Chapter 470: The Gift
Dong Xi set up the military formation early.
Just waiting for Sun Quan's army over there.
This is a smooth road that is very suitable for building a military port, but there is no such thing as a great voyage in this era, so this is just a deserted place.
However, it does not prevent landing.
Soon, Sun Quan's soldiers and horses were sent down from the warships one after another.
Sun Quan's soldiers and horses were actually very tired after a long journey, and the bumps on the sea were actually very tired, and now they had to get off the warship and go to the shore to fight.
However, Dong Raid's soldiers and horses over there were waiting for work, so at the beginning, Dong Raid took advantage, and the Huainan Navy, which had more than 2,000 troops, was basically pressing Sun Quan's soldiers and horses by relying on the military formation.
"Hugh wants to panic, Hugh wants to panic, the enemy general is famous, Jiangdong Jiang Qin is here!" Fortunately, Jiang Qin killed the past in time, which stabilized the situation.
"Huainan Dong attack!" Dong attacked himself to protect his home, and soon the two sides fought together.
"Zhou Tai, you go too!" Sun Quan said to another tiger general beside him, this Zhou Tai has always stayed by Sun Quan's side, since Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan has paid more attention to his own protection, and Zhou Tai is equivalent to Cao Cao's side Dian Wei Xu Chu.
But now, in order to tear apart these military formations, Zhou Tai is going to be sent out.
With Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the Jiangdong army also slowly stabilized the situation, and Dong Xi waited for work, but he only had 2,000 people.
So soon, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin began to break through the defense line.
"If 3,000 people are not enough, there will be 5,000 people, and if 5,000 people are not enough, 10,000 people!" Sun Quan spoke harshly on the warship.
He wants to get that batch of grain and grass, and only when he gets that batch of grain and grass can Sun Quan sit on what he wants to do.
If you don't get anything from this expedition, it will really be a waste of an opportunity, and it will accelerate the offense of Yuan Yao.
And if you want to get that batch of grain and grass, even if you offend Yuan Yao and Sun Quan, you are not afraid.
There are more and more soldiers and horses, and the entire beach is almost full of soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong Army.
Some soldiers and horses even crossed Dong Xi's military formation, and directly interspersed with the convoy carrying grain over there.
After cutting down a few people who helped the Huainan Army transport grain and grass, there were bursts of screams, because those frames were full of white grain.
Sun Quan got the news and became more and more excited, "Yes, chase me, it's only been a few days, and they haven't been able to transport the grain and grass away, it must be around here!" Sun Quan didn't know why Yuan Yaojun was able to deliver the grain to the shore earlier.
If these grains are still on the sea boat, then Sun Quan is really a pot.
As for Chen Si, Sun Quan has not yet suspected Chen Si.
Because Chen Si and Yuan Yao still have a grudge, Chen Si was a cheap dad who cheated Yuan Yao a lot, and it can even be said that Yuan Shu's defeat, Chen Si made a great effort.
Naturally, Lao Cao abandoned Chen Si, and Chen Si needed to find a new backer, so it could only be selected by Jingzhou and Jiangdong.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou is too defensive of the city, and the only thing left is Sun Quan.
In addition, it was indeed Chen Si who told Sun Quan the whereabouts of the sea ship transporting grain, so Sun Quan was even less suspicious.
"Raise the command flag, we retreat!" Dong Xi looked at the sun in the sky and counted the hours, he knew that even if he had two thousand people in it, he would not be able to fight five with one, not to mention that there were even more people.
Dong Xi's soldiers and horses retreated while fighting.
Sun Quan's army also slowly figured out the "virtual reality" of Dong Raid.
"Lord, this Huainan army has only 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest are all Guangling people!"
"The people of Guangling?" Sun Quan didn't doubt it, but Lu Meng over there frowned, "Where did these Guangling people come from?" "Isn't it strange that the people of Guangling helped the Huainan army to drop goods?
"It is said that someone invited me with a lot of money!"
"Paid for?" Lu Meng was puzzled for a few words and did not speak.
