Chapter 078 Wu Bing's sneak attack was successful
Hearing Liu Cong's question, the scout replied, in the melee, two assassins were injured, after being captured and returned to the Yamen, the next day of interrogation, one of them hit the wall and died, the other was very strong, all the punishments were exhausted, that is, he did not confess, threatened to say that he did it himself, was not assigned by anyone, and was later whipped to death, listening to the accent seems to be a character from the Chaisang area,
As for the number of assassins, the scout said that there must be a lot, and if the number of people was small, it would be impossible for dozens of grain depots along the river to catch fire at the same time overnight.
Hearing this, Huang Zu woke up with a "oh", Liu Cong also understood in his heart, looked at Huang Zu, and didn't say much, just thought: "Where is this assassin, it is clearly a purposeful military operation, hehe, this matter has nothing to do with Cao Cao, and it will not be done by Liu Zhang of Xichuan, it is the mastermind of Sun Quan Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu, the purpose is to think about messing up Jingzhou, killing the main officials, destroying the results of Tuntian, and waiting for Jingzhou to fall into chaos and paralysis, and then the land and water armies will advance together and occupy Jingzhou in one fell swoop. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Cong's cheek muscles tightened, and he said fiercely: "Sun Quan, I didn't want to clean you up, I wanted to unite you to deal with Cao Cao, and after exterminating Cao Wei, I will see the will of heaven and your performance, if you show loyalty to the court, I can make you a governor, who knows how fierce your action is, there is no room for unity, I swear here: I will destroy you." ”
Liu Cong thought about it, turned his face and asked the scout: "Who is presiding over the work in the Changsha Yamen now?" ”
The scout replied, "Han Meng, the eldest prince of Taishou, is presiding over the work of the Yamen, and this information is what he sent to you in the name of the Yamen." ”
As soon as Liu Cong heard this, he immediately asked for pen and ink, and wrote a handwritten edict, which appointed Han Meng as the acting Taishou of the Changsha Yamen, responsible for handling all military and political affairs of the Yamen, and after writing it, he paid the edict to the scouts, and he immediately returned to Changsha to restore his life, and then instructed: "Half a month later, the Jingzhou Yamen sent an official to the Changsha Yamen to serve as the deputy head of the Yamen and assist Han Meng in managing Changsha County. ”
Liu Cong instructed here, and said: "Go back and tell the agent Taishou Han Meng, this time the Taishou was stabbed, Changsha caught fire, and the grain depot was burned, all of which were done by the sneak attack of the Eastern Wu army. ”
After the Changsha scout was ordered to leave, Liu Cong turned around and smiled at Huang Zu and Gan Ning, and said: "Hehe, it's really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, hahaha, when I had a meeting in Xiangyang, I said that if 'the wind doesn't stop, the best way is to kill the crazy woman', and now it seems that we are killing the crazy woman." ”
Huang Zu Gan Ning had already understood that Dongwu was carrying out a sneak attack military operation at this time, so he became vigilant together, and Huang Zu said: "Lord, I will immediately return to the Yamen to preside over the work." As he spoke, he got up and was about to put it on, but as soon as he moved, he pulled the wound, and the painful Huang Zu grinned for a while before calming down.
When Liu Cong saw it, he persuaded: "Hehe, Huang Taishou, hasn't Wu Bing been killed yet, even if he has been killed, there is no need to be anxious,
Hehe, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu don't have the ability to turn the sky upside down, so you can recuperate with peace of mind.
The affairs in the yamen are temporarily entrusted to them to deal with.
The most important thing at the moment is to seize the time to clear out the hidden Wu soldiers and sneak attack personnel, so you will issue an order to order the yamen to seize the time to search for the hidden Wu soldiers, and at the same time strengthen the public security work in important places.
Well, as for big things, it is estimated that they will not happen within half a month,
As long as the men and horses on land intercept the two lines of Wu soldiers, on the river, our army's naval division has already made preparations, and it will be difficult for Wu soldiers to succeed for a while, whether it is a naval division or an army. ”
When Huang Zu heard this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to convey the order,
Liu Cong said to Huang Zu: "Leave Gan Xingba here to assist you in the battle with the Eastern Wu Naval Division, for the time being, there is no war between the land and water armies here, I will go back, and camp at the simple wharf at the mouth ??????of the Xiangjiang River, and prepare to send troops to defeat the Sun Quan and Zhou Yu groups of the Eastern Wu Dynasty."
Huang Zu was very surprised when he heard this, and asked Liu Cong with two eyes: "Lord, Sun Quan's father and son have been operating in Jiangnan for more than ten years, and they have been deeply rooted, and I am afraid it will not be easy to think about defeating him for a while." ”
Liu Cong sneered: "I said that cleaning up Sun Quan and Zhou Yu is just a matter of words, but I don't want to let them die immediately,
You're right, only part of it is right, that is, they have been deeply rooted in the south of the Yangtze River, and the wrong place is that you said that it is not easy to defeat him, hehe, since you say so, I will make it clear to you: we Jingzhou want to develop the economy and save strength within these four years, which requires a stable surrounding environment, without a stable surrounding environment, economic development, and savings strength is just an empty word,
Well, the reason why I immediately led my troops across the Han River to regain the lost territory after adjusting the official structure is because Cao Renmanchu led the troops to be stationed in Fancheng, like a steel knife hanging over our heads, so that we in Jingzhou could not develop the economy wholeheartedly.
Now, Soochow sees that the development momentum of our Jingzhou is very good, and he is in a hurry, and he has also come to sabotage, and he wants to block the development of our Jingzhou, which we can't bear.
Didn't I say earlier that since the wind is not willing to stop, we must try to eliminate the source of the wind and kill the wind woman.
