Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Governor of the Navy
In the previous life, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in the first three years of peace, that is, in 192 years, the Wancheng Imperial Court was led by Yang Biao under the consultation of a cadre of civil ministers and military generals, and made a statement to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, changing the Yuan Zhongxing, and the edict of the Son of Heaven was transmitted to the world, indicating that this year was the time of the great prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and it was not until the New Year that the edict was transmitted to Yangzhou and other places.

Sun Jian handed the edict to Li Shimin, his brows furrowed, and he was very pleased, among the princes of the towns, I am afraid that only Sun Jian has a different surname and is still concerned about the court.
"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and there are masters in the court." Li Shimin closed his eyes and understood the essence in an instant.
"What do you say?"
Li Shimin talked eloquently: "The imperial court summoned Kong Rong Taoqian and others to Wancheng to report on their work the year before last year, but among all the nominated officials, only Yuzhou Mu Zhang Miao was summoned, Xu County is nominally the squire Cao Cao's office, but Kong Ling occupies it, and Xu County, which is close to Wancheng, is still like this, not to mention the whole world, Yang Biao's move may have touched the bottom line, and he is going to use force to the periphery. ”
Sun Jian's eyes froze: "But Liu Biao is a relative of the emperor, I'm afraid we can't send troops to recruit anymore." ”
Li Shimin smiled sincerely: "Why is Wentai so timid, when Emperor Ling of the former Han Dynasty was in power, he already had a lot of suspicions about his relatives, but He Jin and the ten permanent servants fought, unable to make effective restraints on Liu Biao, Liu Yan at that time sat in Yizhou, living in a corner, plus the terrain is dangerous, it is also difficult to conquest, but at this time it is different, the Wancheng court has the alliance of Cao Cao, the squire and the king of Mu Li, and the whole north does not have to worry about the disaster of the soldiers, this edict is probably a sign that the patience of the imperial court is exhausted, just wait for Guo Yan to be exterminated, it will go east, The two sides in the south used troops, and the first to bear the brunt was definitely Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Yingchuan Taishou Kong Ling. ”
"What do the people mean to continue to levy Liu Biao?"
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Liu Biao's heart can be punished, our army continues to levy him, it will inevitably get the secret support of the imperial court, at least before the territory is not close to each other, what we do will not cause Yang Biao and his family to resent, on the contrary, the imperial court will also send people to get in touch with us, and then attack Jingzhou in two ways, Liu Biao will lose his morality, and it will be cut off sooner or later." ”
Sun Jian is a fierce general and not a handsome talent, but he is bold and good at using military generals, and he sighed at this time: "I, Sun Wentai, started the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and I have been floating all the way to get the position of Taishou, and today I am assisted by the people of the world, like divine help." ”
"General Wentai is not going to see each other, you and I have long been brothers." As he spoke, the two looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces looked sincere.
The relationship between the two of them didn't seem to be fake, and after a short time, Li Shimin turned around and said: "Bo Fu, I went to the state to congratulate you, did you find any information?" ”
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, you didn't say that I should inquire about the information, but he still said honestly: "My nephew went to Bingzhou, and I didn't find useful information, but the marriage of the pastor of Bingzhou gave me a bottom on some generals, from the perspective of Cao Cao's forces, Pei Xingyan and Dian Wei's personal guards, my nephew's martial arts may be difficult to go ten rounds under these two people, and Yang Zaixing, the general under the command of Bingzhou Mu, has a thousand strengths, and five hundred catties of boulders can also move, I'm afraid that brute force alone is still above my father." ”
As soon as Sun Ce's words fell, he heard a young voice dissatisfied: "Why does my brother grow up with other people's ambition and destroy the prestige of my Jiangdong warriors?" ”
Sun Ce smiled and took Sun Quan's hand: "It's not an exaggeration for my brother, Yang Zaixing's power is definitely a list of demons, not to mention the long-famous Changshan Zhao Zilong, the northern forces are all brave, and I am afraid that Jiangdong alone can win not a palm." ”
Sun Ce's words have already given enough face, if it weren't for the fact that Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other fierce generals are here now, they will definitely say that no one in Jiangdong can win.
Li Shimin said: "Brother Wentai, since the policy remains unchanged, then I will immediately rush to Jiujiang to supervise the battle on both sides of the Yangtze River." ”
Sun Jian arched his hand and said: "Although the people of the world go by themselves, I will immediately raise troops in Shiting and march to Hefei." ”
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng set off with dozens of horsemen and rushed to Jiujiang, where there was already a henchman Chi Jingde to lead the army, just waiting for Li Shimin to come and take over the battle.
