Chapter 1213 Yan State Secret Minister, Crossing the River
Night, jet black!
The wind is rising!
River, angry waves!
Silence!
In the Shu military camp, the bonfire gradually extinguished, and in the wisps of flames, a faint light smoke came out.
Inside the tent, most of the soldiers slept, and outside the tent, a few patrolmen, holding short swords, carrying bows and crossbows, with a sleepy face and a slight vigilance, shuttled through the camp.
From time to time, there was a sound of haze, and the captain scolded.
Wu Zhaochi, Lu Dongyuan stayed in the military tent nearby, almost at the same time, two soldiers walked out, urinated near the military tent, wandered, made sure that there were no patrols nearby, cautiously moved forward, slipped into Wu Zhaochi, Lu Dongyuan's military tent.
At this moment, Wu Zhaochi and Lu Dongyuan's guards had already been arranged to rest, and in the military tent, it was dim and dark, and they couldn't see their five fingers.
Whether it is Wu Zhaochi or Lu Dongyuan, there is no rest. Sit cross-legged in the high position of the military tent. Wait for the command.
During the day, the members of the Yan State Dark Sword in the mixed camp reported earlier that the soldiers came with news late at night to deploy to welcome the crossing of the Yan army in Jiangbei.
The two soldiers slipped into the tent, and seemed to know Wu Zhaochi in advance, Lu Dongyuan did not rest, moved to the center of the tent, and handed the letter in his arms to Wu Zhaochi, Lu Dongyuan, and immediately, silently withdrew from the tent.
After a while, there were shouts and begs for mercy in the camp, and gradually the camp was quiet.
Wu Zhaochi, Lu Dongyuan took out the fire fold, opened the letter, borrowed the light to browse the content of the letter, remembered in his heart, and burned it respectively.
"Wu Zhaochi?"
"Lu Dongyuan?"
In the two military tents that are far away, reading letters, Wu Zhaochi, Lu Dongyuan, cautious cheeks, full of surprise and surprise.
They came from a family of fishermen and salt sellers in Jiangbei, and they were selected by the dark sword to help them learn the art of war.
Four years ago and three years ago, he joined the Yangtze River Water Division.
In the past few years, with the support of the dark sword, in the war, he has continued to make contributions, from a fledgling soldier, to a decisive general in the Yangtze River Water Division.
Each of them knows the task of hiding their names in the Yangtze River Naval Division, so over the years, they have successfully recruited some Zheng Guo Naval Divisions, recruited Jiangbei fishermen, and formed a naval division with excellent combat effectiveness.
However, before reading the letter, they had no idea that their colleagues who had been with each other day and night had the same mission as themselves.
Even for a long time, due to different strategies, because of weak military achievements, there are mutual suspicions, open and secret battles.
All efforts, conscientious, and trembling, do not dare to be careless, for fear of being found out by others, leading to the disaster of death.
Who knows, the emperor is a step ahead, and in the Yangtze River Sailor, he arranged two secret ministers.
After a brief moment of surprise and consternation, their thoughts gradually subsided.
The Yan army marched south and unified the country.
Emperor Yan and his ministers have been planning for many years, and they have crossed the river on iron horses, which is related to the Yan army's conquest of Jiangnan, and it is extremely dangerous to arrange a secret minister alone.
If there is any accident, all efforts will be wasted, and it will also affect the southern expedition of the Yan army.
It's just that they didn't expect Emperor Yan to act, so cautious, if it weren't for the visit of the dark sword, they wouldn't know the other party's true identity at all.
After a little silence, without any hesitation, Wu Zhaochi and Lu Dongyuan got up one after another, left the military tent, and walked towards the edge of the Yangtze River.
In the camp, encounters,
The surrounding patrols shuttled, Wu Zhaochi smiled on his face, and said unhurriedly: "General Lu, don't come unharmed!"
Lu Dongyuan heard Wu Zhaochi's voice, and also understood the true identity of the other party, and sighed: "I met General Wu by chance at night, what an accident!"
