The fifth year of Jian'an, April 28, Wankou Port.

Gan Ning sat on the main seat with Lu Su on the left, and Le Jin, Xu Sheng and Chen Lan, who had just returned from injury a few months ago, on the right.

"Zijing, where has Zhou Yu been today?"

Lu Su replied: "Back to the capital, Zhou Gongjin has now led the army to Shanyin, and he will soon come into contact with Shanyue, and he will definitely not be able to return in the short term!" ”

"Very good, Zhou Yu is not here, Sun Ce is dead, and there is no one in Jiangdong who is my Jinfan opponent!" Gan Ning sneered, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Shanyue, the original agreement between the two sides was that I would send troops first, and then they would raise troops to respond, but who would have thought that their patience would be so poor?" But this is better, Shanyue has divided part of the Jiangdong troops for us, and the odds of my Jinfan in this battle are one point higher! ”

Le Jin said: "Shanyue has always been dissatisfied with the rule of the Sun family, this time Sun Ce was assassinated, Jiangdong is unstable, even if there is no me Jinfan to come forward, they are afraid that they will also raise troops to rebel, not to mention that now I Jinfan is threading the needle in it, for them several Shanyue tribes to match together, the army is stronger than before, the other party is full of confidence, thinking that he can defeat Jiangdong with his own strength, where will he take into account the agreement with us?" ”

Xu Sheng said with a smile: "The shaft is not enough and strategic, I just hope they can last a few more days in Zhou Yu's hands!" ”

Xu Sheng said this, and everyone thought that although Shanyue's troops were above Zhou Yu, no one thought that this group of guys with developed limbs and simple minds could defeat Zhou Yu, who was full of wisdom.

Chen Lan was eager to try: "Governor, when will our army send troops?" ”

Gan Ning didn't answer immediately, but looked at Lu Su first: "Zijing, this time my Anhui Shui Division has a great responsibility, this will be the first battle that my Jinfan strategy Jiangdong has started, in order to improve the morale of the whole army, this battle must not only win, but also a big victory!" ”

Lu Su smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Su has a plan in his heart!" ”

"That's it!" Gan Ning nodded, then suddenly got up, and said with a cold expression, "The generals will listen to the order, immediately order the troops and horses, and go out of the village to the west with me and enter Chaisang!" ”

"No!"

――――――――――――

In the fifth year of Jian'an, April 29, Yinshi.

Gan Ning took Lu Su as his military division, Le Jin, Xu Sheng, and Chen Lan as his generals, a total of 20,000 sailing sailors, sailed away from Wankou Port in the night, and marched towards Chaisang.

At dawn, Jinfan's large-scale dispatch of troops immediately caused a large-scale commotion in Yuzhang County.

Chaisang made Chen Wu like a great enemy, and three thousand soldiers waited solemnly at the head of Chaisang City, and a wave of scouts were continuously dispatched, paying close attention to Jinfan's every move.

Pengze, Hukou Daying.

Huang Gai, who was in charge of training sailors in Pengze, received the news, and his expression was obviously extremely dignified, Chaisang is the gateway to Yuzhang, once it falls, most of Yuzhang County will be exposed to Jinfan's soldiers.

Huang Gai asked the strategist Chen Duan: "Zizheng, what should I do now?" ”

Chen Duan thought for a while and said, "General, the importance of Chaisang is self-evident, I can't help it!" ”

Huang Gai frowned and said: "I don't know the reason for this, but I, Peng Ze, only have 6,000 sailors, and Zilie only has 3,000 soldiers, and the total is only 9,000, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Gan Ning's 20,000 army!" ”

Chen Duan said with a smile: "General, Duan Yan must not be saved, but it is not to ask the general to lead the troops to fight to the death with Jinfan, the general only needs to sneak attack behind Jinfan to interfere, so that they can't attack the city with all their might, after all, we only need to hold on until General Boyang arrives in Chaisang, Jinfan has 20,000 sailors, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything!" ”

Sun Ben, Sun Boyang, Sun Quan's cousin, is now Yuzhang Taishou, he led the troops to be stationed in Nanchang, and there were 5,000 troops under his command, Chen Duan's meaning was obvious, that is, drag, as long as it was delayed until Sun Ben arrived, Chaisang's garrison soldiers would expand to 8,000 in an instant, this number was enough to ensure that Chaisang was foolproof.

Huang Gai smiled: "This plan is wonderful! ”

Half an hour later, Huang Gailiu Chen Duan led 1,000 soldiers to guard the Hukou camp, and he led 5,000 soldiers to rescue Chaisang.

―――――――――――――――

At the head of Chaisang City, Chen Wuyao looked at the flags flying on the lake in the distance, and the endless Jinfan warship was in sight, and his mood was extremely heavy.

"Is it finally here?" Chen Wu squinted his eyes and ordered, "The whole army is ready for battle, and when the enemy army attacks the city, I must suppress the opponent's arrogance to me!" ”

"No!!" Hearing this, the three thousand Jiangdong soldiers all subconsciously tightened their weapons, and a large amount of cold sweat inevitably oozed from their palms, no way, there was a full 20,000 Jinfan army on the other side, and they added up to about 3,000 people, such a huge gap, even if they were the side defending the city, they were all nervous.

"Huh? What's going on? But at this juncture, Jinfan seemed to be joking with them, and half an hour passed, Jinfan's ship was still stunned on the lake, and there was no intention of sailing into the waterway and landing on the shore.

"Gan Ning, what exactly do you want to do?" Chen Wu took a deep breath, looked left and right at the Jiangdong soldiers around him who were already nervous and pale, swallowing saliva, and frowned puzzledly, "Don't you want to rely on momentum to crush the psychological defense line of our soldiers?" You're underestimating us, aren't you? Or ......"

Chen Wu, who thought of a certain possibility, suddenly changed his face, maybe the real purpose of Jinfan's troops coming to Chaisang this time was not to attack Chaisang at all, but to solve the Peng Ze Sailor who sent troops to Chaisang's rescue, if this is really the case, then ......

The more Chen Wu thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, but it had come to this point, even if he guessed Jinfan's conspiracy, what was the use? The only thing he can do now is to keep hoping in his heart that Huang Gai will not fall for Jinfan's tricks.

But in fact, can Huang Gai really sit idly by and ignore Chaisang's crisis?

"Governor, Huang Gai has sent troops!"

On the main ship of Jinfan, Gan Ning, who had been rewarded by the scout, smiled slightly, and said to Lu Su on the side calmly: "Zijing is really like a god, then Huang Gai Lao'er probably wouldn't have dreamed that the real goal of my Jinfan this time is not Chaisang, but the Hukou camp where he sits, right?" ”

Turn the tiger away from the mountain!

This is Lu Su's first plan for Jinfan's strategy Yuzhang.

Chai Sang has few soldiers, but the city is strong, Jinfan wants to take it down in one go, and he will inevitably have to pay a great price, which is obviously not what Gan Ning and Lu Su want to see, but Jinfan is far away, and he needs to occupy a certain place in Yuzhang as a bridgehead as soon as possible, otherwise he can't let the soldiers go directly on the river or rush back to Wankou Port to rest, right?

Therefore, Lu Su set this plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, as long as Jinfan's troops surround Chaisang, Huang Gai will inevitably bring troops to help, so that the Hukou camp is empty, Jinfan only needs to send a partial division, and it can be easily captured.

Lu Su said with a smile: "Now that the fish is hooked, it depends on Wen Qian's means!" ”

Gan Ning laughed: "If you talk about attacking the city, it is better to be far away than Wen Qian, we just need to wait for the good news!" (To be continued.) )
