Chapter 3457: Making a big deal
Zhou Yu saw the self-decision of the Jiangdong Military Academy on the front line, but he had no choice.
Commanding on the battlefield today is likely to be like running the latest black monkey with the CPU configuration from 20 years ago. It may still work, but frame drops and lags are inevitable.
Zhou Yu's face turned a little blue.
There was no problem with his general direction, but his soldiers did not go up and failed to achieve the plan he had planned.
He should have considered these issues, but he was anxious, so he failed to achieve perfection in some details. It was these imperfect details that led to the evolution of the battlefield.
The wars of the Han Dynasty today cannot be solved by killing the commanders and generals one-on-one. What is more important is the fight between soldiers and soldiers, and the flesh and blood between ordinary soldiers who do not even deserve their names, which ultimately determines the situation of the battle.
In fact, the biggest gap between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang is not in intelligence and strategy, but in his attitude towards ordinary soldiers.
Zhuge Liang did not necessarily know how to treat ordinary soldiers from the beginning, but because the overall military strategy, training and logistics support of the Cavalry Army were biased towards later generations of thinking patterns, which determined that even the natives of the Han Dynasty would have some attitude changes towards ordinary soldiers under the military system of the Cavalry.
Equality and freedom did not exist in the Han Dynasty, but the system of supporting poor families and promoting military forces gave this group of people from the middle and lower classes a broader world.
Zhuge Liang had no idea of human rights or not. He was just under the system of the cavalry and instinctively chose to make a "good relationship" with these soldiers. Because Zhuge Liang knew that even if he retreated from the front line and went to the local area to manage people's livelihood and manage government affairs, he would have a great possibility of dealing with retired inspections of the army and officials promoted to the lower-level officers. So during this period of time in the army, what's the harm of taking care of the soldiers and gaining a good reputation?
On the contrary, Zhou Yu, as well as the traditional Han generals like Zhou Yu, a series of commanding generals including Cao Cao, would not have any preferential treatment for ordinary soldiers, and even made preferential treatment, they were afraid of becoming the target of suspicion.
"Invite to buy people's hearts" is a sin that has existed in China for many years!
But the question is, why does this sin last for a long time?
If the people of the world are all towards the Han Dynasty and the court, then what's the use of who comes to "invite"? If the people have deviated from the court and formulated many crimes, can they avoid the emergence of ambitious people? Even if they do not invite people to buy people's hearts, can they stop the deviance of people's hearts?
Zhou Yu could not solve this problem, so when he took over some of the soldiers left by Sun Ce, in order to avoid being suspicious of Sun Quan, he deliberately sent out the veterans left by Sun Ce during the Battle of Jiangling...
If Zhou Yu did not send out those soldiers or even went to fight Jiangling, then perhaps it might be a different situation now.
Of course, it is very likely that Sun Quan would doubt Zhou Yu even more, and he would not let Zhou Yu have the authority to command the soldiers again after death.
But who knows?
Unless it is a keyboard warrior who always blesses God's perspective.
It is useless for Zhou Yu to regret it now, because the past will pass forever, and once the mistakes are made, they will never be compensated.
Just like late justice, it is not worthy of being called justice at all, it can only be said to be an adjustment for social stability. The fairness and justice of a society should be reflected in respect and care for the people at the bottom of society. It is not only necessary to make the people live safely, responsible, but also dignity. In the Han Dynasty, most rulers do not care about how the people are living at the bottom of the people.
Now, what Jiangdong has accumulated in the early stages is not just Zhou Yu, but these problems have erupted in a concentrated manner under the war.
As Zhuge Liang said, when Zhou Yu left the advantage of "local advantage", he was at a disadvantage, and the time and people were not related to him. Now the Sichuan and Shu army have tied up the front fleet of the Jiangdong Army, preparing to infiltrate the defense line of the Jiangdong Army and come to him.
Although the number of warships on the other side was not as large as that on their own, they began to gain the upper hand in momentum!
But now Zhou Yu can't retreat again...
It is not that we cannot retreat, but that once we retreat, it is almost equivalent to admitting the failure of this expedition.
Then, even if Zhou Yu is still in Jiangdong and lives well, he will lose most of his voice. What's more, he is the main general. If he escapes at the last minute, even if he goes back alive, he will be worse than death.
Zhou Yu ordered his own building ship and affiliated formation to accelerate.
Seeing the cowardice of the Jiangdong Military Academy ahead, he was also very clear about the reasons for the unfavorable situation. Therefore, Zhou Yu wanted to lead the team himself, use the bravery of his own troops to awaken the courage of the Jiangdong Navy, and use the Jiangdong Navy to train combat skills to regain the battle situation!
Avoiding the reality and attacking the falsehood, Zhou Yu's choice is in line with the art of war.
The navy has always been Jiangdong's strength. If it is defeated by the Sichuan and Shu army in the navy, then for Jiangdong, the psychological blow will far exceed the damage on the battlefield.
Zhou Yu knew the consequences very well.
