Chapter 13 Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea

"Xingba, what's the situation?" Seeing that Gan Ning, who had been ordered to reconnoiter the water situation downstream, also returned, Zhao Feng hurriedly asked.

"General, I'm afraid it won't work." Gan Ning said with a bitter face, and then explained in detail: "The last general will take a boat all the way downstream to the mouth of the sea, but there is not even a place where the army can cross the river. ”

"If you don't have it, forget it!" Zhao Feng also knew that there was little hope for this matter, after all, Sun Quan had been running Jiangdong for many years, and it was indeed unlikely that he would leave a big flaw for you. Since this trick doesn't work, it's time to do it again.

"Yes, Wenyuan, Wenda, the two of you will lead 10,000 elite soldiers to go to the opposite side of Sanshan Town; Wen Chang, Wen Xiang, you lead 10,000 people to go to the village opposite Niuzhu. Zhao Feng then arranged.

"The last will obey." Zhang Liao, Li Tong, Wei Yan and Xu Sheng responded at the same time. Gao Ran on the side pondered for a moment when he heard this: "General Zhao, do you want to advance together in multiple ways, so that the Jiangdong Army can't figure out our reality and reality?" ”

"That's not all!" Zhao Feng smiled when he heard this, and immediately instructed Gao Ran and Wen Ping in detail, and the two of them were all convinced after listening to it, and then acted according to the plan without mentioning it.

"What are the recent movements of the Xuzhou Army?" In the city of Wu County, Sun Quan asked Zhu Ran, who had just returned from Niuzhu. Since learning the news of Cheng Pu's defeat, Sun Quan did not dare to ignore the Xuzhou army. "Back to the lord, they attacked our army's Jiangbei Shuizhai several times, but they all returned in vain." Zhu Ran replied.

"I see, it seems that the Xuzhou Sailor is nothing more than that. Relying on the location and the sharpness of the bow and crossbow, he secretly calculated against General Cheng. If you really want to fight, how can you be the opponent of my Jiangdong Naval Division. Sun Quan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. At this time, someone came to report that after Zhou Yu quelled the rebellion in Huiji County, he went straight down the Ganjiang River to fight with the Jingzhou Navy.

"Gong Jin is really powerful, and he put down the rebellion so quickly. I have Gongjin, why not be afraid of Erliu! Sun Quan laughed when he heard this, and all the ministers in the hall were also smiling. What they didn't notice was that there was a trace of murderous aura in the corners of Sun Quan's eyes.

"The Xuzhou army divided its troops and set up two villages?" In the water army village of Hulin Port, He Qi heard the Malay newspaper and was somewhat surprised by this.

"I think it's the Xuzhou Army that is preparing to advance with the virtual and the real, so that I can't figure out the virtual and the real. Tell Tai Shici and General Jiang Qin to be on guard. He Qi thought about it, but he didn't come up with any other explanation. At the moment, while letting people inform Tai Shici and Jiang Qin, they also sent more detectives to inquire about the news.

However, in the next few days, the Xuzhou army was almost not disturbed by Jiang, but mobilized troops on a large scale. The army originally stationed in Lujiang City increased its troops to the battalion set up by Zhang Liao on the opposite side of the Three Mountains, and sent 5,000 troops every day. At the same time, after Zhang Liao established Dazhai, he also began to collect rafts and prepare for water battles.

These actions are not small, and they have been frequently transferred for nearly ten days in a row, so naturally they cannot hide from Jiangdong. "Zhao Feng is sending more troops to the opposite side of Sanshan Town?" He Qi also felt a little strange.

"It's not good, general, it seems that Zhao Feng wants to bully General Jiang Qin's small number of soldiers, so he wants to fight across the river from Sanshan! General Jiang only has 3,000 men, how can he deal with Zhao Feng's army, and send people to support him immediately! When Captain Lu Meng under He Qi heard this, he immediately put forward his own opinion.