"And my lord, we found those piles of grain and grass over there!"
Sun Quan guessed correctly, Yuan Yao's Huainan army had so much grain and grass, not 4,000 stones, not 40,000 stones, but a full 400,000 stones, so it was impossible to transport them away at once for a while.
He could only be carried out of the ship first, left the warship, and hid in a place, and now Sun Quan's men had found such a place.
"Haha! After all, these grains still can't escape the hands of my Jiangdong soldiers and horses! Sun Quan laughed.
"Send the order, let all the people get off the warship, take that place, and I will take all the food that is left behind!"
……
Outside Guangling County, Gan Ning took Sheyang, and after Jiangdu counted the county seats, he waited to conquer Guangling County, so as to take the entire Guangling County.
However, when I arrived outside Guangling County, I found that the gates of the entire county town were open.
Gan Ning hesitated, could there be fraud in this?
Gan Ning sent a scout all the way to investigate, but the news that the investigation came back made people stunned for a moment.
"You said that all the defenders of Guangling in the city have surrendered?" Gan Ning asked.
"Exactly, none of the soldiers and horses in the city are holding sharp blades, and they all fall to their knees, waiting to surrender!"
Gan Ning inquired several times with the same news, and even the last time, an old man walked out of the city.
"Guangling Chen Si?" Gan Ning is not an uneducated martial artist, on the contrary, he has read a lot of books, this Chen Si is a famous man of the Jianghuai generation, Gan Ning has also visited, how can he not recognize it.
Chen Si, isn't this the leader of Guangling County? How did he get out of town?
I saw that Chen Si was holding a trumpet in his crooked hand, fighting for two times without fighting, and the battle flag of Guangling's Cao Army slowly fell above the city.
Isn't it the surrender of this Guangling town?
"The criminal minister Chen Si fell Guangling, and the civil and military officials have seen Wang Shi!" Chen Si bowed half-bowed to Gan Ning over there.
Even Chen Si has come out, and this time it must be wrong.
Gan Ning accepted Chen Si's surrender, but he did not transfer his troops and horses into the city, but directly returned his horse gun and hurried away in another direction.
Because of what Chen Si said, in that direction, Chen Si had another gift to give to Gan Ning and Yuan Yao.
……
Looking through the information sent from the front, as well as the person sent by Gan Ning, Yuan Yao didn't expect it, he just wanted an outlet to the sea in Guangling, but he didn't expect to get so much in the end.
The first is Guangling City, after having Guangling City, it will be much more convenient for him Yuan Yao to go to sea in the future, and he doesn't need to go through the boundary of Jiangdong anymore.
This second is that Yuan Yao received a total of 100,000 stones of grain and grass donated by the scholars of Guangling from Guangling, as well as countless gold and silver.
This third is an unexpected joy, Sun Xiaoquan and Sun Biyan were beaten violently by Gan Ning, and more than 10,000 elite sailors of the Jiangdong Army did not die on the Yangtze River, but were sent ashore to the cavalry to play to death.
This Sun Quan Sun Xiaobi was confused by so much grain and grass, and he fell too deep with the naval army under his hands, waiting for Gan Ning to arrive with his cavalry, Sun Quan was still over there preparing to arrange for his men to transport grain on the ship.
The ships that were sent on were naturally those sea ships.
The feeling is equivalent to Chen Deng and others letting the people of Guangling send these grains and grasses down from the ship, and Sun Quan loaded them back for him.
But this transportation of 400,000 grains and grass is not a trivial matter.
The entire Sun Quan army was about to get tired, and Sun Quan was about to have a bumper harvest.
Gan Ning's soldiers and horses arrived.
The 5,000 cavalry battalion against the 15,000 Jiangdong naval army, or on the land, or on the open beach, or under the exhaustion of the 15,000 naval army, there is no need to say what the final outcome is.
Sun Quan still wanted to struggle and leave with the already loaded sea boat.
It's a pity that he was blocked in the middle of the road by the water army of Guangling County, but fortunately, there were not many water troops in Guangling County, which allowed Sun Quan to get back Jiangdong under the desperate protection of the Jiangdong army.
