Chapter 826 Forced termination of the exhaustion plan
Sun Lin was the nephew of Sun Quan, the grandson of Sun Jian's eldest brother Sun Qiang, and the son of general Sun Bi. He inherited his title at the age of nine, acted as the prefect of Yuzhang, and became the youngest county governor in the Three Kingdoms.
(Note: Most of the information on the Internet records that Sun Ben died in 219. The author has a different view. After inference, he believes that it was 210. There are three reasons.
First, Sun Lin was born in 202. He inherited the title at the age of nine, and the year was 210. Second, Gu Shao became an official in the same year as Sun Lin became the heir, and succeeded him as the prefect of Yuzhang. Gu Shao served for 5 years and died in 214.
, the backward calculation is also 210 years; thirdly, according to the records of the Three Kingdoms, 'Cao Cao paid homage to Sun Ben as general to conquer the captives in 208, led the county as before, and died in the official position for eleven years.' Sun Ce pacified Yuzhang in early 200, and made Sun Ben the prefect.
The years 200 to 210 are exactly 11 years.
To sum up, it is speculated that a certain data editor did not do research and directly added 11 years from 208 to 219, and latecomers even pasted and copied the quotation...)
Sun Ce died soon after he conquered Jiangdong. Sun Quan's hasty succession to the throne was not stable. Sun Qiang's two sons, Sun Bi and Sun Fu, both looked down on Sun Quan. Even though the two counties of Yuzhang and Luling belonged to the Sun family in name, they were actually in the middle of the country.
country.
Before Red Cliff, Sun Ben secretly communicated with Cao Cao, and Sun Fu tried to trick Cao Cao into attacking him. Unfortunately, the conspiracy was exposed and Sun Quan was exiled.
Sun Fu was exiled to the barbaric land and died in depression. Sun Ben died of illness shortly after the battle in Chibi. Only then did Sun Quan take back control of Yuzhang and Luling.
Gu Shao (Gu Yong's eldest son) died young, and many of Sun Ben's old subordinates were in Yuzhang. Sun Quan still regarded Sun Lin as the governor of Yuzhang.
Sun Lin and his son had been conducting military operations in Yuzhang for twenty years. Four great governors, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng and Lu Xun, who had stationed in Chaisang successively, all respected the father and son very much.
Lu Fan did not have the psychological pressure of others, and regarded Sun Lin as an ordinary junior member of the clan. In addition to being Sun Quan's absolute confidant, he also held the absolute power of Soochow at this time.
After Sun Lin clasped his fists and saluted, he pointed to the map hanging in the tent and said: "Yuzhang borders Jiangxia and Changsha. The most direct threat is Ganning from Wuchang, where there are tens of thousands of Jingzhou navy troops;
Secondly, Changsha had already recruited soldiers last year, and they were sent to the Jingbei front line at the beginning of the year. There are only more than 10,000 troops currently stationed in the county. As for Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling, it seems that they were all drawn by Guan Yu several times. Even if there are
There shouldn’t be many garrison troops either;
In addition, according to horse exploration reports from Ai County and Yichun, Lantian has been in Changsha County recently."
"Isn't Lantian Jiaozhoumu? Why did he go to Changsha?" Zhang Cheng looked curious.
Lu Fan took over the topic and answered: "Zhong Si doesn't know something. Although Lantian is the pastor of Jiaozhou, he oversees the counties in Jingnan. I heard that he is good at farming. Changsha is the main grain-producing area in Jingnan. He is now the
Go and supervise the summer harvest?"
"The general is absolutely right." Sun Lin nodded.
Lu Fanxu stroked his beard with his eyes and said coldly: "The battle in Jingbei is fierce. It is said that in the last month alone, the two armies fought dozens of small-scale battles, with nearly 20,000 casualties. Not long after Xiangyang of Nanjun was controlled by Guan Yu, the frontline military supplies
Mainly supplied by Jingnan, Lantian personally went to supervise the summer harvest, which shows that Guan Yu's food supply is also very tight."
"General Zi Heng, just tell me how to fight. I have heard that the mysterious owl is cunning and cunning. I am willing to be the vanguard to defeat the enemy." Jianwu General Xu Sheng clasped his fists and asked for military service. He was not happy to be transferred from Ruxu to Chaisang.
, but after listening to the intelligence from Lu Dai and Sun Lin, he felt that the western battlefield had great potential, and that he could gain more military exploits than the defense at Ruxuwu.
