Chapter 280 How did the two of you get here
Zhu Wei was very worried that if he really launched a war against Jingzhou brazenly.
Seeing Zhu Wei's powerful army, Liu Yao in Jiangdong might have a lot of fear of Zhu Wei, so when Zhu Wei attacked Jingzhou, what actions did Yuzhang behind Zhu Wei make? Zhu Weike was hit by the enemy.
So after Zhu Wei discussed with Wang Yuyan, this second strategy is still an option and will not be used lightly. Now that Zhu Wei's foundation is not stable, he can't make a move like a snake swallowing an elephant.
Unless Zhu Wei attacked Jiangxia this time, and Liu Biao sent reinforcements from Xiangyang and Jiangling, then Zhu Wei could eat these reinforcements to help Jiangxia, weaken Liu Biao's strength, and take advantage of Liu Biao's opportunity to occupy some military fortresses on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Land, that is more in line with Zhu Wei's interests.
This hurt Liu Biao and made Liu Biao afraid to continue sending troops to Jiangxia. It also had some advantages for Zhu Wei to take down the four Jingnan counties in the next step.
Moreover, this kind of action was also sent to the door by Liu Biao himself. It is unlikely that Zhu Wei took the initiative to use troops against Liu Biao. You can explain it later, so the most beneficial thing for Zhu Wei is that Liu Biao sent people to help Jiangxia. .
But the question is whether Liu Biao will send reinforcements over. Mr. Zhu Wei can't wait too long in Xiling County, so the loss in the state of war will greatly increase.
Or it is to quickly capture Xiling County, before Liu Biao's reinforcements know about it, and then transfer the army to fight these reinforcements, so this is something that needs to be discussed now.
On this military discussion, Zhu Wei has always encouraged the army to brainstorm ideas. After all, no matter how smart Wang Yuyan is, she may miss something. The three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. It is always better for everyone to discuss together.
It's a pity that Pang Yan always just listens to the military discussions, and he can't think of any suggestions. Anyway, he is used to listening to Wang Yuyan and Zhu Wei's military orders, so he will implement them.
Tai Shici did have ideas, but he was always thinking about his identity, so he was not easy to open his mouth. This time he followed Zhu Wei to send troops to Jiangxia. As Tai Shici's identity, he should have secretly informed Liu Yao, but Tai Shici felt it was inappropriate. , it was just so vague.
Of course, Zhu Wei also had a legitimate excuse to "revenge the humiliation suffered by his father's coffin", so Tai Shici felt that Zhu Wei's actions were reasonable, so there was no need to worry about it.
But at this moment, he didn't have much to say, he couldn't support Zhu Wei to continue to attack Jiangling, let's attack Xiangyang, it seemed unreasonable.
The newly joined Gan Ning is even more ignorant of the situation, so naturally he has no thought of speaking, and he was already very surprised when he saw Zhu Wei's sand table of several important areas in Jiangxia, as well as those detailed maps of Jiangxia.
Zhu Wei actually had such detailed preparations in advance, no wonder Zhu Wei has never been defeated in a battle so far.
In addition, even though Mu Lan bears the name of Zhu Wei's army commander, she has been constrained to serve as the commander of Zhu Wei's personal soldiers. She knows that she has no chance to participate in such a battle, so she is not happy to take care of it. Now she still has a little temper in her heart, unwilling to accept Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan's arrangements for her.
As for the other Ling Cao, Ma Zhong, Su Fei, Zhang Hao, and Chen Jiu, they were all generals who had no idea. Naturally, they just watched Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan sing a big show.
After what Wang Yuyan said came to an end, Zhu Wei scanned the generals in the tent with his eyes, and sighed in his heart. The main reason is that he has no other military advisers under him. If there are one or two more intelligent military advisers to assist him, he should be able to Here comes some other ideas.
Although Wang Yuyan's arrangement is relatively complete now, but such a talk, isn't it like Zhuge Liang, all things need to be undertaken by Wang Yuyan alone, Zhu Wei doesn't want to exhaust Wang Yuyan.
So after thinking about it, Zhu Wei could only say, "Everyone, the military division has now decided on two strategies. If we follow the first strategy, we can directly attack Xiling City and take Huang Zu down first, which can also reduce the number of troops." The consumption of capital also has no worries. If you follow the second strategy, you will have to wait for a few days! Oh, yes, Xingba, Su Fei, how did the two of you receive Huang Zu's order to let the two of you Someone came to Xiling County to support?"
Zhu Wei thought that Su Fei and Gan Ning came to Xiling County this time to help, and they seemed to have received Huang Zu's military order, but Zhu Wei really didn't understand why they came to support so quickly.
Because Zhu Wei is actually not sure whether there is such a method as flying pigeons to send letters in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which can send letters quickly and remotely. According to Zhu Wei's knowledge, flying pigeons to send letters became popular in the south in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
But according to some legends, during the period of Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Liu Bang was surrounded by Xiang Yu, and he used flying pigeons to send letters for help. In addition, Zhang Qian and Ban Chao in the Western Han Dynasty also used pigeons to send messages to the imperial court. During the period, there was also an allusion that Su Wu used swan geese to pass on books.
But Zhu Wei also felt that these legends were a little unreliable, and they were probably fabricated by later generations. At least he mentioned the matter of training flying pigeons to send messages when he was in Yuzhang, but Zhu Wei failed to find someone who could train carrier pigeons talent.
At the same time, according to Zhu Wei's understanding, the flying pigeon can only take the pigeon out of the designated home, and then rely on the pigeon's talent to find the home, so that the pigeon can send the letter to the designated place.
But the pigeon can’t come back after sending it out, unless it’s another pigeon to return to the sender’s designated place, but in this case, both parties have to raise a lot of pigeons from each other’s location, which doesn’t seem very convenient.
Therefore, flying pigeons to send letters can only be used by people far away from home, using pigeons to report safety to their families and tell them where they have been, but it cannot become a common means of communication between the two places.
The effect of flying pigeons in many novels is really exaggerated.
But now Zhu Wei didn't know how Huang Zu informed Su Fei and Gan Ning. If he knew this method, Zhu Wei might be able to infer how Huang Zu asked Jiangling and Xiangyang for help.
Theoretically speaking, if there is no means of quick message transmission, it is impossible for Su Fei and Gan Ning to rush to support Zhu Wei's surprise attack on Jiangxia this time, because Huang Zu can't react well, even if he sends someone to send a message Xin, not as fast as Zhu Wei.
"My lord, the two of us have seen the smoke from the beacon! Between Xiling County, Jiangling, and Xiangyang, there are beacon fire alarm towers located on some riverside cliffs. The two of us rushed back to Xiling County after seeing the black smoke from the beacon fire. Come!"
Perhaps seeing Zhu Wei's confusion, Su Fei got up and answered Zhu Wei, but it turned out that he did not use flying pigeons to send the letter, but used a simple method to warn the fire.
It's no wonder that this time when Zhu Wei raided Jiangxia, Huang Zu's defenders in Qichun Water Village and Guishexia Water Village in E County were unprepared, because Huang Zu really didn't know the situation.
Zhu Wei's surprise attack was too fast, even if Huang Zu had scouts in Chaisang, there was no way to report back the news in time...
