Rebirth God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1512: A Big Fire
The heavy cavalry shined brightly on the battlefield in Jingzhou. Whether it was Zhuge Liang or Sun Ce, after learning about the strength of the heavy cavalry, they were very excited. If you have such a cavalry, if you want to win on the battlefield, it is a matter of one thing. very simple thing.
Under the charge of the heavy cavalry, it can be said that they are invincible. Of course, if there are bed crossbows and thunderbolt chariots, they will definitely be able to cause huge damage to these cavalry. However, they are cavalry after all. The evasion of the soldiers was faster than that of ordinary infantry, but after the heavy cavalry approached, their nightmare began.
The cost of forming a heavy cavalry is undoubtedly huge. The horses must be excellent, otherwise it will be difficult to have faster speeds after being equipped with armor. The price remained high, and the excellent war horses were in the hands of Lu Bu.
Although the feudal lords encouraged raising horses, these horses could only be used for transporting grain, grass and luggage, not enough to be horses for cavalry.
Cao Cao was discussing with his counselors about attacking Jiangling in his tent, but he saw raging flames burning in Jiangling city. Many generals of the Jingzhou army who surrendered saw this scene, and their faces were very ugly. The importance of Jiangling to Jingzhou is beyond doubt. In the city, a large amount of rice grains were hoarded in Jingzhou, but when Zhuge Liang was retreating, he burned all of them with a fire. Even though they are now hostile, these rice grains belong to Jingzhou.
"My lord, the city is on fire." A general broke into the camp panting.
Cao Cao didn't care to reprimand the general, and hurried out of the big tent. After seeing the fire in the city, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "I don't think that villager Zhuge would dare to do such a heartless thing. If you encounter them on the battlefield, you will definitely kill them."
After seeing this scene, the accompanying counselors felt a little heavy. Jiangling had enough food and grass. If they could get it, it would greatly relieve the pressure on the food and grass. If the four counties in Jingnan seize it, they will face even greater difficulties. The first thing to bear the brunt is the food and grass in the army. A 100,000 army consumes countless food and grass every day. small gap.
The fire of the Jingzhou army burned not only rice, but also the heritage of Jingzhou, as well as Liu Bei's reputation.
After Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, in the eyes of the people, he was magnanimous and treated the people with kindness. However, this kind of behavior is not worthy of the name of magnanimity.
"My lord, Zhuge Liang must have wanted to withdraw his troops from the city when he burned the grain and grass," Xun You said.
"Order Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to pursue the enemy, and Cao Ren to lead the heavy cavalry to accompany them." Cao Cao ordered.
Burning rice grains was not Zhuge Liang's order. Under such circumstances, burning rice grains would have a great negative impact. Although burning grain and grass could weaken Cao Jun's strength, after all, Liu Bei was the master of Jingzhou's power before. , Burning the rice grain means cutting off the road that Liu Bei may seize Jingzhou again in the future to a certain extent.
Although these rice grains are important to Jingzhou, they have not reached a particularly important level. With Jingzhou's background, it only takes a short time to regain its strength. Of course, the premise of all this is that Jingzhou can stabilize.
But such choices are also reasonable, after all, the two sides are in hostile camps, since I can't get things, I won't easily take advantage of the enemy.
This order issued by Guan Yu caused Zhuge Liang to bear the infamy. Regarding this, Zhuge Liang did not explain too much. What he thought was how to get the army to retreat from Nanjun. He had also heard about the matter of the Great Han Emperor, and he could predict what kind of impact it would have on Yizhou once it became a reality. The words of the two emperors appeared,
What will the princes think, what will the people think.
However, when Liu Cong came into the hands of Cao Cao, this matter was beyond Zhuge Liang's control. After having the emperor in his hands, it would have a great impact on the rule. Among the officials in Jingzhou, Liu Cong was more supportive than Liu Qi.
The reason why Liu Bei supported Liu Qi at the beginning was because Liu Qi's eldest son's status, and the second reason was that the power behind Liu Cong was too strong. If Liu Cong became the emperor, it would pose a lot of threats to Liu Bei. Liu Bei, who initially took charge of Jingzhou , Naturally, he does not want a situation that threatens his rule of Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang withdrew his troops from Nanjun, and Cao Jun occupied Nanjun very quickly.
After the tiger and leopard cavalry caught up with the Jingzhou army, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses had already boarded the warship and traveled from Jiangling to Yizhou. If they took the warship, the speed would be faster and safer.
Even though Cao Jun's cavalry is extremely elite, in the face of such a situation, they can only lead the troops back.
Cao Cao captured Nanyang County and Nanjun County, but the Jiangdong Army occupied the largest area. At this time, Sun Ce had Jiangxia County, Changsha County, Guiyang County, and Lingling County in his hands. If Wuling County was captured, it would be this battle. the most profitable of them all.
The four Jingnan counties are much weaker than Nanjun and Nanyang counties in terms of background, but they still cannot be underestimated. After Sun Ce takes over, it may threaten the safety of Nanjun.
"My lord, Deng Xi, the prefect of Wuling County, is willing to join us. If my lord leads the troops, he will definitely be able to capture Wuling County," Xun You said.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "My son Sun Ce, when our army was fighting with the Jingzhou army, we sent troops to seize Jingnan County. If we don't drive these villains out of Jingzhou, how can we relieve our hatred?"
"My lord, our army has been fighting for a long time, and the Jiangdong army is extremely elite. It is not easy to seize Jingnan County." Xun You said.
How can Cao Cao not understand the meaning of Xun You's words? Cao Jun dispatched a hundred thousand troops to fight, and it is difficult to sustain the consumption of food and grass for too long. After capturing Wuling County, I am afraid he can only choose to retreat. This battle The longer it lasts, the worse it is.
"Take Wuling County as soon as possible," Cao Cao said.
Cao Cao knew that after this order was issued, Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army were about to start fighting, and it would be a protracted war. However, Cao Cao's plan was to temporarily stop the war after defeating Jiangdong Army and taking Wuling County. It is also a bit overwhelming. The army's battle consumes a lot of food and grass.
