Liu Cong thought as he walked, Gan Ning greeted him,

Gan Ning came over and complimented with a smile on his face: "The lord is really a good day, when he arrives at the camp of the sailor, he is still thinking about military affairs here, he should rest, please, lord, enter the big tent to rest, and at the end will prepare a glass of wine for you to catch the wind." ”

Liu Cong's heart was still full of pride, and he heard Gan Ning's compliment, not quite the right taste, so he scolded secretly: "Fart, Gan Ning, I'm thinking about that wild and plump woman, who wants to be a military event, hum, you don't need to drink tonight, you kid get me some." ”

Liu Cong scolded and felt ridiculous here, knowing that Gan Ning couldn't get it: "To find such a woman, you have to cross the ocean, or go west by dry road over the mountains and mountains, it is not something that can be done in a day and a half.

Well, when I go across the ocean, I have to take Gan Ning with me,

This kid is better at boating than I am.

is not only stronger than me, I'm afraid that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, I really couldn't find a few good sailors like Gan Ning. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Cong looked up and saw that the sky was already dark, and felt that he should go back to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss military affairs, so he smiled at Gan Ning and ordered: "Let's go, Xingba, lead the way ahead, and drink." ”

Speaking of the war at the banquet, Liu Cong asked about the garrison of Wu soldiers in Jiujiang, Huangzhou, Ganning,

Gan Ning reported that Huangzhou Taishou Wu Hui was extremely strategic, with 3,000 Wu soldiers under his command, and since Wu Hui took office, Huangzhou has been managed in an orderly manner and is very popular with the military and the people.

Besides, the walls built in Huangzhou City in recent years are high and wide.

If our army wants to attack Huangzhou, don't look at the only 3,000 defenders, once this battle starts, it is really difficult to estimate the outcome of the battle in a short period of time.

As soon as Liu Cong heard this, he put down his wine glass, stared at Gan Ning and asked, "How is the situation of the city defense of Jiujiang in that spring?" Asked like this, wondering in his heart: "Gan Ning has never lost confidence in things, today when he talks about this Huangzhou City, what is the matter, why is Huangzhou so high-minded and guards Wuhui." ”

Liu Cong thought like this, only to see Gan Ning report: "There is nothing special about the situation in Qichun Jiujiang, Qichun Taishou is a military attaché, I heard that there is a hand in kung fu, and there are also 3,000 people under the account, and in recent years, he has also paid great attention to building the city wall, and he has overhauled it several times, and it is also very strong.

However, the last general felt that it was not difficult to conquer Qichun. ”

As for the defense of Jiujiang City, Gan Ning said: "Jiujiang City is the western barrier of Chaisang, and after the loss of Wuchang, the strategic position of Jiujiang is particularly important.

So when Zhou Yu fled back to Chaisang and passed through Jiujiang, he left Zhu Ran to lead his troops to guard Jiujiang.

Zhu Ran's talent is known, among the generals of the Wu army, Zhu Ran can be regarded as a high-ranking general, and he has a hand in land and water warfare, so Zhou Yu left him as a taishou in Jiujiang. ”

When Liu Cong heard this, he smiled contemptuously, then changed his mind and asked, "I heard that Gan Xingba has a good impression of Huangzhou Taishou Wuhui,

At present, our army is going to attack Huangzhou Jianchun Jiujiang and destroy the northern barrier in the west of Chaisang. ”

Liu Cong is so smart, just listening to Gan Ning's attitude, he knows that Gan Ning has hopes for Huangzhou Taishou Wuhui, so he asked,

Gan Ning said: "If you return to the lord's words, Huangzhou Taishou Wuhui is not a layman, and the last general thinks,

Wuhui manages Huangzhou, is conscientious, and thinks about the people wholeheartedly.

He does not shy away from the powerful, he is upright, he never seeks personal gain, he never flatters,

Dedicated to work, not clinging to the elite to drill camp promotion,

He was very disgusted with the struggle for hegemony and killing in the world today, and once privately threatened that if he could make the world peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, he would be willing to break his bones and go to the soup and fire. ”

"Xingba has a deep personal relationship with him."

"Tell the lord that because the last general and Wu Hui are their own masters, and they are enemies of each other, so there has not been a certain side so far,

The reason why the last general has a deep understanding of Wu Hui is because many of the general's subordinates in the early years served in the Huangzhou Yamen army, and Wu Hui's character and reputation are all known from the mouths of the last general's subordinates in the early years. ”

Gan Ning said that he looked at Liu Cong here, paused slightly, and said: "The last general thinks that Wuhui is a rare talent, if Wuhui can be used by my Jingzhou, it will definitely be beneficial to Jingzhou, well, I don't know what the lord's will will be." ”

Liu Cong didn't answer directly after hearing this, and asked about the situation of Qichun Taishou and Jiujiang City Defense, Gan Ning said: "My lord, although Qichun Taishou is a military general, but he will also see the wind and rudder, if our army is overwhelmed, Qichun Taishou will not give up his life to resist, as long as the tactics are used properly, it is not impossible to force Chunqi Taishou to surrender."

