Chapter 739: The Battle of Unification (3)

"Too late?"

Sun Ce's face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted: "It's too late, it's too late." ”

Immediately, he turned his gaze to Sun Quan and said, "Second brother, now that Zijing is in the north, there are not many people I can trust. ”

Sun Quan understood and bowed: "Please instruct Your Majesty, the minister will do everything he can to delay the advance of the Ming army." ”

Sun Ce took an object from the side and said, "With you holding my sword, go to the two counties of Huiji and Linhai, and the governor of military affairs. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The military situation was urgent, Sun Quan took the sword with both hands and left quickly.

Inside the temple.

Sun Ce looked at Lu Xun again.

Lu Xun felt that his scalp was a little numb, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

After a long time, I heard Sun Ce say: "Bo Yan, you say, can I believe you?" ”

Lu Xun's heart was suddenly cold, he knew that if he didn't answer well, he might lose his life and even affect his family. The majesty in front of him is not a merciful lord, who can save his life when Wucheng Hou is in danger, and then sit firmly in Jiangdong, relying not on flattery, but on dripping blood, one by one!

While Lu Xun was thinking about it, Sun Ce was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for his answer.

Hey...... His Majesty had said before that there were not many credible people, and it seems that it was not only said to the prince, but also to Xun. If you look at it this way, you are asking in the literal sense of the word, and nothing else.

After understanding, Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as Your Majesty is in one day, the minister will be Your Majesty's minister." ”

The implication is that if Sun Ce is gone, then he will be his courtier, and the so-called trust will not be talked about.

Sun Ce smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. If Lu Xun answered firmly, he didn't say a word, and immediately ordered him to be killed; And vice versa; Only such an answer can reassure him. After all, the Ming army is not a powerful person who can be described now, and there is probably no difference between insisting on people to be loyal and letting people die.

"Good!"

Sun Ce clapped his hands, and even if one person came from the apse, he still held something in his hand.

"Zijing is in the north, and he has fought with the Ming army for many years in Yuxukou, even if he is defeated, he can resist the Ming army for many days."

Sun Ce said unhurriedly: "However, it is only so decisive that it can't stop the Ming army, and I will lead the soldiers and horses all the way to Pengze, waiting for the opportunity to advance east and fight off the Ming army with Zijing." If he is defeated, he can also take Zijing and retreat to Jiangnan. ”

Pengze is named because it is located on the shore of Pengze Lake. Except for Poyang and Weixukou, the rest of the naval army of Wu Di are all hidden here. The importance of this cannot be overstated!

Lu Xun's body was shocked, and he immediately said respectfully: "Obey Your Majesty's orders." ”

Sun Ce motioned to the person just now, waited for him to send the things to Lu Xun, and said: "With this tiger talisman, you can mobilize Peng Ze's navy, and I hope Boyan will make good use of it." ”

Lu Xun was horrified, he thought that he was just leading an army for reinforcements, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to hand over this water army to him, but he still took the tiger talisman and responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Just as the two monarchs and ministers were making a plan, Cheng Zhi rushed to less than thirty miles east of Peng Ze and temporarily stopped in a relatively wide river bay.

The next lieutenant under the command of Cheng Zhi was quite puzzled by this, and asked: "General, why don't you directly enter Pengze and destroy the Wu Shui army?" ”

"Although Emperor Wu's navy is not very good, now is not the time for us to be exposed." Cheng Zhi explained casually, and then ignored this person.

Seeing this, the lieutenant didn't dare to ask more, but he was wondering in his heart: Is now not the time? When is the time? Wouldn't it be over if you just killed it? A little Wu Jun can't stop us!

The idea of the lieutenant represents the majority of the Ming army. However, this is not arrogance, but the Ming army has this strength, but they have poor vision and don't know the meaning, but the strict military regulations make them only doubt in their hearts.

"Hurry up and find out the movements of Peng Ze's navy." Cheng Zhi gave an order in the blink of an eye. In fact, although the original plan was like this, after receiving Gao Ran's summons, it also made him a little more cautious. If the Wu army can respond to the catapult, then it is not impossible for the navy to have another plan.

