Chapter 571 Dispatch troops to Lujiang
"Haha, that Jiangdong veteran is no longer good!" In the Xiakou camp in Jiangxia, one after another, the warships are slowly entering the naval camp in an orderly manner towards the Xiakou camp, and the sailors and generals have come down from the warships one after another, and there are obviously some blood stains on the warships, and there are broken places, which are back after a battle.
Jiangxia has now completely become the battlefield of the Jiangdong Navy and the Jiangxia soldiers, the two armies come and go, no one is convinced, but no one can take advantage, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, the two people who seem to be opponents by nature, have used all kinds of tactics and tactics in water warfare, this is not another day of fighting.
The two generals of the army walked down from the warship with a smile, and when you walk in, you will find that these two people are not Huo Jun and Li Yan under the command of Zhuge Liang! Huo Junzi Zhong Miao, a native of Zhijiang in Nanjun, and his brother Huo Du once gathered hundreds of people in his hometown to help Liu Biao fight the world. After Huo Du died, Liu Biao inherited his subordinates with Huo Jun. gave Huo Jun the official position of captain of the county town gate.
Li Yanzi is a native of Nanyang County, and when he was young, he was a full-time official in the county and was well-known for his talent. When Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao heard about it, he only let him serve in the counties in the county. At best, a county lieutenant.
Such two people who may not have been in contact with each other for a long time, and may even be obscure all their lives, are now standing on the stage of history, and the reason is that Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of the Jiangxia Army.
After Zhuge Liang entered the WTO, he was rewarded by Liu Biao to become the military advisor of the Jiangxia army, this Liu Biao wanted to buy horse bones, originally planned to be seen by Lumen Academy, after all, Zhuge Liang was the apprentice of Mr. Sima Wei, the great Confucian Shuijing of Lumen Academy. But who knew that this Zhuge Liang's ability was more powerful than what he had rumored. The Jiangxia Navy changed its decline in the hands of Zhuge Liang. Instead, they began to attack one after another, and Huo Jun and Li Yan were the first team members after Zhuge Liang came to Jiangxia.
The two of them were heard by Zhuge Liang, and they were seen by Zhuge Liang when he traveled far away, these two people really did not disappoint Zhuge Liang, and now they are both important positions in the army, Li Yan and Huo Jun are now ten thousand generals, Li Yan is even in charge of Zhuge Liang's personal guards in his hands, it can be said that the official positions of the two are almost comparable to Taishou.
This is also the reason why the two are very grateful to Zhuge Liang and are willing to serve under Zhuge Liang. Because only Zhuge Liang will use and dare to use them.
Today, the two were ordered to go to Sanjiangkou to fight, and they received a lot of goods, sank and injured several enemy ships, and even took Han Dang, a veteran, by Li Yan with a bed crossbow and almost died on the battleship with an arrow, Jiangdong's strength lies in his veteran, but now the veteran is also too old, Zhuge Liang just seized this weakness and defeated.
The veteran generals do not admit defeat, they are all extremely arrogant, and the young generals in the veteran army naturally do not have the opportunity to command the troops alone. Zhuge Liang took advantage of the arrogance of the veteran generals of the Jiangdong Army to win a lot of battles, and now the Jiangdong Army in Sanjiangkou is already in a semi-abandoned state.
"Two generals. The military advisor asked you to come back and go to the military advisor's tent! Just as the two were discussing where to spend the night, the herald ran over to them and said.
"The military advisor is looking for us?" Li Yan glanced at Huo Jun, generally speaking, Zhuge Liang might as well look for them for no reason, they all looked for Zhuge Liang to have a plan, once Zhuge Liang looked for them, naturally something important happened.
The two glanced at each other, and they didn't even bother to wipe the blood stains on their bodies, and went directly to the military advisor's tent.
"Li Yan, Huo Jun, the two generals have arrived!" The two walked into the big tent, and their own guards informed Zhuge Liang's military division.
Zhuge Liang was looking at Mu Jian there, Zhuge Junshi is studious, he never forgets his book, and he can't release the scroll It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang's prestige can be achieved.
"The last general, Li Yan, meet the military advisor!"
"The last general, Huo Jun, meet the military advisor!" The two of them clasped their fists at Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on the main seat, and said.
