The 319th time, crossing the river in white
“…… No problem, next, show your proof of clearance! ”
Wuchang is the dividing line between Xun Gang and Sun Ce, and since then facing south is Sun Ce's territory, so Wuchang's defense is quite tight, and everyone who comes and goes must be checked clearly. Although Xun Gang issued a policy www.biquge.info of tolerating businessmen, in order to prevent the appearance of spies, even if he was a child, he had to be investigated.
Because Sun Ce's troops were stationed south of Wuchang before, they even refused to pass back and forth for a while, but because Zhou Yu was "seriously ill", it was a switch at the moment, which just gave Lu Meng and others a chance to pass.
The 1,000 men led by Lü Meng were the first to pass here, as if they had come to test the waters; He had 50 men as his entourage, and the remaining 900 men were all hidden in the cabin, bound hand and foot, pretending to be slaves, and his weapons were hidden in the mezzanine to prevent them from being searched.
In order to prevent the enemy's surveillance, Lü Meng returned to Chaisang from the Tun army, and then traveled to Wuchang from Chaisang disguised as a merchant, and his actions were quite cautious; At this moment, I am about to pass the test, and I can't help but feel a little apprehensive in my heart.
"Very good...... Next! ”
Since the checkpoint was on land, Lü Meng had to temporarily moor the ship on the water and disembark to hand in the official documents. He forced himself to be calm, and said to the soldier with a smile on his face: "This big brother, I am a businessman from Yangzhou, this is the first time to do business, I don't know what official documents are needed?" ”
Looking at Lu Meng's flattering smile, the soldiers guarding the gate were not surprised, it seemed that the businessmen were like this, so he replied lightly: "If you are a businessman who has just come to Jingzhou, go there and queue up to report your name and household registration to receive customs clearance documents, soon!" ”
Lu Meng looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and found that a big hole had been opened at the door of the checkpoint, and a person sitting inside seemed to be writing something, and there was already a long queue outside, which couldn't help but surprise Lu Meng, what kind of black technology is this? Isn't it a chance to make holes in the top of the level for the enemy?
"Get out of the way! The people in the back still have to pass the level! ”
At the urging of the soldiers, Lu Meng had no choice but to line up; He originally planned to bribe the soldiers guarding the gate, but when he heard that Xun Gang's subordinates did not accept bribes, it was enough, so he dispelled this idea.
As the soldier said, the efficiency of this office window was indeed high, and after waiting for another half an hour, it was finally Lu Meng's turn. Lu Meng took a closer look at this window, it was boxy, and a master book inside was writing documents, which looked quite ordinary, just like the current office window, but it was more efficient.
After the man asked Lu Meng's name, household registration and the purpose of coming to Jingzhou, he directly handed over the official document, and Lu Meng was quite shocked when he saw it, this is the legendary guard? How do you feel that this is a little less rigorous!
But Lü Meng didn't want to cause trouble, so he handed over the official document to the guards at the gate, and the soldier saw that he was really here to do business, and asked, "What are you selling in Jingzhou?" ”
Lu Meng hurriedly smiled and said, "Slave trade." ”
The slave trade is indeed not an uncommon thing, the soldier only nodded lightly when he heard this, and sent someone to follow Lu Meng to the ship to carefully count it, confirmed that what Lu Meng said was correct, and let him pass.
Lu Meng felt that except for the time it took to make this operation, the others were simply too easy, so easy that even he couldn't believe it. Could it be that the so-called heavily guarded is like this? This is too pediatric, isn't it?
But he didn't know that Wuchang was only the first stop, and the back checkpoints such as Jiangxia, Xiakou, Chuyang, Yicheng, and Xiangyang were more difficult than one level. Because it is possible for the merchants passing by Jiangxia to go to Nanjun, the more they advance to Xiangyang, the more rigorous the investigation becomes, and when they arrive in Xiangyang, it is very likely that they will lift the wooden planks for you to see if you have any private weapons.
