The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 260 Wulin
Zhang Wu looked at the sand table and felt that what Zhuge Liang said made sense. The battle between the two armies is not just a game. To play a game, it will take a lot of energy and material resources to gather nearly 20 troops from both sides. beated.

Since he wanted to really fight, Zhou Yu must choose a position that is more beneficial to him, but as a traverser, Zhang Wu is too sensitive to Chibi, because this place is so famous.

Zhang Wu asked again: "Since this is the case, how should our army respond?"

Pang Tong said: "The Jiangdong army stationed in Chibi is to force our army to fight against it. Otherwise, they can use the main force of the navy to ensure their retreat, and then send an elite navy to attack Jiangling or destroy it along the river. Therefore, our army had to go. The water surface here is wide, suitable for large troops to station, we can confront the Jiangdong army here."

Zhang Wu looked along Pang Tong's hand, and saw that the place he was pointing at was Wulin.

Isn't this the place where Cao Cao was stationed when he confronted Sun Liu's allied forces in history?
Chibi, Wulin, is this the reenactment of the Battle of Chibi?
Zhang Wu was stunned. Could it be that what should appear must appear?

Now Zhou Yu's navy is in Chibi, and Zhang Wu is going to Wulin. As a time traveler, Zhang Wu is a little disgusted by this, which is a bit unlucky!
"Shiyuan, besides Wulin, is there any other place suitable for the army to station?" Zhang Wu asked.

"Yes, there is, but it's not as good as Wulin's location. But no matter where we are stationed, there is a factor that is very unfavorable to us now, that is, we will be at a disadvantage, and the most fatal weakness of our chained ships is that they are afraid of fire. Attack. Probably Zhou Yu also thought of this, so he forced us to fight there. My lord can calculate that there will be a south wind in the cold winter, but I wonder if my lord can calculate whether there will be a westerly wind in spring?" Pang Tong asked.

Zhang Wu knew what Pang Tong meant by this, so he said: "As the saying goes, 'the spring is warm before, and the spring is cold after', and the phenomenon of 'cold spring after' also occurs from time to time. It has been rainy these days, and cold waves come from time to time. I have seen There may be a 'cold spring' in a few days, and maybe there will be a northwesterly wind."

Hearing what Zhang Wu said, everyone knew it in their hearts. Since the lord has said so, it can be guaranteed that the northwest wind will appear when it should appear, just like the south wind last time.

"In this case, let's station in Wulin, and wait for the opportunity to fight the Jiangdong army." Pang Tong said.

Zhang Wu asked again: "What if we send troops to reinforce Jiangling and attack Chaisang at the same time?"

Xu Shu replied: "My lord, although Sun Quan and Zhou Yu went to Chibi, they left behind Xu Sheng and [-] sailors to guard Chaisang. If we send fewer troops to Jiangling, we will definitely not be able to stop Zhou Yu. If we go If there are too many, we may not be able to capture Chaisang. That Xu Sheng is also a famous Jiangdong general, very good at water warfare."

If Zhang Wu let Jiangling ignore it and went to attack Chaisang, then Zhou Yu would definitely attack Jiangling with a large army. Just like Xu Shu said, at worst the two sides would switch.Although Chaisang is very important to Jiangdong, it is not as meaningful as Jiangling to Jingzhou after all. It is like exchanging one's rook for the opponent's horse when playing chess, which is a bit of a disadvantage.

"Okay, the army rushes to Wulin, where we will have a decisive battle with the Jiangdong army!" Zhang Wu ordered.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are pressing Jiangdong's future and destiny, forcing Zhang Wu to fight, and Zhang Wu has to fight, not only because Zhang Wu originally wanted to fight Jiangdong, but also because if Zhang Wu avoids fighting , it will deplete the morale of the army.

Zhang Wu also had to admire Zhou Yu's foresight and courage. The decisive battle with Jingzhou at this time is indeed the time when Jiangdong has the highest chance of winning. If Jingzhou is ready to take the lead in attacking, it will be hard to say.Moreover, Zhou Yu put himself in a very favorable position with such a small trick, which is worthy of being Jiangdong Zhoulang.

