Mt. Qu.

Gan Ning and Lu Fang stood side by side, looking at the gradually forming camp, their faces calm.

Chun Yuqiong led an army of 30,000 from Xiapi, and walked for more than half a month for 300 miles, and Gan Ning and Lu Fang were impatiently waiting. They fought under Sun Ce, and they were all familiar with a phrase often mentioned by Sun Ce and others: soldiers are noble and fast. But Chun Yuqiong doesn't seem to have heard this sentence, he is not a god speed, he is a turtle speed, marching an average of twenty miles a day, only sixty percent of the prescribed itinerary.

Gan Ning came from Guangling and set off after Chun Yuqiong, but arrived before Chun Yuqiong.

"It's slow." Elfang snorted softly, and turned his head to look at the leaky pot on the side of the table. The leaky pot shows that from the appearance of the first team to the basic completion of the entire battalion, it took nearly two hours for Chun Yuqiong's subordinates. This can also understand why Chun Yuqiong walked so slowly, he needed more time to pull out the camp and set up camp, and naturally there was less time for hurrying.

Gan Ning smiled: "They should be scared by the general's attack." ”

Elfang smacked her lips. "Yes, although the general is not on the battlefield in Xuzhou, his influence is omnipresent, and he has invisibly bought us ten days. With these ten days, Chun Yuqiong didn't say that 30,000 people came, even if another 30,000 people came, he couldn't do anything about us. ”

Gan Ning turned to look at Elfang. "You want to hold on and wait for help?"

"If you don't stick to the help, can you still take the initiative?" Elfang smiled: "That's 30,000 people, the two of us together are less than 3,000, even if you add my elk's family's troops, it's less than 5,000, it's more than enough to hold on, it's too risky to attack." ”

"That's only 30,000 soldiers, not 30,000 soldiers." Gan Ning looked at the big camp in the distance and chuckled: "It's been two hours, and the formation is still so chaotic, which shows how much slackness these people have." They must have thought that we would not dare to attack, which is why we are so presumptuous. Since they have exposed their flaws so obviously, how can I be worthy of them if I don't kick them twice? ”

Elfang blinked, momentarily moved. As Gan Ning said, Chun Yuqiong's troops are a lot, but they are not elite, compared to Sun Ce's subordinates, these people are simply a group of homeless people, not even a rogue. It is indeed a good choice to carry out a surprise attack while they are not firmly on the ground and frustrate their spirits. However, the assault is also dangerous, after all, the other party is 30,000 people, and once they are messed up, they can also trample on people.

"How are you going to assault?"

"There are not many soldiers, the general only used two hundred horses to ambush Wen Chou, and there were only more than ten horses during the assault, I think, to deal with a fool like Chun Yuqiong, it is enough to bring a hundred people."

Elfang nodded vigorously. "Okay, I'll help you."

Gan Ning shook his head. "No, you guard the manor, and you can't attack until it's foolproof. If I fall into it, you won't be able to save me. If I hadn't been trapped, you wouldn't have to attack. You prepare the cavalry, and when the time comes, you will slash the battle and take the key points, and then stop these rebels. With so many laborers, if we can stay in Qu County to work, our port expansion can be much faster. ”

Elfang laughed and pointed at Gan Ning. "Does the general like you, you are really temperamental, natural monarchs. Xingba, you found the master of your life, but you misread me. When I say help you, I don't want to lead the cavalry to attack, but to send people to work the army. ”

Gan Ning was surprised. "Lao Jun?"

"Yes, Chun Yuqiong must be tired and hungry after such a long journey. Within a hundred miles, there are no rich families, except for my elk's family. I will send someone to send some gifts, and then send some wine and food, Chun Yuqiong will definitely not refuse. When they get drunk, wouldn't it be more useful for you to break through the camp again than if I led the cavalry to help you assault? Xingba, what do you say? ”

Gan Ning shook his head and laughed. He went to Qu County for a few days, enjoyed Elfang's hospitality every day, and knew that the Elk family was rich, and compared to the Elk family, he, the former Jinfan thief, was poor. The elk family eats the sea by the sea, not only with all kinds of overseas rare flavors, but also with delicious wines that people can't stop. Chun Yuqiong has worked hard all the way, and there must be no resistance.

Of course, the elk family is an understatement, but it is a significant expense. Chun Yuqiong is a person who has seen the world, the gift is too light, Chun Yuqiong will not take it seriously. There are so many generals under his command, and the wine and meat alone are a staggering number.

"Elk Zifang, I understand what you mean, it's to stun him with money, right?"

"Yes, I don't have much else in the Elk family, but I have money." Elfang said with a smile: "The general said that anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. You Gan Xingba is the general Fubo and the governor of the navy who the general has high hopes for, if you can exchange tens of millions of dollars for your safety, this business is still worth it. ”

Gan Ning was a little embarrassed. Lu Fang's words have another meaning. Sun Ce said to him at the beginning that Fu Bo Yi is difficult to do, and I hope he can be more stable, not to fight bravely and take risks. The elk family is now reminding him to stay safe.

"Then there is Lao Zifang to worry about."

The two watched for a while, and when they returned to the manor at the bottom of the mountain, Elfang immediately arranged for a guest who was good at receiving and entertaining guests, and asked him to visit Chun Yuqiong with rich gifts and a large amount of wine and meat. The elk family is in business, and most of the guests are businessmen, and there are many guests who are exquisite and can speak kindly, and Chun Yu Qiongkan is stunned in a few words.

As Elfang expected, Chun Yuqiong had a hard journey.

First, he was worried about Sun Ce's cavalry raid. The previous news said that Sun Ce took all the cavalry away, but later found out that Sun Ce only took a small part of it, and the main force of the personal guard cavalry never left. When she heard the news, Chun Yuqiong broke out in a cold sweat. Wen Chou, who had two thousand horsemen, was ambushed by Sun Ce, how dare he be careless. This string has been tightened, and he does not even dare to untie his armor when he sleeps, and is always ready to fight. It wasn't until the intelligence confirmed that the main force of the guards had left the East China Sea and rushed to the Yanzhou battlefield that he breathed a sigh of relief.

The second is grain and grass. Donghai is the largest county in Xuzhou, with thirteen cities and nearly 150,000 households, but the inequality between the rich and the poor is very serious, more than half of the counties are in the west of Tan County, Qu County is lonely and remote on the seashore, and the nearest thick hill from Qu County is also a hundred miles away, which directly leads to a problem, he can not collect enough grain and grass, and must carry it himself, which also seriously affects his marching speed.

After working hard for more than half a month, I finally arrived in Qu County, and the big stone in Chun Yuqiong's heart was half put down. When he saw the guests sent by Elfang, he did not doubt the sincerity of the Elk family. According to reliable sources, Sun Ce only left 300 horsemen for Elk Fang, and the rest were the guests of the Elk family. For a strong man, the strength of the Elk family should not be underestimated, but in front of his army of 30,000, as long as people in their right minds know that there is a huge disparity in strength, and confrontation is only a dead end. Whether it was surrender or a delaying tactic, it was a reasonable choice for Elfang to give him a gift.

Chun Yuqiong smiled happily. If he didn't know that the Elk family was rich, he wouldn't have bothered to bother with this effort. Now that the hard work has finally paid off, how can he refuse, just get drunk and rest. Since leaving the Chen family manor, he hasn't had a good drink. For him, who is a good drinker, this is simply the most difficult day of his life.

The elk's wine is very good, sweet and clear, and the wine is rich. Chun Yuqiong got her wish and got drunk.
