Chapter 588: The War (1)
"Iron Chain River, good strategy, good strategy!" In Xiangyang, Liu Biao couldn't help but applaud after knowing the strategy of Zhuge Liang and others.
"Iron Chain River?" Listening to Liu Biao's words, the Yi people below couldn't help frowning, "Lord, why does this Zhuge Liang military advisor use this iron chain river?" Yi asked, he hadn't seen the letter in Liu Biao's hand yet.
"This letter came, the new warship of the Yangzhou Navy is too fast, difficult to catch, like a swimming fish swaying on the surface of the Yangtze River, these days, even if the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong Army are not effective, but they were sunk by the Yangzhou Navy and a few ships, so there is this strategy of the iron chain river.
"100,000 troops, 100,000 troops!" Liu Biao became excited again: "With this 100,000 army, coupled with the iron chain, the river is like a huge fishing net heading towards the Yangzhou Navy, no matter how fast the Yangzhou Navy's speed is, and no matter how fast it can run, it will be caught by this huge fishing net for him."
"One hundred thousand troops!" Yi Yuan couldn't help but gasp, this is a hundred thousand troops, the soldiers and horses united by the two sides, these are all elite soldiers and horses, 100,000 troops, and I am afraid that the Yangzhou Navy will not be wiped out.
"But isn't the lord's army of 100,000 afraid of being burned by a fire," Yi Yuan asked, Iron Chain River, this is to tie up the entire naval army to him, although this can form a huge fishing net, but once the fire breaks out, everyone can't escape, and the most afraid is the fire attack.
"Fire? This is an army of 100,000, not 10,000 soldiers and horses, can their Yangzhou naval army get close to set fire? There are hundreds of warships inside, and even if they are placed there to burn them, they need a huge amount of fire. The warship of 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhou can't be loaded at all! That's what Wen Ping said to the lord Liu Biao in the letter. Liu Biao recounted them to the Iraqi nationality.
"Yes!" Yi nodded. Although the 100,000-strong army Iron Chain River is very afraid of fire, you have to burn this fire, this fire needs fire, and it can't be burned without fire.
"Count the battle report, and that's all it takes these days!" Liu Biao looked at the letter in his hand, this was sent a few days ago, and it stands to reason that this battle will start in a day or two.
"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper! Eight hundred miles ahead! "The only one in Jingzhou that is fighting now is Jiangxia.
"Quick. Quick, bring it up and I'll take a look! Liu Biao anxiously shouted to the soldiers below.
The herald was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should give the information in his hand to the lord Liu Biao.
……
"It's coming!" Wen Ping looked at the fleets that had been linked together by iron chains slowly on the other side of his flagship, there were more than 200 warships, one by one on the surface of the Yangtze River, which made people feel tremendous pressure.
The fleets of the Jiangdong Navy were getting closer and closer, and the flagships of the two sides began to hand over to each other.
In the tall stands above the other party's flagship, Wen Ping saw acquaintances, the lupine scarf, the heroic one, one is not Zhou Yu, the governor of the Jiangdong Navy, and the other is Sun Ce, the number one person in the Jiangdong Army.
You must know that a few days ago, the two armies were still fighting to the death. Both sides are eager to peel off each other's flesh and skin, but now they have to greet each other with a smile. This has to be said to be an irony, there are no eternal enemies between the princes, only eternal interests.
Wen Ping was looking at Zhou Yu and Sun Ce opposite, and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce on the other side were also looking at Wen Ping again.
For Wen Ping, although Sun Ce knew that this person was talented and was a general. But it has not been completely put in Sun Ce's eyes, Huang Zu is also a number of generals in Jingzhou, what is the result? No, he was driven out of Jiangxia by their Jiangdong Army from Jiangxia, and now he has been transferred to Changsha to redevelop. Therefore, Sun Ce did not have the same eagerness as Zhuge Liang for Wenpin.
"General Wenpin!" Sun Ce and Zhou Yu over there took the lead and began to salute and clench their fists at Wen Ping in the Jingzhou Water Army.
"Wu Hou, the Metropolitan Governor!" The above exchanges, reaching out and not hitting smiling people, although they have a grudge against the Jiangdong Army, but at least they are still allies now.
'I have long heard that there is a general named Wen Pingzi Zhongye under the command of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and now it seems that it really deserves its reputation! Zhou Yu praised Wen Ping for a meal. Although these soldiers and horses under Wen Ping are not as elite as the elite troops of Sun Ce's descendants in Jiangdong, they are not much different, and the military appearance of those soldiers and horses is still very strong, which makes Zhou Yu and Sun Ce nod their heads.
