When the generals heard that Guo Chongtao still had a strategy to break the enemy, they all looked excited, but Guo Chongtao said very mysteriously: "This plan cannot be said now, the general will launch an attack on the Liang army as decided just now, if he successfully defeats the Liang army within eight days, then he will not need the strategy below; If you can't defeat the Liang army in eight days, it's not too late to talk about it later! ”

Seeing that Guo Chongtao insisted on selling Guanzi, the generals refused to say it directly, and immediately had no choice but to think crankily in their hearts.

It's a pity that no matter how much they think, they can't guess what plan Guo Chongtao has in mind, so they can only give up stupidly.

……

Compared with the sorrow on the side of the Wu army, the side of the Liang army was naturally elated, and the atmosphere was good.

Last night, we just won a big victory, sweeping away the decline of the days, and this morning I got such a good news, and the generals are naturally in a good mood.

After last night's victory, the officers and men of all departments were more united and fully accepted Kou Yanqing as the commander.

At this time, they all had the confidence to hold out until the arrival of the Shu army.

After all, the camps that were breached by the Wu army before were only garrisoned by a small number of troops, and the main force of the Liang army had not yet been used.

Although the Wu army also did not use the main force, even if the Wu army could continue to launch a fierce attack as it had done before, it would not be so easy to completely defeat the Liang army.

To hold on to the arrival of the Shu army, all the generals are full of confidence in their hearts.

Of course, they don't know when the Shu army will arrive.

Although Wang Zongshou mentioned in the news sent to Kou Yanqing that he could come to the meeting in five days at most, everyone was an old man, and they all knew that this five days was not enough to believe.

At the very least, everyone felt in their hearts that it would be appropriate to make this time as loose as possible.

But even if the time was doubled, and the Shu army came to join the Liang army after ten days, everyone didn't think it was difficult to hold on for ten days.

Kou Yanqing even told the generals that as long as they could successfully join the Shu army, then their task would not only be to relieve the siege of Jiangling, but also to take the opportunity to defeat the Wu army, so that the Wu army would not dare to think about Jiangling again in a few years.

After listening to Kou Yanqing's words, although the generals felt a little too confident, no one dared to stand up against it at this time, after all, it was too bad for Kou Yanqing to lose face.

When the generals were discussing how to deal with it next, a news that made the generals even more excited came: Liu Yan had already led his troops to Xiangzhou and could go south to support at any time.

At the same time, the army brought by Liu Cheng was not the 10,000 army as expected, but 15,000 troops.

If there is the support of this fifteen-thousand-strong army, the strength of the Liang army will be further improved, and then it will join the Shu army, and then defeat the Wu army in one fell swoop, so that the Wu army will not dare to touch Jiangling in a short time, which is really possible!

For a time, the morale of the Liang army was greatly boosted, as if victory was in sight.

……

Outside Gangneung City, the weather is sunny and the spring breeze is warm, standing under the sun, making people feel refreshed.

After these days of recuperation, Yang Wu's condition has improved greatly, although he has not fully recovered, but as long as he rests for a few more days, there must be no problem at all.

At this time, he was sitting on his horse and galloping slowly through the camp under the escort of the guards.

The weather has been so good for the past two days, and he has just been sick again, and he has been in the camp for too long, so he naturally wants to come out and move.

However, after all, there were Jingnan army activities outside the camp, and it was not very safe, so in desperation, Yang Wu had to ride a horse and trot a few laps inside the camp to move his body.

And next to him, there are naturally indispensable escorts.

At this time, the escort who accompanied him, in addition to the guards, there were two other people, one of whom was a young man, and the other was an old man with gray hair and beard.

The young man was naturally Zhou Zong, but the old man was Qianzhou Tan Quanbo.

After all, Tan Quanbo is an old man in his eighties, although Yang Wu personally ordered him to be sent to Jiangling, but the people who escorted him were afraid that he would die halfway, so he not only took great care of him along the way, but also did not urge him to speed up the journey, but walked slowly, and did not arrive until yesterday.

However, when Tan Quanbo arrived at the camp yesterday, it was late after all, and Tan Quanbo's face was full of tiredness along the way, so Yang Wu didn't summon him last night and directly let him rest.

Today is the first time this person has been summoned.

After slowly running around the camp for two laps, the white horse under Yang Wu's seat also sweated finely, although it was not to the point where he needed to breathe, but it was also warmed up.

After urging the horse to gallop quickly up a small slope, Yang Wu stopped and looked into the distance.

From here, you can see the situation in Jiangling City from a distance, but at this time, Yang Wu's mood is not on Jiangling City.

He smiled and said to Tan Quanbo beside him: "Mr. Tan, this journey from Qianzhou, do you have any feelings?" ”

Tan Quanbo smiled bitterly: "The old man's vain attempt to confront a big country with the land of Qianzhou is originally wishful thinking, but it has caused many innocent people to die, which is the crime of the old man!" ”

Yang Wu was a little displeased when he heard this, but then he was relieved, waved his hand, and said, "Don't say more about this time!" When the two armies are at war, there is not so much right and wrong to speak of. ”

Tan Quanbo didn't know what Yang Wu meant by this, so he didn't answer immediately.

