Chapter 2903 The naval battle between the four countries in the East China Sea, Zhou Yu VS Zhu Di

Chapter 2899: Naval battle between the four countries in the East China Sea, Zhou Yu VS Zhu Di

 Perform a full set of plays.

After Zhu Di made all preparations, he personally led five thousand elites, as well as generals such as Chang Yuchun and Xiang Zhuang, and went straight to Ganyu to "quell the rebellion."

 On the other side, Shandong Peninsula, Donglai County, Qingdao County, Qingdao Port, and the Qin Army Navy Camp.

 After receiving the news, Zhou Yu immediately summoned his generals to discuss whether to send troops to Ganyu and capture Zhu Di alive.

 Qingdao County, formerly Donglai County, was not a county. Although it was only a county, it covered the entire Jiaozhou Bay in later generations.

Because the county is the closest city to Zhu Ming, and the Jiaozhou Bay area within its territory has a unique geographical environment, it can advance, attack, retreat and defend, making it a natural harbor.

In order to meet the needs of the war, Daqin made preparations for the Central Plains War in advance, so it specially built a new seaport in the Buqi Bay area, and Ying Hao named the new seaport 'Qingdao Port'.

Qingdao Port took one year to build and another year to expand. It not only took over half of the functions of Beihai Port, but also became the second largest port in Qingzhou after Beihai Port in terms of scale.

In addition, Zhou Yu also built a large number of defense facilities in Qingdao Port, turning the Qingdao Port, which was originally only for commercial use, into a war fortress integrating offense and defense, and a port satellite city.

As the port of Qingdao became more prosperous and the population increased, it exceeded the jurisdiction of Buqi County, so Ying Hao directly rebelled against Tiangang with a wave of his hand and renamed Buqi County Qingdao County, and the administrative center was also moved to Qingdao port.

 After the start of the Sixth Central Plains War, Qingdao Port became Zhou Yu's navy base camp because it was the closest to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Yu used this as a central stronghold to continuously attack, and went south to harass dozens of cities along the coast of Langya, Donghai, and Guangling, causing great losses to Zhu Ming's coalition forces, and therefore forced Zhu Di to fight with them.

Zhou Yu had always had a plan before the war, which was to force the navies of the Wei, Song and Ming Dynasties to fight, then lead the navies of the Three Kingdoms to Qingdao Bay, and then rely on the defenses of Qingdao Bay to annihilate them at the minimum cost.

 Zhou Yu’s plan is very good, but his opponent Zhu Di is not a fool. If he falls into the trap, Fan Zeng and Yao Guangxiao will also fall into the trap. This is several times more difficult than directly defeating the Three Kingdoms Navy.

As a last resort, Zhou Yu had no choice but to give up this one-step plan and instead adopt a safe approach. He went south to harass the Jianghuai coastal areas and continued to bleed Zhu Ming's coalition forces until he received news that Feng Guoyong had rebelled and Zhu Di personally led the army to put down the rebellion. .

Zhou Yu is a high-ranking and intelligent commander. Faced with the sudden flaw in the Ming army, he would naturally not be suspicious.

But it is precisely because Zhou Yu is so smart that he can think of everything he can and cannot think of, so it is easy for him to get into trouble.

As for Zhu Di's personal trip to Ganyu to quell the rebellion, you might say it was a trap. However, the surrounding area of ​​Ganyu was so wide that there was no way to hide the troops. If the surrounding reinforcements wanted to support them, it would take four days at the fastest, even if it was water. The army also needs two days.

By this time, Zhou Yu had long since captured Zhu Di alive. Even if he couldn't use the speed of the Qin navy, he could escape at any time. So if Zhu Di really used his body as bait, wouldn't the risk be too great?

 The benefits and risks are not proportional.

 But if you want to say that there is no problem, this incident is too coincidental.

Feng Guoyong's father-in-law was killed due to corruption, which aroused Zhu Di's anger, which caused Feng Guoyong to rebel. In order to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, Zhu Di only led a few elites and rushed to Ganyu as quickly as possible to put down the rebellion. This is logically It makes sense.

Zhu Ming's defenders in the coastal areas need to guard against Zhou Yu's naval forces. The mobile troops that Zhu Di can mobilize are not many. And with Zhu Di's prestige, if he personally suppresses the rebellion and acts fast enough, he might be able to A soldier who defeats others in battle.

