At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many Hao chieftain tribes in the mountainous areas of Huoshan, Ma'anshan and Huangshan in the two counties of Lujiang and Danyang.

They survived in rugged areas that the Han people could not look down on, relying entirely on the water network of various tributaries of the Yangtze River on the edge of the mountainous area, and their living customs were also half-Han and half-mountainous.

The young and strong men of these tribes often show courage when they go to the battlefield, but the military discipline is also very loose and extremely difficult to command - these troops have a unified name, called "Danyang soldiers".

At that time, the general He Jin recruited Danyang soldiers, so Xuzhou Mu Taoqian also liked to recruit, and Liu Bei's army now has 3,000 Danyang soldiers.

At this moment, Zhang Duo, who was forced by Chen Lan to fight Zhang Fei to the death, strictly speaking, can be regarded as a "Danyang thief handsome".

Only a few months ago, in the mountainous area around Chaohu Lake in Lujiang County, there were three major Danyang thief forces, Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Qian.

Later, Zheng Bao, who was the most powerful, actually wanted to plot wrongdoing, and tried to coerce some Han clan relatives to be his façade, so he chose Liu Ye, who lived in Lujiang.

Liu Ye didn't want to be the first bird, so he attacked and killed Zheng Bao at the banquet, and said that the rebellion would only attract the court to exterminate him, and it was better to be in Zhao'an.

The group of uneducated guys were actually frightened by Liu Ye, and then there was a split, and they were unwilling to defect to Xu Qian and continue to be thieves.

Those who were willing to Zhao'an voted for Zhang Duo, and then Liu Ye helped Zhang Duo to return to Liu Xun, who was too guarded, and he was considered to have eaten the establishment.

Zhang Duo has no ambitions, he was originally a water coward, and after following Liu Xun, he can hide and hide, and try not to participate in the fight.

It's just a mixture of imperial food to eat, what kind of life is playing.

This time, Liu Xun attacked Huaiyin and needed to gather materials to Guangling, so he found Zhang Duo to be responsible for water transportation and escort on the Yangtze River.

Last night, Yuan Jun counterattacked Zhang Fei in the first wave, Zhang Duo did not participate, his troops are naval forces, and of course professional people should be allowed to fight to the death on land.

And the city Chinese official, originally Liu Ye, the new meritorious Cao, had the most right to speak.

Liu Ye is a person who protects himself, so he secretly covers the related households and does not let Zhang Duo's subordinates die too much.

It's a pity that this consideration of the interests of the small group was finally broken with Chen Lan's return to Guangling City.

After all, Chen Lan is a lieutenant, and when Liu Xun is not there, of course he has the final say in the military, and Liu Ye can't overstep his responsibilities with a single gongcao, so he can only suggest.

Zhang Duo was ordered to take sailors to storm the city wall, and he was so miserable that he pleaded, Liu Ye didn't dare to let him disobey directly, but just ordered:

"I'll go to Captain Chen to say yes, but it's not good for you to disobey military orders. Let's drum up the momentum first and give Chen Duwei a face. ”

Zhang Duo believed Liu Ye's promise and attacked Zhang Fei with a bitter face.

It's a pity that this kind of mentality of not working hard, how can it beat the determined Zhang Fei? Even if Zhang Duo's troops were three times that of the enemy, it would still be useless.

The two sides began to shout and attack in the early morning, but in fact, they fought for more than an hour and made no progress at all.

Zhang Fei was like a big enemy at first, but later found that the enemy was so weak that the thunder and rain were small, which was worse than the first half of last night, there was no pressure at all, and Zhang Fei was also puzzled.

……

After Zhang Duo was forced to work, Liu Ye estimated that his posture was also sufficient. Only then did Chen Lan take advantage of the fact that after a little rest, after breakfast, and when she seemed to be in a good mood, she asked to meet the other party and stated her strategy.

