Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 290 Hard work, this is a great mission from heaven!

After a few days of warm sunshine, the real chill came again.

The real winter, the biting cold, is still coming.

Le Jin's [-] troops were stationed sixty miles away from Jiming Mountain, although the road to Jiming Mountain had already been cleared of roadblocks and was unimpeded, enough to provide support at any time.

But because the army did not dare to reveal their position, they had not dared to conduct formal training for more than a month, and they were not allowed to shout loudly. Looking at the two now, each of the soldiers seems to have no signs of fighting spirit or fighting spirit.

Several soldiers were lighting a fire, and a head was roasting on the fire. Suddenly, the rabbit that had been killed on the stake jumped out and whispered together.

"This mother's horrible weather, warm for ten days, cold for ten days, who the hell can bear it?"

"You are content, the general is sympathetic to us, let us hide in the tent when it is cold, and allows us to hunt game and barbecue to warm our stomachs. This is comfortable enough. When meeting other generals, such a terrible weather, Let's practice, and the whole body will be cold, and that will be uncomfortable."

"It's not warm enough just with meat, it would be nice to have some wine..."

"Return the wine? In my opinion, it's best to have a daughter-in-law, warm up under the quilt, will it be warm?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came out.

"...At least we are stationed here so that we won't die on the battlefield. If we really die, then our daughter-in-law can go to someone else's bed."

The appearance of this voice made the soldiers silent for a while, but soon someone laughed again.

"However, as long as we are alive, we can learn from Prime Minister Cao and dominate other people's wives. That would be a good time!"

"Yes, live well, long live live!"

The soldiers' rough conversations were accompanied by occasional laughter.

Le Jin was wearing a leather jacket and was patrolling the camp. Hearing these voices, he couldn't help but go closer to listen. He reached out to open the tent, thought for a while, and left.

Ugh…

With a deep sigh, Le Jin gave instructions to the lieutenant beside him.

"Prepare my horse!"

"Ah..." The deputy general was taken aback for a moment, and quickly reminded: "General Yu Jin has orders to keep secret and not to go out..."

"It's not allowed to go out..." Le Jin glanced at the direction of Jiming Mountain, then looked back at the group of soldiers behind him, and said with emotion: "Every day, the Nanyang soldiers there bring the food, it's a happy time , but if things go on like this, the [-] soldiers will be wasted, and each of them will be fat and fat. Can they still fight? Prepare horses..."

Now, the lieutenant didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly fetched the horse.

Le Jin got on the horse, and with the sound of hoofbeats, he had already ridden away.

...

Le Jin came to the camp of Yujin Bishan, and before he reached the big tent of the Chinese army, he smelled the smell of food coming from inside, the small school of Bishan camp recognized Le Jin, and said with a smile.

"General Le? Is it fragrant? Today we are all curious, is General Yu Jin stewing dragon meat in it? We smell like thunder in our stomachs."

Distraught, Le Jin opened the tent abruptly, only to see a small pot steaming "gurgling" inside the tent, Yu Jin and his deputy Dong Chao sat around the pot, Yu Jin took a spoon and tasted it, Dong Chao He asked expectantly, "General, how is it?"

Yu Jin smiled and said, "It's as good as Xianqiong Yulu..."

While talking, he greeted Dong Chao to ladle up the soup, "Try it too!"

Seeing this situation, Le Jin couldn't help feeling extremely anxious, and shouted in Dasheng: "General Yu..."

Yu Jin looked back and saw Le Jin, he was slightly surprised at first, but he didn't blame him for coming here without permission, and greeted with a smile, "Wen Qian came just in time, come and taste the fish soup I made by myself, In this dry season, the fish can be seen at a glance, and it is very easy to catch. The taste is so delicious..."

Dong Chao brought the good fish soup to Le Jin, Le Jin took it but put it aside heavily on the case, "General Yu Jin? What time is it, do you still want to drink soup?"

Yu Jin frowned, and ordered: "General Dong, you go out first!"

Dong Chao agreed and retreated. Yu Jin looked at Le Jin and asked calmly, "What's the matter? Then Guan Lin led the army to fight here?"

"No?"

"So the [-] troops of General Le Jin have been exposed?"

"Neither!"

Yu Jin smiled lightly and said, "Then why don't you let me drink the soup?"

"Wen Ze, Wen Ze, do you know why Prime Minister Cao asked me to bring these [-] soldiers here?"