"It's coming!" Zhuge Liang didn't put down the books, but asked the two, "How is the battle situation today!" ”
"Returning to the military division, today's battle situation, our army defeated Jiangdong Han Dang, sank several enemy ships, injured countless people, and the veteran Han Dang was broken by Li Yan, and his death is unknown." Huo Jun reported to Zhuge Liang above on the side.
"What about the losses of our army?" Zhuge Liang asked again.
"Our army sank one ship, wounded three, and killed 100 people!" Li Yan replied.
"Okay, good, it's another new victory, I should take credit for you." Zhuge Liang put down the wooden tablet in his hand, but his face was expressionless.
However, Huo Jun and Li Yan below were overjoyed in their hearts, and immediately knelt down and said, "They are all well guided by military advisors, and if there is such a victory, we dare not be greedy for merit"
"You don't have to be humble in front of me." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said to the two people below, "If it goes on like this, this Jiangxia can be recaptured and returned to the land of Jingzhou, but it's a pity, it's a pity!" Zhuge Liang sighed and said helplessly.
"Strategist? What's wrong? Li Yanxin below was more detailed, and saw Zhuge Liang's helplessness and asked.
"Look, this is a letter from Jingzhou!" Zhuge Liang threw an envelope on the table to the two of them.
The two of them broke him apart and gathered together to watch.
"This, this, how can this be?" Li Yan was the first to shout, and Huo Jun on the side didn't understand, "Military Master, could this be a mistake?" ”
"Wrong? Hehe, take a good look at the print on this, could this be wrong? Zhuge Liang said to the two, and the two saw that the last big seal was indeed the seal of Jingzhou Prefecture, which showed that this was a real order.
"But, but, why would the state pastor do this?" Huo Jun didn't understand, because what was written on the letter in their hands was to connect with the Jiangdong army to encircle and suppress the puppet king Yangzhou Naval Army, and after the matter was completed, they withdrew from Jiangxia and returned to Jingzhou.
This Jiangdong and Jingzhou are feuds, isn't this an ally with Yangzhou?
Zhuge Liang shook his head and did not speak.
"Military division, attack the Yangzhou army? Withdraw from Jiangxia? Even if we were willing, the soldiers under this command would not be willing! Li Yan was a little anxious, not to mention that he was basically fighting with the Jiangdong Army these days, and countless soldiers died in the hands of the Jiangdong Army. The officers and men of both armies have already formed a grudge. Let's just talk about those Jiangxia soldiers and horses. Among the 70,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Jiangxia camp, there are three kinds of the most effective combat, the first is the soldiers and horses brought by the main general Wen Ping, these soldiers and horses are all descendants of Jingzhou, and they are also the descendants of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and the second is Zhuge Liang's personal guards in the hands of Li Yan, which was brought by Zhuge Liang when he came to Jiangxia, and the other is the Jiangxia army, some of these Jiangxia troops are the Jiangxia soldiers and horses left when Huang Zu left, and they are recruited from the local people in Jiangxia.
Even the most combat-effective are these Jiangxia troops. Because this is their hometown, watching Jiangxia being invaded by other places is naturally heartbreaking, and the wars over the years have made the people of Jiangxia hate the Jiangdong Army to the core.
If this is combined with Jiang Dongjun, and Jiangxia is withdrawn, how can Huo Jun and Li Yan explain to those Jiangxia soldiers and horses under their command.
"Confession? Aren't soldiers just obeying orders! Zhuge Liang said to Li Yan and Huo Jun, "Besides, these things are not our turn to think about, so naturally some people will be worried." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, a herald came over and told General Zhuge Liang that he was invited.
"Let's go! Go to the General's tent! Zhuge Liang got up and was about to walk towards Wen Ping's tent. But he was stopped by Li Yan.
Li Yan approached Zhuge Liang and asked, "Military Division, this attack on Yangzhou?" Do you want? Li Yan's words are analogue and quantitative. Before this, there was also a trend that Jingzhou wanted to attack Yangzhou, that was Pang Tong stirring up the situation, and Zhuge Liang almost rebelled at that time, but now Zhuge Liang is not moving, why is this?
