239 Two generals will fight for merit

"Sun Jun is menacing, is it out of the village to meet the battle or to hold it behind closed doors?"

Since he offended the Ten Standing Servants and was removed from the post of Zhonglang General three years ago, Lu Zhi has never been in charge of the military again. At this moment, the war is coming, and I suddenly find myself feeling powerless. Before I knew it, there were tiny beads of sweat oozing from my forehead.

"Ahem......"

Lu Zhi suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and coughed violently for a while before stopping. The reason for this reaction, in addition to the deterioration of his body, is also related to the huge pressure brought by Sun Jian.

Since the time of the Yellow Turban, Sun Jian has been invincible and has made a great reputation, known as the "Jiangdong Tiger". When the princes attacked Dong, Sun Jian became the only prince who fought against the Xiliang army alone and did not fall behind, and the world knew Sun Jian's reputation for being good at war. is about to fight with such a general, and it is a water battle that Lu Zhi has never been involved in, which makes him even more stressed.

"Lu Gong, are you okay?"

Seeing that Lu Zhi was coughing severely, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin accepted their eager gestures and asked with concern.

Lu Zhi took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corner of his lower lip, waving his hand: "It's okay, it's okay...... I'm old and can't stand the cold! ”

He turned his head and instructed the guards in front of the tent: "Quickly go to Chaisang City to invite Lu Zijing, and go to Sang Luozhou to invite Han Shizhong to discuss countermeasures!" ”

Since he went to Chaisang to serve as the governor of the capital, Lu Zhi made a clear division of labor: he sent Lu Su to the city of Chaisang to deal with government affairs and supply grain and grass for 40,000 horses, while he sat in the camp with Gan Ning and Jiang Qin. And Han Shizhong walked around Chaisang by boat for a long time. Immediately found Lu Zhi in a hurry, and offered to give him a team of men and horses, and stationed troops in Sang Luozhou.

Sangluk Chau is a sandbar in the Yangtze River. The river to the east of Chaisang City was split in two in the middle, and the river flowed eastward from both sides, but it could not flood the sandbar.

Sangluozhou is 1,000 zhang long from east to west, more than 200 zhang wide from north to south, with a radius of 12 hectares, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people. Before Han Shizhong arrived, Gan Ning only set up more than a dozen arrow towers on it. Five or six catapults were placed, and five hundred men were stationed to guard them.

Han Shizhong saw that the defense on this sandbar was so weak. I couldn't help but be startled, and I was secretly afraid in my heart: "Fortunately, it came early, if Sun Jianjun forcibly captured this sandbar, it would be equivalent to having an unsinkable giant ship." Chaisang is in danger! ”

Han Shizhong discussed with his wife Liang Hongyu. Immediately drove a boat to see Lu Zhi in the camp of the sailor, and asked for a team of men and horses to be allocated to garrison Sangluozhou.

After Gan Ning and Jiang Qin heard about it, they opposed Han Shizhong's request.

According to Gan Ning's idea, Sangluokzhou is lonely in the middle of the river, and if there are too few troops stationed on the continent, it is likely to be surrounded and attacked by Sun Jian's heavy troops, and finally lead to the annihilation of the entire army. If there are too many troops, it will weaken the power of the water village and the guardian Chaisang. If you don't get it right, Sun Jianjun will destroy the Shui Shi Dazhai in one go, and then threaten Chaisang.

In short, in Gan Ning's eyes. Sang Luozhou in the river is a piece of chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon it, and the food is tasteless. It's better to send some soldiers to resist, and if you can keep it, you can't abandon it.

Han Shizhong did not agree with Gan Ning's opinion, thinking that once Sang Luozhou was handed over to Sun Jian. It is equivalent to giving the handle to the other party. Sun Jianjun could not only use Sangluzhou as a base to storm Chaisang, but also use Sangluokzhou as a stronghold. Block the downward channel of Chaisang, cut off the water connection between Chaisang and the downstream, and then divide the troops downwards and go straight to Jinling.

Gan Ning and Han Shizhong said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and it was difficult for Lu Zhi to choose for a while.

remembered that Liu Wei's original intention of letting him come to Chaisang to serve as the governor was to help Han Shizhong speak, so he immediately stood on Han Shizhong's side and allocated him 8,000 soldiers and 50 warships to Jiangxin to guard Sangluozhou.

Han Shizhong thanked Lu Zhi for his trust, and immediately took his wife and led 8,000 soldiers to Sangluozhou to station.

For half a month, they have been working day and night, erecting a fence around the sandbar, building more than a dozen arrow towers, transporting seven or eight catapults from the shore and arranging them in various corners, piling up a large number of rocks, and still being busy.

After receiving the call of Lu Zhi's guard, Han Shizhong immediately put down what he was doing, took a ship with his wife Liang Hongyu, and went straight to the Sailor Dazhai with 100 personal soldiers. Moored the ship in the dock, jumped ashore, and strode straight to the tent.

"Meet Duke Lu and all the generals and lords!"

Han Shizhong walked in front, dressed in a military uniform, wearing a red cloak, heroic and cool, and the tall Liang Hongyu followed his own man step by step, saluting Lu Zhi and the generals together.

Lu Zhi nodded and motioned for Han Shizhong to take a seat. And Lu Su arrived one step earlier, and now he can officially convene a military meeting.

Lu Zhi told the military situation simply and clearly, and finally glanced at the generals: "Sun Jian's army is pressing the border, and it is menacing, how do you think the generals should deal with it?" ”

"Hit, what else?"