"I'm afraid it's not so simple, pass the order, and send more detailed work to continue to investigate." He Qi pondered for a long time and continued to give an order.

"General?" Lu Meng was a little surprised when he heard this, but was about to say anything more but was stopped by He Qi, who looked at Lu Meng, and then said slowly: "Zhao Feng is Liu Bei's right-hand man. Now that the situation of Sanshan and Niuzhu is unknown, he rashly led troops to rescue, in case Zhao Feng took the opportunity to attack Hulin, what should he do? ”

"I see, the last general has been taught!" Lu Meng also nodded again and again when he heard this, and he was a little ashamed of his intuitive reaction to the suitability. At that moment, He Qiduo sent a detailed work to Sanshan and Lujiang to continue to inquire about the news. However, the city of Lujiang is still constantly increasing troops to Sanshan, and 5,000 thunders cannot be moved every day, so that within a few days, there are already more than 50,000 horses in Zhang Liao's big village, and at the same time, Jiang Qin on the opposite side only has 3,000 defenders, and the strength is very different.

A few days passed, and on this day, He Qi suddenly convened the generals to discuss the matter. "Ladies and gentlemen, Tanma inquired clearly, it turned out that Zhao Feng sent troops to reinforce Zhang Liao every time, but in the evening, he secretly asked people to go to Niu Zhu, Wei Yan and Xu Sheng. This Zhao Feng originally wanted to play a trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea, on the surface to reinforce Zhang Liao, but in fact it was to reinforce Wei Yan, it seems that he wanted to start from Niu Zhu! He Qi put the two pieces of information on the table in front of him and said with a smile.

"I see, fortunately, the general acted cautiously and did not rush to send troops. What should we do now, general? Lu Meng was also afraid for a while when he heard this, and he admired He Qi more and more at the moment.

"What else? Since Zhao Feng is smart, let's give him a head-on blow. Ziming, you set off overnight with 2,000 men and horses, converge with General Jiang Qin in Sanshan Town, and join forces to join General Tai Shici in Niuzhu. I will ask General Sun in Danyang City to send troops, and you will set up an ambush at night and prepare to meet Wei Yan. He Qi finished all the arrangements in one go, although Zhou Yu ordered the three of them to stay in one place, but among the three in terms of strategy, He Qi was the most outstanding, so invisibly Tai Shici and Jiang Qin listened to his transfer.

"The last general understands!" When LΓΌ Meng heard this, he also bowed down to receive the order, and then mobilized his military horses to go to Sanshan overnight to meet Jiang Qin. After a night of rapid marching, it was not until the early morning of the second day that they arrived at Sanshan Town.

"I see!" Jiang Qin also suddenly realized when he heard Lu Meng explain He Qi's analysis, and then said with relief: "I said how the big village opposite Zhang Liao has been collecting rafts recently, but every village is full of smoke, and it doesn't look like there are 50,000 troops stationed, so it turned out to be a bluff. That being the case, let's join forces and go to the aid of General Tai Shici! At that moment, Jiang Qin left 500 people to garrison Sanshan Town under the leadership of his own generals, and he led people to rush to Niuzhu to reinforce Tai Shici.

"Is that so?" After seeing Lu Meng and Jiang Qin leading the army to reinforcements, and hearing that He Qi arranged it like this, Tai Shici was also shocked into a cold sweat. "General Taishi, be careful, there are fifty or sixty thousand people under Wei Yan on the other side, and they may be smuggled at any time!" Lu Meng hurriedly reminded.

"I'm self-reflecting!" Tai Shici also secretly paid attention to himself, and sent many detailed investigations to investigate the news on the other side of the strait without mentioning it.

"General, Wei Yan and Xu Sheng have been collecting rafts these days. Instead of going to the people's homes to collect it, they ordered people to go to the nearby mountains to cut down bamboo and wood, and then the craftsmen secretly made it in the rear army. "That evening, a detailed work came back and reported in detail.

