Chapter 193: Nancang Camp
Back at the post station, Nan Luoying immediately found a pen and paper and wrote a letter, and ordered someone to send it to Nan Cang, the content was naturally written in the secret language of the Nan family, and she was not worried about leaking secrets.
The guards did not dare to slack off, so they quietly went out of the city that day, and then hurried all the way to Chenzhou South County, which was hundreds of miles away.
Like the Great Wilderness City, this is an outpost close to Nanzhou.
However, there is no big barren mountain here, only a Songshui water separates part of the south bank city of Nanzhou and Chenzhou South County.
Chenzhou South County is divided into two here.
It is also the only way for the Qi king's army to go out of Nanzhou, and it is also the main passage for the imperial court to enter Nanzhou.
At this time, the Nancang army was stationed along the first line of Songshui and stationed on the north bank of Songshui.
And the coalition formed by the king of Qi and other anti-kings, also after the convergence of Nanzhou, completed the general rectification of Nanzhou, after the troops out of Chenzhou, the momentum was like a bamboo, and they occupied several cities south of Songshui in Nanjun in ten days.
When the intent is to go out of the water.
It happened that Nancang arrived and burned the pontoon bridge that the Nanzhou coalition army had built on the Songshui, and the Nanzhou coalition army could not cross the water, so they had to retreat temporarily, and also set up a large camp on the south bank of Songshui.
The two sides have become in a state of confrontation across the river.
The Nanzhou coalition army knew that Nancang was not easy to deal with, and did not dare to attack easily.
And because of Nancang's inadequate preparation, it seems that he has no intention of attacking urgently.
However, both sides are not without action.
On the one hand, Nancang strengthened the barracks, but on the other hand, he trained the soldiers on the north bank of Songshui with great fanfare.
It gives people the impression that he is not here to quell the rebellion, but with the intention of keeping it.
This made the Nanzhou coalition army, which was still a little nervous about Nancang's arrival, instantly have some contempt.
The Nanzhou coalition army, especially the Qi Wang's department, can be said to be invincible all the way since they left the state, not only in less than two months, but also basically completely controlled the land of Nanzhou.
After that, it was even more lightning fast to steal the bell, and in ten days, it occupied the three cities on the south bank of Chenzhou South County, which made the momentum of the king of the Seven Roads Domain great for a while.
And King Qi also vaguely has a feeling of being the head of the Seven Kings.
In this case, the generals under the command of King Qi are naturally confident, and even a little arrogant.
Looking at the famous Nancang again, seeing that they also became ostriches, he couldn't help but be even more arrogant.
For a while, it was clear that the previous attack had been contained, but the morale of the whole army was inexplicably shocked, and there was a feeling that Nancang was like nothing.
When the troops were training on the Nancang side, the Nanzhou coalition army was cutting down trees to make boats and wooden bridges.
It seems to be about preparing for a strong attack.
Seeing this situation, on the north shore side, Nancang's reaction was a bit intriguing.
Not only did he not make the corresponding preparations, but ordered the battalion to retreat three miles.
looks like he can't be provoked and can hide.
Such a reaction not only made the Nanzhou coalition army on the south bank even more arrogant, but some people in the Nancang army were a little depressed.
Even a small number of people feel that their own Taiwei is really old, or that Taiwei doesn't want to fight for the emperor at all.
Otherwise, if you don't build boats and take the initiative to attack, why don't you give up the river bank.
Since ancient times, all guarding the river is half-crossing, how can there be a reason to give up the riverbank.
However, although these people muttered secretly, Nan Cang's prestige in the army made these people dare not say anything.
It's just that when training in the army, some people inevitably become a little slack.
It wasn't until Nan Cang ordered Nan Wuxing to severely punish several people that the wind of slackness was finally contained.
But up and down the camp, there are still some people who don't understand Nan Cang's mind.
It's not just those low-level officers and soldiers who don't understand, but even some high-level officers and soldiers are very suspicious.
Today, when the generals gathered in the camp, some people couldn't help but ask questions.
"Father-in-law, in the past few days, my father-in-law, Chen Bing and Songshui, have neither boated nor built wooden bridges, and they only practice soldiers every day, I don't know what to do?"
As soon as this person opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the attention of many people, not only because this person helped everyone ask the questions in their hearts, but also because this person was not a bystander.
It was Nan Cang's second son-in-law, Cao Zishuo.
It is the core figure of the Nan family.
In addition, this person is also one of the representatives of the Cao family, the founding lord of Great Qin.
The other one, naturally, is Cao Ziyu, the eldest son of the Cao family, who is also Nancang's eldest son-in-law.
Nancang's two daughters also married into the Cao family, which shows the relationship between the two families.
Therefore, the Cao family is not only one of the cores of the Nancang lineage, but also a small hill in the Nancang lineage.
Naturally, many people paid attention to his question.
Nan Cang glanced at him and didn't speak, on the other side, Nan Wuwu couldn't help frowning slightly and said: "Zishuo, you are wrong with what you asked, do you think my father doesn't want to build boats and pontoon bridges?"
But when I come from the north, there are also northerners in the army, so who can handle them if they have boats?"
When he said this, everyone's hearts moved, and they couldn't help nodding slightly.
Indeed, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the southerners are not good at riding and the northerners are not good at boats.
Most of the Nancang troops came from Gyeonggi and Jizhou and Yongzhou in the north, and there were even many Southern Hun barbarians.
Cao Zishuo also frowned, he also thought of what Nan Wuwu said, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, in his opinion, isn't it just a boat, won't he still be able to learn?
And he is a card character of the Cao family's generation, he is also arrogant, if this is Nan Cang, or Nan Wu fear, Nan Wu is afraid of it, he will just say it.
Nan is worry-free, but he is a little unaffordable.
thinks that among the three brothers of the Nan family, the most unpromising is Nan Wuwu.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but sneer, "Worry-free, I'm talking to my father-in-law, what are you talking about?"
If I'm not mistaken, you should stay in the capital and be your palace guard now.
Do you also have a battle formation?"
"You ......"
As soon as he said this, Nan Wuwu's face suddenly became ugly.
Except for Nan Cang, who was still silent, the expressions of the people in the camp couldn't help but change, and they even frowned slightly.
Even Cao Ziyu and Nan Wuxing frowned slightly.
However, some people followed the sneering chuckles, obviously they were either all members of the Cao family, or they were also not very impressed with Nan Wuwu, and even a little jealous.
But Cao Zishuo slapped his forehead unconsciously and said, "Oh, I remembered, because this time Wuwei Yuan couldn't come back in Yongzhou, so you came."
Even so, you shouldn't interject indiscriminately, and dare to call me by my name, don't you even understand humility?"
"Cao Zishuo, you're enough!"
Nan Wuwu suddenly took the case, "Talking about things in the army, talking about things, what I said is the truth."
Whether I am in battle or not, you don't need to judge.
As for calling you by your name, you and I are just equals, so why not call you by your name?"
"Facts, what facts?"
Cao Zishuo sneered, and was very disdainful of Nan Wuwu, who started the shooting.
"The northerners are not good at Zhou, and the southerners are not good at riding, do you think I don't know?
But if you are not good, should you let it continue to be bad?
Shouldn't we practice it if it's not good?
And as a general, I am arranged, and I have doubts in my heart, shouldn't I ask clearly?
What qualifications do you have to answer questions on behalf of the manager?"
"As for humility. ”
Cao Zishuo sneered again, "I am your brother-in-law, and you should respect me as a brother."
In the country, I am the four towns, and you are only barely the end of the Jiuqing, how can you not be humble?"