Yu Jin drank the soup unhurriedly, and said with a faint smile: "The core of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" lies in three principles, the first one is - if you can avoid fighting, you should not fight, and the second - wherever you fight, you must be invincible The third rule is to fight only when you can see the opportunity for victory, use the strong to defeat the weak, use the many to win the few, avoid the real and attack the weak! Use local advantages in exchange for overall victory!"

Le Jin said worriedly: "It turns out that Wen knows that the more wins the less, and he avoids the real and defeats the weak! But... can..."

He paused for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "But Prime Minister Cao asked me to bring [-] soldiers here to make you a top-class horse... Zhang Wenyuan has already won a battle in the Huainan battlefield. Although Gongming was defeated, he was trying to contain Guan Yu. A small defeat is okay...Only Wen Zeyou...you are Prime Minister Cao's top horse, and Guan Lin is the bottom horse in this battlefield. The prime minister is waiting for Jiang Xia's great victory You're so desperate! Why did you shrink back after losing a game? This...it's not like you!"

Yu Jin sneered: "The Prime Minister thinks that Guan Jiashiro is a low-grade horse, haha, but I, Yu Jin, think that he is a good horse! An ordinary bronze mirror can make him play tricks and let our army The loss is heavy, if I wait for him right away, then Wen Qian and I will have to stay in Jiangxia City."

Le Jin was still impatient, "Then... shall we just waste our time doing this?"

Yu Jin's eyes dimmed: "Wen Qian? Don't you know what we are waiting for? I was the only one who told you and Hou Yin, who was in charge of the Nanyang Army, that General Zhu Ling and his son were swindling surrender, and he was trying to lure the enemy into a surprise attack. Mingshan... everything we are doing now is to catch turtles in the urn of Jimingshan!"

"But..." Le Jin was in a hurry, "But it's been a month, how can the enemy make any movement? What if Guan Lin is timid, sticks to the defense, and doesn't attack Jiming Mountain? We two Is it just spent here with him? We can continue to consume energy, but the prime minister... can he continue to consume energy? Just this time Jingzhou-Huainan line, three routes of troops... More than [-] soldiers and horses consume more than [-] shi of food and grass every day ah!"

As Le Jin said, a soldier consumes more than two catties of rice and two taels of salt for a day of food and grass...

The consumption of horses is five times that of human beings, so if you calculate it... the daily expenditure is a huge number!
The Central Plains has been fighting for years and has never recuperated. Cao Cao doesn't say it on the surface, but in fact his food and grass are under great pressure!
Hearing this, Yu Jin frowned and remained silent...

At this time, the scout's voice suddenly came, "The prime minister sent an urgent message!"

Yu Jin quickly ordered: "Let him in."

The scouts strode forward and reported in a low voice: "Your subordinate was ordered by the prime minister to inform the general of the latest information. The prime minister has sent Sima Yi to Jiaozhou and successfully wooed Jiaozhou. Please get Lu Xun and [-] troops Going north, the goal is directly at Anlu City... I hope the general will seize the opportunity and provide the siege equipment, and when the time comes, the north and the south will attack and capture Jiangxia in one fell swoop!"

Yu Jin and Le Jin were startled by the scout's words.

They didn't expect that after the [-] soldiers hiding in the dark, there would be an extra soldier on the bright side coming from the north. After this calculation, it was not the Jingzhou-Huainan battlefield, but Jiangxia. Now there are more than [-] Wei soldiers gathered!

One hundred thousand... This is six times the number of soldiers and horses of the enemy army, and it is also the daily consumption of ten thousand stones.

This kind of quantity is absolutely unaffordable. It can only be attacked by force, and it is enough to break through Anlu City by force.

Le Jin let out a sigh of relief, he reminded.

"Wen Ze, now, with an army of [-] in hand... don't you have to wait any longer?"

"Yes!" Yu Jin nodded lightly, and he immediately said to the scout: "Lieutenant Lao Lao returned to Huainan again and told the Prime Minister that Yu Jin will prepare siege equipment in advance, and after handing it over to Lu Xun, he will make an appointment with him to break through together." city!"

"No—" the scout agreed and left quickly.

Le Jin said with emotion: "Finally, I don't have to wait so aggrievedly."

But Yu Jin was unavoidably worried, he murmured in his heart:
——"Lu Xun?Sima Yi?Are they... reliable? 』

...

...

Guan Suo galloped to Xiakou Port with two thousand archers, but saw dozens of ships sailing by on the Xiashui.

"Why don't you shoot arrows?"

Guan Suo asked in surprise.

The prefect here replied: "If you want to get close to the enemy's ships, you need to leave the port... But the enemy's ships have so many troops that there are probably more than 2 troops, and our army has only a thousand people? It is the limit to be able to hold on. If you go out of the city ...the enemy ship rushes to board, and Xiakou will... be gone!"

