Qin Qiong didn't return overnight, Sun Xiangfu knew that the strategy he was talking about was adopted by Li Shimin, since Li Shimin dared to launch the Xuanwumen Change, he was definitely a risk-taking master, so when Sun Xiangfu went to the office the next morning, the desk was placed on the desk of the Ministry of War to recruit all the boats and boats of the Fisheries Department.

"Hey, I shot myself in the foot."

When Sun Xiangfu sighed in the yazhong, the matter was not over, and a holy decree was passed to the Fisheries Department by the inner servant.

"There is a pastoral supervisor under the Fisheries Department of the Animal Husbandry Supervision Bureau, Sun Xiangfu, who is proficient in shipping affairs, familiar with the waterways around Chang'an, and has been specially ordered to inspect the Jingzhou Road marching Sima, and he will take up his post immediately."

"Your sister! This is to send my brother to the battlefield. ”

Sun Xiangfu accepted the order with a bloodless face, and immediately a group of soldiers stood in front of him with swords, and in the future, these soldiers were the personal guards he could call.

"Come on, go to the Yiguo Mansion and call my guard Xi Jun to buy it and see me in the yashang."

was about to go to the battlefield, Sun Xiangfu remembered that his guards came, but half an hour later, Xi Junmai did not come alone, along with Qin Hu and the three hundred guards of the Yiguo Mansion, all of them were fully armed, obviously Qin Qiong was worried about his safety, and spared no effort to send all his forces to protect him.

"Sun Sima, the 100,000 stone grain and grass requisitioned by Your Majesty and more than 300 transport ships of all sizes can be assembled at Weishui Wharf tomorrow at the latest, there is a military order, within three days of General Wei Chi's army entering Jingzhou, the grain and grass of our waterway army must be sent to the army, otherwise, the lightly armed cavalry army will not have enough food and grass, and there may be a big change." Zhang Mingyuan, a subordinate officer of the military commander, said.

Although Sun Xiangfu, the marching Sima of the inspection school, was a grain officer, Li Shimin did not dare to let a person with no war experience lead the army, so he sent him two subordinate officials, one was named Zhang Mingyuan, Zhang Liang's righteous son, and the other was Liu Renjing, who was Liu Hongji's cousin. If it weren't for Li Shimin's three major naval army generals, Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Liang, and Liu Hongji, who were not in Beijing, it would not be Sun Xiangfu's turn to lead the grain soldiers on this road.

"What, order our department, prepare more bows and crossbows, and assemble at Weishui Wharf."

Sun Xiangfu has no experience in war, but he has watched a lot of film and television dramas, and knows that water warfare kills the enemy, mainly with bows and arrows, so he issued such a military order, and then took Xi Junmai and a cadre of people, braved the cold wind, and went to Weishui Wharf.

Among the more than 300 ships, there are only 20 real warships, and the Datang naval army is mainly deployed in Jingxiang and Huainan, guarding the states and counties along the Yangtze River in the south, yes, the number of troops under Sun Xiangfu is not much, 5,000 people, plus 2,000 people who operate the boats, dispersed to each ship, and there are 20 slightly larger warships, each ship can have 200 soldiers, and these 200 soldiers are not all good at water warfare, they will be dizzy as soon as they get on the boat, at least half, they can stand firm, open the bow and shoot arrows, less than 20%, no way, Most of the people in Guanzhong are not good at water!

In fact, such an army can only do the work of running errands and delivering grain, and after waiting on the wharf for the grain and grass to be loaded, the boats and boats immediately march in the direction of Jingzhou.

"You buy it! When you arrive in Jingzhou, you must not leave me more than a foot away, but I have opened a fortune for you, entrusted by people, and you know the truth of loyalty! ”

On the flagship, Sun Xiangfu put armor on his body, and at the same time bitterly bought from Xi Jun, who was playing with a military bow next to him.

"Okay, okay, isn't it the last battlefield? With me, I'll keep you fine. Xi Junmai was annoyed by what he said, he just wanted to find something to plug his ears, a military bow was easily pulled into a full circle by him, and then pulled it again after he let go, it seems that he has been practicing swinging the knife for a few days, and his arm strength has grown again.

Sun Xiangfu put a layer of armor on his body, and still felt unreliable, so he found a large one, and put on another layer, and after the set, he felt that the helmet was not secure, and his whole face was exposed, which was too unsafe, so he made a pair of face armor, and exposed two eye holes outside, so that he could feel at ease, you know, the Turks are good at riding and shooting, in case they are hit by stray arrows, and their lives will be over.

After two days of sailing against the current, the fleet finally arrived at the agreed place in Jingzhou, but did not see the army led by Wei Chigong, you know, Wei Chigong's army only brought three days of dry food, and he set off a day ahead of the fleet, and now there should be no food to eat, he is not waiting here, do you want to starve yourself to death?

Soon, Sun Xiangfu knew the reason, the Turkic cavalry was 200,000, the plate was too big, and the piece they agreed on had been occupied by the Turks, that is, they did not go ashore, otherwise, they would be greeted by the Turkic iron cavalry.

"Sun Sima, at this time, you should send cavalry scouts ashore to find the whereabouts of the army of the Duke of E." Liu Renjing suggested to Sun Xiangfu.

"Well, you're right, quickly order the scouts ashore to find the whereabouts of the army, and tell them to hide themselves and not be captured by the Turks."

For the suggestions put forward by the subordinate officers when he was in command, Sun Xiangfu had one thing to listen to, after all, he didn't understand anything and had never fought before, which made him seem very hasty.

In the whole team, there are only the guards sent by Qin Qiong who can serve as scouts, Qin Hu personally went out on horse, selected thirty people, put down the war horse after landing, and they rode away.

