Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 498 Cao Sun Qi is afraid (4)

Jiang Jizhi is a high-ranking official, while Lu Kang and Liu Ye are committed to a longevity.

Lu Kang would not leave the outstanding Lujiang County for the purpose of serving as the governor. He directly handed Cao Cao's appointment letter to Wei Dongsheng: "Shall we refuse in a tough manner, or do we tactfully refuse?"

Wei Dongsheng asked Lu Kang, "What do you think is better?"

Lu Kang replied: "Cao cao sits on You, Bin, Hebei, Qing, Yan, Yu and other prefectures. There are many and strong soldiers. It is very difficult for Lujiang County to contain its military front. Since we are weak, then Don't show your strength rashly."

Wei Dongsheng disagreed with Lu Kang's opinion: "Cao Cao aims to sweep the world. If we bow to the court, will we be different because of the euphemism? Whether it is tough or euphemistic, Cao cao will not allow us to continue. Separated from Lujiang County. However, in order to gain moral advantage and win the hearts of the people of Lujiang County, we might as well show weakness."

Wei Dongsheng immediately summoned the top leaders of Jueshengmen to unify their thoughts and study how to deal with Cao who came with the crowd.

The meeting was not over yet, Dianbingtang suddenly reported that Zhou Yu and Lu Su had come together.

It is true that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Since Zhou Yu's semi-warlord segregation of Lujiang County in the south, he basically no longer meets with Wei Dongsheng alone, and all cooperation and exchanges are transferred by Lu Su. Zhou Yu suddenly visited in person at this moment, apparently realizing that the Huainan structure would undergo a major change. Without Wei Dong’s business information, Zhou Yu talked about the changes in Huainan’s structure: "Lu Jining and Liu Ziyang are not willing to leave Lujiang County, right?"

Wei Dongsheng smiled and said, "Of course."

Zhou Yu: "With Cao Cao's disposition, he probably won't tolerate Lu Jining's continued rule of Lujiang County."

Wei Dongsheng relayed the results of the discussions at the Jue Sacred Gate high-level meeting: "Lu Kang prepared to soften his official position against Cao Cao and refused to go to Jingzhou."

Zhou Yu smiled helplessly: "Sure enough. Since Brother Dongsheng suggested Lu Jining to be an official, I am afraid I have to resign."

Wei Dongsheng didn't foolishly ask Zhou Yu why this is so.

Wei Dongsheng understood Zhou Yu's choice.

As far as Kyushu is concerned, Lujiang County is too small and weak after all. Wei Dongsheng and Zhou Yu were able to segregate Lujiang County in the past because Sun Quan was afraid to attract Cao Cao’s hatred, because Cao Cao gave priority to annexing Yuan Shao’s legacy party in the north, and because there was a buffer between Sun Quan and Cao Cao, Liu Fu, the governor of Yangzhou. Area. Today, Sun Quan commanded tens of thousands of troops to besiege Hefei, and then Cao Cao commanded tens of thousands of troops to station in Hefei. Huainan has officially become the forefront of the fierce struggle between Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

A battle this year and a battle next year, even if it is a war that has affected the pond fish, it can easily drain the savings of Lujiang County.

Unfortunately, neither Wei Dongsheng nor Zhou Yu can stop this.

If you have something, you have to give up. If you want to enjoy the benefits of the seeds of longevity, you have to endure the suffering of living in Lujiang County for the time being.

Zhou Yu was disappointed and left.

A few days later, Zhou Yu, the prefect of Lujiang in the south, and Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang in the north, almost simultaneously chose to pay their respects. Lu Kang resigned from his old age and refused to move to another county. Cao Cao asked Gaoming to fill the vacancy of the governor of Jingzhou and Lujiang prefect. Zhou Yu excused his serious illness and dedicated the southern Lujiang County to Sun Quan. The political structure of Huainan was turned upside down. Variety.