But it is precisely because of this that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce laughed very happily, if such elite soldiers and horses rely on the city and the water army, then the gap with the Jiangdong Navy will be gone, and the Jiangdong Navy will also suffer heavy losses to eliminate these soldiers and horses, but now it is different, there is no water village and city wall, waiting to clean up the Yangzhou Navy Army, then it is the end of the Jingzhou Soldiers and Horses, the Jingzhou Navy has lost a step ahead of the Jiangdong Navy Army, and now it is on top of more than these two hundred warships, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have taken out their old foundations, and the entire 70,000 Jingzhou naval army has wiped out these 40,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and they all know what the battle situation is when they think about it.
This battle is certain, and the Yangtze River overlord will be divided into winners and losers.
"Where, it's better to be the governor of the capital, young and vigorous, and at the age of a weak crown, he can help Wu Hou create such a foundation!" Wen Ping also said politely to Sun Ce.
"Where's our military advisor!" Looking at the Jiangdong Navy and Wen Ping's subordinates, Huo Jun over there was not satisfied, and shouted at Zhou Yu and Sun Ce over there, he looked around the flagship and didn't see Zhuge Liang's figure.
Wen Ping over there also frowned, it stands to reason that Zhuge Liang now needs to return to the Jingzhou Water Army, because his liaison task has been completed, and now it is just a matter of everyone to eliminate the Yangzhou Water Army together, but what about Zhuge Liangren?
"Zhuge is in the warship on the side, he's thinking about things!" Zhou Yu said to the Jingzhou Water Army.
"Thinking about things?" Huo Jun frowned, "Let our military advisor come back, I want to see the military advisor, otherwise there is no need for you and me to cooperate!" Huo Jun shouted at Zhou Yu and Sun Ce above.
Huo Jun was very worried about Zhuge Liang's safety, even if he knew Zhuge Liang's plan for the next step, he still wanted to see Zhuge Liang, afraid that Zhuge Liang would miss the slightest.
"This general, do you think that our Jiangdong Army has held your military division hostage?" Sun Ce was also stunned, and Huo Jun's tone of voice was very rushed.
"Isn't it?" Huo Jun said bluntly: "How big is the threat of our military advisors to your Jiangdong, can you not see it?" Huo Jun directly picked up the topic, and he almost tore his face.
"Your words have passed, general! General Wenpin, you don't care about your subordinates! Zhou Yu reminded Huo Jun that he still had a literary appointment.
"Huo Jun retreat!" Wen Ping is also helpless, this Huo Jun does not belong to his Wen Ping management, he is Zhuge Liang's henchman, his Wen Ping's words are useless, just when Wen Ping was in trouble, a familiar voice sounded.
"Strategist!" Huo Jun looked at a familiar figure walking down from the Jiangdong Navy warship with a surprised face, wasn't that the military advisor Zhuge Liang he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Huo Jun must not be rude to Zhou Lang and Wu Hou!" Zhuge Liang said to Huo Jun over there. "General Wen!" Zhuge Liang saluted towards Wen Ping, who nodded.
"Metropolitan Governor Wu Hou, let you see the smile!"
"Military Division, now that our Jingzhou Navy and his Jiangdong Navy have converged, there is no need for you to contact, you can come back and sit in the army, we can't live without you." Huo Jun said to Zhuge Liang over there.
"Huh?" Zhou Yu and Sun Ce all sank their faces, and the variable of letting Zhuge Liang get on the warship of the Jingzhou Navy was a bit big, because in this way Zhuge Liang was out of control.
However, Zhuge Liang's words made the faces of the two of them turn into joy again: "Yangzhou puppet king Liu Mang has not been eliminated, how can the cooperation be completed?" Therefore, this army division still needs to stay in the army of Wu Hou and the Grand Duke. ”
Zhuge Liang actually took the initiative to ask to stay? Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were taken aback, but then they were happy, because this meant that Zhuge Liang's heart had been loosened, and he had already seen that Liu Biao in Jingzhou was running out, and their Jiangdong Army was the master, you must know that when Zhuge Liang asked Sun Ce for the quiet of the room, he was thinking about Sun Ce's solicitation.
"The last general knows!" Huo Jun looked at Zhuge Liang's expression and knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only nod.
"Stand down!" Zhuge Liang said to Huo Jun, "General Wen, Metropolitan Governor, Wu Hou, now we should let the fleets of the two sides hook up, time waits for no one, we should hurry." Zhuge Liang said to the commander of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy over there, Wen Ping and Sun Ce both nodded, with these two respective responsible persons nodding, soon iron chains stretched out from the warships of both sides and combined the fleets of the two sides together, so that more than 400 warships reformed a behemoth, and went towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
