Chapter 204 Mercy does not command soldiers to kill seven thousand
"Borrowing troops?" Gan Ning said, and everyone was shocked. It was the opportunity for a big war, and Xinye's troops and horses were insufficient. There was no reason to lend them. The eldest son Liu Qi treated him so favorably. Gan Ning really didn't want to
Good or bad, good or bad...
"Okay, how much is the borrowing of troops?" Liu Qi ignored Jiang Wan, Chen Wen and others' blocking eyes, stared at Gan Ning, and agreed to Gan Ning's request for borrowing troops.
Gan Ning was very excited. He felt that after he said the words of borrowing troops, the lively scene just now became more subtle, and several soldiers showed dissatisfaction with Gan Ning. Only the lord Liu Qi did not ask about the reason for borrowing troops.
He actually agreed without giving up. This is such trust and magnanimity from the lord. If he doesn't do a few grand things for Liu Qi in this life, he will really be sorry for the eldest son's kindness.
Although Liu Qi did not ask the reason, it did not mean that Liu Qi and his soldiers did not want to know the reason why Gan Ning borrowed troops. Gan Ning had no need to hide it. He looked at Liu Qi obediently and said: "My lord, Sun Jian is attacking Xinye, and the people of Jing and Xiang are here."
We all bear the responsibility, and I, Gan Xingba, cannot just sit idly by and watch. Although Sun Jian must pass through the new country, he must be careful about sneaking across by water. A few days ago, I and Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, proposed to strengthen the water defense, but they were not accepted, so I thought of my lord's benevolence and righteousness.
Great Virtue, I have taken the liberty to borrow troops from my lord to go to Hankou, so that I can prevent the Dongwu navy from attacking Jing, and also prevent Sun Jian's army from retreating. I only ask my lord to lend me two thousand elite soldiers, so that I can ambush Jiangxia. I swear to bury a force for your lord.
Qi Bing is always at your command."
Gan Ning's words aroused a discussion among the soldiers. It is not allowed to judge a gentleman's affairs with a villain's heart. Gan Ning, who dared his lover to borrow troops to station in Jiangxia regardless of personal life and death, had the overall interests of Jingzhou in mind.
There is no doubt that Gan Ning's righteous and awe-inspiring words are not unreasonable. From this, it can be seen that although Gan Ning acted unruly, he was proficient in strategy and well versed in the use of troops, which impressed everyone.
"General Xingba, listen to the order." Seeing that Jiang Wan seemed to have something to say, Liu Qi pretended not to know and immediately pulled out an order arrow.
Gan Ning cupped his fists and shouted: "Here."
"I grant you the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Forces. You will temporarily lead two thousand troops to Jiangxia and immediately secretly go to Jiangxia to block the Soochow army and collect Sun Jian's defeated troops. There must be no mistake."
"Get the order." Gan Ning was overjoyed, with passion in his heart and high fighting spirit. The Lord Liu Qi made a wish in the tone of the royal family. This means that if he works hard for Liu Qi in the world, Gan Ning will have the glory of no one.
After receiving the order, Gan Ning went to the school field to order the troops in high spirits. Jiang Wanfang expressed his worries. Liu Qi allowed Gan Ning to lead the army to secretly station in Hankou, which inadvertently offended Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia. It seemed that Liu Qi was too lenient.
Liu Qi focused on the overall situation during the war and blocked Jiang Wan on the grounds of not sticking to the details. How could Jiang Wan know the importance of Gan Ning?
Not to mention Liu Biao's inability to secure Jingzhou, then Gan Ning would become a stumbling block for Liu Qi to dominate the Three Kingdoms.
You need to have a long-term vision, and a good man will stick to the end. Don't trust those you employ, and ignore those you doubt. Liu Qi knew that Gan Ning, who was naturally fond of water warfare, would secretly build ships after leading an army of two thousand, so he asked Chen Wen to transfer Chen Shang and Chen Zhong from the Qilin Army.
, Chen Hao, three fierce generals who had been gifted robes by Liu Qi, led two thousand elite troops to assist Gan Ning in secretly stationing in Hankou, and asked Wuwei to deploy some blacksmiths to follow Gan Ning for shipbuilding. In this way, Gan Ning would be desperate.
Served Liu Qi.
