Chapter Seventy-One: Hukou III

After pulling to the boat, someone prepared the brazier. If you want to burn the chain red, then smash it hard, it will be easy to break.

But Shi Lang felt that if he stayed for a while, it would be more dangerous, so he naturally didn't want to waste any time, and he didn't need a brazier, so he found two or three big men, plus Shi Lang himself, picked up the axe hard, and smashed it with a clang.

The four of them took turns, but after a while, they smashed the chains apart.

After the chain was opened, it was thrown into the water, and the boat was immediately able to move again.

Shi Lang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Retreat." ”

It will not work if you don't retreat, but after a while, many ships have been sunk or incapacitated.

It's just that the retreat is not too easy to go.

The same is the same as the barrage ropes.

In the end, Shi Lang had to abandon the ship and change to a small boat to evacuate this section of the river.

In one attack, more than 20 ships were lost by more than half, four or five were sunk, and several could not be withdrawn, so they could only stay in place, and were accepted by the officers and soldiers.

Since Shi Lang joined the army, in nine years, he has changed from a small soldier to a general who is used by Zheng Zhilong, and he dare not say that he is invincible, but he has never suffered such a big loss. After he came back, he immediately asked Zheng Zhilong for his guilt and said: "The last general lost his troops and lost his generals, and asked the adults to punish him." ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "Get up, this war is not a crime of war, I naturally don't blame you, it's just that this matter is not up to me, wait a while, I'll take you to King Wu to see what King Wu and his old man say." ”

"Master Xie." Shi Lang said.

Zheng Zhilong gave an order, and the fleet retreated to Pengze Harbor, and then brought this Shi Lang to meet Luo Rucai.

Luo Rucai naturally didn't blame it, and calmed things down.

Zheng Zhilong lost hundreds of sailors in this battle, and the loss was not large, but it was not small. However, Luo Rucai couldn't see this point in his eyes at an instant, he summoned the generals and asked: "Now, our army is stuck here, what are the good plans of the generals?" ”

Zheng Zhilong naturally couldn't speak.

Although for Zheng Zhilong, he may not be able to win the lake mouth if he tries his best, but there will be a lot of losses. Zheng Zhilong would rather be honest as the general of his defeated army.

"Why don't you make some fuss from Jiangbei?" Li Rugui said: "Since there is Poyang Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, you can't fly it, or the army will cross the river and attack Huguang from the north of the river?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Xuan immediately retorted: "Not to mention the detour to Jiangbei, Wuchang is in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter what, we can't bypass the Yangtze River, just say that after entering Huguang from Jiangbei, the south is the Yangtze River, and the north is Dabie Mountain, the army is deep in it, the official army only needs to cut off the back road, we can only make a detour to Runing to return to the army." In this way, anything can happen in a thousand miles. Therefore, going to Jiangbei is just chicken ribs, and it will be broken

Hukou, before you can march. ”

"Then please General Zhang, make a detour to Fuzhou, and attack Nanchang?" Li Rugui said: "Bypassing Poyang Lake? ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while, figuring out the pros and cons of this method.

Poyang Lake may be bypassed, but the Ganjiang River can't. Moreover, the official army occupies the advantage of the water division in Poyang Lake, which represents not only the water division, but also the ability to march across the lake at any time. Zhang Xuan was undecided for a while.

Cao Ying's discussion could not come up with a complete strategy, so to put it mildly, it was still focused on the victory of the water war.

The waterways around the mouth of the lake are crisscrossed, and whoever has the advantage on the water can naturally use the waterway to divide the other party.

In Jiujiang City, Zuo Liangyu was holding a banquet.

Zuo Liangyu coughed twice, everyone quieted down, and he said softly: "Today's victory at Hukou is the first merit of General Huang, come, give General Huang a cup." ”

Huang Fei immediately stepped forward and said, "Thank you, sir." However, today's strategy to break the enemy is that Lord Shen should teach him face-to-face, so he has this victory, and this glass of wine is still to respect Lord Shen first. ”

Zuo Liangyu said: "Okay." First of all, Lord Shen. Zuo Liangyu sprinkled the wine on the ground and said, "Today's victory is enough to comfort Lord Shen." ”

In fact, in the past few days, Zuo Liangyu has also been under great pressure.

After all, Zuo Liangyu gave several prefectures and counties to Cao Ying, and there are many very prosperous grounds, and now the small court of Wuchang has a little remnant of mountains and rivers, and Zuo Liangyu has lost so much territory, and I don't know how many people are dissatisfied with Zuo Liangyu.

