Chapter 195: Small Actions of Each Family
When Qin and Chu confronted each other in Shu, the beacon fire on the land of the Three Jin Dynasty had just been extinguished. The confidence of the Zhao family to dare to come to Yecheng lies in the Chu State in the south, which naturally does not want a strong warlord to appear in the Central Plains.
In order to contain the royalist forces like Lu Zhan, the Chu State naturally hoped to find an ally to contain this force from the north.
The Zhao family also wanted to contain Lu Zhan's footsteps, so Chu Guo and the Zhao family hit it off.
"Dear Lord Lu, this covenant is clearly written in black and white, and the dignified viscount wants to repay the debt." The attitude of the Zhao family's envoy was unusually tough.
Was the courage of the Zhao family's envoy given by Liang Jingru, Lu Zhan still asked tentatively, "I don't know if the Zhao family still has any hole cards, let's show it as soon as possible." Let's not go around in circles. ”
"I don't know if the lord still remembers General Jingwen of the Chu State."
As soon as he arrived at Jingwen of the Chu State, Lu Zhan instantly remembered the famous general of the Chu State. The performance in the battle in the capital is also beyond ordinary people, and the use of soldiers can be regarded as a generation of military gods.
A silent army in the mountains quietly approached the capital, and the companions of the soldiers were soldiers and horses from the Chu State. The general who led the troops was none other than Jing Wen, a famous general of the Chu State, who breathed the fresh air in the mountains and looked at these elites of the Chu State who were good at climbing mountains and mountains.
These Danyang elite soldiers were rare high-quality infantry in the world, while the other soldiers were all composed of mountain people from Chudi. These mountain people walked on the mountains as if they were walking on flat ground, and the Wudang Flying Army during the Three Kingdoms period was composed of mountain people.
The sentries patrolling outside the barracks watched as many figures gradually walked out of the mountains, and saw that after those figures gradually formed a battle formation and waved the banner of the Chu State, the sound of gongs and drums came from the entire barracks.
A sound of enemy attacks spread throughout the military camp, and at this moment, the gap between the Qin army and the imperial court soldiers and horses was fully revealed. The Qin army was quickly ready for war, while the imperial court was still in disarray.
That battle was the most brutal battlefield Lu Zhan had ever experienced, with a lot of bones, and the soldiers and horses of the Qin army, the Chu army, the rebel army, and the imperial court had been constantly fighting. The people of the capital did not dare to open the door, for fear that the rebellious army would break in.
At the end of the conversation, Mo Zhu got up and said goodbye, "Sir, I came this time on the orders of the lord and brought some good hands, and we will help the lord to completely control Yanzhou." ”
"How do I get in touch with you?" Looking at Mo Zhu, who was about to walk out of the living room, Lu Zhan asked.
"Yong'an Inn in the east of the city, with the shopkeeper is looking for a Qin merchant who sells leather goods."
After finishing Mozhu, he disappeared into the night, and Lu Zhan, who was sitting alone in the living room, got up and went to the study to prepare to write an outline of his future plan. Land, peasants, commerce, and military are all huge projects, no wonder Zhuge Wuhou died early, these tasks are too complicated to add to one person.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lu Zhan rubbed his eyes and got up to go to dinner, and after dinner, Lu Zhan lay alone on the big bed. After moving to his own palace, he basically had a room per person, and it was a little lonely to think that there was no one to accompany him.
It's better to go to Zhen Yuehua's room, it just so happens that the two of them don't have a round room.
"I don't know if Yue'er hasn't slept either, will this be too abrupt." Lu Zhan muttered to himself as he walked.
An old man sat on a chair and looked at the map, and picked up the secret letter sent by his subordinates, "It's not so easy for the Zhi family to expand its power. Inform you to do something about the granary of the boundary bridge. ”
Jieqiao as the Jin Zhijia north-south transfer hub, since the southern reserve Shucheng was attacked, then the grain and grass must be mobilized from the north, through the river to facilitate the distribution of grain and grass.
The Zhao family and the Zhongli family have always been allies, so the Zhao family's preparation for a sneak attack on the boundary bridge was also supported by the Zhongli family.
The troops who went to the Boundary Bridge to sneak attack were all elite or dead, after all, they couldn't give the Zhi family a handle on the surface. Lu Zhan didn't expect that there would be such a group of people in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom to support him indirectly.
The soldiers guarding the boundary bridge covered the grain ships and convoys that traveled from south to north with customs clearance documents and various documents, and the work of many days made these soldiers in a state of fatigue for a long time.
"It's okay to have a convoy with incomplete formalities today, right?" A soldier supports a tired body with a spear.
"Recruits are recruits, of course it is suspicious in the past, but at the moment there will be a big move in the south, urgently mobilizing grain and grass from the north to the south, and it is common for the time to be urgent and the procedures are not complete." This veteran began to mock the recruits, after all, he has been working for so many years, and this experience is still there.
The bridge was unusually quiet at night, except for the footsteps of the night patrol soldiers, except for the sharp swords of bats flying in the night sky
"Are you all ready?"
"Everything is ready to be continued, and it's time to do it."
The convoy with problematic procedures began to act quietly, and the carriage originally loaded with grain and grass contained weapons and armor, after all, there were so many convoys that came and went naturally not to be carefully checked.
Looking at the brothers who were dressed in armor and holding sharp knives that were shining in the cold light, the leader made a gesture.
"Huh? Do you see that there seems to be a bunch of dark shadows approaching below? ”
"It's probably a bat or something like that, it can't be your eyes, I'll take a look."
Looking down through the moonlight, the soldier's eyes were almost straight. These black shadows were all clad in armor that reflected silver light in the moonlight, why did these well-armed soldiers appear here quietly?
Now there is only one viable explanation, these people are here to sneak attack.
"Enemy attack! Alert! The shrill bell rang at the same time, and the sleeping defenders rushed to the city gate with their weapons in hand, without thinking about putting on their clothes.
The dead soldiers who had begun to assemble knew that their actions had been revealed, but they had no choice but to fire them.
"Brothers, kill!"
The hastily assembled soldiers were beheaded by the dead soldiers in a daze, and the peace of war fell to the side of the sneak attackers.
Countless dead soldiers rushed to the city gates, accompanied by the last soldier guarding the city gate and fell in a pool of blood
The heavy gate was slowly opened, and the people on standby outside the city saw that the gate was forced and urged the horses under them to rush into the city. The sound of horses' hooves from outside the city intensified the collapse of the city's defenders, and many soldiers became prisoners in a daze, and when they looked at the flames that lit up half of the night sky in front of them, they knew that the grain and grass had been burned.
"Very good, we can withdraw when the operation is complete."
With the fire of the boundary bridge, most of the grain and grass prepared by the Zhi family for the battle were lost. Only a small part of the grain and grass transported from the north reached the border between the Jin Kingdom and Yanzhou.