This defeat and capture still hit him very hard.

Originally, after Li Qiu staged a mutiny and killed Lu Yanchang, he realized that Qianzhou would eventually fall into the hands of Wu.

However, at that time, Li Qiu regarded him as a thorn in the flesh and wanted to put him to death immediately.

In that case, Tan Quanbo had no choice but to call himself sick in order to protect himself.

A series of changes that happened later were not expected by him.

First, Li Qiu suddenly fell ill and died, and then Li Yantu was killed by the generals, and the generals did not dare to come forward in the face of the situation of the Wu army's soldiers, and finally forced him to be the assassin of Qianzhou.

At that time, Tan Quanbo already knew that the general trend of Qianzhou had gone, and he originally planned to surrender to Wu, but who knew that Liu Xin did not give them a chance, and finally forced the defenders to resist, which eventually led to the current situation.

Recalling that because of that war, I don't know how many people in Qianzhou finally fell, he was always a little uneasy in his heart.

Because those people were gathered under his call, if it weren't for his high prestige, if they were replaced by Lu Yanchang or Li Qiu and Li Yantu, they would not have been able to let the people come to help defend the city so enthusiastically.

Therefore, he always felt that he needed to be responsible for the death of those people in the defense of the city.

Just when Tan Quanbo was thinking wildly, Yang Wu on the side suddenly said: "You are also a Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty, and my Wu Kingdom also regards the Tang Dynasty as orthodox, so your Jinshi status can still be used in my Wu Kingdom." Lone is going to make you a doctor acolyte, what do you think? ”

Yang Wu didn't give Tan Quanbo an official on a whim, but only after the first battle in Qianzhou.

After all, before this, although Tan Quanbo was known as "Little Zhuge " and was known for his resourcefulness, Wu Guo did not lack an octogenarian like him to give advice.

However, after seeing this person's high prestige in the first battle of Qianzhou, he found that he really needed to win over this person, because his reputation in Qianzhou and even Lingnan was indeed very high.

What's more, the situation in Lingnan is not well understood by everyone in Jinling City, and everyone is just peeking into Lingnan through some hearsay news, and everyone is not very clear about what it actually is.

But Tan Quanbo is different, the land of Qianzhou is very close to Lingnan, and Shaozhou originally belonged to Lingnan, so it can be said that Tan Quanbo knows Lingnan very well.

In addition, Tan Quanbo also led the troops to defeat Liu Yin at the beginning, and had direct experience in fighting with the Qing Navy.

Therefore, Yang Wu planned to learn more about Lingnan from Tan Quanbo, so as to facilitate the attack on Lingnan in the future.

However, his plan was obviously a little frustrated, Tan Quanbo was originally in a state of retirement in Qianzhou, and he has been recuperating at home; After the First World War in Qianzhou, he had no idea of becoming an official.

So he politely refused: "The old man thanks the king, but the old man is old, frail and sickly, and his memory is not to go to the time when he was young, and he will be confused from time to time." Therefore, the old man did not dare to take on the position given by the king, so as not to delay the king's major affairs! ”

Yang Wu frowned, the attendant doctor said that it was a false position, equivalent to a consultant in the future, providing a little advice when there was something, and being very idle when there was nothing to do, which was just right for Tan Quanbo to retire.

But since he refused like this, Yang Wu naturally couldn't force this person anymore.

Of course, he didn't plan to let him go like this, after all, he still wanted to learn more about Lingnan from Tan Quanbo.

Just as he was trying to ask Tan Quanbo for some news about Lingnan, Fan Yu hurriedly rode over.

"King, urgent news from Jingmen!"

Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped asking and looked at Fan Yu.

Fan Yunai returned to Jiangling two days ago, after the official battle on the Jingmen side, the situation between the enemy and our army gradually became clear, and the role of the long sword spy was not as great as before the war, so he arranged for one of his subordinates to stay in the army, and then returned to Yang Wu by himself.

Hurried to Yang Wu's side, he handed a document in his hand to Yang Wu, and then glanced at Tan Quanbo again, and stopped talking.

Tan Quanbo lived for more than eighty years, and he had never seen any situation, so he immediately understood that Fan Yu was letting himself leave.

So he immediately asked Yang Wu for his resignation, saying that he wanted to go back and take a rest.

Yang Wu naturally agreed.

After Tan Quanbo left, Yang Wu did not rush to open the paperwork to read, but asked directly: "The news from Jingmen, but what happened to the war?" Has our army been defeated? ”

His face was gloomy and he asked in a cold voice.

"This ......" Fan Yu looked hesitant, not knowing how to answer, so he had to point to the document and say to Yang Wu: "The war is indeed unfavorable, and the king will know the specific situation after reading it." ”
