Chapter 198: Crossing the River and Asking for Advice
"Is there a narrow, gentle-flowing river upstream?" Yang Zilu asked Han Jiading.
"Nope! The upper river was very narrow and rapid, and as far as his subordinates knew, the upper reaches were so narrow that even if there was a place as the lord had said, it would not be suitable for a large army to cross the river, and at most a hundred and ten people would cross it at a time. Once discovered by the Sanyi people, the consequences will be unimaginable! Han Jiading shook his head with a wry smile and said, in fact, he didn't want to cross the river. Along the way, their coalition was quickly defeated. Only two small tribes along the way were too far away to participate, and one of the two small tribes surrendered, and the other tribe had no more than 100 troops.
Although Yang Zilu intended to let Han Jiading make meritorious contributions, he sent Han Jiading to personally lead the troops. But is Han Jiading embarrassed to show off this credit? 2,000 people against more than 100 people, it is normal to win, and it is strange to lose.
"Order to build a raft and launch a tentative attack tomorrow morning when the fog is at its heaviest!" Yang Zilu turned around and said without looking back.
"No!" Han Jiading beat his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly, and said respectfully.
…………
Yang Zilu looked at Han Jiading, who was kneeling below, and said expressionlessly: "Failed? ”
"Yes! Your subordinates have been entrusted by the Lord! Han Jiading lowered his head and didn't know what his expression was, and said in a low tone,
Yang Zilu rubbed her brows, quite distressed by this. Han Jiading's attack Yang Zilu did not intervene in any way, Yang Zilu is a human being, not a god, and it is impossible to be proficient in everything. Especially the water war in the cold weapon era that I have never seen, and Han Jiading also lives in the Oujiang River area, so he is more familiar with the surname Shui. Even Han Jiading failed, and Yang Zilu didn't know who else under his command could solve this Oujiang River.
After half a ring, Yang Zilu asked, "What's the problem?" ”
"Your Majesty didn't expect that there were a few warships hidden in the Sanyi Clan! Caught off guard, several rafts were knocked over, but fortunately there were not many enemy ships. In addition, every thirty units on the shore are now either set up on high platforms, or dozens of archers are stationed. The ship had already been suppressed by bows and arrows before it arrived, and it was very difficult to get ashore. Before the raft docked, the Sanyi tribe had already transported soldiers in military vehicles, eighty in military vehicles. Each rider carried four soldiers in addition to the driver. It is difficult to consolidate a piece of ground on the shore that can be used as a foothold. Han Jiading replied respectfully.
"How do you think we can solve these two problems?" Yang Zilu asked the doctors below.
Before anyone else could speak, Han Jiading had already taken the lead in speaking, obviously Han Jiading had already thought of a way before he came. Han Jiading said: "Your Majesty has a way, but it is ......"
"No, just say it!" Yang Zilu said indifferently.
"Yes! His Majesty heard that Wu Yue had a big boat, two or three zhang high, seven or eight zhang long, and a trebuchet was placed on it. The boat is covered with raw cowhide, and water and fire are not invaded! There are also battlements, which are like moving small cities, which can house dozens of soldiers! If there are four or five such boats to cover the raft crossing the river, why fear the Oujiang River? Han Jiading said.
"Lord, the minister thinks that Han Jiading's plan is feasible, but I'm afraid this plan will take a lot of time! How to build a ship will take one or two years, plus experience in shipbuilding. I want to take at least three years! The minister thinks that since this is the case, why not worry about the hearts of the Sanyi tribe, and form an alliance with the other party for the time being! Force the Sanyi clan to be a vassal of my Han Dynasty! After three years, I will find the name of the army! Yu Miao said.
"I think I've come up with a plan to deal with the Sanyi Clan right away!" Yang Zilu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and an excited smile appeared on her face.
“?” The ministers below all risked several big question marks.
"Is the Sanyi tribe on the other side a coalition army, or is it a country's army!" Yang Zilu asked with a smile.
If it weren't for Yang Zilu, I'm afraid that the doctors below would all scold out two words - idiot! But even so, many of the doctors below secretly rolled their eyes.
Hou Xiong saw that he was a little cold, and said, "Naturally! I wonder what the Lord means by this? ”
Then it also means that they can't be of the same mind! It's just a matter of uniting under our pressure. It's like more than a dozen pebbles, being crumpled together with big hands, and when the big hands leave, these pebbles will naturally scatter all over the ground. Isn't that a good way for us to deal with them? In order to reassure them that we are not retreating for no reason, we can send someone to the peace talks! It is believed that the Sanyi tribe will become our vassals in order to obtain peace, and attack some tribute every year. Then they are defenseless! Yang Zilu said with a smile.
The doctors below were stunned, and then excitedly said: "The Lord is wise! ”
Hou Xiong frowned and said: "Lord, Hou Xiong has some concerns about this, and I don't know how to solve it?" ”
"What's the concern?" Yang Zilu looked at Hou Xiong seriously, he knew that Hou Xiong was quite wise, and the opinions he put forward would definitely not be a certain important surname. However, if Hou Xiong did not have the slightest ability, it would be impossible for him to gain a foothold so close to Dong'an City, and divide this most fertile plain to the north of the Sanyi tribe from Dong'an City.
Hou Xiong opened his mouth and said: "Hou Xiong has three concerns about this, first, although the coalition army is made of more than a dozen pebbles, it will spread out after we let go of the big hand, but in the end it has been kneaded. In order to prevent the lord from repenting, they will definitely strengthen their respective ties, so even if our Han army retreats, if we drink the Maou River again, these tribes will not react too slowly. In this way, we can't cross the river with too many soldiers and horses, too many will be discovered by the other party, and wolf smoke will rise. But it's not enough to do it, the 'degree' in it is very elusive, and there is only one chance. ”
Hearing this, Yang Zilu nodded thoughtfully, this is indeed a big problem.
Hou Xiong continued: "Lord, there is a second question! Raft! ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, she was stunned and wondered: "What kind of problem is this?" Do you have to learn what Han Jiading said to build a boat? ”
"Definitely!" Hou Xiong shook his head and said: "If our army withdraws, there will definitely be some smart people from the Sanyi clan on the opposite side who suspect that our Han army is in winter, and they will definitely send a fine party to wade over to investigate the situation." The rest is fine, but such a big action of logging must be easy to spot, so the number of rafts that can be made is definitely not too large, and it is completely impossible to prepare the rafts to cross the river in advance. ”
