Chapter 604: Jiang Stage
The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes! At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no appearance of this song Linjiang Immortal, but the momentum of the Yangtze River flowing is unchanged for eternity, and the waves continue to bloom on the wide river surface, and the river surface looks more vast and wide without the high-rise buildings and black smoke chimneys of the modern city! At this time, in the upper reaches of the oasis five miles away from the center of the river, there are dozens of large and small warships practicing the art of battle formation, they advance and retreat in a way, neat and changeable, sometimes combined and sometimes scattered, sometimes against the current and now sometimes downstream, and from time to time there are men with naked bodies who are not afraid to jump into the rolling river water, making all kinds of water fighting movements.
The hulls of these warships all look different from those Jiangdong warships in the original Yangtze River waterway, with a narrow and sharp bow that is slightly smaller, and those with oval bows that are wider, but in the eyes of those riverside fishermen, they are all behemoths! However, the exaggeration of the hull did not affect their flexibility on the river, and the battleship that was alone in the upper reaches of the battle formation was even more outstanding, with a pair of brocade sails hanging high in the bow, which was Gan Ning's flagship, and these warships on the river were naturally the second ship of the Flying Tiger Army's Sea Dragon Jiaolong.
After learning that Gan Ning led the Flying Tiger Army across the sea, and by surprise to lure the enemy, he broke the Jiangdong naval army led by Jiang Qin and successfully sent Zhang Fei's army across the Yangtze River, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were extremely shocked, even if Liu Yi was prepared for Liu Bei's support, no one expected that Jinfan would come so quickly, so violently, and hit Jiangdong's vital point with one move.
However, the look of shock was only for a moment, and the two of them immediately calmed down and considered the next countermeasures, for Liu Yi to support Liu Bei with such fanfare, Sun Ce certainly hated but hated him and didn't miss the old feelings, in the troubled times, only interests are the most important, Liu Yi could save their father and son back then, and now they can also be enemies because of interests, the same thing appeared too much in the late Han Dynasty, why didn't he make an alliance with Cao Cao out of interests considerations?
He hated that Gan Ning was so ruthless that he couldn't give a tough response, and he hated that he was far less thorough than Liu Bei in winning Liu Yi's support, half of Xuzhou said that he didn't want to abandon it, just in exchange for a favorable position in the battle of Yangzhou, such a decisive decision and means were beyond Sun Ce's expectations, originally the most scruples in the Xuzhou army was the general Guan Yu, when he fought in Huaiyin, he personally saw this person's martial arts and ability to lead the army, but now Liu Bei is an extremely powerful killer, He had to rejudge this person!
Looking at Jiang Qin, who was unconscious and almost incurable with arrow wounds, Sun Ce couldn't wait to eat the flesh of Gan Xingba, but Zhou Yu's analysis made him have to bury this hatred deep in his heart for the time being, Liu Yi would not go all out even if he wanted to help Liu Bei, in his opinion, whoever won the battle of Yangzhou should be greatly injured, this is the most beneficial situation for him! Therefore, after sending Zhang Fei across the river, he should not take action against the Jiangdong naval army, and now Liu Bei's army is in the Lujiang River, at this time, Jiangdong not only has to confront it but also send troops to deal with Zhang Fei who crossed the river, in this situation it is obviously unwise to force Gan Ning to make a move, Liu Yi has good intentions to create this situation and is not afraid that Sun Ce and Liu Bei can see through, because the gains and losses of Yangzhou are related to the life and death of the two.
Sure enough, Gan Ning did not take any action after defeating Jiang Qin, and the Flying Tiger Army ships cruised between the healthy Liuhe, and had no intention of going west, so it can be seen that Zhou Yu's judgment was not wrong at all, at this time there were two choices in front of Sun Ce, he sat on the front line of the Lujiang River and let Gongjin lead the troops to deal with Zhang Yide's aggressiveness, or on the contrary, he went in person, Zhou Yu sat and guarded, but no matter how he chose Wujun Huiji, he couldn't afford to lose, and the reinforcements not only had to be sent but also went at full speed!
As for Gan Ning, who won a big victory, he is now much more leisurely, although the eldest brother and the military advisor have explained before coming, and Pang Tong also has the same opinion, but as a general of the unified army, he still has to be cautious, and after ordering to closely monitor the movement of the Jiangdong naval army, Gan Ning will set up camp on Jiangxinzhou, where it can be attacked and defended, it is the best place for the Flying Tiger Army, if it is not right, he Gan Xingba can sail down the river, who can catch up with him? This hand is not only to guard against the Jiangdong naval army, but also to take precautions, Pang Tong is very appreciative of Gan Ning's move!
At present, since the Jiangdong Navy is not coming, Zhang Yide's army crossing the river is well prepared and does not need supplies for the time being. Of course, Xingba will not give up the opportunity in front of him, the eldest brother has said countless times that there can only be the existence of the Flying Tiger Army on the waterway of the Yangtze River in the future, and in the past, their drills were mostly in the sea, and now it is where the opportunity lies, and the drills of the Flying Tiger Army have not only not stopped in the past ten days, but are more serious than in the past, and they must be familiar with this dragon within this period of stable time!
Defeating Jiang Qin's naval army did not make Gan Ning have any pride, in his opinion, all the advantages are on his side, if this battle is not won, it will be laughed at by the world, but the Jiangdong naval army in the sudden attack, the situation is extremely unfavorable The calmness and fighting spirit still made him extremely admired, if it were not for the performance of the sea dragon Jiaolong second ship greatly better than the Jiangdong warship, it would be difficult for him to surround Jiang Qin's naval army, and there would not be such a remarkable result! And now, with Jiang Qin's escape (Gan Ning has no doubt that he has this ability), the secret advantage of the Flying Tiger Army no longer exists, and in terms of the number of warships, the Jiangdong Army is far above it, and Gan Ning will not allow himself to have the slightest light enemy.