Gan Ning sat opposite Han Shizhong, and his eyes fell on Liang Hongyu's body. When I saw this heroic woman, I thought of Mu Guiying, why didn't I meet a beautiful woman who could dance with a gun and a knife? It's also a beautiful scenery to follow when you're fighting!

Jiang Qin clenched his fists and echoed: "What Xingba said is extremely true, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, and we are deeply favored by the emperor. After two years of training as a soldier in Chaisang, now that Sun Jian dares to attack, what else can he do? One word, let him have no return! ”

"Hey...... Gongyi, do you know how to count? Is there a word that comes and goes? ”

For some reason, Gan Ning suddenly made a joke with Jiang Qin for no reason, and then felt that something was wrong, and immediately said, "Ahem...... The atmosphere is a little tense, so just kidding! Let's get back to business, I have the same opinion as Jiang Gongyi, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, go out of the village to meet the enemy, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”

Han Shizhong got up and gave a round salute, and said solemnly: "Gong Lu, Mr. Zijing, General Xingba, General Gongyi, in the view of loyalty, Sun Jun came down the river, and his morale is strong, and it is not the best policy to directly attack his front. It's better to retreat, and when it comes to attack my water village, first use catapults and arrow towers to attack, and wait for the opponent's sharp spirit to be frustrated, and then go out of the village to attack the enemy, maybe you can get unexpected results! ”

Gan Ning's face was displeased when he heard this, and he was very disgusted with Han Shizhong, why did this guy always go against himself? The enemies are all killed, and you are still here rambling, without a bit of manly arrogance, I don't understand how the woman behind you takes a fancy to you?

Gan Ning clasped his hands in front of his chest and said loudly: "The art of war is 'waiting for work with ease, and winning the game is safe', and defending the door behind closed doors will not only boost the morale of the enemy army, but also weaken the morale of our army!" In case Sun Jianjun desperately approached the water village and set a fire, my hard work in the past two years will come to naught! Even if you defend your Sang Luozhou, a certain self and Jiang Gongyi will go out of the village to meet the enemy! ”

Jiang Qin also patted his chest and agreed: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, why be afraid? Our army not only occupies the time but also occupies the advantage, and the ships transferred from Jinling help us, even if it hits Sun Jianjun's ship, it can sink him! Why do you give up your strengths and take your weaknesses and nest in the camp to be beaten? Let the enemy army get ahead of you! ”

"What does Zijing think should he choose?"

Lu Zhi had a headache again, turned his gaze to Lu Su, and asked.

Lu Su thought about it for a while and supported Gan Ning's construction: "It's dark, Sun Jian's army is not as familiar with the terrain on the river as our army, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it is better to let the two generals Gan and Jiang go out of the camp to fight, first feel how the combat power of Sun Jian's vanguard is, and then make a decision!" ”

Seeing that Lu Su supported the initiative to face the battle, Han Shizhong had no choice but to change his construction: "If the two generals insist on fighting, Zhong has a plan!" The water around Sangluozhou is shallow, and a certain person has ordered people to set up many hidden piles, and the two generals can lead Sun Jun to the vicinity of Sangluozhou by deception. At that time, Sun's big ship will inevitably run aground, Zhong led his troops to smash with catapults on the sandbank, shoot angrily on the arrow tower, and the two generals will turn the bow of the ship to counterattack, which will inevitably inflict heavy damage on the enemy! ”

After listening to Han Shizhong's words, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin glanced at each other with an expression of understanding.

"Hey...... Speaking of which, you're planning to take credit for yourself? This abacus is really shrewd! I just promise with my mouth, but I don't do what you say, see if you can bear me? ”

"Okay, just according to General Han's words!"

Although Han Shizhong's position is the right governor side by side with him, his title is only a partial general, even lower than Jiang Qin. Therefore, Gan Ning did not take Han Shizhong seriously.

Now that the generals have reached an agreement, Lu Zhi made the final decision.

15,000 men and horses were allocated to Gan Ning and Jiang Qin, and more than 100 large and small ships were allocated, and they immediately left the village to meet the enemy upstream. Try to lure Sun Jun to the area of Sangluozhou, strive to run the opponent's big ship aground, and then use catapults and arrow towers to deal heavy damage. Another 6,000 men and 50 ships were allocated to Lu Su, and then they responded. He ordered Han Shizhong and his wife to return to Sangluzhou immediately and prepare to beat the water dogs.

The order is like a mountain, and the soldiers are fast.

Gan Ning and Jiang Qin immediately ordered 15,000 elite soldiers, and under the leadership of the copycat version of the treasure ship, they were surrounded by two building boats on the left and right, followed by fighting ships, ships, walkers and other ships of different sizes. They lit the torches together, and the shining river surface was like daylight, and they went up the river mightily, ready to compete with the vanguard of Sun Jianjun.

The copycat version of Zheng He's treasure ship was named "Ship", which was thirty-three zhang long and had a sturdy hull, which was larger than the largest building ship of this period. Cleaving the waves in the river, like a wolf, leading the other boats behind him.

Jiang Qin carried a simple knife on the deck and looked down on the other boats, letting the river wind blow his clothes and hunting.

He said to Gan Ning with great ambition: "Haha...... With such a giant to help, Sun Jianjun is guaranteed to fight in this battle! not only destroyed his vanguard team, but also traced the river to take Sun Jian's Chinese army, and returned with his head! Let the Jiangdong generals know that you and I can also use soldiers! (To be continued)
