"You are useless and you are running around making fun of your own camp?" [Watershed]
Gao Cheng frowned. When he came, he was only told to deliver Yuzhang and Luling together, but he did not expect that the other party also wanted Danyang. Could it be that Huang Zu wanted to be the shepherd of Yangzhou?
He vaguely guessed what the other party meant, but he couldn't accept this promise on Sun Ce's behalf.
At this time, Fengzheng Captain Liu You said quietly from the side: "The purpose of our trip is to pass through Jingzhou to pay a pilgrimage to the emperor. General Sun's tribute report must also be handed over to the palace, whether it is a reward or a punishment, General Sun obeys his orders
Under his command, the decision will be made by the imperial court. If Mr. Huang has any ideas, you may wish to write them down and we can submit them together."
Huang Zu's face gradually turned ugly. It was still uncertain whether Jiangdong's military affairs would be returned to his control, and Jingzhou's powerful men still needed to operate in the imperial court through Huang Wan, so what he said just now was indeed a bit hasty.
Cai Mao took the opportunity and said in a non-yinful voice: "Since Sun Bofu is a righteous person, he is treated as a court official with me, and there is no sense of subordination. The words of Huang Taishou should be reported to the public."
"If we don't retreat to Danyang, what does An Zhi Sun Bofu mean?" Huang Zu said dissatisfied: "We should try to control these people."
He had no scruples and said these words in front of Gao Cheng, Liu You and other messengers, regardless of how livid the other party's face was or how arrogant the atmosphere was.
"Okay." Just when Liu You couldn't help but break up and curse, Huang Quan, who was sitting at the bottom, gently interrupted: "General Sun of Jiangdong surrendered to the imperial court anyway. We know it.
That's enough. As for how to deal with it, we have to wait for the emperor's edict. It's not advisable to do it without permission."
Gao Cheng reacted, coughed slightly, and said, "Yes, Huang Lang is right."
Liu You was reminded by his cough and temporarily extinguished his anger.
Huang Zu frowned slightly, turned to look at Huang Quan, and said coldly: "As a county official, you need to be careful in your words and actions."
Gan Ning listened for a long time and knew that he would be right to follow Huang Quan's words. Moreover, Huang Zu's words were so forceful that Gan Ning wanted to protect his shortcomings: "I was also a county official, and my words and deeds back then were not that great."
cautious."
Huang Zu frowned angrily and saw Cai Mao gloating about his misfortune. He knew that he could not confront Gan Ning head-on, so he had to endure it for the time being and bowed his hands and thanked him.
Afterwards, Gan Ning summoned Huang Quan, Deng Zhi and others to discuss matters alone.
"If I surrender, they will still attack me and kill my generals. Then I will seek justice no matter what I say. At least I will sue the emperor and ask the emperor to judge." Gan Ning expressed his frustration: "
Regardless of whether Sun Ce is good or not, he will be of great use in Jiangdong. If I get into trouble because of this, how should the imperial court look at me?"
Huang Quan and Deng Zhi looked at each other and smiled, saying: "This is not a difficult task. So what we expected is right. It is Huang Zu who Sun Ce wants to use this to plot, not you, the captain. Now the captain
If you accidentally fall into the trap and take the blame for Huang Zu, Sun Ce will not take advantage of it to pursue you."
"Sun Ce even sent his young brother who had seized the title as a hostage, and also transferred Yuzhang's troops and horses. His heart of submission was as firm as a rock, how could he relapse because of this misunderstanding? It was just a ploy to plot against Huang Zu. Huang Zu
He had a grudge against Sun Ce for killing his father, and Sun Ce wanted to use this to put Huang Zu in a dilemma, which was a moral failure, which is what he should have meant. But since he was a school captain, if Sun Ce really wanted to join the imperial court, he would not use this to cause trouble." Deng
Zhi also said: "This is just my humble opinion."
"How is this so shallow?" Gan Ning said with a smile. He was intelligent, but he was often not as good as Huang Quan in some matters. People like Deng Zhi saw clearly, so he had to rely on them for many things, which made Gan Ning very happy.
Take them out of the gorge with the army.
Hu Du suddenly said: "This matter can be big or small. When I prepare the battle report, I will add this matter. It is always right."
Huang Quan said: "After taking Yuzhang, Kuaiji will no longer be isolated from the outside world. At that time, people can be sent across the mountains to Kuaiji to contact the powerful people in Kuaiji. This will not only strengthen their persistence, but also control one place."
In this way, Sun Ce's threat was much smaller, and it could also be shown to the emperor that they had indeed planned carefully, and that they were able to plan as ordinary county officials, which was eye-catching.
"Huang Zu has too many thoughts on his mind. His attitude today is very different from the past, which shows that he has serious plans. I have to be careful and report this matter to the emperor. It is not enough to just add a sentence to the battle report."
Gan Ning thought about it carefully and set his sights on Deng Zhi: "Lao Bomiao has to go there in person."
It would be great if the emperor could grant him permission to fight in Jiangdong for the sake of his extraordinary achievements.
This is just Gan Ning's selfishness. Of course, the journey from Yuzhang to Jingzhou to reach the Yanzhou Army is long and the journey back and forth will take at least two months. At present, Gan Ning still has to make the final decision until the imperial edict comes. Fortunately
With his excellent army commanding ability, he defeated the invincible Chaisang and overwhelm all the armies. He was also able to command Huang Zu, Cai Mao and others.
A few days later, Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, led his army to Nanchang. When the news came that Sun Fu and Sun Bi, the governor of Luling, had joined forces and left, Gan Ning immediately took the documents sent by Huan Jie to discuss with Cai Mao and Huang Zu. They decided to stay.
Zhang Xian, who was least good at using troops, stayed in Yuzhang to coordinate the food and fodder. They still used their original troops and horses to cross Penglize and attack Wanxian County.
Huang Zu still refused to believe that Sun Ce really wanted to join the imperial court, and insisted on leaving a general to guard Pengze and guard against Danyang. Gan Ning had no reason to oppose him, so in the end, Zhang Yun and Liu Hu were left behind.
Dongjun, east of Leping County.
It was already noon. Han Ding looked up at the sky and saw only a cloud of gray dust. The originally blue sky was completely covered by the dust and thick smoke on the battlefield.
After Yuan Shao established the new emperor, he imitated the Han system and directly reorganized his subordinates into the Northern and Southern Army. Han Ding was Yuan Shao's subordinate commander of the "Yueqi Camp". He sat on the horse and frowned as he looked at the pursuing troops from the opposite side.
No matter how hard you look at the soldiers and horses, you can't see the group of fully armored cavalry just now.
What's even more strange is that the army obviously failed to cross the river, and the defeated soldiers crowded the pontoon bridge. Logically speaking, they should immediately cross the river eastward and go back, but they all rushed towards this side.
Han Ding felt uneasy and repeatedly urged the remaining soldiers around him to cheer up and prepare to deal with the enemy on the opposite side. As for the defeated soldiers behind him who did not retreat but were advancing towards this side, Han Ding could not think about that much for the moment.
At almost this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the opposite river embankment, their arrows flying like locusts onto the pontoon bridge.
What Han Ding didn't realize just now was that while the opposing army used the cavalry camp to break through the advance troops crossing the river, it also sent Captain Pang De from the upper reaches of the river to cross the bank and go all the way behind the Yuan army crossing the river to launch a surprise attack.
"What are you still doing?" Yan Liang, the vanguard general responsible for leading the troops across the river, said angrily: "No matter how powerful their garrison cavalry is, it can only be used for a while, but it won't last long!"
