readx;
Cheng Pu wanted to fight, Lu Su naturally couldn't stop him, but Jiang Qin blocked the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info For Lu Su, Cheng Pu can be arrogant, because Wenchen and military generals have not dealt with each other since ancient times. But in the face of Jiang Qin, Cheng Pu had to be cautious. At the very least, if he plays tricks in front of Jiang Qin, with Jiang Qin's martial arts, he can completely knock him out and throw him aside!
"Gongyi, you're going to stop me too?" Cheng Pu frowned, his eyes staring coldly at Jiang Qin. Although you can't be arrogant, the military is a place where seniority is discussed. With Cheng Pu's qualifications, if he wants to force Jiang Qin back, there is no problem!
"General Cheng, your qualifications are higher than mine, but I still have to say something. You just said that if there is an accident, you will carry it on your shoulder. How do you pick one? Looking at Cheng Pu coldly, in Jiang Qin's heart, he has become an old man who doesn't know what to do!
"I..." Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment, a trace of cold sweat flowed from his head, he really couldn't bear the consequences of the accident!
"Humph!" Jiang Qin snorted coldly and said, "The military advisor has no martial arts, and he doesn't have your qualifications, you can underestimate him." But don't you want to think about it, how important is Xiakou? If you lose Xiakou, the door of Jiangdong will be opened, and the king's foundation will be destroyed, and you will not be able to atone for your sins even if you die! ”
"Goo-du-to-goo-to-do...," Cheng Pu swallowed his saliva and said, "But we can't just keep it like this!" ”
"What else do you have to do but hold on? If we can not only repel the Qin army, but also keep the port of Xiakou, we can give it a try! Seeing that Cheng Pu had no confidence, Jiang Qin didn't want to make him too ugly, and immediately turned the arrogance against him into a discussion of the problem!
"There is no way for the old man to do anything but attack!" Cheng Pu also got off the donkey, as an old man, not only is he old, but he also has a lot of experience in political struggle!
"Since there is no way, please ask the old general to be patient. Although the Jiangdong Navy dominates the world, the Qin army has a catapult that can be erected on the ship, and it has already surpassed our army! Now, we should work together to defend Xiakou! Lu Su also saw the stitches and hoped to have a good relationship with Cheng Pu. He doesn't have Zhou Yu's courage, and he doesn't dare to use Cheng Pu to make an example of chickens!
"The old man is also a little anxious when he sees the situation in Xiakou Port, if there is any offense, please forgive me! Strategist, you are resourceful, I hope you want to think of more ways! Cheng Pu arched his hand and put away the arrogance on his face. Now that the situation is critical, it is not the time for infighting, he knows the importance of making peace!
"The old general can rest assured, as a military advisor, it is naturally his responsibility to give advice! But..."Lu Su wanted to speak and stopped, for fear that Cheng Pu would not listen to the order!
"Zijing, rest assured, the old man is not an unreasonable person!" Cheng Pu patted his chest, although he didn't swear by the curse, but the sincerity on his face moved Lu Su very much! However, before Lu Su was moved, Qin Jun's dirt bag came again!
Cheng Pu was an unlucky child, countless sacks flew in the sky, and one of them smashed on the top of his head. His reaction was quick, and he slashed it with a single sword. What's in the sack? Earth! The sack was cut open, and he was baptized with the soil inside!
"Old General, are you alright?" Lu Su and Jiang Qin hurriedly helped Cheng Pu pat off the soil on his body, but the soil on his face, ears, nose, mouth and eyes, the two of them couldn't do anything!
"It's fine!" Cheng Pu finally understood why Lu Su and Jiang Qin were so embarrassed. But for the sake of face, he still has to hold on. It wasn't until the soil on his face was almost cleaned up that he smiled bitterly: "Two, if you continue like this, the morale of our army will be gone." Isn't it time for us to fight back? ”
"Why don't we want to fight back? How can you fight back? Jiang Qin shook his head, he had no hope of fighting back!
"There it is!" Cheng Pu said: "Two, our army can't deal with the Qin army's warships with catapults, but we can cut off the Qin army's grain route!" Just imagine, when the Qin army came to attack, it had to bring both sacks and soldiers, and it couldn't bring too much military rations. Therefore, most of the military rations of the Qin army were stored in Jiangxia or Xiangyang! On the river, the Qin army had catapults, and if they went ashore, what was the use of catapults? As long as our army passes through the flat place in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then leads the troops to attack the Qin army's grain hoard, even if it can't defeat the Qin army, it can still make it retreat! ”
Lu Su frowned; "But how can we cross the Yangtze River? Now, as long as the warships of our army leave the port, they will immediately be hit by catapults, and it is even more impossible to erect a pontoon bridge! The Qin army scouts have been patrolling the Yangtze River, and we can't cross the river in a short time! ”
"Without a boat or a bridge, can we stump my Jiangdong naval army?" Cheng Pu's face was full of pride, and his tone was full of pride!
