Han counter current

In this way, when Chen Feng turned his back on the Yuan family back then, it was really a heroic act. I admire it a little bit. I am afraid that I will not be able to make such a decision if I am in a different place... ,"

Sitting in the cabin, Zhuge Liang was thinking hard about how he should go next.A storm is about to break out on Jiangdong's side, and he doesn't want to get involved, so he must leave Zhou Yu as soon as possible.

As for surrendering Chen Feng, he thought it was impossible.What's more, Chen Feng's subordinates are also full of talents now. His Zhuge Liang's background is there, and now he goes to join Chen Feng.

It doesn't seem appropriate to go to Jingnan. At present, Sima Yi is not so much holding on, but looking for a suitable time to retreat. If it wasn't for the complicated terrain in Jingnan, which is conducive to holding on, and Xu Huang needs time to rectify his troops, I'm afraid, Sima Yi couldn't hold it anymore.

"Hmph, Sima Yi, he has held on for so long because he hasn't cleared the way to Central Shu. I have to say, this person's vision is really vicious, and he aimed there a few months ago.

Forget it, there are only less than [-] soldiers and horses left, and the food and grass are still borrowed. After contacting the old army left by the lord, it is time to find a way to explore the way in the middle of Shu.

Generally speaking, there are still a few years. Chen Feng needs time to digest the results of the battle in the north. The storm on the Jiangdong side will take several months. Central Sichuan is indeed the most suitable place for me to go. "

In the middle of Shu, there is still Liu Zhang guarding him, which is the last force of the Liu clan.Zhuge Liang was originally an old minister of Liu Bei, and he was most familiar with this route of retreat because he had been sent to Shuzhong before.

The most important thing is that the life in central Sichuan is not easy now, the internal and external officials are fighting each other, the local power in central Sichuan and the foreign factions are intrigues, no one is at ease.

The Nanman in the south often made rebellions and plundered the villages and towns near the mountains and forests, which caused a lot of trouble for Liu Zhang's rule, and the local troops in central Shu were not enough to wipe out the Nanman army for the time being.

Hanzhong side, although has maintained calm.However, Chen Feng dispatched generals to guard various places in Hanzhong, and the slogan of sergeant training on Dingjun Mountain never stopped, which greatly threatened Liu Zhang's rule.

In addition, Chen Feng's strength in the northwest area is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even up to now, Chen Feng has not revealed his intention to invade Shuzhong, but for Liu Zhang and the major families in Shuzhong, there is such a powerful neighbor. , none of them slept well.

"In the name of the lord, I sent troops to rescue in Shu. Although the young lord was taken captive, the lord's fake son Liu Feng seems to be living in Jingnan area. Right now, the only way to join him is to send troops to Shu. "

After making this decision, Zhuge Liang's thinking immediately became clear.Right now is the best opportunity for him to expand his strength. As long as he can raise Liu Bei's banner again, it will not be difficult to summon tens of thousands of troops.

On the Jiangdong Army's side, after hearing that the Jingzhou Army was going to take the initiative to retreat, all the soldiers cheered for joy.The powerful Jingzhou army was repelled by them, and they can return to their hometown safely.

Zhou Yu couldn't enjoy this joy, and he could probably guess what would happen when he returned to Jiangdong.Cheng Pu led his army back to Jiangdong, he had already heard that someone must be responsible for Huang Gai's death.

Chapter 825 Exploring the Future 2

Zhuge Liang's path lies in the middle of Shu. As long as he can operate well, he will definitely be able to go to the middle of Shu to achieve a career. At that time, he can also unite with Jiangdong to fight against Chen Feng, so as to achieve a three-point situation in the world.

From the day when he was successful in his studies, Zhuge Liang had very high demands on himself. He always thought that he was the kind of famous official who could turn the tide and turn the building from down to earth. Therefore, it was impossible for him to choose the powerful Chen Feng, because that would not reveal his ability.

From Liu Bei to Sun Quan, and now to Liu Zhang in the middle of Shu, Zhuge Liang’s choice has never changed. The place he is going to is a stage where he can show his fists and ambitions. After that, he will defeat Chen Feng step by step , Help your lord to win the world.

