Ten miles outside Chaisang City, the military camp of the Jiangdong Army is stationed here. The military camp of a hundred thousand troops should have been endless and huge, but at this time, the military camp of the army is just close to the shore, occupying a smaller area than in
Jiangxia's military camp is even smaller...
Although the military camp has become smaller, the security of the military camp has been increased several times. Within the camp, there is a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Military crossbows are placed along the edge of the military camp, and there are three or four people next to the military crossbows.
Looking around with vigilance, these soldiers all held long spears in their hands and had sharp eyes.
Different from the military camp in Jiangxia Dynasty, the military camp here has added a dozen four- to five-meter-high sentry towers. Standing on the sentry towers, you can take in the entire area of ten miles in radius. There are several sentry towers on each sentry tower.
Soldiers holding bows and arrows looked around and monitored the outside of the military camp.
After accepting Lu Su's suggestion, Sun Ce led the army to the vicinity of Chaisang the next day. What surprised Sun Ce was that the Feilong Army behind him and the Feihu Army in Chaisang City did not stop him, and even just
Send people to monitor. Moreover, since the Jiangdong army was stationed here, the Feilong Army and the Feihu Army have not sent troops to harass, which surprised the worried Jiangdong generals.
In the Jiangdong camp, in a small tent, Jiangdong generals gathered here.
"My lord, Lujiang Prefect Bu Zhao has sent word that he has prepared nearly a thousand ships and will be able to arrive tonight to help the army cross the river." Zhang Hong looked at Sun Ce with a happy face.
Zhang Hong's words made all the generals in the tent breathe a sigh of relief. The sooner the supporting ships arrive here, the sooner the Jiangdong army can withdraw to Jiangdong.
"Oh, how did Bu Zhi raise so many ships?" Sun Ce's eyes were also full of smiles. Whether the Jiangdong army could return to Jiangdong safely this time, these ships played a key role.
"Bu Zhi used all the money in the Lujiang treasury to requisition ships from the local people, and used money as collateral to rent the people's ships. In addition, some wealthy households in Lujiang also took out their ships under Bu Zhi's persuasion.
, to get enough of these ships. Among the nearly a thousand ships, except for a hundred medium-sized warships equivalent to the navy, the others are all small ships, which can only carry less than ten people each time."
Zhang Hong said and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Sun Ce. Bu Zhi had already explained the situation in Lujiang to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce took the bamboo slips and took a look at it, and immediately laughed out loud: "Although they are all small ships, this team can collect so many ships in a short time, which can be regarded as a great effort. As long as these ships catch up tonight
Once we arrive, the army will be able to return to Jiangdong safely."
"My lord, Governor Bu explained on the bamboo slips that in order to guard against sneak attacks by Jingzhou soldiers and horses, Bu Zhao also transferred the former naval forces from the Lujiang River, but he said that these thousand naval troops were used for warning." Zhang
Hong smiled and said, Bu Zhao's talents are far more than what a prefect can match. Such a person should be in Wu County to share Sun Ce's worries.
"Oh, Bu Zhao has good intentions, but the Jingzhou navy has been contained, so don't worry, the one thousand navy can also be used to transport soldiers." Sun Ce thought for a while and said.
Seeing that Sun Ce had such confidence in Ling Cao, Zhou Yu and others couldn't help but frown. This trip to Jiangdong has greatly changed everyone's view of Jingzhou, and they no longer dare to look down on Jingzhou like before.
"My lord, although General Ling is brave, the Jingzhou navy is twice as powerful as our Jiangdong navy. If Gan Ning dedicates a part of his navy to attack here, the army will definitely fall into chaos." Lu Su frowned,
He said with some worry on his face.
"Yes, General Ling and General Huang are incompetent in commanding the navy. When the time comes, they will only give the Jingzhou navy an opportunity to take advantage of." Although Zhou Yu was still confident at this time, he was not as high-spirited as before and knew everything well.
of arrogance.
Once Ling Cao could not stop Gan Ning, Jiangdong's army would really have no way out. Although the Feilong Army outside the camp did not make any moves, Zhou Yu knew that as long as Jiangdong's army left the camp, the Feilong Army outside the camp would
It will definitely attack.
"Well, in that case, let's put these thousand navy troops on alert as Bu Zhao said." Sun Ce waved his hands and didn't care. Since the ship has arrived, there is no need to worry about these things.
"Then the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army in Jingzhou still haven't responded?" Sun Ce was concerned about the Flying Tiger Army in Chaisang City and the Flying Dragon Army not far away. These two elites have not made the slightest move since they arrived here.
Sun Ce felt a little uneasy.
"Lord, there is still no movement from the Feilong Army and the Feilong Army." Zhang Hong bowed and said.
"What kind of attention did Wenpin and Wang Wei pay?" Everyone in the big tent secretly guessed.
"My lord, although I don't know the intentions of the Feilong Army and the Flying Tiger Army, these two troops obviously have no good intentions. We have to guard against these two troops." Lu Su said solemnly.
