Chapter 522: The Book of the Flying Pigeon
It is said that the first military meeting after the Sun Long Alliance was held in the operational command room in Lujiang City. At the meeting, Zhuge Liang used radical words and a tough posture to successfully arouse General Sun Wu's desire to win.
Lu Su next to him knew that Zhuge Kongming was so tough that he was trying to persuade the generals of Jiangdong to surrender to the Qinglong Army in the future and establish a strong psychological advantage. Once the time is ripe, the seed buried deep in the hearts of Bofu, Zhongmou and Gongjin today will take root and sprout, making it possible for the Qinglong Army to smoothly and peacefully unify Jiangdong.
After Sun Ce's final difficult choice, he knew that only by giving up Huang Zu would he get the full cooperation of the Qinglong Army. And Zhou Gongjin, Sun Zhongmou, Cheng Demou and others all wanted to refuse, so they all looked at Sun Ce and asked for instructions. Sun Ce finally had to say with difficulty: "But the Yellow Ancestor of Yuecheng has always had an ambiguous attitude and is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and today he was exterminated by the Qinglong Army, which can be regarded as self-inflicted. Anyway, Yuecheng let the Qinglong Army take it for itself, and the Jiangdong Army will never interfere. However, Lushan City, which is located on the riverside side with Qiyue City, is still owned by the Jiangdong Army. ”
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said with a smile: "Since Wu Hou has spoken, this is a word!" Lu Su and I will go back and make a surprise attack on Hefei. After Gong Jin and Zhu Gong formulate a field battle plan around the Lujiang River, they will inform each other and coordinate the time of military operations. ”
Zhuge Liang instantly became the leader of the military meeting, and Zhou Yu and the others only nodded yes. The two sides agreed to make a military plan report at this time tomorrow, and Zhuge Liang and Lu Su still returned to the post house on foot. At the door of the post house, there was already a person waiting to meet him, and Zhuge Liang ordered Li Kan, the bodyguard, to take the guests to the living room outside the bedroom to meet.
Ma Chao's original eight strong generals, all defected from Han Sui, and were divided into two parts by Chen Long during the Xiangyang Conference, of which Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan were specifically responsible for forming Zhuge Liang's garrison, and Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and Yang Qiu were responsible for forming Huang Yueying's garrison, which could be regarded as removing Ma Chao's minions. This time, the four strong generals were all guarding Zhuge Liang, and gradually there was a tacit understanding between the master and the slave. Li Jian sent the guests to the living room, and after exiting, he stood guard outside the hall door.
Zhuge Liang saw that the guest was dressed as a businessman, and knew that it was the intelligence commissioner established by Lujiang who had arrived. asked: "How many people are there in the defenders of Hefei City?" ”
The man got up and replied, "According to the news in Hefei City, there are only about 5,000 defenders in the city, and the Tun army is around the grain depot. On weekdays, the north gate is specially used for grain and grass to enter and exit, and the people are forbidden to approach. Two large camps were set up outside the north gate, but it was observed that there were now about 10,000 people in the east camp, but the west camp was an empty camp. The rest of the men and horses have already been pulled out, and they should have entered the area near the Lujiang River. The specific location is not known for the time being due to the strict blockade of news. ”
Zhuge Liang nodded, if there were only 15,000 people in Hefei, and the combined troops of Xiahoudun and Xu Chu were 80,000 people, where would the rest of the men and horses go? Could it be that he has returned to the army for Shouchun? What is the reason for returning to the army? And for which unit was the Western Battalion prepared? After thinking for a while, he asked, "Shouchun, is there a new troop coming over?" ”
The man continued: "Every day in Shouchun, a convoy of grain and grass enters Hefei. However, there is no specific information on whether new field troops will come. Yesterday, there was also a situation in which all the gates of the city were suddenly closed to the public, prohibiting any people from entering or leaving, and there seemed to be a movement of troops and horses outside the city, but the details were not known. This bit of information is still passed on by the flying pigeon. ”
Flying pigeon transmission was the fastest way for Zhang Ning to communicate at the suggestion of Liu Qian when there was a lack of means of information transmission at that time. Almost every intelligence point has a number of carrier pigeons, which travel between the major intelligence points and the intelligence headquarters, carrying the largest secret transmission of military information of the Blue Dragon Army.
