Chapter 57 Southern Sun Liu took three states Sima Yi plans to slaughter the royal family (19
Qingzhou has seven counties, including Qi County, Jinan, Le'an, Beihai, Chengyang, Donglai and Pingyuan, with 62 counties under its jurisdiction. Compared with Zhuge Liang's division of troops to take advantage of Bingzhou, Sun Quan was much more violent when he captured Qingzhou all the way.
Sun Quan is younger than Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Nan Ye, and young Sun Quan is very easy to accept new things. After seeing the power of the Thunderbolt car outside Xuchang City, Sun Quan attacked the city by making Thunderbolt cars to crush it. With the Thunderbolt car, Sun Quan's siege speed is also extremely fast, but it is very time-consuming to build a Thunderbolt car, so Sun Quan's speed in capturing Qingzhou is slower than Liu Bei's capture of Bingzhou. Nevertheless, Sun Quan still wants to get a piece of the pie in Yanzhou.
Liu Bei hesitated before coming to Yanzhou, but Sun Quan did not hesitate at all, and he didn't expect that Nanye had taken Yanzhou. After leaving the necessary soldiers to defend the city in Qingzhou, Sun Quan directly sent troops to Yanzhou and entered from Mount Tai. As a result, Sun Quan hit a nail like Liu Bei, and Huang Zhong and his son are leading troops to guard Taishan County.
When Sun Quan saw the banner of Nanye in the city, he was more dumbfounded than Liu Bei, because he was not prepared at all and hurriedly summoned Lu Su and Lv Meng to discuss.
Lu Su said, "Since the national teacher has taken Yanzhou, we must no longer attack its state and county, otherwise the dispute will make Cao Pi laugh!"
Lv Meng and Lu Su's opposite opinion said, "Zi Jing's words are not good! I took Qingzhou, Nanye took Yanzhou, and must have fallen into the hands of Liu Bei. So Cao Pi only has Yu Ji and You two states. He is afraid that it's too late for his lord. How dare he laugh at it? In the past, there were 300,000 people in the three routes to take Xuchang, but now they have one state to defend, and there are fewer soldiers who can attack Cao Pi's city. In my opinion, Ye City is not available, and this battle ends here.
Today, there are only four princes left in the world, and Nanye occupies many places in the southwest, which is the first. The lord has three prefectures in the east, Xu, Qing and Yang, second only to Nanye. Liu Bei and Cao Pi only have two states, so there is no fear. In the future, the great enemy of the lord is not Cao Pi, but Nan Ye. Why not take Yanzhou to make peace with Cao Pi at this time, and fight against Nan Ye from east to west, and then unify the world?
Sun Quan was very moved by the blueprint described by Lv Meng, but he was really not ready to go to war with Nanye. He couldn't help looking at Lu Su and wanted to hear what he had to say.
Lu Su really stopped him and said, "Lord, you can't! The strength of the Nanye division is obvious to all. If the lord wants to win, the time, place, people and people are indispensable. Although our army won this battle, it also lost a lot, and there was no good plan to prepare to win the national division in advance. This is not the time! The national teacher got Yanzhou first, and there was * to defend the city, which is not a good place! The lord abandoned his alliance and connected Cao Pi. Liu Xuande must help the national teacher, which is not at peace! How can I attack if the time, place, and people are not there?
Sun Quan's way to attack the city and plunder the pool is not difficult, but he is confident to break through the city guarded by Huang Zhong in front of him. However, Sun Quan suddenly felt a headache when he thought of Nan Ye and Liu Bei teaming up. Sun Quan, who is good at politics, can predict the outcome of the war. Liu Bei and Nan Ye have had friendship since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. They are bound to fight themselves. Even if Sun Quan can win over Cao Pi to help the war, the relationship between the two sides is absolutely not as stable as the alliance between Nan Ye and Liu Bei, and their strength is not necessarily comparable to that of Nan Ye and Liu Bei's coalition. In the end, there is no doubt that you will lose.