Lu Fan's next words directly made Xu Sheng feel cold.
"Now Lantian is like a toothless tiger and there is nothing to fear. Sun Taishou has just made it clear that the biggest threat to Chaisang is Gan Ning in Wuchang. Zhong Si (Zhang Cheng) has no previous experience in commanding a navy, and Wen Xiang (
Xu Sheng) still stayed in Chaisang to assist Zhongsi in defending Gan Ning."
After Xu Sheng heard this, he felt like sitting on a chair. Zhang Cheng had been appointed as Ruxudu, his immediate superior. Xu Sheng was originally unconvinced, but he was relieved when he was transferred to Chaisang to serve Lu Fan.
From the analysis of Lu Fan's intention just now, it is obvious that Xu Sheng was asked to be Zhang Cheng's deputy. After going around and around, he still failed to escape his fate, but he could not disobey the commander-in-chief's will.
"Wei." Xu Sheng lowered his head and clasped his fists, speaking out the word with difficulty.
Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to give instructions to Lu Dai: "Although there are currently 50,000 troops stationed in Chaisang and Yuzhou, 20,000 of them are used to defend Gan Ning. I will allocate the remaining 30,000 to
How about your ten thousand? With thirty thousand soldiers to fight against three thousand barbarians, even if we are blocked by Xi Zhen in Guiyang, we should have enough soldiers to rush to Guangzhou."
"The general understands."
Lu Dai said in his heart that ten thousand counts as ten thousand. He was not afraid of Xi Zhen in Guiyang, but worried that Samoko would aid Guangzhou from the waterway. Samoko had become a big star in Pinglin County. After the propaganda of "Lingnan News", Lu
His deeds were spread throughout the mausoleum and other places, and the people in Jiangdong also confused Shamoke with Zhang Fei, who killed Huang Bing and attacked Jiangxia. For a time, it became a scandal.
Lu Fan heard the dissatisfaction in Lu Dai's tone and reasoned, "When the army leaves Luling, there will be no waterways to transport food. If there are too many soldiers, it will be difficult to provide logistics. You have to deal with the corvee work in Luling yourself. In addition,
The soldiers and horses in Luling are only responsible for Pingjiao Prefecture, and the remaining soldiers and horses will also attack Changsha and seize the four southern counties of Jingnan and Jiangxia. The help will definitely be greater."
"Wei." Lu Dai's tone immediately became sincere.
Lu Fan immediately sent He Qi, Dai Liang, Chen Shi, and 10,000 troops to go south to Luling with Lu Dai. He also ordered Sun Lin to seize the time to recruit civilians to prepare for the upcoming war in Jingnan.
After all the troops from Jiangdong counties gathered at Chai Sang, Lu Fan planned to divide his troops into two groups to attack Changsha and capture Lan Tian. At this time, Lan Tian was actually in Linxiang, the capital of Changsha.
The Changsha Prefecture where Mi Fang is located is home to many old faces from Jingzhou. Hao Pu, the prefect of Lingling, and Xizhen, the prefect of Guiyang, all came to Changsha secretly.
When I came to Changsha this time, Lantian inspected Xia Shuang to deceive others. He wanted to use his body as a bait to attract Jiangdong's "backstab" and planned to destroy Sun Quan's family fortune in one battle.
Lan Tian did not bring any enemy troops, nor were Gao Shun, Samoko and other powerful generals. Apart from Wu Ban and Song Chen, the only accompanying generals and troops were Lan Ji, the 500-year-old battalion, and the more than 100 cavalry detectives from the reconnaissance battalion.
Several prefects felt a little guilty when they saw this lineup.
"Although Fujun, the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha can muster 40,000 troops, they are far from the fighting strength of the trapped army, and they lack a commander like General Gao. You can leave him in Guangzhou and command him.
Three thousand barbarians, are there some hidden secrets? After all, there is such a big movement in Soochow..." Xi Zhen asked worriedly.
"Don't you believe me? When have we ever suffered a loss? Just rest assured and do your best." Lan Tian smiled knowingly, then turned to ask Song Chen: "How is the situation over there with General Guan? Jingbei is the center of the whirlpool of the war.
, if there is a big change over there, I wouldn’t dare to give it a try.”
Song Chen cupped his fists and answered: "There were heavy rains around Luoyang a few days ago. It is said that countless houses were washed away. The war in Jingbei also stopped due to the rain. Cao Xiu's plan to weaken the army was forced to terminate..."
