Chapter 239: Secretly crossing the Wujiang River

"Tell me, how should this battle be fought?" asked the Ten Governors.

"I have something I don't understand?" Sun Jin, the governor of Yuezhou, stood up and asked, "Why did we come here with such fanfare, lest the Japanese wouldn't know?

"That's a good question!" "I'll leave this task to you, I don't care what method you use, anyway, it's better to make the north bank of the Wujiang River as big as possible, and it's best to make the Japanese think that a million troops are coming!"

"Yes, the last general commands!" replied Sun Jin with a bow.

Qian Kang, the governor of Hengzhou, stood up at this time and said, "Dashuai, I have an idea. Today I have observed the other side for a long time, the reason why the Japanese have not crossed the river so far, they are waiting for the opportunity, now is the spring flood period, the water is deep and the waves are high, the boats are easy to capsize, as long as the spring flood passes, I estimate that they will have to cross the river. So we have to hurry up and take advantage of the unpreparedness of them during the spring flood season to catch them off guard!"

Zhao Jingzhi, the governor of Yizhou, nodded and said: "Dashuai, Qian Lao'er's words are reasonable, the key is how to catch the Japanese by surprise? Since it is the spring flood, it is difficult for them to cross the river, and it is also difficult for us to cross, so we have to think of a way to cross the river, and it is best to cross the river during the spring flood." ”

Yang Meng, the governor of Dongzhou, said: "Boss Zhao, your words are tantamount to fart, but you have an idea! Dashuai, I have an idea for you to decide! I think the reason why Dashuai wants to make a big move on the north bank of the Wujiang River is because he doesn't want the Japanese to know the purpose of our crossing the river. I think it is much easier for our army to gather ships and quietly go a hundred miles upstream, and then cross the river down the river than to cross it, and it is not easy to be detected by the pirates. I deliberately sent people to reconnoiter along the way, and Qiwudu, a hundred miles upstream of our camp, has a flat and wide river, which is suitable for crossing the river, but the opposite bank is a high mountain, but thirty miles down the river is a gentle white sand bar, which is very suitable for the army to go ashore. ”

"Governor Yang's idea is good! I approve of it!" said Zhou Tong, the governor of Daozhou. Zhou Tong is the son of Zhou Dao, the former governor of Daozhou, Huang Ying's cousin, and Huang Ying's deputy.

At this time, Zhou Fu, the governor of Tanzhou, also stood up and said: "Governor Yang's idea is very good! I can send our Yunying Heavenly Soldiers to the periphery of Baisha Prefecture on the other side of the river to reconnoiter and deploy defenses, and take over my army crossing the river." ”

The other governors nodded in agreement, and discussed many details on how to collect ships, fuel, and how to use rockets. In the end, Xiao Nan clapped his hands, and everyone suddenly calmed down, waiting for Xiao Nan to officially issue the military order.

I heard Xiao Nan smile and grin: "Grandma, let you say everything you should say, Lao Tzu is still talking about a fart! You have all thought of it, Lao Tzu has not thought of it! Okay, just do what you say!"

The Ten Governors were immediately overjoyed, smiling one by one. Xiao Nan waved his hand and continued: "Sun Laosan, you take 50,000 men and horses from your headquarters to stay on the north bank of the Wujiang River, make the movement as big as possible, and attract the attention of the Japanese invaders. ”

"This is too easy, isn't it?, then we don't have a chance to fight?" Sun Jin was a little unhappy.

"Some battles are fought, and the next time you will be the vanguard!"

Sun Jin didn't dare to resist the order, so he had to say: "The last general will obey the order!

Xiao Nan glared at him and said, "Fart! When did I say that it doesn't count?" The remaining 450,000 soldiers and horses will march westward from now on, collect ships along the way, and assemble at Qiwudu tomorrow evening to cross the river overnight. Governor Yang Meng, please be the vanguard; Boss Zhao, you are the back; Zhou Fu, you order the Yunying Heavenly Soldiers, quickly collect fuel, prepare enough rockets, cross the river tonight, and set up a garrison on the periphery of Baishazhou to strictly prevent leakage of news! The army crossing the river asks Marshal Huang Ying to take unified command, and General Qin Chuan assists; Uncle Wuwu, please protect the two of them!"

Huang Ying, Xiao Chuan, and Wuwu knew that the military situation was important, and they couldn't play with it, so they nodded and agreed.

Xiao Nan continued: "The others, wait for me, cross the river with the Cloud Eagle Heavenly Soldiers in advance. What is being discussed today is a top secret! Only do it, don't say it, and if there is a leaker, there will be no forgiveness!"

