Rampant in the Super Three Kingdoms ()

I have done a lot of work today, and I am so tired that I feel sore and have to write these things. I need to take a break from heavy armor. I will read the novel and it’s Ye Zi ~ You.)

When the 600,000 naval troops led by Sun Jian went straight up against the current and arrived in Lujiang, they immediately encountered the two armies of Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun who were stubbornly defending each other.

The two legions of Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun, both in terms of the number of soldiers and the ability to fight water, had great disadvantages in the 600,000 naval troops led by Sun Jian. Therefore, they could only resist the city to defend it.

Zhou Yu saw that Lujiang City was extremely strong and had reached its full-scale state by Cao Cao. When his army lacked siege weapons, it was impossible to break through the city in a short period of time. So he drew the water of the Yangtze River and flooded the Lujiang River.

Zhuge Liang even casts the Heavenly Change skill, using heavy rain to assist in the water attack.

Thanks to the fact that Sima Yi, the military advisor of Xiahou Dun, also changed this move in heaven. He has been competing with Zhuge Liang for several days. Whenever Zhuge Liang uses the changes to turn the weather into a heavy rain, Sima Yi turns the weather into a clear state. Even though Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun's army did not collapse early.

It was also through this battle to defend the city that Sima Yi's prestige in Cao's army was greatly improved. Cao Cao had already loved Sima Yi's talent and therefore valued Sima Yi even more. He ordered his only son Cao Pi, who was following him, to take Sima Yi as his teacher and respect him with the etiquette of learning.

Besides, Wu Fan, three days after being besieged by Sun Jian's naval army in Lujiang City, he personally led 450,000 troops to arrive. Although Wu Fan's army was not very good at water warfare, Wu Fan and Zhou Tai had admiral skills, and the 450,000 troops were equipped with all kinds of warships.

When giant fighting ships and tower ships as high as five or six meters appeared on the Yangtze River, the snares commonly equipped by Sun Jian's army were like children's toys in comparison. The snares that made Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun's army suffer, and they could not exert their original power in front of Wu Fan's army, while the Yalan launched by Wu Fan's army caused heavy losses to Sun Jian's army.

Finally, Wu Fan and Zhou Tai led a team of Qingzhou fighting generals and a team of 70,000 guards respectively. Under the cover of his army, Yalan, they also took the yard to change. After several attacks, Sun Jian's army lost nearly 100,000 people.

As a result, Sun Jianjun had to change his original plan of march, abandon Lujiang, and retreat to the downstream of the river to set up a water village. Ye *zi] [You*you]

Wu Fan's army also lost about 50,000 people in this battle to rescue Lujiang. This was a heavy casualty for the main combat unit under Wu Fan, who had almost all changed jobs and had more than 500 troops experience, which fully proved that Sun Jian's advantage in water battle was indeed not a big deal.

Lujiang was finally defended, and the Cao army soldiers who were guarding the city were very happy. The happiest of them was Cao Cao, who personally led the generals out of the city for more than ten miles, guarded by the river, waiting for Wu Fan's army to stop the ship and dock, and held Wu Fan's hands and returned to the city.

The river water in the city has not completely receded, and due to the flooding for many days, the land has a lot of water, and the place where it goes is muddy and potholes. The pots, clay pots and a large amount of debris in residents' homes are chaotic as the river water drifts everywhere, and it is in chaos.

It is naturally inconvenient to station in such a city. Moreover, Sun Jian’s army has retreated, so Cao Cao intends to withdraw his troops from Lujiang City and find another suitable location to garrison.

Sima Yi suggested at this time: Hefei County is located in the lower reaches of Lujiang and also blocks the Yangtze River waterway. It is located between Lujiang and Sunjian Water Village. Two city blocks can be built there to serve as garrison troops. At the same time, it can be further approached by Jianye, which can attack and defend when advancing.

This proposal was exactly what Cao Cao wanted, so he immediately approved it and ordered Zhang He, Li Dian, Cheng Yu and others to lead troops to Hefei and choose a suitable location to start construction of the city gate.

Later, Cao Cao remembered that although he mentioned Sima Yi to Wu Fan in the correspondence, the two of them had never met each other, so he said to Wu Fan:

"Eighth brother, this is Sima Zhongda that I mentioned to you before. Speaking of the contribution of defending the city this time, Zhongda made an indelible contribution. If Zhongda had not used the Tianbian skill to confront Zhuge Liang, the two armies of Yuanzhang and I would never be able to support you to lead the army."

Instead, he said to Sima Yi:

"This is Wu Mengxuan, the governor of the Second Army. Just read the novel and you should have heard of Ye Zi Youbi, the eighth brother Gu, you should have heard of Gu for a long time, so you don't need to introduce Gu more."

Sima Yi had been secretly looking at this famous person with many firsts when Wu Fan stopped the boat and got off the boat. Seeing Cao Cao specially recommended him to the two, Sima Yi knew that he had received great value from Cao Cao. He was happy and hurriedly bowed to Wu Fan and said:

"Oh, it turns out that you are the famous Governor Wu. You have been famous for a long time and are well-known. Today, you will be very comforted to see each other forever."

As he said that, he bowed respectfully to Wu Fan.

