Han Lie's half-year inspection ended in mid-October of the third year of Jian'an. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this inspection, Han Lie set off from Jianye, and the first stop arrived at Tushan to worship Tushan, the wife of Emperor Yu, and Yangzhou Ding, and then transferred to Lujiang, Shouchun, Peiguo, Pengcheng, Donghai, Langya to worship Xuzhou Ding, and then went north to Donglai, and then took a big boat to the south, along the coast, and stayed in Licheng, Yandu, Wujun and other places for a short time, before returning to Jianye, the whole process lasted seven months and five days.

In addition to the first general, the two Qiao sisters are also with them. In the past three years, the eldest Qiao among the Er Qiao sisters is only twenty-one years old, and the little Qiao is only nineteen years old.

The reason why he took Er Qiao on patrol this time was mainly because Cai Yan and Mi Zhen gave birth to children at the beginning of the year, Cai Yan, who lived up to expectations, gave birth to a son for Han Lie, and Mi Zhen gave birth to a daughter. When Han Lie went on patrol, his son was only more than a month old and was named Han Kun, and his daughter was only in February, so he was named Han Yue.

This seven-month inspection is naturally not a tour of the mountains and rivers, but Han Lie's pre-war mobilization preparations for the upcoming Chaisang offensive in winter, and the next battle of Chaisang, Han Lie is expected to completely eliminate Sun Ce, which will last at least more than half a year, or even longer, so Han Lie naturally wants to know the situation in various places under his rule, and only when he has a psychological bottom can he better fight this battle.

On the night before entering the waters of Jianye, Han Lie completed a feat, that is, he hugged the second Qiao sisters on the same couch, under the flickering candlelight, inside the curtain, the appearance was seven points similar, and the second Qiao sisters wearing Luo shirts and small clothes, the shy expression of wanting to refuse and welcome directly swelled Han Lie's stimulated blood, like a hungry wolf pounced.

Han Lie didn't know how long he had been tossing this night, anyway, it wasn't until the third pole of the day that Han Lie struggled out of the two white and tender arms and jade legs, and when he got up, looking at Er Qiao, who was still full of happiness and sleep, Han Lie was dressed and washed away with victory and manly pride.

Back at General Jianye's mansion, the first thing Han Lie did was naturally to visit his children, and take a day off, staying at home with his wife and children at ease, enjoying the joy of family.

After not seeing him for more than half a year, when he held his son in his arms again, Han Lie was overjoyed, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of flesh and blood, especially when his daughter had already begun to babble, calling her father word by word.

"Haha, the good boy is naughty enough, and he gave me a big gift as soon as he came up." When his son peed on Han Lie's body, Han Lie smiled heartily and sent his crying son to the nurse's arms.

Er Qiao on the side, looking at the happy appearance of Cai Yan and Mi Zhen's two daughters, couldn't help but feel a sense of envy in his heart, and the two sisters who glanced at each other thought that they would work hard next and strive to have a boy and a girl.

"Husband, look at you, hurry up and change your clothes." Seeing that Han Lie's chest and clothes were wet, Cai Yan hurriedly pulled Han Lie into the house to change clothes.

"Hehe, my son's boy pee, can I not be happy." Han Lie smiled and entered the house with Cai Yan, and under Cai Yan's thoughtfulness, he took off his robe.

Han Lie, who is tall, shows fair skin bare-chested, smooth and white skin, more delicate than a woman, this is the effect of hair cutting and marrow, and now not only does not look old, but is becoming more and more handsome and young.

"Husband, the concubines envy you, you see that you are not only more and more handsome as you get older, but the concubines are a little old." Looking at Han Lie, who only had a pair of pants left on his body, Cai Yan couldn't help but stretch out his Qianqianyu hand, hugged Han Lie's waist with some concern, leaned over his back, and sniffed the manly smell emanating from Han Lie's body.

"Silly girl, what do you think, you are not old at all, in my eyes you will always be that touching and kind beauty." Han Lie turned around slightly, kissed Cai Yan's lips, and deftly probed her into her dress with both hands.

The next moment, Han Lie felt the water traces on the plump twin peaks that were more plump than before, naturally there was no doubt about the milk, Han Lie, who was playful, suddenly hugged Cai Yan to the bed, and said in a low voice: "Yan'er, how about you come and taste it for your husband?" ”

"No, it's still daytime, and my sisters are still waiting outside." Although Cai Yan was originally a little emotional, he sat up in fright at this moment, and pushed Han Lie weakly with both hands.

"That's not going to work, it's too late to say no." Han Lie smiled proudly, and pressed Cai Yan, who was already powerless to resist, under him.

……

After some clouds and rain fell, when Han Lie hugged the flushed Cai Yan to his chest with satisfaction, Cai Yan patted Han Lie coquettishly and said, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, how do you tell people to go out to meet people." ”

"If you're afraid that they will laugh at you, why don't you call those girls in one by one and spoil your husband one by one." Han Lie smirked.

