Chapter 293

There is so much military supplies and food in the Jingzhou barracks that it cannot be evacuated in a short time. Liu Jing left Liu Xiu, Zheng Zheng and others to take charge of this matter, while he was going back to Ling County to prepare a celebration party and reward the soldiers.

At this time, Wang Qiang came to see him suddenly, and Liu Jing seemed very friendly to this hero who helped him nearly wipe out the Jingzhou army, and said back: "Zijian, you are so eager to come to see me, but what do you want?" thing?"

Wang Qiang's ordinary face was as deep as ever, and he said slowly: "Liu Jun, the northern army is not completely annihilated this time, there are still dozens of warships such as Cai Mao who have escaped. And the northern army is in Linxiang, Luoxian, Baqiu, etc. There are still thousands of people in the land, if they are left alone, it will not be easy for Cai Mao to gather his troops calmly, stabilize Linxiang, and regain the land of Changsha in the future."

Liu Jing couldn't help nodding his head. He naturally thought about this matter, and sighed: "Don't I know the truth of 'If you kill a tiger, you will leave trouble'? However, our army has suffered many casualties during the continuous battle. There are no more than ten thousand people in total, even if they go all the way to the north, it will not be enough to drive all the northern troops out of Jingnan."

Wang Qiang had a plan in mind, and said: "If the Northern Army can be calmed down, it is true that as Liu Jun said, a mere ten thousand troops are not enough to defeat the Northern Army. Like a frightened bird, you don't need too many troops, just the villain's navy is enough to take back Linxiang."

"Liu Jun has always been kind to the people of Linxiang. Now Linxiang has only been surrendered by the Northern Army, and the hearts of the people have not been attached. If you hear that the Northern Army is gone, and see our army coming, the people of Linxiang will definitely be happy. They will attack and kill at any time. Northern Army, open the door and eat pots of pulp to welcome our army."

"Linxiang is certain, and the counties in the north of Changsha will also compete to kill officials and respond to our army. At that time, although Changsha is large, there will be no place for the Northern Army."

Liu Jing turned his head to look at Wang Qiang. He was indeed a gambler who was once addicted to gambling. He had amazing courage, dared to take risks, and dared to gamble.

However, it has to be said that although his plan is radical, it has a very high hope of success, and even if it fails, there is no risk.

Liu Jing was filled with emotion for a moment. He rescued Wang Qiang at first, but he did it casually. Later, he took a fancy to his family's background of going south to Jiaozhou to do business for generations, and asked him to be Liu Zhu's assistant.

However, when Wang Qiang led the fleet to Jiaozhou for the first time, something went wrong. He was besieged by Jingman in Ling County and lost a cargo ship.

In the next few years, due to the peaceful environment, Wang Qiang lacked a stage to show off, so he always performed quite well, neither surprising Liu Jing nor disappointing him.

But there are some people who are born to be on the battlefield. They seem ordinary on weekdays, but once they are in a war, they will immediately stand out. Wang Qiang is such a person.

Last year, in the battle with the Jingzhou navy, Wang Qiang, who had been indifferent before, suddenly shined brightly. He personally led the fireboat to attack the rear of the Jingzhou navy, and made great contributions to Liu Jing. He himself was shot and almost died in battle .

Recently, because of a single word, the army of Jingzhou was overwhelmed, and now he is offering a strange strategy. His ingenuity is unmatched by almost no one under Liu Jing's command.

Even Liu Jing vaguely saw a trace of the shadow of Da Sima Wu Han from him.

Liu Jing held Wang Qiang's hand tightly, and laughed loudly: "Haha... Zijian's words really woke me up like a dream. If it wasn't for Zijian, I would have almost missed such a god-given opportunity." After a pause, he continued: "However, if Zijian goes north alone, he will be alone and weak. Why don't you let Liu Wenxiu and Ou Yuanbo go with you?"

Liu Zhunai was born as a thief in the market, so he not only commanded the navy, but was also in charge of Liu Jingjun's intelligence work. He did not know how many spies he had placed inside and outside Linxiang. Sometimes, these spies were better than thousands of troops.

And Ou Xiong does not mention his own role, his family is also a first-class martial arts wealthy family in Changsha, with many trilogy, and can even contact other wealthy families on his behalf, which has the effect of echoing everyone.

Wang Qiang bowed and said, "It's the villain who thinks simply, or Liu Jun who thinks thoughtfully."

Liu Jing couldn't help shaking his head with a smile. With Wang Qiang's mind, how could he not think of it.

