Chapter Seventy-Eight: Lujiang Can't Be Lost

The family is now moving, which means that the foreign enemies that Yangzhou will face will soon come.

Now about thirty percent of the families in Yangzhou have made up their minds to fight Yuan Shu to the end, and although the rest of the families will not participate in it, they will secretly pull Yuan Shu's hind legs because of greed.

Seventy percent of officials are lazy, and only two percent of them are in turmoil. This is the result of the compromise between Yuan Shu and the family.

Otherwise, Tian Feng and others would not only face the dismissal of these two officials, but more than seventy percent, or even more than eighty percent.

At that time, the entire Yangzhou will basically be paralyzed, and even if Yuan Shu defeats foreign enemies, there will be no way to manage and develop Yangzhou.

Within three or four days after Tian Feng received this list, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Ji Ling each received a piece of information.

The information in Zhang Liao's hands showed that Huang Zu had killed Yuzhang with an army of about 60,000.

Huang Zhong's intelligence showed that Cai Mao came to Lujiang with an army of about 80,000 along the river, so Huang Zhong quickly informed Gan Ning of the information and asked him to assist in the defense.

The information in Wei Yan's hand was that there were about 40,000 people in Yuzhou and Xuzhou each who coincidentally killed Jiujiang. Jiujiang is not in danger of the Yangtze River, Wei Yan knew that he could not hold it, so he asked Gao Shun for help according to Guo Jia's previous plan.

And the information in Ji Ling's hand is that more than 20,000 remnants of Shanyue have appeared near Danyang, and they are killing Danyang City. And more than 30,000 "bandits" also appeared near Jinling.

Countless hostile situations came like snowflakes, and the real Yangzhou instantly broke the peace and fell into a huge crisis.

"Strategist, what should I do?"

Ji Ling asked anxiously, and the faces of Ju Yi, Zhou Tai and Zhu Heng next to him were also a little bad.

Now the other generals are stationed on the front line, and only the remaining troops under Ju Yi and Ji Ling still have room for movement.

Fu Zhu and Tian Feng glanced at the huge Yangzhou sand table in front of them, but the expression on their faces was not nervous at all.

After a long time, he said: "It is difficult to defeat a foreign enemy in a short time. In order to prevent Yangzhou from suffering heavy losses, Yuan Hao, we must first deal with the Shanyue people and the group of bandits in Yangzhou. ”

At the mention of the word "bandit", a cold light flashed in Tian Feng's eyes.

"Lujiang has Huang Zhong stationed and Ganning to assist in defense, and there is no big problem. However, Zhang Liao of Yuzhang and Wei Yan and Gao Shun of Jiujiang faced a very dangerous situation, and Yuzhang could be lost, but Jiujiang must not be lost. ”

Tian Feng thought for a moment: "We now have 50,000 reinforcements. General Ji Ling still has 20,000 elite soldiers under his command. If you want to completely solve the enemy in Yangzhou, you need at least 40,000 troops to be safe. So we have 30,000 reinforcements to call into. ”

"Jiujiang can't afford to lose, Zhou Tai, next you will go to support with 20,000 reinforcements, and then directly command Lu Su. As for Yu Zhang, I hope Zhang Wenyuan can hold on a little longer. ”

Zhou Taiyi clenched his fists: "Take the order." ”

Although Zhou Tai was not suitable for leading troops, he was a first-class general after all, and he was much better than those second-rate generals who were not famous, so Tian Feng asked him to go to Jiujiang to support.

"Ju Yi, Zhu Heng, next Ju Yi led the lead to Dengjishi, and Zhu Heng led an army of 10,000 to Danyang County to suppress the Shanyue rebels. Remember, this time you don't need to care about whether you are captured alive or not, deal with this group of thieves as soon as possible, and then Zhu Heng will return to Jinling, and you will rush directly to Yuzhang to support Zhang Liao. Without further ado, let's go now."

Ju Yi and Zhu Heng clenched their fists after hearing this: "Take the order." ”

"General Ji Ling, next you take an army of 20,000 to attack the bandits near Jinling. Remember, it's important to be cautious and not careless. ”

Ji Ling also set off after receiving the order.

