Chapter Ninety-Seven: Soldiers Dispatch to Hengyang
Gou Huai Quartet, where you can play the plate. ———— Jin. Ouyang Jian's "Dying Poem"
It is said that Chen Long's first military meeting when he returned to Lingling established the military strategy of Huairou Jiaozhou and Guiyang first, but the appearance of Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu disrupted this military deployment.
Chen Long put Huang Zhong's letter on his desk and decided to send troops to rescue Huang Zhong. But how to send troops is a painstaking consideration. Zhou Bu questioned Huang Xu's information about the configuration of the Su Dynasty's troops and the time to travel at full speed, so he stood up and said confidently: "Although the Su Dynasty claims to have 50,000 troops, they are all infantry, and they are divided to suppress Changsha County, and the troops around the county should actually be more than 30,000 people."
"The goal of our army's dispatch this time is not to annihilate the main force of the enemy, nor to attack the city, but to rescue Huang Zhong's troops, so in terms of tactics, I think a surprise attack in the middle of the night is the best policy. And against the infantry, the best thing is, of course, cavalry. The east of Youxian County is close to the remaining veins of Wugong Mountain, and the hills are undulating, which is not conducive to the cavalry marching at night; The western side is close to the water, and the terrain is narrow, which is also not conducive to the cavalry charge. ”
"Therefore, the main direction of surprise attack is either north or south, and if the warships march along the water, it is difficult not to be perceived by the Soviet army, so the direction of the main attack should be the plain in the northwest of Youxian County."
"The water is connected with the Hunan water, and the bay is vertical and horizontal, which is conducive to the mooring of warships and reduces the time for cavalry landing. Liaojia Bay, fifty miles northwest of Youxian County, penetrates deep into the land to form a natural harbor, which is also a suitable sprint distance for cavalry. If the cavalry division takes a warship and enters Youshui along the Hunan River, it can enter Liaojiawan without knowing it in three days, charge at night, prepare rockets, and burn the camp besieging the city of Sudai. Then they joined the troops, retreated to Liaojiawan and boarded the ship, and retreated to Lingling overnight. ”
"Fu Tong's First Army Division is the elite cavalry of our army, and Fu Tong happens to be the old department of General Huang Zhong, and the road is familiar, so this expedition is none other than Fu Tong. The dispatch of troops this time will be a quick decision, leaving the mess in Changsha for Liu Biao to clean up, which can make Liu Biao anxious, and will not affect the deployment of troops to Guiyang after the beginning of spring next year, but will be beneficial to it. ”
After Zhou Budo finished speaking, he sat down and looked at Chen Long, and the generals of the strategists saw that Zhou Budo said a feasible plan to rescue Huang Zhong's troops in just a few minutes, which can be described as geographically proficient and exhaustive, and they all secretly admired it in their hearts, and they all looked at Chen Long, and Huang Xu also looked at Chen Long with his eyes, waiting for him to nod in approval.
Chen Long thought for a moment and said: "Yuan Zhi's clever strategy is invulnerable, but this time the army is not only for the purpose of rescuing Han Sheng. Do other generals have something to say? ”
When everyone heard this, they all thought about it, and Pan Jun said: "But you want to defeat the Su Dai army and occupy Youxian?" The geographical location of Youxian County is just located in the north of Guiyang County, and the road connecting Guiyang is much smoother, and there is a waterway to approach Guiyang, which can be used as an important stronghold to capture Guiyang in the coming year. ”
Chen Long glanced at Pan Jun approvingly and said, "What Chengming said is extremely true. Occupying Youxian does have the geographical advantage of sending troops to deal with Guiyang. However, the small town of Youxian County can't afford a few soldiers. ”
Guo Jia gradually understood that the lord was going to carry out the plan of the Warring States period to destroy the enemy, and said with a smile: "What the lord said is to occupy Hengyang? ”
Chen Long laughed out loud and said, "It's still Feng Xiao who is keen." Fengxiao, you talk about the possibilities and benefits of occupying Hengyang. ”
Guo Jia stood up, his handsome face shining brightly, and said: "Hengyang is strategically located, bordering the Xiangjiang River, and is an important transportation hub between Guiyang, Lingling and Changsha. The Lingling warship can reach Hengyang along the Xiangshui River in ten days, and then go to Changsha, but it is only two days. ”
"Hengyang is a place where Liu Biao has not had time to appoint a local governor, and now it is only occupied by the militia group. The best thing is that Hengyang has always been unclear whether it belongs to Lingling County or Changsha County, and some people even say that it belongs to Guiyang County, so it is a gray area. The lord can immediately appoint a magistrate of Hengyang County, and sending troops to occupy it will be smoothly completed. ”
"As for the benefits, I believe everyone can see through it at a glance. Hengyang not only cut off the choke point between Guiyang and Changsha, but also let Huang Zhong continue to guard Youxian, which formed a situation of closing the door and beating dogs in Guiyang, and it was not Guiyang's turn Zhao Fan not to surrender. Moreover, Hengyang is so convenient from Changsha waterway, which has obtained an important stronghold for the future capture of Changsha. I'm afraid that after the lord occupies Hengyang, Changsha Han Xuan will not be able to sleep peacefully. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, Chen Qun stood up and said excitedly: "The lord is really far-sighted, I will definitely send someone to tell the old patriarch that he is not wrong." Let him dig out more talents for his father-in-law. The other generals also applauded.
