Chapter 559: Fishing on the banks of the Miluo River

Yuan Shuqin led 10,000 sailors up the river, originally thinking that he could contain some of Liu Xiu's troops, give the defenders of Xiling City some spiritual support, and let them be many days, but he never thought that his warship had not yet contacted the Yizhou sailors who were responsible for interception, and Le rushed over with a group of remnants of the defeated generals.

After listening to Le's narration, Yuan Shuteng jumped up, his eyes widened: "What? An hour? ”

Le nodded again and again with a sad face, he fled in such a hurry that he didn't understand how Simon was lost.

"Then why didn't you die in battle?" Yuan Shu scolded, and spit on Xingzi with a squirting face: "Li Feng is dead, how can you still have a face alive?" ”

Le did not dare to speak, and repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy. Yan Xiang looked at it from behind and sighed: "General, now is not the time to be angry, let's ask about the specific process." How could Liu Xiu's offensive be so fierce? ”

Yuan Shu gave Yan Xiang face and took back the half-drawn knife. Yan Xiang inquired in detail about the situation of the battle, and finally muttered for a long time: "Liu Xiu's ordnance has made great progress, we must pay attention." ”

Yuan Shu also reacted at this time: "What kind of crossbow is this, how can it be so fierce?" ”

Yan Xiang frowned, and said after a long time: "Every time Liu Xiu goes to a state, he must first set up a school, and there must be engineering and military science in the school. It's just that in this way, it is not easy to hold Changsha. ”

Yuan Shu sat down, his fists clenched and released, released and clenched, and was frustrated. "Why did he attack me first? How could I be so unlucky. ”

Yan Xiang couldn't cry or laugh a little, and said in his heart, do you still want him to kill Yuan Shao for you first? If Yuan Shao is defeated, you still can't escape the fate of defeat, and Liu Xiu won't let you go because of his friendship with you.

Yan Xiang let Le go down to rest first. He thought for a long time, and then said to Yuan Shu: "The situation is even more serious than we imagined, General, we should immediately report the news to Yuan Gong, and at the same time let Ji Ling and them be careful." Liu Xiu's siege ability has increased, and our original plan is not safe enough. ”

Yuan Shu nodded helplessly, this war was a defeat, and it was not a good sign that he was defeated so quickly. He thought for a moment: "So what do we do next?" Do you still want to defend Changsha? ”

"Changsha is naturally to be guarded. It's just that we have to make more arduous preparations. Yan Xiang said to Yuan Shu: "General, we must transfer all the warships of Yuzhang Shipyard out. ”

"Why?" Yuan Shu didn't know what he meant.

Yan Xiang wanted to speak and stopped. He felt that Yuan Shu's sailor was definitely not the opponent of Liu Xiu's Yizhou sailor, and there was no point in retaining his strength at this time. After Liu Xiu captured Xiling, the biggest possibility was to take advantage of the situation to attack Yuzhang and use the advantage of the sailor to cut off Sun Jian's retreat in one fell swoop. Without Yuzhang, Sun Jian would really be a lone army, and the Yangtze River would be an insurmountable moat for Yuan Shu. Not to mention competing with Liu Xiu on the river, it is difficult to fight across the river.

"Transfer the warship to Chaohu, just in case."

"Give up Yuzhang?" Yuan Shu was taken aback.

"It's not about giving up Yuzhang, it's about doing a good job." Yan Xiang explained simply, "No matter what the final result of the Battle of Changsha is. At least we can't win quickly. If there is no boat, how can we cross the river in the future, and how can we support and respond to Sun Jian? ”

Yuan Shu also heard the ominous taste, and although he was a little reluctant, he finally nodded. Liu Xiu took Xiling City in less than an hour, which shocked him too strongly. For the next battle of Changsha, his confidence is rapidly eroding.