Chen Lan didn't look down on Liu Ye very much in her heart, mainly because she felt that Liu Ye was too young, and she relied on selling her teammates to get to the top - Liu Ye was only eighteen years old, and the only credit before that was to kill Zheng Bao and introduce his subordinates to accept Liu Xun's Zhao'an.

This kind of thing is nothing in the eyes of scholars, but for the mixed rivers and lakes martial artists who were born as thieves and water thieves, it is a very unrighteous taboo.

Chen Lan is a Huo thief, and he still has some sympathy and a sense of substitution for Zheng Bao's experience.

So when the two discussed, Chen Lan didn't give Liu Ye any good looks, and first sarcastically said: "Mr. is really a good strategy, the plan of the prince to attack Huaiyin has also been seen by Mr., and our army completely implemented it, and finally fought like this!" ”

Liu Ye was speechless for a while, Liu Xun's general plan before sending troops, he had a vision, and he also expressed his affirmation. But he really felt that Liu Xun and Ji Ling were stable and had no flaws.

Later, the front sent back the military information, saying that Liu Bei's Xiapi was stolen, and Liu Ye felt even more stable. He also patted some sycophants in his reply, wishing Liu Xun's military exploits at his fingertips, which is also human nature-

Liu Ye in history is such a goods, decades later Cao Rong asked him if he could cut Shu, and he said that he could. Other important ministers were unstoppable with him, and he also followed the other party.

In the end, Cao Rong Junchen reconciled the account, and Liu Ye's "ah, yes, yes, yes" was also a gang, and his reputation was ruined.

However, at the moment, Liu Ye felt that it had nothing to do with him at all.

Liu Xun's original plan was indeed fine, but the ghost knows what happened at the execution level later, which made Liu Bei's sudden desperate combat power explosion several times stronger?

Liu Ye had to endure the humiliation and laugh, and said to Chen Lanfen, and then put forward his own response suggestions: "General, now is not the time to be held responsible!" For today's plan, I think Zhang Fei's sneak attack is not easy to repel it, you let Zhang Duo attack with all his might, maybe it will be in Zhang Fei's arms, so that he can smoothly consume more of our army's troops! ”

When Chen Lan heard this, she replied with a smile: "Then what do you say?" Is it to run away directly and abandon Guangling? ”

Liu Ye suppressed his emotions for a while, and continued to say calmly: "Guangling is not lost, it's hard to say right now. The war is like this, and we can't take it back with our own troops.

can only hope that Fu Jun's defeated army can rush back as soon as possible and eliminate Zhang Fei with absolute superiority, but if Liu Bei arrives before Fu Jun, it will be all over. ”

Chen Lan said angrily: "You are really disloyal, you just want to protect yourself!" ”

Liu Ye sneered: "I'm not unfaithful!" Just be prepared! Strategizing, naturally, consider the worst-case scenario! What's more, even if I lose Guangling for a while, I still have a plan to help the prince turn defeat into victory and finally defeat Liu Bei! As long as we are well prepared, throw it more cleverly and pave the way for the future! ”

When Chen Lan heard this, she laughed angrily: "Don't want to forge ahead!" Do you still have the face to say that you have a long-term plan? Then you can talk about it, how to lose Guangling, so that you can lose defeat into victory! ”

Liu Ye tried to see the dagger: "It's very simple, the crisis Liu Bei is facing is not something that can be stabilized by victory on the frontal battlefield, his biggest problem is that he lost his chances, the soldiers' families fell into the hands of the enemy, and the few cities he controlled did not hoard surplus grain!"

He is now so anxious for Zhang Fei to counterattack Guangling, and even risked a sneak attack, which shows that he is about to run out of food and has taken a fancy to Guangling's grain storage! As long as we hurry up and take advantage of Zhang Fei's failure to control the city, we can transport the surplus grain from the government treasury back to Lujiang as much as possible.

Even if it is lost in the end, it can be burned too late and not left to Liu Bei. In this way, Liu Bei only got an empty city without food, and in less than a month or two, his army would still be hungry and scattered!

