Chapter 275 Jiangnan Chapter (2) Dongwu Chapter 1

Chapter 275 Three points south of the Yangtze River out of Wudi, and then raise troops and horses into Shixing

Eastern Wu, since Liu Bei, the Emperor of Zhangwu, the Son of Heaven, canonized Sun Quan as the king of Wu, all the princes of the world called Wu as Eastern Wu. The distance between Eastern Wu and Yangzhou is only the four counties to which Yangzhou belongs: Wu County, Yuzhang County, Huiji County, and Jiujiang County. The capital of the country is Jianye City in Wu County.

If it comes to territory, Dongwu is not as good as Liu Biao in Jingzhou. The Son of Heaven canonized Liu Biao as the king of Jiangling, and the princes of the world called Jingzhou after the Jiangling State. Jiangling State has seven counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou: Nanyang County, Nan County, Changsha County, Jiangxia County, Wuling County, Lingling County, and Guiyang County. The capital is located in Gangneung, Nam-gun.

In addition to these two countries in Jiangnan, there is also a Jiaozhou. The highest administrator of Jiaozhou was Shi Xie, a descendant of the assassin history set up during the period of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. The Shi family is definitely a big man in Jiaozhou. They have been hereditary state assassins for three generations in a row! It's like they're going to govern Jiaozhou as their own country. Nanhai County, Cangwu County, Hepu County, Yulin County, Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County and Rinan County are a total of seven counties, and the territory seems to be larger than Jingzhou.

Among them, the four counties of Nanhai, Jiaozhi, Hepu and Yulin are completely in the hands of the Shi family.

Emperor Zhang Wu ascended the throne, Shixie saw the opportunity, and was the first to jump out and claim the king, claiming to be the king of Hainan, and the founding of the country was in Jiaozhi. He canonized his younger brother Shiyi as the governor of the capital, and Shiwen as the minister of state.

It was precisely for this reason that Emperor Liu Bei of Zhangwu ordered Liu Biao and Sun Quan to send troops to attack them.

It's a pity that Cai Mao made a hindrance from it, causing the first army to die abruptly.

They returned with their troops and horses, but Shixie had to dispatch troops and take precautions.

can become a prince, how can Shi Xie be incompetent?

The Shi family has been inherited to the present day, and the heritage is naturally very deep.

The five major gates of Jiaozhou: Wu, Shi, Zhang, Lai, and Dai all gathered beside them. And the Shi family is full of talents, there are scholars, scholars, warriors, warriors, scholars, In addition, Shi Xie also has a pair of sisters by his side, who are his big and small wives, called Si Pona and Si Po. These two people are Miao people on Miao Mountain, good at shooting.

Therefore, the Shijia is definitely not simple.

Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, decided to send troops to attack Jiaozhou, and naturally calculated in his heart.

On the one hand, Shi Xie's claim to be the king can be regarded as a rebellious banner. Attack him at this time, conform to the will of the people. What's more, there was the previous Son of Heaven decree, and they did so in the right name.

On the other hand, last time it was the two families who sent troops together. This time, even if it was the Wu family, then the Shi family had to worry about whether the King of Jiangling in Jingzhou would send troops to take advantage of the fire to rob. Then, the Shi family must detach a part of the soldiers and horses to guard against the Jingzhou side, so the strength to block themselves in this regard will be reduced.

On the other hand, that is, under Shi Xie, it is difficult to find a person who can compare with Zhou Yu in terms of strategy, and there is no one else who can beat Zhou Tai and Ling Tong in terms of force except Shi Wu.

Because of this, he sent only 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Yes, only thirty thousand.

However, don't underestimate these 30,000 soldiers and horses.

These 3,000 soldiers and horses are the elite soldiers of Eastern Wu, and there are even more outstanding talents among the generals of the unified army. With Wolong Zhuge Liang, Feng Xiao Pang Tong Mei Hualang Zhou Yu Zhou Gongjin led the army, and the fierce generals under his command not only included Zhou Tai, the first fierce general in Jiangdong, and Ling Tong, a brave and warlike general, but also the old generals Huang Gai and his son, Chouyan Luo Chen Wu, Shangjiang Ding Feng and others.

Regardless of Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai and Ling Tong, the ugliness of Yama Luo Chen Wu alone is enough for the people of the Shi family to have a headache.

This is Sun Quan's idea, and of course it is Zhou Yu's suggestion.

It's just that Sun Quan never thought that the background of the Shi family was much deeper than he imagined.

When Zhou Yu's army arrived at the border, Shi Yi had already gathered 50,000 troops and stopped them in their path.

The joint venture is several miles wide, built on the mountain, and there is a mountain stream on the side.

The avenue into the mountain was buried by the joint venture.

This joint venture is not ordinary, down the mountain, four arrow towers are built in about three miles, there are more towers connected between the arrow towers, and there are love wall battlements on the towers.

It looks like an ordinary Yingpanzhai gate, but it looks like a small city built temporarily.

There are countless archers on the arrow tower and tower pavilion, one by one, holding bows and pinching arrows and looking around, and the cautious color is fully displayed.

The vanguard soldiers and horses sent by Zhou Yu, the generals of the unified army were the old general Huang Gai Huang Gongfu, and the deputy general was Huang Gai's son Huang Bing.

"Father, the city ahead seems to be newly built!" Bypassing the mountain road, Huang Bing looked at the camp in the distance and hurriedly said to Huang Gai.

Huang Gai looked in the direction of his son's finger, couldn't help frowning, and said, "What a village built by the mountains!" ”

"Build a village in the mountains?!" Huang Bing asked puzzled.

"Not bad! They are taking advantage of the mountain situation and occupying the water source in the form of a cottage! It seems that the Shi family also has capable people! Huang Gai said with emotion.

