Chapter 48 Distribution (Sanjiang Qiu pursues reading)

According to common sense, it is not wise to hold a banquet and drink when the two armies are fighting. As a veteran of many years of fighting, Huang Zu could not have known this.However, for Jiang Xiajun at the moment, hosting a banquet to celebrate their achievements may be one of the best ways to encourage them.

As everyone praised Huang She, the banquet gradually came to an end. The short celebration restored the morale of the Jiangxia soldiers.

The water village at night is close to the Yangtze River, and the river breeze blows in your face.

Gan Ning walked drunkenly on the road and said: "From now on, if that man dares to lead an army again, he would rather lead [-] men across the river and behead him as a meritorious service."

The happiest person tonight, besides Huang Zu, was Gan Ning.From the first year of Xingping (AD 194) when he rebelled against Liu Zhang, to the eighth year of Jian'an (AD 203), he has been in Jingzhou for nearly nine years, accomplishing nothing.

But today, in the rolling waves of the Yangtze River, Gan Ning made a surprise attack with a small boat and killed Ling Cao, which really made him let out the sullenness he had been holding in his heart for many years. Tonight, Gan Ning was already imagining his future in Jingzhou.

After saying that, Gan Ning looked at Huo Jun and said, "Zhong Miao's great achievements were overtaken by that Huang She. But that fellow was also shameless and dared to accept everyone's congratulations at the banquet."

"Be careful!"

Su Fei looked around and reminded Gan Ning: "Xing Ba, don't you see the imposing manner of General Huang today! If Zhong Miao hadn't planned in advance and asked the Major General to cooperate, Zhong Miao's life would have been in danger!"

Gan Ning pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I'd rather not be a person who doesn't know the world, but just observe the words and deeds of Grandfather Huang. Unfortunately, no one knows about Zhongmiao's great achievements as a commander, so he can only serve as a counselor."

Huo Jun smiled and said, "Do you know if Xingba is willing to give up?"

"Would you like it?"

"First give up and then gain, as if you are retreating but actually advancing." Huo Jun explained: "In the past, Duke Wen of the Jin Dynasty retreated to three houses, and because of the arrogance of the Chu army, he mobilized large troops to attack it. This was the victory of Chengpu. Now Jun retreats with humility, not only to save his life. I am interested in making friends with the Huang family in Jiangxia."

"Jun was ordered by Xiangyang to reinforce Jiangxia. If Jun's prediction is correct, the eldest son and General Zuo will send troops to Jiangdong in the near future. Therefore, Jiangxia should be of great use and cannot create any gaps."

After drinking, Huo Jun talked more and revealed his inner thoughts to Gan Ning.

After Liu Bei and Liu Qi entered Jiangdong, whether Huang Zu in Jiangxia supported them was crucial.If Huang Zu did not provide full support, Liu Bei and Liu Qi's military strength alone would not be enough to compete with Sun Quan.

Moreover, as the army enters Jiangdong, Jiangxia will become the rear of the army, and Jiangxia will definitely be used for food and military supplies.Xiangyang is too far away. If Cai Mao makes a small move and cuts off the food and grass supplies, the army will be in danger!

At the same time, Huo Jun also knows the future development trend of the world. If Cao Cao sends his troops south and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue surrender, then Jiangxia connecting Jiangdong and Jingzhou will be a crucial link.

Historically, after Sun Quan killed Huang Zu, Liu Qi stationed troops in Xiakou.The coalition forces of Sun and Liu fought a decisive battle with Cao Cao in the Yunmengze area.If Liu Bei succeeds in going to Jiangdong in this plane, Jiangxia will probably still be in the hands of the Huang family.

Therefore, if Jiang Xia surrenders to Cao Cao, the war will burn to Jiangdong; if Jiang Xia chooses Liu Bei, he can push the front to the Yunmengze area and confront Cao Cao.

After listening to Huo Jun's words, Su Fei and Gan Ning remembered Huo Jun's identity.

Su Fei sighed and said: "Zhong Miao is young and outstanding, and his words of praise for his great talent are indeed true."

Gan Ning smacked his lips. Although he said nothing, he felt closer to Huo Jun in his heart.

Compared to the 24-year-old Huo Jun, Gan Ning and Su Fei are already in their thirties, close to forty.They have also been in their twenties and know how outstanding Huo Jun is now.Not only is he superior in ability, but he is also bigger than others in terms of structure.

Everyone left one after another. After Huo Jun returned to the camp, he washed his face with cold water to clear his head, and then called the captain Li Wei.

