Chapter 150 is one step too late
Wang Wei, a general trusted by Liu Biao and Kuai Yue, is now more than Chinese New Year's Eve, with a dark complexion and a rustic atmosphere, as if he is a fisherman.
In fact, Wang Wei was indeed a fisherman when he was young, and later became a general by chance, and then learned to read and write.
Even if you can read and write, your culture is not high, and you can't understand a slightly esoteric article.
Wang Wei is responsible for guarding the city gate of Xiangyang, and his position is very important. But Wang Wei did not live in the barracks all the time, only about half of the time he stayed in the barracks, and when Wang Wei was not in the barracks, the battalion Sima or the rest of the generals commanded the army.
And Wang Wei's mansion is also in Beicheng.
Wang Wei has been staying in the mansion for the past few days, Cai Mao knew so he came directly to Wang Wei's mansion, Wang Wei heard that Cai Mao was coming, so he naturally went out to greet him, and the two sides sat down in Wang Wei's study.
"Why do the military advisors have time to look for me?" Wang Wei was dressed well, but his demeanor and tone were vulgar.
Cai Mao smiled bitterly and said, "The military situation is urgent. ”
"Military emergency? How can there be military intelligence? Could it be that Sun Quan's gang attacked Jiangxia again? Does the lord want me to reinforce Huang Taishou? Wang Wei's eyes widened, very angry.
If you talk about seniority, Wang Wei is the same generation as Sun Jian. When Sun Jian attacked Xiangyang, Wang Weiguan visited Sima of the other department, and also went out of the city to fight Sun Jian, but he was defeated.
Wang Wei was worried about this matter, and seeing that the two juniors of the Sun family actually took the opportunity to become bigger and counterattack Jingzhou, he had long wanted to meet Sun Quan.
"General Wang was a little restless, but it was not Jiangdong Sun Quan, but Xinye Guanping who attacked the three counties of Fangling." Cai Mao briefly explained the matter and thought to herself.
"If Sun Quan also attacked Jiangxia, it would be really bad."
"Guan Yu, didn't you just form an alliance with the lord? The two sides have also become sons and daughters, why did they go south to invade the three counties of Shangyong? Wang Wei frowned deeply, and then said angrily: "The Guan family's father and son are really treacherous. ”
"This father and son are difficult to raise." Cai Mao thought so, and then said: "The lord ordered the general to command 10,000 elite soldiers, take a boat against the river to the west, go to the three counties, and attack Guan Ping before and after Shangyong Taishou Shen Tan, and be sure to take his head." ”
"Good. I set off immediately. Wang Wei immediately stood up and said, but then frowned and said, "Master Cai, there are many warships in Jingzhou that have fallen into disrepair, and they may be ready for a while?" ”
Cai Mao smiled bitterly when he heard this, of course, the Jingzhou warship was in disrepair, but it was he and Zhang Yun who worked together and reaped a lot of benefits.
I thought that Jingzhou Chengping would have no war, so he would take the opportunity to collect money, and he knew that he shouldn't have been so ruthless.
Cai Mao regretted it in her heart, but she would never admit that she was corrupt. He just said: "It will take three or five days for the ships and supplies to be ready." ”
Wang Weiren is vulgar, but he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be valued by Liu Biao and Kuai Yue. He knew what was going on, but he wouldn't say anything.
Just a wry smile.
This news has come and gone, I am afraid that Guan Ping has been in Fangling for two or three days, and wait for another three days, if the situation is not good, it will take one or two days.
I hope that the Shangyong Shen brothers can hold on for a while.
It really took four days for Cai Mao to gather supplies and warships and send Wang Wei away. Liu Biao was furious because of this incident, but Cai Mao found a few scapegoats to make Liu Biao angry, and he was not implicated.
The dispatch of troops has been delayed for a long time, and Wang Wei's luck is not good, it has been blowing winds these days, and the northwest wind is still blowing.
The Han River went upstream, and most of the time it relied on the soldiers to shake the oars, and the waterway between Xiangyang and the three counties took almost two days.
At this moment, Guan Ping was already stationed on Miliang Mountain, and the Shangyong Shen brothers had already surrendered.
At the same time, the news came from the north that Guan Yu attacked Fancheng day and night, and there were many casualties among the soldiers on both sides.
Xiangyang also had to give more troops and materials to support Wenpin.
In this battle to cross the river, it is important to find the appropriate water area to cross the river. The reason why Ma Tan chose to camp on Miliang Mountain is because the waters in the north of Miliang Mountain are an excellent ferry.
If the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou come by water, it is possible to choose this ferry to cross the river, if the other party crosses the river, the defenders on the rice grain mountain can be condescending, like a bamboo.
The art of war, half-crossing and attacking.
In the afternoon of this day, the weather was not good, it was gloomy and the northwest wind was very strong.
After Wang Wei arrived at this ferry, he ordered the warships to dock on the north shore and set up camp. The warships docked on the shore and sent people to garrison them.
A camp, the first to be set up is always the Chinese army's big tent.
In the tent, Wang Wei sat and ate wine with his battalion Sima Wang Yanda. At this time, the surrender of the Shen brothers had already been rumored.
"The mediocre Shen family brother claimed to be a soldier, but he was broken by Guan Ping, the general corner boy, and it took a few days to gather the Communist Party, and he was really a person who deceived the world and stole his name." Wang Wei was very angry, took a sip of wine, and put the wine glass on the case, making the wooden case tremble.
