Chapter 940: Prelude to the First Northern Expedition

Jingzhou, Xinye City.

In a lobby in the city, Tai Shici and Ju Yi sat together, the two looked at the secret letter, raised their heads one after another, and looked at each other silently, their expressions solemn.

"What does Your Majesty mean, we have to take the initiative?" Tai Shici's voice was a little hoarse.

"It's pretty obvious!" Ju Yi nodded.

The reason why Ju Yi appeared in Jingzhou was originally to intercept Zhang He, but in the northern part of Jiangxia, when he and Zhang He were in a bloody battle, Zhang Xiu's subordinate general Hu Che'er suddenly led 3,000 cavalry and killed.

In the end, he fell short and left no one behind.

In a fit of rage, Ju Yi vented all his grievances on Zhang Xiu, the king of spears in the north, so he did not return to Jinling as originally planned, and came directly to the Xinye battlefield.

The Xinye battlefield was already in jeopardy, and Tai Shici suffered heavy casualties under Zhang Xiu's stormy onslaught.

The arrival of him with thousands of elite cavalry can be regarded as easing the pressure on Tai Shi Ci, and under the joint efforts of him and Tai Shi Ci, it can be regarded as Kankan stabilizing the situation in the north of Jingzhou.

Zhang Xiu couldn't attack for a long time, so he could only retreat to Xinye.

But at this time, Sun Quan's secret letter suddenly arrived.

"Your Majesty, why is that?"

Tai Shi Ci gritted his teeth and said: "Our current strength is already good to be able to stabilize Xinye, if we attack at this time, with our troops, facing Zhang Xiu, it is a bit of an egg to hit a stone!" ”

"The military order is like a mountain!" Ju Yi said.

"The military order is like a mountain!"

Tai Shi Ci repeated what he said, his expression became helpless and tenacious, he stood up and faced the soldiers outside the main hall: "Immediately pass on my military order, all the soldiers gather, and attack the Wei camp tonight." Take the initiative! ”

East China Sea, Yuju Mountain.

Camp of Flames.

Above a military hall in the camp, the main general He Qi sat in the first place, and the chief of staff Zeng Tian was in the lower position, and the two looked solemn, and under the table. One by one, the division commanders and division chiefs of staff were a little confused.

Now is the stage of cultivation and recuperation in the Flame Camp, and at this time, the drums and generals are gathered, and their hearts become a little heavy.

"Wait for the order, immediately pass on my military order, Xiaoguan, Taishan County, Qingzhou sea area, all soldiers and horses, all move. Take the initiative to attack, attack in one day, and then continue to feint for half a month, without an order, no troops can be collected! ”

He Qi's military orders seemed to them to be a bit groundbreaking.

At this time, is it a little inappropriate to start the decisive battle between Xuzhou and Qingzhou?

The division commander's eyes were staring at He Qi suspiciously.

"This is Your Majesty's military order, and the military order is like a mountain, if there is no respect. No mercy! He Qi knew the doubts in their hearts, so he emphasized one point.

"No!"

The generals' expressions suddenly became serious. All of them took orders, and then quickly moved and prepared for war.

"General, why did you say Your Majesty gave such an order?" Watching the generals go to prepare for war, Chief of Staff Zeng Tian asked in a low voice.

"I don't know!"

Hearing this, He Qi shook his head. He was also a little puzzled in his heart: "Maybe Your Majesty has some plan and needs us to distract the Wei army from him, in fact, it's okay to fight a dozen at this time, since Qingzhou retreated, our morale has been very low."

Although now is not the time for war. And we have dispatched a part of the troops to the west, but with our current strength is not weak, and we are not afraid of the Wei army, the most important thing is that during this period of time, Cai Mao's Cao Wei navy has developed a little fast, if he is given a period of time, maybe their navy can still go to sea to fight with us, it is necessary to press him, this battle, mainly in the Qingzhou sea, as for Xiaoguan and Taishan County, feints are the mainstay. ”

"I see!"

Zeng Tian nodded: "I'll go prepare logistics!" ”

and state.

Yanmen County.

Since the Wu army withdrew from Taiyuan, it was pressed and beaten by the Wei army behind, and now the battlefield of the Wu and Wei armies in Bingzhou has extended to Yinguan City, the county town of Yanmen County.

In the face of the situation, the chief general Huang Zhong held his breath, the chief of staff Pang Tong was also very aggrieved, and Guan Jing, the governor of the prefecture, was even more angry.

But they can't do anything about it.

It's not that they don't want to fight back, it's that they can't hold on to their forces, so they can only defend it.

It's not that the Blood Wolf Army has no troops, but now they have to dispatch the elite generals to Youzhou, Youzhou has invaded Zhuo County, Wei Jiangban is too strong, and Zhang Yan's independent mixed division has only one division after all, and the troops are insufficient, and they are losing and retreating.

Youzhou is much more important for merging states.

In order to keep Youzhou, the elite troops can only be transferred back, so that they are still resting, and their troops have become very tense.

However, for the sake of the overall situation, they have been enduring it, but at this time, Sun Quan's secret letter arrived.

Yin Pavilion City, in the middle camp of a school field.

"Your Majesty asked us to send troops to counterattack?"

Pang Tong looked at the secret letter, raised his head, and looked at Huang Zhong again, a little puzzled.

"That's what Your Majesty's secret decree says!"

Huang Zhong clenched his fists and said with a slightly calm face: "He ordered us, at all costs, to take the initiative to attack and attack, and drag all the Wei troops in Bingzhou and Jizhou!" ”

Sun Quan rarely directly interfered with decision-making on the battlefield, but once he gave an order, it was a death order.