After the four of them left, he finally showed a trace of worry on his face, and said lightly: "Yuan Hao rest assured, Zhang Wenyuan can be entrusted with a heavy task by the lord, and he must be a general." Besides, Yuzhang and your little apprentice Fa Xiaozhi are here, and they can't be lost. ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he let go of the worry in his heart slightly.

Oh, yes! That little apprentice of mine is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Thinking of the little ghost who was very well-behaved and sensible, but ran away as soon as he met Guo Jia, Tian Feng smiled with relief.

Let Fengxiao beat for another two years, presumably this apprentice will basically not lose himself!

Guo Jia, who had just arrived in Lujiang, and Yuzhang's Fa Zheng suddenly sneezed at the same time.

This feeling, could it be that Fa Zheng (Guo Jia) bastard is nagging at me again?

"Guo Junshi, are you okay?"

In the Lujiang Taishou Mansion, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning were discussing the military situation with Guo Jia, and suddenly saw Guo Jia sneezing with a stinky face, and asked with concern.

Now that the enemy is about to hit him, Guo Jia can't have an accident!

Guo Jia touched his nose: "It's okay, it's just that there's a bastard who is talking to me." ”

Only then did Huang Zhong put his mind at ease and continued to look at the sand table in front of him worriedly.

"Military division, Jingzhou Cai Mao led an army of 80,000 to kill along the river, what should we do?"

Guo Jia looked at the three red flags on the sand table with a serious face.

"Xingba, can the 30,000 sailors under your command defeat Cai Mao's army?"

Gan Ning looked at the information in his hand, and his face was a little ugly: "Cai Mao's 80,000 sailors are not miscellaneous soldiers, there are many elites among them, and Cai Mao himself is also an outstanding sailor general." The last general can only guarantee that it will be delayed, and it may be impossible to defeat. ”

"Han Sheng, can the 30,000 sharpshooter battalion under your command withstand tens of thousands of troops?"

Huang Zhong said expressionlessly: "Fifty thousand." ”

Gan Ning said: "If General Huang is with me, Cai Mao's army can be broken in a snap of a finger. ”

Guo Jia was not as optimistic as Gan Ning: "Xingba, do you think that army in Yuzhou really went to attack Jiujiang?" ”

Gan Ning's face changed: "What does the military advisor mean?" ”

"Not to mention the real goal of this army, Yuzhou was previously controlled by the Yuan family, where the lord was located, and it was acceptable to only pull out an army of 40,000. But Xuzhou is also a big state, with countless wealthy gentry, how can it only pull out 40,000 troops? ”

Guo Jia took out another piece of information: "According to the information I have got, the army from Xuzhou to Jiujiang this time should be secretly commanded by Cao Bao of the Cao family in Xuzhou. ”

However, Chen Deng, the son of Chen Gui, the head of the Chen family, who is the head of the two major families in Xuzhou with the Cao family, also disappeared, but he didn't know where he was. Chen Dengzhi is no less talented than his father, and it is impossible for him to disappear for no reason. ”

"In other words, at least there is a large army hidden near Jiujiang and Lujiang, and if there is a little flaw in these two states, they may pounce at any time."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia said with a solemn face: "Just in case, General Huang must not move unless he has to." Gan Ning, you first lead 30,000 sailors to delay Cai Mao's army, and you must hold on for more than ten days. After Yuan Hao eliminated the rebels in Yangzhou, there were enough troops to come to support. When the time comes, the game will come alive. ”

After Gan Ning solemnly clenched his fists and promised, he turned around and left to lead the army to meet him.

And Huang Zhong said worriedly: "Guo Junshi, my Lujiang is fine, there are 60,000 troops. But Jiujiang is only 16,000, even if there is Gao Shun's trapped camp, I'm afraid it won't be enough to resist! ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Hansheng, you don't need to worry. Yuan Hao will definitely not sit idly by, and Danyang's reinforcements are definitely already on the way. You don't need to care about Jiujiang, even if Jiujiang loses most of it. As long as you can hold the Lujiang River, we rely on the risk of the Yangtze River, and Yangzhou can't lose it. ”

Huang Zhong nodded solemnly, Lujiang is the key!
