Chapter 100: Circumambulation of Linchuan
From Wu County, he led the troops to Nanchang City.
Cheng Pu marched extremely fast, for fear of delaying time.
As a veteran of Jiangdong, Cheng Pu is more aware of today's crisis. Jingzhou is no longer the same as before, its strength is better than before, and even Cao Cao can't break through Jingbei when he moves south.
And he has served the Sun family since the Sun Jian period, and there have been three generations so far, except for Zhou Yu, the generals of Jiangdong are headed by him, and they should do their best to fight.
At the same time, Cheng Pu did not take it lightly.
As a general of Jiangdong, he has rich experience in actual combat, so he naturally knows the risk of being ambushed on the way.
Scouts were sent along the way.
On this day, scouts rushed back and forth to deliver news.
In the Great Tent.
"Governor Qiqi, we will explore along the road and find traces of the Jingzhou army near Yushui."
Hearing this, Cheng Pu's expression changed slightly.
At the same time, he was also very happy in his heart.
Fortunately, he was on guard and did not rush straight to Nanchang City, otherwise he would have been ambushed by the Jingzhou army.
Now Jingzhou has sent troops to Yuzhang, and the primary target is Nanchang City.
Now it is appearing along the shores of Yushui.
Then there is only one possibility, and it is to ambush the reinforcements.
Such tactics are not uncommon.
In the big tent, there was also a veteran figure, he slowly took a step forward, and said loudly:
"Demou, it seems that you really guessed it, now Jingzhou may not be attacking Nanchang, but wants to ambush us and others."
Cheng Pu nodded and said:
"Yigong, you are right, the cunning women of Jingzhou are cheating, and they must not be taken lightly. If you despise them, I am afraid that you will have to pay a heavy price, and Jiang Xia has been a lesson before. ”.
This veteran is Han Dang, this time Cheng Pu led the army to support Yu Zhang, as the deputy general of the army.
They are all old Jiangdong seniors.
Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao are all veterans who followed Sun Jian's southern expedition to the north. Now there are only the two of them left, and Huang Gai died on the battlefield in Jiangxia.
Immediately afterwards, Han Dang asked again:
"I'm waiting to help Nanchang, and I'm going to take the Yushui the fastest, and now I'm going to arrange an ambush, where should I go?"
Hearing Han Dang's words, Cheng Pu fell into thought, and after a while, he finally spoke:
"Since the Jingzhou army, then we will go to Linchuan first, and then lead the army to support Nanchang City. Since the enemy has spare strength to ambush, it shows that Nanchang City is still stable today. ”
The two agreed, and they no longer hesitated.
Directly lead the troops around the line.
Compared with the support along the remaining water, the detour to Linchuan is longer, but this also avoids the danger of being ambushed.
In today's situation, Cheng Pu is reluctant to take too many risks.
Inside the city.
The castle tower is a little messy.
The captives have been taken in.
Huang Zhong looked into the distance, and Wei Yan, who was beside him, wondered:
"General Huang, Linchuan is in the south of Nanchang, let's come here at great length, can we really meet Jiangdong reinforcements?"
Huang Zhong glanced at him and said with a smile:
"Haha, Wen Chang, you don't have to worry, this is the arrangement of the military advisor, you and I just need to obey the order."
Hearing this, Wei Yan hesitated and stopped talking.
Compared with Nanchang City, Sun Ben led the army to defend it, and Huang Zhong led people to capture Linchuan but did not make much effort. Seeing the Jingzhou army approaching the city, the county commander chose to surrender without hesitation.
And the news here has not come out yet.
Even Koto doesn't know the situation.
Now outside Nanchang City, except for some soldiers and horses left by Huang Zhong, the rest of the camps are all empty camps.
But Sun Ben trembled, and the defenders walked on thin ice.
How dare they come out and tempt?
The two sides were entangled in Nanchang City, and no one could have expected that Huang Zhong's main forces were already stationed here.
And the ambush soldiers along the shore of Yushui.
It was also an illusion created by Gan Ning, who led the naval army in Poyang Lake, and at the same time instigated Huang Zhong to attack the city and pull out the village.
If Cheng Pu did not choose to change the route.
The Ganning Navy can also attack along the remaining waters.
It belongs to the preparation of both hands.
But none
Question, Linchuan is the key. Huang Zhong led the main force here, and he could kill the Jiangdong army by surprise, and the outcome would be obvious at that time.
Stay in Linchuan City.
Wei Yan's mood was a little restless.
The main thing is that it is arranged like this, and there is no chance for him to play at all.
On this day.
There were scouts returning in a hurry.
In the Linchuan County Mansion, Huang Zhong asked loudly:
"What news are you waiting to find?"
The scout hurriedly arched his hand and said:
"General Qiyu, we have found traces of Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and they are coming in the direction of Linchuan County."
Hearing this, Huang Zhong suddenly looked happy.
Wei Yan, who was still a little depressed, lit up in his eyes, and felt a little unbelievable. The military advisor is really like a god, and he can even calculate this matter, which is really terrifying.
Huang Zhong stroked his beard and smiled:
"It seems that the military division is not bad, the enemy army is really coming towards Linchuan County, can Wen Chang still have objections?"
Wei Yan shook his head decisively.
Although he is a little anxious for quick success, he is not the first iron, and today's news has verified the previous plan.
asked casually, and Huang Zhong was no longer ambiguous.
His gaze swept over the generals.
In the end, it fell on Wei Yan again, saying:
"Wei Yan, I will see that you have a lot of meritorious service, so I will hand over the vanguard of this battle to you. When the time comes, the troops will bypass the flank of Linchuan, wait for the news of the general, and launch a surprise attack.
The general is to lead the main force, stay in Linchuan City, if the Jiangdong soldiers and horses attack, they will go out of the city to fight. ”
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong actually gave him this opportunity.
Wei Yan's face was overjoyed, and he said respectfully:
"The last general obeys!"
Huang Zhong nodded slowly, and didn't say much, the reason why he paid attention to Wei Yan now was naturally because of Liu Qi. Liu Qi knew that Wei Yan's ability was good, so he wanted him to have more experience.
Previously, Liu Qi had planned to let Wei Yan lead the troops and recruit the clan. As a result, he was appeased by Liu Ba. made Wei Yan guard Lingling, and did not have much opportunity to participate in the battle of Jingbei.
Now attacking Jiangdong, he can naturally let him behave.
When the time comes, it will be convenient to promote.
Although with Liu Qi's prestige, it is not impossible to be promoted unusually, but Wei Yan's personality is quite unruly, and it is not a bad thing to follow Huang Zhong to fight.
After all, Wei Yan's age, compared to Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, is a proper young generation.
The generals arranged and waited for the arrival of Jiangdong soldiers and horses.
The soldier on the tower at this moment.
Huang Zhongdu asked people to change into the clothes of the Jiangdong Army, and when Cheng Pu and the others arrived here, they couldn't see the problem.
When the Jingzhou army comes, it will be too late to evacuate.
After bypassing the remaining water.
Cheng Pu and Han Dang still led their troops in the direction of Linchuan.
Bypassing such a distance, coupled with the scouts along the way, no problems were found, and the two generals were relieved.
When you arrive in Linchuan, you can take a short rest to help Nanchang.
Han Dang said with a smile:
"Demou, the front is Linchuan County, I'm afraid the people of Jingzhou can't imagine that we will detour here!"
Cheng Pu nodded slowly, and said:
"No matter what, we can't take it lightly, and then send someone north to investigate the situation along the way!"