Liu Jing couldn't help but paced back and forth a few steps, and said to Wang Qiang: "I respect Kuai Yidu as an outstanding figure in Chu, and I can't bear him to bury him in a foreign land, and Liu Pan and I are both Empress Xiaojing, so we should also return his body. At that time, you should take the coffins of the two people and hand them over to the Northern Army."

Returning the corpses of Kuai Yue and Liu Pan will not only gain the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, but also shake the morale of the Northern Army, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Liu Jun is really a gentleman of benevolence and righteousness." Wang Qiang flattered Liu Jing calmly.

Liu Jing added: "In addition, I will send an extra empty coffin with Cai Mao's name engraved on it, which can be regarded as repaying the humiliation of the previous wooden box."

Before the war, Cai Mao sent the wooden box. Although Liu Jing did not hate him as much as Liu Zong did, he would definitely want to kill him quickly, but now that he has such an opportunity, he naturally doesn't mind using the same way and giving it to him. Take a good look at Cai Mao.

"No." Wang Qiangsu bowed in response. "The villain will definitely hand over the empty coffin to Cai Mao."

When the two were talking about Cai Mao, Cai Mao, who was like a bereaved dog, took advantage of the overflow of the Xiangshui River and the outbreak of mountain torrents. In just one day, Cai Mao sailed for more than [-] miles and escaped to Hengshan Township.

Ling County on the upper reaches of the Xiangshui River was engulfed by the flood, and Hengshan Township on the lower reaches was not spared either.

Most of the villagers in Hengshan Township were moved away by Liu Jing before, and those who did not leave also hid in the valley, and were lucky to escape the catastrophe.

However, the camp led by Kuai Qi was not so lucky, because the camp where they were stationed was not high and was directly washed away by the flood. Fortunately, there were not many casualties. When Cai Mao arrived, Kuai Qi was leading the soldiers to re-campaign in the valley.

Seeing the arrival of dozens of warships including Cai Mao, Kuai Qichu thought they were patrolling as usual, so he didn't pay much attention.

Since the supply fleet of the Jingzhou Army was attacked by the Jingman some time ago, the garrison stationed in Hengshan Township underestimated the enemy and pursued them, but was ambushed by the Jingman, killing more than half of them. Not only Kuai Qi was sent to Hengshan Township to take over the mess, Cai Mao also sent warships repeatedly Come to Hengshan Township to patrol.

But when Kuai Qi saw Cai Mao in a state of embarrassment, his heart suddenly "thumped", realizing that something big must have happened to the Jingzhou Army.Before the camp was flooded, he couldn't help but feel worried about the Jingzhou army in Ling County. However, he thought that his navy had a lot of ships, and even if the camp was hit by floods, he would be able to escape in time. Could it be that things are not as he thought?

Kuai Qi forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Why did the military commander come here? And why is he in such a hurry? What happened?"

Cai Mao typed out the manuscript all day, but when faced with Kuai Qi's question, his mind went blank, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Seeing that Cai Mao hesitated to speak, Kuai Qi became more anxious and asked again: "Why didn't the military advisor answer? What happened?"

Cai Mao sighed deeply, and replied in a very low voice: "Our army was first victimized by mountain torrents, and then attacked by Jing army. The water infantry army has tens of thousands of people. Only you can escape the danger. These dozens of warships."

Kuai Qi only felt a "buzz" in his brain, and he was stunned on the spot. The worst thing happened. After a long time, Kuai Qi asked tremblingly, "Chang Shi... I don't know where my uncle is?"

Cai Mao sighed again, and said: "The siege battle was not good in the past, Yidu was impatient and lost his position, he did not hesitate to take the risk himself, and supervised the battle in front of the battle, but was attacked by Jing Jun's thieves, and he was seriously injured and almost died. The flood came fiercely last night, and with the degree of injury, I'm afraid it can't be saved."

"My uncle was seriously injured?" Kuai Qi looked at Cai Mao in a daze.Hengshan Township is located between Linxiang and Ling County, so it is extremely important to the Jingzhou army, and there is no room for any mistakes. Kuai Yue was afraid that he would be distracted by his own injury, so he did not tell him that he was seriously injured.

Kuai Qi lost his father when he was young. His uncle Kuai Yue raised him and treated him as his own. When he learned that his uncle was in danger of dying, Kuai Qi was so worried that he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Cai Mao couldn't help being sad, last year in the first battle, five members of his clan's Kun brothers died, and several more died this year.
