Chapter 278: Young and Ten Thousand Dou
Jiangxia County, Xiakou, but in the city of Yue.
Lu Meng placed the people brought by Sun Quan, and when he returned to the mansion, he was stunned.
He thought that Sun Quan was here to comfort the army this time, and he must be lightly armed, and he didn't want Sun Quan to bring more than 30,000 military horses.
It must be known that although the Sun family now occupies half of Jiangdong, Jiangdong has always been barren, and there are many miasma in the south, which is not comparable with the Central Plains.
It is already an extreme number to be able to gather 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses in this half of the land, and it is still dry and fishing, most of which will cause local turmoil, and it will be difficult to recover for more than ten years.
So now that Sun Quan suddenly brought so many people, don't say it's him Lu Meng, even if he is a mediocre general, he can also detect the unusualness.
Gan Ning, who got along with him well today, came to the door.
"Ziming, do you think the lord is going to have a big war? Otherwise, why did you bring so many people with you when you came to Jiangxia? You are the confidant of the lord, and the lord will definitely not hide it from you. You and my brother, reveal a little bit, let me prepare one or two in advance, and when I make a contribution in the future, I can share some with you. You also know my ability, if I can go into battle, I will definitely kill the opponent's general."
Gan Ning was in Lu Meng's house, drinking Lu Meng's wine, and said.
The four words of home are worthy of the name, and Gan Ning doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
Lu Meng didn't have any trouble with this, but he really didn't know what Sun Quan meant.
He also took a sip of wine, "Now is not the time for a big war. Jingzhou's civil strife, the attack on Jiangxia also made sense, Jingzhou was even happy to see it, Liu Qi, the eldest son who lost power, died when he died. Now I am only afraid that when the lord sees that he has captured Jiangxia so easily, he will feel how powerful my Jiangdong soldiers and horses are, and how useless the enemy army is. I want to make a big splash and take the opportunity to make some great achievements. In this way, I am afraid that I will be greedy for merit and make meritorious contributions, but I will have to take the lives of many Jiangdong children."
Gan Ning nodded, even if he was a rough man, he could hear the meaning of Lu Meng's words.
It's just that Lu Meng also understands in his heart that now that Sun Quan can lead troops to Jiangxia, it must be Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao who can't stop it.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
's famous generals, do you think it's better for me to point my sword next?"
Lu Meng said softly, "I guess the lord already has an idea in his heart."
Sun Quan smiled, "Not bad."
He raised his hand and pointed to the east, "I am a soldier of Jiangdong, and I have grown up in water battles. Now go along the water to the east, cross the Chaohu Lake, and can go straight to the city of Hefei. The Qingzhou army would never have imagined that our army would take advantage of the water conservancy to capture this place, and the city of Hefei would be empty. Even if you can't take Shouchun, you can let the Qingzhou army see the majesty of our Jiangdong army, so that Liu Xuande will not dare to have a bad heart."
As he spoke, the young monarch was in high spirits.
At this moment, he suddenly felt in his heart, in fact, he was not under his brother.
Lu Meng knew that he couldn't persuade Sun Quan, and now that Jiangxia was new, he couldn't leave Jiangxia to walk with Sun Quan.
He had to smile bitterly and said, "In that case, please also ask the lord to bring Gan Ning, this person is brave and courageous, and he can be a pioneer general."
Sun Quan nodded, "Lone has already heard of Gan Xingba's name, and with him with him this time, he will definitely be able to make some gains."
Sun Quan turned his head, looked out of the building again, and laughed softly: "When I was a teenager, my father would often mention that Qingzhou Mu to Brother Guhe, saying that he was really a heroic figure who could get up with the border warriors of the northern land and defeat Yuan Benchu, who was the fourth and third dukes."
He patted the railing under him, "I can't wait to fight with this person, and I also want this person to know that my Jiangdong Sun family is not under him Liu Bei." The land of Jiangdong is not something that his Qingzhou army can touch."
…………
Yangzhou, northwest of Chaohu Lake, Hefei.
There are now three generals stationed in the city.
One is Gao Shun, who is trapped in the camp, and the 800 trapped camp under his command is also in the city.
Now the soldiers are fully equipped, and there are still less than 1,000 people, but they can be regarded as a rare strong army under Liu Bei.