Even Zhou Yu could predict that if he lost, the Jiangdong "surrender faction" would take off directly, with more reasons and excuses.
Zhou Yu's fleet cut in and grasped the opportunity very accurately. He turned first, avoided the somewhat chaotic front fleet of Jiangdong, and then counter-teamed from the other side of the Sichuan-Shu Navy.
...
...
On the river, the two armies fought fiercely, and in the mountains and forests, they also showed their strategies and martial arts.
The mountains are undulating and the roads are rugged.
Gan Ning is lying in ambush.
He had no idea why he was ambushing here.
Didn’t they fail to attack the Jiangdong Army? How could there be a Jiangdong Army?
It's like both sides know what cards the other party has and where they are prepared. How can they continue to play the cards that the other party already knows?
Gan Ning couldn't figure it out, but he had one advantage, that is, even if he didn't understand, he would still do it.
Because he believed that Zhuge Liang was smarter than him.
Just leave the things you think about to Zhuge Liang.
『The Jiangdong Army will come?』
The Hussars around Ganning asked.
"I don't know." Gan Ning answered very honestly, and would not deliberately say anything stupid to deceive. "Zhuge said he wanted us to ambush, and said that there might be a Jiangdong army coming."
"What Zhuge is talking about? That's right, there should be Jiangdong Army coming..."
The soldier retreated with his head shrank and seemed to have received a satisfactory answer.
Gan Ning couldn't help but curl her lips. You all think what Zhuge is doing is credible, right? If you say what I say, then you will all question it, right? Xianren Banban.
Gan Ning turned around and began to check the hidden situation of his soldiers. "You turtle grandson, bury your head lower! That one over there, pull some grass leaves to cover your glans, don't be illuminated by the sun..."
Gan Ning cursed in a mess.
The Hussar was scolded by Gan Ning, and he was not annoyed. He laughed and did as he ordered.
After staying with Gan Ning for a long time, these Hussar soldiers also knew that when Gan Ning cursed, they didn’t really have any malice, but his bad habits when he was a water thief. Has anyone ever seen a habitual water thief who said, “Thank you, I’m sorry”?
Gan Ning checked it, looked up at the top of the cliff, then waved his arm and signaled.
Unlike ordinary ambushing, Gan Ning and others not only used ordinary swords, gunpowder, but also used gunpowder. At the top of the cliff, there were more than a dozen soldiers not only responsible for looking out and alert, but also guarding several rocks on the cliff.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of gunpowder and avoid the previous effect of light sound, this time the Hussars specially dug a gap under the rock and stuffed the gunpowder grenade into the gap.
According to the craftsmen in the army, this will be effective. This is how you do it when you open mountains in the Qinling Mountains...
Shi Chang above the cliff also noticed Gan Ning, so he waved his hand to respond, then turned to the soldiers beside him and said, "General is checking the ambush... You can check it too, don't be able to fall down by then, that would be awesome!"
"Don't worry!" The soldiers beside the stone did not even leave the rock. "I went to ask the craftsman for advice. There were hundreds of eyes that were dug out, so there must be no problem!"
It is impossible to succeed without blood and sweating.
The soldiers beside the stone were still wrapped in bandages.
It was scratched by a stone.
Suddenly, a few slightly anxious bird songs came from afar, and some birds were startled.
The upper and lower parts suddenly became tense, and everyone knew that there was something abnormal.
"Jiangdong Army is really here!"
...
...
Zhou Tai always felt very uncomfortable, especially when walking on this mountain road that is not a road.
He would rather be on the boat.
He was born as a pirate, but he ended up coming to climb the mountain!
This is simply...
But Zhou Tai had no choice but to obey military orders.
Because this is what he chose.
To be honest, there are not many ways that water thieves can choose. There is only one cavalry in the world. The reason why most princes use water thieves or take yellow turbans is not that they think the experience of these people is so miserable, but that they have to work hard.
Zhou Tai has already worked hard, but some people still think he is not selling enough.
Just like Zhou Yu's direct military academies, although they are not as good as Zhou Taigao's rank, when they look at Zhou Tai, they always raise their heads and expose the nose hairs in their nostrils. When they see other high-ranking officials, superiors and superiors, those guys are exposed with the hair on their necks.
Back then, Zhou Tai was poor and had no meals. Whether he could have a good meal depends on whether there was a fat sheep coming to his door.
Now Zhou Tai is indeed much better at eating, drinking, wearing and using food, drinking, wearing and using water thieves, but...
Moreover, there are a lot of water pirates in Jiangdong. After hearing about Zhou Tai’s deeds, they all encouraged each other, thinking that they would become the next Zhou Tai, but they didn’t know that a generation of leaders only needed one water pirate.
Jiang Qin was the leader of the previous generation.
Zhou Tai is the leader now...
The wind in the mountains is very cold.
Zhou Tai felt very cold.
He looked up at the surroundings, feeling that these strange rocks seemed to be enemies.
He didn't know what to say, if he said too much, the wolf would come.
To be continued...
