Chapter 720 The Battle of Yiling
Another week passed.
In the Chibi water village, Ouyang Shuo finally waited for Zhou Yu and his party. Although the meeting was not pleasant, Ouyang Shuo was very happy and kept his promise, releasing Sun Quan back to Chaisang immediately.
Zhou Yu was also a believer, although he was loyal to the Sun family, despite ten thousand dislikes in his heart, he still obeyed Ouyang Shuo and joined Shanhai City according to the agreement.
Ouyang Shuo smiled in satisfaction, and immediately checked Zhou Yu's attributes.
[Name]: Zhou Yu (imperial class)
[Dynasty]: The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty
[Identity]: General of Shanhai City
[Occupation]: Super General
[Loyalty]: 60 points
[Commander]: 91 [Force]: 68 [Intelligence]: 85 [Politics]: 85
[Speciality]: Both water and land (increase the combat power of the navy by 20%, increase the morale of the army by 30%, increase the success rate of the strategy by 30%, and reduce the morale of the enemy by 15%)
[Evaluation]: Gongjin and Wang Zuozhi are both courageous and talented, civil and military strategists, broad-minded and elegant. When he was young, he helped the country, and Zhou Yu was the only three-pointer. A hero in the world, Jiang Zuo's romantic and beautiful husband. Qi Beidou made great achievements, and his reputation shook Soochow. The age of youth returns to the yellow soil, and when it is mentioned, it teaches people to sigh.
Because he was forced to surrender, Zhou Yu's loyalty is only 60 points, which is the lowest among the subduing generals. If it is less than sixty points, it proves that the person has a different heart.
Ouyang Shuo was not worried about this.
Returning to the main map, Zhou Yu's loyalty will naturally increase. As a reborn person, Ouyang Shuo knew very well that after the battle, Liu Bei was the only one who appeared in the wilderness among the three heroes who stood up to the Three Kingdoms.
Whether it is Sun Quan or Cao Cao, they all hide in the wilderness and are not born.
Without the shackles of the Sun clan on the main map, Ouyang Shuo has reason to believe that Zhou Yu will succumb to the background of Shanhai City and the personal charm of Ouyang Shuo, the lord.
Ouyang Shuo is not at the same level as Xunlong Dianxue and others, so they cannot be compared.
Among Zhou Yu's four-dimensional attributes, except for [Force] which is low, the other three attributes are among the top among imperial generals, especially the [Commander] attribute which broke the shackles of 90 points.
[Politics] attributes are comparable to civil servants, so Zhou Yu can be regarded as a Confucian general. Judging by its four-dimensional attributes, it is only one step away from being promoted to a god general.
Although the Three Kingdoms period had brilliant generals, but in Gaia's evaluation system, not a single god general was born. Compared with the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was also a period of war, it is not the same.
One of them is that the generals in this period were more than brave, but their military thinking was slightly insufficient.
Many generals in the Three Kingdoms were born recklessly, and some of them were not even considered poor. They had no chance to study military books at all, and could only slowly learn from the practice of war. Therefore, unlike the generals in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, they are not only good at fighting, but also the founders and practitioners of military theory.
Even Bai Qi, the God of Killing, has a higher military quality than Zhou Yu and others.
It was Cao Cao who really achieved military success during the Three Kingdoms period.
Cao Cao is proficient in the art of war, and he is familiar with the writings of previous generations of military strategists such as Sun Wu and Wu Qi. The "Sun Tzu Brief Explanation" written by Sun Tzu is the first to sort out and annotate the thirteen chapters of "Sun Tzu", which enriches and develops ancient Chinese military theory.
It's a pity that Cao Cao belongs to the master and is not included in Gaia's military commander evaluation system. Otherwise, Cao Cao is the most likely to be evaluated as a god general in the Three Kingdoms.
Under Cao Cao is Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin.
In the process of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" deifying Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu became a huge and thick stepping stone. Zhou Yu in the novel and the real Zhou Yu in history are actually a thousand miles apart.
Zhou Yu in history was suave, handsome, and versatile, far from being narrow-minded and jealous of talents as described by Luo Guanzhong.
Zhou Yu's versatility has made countless girls and young women fall in love with him. Compared with Pan An's scenery of throwing fruity carts, it is even better. Pan An is just an appearance, while Zhou Lang has both talent and appearance.
There are poems as proof: In order to win Zhou Lang's attention, he always beat the piano by mistake.
The real Zhou Yu is not only not small-minded, but also broad-minded.
Respecting his age, veteran Cheng Pu used to bully Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu never cared about it. Later, Cheng Pu finally admired him from the bottom of his heart, and said to others: "If you are friends with Zhou Gongjin, you will not feel drunk if you drink wine."
Tang and Song poets and poets all praised Zhou Yu. Su Shi praised it highly in "Niannujiao-Chibi Nostalgia": "Thinking back to the time when Gongjin was young, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, and she was majestic and heroic. Feather fans and scarves, talking and laughing, masts and sculls disappeared in ashes."
Even Liu Bei said: "Gong Jin's civil and military strategy, the hero of ten thousand people, considering his great power, may soon be the ear of the people."
It can be seen that the theory of narrow-mindedness is purely Luo Guanzhong's need to deify Zhuge Liang. Without Zhou Yu's narrow-mindedness and jealousy, how can Zhuge Liang's heroic appearance be reflected?
