Chapter 614: Stubborn Cheng Pu wants to fight for power

readx;

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai returned to Xiakou Port with a wound, while the Qin army also retreated. www.biquge.info Lu Su thought that the two of them had succeeded desperately, and he was very happy in his heart. Unexpectedly, the Qin army's warships did not withdraw far and sailed back. The catapult on the stern began to exert its power again. Only this time, the Qin army seemed to be preparing to fill in Xiakou Port, and all they threw were sacks filled with soil! It's not that the stone bullets have run out, it's that there are no complete buildings in Xiakou Harbor to attack!

"Strategist, we can't do anything about it!" Seeing Lu Su looking at him again, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were full of bitterness, the water ghost team they brought with them had been wiped out, and he himself was not lightly injured! Thinking about the barb at the bottom of the boat, Zhou Tai had palpitations!

"Alas..."Lu Su sighed, how could he not see that the two of them had done their best? But now he has no choice, after all, the power of the instrument is not reversible by manpower, unless he can dig the officials of the Ministry of Industry under Liu Zhang's command to Jiangdong! It's a pity, not to mention that Jiangdong's secret agents can't enter the Ministry of Industry, even if they can get in touch with the people of the Ministry of Industry, Jiangdong can't offer conditions that are more attractive than the treatment of the Ministry of Industry!

You must know that in order to win over craftsmen, Liu Zhang not only made some talented people official, but also knighted. Like Zuo Bo, Ma Jun and others have the titles of county marquis and township marquis, and some old craftsmen, because they have worked under Liu Zhang for most of their lives, have also become the marquis of Guannei. Let's just say that the old blacksmith who cast weapons for everyone back then, when he passed away, Liu Zhang actually let him be buried with the treatment of a county marquis, and his son also mixed up with the family heirloom craftsmanship to the pavilion marquis!

Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of the family, although Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, if he does something against the interests of the family, he will be opposed immediately! In the eyes of the family, Shinong and industrialists, except for scholars, are all inferior people. Only scholars who stand in the court can have titles and official positions! As for the untouchables, even if they have a lot of merit, they can only give some money!

With this attitude, what craftsman is willing to give up his title and go to Jiangdong to be a pariah? If you want to surpass Qin Jun in equipment manufacturing, not to mention that Jiangdong is impossible, even Cao Ying is impossible! However, Cao Ying's control of the imperial court is better than that of Sun Quan, and there are some craftsmen under his command, but they cannot be compared with Liu Zhang's Ministry of Works!

One by one, the dirt bags flew to Xiakou Port, and the Jiangdong soldiers who were smashed were not as badly smashed by stone bullets, but they also took the lives of many people. What's even more terrifying is that the soil bag is cracked in the sky, and a large amount of dirt is scattered on the head and face of the Jiangdong soldiers, who are lucky, but they are uncomfortable, and if they are unlucky, their ears, nose and mouth are full of soil. If you are blinded, it is luck not to rub blind!

Seeing that there were more and more sacks in the camp, and the Qing capital couldn't clear it, coupled with the broken sacks scattering soil in the camp, Jiang Qin wanted to cry without tears and said, "Strategist, think of a way!" If we continue like this, we will all be buried alive! ”

"If I had a way, would I still be stunned here?" Lu Su sighed, he was also covered in dust, looking like a clay man!

"What then? We can't wait here to be buried alive! Jiang Qin gritted his teeth and said, "Strategist, ask the king for help!" ”

"Asking for help?" Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid the king won't send reinforcements!" ”

Jiang Qin was shocked and asked, "Why?" Is the king dissatisfied with us? ”

"Not really!" Lu Su said: "Now that Liu Zhang and Cao Ying are holding each other in Runan, the king is preparing to send troops to help Cao Ying. Otherwise, if Cao Ying is defeated, Jiangdong will not be guaranteed! ”

"But if Xiakou is lost, Jiangdong will be difficult to preserve!" Jiang Qin shook his head and said, "Military Division, although the surname may not be big, let's give it a try!" I don't think the king will lose his territory in order to help Cao Ying! ”

"In that case, I'll give it a try!" Looking at Xiakou Port, which was about to be razed to the ground, Lu Su gritted his teeth, he had to admit that what Jiang Qin said was reasonable. Soon, a rescue letter was sent to Moling!

Outside Xiakou Port, the Qin army was still attacking, and since they did not get Liu Zhang's order, Lu Xun and Gan Ning were not very anxious. The two of them bombed indiscriminately before arriving at the port every day in a thunderbolt car, and they looked like they would not stop filling in the summer mouth. In Xiakou Harbor, Lu Su anxiously waited for reinforcements, and the Jiangdong sergeants were too lazy to sweep away the dirt, just threw the sacks out of the port. After half a month, the soil in the port is already more than a foot thick!

"Strategist, didn't the king say that he would send reinforcements? It's been half a month! Stamped his feet, Jiang Qin's face was full of bitterness, and the soil under his feet was almost ready to be cultivated and cultivated!

"Maybe it's still on the way, it should be coming soon!" Lu Su shrugged his shoulders and said, "You also know that there are not many talents under the command of the king, and he probably sent a few old generals!" Although these veteran generals have made great achievements, they are not young. Like General Huang Gai, I heard that his health has not been very good lately! ”

"Alas..."Jiang Qin sighed, he thought of Sun Ce again. Think about back then, when Sun Ce was alive, Jiangdong heroes gathered under his command, what kind of scene was it? It's a pity that since Sun Cexian's death, Jiangdong generals have been inferior from generation to generation.

