Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2278: Inside and outside the city, Jiangnan and Jiangbei (additional update)

Heroes are often a rare species, and are easily consumed, and are naturally targets of fire. Therefore, even in the game, if there is no resurrection altar, it is still very troublesome.

But there is no altar of resurrection in real life, and the big man doesn't have one either.

Therefore, it is not easy to be a hero. It will attract the hostile eyes of enemies and the knife from behind. Of course, there will also be followers who come here for fame...

Tian Yu thinks that he is not a hero, but he is willing to follow heroes.

At first, Tian Yu thought Gongsun Zan was a hero, because Gongsun Zan rode a white horse across Youbei, attacking Wuhuan in the east, and rejecting Xianbei in the north. He even made a deafening voice and declared that he would surround Youzhou and drive out the Hulu. Everything was so consistent with a hero. standards.

But later Tian Yu suddenly discovered that Gongsun Zan had changed...

Becoming less heroic.

Especially when Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu were fighting, they were not so dedicated to the country and the people. When Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, the remaining glory disappeared, and what was left was a world full of glory. He is just a warrior who is greedy and does not give good advice.

After that, Tian Yu once set his sights on Gongsun Zan's opponent, Yuan Shao.

The fourth generation and the third prince, courtesy and corporal, at first Yuan Shao had the appearance of a hero and the foundation of a hero. However, after the Han Fu incident, Tian Yu discovered that Yuan Shao was only a hero of the nobles, not a hero of the common people.

Yuan Shao didn't care about the people, not even the emperor. Can such a person be regarded as a hero of the Han Dynasty?

Later, Tian Yu discovered Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is a hero.

Tian Yu still has no doubt about this.

Some people say Liu Bei is hypocritical, some people say Liu Bei is hypocritical, some people ridicule Liu Bei for not knowing how high the sky is, some people laugh at Liu Bei for being wishful thinking...

People who gave up their childhood dreams because of others' ridicule when they were young will not understand that a peasant boy who weaves mats and sells shoes dares to say "I must ride in this feather-covered carriage."

People who allowed themselves to be bullied by others without daring to resist when they were young, who gradually smoothed away their edges and let their blood cool down, will not understand that there are people in the world who would whip their bosses in anger and then leave with their seals.

In middle age, the young heart in the gradually rounded belly has long since died, and the only thing left to speak is humaneness and sophistication. Occasionally, I learned from a story at the wine table that someone once shed tears because of the resurrection of the fat, and I couldn't help but sneer at him for being a fool. It’s great to eat and drink for people who are over fifty years old. As for the words "Don't do good deeds even if they are small, don't do evil deeds even if they are small", you will still laugh out loud, and then say sarcastically, the person who said this must be very hypocritical, right?

Liu Bei is a hero to the common people.

If his mother hadn't been seriously ill at that time, perhaps Tian Yu would still be following Liu Bei now.

As for Cao Cao?

Cao Cao is not a hero, never has been.

In other words, Cao Cao is a hero without a "heart". If there is no cavalry general Fei Qian in this world, perhaps Tian Yu will choose Cao Cao in the end. Because Cao Cao, a hero without a "heart", is the greatest hope for the Han Dynasty to pacify, at least the hope for stability in the north and south of the river, and the hope for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Unfortunately, there is one more Fei Qian now.

From General Protecting Hungary to General Zhengxi, and then from General Zhengxi to General Hussar, Tian Yu heard a lot of rumors, but Tian Yu felt that he should come and take a look in person to see what Tian Yu considered a hero. What kind of person is the hussar under whom all the people are impressed?

Because whether it is official or commercial, although the Han Dynasty is currently divided into the East and West Shangshu, they have not isolated communication, nor are they at war with each other. It is just that it will be more troublesome when passing checkpoints on the East and West sides. The items to be inspected Just a little more. Tian Yu said that he was a son of a noble family who was studying abroad, and he used a fake name. Since he didn't bring any contraband, it wasn't really that troublesome.

Tian Yu was born in Youzhou, and he has been harassed by barbarians since he was a child. Whether it was Wuhuan or Xianbei, he would always come here every few years.

However, the Han Dynasty, including the early local officials in Youzhou, turned a blind eye.

