don’t move, people will say that I have betrayed my promise, lost the Jingzhou Alliance, and I, Jiangdong, can’t do anything alone. It’s really a dilemma.”

Only then did Sima Yi know why he was summoned.

Sun Quan was indeed in a dilemma. Jiangdong was in the lower reaches of Jingzhou, and the disaster was worse than Jingzhou.It's too late for Sun Quan to rescue the disaster, so there are no extra resources to start a war with Qin Feng.But to not go to war is to break faith.Jingzhou is destroyed, and Jiangdong cannot survive alone.

But if there is a war, food and supplies must focus on the military, and if the victims of the disaster cannot receive relief, it will become a civil uprising.In the midst of civil strife, going to war with the Qin army again, isn't it self-inflicted death.

Sima Yi suddenly felt that the situation was difficult, and said: "It is reported that Qin Feng has colluded with Shanyue."

Sun Quan's blue eyes immediately turned purple. Thinking about going to war with Qin Feng, Shanyue would come out. In addition to the catastrophe of the victims, it was undoubtedly a dead end for him. "Second brother, do you have a solution?"

For a long time, Sima Yi remained silent.

Sun Quan watched him thinking, but didn't say anything.

After a long time, thanks to Sun Quan, he kept silent.Sima Yi smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, I have a plan. I can retreat from the Qin army and get Jingnan from Liu Bei."

Sun Quan was overjoyed and asked for advice.

Sima Yi smiled steadily: "So, so, so, so..., you can avoid wars, help the victims, and expand the area. You can kill three birds with one stone."

Sun Quan was dazed, then ecstatic, and felt that all his efforts to attract Sima Yi and imitate Taoyuan's sworn brotherhood were not in vain.Sun Quan's blue eyes fluttered immediately, his purple beard flew away, and he said in succession, "Brother, this is a great plan, great plan!"

　Thanks: Brother Jiantou gave a reward of 712 starting coins, as well as brothers such as Yuansheng, Kongchenglei, and Shuyou [-].