"Gongyi, what are you thinking?" Seeing Jiang Qin thoughtful, Lu Su's heart sank, he didn't want a general like Jiang Qin to be suspicious!

"How good would it be if the eldest prince was still there?" Jiang Qin blurted out, but it made Lu Su smile bitterly.

"Gongyi, don't say such things again in the future! When you say that, don't you say that the king is not as good as the prince? If you let the king know, it will be another scrape! Lu Su shook his head, he knew that Sun Quan was not a generous person. Now, Jiangdong has become a thin mountain, and he doesn't want Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to have any more problems. Otherwise, there is really no hope for Jiangdong!

"I see!" Jiang Qin's heart sank, but he missed Sun Ce even more. I remember that when he was only submissive to Sun Ce, he often hooked up with Sun Ce and called him a brother. If there are any differences of opinion, and they cannot convince each other, there will be a fight. Thinking of Sun Ce's goodness, Jiang Qin touched his cheek and smiled from the bottom of his heart!

"Alas..."Lu Su also sighed, why didn't he miss Sun Ce? Except for those scribes who want to keep the monarch at home all day long, which cadre does not want his lord to be wise and martial, to be able to govern the army when he gets on the horse, and to manage the people when he gets off the horse? It's a pity that this kind of monarch is rare in the world, so he can't meet one and die young! At this moment, Lu Su suddenly felt that he was inferior to Zhou Yu, at least much worse than Zhou Yu in terms of vision!

Just when Lu Su and Jiang Qin fell into silence, a small colonel knelt down and said: "Military division, there is a large army from outside the battalion, under the banner of our army!" ”

"Reinforcements are finally here?" Lu Su was overjoyed, and rushed to the door with Gan Ning. I saw an army of tens of thousands standing proudly outside the camp gate, the generals headed by them had white hair, and a big flag behind them had the word Dou Da Cheng written on it!

"I've seen the military advisor!" Jumping off the war horse and bowing his hand, Cheng Pu immediately asked, "How is the battle situation now?" ”

"What's going on!" Lu Su smiled bitterly: "The Qin army did not attack at all, only three or four hundred steps away, and kept bombarding with catapults. It seems that he is ready to fill in the summer mouth! ”

"You're not going to take the initiative?" Cheng Pu's face sank, and his words were a little unkind!

"Ships can't leave the port at all!" Jiang Qin sighed: "Zhou Tai and I took the water ghost team and wanted to scuttle the Qin army's warship, but who would have thought that the bottom of the Qin army's ship was wrapped in a layer of iron sheet and covered with barbs. The ship did not sink, but the water ghost team was completely annihilated, and even Youping was injured! ”

"Oh?" Cheng Pu also knew about Zhou Tai's ability, he frowned and asked, "Who is the enemy general?" ”

"Jinfan thief Gan Ning!" Jiang Qin gritted his teeth, he couldn't bite Gan Ning to pieces, but unfortunately his martial arts were not as good as Gan Ning, and Jiangdong did not have more advanced equipment than the Qin army, so he could only hide in the camp and hold back!

"It turned out to be him!" Cheng Pu was relieved, the prestige of the Jinfan thief was not only spread in Jingzhou, but Jiangdong was also disturbed. Back then, Jiangdong also organized troops to encircle and suppress it, but it was defeated and defeated. If it weren't for Liu Zhang's incorporation of Gan Ning, Jiangdong would still have to be harassed for a while.

"Old general, let's enter the port first!" Lu Su pointed to the slightly dilapidated port, and suddenly blushed a little.

"Can there still be people living here?" Following Lu Su's fingers, Cheng Pu was a little helpless. I saw that the outer wall of the port was bombed and twisted, and the port was in a mess, and he didn't even have a complete tent!

"There's no way, the Qin army keeps throwing stone bombs and dirt bags, and the port is about to be filled! I'm worried that Gan Ning will take advantage of the situation to seize Hong Kong, so I asked the lord for help! Lu Su's face was flushed, he was ashamed that he couldn't drive out the enemy army!

"Pass the order down, after entering the port, immediately clean up the port, and then set up camp!" Old Cheng Pu's face was a little cold, he really couldn't get used to Lu Su's behavior. In his opinion, even if the Qin army could not be contained, the port should not be so dirty. However, soon Qin Jun told him with facts that the dirty mess in the port was not Lu Su's responsibility!

Cheng Pu entered the port with his corporals. The new soldiers were very energetic, and it didn't take long for them to clear the camp of stones, dirt bags, and even dirt from the ground. But just when Cheng Pu ordered to set up camp, the Qin army came again. The dirt bags flying all over the sky made Cheng Pu experience an artificial sandstorm! After two or three hours of casting, the port was back to its pre-cleanup state!

"Too much deception!" Looking at the messy camp, Cheng Pu was mad, he shook his gray head and said, "Pass my order and prepare to leave the port to meet the enemy!" ”

"No!" Lu Su hurriedly stopped Cheng Pu and said: "Xiakou is the gateway to Jiangdong, so you must not lose it." Otherwise, in what face did the general go to see the king? ”

"Lu Zijing, are you underestimating me?" Cheng Pu's eyes widened angrily, and Lu Su was frightened and took three steps back. Historically, Cheng Pu dared to fight with Zhou Yu, just Lu Su, what is it in his eyes? Pushing Lu Su away, Cheng Pu said angrily: "Since the enemy is outside, I will repel him." If there is any accident, the old man will bear it..."