Catch and kill, as well as small-scale fighting, the trapped camp is difficult to have opponents in the Qingzhou army.
The second is naturally Zhang Liao, who switched from Lu Bu's subordinates to Liu Bei's subordinates.
After the First World War in Jizhou, there were fewer wars in the north, and Zhang Liao also came to the south. I thought that there would be more wars in the south, but I didn't want wars in the south to be worse than the north.
When you are in the north, you can go and beat those Wuhuan people who don't know the height of the sky.
In the south, it is difficult to see even a single enemy army.
As for the third general, it was when Liu Bei went to Yanzhou. This person is a member of the Cheng clan, surnamed Li Mingdian, when his uncle Li Cheng led the army to defeat Cao Cao, who was passing by the Cheng clan, the combat power of the Li family can be seen.
The three generals in the city have different temperaments.
Zhang Liao had been at the border for a long time, his temperament was sparse, he did not pay attention to the rules, and often stayed in the barracks, gambling with the soldiers in the army, so he walked closest to the people in the army.
Gao Shun has a temperament, and after so many years, he still doesn't like to drink, and he just governs the army according to the law. Although it is not as good as Zhang Liao to get along with the sergeants and soldiers of the army, there is a clear distinction between public and private, so the sergeants and soldiers of the army are also happy to die.
As for Li Dian, he doesn't look like a military general at all, and when he has nothing to do on weekdays, his favorite thing is to study at home, and when it comes to learning, even the well-educated people in the city are not his opponents.
The three of them have different temperaments, and it is naturally difficult to get along, but fortunately, Zhang Liao has always admired Gao Shun very much, so there is nothing to do between the two. It's just that he and Li Dian have opposite temperaments, and it is inevitable that there will be friction from time to time.
Today, the three of them rarely get together in one place.
Gao Shun stood at the door, leaning against the door and closing his eyes.
The other two people in the room were arguing and arguing.
Fortunately, Gao Shun has been used to it in recent years, so it is just the left ear in and the right ear out.
It turned out that the secret agents who had been planted outside the city before had found that Jiangxia's Jiangdong Army had already come along the river, and now it had crossed Chaohu Lake and was on its way to Hefei.
Looking at the momentum, it seems that Sun Quan personally led the army to come.
What the two people in the house are fighting about now is not whether to retreat or fight, but who will defend the city and who will lead the army to fight.
Zhang Liao said coldly: "Li Mancheng, you are only on weekdays
Knowing how to read, I really went to the battlefield, but I am afraid that I can't even hold a knife steadily, and I want you to lead the army to the battle, wouldn't it delay the major event of the lord? You still honestly lead the army to defend the city here, and watch me lead the troops to defeat Sun Quan."
Li Dian also sneered, "You Zhang Wen have been on the border for a long time, and you are good at dealing with those alien races. can deal with the heroes of the Central Plains, and it may not be how. Back then, I followed my uncle to hunt down Cao Cao, who was regarded as a great enemy by the lord, and even Cao Cao was defeated, so can't I defeat his Sun Quan?"
The two glared angrily and refused to give in.
With Gao Shun here, the two of them naturally did not move their swords, but after all, no one would back down.
Seeing that the two had been facing each other for a long time and it was still difficult to achieve results, Gao Shun, who had been silent, finally turned around and walked slowly into the house.
Gao Shun opened his mouth and said, "I think it is better for me to lead the troops to stay in Hefei City, and the two of you will lead people to stop Sun Quan, how about it?"
The two glanced at each other, and although they did not speak, a deep color of contempt could be seen in their eyes.
Gao Shun laughed angrily, "Since you don't want to go, then the two of you stay in the city, and I will bring my own troops to stop Sun Quan, how about it?"
Zhang Liao's face immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "Sun Quan is just a mere kid, how can he work for General Gao, doesn't he look down on him? To deal with this person, it is enough for me and Mancheng."
Immediately, he glanced at Li Dian.
Li Dian naturally didn't want this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he also smiled and said, "What Wen Yuan said is reasonable. Wen Yuan and I can do this matter, and we don't need General Gao to take action personally."
Among the three, Gao Shun is the highest in terms of official position.