Immediately, a playful smile appeared on his face, and a smile of enmity and hatred.
Wu Zhaochi looked at Jiangbei, glanced at the patrol troops shuttling around him, and proposed: "General Lu, the Yan army is cunning, and the heart of death is not dead, it is very likely that the Yangtze River fortress will be attacked at night in the near future, and the night will be long, and you have no intention of sleeping, so you might as well go with Wu and go to the riverbank to inspect?"
"Of course, the marshal has repeated orders, vigilance and prudence, and Lu does not dare to take it lightly." Lu Dongyuan nodded slightly.
Immediately, they slowly walked out of the camp. Walking towards the Yangtze River, while moving forward, while talking in a low voice,
Arriving at the riverside, finding out the source of the rolling waves and deafening places, and making sure that there was no one next to him, Wu Zhaochi's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Okay, you Lu Dongyuan, you are from the north, you eat the king's luck, but you don't share the king's worries. Secretly colluding with the Northern Yan Army."
"General Wu, each other!" Lu Yuandong said with a smile.
At this time, Wu Zhaochi's cold face gradually receded, and he said in a low voice: "General Lu, since you have come to the riverside, it means that the general is willing to give up the glory, wealth and status of Shu and prepare to join the Yan army."
"The general trend is the inevitable and we can't help but make a decision, not to mention that without Emperor Yan, how can Lu have today's status." Lu Dongyuandao.
"Heroes see the same thing!" Wu Zhaochi smiled.
Whether it is Wu Zhaochi or Lu Dongyuan, their hearts are like mirrors.
Emperor Yan spent money, food, energy, constantly sent prisoners, fishermen, and even sacrificed the northern territories, so that they continued to make contributions in the Shu army, and its purpose, in addition to crossing the river cheaply, also included borrowing the financial resources of Shu State, training the experience of sailors, and building Yan State Sailors.
If they have ghosts in their hearts and dare to take refuge in Shu, not to mention, their family members in Jiangbei will be killed.
Just the dark sword revealed each other's identities, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in the Yangtze River sailors.
The Dark Sword is an unusual person, as long as they show signs of treachery, they will strike with thunder, and then they will be fast.
What's more, Yan Qi dominates the north, goes to the south of the Yangtze River, and annexes the south, which is just around the corner.
For this reason, they can only be loyal to the Yan Kingdom and constantly complete the tasks from Jiangbei.
Sure that the two sides had no intention of betraying, Wu Zhaochi went straight to the point and said: "General Lu, Hou Shuai sent a dark sword to send a message and order you and me to prepare for action, what is the general's good plan?"
On the Yangtze River front, there are 100,000 sailors, and they are in charge of a lot, while in the north of the Yangtze River, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, as long as part of them are transported across the river, they can change the situation that the enemy is strong and we are weak. At that time, it was easy to control the Yangtze River Sailors.
Lu Dongyuan was silent for a moment and said, "General Wu, you must have a good way to lead the naval division under your command to patrol in the center of the river according to the usual practice, get close to the Yan army, and master the terrain of the north of the river."
"General Lu, self-observation, Hou Shuai was prepared early, in addition, in the battle with Hou Shuai, he deliberately left a few cronies in the sailor division to report to Hou Shuai on the defense of the Yangtze River, and the dark sword came to report, Hou Shuai ordered Wu to send a warship to Jiangbei tomorrow night to transport ironclad infantry across the river." Wu Zhaochi Daoming ordered from Jiangbei.
Immediately, Wu Zhaochi's face was a little worried, and he continued: "Wu Mou led the troops to patrol Jiangxin for half a month, according to Hao Longsen's cautious style, when he reports tomorrow, he will definitely order Li Feibai to lead the troops to patrol Jiangxin, so only General Lu takes the initiative to ask Ying, and leads the troops to patrol in Jiangxin, in the dead of night, is the best time for us to act."
When Lu Dongyuan heard this, he was silent, thought for a moment, and said: "You and I have 30,000 sailors, why don't you kill Hao Longsen and Li Feibai in the south of the Yangtze River, make meritorious contributions, and then welcome Hou Shuai to lead the troops to cross the river, which can be regarded as a hidden defense line on the Yangtze River for many years, and return to Yan Kingdom, you and I will give the emperor a great gift."
