Chapter 194: Night Attack on Xiakou!
The generals followed Huang Zu and left, leaving only Gan Ning standing alone in the tent.
Until everyone left, Gan Ning clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Huang Zu Lao'er, idiot!
Self-defeating!
Leaving only 3,000 people behind, trying to defend Jiangxia is just a fool's dream!
Today's Lujiang County is not the Lujiang County of the Yuan Shu period.
During the Yuan Shu period, Lujiang County was controlled by Liu Xun.
That Liu Xun was greedy for money and lustful, and had no ambition, so he never attacked Jiangxia.
But now, it is Zhu Zhi and Cheng Pu of Jiangdong who guard Lujiang County!
Moreover, the two also trained the navy in Lujiang County.
Both of them are also good at water warfare.
The most terrifying thing is that Hefei, which was newly incorporated into Lujiang County, was guarded by Zhang Liao.
Who is Zhang Liao?
That is a general from Bingzhou, who has followed Ding Yuan and Lu Bu all the way, and has fought so far, and he has extremely rich battlefield experience.
Moreover, good at cavalry.
Huang Zu Lao'er, he dared to expose Jiang Xia to the eyes of these three people-
Gan Ning walked out of the tent depressedly.
Isn't this a self-defeating end or what?
If this continues, I'm afraid that I will soon become a prisoner.
Gan Ning came to the dock alone, looked at the army being trained on the river, and let out a long sigh.
At the beginning, he failed in the Yizhou mutiny, and with a group of good brothers, he wanted to cross the river to Jiangdong to join him.
Who knows, he was intercepted by Huang Zu Lao'er, and he had to force himself to serve.
At the beginning, Huang Zu Lao'er would still listen to his own words.
Now, as he gets older, Huang Zu'er is becoming more and more dim.
This time, Jiang Xia must be buried in his hands.
But what can I do?
Now I have even received the last bit of military power-
After taking a few deep breaths, Gan Ning was still a little unwilling.
Turning around, he directly found Huang Jie and said, "Major General, our three thousand soldiers and horses are completely insufficient!" Now, the general has to lead the main force to aid Xiangyang, and we have only a dead end! Before the general has set out to fight, you can only persuade him. β
Huang Jie glanced at Gan Ning with disdain.
He had always disliked Gan Ning.
This Gan Ning is not a good person.
He was born as a river thief, and used to rob houses along the coast, and even intercepted merchant ships on the river, raping women from good families.
I don't know what my father suddenly went crazy about, when Gan Ning's army was defeated and Yizhou crossed the river, he actually stopped him and kept him as an official.
If it were him, he would have killed this Gan Ning a long time ago.
Look at his words and deeds in the tent today.
Look at him now facing himself as a young general, looking condescending and thinking he is in control of everything.
He really thought that he was a river thief, and he was even more powerful than a veteran like his father who had fought on the battlefield for more than ten years!
Huang Jie said coldly: "Gan Xingba, my father said a long time ago that the duty of a soldier is to listen to the tune. β
"My father has given the order, and everyone should carry it out."
"Besides, now, you're just an ordinary soldier."
Pointing at Gan Ning, Huang shot and said, "Come on, take this soldier out." I'm very busy with official business, how can I be in the mood to see every soldier? β
Several soldiers walked up quickly, pushing Gan Ning backwards.
Gan Ning knocked down a soldier directly with one punch.
Huang Jian suddenly stopped, drew his sword, and scolded: "Gan Ning, do you want to rebel?" β
In all directions, countless soldiers rushed over and quickly surrounded Gan Ning.
Gan Ning glanced around, looking at each of these familiar faces, their faces so gloomy that they could drip water.
These veterans who are not afraid of life and death are now dying at the hands of incompetent commanders!
Gan Ning roared angrily and slapped himself in the face.
He hates!
I hate myself for wasting all these years, and I would do things in the hands of a fool like Grandpa Huang!
If he hadn't been afraid of Huang Zu's stop and insisted on going to Jiangdong, he would have been a general in Jiangdong a long time ago!
When everyone saw that Gan Ning slapped himself angrily, they all didn't dare to come up.
Gan Ning turned around and walked directly out of the crowd.
Yellow shot almost burst into flames in his eyes.
A thief is a thief!
Dogs can't change eating!
I really thought that the barracks was his den of thieves, and he was used to being domineering!
One of the generals made a neck wipe gesture towards Huang.
Huang Jian waved his hand, inserted the saber back into its scabbard, and sneered, "There is no need. When my father rescues Xiangyang and returns, when the time comes, we will ridicule him again! One bite at a time, Lujiang is coming, it's really a joke. Now that Xiangyang is besieged, who can know such a confidential matter? β
After a pause, Huang Jie said to the general: "By the way, send someone to follow him." If he dared to leave the barracks, he would be arrested and thrown into prison to await his father's verdict. β
The general replied and walked away quickly.
Huang Jian said loudly to the others: "Everything is as usual, during this time, no one is allowed to talk nonsense." β
Fiction and reality.
It was impossible for Lujiang County to know about the siege of Xiangyang City so quickly, and secondly, he didn't know that his father had mobilized the main force to aid Xiangyang City.
How could they attack Jiangxia recklessly?
Do you really think that fighting is a bloody battle between river thieves?
It's all about strategy!
At nightfall, the generals of Jiangxia gathered at Xiakou with 6,000 troops.
And on the side of Lujiang County, there is no abnormal intelligence report.
Huang Zu instructed Huang Jie again, teaching him how to defend the city, how to pretend that nothing happened, and prevent Lujiang County from learning confidential information and attacking the city.
Huang shot down one by one.
