Wenpin was really worried that Kou Feng would fall into the trap. After all, Wenpin really couldn't figure out why the Soochow Army stood still on the north bank of the Han River if there were no other plans.
But...sometimes, being reckless also has the benefits of being reckless.
In fact, Soochow has mobilized a total of 150,000 land and sea troops this time, which is almost reaching Soochow's mobilization limit.
After all, it is impossible to mobilize soldiers from all places to fight. Soochow also needs to do a good job in local defense and stabilize local security.
In addition, Soochow has a hellish military system, and not all aristocratic families support sending troops to Jingzhou. It is really not easy to gather 150,000 land and sea troops.
Among the 150,000 water and land forces, 120,000 were brought by Zhou Yu to attack Jiangling. Zhou Yu's 100,000 infantry and the 20,000 naval troops led by Zhu Ran were besieging the city.
The remaining 30,000 were all thrown to Xiangyang in a bluff to contain the main force of the Xiangyang army and prevent them from going south to support Jiangling.
As for the naval force, the 20,000-strong naval force was led by Zhang Cheng, which played a role in containing the Xiangyang navy, covering the army's flanks, and ensuring the smooth flow of food channels.
As for the army, Quan Cong was the chief general and Zhu Huan was the deputy general, and they carried out a bluff and suspicion strategy.
It can be seen that Zhou Yu took great pains to arrange the troops and horses along this route. He directly arranged for two generals with independent capabilities to come over and implement this suspicious strategy.
According to Zhou Yu's plan, Quan Cong and Zhu Huan should divide their troops at this time and begin to attack various counties near Fancheng, creating a situation where the Soochow army is pressing down on the border, forcing Wenpin not to rashly divide his troops.
But Zhou Yu ignored one thing.
Whenever he appoints Zhu Huan as the chief general and Quan Cong as the deputy general, this matter is not that troublesome. But this time, Quan Cong is the chief general and Zhu Huan is the deputy general.
Zhu Huan was good at everything, he was righteous, he cared about his soldiers, he was a good leader, and he fought bravely. He had one shortcoming - he was ashamed to be a queen.
Why should you, Quan Cong, be the commander-in-chief, and why should I help you? !
In terms of ability, qualifications, and achievements, in what way am I, Zhu Huan, worse than you, Quan Cong? !
What does Quan Cong mean when he says you are nagging me? !
In terms of ability, qualifications, and achievements, what is it about you, Zhu Huan, that is better than me? !
There is a saying that Quan Cong was involved in the "Second Palace Battle" in history, so his reputation was very poor, but in terms of military qualifications and achievements, he was really no worse than Zhu Huan.
But the problem is that if he goes to a head-on with Zhu Huan, Yu Jun will be disadvantaged. Quan Cong doesn't have Zhu Huan's problem of insisting on being the chief general or the deputy general who feels aggrieved.
Therefore, Quan Cong persuaded Zhu Huan, anyway, according to the strategy formulated by the superior general, we will soon divide our troops to attack the counties on the north bank of the Han River. By then, we will each lead 5,000 people to go out. There will be no chief generals and deputy generals. Already? !
Quan Cong was really tolerant, but Zhu Huan was still a little reluctant and began to question Quan Cong's strategy of dividing his troops almost unreasonably.
Actually, what Zhu Huan did was more or less a matter of face, especially when his commander-in-chief was Quan Cong.
Zhu Huan and Quan Cong are both from Wu County. From the political spectrum, both of them can be regarded as generals in the Jiangdong family series.
But the problem is that Zhu Huan is a descendant of the Zhu family from the four major families in Wuzhong, and although Quan Cong is also from a family, the Quan family in Qiantang is really different from the Zhu family in Wuzhong.
Therefore, what made Zhu Huan feel unbalanced was that a descendant of the Zhu family in Wuzhong actually served as a lieutenant to a descendant of the Quan family in Qiantang. If this was spread back to his hometown, wouldn't he lose face? !
What does he have? !
Isn't it just because he is the son-in-law of the Soochow Emperor? If he didn't have this status, then the position of the general should be mine.
This is where Zhu Huan's heart is unbalanced. He is not dissatisfied with Quan Cong in terms of ability or qualifications, he just wants to save face.
If Quan Cong could say something soft at this time, calm Zhu Huan's mood a little, and give Zhu Huan enough face, then Zhu Huan might just let this matter go.
Just like Quan Cong said, once the troops are divided and each of them leads an army, there will be no distinction between generals and lieutenants.
But the question is why Quan Cong wants to spoil Zhu Huan? !
In terms of family background, Quan Cong is indeed inferior to Zhu Huan, but Quan Cong's current status was achieved with swords and spears.
He did not get his current official position because of his status as the supreme son-in-law of Soochow, but because he had the ability to reach his current position, he became the supreme son-in-law of Soochow.
The primary and secondary relationship cannot be reversed.
Moreover, Quan Cong is also a general. He has been leading troops in battles since he was twenty years old. How can a person on the battlefield have no temper at all?
After being persuaded to give in before, Quan Cong felt that he had fulfilled his responsibility and tried his best to consider the morale of the entire army. What do you mean by Zhu Huan being so unyielding again? !