Zhuge Liang took out the order written in his sleeve and handed it to this human: "Immediately send a message to General Gan Ning of the Snake Mountain Military Port, General Huang Zhong of Hanyang City, and the military division of Xi Zhicai, and immediately make every effort to take Qiyue City and exterminate the forces of Huang Zu." The battle of Jiangxia was completed by the military division of Xi Zhicai independently, and the military plan did not need to be sent to me, nor did it need to be sent to Chang'an, in case of leakage. The man hurriedly stuffed the written secret into his underwear pocket.
Zhuge Liang continued to take out two secret orders and said: "Immediately hand over these two secret orders to General Huang Zhong and General Zhao Yun respectively, and let them act according to the plan." The command of the two legions to fight together will still belong to Xi Zhicai for the time being, but after the destruction of Huang Zu, I will join up with Huang Zhong's army in Qiyue City and personally command the battle. The man hurriedly took it and stuffed the two secret orders.
After the order was finished, the man arched his hand and asked, "Strategist, if there is no order, I will go back and arrange it below." ”
Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "I still have a secret letter here, but I want you to go and run it yourself." ”
The man hurriedly said, "I am willing to serve my life." But I don't know who it was for? ”
Zhuge Liang didn't answer, and asked, "You might get the uniforms of Zhou Gongjin's guards of the Jiangdong Army?" ”
The man was slightly stunned and said, "There is no problem with this. But ......" The man wisely stopped asking, but his eyes were full of doubt.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "In this case, I want you to find a few people, put on makeup to be Zhou Yu's guards, and pass this letter to Qiao Lao in Lujiang and Anhui County." And then, so and so, and so ......"
The man's eyes couldn't help spinning, obviously he had already understood what he was hearing. Zhuge Liang pulled a secret letter out of another sleeve, handed it to this person, and said: "There are priorities, you should know how to choose." If it is because of the transmission of information, it is a bad thing, and you should be taken by the head. The man was busy prostrate on the ground, saying that he didn't dare, but he thought in his heart, although Zhuge Junshi was young, he was such a great official!
After the intelligence commissioner left, Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, received the living room window, looked at the street scene below, and relaxed slightly. The Battle of Lujiang is in the ascendant, as long as Jiangdong's troops can involve Cao's army in Lujiang to the death, the plan of a surprise attack on Hefei will definitely succeed. Along the distant Yellow River, I don't know how Guo Jia and Zhou Budo are preparing? The lord is in Xiliang, has he successfully rescued the mother of Diao Chan? The lord is good everywhere, but he is a little willful, and he will give up everything for the sake of beauty, and I Kong Ming will never be able to do it.
Zhuge Liang was thinking nonsense here, and the battle of Jiangxia had already made all preparations before Zhuge Liang's order arrived. Xi Zhicai had all the information on Huang Zu's military strength, and according to the intelligence, the strength of the Qinglong Army should be three times more than that of Huang Zu's water army. But I don't know why, Xi Zhicai is always uneasy, the reason is that the war is imminent, Hefei City, Lujiang City, Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu fought one after another, but Huang Zu's side was silent, this kind of calm is too abnormal. Where did Huang Zu's calm courage come from? It's so incomprehensible.
On this day, Xi Zhi had just received a notice that Gan Ning could send troops to attack the water village of Qiyue City at any time, and he received a letter from Zhuge Liang's flying pigeon from the Lujiang River. As soon as the secret order arrived, Xi Zhi was overjoyed and ordered his subordinates: "Immediately invite General Huang Hansheng to come over to discuss the matter!" ”