"Whoa!" everyone stood up and said in unison.

The next day, in the evening, Xiao Nan, Xiao Ku, A Zhuang, Liu Hai, Meng Qing, Meng Yao and other Xiangjun generals stood on the Baishazhou, waiting for the Xiangjun army to go down the river from Qiwudu upstream.

The small difficulty has already been carried out with the heart, and the atmosphere and the Wujiang River water connection, is at this time the breeze is not strong, the waves do not do, the soldiers of Xiangjun all think that it is the beauty of the heavens, bless the army of Xiangjun, more enthusiastic and angry, high morale. On the eve of dawn, the 450,000 troops all quietly crossed the Wujiang River. Worry-free protection of Huang Ying and Xiaochuan also converged with Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan whispered a few words in Xiao Ku's ear, Xiao Ku nodded and left quickly with bangs, worry-free, Meng Qing, and Meng Yao.

Then Xiao Nan gave orders to the major governors who crossed the river, and the governors also quickly left with their own soldiers and horses after receiving the order.

After Xiao Nan gave the military order, he sat on the bank of the river with a pale face. Xiao Chuan, Huang Ying, and the guards immediately surrounded him. Xiao Chuan was in a hurry, he didn't care about anything else, he picked up Xiao Qiang, and said with tears in his eyes: "Little villain, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Nan waved his hand, "I'm fine, just a little weak." Sister Xiaochuan, it's hard for you to carry me for a ride, it's almost dawn, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. "It turned out that Xiao Nan had been using his mental strength all night, and his mental strength was overused, and the immortal liquid in his whole body was almost exhausted, and he collapsed.

At this moment, the 500,000 troops of the Yunshan Military Region led by Li Ye also rushed to the north bank of the Wujiang River and connected with Wang Nantian of Wujun. Li Ye saw that Nantian only wanted to defend Wujiang and had no intention of crossing the river to regain lost territory, so he did not speculate! However, Li Ye had been in a high position for a long time and was accustomed to seeing intrigue in the palace, so he was polite to Nantian on the face of it, and after dealing with it, he returned to the camp to summon the generals of the Yunshan Military Region to discuss countermeasures.

In this expedition, the Yunshan Military Region also sent 500,000 troops, with Li Ye as the commander, including 100,000 in Qingzhou, commanded by Guan Shan, vice governor of Qingzhou; 100,000 in Meizhou, 100,000 in Nancheng and 100,000 in Beicheng, a total of 200,000, under the command of Wang Shuai, governor of Beicheng; 100,000 in Zhuzhou, led by Vice Governor Canghai; and 100,000 in Mazhou, but led by Min Si and Song Yu. Among them, Wang Shuai, the governor of Beicheng in Meizhou, also served as the deputy commander of the 500,000-strong army.

Li Ye convened a military meeting in the camp of the Chinese army to discuss the battle plan, and Li Ye said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are facing the Japanese Kou, raising troops for a thousand days, and using them for a while, so let's talk about it, how will this battle be fought? Let me stress one point first: I am not here to take you to the front line, not to put on a show! I want to really go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! If you are afraid of death, go back to your commander as soon as possible! At the same time, don't believe the nonsense of Wang Nantian of Wujun today, and help him defend the lower reaches of the Wujiang River. I tell you, when you march and fight with me, there is no defense, only offense! Don't talk to me about the defense, only talk about how to attack the Japanese invaders!"

Wang Shuai slapped the table and stood up first to support Li Ye: "Okay! Li Dashuai, I agree! The defense is just waiting for death! When the Japanese are ready to fight, what good fruit do we have to eat?"

Song Yu and Min Si glanced at each other, and Min Si said: "We are only Li Dashuai!"

Guan Shan and Canghai are two old foxes, and they are not in a hurry to express their position. Guan Shan said in a slow tone: "Li Dashuai, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and it is not a child's play! Whether it is defense or offense, we must first discuss a charter." ”

Cang Hai also said: "What Governor Guan said is very true, today I was observing on the bank of the river, and I saw that the river was surging, the water was deep and the waves were rapid, and I am afraid that it would be very dangerous to cross the river to fight at this time! ”

Li Ye glanced at Guan Shan and Canghai coldly, and said in a deep voice: "So now I call you to discuss how to cross the river and fight." ”

Min Si frowned and said, "Dashuai, I'll talk about my thoughts first, throw bricks and lead jade, what's wrong, and finally the Dashuai will decide, we will obey!"

Li Ye's face turned happy and said, "Please speak!"

Min Si walked to the battle map, pointed to the map, and talked eloquently, saying his thoughts......