After thinking about the gains and losses of interests, Sun Quan said, "What Zijing and Ziming said is reasonable. If you want to unify the world, there will be a war with Nanye in the future, but this is by no means a good opportunity. I'll wait and don't be impatient. Let's see what the guards in the city have to say.
Huang Zhong saw Sun Quan's army at the top of the city and did not enter and retreat. He knew that the other party was not well-hearted, so he did not go out of the city to welcome him, but only waited for Sun Quan to finish the discussion. After a long time, he saw Sun Quan leading a group of Wenwu to the city. Pan Zhang came out and said, "Who is the general in the city? Why didn't the king of Wu go to the city to welcome him?
As soon as Huang Xu saw that it was not Sun Quan, he replied for Huang Zhong, "I am Huang Xu under the command of the national teacher. The land in the city is small and can't arrange many people. He also asked the king of Wu to camp with the generals under the city to rest. The national teacher has taken Xu Chang. At this time, he was waiting for the king of Wu to meet in Dongjun. He was ordered to wait here with his father to inform the king of Wu.
Sun Quan was shocked to hear that Nan Ye took Xu Chang, let alone have no intention of attacking the city. In this way, the defensive attitude of Huang Zhong and his son made Sun Quan very unhappy. He felt that Huang Zhong and his son were a villain, but he did not think that he was still discussing the siege with Lu Su and Lv Meng just now.
Of course, Sun Quan, who has decided not to go to war with Nan Ye, will not change his original intention because he is unhappy with Huang Zhong and his son, but he wants to teach Huang Zhong and his son a lesson, so he said, "There is no place to rest in the city, and it's okay for us to stay outside the city. It's just that there is one thing that wants to bother General Huang.
When Huang Zhong saw Sun Quan coming out in person, he came forward and said, "King Wu has something to say. I will try my best."
Sun Quan looked at Huang Zhong's father and son's old and young, and said with a smile, "I've heard of General Huang's prestige for a long time. Today, it's really extraordinary. Several generals under my command have admired General Huang for a long time and always want to find an opportunity to compete. I don't know if General Huang can teach him?
Huang Zhong began to think that Sun Quan wanted to ask for military food and fodder, but he didn't expect to learn martial arts. Wuhui friends are the favorite thing for generals to do. Sun Quan's status is high, and Huang Zhong can't refuse, so he said, "I dare not teach you." It's hard to be loyal to compete with King Wu*.
Sun Quan couldn't help laughing when he heard Huang Zhong's promise: "General Huang is happy! I think this competition will be a little better. Why don't we bet on the day's grain and fodder of our army outside the city? If General Huang wins, he will take one day's grain and grass to the general, and on the contrary, how about General Huang give a day's grain and fod to the army?
Huang Zhong smiled when he heard the words. In fact, he had prepared military food and fodder in the city. If Sun Quan was more polite, it would be okay to give it to him. However, Sun Quan wanted to take advantage of the competition, which made Huang Zhong unhappy. At this time, Huang Zhong not only didn't want to give food and grass to the army, but also wanted to win back some food and grass to let Sun Quan know that he was powerful, so he said, "King Wu's advice is very good!" I just don't know how much the Wu Wang army spends on food and grass every day?
After Sun Quan stayed in Qingzhou, there were still about 50,000 horses. The ancients ate two meals a day, and 100,000 catties of grain per person per meal, so the two bet 100,000 catties of military grain. After agreeing to gamble, Huang Zhong rode alone and went down the city. Sun Quan didn't pay attention to Huang Zhong, so he asked the generals, "Who are you waiting for to win this old army to win some military food?"
A group of Eastern Wu generals were worried about Huang Zhong's failure to invite Sun Quan to enter the city, so they asked for war one after another. After scanning the crowd, Sun Quan decided to let Zhou Tai, who has the highest martial arts skills, fight against Huang Zhong.
