Chapter 471: Secretly repair the plank road and cross the river brightly
Jia Xu did not hide at all on the other side, for fear that others would not know that he was going to force the crossing of the lake, and constantly sent people along the coast to attack the fishing boats in the village.
Jia Xudi arranged to fall into the Lujiang River and Jiangdong defenders, and the Jiangdong generals abided by their duties and held the city. The Lujiang guard sent scouts to investigate, and learned that Jia Xu was arresting the people everywhere and secretly building a plank road along the river that went directly to the other side of the Jiujiang River.
Lu Jiang Shou quickly sent the news back to Jianye.
Sun Quan convened hundreds of civil and military officials to analyze the war. Jia Xu's style made Sun Quan very uneasy, Sun Shiwan didn't know how to lead troops to fight, the soldiers were weird, Jia Xu's style made him believe it. If Hukou was really captured by the ground cavalry led by Jia Xu, the land army of the Jiangdong army would be cut into two sections, and it would be difficult for the land and water army to blockade the river to pose a mortal threat to the Chang'an army. Once Jia Xu attacked the city all the way by land, the six counties of Jiangdong were in danger.
Zhang Hong saw that Sun Quan was restless and lost the majesty of the king, so he explained: "The king is worried. The ships in Jiangbei are all fishing boats and small boats, and our army's equipment is all building ships and sterns, don't look at the spectacular momentum on the other side, even if our army only fights one warship, it can also break the other fleet. On the surface of the river, only I, Jiangdong, am the only one in the world. ”
Zhang Hong picked up the teacup and moistened his mouth, and continued: "Jia Xu's chest has a poisonous plan, and every plan is like a poisonous snake, which is impossible to prevent. He also has extraordinary talents, and he must know that the northerners are not accustomed to water warfare, and if he wants to cross the river, he must find foreign aid. Today, what Jia Xu is planning is not in line with the ancient plan, is it clear that the plank road is dark? If Jia Xu wants to cross the river, he must rely on the assistance of the Lu family. Our army has laid a net in Jiujiang, and the king will be able to see the difference after two days. ”
As if to confirm what Zhang Hong said, suddenly a small boat on the river came by the wind, and a Chang'an soldier on the boat was dressed as a strong man. At the opening of the sluice, several Jiangdong warships came out to trap the fine in the center, and the fine made shouted:
"I was entrusted by the deceased to have important things to do. I want to see my king. ”
Thousands of heavily armed Jiangdong guards escorted Xizuo into Jianye.
In the past, when the king led an army of 30,000 to cross the river to crusade against Guangling, the king was defeated by Gao Shun, and was captured by him, and he missed his family every day, and did not dare to forget the king's kindness. Significant information is available. He hurriedly took out a letter from the sole of his shoe and handed it to the guard, Sun Quan saw it, covered his nose with long sleeves, and his face was full of disgust and disgust. When the details mentioned the defeat of Sun Quan's army that year, Sun Quan's face was full of murderous anger.
The fine body trembled like a sifting chaff, and said in a fearful voice: "The king is angry, I was the former guard of Jia Xu's tent, and yesterday when Jia Xu went out to supervise the construction of the plank road, I stole Jia Xu's letter and presented it to the king." ”
Zhang Hong saw that Sun Quan didn't accept the letter, and he didn't think it was dirty and smelly, so he hurriedly opened it to take a look, and it turned out to be a letter written by Lu Jun to Jia Xudi. The news in the letter had already been reported to Sun Quan by Lu Jun. After reading one article, there is no construction significance at all, all Jiangdong knows.
Xizuo carefully observed the changes in Zhang Hong's expression, from beginning to end, there was no difference on Zhang Hong's face, let alone shock, as if he had known about it for a long time. Careful Zuo was shocked in his heart, and cold sweat flowed, fortunately, the military advisor Jia Xu didn't really think about asking the Lu family to help cross the river, otherwise the Lu family would really be wiped out. It turned out that this fine work was deliberately arranged by Jia Xu to betray Lu Jun to Sun Quan, so as to transfer the Jiangdong army to Jiujiang and implement the plan, but he didn't expect the Lu family to sell Jia Xu as well.