Hahaha, now Sun Quan is the son of the Feng woman, but he still has a certain use value, I don't kill him, I just force him to move the capital east, so as to alleviate the pressure on the east of our Jingzhou, so as to facilitate the development of our Jingzhou. ”
"Lord, where do you plan to let Soochow move the capital east?"
Liu Cong listened, got up and looked at the map on the wall and said: "That's it, Jianye, but on the east side of Poyang Lake, they are still allowed to patrol the river, with the Ganjiang River as the boundary, and the east of the Ganjiang River still belongs to their jurisdiction." ”
Huang Zu listened, stared at Liu Cong with a pair of big eyes, and thought: "You Liu Cong is too arrogant, you think Sun Quan Zhou Yu is your biological son, he will listen to you what you tell him to do, he still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, although the water division is not as large as our army, but he is also the second water division in the world at present, on the ground of these six counties and more than 100,000 horses, you Liu Cong said a word to let him move the capital, they will move, it will not be so easy." ”
Liu Cong seemed to see Huang Zu's thoughts, so he sneered a few times and said: "Huang Taishou hurry up and recuperate from his injuries and prepare to participate in the battle, okay, things here are arranged like this for the time being, I will temporarily go to live at the simple dock at the mouth of the Xiangjiang River, and when the time is ripe, I will immediately start a war against Soochow." ”
It turned out that the first sneak attack team sent by Lu Meng was led by Wang Yihu, and at this time, after Wang Yihu assassinated Jiangxia Taishou, he was hiding outside Jiangxia City waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Liu Cong, and then set fire to Jiangxia City and the granaries around Jiangxia.
It was the second sneak attack team sent by Lu Meng who set fire to kill Taishou Han Xuan in Changsha City, and the leader of this sneak attack team was Fu Da, Fu Da's task had been completed, and at this time he was ordering his team members to change into civilian clothes and disperse in batches to retreat to Chaisang City.
The third sneak attack team is led by Zhou Zhi, with 200 personnel, and the task is relatively heavy, and now it has come to a cave in the south of the simple dock at the mouth of the Xiangjiang River, waiting for the opportunity to occupy this simple dock.
The simple wharf established by the Jingzhou Navy Division at the mouth of the Xiangjiang River was garrisoned here by a Tun general named Zhao Zhong with a hundred soldiers.
This Zhao Zhong was originally familiar with Zhou Zhi, they were all Jinfan thieves on the river, what kind of murder and overselling to make a living, and then the two broke away from Gan Ning, parted ways and went their separate ways, Zhou Zhi defected to Lu Meng, Zhao Zhong defected to Jingzhou Sailors, mixed for a few years, and became the head of this simple dock with troops,
This Zhou Zhi already knew that this simple wharf was garrisoned here by Zhao Zhong with his troops, and he also knew that this simple wharf was a cargo transfer station set up by the Jingzhou Navy Division at the mouth of the Xiangjiang River.
In order to complete the task assigned to him by Lu Meng, this Zhou Zhi now took 200 men and horses to hide in a cave more than ten miles south of the wharf, waiting for the time to come, he came over and deceived the gate of the wharf, killed all the 100 Jingzhou soldiers on the wharf, threw their bodies into the river, and then forced Zhao Zhong to surrender.
In this way, Zhou Zhi himself took a hundred team members to stay on this dock, and then sent a deputy to lead the remaining 100 team members, Xiaosu night trip, to Xiangyang,
When they were leaving, Zhou Zhi ordered the two deputies to say: "You two soldiers divide into two roads, advance to Xiangyang at the same time, arrive at the Chengdong Post Station, stay and hide all the way, and secretly enter Xiangyang City on the other road, wait for the task to be completed in Xiangyang City, after withdrawing, then converge together, occupy the refugee management center, kill all the managers, kill people and set fire along the way, kill as many refugees who raise silkworms as they can, burn their houses as much as they can, complete the task all the way down, gather at this wharf, and then try to withdraw to the Chaisan camp." ”
After Zhou Zhi finished giving the order, he ordered this sneak attack team of 100 people to land at night and march in the direction of Xiangyang.
Zhou Zhi did not have the remaining hundred people idle here, ordered them to sleep in shifts during the day, and at night along the north bank of the Yangtze River, looking for Jingzhou Bingtuntian warehouse to commit murder, a few days later, more than a dozen warehouses have been burned, killing many Jingzhou soldiers and horses,
There are no large number of Jingzhou soldiers stationed here, which makes Zhou Zhi a complete achievement.
Besides, after Zhou Zhi ordered his two deputies to sneak into Xiangyang City, he didn't succeed for two consecutive nights, neither killing the Yamen officials nor destroying the Yamen, all because Liu Bei strengthened security patrols here, which didn't let Lu Meng's sneak attack team succeed.
The deputy of this sneak attack team is also a bloody man, and he was ordered to assassinate an important official of the Jingzhou Yamen, who knew that he came down for two days and two nights, and he did nothing.
So he was annoyed and angry, took advantage of the night, organized fifty people, pretended to be a patrol, came to kill the soldiers guarding the east gate of Xiangyang, opened the city gate, and then returned to the city, in the east gate, the nearby residential houses, light a few fires, take advantage of the panic, escape from the city gate, find another group of fifty people sneak attack team, converge together, open a killing ring, along the south bank of the Xiangjiang River, first bloody the east of the city ferry wharf station, and then all the way south, along the way to kill people and set fires, two days and two nights, until the killing and arson to the south bank of the Xiangjiang River estuary, taking advantage of the night, Flee to the improvised dock and hide and wait for the opportunity to retreat to Chaisang, 078
