Chapter 32 The Ship Crossing the River

Wen Ping was recruited by Cao Cao, and he also acted in a play at that time.

When Cao Cao took Jingzhou, he wanted to recruit Wen Ping, but at first Wen Ping did not go to see Cao Cao, and waited until Cao Cao summoned him.

At that time, Wen Ping expressed his shame, saying that he did not keep Jingzhou, and he was ashamed of his ancestors.

Cao Cao was the most emotional on this occasion, so he was very moved at the time, and then praised Wen Ping and urged him to serve himself.

Therefore, Wen Ping really wants to show himself, and he is holding back his strength.

But if you're here in Cao Ang, you won't eat this set!

It is a low-level mistake to complain about the general, ignoring the rules and complaining about the commander during the march.

"The military law is over, not so."

Cao Ang shook his head, "I know you are eager to make meritorious contributions, but don't be in a hurry, do what you need to do first." ”

Wen Ping is much more honest now: "Yes, the subordinates will be the head of the horse!" ”

That's right, a soldier must look like a soldier, and he can't think of one set when he has a temper.

Fortunately, Wen Ping is not that kind of brute general, he is still a wise general, very loyal and brave.

At the beginning, the attitude was actually that he didn't take Cao Ang seriously.

It's normal, before I started to have much communication, he thought that it was your father who I surrendered, not you.

And Cao Ang has just returned, and he still has no prestige in the army, and everyone is very unfamiliar with him.

Not to mention other people in the army, now Lian Cao Cao is a little unfamiliar with this son......

Without any personal charm and prestige, you can't expect these generals to admire you much, so Cao Ang can only use military regulations to limit it.

If you don't obey me, I don't need you to obey, just do it according to the regulations.

"It doesn't have to be like this, you and I do things according to the rules, and you can not listen to them outside the constraints of military regulations."

Some generals have a great temper, especially those who have the ability, if they act recklessly because they are the son of the prime minister, then he will definitely not respect you, this Wenpin is at least not the kind of person who blindly stammers.

"General Zhonglang, the last general understands!"

Wen Ping saluted according to the regulations of the army, and Cao Ang's way of dealing with the relationship that was not far away made him serious.

is constrained by military regulations, and orders are prohibited, which makes Cao Ang have a feeling of mastering the army.

Looking around, on the wide river, the fleet of boats is lined up in a long line, and there is no end in sight.

An army of 100,000 men......

In fact, the numbers are exaggerated, of course, the number of people is not all counted as soldiers, most of them are boatmen, as well as civilian workers with the army, these people are the main force in building the water village.

These people alone account for a large part of the population, and after removing the water of the declared number, there are not many actual soldiers.

And the army that can really fight is Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's headquarters, with thousands of people.

and the thousands of people of the Jingzhou army, which are now under the management of Wenping.

All these really capable armies add up to no more than 10,000 ......

These forces are sufficient, at least Dongwu does not dare to take the initiative to attack, because there are several armies of Cao Cao on land to deter, if Dongwu dispatches enough to take down the vanguard army, then the rear will inevitably be empty.

At that time, several large armies in the surrounding area can take the city by land.

And the battle that really took place on the water was actually enough for a few thousand people, and there were not many boats on the river.

This is a river, not a sea.

Wen Ping retired, he had to supervise the march of the fleet, and Cao Ang alone admired the magnificent fleet.

It was a feeling he had never felt before, one man in charge of an army!

Although this was surrendered by Jingzhou, Cao Cao was also very disdainful of them, but how could later generations have such an experience.

This feeling is indescribable, and Cao Ang is fantasizing about how to command a magnificent ancient battle in the future.

Sure enough, what men need is power, and Cao Ang was greatly satisfied by looking at all this vanity......

Not long after, Wen Ping came back and reported urgently: "General Zhonglang, the front will arrive in Wulin!" ”

"Very good, let the fleet carrying the people dock first, and set up camp immediately!"

"Yes...... However, there was a flag ahead, and several Soochow warships were blocking it. ”

Cao Ang was shocked, the Dongwu warship, is this about to start?

In history, Cao Cao's army went down the river, and Dongwu did not dare to stop it, so he could only hold on.

But now the water army brought by Cao Ang is only 10,000 or 20,000 in the sky, and there are only a few thousand that can really fight.

Don't look at the small number of warships, but they are serious Dongwu warships, this is not land, as long as they anchor the river and block Cao Ang's fleet, their combat effectiveness is higher than that of these Jingzhou soldiers......

I'm afraid that a fleet of ships will have to stay here, so the troops of the real water war are expensive but not much more expensive.

"Are you all ready?"

"Zhonglang will rest assured, there is General Cai Mao ahead, he will definitely not have any omissions, and the few ships that blocked him did not dare to start a war rashly, they just asked who the main general was first, Zhonglang General, will you fight?"

didn't say that if you encounter obstacles, you can just fight them, it really provokes Dongwu, what should they do if they pounce on them.

Cao Ang thought about it carefully, and immediately ordered: "You send the flag, the fleet behind will stop first, let's go to the front to have a look!" ”

Wen Ping followed Cao Ang's instructions and went to give the order.

And Cao Ang returned to the cabin and asked Jia Xu first.

This is the advantage of having a strategist by his side, Cao Ang is not familiar with many things in this era, and someone has to lead him.

When Jia Xu learned this, he was not in a hurry.

"Don't worry, don't worry, go and ask what they mean."

"They are enemies, we are here to conquer Soochow, can we still discuss?"

Jia Xu smiled: "The eldest prince, we are just the vanguard of the former army, not to mention that they only have a few ships, even if they have strong combat power, they will not do it easily, how many armies are you arranged as the prime minister?" ”

"Besides, what we came over is only Jingzhou to surrender the army, if we are really in a hurry, Jingzhou will have the same hatred as Cheng."

"Go ahead, this is just the first spies, and they haven't made a decision yet."

Cao Ang nodded, yes, these are Jingzhou troops, if there is a rush with Jiangdong, the Jingzhou army will be more closely united with Cao Cao's army.

If Jiangdong wants to fight, he has to weigh it.

"How do you say, sir? If I say it publicly, will it expose the purpose of the prime minister? ”

"Don't worry, what do you say, the prime minister asked you to come over this time, just to deter!"

"Wouldn't that prepare them?"

"Do you think that when the prime minister's army drove over, they would not be prepared?"

Jia Xu saw it very thoroughly, "As long as the army moves, it can't hide from Dongwu, and even they know that we are coming from the Jingzhou army, just say it." ”

Don't hide it, Mingpai told Soochow that I was here to get you!

Yes, even if they have no scruples about the army in the rear, they will think that this is a trap.

Cao Cao had long figured out that these were Jingzhou soldiers, and once Dongwu fought with all his might and destroyed this forward force, he would recruit them again.

As for Cao Ang, run!