However, after looking at Sima Yi, Wu Fan nodded expressionlessly and said, "No need to be polite", even if he had greeted Sima Yi.

Wu Fan's performance not only made Sima Yi stunned, but even Cao Cao did not expect it and looked surprised.

Sima Yi was not familiar with Wu Fan, but said that he knew that Wu Fan was very capable. Therefore, after being stunned for a moment, he naturally thought that Wu Fan was now a first-rank official and a general of cavalry, and he looked down on his low-ranking official position. Sima Yi was currently a sixth-rank official. After sneering in his heart, he did not take this matter seriously.

However, Cao Cao knew Wu Fan very well. Therefore, after everyone dispersed one after another, he only left Wu Fan in the main hall with him, and then asked Wu Fan: Why is the eighth brother so cold to Sima Yi?

Wu Fan wanted to say that Sima Yi was a powerful scheming man in history, indirectly usurped the Cao Wei country that you had run through your life.

However, this was just a thought in Wu Fan's mind. Now Sima Yi has no real power in his hands and has no evidence, so he directly said that he might usurp power and could not convince Cao Cao.

However, since Cao Cao had asked this, Wu Fan had to lie to swear:

"I'm not hiding it from my elder brother. I once met Guan Lu by chance. I got his advice and knew his face. From my elder brother's perspective, Sima Yi was mature and profound, with a scheming scheming. He was not like a person who was content with others. My elder brother still needs to be wary of him."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao was stunned for a while.

Cao Cao cherishes talents very much and is famous for his love for talents. He naturally attaches great importance to Sima Yi, a genius who is rare in a century. However, Wu Fan is his sworn brother, and he has a close relationship with brothers. He cannot ignore Wu Fan's warnings.

This really made him feel embarrassed and undecided.

Instead, Cao Cao felt that his eighth brother was just being advised by Guan Lu, and he did not really get the true teachings of identifying people's faces. Since that's the case, let's record this in your heart first. It's better not to belittle Sima Yi for the time being.

So, this matter was revealed.

After that, Cao's army stepped up construction in Hefei and built two city blocks. After Sun Jian's army encountered strong attacks from Wu Fan's army, Sun Jian did not dare to act rashly in the idea of ​​preserving his final strength. The two armies confronted each other across the river and the days passed day by day.

...

However, in Sun Jian's army, due to the failure of fighting with Cao's army, the whole army was no longer united, and conservative surrender factions and radical pro-war factions appeared. The two factions often argued in front of Sun Jian on the central army tent over trivial matters, which then talked about "It is better to fight with Cao's army to the end, rather than to be broken"; or "take Jiangdong to surrender to Cao's army and end the war and unification of the world."

Among them, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others were in charge of the war, while Zhang Hong, Yan Jun, Yuan Shu and others were in charge of surrender. There were also a large number of generals and ministers who were neutral, and it didn't matter whether they were fighting or surrender.

Although Sun Jian himself has never clearly stated whether to fight or surrender, in fact, his true thoughts in his heart were that he was unwilling to give up the land of Jiangdong to Cao Cao. At least, he had to fight until he really had no ability to compete with Cao's army, so that he could retreat and consider the issue of surrender.

Therefore, when the main war and surrender were once again arguing in front of Sun Jian, Sun Jian directly asked the military advisor Zhou Yu: Now that Cao's army is in great power, there are nearly one million soldiers, and Wu Fan and 400,000 main war troops come to help. But our army has less than 500,000 left. Since Gong Jin is the main war, can he have a way to fight?

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"Although Cao's army has many soldiers, it is not familiar with water warfare, which is its fatal weakness; it is like a tiger's skin covering the paper, which is not to be afraid of. The benefits of water war are nothing more than bow and arrow attacks and fire attacks. As long as our army starts from these two aspects and cooperates with our army's advantages in water warfare, it is easy to defeat Cao's army."

Sun Jian nodded and asked again:

"Cao's army gathered and stationed, and warships of all sizes and large docked in Hefei Water Village. If fire attack is used, it will cause heavy casualties. But I don't know how to make the fire attack plan successful?"

Zhou Yu thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said:

"I have one person who can offer a series of plans to Cao Cao and help our arms plan succeed"

Sun Jian was overjoyed and asked Zhou Yu who the surname was named.

Zhou Yu said:

"Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan."

Pang Tong was recommended by Lu Jian and met Zhou Yu, but it has not been officially launched. During the conversation with Pang Tong, Zhou Yu felt that this person was not only quick-witted, knowledgeable, but also quite talented. Because he is still in the wild, not Sun Jian's generals, it is naturally the most appropriate to let him lobby Cao Cao.

As soon as Zhou Yu said these words to Sun Jian, Sun Jian immediately agreed: Let Pang Tong go to Cao's army camp on the north bank of the river and offer a series of plans to Cao Cao.

...

Two days later, Pang Tong, who deliberately detoured to Lujiang, came to Hefei, the city where Cao Cao was located among the two newly built cities.

The reason for detours to Lujiang was that he did not want Cao Cao's generals to have any connection with Sun Jian's army to avoid failure in a series of plans. Pang Tong himself was also an opposition general, as an offensive general, assuming that he accidentally traveled to the Hefei realm. When he learned that Cao Cao was here, he came to visit him...
