Chapter 608: Opportunity
The young man's name is Zhou Yu, the son of Zhou Yi in Luoyang, and he is friends with Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian.
is young, has already shown enough talent, and is the military advisor that Sun Jian relies on the most under Sima Fang. And he is not only a qualified strategist, but also a better general, and after accumulating more experience, he can completely take charge of himself.
Sima Fang didn't come with him this time, not that Sun Jian didn't trust him anymore. But this alliance crusaded against the Han, and Sun Jian was not optimistic. Sima Fang continued to seize the places in Jiangnan and continued to consolidate the fortifications, which was the key.
Sun Jian didn't bring many troops when he went north this time, mainly because he didn't have so many cavalry. The foot soldiers didn't mean much to the Han army, and in the end, they brought over the 3,000 cavalry from their families, and that's all.
"Judging from the other party's reaction, it is obvious that the subordinates guessed correctly." Zhou Yu said slowly, "The other party will have the means, and he will probably know the direction of some things." However, at present, they can't know the specific location, they can only judge it through wrong, which is also the most fortunate thing! ”
Sun Jian's baggage is not in the city at all, but in the mountains and forests near the city. The problem is that this mountain forest also belongs to the scope of XX County.
In order to confirm some of these ideas, some docks, manors and castles were also appropriately placed with some baggage, but in small proportions. The main thing is to set up a maze, but also to transfer risks.
"It seems that the supplies can be transported to a certain place individually. The other party has no ability to know the exact direction at all, and besides, we can't let the gentry take too many risks for us. Zhou Yu added.
The main thing is that it is not believed that for the sake of profit, the gentry class can do anything. The family and the country, for the sake of the continuation of the family, are obedient on the surface, but secretly contact the Han army in private, it is estimated that there are not a few.
Let's just say that the Guangling Chen family, on the one hand, obediently serves Zhang Chao, on the other hand, Chen Duan, a child in the family, has come to the door and appeared under Sun Jian, and said that if Sun Jian goes north, the Chen family is willing to be driven, obviously he has already been signaled by the clan.
It's no wonder that people prepared early, that Zhang Chao is Zhang Miao's younger brother, how did Zhang Miao get on the throne? In the final analysis, it was the name of the 'Eight Chefs' that was smashed with money, and then it was requisitioned. His younger brother had no courage, but not much political talent.
It's reluctant to be too guarded, let alone an emperor. Besides, when he succeeded to the throne, it was not justifiable, and they all felt that this Qi country would be finished sooner or later, and it was not wrong to find the next home as soon as possible.
Everyone is a family, and Zhou Yu has to find an excuse for others, otherwise he won't be scolding himself.
"This must also be done, and now the question is, do we have a way to make the Han army suffer some losses?" Sun Jian actually wanted to know something else.
"Your Highness, unless we can make the Han army impatient, we don't have any chance at the moment." Zhou Yu reminded that the Han army still gave Sun Jian too much shadow, and he needed a victory to make himself confident.
Of course, this is a bit redundant, and he still needs some dry goods, so he thought about it and continued: "When they don't get much supplies, they will slowly become impatient. In the future, we may be able to appropriately win over the local squires, and this is our opportunity! ”
On the other hand, the twists and turns sent to Luoyang have finally been restored. Liu Tao agreed to give certain preferential treatment to the gentry who cooperated, but there was one condition, and there were only three places for each county.
You don't need too much of this thing, too much is cheap. On the contrary, if there are only three, then naturally there will be people fighting. It doesn't matter if there is no one, if you create a little bit of this illusion, then naturally some people will be ready to move.
Liu Tao still didn't plan to give it, but in the end, it was persuaded by Guo Jia and others to relax a little.
Lu Bu and the others, who received the reply, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, after all, they were really worried that His Majesty would not agree. The results are not bad, and there is a lot of room for manoeuvre.
So soon, the several counties affected by the Han army immediately spread new news. As long as you can point out where the rebels are located, or where the supplies are stored, then those who have become officials can retain their official positions. If there is no official, the children of the family can be given certain bonus points when they participate in the scientific examination.
This news was very attractive to the local gentry, especially the officials. In fact, many people can see that the general trend of the Han Dynasty to dominate the world is inevitable.
The problem is that if you surrender now, you still have to participate in the assessment, not to mention participating in the assessment, even if you pass, you have to be transferred to a remote place to be an official for a few years, and then you can be transferred back again.
Those who have the ability are not in a hurry, but those who are not capable are in a hurry. This Hefei County Commander immediately found the Han Army, of course, not by himself, but sent his son to contact, saying that he had received the news that Yuan Shubu had transported a large amount of materials in the direction of Zipeng Mountain, not far from Hefei County.
At the same time, he said that the materials in the counties and the surrounding squire manors and dock forts were only a small part, and they were even quickly transported away during this time.
"What do you think?" Lu Bu looked at the people at the bottom of the group.
"The last general thinks the news should be true." Zhang Liao replied, "At least part of it is true! ”
"Do we have any other choice?" Zhang Fei's side replied lightly.
What if you don't believe it, and others will dare to come and report in the future? If the two sides cannot trust each other, then cooperation will not be possible.
"Can't you use the Celestial Eye Technique to look over there?" Xu Shu tried to ask.
"It's said that it's a mountain forest, and the vegetation is dense and covers a lot of things. They were obviously also aware of the flaws of the Heavenly Eye Technique, so they deliberately chose this terrain. Lu Bu replied, and Zhang Fei also nodded.
Even if you use a scroll, it's just a waste.
"In that case, let's choose to trust each other a little!" Xu Shu said with a smile.
Two days later, Sun Jian sent back new information. The Han army sent 3,000 soldiers to start south, all of them were mainly foot soldiers, and at a glance they knew that they were preparing for entering the mountains and forests.
"Haha, I was fooled!" Sun Jian was overjoyed, the squire who went out to tell the whistle was exactly what he instructed him to do.
But some things are not fake. For example, earlier, Zipeng Mountain was indeed the place where they stored a large amount of supplies. For example, the baggage from all over the country has indeed been transported, and even if they search it now, they will not be able to find anything.
"All that's left is to use the advantages of the mountains and forests to cut them open, and then break them individually!" Zhou Yu didn't react on the surface, but secretly clenched his fists. If you can inflict actual damage on the Han army, then you will inevitably become famous all over the world.
However, you must also take precautions, the enemy is not a pure reckless man......