"Hahaha, the second general of the view of the navy is like an arm and a finger, and tends to retreat like a god, no wonder it can cross the river back then, so that people can see the Jinfan and be in awe, although it has not been here for more than ten years, but the general is not a little rusty, and he admires it!" Standing side by side with Gan Ning on the bow to watch his manipulation of the navy, Pang Tong couldn't help laughing and praised, he was born in Xiangyang, and he was no stranger to the name of the fair king Jinfan thief, who was extremely extraordinary at sea in the past, and now he is even more comfortable returning to the familiar Yangtze River.
"Shi Yuan praised it, the so-called fist does not leave the hand, the soldier drill is the same, our army's previous victory has too many advantages, the combat power of the Jiangdong Navy Gan does not dare to underestimate, and in the eldest brother's heart, the opponent of the Flying Tiger Army is not only so, but it is a pity that it is difficult to come this time with that Zhou Gongjin, listening to the eldest brother said that this person's naval army tactics are extremely exquisite, Gan has long wanted to see it." Gan Ning didn't feel complacent when he heard this, but after making a statement, he was sincerely emotional.
"Not only do the two generals think this, but the heart of the unification is also general, the name of the lord is known to the world, and when he was in Xiangyang, he heard the name of Zhou Gongjin, and he not only knows the soldiers, but also is proficient in all arts, and he and his brother Sun Ce are beautiful and returned, so the character can not fight with one, regret, regret." If it had been replaced by other strategists, I am afraid that Gan Ning would have persuaded Gan Ning not to forget the order of the lord and general at this time, but when Pang Tong heard this, he felt like a confidant, and meeting opponents in chess is the joy of life.
"Oh, I have also heard that Jiangdong and Erqiao are all stunning, and later married Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's brothers, listening to Shiyuan's tone, is it a pity that he is here?" Gan Ning immediately smiled when he heard this, Pang Shiyuan is not only resourceful, but also uninhibited, which is very in line with Gan Ning's temper, since Jizhou so far, the two have similar temperaments and see harmony, so he often laughs with him.
"The so-called fair lady and gentleman are so good, you can't ask for it, tossing and turning! This Jiangdong Erqiao has a stunning name, when he got married, I don't know how many men tossed and turned, and it is common sense in the meantime, and I always listen to how elegant and elegant Zhou Lang is on weekdays, but it is a side of fate, but my friend Kong Ming has his own water dragon music score, which is quite a man's ambition. Pang Tong didn't care about Gan Ning's jokes at all, and he expressed his heart directly, and he was extremely bold and honest.
"What a fair lady and gentleman, Shiyuan is worthy of being a true husband, but now that you have a wife in your family, I am afraid you can only think about it in your heart, but if this battle of Yangzhou is Sun Ce. Na Shiyuan may have another chance to taste what he wants. Gan Ning praised him, he has a heroic temperament, and he has never liked people who put the way of a gentleman on his lips, not to mention generals, advisers, after all, they are all ordinary people, and there is no difference between those who are close to each other and ordinary people.
"With the current situation, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult, but it may not be without variables, and the second general can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight this time. However, the battle situation in Sizhou is outnumbered, and although the lord's visit to Luoyang is a superior strategy, it is also quite dangerous, so Han Sui and Zhang Lu have been planning for a long time, and Cao Mengde is pushing it back, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with. Pang Tong shook his head, but as soon as the conversation turned to Sizhou, it was difficult for them to understand the battle situation in Sizhou thousands of miles away, and Zhao Yun and Xi Zhicai's reinforcements were not informed because of the confidentiality relationship, no wonder Shi Yuan was worried in his heart.
"Shi Yuan can rest assured, with the ability of the eldest brother and the wisdom of Mr. Zicai, what can Han Sui Zhang Lu get? In my opinion, the eldest brother went in person this time not only to stabilize the army's heart, but also to plan in mind, what should be worried about is the coalition army, Shiyuan, look at it, our army will never lose the battle of Sizhou! Gan Ning's words are full of confidence, many years of brother he has a deep understanding of the character of the eldest brother, seeing him use the army seems to be a dangerous plan is not a plan to move, this time will never be an exception.
"The second general and the lord's brother for many years, naturally know his heart well, but in the eyes of the commander, although this is a crisis, it is also where the fighter is located, I think what the second general said will not be wrong, the lord must have a way to deal with it." Pang Tong heard the words and thought for a moment before he said, he had a faint idea in his heart, but it was difficult for Lan to make a judgment due to the lack of details of the Sizhou battle situation, but one thing is certain, with Luoyang Jiancheng in hand, the Sizhou battle situation will not have much variability in the short term.
"I'll wait here to watch the battle situation in Yangzhou for the eldest brother, but if Shi Yuan's talent has everything that can be passed on to the eldest brother, presumably he and Mr. Zicai will also have a choice, well, Gan will discuss this matter with Shi Yuan in the evening, and go to the river to prepare some tooth sacrifices first." Gan Ning seemed to hear something in his ears after he spoke, but his eyes looked at the river but smiled slightly, and immediately kicked his feet on the top of the boat, and then flew and jumped, and the bow of the boat from a height of several feet fell into the river in an extremely beautiful posture, without stirring up the slightest wave, and the speed was breathtaking!
