Chapter 19: The timing is not right

The biggest reason why the Jiangdong Shui Division is among the best among the princes of the world is that the southerners have good water characteristics, and the northerners are all landlubbers (the background of the times, not compared with modern times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ）。

The soldiers of Jiangdong got on the boat, and the eight winds did not move, and they were as steady as Mount Tai, while the soldiers in the north got on the boat and went into the water, and those who could not swim were already afraid, and those who could swim might not be able to stand on the rocking boat.

In water warfare, broadside warfare is the main theme of this era, because long-range attacks are at most frontal, and if you have the intention to avoid the enemy's arrows, you only need to hide on the other side of the ship or in the cabin, and the enemy is helpless, and rockets have not yet become the mainstream, after all, rockets are fatal to the enemy, and if you are not careful, self-damage is also fatal.

Zhou Yu said that there was a lack of arrows in the army, which was not necessarily fake, after all, after the Battle of Chibi, the Jiangdong Army crossed the river to the north to attack Wulin, from long-distance shooting to melee hand-to-hand combat, and outside the woods to shoot arrows into the fire-covered forest, all consumed a huge number of arrows.

It's just that it is far-fetched to take this reason as not being able to join forces with Liu Bei to fight Guo Jia.

With the Jiangdong Army's water warfare capabilities, even without a single arrow, it can run rampant on the Yangtze River unimpeded.

Zhuge Liang heard Zhou Yu's off-string voice, Jiangdong couldn't openly break with Liu Bei, so he found some reason to shirk it.

"I don't know if the Metropolitan Governor sends troops to fight, how many arrows will be needed?"

Zhuge Liang asked calmly.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su were surprised, according to Zhuge Liang's words, could he still support the arrows that Jiangdong needed?

Since the topic has been opened, the other party did not retreat, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to go down.

"One hundred thousand!"

This number is definitely not a decimal, and Liu Bei definitely does not have so much, even if Jiangxia Taishou Liu Qi takes out all his belongings to make arrows day and night, he will not be able to make it up in a short time.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang calmly to see how he answered.

After Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, he suddenly asked: "If our army sends 100,000 arrows to the Grand Governor, will the Grand Governor send troops to join forces with my lord to resist Guo Jia?" ”

From the demeanor, Zhou Yu couldn't see what kind of medicine Zhuge Liang was selling in the gourd, he was not full of confidence, but he was not embarrassed, and he was calm.

Speaking of which, can Zhou Yu talk back?

So he immediately said, "Yes! As long as Uncle Liu Huang can send 100,000 arrows within ten days, I, Jiangdong, will send troops to fight against Guo Jia with Uncle Liu. ”

As soon as Zhou Yu's voice fell, Zhuge Liang immediately bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Okay, within ten days, our army will present 100,000 arrows to the governor of the capital, and I hope that Wu Hou will fulfill his promise and help my lord." ”

"It's a deal."

Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang's departing back, his expression changing.

According to Liu Bei's current situation, 100,000 arrows will definitely not be made within ten days, what can Zhuge Liang do?

Lu Su followed out to catch up with Zhuge Liang, he knew in his heart that now Jiangdong was unable to fight again, he could not offend Guo Jia, but he also had to maintain the Sun-Liu alliance.

Jiangdong did not refuse to die without help, but the harsh conditions of these 100,000 arrows have already shown Jiangdong's attitude.

Three days later, as soon as the army entered the territory of Badong, in the carriage escorted by the heavily armored tiger guards, Zhao Yun woke up slowly, wearing a single coat, and the wound on his shoulder was wrapped in a white cloth, and the crimson blood was faintly visible.

His body was covered with a thick quilt, and when Zhao Yun opened his eyes, he saw a pair of slender hands holding a towel to wipe the sweat beads on his face.

Sitting up suddenly, Zhao Yun felt a tingling pain in his shoulder, gritted his teeth and held back, Zhao Yun lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out, the vast mountains and fields, and the Wushan Mountain was ethereal.

Outside the car, the tiger guard, who was fully armed with heavy armor and spears, walked forward calmly, turned his head, Zhao Yun looked at the three maids kneeling beside him, his eyebrows were clear, and he was not very old, so Zhao Yun asked in a gentle tone: "Three girls, where is this place?" ”

The three little girls shook their heads, they were only responsible for taking care of Zhao Yun on the road, and they didn't know anything else.

They are all Gangneung natives, and when they leave Gangneung City, they can't tell the difference between the east, the south, the west, and the north.

At this moment, someone lifted the roller shutter of the car door, and the cold wind of winter rushed into the carriage, making Zhao Yun feel a little cold.

An old man with a white beard looked at Zhao Yun with kind eyes, saw that he looked good, and said, "The general is awake?" Rest assured, the general's body and bones are very good, and that small injury can heal in a few days. If the general doesn't mind, the old man will change the general's medicine now? ”

When Zhao Yun heard the old man's words, he knew that the other party was a doctor, so he humbly bowed his hand and bowed his head: "Then there is a lot of work." ”

The old man carried the medicine box into the carriage, fortunately, the carriage was spacious and comfortable, Zhao Yun sat in the middle, on one side were three maids, and on the other side were the doctors who carefully changed the medicine for Zhao Yun.

The three maids all looked away, and Zhao Yun turned his head to ask the healer.

"Where is this place?"

The healer looked at the healing condition of Zhao Yun's wound and said with a smile: "It's about to arrive in Yong'an City, does the general want to get out of the car and walk around?" Bear with me, and you'll be able to enter the city before sunset. ”

Yong'an! Patong-gun!

