Chapter 809: Preparing for War
Guling.
Shen Zhi, dressed in short clothes, walked into the door quickly, came to the front of the steps, jumped up, and rushed outside in a few steps. Sheng Xian heard the footsteps, got up to open the door, and as soon as he pulled the bolt of the door, the door was pushed open by Shen Zhi, almost hitting him in the face, and he was immediately a little displeased.
"Pepin came prepared, very good."
Shen Zhi was slightly stunned, and then understood what Sheng Xian meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He dodged into the house and closed the door. "Ah Weng is not in Shanyin, did he come to Guling to welcome the new Taishou?"
Sheng Xian was surprised, stroking his beard, and his white face showed anger. "Pepin, am I such a person in your heart? I thought we knew each other, but I didn't expect Pepin to see me like this, which is really disappointing. Flicked his sleeves and went straight back to his seat, and did not greet Shen Zhi to take a seat, with a cold expression.
Shen Zhi blinked, followed, sat down opposite Sheng Xian, and bowed. "Ah Weng, the kid is ignorant, I don't understand where I misunderstood Ah Weng, which made Ah Weng so angry, and asked Ah Weng to speak up in person."
Sheng Xian looked at Shen Zhi, saw that he was dusty, his face was tired, and he also felt that he was a little too much. Shen Zhi came from all over Wu County, and his filial piety was commendable, so he eased his breath. "I came to Guling, not to welcome Sun Ce, but to prevent Sun Ce from entering the county."
"Why? Sun Ce was appointed by the imperial court to be the Taishou of the Huiji, and he had no grievances with Ah Weng, but killed Xu Gong, and Yu Ah Weng had the benefit of revenge, so why should Ah Weng prevent him from entering the county......"
"What did you say?" Sheng Xian looked at Shen Zhi in amazement.
"Am I wrong?" Shen Zhi met Sheng Xian's gaze and said timidly.
Sheng Xian was furious and took the case. "You're not just wrong, you're very wrong. If you want to persuade me to cling to Sun Ce, needless to say, go to the other side to show Sun Ce that you are good, and let me Sheng Xian missee you and your Shen family. ”
Sheng Xian thought that Shen Zhi was here to help, and he was happy for a while. Taishou Guo Yi wanted to prevent Sun Ce from entering the county, organized a group of people, and he was also among them, but he had no subordinates, and he didn't know anything about martial arts, so he could only cheer and help, and now Shen Zhi is here, which can just make up for this shortcoming. Shen Zhi has both civil and military skills, and is proficient in the art of war, which is the talent they lack the most at the moment. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhi actually said that it was wrong for them to prevent Sun Ce from entering the country, and also said that Sun Ce killed Xu Gong and was kind to him, which was simply unreasonable.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable.
Shen Zhi is very innocent. He rushed from Wu County to Shanyin, and then from Shanyin to Guling, but he didn't want to help Guo Yi stop Sun Ce. Don't look at the fact that Guo Yi has gathered a lot of people, but they can't be Sun Ce's opponents, and they will only give Sun Ce a reason and opportunity to kill. But he also knew Sheng's temper, and it was impossible to convince Sheng Xian, so he could only remind him around the corner.
But it didn't seem to work well, and Sheng Xian didn't have the heart to listen to his explanation at all. He couldn't just go like that, this was Madame's father, and he couldn't sit idly by. Shen Zhi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly smiled: "Ah Weng misunderstood, you have noble ambitions, how can I persuade you to attach yourself to Sun Ce, it's just a little puzzled." Sun Ce is the Huiji Taishou appointed by the imperial court, and it is justifiable for him to take office in Huiji, why is Huiji Haojie like this, the kid is really puzzled. ”
"Are you really confused, or are you pretending to be confused?" Sheng Xian was also a little confused. He still knows this son-in-law, and he shouldn't be in the same league as Sun Ce, maybe he was really confused by Sun Ce? After all, Sun Ce's appointment as the Huiji Taishou was indeed appointed by the imperial court, and it is also possible that Shen Zhi was intimidated by the majesty of the imperial court. "Do you think the imperial court is willing to appoint Sun Ce as the Huiji Taishou? It was forced to be helpless. Not to mention anything else, if Sun Ce takes Danyang and Wujun without permission, he is not a loyal minister, if the court knows, can he still be the auditor? When the threshold car is the court lieutenant is. Why? Either you can't do it, but you can't ......do it."
