"Tomorrow night, take your people and set up an ambush here!"
"This is... Xiaozha?" Looking in the direction of Fu Rui's finger, Kodak discovered that this place was between Desheng Fort and Xiangyang City, slightly to the east.
Kodak knows this place.
I think back then, when Xiangyang City was just captured, the Victory Fort was still very hostile to the Di Qin army and wanted Yingcheng to protect itself.
In addition to strengthening their own defense, the fort residents also erected a fence as a barrier on the only road between Xiangyang City and Desheng Fort.
There are always guards and frequent patrols. The fence is located in a low valley. Although the slope is not too steep, looking at it from a distance, you can also feel that this place is slightly lower than the surrounding land.
This area was originally very suitable for an ambush. Later, because Desheng Fort surrendered to the Qin army, all the small fences were demolished.
However, because this place was also a former military fortress near Xiangyang City, even though the fortification is no longer there, the name has been retained.
Fu Rui nodded happily: "Yes!"
"It's Xiaozha."
Fu Rui felt extremely happy when he thought that such a good idea came from such a smart mind.
Beautiful, beautiful.
This is the light of wisdom!
"I judge that the Jin army went into battle lightly with such little food and grass. They had been stationed under Xiangyang City for several days and had consumed a lot of food, but they did not panic at all. This must be because the food was close at hand!
"
"They thought they could get food supplies quickly, so they weren't in a hurry at all."
"The general means that the food and fodder of the Jin army may be temporarily stored in Victory Fort?" Koda frowned and thought for a while.
Obviously, along the line extending from Xiangyang City to the small gate, Victory Fort suddenly appeared.
Recalling the scene when the Beifu army came to help that night, at that time, the army did come from the direction of Victory Fort!
There seems to be no doubt that the main vanguard troops rushed to Xiangyang City for support and left most of the heavy equipment behind in the Victory Fort composed of refugees from the Jin Dynasty.
Any army would do this.
"These people in Victory Fort should have been eradicated from the beginning!" Kodak said angrily.
To be honest, Fu Rui now feels a little regretful. Just because he was looking for temporary convenience and money, he allowed Desheng Fort to develop its power and gain a foothold near Xiangyang City.
If it weren't for his insatiable greed, how could he have encountered such a disaster today.
However, as a general, it is absolutely impossible for Fu Rui to admit that his decision was wrong.
"That's it, that's it!" He waved his hand to indicate that Kodak should not be mentioned again, and he seemed quite generous.
"It's all in the past. It's useless to pursue it any further. Once I drive away these Beifu soldiers, I will definitely eradicate Fort Victory."
After hearing these words, Kodak, who was filled with resentment, finally felt more at ease.
I have long been dissatisfied with this group of people, and I have finally waited for the day to eradicate them completely!
The two sat down and Fu Rui began to assign tasks to Kodak.
"You go to Xiaozha to lay an ambush. I will send a messenger every day to inform you of the situation under Xiangyang City. You can act according to the development of the situation and take advantage of it."
"yes!"
"I obey!" Kodak saluted heavily, feeling excited.
"Thank you, General, for your trust!"
Kodak is also a man who understands that ambushing the enemy's food route is definitely an important task. If he does it well, it will be a first-class achievement!
Seeing that he recognized him, Fu Rui patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "Kodak, you have been under my command for several years, and your rank has not been promoted. This time you are going to intercept the Beifu Bingliang Road. You have to catch him."
Seize the opportunity and perform well."
Kodak's eyes lit up: Yes!
Being an official and a general all your life is not just for promotion and wealth. In the past, Liang Cheng was like a big mountain in Xiangyang City, always pressing on Kodak's head.
Liang Chengcheng had long teeth, and he had followed Fu Jian in many battles back then. His qualifications, experience, and even his prestige in the military, and his weight in the heart of Fu Jian, the leader of Qin, were far beyond that of a young general like Kodak.
In Xiangyang City, Kodak's wisdom and bravery are almost universally known. However, after all, he only joined the army after Fu Jian founded the country. Regardless of seniority and military merit, he is not as good as Liang Cheng in every aspect.
Even though Liang Cheng's military exploits over the years have gone downhill and he has suffered successive defeats, it is still difficult for Kodak to surpass him and become the commander-in-chief of an army.
What Kodak lacks is not ability, but luck.
Without the opportunity to make great achievements, how can he overpower the veteran Liang Cheng who had made great achievements in the past years?
In the past three years, there has been no war in Xiangyang City, and Fu Rui still respects Liang Cheng. However, recently, Liang Cheng, who has suffered successive defeats, no longer has much prestige with Fu Rui.
Rather than continue to reuse Liang Cheng and let the Jin army see through it, it is better to let go and use capable young generals.
"As long as you understand what I mean, Liang Cheng has been defeated by Xie Xuan many times and has been embarrassed. Kodak, now it's your turn to fight for Xiangyang City!"
"take the chance!"
"General, don't worry, I'll leave everything to my subordinates."
Fu Rui stroked his beard and laughed. There was an obvious desire to win in Kodak's eyes. Fu Rui suddenly felt that this time, his clever plan would definitely work.
…………
"General, is this our errand?"
"It's really boring."
At the foot of Xiangyang City, near Huikou Ferry, a group of Jingzhou soldiers were lying in ambush behind haystacks, watching the situation near the ferry.
Ever since Xie Xuan handed over the command of the first battle to Wang Mi, the young man had gathered enough energy to throw off his arms and get started.
He was full of energy, making plans day and night, and finally decided to return to the area where the previous successful raid was, as a new prelude to the war.
Seeing his enthusiasm, the champion general Xie Xuan was very embarrassed.
Several times, Wang Mi put down his brush and looked up, and he could catch Xie Xuan's figure outside the military tent.
I saw this well-known general of Beifu, wandering back and forth outside the military tent with his hands behind his back. Obviously, he had something to say, but every time he caught Wang Mi's eyes, he quickly left again.
It's really strange.
Later, as he observed more and more carefully, Wang Mi finally had an epiphany.
Lao Xie, does he regret it?
I regretted handing over the military power to him, regretted listening to his deception. I wanted to take my life back, but I didn’t know how to open my mouth.
After a few times, Wang Mi noticed that Xie Xuan looked at him outside the tent for longer and longer, and his eyes were full of hints.
The content is nothing more than asking him to take the initiative to give up his military power first, so that Lao Xie can have face.
Wang Mi had realized this meaning a long time ago, but he refused to speak. How could he give up the military power he had finally obtained?
Unless there is something wrong with this person’s brain!
Liu Yu and other generals were waiting to fight on the battlefield with Wang Mi. As the commander of the first battle, what Wang Mi had to do was, on the one hand, to add glory to his brothers, and on the other hand, he had to pay attention to balance.
This is why he is willing to choose Huan Yi, who was born in Jingzhou, to cooperate instead of randomly selecting a helper in Beifu.