A well-founded answer made Guan Suo deeply feel...

Why, this warship from Jiaozhou can run across the Yangtze River without any hindrance.It's not that there are no obstacles... but that the cities dare not stop them...

"Open the city gate..." Guan Suo ordered firmly.

"Major General..." The prefect still wanted to persuade.

"I was ordered by my father to block the enemy warships. How can I be afraid of the enemy..." Guan Suo's eyes were firm. "After leading me out, the prefect immediately closed the gate of the city. If the enemy rushes up, don't worry about me!"

The prefect had no choice but to open the city...

Guan Suo led two thousand crossbowmen along the bank to draw their bows. Thousands of arrows shot out like locusts.

However, after all, the experience of leading the archers is not rich.

So the shore shoots straight into the water?With a range of two hundred paces, how could it be possible to stop the enemy's warships? In this case, anyone with more experience must seize the high point!
really…

Guan Suo's operation was as fierce as a tiger. Looking at the battle situation, not a single arrow was hit.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The laughter of the soldiers on the warship was constantly heard. This kind of... ridicule and contempt made Guan Suo clenched his fists.

At this moment, he longed for his fourth brother Guan Lin to be by his side...

If it was him, there must be a way, a way to stop these warships.

But now...Guan Suo can only let them go, let them rush to Anlu City, and let the fourth brother suffer from the enemy!

——"Fourth brother, this... this battle?How can you fight! 』

Guan Suo felt infinite sadness in his heart. At this moment, his worry about Guan Lin was written all over his face... beyond words——

...

...

It is the bow of the warship that is going to be docked ahead and is the first to open the way.

Lu Xun and Sun Ru stood there.

Sun Ru said with emotion: "I'm still wondering, if the road is unimpeded, there will be some flaws, and the obstruction at Xiakou... seems to be just right."

"Haha..." Lu Xun seemed to be in a good mood, "It's not true, it's true, it's false, madam understands the art of war!"

Sun Ru didn't answer, but took a deep breath of the air here, and said with emotion: "The air here makes me feel refreshed, far from the bloody, oppressive and painful place in Soochow. ..."

"Haha..." Lu Xun laughed again, but only for a while, Lu Xun pondered: "There is still a war here, so the air smells more of gunpowder smoke and war flames?"

"Then next?" Sun Ru asked hastily.

Lu Xun raised his index finger, indicating that there is no need to continue, and he said flatly: "Know yourself and know your enemy, you will win every battle, we must see Cao Wei's plan first... Come to think of it, Sima Zhongda must be more impatient than us..."

Sun Ru nodded deeply. She subconsciously felt that Boyan's whole aura had changed after fleeing Soochow. He became more relaxed and confident!
...

...

Jiangxia City, outside Sifang Mountain, is an empty place.

More than a dozen civil servants and dozens of migrant workers were tied behind their hands...in a line.

In front of them were a few completed and well-sealed clay pots. Jiang Gan led a group of soldiers, who seemed to have just come out of the fish oil refining market, with a fishy smell all over his body.

And since Jiang Gan mobilized all his strength to devote himself to the process of making the "burning pot", inexplicably, the efficiency that should have been slightly improved has directly doubled.

This reduced the pressure on Jiang Gan to deliver [-] "burning cans", and the time was much less.

As for today, the reason why these dozens of people are tied up is because they refused to change after repeated admonitions. Either during the process of transporting the white phosphorus or during the filling process, they did not allow the white phosphorus to come into contact with the air in a closed environment.

Of course, because the weather has suddenly turned cold recently...

This makes white phosphorus not so easy to spontaneously ignite, but Jiang Gan still decided to show these "repeatedly taught" people and let them have a long memory.

"Come--"

"Throw it out—"

Jiang Gan gave an order.

Immediately under these dozens of eyes, a soldier ran forward with one hand and exhausted his strength. The location where he threw it was a hillside with no vegetation or jungle, and the height was lower than the hillside on Jiang Gan's side. Some, which is more convenient for everyone to see clearly.

"Clang-crack-"

With the crisp sound brought by the shattering of the clay pot, the white phosphorus in the pot scattered and fell, and even the eggs shattered, and the fish oil inside spilled all over the floor...

Of course there is a finite amount of white phosphorus in a clay pot... Fish oil and white phosphorus only occupy a small place.

"continue…"

Jiang Gan spoke again.

Immediately... a few clay pots were thrown out, and more white phosphorus and fish oil almost filled the opposite hillside...

