Chapter 264 The blue-eyed child named Wu Jun is really a Han thief!(2/2)
But that collision took place under an extremely unfair premise - Ma Di sent out eight troops and set up a dragnet.
After that battle, knowledgeable people in Jiaozhou also gave him a nickname: "Little Cunning Fox".
Ma Su was not happy with this title of boss. Why were other people's titles so lofty and lofty, either Crouching Dragon, Phoenix, or Tomb Tiger Cub? When he came to him, he became a cunning fox.
But even if he was unhappy, he couldn't stop everyone from talking.
Therefore, Ma Su eagerly hopes to stage hundreds of millions of sneak attacks again to prove how outstanding his military capabilities are, and takes this as an opportunity to ask everyone to give him a more fashionable nickname.
In fact, this plan to sneak attack Wu Jun was the product of Ma Di changing his strategy again.
At first, Ma Su wanted to take full control of Jiaozhou and hand it over to the Shu Han. Later, considering that the place was remote and the Lu family might not be willing to join the Shu Han, he changed his strategy to using Jiaozhou as a bargaining chip to drive a wedge between the Lu family and Sun Quan.
.
Things turned out just as he expected, and even Lu Xun was dragged into the water.
Therefore, Ma Di changed his plan again and decided to sneak attack the Wu army, then leave Jiaozhou and return to the front line of the Northern Expedition in Hanzhong to fight against the Wei army. He first captured the Chang'an area and occupied the entire Guanzhong.
As for Jiaozhou, Jingzhou and Soochow, it was left to the Lu family and Sun Quan to fight within themselves.
Of course, before implementing this strategy, Lu Xun must be killed to deepen the hatred between the Lu family and Sun Quan.
Ma Su didn't think that Lu Xun, who was so desperate that he was running for his life alone, could resist his plot.
…
The Wu State's attack on the Wuling barbarians this time was astonishing. Since Sun Quan took over Soochow, the Wu State has never sent so many troops to attack a barbarian tribe. You must know that during the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei faced one hundred thousand soldiers.
In the large army, Lu Xun only led 50,000 troops.
In this crusade against the Wuling barbarians, Pan Jun led a total of 50,000 elite troops, almost a quarter of Wu's troops.
Such a large-scale military operation shows that Sun Quan hated the Wuxi barbarians.
In fact, the relationship between the two parties has always been quite acrimonious. However, Sun Quan was still able to maintain restraint against the Wuxi Barbarians at the beginning. Since the Wuxi Barbarians fully responded to Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition, the relationship between the two parties has taken a turn for the worse and they have become mortal enemies.
Sun Quan had long wanted to completely wipe out the Wuling Barbarians, the most powerful among the Wuxi Barbarians. However, after Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition, Cao Pi followed up with three full-scale expeditions against Wu. After Cao Rui ascended the throne, there were three more large-scale expeditions against Wu. In the past ten years,
, Sun Quan has never been able to spare his hands to deal with Wu Lingman.
It wasn't until last year that Shu and Wei fought fiercely in Liangzhou, Longyou, and Guanzhong, and Sun Quan finally had an opportunity.
Therefore, Sun Quan immediately sent 50,000 troops to Jiangling and sent Pan Jun to deal with the Wuling barbarians who were getting more and more cheerful and had already ceded territory and became king.
Pan Jun commanded the Dongwu army to gather in the upper reaches of Wu River and divided the troops into four groups. He surrounded hundreds of thousands of Wuling barbarians in a mountain range with a radius of 200 miles. He advanced layer by layer and gradually narrowed the encirclement, trying to force the Wuling barbarians to confront the Wu army.
Fight head-on, and then win the battle, completely pacifying this place.
Pan Jun personally led a large army with about 35,000 men in the north; the other generals each led 5,000 men and were divided into three directions: east, south and west.
Ma Su is currently planning to attack Wu's army in the west, led by Pan Zhu, Pan Jun's son.
While thinking, the army marched to the southern section of the Xiang River and headed north along the east bank.
Suddenly, a small boat came at high speed from the north and was accidentally overturned by a whirlpool that suddenly appeared in the water.
An old man on the boat accidentally fell into the water and struggled to the shore shouting for help.
Since the military order was with them, all the soldiers heard it and turned a blind eye.
The four major generals looked at each other and continued to walk and talk and laugh as before.
Ma Su glanced at the old man and was hesitating whether to stop and rescue him.