"I see, Wei Yan's husband is good enough, he actually made a raft by himself, it seems that he will have to do it in one or two!" Tai Shi Ci was also relieved when he heard this, and then ordered the sergeant to rest and be on guard at night.

Two days later, that night, the Dazhai of Wei Yan and Xu Sheng's garrison opposite Niuzhu suddenly put down the newly built bamboo rafts and small wooden boats, and then a group of soldiers dressed in black boarded the boats one after another, and then rowed towards the silent Tai Shici camp opposite. "General Wei, you're all ready!" On one of the larger boats, Xu Sheng looked around and whispered to Wei Yan beside him.

"Pass the order, and ask the soldiers to be on guard." Wei Yan also looked grim, and the ghost head knife in his hand couldn't help but hold it tighter.

Nearly 100 small boats and bamboo rafts rowed silently to the opposite bank, this section of the river is not very wide, and in a short time the first dozen or so have already arrived. Wei Yan and Xu Sheng had just jumped off the boat, and a row of torches was lit on the shore, and then countless Jiangdong soldiers were killed, three of whom were Tai Shici, Jiang Qin, and LΓΌ Meng.

"Haha, Wei Yanxiao'er, I have seen through the tricks, and you are not ready to be arrested?" In Lu Meng's smug laughter, the arrows on the shore rained down on the Xuzhou sergeant who had not yet had time to get off the boat.

"Don't panic, use the rattan card to block the arrows, and kill with me!" Although Wei Yan saw that the other party was on guard, he still stepped forward first. The Xuzhou sergeants on the boat also raised the rattan cards or wooden planks in their hands to block the arrows, and then jumped down to help the battle.

"Hey!" Wei Yan's ghost-headed broadsword had a ruthless close contact with Tai Shici's Fang Tianji, and then both of them took a few steps back, and this hard fight turned out to be an equal match. At this time, although it is a foot battle, but the martial arts have reached the point where the two of them have their own set of fighting methods, even if they are not right away, they have their own set of fighting methods, and the two of them are fighting with swords and halberds, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

"General Taishi, I'm here to help you!" Jiang Qin stabbed at Wei Yan with a single shot. "Hugh can bully more and less!" Xu Sheng hurriedly waved his knife to stop it. "Wei Yan, you have no chance of winning today, it's better to surrender early!" Tai Shi Ci took the time to look at the surrounding situation, because Wei Yan's bamboo raft was too small, in fact, there were only about 2,000 people who crossed the river with him.

"Who says there's no win?" Wei Yan waved two swords in a row to force Tai Shici and Jiang Qin away, and then took a few steps back and said with a smile: "Now General Wenyuan should have taken Sanshan Town!" ”

"What?" Tai Shici and Jiang Qin's faces changed drastically when they heard this. "The big village of Zhang Liao opposite Sanshan Town is a bluff, every day 5,000 people are transferred in, but at night they are transferred to your military tent, don't you know about me?" Jiang Qinqiang calmed down.

"Hehe, I went five thousand during the day, but I only went two thousand five hundred at night, but each person only had two torches, and now there are 40,000 horses there. Also, in the middle of the night, the three watches are blind in the dark, and it is not so easy for you to count them carefully! Wei Yan said with emotion.

"Bastard!" Jiang Qin saw that Wei Yan's expression was so weak, and he was about to step forward to fight with him again in anger, but was stopped by Tai Shici: "General Jiang, if Sanshan Town is lost, it will be a big deal, hurry back to the army!" Tai Shi Ci said in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Jiang Qin hated the authenticity, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant not to entangle with the Xuzhou army and leave the battlefield as soon as possible. Wei Yan was not too concerned about himself, and led the remnants of the horses to board the raft and retreat to the north shore.

"General Taishi, there will be a period later!" Wei Yan saw that his ship was beyond the range of the Jiangdong Army's bow and crossbow, and immediately stood upright on the bow of the ship and waved goodbye, Tai Shici and Jiang Qin were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they had to temporarily retreat to Dazhai and discuss the rescue of Sanshan at the same time.
