Chapter 58 Wu Chengding of the Northern and Southern Han Dynasty Expanded the territory of the four princes (12

Nan Ye's capture of Xiqiang cannot be said to be effortless, but it is also thrilling. But it is not so easy for the other three to expand their territory. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each defended a state. Zhuge Liang had no general available. He only brought Guan Ping and Liu Feng two young generals to the Xiongnu, and they did not dare to bring more soldiers and horses. Although Zhuge Liang can win every battle with wisdom, the Xiongnu soldiers have also been repeatedly tricked. However, if you want to gain wisdom, you must take advantage of the right time and place. Zhuge Liang has to plan every battle for a long time, and of course, the speed of marching troops will not be fast.

Zhou Yu's cross-sea combat is also difficult. Yangzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou, where Dongwu is located, are all close to the sea, but Sun Quan has not been able to develop a navy. Even if the merchant ship goes to sea, it must be insured by the Dart Bureau to dare to go to sea. This is because in addition to storms, pirates are rampant at sea.

Those pirates with skull flags not only come and go like the wind, but also fight bravely. The Eastern Wu Water Army is not the opponent. What makes Sun Quan feel depressed is that the pirate's ship is faster than the warship of Dongwu, and the pirate's equipment is more sophisticated than the Eastern Wu regular army. Fortunately, Zhou Yu led his troops to cross the sea and did not meet pirates this time, but only damaged some ships in the wind and waves.

Sun Quan would not have thought that those pirates were all private fleets under Gan Ning's command. Zhou Yu was not attacked by crossing the sea not because of good luck, but Nan Ye ordered to deliberately let Zhou Yu's fleet go so that Dong Wu's attention could focus on Sanhan and Gaogu Li.

It's easy for Zhou Yu to cross the sea, but it's not easy to maintain supplies. As soon as Zhou Yu's army arrived in the land of Sanhan, Gan Ning ordered his private fleet to block the route from Qingzhou to Sanhan. Neither the supply ship sent by Sun Quan nor the liaison ship sent by Zhou Yu were allowed to cross the sea. Zhou Yu had no choice but to support the war. Fortunately, the three tribes of Ma Han, Chen Han and Benhan were not strong enemies, so Zhou Yu established a foothold in Sanhan. But where are the pirate lairs that surprised Zhou Yu? Why can the route be blocked?

Nowadays, the naval base in Nanye is no longer only in Yizhou. Hainan Island in the southwest of Yizhou and Jizhou in the northeast of Yizhou have been incorporated into the navy under Nanye. There was originally a Japanese country on Juzhou Island, and there was also a queen named Bei Mihu. As soon as Ganning's army arrived, this small country, which was still in a matrilineal society, surrendered, and Juzhou became the territory of Nanye. It is very convenient for pirates disguised by the Jiaozhou navy to block the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea from Qizhou. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu don't have a chart. Naturally, they don't know that there is an island to the east of Sanhan.

Zhou Yu could not contact Sun Quan from the sea, so he could only send people to enter Liaodong by land, and then bypass Youzhou and Jizhou to get in touch with Sun Quan. If it hadn't been for the alliance with Cao Pi, Zhou Yu's army would have been trapped on the Korean Peninsula.

Of course, Cao Pi knew that the envoy of Eastern Wu crossed the border, and Sun Quan also sent a secret letter to discuss with Cao Pi that if Zhou Yu could not cross the sea and return, he would return from the front line of Liaodong, Youzhou and Jizhou, hoping that Cao Pi would agree.

Cao Pi is very dissatisfied with Sun Quan's capture of Sanhan and Goguryeo. After all, the two countries are not connected to Sun Quan's territory, but to Liaodong. Cao Pi believes that even if he wants to send troops to attack the land of the two countries, it should be attacked by himself, and it is not Sun Quan's turn to cross the sea. However, Sun Quan's alliance against Liu Bei and Nan Ye was the general policy set by Sima Yi, and Cao Pi did not dare to make a hasty decision. He could only send an envoy to Sima Yi, who was on the expedition to Wuhuan.