"Father, what now?" Seeing that Huang Gai stopped the march, Huang Bing asked.

Huang Gai looked at the col behind him, and then at the stream not far away that was occupied by the Shijia camp, and said, "Let the soldiers stop and rest for the time being." Our first priority now is to find a source of water! If you don't have a water source, you can't do it! ”

"Good!" Huang Bing agreed, and then sent people out to find water.

Huang Gai sent someone to inform Zhou Yu.

Among these generals under Sun Quan, Huang Gai is definitely the number one person.

As one of the four elders of Sun Jian's period, his status was only a little lower than Cheng Pu, but relatively higher than Han Dang and Zu Mao. What's more, Sun Quan has always respected the elders.

Now, Zu Mao has passed away, and only Cheng Pu, Han Dang and him are left among the elders of the country.

And Han Dangye was no longer able to go on the expedition, and the old injury recurred, making the old general bedridden when he returned from Sun Quandian.

Originally, Sun Quan did not let Huang Gai go on the expedition, but sent him to follow Cheng Pu to train recruits in Chaisang.

The old hero has to compete with Ding Feng for the vanguard.

This Ding Feng said unabashedly: "Old general, people don't fail to be old with their bones!" Leave it to us young people to kill the enemy! ”

Just such a sentence provoked Huang Gai.

Huang Gai snatched the position of pioneer from Ding Feng.

For this reason, Zhou Yu had no choice but to ask Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, to arrange for Zhonglang to send Huang Bing, that is, Huang Gai's son, to the pioneer camp together.

In fact, in Zhou Yu's eyes, Huang Gai is more suitable for the position of pioneer than Ding Feng. Although in terms of age, Huang Gai is over sixty years old, his physical strength is indeed not as good as Ding Feng, who is just fifty years old; However, in terms of experience in marching and fighting, Huang Gai was far stronger than Ding Feng. In the army, although Cheng Pu is also ranked as the governor of the capital, Huang Gai's ability is no worse than Cheng Pu.

Therefore, Huang Gai assigned various tasks very calmly, and his methodical orders reflected the wisdom of the veteran.

The general of the Shi family on the cottage in the distance is none other than Shi Yi.

"Sun Quan sent the veteran Huang Gai." Shi Yi looked at Shi Song next to him and asked, "Do you know this person?" ”

"Huang Gai, the word is public, he is the old minister of Jiangdong Husun Jian in the past. This person has been on the battlefield for a long time, can fight well, and is a difficult person to fight! Shi Song replied.

Shiwu on the side couldn't hear him say that the enemy was powerful, and shouted: "The fourth brother also looks up to that old horseman too much!" Just an old man, a certain only needs hundreds of soldiers and horses to take his life! lest thou exalt the prestige of others and extinguish thy own spirit! ”

"The third brother is reckless! The confrontation between the two armies, how can it be child's play?! To fight, you naturally have to fight and kill, but you must also know yourself and know that the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles! If you dare to send troops recklessly, don't blame your brother for not being merciful! Shi Yi scolded Shi Wu sharply.

Only Shi Yi dares to do this.

Seeing that the second brother scolded him angrily, Shiwu immediately lowered his head in fright and retreated in a gloomy manner.

But I heard Shi Yi say: "Huang Gongfu is a veteran of the three dynasties in Jiangdong, and his martial arts are strong, and you can't be defeated by non-warriors!" Lining up the troops is also quite magical! I heard that his son Huang Bing is deeply valued by Zhou Yu, so he has to be careful! ”

General Wu Ju stepped forward and said, "Governor, no matter what, we have to go out and test it first!" As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles! ”

"That's what Pontus wants! It's just that although Huang Gai is old, he is also a famous general in Wu State! That pair of double whips dares to shake Huaxiong, who in our army can fight with it?! Shi Yi sighed and said.

When Shiwu heard this, he pursed his mouth and was about to speak, but was stopped by Shisong. But he heard Shi Song whisper: "This battle is not for you to go!" It's not just about defeating Huang Gai, it's about testing the depth of the enemy! ”

"Well, I don't have the ability!" Shiwu is self-aware.

Shi Song smiled, the corners of his mouth turned to the Lai Gong brothers, who were side by side with Shi Wu, and whispered in Shi Wu's ear: "That's the candidate in the second brother's heart!" ”

At this time, Shiwu saw that no one spoke, and he also understood the meaning of Shisong's words, leaned his body slightly towards Lai Gong, and suddenly pushed his shoulders towards Lai Gong.

Lai Gong was staring at the Metropolitan Governor in front of him with a thoughtful expression. Seeing Shi Yi looking at his brother from time to time, he secretly said bad in his heart.

At this moment, he was struck and stepped out.

"General Lai!?" Shi Yi's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lai Gong's shoulders, and said happily, "The governor of Pontus is worried!" I didn't expect General Lai to volunteer, it's really good! In that case, this task will be handed over to your brothers! ”

"This ......" Lai Gong scolded in his heart, but he couldn't say it!

Shi Yi turned around suddenly, returned to his seat, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers Lai Gong and Lai Man, Brother Xu Ru, the governor of Pontus, has 5,000 elite soldiers and goes to fight in front of the Wu army. Whether you win or lose, no matter what the result is, you will be credited to your brother! However, you have to find out the strength of the enemy army! ”

"No!" Lai Gong glared at Shiwu fiercely, but he had to take the errand.

"Big brother, why did you rob this errand?" Lai asked arrogantly.

Lai Gong snorted coldly and scolded: "I'm not stupid, how could I rob this errand?" ”

"But ......"

"Nothing! This is Shiwu that kid secretly makes a means! ”

Lai Gong's heart was full of anger......