In Chibi, the Jiangdong navy was coming from nearby tributaries one after another to gather. The water near Chibi was already covered with Jiangdong army's warships.

Zhou Yu sent Jiang Qin to lead a fleet of 3000 people up the Yangtze River, on the one hand to inquire about Jiangling's military situation, and on the other hand, to harass and harass Jingzhou's morale.

Standing on the deck, Sun Quan looked at the densely packed warships and soldiers around him. This was the main force of the Jiangdong army, and most of the family assets were here. If this battle was defeated, Jiangdong would not perish immediately, but the countdown would begin.

"Gongjin, will Zhang Wu come? What if he directly attacks Chaisang?" Sun Quan was still a little worried. Chaisang controls the Poyang Lake Plain, an important grain-producing area in Jiangdong. If Zhang Wu takes Chaisang, half of Jiangdong will be destroyed. Gone.

Although Jiangdong has a large geographical area, only the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the vicinity of Poyang Lake are plains, and other places are mountainous, which is not conducive to Jiangdong Army operations, but it is quite suitable for Jingzhou infantry operations.

"Don't worry, my lord, Zhang Wu will definitely come. Chaisang is guarded by Wenxiang. Although he is not the main opponent of the Jingzhou navy in a direct confrontation, there is no problem in defending Chaisang for a month. As long as Zhang Wu dares to attack Chaisang, we will fight." If we go to attack Jiangling or the four counties of Jingnan, Zhang Wu has the upper hand now and won’t dare to trade with us.”

Zhou Yu was sure that Zhang Wu would follow his lead, because Jingzhou's enemy was not only Jiangdong, but also Cao Cao, who hated Zhang Wu to his core and was always eyeing him.If Zhang Wu dares to sabotage each other with Jiang Dong, then he will be taken advantage of by Cao Cao.

Sun Quan looked at the busy Jiangdong soldiers around him and was filled with emotions.

For more than ten years, Jiangdong has been suppressing Jingzhou. When Sun Jianbing surrounded Xiangyang City, he almost wiped out Liu Biao, but unfortunately he died in the ambush.If Sun Jian hadn't died and Liu Biao had been wiped out, the current situation is really hard to say what would happen, maybe it was a confrontation between the North and the South, maybe it was Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Sun Jian's tripartite confrontation.

In fact, in the original book, Sun Quan also had a very good opportunity after he succeeded, that is, after killing Huang Zu, Jiangdong had already opened a gap in Jingzhou. Unfortunately, just in time for Cao Cao to go south, Sun Quan fought Cao Jun before he could capture Jingzhou. In the end, the Cao, Sun, and Liu families divided up Jingzhou.

It's a pity that after Huang Zu's death, Zhang Wulai suddenly appeared and defeated Jiangdong's army several times. Now Zhang Wu has become the shepherd of Jingzhou, and Jingzhou's strength has surpassed that of Jiangdong.

Sun Quan really regretted that he didn't try his best to kill Zhang Wu when he was still young. Now he has become Jiangdong's biggest scourge. He has both the ambition and the strength to destroy Jiangdong.

Now that things are up to now, I can only place my hope on the great governor by my side, and hope that Taoist Gong Chong will do well and wipe out the main force of the Jingzhou navy in one fell swoop.

Sun Quan knew Zhou Yu's ability very well. When he followed his elder brother Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, Sun Quan fought with Sun Ce many times, against Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, and Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia. He witnessed Zhou Yu's peerless talent with his own eyes.

But after all, Zhou Yu was Sun Ce's confidant and had a high reputation among the Jiangdong Army, so Sun Quan was quite wary of Zhou Yu in his heart and did not dare to hand over the army to Zhou Yu's leadership.

Although Sun Quan personally promoted many subordinates, recruited many confidantes, and many of them are quite talented, but there is really no one who can compare with Zhou Yu. Now it is the moment of Jiangdong's life and death, and Sun Quan has to rely on Zhou Yu up.

Zhou Yu actually knew it in his heart, but he never complained about Sun Quan. He has been dutifully assisting Sun Quan to gradually eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers and firmly control Jiangdong's power, because he wants to repay Sun Ce's kindness of knowing him back then.