After two days of investigation, Cheng Zhi had already learned the situation of Peng Ze's army. It is precisely because of clarity that Cheng Zhi feels distressed.

According to the information obtained, there are quite a few Pengze naval troops, with 18,000 people, and the naval warships are nearly 1,000 in size, distributed in various key roads in Pengze. It can be said that this 18,000 sailors have woven a big net in Pengze, which can be called airtight.

Not to mention the strength, at least it is impossible to quietly pass through Peng Ze to Poyang.

After observing for another day, the news that Lu Xun led his troops to Peng Ze came, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he once again ordered to restrain the sergeants under his command so as not to expose his whereabouts.

At the same time, the news also reached Gao Ran outside Spring Valley City.

"Send troops to Pengze? For what? Could it be that you want to reinforce Lu Su? ”

Gao Ran felt a little strange, this Lu Su was gone, why did he need reinforcements?

Immediately after, the news Gao Ran received made him understand.

"It turned out that Qiao Yanglou bumped into the emergency report of Zheqi City when he was investigating, and stopped him, hehe...... It's really not a lot of luck! ”

Gao Ran's mind changed sharply, and he immediately had an idea, and immediately passed the book to Cheng Zhi, made a plan, and prepared to destroy all the way, and then sent a message to the person in charge of Qiao Yanglou in each city to block the news of Lu Su's defeat at all costs. (To explain, except for Gongsun Du and a few people, no one else knows that Qiao Yanglou is just a general name)

At this time, Yan Liang waited for a few days but didn't see half of Wu Jun, so he finally couldn't help it and hurried to the tent.

"Lao Gao, it's been a few days, shouldn't we do it?"

"Sit down first."

Gao Ran spoke, and called the guards outside the tent and asked him to invite the accompanying military craftsmen to come over.

The accompanying military craftsman came quickly, but it was not a cup of tea.

"Deputy Governor!"

Gao Ran bowed his head slightly and asked, "I don't know how to prepare?" ”

The accompanying military craftsman arched his hand and said: "Coupled with the previous survival, there are now more than 1,100 stone bullets." ”

"Well, I'm tired."

Gao Ran said, looked at Yan Liang again, saw the eagerness on his face, and couldn't help snickering twice, and said, "Old Yan, just according to what you say." ”

"Okay, let's go and prepare."

Yan Liang was overjoyed and walked away quickly.

Gao Ran shook his head and didn't care, just put on his helmet and took the saber and long knife before leaving the tent.

A moment passes.

The gate of the Ming army's camp was opened, and a neat and mighty army drove out and rushed straight to the spring valley city in the east.

Naturally, such a movement could not be concealed from Wu Jun in Spring Valley City, and he quickly responded.

After laying out the formation, Gao Ran carefully watched the defense of Spring Valley City through the binoculars, and then waved his hand: "Let's move the catapult!" ”

"The deputy governor has an order~"

"Catapult Preparation~"

In the sound of "booming", Gao Lan saw that there was no movement at all at the head of the Spring Valley City, and the screams were also sparse and tight, and he immediately understood the plan. The seemingly dense figure at the head of the city should actually be a straw, not a real person.

"Perhaps, all those screams are fake, if not all, but some of them are fake."

Gao Ran muttered a few words, his eyes sank, and he thought again: It's just that I heard that the defender of Spring Valley City is an unknown person, why is he so capable of making such an arrangement?

Turning his mind around, Gao Ran did not want to waste the stone bullets, so he ordered the catapult to stop attacking.

Yan Liang didn't notice anything wrong, and was quite puzzled when he saw this, and said, "Old Gao, why did you stop?" ”

Gao Ran didn't explain, but said: "Old Yan, the Wu army is too cowardly to defend, why don't you attack the city yourself?" ”

Yan Liang's eyes lit up, and he responded happily: "Okay!" So-and-so is going. ”
