It was the third day of the sixth lunar month in the AD year.

Wuchang City, Palace of the Prince of Chu.

This is the third day after Zhu Heji arrived in Wuchang, and it was also the first day that Zhu Heji took over the military affairs on the front line of Huguang...

The Marching Division Mansion and Attendant Office that followed him on this expedition have all been stationed in the King Chu Mansion in Wuchang and have begun to operate normally, becoming the command center of more than 300,000 troops on the Huguang front.

Zhuge Sanhe, the governor of Jiangxi who was previously responsible for training and reorganizing the 300,000 troops, and commanding them to capture Wuchang, Hanyang, Huangzhou, Changsha and other places, was transferred to the governor of Huguang. His Huguang Governor's Yamen was also appointed on the first day of June.

Stationed in Wuchang.

The position of governor of Jiangxi Province vacated by Zhuge Sanhe was taken over by Guo Youde. Guo Youde was also responsible for the logistics and transportation of more than 300,000 troops on the Huguang front line.

Fang Guangchen, who had been betrayed by his nine nephews, was appointed by Zhu Heji as the governor of Huguang, responsible for the civil affairs of the recovered areas of Huguang. This appointment was proposed by Zhuge Sanhe, who, as the great governor, wanted to replace Zhuge Liang.

Heji made plans and sometimes had to supervise the army on expeditions, so he could not spare any energy to manage the civil affairs of Huguang.

Fang Guangchen had presided over Hubei's land-equalizing military system before and did a pretty good job. Although it did not touch the interests of Hubei's landlord class too much, he organized 300,000 to 400,000 landless farmers to settle in Sichuan within three years.

The vast majority of people arrived safely and settled down relatively smoothly in places such as Kuizhou Prefecture, Zhongzhou Prefecture and Chongqing Prefecture in Sichuan. This ability is worthy of recognition.

So Zhu Heji readily approved Zhuge Sanhe's request and asked Fang Guangchen to stabilize the civil affairs stall in Huguang.

As for Wu and Zhou officials from all over Huguang, as long as they are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they will all be retained in their original posts... Although Wu Yingxiong has betrayed the anti-Qing cause and embarked on the path of no return by betraying the Han Dynasty in pursuit of glory, his officials only need to

If you are willing to do anything, then you are still a good man who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty!

After some comfort and rectification, Zhu Heji could finally calm down and listen to Zhuge's military advisor who knew the battle of Red Cliff best about "Red Cliff".

Zhuge Military Advisor said that the location of "Red Cliff" was in the Chengyun Hall of the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Senior officials from the Marching Division's Mansion and Attendant's Office, as well as Hubei Admiral Zhuge Zhengyang, Yangtze Navy Admiral Liu Guoxuan and other generals also came together.

Listen to the "storytelling" - this is Zhuge Military Advisor personally "talking about the Three Kingdoms". You can't usually hear it in the bookstore, so everyone who can come comes here.

Since it was "listening to books", there was no need to be too formal, so Zhu Heji had people place chairs and coffee tables in the Chengyun Hall, and also had tea prepared.

Zhuge Sanhe also put on a feather fan, a silk scarf, and a Taoist robe. If his face wasn't a little darker, his eyes were a little smaller, and he was a little pudgy, he would still have the feeling that Zhuge was still alive.

However, although Zhuge Sanhe doesn't look much like Zhuge Liang, he seems to have really obtained some true biography of Zhuge... Otherwise, how could he have gotten to his current position? And as soon as he opened his mouth today, he put forward a question for everyone

A question that dazzles everyone.

"Everyone, tell me, who does Prime Minister Cao really want to fight in the Battle of Chibi?"

interesting!

Zhu Heji also waved a fan and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, please don't show off. Tell me... Prime Minister Cao leads so many soldiers and travels so far. Who do you want to fight?"

"Your Majesty asked me to say it, then I will say it." Zhuge Sanhe shook his goose feather fan with a proud look on his face and said: "By the way, Prime Minister Cao was so proud before the battle of Chibi! The world was about to be destroyed.

He has unified. Looking around, the only one who can compete with him is Jiangdong Sun Quan!

At that time, Liu Bei had been beaten to the last breath, and his territory was only one county in Jiangxia, which is now Wuchang Prefecture. There was no need for Cao Cao to send so many troops to attack.

So Cao Cao's goal is actually Sun Quan! He wants to attack Liu Bei, who is only alive, to make Sun Quan feel like he is dying, so as to attract Sun Quan to send the main force from Jiangdong to fight in Jingzhou, in order to complete his victory in one battle.