Sun Quan wanted to stay in Jianye and send someone to send him home to reunite with his family. When the details were made, Jia Xu also warned him that he secretly welcomed his family to Chang'an, but what happened was not what Jia Xu expected, and he had to go back immediately to tell Jia Xu.
After thinking about it carefully, he said in a deep voice: "I am a personal guard for Jia Xu, and I have stolen letters, if Jia Xu knows that I am not seen, he will definitely be suspicious." In order to prevent Jia Xu's suspicions, I had to go back to the camp once, and when I crossed the river two days later, I would find an opportunity to leave the team and get out. ”
He resigned from Sun Quan's reward for gold and grain, and only let it be sent to his family, and then returned north by boat.
Jia Xu learned that the Lu family had betrayed him, and hurriedly gathered the generals to discuss countermeasures: "Jiangdongbi learned in advance that we wanted to cross the river from Jiujiang, and I wanted to disrupt Jiangdong's calm arrangement. I want to write to Lu Jun to tell Lu Jun that in case the night is long and dreamy, cross the river one day early, and put pressure on Jiangdong to set a trap, maybe Jiangdong will urgently transfer troops from Hukou, Poyang Yuzhang and other places. ”
"Subordinates seconded."
"Subordinates seconded."
“……”
All the generals agreed to Jia Xudi's plan. They are all born military generals, so it's okay to let them cut people, and asking them to design tricks is completely embarrassing for them.
Lu Jun received the letter from Jia Xudi, and hurriedly sent the letter to Zhang Zhao and Han Dang, who were sitting in Jiujiang City, as soon as possible.
Han Dang and Zhang Zhao were panicked, in order to worry that Jia Xu would see through, they did not dare to mobilize a naval army from the river to come to Jiujiang to set traps, so they could only transfer troops by land. And all the arrangements were carried out according to the three-day period, and Jia Xu suddenly crossed the river ahead of schedule, completely disrupting the arrangements in Jiangdong.
"Write to Jia Xu immediately and tell him that your river crossing boat is not ready!" Han Dang didn't think about it, and said with an excuse for Lu Jun.
"Wait." As a place to conspire, Zhang Zhao stopped: "What Jia Xu wants is a small boat to cross the river, and tens of thousands of fishing boats are moored on the wharf outside the city, which have already fallen into the eyes of Jia Xu's ears and eyes, and it is completely enough to cross the river in batches." The boat we are waiting for is to transport all Jia Xu's soldiers and horses to the river at once, if this is the excuse, how can Jia Xu not be suspicious? Therefore, it is necessary to obey Jia Xu's arrangement, and the top priority at the moment is to immediately mobilize troops to ambush the shore in the future. ”
"But where do you get troops in one day?" The layout of the city defense is very clear, and Han Dang asked anxiously.
"Nearby transfer troops from Chaisangkou and Hukou!" Zhang Zhaoyi gritted his teeth.
The next day in the middle of the night.
"Yigong, it's up to you to fight today."
Zhang Zhao stood on the city tower with a smile, his eyes crossed Lu Jun, watching the torches spread on the Peng Fold Wharf on the other side, and said to Han Dang in the night wind. Lu Jun's eyes were locked, in this battle, he was going to be famous, and he was going to be infamous for betraying his friends for glory.
"Mr. wait and see, go to a certain house!"
Han Dang responded solemnly, ran down the city tower without hesitation, and commanded the army to ambush on both sides of the dock, preparing to let go of the first wave of Chang'an soldiers who landed ashore, hit the second wave of fleets, and then encircle the first one.
Fishing boats sailed from the center of the river in a chaotic manner, and the boats were full of people. As the fleet approached, a column of old and young farmers on the boat helped each other down, and the noise instantly broke the peace of Jiujiang.