"The old general is saying..."Jiang Qin understood a little, he bared his teeth and said, "Swim over from the flat water?" ”
"Exactly!" Cheng Pu said with a smile: "Everyone in the world knows that northerners ride horses, and southerners ride boats. But I forgot that the southerners not only know how to take the boat, but also the water surname is also first-class! In the eyes of the northerners, the Yangtze River is a moat, but in the eyes of the southerners, the Yangtze River is our food and clothing parents. Where the water is urgent, the southerners can swim through, and where the water is slow, how can they stop the pace of the southerners? ”
"What the old general said is very true, I admire it!" Lu Su was convinced, he almost forgot that almost all the southerners could swim! However, this is not to blame Lu Su, because he does not know how to swim. The children of rich families naturally have to maintain their bearing. Especially for small families who want to be promoted to a family, the family will not let their children take off their clothes and swim in the water like the children of poor people.
"These are all the things of children from poor families, and it's normal for Zijing not to remember them for a while!" Cheng Pu smiled, he still remembered that Lu Su was recommended by Zhou Yu and favored by Sun Ce through two grains, and he would not force Lu Su to know about the poor family!
Not wanting to dwell on the issue of origin, Lu Su bowed down and said, "Without further ado, please ask the old general to prepare!" If you can defeat the Qin army, it will be the work of the old general! ”
"The old man is old, why do you want so much credit? The old man just wants to keep the foundation for Wentai, and after he dies, he will have the face to see the old brother! As if he remembered something, Cheng Pu was a little nostalgic, but he quickly came back to his senses and said loudly: "Gongyi, my soldiers are very tired after a long journey, and your soldiers have been resisting the Qin army for a long time. You will choose a soldier from the two armies who is mentally and physically acceptable, and who knows the surname Shui, and cross the river with me! ”
Jiang Qin exclaimed: "The old general wants to lead the team personally? No, absolutely not! You are a pillar of Jiangdong, how can you be in danger? To lead a sneak attack on the enemy's rear, let me do it! ”
"Nonsense!" Cheng Pu said angrily: "Do you think it's dangerous to lead a sneak attack? No, it's more dangerous to stay here! Here, not only do you have to face the catapults of the Qin army, but you don't know when the Qin army will attack! The old man is old and frail, so he naturally wants to find an easy job, do you want to compete with the old man? ”
"The last general listens to the old general's orders!" Jiang Qin's eyes were a little moist, and he understood Cheng Pu's thoughts. Acting under the rule of the enemy, the danger is self-evident, Cheng Pu is gambling with his surname, just for the temporary safety of Jiangdong!
"That's great!" Cheng Pu patted Jiang Qin's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "The old man is more than sixty years old this year, even if he lives for another twenty years, he can't do anything for Jiangdong." But you are only in your forties, and you can work hard for Jiangdong for at least 20 years! Gongyi, the old man is optimistic about you, you have to take care of yourself, don't despise yourself! ”
"Old general, I..." Listening to the words like a testament, Jiang Qin's tears could not be suppressed, and he choked up and said: "Don't worry, Jiangdong is here, I am here; If Jiangdong dies, I will die Jiangdong! ”
"With your words, the old man is relieved!" Cheng Pu said with a smile: "Go and choose soldiers, be stronger, don't pick defective products for the old man!" ”
"That's nature!" Jiang Qin replied and began to select soldiers.
When the Jiangdong soldiers heard that they were going to swim across the Yangtze River to attack the Qin army, they were eager to try, and Jiang Qin selected nearly 20,000 people and handed them over to Cheng Pu. At midnight, Cheng Pu and his army secretly crossed the Yangtze River from the flat water level downstream and went directly to the vicinity of Jiangxia. Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to attack Jiangxia City, because he didn't think that the 20,000 Jiangdong Army could capture Jiangxia guarded by 20,000 Qin troops!
After three days, Cheng Pu had no news back to Xiakou, and the Jiangdong Army in Xiakou Port did not move, but Lu Xun felt that something was wrong, he called Gan Ning and asked: "Xingba, these days, why haven't I seen the grain transport officer from Jiangxia?" ”
"I didn't see it either!" Blinking, Gan Ning called a junior colonel and said, "Go, call the grain officer!" ”
After a while, the grain officer arrived, and he saluted, "Commander, general, what are your orders for calling me here?" ”
Lu Xun knocked on the handsome case and asked, "How much military ration does our army have?" ”
"Qiyu military division, there are three military rations!" Military rations are related to the safety of the whole army, and the grain officers hurriedly and truthfully reported it.
"How can there be three more?" Lu Xun frowned and said: "I ordered Jiangxia to send three military rations every time, plus the military rations carried by our army, there should be ten military rations today!" ”
The grain officer said: "Qiqi military division, three days ago, Jiangxia did not send military rations over, and the military rations that should be sent today were not delivered, I originally thought to report to you in the evening, so you called me here!" ”
"Nonsense!" Lu Xun said angrily: "There was no military rations sent three days ago, and you dare to conceal it and not report it?" Isn't it possible that our army's military discipline and military law can't kill people! ”
"Strategist, spare your life!" The grain officer knelt down in fear, and he kowtowed: "Jiangxia is so close to here, I thought they would send it together twice!" This has happened before, but I didn't expect them to send it twice! ”
"What kind of crime is concealment and failure to report, you should know!" Looking at the grain officer with a hideous face, Lu Xun roared: "Come on, drag this person down and behead the public!" ”
"Strategist... Spare your life..."The four guards pulled the grain officer out of the cabin, and a scream rang out in the bow of the ship. After a while, a big human head was put on a plate and brought in!
With a wave of his hand, he asked people to take out the head and go missing, Lu Xun smiled bitterly: "Xingba, we are in trouble..."
