Liu Cong shouted violently: "Send darts." I saw Yuan Ying holding a peach blossom face, opening her apricot eyes, and shouting: "Yes." "The six hundred soldiers in the dart cavalry team raised their hands at the same time, and the darts were like a group of swallows flying straight, and they plunged into the Cao Bing Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with a bang??????

Liu Cong fantasized about this, and secretly smiled in his heart: "Cao Cao has a tiger and leopard to ride, I have a dart to ride, see who can fight whom, hum, the tiger and leopard ride has not leaned on, my dart ride will launch the first wave of darts, hum, who will succeed first when the two armies meet, I, my Liu Cong's dart ride, invincible in the world." ”

Liu Cong fantasized about this, looked up and saw Zhao Yun looking at him, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Zhao has made a great contribution and captured a large number of war horses for our army, within half a month, Cong'er will form a dart cavalry team, Uncle Zhao, you wait and see." ”

Zhao Yun smiled slightly and praised: "En, Cong'er, it's good." ”

The Art of War cloud "Don't chase after the poor", that means don't push people too quickly, force them to a dead end, and everyone will turn around and fight hard.

The rabbit will bite when it is urgent, not to mention the enemy with a weapon,

The enemy who was cornered turned around and fought desperately, and the strength was terrifying.

Isn't there a saying that says "put the dead and then live",

It's like the rabbit being cornered by the dog, and he turns around and tears at the dog's nose,

At this time, the rabbit's sharp weapon is two sharp front teeth, if he bites the dog's nose, it will tear a hole open.

The dog's nose was bleeding, and if it was infected with tetanus bacteria, the dog would have died at the hands of the rabbit.

Liu Cong knows this, he must know the truth that the poor should not chase,

It has only been almost two years since he was in charge of Jingzhou and led the troops to cross the Han Dynasty to regain the lost territory.

How can he not know the truth that the poor should not be chased?

In fact, Liu Cong did not chase and kill Zhou Yu in time this time, not because he followed the warning in the military book, but because the battle was fought too fast and urgently.

Defeated forty or fifty thousand elite soldiers of Eastern Wu in one night, and at dawn Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu soldiers, fled there, no one knows, how to chase,

Because of this, Liu Cong did not rush to hunt down Zhou Yu, but rearranged the work after the war.

sent troops to station at the Pingdingshan military station, cutting off this passage,

Returned to yesterday's battlefield, counted the captured supplies, and established a dart cavalry team,

At the same time, Deng Bao was sent to lead his troops through the Pingdingshan Gorge in time to occupy the other end of the valley, which provided a guarantee for the follow-up march to conquer Chaisang.

At this time, Zhao Yun also led the troops over and stationed them in the camp abandoned by the Wu soldiers yesterday.

Yuan Ying Pang Zihui also came over, with more than a dozen of her female soldiers,

Yuan Ying Pang Zihui came to the front, and when she saw Liu Cong's eyes red, she was heartbroken together, and her eyes turned red when she landed.

When Liu Cong saw it, he understood the feelings of the two of them, so he grinned, and in front of everyone, conveyed the order to the two of her to establish a dart cavalry team, and then said: "In this way, madam, I can only give you half a month, you have to complete the training of the cavalry dart team, four hundred and ten war horses, give one hundred and ten to Uncle Zhao, keep them as military horses, and hand over the remaining three hundred horses to you, Lai Fat Man will stay here to be in charge of training, and Liang Zhuer and Ma Er will follow me through the canyon and go to the front line." ”

Yuan Ying Pang Zihui agreed,

Liu Cong thought to Zhao Yun and instructed: "Uncle Zhao and Su Fei are here with 10,000 horses, and they have a great responsibility, one is to ensure the supply of grain and straw materials on the front line, and the other is to stand by here as a strategic general reserve, well, don't say much else, Cong'er is here to ask Uncle Zhao." ”

Liu Cong said that he hugged his fist and saluted Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to be polite, even if the last general is crushed, he will definitely not live up to the lord's trust." ”

Liu Cong remembered the battle on the side of Pingdingshan and instructed Liang Zhu'er: "Lead the horse and rush to the front line for lunch." ”

Although Yuan Ying has the demeanor of a heroine, she couldn't help but feel pity and care at this time, so she said earnestly: "Lord, why don't you take a few female soldiers to take care of food and daily life." ”

Liu Cong listened on the horse, bent down and glared at Yuan Ying and asked: "Tens of thousands of soldiers in the three armies, are there female soldiers waiting for them?" ”

After that, he clamped his legs, rode forward, turned around and said to Yuan Ying: "As soon as the arrangements are made over there, I will come back to check the training of your dart cavalry team." Then he slapped his horse forward, and did not look back.

On the third day of the fifth month of the 11th year of Jian'an, Liu Cong, the ruler of Jingzhou, led 30,000 Jingzhou elite soldiers through the Pingdingshan Grand Canyon and came to meet Deng Bao, who had arrived in advance.

Deng Bao saw Liu Cong coming, hurriedly led the generals to greet him, finished the salute, and entered the big tent of the Chinese army to speak.

At this time, it was noon, the sun was hanging in the sky, baking the hot steaming on the ground, Liu Cong was in a hurry to lead the soldiers, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he was dripping with sweat.