Gao Shun was one of the first generals to follow Liu Bei back then, and he had deep seniority in the army, and his words, even Liu Bei, had to think a little more, and sometimes they were even more useful than Liu Bei's most trusted second general, Guan Zhang.
It's not that Gao Shun and Liu Bei are closer, but Guan and Zhang have their own personality disadvantages, while Gao Shun is selfless.
Even if he has insight into people's hearts such as Jia Xu, he has to admit that when it comes to sitting on one side, Gao Shun is actually more suitable than Guan Zhang Erjiang.
Zhang Liao laughed and said, "But there is one thing, I have long coveted General Gao's trapped camp, and this time I am out of the city, General Gao will definitely use me to trap the camp."
Gao Shun nodded, but added casually: "But you should not be careless, Sun Quan is the son of Sun Jian in the end, and his brother Sun Ce is also a figure who can run rampant on the battlefield. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog, although I have never heard of Sun Quan's achievements, but you still have to be careful."
He was very relieved of the two of them, one was bold and careful, and the other was old, if he found that he could not fight, he would naturally retreat into the city.
It's just that there are some things that I've said, as the seniors of the two, I always have to say the last thing.
Zhang Liao scratched his head casually and said with a smile, "I begged him to fight some. Otherwise, it's too boring."
…………
To the south of Chaohu Lake, the Jiangdong army has arrived.
Sun Quan ordered Gan Ning to lead an army to open the way first, and he led the army behind him slowly.
The Jiangdong military horse is not a whole army like Liu Bei's Qingzhou army.
Lieutenant General Sun Quanjun is mostly from the big families in Jiangdong, and most of these people join the army with their own families.
Now that the Sun family can gain a foothold in Jiangdong, they still have to rely on these local wealthy families, and naturally they can't and dare not break up the tribes of these people.
Therefore, although Sun Quan is regarded as the lord of Jiangdong, there are not many descendants in his hands who can really be used by him.
Today, the army has been encamped, and Sun Quan's main account is guarded by Ling Tong's army.
In the main tent, Sun Quan was staring at the map on the table and frowned slightly.
Although he had followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce in battle when he was a teenager, he only accompanied him and saw the cruelty of the battlefield, and he never personally commanded the army after all.
He looked at Ling Tong on the other side and said with a smile, "Gongji, you said that if my father and brother were here, how would they fight the enemy?"
Ling Tong didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "If the young general is here, where do you need to set any battle strategy, just rush over and kill it."
Just words
As soon as he spoke, he knew he had said the wrong thing.
Although he is a martial artist in the army, he also knows that Sun Ce is now a taboo that Jiangdong cannot mention.
Sun Quan's expression remained unchanged, and he still smiled, "Gongji's words are reasonable, but I can't compare to my brother after all. So when it comes to the battle formation, I still want you to do more."
Ling Tong forcibly said goodbye and left.
When he got out of the big tent and was blown by the cold wind, he couldn't help but shiver.
It's not a cold season, but the stomach behind the back is full of moisture.
The young general, who was not afraid to fight in battle, turned out to be sweating profusely.
Now that Sun Quan is gradually showing his strength, it is just because Xu is still suppressed by Zhou Yu and others, and he does not dare to act too arbitrarily.
But Ling Tong, the people around him who followed Sun Quan's side all day long, knew that this person was cold.
seems to be humble and polite, but in fact it is the most affectionate.
Ling Tong sighed and walked away.
Maybe it is a person like the eldest son to fight the world, and a person like the second son to sit in the world.
It's just that he still prefers the eldest son more.
…………
In the big tent, the young male lord who had been smiling and watching Ling Tong leave suddenly changed his face.
He slammed his fist into the eucalyptus in front of him, with so much force that his palm was red.
In the past few years, he has to go out hunting every few days, and even used to fight a tiger.
Although he loved hunting, he also wanted to show off his bravery.
Even so, in the hearts of Ling Tong and the others, he still couldn't compare to the brother who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Sun Quan sighed, which was one of the reasons why he ignored the persuasion of Zhou Yu and others, and wanted to attack Jiangxia first and then Hefei.
He needs a big win to prove it.
He, Sun Zhongmou, is not under Sun Bofu!
