"What's the trouble? Someone just robbed our army's rations!" Gan Ning waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Jiangxia has 20,000 elite soldiers. The Jiangdong Army will definitely not be able to defeat them. The most they can do is rob me on the road.
Army rations! In a moment, I will personally lead the team to escort the rations. Not to mention that Zhou Tai is injured, even if he is intact and comes with Jiang Qin, he is not my opponent!"
"No!" Lu Xun said with a bitter smile: "If you go, what will happen here? Although Zhou Tai cannot go to the battle, our army cannot stop Jiang Qin! If he dives and runs to my ship, my head will be moved.
It doesn't matter if I die, but if I miss the important event of King Qin, wouldn't it mean that I will die without redemption?"
"This..." Gan Ning was stunned for a moment. He had really forgotten about Jiang Qin. After thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said, "How about you go and collect the grain?"
"What if the person leading the team to rob the grain is Jiang Qin?" Lu Xun shrugged, his face full of helplessness. Gan Ning also had black lines on his head. It wasn't that he thought Lu Xun was afraid of death, but that his subordinates felt that he was afraid of death.
The generals are somewhat lacking.
Thinking of the generals under his command, Gan Ning suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Commander, we have it! A few days ago, I recruited two young generals, and their martial arts are quite extraordinary! Why don't you take them to escort the food and grass? If Jiang Qin leads the team,
They can protect you from leaving. If Jiang Qin had not led the team, I think there are few Jiangdong generals who can match them!!"
"Oh?" Lu Xun said: "Xingba, you rarely praise outsiders. It seems that you are very satisfied with those two boys!"
"Indeed!" Gan Ning nodded and said with a smile on his face: "Despite their young age, these two boys are really brave. A few days ago, I was patrolling the Yangtze River and saw the flag of our army. They actually
They dared to rob! When the two sides started to attack, the two of them actually supported me for dozens of moves, and they commanded the navy very well. I was moved in my heart, so I took them in. It is said that they not only robbed our army
, and even robbed Jiangdong Army of military rations! How can I let such a talent go!"
"What a good boy, you are really not an idle person!" Lu Xun asked with a smile: "They robbed Jiangdong Army, didn't Sun Quan think of a way?"
Gan Ning chuckled and said, "Why didn't you think about it? But in the Jiangdong Army, except for Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, even Huang Gai and others were mediocre at water combat! Although those two boys were barely good at water combat, they were not good at water combat.
But he is quite talented. He defeated the Jiangdong Army that was encircling them. After two defeats, Sun Quan was not in the mood to cause trouble for them!"
"Come to think of it, it's our army's credit that they were not encircled and suppressed by Jiangdong's army!" Lu Xun immediately understood the reason why the two young generals were spared. Jiangdong has been at war with the Qin army for several years, how could he have time to deal with water thieves? If they were ordinary water thieves
That's all, but he is a water thief with outstanding abilities. Thinking back then, Liu Biao didn't want to deal with the Jinfan thief and the robbery, but he was not strong enough, so what could he do?
"That makes sense!" Gan Ning thought for a moment and realized that it was really the case. He couldn't help but smile and said, "No wonder they heard that I wanted to recruit them and they immediately agreed. I feel that our army is kind to them!"
"Maybe they just sent it to you!" Lu Xun laughed and said: "The Jinfan thief is famous in Jingxiang, and now he uses the name Jinfan to show his talents under the command of King Qin. I guess all the thieves in the world are envious of Xingba's fortune.
Woolen cloth!"
If someone dared to call Gan Ning a thief in the past, Gan Ning would definitely beat his head into his stomach. But now Gan Ning no longer taboos the word thief, because Liu Zhang said: You Gan Ning are a thief.
But you can turn from a thief into a world-famous general, this is your ability!
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" As if he hadn't heard Lu Xun call himself a Jinfan thief, Gan Ning said with emotion: "Back then, when I was young and naughty, I ran rampant in the world and did many illegal things. When I wanted to make contributions, I failed.
No one accepts me. Under the old master’s command, I am just a mere soldier. If the king didn’t appreciate me, I might still be a bandit on the river!”
Lu Xun smiled and said: "The king said that gold will always shine. If it weren't for the king, maybe you would be a general in Jiangdong!"
"Exactly..." Gan Ning said disdainfully: "What the hell is the Jiangdong Sun family? They are not even worthy of carrying the king's shoes. Just look at the troubles their brothers have made. They can't even tolerate their own brothers. How can they tolerate outsiders? Hang out with Sun Quan.
I really have to worry about losing sight of the birds!"
"That's a great thing to say!" Lu Xun said: "To promote hegemony, soldiers need to be quick. Quickly ask the two young generals to organize the troops and follow me to escort the food and grass. Although our army still has three days of food, it will take one day to go back.
