Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 455 "Strategies", rushing to help Lujiang

Guangling County, Jiangdu County.

This is where Jushou's soldiers and horses are stationed. The barracks are connected to the water village, and several ships are docked along the coast.

After Tai Shici and Gan Ning returned to the camp, they took Gan Ning to see Jushou.

Jushou looked at the young man in front of him. Although his face was full of vicissitudes, his eyes were piercing. He also looked at himself without any fear of life. His clothes were torn, and muscle stripes were faintly visible on his thin body. Jushou could tell this young man just by looking at him. Not ordinary people.

How did the lord know that there are capable people among the water thieves.

"This is the governor of Qingzhou, who is the commander in chief of our army."

"Gan Ning, Gan Xingba, I have met Mr. Gonghe!" Gan Ning bowed his hands and saluted, although his movements were not very compliant, but there were some similarities, but his movements were carefree, without any stage fright.

"What a young man, I heard that your water skills are very good?"

Gan Ning glanced at Taishi Ci and replied, "I'm ashamed, it's not because I was defeated by General Taishi."

Tai Shici patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Your malnourished body is naturally no match for me now. When you recover well, we will fight again!"

Gan Ning smiled mischievously and nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Then he couldn't wait to say to Jushou: "Mr. Gong and Mr....I joined your army, can my brothers join too?"

"Naturally! They will be under your command in the future. In addition, I will give you another thousand soldiers and horses, and you will be responsible for their training. If you train well, you will be their commander in the future!"

"What if the training is not good? Will you cut off my head?"

Tai Shici kicked Gan Ning from behind.

"Hahaha, interesting! If the training is not in place, I don't need to chop your head off. The enemy will take your life." Ju Shou said.

Gan Ning's face turned serious, "Don't worry, sir, I will train them well, but there are so many 1000 people, I don't think there are so many boats in the water village..."

Jushou Xindao Gan Ning was quite careful, he had already known how many ships there were in the water fort without noticing it, maybe it was because of this keen intuition that he had the basic qualities to be a naval general.

"Don't worry, the ships will arrive later, you train in batches first, and they will be ready in the future!" Ju Shou laughed.

"Ko Yi!" Gan Ning also laughed.

"Are there any other requests?"

Gan Ning scratched his head, looked back at Tai Shici, he was also joining the army for the first time, he didn't know what he needed, so he shook his head.

Ju Shou stepped forward and patted Gan Ning on the shoulder, and said, "My lord has a good vision, it is a good material, you must not disappoint my lord's painstaking efforts!"

Gan Ning had already heard about the so-called painstaking efforts on the boat, that is, to capture him was not simply to deal with the pirates, but the Bohai King who was far away in Luoyang personally ordered the plan to be made for Gan Ning.

Gan Ning didn't expect that the almost fame he made in Bashu would be passed on to the King of Bohai, but seeing how seriously Jushou treats him, he has a feeling that he is on the right track.

"General Taishi, don't worry, I would rather live up to my lord's expectations!"

The so-called one thousand sailors were actually assigned by Ju Shou early on, but most of them came from the north, and knowledge of water is already a rare skill, even if they are trained, they are not organized.

However, this situation may change in the future.

Tai Shici didn't think that Gan Ning couldn't subdue the navy, and he didn't worry that he had nothing to teach. The "water thief"'s rope boarding skills alone were enough for them to practice.

After settling Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci sat down with Ju Shou again.

"Ziyi, take a look. Now Shijun Liu occupies Dantu and Qu'a counties. He wants to march into Wu County. The battle line is too long. If he captures the cities along the way, the troops will be stretched. For the present plan, I intend to temporarily stop the march. During this period of time, we will try our best to send our troops and supplies to these two counties, and when we have accumulated enough strength, we will go all out and take Wu County!"

"I agree with your opinion, and during this period of time, Gan Ning can also lead the navy to the road. With that group of young men, they dare to rob the military ship. I don't believe that with the new type of warships of our army, they can still be captured by the Yangzhou navy." The army chased and ran."

Ju Shou nodded, agreeing.

He stroked his beard and said again: "And during this period of time, the lord should launch an offensive against Chen Guo in Runan. Naturally, Jiujiang will not stand idly by at that time. We must also prepare to rush to help. If Zhou Ang supports Runan, We hit it in the back."

"For Jiujiang, I will send more scouts. By the way, what about Lujiang? I heard that Yuan Shu is approaching menacingly. Prefect Lu Kang may be alone."

Jushou took a look at the map, "We sit in Guangling, we must take care of Xuande and beware of Zhou Ang. I am afraid that the matter of Lujiang will be beyond our reach. However, Cao Mengde has already occupied Peiguo, so maybe he can help. If Lujiang can be saved, In terms of the situation in Wu County, it is also of great benefit!"

"Oh? Is it because of the Lu family in Wu County?"

