Chaisang City is an important stronghold for attacking Jingzhou. It is garrisoned by General Ling Cao. Chaisang City has 20,000 soldiers and horses. Among them, 10,000 sailors and the rest are infantry.
In a mansion in Chaisang City, generals Cheng Pu and Ling Cao were sitting opposite each other. Looking at the general in front of him, whose qualifications were not at all inferior to his, Cheng Pu did not dare to ask casually: "General Ling, are there Liu Qi and others?"
News about people?”
Ling Cao shook his head and said: "Not yet." Then he comforted: "General Cheng, please rest assured that as long as Liu Qi is not in Xiakou, Nanchang and Jiangxia, he will definitely find it. There is no official road near Chaisang and they can't go far.
, it’s easy to find them.”
Cheng Pu nodded. He had been frantically anxious in the past two days. When he arrived at Chaisang, Liu Qi and others had already left all night. Although there were no official roads in this area, it was not a problem to travel dozens of miles in one night. Liu Qi robbed the two ladies.
He has ordered the matter to be sealed. After all, if word spreads, the entire Jiangdong would be embarrassed.
Thinking of Jiangxia's Huang Zu, Cheng Pu was a little worried and said: "If you look for Liu Qi in such a big way, will Jiangxia's Huang Zu stop you?"
Ling Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "Huang Zu has been preparing for war all these years. Many things in the county have been handed over to his son Huang She. This Huang She is arrogant and arrogant. General Cheng doesn't need to care."
Cheng Pu was relieved to hear that Huang Zu was preparing for the war without rest. After all, Huang Zu was an important figure who killed Sun Jian and had to guard against him. However, thinking that Jingzhou had already invaded Jiangdong, Cheng Pu said: "Since Huang Zu was preparing for the war without rest, why not take Jiangxia to take revenge?"
"
Ling Cao pointed to the map and said: "Here is Nanjun, which is adjacent to Jiangxia County, and Liu Biao's Feilong Army County is in Jiangxia County. Once Jiangxia is captured, except for Xiakou, our Jiangdong army will be directly exposed to the Feilong Army's front. We must capture it."
Jiang Xia still needs to be fully prepared."
After hearing Ling Cao's words, Cheng Pu shook his head and said: "General Ling, don't worry. This time, I have come with my lord's two thousand personal guards and five thousand cavalry, while the two generals Sun Wei and Sun Jing have brought ten thousand troops each."
The horse is already on the road and it is a good time to capture Jiangxia in one fell swoop."
"Oh, are you serious?" Ling Cao's eyes flashed. Jiangxia had 30,000 troops and the Feilong Army only totaled 50,000, while Chaisang had 20,000 troops, plus Cheng Pu's 7,000 troops and Zheng
The 20,000 troops who arrived were enough to capture Jiangxia and then hold it.
Cheng Pu said with some excitement in his eyes: "Yes, although there are only two thousand people following me to reach Chaisang now, the rest of the troops can arrive in two days. We just need to make preparations first and then use the thunderbolt."
With this attack, Jiangxia can be captured in one fell swoop."
Ling Cao nodded and said: "In that case, let's prepare siege weapons first and try to capture Jiangxia in one fell swoop." After saying that, he shouted to the door: "Come here."
Not long after, a soldier came in and saluted: "See you, General."
Ling Cao said to his soldiers: "Send the order to increase the harassment of Jiangxia and triple the number of soldiers who go to disrupt."
"No." The soldiers took the order and left.
Cheng Pu looked at Ling Cao and asked, "General Ling, isn't he afraid that Huang Zu would have made preparations for this?"
Ling Cao shook his head and said: "This will make Huang Zu lower his vigilance, and then he can take advantage of his unpreparedness to capture Jiangxia."
"General." A young general ran in and said: "A large group of cavalry was found fifty miles east of Chaisang. It should be Liu Qi and others that the general is looking for."