"Hmph, don't cheap you big pervert." Cai Yan raised his fist and slammed Han Lie again, and then struggled to get up and escape with his clothes on.

Han Lie, the initiator of "Haha ......", couldn't help laughing when he saw Cai Yan's escape, and this series of laughter naturally brought about a chain reaction, so that when Cai Yan walked out, it also attracted the kind smiles of Mi Zhen's daughters.

At the beginning of November, after a long period of preparation, Han Lie secretly led 80,000 elite soldiers to launch a crusade against Sun Ce.

60,000 sailors marched together, driving directly to the Sun Ceshui military camp in Poyang Lake, and Han Liedu led a total of 23,000 soldiers and horses of the Red Flame Army to go up the river by boat and attack Chaisang.

The remaining Jianye was still headed by Zhang Zhao, and Yu Ban and Chen Zhi led the rear and right battalions of the Red Flame Army to be responsible for staying in Jianye, and participated in military dispatch with Zhang Zhao.

On the eve of the war, all the ships of the navy were used, and the grain of the Yecang was built, and the arsenal was used to make Guoyuan unify the dispatch and transport the Lujiang River in batches.

The 80,000-strong army needs a huge amount of food and grass every day, and on the front line of the battle, Han Lie has always advocated that all sergeants should be full of three meals a day, although the supply of meat dishes cannot be guaranteed, but it is Han Lie's death order to ensure that every soldier eats a full stomach for every meal.

Three meals a day of white rice is full, this treatment is only available in wartime, usually each army only manages two meals a day, this is not a deduction, but the eating habits of the people in this era, generally only the wealthy family will have three meals a day, and it is good for ordinary people to be able to eat two meals.

Therefore, during the war, Han Lie proposed to be full of white rice for three meals, and this measure undoubtedly had a strong appeal for the morale of the army. Especially for the navy, because they live in the waters, and the waters of the Yangtze River in this era, there are schools of fish and shrimp, even if tens of thousands of troops march, they can still catch a lot of fish and shrimp pickled meat for rice.

Jiangdong is rich in salt, especially Han Lie's improved refined salt, now not only salt, sea salt and other places are abundant, there are several salt farms in Huiji County, so that refined salt is now not only exported to Liaodong Mobei, even Jingzhou Liu Biao has become Han Lie's largest customer.

And pickled dried meat, marinated with fine salt is undoubtedly the best delicacy, at least for the current people, this is the best next meal.

It can be said that refined salt has changed the living habits of the people of Jiangdong to a certain extent, and greatly alleviated the health problems that plague it, you must know that the Jiangdong region, the water network is dense, and there are many diseases and insects and locusts like cow hair, which is not only harmful to people, but also has a strong lethality to cattle and sheep, but after refined salt becomes a cheap item in the hands of the people of Jiangdong, it has naturally become a beneficial medicine for disinfection, as well as killing diseases such as locusts and bloodsucking insects.

According to statistics from various localities, since salt became a cheap commodity in Jiangdong three years ago, the mortality rate of the people in Jiangdong in terms of disease has been reduced from the original mortality rate of more than 10,000 people a year to less than 2,000 deaths from diseases, which can be said to be a decrease of 80 percent.

Secondly, the supply of salt to Jingzhou Liu Biao not only brought considerable economic benefits, but also built a bridge for the cooperation between the two sides. In the past three years, Cheng Yu under Han Lie's account and Bo Chen Jiao, the head of the navy, have become Liu Biao's guests.

Han Lie has never revealed the slightest affection for Jingzhou, but Cheng Yu and Chen Jiao, who are Han Lie's envoys, have been lobbying Liu Biao and made it clear that their common enemy is Sun Ce, who is entrenched in Yuzhang County.

Liu Biao and Sun Ce have irreconcilable contradictions, the reason is known to the world, that is, Sun Jian died at the hands of Liu Biao, for which Liu Biao never thought of reconciling with Sun Ce, the two sides have fought many times around the four counties of Jingnan in recent years, although Liu Biao has many soldiers and horses, but lacks good generals, so that for several years, Changsha County and Guiyang County of the four counties of Jingnan have never been able to recapture, not to mention, most of the land in Wuling and Lingling counties has now fallen into the hands of Sun Ce.

For this matter, Liu Biao has already sent his subordinates to engage in Yi nationality and Wang Cang, and he has come south many times to visit Han Lie and talk about the joint crusade against Sun Ce.

For Yi and Wang Cang, Han Lie is full of respect and deep acceptance, and Cheng Yu, Chen Jiao, Zhang Zhao, Xun You and others under Han Lie's account also have many acquaintances with the two, so that the two of them sighed that Corporal Han Lie Lixian and the ministers under the account gathered at the same time, in front of Liu Surface, there are also many words that Han Lie is humble and respectful, and he is the image of a loyal minister of the Han family.

