The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

A month in Chang'an, thousands of households slapped their clothes.

The autumn breeze never blows, always Yuguan sentiment.

He Riping and Hulu, his beloved stopped the expedition.

——"Midnight Wu Song Autumn Song" Li Bai

……

On the first day of the battle, Liu Zhan's navy was defeated, and Tang Jun's navy was victorious.

Liu Yin said to Liu Zhan: "The lake is shallow, and it is difficult for a boat to turn around. If you enter the river and occupy the upper reaches of the enemy, if the other boat enters, you will be captured."

Chishui Lake is shallow, and the giant ship has a deep draft, so it is more appropriate to move to the Yangtze River.

Liu Zhan took it seriously and retreated overnight.

There are many shoals in Chishui Lake, and it is easy to run aground when retreating at night, so Liu Zhan ordered each ship to hang a lantern at the stern, and the entire fleet lined up in a long snake formation, and each ship followed the ship in front.

At this moment, a marching Sima under Xiucai's command stood up, licked his lips, and said cautiously: "General, I have a strategy, maybe we can keep Liu Zhan."

After the person finished speaking, there was silence in the big tent, and even a needle could be heard falling to the ground.

The scholar said: "No, the rebels are going to flee!"

Bai Fu stared at this person's eyes and didn't speak for a long time.With a final sigh, he said, "If this plan works, your life will be gone."

After Liu Zhan read it, he was so angry that he tore the letter into pieces.

After the defeat of the rebel army at Chishui Lake, the Japanese navy began to go northward, preparing to meet the rebel navy through the mouth of the Yangtze River. "

After the defeat in the first battle, he will definitely reorganize the fleet and give full play to the advantages of his huge ships and guns.Therefore, we have to change our strategy for the next water battle.

Tang Kui asked: "General Ding, our army's previous strategy was to take advantage of the disadvantage of the rebel giant ship's draft and lure it into the shallows, so we chose to fight it at Chishui Lake.

Bai Fu pointed to the map, frowned, and said: "Once the rebel navy sails down the river and enters the sea from Jiangyin, they can go south along the coastline and hide in Taizhou, Niutoushan, Dongji Islands, and Jishan off the coast of Wenzhou." The islands around the archipelago have turned into pirates, waiting for the opportunity to plunder the coastal states and counties, supplying food, grass and supplies... At that time, it will be more difficult to destroy them with half the effort."

……

If there is a decisive battle in Jiangning, once the battle falls into a stalemate and the warships of both sides drift downstream together, our army can use the shoals around Guazhou to ambush them here. "

Liu Zhan was furious, and cursed: "Bai Fu, how dare you insult me ​​like this?! This commander will fight you to the death!

As Xiucai expected, Liu Zhan was indeed planning to escape.Attacking Jiang Ning was a hasty decision of his own, and he was running out of food and grass.He sent [-] ships to Jiangzhou to escort the food and grass donated by his general Fu Ziang.

Sheng Hailiu smiled and said: "Don't worry too much. Our navy also has an advantage on the Yangtze River. It is inconvenient to operate the rebel giant ships with oars, and it is dangerous in any place with fast currents. If the rebel navy's next strategy It is to go to Jiangzhou to join the rebel general Fu Ziang and go up the river, so the action will inevitably be slow. Our navy can imitate the method of sharks hunting whales and wait for opportunities to attack while chasing.

The military meeting ended, and the generals left the big tent.Bai Fu dismissed the crowd, and said to the scholar: "Women's naval masters are the Tang's confidant's troubles.

All the generals followed the reputation and saw that this person was dressed as a Confucian scholar, his appearance was not good, and he was particularly thin.

Now that the rebel fleet has returned to Jiangning, it will be difficult for our navy to win, right? "

……

In Bai Fu's letter, there were many insults to Liu Zhan: "The public rides on a boat that cannot be lost, and the soldiers and armor are standing with me..."

The strategy was decided on this, and before the marching Sima left his tent, Bai Fu called him back: "Young man, I don't know your name yet."

After the Chishui Lake battle, the generals admired Ding and Sheng and obeyed.

……

When Tang Jun came to see Liu Zhan angry, he was not only fearless, but added fuel to the flames: "My general said, you were originally a grassroots bandit from Chenliu, and you got today's wealth through shit luck. The thieves were slaughtered in the rebellious army. I think the generals under your command were colleagues of the Tang army. I gave you three days to think about it. If you don’t return, you will be crushed and thrown into the river to feed shrimps.”

As soon as Liu Zhanshui's division arrived in Jiangning, Tang Jun sent an envoy. The envoy was arrogant and rude, and sent Liu Zhan a letter written by Bai Fu to persuade him to surrender.

With Bai Fu's approval, the marching Sima mustered up the courage to speak out his proposed strategy.

Bai Fu encouraged this person to continue with his eyes.

……

Ding Jiuqu said: "Sailing at night is extremely dangerous. It is not recommended to snipe enemy ships."

Secretly ordered Master Changsun, Sun Dashan and Persian General Alberts to order the "King of the Seven Seas" to go north from Hangzhou Bay and block the Japanese navy at the mouth of the Yangtze River. They must be wiped out in the area of ​​​​Huduzhou (now Nantong)!Create a century of peace for Datang! "

The marching Sima grinned, laughed silently, and said, "I'm Zhang Ziming."

The strategy is very clear, but how to keep Liu Zhan's navy in Jiangning, the generals have different opinions, and after a long discussion, there is no one-size-fits-all strategy.

Ding Jiuqu clasped his fists and saluted, and replied: "Master Tang, although Liu Zhan doesn't understand water warfare, he has learned a lot from the experience, so he won't let warships enter the shallows so easily.

Tang Jun will ask whether to pursue.

……

The marching commander saluted Bai Fu deeply, and said softly: "Thank you, General. I have nothing to worry about. If I can exchange my life for the lives of millions of people in Jianghuai, it will be worth it!"

Therefore, we must lure Liu Zhan's navy to the Jiangning area, and at the same time lure the Japanese navy into the inner sea..."

The generals were discussing in full swing, Hawkeye took the pigeon letter he had just received, hurried into the big tent, and said to Bai Fu: "Bailong, as you expected, the navy of the Japanese country has arrived in the Tang Dynasty, and they are hiding in the Tang Dynasty. Shengsi Islands and Zhoushan Islands in the southeast of the Yangtze River Estuary.

Come on, drag this person out for me, and return the head to Bai Fu! "

Xu Yi hastened to persuade him, "General, you can't be killed, as the saying goes, the two armies do not kill the envoy when they are fighting."

Liu Zhan said angrily: "This person is so rude, if I don't kill him, it will be hard to relieve my hatred!"

Xu Yi ordered someone to drag the envoy of the Tang army down, and said softly to Liu Zhan, "General, Jiangning City has been surrounded by us all the time, and not even a single pigeon can fly in. The defenders in the city don't know the outcome of Chishui Lake. If we Being able to act according to the plan...will definitely shake the morale of the army and capture Jiangning City within three days!"

Liu Zhan was overjoyed and said: "General Xu really has a clever plan!"
