The huge camp of 100,000 people, the tent room and the tent room are magnificent.

Considering that as long as the old city of Hefei was taken, Jiangdong could be used as a stronghold to attack the new city.

In view of this, Sun Quan did not ask for a strong village, and he could not find enough materials to build it in a hurry, so he simply erected some antlers around the camp, refused horses to do fortifications, and arranged for the outer battalions to strengthen their patrols.

After nightfall, Sun Quan and Lü Meng spent an hour patrolling the camp.

On the way, when we reached the easternmost part of the camp, we saw the light of the fire shaking from near and far.

It was the follow-up troops docking at the berth, and the 100,000-strong army had not yet completed its assembly and camp.

Sun Quan was excited and anxious, just like loading files when playing an updated version of a game, always hoping that the download and installation speed would be faster.

"Ziming, how many people haven't arrived?"

"In this section of the water, only Xiaoyaojin is suitable for landing, and it will take a lot of time for the warships to move back and forth, and there should be one or two hundred thousand people left who have not entered the camp, but they will all arrive in the second half of the night."

"All the soldiers went ashore and entered the camp, and Xiaoyaojin Port remembered to vacate it to ensure that the follow-up material ships remained unblocked."

"Don't worry, the last general has already explained in the afternoon, and all the troop transport warships will return to Chaohu Lake to anchor, which will not affect the movement of the grain transport ships."

"That's very good, by the way, since all the departments can be gathered at night, will the war start tomorrow?"

"Although the front, middle and rear armies have been roughly determined, it is still necessary to prepare and encourage the whole army before the war, and it is best to rest for a day to fight in the best condition."

"Well, I thought we were going to go to war right now."

Lu Meng was a little disappointed when he heard Sun Quan's words, so he added: "If the lord is in a hurry, he can arrange a vanguard to try the combat effectiveness of the defenders. ”

"Oh? That's fine. Sun Quan lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and asked Lu Meng, "Does Ziming have a pioneer candidate?" ”

"This time, except for General Cheng Lao who is far away in Xiakou, almost all of Jiangdong Neng's fierce generals have arrived in Hefei, and it is said that the veteran with deep qualifications should be selected as the vanguard, but the last general feels that Pan Wenqi is more suitable."

Sun Quan was very surprised by Lu Meng's recommendation, because Pan Zhang is his confidant, if you consider the problem from the political level, you can't push your henchmen out as cannon fodder, but should use veterans like Han Dang and Huang Gai.

After all, veterans with deep qualifications are not easy to manage, and their relationship in the army is intertwined, and it is not that Sun Quan can absolutely control it.

If young people want to go to a high position, they need the old guy to give up his position first, and dangerous things cannot be handed over to his henchmen.

Sun Quan's political considerations coincided with his predecessor Cao Cao, and charging into battle would always be a surrender to the general, and his henchmen and clans would not be assigned dangerous tasks.

Regarding Lu Meng's political immaturity, Sun Quan thought that he still needed to study and temper, so he asked euphemistically: "Since Ziming knows that Wen Jue's qualifications are not enough, why do you still think he is more suitable, tell me your reasons." ”

Lu Meng analyzed from the military level: "As the so-called shame and courage, Ma Zhong was killed here by Long Xiang before, if Pan Wenqi uses this to inspire the soldiers, he will definitely be able to burst out with infinite strength."

"Makes sense, let me think about it and go back."

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to the side, took the reins of his mount from the hand of the attendant, and then raised his whip and went to the main tent of the Chinese army, and Lu Meng followed with a confused face.

The two of them walked outside the main tent and dismounted, and Sun Quan caught a glimpse of Sun Ben waiting inside, so he turned to Lu Meng and instructed: "Ziming, you go and send two more teams to patrol, don't let Long Xiang come to rob the camp and cause sabotage." ”

"E-only."

Lu Meng also saw Sun Ben at this time, and guessed that Sun Quan had private things to talk about with the other party.