Camp Sima Wang Yan nodded approvingly, and said worriedly: "According to Mr. Kuai's strategy, it is to attack Guan Ping back and forth with the Shen family brothers. Now Guan Ping has captured Shangyong and sent troops to be stationed on Miliang Mountain. It is impossible to flank the front and back, and now there are only 10,000 of our elite soldiers. And the rice grain mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention that if it is to cross the river, it is inevitable that Guan Ping will take the opportunity to intercept it. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Yan really thought of a strategy, and couldn't help but say: "Miliang Mountain is the main road to Fangling, but then along the water, there are also several roads that can lead to Fangling, Shangyong." Why don't you enter the three counties from other roads, occupy a few cities first, and then slow down? ”
"If the southeast wind is blowing, we can naturally go up the river and go fast. But now it was a northwesterly wind, and the boat was all driven by the oars, and the boat could not go faster than the soldiers on foot. Guan Ping only needs to arrange spies to listen to our movements, and he can block our crossing at any time. So it's the same no matter where you cross the river from. ”
Wang Wei shook his head and said.
All in all, it was not so easy for the army to cross the river.
"How's that to be? Do you just stop on the shore and don't leave? Wang Yan saw that neither the left nor the right was either, so he couldn't help but worry.
Wang Wei shook his head and said, "Tomorrow, the army will cross the river and line up on the south bank." ”
"This. Guan Ping is entrenched in the rice grain mountain, and he is condescending and powerful. If he takes advantage of the opportunity to attack, we will not be able to stop it. Wang Yan hesitated.
"Half-crossing, but thinking the other way around, you can lure the enemy. Xinye is only so many, I guess Guan Ping went south to the three counties with not many soldiers and horses, and the people on the mountains are probably only three or five thousand. When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. Tomorrow, we will seize the time to transport 2,000 elite soldiers and wait in formation. Guan Ping will come down to attack us, and when the time comes, Wang Sima, you will fight hard and drag Guan Ping, we have a large army, and we can go ashore in a steady stream. ”
Wang Wei said.
This is a plan to lure the enemy into going deeper.
As soon as Wang Yan thought that this strategy was feasible, he said goodbye to Wang Wei and left, went down to rest and recuperate, and then crossed the river tomorrow.
Although Wang Wei formulated a strategy, he knew in his heart that this strategy was extremely risky. Although he had many soldiers and horses, he could only gather 2,000 men and horses in a hurry when he crossed the river and then set up a formation.
The other party is condescending and can be overwhelming.
It's very difficult to resist.
Moreover, the other party's general should not be underestimated, but the captain Gan Ning.
None of the generals in Shinno can be taken lightly. But fortunately, the most powerful and capable Guan Yu, Zhang Fei is not there, but Gan Ning.
Wang Wei only hoped that Yu Ganning was not too powerful, and he could not disperse his men and horses in a short time, so that the reinforcements in his rear could continue to cross the river.
On the rice grain mountain, on the camp gate. Guan Ping and Ma Jian stood side by side on the camp gate, looking down at the mountain, Wang Wei's camp on the other side of the Han River, and the countless warships on the shore.
"The banner is the king, it must be Wang Wei, the general of Jingzhou, this person should not be underestimated." Guan Ping said.
Guan Ping had some impressions of Wang Wei, because in history Wang Wei was the only one who suggested that Liu Cong send troops to capture Cao Cao after Liu Cong's surrender.
"Cao Cao learned that the general (referring to Liu Cong) had surrendered and Liu Bei had left, so he would inevitably be unprepared and march alone; If you give me thousands of strange soldiers and invite them to attack in a dangerous place, you will definitely be able to capture Cao Cao. Capturing Cao Cao can shock the world, sit and walk tigers, although the land of midsummer is wide, it can be passed on, this is not just a victory to protect today. This is a rare opportunity that cannot be missed. ”
If Liu Cong uses Wang Wei's strategy, maybe he can really take Boss Cao by surprise, and maybe he will take Boss Cao down. According to Wang Wei's strategy, the text will spread all over the world, so the world may be divided equally between Liu Cong and Sun Quan.
It's a pity that Liu Cong's children can't use it.
So for such a person, Guan Ping attaches great importance to it.
"Youchang, how do you think Wang Wei will act?" Guan Ping then turned his head and asked Ma Yandao.
"Wang Wei is brave and resourceful, and he has many soldiers and horses, and I guess he will try to cross the river tomorrow. Tomorrow is a narrow road to meet, and the brave wins. It's a pity that Captain Gan is not here, otherwise it will be nine out of ten. ”
Ma Tan sighed.
The Shangyong Shen brothers have recently surrendered, and the people are unpredictable, and they can't be killed immediately.
Not to mention the impact on reputation, there are too many old brothers of the Shen family, and if they kill these two brothers, maybe there will be chaos in the city, and it will involve more energy.
So Guan Ping has instructed Gan Ning to find an opportunity to kill the two brothers, and it will only be after the war.
If Gan Ning is of course nine out of ten here, condescending and powerful, and there are generals attacking, how can he be unstable?
"Give the order and gather the soldiers." Guan Ping hesitated for a moment and said.
"Why are you summoning the soldiers?" Ma Tan was a little surprised, what are you doing when you are waiting for work? Besides, even if they went crazy and wanted to cross the river to attack Wang Wei's camp, they would not have a boat.
"Promise to boost morale with a lot of money, tomorrow I will wear double armor and attack it from the mountain." Guan Ping plucked up his courage and made the decision of a big husband.
It takes courage to make that decision.
This is the ancient times when tetanus could kill you.
Standby is an example.
Guan Ping is a person who will never go to the battlefield easily unless he has to. Practicing martial arts diligently, just to save his life. But this time it can't be helped.
The three counties are too important. Even if you can't defeat Wang Wei, even if you win a small victory here, it is of great significance.
Ma Tan was stunned.
"Can you do it?" Ma Tan blurted out. Although he knew that Guan Ping practiced martial arts diligently, he didn't know how effective Guan Ping was.
If you cower in battle, isn't it a bad thing?
Guan Ping's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Of course I can." ”