"That's right, Lu Kang's brother, Lu Yu [yū], is the current Patriarch of the Lu Clan, and now the Gu Clan of Wu County is on good terms with the lord. If he gets help from the Lu Clan again, Xu Gong may not even be able to gain a stable foothold."

These great gentry, powerful, rich and well-off, even the eunuchs are very afraid of them. After all, there are very few officials like Liu Qing who hold on to productivity to prevent the gentry from being ostracized.

Tai Shici resigned and went to arrange scouts for a while, while Jushou began to write letters to Cao Cao.

……

A few days later, Cao Cao, who was rarely comfortable at home in Peiguoqiao County and lived with his mother-in-law, had a letter in his left hand and a letter in his right hand.

Looking at Mrs. Bian with a graceful figure on the couch, she suddenly felt a headache.

The letters have all been delivered to the dormitory. They must be military urgent reports, and there must be no delay.

"Husband, if you have important military affairs, you should put the big things first, and I will wait for you!" Mrs. Bian saw that Cao Cao seemed to be hesitating, so she persuaded him.

Cao Cao put the letter away, loosened his belt and said: "No problem, I have ordered someone to notify Zhong De, and it will not arrive in half an hour, no problem!"

As he spoke, he tore off his robe, "Madame makes me miss..."

Two quarters of an hour later...

Cao Cao sat upright, looking at Cheng Yu with a serious face.

"The letter from Luoyang and the letter from Guangling arrived at the same time. I heard that the king was brought up by Duke Ju. Are these two people too tacit to understand?"

A thousand miles away, and a hundred miles away, they were delivered at the same time, which is really bizarre.

Cheng Yudao didn't pay attention to these details, his mind was full of how to help Lujiang.

Because strictly speaking, Peiguo and Lujiang County are not adjacent to each other. To take the shortest road, you need to pass through the territory north of Huai River in Jiujiang County, or through Runan, but Runan has many mountains and does not have the waterway of Jiujiang. easy to go.

It is an easy way to go, but the problem is that the enemy will quickly intercept it, and most of the cities in Jiujiang County are concentrated in the north, so there are also many garrisons.

"My lord, support the Lujiang River from Peiguo. The north road passes through Runan, which is mountainous and dangerous. The south road follows the Huai River, which is the main road of Jiujiang River. There will be many obstacles. Moreover, Xiacai County is a county with a heavy military defense. If you want to go smoothly I'm afraid it won't be easy to pass." Cheng Yu straight to the point introduced the route to march.

"Is it possible to divide the troops, and if one side is blocked, the other side can also arrive in time?" Cao Cao asked.

"Perhaps it is feasible. The Xiahou brothers can lead the cavalry to pass through Jiujiang, and the Cao brothers can lead the infantry to pass through Runan. However, the infantry should go first."

Cao Cao looked at the route planned by Cheng Yu on the map, thought for a while, and asked, "Jiujiang Governor Zhou Ang, will you participate in this matter?"

"My lord, although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are now on the mend, the conflict between the two cannot be reconciled. The reason why the Lujiang River was handed over to Yuan Shu is because Yuan Shu still has value. If Yuan Shu succeeds, then the deal between the two Yuans will be completed. If Yuan Shu loses Now, then Yuan Shaodao doesn’t need to do it himself, and he can use Yuan Shu’s power to greatly weaken Lu Kang’s troops. At that time, Yuan Shao’s going to Lujiang will be as easy as turning the palm of his hand. Why waste troops and horses to help them acquire land?"

"Listen to what you said, Cao Mao suddenly understood, and in this case, we marched from the Jiujiang Expressway. Zhou Ang dared to block him, so he ran over him!" Cao Cao said, and as he spoke, he raised the letter given by Yang Ju, "Ju Gong and the letter said If Zhou Ang dares to move, he will lead his army into Jiujiang to support me."

Cheng Yu smiled, "It's really a great blessing to have a plan with the King of Bohai!"

"Why did Zhongde say that?"

"My lord, just march and attack as ordered. The king of Bohai has already made arrangements for this route and reinforcements."

"Hahaha, what Zhong De said is that the King of Bohai is strategizing. Although he sits in Luoyang, he knows every plant and tree thousands of miles away. He knows everything about the enemy and me! I really can't accept it!"

Cheng Yu agrees with this statement.

Only a certain party who "appreciated the concubine's dancing posture" in Luoyang knew nothing about the Lujiang incident.

Has the letter reached Cao Cao and Lu Bu?
Has Yuan Shu started to attack?
How are they going to help?

When will you reply?

The plan was finalized, and Cao Cao made a decision immediately.

"Order the whole army to assemble, food and grass first, and plan to march in November!"

The next day, the autumn air was crisp and the sun was shining brightly.