Hearing the young general's words, Cheng Pu and Ling Cao both stood up. Ling Cao and Cheng Pu looked at each other and ordered the young general: "Immediately send an order to mobilize 10,000 troops and horses to be dispatched."
The young general took the order and left. Soon the horn sounded and Chai Sang's soldiers and horses began to gather. When Cheng Pu and Ling Cao arrived at the school grounds, ten thousand soldiers and horses had already gathered, and the two thousand cavalry who followed Cheng Pu were also ready to go.
.
Cheng Pu and Ling Cao led their troops and horses, led by the young general, to chase Liu Qi and others.
Just two hours after the army left, 5,000 cavalry arrived at Chaisang. These 5,000 cavalry were the same 5,000 cavalry who followed Cheng Pu to destroy Liu Qi. Each member of the Guards was equipped with two horses and his speed was amazing. Five thousand ordinary cavalry
Unable to keep up, these five thousand soldiers and horses could only hang far behind. It was only at this time that they had just arrived at Chaisang.
The 20,000-strong army in Danyang County is marching hastily. The 20,000-strong army does not even have a flag, and everyone is rushing along the official road in disheveled clothes. The 20,000-strong army is exactly the 20,000-strong army led by Sun Wei and Sun Jing.
The first two people were Sun Ce's cousin Sun Xi and Sun Ce's cousin Sun Jing. Sun Xi looked at the official road in front and said: "Father, we will arrive in Lujiang County in a short time. We are not far from Chaisang."
Sun Jing nodded and glanced at the army behind him and said: "At this speed, we will still have two days to reach Chaisang. The speed is too slow. Order the soldiers to speed up."
The soldiers behind him immediately went to deliver the order. Sun Hao glanced at the exhausted soldiers behind him and couldn't bear to say: "Father, this is the limit of the infantry. If we increase the speed, I am afraid it will be too much. Besides, this is the time to rush."
Chai Sang can’t fight either.”
Sun Jing glanced at her son and said, "Do you think the Lord sent us to Chaisang really to kill Liu Qi?"
Sun Fu asked doubtfully: "Isn't it?"
Sun Jing shook his head and said: "Of course not. Even if you want to avenge your brother, why do you need to mobilize 20,000 soldiers and horses from Wu County? Chaisang and Jiujiang's soldiers and horses are enough to wipe out Liu Qi's more than 1,000 cavalry. Besides, it is not enough to mobilize 20,000 soldiers and horses from the adjacent areas.
The county mobilizes troops. Why mobilize troops and horses from Wu County? "
Sun Hao asked: "Why? Aren't we supposed to avenge our brother?"
Sun Jing said: "Revenge for your brother is only one aspect, and the other aspect is to find an excuse to mobilize troops to Chaisang. If my prediction is correct, the lord will use a large number of troops against Jingzhou."
Sun Hao was a little surprised and said: "The situation is so tense now. Isn't it a good time to take action?"
Sun Jing shook her head and said: "The situation is tense now, but the north may start fighting at some time. If Jingzhou is unprepared, we can easily occupy Jiangxia and attack the entire Jingzhou."
Sun Jing took a breath and didn't ask again. He didn't care too much about these things. He only needed to fight. He didn't care too much about other things. Sun Jing looked at his son and sighed. His son could only be a famous general.
He is suitable to be a good general. But as long as he pays close attention, it will be fine. The reason why Sun Ce sent them and his son here is on the one hand to avenge Sun He, and on the other hand, he feels guilty and gives this credit to them and his son as compensation. For Sun Ce, Sun Ce sent Sun He
He already knew that He's son was recruited into the Guards, and he felt relieved about it. After all, even if Sun He had great merit, he couldn't send his son directly into the Guards without passing the test. A child of more than ten years old
Even an ordinary person who joins the Guards can be trained to become a general, not to mention that he has been practicing martial arts with Sun He since he was a child.
The order was quickly conveyed, and the speed of the 20,000-strong army increased again.