Han Dang was dumbfounded, this was too far from the imaginary columns of murderous Chang'an Iron Cavalry. Han Dang ran out irritablely, lifted a beard with white hair, and the trembling old woman roared: "How could it be you? ”
The old woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out on the spot, kicked her legs and hung up.
"Master Jun, Master Jun is angry. Don't you know? Many, many military masters broke into our village, set fire to the grass people's houses, and asked us to move out of our homeland and come to the south of the Yangtze River to find a way to survive. It is also said that the government has sent a ship here to meet ...... This, this, didn't the military master send a ship to meet me and wait? An appropriately knowledgeable old farmer knelt on the ground and replied in horror.
"I ask you! What about the Chang'an Army? Han Dang shot out angrily, and grabbed the old farmer's neck with both hands like iron clamps.
"Uh, uh......" The old farmer was lifted up in the air and kicked his legs, and grabbed hands again. Han Dang was worried about strangling the other party, but no one gave him a puzzle, so he hurriedly let go of his arm.
"Ahem, what is the Chang'an Army?"
Only then did Han Dang remember that in the eyes of these uninformed mud legs, all the soldiers were the same, who could tell who belonged to which force? They only know that the soldiers are all Han officials.
"Those military masters on horseback!" Han Dang couldn't get down, so he asked in detail.
"Oh, they're in the back, and they say let me wait for the untouchables to cross the river first."
"How many are there?"
The old farmer replied honestly: "There are many, many of them, coming and going like flying, densely packed and countless." ”
Han Dang got the news he wanted, and kicked the old farmer out with a flying kick, only then did he wipe his hands a few times on the soldiers beside him, and sneered: "Jia Xu is really cunning and cunning, and he has to send someone to test whether there is an ambush first!" Pass the order down, wait with peace of mind, and don't attack without an order! ”
Han Dang waited patiently at Jiujiang Wharf, while Jia Xu was preparing to cross the river on the Hukou River hundreds of miles away.
Jia Xu lit a fire like a mountain, illuminating the mouth of the lake on the opposite bank as if it were day. When the Hukou defenders saw this, they held their spears and laughed, they knew that Jia Xu was going to cross the river from Jiujiang, and Han Dang took away a lot of Hukou defenders.
On the river, several bow boats are patrolling along the river. On the shore of Jia Xu, several ferries approached, but before they could get close, dozens of fishermen jumped into the river at the same time and swam to the boat.
The patrol soldiers on the ship were stunned, and suddenly there was a chiseling sound from the bottom of the boat.
"Enemy attack, someone scuttles the ship." Patrol soldiers pointed arrows at the bottom of the water, and dozens of soldiers jumped into the water to kill the fisherman who scuttled the bottom of the boat.
"Drums! Sortie! ”
"Knock Knock ......"
Jiangbei suddenly made a loud drum, and the fishing boats and boats carrying war horses and soldiers rushed out of the shallows, covering the surface of the river, and there was no edge in sight.
"The Chang'an cavalry wants to cross the river from here, hurry up and ask for help!" The Hukou guard was panicked, and the sneering look was still on his face: "Hurry, hurry!" ”
The Jiangdong Navy came from afar on the river, knocked over a bow fishing boat and a small boat, and the Chang'an war horse soldiers fell into the river like dumplings. However, there were too many people, and the Jiangdong warships that rushed in couldn't resist the Chang'an soldiers who climbed in, and a few of them had been captured as soon as they crashed into the huge group of boats.
A column of soldiers crossed the river and landed on the south bank, and Jia Xu exclaimed: "It won't take a moment for the river to be completely blocked by the Jiangdong naval army, and we have no way to retreat, and there is no food and grass to replenish." Soldiers, if you want to survive, you must use the swords in your hands to fight a bloody way, plunder the grain and grass in Jiangdong City, and win the victory! ”
"The mourning soldiers will win!"
"The mourning soldiers will win!"
"The mourning soldiers will win!" The cavalry turned over and got on their horses and shouted in unison.
"We have no more food and grass. The mouth of the lake must be taken before the defenders set fire to the food, warriors, siege the city! ”