Cao Cao was in a good mood, stretched his waist and felt a little sore, so he planned to go to the camp for activities and supervise Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan by the way.

However, as soon as he entered the camp, he hadn't seen anyone yet, but a Kuaiqi suddenly rode over.

"Report-"

"General, Lv Bu, Lieutenant of the State of Liang, came with his cavalry, and they have already arrived outside the city of Qiao County."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed, "Quickly open the city, wait, I'll go by myself, come and prepare the horses!"

Not long after, the gate of Qiao County opened, Cao Cao came out on horseback, and said to Lu Bu, "Feng Xian, please come here safely, Cao Cao is late to welcome you, I hope the general will forgive me!"

Lu Bu held his head high and immediately, after hearing Cao Cao's words, he became even more excited. He looked at the generals around him and seemed to say: "See, don't look at my little captain, even Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yanzhou, see you!" I'm so polite."

Wei Xu chuckled, took a few steps forward, and reminded: "Feng Xian, don't get drunk, talk back quickly!"

Only then did Lu Bu come to his senses, and he bowed his hand to Cao Cao, saying with a serious look: "As ordered by Your Majesty, I will rush to help the Lujiang River, and I am here to join you with the general."

Chen Gong, who was silent at the side, looked at it and shook his head. When will this Lu Fengxian abandon his childish nature.

Liu Qing only gave the order to support Lujiang with Cao Cao, and it was of course Chen Gong's idea to join them.

Cao Cao greeted Chen Gong on the other side again, "Don't come to Gongtai, you are safe, follow me into the city quickly!"

The arrival of Chen Gong and Lu Bu really answered Cheng Yu's words, and it was a great blessing to conspire with the King of Bohai.

I am originally a reinforcement, who knows that there are friendly troops in the reinforcements, and reinforcements in the reinforcements.

The arrangement is clear.

Lu Bu's army took a rest in Qiao County and replenished some food and grass. Chen Gong also touched with Cao Cao and Cheng Yu about the marching plan, and finally decided to pass through Jiujiang.

November came in a blink of an eye, and at the same time, there was news of Yuan Shu's march to Lujiang.

So Cao Cao led [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and Chen Gong led [-] cavalry, and set off for Lujiang.

……

After Yuan Shu entered Lujiang from Jiangxia, he had raided and occupied Anfeng, Yulou [yú] and other counties. This battle was to go south in a big way, trying to capture Shu County in one fell swoop.

Yuan Shu knew that Lu Kang would not gather more than [-] soldiers from the entire Lujiang County, and the rest of the temporary recruits were nothing to worry about.

And under his command, since Ji Ling and Zhang Xun came back to meet up, there have been more than 3 soldiers and horses, but these 3 people have gone through the baptism of blood and fire, and have been selected after repeated defeats.

Standing on a slope, Yuan Shu looked at the endlessly long marching team down the slope, and couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion, adding a trace of heroism that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Quite a bit of the momentum of taking Nanyang back then.

Now, with the same momentum, he wants to take down Lujiang.

Lu Kang was born as a civil servant, and he was not good at commanding troops. His only experience in leading troops was to put down the rebellion jointly launched by the Lujiang thief Huang Rang and the Jiangxia barbarians, that's all.

Lujiang's soldiers and horses are also neglected in battle formation.

As long as Yuan Shao doesn't get in the way, taking Lujiang will be easy in Yuan Shu's view.

"Report-"

"Yuan Gong, Jiang Xia has come to report that Sun Jian has captured Nanjun Zhouling and left Jiang Xia."

It turned out to be Jingzhou's military newspaper.

Regarding Sun Jian, Yuan Shu was still very moved. He never thought that giving Sun Jian so many troops would lead him all the way from Luoyang to the present Nanjun, only one step away from his goal of Changsha.

Perhaps because of the delay in delivering the letter, Sun Jian had already set foot on the land of Changsha County at this time.

Thinking of himself in a blink of an eye, and believing that he would be as successful as Sun Jian, Yuan Shu suddenly smiled, making Yang Hongyan Xiang beside him confused.

"Why is Duke Yuan laughing?" Yang Hong asked.

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "I laugh at the fact that the Lu family of Wu County doesn't know good and evil, and wants to be an enemy of my Yuan family. If you welcome me into the city, wouldn't I make him the governor of Yangzhou?"

When Yang Hong heard this, he couldn't laugh.

"I still laugh at Yuan Benchu, don't think I don't know what he's planning, since he was a child, no one knows his character better than me. He's counting on me to compete with Lu Kang's snipe and clam, so that he can catch a fisherman profit!"

This sentence made Yang Hong and Yan Xiang look at each other for a while, and both of them looked at Yuan Shu with admiration.

The reason why they agreed with Yuan Shu to take the risk was also because they knew Yuan Shao's plan.

It turned out that Yuan Shu himself knew it too!
