At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Tai Shici thought it was right, so he didn't think about it any more, and nodded, as if this matter didn't exist.

Naturally, they wouldn't understand Guo Peng's thoughts and purpose, but it didn't matter, because the current situation was indeed proceeding according to Director Guo Da's script.

Zhou Yu commanded Wu Jun to smash the powerful mountain and Vietnamese coalition forces in Yuyao County. More than 3 rebels were defeated for a while. They were chased and killed for more than ten miles. The army went straight up and surrounded the powerful Shanyue coalition forces in Yuyao County.

Thirty thousand Wu troops surrounded Yuyao County with water, attacking day and night.

Zhou Yu originally thought that the battle would last for a month or two before the winner could be decided, but unexpectedly, the winner would be decided within half a month.

About half a month later, civil strife broke out in the city of Yuyao, and the remnants of the defeated generals continued to attack each other. The Wu army broke into the city without much effort. After a fierce battle, the rebels were killed and the entire army was wiped out. Within Yuyao County.

Zhou Yu went into the city to check and found that most of the surviving rebels were very thin and looked like they didn't have enough to eat. He felt strange, so he sent someone to ask them why they were in civil strife.

The rebel prisoners wept and replied that they thought the food hoarded in the city was enough, so they returned to hold on, only to find that a large part of the hoarded food was fake sand, and there was not much edible food at all. Only then did civil unrest break out.

Zhou Yu was very surprised, and immediately went to the warehouse where the rebel army was hoarding grain and grass to check.

After looking at it, it turned out that this was indeed the case. The grain and grass in the warehouse in the city seemed to be piled up like a mountain, but when I tore open the sack, I found that it was full of sand, not grain at all.

What's happening here?

Someone in the rebel army embezzled food, so they faked it with sand, but they didn't expect to trap everyone?

This is really bad news.

Zhou Yu felt that this was the real reason, and that it was God helping him.

Allowing him to wipe out the rebels so smoothly, he didn't even let the Wei army complete the army and start attacking Jiangdong during this period, giving him sufficient time to organize the army.

Chapter 715 The Battle of Life and Death in the Four Kingdoms of Wu

In this battle, Zhou Yu wiped out the main force of the Jiangdong local rebels, and Kuaiji County returned to the control of the Wu army.

Zhou Yu immediately ordered to search all over Kuaiji County for the powerful gentry who participated in the rebellion against the Sun Wu regime, and punish them according to the usual standards—in order to win over his own people and make them work for the Sun Wu regime, and because Wu’s treasury was short of money and unable to reward them, So Zhou Yu thought of the method used by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

It is allowed for the generals to lead their respective armies to sweep up the local powerful manors after the war as a reward for them. As long as they can take it, they can sweep up and take away the property.

But land and population cannot be robbed.

To put it simply, the land and population belong to Wu, and the property belongs to the victorious soldiers, so as to inspire people, boost morale, and make soldiers dare to fight.

This kind of reward method is more radical than when Sun Ce was still there, so he basically got the support of the soldiers. On the one hand, there are military salaries and looted property on the other hand, which increases the motivation for fighting.

So a very tragic post-war looting began.

For five whole days, the local tyrants in the Yanzhou Bay area in the northern part of Kuaiji County fell ill.

Those who took the initiative to join the rebel army naturally had nothing to say, but those tyrants who had not joined the rebel army were also ransacked by the Wu army. They tried to resist, but were rushed into the manor by Wu army soldiers with red eyes and ransacked. can keep.

Several relatively affluent counties were also looted by the Wu army. Zhou Yu did not stop it, and he was powerless to stop it. This was what he promised.

However, there were still some people who lost their minds and tried to rob the gentry's house, but they almost succeeded. If Zhou Yu hadn't stopped it in time, the famous gentry in Kuaiji County would have been ransacked.

The gentry still had preferential treatment. The tyrants were robbed proactively and robbed by force, while the gentry were blackmailed.

The gentry need to hand over their weapons, pay heavy taxes, and even hand over their daughters to marry important core figures of the Sun Wu regime in exchange for peace. This is Zhou Yu's policy.

Don't you want to rely on Guo Peng?

I made all of you tainted, I made all of you relatives to us, I see how you still rely on Guo Peng!

For this reason, Zhou Yu himself took in two concubines, both of whom were women from the Wu family.

It feels good to let go of myself, but in the dead of night, when Zhou Yu looked through the war records recorded by his subordinates, he still felt deeply disturbed.