 So, Zhu Di only led an army of 5,000 people and personally led an army to quell the rebellion. These were actually reasonable actions.

 But actions that seem reasonable individually are also reasonable together. This seems a bit deliberate. Although it is logical, who would follow normal thinking in a war?

 So every time he thought about this, even Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel entangled. He was worried that this would be Zhu Di's trap, but he also didn't want to miss such a great opportunity.

It’s not that he hasn’t thought about taking advantage of his plan, but he can’t see what Zhu Di’s trap is, so how can he take advantage of it?

Zhou Yu was naturally not the only one who was troubled, but also Qi Jiguang and Li Shunchen. They also saw the problem, but Zhou Yu couldn't see through Zhu Di's intention, and they naturally couldn't see it either.

After some discussion, the three of them finally refused to give up this golden opportunity. After all, if Zhu Di could be captured directly, the Qingnan War would not have to be fought again.

So, whether this is Zhu Di's trap or not, at least it is beneficial to the Qin army for now. Even if Zhu Di has other tricks, the worst he can do is to use them as soon as he sees them.

Since the bait was so tempting, even though he knew there might be a hook in it, Zhou Yu, who was a skillful and brave person, decided to lick it first to taste the saltiness.

Therefore, an hour after receiving the news, Zhou Yu made a decisive decision to personally lead 75,000 naval troops, as well as generals such as Qi Jiguang, Li Shunchen, Jiao Mogou, Ao Shen, Cai Mao, Yan Rou, Ma Gui, and Zhan Ru. Sent troops to Ganyu and asked Han Shizhong to lead 5,000 naval troops to stay at Qingdao Port.

When Zhou Yu's navy crossed the Langya Sea and was about to enter the East China Sea, Zhu Di's reaction to his sending troops was also recorded.

Zhou Yu's navy is almost reaching the East China Sea. With so many people and so many ships, it is impossible for the Ming army sentries to miss them as long as they are not blind, so Zhu Di must also know that Zhou Yu is coming for him.

In response to this, Zhu Di would only have two reactions. One is to withdraw his troops and stop suppressing the rebellion to protect himself. The other is to solve the rebellion before Zhou Yu arrives, then concentrate on defending the city and summon reinforcements from all directions to serve the king.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Di would definitely choose the former. After all, although Ganyu is important, it cannot be more important than his life. However, Ganyu is just his bait to lure Zhou Yu, so what he shows to Zhou Yu is naturally the latter.

Zhu Di's radical behavior, in the eyes of Zhou Yu and others, became a confident move that would surely put down the rebellion. They then accelerated their march and strived to reach Ganyu as soon as possible.

 When Zhou Yu's army arrived at Ganyu, Zhu Di had already invaded Ganyu City, but Feng Guoyong's troops had not been completely wiped out and still resisted tenaciously in the city.

Facing the envoy sent by Feng Guoyong to ask for help, Zhou Yu sneered in his heart, but on the outside he asked with concern: "Zhu Di's anti-rebellion army only has five thousand, and Feng Guoyong has three thousand defenders, how come they were defeated so quickly?" Has Zhu Di invaded the city? "

Zhu Wujue, the great master who pretended to be an envoy, quickly replied after hearing this: "To inform the governor, there is a traitor under my general. He opened the city gate and let Zhu Di into the city."

Zhu Wujue is a character in "Sword Qi Qian Qi Qian Huan Lu", nicknamed: Plague Demon Lord, known as the most strange person in the world. In addition, in Gu Long's novel "Hua Ling", there is also "Plague Demon" on the "Temple Gods" in the holy land of martial arts. The position of the Demon King Zhu Wujue"  Zhu Wujue is a hidden figure in the Hundred Calls of Martial Arts. He has the early cultivation level of a great master. After he was born, he was implanted in the Ming Dynasty. He became Zhu Di's right-hand man and the commander of the factory guards. He helped Zhu Di solve various problems. Less hassle.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded and said: "I see, how long can Feng Guoyong last?"

“Grand Governor, go and provide support quickly. It will take an hour at most. If it is too late, my general will not be able to hold on any longer, and Ganyu will fall into Zhu Di’s hands again.”

“Okay, go back and tell your general that the governor’s reinforcements will arrive soon and ask him to hold on.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Looking at Zhu Wujue's leaving back, Zhou Yu showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then asked Jiao Mo beside him: "General Jiao, can you find out whether this person is hiding his cultivation level?"