Historically, Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei in September of the 13th year of Jian'an and captured Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places. He also got the support of some Jingzhou nobles headed by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, and incorporated the Jingzhou Navy. If he wanted to eat

There was no need to wait until December of the 13th year of Jian'an to get rid of Liu Bei, who fled to Jiangxia... In October and November, it was impossible for Liu Bei to support Sun Quan's army to come to his aid.

Moreover, the so-called natural chasm of the Yangtze River is just a mile or two wide of water. The river is right outside Jiangling City. Will Cao Cao, who has the Jingzhou Navy, have trouble getting through? So the Battle of Chibi was basically a trap set by Cao Cao for Sun Quan. Sun Quan fell into the trap, and Cao Cao's

The army will be dispatched!

And Sun Quan and Zhou Yu did fall into Cao Gong's plan and dragged all the capital from Jiangdong to Jiangxia... This is an expedition with a large number of troops to attack the enemy with a small number, which is really a taboo for military strategists!"

"That's not right!" Zhu Heji became more and more strange the more he listened, "Military advisor, according to your statement, it was Cao Cao who should have won the Battle of Chibi."

Zhuge Sanhe shook his feather fan, nodded and said: "That's right... Cao Cao should win the Battle of Chibi, and everything was under Cao Cao's plan. Son Quan, who is Prime Minister Cao's opponent?"

"Then in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms we watched, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu won!"

Zhuge Sanhe smiled and said: "That's because my ancestor Zhuge Kongming helped Sun Liu's coalition! Without my ancestor, there would be no three points... In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, the world was surrendered to Cao Cao

Unified!"

Zhu Heji thought to himself: "Then there would be no three families who returned to the Jin Dynasty, let alone the Five Husbands who later destroyed China? It turns out that the culprit is your ancestor Zhuge Liang!"

Zhuge Sanhe didn't know that Zhu Heji had a bad opinion of Zhuge Liang, but he was still making suggestions for the Grand Duke wholeheartedly!

He waved his fan and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation in the Battle of Huguang is somewhat similar to the situation in the 13th year of Jian'an. At that time, the wealth of the world and the population were concentrated in the Central Plains. Whoever wins the Central Plains will win the world! But now the wealth of the world

, the population is in the southeast, and there is also the benefit of sugar in the southeast, so if you conquer the southeast, you can conquer the world. Therefore, the former Cao Gong is the Holy Lord today! I suggest that the Holy Lord use Cao Gong's plan to lead the Qing demon Kangxi's troops southward to Jingxiang.

Gather together and annihilate them!"

Zhu Heji thought to himself: "Zhuge Liang will use Cao Cao's plan in the future...Did this person get the wrong script? But his analysis still makes sense!"

"Military advisor," Zhu Heji asked again, "please tell me, how can I learn from Duke Cao?"

Zhuge Sanhe smiled and said: "The first step is of course to attack Chibi Mountain at Luxikou in Puqi County! To the west of Chibi Mountain in Puqi County is Linxiang County in Yuezhou Prefecture. The Yuezhou defense line deployed by Wu Sangui starts from Linxiang

It started. We stationed troops in Chibi, and we happened to be facing off against the Zhou troops in Yuezhou."

Zhu Heji nodded and asked, "What next?"

"Then just wait!" Zhuge Sanhe said, "Back then, Liu Bei was waiting for Sun Quan's troops in Jiangxia and he couldn't help but wait. Why wasn't Cao Cao waiting for Sun Quan to send troops in Jiangling?

I estimate that Kangxi will not send troops in vain, and he will ask Wu Yingxiong for Xiangyang as a place to garrison. Wu Yingxiong is eager for help, so he can only hand over Xiangyang to Kangxi. As long as Kangxi's army marches into Xiangyang, our opportunity will come!"

"What opportunity?" Zhu Heji asked.

Zhuge Sanhe shook his feather fan and said proudly: "Of course this is an opportunity to surround Xiangyang and trap Kangxi! As long as we can surround tens of thousands of Kangxi's elite soldiers in Xiangyang, we are not afraid that Kangxi will not send out heavy troops to relieve the siege. This Xiangyang can be

It has become the Jinzhou City of the past... As long as we can win a big victory like the Battle of Songjin, Qingyao's Guozuo will soon come to an end!"

I have to say that Zhuge's military advisor's mind jumped really fast. One moment it was Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, and the next moment it became the Battle of Songjin!

However, his plan still made Zhu Heji feel enlightened!
Chapter completed!
