Chapter 137: Fiction and Reality
Jutie Mountain
Cao Jun planted heavy troops here, pretending that this was the only way for Cao's army to pass through the grain route, luring Sun Jun to spend useless time here, lose unnecessary troops, and order Xu Huang to lead his troops here.
Shi Yue got the help of Zhou Yu's 5,000 soldiers and went to Jutie Mountain.
"Kong Ming doesn't come with me, he really lets me come alone." Shi Yue complained. "What is there to tempt." "Why haven't the spies come back?"
After a while, the spies returned. "There is a trace of Cao Bing ahead, but I don't see where Cao Bing is?"
"Traces? Uninhabited. Be careful, the enemy doesn't know where to ambush? Shi Yue reminded everyone.
"How is the general now?" Wu General Xu Sheng asked.
Don't worry about you, I think about it, this person was sent by Zhou Yu to accompany and monitor. The enemy army deliberately laid an ambush here, and we were discovered by Cao Bing. My mission this time is to test these 5,000 soldiers, go to battle head-on, and eighty percent will be sent to death.
Shi Yue looked at the surrounding terrain, surrounded by mountains and trees, and now it was early winter, and everything was withering. "I'll camp at the foot of the mountain over there first, and then I'll make plans."
Sun Jun listened to it and left as he said.
On Xu Huang's side, he had long been ambushed in Jutie Mountain, waiting for Sun Jun to be caught.
Thanks to the spies' report, Sun Jun has come here and is now stationed.
Xu Huang was shocked when he learned that the person who came was Pan Feng, "I heard that Liu Bei cooperated with him, but it was him, and it was unexpected." Xu Huang thought of this person being resourceful, before Xiahoudun and Cao Ren were defeated in Xinye, although he now has an advantage, he is quite jealous, and he doesn't know what his trajectory is.
"General, there are few of them, do you want to attack tonight!" The soldiers on the side came out to make a plan.
Xu Huang was cautious and didn't dare to mess around. "No, our army's mission this time is to ambush them, not to take the initiative to attack, if the chaos fails, he will know that we are here to take precautions, and the plan will fail."
Shi Yue, on his side, has been thinking, how can he complete the task without being too dangerous?
"We are here to probe it, just to confirm that this is not where Cao Jun's grain field is, so we have to send someone to go deeper, but if we go deeper, will we be caught by Cao Jun soon? If I had led the troops myself, the enemy would have come out and hacked me to death like a chicken with blood. ”
"If you don't send dozens of people to take a deep look first, it's nothing to lose a dozen."
Immediately, Shi Yue found more than a dozen soldiers who were good at mountain operations, "Jiangdong needs you, there is an important task to be handed over, you and others go deep into the Cao military village of Jutie Mountain, if you find that it is not a place without food, go to the mountain, burn the fire and smoke, so that we know the truth." and do not spread it out. ”
Then Shi Yue found more than a dozen people, "Jiangdong needs you, there is an important task entrusted to you, you and others will go to Jutie Mountain to find out where there is an ambush by Cao's army, if there is, go to the nearest mountain, burn the fire and smoke, we can take the opportunity to sneak attack." and do not spread it out. ”
The next day, these dozens of people went in two groups according to Shi Yue's plan.
Xu Sheng on the side was puzzled, "What is the general's plan, now that the soldiers have been dispatched, can you tell me." ”
Shi Yue smiled and said: "My mission this time is to test the grain land of Cao's army ahead. There will be an ambush of Cao's army ahead, and if we go, we will definitely be ambushed. So last night I selected more than 30 people to go in two batches, go deep into the Jutie Mountain to explore the reality, if you find that it is not a grain land, go up the mountain, burn the fire and smoke to inform us, our task is also completed, we can retreat from this place. ”
In fact, one team is investigating, and the other team is investigating whether there is Cao Jun. When the enemy army sees our soldiers who have penetrated deep into Jutie Mountain, they will not let them go deep even if the ambush is exposed, otherwise they will be discovered without food here. And they were killed, and they were not heard from, which can make us think that this is the grain field.
In short, this fire will definitely burn, just prepare to go, and it is better to die more than thirty people than to die thousands.
Xu Huang reciprocated, and more than a dozen people came here.
Xu Huang pondered deeply, "This is the other party who came here to spy to find out if we have ambushes, let them feel free, and they can't be exposed yet." ”
After a while, he came to inquire again, "Another group of people, more than a dozen people, and the dozen or so people in front of them went to the depths of Jutie Mountain!" ”
"What?" Xu Huang thought about it wrong, "The other party is here to explore the reality of grain and grass, hurry up and chase the batch in front and kill them, and the new batch here will also be killed immediately!" Our ambushes can be exposed, but the grain land cannot be exposed! ”
The first group of soldiers hurried deeper, and suddenly a group of people chased after them, "They're right there!" Don't let them run! "The dozen or so people were surrounded, and they all died.
Before the second group had gone deeper, they heard an ambush and said, "Go up the hill, burn the fire, and inform the generals that there are ambushes here!" A few of the men rushed up the hill to burn the fire, the rest were killed, and the rest of the people who went up the hill were finally killed.
Xu Sheng waited for the situation ahead, and suddenly saw smoke rising on the other side of the mountain, "General Pan Feng!" There's a situation there! ”
Shi Yue was happy: "I saw it, according to the signal, it shouldn't be a grain land, let's go, they were besieged by Cao's heavy troops." ”
Xu Sheng had no choice but to listen to the words, so everyone left here and went back to Chaisang.
Cao Jun
Cao Cao discussed with everyone, planned to attack, and asked about the current situation.
"Liu Ye, how is the situation of the ship?" Cao Cao asked.
"Lord, the iron cable has been completed, stand on it, as if walking on the ground!" Liu Ye said.
Cao Cao said: "Okay, the last big defeat was because of the condition of this ship in the river, and it was difficult for our soldiers to adapt. Now at the beginning of winter, in another month, the cold winter is gradually coming, and it will be difficult to fight. Within this month, take Koto. ”
Liu Ye said again: "The lord's ship is on the river, connected together, if the enemy attacks with fire, the fire rides the wind, and our army is finished!" ”
Cao Cao smiled, "It's winter now, and only by blowing the east wind can it become a trend, otherwise they will burn themselves with fire." ”
Liu Ye said: "That's true, the lord is wise. ”
Cao Cao looked at Cai Mao: "Cai Mao, how is your navy training?" Just because you don't need your sailors. ”
Cai Mao replied, "Not yet, although it is effective, but it still needs to be ...... January. ”
"January? You've been practicing for four months, and you still need a month? In this way, how about you and Zhang Yun lead the troops to a trial and fight with Sun Quanjun? Cao Cao said.
Cai Mao didn't dare to refuse, "The last general will take orders!" ”
Immediately, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun ordered 30,000 troops and attacked Sanjiangkou.
The news of Cao's attack came quickly, and Sun Quan came to Zhou Yu and others early to discuss.
"The Cao army is coming, although there are not many soldiers, but the leading generals are Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, these two are the generals of the Jingzhou Navy, and it may be difficult to win." Sun Quanyan.
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "My lord, these two people are mediocre talents. There is nothing to fear, I am willing to lead the troops to battle first. ”
"Gongjin has taught you." Sun Quan said.
Zhou Yu learned that Cao Jun came in the first battle, and it was Cai Mao and Zhang Yun who came, these two were Cao Cao's generals who trained the navy, and they had a great relationship, so he thought about it.
So he took the initiative to send troops to Sanjiangkou first, and led the two generals Lu Meng and Gan Ning to fight, "Since these two dare to come, don't let them go!" ”