But at this moment, for Zhou Yu, a more dangerous challenge is coming soon.The Jingzhou army really withdrew its troops, and Yangzhou also became calm, and there was no further fighting between the two sides.

Sun Quan directly ordered Tai Shici to lead the troops to retreat. The main task of the Jiangdong Army was to shrink the defense line and strengthen the city defense.He Qi was transferred back to Jiangdong by Sun Quan in the name of resisting the looting of Shanyue, which can be regarded as showing great sincerity.

And Zhang Xiu also took the initiative to retreat after receiving Chen Feng's order. Lu Xiao's troops returned directly to Chang'an to stand by. His troops guarded the northern part of Yangzhou. The two sides jointly created a buffer zone more than 50 miles wide.

The powerful enemy retreated, and Jiangdong's external threat was temporarily eliminated. Right now, it was time for Sun Quan to free up his hands to eliminate dissidents and gather military power. After all, he always wanted to control the military power in his own hands.

The first to be cleaned up by Sun Quan was Gan Ning, who was quickly promoted by Zhou Yu on the front line. This outsider had the shallowest foundation and was the easiest to clean up. At the same time, Sun Quan also wanted to shake the mountain.

Gan Ning was accused of too many crimes. He led [-] elite soldiers to attack the enemy's rear, but failed to complete the mission, which delayed the army's attack plan, and made Governor Zhou Yu's plan to wipe out the enemy army fail.

During the retreat, Gan Ning was incompetent in his command, and the 100 elite fell into a tight siege. In the end, only more than [-] people escaped, and all of them were injured.

Most importantly, Sun Quan learned from the returned soldiers that Gan Ning was an acquaintance with the enemy general, and that he did not break out of the encirclement at all, but a general of the enemy army decided to let him go.

Sun Quan couldn't bear this kind of private communication with the enemy on the battlefield.It's okay if it's really a personal relationship, but Sun Quan believes that Chen Feng can't tolerate this kind of private release of enemy generals on the battlefield. If it happens, Chen Feng will definitely punish him severely.

After Sun Quan sent people to inquire many times, he did not hear that the sacrificial wine named Mufu among the enemy troops was punished. On the contrary, he is still holding an important position in Jingzhou, responsible for many important matters of peace talks with his side.

What does this mean?Explaining that it was Chen Feng's intention to give Gan Ning a way out, was that Mu just a messenger? Could it be that Gan Ning and Chen Feng knew each other well, or that Gan Ning had already secretly joined Chen Feng?

"This Gan Ning was originally a general of Huang Zu in Jingzhou, although he was not used in Jingzhou, but he was still a lieutenant in the army, and his authority was not small.

When he came to Jiangdong, did he really just want to make contributions here?Although Huang Zu didn't promote him, he didn't treat him badly either. Before this person fled Jiangxia, he caused a lot of trouble, but Huang Zu didn't chase him down.

Could it be that this person was sent by Huang Zu from the beginning to fail in his meticulous work, and then Huang Zu surrendered to Chen Feng to show his merits, so he revealed the line of Gan Ning?

If not, why would our army's [-] elite sneak into the enemy's camp secretly and return without success? Gan Ning claimed that he encountered the enemy general Pang De and was almost beheaded.

However, General Cheng Pu and General Huang Gai said before that Gan Ning's martial arts skills are extremely high.Looking at the Jiangdong generals, they are only weaker than Taishi Ziyi, and a little bit stronger than Zhou Tai and Ding Feng.

This kind of brave man is also good at commanding the navy, and he has led more than a hundred troops to attack the enemy camp at night many times before, and he has succeeded many times without seeing his troops being damaged. Pound to defeat it? "

Sun Quan wanted to target Zhou Yu from the very beginning, so he disliked anyone who had a relationship with Zhou Yu.Gan Ning's previous performance was actually not bad, but unfortunately, he had Zhou Yu's brand on him, so Sun Quan didn't like him no matter what.

When he was thinking hard alone, Sun Quan found many doubts about Gan Ning.There were many places that could not be explained at all. In this situation, Sun Quan had a guess, that is, there was something wrong with Gan Ning.

As for the general in question, and he had just joined the army not long ago, and more importantly, Gan Ning had the shadows of Huang Zu and Zhou Yu in him, so how could Sun Quan trust him to appoint him.