Only then did Huang Zu personally lead an army of 6,000 and set off from Xiakou Port and went straight to Hanjin Port, preparing to aid Xiangyang.
The night passed.
There is still no movement in Lujiang County.
Early in the morning, Huang Jie woke up from his sleep and listened to the sergeant's report on the military situation.
Knowing that Jiangxia County was peaceful all around, and Lujiang County was as usual, Huang Jie shook his head with a smile.
Fortunately, my father didn't listen to Gan Ning's words from the river thief.
Otherwise, I really don't go to Xiangyang, but sit in Jiangxia, and when the time comes, Cai Mao will definitely be in the Huang family.
Moreover, although others don't know how Xianjingzhou Mu Liu Biao died, he knows.
Cai Mao had already sent a letter secretly before, telling his father and him.
Today, Jingzhou Mu is Liu Cong's waste.
That waste doesn't have any power at all.
While his father led the army to aid Xiangyang, he could also put pressure on Liu Cong and strive for more benefits for the Huang family.
The future Jingzhou is the world that truly belongs to the four major families!
At this time, if you don't fight for interests and let the other three families take the lead, how can the Huang family compare to the other three families in the future?
Especially the Cai family.
Huang Zu stretched, and Youzai got up and said, "Send a copy of this information to Gan Ning's river thief and let him shut up early." β
"Crow's mouth all day long, cursing Jiang Xia for the loss, what is his intention?"
"Tell him that my Jiangxia will be fine."
"If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"
The soldier replied and sent the intelligence document to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning glanced at this information, and his brows were twisted into knots.
Xiangyang is besieged, how can there be no news leaked out?
Lujiang County, how could there be no reaction?
It's so perverse.
He smelled dangerβ
The tranquility before the mountain rain is coming.
However, this time, he didn't go to Huang Shot again.
Huang Jian asked the soldier to give this information to himself, who had been removed from his position as a lieutenant and was now just an ordinary soldier, clearly trying to humiliate himself and shut himself up.
In this case, this kind of waste, what is the waste of tongue to remind him to do?
Gan Ning walked away quickly.
He's going to find his brothers.
Now Jiangxia will die.
His brothers, but they followed him from birth to death in his early years.
The others can't be saved, but they can't die in battle.
Time passed little by little.
Soon, night fell again.
Huang Jie was also busy enough for a day, not only to replace his father Huang Zu to deal with Jiangxia's government affairs, but also to patrol the Xiakou military camp.
After a busy day, I was ready to lie down and sleep.
The soldiers outside came to report again: Gan Ning gathered nearly thirty people and tried to sneak away from Xiakou, but was stopped by the soldiers and is currently being held in the dungeon.
Huang Jie rolled his eyes.
Fortunately, he was smart, and he had already done a hand, and sent people to keep an eye on him Gan Ning.
This Gan Ning is definitely going to surrender to the enemy.
Once he defects to the enemy and leaks Jiang Xia's current secrets, then Jiang Xia is in danger!
However, he will not kill him.
His father had always trusted him.
This time, when my father comes back, let my father know him enough: a thief is a thief, don't try to change him!
Blowing out the oil lamp, Huang Jie lay on the bed and covered the quilt while saying to the soldier, "Leave him alone." I'll rest for an hour, and you'll wake me up again. β
Late at night.
Fog gradually began to rise on the surface of the river.
The calm surface of the river, only the breeze blows, rolling up the river and gently lapping the shore.
The Jiangxia soldiers patrolling the dock were listlessly stationed on all sides.
In the thick fog, a warship was like a sharp blade, slowly cutting through the curtain formed by the thick fog.
As the warship emerged from the dense fog, behind it, warships quietly followed.
There were no open flames lit on these ships.
One by one, the soldiers squatted on the ground.
The first person is Xu Sheng, Ling Cao and Zhou Tai.
All three of them were armed with weapons on their backs, and their eyes were staring straight ahead, as if they were tigers that could choose to devour people at any time!
Although the fog was thick, they were still able to accurately determine the destination by the light of the fire on the Xiakou pier.
If you look closely, these warships are covered with the entire river!
At the back of these ships, on the deck of an extraordinarily large warship, stood more than a dozen generals.
Two of them were talking and laughing in a low voice, and they were Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi.
Both of them were more excited.
A month ago, Zhu Zhi received a bag sent to him by Lu Yi from Jingzhou, asking him to arrange his troops and horses, ready to attack Jiangxia at any time, and then take the opportunity to take Xiangyang directly.
For this reason, this month, he had already arranged for him to sneak into various places in Jiangxia.
Not just among the people, but also in the barracks!
Huang Zu led an army of 6,000 to aid Xiangyang yesterday, and they got the information yesterday.
However, they have dragged on to this day.
In this way, once the night attack on Xiakou and capture Jiangxia, even if Huang Zu knew about it, he would not be able to turn back to the rescue.
At the same time, they also contacted Zhang Liao in Hefei.
Zhu Zhi agreed with him that once accurate information was obtained, he, Zhu Zhi, together with Cheng Pu, would lead 40,000 sailors to attack Xiakou from the river at night.
Zhang Liao led 800 iron cavalry and 5,000 infantry to Jiangxia by land.
Once Zhu Zhi and Cheng Pu's 40,000 naval army took Xiakou, the Jiangxia defenders would definitely flee by land.
At that time, I will meet Zhang Liao's army from the land-
Take down Jiangxia!
Everything is under control!
Seeing that the army was not allowed to travel three miles from the Xiakou Wharf, a panicked scream sounded from the shore: "Enemy attack! Enemies on the river! Quickly report to the Major General! β