…………………………………………………………………………
In Chaisang City, since Wang Wei captured Chaisang City, the people in the city have been in panic. However, the Feihu Army has not killed anyone in the city since they occupied Chaisang City. Over the past few days, the people in the city have gradually calmed down.
Come down.
When Chaisang City was captured last time, although most of Jiangdong's soldiers took the opportunity to escape, there were still two thousand Jiangdong's soldiers left in the city. These two thousand Jiangdong's soldiers were immediately closely guarded by Wang Wei.
In a mansion in Chaisang City, Wang Wei, Wenpin, Zhuge Liang and others gathered here. On the second day after the Jiangdong troops retreated, Zhuge Liang secretly arrived at Chaisang.
"Military advisor, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are now in a urn. If Jiangdong deploys troops to respond again, it will be troublesome." Wang Wei sat on the main seat with a golden sword and looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.
"Haha, General Wang, don't worry. Regardless of whether Xingba can severely damage Jiangdong's navy, he will send five thousand navy to intercept Jiangdong. When the time comes to cut off Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, the remaining Jiangdong soldiers will definitely have no fighting spirit. It will be more difficult to deal with them.
It's easier." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan gently in his hand, causing the Confucian robe on his body to rise and fall continuously.
"I have also heard of the name Jinfan Thief. However, the Jinfan Thief is a bandit after all and their number is very small. However, the navy's movement of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is extremely cumbersome to command. Why doesn't the eldest son let Gan
Xingba will have some experience before he can lead the navy." Wenpin suddenly said.
"It's not that the eldest son has always had a vicious vision. Since he let Gan Ning command the navy, he must have considered it. But the Jiangdong navy is not weak, and the possibility of defeating him is extremely small." Wang Wei waved his hand, he was in Xiangyang
I have had contact with both Liu Qi and Gan Ning. Gan Ning is indeed a good general who is calm and decisive, while no one around Liu Qi is weak, which shows that Liu Qi has a unique vision.
"I wonder what the goal of the military advisor's trip is?" Wenpin turned to look at Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang said that the goal of this trip was to severely damage the Jiangdong army, both Wenpin and Wang Wei had already seen that Zhuge Liang's goal of this trip was not
It's not that simple.
"It's nothing, I just want to bring Pengze on the other side under the rule of Jingzhou." Zhuge Liang smiled and said.
"Pengze?" Wenpin and Wang Wei were both a little surprised. Pengce was not an important place. On the contrary, it was just a small county in Jiangdong. Zhuge Liang worked so hard and mobilized so many people, could it be just for a county?
Everyone couldn't help but think it was ridiculous. Did the Feilong Army and the Feihu Army gather just for one Peng Ze?
However, when the two of them figured out the geographical location of Pengze, their eyes became brighter and brighter. Pengze is not far from Chaisang, on the other side of Chaisang. If there were no Chaisang City, Pengze's land would be along the Poyang
It is just a small city along the lake, but with Chaisang City, Pengze and Chaisang City echo each other, which means that Poyang Lake is completely controlled by Jiangdong, so Poyang can be said to be an important place in Jiangdong for training naval forces.
Now that Jiangdong has occupied Chaisang, if he takes Pengze, he can just cut off Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, which is equivalent to directly cutting Jiangdong's navy into two, and the head and tail cannot look at each other. Zhuge Liang's move can be regarded as a ruthless one.
pole.
However, there is another issue that needs to be considered in occupying Pengze City.
"Military advisor, Pengze is surrounded by Jiangdong. How can a small county be defended?" Wang Wei asked in surprise.
"Haha, haven't General Wang's Flying Tiger Army wanted to leave a long time ago? In that case, I will inform my lord and let General Wang personally guard Pengze." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"Ah!" Everyone in the hall exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Wei's Flying Tiger Army is one of the two elites in Jingzhou, and Wang Wei is a very prestigious general in Jingzhou. How can it be sent to such a small county?
Isn’t this overkill?
"Don't worry, General Wang. Pengze County has just been occupied and naturally needs a strong general to garrison it. When Jingzhou's internal integration is completed, the lord will definitely send someone to replace the general." Seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, Zhuge Liang said hurriedly.
"call!"
After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, several people breathed a sigh of relief. Although Peng Ze was important, there was no need for Wang Wei to guard it personally. However, it was not easy to resist Jiangdong's pressure and guard Peng Ze.
At this time, Wang Wei and Wenpin looked at Zhuge Liang a little differently. First, they sent two thousand Feilong Guards to sneak attack Chaisang and cut off Jiangdong's grain route, forcing Jiangdong to retreat. Then, step by step, they forced Jiangdong's soldiers and horses into the pre-set
Good game.
Now that Pengze County is occupied again, and the Flying Tiger Army, one of the two elites in Jingzhou, is to be guarded, Jiangdong has to treat the 10,000 Flying Tiger Army with caution. With these 10,000 Flying Tiger Army occupying Pengze County, Jiangdong must
Send at least 30,000 troops to guard against the Flying Tiger Army's sneak attack.
What's more, cutting off the connection between the Jiangdong Navy in one fell swoop will greatly reduce the power of the Jiangdong Navy. This alone can prevent the growth of the Jiangdong Navy.