Everything was arranged. One day later, Sun Jian led 20,000 troops to pursue Chen Wu. He was still a hundred miles away from Xinye City. He would face Sun Jian tomorrow morning. The sky above Xinye was covered with dense battle clouds. Liu Qi, Jiang Wan, and Chen Wen were sworn brothers.
The three brothers once again inspected the city defense to make sure nothing went wrong, and unanimously agreed on the scale and direction of the next day's battle.
The three brothers agreed that after the battle with Sun Jian in the Ming Dynasty, it was obvious that Liu Qi's strength with over 10,000 troops in Xinye could not be concealed from the world. Now that his strength was revealed, the world must see Liu Qi's weight in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
If you want to kill, you must show off your power. Only by defeating Sun Jian in a head-on battle can you show the might of the eldest son Liu Qi's powerful army.
That night, Zhao Yun confidently came to the county magistrate's post to see Liu Qi alone, asking for instructions on whether to confront Sun Jian the next day, whether Sun Jian should die or live. Liu Qi pondered for a long time and gave Sun Jian the word "die". Mao Taizu said, no one will offend me.
, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will offend them.
Liu Qi urgently needed a battle to establish his strength and prestige in the troubled times of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Sun Jian came to seek death. It was God's will that helped Liu Qi become famous in the first battle. God's will cannot be violated. Liu Qi looked at Zhao Yun's leaving figure and murmured to himself.
The duel between Xinye's 10,000 soldiers and Sun Jian's 20,000 soldiers and horses is destined to be a bloody battle. Tomorrow, the clear Xinye moat will really turn into a river of blood. This is the fate of history and cannot be reversed.
It was late at night, and the war was about to begin. Huang Wudie had not returned from the women's military camp in the past few days. Huan'er was busy with matters at the field hospital and rarely met. Liu Qi was completely sleepless at the county magistrate's post. You know, Soochow people say
Sun Jian in the Little Overlord is not an ordinary character. He is a thief and a king. It is not easy for Zhao Yun to kill Sun Jian with one move. What's more, Sun Jian's 20,000 soldiers and horses are not vegetarian.
Tomorrow, Sun Jian's 20,000 soldiers and horses must be annexed. There is no choice. Liu Qi is reborn in the Three Kingdoms. He must rise quickly and rebirth the Three Kingdoms. Historical opportunities are not always available. Liu Qi is holding on to the jade railing on the small bridge in the yard.
My heart is ups and downs, how to defeat Sun Jian?
While thinking hard, Liu Qi suddenly had an inspiration and thought of Huang Xu from Huang Wudie. He quickly asked the guard general Chen Dong to send Huang Xu to see him. After whispering like this, Huang Xu took the order and left.
After Huang Xu left, Liu Qi ordered the Wei general Chen Chun to come to Chen Wen and express his concerns: "Second brother, the reason why I didn't say anything when I was with the eldest brother just now is because the eldest brother is soft-hearted. Even if he can defeat Sun Jian tomorrow,
It’s not enough to establish authority.”
Chen Wen also knew that his eldest brother Jiang Wan was not warlike, but he was an expert in governing the country and the county. As the war was about to begin, Liu Qi asked Chen Wen to come alone late at night to discuss the matter. Leaving Jiang Wan aside, he must have something important to entrust him with.
"My lord, I am willing to listen to your lord's orders." Chen Wenzuo bowed.
Liu Qi was not polite, and said with a solemn look: "I have told General Zilong that tomorrow's match will be played first by the young generals of both sides. But Chen Wu will be the first to fight. Zilong only has to face off against Sun Jian. Victory over Sun Jian will be Zilong's promotion."
In the battle of fame, the entire army will be controlled by my second brother before the battle."
"Yes." Chen Wen knew that Liu Qi still had something to say, so he responded humbly and stood aside.
Liu Qi felt a little regretful and sighed: "Oh, Sun Jian will undoubtedly die tomorrow. It is a pity that a generation of little overlords will be killed."
"If you dare to go against your lord, Sun Jian will die. It's God's will." Chen Wen also sighed and listened. Just now Liu Qi revealed his intention to kill people to establish his power. Liu Qi's intention was obvious. Although he regretted Sun Jian's talent,
But in order to gain fame and prestige in one battle, Sun Jian had no way out.
