Chapter 770: Undercurrent Frenzy
Birds streaked across the blue sky, masts like forests, swaying with the gentle undulations of the waves.
Faintly, there was the sound of war drums. Sun Ce fastened his armor, took the iron helmet on the desk, and strode out of the handsome tent with his armpits, he stood quietly for a while in the warm morning light, and under the closed eyes, blood flowed in the veins in the eyelids reflecting the light.
Not far away, there was the sound of soft footsteps.
"Brother doesn't sleep for a while?"
"I can't sleep, when I close my eyes, it's like I can see the public ......"
Sun Ce opened his eyes and let out a long breath, then took the big gun from the hand of the guards and walked towards the side of the bridge, while moving forward, Zhou Yu put on his armor, followed behind with a sword, and walked on the bridge with him, the sound of drums became clearer and clearer, and the entire water village had already moved, and countless soldiers began to assemble silently.
Then, in a long line, the captains of their respective teams, battalions, and captains shouted and reprimanded, and passed around the two people walking on the bridge, and the dense procession extended to the cabins leading to the ships of all sizes. Leaving here, the people in the water village are also making final preparations, one by one, carrying bows and crossbows and stone cannons onto the largest boat.
In the sound of the shouting trumpet, Zhou Yu walked with his brother for a while, the sky in the east became brighter and brighter, and he whispered: "Brother, are you ready to fight with the Jiangdong generals?" There was news that Dantu's Jiangdong naval army had moved, and it should have been expected that the war was imminent. β
"What do those generals under Sun Quan's command have to do with me? Kill and kill! β
In a deep voice, Sun Ce looked at the group of soldiers passing by beside him, including Xuzhou people and soldiers from all over the Central Plains, and their footsteps were still moving forward, "...... Stubborn people, don't know how to be flexible, don't know the trend of the times, it's good to die, and you won't be heartbroken for your brother! β
In the sky, the waterfowl flapped their wings and fell, stood on a wooden barrel on the deck, tilted their heads to look at the humans walking up, and then flew out again with a cry. Sun Ce walked up to the side of the boat and looked at the sparkling river, "Is there any news from Chen Wu?" How long has he been gone? β
"About half a month." After Zhou Yu finished saying this, he walked to his brother's side, and accompanied him to look at the river reflecting the sparkling light, "At this time, it should be time to arrive at the sentence, if it goes well, General Han has already read his brother's letter, he should know your handwriting." There was a pause in his tone, and he couldn't help but be a little worried when he looked into the distance, "Yu is afraid that although Yigong and them are brave, Sun Quan has been in control of Jiangdong for a long time, and there are many cronies and generals around him......"
Sun Ce frowned and snorted: "You have read too many books, so you have a lot to worry about." At the beginning, even the Mediterranean Sea in Daqin's house flowed once, and he was still worried about this river now? In the past, you and I were able to defeat Jiangdong, so what's the harm in fighting again this time. β
The iron helmet was put on the top of his head, and the big gun in his hand that drank the blood of countless enemies slammed the deck at the moment when the words fell, and he turned around violently, and the cloak unfolded and floated on the side of the ship, "Order!" Set sailβ"
The bird's field of vision overlooked, and among the shouts of people's voices, the forest-like mast raised the sails, the wind blew, and the horn sounded on the huge gate ship painted with animal face patterns, and a group of ships formed a huge fleet to guard the surroundings, slowly sailing away from the Shuizhai ferry, and the turbulent flowing river was pushed away in front of the sailing hull layer by layer.
The giant boat broke the waves.
β¦β¦
There are no clouds, and the sky and the earth are vast.
Qua.
In the barracks, the soldiers sweated like rain in the school field, and the faint screams were transmitted into the middle tent, Tai Shici sat behind the case to deal with the military affairs that were busy every day, since the old lord Sun Ce participated in the Western Expedition, he was transferred out of the central circle, and together with a group of old ministers who followed Sun Ce to defeat Jiangdong, such as Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang....., etc., were arranged to go to the rear, either into the mountains to suppress the Yue people, or to attack Jiaozhou, which was more difficult to face.
Later, the news of Huang Gai's death came, which made him unbearable for a while, and he almost took his gun to Jianye and took the army to Jianye to find Sun Quan to ask him clearly, why people died is unknown.
After a moment, the tip of the pen stopped, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, and when he raised his head, a soldier was already half-kneeling at the mouth of the tent, holding a stack of letters in his hand: "General Qiyu, someone has sent a letter outside." β
"At this juncture of the war, all letters from unknown sources will not be accepted, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the lord." Tai Shi Ci stroked his beard and ordered the soldier to take the letter and burn it quietly. After a while, when he wrote another word, he noticed that the figure standing half-kneeling had not left, frowned and looked up, the soldier hesitated, but still said: "General, the messenger said that there is an urgent matter inside, and the general will understand when he sees it, and he looks very anxious when he looks at her, not like a fine work." β
"Show me it."
Tai Shi Ci put down his pen and ink, got up and took the letter from the other party's hand, unfolded it and looked at it for a moment, and raised his head suddenly: "Where is that person now?" What does it look like? There is only one content in the letter: Cheng Pu was relieved of his military power in Jurong and was taken prisoner and sent to Jianye.
