Chapter 130: Return to the Army
Hanjin.
Above the river, the surging river is endless.
A one-day water war is over!
Lu Xun led the crowd back to Hanjin Port, Guan Yu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, continuous fierce battles, his own soldiers were also exhausted, so they marched towards the parade.
Fortunately, Liao Hua and Ma Liang set up a simple camp in advance to provide the whole army with rest.
At this moment, Guan Yu had just gotten off the boat and was about to return to the camp, but the scout came to report, and a soldier wearing Jingzhou armor appeared in front of him and asked to see him.
Hearing this, he pondered for a moment, stroked his beard and said, "Bring it here!" ”
Since he learned that it was his own sergeant, Guan Yu did not refuse to meet him, after all, with his martial arts, he was not afraid of a sergeant attacking.
"No."
After half a bang, the scout quickly departed, bringing the sergeant back.
"The villain sees the prince!"
"The villain is one of the capitals of the garrison of Hanjin Port, and he is guilty of losing the port, and I ask the prince to forgive him."
As soon as he arrived, Dubo, who was about thirty years old, couldn't help but kneel on the ground and apologize.
Hearing this, Guan Yu's face was not good, and he said coldly: "If there is something, let's talk about it in the village first." ”
As soon as the words fell, he strode away first, and this Jingzhou Dubo got up and followed.
In the wall.
Guan Yu, who was in the main position, listened carefully to the words of Du Bo at the bottom of the stairs, then stroked his beard and pondered lightly, and then said: "You retreat for the time being, rest!" ”
"No."
Hearing this, this Du Bo did not dare to slack off, and immediately surrendered.
Waiting for Du Bo to leave slowly, he looked back and faced the crowd, and said loudly: "Everyone, today this marshal led the water army to engage in a water battle with the Wu thief, and the fierce battle lasted for half a day, but it only had a slight advantage, and no substantial results were achieved. ”
"From this point of view, it is difficult to recapture Hanjin Port in the water war!"
"But Hanjin is a place where our army must return to defend Jiangling, but now the Wu army has entered the port, and it is clear that it is to prevent our army from returning to help."
After a pause, he stroked his beard and groaned for a while, before he said: "The key is still Lu Xun, the commander of the Wu army." ”
"This person, when he just succeeded Lu Meng some time ago, he kept writing to Ben Shuai, and his words were full of goodwill."
"But when I saw it today, I found that the Wu army was neat, and the deployment of warships was also orderly."
"Not only that, but in the fierce battle, he always kept calm, such a character is probably not a bombastic scholar."
"This marshal looks at it, this person has good ability, and now he is only the first time to lead the army, and he has no prestige in the army, but once he has been trained for a period of time, his threat to our army will not be weaker than Lu Mengye!"
As soon as these words fell, everyone in the village couldn't help but show doubts, but they all felt a burst of incredulity.
Some time ago, Guan Yu's words and expressions also belittled Lu Xun, commenting that this person was just a scholar, just an ordinary man, how could he lead the army to fight?
But today's water war has greatly changed his impression, and even affirmed Lu Xun's potential.
From this point of view, Lu Xun can make Guan Yudu attach great importance to it, and his ability must not be underestimated!
This is the real Guan Yu's character.
He didn't look down on scholars outright, in fact, Guan Yu was just a high-ranking official with noble birth and mediocre talent, but he could easily serve as a high-ranking official.
For such people, he not only despised them in his heart, but also despised them very much.
can be replaced by capable people such as Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, Guan Yu still has admiration.
After a while, Guan Yu looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, if you want to win the water war now and break through the Wu army's interception, it may be difficult to achieve it for a while and a half. ”
"But Ben Shuai feels that since the Wu army has gone to great lengths to occupy Hanjin and cut off the connection between us and Nanjun, it will inevitably march quickly and besiege Jiangling."
"Therefore, I have decided to send a general to lead the army back, return to Jiangling from Dangyang and Maicheng by land, and join the defenders in the city to hold the city."
When the words fell, Ma Liang took the lead and said: "The words of the prince are reasonable, now that the waterway is cut off, our army can only return to the army by land, although it takes a little longer, but it is better than taking time here." ”
"Moreover, the Xiangguan rice taken by our army before, if you estimate the time, it should be almost in Dangyang City."
"Now, it is just time to order a general and an army to return, escort the military rations back to Gangneung, and hold the city."
"In this way, even if the Wu army besieges the city with all its might, there are moats on three sides of Jiangling City, and the east side is also backed by the Yangtze River, the terrain can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the military food is enough, our army will hold on for a year, it will not be a problem."
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the generals also seconded this strategy.
After half a sound, the former governor Zhao Lei stood up first, and arched his hand: "Junhou, the last general is willing to lead the army back to defense." ”
"In terms of the strength of the infantry army in the army, no one can compare with the last general, so I am willing to lead the people back to the army."
The words of the battle slowly fell, and Guan Yu was silent.
In the village, it suddenly fell silent again!
Obviously, he is not Guan Yu's ideal candidate.
"Prince."
"Prince."
shouted several times in a row, but Guan Yu still ignored it, and then, Ma Liangcai smiled and said slowly: "Junhou, Liang recommends, let Lord Liao Bo lead 10,000 foot soldiers to return from the land." ”
"Yuan Jian acts calmly, and he is the best candidate to return to the army."
"Accurate!"
"Liao Hua listened to the order, this general ordered you to lead 10,000 soldiers back to Nanjun and stick to Jiangling with Guan Ping, are you sure?"
When the words fell, Guan Yu's expression suddenly became excited, and he approved Ma Liang's election.
