Chapter 61: Crossing the River in White

Dong Huang was a little tired.

Since he became a war agent, he has not fought for a month, and his thighs have been cocooned by horseback riding. Sometimes, the cocoons are rough and the delicate skin of the horses is reddened.

Zou Ying, who vowed to be a cow and a horse for Dong Huang, has a deep understanding of this.

These days, it is not easy to be a cow or a horse.

In short, Dong Huang couldn't move a little, and after achieving the strategic goal of recovering Wancheng, he didn't want to move.

Dong Huang will be tired, and so will the elite under him, who will fight in three or four states in a few months, although they will win every battle, but the consumption of energy is also very large, and the soldiers also want to rest and relax.

Not only the soldiers, but even Dong Huangjun's horses were starving and thin, and many died.

In this case, Dong Huang chose to accept the surrender of Liu Xun and others.

This is the first time that Dong Huang has been surrendered in the formation system, and Dong Huang found that this kind of surrender without a fight actually has the income of war points, and according to the prompts, the income from the surrender of war points is about half of the income of the total annihilation of this army.

This made Dong Huang realize that it was not only the only choice to kill the enemy head-on.

Sometimes it's more cost-effective to take in enemy troops, especially if you're taking in some high-tier troops.

Although there is a high probability that these classes will not be able to bring out this world, they can also play a great role in this world! Otherwise, relying only on Dong Huang's soldiers and horses with unlimited war space would not be enough to stuff his teeth.

After Liu Xun surrendered, the forward forces of Dong Huang's department suddenly advanced to Xinye, one step away from Xiangyang, which shocked Wang Rui and others three times a day.

"Dong thieves are moving so fast, I'm afraid the next step is our entire Jingzhou, we must take advantage of the opportunity that they are not firmly established and are busy collecting and surrendering Yuan Shu's army, and immediately launch an attack on Dong Huang's army, strike first and catch them off guard!"

At the military meeting, Cai Mao, a general under Wang Rui, spoke first.

The Cai family is one of the four major families in Jingzhou, and the four major families in Jingzhou have always been closely related, married to each other, and have the same spirit, and are the emperor of the soil in Jingzhou.

Cai Mao's own aunt was the wife of Zhang Wen, the Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his eldest sister married Huang Chengyan to become a step-family, and is currently marrying his second sister to Wang Rui - in the original history, his second sister married Liu Biao.

In addition to women's diplomacy, Cai Mao herself is also quite capable, and Cai Mao also played an important role in Wang Rui's confrontation with Sun Jian and the sect thief, and in the process of gaining a firm foothold in Jingzhou. And he also made friends with Wang Rui's most trusted clansman, Wang Lun.

Such an identity makes him have a very important voice in Wang Rui.

In Cai Mao's opinion, Dong Zhuojun is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is also a landlubber, how much strength can he exert in Jingzhou, which is full of water networks?

There is a way to be a south ship and a north horse.

The northern horseback riding is good at bumping up and down, and the front and back collision, but the southern rowing pays attention to the lower plate and the bow is left and right, and the skills are different!

Moreover, now that Liu Xun's army has just surrendered, the army's morale is unstable, and it is a good opportunity to attack.

After relieving the immediate crisis, he used the naval army to defend Xiangyang, and finally found a way to quell the rebellion in Jiangxia and Jingnan.

Cai Mao's analysis was the head, at this moment, he felt that he had been possessed by Jiang Shang and Zhang Liang, and the landlubber disappeared while talking and laughing.

"General, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to act like this!"

The one who spoke out against it was Wen Ping, who was also from a big family.

Because of qualifications and other reasons, Wen Ping's status in the army is not particularly high, but he is also one of the few generals who can speak in front of Wang Rui, not to mention that he feels that he is dedicated to the public, so he has no scruples.

"Dong Huang is a general under Dong Zhuo, and he has rarely been defeated since his debut, and now he is so blatantly recruiting Yuan Shu to surrender the army, I am afraid it is his plan to lure the enemy!"

"As the general said, Dong Zhuo's army is not good at water warfare, so our army should take this opportunity to rely on the water network to deploy troops, so that Dong Huang's cavalry advantage can not be brought into play, and until the summer rainy season, Dong Huang's army will retreat; If our army takes the initiative to meet it, in case of an ambush by Dong Huang's army, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Wen Ping said loudly.

"Hmph, young general, what do you know?"

Cai Mao scolded angrily.

Although Cai Mao felt that what Wen Ping said was somewhat reasonable, he still refuted it when he felt that his face was damaged.

Claiming to be the first person to lead troops under Wang Rui, Cai Mao did not allow his authority to be provoked.

At this moment, Cai Mao's first consideration is not the military, but officialdom! In officialdom, maintaining authority can be more important than military victory or defeat!

This is like the party and government at the end of the Ming Dynasty, all parties are not thinking about "if we go to the party and government, the Ming Dynasty will not be saved", but "if we don't kill these bastards, the Ming Dynasty will not be saved"!

Seeing that his subordinates were arguing, Wang Rui, who was indecisive, couldn't help but set his eyes on his nephew Wang Lun and the strategist Kuai Liang Kuaiyue.

He felt that at this time, he needed to brainstorm ideas.

Of course, brainstorming can also be seen as indecision.

"I have a naval army, I can go north along the Han River overnight, and if I am surprised, I will be able to break Liu Xun's department."

As a war agent, Wang Lun is obviously also the main battle, only war, can you get war points, survive, and become stronger.

"Besides, Xiangyang Jiancheng is surrounded by water on three sides, even if our army is defeated, we can hold on to Xiangyang City, why be afraid of the thief army!"

Wang Lun once again gave Wang Rui a reassurance.

Since being defeated by Sun Jian, Wang Lun has learned from the pain and began to think about what his advantages are?

The land war is definitely not the opponent of Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo and the like, since this is the case, why not develop a naval army?

If you can use the navy to divide Jingzhou and Jiangdong, wouldn't it be a Great Wei Wu King!

If you can become the king of Wu of Great Wei, this time the task is still unstable?

Thinking of this, Wang Lun began to advise Wang Rui to vigorously develop the water army, and eventually helped Wang Rui establish an absolute superiority in the water power that surpassed the princes.

Seeing that the lord's quasi-brother-in-law and nephew were bent on fighting, the Kuai brothers, who were very good at being people, naturally did not want to pour cold water, so they had to be ambiguous and muddy.

For a while, it is said that the enemy is unprepared, which is the opportunity to break the enemy; After a while, he said that it was not the rainy season, and it was difficult to give full play to the advantages of the water army; After a while, he emphasized that Wang Lun and Cai Mao are both first-class talents in the world; After a while, he said that what Wen Ping said also made a little sense.

Featuring a nonsense literature.

We need to find the crux of the problem, how to find the crux of the problem? That's to find the key question!

As a result, Wang Rui, who was fooled and confused, really found the key problem: his most urgent problem was that he was afraid of Dong Zhuo's army coming, and he was eager to calm people's hearts with a victory.

Therefore, Wang Rui finally made a decision - play! and handed over this operation to his nephew Wang Lun to personally command.

The high-spirited Wang Lun stood at the bow of the boat in white, quite the style of a white-clothed showman.

The fleet led by Wang Lun, the soldiers on it were also dressed in white and pretending to be merchants, and they walked mightily.

Obviously, the white-clothed Xiushi was crossing the river in the white-clothed cos of Lu Meng.

Not to mention, he really succeeded this time.