"The voice was a woman, unkempt, couldn't see what it looked like, gave the letter to the lowly post and left, saying that she was going to Jianye."
In the tent, the tall figure pinched the plain silk and walked back and forth a few steps, his eyes stayed on the spear and double halberd on the rack for a while, turned his head and ordered: "Order the soldiers and horses, and go out of the camp with the general." β
"General, but the lord has orders in front of ......"
On the weapon rack, the double halberd drew two trajectories, which were carried on the back, the beard turned and floated with the figure, and the decisive voice fell: "In this army, Ben General is the biggest, what he said doesn't work!" Stretched out his hand and grabbed the spear, "This wolf-hearted and dog-lunged man, wait to save the old general Cheng, and then deal with him, really I am too Shi Ziyi to have no temper, or what!" β
After a while, the 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Qu'a rushed out of the barracks and headed west for Jurong.
Under another piece of sky, the military camp outside Juzhang City was in full swing, outside the soldiers who practiced in the school field every day, a large number of soldiers were polishing their weapons, and the Yue people from the mountains were tied up in the corners, as many as thousands of people, some of whom were injured several times, and they were no longer moving, and then they were pulled out of the crowd by the Jiangdong soldiers who came over and carried them to the outside of the camp to be buried.
Han Dang sat in the tent and looked at the silk in his hand, and raised his head from time to time to look at Chen Wu who was sitting on the side. Also sitting in the tent are the rest of the generals in the army, as well as his son Han Zong.
"Hmph-"
The palm of his hand pressed against Su Bo and suddenly slapped it on the table, the moment Han Dang's face changed, he stood up suddenly, and his voice was raised: "You dare to cheat me, and take down this person who eats inside and outside for meββ"
"General Han!" Chen Wu's face also changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stood up, but he was still pressed by the general sitting left and right in this tent drawing his sword and pressing his neck, the cold sword edge was against his skin, and he arched his hand: "General Han, you are the old man next to Wu Hou, you watched him grow up, this trace should be able to see that it is true." β
"Marquis Wu was sealed by the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and if it was not given by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he would not recognize it." Han Dang threw the silk aside, walked out of the long case according to the hilt of the sword, and looked at Chen Wu between the swordsmen, "This general only respects the lord, not to mention that your handwriting can also be imitated, and the content in it is only one-sided, it is nothing more than a discord between the monarch and the minister, take this person down, and take care of it for the time being." β
Chen Wu struggled to pull out the big tent, and he was still shouting: "General Han! General Han! This letter was really written by Wu Hou, and before the old general died, the last general was in Wu Hou's army......."
"The death of the old general has a lot to do with this person, and he must be sent to the lord to wait for his fate."
Han Dang stood in the middle angrily and scolded again, and waved his hand to the generals who were looking at each other: "Go out, you stay in the barracks, and pull these Shanyue to Huiji County as coolies!" Saying that, he scolded and went back again, and after that, everyone in the big tent left one after another, and Han Zong came over to approach his father: "This Chen Wu doesn't look like he is cheating." β
"Naturally, the Father knew that he was not a liar, and that this epistle was true." Han Dang glanced at his bewildered son, stroked his beard and laughed: "If my father takes this Chen Wu recklessly in the past, and he hasn't arrived in Jianye yet, I'm afraid that he will be stopped halfway, and he will not let me wait for him to go over first." β
Han Zong nodded suddenly: "The golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell? β
Han Dang in the first place did not respond, just looked at the scene outside the tent and thought about something, soon, Huiji Taishou Luo Jun received the news that Chen Wu was captured by Han Dang, and hurriedly brought people over, in the barracks, there were only thousands of soldiers left to guard Shanyue prisoners, and the other party's headquarters had not returned from the camp as early as a day ago, and asked the rest of the generals in the army, someone joked: "General Han didn't want me to share the credit, so he took Chen Wu to Jianye to ask for a reward." β
"The golden cicada sheds its shell...... Hiding from the world...... This Han Yigong!! Luo Jun gritted his teeth and said, his eyes swept over the several generals in the army, stomped his feet angrily, and hurriedly flew out of the gate, and immediately sent soldiers from the county to chase after him.
As for whether he can catch up, Luo Jun has tried his best, he is a talented man raised by Sun Quan, and he has a very good set of governance, but militarily, it seems a little weak, and the war since this period of time has also affected this side, hearing the news of Huang Gai's death, he has some emotion in his heart, but it is just the thing behind it, who is black and who is white, it doesn't really matter to him, not to mention that his biological mother is still the concubine of Sikong Huaxin of the Jin Dynasty...... Just need to govern the place, stand on the city wall and watch the play of Jiangdong, with him thinking like this, in this land, there are many, and even some hope to end this war soon, after all, the Yangtze River has cut off trade in the north and south, and many people's work has also been broken, some people instigated, some people hysterically looked for the government to discuss the law, and then they were beaten out.
Resentment is rife.
However, in this scene, Cheng Pu, who played an important role, was captured in Jurong and was on his way to Jianye...... Farther direction, Da Qiao and his son Sun Shao also passed Wuxi at this time, and in the warm spring season of April, countless undercurrents are gathering.