In this way, the Sun Wu regime is really a complete conqueror. Only by maintaining its strength and military deterrence can it survive. Once the military shakes, the Sun Wu regime will be completely uprooted.

This requires that the Sun Wu regime does not face a very powerful enemy.

For example, the Guo Wei regime in the north.

However, this is just Zhou Yu's thoughts. The army of the Guo Wei regime is eyeing Jiangbei, and may launch a raid on Jiangdong at any time. At that time, can Wu Jun really compete against them?

Wu Jun, who has just experienced the victory of the counter-insurgency war, really has enough courage to resist Wei Jun's attack?

Weiphobia, is it cured?

Zhou Yu was not sure, but the war had to continue.

For Zhou Yu, this is already a battle of life and death.

The suppression of the rebellion was of course a good thing for the state of Wu. Sun Quan rejoiced and went out of the city to welcome Zhou Yu who had returned from suppressing the rebellion. However, Zhou Yu did not have much joy on his face.

"Zhongmou, now is not the time to be happy. The rebellion has been put down, and there are still foreign enemies around. Zhang Liao and Chen Bing are on the riverside, watching fiercely. This battle may break out at any time."

When Zhou Yu said this, Sun Quan's expression changed.

"Brother Zhong, this..."

"Zhong Mou, don't worry too much. The Wei army is better at field battles than water battles. Our army only needs to guard the dangerous points of the river with boat divisions to prevent the Wei army from advancing to the east of the river."

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Quan's face changed drastically, so he had no choice but to calm down Sun Quan and tell Sun Quan not to be too afraid.

But things have come to this point, if Sun Quan can not be afraid, okay?

No.

And at this moment, news came from Liu Biao, saying that Liu Biao was a little hesitant about the support, because he was worried that the Wei army from Yingchuan Runan would take the opportunity to attack him, so he felt that it was better to wait and see what happened, if the Wei army really attacked Jiangdong, it won't be too late for him to send troops to help.

Zhou Yu was extremely angry about this.

"Short-sighted! Doesn't Liu Jingsheng feel the coldness of his lips and teeth?"

Although Zhou Yu scolded endlessly, Liu Biao still didn't seem to plan to do anything.

What a joke, there is also a Wei army in the Central Plains who is eyeing Nanyang County, and a Wei army in Shangyong who is eyeing Xiangyang. How would Zhou Yu know how dangerous his side is?

Your soldiers are not enough, but mine is enough?

Liu Biao didn't intend to help Zhou Yu right now, he wanted to continue to wait and see, continue to wait and see the situation, so that he would have enough leeway, so that there would be no leeway and only a dead end.

He was afraid of Guo Peng. He felt that as long as Guo Peng didn't come to beat him, he would be satisfied. If Guo Peng came, he might not be able to beat him, so he would continue to run south.

He is not sure whether Zhang Yun and Cai Mao can hold Nanyang and Xiangyang.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to find no helpers anywhere, so he could only continue to ask Liu Biao for help with a ten thousandth hope, explaining the truth of his lips and teeth, and at the same time, with the determination to face the mighty Wei army alone, he prepared to fight to the death.

Fortunately, Wei Jun is not good at water warfare.

Although I heard that Zhang Liao continued to train his soldiers' water combat capabilities after the previous battle, and he also continued to build warships, but how can he fight against his master when he becomes a monk halfway?

After Zhou Yu led the triumphant division back to Jingkou, he began to actively investigate the marching trend of the Wei army, actively investigate the current situation of the Wei army's combat readiness, and then he himself was also actively preparing for the battle, deploying troops and horses in various important naval camps along the river, increasing weapons, and strengthening guard .

Zhou Yu intends to rely on the Yangtze River defense line to fight a life-and-death battle with Wei Jun, so that Wei Jun can see Wu Jun's superiority in the navy.

I was careless before, I didn't know that Wei Jun had very powerful weapons, but this time it was different.

Zhou Yu had prepared in advance, he would never take the initiative to attack, he would only defend, but he wanted to see how Wei Jun would attack him, would he use a boat to attack in a way they were not good at?

In that case, Zhou Yu was confident.

There was no preparation before, but this time, small boats that could maneuver quickly occupied the main part of Wu Jun's navy. The fast maneuvering of these small boats was enough to make Wei Jun's trebuchets useless.

That thing needs to be aimed and launched, and the interval between two launches is very long. This is the weakness of the trebuchet that Zhou Yu observed.

That's right, Zhou Yu's observation ability is very keen. In response to the possible attack from the trebuchet, Zhou Yu used small warships that can maneuver at high speed to deal with it.