"Hold off the Wei army?"

Pang Tong groaned for a while, thought about it, moved his eyes, and said, "It seems that Your Majesty has made a big move!" ”

"Your Majesty's temperament is never to suffer, this time we lost Taiyuan, and even Youzhou Zhuo County lost eighty percent of the city, if Your Majesty doesn't react, then it's not Your Majesty!"

Huang Zhong also knows Sun Quan very well, and he is not surprised by this, but he can't understand Sun Quan's purpose: "But I don't understand, Your Majesty has just taken Xishu now, and the soldiers and horses are tired, where does he want to fight?" Is it cool in the west? ”

"Impossible!"

When Pang Tong heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "Xiliang is now gathering hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Wei army, and it is not cost-effective, at most both sides will lose, and they will not be able to escape the benefits, and it is even possible to cheap Ma Chao in the end, do you think Your Majesty will do these thankless things?" ”

"No!" Huang Zhong said: "Then where do you say Your Majesty's goal is?" ”

"I don't know!" The corners of Pang Tong's mouth outlined a trace of arc. The smile was weird: "But I know one thing, Your Majesty must have touched a place that we don't know, and this will be Cao Wei's seven inches!" ”

"Forget it, Your Majesty's thoughts, we don't have to guess!"

Huang Zhong took a deep breath: "Since Your Majesty has given the order, we will take the initiative to attack." These days, I have retreated and retreated, and I have become a retreating general, and the morale of the sons and daughters is so low that it is difficult to maintain, and it is time to fight a battle, so that Cao Hong knows the combat effectiveness of the Wu army, and come to restore morale! ”

"It's time to fight back!" Pang Tong nodded.

"How?" Huang Zhong asked: "We don't have enough troops, where should we fight?" ”

Pang Tong squinted his eyes, and his gaze became sharp: "We will concentrate our forces to break the face." During this time, Cao Hong continued to occupy our city, and some of them were fluttering, and the troops were scattered, so we concentrated our forces and fought his main camp! ”

Jinling City.

Suburbs.

This is a valley that has been heavily guarded by military soldiers, and the whole valley is steep on all sides, and there is only one way out, and inside is a large workshop. It is claimed that the Ministry of Industry has a weapons research workshop under its name.

Although this workshop is under the management of the Ministry of Industry. But except for the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the left and right attendants, there are few people in the Ministry of Industry who know about the existence of the entire workshop.

The security surround here, the periphery is guarded by soldiers belonging to a battalion of trapped camps, and the interior is taken over by the Jinyi guards themselves, and usually not a single fly can fly in.

At this moment, Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was standing in a workshop in the valley. Standing beside him was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who commanded Mo Cong.

In front of the two of them was a Taoist robe, a cautious Ge Xuan, who stood in the middle of an open mountain stream, fiddling with a thunderbolt in his hand.

Rumble!

The two looked at Ge Xuan personally detonating a thunderbolt, and at the moment when the thunderbolt exploded. It sounded like thunder, and ten thousand flames rose, and the sand and rocks flew away, and then they saw that the whole ground shook, and then a deep pit came out.

At this moment, the pupils of the two of them contracted suddenly, and they both involuntarily gasped, this was also the first time they saw the power of the finished product of the thunderbolt.

"No wonder Zuo Ci Great Immortal Weng was injured under the thunder of the Heavenly Master Alliance in the past, it was really terrifying!" Mo Cong trembled and said in a deep voice.

"Sure enough, it's a peerless weapon, how can you resist the power of this thunder with just flesh and blood?"

Liu Ye's eyes were scorching, and he said quietly.

"Hehe, this is just an experiment, it has not been completely successful, the explosive power is still a little smaller, the ordinary generals at the peak of Qi training are prepared, and they can basically resist the past, for the peerless generals who practice Qi Chenggang, unless they are taken by surprise, the lethality will not be beaten!"

Ge Xuan walked over and said with a smile.

"How many of these experiments have been made so far?" Mo Cong came up and asked.

"Eight hundred!"

Ge Xuan said: "This is what our workshop plans to transport to the Guishan battlefield for testing, and only after the battlefield test can we know how to improve it in the future!" ”

"Your Majesty has an order, this batch of thunder does not need to be transported to Guishuang, and it will be transported to Hanzhong immediately!"

Don't say in a deep voice.

"Hanzhong?" Ge Xuan frowned: "Why?" Is it to deal with the Heavenly Master Dao, and it's not right, isn't the Heavenly Master Dao swept away by the Master? ”

"You don't have to ask about this, what Your Majesty means, this thing will be tested on the battlefield in the Central Plains!"

"But this is just an experimental specimen, and it has not been successful, the fuse is very unstable, and if you are not careful, it is easy to hurt yourself!"

Ge Xuan said with some concern: "I may not be able to control the detonation properly!" ”

"What you are worried about, Your Majesty also knows it in his heart, so it was useless to capture Pujia Pass before, but this time it is different!" Mo Cong said: "Since Your Majesty has taken the risk to use it, he must have his intentions!" ”

"Since His Majesty wishes, I can only obey, who will escort me?"

Ge Xuan didn't object, he thought about it and asked.

"Two regiments of the Praetorian Guard, you must send twenty skilled craftsmen who are familiar with the thunder in your workshop to be responsible for stability!" Liu Ye replied.

"Or I'll accompany you personally, there are so many thunderstorms, I don't worry about others!" Ge Xuan said: "Once the road explodes halfway, don't talk about Your Majesty's affairs, I'm afraid that none of the two regiments escorted will survive!" ”

"That's right!"

Mo Cong and Liu Ye wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, if this thing exploded halfway, the casualties would be big. (To be continued.) )