Chen Long likes talents the most, and when he heard Chen Qun's words, he laughed and said: "I like to hear Changwen the most, as long as it is a talent, I am their hometown here, and I will give the best training." "I thought, I traveled to the Three Kingdoms, just to find heroes, these big families are strong, talents, and they are all the same, and they are all prosperous, and they are indeed the best cradle of talent output.
Thinking of this, Chen Long was waiting for instructions to prepare for the dispatch of troops to Changsha and Hengyang, when Xi Zhicai suddenly said: "Lord, I have a word." In my opinion, there should be a correct order for sending troops. Hengyang should be taken first, and it was announced to the public that it was to rescue Liu Biao's Changsha County in Jingzhou, and that it needed a garrison near Changsha County, so that it was nominally to save Liu Biao's Jingzhou, not to save Huang Zhong's Youxian. In the eyes of outsiders, in this matter, we are to save our colleagues in the Han Dynasty, and we are the first to take the word first, and Liu Biao is not good at attacking us for a Hengyang, and we have to open our eyes and close our eyes on the surface. After defeating the soldiers and horses of the Su Dynasty besieging Youxian, its defeated soldiers must want to flee to Changsha and join the bandits in Changsha. In this way, Liu Biao owes us a big favor, and when the time comes to capture Guiyang, it depends on whether Liu Biao will ignore the threat of Nanyang Yuan Shu and take the lead in tearing up his face with us. ”
Chen Long was overjoyed, patted Zhicai on the shoulder and said, "Zhicai's words are very much in line with my wishes." "Thinking that he made a mess in Luoyang and made Emperor Ling of Han an idiot, Yuan Shu took the lead in dividing the troops in Nanyang, and it seemed that the era of warlord melee had come ahead of schedule because of himself. Now, only He Jin is missing to kill the eunuchs, causing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to flee, and Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing.
Huang Xu listened to the seemingly harmless handsome men and beauties in front of him in a daze, and thought that Liu Biao was really unlucky, so he couldn't die and was actually a neighbor of Long Chen, and he would inevitably be swept out of Jingzhou by Long Chen one day and expelled from Jingzhou like a lost dog. When I returned to Youxian this time, I must talk to my father in detail and persuade him to return to Chen Long as soon as possible.
Chen Long finally concluded: "Publicly, saving people is like fighting fire. Within two days, according to the results of the discussion just now, you will come up with a detailed plan for sending troops to Changsha, and Zhou Budo and Xi Zhicai will be temporarily led by you to help you write the plan. Three days later, I will go out with you. ”
Huang Gai, Zhou Budo, and Xi Zhicai stood up and said, "Obey the order!" Huang Gai looked at Long Chen and said, "Lord, do you use your knife to kill chickens?" You've just come back, and everyone in your family needs you. Saying that, he blinked, and Zhang Ning, who was angry, gritted his teeth, eager to kick his feet to get angry.
Chen Long laughed angrily, and when he saw Zhang Ning's expression, he hurriedly said, "Third brother, I'm not here because I'm afraid that you won't be able to do something." I'm here for Brother Huang Zhong. Huang Gai understood that Long Chen had always been angry about Huang Zhong's refusal to surrender, and this time was indeed a godsend to convince Huang Zhong.