Sun Quan's life was saved, but the 15,000 elites of the Jiangdong Navy were completely lost in Guangling County.
Yuan Yao knew that Sun Xiaoquan's face must have been very exciting after knowing the news.
And all this is caused by the father and son in front of me.
"You're Chen Deng?" Yuan Yao asked the man in front of him, who was much older than him Yuan Yao,
"Guangling Chen Deng has seen General Yuan Yao!" Chen Deng didn't lose his manners, and bowed to Yuan Yao.
"Excuse me!" Yuan Yao waved his hand: "Someone is here, take a seat for Mr. Chen Deng!" ”
Chen Deng was nearly ten years older than Yuan Yao, and in the original image, Yuan Yao and Chen Deng played together when they were children, but later they were separated when they took refuge in the troubled world.
"Where's Mr. Chen?" Yuan Yao asked Chen Deng.
Chen Deng glanced at Yuan Yao and said, "My father is too old to travel far away, and he is still in the carriage behind!" "Chen Deng came quickly, and Chen Si was too old to withstand the bumps of the journey, so he could only wait for the carriage.
"This is going to be a trouble for Mr. Chen!" Yuan Yao nodded.
For Chen Deng, Yuan Yao still admires Chen Deng, who had the ambition to help the world and help the people when he was a teenager. Well-read, humanistic and elegant, with literary temperament, old books and articles can be integrated. At the age of twenty-five, he was elected as filial piety and served as the magistrate of Dongyang County, raising the elderly, raising orphans, and treating the people as children.
"What are your plans for the future?" Yuan Yao asked Chen Deng.
"Wait for the handover with General Yuan Yao to be completed, Guangling will retire to the mountains and forests, and be a leisurely gentleman!" Chen Deng said. After all, the Chen family had pit the Yuan family before, and now the situation is stronger than others, Chen Deng can only show weakness,
But unexpectedly, Yuan Yao shook his head, "Wouldn't it be a pity if you returned to the mountains and forests!" ”
Chen Deng looked at Yuan Yao and didn't know what Yuan Yao meant.
"Guangling County is very important to me, and there is no room for mistakes!" Yuan Yao's eyes shimmered.
Listening to Yuan Yao's words, Chen Deng's face darkened twice, and he also nodded: "General Yuan Yao, rest assured, the Chen family has begun to relocate, and it will definitely leave Guangling for as little as half a month, or more than a month!" ”
Guangling County can be regarded as the hometown of the Chen family, but now it is how comfortable it is to be forced to leave their hometown.
"You and I are friends in the world, when we go around and exchange more, Shouchun is newly built, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and we need a high-ranking family like the Chen family to guide the people to be good." Chen Deng thought that Yuan Yao would divide the Chen family into some remote place in the countryside, who would have thought that Yuan Yao would ask them to go to Shouchun, which is the political and cultural center of Huainan.
However, Chen Deng was not grateful to Yuan Yao, because in his opinion, this was probably Yuan Yao's surveillance action.
"Shouchun?"
"As long as there is no one in the city, you can choose, you only need to instruct the officials of Shouchun, and they will definitely build a mansion for the Chen family." Yuan Yao continued.
"The old gentleman is old, so naturally stay in the mansion to recuperate, it just so happens that I also have a lot of government affairs and I want to ask Mr. Chen Si for advice! As for Brother Chen Deng, you? Yuan Yao hesitated for a moment: "If I really retreat to the mountains and forests, wouldn't it make people say that I, Yuan Yao, have no heart to know talents?" ”
"I Huainan is in ruins, I need a talent like Mr. Chen Deng, and I want to ask Brother Chen Deng to help me!"
"Don't dare! Can't! Chen Deng didn't dare to shout. His eyes revealed his curiosity, and he wanted to know where this Yuan Yao would put himself.
"Minister of Agriculture!" Yuan Yao said an official position, but Chen Deng was stunned.