The heart said that the lord, your excuse is really perfunctory, how dare Long Xiang come to rob the battalion of 100,000 troops? Isn't it the way to die?

Lu Meng left with his front foot, and Sun Ben immediately greeted him, clasped his fists and said, "Zhongmou is back, everything in the camp is safe, okay?" ”

"It's late at night, my brother hasn't rested yet, come to me for something?" While Sun Quan answered easily, he took off his cloak and handed it to the waiter in the tent.

"Zhongmou, I figured it out, attack the city as a vanguard."

Sun Ben struggled for several days, but still didn't want to give away the trilogy in vain.

He would rather take the risk to attack the city, but also hope to leave some parts, after all, Jiangdong has a good chance of winning this time, and he has prepared sufficient siege equipment, so he may not be able to lose much.

A general without a part is like a toothless tiger who will be teased as a big cat.

Seeing Sun Ben's solemn expression, Sun Quan reminded earnestly: "Brother, don't be reluctant, just now Lu Ziming also proposed Pan Wenqi to be a pioneer, and I am planning to give young people some opportunities." ”

Sun Ben waved his hand when he heard this: "It's not reluctant at all, young people want to give opportunities, but on such an important occasion, if I take the lead on behalf of the Sun family, I will definitely be able to boost the morale of the whole army." ”

"Since my brother insists on this, let's go back and get ready, and it is estimated that we will fight tomorrow."

Sun Quan had a smile on his face, but he ridiculed Sun Ben in his heart for thinking too much, all the generals in the army have friendships with Zhou Yu, with your current identity as a suspected murderer, I am afraid it will be difficult to inspire others.

"Talk"

Sun Ben hugged his fists in response, passed by Sun Quan's side when he left the camp, and couldn't help asking: "Zhongmou, can you make a friend with my brother?" I'm worried that Huo Chun won't recognize it."

"Don't worry, brother."

Sun Quan leaned on Sun Ben's ear and whispered: "Dead people can't speak, I found out that I saw him commit suicide by jumping into the water, maybe the murderer is this person, he should be instructed by someone, you should be a dragon."

"Huh? I saved it. ”

Sun Ben walked suspiciously to his camp, passing by the area where the army's grain and grass were stored on the way, and accidentally heard the whispers of several unloading soldiers.

"Do you know Yao Ji Firm?"

"Can you still know? It's on Zhenze East Street, right? I heard that a few pieces of cloth in the store can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, it is faster than grabbing, I have long been unpleasant, I heard that because it is Hefei fine work, a few days ago was secretly confiscated, everyone applauded. ”

"Hefei fine-worked? It's not that simple, I heard that half of the money Yao Xuan made from selling underwear was sent to Wuhou's mansion."

"Can't you? Don't dare to talk nonsense, you watch your head. ”

"How dare I talk nonsense? In the past few days, there has been a lot of rumors on the wharf of Wu County, saying that the account books of Yao Ji Commercial Bank have flowed out, and they are clearly written."

"Are the porters on the docks literate? It's a shame to spread this news indiscriminately, and someone must have deliberately caused trouble. ”

"Who's to say it isn't? The entire Jiangdong belongs to the lord, so there is no need to earn this black money, otherwise how can the money be apportioned to the military? ”

"It's good to know, keep your mouth shut."

Sun Ben listened to the churning, he knew Sun Quan better than Xiao Bing.

Although Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, it is impossible to spend money unscrupulously, and it is common sense to make money secretly.

And Sun Ben has heard of Yao Ji, and even his own family has ordered high-priced underwear in Yao Ji.

Could it be that Long Xiang is spreading rumors? Sun Ben sighed that fortunately, it was spread late, and if it had been earlier, it would have seriously affected the morale of the army.

Sun Ben originally planned to report to Sun Quan, but what did he have to do with himself in the end? Doing too much will make Sun Quan suspicious.