The impeachment of Zuo Liangyu almost buried Ma Shiying.

Fortunately, Ma Shiying is a person who knows what is important.

blocked all the impeachments to Zuo Liangyu.

This is not that Ma Shiying said a lot to Zuo Liangyu, but that Ma Shiying knows that now is absolutely unacceptable. And no one can replace Zuo Liangyu, with Zuo Liangyu's temper, if he wants to take the army under Zuo Liangyu's command, I am afraid that Zuo Liangyu will immediately sell the small court of Wuchang to Cao Ying.

After three rounds of drinking, those who should celebrate are also celebrated, Zuo Liangyu turned his head and said: "Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the thief, the Fujian sailor is called the Xiongjiang River, we will retreat without a fight, although it is not a crime of war, but Wuchang Sacred Heart is worried, and the Lord is worried about the humiliation." Now that General Huang is curbing the Zheng thief at Hukou, it is time to turn defense into attack. ”

As soon as Zuo Liangyu said this, everyone quieted down.

Turning defense into offense, these four words are not easy to say.

Not to mention anything else, the morale in Zuo Liangyu's army is not very good now, after all, after withdrawing so far in one go, Zuo Liangyu's army can still have morale like a rainbow, that is a strange thing.

"This is a matter of turning defense into offense, but isn't it an adult's statute?" Huang Shu said.

Zuo Liangyu said: "The army is guarding the Yangtze River and cannot be moved lightly, but there is one place that can be moved

Yes, Mr. Fang, are you right? ”

Fang Guoxin sighed and said secretly: "It's here." ”

Fang Guoan was originally a general under Zuo Liangyu, and he was ordered by Zuo Liangyu to pursue Zhang Xianzhong, and fought many victories, but he hooked up with He Tengjiao, and turned his head from Zuo Liangyu's command to He Tengjiao's command. Fang Guoan knew that Zuo Liangyu was not too generous.

Due to the situation in Wuchang, it won't be too much, but small shoes are inevitably worn.

Fang Guoan didn't dare to fight Zuo Liangyu, and said: "Although the prince of the country orders, his subordinates will definitely obey his orders." ”

"Okay." Zuo Liangyu said: "Rock." I want your army to go east and attack the flank of Cao Thief, and it won't be long before the reinforcements from Huguang and Yungui will arrive, and they will all be under your command at that time. You don't need to go north, you just need to march east and attack Zhejiang. ”

"It's a good Wei to save Zhao." Huang Shu said: "The plan of the adults is admired by the subordinates. ”

After listening to Huang Shu's words, everyone woke up like a dream and said, "My subordinates admire me very much. ”

Only Fang Guoan's face was blushing.

Zuo Liangyu asked knowingly, "What's the problem?" ”

Fang Guoan said: "No problem. ”

It's no wonder if there is no problem, not to mention anything else, although Huguang Yungui's reinforcements are coming, when will they arrive. Fang Guoan really didn't know, and after the reinforcements arrived, it was a matter of long time ago that Fang Guoan would return to the command.

Without him, the reinforcements here are grouped into Ma Shiying's faction.

Ma Shiying definitely didn't want to increase Zuo Liangyu's strength, and if he wanted toes, he wouldn't send it to Zuo Liangyu.

As for Wei Wei to save Zhao, it is easy to say.

When the hundreds of thousands of Cao Ying's army is a dead man, at this time, Cao Ying's army is trapped in front of the lake, and it is impossible to advance or retreat, if Fang Guo'an advances eastward, I am afraid that the army will immediately go south.

When the time comes, whether he can surround Wei or not, Fang Guoan doesn't know, but it is very possible that Fang Guoan will be surrounded by others.

Zuo Liangyu's meaning is very obvious, just to relieve the pressure on Cao Ying on the east side.

When Fang Guoan is trapped, will Zuo Liangyu rescue Fang Guoan? In Fang Guoan's heart, there was also a guess that it would be good if he didn't fall into the well, and it was estimated that it would be impossible to rescue him.

But at this moment, Fang Guoan didn't dare to say a word "no", so he could only grit his teeth and agree.

The celebration banquet seemed to end happily, and Fang Guoan immediately returned to Nanchang City after the celebration banquet. He didn't even think about it, so he visited the governor of Jiangxi, Wan Yuanji.

Wan Yuan Ji also mentioned before that he was Yang Sichang's first aide, known as Yang Sichang's courage. When Governor Yang Sichang encircled and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai in several provinces, many strategies came from the hands of Wan Yuanji. Now in his forties, it is the prime of life.