When Deng Bao saw it, he hurriedly found a cloth towel and handed it to Liu Cong to wipe his sweat, Liang Zhu'er turned around and went out of the tent, brought a basin of cold water, and asked Liu Cong to wash his face.

Liu Cong didn't care about this, waved his hand to signal Liang Zhu'er to stay aside, and asked Deng Bao: "Have you ever seen news of Zhou Yu?" ”

"I don't see you, my lord."

"Wu Bing fled there."

"We're late, my lord, most of the Dongwu deserters fled along the river bank in the direction of Jiujiang after passing Pingdingshan, and after the last general brought the troops over, according to your orders, while camping and setting up camp, while sending scouts to sentry around, several groups of scouts came back to report like this."

"No troops were sent in pursuit."

"The last general did not see your instructions, and he did not know the enemy's situation, so he did not rashly raise troops, but just held the bridgehead here."

Liu Cong nodded after hearing this, and said: "Also, the enemy situation is unknown, don't act rashly, it's just a pity that I didn't capture a few prisoners alive, well, let's wait for the scouts to come back and report the situation." ”

When Liu Cong said this, he wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, and ordered: "Map." Then he touched the handkerchief and wiped his neck, wiped a few handfuls, and then lifted the handkerchief and stroked it to his forehead and chin a few times, scolding: "This ghost weather, do you want to heat people to death?" ”

Liu Cong got up after saying that, came to the side of the case, bent down to look at the map, pointed and muttered for a while, and did not talk to everyone, returned to his position, sat down, and ordered: "Pen and ink are served." ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he hurriedly picked up the package, took out the pen and ink and put it aside, and then turned around to scoop the water and grind the ink.

Liu Cong saw it and asked Deng Bao: "Deng Bao, take a look, is there a road of two or three hundred miles from here to Jiujiang City." ”

Deng Bao hmmmm, came over and looked at the map, but he was illiterate, and he didn't know what was going on after watching it for a while, so he raised his head and looked at Liu Cong stupidly,

Liu Cong asked again: "How far is it to Yuzhang?" "Deng Bao said that he couldn't see it,

Liu Cong thought about it and remembered that Deng Bao was illiterate, so he muttered: "Grandma, what are you talking about if you can't read." "I got up and came over again and bent down to look at the map,

In fact, the map at that time was just to draw a few mountains, depict a few rivers, and roughly indicate the location of the mountains and rivers on the city, that is, a schematic map, where there is a scale to indicate the distance,

Liu Cong came over and looked at it for a while, but he didn't understand the distance between the places, so he scolded in his heart: "Grandma's, I'm sorry for what kind of maps these are, how did the officers at this time calculate the distance from this map." ”

Scolding just scold, the map has to be seen, although the map is too poor, Liu Cong still saw his location, knowing that his 40,000 horses are now at the eastern foot of Pingdingshan Mountain,

Standing here and looking east, on the left is the rolling Yangtze River, and on the north bank of the Yangtze River, there are two important cities of Huangzhou and Qichun that have not been recovered, I don't know how many soldiers and horses are stationed in these two cities.

When looking to the east, it is facing Chaisang City and Poyang Lake, and on this side of Chaisang City is Jiujiang City, which is located on the south bank of the Great River.

A big river winds and flows into Poyang Lake from the south through Luling County and Yuzhang County, this big river is the Ganjiang River, flows into Poyang Lake and then flows into the Yangtze River through Pengze City.

Liu Cong was taken aback when he saw it, and shouted loudly: "Oh, it's very dangerous." When he shouted here, he looked up, and saw that all the generals were looking at him, Liu Cong saw it, and hurriedly put a smile on his face, and said happily: "Well, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are in a very dangerous situation now." ”

Liu Cong said this, thinking in his heart: "Fortunately, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were defeated by me, and at this time I am not in the mood or have the ability to organize people to come and fight back, if I have three points of courage and order Yuzhang Jiujiang and Huangzhou to surround and kill several people, our army may not be able to stand still, if it can't stand here, I have to retreat to Wuchang, then it will be troublesome, hehehe." ”

Liu Cong laughed here, and saw that Xu Shu had already prepared the pen and ink, so he ordered: "Yuan Zhi starts to write a letter, listen well." So, Liu Cong dictated, and Xu Shu began to write a letter,

The first letter was sent to Han Wei, the Taishou of Changsha, ordering him to lead his troops out of Changsha and make a feint in the direction of Yuzhang, "threatening to cooperate with the main force to attack Yuzhang, step by step, there is no need to rush to attack, as long as the Yuzhang defenders are contained, it is a meritorious service." ”

The second letter was given to Gan Ning, ordering him to seize the time to assemble the water division, prepare to conquer Huangzhou Qichun, and then parade on the surface of the river to contain Jiujiang Chaisang Wu soldiers did not dare to act rashly, "Assemble the water division within ten days, wait for Liu Zhizhong to come, and then march." ”

After the two letters were written, Liu Cong ordered someone to send them out immediately.

After everything was done, Liu Cong sat down and estimated: "Within ten days, Changsha will guard Han Wei too much, and Gan Ning, the head of the Jiangxia Naval Division, will take action.

I went over to lead Gan Ning to recover Huangzhou and Qichun in Jiangbei, and then ordered the sailors to force the Jiujiang Chaisang and Poyang Lake Sailors, and then conquer the Jiujiang Chaisang, well, it seems that I must still live here for ten days and eight days. ”189