"I don't care how the second brother deploys his troops tomorrow. The result I want is that at the moment when General Zilong defeats Sun Jian, the second brother uses his powerful army to charge forward bravely and divide Sun Jian's 20,000 troops into three sections." Liu Qi.
His eyes were gleaming, and murderous intent was gradually emerging. Chen Wen did not allow him to think about it, and said decisively: "Let three kill, kill seven, and keep ten thousand!"
Chen Wen took a deep breath, the eldest son Liu Qi was going to show off his skills tomorrow. To be precise, he was going to go on a killing spree. Just killing Qiyi, there was no doubt that Liu Qi would kill 7,000 Sun Jian's soldiers with just one word.
"Lord, can you kill less?" Chen Wen asked in a low voice. After all, with seven thousand lives, Chen Wen couldn't be as ruthless as Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was silent and did not answer.
Since Liu Qi, who has always been benevolent and righteous and loves his soldiers like brothers, has made such a decision, he has his own considerations, which are not understandable by ordinary people. Seeing Liu Qi's silence, Chen Wen became determined and said: "Okay, how do you let three kills and seven stay?"
Ten thousand, please let me know clearly, my lord?"
Liu Qi was silent for a moment. When Chen Wen asked a question, Liu Qi had to dispel Chen Wen's concerns. Otherwise, it would be dangerous for him to be regarded as a tyrant in the eyes of the soldiers in the future.
"Once Sun Jian is defeated, the 20,000 soldiers and horses will collapse like a dike. The second brother can take the opportunity to separate into three sections." Liu Qi explained, "Release three, release 3,000 soldiers who discarded their armor and force them to flee to Jiangxia. Xingba
The general received it to supplement the Hankou army."
"Okay." Chen Wen was impressed by Liu Qi's foresight and cheered loudly.
"Conquer Sun Jian's 10,000 surrendered troops to strengthen the Xinye army." Liu Qi said again, "Kill seven, we must kill seven thousand soldiers. If we don't kill, it will not be enough to establish our authority. Those who dare to underestimate our strong army in the future will be frightened and will not fight.
chestnut."
"Yes." Chen Wen clasped his fists. At this point, Chen Wen finally understood Liu Qi's good intentions, killing 7,000 enemy soldiers to establish his authority. Anyone who wants to take advantage of Liu Qi in the new field in the future will have to think carefully. Liu Qi is not
Where is the irritating master?
"This battle is very important. Second brother, please take care." Chen Wen personally sent Chen Wen out of the post. He went back to bed and thought about it. He was secretly surprised that he had the heart to kill seven thousand soldiers. He was confused.
Only by finding an excuse that "kindness does not control soldiers" can I fall asleep with peace of mind.
…
That night, Chen Wu returned to Xinye with his two thousand soldiers who had pretended to be defeated. By this time, it was already twilight and the city gate was closed.
Sun Jian pursued Chen Wu all night, and after a tiring journey, he camped 20,000 soldiers and horses three miles away from the main city of Xinye, and set up fire, preparing to settle down the entire army before challenging Liu Qi.
When the sun rose, the morning glow spread all over the sky. Liu Qi took Jiang Wan, Chen Wen, Zhao Yun and others to watch on the city gate tower. Three miles away, Sun Jian's 20,000 troops and horses were densely packed, but their appearance was neat and majestic.
Chen Wu had faked a defeat of five hundred miles and had long since suppressed his anger. He pointed at Sun Jian's barracks with smoke curling up in the distance and said angrily: "My lord, while Sun thief has traveled a long way and the camp is not stable, send troops to rush over.
We will definitely win in one fell swoop.”
Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "General Wu, don't be anxious. If you can think of it, Sun Polu can also think of it. This is when Sun Jian is at his peak. Don't fight forcefully. If we wait for a while, General Wu will go first."
"Yes." Liu Qi spoke, and Chen Wu clenched his spear, looking forward to a battle with Sun Jian.
Liu Qi turned to Chen Wen and said meaningfully: "Second brother, are you ready?"
Chen Wen looked at Jiang Wan and responded calmly: "It has been done according to the Lord's wishes. The soldiers are gearing up and shouting."
"Okay, let's beat the drum and go out into battle." Liu Qi walked down the tower and joked. The enemy is facing us. Either you die or I die. Will Liu Qi still sympathize with Sun Jian and fight on an empty stomach without breakfast?