However, apart from the sound of "clang langlang" the clay pot colliding with the stone steps, it was a lonely thing. Is this clay pot useful?

Just when everyone was puzzled...

"Archery—"

Jiang Gan gave an order, and immediately a soldier shot a fire arrow.

And as the fire shot down to the opposite hillside.

Like a fire dragon spraying up from the ground.

In the horrified eyes of dozens of people, the fire soared into the sky.

That's right, there are no trees, no jungle, nothing that can spread the flames, just a shiny stone slope, just a few clay pots that can be thrown with one hand...

But his might—

a long time…

For a long time... as the poisonous smoke was blown away by the wind, the flames continued... it burned on the bare stone slope, turning the stone steps into reddish black.

For a moment, Jiang Gan was also shocked by this power...

Only then did he realize that the last ignition was just the spontaneous combustion of the "flint", but this time, with the help of fish oil, the power of the flame explosion and the duration of burning will undoubtedly be doubled...

"Gudong", at this time, Jiang Gan finally realized why this thing is called an incendiary bomb?
Hehe... People are going to be attracted by this soaring flame, so where is life left?
"Cough cough..."

"You know now, don't you?"

Jiang Gan cleared his voice and shouted: "Did I lie to you? One of your negligence, our entire refinery will be covered by this fire. You, me, and everyone here will be burned to death by the fire." , there is no slag left!"

Looking at the terrified eyes of the civilian husbands and civil officials who "repeatedly taught".

Jiang Gan knew that his goal had been achieved.

"Okay, let's untie..."

"Now you know what a great thing we have done?"

"Master Yunqi, let me tell you, if Jiang Xia wins this battle, all the achievements will be made by our workshop... cheer me up, work hard, work hard... this is a great mission from heaven You wait-"

just like…

Jiang Gan is mobilizing, and to be frank, he has a talent beyond ordinary people in the matter of "talking".

And his execution ability, which Guan Lin valued the most, is indeed eye-catching——

...

Not far away on another hillside.

Guan Lin led Zhang Xingcai, Liao Hua, Zhuge Ke, and Shi Wu to witness the ignition test of the "burning tank".

The effect was very good, beyond Guan Lin's expectation.

Of course, Guan Lin's expression didn't fluctuate too much because he knew it in his heart, but Zhang Xingcai, Zhuge Ke, Liao Hua, and Shi Wu were all shocked.

Even though the flame had dissipated, they were all dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

"Cough cough..."

Guan Lin had no choice but to cough heavily, taking everyone's thoughts away from the soaring flames.

"Have you seen it? This is the power of the 'burning pot'. I have to thank that the battlefield is in Anlu City this time. Otherwise, where did we get so many flints?"

Zhang Xingcai pursed her lips: "I always thought... Brother Yunqi was waiting for something. I thought it was reinforcements, but I never thought it was this... It turned out that Brother Yunqi wanted to use this 'burning pot' to attack Jiming Mountain."

Regarding Zhang Xingcai's proposal, Guan Lin was noncommittal...

Huh...Zhuge Ke also let out a long breath, and said with emotion: "In a few days, the [-] incendiary pots in the workshop here will be completed, and the fighter plane will appear..."

Shi Wu thought to himself.

——『I don’t know how much it costs to buy this incendiary pot, but...considering its power, no matter how much it costs, it’s worth it! 』

He's already started to think about...

Liao Hua said excitedly: "The last general invites us to fight...burn the enemy's food and grass in Jiming Mountain, and use the burning cans to help. Five thousand soldiers are enough!"

Sharpening the knife, ready to go——

On the other hand, Guan Lin, he showed the ultimate calmness as always.

He smiled and said: "Don't be busy... The situation is changing rapidly, let's talk about it when the time comes!"

At this moment, a scout rushed over, saw Guan Lin, and knelt down on one knee to report:

"Prefect Guan, it's not good...Jiaozhou Lu Xun's fleet has passed Xiakou, along Xiashui...It seems that his goal is Anlu City!"

This…

As soon as this remark came out, everyone here did not make a fuss.

After all, another soldier from Jiaozhou is still here.

He is here, Lu Xun of Jiaozhou... Is he an enemy or a friend?There is no easier step than this.

With the scouts retreating...

Zhuge Ke suddenly realized: "It turns out that Mr. Yunqi has been waiting for Lu Xun, and he is the main force to attack Jiming Mountain, right?"

Hearing this, Guan Lin didn't speak, but just smiled lightly...

He raised his head and looked towards the sky. Although it was cold this winter, the light that could not stand the sun was still bright and dazzling.

The real war is about to break out——

...