Li Wei, courtesy name Jigao, was born in Shaxian, Jiangxia.He has been in the army for many years and is familiar with water warfare, so he has just become the captain of Huang She's flagship.The captain's rank is similar to that of a military lord. He has jurisdiction over nearly 300 soldiers and nearly [-] sailors, totaling about [-] people.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the building ship was the largest, followed by the stern ship, and the fighting ship was the third.Among the Jiangxia navy, apart from Huang Zu's three-story ship that could carry 800 people, Huang She's flagship was the largest, with a total capacity of 300 people.At that moment, Huang She gave the flagship to Huo Jun in order to stay out of sight and out of mind.

"join the army!"

Huo Jun poured a cup of tea for Li Wei and said, "Sit down!"

"promise!"

"Jun Yu commanded and dispatched on the ship. Fortunately, Ji Gao helped." Huo Jun said with a gentle expression.

Li Wei took the tea cup and said flattered: "Joining the army is well-organized. Wei is able to follow the joining army to defeat the enemy. I am really lucky."

"How can you be strict with your speech tonight?" Huo Jun asked. "Please feel free to join the army, Wei has repeatedly warned them. I will also let them stay on the boat during the celebration tonight, and they are strictly prohibited from getting off the boat to chat with others." Li Wei straightened his back and said.

"It's okay!" Huo Jun took a sip of tea and said, "In these few days, after the war is over, you can follow Jun's headquarters to move to Zhenjiang Xia Mountain."

After this battle, no matter how much Cai Mao delayed, Jingzhou would definitely send troops to attack Jiangdong.During this period of time, it is important for your subordinates to keep their mouths shut.Snake Mountain (Jiangxia Mountain) is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, surrounded by lakes, and it is inconvenient to communicate with the outside world. Moving the camp to Snake Mountain basically cuts off the connection with Queyue City.

"promise!"

Huo Jun said some more words to Li Wei before ending today's activities.

At this time, in the Chinese army's tent not far away, Huang Zu and Huang She's father and son were talking.

"She'er, what happened on the boat today?" Huang Zu asked casually, leaning on the table.

Huang She glanced at his father and said, "As mentioned before, Zhong Miao saw that Xu Kun was going deep alone, so he suggested to me to mobilize troops and horses to surround and kill Xu Kun..."

"How dare you lie!" Huang Zu opened his eyes wide, looked at Huang She, and asked angrily.

Listening to his father's rebuke, Huang She felt too guilty to look directly at Huang Zu and said, "Father, She doesn't dare to lie. Everything she says is the truth!"

"Okay!" Huang Zu said: "Let me tell you how you seize the downwind position and how you fight with the Jiangdong Navy. How many steps away did you throw the lime, and when did you prepare the soybeans."

Huang She hesitated and said, "The soybeans and lime are all handled by Zhong Miao, and I know very little about them. As for the details of the battle..."

Huang Zu sneered and said, "She'er, I'm afraid what Huang Fu said is the truth!"

"what?"

Huang She was frightened, but in order to save his face, he said: "Why didn't the father believe what his son said, but instead believed the words of the man who escaped from the battle?"

"Hmph!" Huang Zu said with disdain on his face: "You have been in the army for many years. If you have such courage, you will not have difficulty in convincing the public."

There is no better friend than a father. How could Huang Zu, his father, not know about Huang She's bad behavior?It's just that this matter is a good thing for him, Huang Zu, and he naturally has no reason to expose the truth.

"This~"

Huang She hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing.

Looking at his acquiescing son, Huang Zu sighed and said, "Huo Jun is very courageous and knowledgeable. You are right to do this. Everyone will benefit without having to quarrel."

After a pause, Huang Zu asked: "Does Huo Jun have a marriage partner at such a young age?"

Huang She shook his head and said: "As far as I know, Huo Jun only has one concubine in his family and no wife."

Huang Zu pondered for a while and said, "You are looking for an opportunity to ask in a subtle way to see if Huo Jun is willing to marry my daughter, the Huang family."

"Father~"

Huang Zu interrupted Huang She's words and said: "Huo Jun knows how to advance and retreat, has good plans, and is a close confidant of the eldest son. He is truly a hero. If we can marry him now, it will be a great help to me, the Huang family. I'm afraid Huo Zhongmiao won't want to."

"Just don't ask in a vague way. If he doesn't want to, don't get into trouble with him. As for what happened on the ship, you'll be rotting in your stomach. When you leave the camp, your father will forget it." Huang Zu warned.

"No!" Huang She asked, "How will the battle merit be distributed?"

Huang Zu stroked his beard and thought about it and said: "Your command is precise, and it is your first merit; Huo Zhongmiao knows the enemy's strength, and it is your second merit; Huo Bochong is accurate in archery, and he has merit in shooting Xu Kun; Su Fei is brave in battle, and kills Ling Ling." Hold."

"What about Gan Ning?"

Huang Zu looked disgusted and said: "Gan Ning is unruly and arrogant. He cannot be reused. Just ask him to join the army and defeat the enemy."

"promise!"