"Yu Chi Lao Hei, don't let anything happen to you! In case he was trampled on Chang'an by the Turks, Ge Ke would become a sinner through the ages. ”

Sun Xiangfu prayed to God and worship Buddha in his heart, and all his actions were recorded by a sergeant on the ship, and may be reported to Li Shimin in the future, who was one of Li Shimin's secret guards in the army.

Since Li Shimin adopted Qin Qiong's suggestion and decided to fight with Jieli, the whole history has changed, which actually has little impact on Sun Xiangfu, because he doesn't know much real historical data, and he is used to living a life of peace with what happens, and he usually looks for him for things, and he never takes the initiative to find trouble.

At dusk, things came to him again.

"It's Turkic cavalry, and it looks like there are three or four thousand men and horses."

Zhang Mingyuan, Liu Renjing, and Sun Xiangfu, who was forcibly pulled to the deck, saw the scene on the shore, once the number of horse teams exceeds 100, it will make people feel very large at a glance, three or four thousand horses, enough to fill the coast within a range of hundreds of meters, Sun Xiangfu didn't dare to imagine the scene of 200,000 iron horses appearing in front of him together, then I'm afraid it is overwhelming, full of eyes?

"What's the situation?"

Sun Xiangfu, the little white man on the battlefield, gave full play to his studious spirit of asking questions if he didn't understand, Zhang Mingyuan had to give him a blank look and explained, "It should be the Turkic cavalry who discovered our fleet, and it was expected that we were sending grain and grass to General Wei Chi, so they sent this team of cavalry to bite us to death along the river bank to prevent General Wei Chi from obtaining grain and grass." ”

"In this way, Wei Chi Lao Hei has not been defeated yet, this cavalry, can we eat it?" The whereabouts of the fleet are exposed, once it is bitten by the cavalry on the shore, don't think about getting rid of it again, the Guanzhong Plain is flat, and the speed of the galloping horses far exceeds the loaded ships, if you don't defeat this cavalry, Wei Chigong can't get food.

Hearing this, Zhang Mingyuan and Liu Renjing shook their heads almost at the same time, among which Zhang Mingyuan said, "Our army has only more than 100 horses with ships, and the enemy army is at least three or four thousand, and the follow-up may be able to reinforce at any time, and the combat power of the Turkic cavalry is not inferior to my Tang cavalry. ”

"Could it be that our people can't do anything here?" Sun Xiangfu asked when he heard this.

"Well, this, maybe there is a way, it's just that the subordinates haven't thought of it for a while." Zhang Mingyuan and Liu Renjing lowered their heads in shame.

Xi Junmai, who was on Sun Xiangfu's side, felt that the Turks had nothing to fear, if he went ashore and stabbed one by one, he should use their heads to practice wielding the knife, so he said, "You can hand over the cavalry to me to lead, I will go ashore every two hours to rush and kill, each time I kill one or two hundred Turkic barbarians, at most one or two days, I can kill all the Turkic cavalry." ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu only said speechlessly in his heart, "What kind of self-confidence makes you dare to pretend to be so big?" Do you really think you are Changshan Zhao Zilong? If you want to kill seven in and seven out among the ten thousand armies, you have to see if the opponent is Cao Cao, who loves talent! Let you lead a handful of people to go ashore immediately, and it is estimated that they will be shot into hedgehogs in less than a quarter of an hour. ”

Dragging the heavy armor, Sun Xiangfu began to close his eyes and meditate after returning to the cabin, his biggest advantage over the ancients is that he is good at using his brain, knowing that there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved.

At dusk, the Turkic cavalry on the shore lit a bonfire, began to roast beef and mutton, and made dinner, Sun Xiangfu also thought hard for two hours to no avail, hungry, ready to go to the bottom cabin to eat, saw the fire on the shore blown by the northwest wind from a distance, Sun Xiangfu suddenly had an idea.

In the Tang Dynasty, the big ships were hung with sails, like the huge fleet led by Sun Xiangfu, the smallest of which was a load of hundreds of stones, without relying on the wind, people couldn't row at all, at this time it was the autumn and winter season, the cold wind in Guanzhong was raging, and the wind provided power for the boat, Sun Xiangfu didn't believe that he was tired of the horses on the shore.

Soon, Sun Xiangfu convened everyone to discuss the matter.

"Zhang Mingyuan, order all the ships to set sail, from the beginning of dark, the fleet must keep moving with the direction of the wind, the cavalry on the shore wants to bite us to death, let them chase us!"

"Liu Renjing, order all the idle shipwrights and men to pack the grain and grass into a fixed amount, fry the millet and chop the horse grass, and put it in the bow of the ship in three days' amount, ready to help the army on the shore at any time."

"Xi Junmai, order you to lead a hundred Qin Mansion guards, ready to go ashore at any time to raid a small group of Turkic cavalry."

The so-called "ready to raid" is to stay recharged, that is, to sleep, and as soon as you are called to wake up, you can immediately go into battle.

After the three of them finished their work according to Sun Xiangfu's assignment, the fleet soon set off.

"Sun Sima, we can easily leave the agreed supply point, if General Wei Chi can't find us, won't we be defeated by running out of food?" Zhang Mingyuan roughly understood what Sun Xiangfu meant, at present, it is indeed the best policy to use this tired strategy, but it also brings uncertainty to the future, the army runs out of food, and the rout is inevitable.

"If we stay here and don't leave, General Wei Chi will definitely die, don't worry! Guanzhong is our home field, Eguo Gong will not be starved to death so easily, we lead thousands of Turkic people to run along the river, such a big movement, it is impossible for him not to receive the news, if the operation is clever, he will be able to avoid the main Turkic cavalry and eat this force of men and horses. ”