Chen Long announced the adjournment of the meeting and said to Huang Xu: "Virtuous nephew, you can rest for a while at noon, I know that you are in a hurry to go back to report the news, but sharpen your knife and cut wood, give me some time, and I will arrange for someone to go with you." "Let's say that, let Chen Qun arrange a rest for Huang Xu nearby, let Pang Shanmin lead Zhang Ning to arrange the office space of the spy department, and let Gan Ning call Zu Lang of the special forces and Li Tong, the new captain of the detachment.
The personnel of the special forces were originally selected by Chen Long personally, but this Li Tong joined later, Gan Ning said that he had a flexible mind and was skilled in martial arts, so he was selected into the special forces and recommended as the captain of the detachment. Chen Long was eager to learn about this Li Tong's background.
Taking advantage of Gan Ning's time to call someone, Chen Long pulled Jiang Wan to the study, sat down and said, "Gongyan, Xu Yu and Xu Zi came to visit from far north, and I sent someone to inform you to monitor." What are the results of the monitoring? ”
Jiang Wan thought that this was the case, thought about where to start, and then said: "Xu Yu drove lightly, disguised himself as a businessman, and entered the city by water, it was Gang Leader Yang who first discovered his whereabouts, and then entered the surveillance field arranged by me. After entering the city, he successively visited several big families in the city, all of which were big families when Liu Du was in office, including Liu Ba's mansion. Later, I took people to make rounds and talked with the people, but I have no way of knowing what they talked about when they came to their homes, and I did not alarm them. Seven days later, he left by boat without a sound. ”
Chen Long nodded and asked, "Does he have any contact with our generals?" Zhang Jiao's cemetery, has he ever been there? ”
Jiang Wan said: "I haven't found any contact with generals. As for Zhang Jiao, it is a secret burial, the location is very secret, according to your instructions, the tombstone is only engraved with the tomb of Zhang Gong Shuntian, Xu You should have no way of knowing. ”
Chen Long relaxed a little, and asked again, "How many people did Xu You have?" How many people are there when you go? ”
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully: "When I took over the surveillance, until Xu You left, I personally saw it at the dock, and there should be four people on board. As for how many people were when they got off the boat, I immediately sent someone to ask Gang Leader Yang. ”
Chen Long said: "Gongyan, don't send people, you go and ask in person." There can be more than four people disembarking, perhaps in separate groups. Jiang Wan hurriedly got on his horse and hurried away.
Gan Ning rushed back with two of his subordinates, and Chen Long first called Zu Lang alone and said, "Zu Lang, you go and get fully armed, and then go to Changwen and let him lead you to see Huang Xu." You and Huang Xu will go back to Youxian County together immediately, as for the details, you can ask the long article. When he arrived in Youxian County, he informed Huang Zhong that at night after seven days, he saw a fire outside Beicheng and was killed, so be careful. Zu Lang got the order and hurried away.
After Zu Lang left, Gan Ning led Li Tong in, and Li Tong bowed and saluted. Seeing that he was of moderate stature and flexible in demeanor, Long Chen smiled and said, "Li Tong, where are you from?" ”
Li Tong replied calmly: "The villain is a Jiangxia clan, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. "Listening to his accent, Long Chen is indeed from Jiangxia.
He asked again: "Jiangxia is not far away, why did you come here to be a soldier?" ”
Li Channel: "When I was fifteen years old, Jiangxia was in turmoil, thieves were in turmoil, and unfortunately both parents died. I migrated with the displaced people, went into exile for hundreds of miles, experienced hardships, and heard that Lingling received the displaced people and gave them wasteland reclamation, so I came without fear of hardships and dangers. Fortunately, Commander Gan recruited soldiers among the homeless people, and he fell in love with my martial arts, so he was able to join the army. There was no flaw in the words.
How did Li Tong know that Chen Long had a light brain hidden in his brain. The light brain has long shown Li Tong, the word Wenda, Jiangxia people's clan, famous in Jiangru as a ranger, when Cao Cao conquered the Yellow Turban in Runan, because of his meritorious service in replenishing the source of troops, he was worshiped by Cao Cao as the captain of Yang'an. I just don't know, is this Li Tong the other Li Tong?