Minister of Agriculture, what kind of thing is this? He Chen Deng has heard of Taishou, Assassin Shi Zhou Mu, school captain, all kinds of generals, and really haven't heard of this big man and the official position of the Minister of Agriculture? ”
This can't be Yuan Yao deceiving himself, right? Or is it a position?
The officials of the ancients were two nouns, officials and officials were separated, one was organized and the other was unorganized.
"The Ministry of Agriculture created for me Huainan!" Yuan Yao explained to Chen Deng,
Only then did Chen Deng understand why he didn't know what this official position was for.
"The Ministry of Agriculture, as the name suggests, is farming, and everything is for the field!" Yuan Yao explained to Chen Deng.
"Farming?" Chen Deng frowned.
"Mr. Chen Deng, don't underestimate this official position,
"Mr. Chen Deng, you see, don't the people of this world come and go just to eat a bite? And where does the food come from? You can only find it in the right place! "Building water conservancy, soothing rivers, irrigating fertile land, clearing land for sowing, and even preventing disasters are all things that the Ministry of Agriculture has to do.
Chen Deng was not a stupid person, and he quickly understood what kind of subordinate Yuan Yao wanted.
To put it simply, it is a wet nurse who supplies nutrients to Huainan.
It's just that in other places, these things are in charge of the top officials, because after all, it involves the problem of eating, drinking, and lazing.
"I am afraid that I am not knowledgeable enough to succeed!" Chen Deng is still cautious.
But Yuan Yao over there couldn't wait, he had a lot of strategists in his hands, but there were not many who knew about agriculture, whether it was Xu Shu Liu Ye or Tian Feng, they didn't know much about it, it was Xu Shu who was a poor man, but he was not familiar with the layout of large-scale farmland, so Yuan Yao could only find someone to replace him.
"Why should Mr. Chen Deng be modest, I remember when Tao Qian of Xuzhou was in power, what happened in Xuzhou, Tao Qian, who was the pastor of Xuzhou at the time, once invited Mr. Chen Deng to serve as the captain of the agricultural school, properly plant grains, and reduce famine. Mr. Chen Deng, you have done a very good job! Yuan Yao said to Chen Deng.
"Captain Diannon?" Chen Deng didn't know that Yuan Yao had inquired about himself so carefully, and even the captain of the agricultural school knew about it.
"If you can't succeed you, where else will I find such a person!" Yuan Yao looked at Chen Deng with a smile.
Chen Deng looked at Yuan Yao's sincerity and was about to agree, but he said a condition to Yuan Yao: "General Yuan Yao, if you want to serve the general, it is not impossible, but Deng has a request, and please ask the general to agree!" ”
"A request? Don't say one, ten, I promise you! Yuan Yao's face was full of joy, this is about to find a professional nurse, can you not be happy? With Chen Deng, an insider, Yuan Yao dared to believe that Huainan's grain output would inevitably increase greatly tomorrow.
Chen Deng shook his head, he only had one request, "Deng only hopes that General Yuan Yao can get rid of his previous suspicions and no longer hold my father accountable!" Chen Deng still couldn't rest assured of his father, and made this request to Yuan Yao.
"Your father?" Yuan Yao looked at Chen Deng's expression and knew that Chen Deng was afraid that he would settle accounts with Chen Si after the autumn.
To tell the truth, Yuan Yao really had such a plan at the beginning, that is, after taking Guangling County, he would arrest the entire Chen family, especially the old thief Chen Si, he wanted to escort him to Yuan Shu's grave to repent, but he was stopped by Tian Feng and others, because they knew that it was easy to deal with Chen Si, but once Chen Si was dealt with.
Cool is cool, but Yuan Yao is going to have two notorious reputations, one is a little chicken belly, it is difficult to tolerate people, how can Chen Si say that it is also a grudge with Yuan Shu of the previous generation, Yuan Shu is dead, and it was not killed by Chen Si, Yuan Yao knows that even if there is no Chen Si, Yuan Shu is only a defeated Tu, because although the Han Emperor at that time was a puppet, the title of Han has not completely died.