I suspect that this time Liu Bei was able to maintain the military spirit for so long and finally counterattack, there must be someone who instructed him to block the news. But after this battle, the loss of Xiapi will not be sealed, and it is entirely possible that Liu Beijun will be dispersed even if he wins! We must not be blinded by the defeat in front of us, let alone by Liu Bei's temporary small victory! ”

Chen Lan was dumbfounded when he heard this, he only felt that the hearts of these people who played tactics were too dirty.

What kind of despicable and shameless play is this? Guangling City is obviously still in the hands of Yuan Jun for the time being, but he actually thought of burning the granary and not leaving it to Liu Bei?

Chen Lan was greedy for money, so he let him burn the military rations he controlled in advance to lose both, how could he do it?

Of course, he scolded Liu Ye, and Liu Ye also argued with him, saying:

"Even if you don't burn grain, it is impossible for the follow-up Fujun to attack Huaiyin again, and there is no need to stock up so much military food in front. At the very least, we should hurry up and rush some of it back. ”

Chen Lan still doesn't agree with this statement.

In the end, Liu Ye still persuaded repeatedly, and did not hesitate to hint or even explicitly indicate that Chen Lan could make false accounts and overreport the war damage of the grain transported and privately divide a part, so Chen Lan reluctantly agreed to him, a civil official, to act on his own.

And Liu Ye finally got his wish, and his relationship Zhang Duo was fished out of the drudgery of attacking Zhang Fei.

Only Zhang Duo is now the general of the naval army in Guangling City, and he can only count on Zhang Duo's people to do it when he rushes to transport part of the stored grain back to Lujiang.

……

Another hour later, outside the city of Guangling, at the mouth of the Hangou River.

Zhuge Jin is still sitting on his fast boat sent by the Mi family, watching the progress and dealing with emergencies at any time.

Suddenly, the lookout on the ship shouted loudly: "Sir, a large fleet of ships from the Southeast Water Gate is coming to us!" ”

Zhuge Jin was taken aback, thinking that the enemy realized that there were people here who crossed the river in white clothes and provided Zhang Fei with siege equipment and military supplies, so they came to search for him.

"Hurry up! Run down the river at full speed! Leave a few sentinel boats to continue to watch and report at any time! ”

Zhuge Jin hurriedly ordered, and the fleet directly cut the rope of the bolt stone and fled more than ten miles away.

Fortunately, after a long time, I didn't find those Yuan Jun fleets chasing downstream, but instead sailed upstream and returned upstream. After the remaining sentinel ship inquired about the situation, it immediately reported truthfully to Zhuge Jin in the security zone.

Zhuge Jin was stunned again, unable to understand what was going on at all.

Later, I heard reports one after another, saying that the fleet from Guangling was endless, and there were many of them.

Zhuge Jin came to his senses, and he hurriedly chased after the sergeant of the sentry boat and asked a few details: "How about the draft of the enemy ship?" If it is fully loaded, how many people can be transported? ”

The sergeant of the sentry ship replied truthfully, saying that all the ships had a deep draft, and could carry at least tens of thousands of people if they were used to transport people.

Zhuge Jin twisted the fan for a while, and then suddenly realized:

"This must be because Liu Xunjun's morale is about to collapse, and he feels that he can't hold it, so some people want to withdraw first? But Yide has not yet taken the city, which means that there are still a lot of defenders left in the city, and the few people who escaped will not need so much capacity, and the excess capacity must be used to transport things......"

Zhuge Jin finally guessed that they might have transported the valuable materials away first to prepare for the orderly loss of the city.

This kind of thing is very common, when Liu Bei and Ji Ling fought the battle of Xuyi more than half a month ago, Liu Bei also did this, he retreated in an orderly manner, and finally did not leave any food for Ji Ling.

It's a pity that Zhuge Jin only has two or three hundred sailors and guards around him, adding up to more than a dozen large and small ships, and he is powerless to stop them.

This is the helplessness of the weak, sometimes even if you see through a little clue, you don't have the capital to end up with a hand.