Anyway, the barbarians are here, and they can't stay long. Once the winter snow comes, these barbarians will retreat on their own, so why go to all the trouble of fighting for life or death?

Anyway, when the Hu people came to Youzhou, they didn't plunder the women and children from the officials' homes, and they didn't steal the property from the officials' homes, so why bother with so much?

Even some daring people can take advantage of the arrival of the barbarians and seize the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune...

As for how to "get promoted and make a fortune", need we say more?

Tian Yu's requirements are not high. He just hopes that the hero is a human being, a real man, not a beast wearing a human skin, having a human mouth, but only a pig's head and a wolfdog's belly.

Well, maybe Tian Yu thinks this standard is not high, but in fact it is relatively high at the level of officials?

Tian Yu didn't know very well, so he wanted to take a closer look, especially the Cavalry General Fei Qian. Unfortunately, when he arrived in Chang'an, Fei Qian happened to go to Yinshan, so Tian Yu could only stay there temporarily. Come down. I didn't dare to live in the main city of Chang'an, so I found a mausoleum on the outskirts and rented half of the courtyard.

The half yard is because one yard can be rented by two people. The individual rental fee is lower, but the overall rent is higher. Both the tenant and the owner are laughing.

Then, before Tian Yu could wait for the cavalry general Fei Qian, he waited for the big-picture troll Mi Heng.

When Mi Heng arrived in Chang'an, the scene was very grand.

Of course, this pomp is only for the level of nobles, neither high nor low. High-level people, everyone has their own things to do, and they don’t necessarily have to meet a big troll. Even if the troll is somewhat famous, low-level people are busy making a living every day, and they also don’t have much time to care. What a troll.

Tian Yu didn't want to go at first, but he was out of curiosity, so forget it if he didn't know. After finding out, he felt a little concerned, and since he didn't have any official duties, he followed some people to the east gate of Chang'an.

Most of the high-end private residences in Chang'an City are concentrated near Xuanping Gate, while to the south are the two palaces that are being repaired slowly. There are not many craftsmen working, they are always being built, and they are never completed.

Tian Yu understands that it is an attitude to build this building, and it is also an attitude to not complete the construction. Just like those who greeted Mi Heng, they also seemed to have an attitude.

When Tian Yu arrived at Xuanpingmen, there were not many good seats left, so he could only stand on the far side. After waiting for a while, I heard some restlessness in the crowd in the distance, and someone shouted that it was coming, coming. Looking further into the distance, I saw faint smoke and dust rising. Not long after, I saw a line of carriages and horses coming slowly. .

Needless to say, among the carriages and horses, the one sitting on the canopy carriage is Ni Heng.

While Tian Yu was sizing up Mi Heng, Mi Heng was sizing up Chang'an City.

When you were in the plains, Mi Heng was someone else's child, representing glory and pride. Then Mi Heng walked into the metropolis with full confidence and longing, and was splashed with a wave of ice water. After serving as a backdrop for a while, Mi Heng was unwilling to give up and wanted to rise. However, his drive to move up was noticed by an investor, so they started working together. Mi Heng was like a shining star. , stepped onto the stage.

Ni Heng naturally became famous in one fell swoop, just like when no one asks about something and then the whole world knows about it. However, Mi Heng discovered that becoming famous was not as satisfying as he originally imagined. The capital side had its own considerations. To put it simply, it was for profit. As for what Mi Heng had in mind, it didn't matter at all.

The capital side liquidates the money invested in the early stage again, leaves the market, and makes a lot of money. Then Mi Heng is like a piece of chewed bagasse, discarded at will.

As soon as it was thrown away, it was thrown here by the hussar general Fei Qian.

Among the crowd, greetings and greetings were heard one after another. "Brother Ni" and "Wen Zheng" flew together, and "Xiong Tai" and "Brother Xian" danced.

Ni Heng is entering Chang'an City, but his mind is outside the city.

Although these people outside the city are standing outside the city, their thoughts are inside the city.

The convoy of men and horses did not stop because of these ordinary nobles, but went straight into the city slowly. Anyway, for the soldiers who guarded Mi Heng along the way, their errands were handed over when they arrived in the city, so they would definitely not stop for these ordinary nobles.