At this moment, Liao Hua on the side suddenly heard this, but he was a little stunned, and he didn't react half-loudly.
He, pondering for a while, was still at a loss!
The chief general of the Hui army actually fell on his head like this.
This is the only psychological discourse of Liaohua today.
From the side, Zhao Ti listened, and couldn't help but suddenly become emotional, and immediately said in a loud voice: "Junhou, Nanjun is the foundation of our army, and there is no room for loss!" ”
"Once lost, our army will surely fall into a place of no return."
"Lord Liao's experience in commanding troops is not as rich as that of the last general, so let me lead the army."
For a while, Zhao Lei's words were extremely harsh, and Liao Hua, who was on the side, couldn't help but show anger at this time, so he stood up and said: "Junhou, the last general received the order, and he is willing to lead the army back to defend and assist the young general in defending the city." ”
"The last general is willing to make a military order to ensure that the city is not lost!"
At this moment, Liao Hua couldn't help but speak firmly, he was also angered by Zhao Lei's words just now.
"Okay, you can go and get some troops."
"Tonight, I will take advantage of the night and leave quietly."
After a while, Guan Yu gave an order, waved his hand to signal to leave, and went to prepare.
"No."
Waiting for Liao Hua to leave with his head held high, Zhao Lei couldn't help but look anxious: "Junhou." ”
It's just that Guan Yu returned to silence at this time and stopped talking!
For a while, Zhao Lei's face couldn't help but become more and more anxious, and it continued to sound for a while, and Ma Liang quietly got Guan Yu's eyes from the side, so he walked out slowly, chuckling: "General Zhao, don't be impatient!" ”
"Although it is said that returning to Jiangling is indeed the top priority."
"However, the prince has another meaning for you to stay here."
After a pause, he slowly explained: "General Zhao, you must know that now the Wu army has occupied Hanjin Port. ”
"The strategic location of Hanjin Port, which controls the waterway between Yangyang and Namgun, is extremely important."
"Secondly, this port is also the outpost of our army to guard against the Jiangxia Wu army, and it is also the location of our naval army."
"If this city is not recaptured, then Jiangling and Xiangyang waterways will always be controlled by the Wu army, and even if Jingzhou is held in the future, it will completely lose control of the Yangtze River."
"Therefore, the prince has decided to recapture Hanjin no matter what, after all, the importance of Hanjin Port to our army is self-evident!"
"However, looking at the army, only the general you are proficient in water warfare and can share the worries of the prince and marquis, once you lead the army back to defense, then how should our army fight with the Wu army?"
"General Zhao thinks, yes or no?"
As soon as he spoke, Ma Liang smiled and explained slowly.
When the words fell, Zhao Leicai couldn't help but look suspicious, showing blank eyes, looking at Guan Yu on the main seat.
Halfway through, Guan Yu stroked his beard and said softly: "Yes, what Ji Chang said is right, this is what Ben Shuai intended." ”
"Gangneung cannot afford to be lost, and Hanjin must also be recaptured."
At this moment, Guan Yu's face suddenly became serious, and he patted the boulder in front of him, his long beard fluttered, and he shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Zhao Leicai let go of the mustard in his heart, and turned overjoyed, so he shouted: "Rest assured, the next water war, the last general will definitely capture the port and expel the Wu army." ”
"General Zhao, just now you spoke too aggressively and angered Lord Liao, and he has a grudge against you, which is not a good thing."
"In the future, it will definitely affect the sincere unity of our army, according to Liang, you should go and shake hands with it!"
Immediately, Ma Liang also stood up at the right time and said softly.
The words fell, Zhao Lei got a perfect explanation at the moment, and the mood was when it was smooth, and what was the point of apologizing.
"Junhou, don't worry, sir, if you are tired, you will immediately seek forgiveness from Lord Liao, and it will not cause mutual hostility."
"Haha."
With a chuckle, Zhao Lei gave up his hand and retired.
Immediately after, the rest of the generals in the village also returned, only Ma Liang still stayed here!
Immediately, at this time, Guan Yu resummoned the previous member Du Bo to come back.
After entering the village, this Dubo saw that no one was present, so he informed Guan Yu and Ma Liang of the situation he had come.
"Gentleman, sir, that's it."
After the confession, this Dubo also continued to withdraw from the village, and the time was so short that it was as if he had never entered the village!
After hearing this, Guan Yu looked worried, and muttered: "Ji Chang, what do you think of this strategy?" ”
"How sure is it that our army will implement it?"
Hearing this, Ma Liang thought about it for a while, and also said: "Prince, according to Liang, the time for this strategy has not yet come, and now the Wu army has just entered the port, and it is at the time when the vigilance is the strongest. ”
"It's hard to succeed if you do it now."
"Even if it is a fluke, it will not hurt Wu Jun!"
"Therefore, good advice, it is better to wait for now."
"During this period of time, we will first conduct a water war, so as to reduce the precautionary nature of the Wu army!"
In a speech, Ma Liang slowly put forward his own opinions.
Hearing the news, Guan Yu thought about it carefully, and felt quite reasonable, so he secretly made up his mind.
"Ji Chang, how long can our army's military rations last?"
When the words fell, Ma Liang's mind surged, and he recalled it carefully, and said: "Prince, except for Lord Liao Bo who led the crowd to leave, and received a few days of rations, the remaining food can still support the daily needs. ”
"Therefore, this strategy must be used within ten days to defeat the Wu army and rob it of its rations."
"Otherwise, it may be difficult for our army to recapture Hanjin Port."
After listening to his explanation, Guan Yu also made up his mind and decided to continue the water battle with the Wu army.
Only by fighting can Lu Xun sweep away all distractions and have no time to take care of anything else!