"What do you want? Obey the military order, you can, attack Yangzhou, attack Yangzhou. We are now the Jingzhou Navy Army, and we must obey the orders of the Jingzhou Mu. Zhuge Liang also gave an analogue answer, which made Li Yan a little confused, if you said that you were loyal to Liu Biao, why didn't you call the lord but the state pastor?
The group came to Wenpin's camp, and Wenpin's military tent was not far from Zhuge Liang's military tent, and even because Xiakou was there, Wenpin sometimes lived in Xiakou City.
"Military advisor, General Li Yan. General Huo Jun has arrived! "Someone reported the clerk inside.
"Hurry up, please!" Wen Ping sat on the main seat, sorted out the military appearance, and said to his subordinates.
"Yes!" Soon Zhuge Liang and Li Yan and Huo Jun were invited up. Zhuge Liang and others saw that there were already many generals in this military tent. It seems to be waiting for them.
"General!" Under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, Huo Jun and Li Yan both saluted towards Wen Ping.
"No courtesy. Excuse me, come and sit! "Wen Ping is very appreciative of Zhuge Liang now, because with Zhuge Liang here, the battle situation in Jiangxia is getting better and better day by day, and he Wen Ping is naturally happy, and because he misunderstood Zhuge Liang last time, Wen Ping is very guilty.
"Thank you, General." Zhuge Liang and the others thanked him and sat down.
"Don't say much politely, the military advisor must have read the secret order sent from Jingzhou!" Wen Ping said straight to the point.
"I've read it." Zhuge Liang nodded and said.
"What does the advisor think?" Wen Ping asked.
"Not good!" Zhuge Liang directly made his attitude clear, and Wen Ping over there also nodded, what kind of order is this, the battle situation in Jiangxia is getting better and better day by day, and the enemy alliance with the Jiangdong Army is not counted, and the entire Jiangxia will be handed over to others, which makes him Wen Ping still do this.
"Ben Jiang feels the same way, but do you and I ask him to correct it?" Wen Ping is now thinking about going to the book with Zhuge Liang and asking Liu Biao not to do this.
"Why do you want to change it?" Zhuge Liang asked? "For the generals, they should naturally solve problems for the state pastor and listen to his orders." Zhuge Liang said. "Besides, doesn't General Wenpin know why this state pastor wants to attack Yangzhou?" Zhuge Liang said to Wen Ping.
"Hey!" Wen Ping sighed, how could he not know, their Wen family is also a scholar family, he will not know such a big movement in Xiangyang, the lord Liu Biao has a green head on his head, if he does not attack Yangzhou, there will be ghosts.
"But we can fight this Yangzhou alone, why do we want to bring this Jiangdong Army!" Wen Ping has an opinion, this is angry words, because he also knows that now Sanjiangkou and Wuchang Huangzhou are in the hands of the Jiangdong Army, if you don't defeat the Jiangdong Army, you can't get by, if you pass without permission. It's been so long to say defeat the Yangzhou army. I'm afraid I'm going to be alone. In the end, it can only be annihilated.
"Huh!" Zhuge Liang smiled and did not express an opinion.
"Strategist, even if we obey the order, how can those Jiangxia soldiers and horses be mobilized?" These days, these Jiangxia soldiers and horses are very effective, because after learning about the alliance between Yangzhou and Jingzhou. I was thinking that the Yangzhou Navy and the Jingzhou Navy would attack the Jiangdong Navy together, so that Jiangxia could restore peace as soon as possible, but now it was the other way around. He actually wanted to join forces with the enemy of the Jiangdong Army to attack the Yangzhou Army? I also want to lose Jiang Xia.
If Wenpin goes out like this and announces it to those soldiers now, then Wenpin believes that if he doesn't give these soldiers an explanation, he may be torn apart by these soldiers.
"Since it won't take that long, don't use it!" Zhuge Liang continued to speak.
"Not really?" Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, "What does this mean?" ”
"General, how much combat power does this Yangzhou Navy have?" Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically.
