Chapter Thirty-Nine: Marching into the Army
The green leaves are dense and the trees are lush, and the mansion is a four-cornered compound. The four of them were playing Tai Chi in the courtyard, and Lu Meng heard that this boxing could prolong life, and he also learned how to fight this boxing.
A soldier walked in, clasped his fists at Sun Ce and saluted, and said, "After telling Zhonglang General Gan Ning to bury his brother last night, he has returned to the camp. β
Sun Ce nodded, "You go down." β
Jiang Wen on the side slowly retracted his fist, Sun Ce looked at Jiang Wen and sighed, "This will inevitably leave a mustard in the other party's heart." β
"Xingba knows the military law, and he knows the mistake in his heart this time," Jiang Wen said lightly, "If Bo Fu thinks that this small mistake alone will make Xingba feel guilty, he really underestimates Xingba." β
"Even so," Sun Ce still shook his head, "but I still can't rest assured in my heart, for example, although there are bustling talents today, how many people can really enter my Sun family?" At present, if a general like Xingba is abandoned, it will be a big loss for our army! β
Zhou Yu closed his eyes on the side and said, "In that case...... Bo Fu, you will send someone to send Xingba 500 stone grain and grass, if he collects it, it is not a big deal, if he does not accept it, then he will come to visit. β
Lu Meng and Sun Ce glanced at each other, and Lu Meng asked with some puzzlement: "Gong Jin, why is it okay if he accepts it, and if he doesn't accept it, he will be fine?" β
"If it is an ordinary honest courtier, the courtier may not accept the gift given by the king, but Xingba is different, he is a water thief, and he will definitely accept it if he is generally courteous, if he does not accept it, it means that Xingba is extremely angry."
Sun Ce nodded, sent two soldiers, and ordered the matter of giving gifts.
The four of them entered the house, spread out the map on the table, and Zhou Yu said: "Our army has occupied Juchao, and we only need to cross the Yangtze River to reach Niuzhu, and Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses must also be stationed here." β
Sun Ce nodded, "Zhang Ying fled across the river with thousands of his soldiers and horses to Niuzhu, and now all of Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses are stationed here, if this battle is won, then we can take Jianye." β
Lu Meng nodded and said: "Taking advantage of the morale of the army, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, stay in the nest of a thousand men and horses, and the rest of the men and horses will cross the river tomorrow!" β
Zhou Yu nodded, "The soldiers are very fast, and now they should go straight to Niuzhu." β
Sun Ce nodded, and then summoned his left and right, "Send an order to all the generals, immediately start rectifying the armor and soldiers and horses, and the army will set off tomorrow!" β
At night, in Juchao County, Gan Ning's mansion, there was a group of people lying on the bed, and they were all left on by the forty boards.
Gan Ning was holding the best gold sore medicine and was applying it to his brothers. Gou Li bared his teeth, "Big brother, let's go, this is not for people, and the second brother was so innocently executed!" Isn't the eldest brother's heart angry? β
"yes, why don't you grab something? In the past, the brothers didn't even leave a single living mouth, but now they only rob money and food and don't kill people, which is enough to make concessions, but he still ignores the eldest brother's pleas and kills the second brother directly! β
Gan Ning found an empty bed and sat down, "Zhonglang will value me so much, give me such a high official position, there are countless heroes in the world, but how many people can use me so much, how many can be said to be benevolent and righteous to me?" If I really go like this, then I am a real perfidious villain. β
Jiang Wen came to Gan Ning's mansion and saluted Gan Ning, "General Gan Ning, join the army Jiang Wen to see." β
"Join the army and come to see me?!" Gan Ning immediately got up with a complicated expression.
The resentment that had accumulated in the hearts of the brothers also exploded at this moment.
You must know that they will end up in such a situation, the second brother will be beheaded, and it is all this who joined the army!
Gan Ning glared at the brothers, "You guys treat me well, I'll go and meet him outside the door." β
Jiang Wen stood in the courtyard, his hands in his sleeves, and looked at the bright moon in the sky in a daze.
"The last general has seen the army," Gan Ning smiled and saluted Jiang Wen, "It's already night, I haven't slept when I joined the army, why did you come to find the last general?" β
Jiang Wen returned the salute and said, "General Xingba." β
Jiang Wen continued: "I know the truth that brothers are like siblings, and I wronged General Xingba yesterday. β
Gan Ning looked at Jiang and asked, "It's the fault of the brothers to talk about grievances." β
Jiang Wen nodded, "Tomorrow, the army will continue to march, General Xingba might as well rest here for a while, and tomorrow he doesn't have to fight with the army." β
"Joining the army is worried that the end will rebel because of this?" Gan Ning was slightly unhappy, "If this is the case, it is to join the army and see the last general, and forgive the last general!" It's late at night, please join the army and go back to sleep, and the last general will not be sent. β
Jiang Wen smiled lightly and said: "Zhonglang will send Yu Xingba's grain and grass, has Xingba ever been satisfied?" β
Gan Ning said a little impatiently: "General Zhonglang's kindness, the last general is naturally satisfied, and this is enough for our brother to eat for many days." β
"That's very good, then I will say goodbye."
In 195 of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao defeated Kong Rong in Beihai, fought in Qingzhou, and then led a large army to attack Langya, Tao Qian was defeated and retreated, Langya was captured by Cao Cao, Tao Qian's army returned to help, and Cao Cao stalemate in Xiapi.
LΓΌ Bu broke the stability again and sent 40,000 troops to Wancheng to fight Sun Jian......
Niuzhu is a place, located on the Hengjiang River, and it is also a water city, Sun Ce looked at the military newspaper in front of him and asked Zhou Yu on the side: "Does our army need to come back for reinforcements?" β
"The distance is too far, if you withdraw the troops at this moment, all the attacks in the past few months will be in vain, and now there is Cao Cao in the north of Lu Bu, Cao Cao was taken by Lu Bu and Xuchang Chen Liu's second city, but it will not be swallowed like this, Lu Bu will send troops this time, and he will withdraw in a short time." Zhou Yu asked the soldiers behind him, "How many days have passed since joining the army to escort grain and grass?" β
"Tell the military advisor, it's been a month."
Zhou Yu nodded, "The grain and grass escorted by the army should also arrive." β
Looking at the stable city in the distance, Liu Miao was very afraid of Sun Ce because of the battle of Juchao, and he had been guarding the city these days.
Sun Ce also thought about attacking the city, but he could not break through the city gate.
"Are you literate?" Zhou Yu asked.
The messenger said, "The villain was fortunate enough to have read a book for a year. β
"That's fine," Zhou Yu took out a thousand baht and handed it to the soldier in front of him with the bamboo slips, "After you memorize the things on the bamboo slips, disguise yourself and blend into Niuzhu County, you can take the 100 yuan of these money yourself, and distribute the rest to the beggars in the city and teach them to sing the poems written on the bamboo slips." β
"The villain obeys!"
"Go ahead."
Zhou Yu looked at the city with a light smile, strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.
In the Moling Palace, Liu Miao looked at the military report in his hand and became more and more anxious, there were 20,000 troops, but he had not fought for three months, Liu Miao was afraid in his heart that Xue Li would support the army and respect himself!
Liu Miao summoned the soldiers and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to the soldier, "Remember to give this bamboo slip to Xue Li." β