Jiao Mochang shook his head and said: "Only first-class cultivation can be detected, and nothing else can be found. Either his realm is higher than mine, or he really only has first-class cultivation."

Zhou Yu nodded, already knowing something in his mind, and then ordered: "I will personally lead 30,000 troops to land in Ganyu. Qi Jiguang, you lead the remaining army to stay at sea. Once you receive the order from this governor, we will provide support at any time." ”

 “Nuo.” Qi Jiguang took the order.

Ganyu was originally a coastal city, and the county seat was only twenty miles away from the sea. Standing on the city tower, holding a telescope, Zhu Di could see Zhou Yu's navy on the sea level.

Seeing that not all of Zhou Yu's troops came ashore, but some of them went ashore and some remained at sea, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly showed disappointment and he murmured to himself: "Sure enough, you still can't deceive Zhou Yu?"

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Zhu Di and reported: "Lord, our navy has set off and is expected to arrive in Ganyu in one day."

 The person who came was none other than Zhu Wujue, the great master of the Ming Dynasty.

 Zhu Di had absolute trust in Zhu Wujue. After hearing this, he said: "Okay, although Zhou Yu has entered the game, he has not taken the bait yet. Whether you can catch this big fish depends on your factory guards."

 “I will definitely live up to my lord’s trust.”

Ganyu City is only twenty miles away from the seaside. After Zhou Yu led 30,000 troops to land, he quickly arrived at the city.

As soon as Kecai approached the city and before they even entered the city, a defeated army of nearly a thousand people escaped from the city under the banner of Feng Guoyong and came to seek refuge. The leader was none other than Zhu Wujue.

 “Don’t fire your arrows, I am General Feng’s envoy.”

Looking at Zhu Wujue at the front of the crowd, Zhou Yu showed a sneer on his lips, and then coldly ordered: "Fire the arrows, leaving no one behind."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Zhu Wujue had met Zhou Yu before, and when he saw that he didn't find anything, he thought he would meet him again this time, and he could take the opportunity to capture Zhou Yu, so as to force Qi Jiguang to lead his army ashore at sea.

The navy of the Qin army is indeed powerful. Even the naval forces of the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming combined cannot compare with it. But once they get ashore, they will be like a toothless tiger and there is no need to worry about it.

What Zhu Wujue didn't expect was that Zhou Yu, who was usually very talkative, didn't even see him this time. He ordered arrows to be fired as soon as he came up, without giving him any chance to take action.

Under the Qin army's arrow rain offensive, only a few rounds of shots were fired, and all the thousand surrender troops who came to seek refuge were shot to death, leaving Zhu Wujue alone to escape in embarrassment.

 “Lord, my subordinate failed.”

Zhu Wujue knelt down on one knee and apologized with a face of shame.

Zhu Di had actually expected this. If Zhou Yu fell into the trap so easily, he would not have been forced to be so miserable before.

"It's not your fault, it's because Zhou Yu is too cunning. He has already guessed that this is a trap, so how could he easily fall for it?"

After saying this, Zhu Di looked at his generals and ordered: "Send an order to the whole army to go out of the city and fight Zhou Yu."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Chang Yuchun and Xiangzhuang generals changed drastically.

Chang Yuchun was the first to stand up and dissuade him: "My lord, Zhou Yu's landing army is 30,000, and the 40,000 naval troops at sea can land at any time, but our army is only 8,000, and one thousand of them have been annihilated. Well, how can these 7,000 people be Zhou Yu’s opponent?”

Xiang Zhuang also advised: "Yes, my lord, Zhou Yu is a disciple of Bai Qi. He has never suffered a defeat since he led the army. We'd better be cautious. Our army can defend the city. We can only wait until the navy arrives. Only our army has the capital to compete with them.”

Hearing what the generals said, Zhu Di said with disdain: "Secure the city? If we can really defeat Zhou Yu by dragging him, it would be easy. I am afraid that the army will come and Zhou Yu will run away."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

Even though Zhou Yu has already taken the bait, the initiative is still on his side. After all, if he wants to withdraw now, the Ming army with only 7,000 troops will not be able to stop him.

 If Zhou Yu runs away at this juncture, then all the previous arrangements will be meaningless.