.If we encounter some trouble, we have to postpone it for a while. Even if my soldiers can endure the hunger and pain, if the king knows about it, you and I will have to be punished for a while!"
"Don't worry, Boyan. I've prepared ten thousand people for you. Is it enough?" Gan Ning's face was full of pride. He was extremely confident in his soldiers!
"It should be enough!" Lu Xun said: "Jiangdong is preparing to send troops to support Cao Cao. Even if they come to aid Xiakou, there won't be many soldiers. I will take more than 10,000 people and transfer 5,000 elite soldiers from Jiangxia. As long as the enemy army does not have generals,
Even if there are 30,000 to 50,000 troops, they are still no match for our army!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!" After spending several years with Lu Xun, Gan Ning knew his abilities and naturally would not doubt his judgment. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 10,000 elite soldiers gathered, and the leaders were two...
A young general under ten years old!
Looking at the soldiers with their heads held high, and then at the two high-spirited young generals, Lu Xun couldn't help but say hello. He hammered the seemingly calm young general on the chest and asked, "What's your name?"
"Reporting to the military advisor, the last general, Ding Feng, is named Chengyuan!" The young general looked forward and performed a military salute.
"Ding Chengyuan, that's good!" Lu Xun nodded, then came to the other young general and asked, "What's your name again?"
"General Xu Shengzi Wenxiang!" Another young general also performed a military salute and loudly announced his name!
"You intercepted General Gan because you wanted to defect to our army, but you couldn't find a reason to meet him, so you made this move. I'm right, right!" Lu Xun rolled his eyes and said something that made the two of them very embarrassed.
"The military advisor is right!" They touched their heads and felt a little embarrassed. But they understood that it was better to tell the truth than to lie in front of smart people. With their wisdom, they would definitely not be able to hide it from Lu Xun!
"Two sneaky boys!" Lu Xun said with a smile: "If you defect to our army directly, the King of Qin will welcome you, so why use such methods? Doing so will not only stain your own reputation, but if you meet a narrow-minded person,
You may even lose your life! Even if your life is safe, having such a bad reputation as a robber will delay your future!"
"Military advisor, as the saying goes: The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king! Although we are not said to be talented in the world, we are quite capable. If we don't even have this kind of magnanimity, how can we be worthy of being our lord? Besides,
"The King of Qin can even take in a big thief like Jinfan, let alone two little thieves?" Ding Feng curled his lips, not knowing whether he was too confident in himself or very confident in Liu Zhang!
"You dare to compete with me?" Gan Ning quit. How could his ability be compared to that of two young generals?
Xu Sheng said: "Why can't we compare? You are a thief, and we are also thieves! It's just that you are an old thief, and we are little thieves!"
"You..." Gan Ning was speechless. Although the Qin army valued military law, as long as military orders were not involved, the atmosphere between the generals was very harmonious. Even though Gan Ning was very fierce when killing enemies, he still treated his soldiers very well.
He was so kind that even a small soldier dared to joke with him, let alone the bold Ding Feng and Xu Sheng?
Seeing Gan Ning deflated, Lu Xun burst out laughing. He shook his head and said, "Xingba, stop talking nonsense! Just keep an eye on the Jiangdong Army camp on the river, and I'll set off right now!"
"Bo Yan, be careful!" Gan Ning also knew that the situation was urgent, so he stopped playing around and said in a deep voice: "Chengyuan, Wen Xiang, protect the military advisor and don't make any mistakes, otherwise I won't be able to spare you.
!”
"Don't worry, general. If the military advisor is missing half a hair when he comes back, we'll see him with his head raised!" Ding Feng and Xu Sheng looked determined, making Gan Ning nod with satisfaction!
"Let's go!" Lu Xun waved his hand and led the army towards Jiangxia.
Along the way, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng were always guarding Lu Xun. Looking at the advancing army behind them, they couldn't help but feel a little proud. Throughout history, there were only a few people who were commanders of an army at a young age.
They were also very happy for their choice that day! Thinking that Jiang Dong had also sent someone to win over them, they both felt unhappy.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing the different expressions on the two people's faces, Lu Xun was a little curious.
"I didn't think about anything!" Xu Sheng said with a smile: "I just remembered that Jiangdong sent people to win over me, but we rejected him!"
"Oh?" Lu Xun said with a smile: "The Jiangdong navy is crossing the Yangtze River, why do you refuse? You must know that Sun Quan has incompetent people. With your ability, as long as you join his command, you will definitely be able to show your talents!"
