Part Three Chapter Seventeen Strike Across the River 3
[69 Book Bar - www.] I said: "Will there be any tasks tonight..." Shao Fengguan interrupted me and said: "You have just arrived, what will happen? Don't worry, the snake people are stubbornly guarding this time, they are not
A boat, even if it knows how to swim, can't swim in a river that's several miles wide."
I asked Tu Fang for leave in the evening and went to Shaofeng Guan camp. When I went to see Tu Fang, he was still thinking hard about the terrain map, and it seemed that he couldn't think of any place to attack. Bi Wei and Deng Canglan were fighting with the snake people in Dongping City.
After such a long stalemate, the two men were both more talented than Tu Fang. They could never come up with a good strategy, and Tu Fang probably couldn't either.
As soon as I entered Shaofengguan's camp, after the announcement, Shao Fengguan came out and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you are here, come in." He pulled me into his tent. His tent was very clean.
The layout was very decent, with a table in the middle, a pot of unknown meat being cooked on it, the aroma was fragrant, and there were several pots of vegetables on the side.
I sat down and said with a smile: "It smells so good. What kind of meat is this?"
Shao Fengguan said proudly: "You haven't tried it before, try it." He poured me a glass of wine, pointed at the pot of meat with chopsticks, and said: "There is nothing new about other things, but this meat is rare."
I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth. As soon as I chewed it, I felt that the piece of meat was like ice and snow. It melted in my mouth and my mouth was full of delicious flavor. I was surprised and said: "What kind of meat is this? I have never eaten it before. It doesn't seem to be from pigs or sheep."
Meat."
Shao Fengguan said: "Ha, of course you have never tasted it. The entire empire is only produced in this river and cannot be found anywhere else."
I said, "Hey, is it fish? It doesn't taste like it to me."
Shao Fengguan said: "It's not a fish, this is river pig. River pig is a kind of water animal in the river. It looks like a fish, but it has no scales all over its body and its meat is very fine. This river pig is not very rare in spring.
It’s just that in spring, the meat is bland and tasteless, and only in winter,
It is full of fat and fat, and is cooked with artemisia from the riverside. It has a strange fragrance. However, river pigs hide in mud holes for the winter, and are extremely difficult to catch in winter. Today, a few of my soldiers found this river pig during patrol.
Come out of the cave and catch him, you will be lucky."
The river pork tasted very delicious. I ate two pieces in succession and picked up the vegetables with my chopsticks to try. But thinking about the snake man across the river, I felt upset again and lost my appetite. I put down my chopsticks. Shao Fengguan was enjoying his meal.
Seeing me put down my chopsticks, I asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"
I said: "No. I was wondering if Lord Tu has any strategy to defeat the enemy."
Shao Fengguan said: "What are you thinking about? After all, I'm not the only one who will be crushed by the sky. Let's take one step at a time." He stretched out his chopsticks, picked up another piece of meat from the pot, put it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "
Anyway, I have figured it out, this life was originally chosen for me, and every day I live is a net profit, not a loss."
What he said was funny, but it sounded infinitely disappointing to me. When I first met Shao Fengguan in Dongping City, he was not so cynical, but since Zhen Yining's death, his words always sounded sarcastic.
A burst of unreasonable sadness surged into my heart. I also picked up a piece of meat and said, "Yeah, I figured it out. It's the same thing. Every day I live is earned."
Shao Fengguan snorted from his nose and was about to say something else. At this time, a soldier outside the door shouted: "General Shao, Governor Deng has invited you."
Shao Fengguan frowned and said, "What did Deng Canglan ask me to do at this time?" Seeing that he didn't want to pay attention, I said, "General Shao, since I have something to do, I'd better go."
Shao Fengguan said: "Brother Chu, don't pay attention to him. If Master Tu calls me, I still have to go. Deng Canglan and Bi Wei, it's nothing to make them wait. Come, have another drink."
He filled the glass with wine and handed it to me, looking nonchalant, but he let me worry for him. I drank all the wine in the glass, ate a few pieces of meat randomly, and said, "Brother Shao, hurry up.
Come over, I'm so full that I can't eat anymore."
Shao Fengguan burped and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you are so timid. Anyway, after finishing this glass, I will go see them." He filled my wine glass again and raised it to me.
Welcome, said: "Come, Brother Chu, I hope we can survive the next battle."
After coming out of Shaofengguan's camp, he mounted his horse to see Deng Canglan. After saying goodbye to him, I walked towards my camp. I could hear the river water all the way, and the lights in the city were dim and looked dilapidated. There was a confrontation between Dongyang City and Dongping City along the Jiajiang River.
, although the scale of Dongyang City is not as large as Dongping City, it is almost the same. Back then
Zhijiang Province has always been known as a prosperous city, and both cities are extremely prosperous. Now one has fallen into the hands of the snake people, and the citizens of the other city have fled. There are not many civilians left in the city now. If there is a war,
At the end of the day, I don’t know how long it will take for Dongping and Dongyang to regain their old views.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the camp, I jumped off my horse, and suddenly a person appeared beside me and whispered: "Control."
This was Lian Baice's voice. I said, "Brother Lian, it's you. What's the matter?"
Lian Baice used to be the guard of Dongyang City, but now he is just a small corps commander. I'm afraid he won't feel the same when he returns to his old place. Lian Baice walked up to me and whispered: "Controller,
Have you and General Deng Bi met just now?"
I said, "Yes, I just saw her today."
Lian Baice frowned and said: "Zhizong, I don't know if I should say something..." I didn't wait for him to finish and said: "Brother Lian, just say whatever you have to say in the future. I will never do it."
You weren’t allowed to say it.”
Lian Baice hurriedly said: "That's right, Commander, you also know that I was once the guard of Dongyang City."
I said, "Yeah, it didn't take long, just over a year."
Lian Baice said: "I have been here for a long time. Although the winter in Zhijiang Province is not as cold as the imperial capital, it is still very chilly."
I was stunned and said, "What's wrong? Does the river freeze in winter?"
Lian Baice said: "People of the older generation have said that the river has frozen, but I have never seen it. Zongzhi, I want to tell you that the river is too cold in winter. Although the snake people are not strong in winter, they are
When attacking a city in such cold water, I'm afraid the attacking side will suffer even more losses."
I pondered for a moment and said: "This is a problem. However, General Deng has been in battle for a long time, so I am afraid he has already thought of this."
As soon as I said it, I saw a look of sadness on Lian Baice's face. He must have felt that his opinion was not taken seriously, so he hurriedly said: "By the way, General Lian, you have been defending Dongyang City for a long time, where do you think we can attack from?"
Dongping City is the most powerful?"
A hint of joy appeared on Lian Baice's face again, and he said: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, I feel that if we want to attack Dongping City, I'm afraid the only way is to attack Dongping City head-on."
