Chapter 35: Attacking the Nest
Moling is a place, the water quality is clear, the green peaks are stacked, and there are hundreds of rivers confluence here, and the transportation is convenient.
Moling City, on the towering city wall, stands the banner of the word "Liu" to announce the owner of the city.
Liu Miao looked at the holy decree in his hand, and his heart was very uncomfortable, "This Yan Baihu of Wu County, self-proclaimed King of Eastern Wude, I was named the general of the Southern Expedition, and I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to assist Sun Ce in exterminating this group of thieves. ”
Zhen Rong on the side thought for a moment, but he smiled, "My lord, this is a good thing, the bandits in Wu County often harass the people in our city, and now Sun Jian is willing to help us exterminate the thieves, what's wrong?" ”
"It's true to exterminate the thieves, but it's also true to kill me!" Liu Xuan's face sank, "Sun Ce led 20,000 troops this time, saying that he wanted to borrow my Moling, if it is really Kaicheng for them to enter the city, Sun Ce's 20,000 soldiers and horses will rush in, and this Moling will change hands!" ”
"Sun Ce wants to cross Chaohu Lake, the only places he can go to are Juchao and Niu Zhu, pass the order, order Fan Neng, Zhang Ying, Chen Heng to lead 20,000 troops, Fan Neng and I will let you be the main general, Chen Heng is the deputy general, you are equivalent to Juchao stationed to meet Sun Ce."
"Xue Li, Yu Mi, Tai Shi Ci listens to orders! Xue Li, I will let you be the main general, Yu Mi is the deputy general, you and the other three of you will bring 17,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Niuzhu, if Sun Ce did not go to the nest, but went directly to Niuzhu, remember to hold on and wait until the nest soldiers and horses rescue! ”
"The last general obeys!"
Chaohu Lake, clear water and forest, reckless dense forest, intertwined, branches and leaves with the spring breeze blowing, setting off a green wave, reflected in the long smoke and water, so the scenery is breathtaking.
But at this moment, the soldiers of the three armies did not have time to appreciate this beautiful and moving scenery and spend this Chaohu Lake, that is, the place of conquest.
20,000 troops boarded the warship here, fighting is never a child's play, not like a street ruffian brawl, once the battle is fought, it is really not your life, vow not to give up.
Sun Ce's face is also rigorous, he has confidence in his heart but he can't be proud, he must not underestimate the enemy as a general, the lion fights the rabbit, and he also uses all his strength, if he is arrogant and arrogant, he is joking about the great cause of the family and the country, and he is also joking with the soldiers of the three armies.
The warships sailed on Chaohu Lake, and the sentries rotated every three hours to warn whether Liu Miao would lead his troops and horses to battle in Chaohu Lake.
Behind Jiang Wen stood a tall soldier with an exceptionally tough face. Eight feet tall, with dark skin all over his body.
It is the general Zhou Tai, a tough man who resists twelve knives and does not die, Zhou Tai may not be a good general, but he must be a good bodyguard!
After landing ashore, the whole army quickly reorganized along the river, opened up the surrounding grasslands, and cleared out patches of open space for garrisoning.
Seventy miles from the east, after crossing the Hengjiang River, is Niuzhu City! But the purpose of the army at the moment is to take down the nest first.
Jiang Wen sat on the edge of the lake, holding a bamboo fishing rod and hook in his hand and throwing it into the lake, and Lu Meng threw it away with a water bag in his hand.
Jiang Wen took a sip of the water bag, and Lu Meng sat down and said, "The war is about to start, and you are still here to be leisurely and open-minded." ”
Jiang Wen said lightly: "Liu Miao knows that we will use troops in Moling, and we also know that Liu Miao will definitely send troops to meet it." But on the surface, as long as our army has not attacked Moling, we are just an army that only wants to exterminate the bandits, not an army that is trying to destroy Moling! ”
"What do you mean......?"
"As long as we don't attack the city, Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses will definitely not send troops, but will only defend the city."
Lu Meng took off his helmet, "I heard that after you return from this war, you will marry that girl?" ”
"Tao Er is not bad, she also knows how to take care of housework, and her skills are also very exquisite, since she is interested in facing others, why don't you give others an answer, but how do you know?"
"I went to your house to eat that day, and I heard the villains talking about it, saying that Tao'er had a good life, and she was lucky to be favored by the master so soon."
"These subordinates think that I am interested in seeing color, but I have been with me for a long time." Jiang Wen chuckled and said, "Originally, I just wanted to live in the world, and I didn't want anything vigorous. ”
Lu Meng rolled his eyes and said, "Who cares about you anymore, I just want to ask you, are you satisfied with just one?" ”
Jiang Wen glanced at Lu Meng, not knowing what to say in his heart.
Lu Meng said with a serious face, "Look, right now, you and your second uncle are left in your Jiang family, and your second uncle lives in Fuchun, but the jurisdiction of Wu County is making trouble with bandits at the moment, so I guess your second uncle is also more than lucky." ”
"If you don't marry a few concubines and have more babies, in case your children go on an expedition or something in the future, and something accidentally happens, won't you have no queen?!"
"And how much do you think is appropriate?" Jiang replied cohesively. In his heart, he was very concerned about Lu Meng's previous sentence, Yang Wu went for so long and didn't come back, maybe it was really bad luck.
"At least ten or eight!"
"Ziming, you take the bamboo pole, catch a fish, come up, and I'll cook fish soup for you tonight."
"Where are you going?"
"Patrol the camp!"
In Sun Ce's camp, all the generals will discuss here, from left to right, Jiang Wen, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin.
Sun Ce said with a serious face: "The Son of Heaven has already issued a holy decree to Liu Xuan, and our army was ordered to suppress thieves and wait for Liu Xuan's assistance, but who knows that Liu Xuan not only did not help, but sent troops to intercept us, and his heart can be punished!" ”
"Therefore, our army does not need to ask for the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, and directly send troops to Liu Xuan, and come to the first cut and then the prelude!"
"Our army is marching towards Juchao, presumably Liu Xuan knows that there will be reinforcements coming from Juchao, and our army needs to break through Juchao quickly!"
"Tomorrow's army will go with me and attack the nest!"
"Tell the lieutenant general, the lower official has a plan!" Jiang Wen said to Sun Ce.
The surrounding soldiers glanced at each other, and when Sun Jian broke Dong Zhuo to occupy Jingzhou in the north, he heard that there was a strategist who gave him advice, and the rest of the generals today also wanted to know how this soldier was strategizing.
"The lower official needs to take the map for use."
"Please." Sun Ce made way for Jiang Wen, who stood in front of the map and said, "After the battle between General Xingba and General Zhonglang, the lower officials knew that the reason for General Zhonglang's fame was to accept it. ”
"Today, our army is on an expedition, the men and horses are tired, and the generals who lead the troops are mostly immature, and the generals under Liu Miao are also generals for several years, and they must be contemptuous of our army, and they think that our army can make a deceitful plan!"
Jiang Wen pointed to a hill southwest of Juchao and said, "Tomorrow, General Gan Ning will lead his troops to ambush 5,000 men and horses on this mountain, and General Jiang Qin will ambush 2,000 light horsemen at the mouth of the valley. The rest of the men and horses by General Lu Meng, General Zhou Tai, Zhonglang will go to the gate of Juchao County to call for battle, try to provoke the defenders of the city, if the enemy will fight, please do not win, you must be defeated!
"When retreating, you also need to stir up the sand, in addition to the war horses and soldiers, the war drums, and the handsome flags can be abandoned in place, and the enemy army will definitely pursue when he sees our army routing and fleeing, and then it is enough to invite you into the urn."
