Chapter 429 The Sun Liu War broke out
Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei's army launched a fierce attack on Yufu County, and the progress was very smooth. In just half an hour, guards Zhang Ren and Yan Yan abandoned the city and fled to Jingzhou by water.
Liu Bei did not order anyone to pursue him. Instead, he ordered a large army to gather and set off to Jiangling in the name of revenge for Guan Yu.
That night, another piece of news came, which drove Liu Bei completely crazy. It turned out that Sun Quan's army did not restrain itself after capturing Wuling and Jiangling, but continued to attack non-stop. His general Cheng Pu led eight thousand soldiers to attack with Thunderbolt. Guiyang and Lingling were captured before they could cover their ears. Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, and Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, thought they were invincible, and surrendered one after another.
Almost at the same time, Sun Quan sent generals Chen Wu, Dong Xi, and Xu Sheng to attack Jiaozhou and occupied the four counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, and Hepu respectively. Lai Gong, the governor of Jiaozhou appointed by Liu Bei, died in battle, and Cangwu The prefect Wu Ju escaped, and the prefect Xue Zong of Yulin surrendered. After that, Xue Zong went to Jiaozhi in person to persuade the prefect Shi Xie to surrender. None of the counties surrendered, but these three counties are basically semi-independent counties, and they are separated by Jiaozhi and other counties. Zhuya County is even more isolated overseas. Even if these three counties are still loyal to Liu Bei, they cannot Liu Bei brought a little benefit.
Sun Quan snatched most of Liu Bei's hard-earned land. His anger towards Sun Quan had already reached its peak, and he unexpectedly learned that although his second brother Guan Yu was captured alive by Liu He, he was treated well. Liu He also hinted to Sun Quan that Guan Yu should be sent back after the traffic was cleared, so Liu Bei immediately ordered all the armies to speed up the assembly, and the assembly must be completed within ten days, and the lost land should be regained at all costs.
At this time, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei: "Our biggest enemy is actually Liu He. I hope my lord can keep calm, rebuild an alliance with Sun Quan, and fight against Liu He together. In this way, although we will lose the large tracts of land in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, we will still be able to fight against Liu Bei." We can concentrate our forces to seize Hanzhong, and then conspire to seize Guanzhong, so as to realize the wish of revitalizing the Han Dynasty."
However, at this time, Liu Bei could no longer listen to Zhuge Liang's advice. He insisted on leading an army to attack Sun Quan, and mobilized 12 troops, claiming 30, except for leaving 2 people on the southwestern border and Baishui Pass in the north to guard. , Almost all the troops were mobilized.
"My lord, I'm going to put all my eggs in one basket. If it fails, I'm afraid Bashu will change hands..." Seeing Liu Bei's determination, Zhuge Liang couldn't help sighing, but now he has no choice but to decide to use up his life. It is also necessary to help Liu Bei be undefeated, or to minimize losses, even if the grand strategy of uniting Sun Quan and Cao Cao to resist Liu He cannot be realized, this time I can't care about it.
However, what is surprising is that there is no Zhuge Liang, not even Fazheng in the list for this expedition, and only Zhang Song is the most resourceful.
In Liu Bei's words, leaving Zhuge Liang is to let him help raise food and supplies, and the supply of the front line must not be cut off, and the purpose of leaving Fazheng is to let Fazheng be responsible for guarding Baishui Pass and strictly guard against Huang Zhong in Hanzhong.
However, Zhuge Liang knew Liu Bei's true thoughts, that is, he could still fight without him, and he would win a big battle.
Zhuge Liang immediately sent someone to write a letter to Fazheng, asking Fazheng to persuade Liu Bei. In Zhuge Liang's view, he did not have Fazheng to be trusted. He was trying to persuade Liu Bei to change his mind.
However, after all, Fazheng is still in Chengdu, not too close. It took nearly ten days to come and go. At this time, the food and grass have been prepared, and the army has been assembled. So although he felt that what Fazheng said was reasonable, Liu Bei still did not change his mind and ordered the army to set off for Jiangling early the next morning.
In this battle, he wanted to capture Jiangling first, and then cross the river to occupy Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang, and Nanhai, so as to surround other counties in Jiaozhou and realize his strategy of "close the door and beat the dog".
At the same time, Sun Quan was incredulous when he heard that Liu Bei had mobilized so many troops to fight for Jingnan and Jiaozhou. He murmured, "Could it be that Liu Daer is crazy? Doesn't he know how to do this?" The result can only be to make him perish faster? Although he looks like a large number of people and aggressive, but there is only one state left to support him in fighting, and even one state is incomplete, because Hanzhong It's still in Liu He's hands, don't say he can't win this battle, even if he can win, it will definitely hurt his vitality, and Liu He will gradually eat him away."
Sun Quan then summoned all the civil and military personnel under his command to discuss strategies to deal with Liu Bei.
I saw Zhou Yu said: "Although Liu Bei looks aggressive and unstoppable, he does not have top strategists in his army, and the strongest general is only Zhang Fei. There is nothing to be afraid of. We can use arrogant tactics to defeat him. "
Then Zhou Yu came in front of Sun Quan, and after Sun Quan retreated to the left and right, he introduced him in this way, until Sun Quan smiled and praised Zhou Yu's ingenious plan.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, in the fourth month of summer, Liu Bei led an army of 12. He returned from Yu and went down the river to Jiangling. The warships in between were all loaded and almost filled the river. Sun Quan's Jiangdong army was invincible, so he ordered people to come down. The book seeks peace, and proposes to return the three counties of Jiangling, Jiaozhi and Cangwu, and is willing to marry his sister Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei can make peace with him.
However, Liu Bei categorically rejected this, and pointed out that unless all the four counties in Jingnan and the entire Jiaozhou were returned, there would be no possibility of peace between the two sides. Then Liu Bei ordered to step up the attack on Jiangling.
A few days later, Sun Quan's Nanjun Taishou Zhou Yu took the initiative to lead his army to retreat, and came to the opposite Gong'an Harbor, and confronted Liu Bei's army across the river. However, with the passage of time, the disadvantages of Liu Bei's inability to fight in water battles were gradually exposed, so generally speaking, there were more defeats than victories, and the number of losses increasingly exceeded that of Jiangdong's army.
"Don't be afraid, our army is far more numerous than the enemy's army. Even if it is a competition of casualties, Zhou Yu's son must be unable to support it first. Yide, Liu Qi in Jingling still has [-] sailors. Go there yourself. Let's go and ask him to lead the navy to support, I don't believe that with the [-] navy, we can't break through the Public Security Port!" Liu Bei said with a sneer while clenched his fists, his eyes full of confidence.