The hearts of the common people still feel that the Han Dynasty is orthodox, and you Yuan Shu is rebellious, plus Yuan Shu does not know how to restrain himself in order to covet enjoyment, Huainan has long been resentful, and this final failure is sooner or later, this Chen Si also saw this and pushed everyone down.
If Chen Si is killed, as long as he has a grudge with Yuan Yao in the future, who will dare to take refuge in him.
What about the second one, that is, Chen Si is a celebrity and a scholar, this celebrity is not the kind of big troll of You Heng and Mr. Youda, but a real celebrity, who is famous in the entire Xuzhou or the entire Central Plains.
It was Lu Bu who met Chen Si when he first met him, but he was called his father.
It is enough to see that Chen Si's fame is great.
Killing Chen Si is not tolerating talents, where will anyone dare to take refuge with you Yuan Yao in the future.
Calculate carefully, except for refreshing, there is no other benefit, why bother to have a feud with the Chen family.
"Mr. Chen Deng, that's all the grudge of the older generation, what do we have to do with it? If it is about seniority, Mr. Chen Si and my father are friends, and you are still my brother! Yuan Yao appeased Chen Deng over there.
Listening to Yuan Yao's words, Chen Deng was surprised, because Yuan Yao actually gave up his grudge? You must know that Yuan Yao'er is famous for holding grudges, Lao Cao took Yuan Yao to Yanzhou as a guest, and he immediately invited Lao Cao to Lujiang.
Would such a grudge-minded villain give up his grudge?
Of course Yuan Yao won't, but it also depends on how much interest there is.
Although Chen Deng was surprised, if Yuan Yao really gave up his grudge, then Chen Deng was still willing to die for Yuan Yao.
"Mr. Chen Si has always been known for his profound knowledge, and I want to listen to the teachings under the old man!"
"Guangling Chen Deng has seen the lord!" Chen Deng half-knelt down, this was really about to join Yuan Yao's den of thieves.
"Brother Chen Deng, clear it quickly, clear it quickly!" Yuan Yao also helped Chen Deng.
Chen Deng joined Yuan Yaojun because of his father, and Yuan Yao let go of Chen Si because of his interests, which was a win-win situation.
This is not counting, Yuan Yao in order to fully reassure Chen Deng is also to fully squeeze Chen Si.
Yuan Yao actually wanted to worship Chen Si as a teacher when Chen Si arrived.
Chen Si is an old fox, how can he not understand what Yuan Yao thinks, how is this Yuan Yao because he admires him Chen Si's personality and knowledge, and because of Chen Si's fame.
But even if he knew, Chen Si was happy to agree, after all, the master of Huainan was Yuan Yao, and there was no harm in having a good relationship with Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao's apprenticeship with Chen Si has become famous all over the world.
Cao Cao, who was far away in Chen Liu's generation, was also dumbfounded when he heard the news, originally thought that even if Yuan Yao and Chen Si didn't fight to the death, they would have to fight, once Yuan Yao killed Chen Si, then Yuan Yao's reputation would be stinky, and if Yuan Yao couldn't beat Guangling, then he couldn't blame him Cao Cao for not abiding by the agreement.
But who would have thought that Chen Si would surrender shamelessly without the help of Cao Cao's reinforcements.
After that, Yuan Yao gave up revenge and apprenticed to Chen Si?
What kind of person is Chen Si, he is a famous person in the world, not a peach and plum all over the world, but also famous far and wide.
Coupled with Sun Xiaoquan's unlucky appearance, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "We have all fulfilled this Yuan Yao child!" "Cao Cao knew that this Yuan Yao's apprenticeship with Chen Si was not generous at all, if he Yuan Yao was generous, there would not be so many moths, just to borrow Chen Si's name.
Chen Si is a famous man in the world, and the apprenticeship of Chen Si can be recognized by the Xuzhou scholars, and secondly, with Chen Si, many talents will go according to their names, and Yuan Yao will accept a batch of talents again.
Do you say Cao Cao can not be jealous? He Yuan Yao Xiaoer can be shameless, but he Cao Cao can't do it, after all, his age is there.