Soon Cao Pi received a reply from Sima Yi. The letter reads: "Your Majesty needs to know that the current great enemy is not Sun Quan, but Liu Bei and Nan Ye. His Majesty sits in Liaodong, but he doesn't know that there are three Koreas, Goguli and other countries. How did Sun Quan know about it? This must be Nan Ye's contribution and Sun Quan, which made Sun Quan take the two places.

The former Nan Ye presented Xianbei, Wuhuan Map and His Majesty, and Weichen was expected to have a treacherous plan. Now it seems that Nan Ye is using the plan of the two tigers to fight for food, which is to make His Majesty compete with Sun Quan so that he can sit down and reap the profits. In my opinion, Your Majesty can respond to Sun Quan's request and must not provoke Zhongnanye.

The land of Sanhan and Goguryeo is not as good as Xianbei and Wuhuan, and even Sun Quan's land is not as good as your majesty's new land. In addition, Sanhan and Goguli are close to Liaodong, but they are separated from Qingzhou across the sea, which is inconvenient. This is why Sun Quan borrowed the way. It can be seen that the power of the two places is not easy to keep. If your majesty wants to take it, you can take it at any time, not for a moment. It's not too late to take it after eliminating Liu Bei.

Cao Pi was very happy to see His Majesty in Sima Yi's letter. After reading the letter, he gave up the idea of fighting with Sun Quan, replied that Sun Quan could take the road, and sent a letter to Sima Yi asking when he could return to the army.

When Sima Yi received a letter from Cao Pi urging him to return to the army, he was lying on the desk and writing a victory document. On the Shuai account, there are also several red lacquer square boxes, which are all the heads of enemy generals, including Xianbei Shanyu Budugen, General Ke Bineng and so on...

Since the last letter from Cao Pi and learned that Zhou Yu was taking Sanhan and Goguryeo, Sima Yi has been thinking about returning to the army. When he received the map sent by Nan Ye, Sima Yi's first thought was that Nan Ye was not well-hearted. However, the ** of Xianbei and Wuhuan is too big, and Sima Yi can't guess what Nan Ye has, so he decided to take the two places first.

Zhou Yu sent troops to take Sanhan, which made Sima Yi realize that Sun Quan also got the map sent by Nan Ye. Based on this, Liu Bei was more likely to get Nan Ye's map. In this way, the three soldiers and horses may have been transferred from the territory of the Han Dynasty by Nan Ye. With this idea, Sima Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If Nan Ye takes this opportunity to attack, I'm afraid no one can stop Nan Ye's soldiers.

The only thing that makes Sima Yi feel happy is that there is still Liu Bei and Sun Quan between Cao Pi and Nanye's territory. If Nanye sent troops, Cao Pi would never be the first to fight. However, even so, Sima Yi has a strong sense of crisis. So he changed his strategy from a gradual attack mode to destroying the main force of the enemy. At this time, the main force of Xianbei and Wuhuan were defeated by Sima Yi, and there were only some small tribes left. Sima Yi left half of the people and a few generals to deal with it.

Sima Yi's victory document has not been completed, so he simply wrote two sentences after the letter to inform Cao Pi to return to the army on the same day. After Sima Yi sealed the document and ordered the messenger to take away the document and the head together, he began to think about another question, that is, whether to tell Zhou Yu his inference and let him return to the army to defend Nan Ye.

After thinking about it, Sima Yi picked up his pen again. How could he not understand the reason that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold? As for whether Zhou Yu will believe his judgment after receiving his letter, it can only be decided by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu didn't expect to receive a secret letter from Sima Yi, the governor of Cao Wei, and not to expect that Sima Yi was also fighting abroad like himself. Whether Zhou Yu's expedition against Sanhan, Goguryeo, or Sima Yi's expedition against Wuhuan and Xianbei, including Liu Bei and Nanye's expedition against Xiongnu and Xiqiang, it is top-secret news to the outside world. Because no one wants other princes to know the movements of their own soldiers and horses. If the sea had not been blocked, Zhou Yu would never have borrowed Cao Wei's land.