Before Han Lie sent troops to Chaisang this time, he had once again sent Cheng Yu and Liu Yan to form an agreement to jointly crusade against Sun Ce. For this reason, Liu Biao raised 50,000 troops, sent his henchman Cai Mao to personally sit in Jiangling to command, and ordered Jingzhou general Wen to be the vanguard general, Liu Pan to be the deputy general, and Zhang Yun to be the general of the navy to crusade against Changsha, echoing Han Lie.

Late November. The vast surface of Poyang Lake, the cold wind is cold, and the battle flag is hunting. Jiangdong Naval Army's two deputy governors Zhou Tai Jiang Qin, the left and right general Ling Tong Xu Sheng, commanded 30,000 soldiers and horses as the front, and retreated Zhou Yu's naval army, launched a pursuit battle, although Xu Sheng and Ling Tong were eager to fight, but because of Zhou Yu's concession, the first day of the water battle, which lasted only half a day, was ordered by Lu Su to end the Ming Jin army.

The losses on both sides were negligible, Zhou Yu, who retreated to the camp, saw the Jiangdong Navy slowly retreating, frowned and said to Cheng Pu, the deputy governor beside him: "Lu Zijing is a capable person, this person is good at strategic warfare, and is good at arranging troops, this time Han Lie poured into the nest, I am afraid that I have already saved the heart of death, and now we can only drag and fight in order to buy time for the lord, as long as the lord can annihilate the Liu Biao department that came this time, not only can strengthen the heart of our army, but also can completely gain a foothold in Jingnan, so that we can lose Yuzhang, It's worth it, too. ”

"Although what Gong Jin said is not unreasonable, but Yuzhang has been in business for many years, and it is really unwilling to give up like this. Secondly, the lord led his troops to Changsha to meet the battle this time, and the department only had 30,000 troops, but he had to face Liu Biao's 50,000 army, and the odds of victory were really difficult to estimate. And although I have 30,000 sailors in Poyang Lake, the 50,000 people who were temporarily requisitioned on the land are now guarding Chaisang, Pengze, and Nanchang respectively, and the defense is really worrying, if Han Lie lets the navy contain us, send foot soldiers to capture the three cities, and cut off our back road, it will not take three months, we will be trapped alive in Poyang Lake, so I think we should still take advantage of the strength of the war, looking for an opportunity to fight with Han Lie's navy, if we can break the enemy, it is naturally better, if it is defeated, then concentrate all the forces to retreat to Nanchang, so even if the battle is defeated, No regrets. Cheng Pu hesitated, but raised an objection, in his opinion, it is far safer to delay time on the water than to use the fortified city defense to delay time.

"The words of virtue, I think it is more appropriate, Nanchang has always been the capital of Yuzhang, the city wall is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, now the Jiangdong water army is strong, rather than facing the resistance in the river, it is better to stick to the city." Vice General Rui Xuan thought about it and echoed Cheng Pu's proposal.

"Ziheng, what do you think?" Zhou Yu looked at Lu Fan and said quietly, Lu Fan is Chai Sangling, and he is also the chief of the navy, so he can't get around him if he fights or retreats.

"When the lord was leaving, he said that he would make a decision on the spot, and Gongjin made a decision with a word, and I listened to the governor." Lu Fan knew that Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were not compatible, and the reason was that Zhou Yu was young, and he followed Sun Ce for only a few years but climbed to the position of governor, and Cheng Pu, as an old minister, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is not inferior to others in the art of war, plus he is older, so in his opinion, whether it is qualifications or ability, he deserves to be the governor.

Although he is not convinced by Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu is not a small chicken-bellied person, in the face of major rights and wrongs, he will not blindly obey, in his opinion, it is not a wise choice to sit on Poyang Lake and abandon the land fortified city, which is also the reason why he argues with reason.

With Lu Fan's support, Zhou Yu was relieved, and patiently persuaded him: "General Cheng, although the suggestion you made is an old move, have you ever considered that if we stick to the ground city, once we are defeated, it will inevitably be wiped out, because in the south, it is all lofty mountains and barren land, and there is no way to retreat, on the contrary, now we are stationed on the water, but we have more flexibility, I expect that as long as we stick to the water village, Han Lie will not be able to conquer my water village, It is inevitable to divide the troops to attack the cities of Yuzhang, although we will have a lot of cities falling, but the strength of our naval army is in, as long as the lord can win and lead the army back to help, the strength of the naval army we have saved can come in handy, take a step back and say, in case the main army is defeated, we can also take the opportunity to kill out of Poyang Lake, use boat transportation, and go to Changsha to respond, it is expected that Han Lie and Liu Biao are definitely not monolithic, Han Lie is ambitious, and capturing Yuzhang is just his first step to capture Jingzhou, I conclude that as long as our main force enters Jingzhou, Han Lie not only won't chase us desperately, but he will also let us go, so that we and Liu Biao can fight and lose, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Zhou Yu's heartfelt words, Cheng Pu couldn't help but be moved after thinking about it, and then he bowed and said: "The governor has a far-reaching vision, and I can't do it." (To be continued.) )