The moment he entered the city gate, Mi Heng suddenly felt something. He turned around and met Tian Yu's gaze from afar...

The next moment, the city wall blocked off the space.

One person is inside and one person is outside.

……(╯︵╰)……

Not every guest who comes has some preparations and plans like Tian Yu and Mi Heng. There are also some uninvited guests who come uninvited.

It was like Zhou Yu came to visit unexpectedly and gave Yu Jin a surprise.

Or rather frightened.

It's like I was planning to take a good rest during the holidays, and then I received a call from an old classmate I hadn't contacted in ten or twenty years...

Not happy?

Do you dare to move?

Then my old classmate coughed a few times when he called me. Do you want to see me or not?

Yu Jin is training troops in the new city. The most important thing is to train a navy team belonging to Cao Jun as soon as possible to get rid of the disadvantageous situation of being completely dependent on Jingzhou navy...

Of course, the current Jingzhou Navy is not as complete as it was in history, so Cao Cao's fear of the Jingzhou Navy is naturally not as deep as in history.

The navy and the army are completely different. This difference is not described or mentioned in any of the Han's current art of war.

When it comes to the art of war, in the Three Kingdoms there is no way around people like Commander Zhu, but what is very interesting is that not all of these people’s art of war comes from their family traditions, nor are they the kind of people who outshine others with their skills as soon as they come on stage. But it grows slowly in practice.

Those who like to use their brains to ponder will definitely gain more experience points, and those like Zhou Yu who have gained experience on the battlefield since they were young, coupled with Zhou Yu's brains, will naturally have a high military level. .

Hefei New City is guarded by Jin, and there are not many troops. Moreover, if you take the waterway, you have to go through a winding waterway from the river to Xincheng. It is blessed by mountains on both sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, Yu Jin is stationed here. Relatively speaking, it is relatively stable.

But the good times in life are always short-lived...

As Zhou Yu returned to Chaisang and began combat deployment, Yu Jin's good days were over.

"Is this a frontal attack? 』

“Then what happened to some of the ships upstream? 』

"Or are you just trying to contain this place, and are you actually planning to march into Jingzhou again?" 』

Yu Jin looked at Zhou Yu's arrangement and scratched his head.

Cao Jun's navy strength was not very strong to begin with, well, or almost zero. Historically, after the Jingzhou navy was incorporated, Cao Cao was happy and worried at the same time. He was very conflicted. On the one hand, he had to use Jingzhou people to train and lead the navy, but on the other hand, he was extremely uneasy. Until the later period, Cai Mao and others After being transferred to Jizhou and letting his own people take over the navy, they finally managed to get harmonious.

Cao Cao did not kill Cai Mao, Mr. Luo framed it, uh, it was artistically processed.

From this perspective, Cao Jun's navy has always been not very good. After all, only professional people can do professional things well. The more a layman directs, the more chaotic it will be.

Yu Jin was very cautious. He had sentry towers and scouts 200 miles away, so he knew as soon as Zhou Yu and the others entered the reconnaissance range. There was a team of about five or six thousand people leaving Chaisang, and he knew it clearly, but Yu Jin knew that he knew it, and the key was that he couldn't defeat it.

Yu Jin's troops are not unlimited. If they just focus on defense, of course, the problem will not be big, but if they want to go further, problems will follow.

Yu Jin was right to be cautious, and soon he felt the pressure.

This pressure comes from the strategic and tactical level, from the ability of the soldiers, and even from the physical fitness of the warship...

Zhou Yu's navy command skills are at least S level and above, while Yu Jindingtian is an A. In addition, Jiangdong has always been better than Cao Jun in terms of the quality of his soldiers and warships. When the large and small ships advanced hand in hand, they began to pull out the troops. When Yu Jin was at the sentry tower along the river, Yu Jin didn't have much power to fight back.

They were even bullied by Jiangdong's navy to the edge of the water stronghold. When the armor of Jiangdong's ship opened the windows, sharp arrows and stone bullets flew out from the ship and flew towards Cao Jun. The fighting in the water stronghold caused the soldiers of Cao's army in the water stronghold to complain incessantly.

Yu Jin couldn't bear it anymore...

Go to war!