If you want to enter Jiangxia City, it is actually not much different from going to Xiangyang, but because Lu Meng only passed through Jiangxia, it is extremely easy; When I arrived at Xiakou, because the Han water division here is two roads, one way towards Xiangyang and one way towards Jiangling. Treating people who go to different places, Xun Gang's policy rigor is also different. If a person who arrives in Xiakou is a new merchant, he must strictly check his household registration, leave a portrait, and inspect the cabin, although he does not have to pay money, but it is extremely troublesome.
But when you go to Jiangling, because it is Liu Bei's territory, you only need to show the previous certificate.
All the way went smoothly, Lu Meng himself couldn't believe that it would be so smooth, but if he wanted to attack Xiangyang or Jiangxia with this, he would inevitably be caught in the urn!
After passing the Xiakou, Lü Meng marched towards Wulin, still passing the pass in white clothes, and took advantage of the fact that Liu Bei's troops guarding Wulin were not paying attention, and took Wulin in one go, and closed all the gates, so as not to let anyone escape, nor change the flag, so as not to startle the snake.
In the next three days, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses arrived in Wulin one after another, and the operation was so smooth that even Sun Ce and Zhou Yu couldn't believe it.
"I'm waiting for Ulin, Gangneung is close at hand! Before the enemy can react, immediately send troops, there must be no mistake! ”
Sun Ce ordered that Lu Meng, Huang Gai, and Cheng Pu should be the vanguard, leading the army with 3,000, Zhou Yu as the center, leading the army with 3,000, and leading the army as the rearguard, leading the army with 4,000, and killing towards Jiangling.
Jiangling defenders Liu Pan and Huo Jun were really caught off guard, and in the face of the attack of 10,000 people, they hurriedly led their troops to defend the city, and finally held the enemy's rapid attack before their own formation was defeated. This made Sun Ce a little distressed, he didn't expect the enemy army to be such a good general, wouldn't he let himself fall short in this surprise attack?
Zhou Yu offered advice: "The lord should divide his troops into two ways to resist Liu Bei's men and horses from Western Shu and Jingnan, and the army will continue to attack Jiangling." Gangneung has only 3,000 defenders, and although the city is high, it is not difficult to take it. ”
Sun Ce allowed him to lead 2,000 troops to garrison Yiling to resist the Zigui people; Huang Gai led a thousand troops to garrison Jiangjin to defend against the public security men. He and Lu Meng and Zhou Yu attacked Jiangling.
Liu Pan and Sun Ce have always had a grudge, and now when they saw Sun Ce dividing his troops, he intended to go out of the city to try him, so he ignored Huo Jun's dissuasion and led the troops to fight, but he was defeated by Sun Ce, and had to return to the city to hold on.
The words were divided into two ends, and Ma Zhong, the general of Ba County, suddenly learned that Zigui had stationed Sun Ce's army, and thought that Jiangling must be trapped, but now the news has not yet been sent, and he can't help but be shocked. Although he didn't know how Sun Ce and the others secretly arrived in Jiangling, he still hurriedly reported the matter to Liu Bei in Chengdu.
When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly summoned his staff to ask about countermeasures, and Pang Tong said: "Although we don't know what kind of strategy Sun Ce used to hide from our eyes, but now that Jiangling is guarded by Huo Jun, Sun Ce intends to attack it urgently, and it should not be easy." The lord should quickly send troops to defend Jiangling, and take advantage of the situation to take Jiangdong in one fell swoop to defend against Cao Cao! ”
Everyone thought so, Liu Bei followed, and said in his heart: Little Sun Ce, but relying on Sun Quan's funds, what is his ability? If it weren't for Sun Quan's death, with his Sun Ce's ability, I'm afraid that he would have already known where he died!
So he stayed in Fazheng and Huang Zhong to guard Hanzhong, and led the army to conquer Sun Ce.
The battle of Sun Liu is about to break out.
