No. 729 Yin Guan Offering 2
Fu Tong heard Yin Guan mention this matter again, and he asked with a smile.
Fu Tong teased him like this, but Yin Guan didn't get angry, but replied calmly: "If other people are like this, I must feel uncomfortable in my heart, but Master Fu has not adopted the strategy of his subordinates, presumably there is another reason." ”
"Ahem, stop laughing." When Yin Guan said this, Fu Tong couldn't laugh anymore, and he replied with a straight face: "Brother Kong Xiu, it's not that I don't want to adopt your strategy, it's just that I don't want to startle the snake." I'm not afraid of your jokes, this time the enemy I have to face is Sun Ce, if he comes to attack the city I guard, even if it is ten times the enemy, I have no fear.
However, if it is a field battle, even if it gives me ten times the number of troops of Sun Cejun, I have no certainty. What's more, whether it is Zhengfang or Zhongmiao, it will also take time to strengthen the city's defenses. Therefore, I knew that although the two counties were well guarded, the troops in the city were insufficient, and the people in the city were unstable, but I did not dare to raise troops to take back the two counties.
Brother Kong Xiu, you think, with Sun Ce's ability to lead troops, once he learns all my deployments in advance, he may not continue to storm Linyuan County. Before the big right and wrong, even if the enemy who killed his father was in front of him, Sun Ce could still tell which was more important and which was more important. Didn't Cao Cao repeatedly ignore his father's killer and his enemy, and raise troops to compete with Liu Xuzhou for territory?
Again, Brother Kong Xiu, the troops you mentioned led directly south to capture Rongcheng County. It is also the same reason, if I lead tens of millions of troops into Cheng County, it is very likely to alarm the defenders of Sun Cejun in Yuanling County or Chenyang County. If I don't move, Sun Ce won't care.
So, I'll tell you one more thing! Before I came, I went to Fancheng to meet General Liu Pan, the purpose of which was to borrow generals from him, and temporarily borrow his general Huang Zhong. Previously, General Liu Pan and Huang Zhong had been stationed in Youxian County together, and Huang Zhong must be very familiar with the affairs of Changsha County, so presumably Brother Kong Xiu, you can think of what is the backhand I arranged, right? ”
"Huang Zhong, Youxian, my lord, you are right, Zhang Long, the commander of Zhang Long who participated in the Battle of Nanyang under your command before." Hearing this, Yin Guan wiped the three-inch short hair under his chin, pondered for more than a dozen breaths, and immediately widened his eyes, looked at Fu Tong in astonishment, and asked in shock.
"Yes, it's Captain Zhang Long." When Fu Tong heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and admitted.
On the surface, Zhang Long still served as the county magistrate of Changsha County, but in fact, Liu Biao privately appointed Zhang Long as the county lieutenant of Changsha County.
"Great, hehehe, it turns out that your lord is clever, and you have already thought of a countermeasure before accepting the task from Lord Zhoumu! It's really good, in this way, even if Sun Cejun can break through Linyuan County and the surrounding two counties, he may not be able to take the entire Wuling County again.
Unless, Sun Ce dares to tear his face directly with Zhang Xian in the future and lead his troops into Changsha County. After Yin Guan received an affirmative answer from Fu Tong, he immediately said happily.
As a native of Jingzhou, Yin Guan also did not want Sun Ce to seize the four counties of Jingnan, even if Sun Ce's father was the Taishou of Changsha County, but when Sun Jian was alive, together with Yuan Shu, he killed the Jingzhou Assassin and Nanyang County Taishou Zhang Zhi without authorization, which made the entire Jingzhou become turbulent before Liu Biao served as the Jingzhou Assassin, which made the people of Jingzhou, at least the people of the three northern counties of Jingzhou, hate Sun Jian very much.
Presumably, this is also the reason why Sun Jian was defeated in the hands of Huang Zu in the first place.
With Sun Jian's courage back then, let alone Huang Zu, even if Liu Biao personally led the army to attack him, he may not be Sun Jian's opponent.
Zhang Long in the Battle of Nanyang, because of Fu Tong and Zhang Hu's excellent performance, his talent, in Jingzhou except for Pang Tong and Kuai Liang, others knew nothing about it, but, just before, Zhang Long actually used a very small number of troops (3000 county soldiers) to successfully break through the Jianchang Governor's Mansion set up by Sun Ce, killed the Jianchang Governor Zulang, and almost invaded Luling County.
Although Zhang Long's troops had been successfully forced back by Zhou Yu's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, Zhang Long's victory had greatly boosted the morale of Liu Biaojun.
And Fu Tong suddenly made a clever move, so that Huang Zhong and Zhang Long, who also shined in the Battle of Nanyang, exchanged positions, Yin Guan can now be sure that Zhang Long must have been ordered to go to Rongcheng County.
You must know that the troops led by Zhang Long were originally from the county soldiers in the county seat of Youxian County, and they were originally from Changsha County, so he led the troops through other counties of Changsha County and entered Wuling County.
In fact, Zhang Xian also hoped in his heart that Zhang Long's entry into Wuling County this time would cause trouble to Sun Cejun again, and even hit him hard.
"Well, I hope so!" Hearing this, Fu Tong nodded, and said, "That wise man warned me that you should not underestimate your opponent at any time. What's more, unlike the state pastor, Sun Ce's subordinate military generals have a lot of wise and resourceful people, especially military generals, not only the three veterans left to him by his father Sun Jian who can fight in battle, but also the fierce generals recruited by Sun Ce himself from Jiangdong. Even, even among the Sun family, there are many handsome people.
Although we have to face a strong attack by Sun Ce himself, after all, there is a certain amount of preparation time, but Zhang Long has to rush from Youxian County to Rongcheng County first, and then he will have to face the follow-up troops of Sun Cejun's attack on the three counties of Jingnan. The pressure on them is no less than ours!
However, fortunately, since taking office, Huang Zu Na has installed his own men as commanders in the counties under the jurisdiction of Wuling County, and he and his appointed subordinates have actually recruited soldiers on a large scale. Perhaps for the purpose of balancing Zhang Xian, Lord Zhou Mu actually chose to sit idly by and watch Huang Zu's arrogant behavior. Zhang Long's trip to Rongcheng County will also be able to alleviate the problem of insufficient troops. ”
……
At this time, Zhang Long led him to recruit and train 3,000 recruits from Youxian County, and they had already entered Rongcheng County, and his speed of marching was much faster than Fu Tong imagined.
There are three reasons for this.
First, Huang Zhong also knew that the stakes were very high, so he and Fu Tong were separated as early as when they were in Yicheng County, and he traveled along the way, which shortened a lot of time for Zhang Long.
At the same time, the 3,000 soldiers under Huang Zhong's command were not counted among the total number of 20,000 soldiers of Fu Tong, but the elite of the Changsha soldiers that Liu Pan recruited from his original Youxian and brought to Fancheng, which was also the key to his ability to rush so quickly.