Even as an opponent, Yu Jin quite envied and admired the Jiangdong Navy, especially the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy who were on the ups and downs of the building ships. They could make timely adjustments based on the correction of the military academy's passwords in the building ships. The angle and direction of the shooting, and then the continuous suppression of the water village, I have to say that it is indeed quite remarkable. Compared with these well-trained Jiangdong sailors, are these navy soldiers under Yu Jin...

The two sides fought a small scale battle, and Cao Jun dispatched three large ships and more than ten medium-sized warships. The Jiangdong side was about the same, and even had slightly fewer medium-sized ships than Cao Jun. However, the result of the battle made Yu Jin very helpless, and Very surprised. On the one hand, Jiangdong's battle losses were very small. The only medium-sized battleship that was destroyed was dragged back by the Jiangdong people. On the other hand, more than ten battleships on his own side were almost half damaged, and that one was regarded as a treasure by Yu Jin. The building ship was also successfully hit by a stone bullet from the Jiangdong navy into the shooting window on the side, almost penetrating the cabin!

If it was just luck, Yu Jin wouldn't be too worried, but now from the perspective of battle damage, this is not a matter of luck. The gap between the two sides in water battles is huge.

Faced with such a battle result, Yu Jin could only helplessly start to shrink the defense line. At the same time, he passed the news of Zhou Yu's attack back to Jingzhou, so that Cao Ren in Jingzhou could prepare...

While the situation here in Jingzhou is tense, the situation near Guangling County in Xuzhou is also tense.

Shortly after Chen Deng's death, Man Chong, who was transferred to Xuzhou, also felt the pressure from Jiangdong.

Yin Li, who was guarding Guangling, sent a military report, saying that after the more than 2,000 leading troops from Jiangdong, some Jiangdong soldiers were again mobilized. Although it was said that they were only under the banner of Zhou Tai, there was no guarantee that there would be no other troops. Which Jiangdong generals are there, and it is not confirmed whether these Jiangdong soldiers are the only ones...

Yin Li himself is not a military commander, so it cannot be expected that Yin Li can conduct a fire reconnaissance, and then like Mr. Wang Lang, he can fight with that person for three to five rounds and escape intact. Therefore, it is impossible to have intelligence about Jiang Dongbing. Very detailed.

The reason why there are no generals and heavy troops mobilized here in Xiapi, Guangling, Xuzhou is because this area was not an ideal marching route in the Han Dynasty. In later generations, swamps were basically invisible near Jingzhou, but during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the middle and lower reaches of the river could be said to be full of swamps. The name Yunmeng Daze was not just blown by anyone. Without the assistance of positioning instruments , if you accidentally go in the wrong direction and swallow your life, the most you can do is create more bubbles in the swamp...

In addition, if there are more swamps, there will be more mosquitoes. The swarms of mosquitoes near the swamp are a disaster for unprepared warm-blooded animals. Only wild boars, hippos, rhinos and the like with thick skin and mud armor can ignore mosquitoes. There are also some cold-blooded animals, such as snakes, scorpions, lizards, etc., which are naturally exempt from mosquito infestation, but ordinary humans...

At the same time, the entire coastline does not extend as far east as in later generations. Lianyungang in later generations is still soaked in sea water, and Yangzhou City in later generations is also a swamp. It will wait until the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Only then did Jiangdu and other cities be built.

Therefore, from a strategic perspective, whether it is supply along the way or geographical importance, the Xuzhou-Yangzhou line of attack is obviously not more important than the Jingzhou line. Therefore, when Jiangdong crosses the river and begins to invade the Jiangbei area, It didn't attract much attention at first. It wasn't until Gaoyou County was attacked that the situation in Guangling Xiapi suddenly became tense.

Man Chong mobilized troops and began to reinforce Xiapi in Guangling, but on the other hand, the problem of Taishan County had to be considered. If that happened, wouldn't it be a big trouble?

Therefore, Man Chong could only adjust the troops as much as possible, and at the same time compile the current situation into a document and send it to Xu County, Yingchuan, so that Xun Yu in Yingchuan could make deployment and adjustments as soon as possible...

Suddenly, the situation suddenly changed, and the clouds of war once again shrouded both sides of the river.