After reading Sima Yi's letter, Zhou Yu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Sima Yi's judgment is not necessarily true, but it is unavoidable. Zhou Yu made a decision and ordered Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to lead half of the men to continue to attack Goguryeo. Zhou Yu himself led his troops straight to Liaodong and returned to Ma Yi and agreed to meet in western Liaoning.

The two governors, Sima Yi and Zhou Yu, received their troops in advance. Nan Ye and Liu Bei did not know about them, let alone Zhuge Liang, who was on an expedition to the Xiongnu. Nan Ye did not expect to order Gan Ning to block the sea and weaken Sun Quan's plan, which forced Zhou Yu and Sima Yi's two demons to one place. If he knew that it would be the result, Nan Ye would rather Zhou Yu walk the sea than see Zhou Yu and Sima Yi join forces.

Liaoxi County is located in Youzhou, and to the east is the boundary of Liaodong. Strictly speaking, Liaodong also belongs to Youzhou, but when it was divided by Gongsun Du, it became an area independent of the jurisdiction of Youzhou.

Liaoxi County, as a county separating Youzhou and Liaodong, has always had heavy troops stationed, and the people are also used to the transit of soldiers and horses. However, in recent days, the people of Liaoxi have been very nervous to see the soldiers and horses, because recently, the soldiers and horses stationed in western Liaoning have been more than ten times, and the number of soldiers and horses of Cao Wei, but also the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu, which made the people of Liaoxi smell the war. Many people have begun to pack their bags and prepare to take refuge elsewhere. Taking a step forward in this troubled times often means that there is a greater chance of survival. As for the property and family property in the city, it is not important to live.

Sima Yi and Zhou Yu in the county town can't take care of the people in western Liaoning at this time. At this time, the two governors were standing in front of a map, deduing the movements of Nanye's soldiers and horses.

Zhou Yu pointed to the map and said, "The places where Nanye sent troops can only be Sili, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and only the four prefectures that can be taken are Bingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Among the four states, except for Yangzhou, the other three states are the boundary of Liu Bei. Yangzhou is my main foundation and has a heavy army guard, so Nanye's plan is mostly for Liu Bei, which also responds to the rumors of the battles of the Southern Han and Northern Han.

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "If Nanye only want Liu Bei, why did you give me a map and transfer me away from the soldiers?"

Zhou Yu said, "Nan Ye must want us to compete in the north and can't help Liu Bei. I expect that the king of Wei will not want me to take the land of Sanhan and Goguli.

Although Sima Yi heard Zhou Yu guess Cao Pi's intention, he still shook his head and said, "If Nan Ye wants to find Liu Bei, he can first transfer Liu Bei's soldiers, and then tell us that we will attack Liu Bei. Wouldn't it be better for Nan Ye to take advantage of the chaos?

Zhou Yu frowned slightly and said doubtfully, "Is it possible that Sima Dudu has decided that Nanye will attack my lord Yangzhou?"

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi still shook his head and said, "I've been thinking about this for many days, and there is something strange about it. If Nanye wants to go to Yangzhou, he can first transfer the soldiers of the governor of Zhou, and then tell Liu Bei and my lord. In my opinion, I'm afraid Nanye has other plans.

Zhou Yu's wisdom is no worse than that of Sima Yi, but the information he received was one step later than Sima Yi's consideration. At this time, I heard Sima Yi deny himself several times. At that time, he turned around and said, "The meaning of Sima Dudu is that Nan Ye is also expanding his territory and has no time to take care of him, so he transferred my three soldiers and horses to another place to avoid attacking the future?"

Sima Yi nodded and smiled when he heard the words: "What Governor Zhou saw is the same as mine!" Only in this way can we understand the meaning of the three Nanye families giving pictures.
