Chapter 114: Crossing the River in White

"Jiang Qin listened to the order and ordered you to lead the naval army north from Xiakou, be sure to block the Han River, and temporarily block Guan Yu's army from coming back to help!"

"Xu Sheng and Ding Feng ordered you to be the vanguard, lead the merchant ships first, and uproot the Jingzhou military outposts along the way, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Han Dang, Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai, and you immediately ordered the soldiers to board the ship and wait for the troops. In addition, the person immediately reported back to Jianye, so that the Supreme could prepare a follow-up army to come to meet ......"

Just when the second master was looking at Lukou from afar outside Fancheng, worried about whether the fish would enter the net, in the commander's tent of the Jiangdong Army Battalion in Lukou, Jiangxia, Lu Meng, who was supposed to be recuperating in Jianye, appeared here at this moment, and gave orders instead of Lu Xun, the right governor.

It turned out that just two days after the second master and Yu Ban made an agreement to fight in a dignified manner, Jiangdong Hosaku had already sent the news back to Lukou quickly.

As for LΓΌ Meng, not long after Liu Chan led his army to leave Jiangling, he was appointed as the governor of the capital by Sun Quan, and led 30,000 Jiangdong troops to secretly arrive at Lukou from Xunyang in a big ship.

Of course, it is said to be a secret, but in fact, it is just the self-righteousness of the people up and down Koto. With the powerful spy network of Skynet, Liu Chan, who was also secretly stationed in Maicheng, had long been familiar with Lu Meng's actions.

"Bo Yan, it's almost time, it's time for me to go!"

Just two hours after Xu Sheng and Ding Feng set off with the vanguard army disguised as merchant ships, Lu Meng, who had been deducing the course of the battle on the map, stood up at the location of Jiangling with a 'snap' palm.

In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, in mid-July, just like the battle of Hanzhong and the battle of Xiangfan in advance, the battle of Jingzhou, which was supposed to wait until October of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, also began in advance under the inducement of Liu Chan.

……

"Who are you, don't you see that this is a military stronghold? No boat stops here, get out of here! ”

To the west of Baqiu, in a Jingzhou military camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River, looking at several merchant ships docking at the river, several Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to drive away.

"Master Qiyu, we are all merchants who went to Jiangling to purchase goods. It's just that because of the strong wind in the river and the late weather, we are afraid that the boat will capsize, so I will avoid it here, and I hope that you military masters will make it convenient. ”

While begging softly with a smiling face, Xu Sheng, who was dressed as a businessman in white, hurriedly took out a few golden horseshoes from his arms and stuffed them towards the other party.

"It turned out to be a merchant who went to Jiangling to buy goods, and there was no defense against the strong wind on the river. But this is a military stronghold, so you can't stay too long......"

Checking the gold in their hands, several smiling Jingzhou soldiers suddenly became 'reasonable'.

"Thank you for your kindness, I still have some wine and meat ...... when I get off the boat."

Seeing that the defenders had let down their guard, Xu Sheng immediately put on a flattering smile again, and waved his hand to ask the 'guys' on the boat to quickly move the wine and meat down.

"Haha, the shopkeeper is too polite, the riverside is windy, let's go to the camp and sit down!"

First the golden road, and then there was a gag of wine and meat, how could the Jingzhou army still hold it, and in a blink of an eye, it changed from reasonable to hospitable.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is still a lot of wine and meat, how about you let the brothers on the beacon come down and drink some wine?"

In the camp of the Jingzhou army, after three rounds of drinking, he looked up at the two Jingzhou soldiers who poked their heads out on the beacon tower on the high place to watch, and Xu Sheng immediately held the wine bowl and looked at the Jingzhou army commander led by him.

"Beacon land, no...... Do not leave anyone. Dogs, send them some wine and meat. ”

Hearing Xu Sheng's proposal, the captain led by him finally did not completely forget his duties, but he shook his head and did not agree, but just asked people to send wine and meat to the peak fire platform.

"The captain is really dedicated! But just let them go for this kind of trivial matter, how can they bother the military masters. ”

Seeing the sergeant named 'Gouzi' reluctantly get up, Xu Sheng hurriedly waved his hand to beckon two 'guys', picked up the wine and meat and sent him to the beacon tower.

"Shopkeeper Xu is really too polite, you lazy people, don't you want to give Shopkeeper Xu a bowl!"

For Xu Sheng's hospitality, the captain did not refuse, but was a little embarrassed to let his sergeants toast him.

"Haha, thanks to your military masters for allowing me to stay, it's just a little thing, it's all as it should be......"

Seeing that the two 'guys' had successfully entered the beacon tower, Xu Sheng immediately put his mind at ease, picked up the wine bowl and toasted the other party again.

"It's just that there is a reluctant request below, I hope you military masters can agree!"

A bowl of wine went down, but Xu Sheng laughed loudly, and Huo stood up.

"Oh? I don't know what the shopkeeper Xu......"

"Since you military masters are so kind to Xu, how can you not reciprocate? In this way, I invite you to go to Koto for a while, hahahaha! ”

Without waiting for the captain to finish speaking, accompanied by Xu Sheng's laughter, the caravan guys who were still busy serving just now were putting sharp daggers on the necks of these Jingzhou soldiers one after another.

"You ...... Who the hell are you? ”

Feeling the chill from his own weapon around his neck, Jingzhou Jun, who was already a little drunk, instantly sobered up.

"Hahahaha, I've remembered everything, this 'shopkeeper' is surnamed Xu Mingsheng!"

Looking at the frightened Jingzhou soldiers, Xu Sheng couldn't help but laugh proudly.

"Jiangdong Army!"

Hearing Xu Sheng's self-report, the Jingzhou army reacted and fell in love with the Jiangdong army.

"Put them all in the cabin for Ben's 'shopkeeper'!"

Ignoring the exclamations of the Jingzhou army, Xu Sheng stretched out his hand and waved, and the Jingzhou army was escorted to the big boat leaning on the riverside and imprisoned.

In this way, without making half a sound, this beacon tower of the Jingzhou Army fell into the hands of the Jiangdong Army.

And this scene is not only happening in this one place. All the Jingzhou army beacons west of Baqiu were like this, and they did not play half of the due early warning role at all.

"Come on, report back to the Metropolitan Governor quickly, all the beacons along the river have been cleaned up!"

……

"Wen Xiang, Cheng Yuan, are those captured Jingzhou troops still there?"

In the middle of the night, on the river not far from the public security, Lu Meng, who led most of the captains to drive straight to the smooth arrival, looked at Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, who came with the order, but hurriedly asked about the Jingzhou soldiers who were captured by the two.

"General Hui, according to the general's orders, these Jingzhou troops were all imprisoned in the ship and were not killed. I don't know what the general wants? ”

Seeing Lu Meng's solemn expression, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Haha, it's good to be still there. Whether we can take the police tonight or not will be up to them! ”