Liu Cong listened, but thought silently, and did not answer directly,

Gan Ning said: "The garrison situation in Jiujiang, presumably the lord has long been familiar with it, do you still need to repeat it at the end, lord." ”

Liu Cong laughed and said: "Yes, hehe, you just have to introduce, familiarize yourself with the enemy situation before the battle, the more detailed the better, I am mainly anxious to understand the situation of the Dongwu Navy Division now, although I have mastered some, but I am afraid that it is not known, you will introduce the situation of the Dongwu Navy Division that you know." ”

"Whoa." Gan Ning agreed, and said: "The basic situation of the Dongwu Naval Division, including the number of troops and ships, the configuration of various docks, etc., the lord is also in control, and the last general will report to you on the recent arrangements for the transfer of the Dongwu Naval Division." ”

Liu Cong nodded and listened intently,

Gan Ning said: "Only since the defeat of Wuchang, especially after the Battle of Yuputan, it may be that Sun Quan feels that his strength is not enough to compete with our army, and I don't know if there are other plans, anyway, after Sun Quan returned, he rearranged the strength of the water division.

At present, only a small number of communication ships are left at Jiujiang Wharf and Chaisang Military Port, and most of the remaining warships and warships are concentrated in Poyang Lake.

It is said that there is still a part of the river down the river to arrive at the Jianye Military Port and station,

I don't know what Sun Quan's intentions are. ”

When Liu Cong heard this, his brain suddenly had a feeling, and he thought to himself: "Why did Sun Quan assign the water master to Poyang Lake and Jianye to station, and what are his plans?" Thinking of this, he asked Gan Ning: "The two counties of Chunqi in Huangzhou and Pengzecheng at the mouth of Poyang Lake, are there no traces of the Dongwu sailors?" ”

"Yes, my lord, the two counties of Huangzhou and Chunqi are far away from the riverbank, so there has never been a military port, but there is a wharf, and only some small ships can be berthed, so there have never been large warships docked, Jiujiang Wharf is a heavy port, large ships can be berthed, and there is also Chaisang Wharf, as I said before, only after the defeat of Wu Bing in the Battle of Yuputan, the large and medium-sized ships on the wharf of Jiujiang Chaisang Military Port are concentrated in Poyang Lake, not what Sun Quan and Zhou Yu mean."

Liu Cong listened, and said with a secret smile in his heart: "Sun Quan is finished, after the two big wars, he consciously adjusted his mentality to the downside, from the perspective of adjusting the situation of the water division, Sun Quan began to implement a conservative strategy,

He divided the warship into two parts, and one part was moved down to Jianye, which was to leave a way back for himself.

Part of it is stationed in Poyang Lake, this is to preserve strength, hehehehe, it is also a helpless move. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Cong shouted twice: "Okay, okay, come on, come on, Xingba, Yuanzhi, come, dry this glass of wine." After that, he raised his wine glass, touched Gan Ning Xu Shu, and then drank it all.

Liu Cong put down his wine glass and ordered, "Have another glass." "After that, I clinked glasses with Gan Ning Xu Shu again,

Xu Shu excused himself: "Lord, I really can't drink anymore." ”

Liu Cong was too anxious to drink, and because he was excited after listening to Gan Ning's report, he even forced Xu Shu to drink the glass of wine, and said: "Yuan Zhi, do you look down on people, go to Zhou Yu, you can drink drunk; When I got to Gan Xingba, why didn't I drink happily, what did I mean, I thought Gan Xingba's wine was not good, and if the wine was not good, I had to dry it, and I would change the wine after I did it. ”

Xu Shu had no choice but to do it,

In fact, Liu Cong does not force alcohol, no matter who he is to, he never persuades alcohol to force wine.

However, today I was happy after listening to Gan Ning's report, so I forced Xu Shu to have a glass of wine.

At this time, Liu Cong saw that Xu Shu had drunk it, so he hurriedly took vegetables to persuade him, calmed Xu Shu's emotions, and asked, "It turns out that Yuan Zhi has a good amount of wine, can he still drink it?" ”

Xu Shu hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, begging: "Lord, spare Xu Shu, it's really too much to drink." ”

Liu Cong laughed out loud, laughed and said: "Dinner, rest early after dinner, get up early tomorrow, Xingba and I will go to the river to parade, I want to see what new changes have been made in the Dongwu Naval Division, huh, hahahaha." ”

Early the next morning, a round of red sun rose on the surface of the river, spreading his blood-red figure on the river, dyeing the mask of the river so blood-red.

Gan Ningxing hurriedly got off the three-masted giant ship, came to the shore on a small sampan, and asked Liu Cong to board the boat to patrol the surface of the river.

At this time, Liu Cong had already packed up his ropes, and when he heard Gan Ning come in to invite him, he excitedly stroked his chin, and said with a smile: "Zhu'er, fat man, go, bring a bow and arrow darts, and go out to patrol the water surface of the river, if you meet a mountain wolf and a water thief??????"

When Liu Cong said this, when he saw Gan Ning by his side, he hurriedly changed his words: "If you meet a rare thing like a Yangtze capybara or a thousand-year-old turtle, shoot him and bring him back to cook and drink." ”

Liu Cong walked forward as he spoke, looked out of the gate, and asked Gan Ning: "I heard that there are thousands of catties of big fish in this big river, what kind of fish is it, called Yangtze River mackerel, Xingba, you kid has been rampant in this big river for more than ten years, and said, I have eaten a few Yangtze River mackerel." ”

Gan Ning knew that Liu Cong was telling a joke, so he agreed: "Tell the lord, to be honest, I won't tell others, I have been mixed in this river for more than 20 years, and the finless porpoise and the fish shark really haven't eaten less, hey, the meat of the river shark, how to say it, put it in the mouth, and without chewing, it turned into fish soup, which is extremely delicious, and after eating such fish meat, no matter how good the fish in the world is, I don't want to eat it." ”

"Old turtle, thousand-year-old turtle, how many have you eaten,

"I can't remember, anyway, I want to eat, so I will catch a few of them, and eat them as I fish, how can I remember how many I ate, hehehehe." 196