A large number of experienced generals who had fought against the Wei army before were transferred to the front.

Sun Quan is his own coach, and Zhou Yu is his assistant and actual coach.

Clan generals Sun Jing and Wu Jing are his right-hand men.

The veterans of the Three Dynasties Huang Gai and Han Dang led the charge.

General Dong Xi and General Ling Cao fought on the front line.

Lv Meng, a young general who has sprung up recently, was also transferred to the front line.

It can be said that this is the only remaining essence of Sun Wu's army after the previous catastrophe, and it was all concentrated by Zhou Yu's side.

The [-] crusade army and the [-] troops who stayed with Sun Quan were also gathered by Zhou Yu, and [-] troops were assembled.

This is all the main force that Wu Jun can produce right now, and it is all the vitality that Zhou Yu has saved for Wu State with all his painstaking efforts.

If this battle is won, the Wu Kingdom will be reborn from Nirvana, and if it is lost, it will be over.

Chapter 716. 720 Wu Wu will face a stormy blow from the Guo Wei regime

At present, the internal struggle of the Guo Wei regime has ended.

Guo Peng achieved a complete victory, rectified the interior, and became the king of Wei, unifying all the will of the Guo Wei regime.

He is the Guo Wei regime.

His will is the will of the Guo Wei regime.

Guo Peng, whose prestige was unprecedentedly high, made there no voices of opposition within the Guo Wei regime, and he dared not have any voices of opposition.

So he will inevitably continue to expand.

It is impossible for him to accept the situation of dividing the north and the south, and it is impossible for him to leave troubles to future generations, and he only cares about enjoying himself.

That's not how he's always been.

Tough style.

The three major princes in the south of the Yangtze River must be his goal.

And Zhou Yu felt very nervous, even a little bit of fear.

He felt that Guo Peng's purpose of being the king of Wei was not just to be the king of Wei.

He has secured the position of King Wei, and there are no opponents.

The White Horse Alliance was ruined by him, and the upper limit of people and ministers had been broken by him.

Now that the upper limit has been broken, then he is not afraid of anything.

The next step, he probably proclaimed himself emperor.

He wants to replace the Han Dynasty and replace the Han Dynasty with supreme prestige. Wu Guo is likely to become a stepping stone for Guo Peng to go further.

Guo Peng is very likely to launch a war that will not stop until he wins, until the state of Wu is completely defeated.

The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this might be very reasonable, and even this was Guo Peng's goal.

Zhang Liao performed martial arts on a large scale in order to express his position and show his determination to support Guo Peng.

So this time, it's for real.

It is an irrefutable fact that once Guo Peng made up his mind which enemies to eliminate, he would definitely eliminate those enemies.

Since he started his army, there has been no enemy he can't defeat, as powerful as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and he has not survived to this day. He has long been turned into dust and disappeared in the dust of history.

Therefore, the Sun Wu regime must not be the enemy that can survive.

Zhou Yu deeply understands this truth, and also knows the danger of this battle.

Therefore, Zhou Yu must unite the hearts of all the participating generals and the army before the battle. Once the battle begins, only one voice is needed in the army, and there should be no other noises.

For this reason, Zhou Yu held the last military meeting, and all the senior generals in the Wu army attended.

"Guo Peng is not a friendly person in this battle. Once he initiates a war, he will fight until he is satisfied. What we can't do, he can easily do. The amount of grain and fodder accumulated in the three counties of Lujiang, Jiujiang and Guangling is based on our It is estimated that it is enough to support the Jiangbei Wei army for five years, and the food he has accumulated for so long must be to completely take Jiangdong."

At the core military meeting, Zhou Yu told the senior generals the most terrifying outcome he expected, which made everyone's expressions change.

"If so, this battle is really difficult to fight."

Wu Jing grimaced: "Originally our military strength was insufficient. If Guo Peng made up his mind to attack Jiangdong, his military strength would far exceed ours. Whether it was food or supplies, we could stop it for a while, but not for a lifetime. Gong Jin, we are at a disadvantage. too big."

"Yeah, this battle is very difficult."

Sun Jing also nodded: "During this period, Zhang Liao also built a lot of ships in Huainan, and it is said that he also trained some soldiers who are good at water warfare. Once our advantages in water warfare are eliminated, it will be even more difficult to go ashore for field battles." Yes, Guo Zifeng's army is unparalleled in field battles."

Before the battle was fought, the two senior clan generals showed timidity.