The most eye-catching "Zhuge Liang's three spirits of Zhou Yu" in the romance is simply nonsense.
Of course Zhou Yu was not pissed off by Zhuge Liang, and there is no trace of "Three Qi Zhou Yu" at all. After the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu was poisoned by an arrow while attacking Nanjun, and suffered an arrow injury when he traveled to Baqiu City, and died young.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang at that time were not at the same level at all, and there was no comparison. When Zhou Yu helped Sun Wu start Jiangdong, Kong Ming was still fleeing and living in seclusion. When Zhou Yu became famous in Jiangdong and became the founding father of the Sun regime, Zhuge Liang was far from making his debut.
This is not to belittle Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is indeed a great talent, but Zhuge Liang's real rise and radiance was after Zhou Yu's death.
While Zhou Yu was recovering from poisoning, he also advised Sun Quan to put Liu Bei under house arrest, and at the same time formulated a military plan to attack Yizhou. The plan has been approved by Sun Quan, and he died unfortunately before it could be implemented.
It is foreseeable that if Zhou Yu does not die early, there may be nothing wrong with the Shu Han.
...
Ouyang Shuo was familiar with history books, and praised Zhou Lang's demeanor from time to time. From this, it is not difficult to understand why Ouyang Shuo tried so hard to get Zhou Yu.
For Zhou Yu, Ouyang Shuo even gave up the great opportunity to kill Sun Quan and end the battle directly.
The post of admiral of the North Gulf Fleet was specially reserved for Zhou Yu by Ouyang Shuo.
...
After accepting Zhou Yu, Ouyang Shuo ordered the lifting of the imprisonment of Lu Su, Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and Gan Ning, and allowed them to meet Zhou Yu.
Seeing these generals again, Zhou Yu didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
In this battle, the best naval generals in Jiangdong were all taken over by Ouyang Shuo. Back on the main map, they probably won't be lonely anymore.
The Jiangdong Department will also become a force that cannot be ignored in the Shanhai City Navy.
As for the arrangement for Lu Su and others, we have to wait until we return to the main map before making a decision.
*************
After the handover was completed, the Shanhai City fleet did not stop at Chibi, but immediately headed for Yiling.
This trip to Yiling was not to aid in the battle, but to receive battle rewards. In fact, as early as four days ago, the entire battle of Chibi had ended.
Whether it was Bai Hua, Feng Prison Huang, or Di Chen and the others, they had all returned to the main map.
Shanhai City was left alone at the end.
The cause of the incident has to start with the Battle of Yiling.
After Zhou Yu led his troops to leave, there were fluctuations within the Dichen Group. Because the departure of the representative Zhou Yu not only weakened the strength of the army, but more importantly, affected the morale of the army.
The will of some lords is no longer so firm and has been shaken. Especially the lords who are not Di Chen's die-hard lords, they no longer have any expectations for victory in the battle.
For this reason, Di Chen had no choice but to speed up preparations for the siege battle.
On the same day, Dichen ordered to mobilize the army to go out to search for food and grass for the last time. At the same time, a large number of laborers and craftsmen need to be recruited in order to speed up the manufacturing progress of siege equipment.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy.
A large number of troops were sent out, and Nuo Da's barracks suddenly became empty.
That afternoon, Bai Hua and Feng Prison Huang, who had been holding back all this time, finally made their move. And once it strikes, there is no room for it, in order to give the enemy the most fatal blow at the most unlikely time.
In fact they did.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the North City Gate, which had been closed for half a month, suddenly opened. Shanhai city, Lingxi city, Luofeng city and stubborn stone city totaled more than 70,000 troops, all rushed out.
Apart from this, there are no other lords' armies.
Obviously, for this attack, Bai Hua and the others have learned the lesson of Caiyunzhinan's rebellion and used the entire [Shanhai League] army, ready to put all their eggs in one basket.
What's smarter is that Feng Prison Huang and the others did not choose to attack the Alien Legion of Sun Liu's camp in an all-round way. Instead, the target was firmly aimed at Di Chen's department.
The 20,000 troops were in charge of guarding and containing the surrounding areas, while the remaining 50,000 elite cavalry rushed into the Dichen army barracks viciously and quickly like a pack of hungry wolves.
Unprepared Di Chen's troops were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses in an instant.
Under the impact of 50,000 elite cavalry, Dichen's troops, which were less than 15,000 strong, were quickly defeated. Seeing this, the armies from all walks of life who had arrived for reinforcements had different thoughts when they got the news.
Since the main fighter, Di Chen, has withdrawn from the contention for this battle, why should they continue to entangle? !
Thinking about it this way, the expected reinforcements became "insincere" and began to pretend.
Just like that, a group of allies watched helplessly as Dichen's troops were massacred by the enemy.
Feng Prisonhuang and the others were not greedy either. After smashing Dichen's army, they immediately withdrew their troops and returned to the city, leaving behind a dilapidated barracks and Dichen's ashes.
"Insufficiency and conspiracy!"
Dichen roared in the ruins.
After this defeat, Dichen's remaining troops were less than 2,000, and he completely lost the right to speak in the coalition forces. In the Accelerated Sun Liu camp, the pro-[Shanhai League] faction lords lobbied.
The plan to attack Yiling was completely in vain.
The siege of Yiling was thus resolved.
At the same time, it was announced that the Battle of Chibi, which lasted for nearly two months, had finally come to an end.