The only thing Zhuge Jin could do was to send another messenger to contact Zhang Fei and tell Zhang Fei about this speculation, so as to further stabilize Zhang Fei's confidence and make him believe that "the enemy has been cowardly and has begun to transfer supplies and some second-line troops and sailors, and Guangling will definitely be successfully captured."

As long as Zhang Fei is told the news, Zhang Fei's morale will be more stable, and the soldiers will be more confident.

Of course, in addition to giving Zhang Feigu confidence, Zhuge Jin did not forget to explain: Since the enemy intends to retreat in an orderly manner, then we must not prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall in a hurry and setting fire to the remaining materials in the city.

Guangling's materials are the key to Liu Beijun's persistence now!

……

All the trends of the battle situation, in the end, were in accordance with the manipulation of Zhuge Jin and Liu Ye, the two cowardly military advisors, raised high and gently put down.

Seeing that no one can help anyone, everyone is leaving a way back for themselves.

After fighting with Zhang Fei all morning, Zhang Duo retreated one after another without making any effort, and by the evening, they were all gone.

In front of him, Liu Xunjun, who was running fast, fled back and was collected by Chen Lan, but this was not enough to form a decisive combat force to make up for it.

At this time, Chen Lan also mostly thought that Guangling was difficult to protect, and the only hope was to see Liu Xun and Liu Bei, which side arrived first.

It dragged on until late at night, and everything was finally revealed.

Liu Bei, with 6,000 infantry, marched 260 miles in two days and one night, and rushed to the north of Guangling County.

And Liu Xun hasn't appeared until this moment, and he doesn't know where he ran when he collapsed and bombed the camp that day.

Chen Lan was furious for a while, and in the end, he could only resist a little, so he took his cavalry and some descendants who could keep up, abandoned the city and fled.

But at the last moment, he still remembered Liu Ye's advice and set a fire in the treasury.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei reacted quickly, and he was reminded by Zhuge Jin in the afternoon, so he did his homework in advance and tortured the locations and roads of several key locations in the city from the prisoners.

At this moment, seeing that the direction of the treasury was on fire, Zhang Fei didn't care about waiting for the eldest brother to meet, so he personally led the army down the wall, killed along the long street, and went all the way to the treasury.

As soon as Chen Lan set fire to retreat about a cup of tea, Zhang Fei was like a mad tiger to kill, killing the remaining remnants of the surrounding enemies, organizing people to fight the fire with all their might, and at least tearing down some isolation belts or rescuing some materials if they couldn't save them.

……

As soon as Liu Bei entered the city, he immediately rushed to the northeast city tower to see if the third brother was okay.

As a result, he pounced, Zhang Fei was no longer there, and he only saw Zhuge Jin, who was watching the battle from afar on the city tower.

Zhuge Jin also confirmed that the main force of reinforcements had arrived, so he let the fleet dock and let the three hundred sailors escort him to the city so that he could conduct a slight operation nearby.

"Ziyu? How can you get into danger? Why don't you hide back to the castle tower to avoid the arrows! This is not where you should be! When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Jin, he thought that the other party had suddenly changed his temperament and became heroic, but he didn't expect it at all.

Zhuge Jin didn't try to be famous, Yun Danfeng explained lightly: "How can you be a reckless person in Xia, just now I saw that the general's reinforcements were coming, and I just entered the city to see Yide, because I was afraid that he didn't know the priority of the pursuit-

Looking at the flames of the treasury in the distance, Yuan Jun must have a wise man, thinking of the weakness of our army, and wanting to burn the granary before retreating! If the general wants to find virtue, he will go to the place where the fire is fiercest, and he will surely find it. ”

Zhuge Jin said while pointing to the distant firelight with a pu fan, Liu Bei was stunned, looked down, and then suddenly jumped to his feet: "Sir, sit down for a while!" Come when you go! ”

Saying that, Liu Bei stepped on the war horse again, and galloped away with his guards in the direction of Zhang Fei's firefighting.