Sheng Xian taught Shen Zhi a lesson, and when he saw that Shen Zhi bowed his head and was taught, most of his anger disappeared, and he had a great sense of accomplishment in saving Shen Zhi once, so he ordered Shen Zhi to rest early, and take him to see Taishou Guo Yi tomorrow, maybe he can be reused.
——
The generals had just finished the banquet and had not yet slept, and rushed back after receiving the order. Sun Jing heard the news and followed.
Sun Ce's face was very bad and murderous. Guo Jia told the information he had just received, and when the generals heard it, not only were they not angry, but they were very happy, squeezing their eyebrows one by one, and rubbing their hands. Seeing this scene, Sun Jing was very uneasy and couldn't help but interject.
"Bo Fu, this battle is not easy to fight, you must not take it lightly."
Sun Jing is an uncle, Sun Ce didn't dare to be contemptuous, and hurriedly asked Sun Jing for advice. Sun Jing speaks very slowly, and her voice is not loud, and she always gives people a listless look, but what he says is very important.
The most convenient place to join the Huiji from Wu County is to cross the river from the Qiantang neighborhood. To the east is the sea with a wide water surface, the waves are very large, and there is no suitable dock for logging in nearby, and to the west is the mountainous area, such as Fuchun, opposite is a large mountain area, which is not suitable for farming, and is usually used as a cemetery, where the ancestors of the Sun family are buried. For the army, it is barely enough to walk, and it is difficult to transport the baggage.
It is precisely because it is convenient for Qian Tang to cross the river, so there is a city on the side of the river, called Guling. As the name suggests, the city is not only on a high ground facing the river, but also very strong. Guo Yi sent troops to block Sun Ce, and he must arrange heavy troops in Guling. In addition, between Qiantang and Fuchun, there is also a ferry called Chadu, which is not as convenient as Qidu, and it is also possible to cross the river, but there are also hills on the other side of the river, and if the other party sets up troops there to stop it, it is also difficult to attack.
In addition, Qiantang is the mouth of the river, affected by the tide, the river is retrograde, the local people call the sea god out on patrol, the water level is changing all the time, and people who are not familiar with the water conditions will hit the reef. It's February, the wettest season of the year, second only to August. Don't look at Gan Ning's subordinates who are good at boating in the Yangtze River, they may not be able to adapt to it when they get here.
Ling Cao echoed Sun Jing's opinion, he was from Yuhang, and he was no stranger to this.
Sun Ce agreed with Sun Jing and Ling Cao's views. In history, he was blocked by Wang Lang in Guling, and later Sun Jing offered a plan and successfully attacked from Chadu. Now the situation has changed slightly, it may be more difficult than in history, but there is no difficulty to go up, and if there is difficulty, you must also go up, and the dignified Huiji Taishou must not be blocked from the county and cannot take office.
"Arrange a cordon to prevent the other side from attacking the camp. Xingba, let the brothers of the sailor work harder, and find out the news with the brothers of the scout battalion, and figure out where they can land, if they are raided, they will be raided, and if they can't be raided, they will attack. ”
"Whoa!" Gan Ning replied loudly.
"Zhongde, you are a local, familiar with the terrain, and good in water, be Xingba's deputy and assist Xingba."
Ling Cao stepped forward. "I am willing to serve the general."
"The other generals practice landing tactics and are ready to go into battle at any time."
The generals agreed with a bang.