Sun Jian turned his head and said: "Zibu, the battle with Yuan Shu must be tragic, most of our army are familiar with water warfare, and they are not widely involved in foot warfare. ”
Zhang Zhao said solemnly: "Don't worry, general, Zhao will save it." ”
After everything was taken care of, Sun Jian ordered all the soldiers and horses and drove with the army.
The rivers and mountains are picturesque, the spring rain is like silk, and the continuous drizzle sways the earth, but this does not affect the general trend of the world.
In Jiujiang Port, Li Shimin personally brought up 30 ships and hundreds of warships, and marched to Jiangxia in a mighty manner, and along the way Wuchang, Huangzhou, and other five or six county ports, they heard the wind and descended, rampaged all the way, directly crossed Jiangxia, and launched an attack on Xiakou from the water.
The Xiakou guard general is General Liu Biao, and the adjutant is Su Fei, the leader of the Jinfan thieves and thieves under the command of Gan Ning in the past.
The rumbling war drums were endless, making both sides of the Yangtze River thunder, and even Jiangxia City, which was twenty miles away, could be heard clearly.
In front of Xiakou Port, Wen Ping led the army to press the sword, Li Shimin was menacing, he had already asked Cai Mao, the governor of the navy, for help, as long as he was undefeated, Huang Zu would lead 100,000 sailors to rescue, Li Shimin's tens of thousands of people were really not enough.
As soon as the drums of war suddenly stopped, Li Shimin's naval warships dropped anchor in the center of the river, and the entire river fell silent, but the densely distributed warships were like fierce beasts in a flood, lying on the surface of the river, and Wen Ping and others were shocked to see them.
Wen Ping sat on the table with a calm face, and said to his subordinate generals: "Can anyone tell me what Li Shimin wants to do." ”
The soldiers under the tent lowered their heads and were silent, who would touch the moldy head at this time is really ****.
However, Su Fei, as the deputy general, arched his hand and said: "General Wen, Li Shimin has always been resolute, at this time, he crossed Jiangxia and went straight to my Xiakou Port, I'm afraid the intention is not simple." ”
After fighting for a year, it is natural to know that Li Shimin is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, but it is precisely because he is scheming and invincible that every time there is a war, it will inevitably emerge one after another, which makes the Jingzhou army feel unpredictable.
"Vice General Su, I heard that your predecessor is from the same background as Gan Ning, so I have to trouble you to go this time." Wen Ping's brows were twisted together, a little annoyed.
Su Fei's heart suddenly suddenly, knowing that he would not be good if he spoke: "Although I have a great friendship with Gan Ning, but at this time, Li Shimin's army is pressing, and Gan Ning is only a general, how can he influence the thoughts of Li Shimin, the governor of the navy, not to mention that Sun Jian is fighting on both sides, and it is uncertain whether Gan Ning will accompany the army." ”
Wen Ping waved his hand helplessly: "Li Shimin is known as a virtuous person, and he will definitely not leave you at this time, as for Gan Ning, he can only obey the destiny of heaven." ”
After leaving the big tent, Su Fei looked indignant, and Wen Ping clearly wanted to send him to death, although the two armies did not fight each other, but there were many exceptions.
But after all, the order cannot be violated, if you don't do what Wen Ping tells you, after the war, no matter whether you win or lose, there will be no good fruit to eat.
Su Fei ordered two guards, picked up the boat and rushed to Li Shimin's fleet.
"Who's coming?"
Since it can't be changed, it can only be faced: "Su Fei, a general under Liu Jingzhou, quickly let Li Shimin come out for a dialogue." ”
The soldiers on the boat looked at each other and replied, "You wait, let me go and report." ”
Su Fei waited for a long time and didn't reply, and when his patience was about to be worn out, he heard a shout from the boat: "Is it Lao Su in person?" ”
Su Fei squinted and saw that it was Gan Ning, the former boss of the Jinfan thieves, and suddenly felt happy: "Leader, it is my old Su." ”
Gan Ning asked people to lower the ladder and personally greeted Su Fei on the boat, and the two hugged each other.
"Lao Su, in the past, General Sun conscripted my Jinfan Army, and you and I were separated, but I didn't expect you to serve under Liu Biao's account."
Su Fei was also a little melancholy, thinking that Wen Ping actually drove him to death, he secretly hated, and said at this time: "No, if I knew that the leader was serving under Sun Jian, I would definitely follow the leader, hey..."
After speaking, Su Fei didn't forget the matter, and said: "Leader, why did Li Shimin's army come, fighting without fighting, retreating and not retreating, what does this mean." ”
Gan Ning's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he sighed: "It's okay not to mention this matter, it's okay not to mention it." After speaking, he took Su Fei's hand and walked inside: "You and I haven't seen each other for many days, and today we don't mention military affairs, only feelings." ”
Su Fei was dragged away, but he didn't ask the reason again.
