A fishing boat sailed against the current, using the cover of night to speed upstream.
The confident Zhou Yu didn't know that Yan Liang, who seemed to be relaxed, was paying close attention to his movements all the time.
The number of craftsmen densely located near Wankou has increased several times compared with usual, and the latest movements of the Wu people will be reported to Chaisang almost every day.
There are many dangers when sailing at night. Zhou Yu wanted to use the cover of night to hide his whereabouts, but he had to slow down the speed of sailing.
Wu Jun's 30,000 soldiers and nearly 700 warships could only move slowly upstream at less than half the usual speed.
It was precisely because of this that the craftsman was able to save half a day and arrive at Hukou Camp at dawn the next day.
At this time, Lu Meng and Ling Tong, who had gotten up early, were patrolling the camps as usual.
The ship docked, and the intelligence of the Wu army's large-scale dispatch was carefully prepared, and the two of them were notified immediately.
"My lord, you are really good at predicting events. Zhou Yu actually sent troops!" Ling Tong was stunned when he heard the news.
Lü Meng was equally astonished and deeply shocked by the news.
Previously, Yan Liang withdrew his troops and returned to the west. Before leaving, he informed the two of them that Zhou Yu would soon arrive in full force, and asked them to be relaxed in defense and be on guard secretly.
At that time, the Wu army was huddled in Wankou, with strong walls and clear fields. No matter how provocative Yan Jun was, he refused to fight.
Even though Lu Meng was extremely resourceful, he was still thinking about how Wu Jun dared to take the initiative to attack if he was determined to hold on.
But now, the facts are before us. Not only did Zhou Yu attack, but he also mobilized his entire army and came in full force with the intention of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat.
This astonishing fact once again demonstrates Yan Liang's incredible judgment.
After the surprise, excitement suddenly appeared in Ling Tong's eyes, "Wu Jun came just in time. I was worried that he would not go to the battle. In this case, we will kill him without leaving any trace."
"Zhou Yu is approaching with great ferocity. You and I, with our 20,000 navy troops, are no match for him. Since my lord has told us before that we should stand firm and not fight, we should strictly abide by your lord's instructions."
Ling Tong had a desire for revenge, but Lu Meng always remained calm.
Yan Liang made an explanation before leaving. Among the generals of the Hukou Army, Lu Meng was the leader and Ling Tong was his deputy. Since Lu Meng was determined to hold on, Ling Tong could only suppress his anger.
Immediately, Lu Meng sent a speedboat to Chaisang upstream to report to Yan Liang urgently. At the same time, he summoned the generals at Hukou and quickly deployed a strategy to stand firm and wait for help.
In the Hukou Fortress, 20,000 Yanjun soldiers were quickly mobilized. The soldiers, who had been resting for a long time, entered their respective posts in an orderly manner, waiting for the arrival of the Wu people with excitement and excitement.
Chaisang City, Military Mansion.
At this time, Yan Liang was sipping wine with Pang Tong and discussing the art of war.
This is not the first time.
The civil and military officers under his command were all very surprised as to why their lord treated the unattractive scholar from Xiangyang with such courtesy and respect, as if he had met a close friend.
Although Pang Tong is known as Fengchu, his reputation is only limited to a corner of Jingzhou. Whether it is Jia Xu, Xu You, or Tian Feng, which one of them is not a wise man who is famous all over the world, and who is not more famous than Pang Tong?
.
However, Yan Liang's treatment of the counselor had never been so kind to Pang Tong.
Everyone is curious about what is so special about Pang Tong that Yan Liang pays so much attention to him.
The sound of rapid footsteps interrupted Yan Liang's conversation and laughter.
A scout from Hukou walked straight into the lobby.
"I am reporting to my lord that General Ziming has reported that Zhou Yu has mobilized all his troops from Wankou and rushed to Hukou to kill them. Please tell me, lord."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. Everyone's eyes almost unanimously looked at Yan Liang.
Their horrified looks seemed like they couldn't believe that their lord had once again made a correct prediction.
What an astonishing ability to foresee, even though they had seen it many times, the ministers still could not suppress their wonder at Yan Liang.
Although Yan Liang's heart also flashed with excitement, his appearance remained calm and calm.
Everything is as expected.
Yan Liang just waved his hand and said calmly: "What's the big fuss? Send the order and order all the generals to act according to the plan."
The horrified and silent hall froze for a moment before everyone suddenly woke up and immediately fell into excitement.
Everyone went away excitedly, conveying Yan Liang's orders and preparing to send troops.
Everyone was busy, except Yan Liang and Pang Tong, who sat there calmly, as if they were not involved.
"Shi Yuan, your serial alienation plan has indeed worked. I think it's time to inform them of your wonderful plan." Yan Liang turned his eyes to Pang Tong.
Pang Tong took a sip of wine and said with a slight smile: "It's not urgent. It won't be too late to wait until my lord wins the battle. Otherwise, how can I, Pang Tong, be so famous?"
Yan Liang smiled.
After Zhou Yu is defeated and the road to Moling is opened, at that time, the entire army's civil and military forces will be in an unprecedented state of excitement, and they will all be delighted and amazed that their lord knows things like a god.
At this time, Yan Liang will expose the truth again and push out Pang Tong who offered the plan. By then, Pang Tong's reputation will reach its peak in an instant.