Wen Ping shook his head, their Jingzhou Navy has never fought with the Yangzhou Army, how can they know "I don't know this!" Wen Ping thought about it, they didn't fight with the Yangzhou Army, but they fought with the Jiangdong Army, the Jiangdong Army and the Yangzhou Army fought "The Yangzhou Army has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses." Combat effectiveness, it's really hard to say. ”
"More than 10,000?" Zhuge Liang smiled: "General." Your information is a little outdated! Zhuge Liang walked to the map in the military tent, "This Yangzhou army now has more than 8,000 people!" ”
"More than eight thousand?" Wen Ping was stunned for a moment: "Where did the two thousand go?" "In the Yangtze River, Yangzhou has only the largest Yingkou such as the Lujiang River. Where did the remaining two thousand go?
"General, do you know Guangling?" Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically.
"Xuzhou Guangling?" Wen Ping was stunned for a moment and asked, Wen Ping has been to Xuzhou, and he still knows about Guangling, a big city like Xuzhou.
"This part of Guangling north of Huaiyin in Xuzhou is now ostensibly under the command of this general Yuan Shao, but the real master is this Yangzhou Liu Mang, and the remaining two thousand Yangzhou, no! It should be that the 5,000 sailors went to Guangling City and entered the sea! Zhuge Liang explained to Wen Ping.
"Five thousand soldiers?" Wen Ping's eyes lit up, the original Yangzhou only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, but this time it went to 5,000, and there were 5,000 left.
"Yes!" Zhuge Liang nodded, "The Yangzhou Navy of this Lujiang has not only taken 5,000 main forces, but now it is supplemented with 3,000 new troops, and this main general has also been replaced!" ”
"The Lord has changed? Gan Ning is gone? "Wen Ping knows Gan Ning, this guy used to be a captain of the Jingzhou Navy Academy, he didn't mix well in the Jingzhou Navy at the beginning, Jin Fan Thief, Wen Ping also stopped, if Gan Ning is still in the Jingzhou Army, I'm afraid he will call Wen Ping a general now, but when he went to Yangzhou, he was brilliant, the battle of Lujiang, with fewer enemies and more, sent 30,000 Jiangdong elite sailors into the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, that station shocked the world.
It was also this Gan Ning who completely rewrote the battle of the naval army, it was originally a rain of arrows flying and a broadside battle, and now although it is also a rain of arrows, this arrow is much bigger than before, and the homeopathy of the warship is much larger.
Originally, Wen Ping was still wary of this Gan Ning, but now Zhuge Liang actually sued Wen Ping, this Yangzhou has changed the main general, and Gan Ning is gone, isn't this a happy event.
"Yes! It's been a long time since I've seen Gan Ning in Lujiang Water Village," Zhuge Liang nodded.
"So who is the commander of the Yangzhou Navy now?" Wen Ping asked.
"Lu Xun!" Zhuge Liang said such a name.
"Lu Xun?" Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, he really didn't stop the name, "Who is this person?" Wen Ping asked.
"Lu Xun is a native of Wu County, if the general doesn't know Lu Xun, then you should know his grandfather Lu Kang!" Zhuge Liang explained.
"Lu Kang?" Wen Ping frowned, this Lu Kang's name is famous for the Yangtze River generation, because this person is a rare official who loves the people, and the original Lujiang has become a big city in Yangzhou under its governance, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is not inferior to Xiangyang Jiangling in Jingzhou.
It's a pity that this person was finally defeated in the hands of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, Sun Ce relied on the support of Yuan Shu, at that time, Yuan Shu's separatist forces were heavily armed in the county of Jiujiang County-Shouchun, and Yuan asked Lu Kang for 30,000 rice because of the lack of food in the army. Lu Kang thought that Yuan Shu was rebellious, closed his door and did not associate with him, and he reorganized his combat preparations to meet the enemy. Yuan Shu was furious. Send Sun Ce to attack Lu Kang. The Lujiang city is surrounded layer by layer. Lu Kang led the army to hold on. The soldiers under him had gone out on vacation before, and when they heard the news, they all returned to Lujiang and climbed the city wall at night to help the guards. Lu Kang held on for two years before Lujiang City was broken, and finally Lu Kang also died in Lujiang City with a large family.
Lu Kang has only been dead for a few years, this Lu Kang's grandson? "A yellow-mouthed child?" Wen Ping's mouth opened to know that he had said the wrong thing, this Lu Xun should be about the same age as Zhuge Liang, if Lu Xun is a yellow-mouthed child. So isn't this Zhuge Liang too.