Of course, neither Wei Dongsheng nor Zhou Yu voluntarily gave up. Zhou Yu left Lu Su, the idle son in Lujiang County in the south, and transferred the local power of Wanxian and Juchao County to Lu Su. If Sun Quan is open-minded and Lu Su inherits Zhou Yu's career, he will continue to be stationed in Anhui with a low degree of freedom; if Sun Quan is not minded enough, Lu Su will also leave and follow Zhou Yu to choose a new owner. Wei Dongsheng's disobedience was even more explicit. On the day when Lu Kang announced his official appointment, he ordered several generals directly under the Supreme Sect to raise the flag of opposition.

As mentioned earlier, Jueshengmen is the superior department of the northern Lujiang county prefecture.

Drawing lessons from the history of the Three Kingdoms conquest in the real world, Wei Dongsheng had a clear understanding of the embarrassing position of Lujiang County very early, and made adequate preparations in advance to deal with political and military threats from Sun Quan and Cao Cao. When Liu Fu was in charge of Huainan, Wei Dongsheng cut Lujiang County along the foothills of the Dabie Mountains into two parts. The plain area allowed Lu Kang’s Lujiang County prefecture and Zhou Yu’s Lujiang County prefecture to stand side by side, and the mountainous areas were directly managed by the entrances of the Jueshengmen. . In the specific cao work, the soldiers and generals under the direct control of the Supreme Gate were collectively referred to as bandits and bandits, and then Lu Kang recruited and accepted rebels under the names of Sikong Cao, Yangzhou Governor Liu Fu, and Lujiang County Prefecture.

From the beginning to the end, the county government of Lujiang County did not directly manage the Dabie Mountains. At this moment, the "bandits and bandits" suddenly heard that Lu Kang was retiring to his official position, and it was reasonable to raise the anti-flag again. In order to make the bandit and bandit rebellion like that, Wei Dongsheng picked up a vain leader of the thief and took the idea of ​​"the rebellious Zhangjiao" and simply named it Fanjiao.

There is no thief commander named Fan Jiao in the Dabie Mountains.

However, because all the soldiers and generals directly under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Sacred Gate were tacitly holding the banner of Fanjiao, Fanjiao's fame among Jianghuai instantly surpassed Zhang Yan, the leader of the black mountain thief who entrenched the Taihang Mountains in the past year.

Jueshengmen's control over the Dabie Mountains is much stronger than Zhang Yan's control over the Taihang Mountains. With an order from Wei Dongsheng, the Dabie Mountain range instantly became the real jurisdiction of the bandit leader Fan Jiao, and the bandit army appeared as if a zombie came out of the cage, and ransacked the treasury.

The northern Lujiang County was originally Wei Dongsheng’s territory. The Fanjiao thief soldiers were originally Wei Dongsheng’s soldiers. He robbed himself and was naturally more efficient. Furthermore, as early as when Sun Quan led the army to besiege Hefei, Wei Dongsheng began to consciously transport the savings of the counties of Lujiang County to the hinterland of Dabie Mountain for storage. At this time, Wei Dongsheng ordered the soldiers to hold the Fan Jiao banner in Wushao County, mainly to cover up the day's favoritism by legal means, and to throw the grain and weapons of Lujiang County to the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains to the empty thief Shuai Fan Jiao.

Killing, arson and so on, this is Wei Dongsheng's counterattack different from Zhou Yu.

How does Cao Cao move?

On the political side, Cao Cao responded to all changes with the unchanging, neither approving Lu Kang's appointment, nor urging Lu Kang to go to Jingzhou. In the military aspect where the advantage is the most obvious, Cao Cao chose to take the initiative to attack, ordering Xiahouyuan to fight against generals such as Jin, Zangba, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun, etc., against the non-existent thief Shuai Fanjiao.

Whether Cao Cao, Wen Hui, Liu Fu, or Sun Quan or Zhou Yu, none of them are stupid. Cao Cao only needs to visit the local bureaucrats in Huainan, and he can clearly understand that the Supreme Sacred Gate is hidden behind the thief Shuai Fan Jiao. Cao Cao did not associate Lu Kang with Jue Sage Gate and Thief Shuai Fan Jiao, mainly because of political strategy, not because he was really blind and deaf. In the actual implementation, Xia Houyuan did not hesitate to use Longshu County as the base of the thief Shuai Fanjiao, and slayed Xiang Longshu County in the name of crusade against the thief Shuai Fanjiao.