From being unknown to becoming a blockbuster, this is the shortest path Pang Tong designed for himself to become Yan Liang's mastermind.
"I see, I understand."
Yan Liang understood Pang Tong's thoughts. This superb counselor had accomplished such a great feat for himself, and all he wanted was to become a blockbuster. How could Yan Liang be stingy?
Putting aside the matter of Pang Tong for the time being, Yan Liang got up and left the house, riding his horse straight to the water village in the north of the city.
Before entering the village, looking from a distance, one could see that the water village was already full of people, and the soldiers on the trestle were busy taking off the disguises of the vehicles and ships.
In order to confuse the people of Wu, Gan Ning broke his fleet of vehicles and ships into parts, mixed them with the fleet transporting grain, and secretly entered Chaisang from Xiakou in batches.
At this time, Zhou Yu had taken the bait and the order to attack had been issued. Naturally, it was time to tear off the disguise.
Cars and boats slowly left the water camp one by one, and according to the prior plan, began to gather on the river to form a marching formation.
At the shore, Gan Ning was ready to board the largest vehicle and ship specially built for him. The tonnage of this vehicle and ship was already close to that of Wu Jun's large ship.
After the Battle of Chaisang, Yan Jun captured Wu Tu and captured many outstanding Jiangdong shipwrights. It was precisely because of the exquisite skills of these shipwrights that the shipyards in Jingzhou were able to build such huge ships.
Yan Liang admired his mighty warships along the way. Feeling excited, he rode straight up the trestle.
When Gan Ning saw Yan Liang approaching, he hurriedly rode up to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "Ten thousand soldiers and one hundred fifty chariots and ships are already in place. We are just waiting for the Lord's order."
"Xingba, do you still remember your combat mission?" Yan Liang reined in his horse and asked loudly.
"General Ning will lead his fleet of chariots and ships down the river eastward to attack the Wu army attacking Hukou. After defeating the Wu army, he pursues them and will not give up until he captures the Wankou Fortress." Gan Ning repeated his mission without hesitation.
Yan Liang nodded slightly, very satisfied.
He rode forward, patted Gan Ning's shoulder and said, "Xingba, whether I can defeat Jiangdong depends on you in this battle."
"Lord, when has Gan Ning ever let you down?" Gan Ning's face was full of confidence, and his words were full of pride and determination.
From Xiangyang to Xiakou, from Xiakou to Chaisang, there were countless water battles. Gan Ning did not let Yan Liang down.
Gan Ning's victorious battles were also the reason why Yan Liang dared to hand over his weapon of water warfare to him.
Without further words, Yan Liang waved his hand fiercely and said boldly: "Go ahead and kill the Wu people without leaving a single piece of armor behind. Kill them as fast as you can."
"I will go eventually!"
Gan Ning also acted vigorously, turned around, rode his horse and stepped onto the warship.
Wuwuwu——
The loud and distant horn sound sounded, and in the high-spirited and exciting horn sound, a fleet of vehicles and ships formed in formation on the river, taking advantage of the momentum of the current, speeding away, and swept towards the downstream in a mighty manner.
.
Yan Liang stood on the trestle, raising his head and watching his expeditionary soldiers until the last warship disappeared from his sight.
At this moment, in his mind, the general trend was unfolding.
The messengers carrying the order have already rushed to Changsha and Xiakou. It won't be long before the Huang Zhong and Wei Yan armies in the south of the Yangtze River will converge and advance towards Moling from the south bank.
Zhang Liao from Xiakou will also lead his infantry to march eastward from the north bank.
At the middle waterway, there will be his 30,000 elite navy troops, advancing in three directions, heading straight to the east of the Yangtze River.
"Sun Quan, clean your anus and wait for it to be exploded!"
Yan Liang sneered, drove his horse to Chaisang City, and went straight back to the military mansion.
The armies from all directions have already marched out, and the war is about to break out. As the commander-in-chief, Yan Liang can no longer lie high in Chaisang.
After a little preparation, Yan Liang will set off eastward, following Gan Ning's vanguard fleet of vehicles and ships, and go to the front line to control the overall situation.
At this time, the entire military government knew that the war was about to start, and Zhou Cang and other pro-army troops were already preparing for the expedition.
When Yan Liang returned to the room, Ma Yunlu and Sun Shangxiang were already waiting there. The two women were fully armed and looked like they were ready to join the army.
Obviously, the two of them also learned about the impending war.
Ma Yunlu had accompanied Yan Liang on several expeditions to the east and west, so there was nothing wrong with her if she wanted to follow him, and Yan Liang did not stop him.
However, Yan Liang touched Sun Shangxiang's face and said lightly: "You don't want to go to this battle. Some things are better out of sight and out of mind."
Sun Shangxiang's eyes moved, and he knew Yan Liang's intention. He knew that his husband was going to destroy his natal family in this battle, and he would not let her go with the army, and he also didn't want to make her unhappy.
"That concubine is here waiting for your husband. However, I still have something to ask for from my husband." Sun Shangxiang looked eager.
"Tell me." In Yan Liang's opinion, Sun Shangxiang probably wanted to spare the life of his second brother Sun Quan after he destroyed Wu.
Sun Shangxiang said: "If my husband is to conquer Jiangdong in this battle, I don't dare to ask for farewell. I just want to ask my husband to spare the life of my nephew Sun Shao." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels.