Yan Xiang then suggested that Yuan Shu shrink his forces, and at the same time shift his focus to Changsha and Yuzhang. It is best to send another person to take Danyang and Wu Jun, arrange a retreat, and prepare for a war of attrition with Liu Xiu.

Yuan Shu pondered for a long time, not commenting. To fetch Danyang and Wu Jun, the most suitable person for him is Sun Jian, but Sun Jian is gone. Who will guard Changsha? Yuan Shu was very annoyed, Danyang Taishou Zhou Ang was the former official of the Yuan family. When he was in Jiujiang, he refused to accept Yuan Shu's orders, and later Yuan Kui came forward in person, Zhou Ang finally did not tear his face with him, resigned from Jiujiang Taishou, and transferred to Danyang. Originally, I thought that across the river, there would be no more friction between everyone, but now that Liu Xiu came, he was forced to retreat, and he had to deal with Zhou Ang again, which was really not a pleasant thing.

…… Zhang Fei immediately went to the south bank of the Miluo River (i.e., the Miluo River), hid among the lush reeds, held clairvoyance, and watched the meandering Yuan Jun's heart bloom. He followed Yan Pu's advice, did not walk Jiangnan, which was easier to walk, but passed through Yunmengze, and then sent someone to notify Gan Ning and asked Gan Ning to take him over the river, and then quietly walked to the vicinity of Luo County. Although it was a little slower, his whereabouts were well hidden, and no news was leaked. Judging from the formation of Yuan Jun in the distance, Yuan Jun should not have realized that there was a hungry tiger in front of them that had opened its bloody mouth and was still rushing to Changsha according to the predetermined plan.

"Zijia, this time you are going to win, you are the first to win." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

"I'm just doing my job, and of course the credit belongs to the general and the soldiers."

Zhang Fei smiled, at this time he was not in the mood to guess whether Yan Pu was sincere or falsely polite, anyway, in the past few days, he was very satisfied with Yan Pu, and felt that the military strategy that Mr. had arranged for him was good, both smart and responsible, not like some military plots that were self-righteous and annoying.

My husband still takes care of me. Zhang Fei wiped his brows proudly, and his hand habitually stretched out to his waist, but as soon as he touched the bronze wine jug, he stopped again. According to Liu Xiu's instructions, once he goes to war, he can't drink alcohol, so what is in it is real water. Jingzhou has a lot of water, you can find a clean water source at any time, you don't need to use light wine to replace water, this pot can't even smell a little wine now, so that Zhang Fei's nose itches when he smells the alcohol used to wash wounds when he arrives at the baggage camp.

"Look at it like this, it should be half a day before it arrives." Yan Pu looked at the sky, "General, there is no moon tonight, so it is not appropriate to attack at night, so let's wait for tomorrow." Tomorrow we will fight continuously, so let the soldiers rest a little better. ”

Zhang Fei looked at Yuan Jun in the distance with some reluctance, they were still like a black line in the sky, and they looked as if they were not moving. If it's according to his nature. He is now leading the cavalry to meet him, and he doesn't need to attack half-way at all, and he doesn't want to give half of the credit to Gan Ning. made him anxious, made him greedy, and thought of Gan Ning's envious look when he saw him. Zhang Fei wanted to laugh.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, he still accepted Yan Pu's suggestion. Turning the horse's head, he boarded the ship with a few guards and hid deep in the reeds.

Gan Ning was squatting on the bow of the boat drinking. Seeing Zhang Fei's happy face, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, are you here?" ”

"I'm here, but it's still more than a dozen miles away, and it looks like I won't be able to get there today."

"Shall we kill it?" Gan Ning blinked and suggested.