"Exhibiting one's talents? I think there is no place for death!" Xu Sheng said disdainfully: "Although we are reckless, we also know what to do. If Jiangdong can make good use of the Yangtze River's natural moat, there is still some hope. But back then
We only have a hundred people, so Jiangdong's army is helpless. With King Qin's wisdom and martial arts, General Gan's unparalleled martial arts, and the unparalleled wisdom of you and Zhou's military advisor, Jiangdong may be unable to save himself. Rather than die with Jiangdong, it would be better to die with him.
The Qin army started from the grassroots level! Therefore, in order to make General Gan appreciate it, we used some tricks!"
Lu Xun smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid of being killed by General Gan? If General Gan is jealous of his talents, you will be doomed!"
"Military advisor, please don't scare us. With the character of the King of Qin, how can he use someone who is envious of talents and talents? Besides, General Gan is a tycoon in the world. He is popular and heroic, how can he be jealous of talents and talents?" He praised Gan Ning.
, but Xu Sheng secretly thought in his heart: "If we don't even understand the other person's character and send him to our door, wouldn't we be fools?" Of course, this sentence cannot be said to Lu Xun!
While talking and laughing, Lu Xun and others arrived in Jiangxia. Seeing Lu Xun's arrival in person, the prefect of Jiangxia was startled and quickly asked him why he was here. Hearing that the navy had not received rations for six days, the prefect of Jiangxia broke into a cold sweat.
My clothes were soaked. I quickly called the quartermaster, only to learn that the rations had been sent out twice. Even the governor of Jiangxia, as slow as he was, understood the cause and effect!
For fear of delaying Lu Xun's important event, the prefect of Jiangxia ordered the military quartermaster to allocate half a month's supply of food and grass to the navy camp. However, Lu Xun suspected that there was still a Jiangdong army lingering near Jiangxia, so he only wanted three days' supply of food and prepared to use the food as bait!
The governor of Jiangxia would not disobey Lu Xun's order and immediately ordered five thousand troops to escort three days of rations to the navy camp!
Three thousand civilians pushed the grain cart, and under the protection of five thousand elite Qin troops, they slowly drove towards the navy camp on the riverside. The Qin soldiers were always tough, knowing that enemies would intercept the grain, but they were not afraid at all.
Walk forward. Not far away, Lu Xun led his army to carefully observe the surrounding situation, but he did not know that there was also an army observing Di Qing on the road ahead!
"General Cheng, there are grain trucks coming out of Jiangxia City again!" Jiangdong Army scouts were very happy to find Cheng Pu, and successfully robbed grain twice in a row, which made Jiangdong's soldiers full of confidence!
"No, how could another batch of grain and grass be shipped out so quickly?" Cheng Pu was a veteran, and he immediately realized the problem. Jiangxia City just shipped out a batch of military grain yesterday, so there is no reason to ship out another batch today. He passed two tribulations
When it came time to collect grain, I discovered that the Qin army’s grain shipments were shipped every three days. This time, the grain shipment seemed a bit abnormal!
The scout smiled and said: "General, the navy on the riverside has not received food and grass for six days. No matter how stupid the Qin army general is, he has discovered the problem. They have sent people to urge food supplies again! This morning, our army is not
Did you find a group of Qin troops rushing towards Jiangxia?"
"This..." Cheng Pu finally remembered the information from the morning. He smiled and asked, "How many people did the Qin army have in the morning?"
The scout replied: "About ten thousand people!"
"Where are the troops escorting the food and grass this time?"
"Excluding the common people, there are about five thousand people!"
"It seems that the Qin army knew that our army was robbing food, so they used this batch of food and grass to lure our army!" Cheng Pu smiled slightly and guessed what Lu Xun was thinking.
"Then should we rob this batch of food and grass?" Looking at Cheng Pu, the scout hesitated. Although he was a pawn, he still understood the principle of baiting soldiers and not eating them!
"Tribulation!" Cheng Pu said: "We just want to cut off Gan Ning's food route. If we let them pass, Xiakou will be in danger. We take some risks, but we can guarantee that Xiakou will not be lost. Isn't it a good deal?"
"It all depends on the general's orders!" The scout is also a die-hard member of Jiangdong and a close confidant of Cheng Pu. Seeing that Cheng Pu has made up his mind, he will not fall behind!
"If you can defeat the Qin army, I will recommend you as a general when I go back!" Looking at the scout half-kneeling in front of him, Cheng Pu was also quite moved. This man's merits are enough to be a general, but he still remains.
Be the leader of the scout camp beside Cheng Pu, laying the foundation for Cheng Pu's victory!
As usual, the scout rejected Cheng Pu's kindness. He smiled and said: "Thank you, general, I still like to be a scout! Besides, even if I want to be recommended, I have to win this battle..."