There are 100,000 naval divisions in the Yangtze River defense line, Hao Longsen controls as many as half, 500 warships, and the three deputy generals each control more than 10,000 warships.
Lu Dongyuan's proposal is tempting, but it is too dangerous. If they fail, they will die, and they will fight the grass and startle the snake, and the Jiangbei sailors will want to cross the river into Shu, and the difficulty will be doubled.
"General Lu, at the critical moment, don't be greedy for merit, in Hou Shuai's letter, I ask you and me to act cautiously, or the ferry will meet Yan Cai across the Yangtze River, unite with the iron cavalry, and then make a move to Hao Longsen and Li Feibai." Wu Zhaochi rejects Lu Dongyuan's proposal.
After all, Hao Longsen and Li Feibai have a total of 70,000 soldiers, and if there is internal strife in the south of the Yangtze River, Hao Longsen and Li Feibai will fight to the death, and the consequences will be serious.
"It's fine." Lu Dongyuan immediately proposed: "However, Lu proposed to welcome the ironclad infantry to cross the river, and at dawn, when Hao Longsen went out to patrol the camp, General Wu captured him alive in advance."
"It's nature." Wu Zhaochi readily agreed.
Capture Hao Longsen alive, Jiangnan highlighted the Yan army, they led the troops to kill, and they were bound to deal a major blow to the Yangtze River Naval Division.
In recent days, the panicked Yangtze River sailors must be like frightened birds, and they can only flee in all directions.
After arranging the deployment in detail, Wu Zhaochi and Lu Dongyuan talked and laughed and returned to the camp.
The next day, as if Wu Zhaochi guessed, Hao Longsen really changed his guard and asked Wu Zhaochi to take the sailors of the Yangtze River back to the camp.
At this time, Lu Dongyuan stepped forward, took the initiative to invite Ying, and led the troops to Jiangxin to inspect, which was approved and praised by Hao Longsen.
Immediately, Lu Dongyuan led the sailors, took a warship, went to the center of the river to patrol, sent a few soldiers, docked the ferry, and stormed Jiangbei.
This naturally includes his own cronies, carrying letters, and reporting the war in Jiangnan to Hou Mingfeng.
Hou Mingfeng knew that as long as Wu Zhaochi and Lu Dongyuan led the troops to attack, the captured Shu army would definitely pass on the news to the existence of spies.
Zhao Hongru led the troops to the prisoner camp, and sure enough, there was a Jiangnan messenger, who did not hesitate to lead his cronies to the tent.
The messenger came to the tent, saw Hou Mingfeng, did not dare to hesitate, and said: "General, General Lu, General Wu, are ready to prepare in Jiangnan?"
Immediately, he untied his armor, took out an envelope from it, and sent it to Hou Mingfeng.
After receiving the letter, Hou Mingfeng browsed it in detail, describing the deployment of Jiangnan and the preparations made in Jiangnan.
Looking at it, Hou Mingfeng said to Zhao Hongru without hesitation: "Hongru, Jiangnan is ready, we should prepare."
"Everything is ready, it's time to act!" ZHAO Hongru.
At noon, the generals of the Yan army discussed the battle and formulated the battle plan early.
According to the deployment, Zhao Hongru and the ironclad infantry took the lead in crossing the river and heading to Jiangnan.
If the Jiangnan Shu army noticed, immediately led the troops to kill, if the Jiangnan Shu army, did not know, chose to stand still, wait for dawn, start attacking.
At this time, Hou Mingfeng stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Hongru on the shoulder and said: "Hongru, lead the troops to Jiangnan, act cautiously, if you have not shaken the other party, or be detected by the Shu army, you must insist, the warship will move forward, I will send a flying army to escort you!"
"Don't worry, the war in Jiangnan is far less serious than imagined, I will act cautiously!" Zhao Hongru was full of confidence.