"Nope." Zhang Fei said very calmly: "We will wait here, and tomorrow when they cross the Miluo water, they will attack halfway." You take the sailors and cut them off at the waist. I led the cavalry to break through the formation and pursue. ”

"Really?" Gan Ning couldn't believe his ears. Will Zhang Fei be so generous and give him this credit? Zhang Fei brought Liu Xiu's most elite five thousand personal guard horses, these people have been accumulated since Liu Xiu's debut, all of them have profound riding skills and strong martial arts. The equipment is also first-class, Zhang Xun only has an army of 10,000, and Zhang Fei's strength can easily defeat him. The reason why he didn't force Zhang Fei to take him to fight with him, and was willing to be a transportation captain, was that he knew that with Zhang Fei's strength, he could easily do it without his help, so he insisted on getting up. That's a bit of a rush.

If someone else is changed, Gan Ning may not care, but he grabs credit with Liu Xiu's disciples. He wasn't that bold yet.

"Of course, this is the opinion of the Zi family, and I think it is very reasonable." Zhang Fei glanced at Yan Pu, and the corners of his eyes twitched painfully.

When Gan Ning heard the joy, he jumped up and hugged Yan Pu. slapped him twice on the back: "Good countryman, I knew you wouldn't look at me so uncomfortable and not help." ”

Yan Pu pushed him away in embarrassment. shook his head again and again: "You are wrong, this is not my suggestion, it is Zhang Dudu's idea, he wants to completely annihilate the 10,000 Yuan army and give Yuan Shu a dismount." ”

Gan Ning grinned: "That's not easy, I'll cut him in two, you hit one end, and then hit that end, you have to cross the water." ”

"So you'd better think of a way to build a pontoon bridge over the Miluo water, so that I can pass through the Miluo water as quickly as possible." Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and said, while looking at the wine jug in Gan Ning's hand with hatred: "Otherwise, you don't want me to share the credit with you." ”

Gan Ning chuckled: "Don't worry, I will do it." Keep you unblocked. Then he shook the wine jug again, and deliberately teased Zhang Fei: "Do you want to celebrate first?" ”

"Come less." Zhang Fei got up and got into the cabin, turned around again, and said to Gan Ning with a gloomy face: "You go to the downwind outlet to drink, don't let Lao Tzu smell the wine." ”

Gan Ning laughed, put away the wine jug, and said happily: "Good brother, share weal and woe." You Zhang Yide can't drink because of the general's military order, and I will accompany you. If I don't cut off Zhang Xun's head, I won't take a sip of wine. ”

Zhang Fei's face looked better, swallowed his saliva, and squeezed out a smile.

…… Ten miles away, Zhang Xun ordered to stop the advance and set up camp. Feng Fang, the overseer, asked in surprise: "It's still early, why don't you rush again." ”

Zhang Xun glanced at Feng Fang and smiled: "Feng Sima, you may not know Gan Ning very well. ”

"Gan Ning?" Feng Fang really didn't know: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"He's in Luo County." Zhang Xun pointed at the Miluo Yuan in front of him with a horsewhip, "He is the governor of the Yizhou Naval Division, and he is a warlike man, the news that our army came to support Sun Jian reached his ears, how could he not intercept it on the Miluo water?" We walked for a day, and then fought with him, and our strength was exhausted, so it was better to rest for a day and fight again tomorrow. In addition, this place is not far from Changsha, and I would like to send someone to send a letter to Sun Jian first, so that he can answer me. ”

"Let Sun Jian answer? So what if I was ambushed by Gan Ning? ”

Zhang Xun frowned, this prison army is really troublesome, if it weren't for the fact that he had a beautiful daughter who was about to be married as a concubine by Yuan Shu, he wouldn't bother to perfunctory him. He patiently explained that Liu Xiu's main force was now in Xiling, and Gan Ning only had three thousand sailors in his hands, even if he was ambushed, would he still be able to defeat Sun Jian? Sun Jian is an army of 10,000, as long as Liu Xiu himself does not lead the army to come, no one can restrain him at the moment, what danger is there? If it weren't for Miluo Shui Heng in front, and Gan Ning happened to be a water master, he didn't need Sun Jian to answer at all, and he would be able to run rampant with these 10,000 foot soldiers, and Gan Ning would have no choice but to take him.