Wei Dongsheng decisively returned to Xia Houyuan with a move.

The mountain troops holding the banner of Fanjiao withdrew as quickly as possible, and immediately "captured" the county seat of Longshu County, using the fortresses around Longshu County to resist Xiahouyuan's attack. However, the Lujiang defense war trend is not optimistic. The Lujiang mountain troops, which suppressed a few bandits and bandits at most, are not opponents of veterans such as Yu Jian, Zang Ba, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Yun at all. For example, Xiaojiagang Mountain Fort, with the Banhe River in the south and the mountains behind it, is the gateway to the Banhe defense system, which is of extremely high strategic significance. As a result, before the Lujiang mountain troops had been able to support them, Zhang Liao led the crowd to storm Xiaojiagang Mountain Fort, ignoring the high casualty rate and conquering Xiaojiagang Mountain Fort in one fell swoop.

The elite of the hundred battles is indeed the elite of the hundred battles, and they quickly defeated the Lujiang mountain troops in a few encounters.

Fortunately, Wei Dongsheng is well prepared.

The mountain fort lost on the front line was left to be occupied or destroyed by Cao Bing. Wei Dongsheng concentrated on relying on the superiority of the terrain for defense, and methodically consumed the morale of Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun, Yu Jin, and Zangba. After the morale of Cao soldiers declined slightly, Wei Dongsheng suddenly sacrificed the night owl special operations troops and black powder weapons, and burned their logistics materials.

To this day, Wei Dongsheng still hasn't reproduced firearms such as blunderbuss. The reason is simple and selfish. Firearms tactics are more dependent on the country's comprehensive strength than cold weapons tactics. In the unlikely event that Sun Quan and Cao Cao were indirectly guided to install early firearms on a large scale, it would be disastrous for Wei Dongsheng. Wei Dongsheng reproduced high-tech subjectively based on the superiority of the Supreme Gate, and the military use of black powder was limited to only a few uses such as explosive packs and firelighters. These high-tech military technologies have limited frontal battlefield effects, but if they cooperate with the outstanding personal qualities of longevity people to launch night attacks, they can bring considerable benefits.

Just like Pan Zhang's defeat, no matter how rigorously he manages the army, it is difficult to resist the night attack by the immortal with explosives.

Soon, Xiahouyuan, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun, Yu Jin, Zang Ba and other veterans all went to Pan Zhang's footsteps, and the logistics materials were successively burned out by the night owl special operations unit. During this period, Wei Dongsheng also rushed to the front from time to time, using his dexterity compared with early Yue Buqun's light skills to patrol layer after layer to throw explosive bags, and then never come back to watch the explosion, and went away.

Boom boom boom boom, boom boom boom, burst explosion after burst; fire, fire, fire, light up night after night.

Since the princes challenged Dong, the Central Plains has been fighting for many years, and food has been in short supply. Last year's battle for Jingzhou, let alone who wins and loses, the consumption of food and weapons is definitely a bottomless pit, and Cao Cao does not have the confidence to squander logistics materials at this time. Wei Dongsheng is now playing in Lujiang County again. After Xia Houyuan and others burned the logistic materials prepared before the war, Cao Cao either collected money on the spot and searched the people of Jianghuai, or traveled thousands of miles from Yu, Yan, Qing, Xuzhou and other states, no matter what. This solution is not an easy task.

There is a shortage of arrows and weapons, how do soldiers fight?

The grain is burned to ashes, how can you attack the city?

After the night owl special operations forces continued to break the battle, the offensive and defensive momentum of Longshu County quickly changed. The fierce generals such as Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun, Yu Jin, and Zang Ba, who had exhausted logistical losses, had to withdraw back to Hefei in embarrassment even though they were very unwilling.

At the same time, Zhou Yu's arrangement also worked.