The final result was that Gan Ning, who had just returned to Jiangdong, was sent to prison directly. The reason was that his ineffectiveness in combat resulted in the annihilation of the entire army, and all the dozens of cronies he brought back from the battlefield were also imprisoned. prison.

When Zhou Yu heard the news, Gan Ning had been imprisoned for almost five days. After thinking about it, Zhou Yu dared to go to see Sun Quan. It seemed that he already knew what Sun Quan was going to do.

The expected conflicts and confrontations did not appear, and many countermeasures that Sun Quan had envisioned were not even implemented in time.Because Zhou Yu didn't come to ask for trouble at all.

He brought the commander-in-chief seal of the great governor, and the saber entrusted by Sun Quan before, which could not be more obvious.He, Zhou Yu, didn't want to fight with anyone, nor did he want Jiangdong to have infighting. All he could do was to return his military power and go home to recuperate.

Faced with this situation, Sun Quan did not expect it. He never believed that a man would bow his head in front of absolute power and resist the temptation of power. , he can make some interest concessions.

"Zhou Gongjin, Zhou Gongjin, what on earth are you trying to do? Are you advancing by retreating? Doing this really makes it impossible for me to deal with you, but someone must be responsible for the death of General Huang.

This defeat is completely different from the promise you made before the battle. Shouldn't you pay the price for your arrogance?You dare to promote people like Gan Ning, shouldn't you be ashamed of your own vision..."

At night, Sun Quan fell into deep thought.He can deprive Zhou Yu of his power and humiliate Zhou Yu, but he can't kill Zhou Yu. Therefore, from the beginning, he just wanted to use various excuses to regain military power from Zhou Yu, and at the same time quell the war after the war at the cost of sacrificing Zhou Yu. The wrath of certain generals.

But right now, Zhou Yu has already given in. No matter how powerful Sun Quan is, he will not be able to persecute him further. Otherwise, Zhou Yu will be really pissed. , Sun Quan dare to go too far?

Chapter 826 Sima's Worry 1

Three months have passed since the Jiangdong Army withdrew its troops. Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, finally took back most of Jiangdong's military power through a series of means of his own.

Those generals who were closer to Zhou Yu before were punished by Sun Quan one by one.The worst thing was Gan Ning. He fought to the death on the battlefield, and in the end he was reused by Sun Quan's words, and then Sun Quan sent him to the seaside to kill pirates. The key point is that Sun Quan gave him more than a dozen broken ships and three old and weak soldiers

The rest, such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ding Feng, etc., even if they have unclear relations with Zhou Yu, they still have two or three thousand plays in their hands anyway, and they have no credit or hard work on the battlefield. , although Sun Quan warned them in a corner, but in the end they all gave corresponding rewards.

So far, many generals have understood a path, no matter how hard they work, no matter how much they want to make meritorious service, they must ensure that they can still control part of their strength after the war, otherwise, Sun Quan will really not treat you as a human being .

Although Zhou Yu voluntarily resigned from the post of governor, no one dared to move the [-] plays of the Zhou family. That was Zhou Yu’s private property. Zhou Yu himself supported them, and Sun Quan could not interfere. In addition, he owned [-] plays Qu's Zhou Yu and Sun Quan couldn't do anything either.

If Gan Ning could understand this truth earlier, he would not have worked so hard in that battle.When Zhou Yu promoted his trilogy to 3000 people, he actually deliberately told him to fight with his brain, but Gan Ning didn't understand.

After losing all the parts, no matter how capable he is, he is just a dog in Sun Quan's eyes. Sun Quan wants to move him, and it is not a matter of one or two words.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu tried his best to stop him, and other generals also admired Gan Ning's bravery, so Sun Quan didn't do anything to Gan Ning, and instead gave him an impossible task.

In comparison, maybe Huang Gai was even worse. He died in battle, most of his songs were destroyed, and the status of the Huang family plummeted. If it wasn't for Cheng Pu's assistance, the Huang family would really have to be removed from the army this time. up.

Sun Quan's frivolity and lack of kindness were once again revealed. Many times, these Jiangdong generals did not understand their master's temperament. If they really thought that they could win Sun Quan's favor just by working hard, they were simply wrong.
