Chapter 282 Advice

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu once said: "If a husband builds a big event, he should not avoid small complaints."

Back then, Zhu Tuan participated in the murder of Liu Xiu's elder brother Liu Yan, and persuaded Emperor Gengshi not to let Liu Xiu go on a tour of Hebei.But later, in order to recruit Zhu Yu who was defending Luoyang, Liu Xiu pointed at Dahe and swore not to pursue his past.When Zhu Yu came out to Hebei, Liu Xiu did not miss his word. He worshiped him as General Pingdi, granted him the Marquis of Fugou, and was appointed to the Shaofu of Jiuqing.

The relationship between him and Ou Xiong was nothing but dirty, far from being immortal, Liu Xiu could even put down the hatred of killing his brother, so Liu Jing would naturally accept Ou Xiong sincerely.

Seeing Liu Jing's promise of "clearing all grievances and grievances in the past", Song Lin was immediately overjoyed, and said: "Mr. Liu is a man of great ability and grandeur. He is really an extraordinary person. From now on, I will wait for Liu Jun The minions, even if their brains and brains are smeared, they will not hesitate."

Liu Jing nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Kuai Yidu supervised the battle before, and was shot by Han Gongfu. How is his injury now?"

Song Lin replied: "Since that day, Kuai Yidu has not appeared in public again. Now Liu Jingzhou's nephew and Zhonglang General Liu Pan are in charge of the military camp affairs. However, all the generals of the Northern Army who had good friends with us all said that Kuai Yidu was seriously injured and could hardly be appointed, so Liu Pan was temporarily appointed as his replacement."

"Oh? That's good news." Liu Jing nodded lightly. The chances of Kuai Yue deliberately pretending to be ill are not high. Given the current situation of the Jingzhou Army, doing so will only make the entire army fearful and uneasy, so Kuai Yue should be suffering Undoubtedly seriously injured.

The only person in the Jingzhou army who can make Liu Jing feel jealous is Kuai Yue, and the rest are all chickens and dogs in his eyes, not worth mentioning.

Then without Liu Jing's questioning, Song Lin poured out all the information about the Jingzhou Army like beans in a bamboo tube, especially mentioning that the Jingzhou Army was going to move their camp to a place with high and dangerous terrain to avoid flooding.

Liu Jing shook his head regretfully, the Jingzhou army's commander is in a bad situation right now, the army's morale is unstable, and Ou Xiong secretly joins him, if he can lead his troops to make a surprise attack when he moves the camp, even if it can't be determined by a single battle, there will be great gains .It's a pity that the water depth outside the city is several feet, making it difficult to move.

But with Ou Xiong's dark chess piece and the confirmation of Kuai Yue's injury, most of Liu Jing's worries disappeared at once.

In the past, his plan was to rely on Ling County to force back the Jingzhou Army and keep the southern part of Changsha and the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang.Now, he vaguely saw a hope of complete victory.

From this we can see how much Ou Xiong's surrender helped him.

After Song Lin withdrew, Cai Sheng took the lead and said: "Liu Jun, we all know who Ou Xiong is. He is arrogant and domineering, remembers his mistakes and forgets his good deeds, and will take revenge. Can he really let go of the hatred in his heart? Is there any deceit in it?"

Ma Zhou also expressed the same doubts.

Chu Fang said: "Ou Xiong and other descendants must have a low status in the Northern Army. They are regarded as slaves and slaves, and they are used too much. How can they not hate it in their hearts? Now the Jingzhou Army looks powerful, but in fact it is already strong on the outside. Ou Yuanbo is in it, so he must be able to see it clearly, so I think Ou Yuanbo is sincerely attached." Chu Fang and Ou Xiong have no personal grievances, so they look at the problem more objectively.

"Ziping's words are exactly what I think." Liu Jing said with a smile: "Hongchao, Zijin, I shouldn't look at Qu Yuanbo with the eyes of the past. Looking at his behavior in recent years, he can be regarded as a man of integrity. .”

Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou looked at each other, and they both admitted their mistakes: "Liu Jun is right, it's because we failed to get rid of our old prejudices..."

Liu Jing waved his hand and said: "Your worries are not completely unreasonable. There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan": "People's hearts are different, for example, their faces." Regarding Ou Xiong, we must also be wary, and we can't believe what he says. "

Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou's expression eased when they heard the words, and their gloom disappeared.

…………

To the south of Linghu Lake, on the east bank of the Xiangshui River, lies the camp of Liu Jingshui Army.

Wang Qiang looked thoughtful as he watched the torrential rain outside and the vastness of the world.

Liu Zong and Liu Zhu were worried about the continuous heavy rain, but they didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.There's nothing they can do about it, they are all monks halfway, and they lived on land most of the time before, so they don't have much experience in this area.

But he is different. His family has dealt with boats and boats for generations. He himself has been in charge of boats for several years and has weathered wind and rain. Therefore, he judges that if the heavy rain rains for a few more days, there will be floods.

Wang Qiang didn't go directly to Liu Zong. The latter had always been biased against him. He wasn't sure whether he could persuade him, so Wang Qiang first went to Liu Zhu.

Compared with Liu Zong, who has a bad relationship, Wang Qiang and Liu Zhu can be said to be close friends. When Liu Jing bought a ship to build a fleet, it was the two who created a water army for Liu Jing from scratch. During this period, the two shared joys and sorrows and forged a profound friendship.

After Wang Qiang saw Liu Zhu, he immediately stated his speculation straight to the point. After Liu Zhu heard this, he made a decisive decision and accompanied him to see Liu Zong.

Liu Zong looked at Wang Qiang, then at Liu Zhu, and finally turned his gaze back to Wang Qiang, and asked, "Are you sure?"

Wang Qiang said in a deep voice: "No, no one dares to judge such a thing. I just make a judgment based on my past experience."

Liu Zong said with a sneer: "Just based on your guess, the tens of thousands of soldiers and husbands in the whole army are exhausted, and they are in trouble day and night?"

Liu Zhu hurriedly interjected, "Sima, Zijian should have some confidence in making this conjecture. What's more, this is a natural disaster. Once a flood breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous. We can't be too cautious."

Liu Zong fell silent after hearing the words.

Wang Qiang said slowly: "Right now, the Jingzhou navy is divided into two. One is stationed on the north bank of Leishui to ensure the smooth passage of the rear and waterways, and the other is stationed on the west bank of Xiangshui to guard the flanks of the infantry battalion. The Jingzhou infantry in the field will bear the brunt, and the second navy will also be blocked by the flood, making it difficult to join forces."

Liu Zong stood up involuntarily, with a serious look on his face that he had never seen before.

Wang Qiang continued: "If we make sufficient preparations in advance, when the flood occurs, we will sail forward by boat, attack the unintentional with intention, and attack the unprepared with preparedness, and we will surely smash the water army on the west bank of the Xiangshui River in one battle. As long as this battle After winning, whether it is going north to attack Cai Mao on the north bank of Leishui, or going west to capture the infantry full of fish and crabs, everything will be satisfactory."

Liu Zong's mouth was dry for a while, if it was as Wang Qiang said, it would be an unworldly feat, with his heart, his heart would be beating violently, and he couldn't help himself.

"Sima..." Liu Zhu said anxiously.

Liu Zong stared at Wang Qiang's ordinary and gloomy face for a long time, and said, "Okay! Everything will be done as you said."