Just when Zhu Huan continued to mutter about Quan Cong's marching arrangements and wanted to argue, Quan Cong said something strangely.
"This is the policy of the Supreme General. If Xiu Mu has any doubts about the Supreme Order, he can write to the Supreme General to ask, or he can also write to the Supreme Being."
That means: You and I are beeping all the time, what’s your ability? If you are capable, why don’t you go to the general or the supreme to reason? !
Zhu Huan was so angry that he couldn't even say a word after holding it in for a long time.
There was no way, Zhu Huan really didn't dare to complain to these two people. One was the number one in the army and had such high prestige that no matter how "shameful" Zhu Huan was, he would not dare to get in front of others.
The other one is Soochow Supreme. He is so full that if he writes a letter about this matter, then he is not looking for scolding! ! !
Zhu Huan really didn't dare to deal with these two people, but Quan Cong's sinister tone, after finishing speaking, he looked at himself, Zhu Huan, with a half-smile but not a smile, and walked away directly.
After returning to his tent, Zhu Huan became angrier and more aggrieved as he thought about it. He almost had to change the items in his tent on the spot.
It happened that at this time, one of Zhu Huan's personal guards had eaten something dirty, and his mind was blocked. He actually took the initiative to approach Zhu Huan, trying to persuade Zhu Huan.
"Although the general has great talents, from a villain's point of view, the general is not making any big mistakes. He is just an emperor."
Well, before he finished speaking, he was kicked away by Zhu Huan.
It's strange that this personal guard couldn't speak, but he actually defended Quan Cong. How could he be right? How could Zhu Huan listen to this? !
At that moment, he became so angry that he kicked out his own bodyguard, kicking him a foot away. He also kicked him until he vomited blood.
After all, Zhu Huan is a person who practices martial arts all year round. When he is about to become a general, he pays attention to the strength of his waist and abdomen. A kick is quite powerful.
In addition, as Zhu Huan's personal guard, he was not prepared for Zhu Huan at all. Not only did he receive a solid kick, but the position of the kick was also a bit unlucky to hit his chest.
Then... Well, I was kicked and vomited blood.
After the kicking, Zhu Huan felt a little regretful, but now that the matter was over, what could he say.
One's own personal guard, one's own raised one, is the same as one's own servants. Anyway, no one was killed. Just comfort him a little, give him more money and medicine, let him recover well, and the matter will be over.
But just at this time, the army officers came to see Zhu Huan, and unfortunately, they saw Zhu Huan kicking people away and vomiting blood.
Jun Zheng is in charge of the discipline of the entire army. How do you, Zhu Huan, beat and scold his guards in private? Jun Zheng can pretend to be invisible, but this happened right in front of his eyes. If Jun Zheng pretends to be blind again, military discipline in the army will be ignored. It's completely over.
Therefore, Jun Zheng took a deep look at Zhu Huan and immediately turned around, preparing to tell the commander-in-chief Quan Cong about the matter and let him make a decision.
Zhu Huan saw that he was doing well. He had just suffered a blow from Quan Cong. If this matter came up in front of Quan Cong again and Quan Cong saw his joke, he would lose his face.
Therefore, Zhu Huan immediately ordered the guards on his left and right to go out of the tent to intercept the military commander. He quickly explained to the injured guards and made a confession, saying that he was accidentally injured during the confrontation and then deceived him.
But when Zhu Huan had just completed his confession and was about to come out to find Jun Zheng to explain, Zhu Huan was shocked to find that Jun Zheng had disappeared.
Zhu Huan was angry at that time.
If you can’t even keep someone here, what else can you do for food? !
Suddenly, he felt angry and kicked someone out of his old habit again.
But at this time, after receiving the report from the army, Quan Cong planned to come to Zhu Huan in person and say.
I can't care if you kick your own bodyguard. After all, our country in Wu has a military system, so it counts as your own private soldier. You are responsible for your own life and death.
But if you disobey military discipline in the military camp and use lynching in front of military officers, you must have an explanation.
It's not that Quan Cong thought this was such a big deal. In these days, it was common for chief officials to punish their subordinates. But Zhu Huan was somewhat of a bad nature.
The bad thing is not that he beats and punishes his subordinates, but that he dares to beat and punish his subordinates in front of the military commander. This is basically equivalent to treating military discipline as nothing.
If there is no explanation for this, then military discipline will be broken.
Therefore, Quan Cong came here because, on the one hand, as the commander-in-chief, he had to come if something like this happened. On the other hand, Quan Cong also hoped that with his arrival, Zhu Huan would be able to restrain himself a little, and then he would find an opportunity to give him a step up and fool him over, and then it would be over.
As a result, Quan Cong saw one person and one kick, and two personal guards flew out in front of him.
Report this matter! ! !
Regarding the matter of Zhu Huan and Quan Cong, there are historical records, but Xiao Hei has adapted it slightly. Xiao Hei still tried his best to hold Zhu Huan in his arms and wrote that in history, Zhu Huan directly killed people, and even killed those who joined the army. Zhu Huan, at best, is "ashamed of being a queen"; at worst, he is actually arrogant and domineering and doesn't take others seriously.