Zhao Yun was shocked, he was captured by Guo Jia, he was neither beheaded for public display, nor was he taken into custody, what was he doing when he was escorted to Yong'an?

With a lot of worries, Zhao Yun, who was silent, began to think about a strategy to get out.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the weapon lying flat in the corner of the car.

Chasing the wind and shining silver guns!

Zhao Yun was stunned, this general who escorted him was too uncommon-sense!

Doesn't keeping his weapon at hand to increase his chances of escape?

After changing the medicine and wrapping a new bandage, the doctor was packing up the medicine box when he suddenly patted his head.

"Oh, the old man is really confused. General, this letter was handed over to the general by Guo Yuanjun to the old man. ”

The healer took out a piece of white silk from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun, who was thinking about a way to get out, took it and opened it to take a look.

It reads:

"Zilong is like a meeting, you are injured and unconscious, the situation in Jingzhou is treacherous, and it is not appropriate to stay for a long time. I took it upon myself to send you to Chengdu to recuperate, don't blame you. I know that you do not want to surrender to me, but I cannot bear to kill or humiliate you, so I send you away from the land of right and wrong, which is a last resort. In Zilong's heart, I am a thief, I am a rebel minister of the Han family, since this is the case, then let me be despicable and shameless again, there are two thousand tiger guards accompanying Zilong, Zilong wants to escape, no one stops him, but the three maids who take care of you along the way and the two doctors who treat Zilong's injuries, I will raze the three clans! The grace of dripping water should be reported by the spring, and Zilong will stand up to the sky and the earth, so he should not affect others because of himself, right? Bong-hyo. ”

Zhao Yun put away the white silk with a heavy heart, and asked the three maids, "Why did the three girls come to take care of you?" Can you be coerced? ”

The three little girls looked at the handsome and extraordinary Zhao Yun inexplicably.

The older girl replied truthfully: "It was the eldest son of the Marquis of Muwuyang in Yizhou who invited him with a lot of money in Jiangling City." ”

The three maids and the two healers were all summoned by Guo Ye with a large reward, in other words, these five people were all willing to serve on this errand.

"Wait, aren't you afraid of the Taiping Army?"

Zhao Yun felt incredible, Guo Jia's Taiping army had just entered Jiangling, how could there be ordinary people willing to serve him?

Of course, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and death for money abounds.

It's just that these little girls and the old healer, Zhao Yun can't feel their hostility to the Taiping Army from these people.

The little girl who still replied said innocently: "There are merchants in Yizhou who continue to come to Jingzhou to do business, and I heard that the people of Yizhou have a good life, they don't have to fight, they are well fed and warmly dressed, and the Marquis of Yizhou Muwuyang is a good official." ”

Rumor! Definitely a rumor!

What Zhao Yun can imagine is that Yizhou businessmen have been in contact with Jingzhou for more than ten years, constantly imperceptibly accumulating folk prestige for Guo Jia, so that he has a good reputation.

Now, Zhao Yun gave up the idea of escaping, he was afraid of harming these innocent people.

Even if he could escape unharmed with the three girls and the two healers, the families of these five people in Gangneung City were afraid of accidents.

In fact, Guo Jia is just bluffing, these five people don't talk about their families, even their names, Guo Jia doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

Who made Zhao Yun a hero? Who made Zhao Yun an honest man? In Guo Jia's hands, if you want to restrain him, just put a little effort into it.

Zhao Yun has always been a military general, and his way of thinking is not as meticulous and meticulous as that of a strategist, just need to look back and think about it, Guo Jia has been in charge of Yizhou for 20 years, except for a rebellion by Zhang Baiqi during the period, and the southern barbarian army did not really harass the people when it went north.

Zhao Yun couldn't guess how Guo Jia planned to treat him, so he could only take one step at a time.

Guo Jia, who was resting his troops and horses in Jiangling, was not in a hurry to sweep Jingnan, and the naval battalion by the river quickly completed the fortifications.

At sunset, Guo Jia reviewed the official documents in the government, and his hands were all kinds of news in Jiangling City, it turned out that the officials in Jingzhou, Guo Jia did not move, and he was unwilling to serve him, so he was sent away, and if he was willing to continue to stay in the official position, then stay and do things well.

Someone came from outside, Guo Jia looked up and saw that it was Pang Tong.

Pang Tong came to Guo Jia and frowned in a low voice: "Lord, a group of five hundred soldiers came to Changsha, and the representative called himself Wei Yan, who claimed to be willing to serve the lord and assist the lord to take Changsha County. ”

Guo Jia put down the pen in his hand, leaned back, and thought about it.

Pang Tong continued: "This matter is a dilemma, if you refuse, those who are willing to surrender to the lord in Jingzhou will be discouraged, but now accept Wei Yan's surrender and capture Changsha County, which is contrary to the lord's established plan, so that it is possible to force Sun Quan and Liu Bei to jointly attack our army, which gives Cao Wei the opportunity to tide over the difficulties and regroup." ”

Guo Jia is thinking.

He did not forget that there was a Wei Yan in Changsha and a Huang Zhong.

However, the time to plan to recruit these two men is not now.

But Wei Yan just came to vote himself.

At this point, Guo Jia can guess Wei Yan's thoughts.

Instead of waiting for Guo Jiabing to be forced to surrender in Changsha, it is better for him to come to serve himself and attach a Changsha County, which is enough for him to be valued by Guo Jia.

However, Nanjun, where Jiangling is located, is separated from Jiangdong by a Jiangxia County, and Changsha County, southeast of Nanjun, is indirectly adjacent to Jiangdong.

It is conceivable that if Guo Jia captures Changsha County now, Sun Quan's base camp will be swept away.