"Don't blame the military advisor, don't blame the military advisor!" Wen Ping said awkwardly to Zhuge Liang.
"Why should the general be like this" Zhuge Liang doesn't care about other people's doubts about his age, as long as he has strength.
"Is this Lu Xun also like a military advisor?" Wen Ping thought about it in his heart, but then he smiled self-deprecatingly, how many demons like Zhuge Liang can there be, this Lu Xun is just a yellow-mouthed child, although there are many generals in Yangzhou, but there are really few generals in this navy who are famous. As soon as this Gan Ning leaves, who will be left? This Lu Xun is probably the tallest of the short. It's just a nameless rat.
"So General!" Zhuge Liang seemed to know what Wen Ping was thinking, "When we attack the Yangzhou army, all that hinders us is this Sanjiangkou and Huangzhou, and Jiangdong of Wuchang, as long as they get out of the way, this Yangzhou Navy is not ready to be captured!" What's more, with the help of the Jiangdong Army, why do you need the whole army to attack Yangzhou? Just let these Jiangxia troops stay. Zhuge Liang said to Wen Ping, Zhuge Liang means that the biggest obstacle to attacking the Yangzhou Navy is not the strength of the Yangzhou Navy Army, but that the road is blocked, and it is impossible to pass through the territory of the Jiangdong Navy Army, after all, the two sides are enemies, but now it is different, with Jiangxia as a gift to Jiangdong, Jiangdong will not only get out of the way, let the Jingzhou Navy attack the Yangzhou Navy and even help the Yangzhou Navy Army, which is also worried about the Yangzhou Navy Army! It's not a hand-to-hand capture.
Naturally, the biggest obstacle to the elimination of the Yangzhou Navy is gone, and the Jingzhou Army does not need to dispatch the whole army, tens of thousands of horses are enough, Wen Ping is only worried about not being able to explain to those soldiers of the Jiangxia Army, you can't let them fight side by side with those who killed their robes and occupied their homes, so simply don't confess.
Let these Jiangxia troops stay here, and the Jingzhou Navy can dispatch the remaining soldiers and horses.
"The rest of the soldiers?" Wen Ping frowned, if the Jiangxia army does not move, then there are only less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Wen Ping's hands, and more than 10,000 of them are the elites in the hands of the lord Liu Biao, these elites are dead to Liu Biao, so before the dispatch, Liu Biao had said to Wen Ping that another 100,000 soldiers could be killed in the front, and the 10,000 descendants could not be seriously injured. So these days, Wen Ping has regarded these Liu Biao's descendants as a supervising team, and has never let them directly go out to fight tough battles.
But now that the Jiangxia army can't move, it has been necessary to dispatch this Liu Biao's descendant troops for so long.
"What's the matter, is the general still hesitating?" Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said to Wen Ping, "If the general hesitates any longer and lets those Jiangxia soldiers know the lord's plan, then the general will not only not be able to complete the lord's task, but may also lead to a mutiny in the army!" ”
Zhuge Liang said to Wen Ping, if this Jiangxia Navy knew that it was going to unite with the enemy Jiangdong Army and throw away Jiangxia, it was really possible to mutiny. Once there is a mutiny in the army, then Wen Ping will send troops to suppress it, so he will still complete the task given by the lord Liu Biao.
So now it's a quick battle, only if the Yangzhou army takes it first, and when it becomes a fact, then these Jiangxia soldiers can only swallow their anger even if they are dissatisfied.
"Good! Just listen to the military advisor! Wen Ping stood up, he let go, what happened to Liu Biao's descendant troops, aren't these soldiers and horses used to fight, Wen Ping's descendants have more than 15,000 people, plus Zhuge Liang's troops, and some other steps, the entire army has taken out a total of 35,000 people.
Such a force is considered large-scale in the Yangtze River, and the enemy is just a Lujiang naval army with less than 8,000 sailors.
"In this way, just as a general's order, this Lujiang can be broken!" Zhuge Liang looked at Wen Ping, and Li Yan on the side looked at Zhuge Liang, and always felt that the smile of the military advisor was very weird. (To be continued......)
