Soldiers come to the world

As soon as Liu Jing returned to Wuchang, he got the news that Chaisang had fallen. At this time, Wei Yan had found out the reason. The Jiangdong army pretended to be a soldier and surrendered. The Jiangdong army's internal and external cooperation led to the fall of the water gate.

In addition, Wei Yan also admitted that he made a mistake by drinking and asked for a heavy punishment. In a rage, Liu Jing was dismissed from Wei Yan's post as a lieutenant, demoted to a rank of Sima of another department, and ordered him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds to guard Xiazhi County. He must be beheaded for questioning.

Even so, Liu Jing was still extremely worried about the safety of Xiazhi County. He was especially worried that the oil refining secrets would be leaked. He immediately ordered Li Jun to lead two thousand sailors to Xiazhi County to support Wei Yan, and sent a letter to Xiazhi County with a flying pigeon. Guard, if the Jiangdong Army intends to attack Xiazhi County, they can first set fire to the refinery.

In the lobby, Liu Jing paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking angry and worried. It was less than half an hour before he returned to Wuchang, and he heard such serious news. On the other hand, Wei Yan's drinking accident made him extremely annoyed.

Before and after the Chibi War, Wei Yan's arrogance made Liu Jing very dissatisfied, so he was demoted to guard Chaisang, but he did not expect that Wei Yan's emotions would be hit, and he drank his sorrows with wine, which led to the fall of Chaisang. [

But at this time Liu Jing was more worried about Xiazhi County. Once the Jiangdong Army discovered a way to purify kerosene and obtained kerosene, the consequences would be disastrous. Cao Cao got kerosene and Liu Jing was not very worried. The army is weak, but if the Jiangdong army, which is equally powerful, gets fuel, it will undoubtedly become even more powerful, and it will cause irreparable consequences.

At this time, Jia Xu's voice came from outside the hall, "Is Zhou Mu still annoyed by the fall of Chaisang?"

Liu Jing didn't look back, he looked at the roof with his hands behind his back and sighed: "I made a mistake in employing people and put Wei Yan in Chaisang. This is actually my responsibility."

Jia Xu walked up to the hall and said with a smile: "When Wei Yan was sent to Chaisang, Jiang Dong hadn't turned his back on him yet, and it was the time when the relationship between the two sides was the best. In fact, it can't be blamed on Zhou Mu, it can only be said that there are unpredictable things .”

Liu Jing still shook his head, "There are actually many lessons in the fall of Chaisang this time. If I can't learn from it and just make excuses for myself, then there will be accidents in the future, like bandits taking over. This is a profound lesson! Not only Bandits, as well as the so-called villagers who came to reward the army, as well as large businessmen, etc., may be mixed into the city by the enemy, and we must implement a preventive system."

Jia Xu also agreed with Liu Jing's idea, "When it comes to the system, I have been thinking about it for the past two days. In fact, we can't cut off business contacts, but we can set levels. For example, level A means war, level B means preparation for war, level C To express peace and implement different security measures at different times, we may not be able to take care of the more cities we occupy in the future, but as long as we implement a hierarchical system, then the frontline cities will naturally know what to do."

"The military adviser said it very well. Please ask the gentleman to formulate this hierarchy."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing sighed again: "Let's talk about the matter before us! Chaisang fell, how should the military adviser think we should deal with it?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "In fact, Xu Sheng violated the taboo of military strategists. The striker acted rashly before the main force arrived. The countermeasure is very simple. Since the Jiangdong Army has occupied Chaisang, we will occupy Qichun County in turn and take Qichun County All the population has moved to Jiangxia, and Peng Ze must also be empty, so send a naval army directly into Peng Ze, destroy their water villages, and let Xu Sheng reap the consequences."

Liu Jing nodded slowly, "The strategist is really brilliant!"

Just as Liu Jing worried, after Xu Sheng occupied Chaisang, he immediately ordered Ding Feng to lead an army of [-] to Xiazhi County by fast boat, striving to capture this extremely important strategic small county. The mission is to decipher Jiang Xiajun's method of refining kerosene.

Xu Sheng also knew that the kerosene that Jiang Xiajun sold them was a very viscous black liquid with very weak combustion power, far from being comparable to the kerosene Jiang Xiajun used. Hiding in Xiazhi County, Xu Sheng sent people to Xiazhi County several times to investigate the secrets of kerosene, but they all returned with success. He could not let this opportunity pass by.

Under the leadership of Ding Feng, the three thousand Jiangdong army headed west overnight in more than two hundred fast boats. At the same time, Wei Yan also led two thousand defeated soldiers to rush to Xiaxian County by land.

The disastrous defeat of Chaisang's fall woke Wei Yan up completely. The sense of dissatisfaction and pride accumulated in his heart had disappeared at this time, leaving only shame and self-blame. There was only one thought in his mind, no matter what To keep Xiazhi County.

. . . . . . . .

Xiazhi County is the production area of ​​Jiangxia fire oil. It can be said that it is the most important strategic city in Jingzhou, with a garrison of [-] troops.

Since the oil refining secrets were investigated by Cao Jun last year, the defense of Xiazhi County has been greatly adjusted. First, all residents in the city were moved to Yangxin County, and no civilians were allowed to enter the oil refinery.

The second is to increase the number of troops from 500 to 1000, and turn Xiazhi County into a military city.

The chief general guarding Xiazhi County is a dental general named Lu Jin, who was also the first veteran to follow Liu Jing. [

At this time, the beacon at the Fushui River Estuary has been lit, and there is an alarm of a large-scale invasion of the enemy. At the same time, Lu Jin also received a pigeon letter sent by Jiang Xia's army from Chaisang when Chaisang fell, which made him extremely nervous. He knew very well that after the Jiangdong Army captured Chaisang, they would inevitably attack Xiazhi County.

He immediately sent more than [-] scouts to investigate the enemy's situation by water and land respectively.

As night fell, Lu Jin stood on the top of the city, anxiously waiting for news from the scouts. According to the normal marching speed, no matter whether it was the defeated army of Chaisang or the Jiangdong army, they should have reached Xiazhi County by this time.

Just now, Lu Jin received an urgent pigeon letter from Zhou Mu, ordering him to burn down the oil refinery as soon as he found out about the enemy, and send all the soldiers with secrets to Yangxin County.

Lu Jin was ready to burn down the oil refinery, and now he needed to know the situation of the enemy army. Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance, and soon, under the moonlight, a scout came galloping on horseback.

Lu Jin suddenly became nervous. He knew that the scouts must have brought news. After a while, the scouts rushed to the bottom of the city. He also saw the general, so he said loudly: "General Lu, we found the enemy fast boat at the mouth of the Fushui River. Hundreds of them have entered Fushui and are heading towards Xiazhi County."

Lu Jin's heart was suddenly suspended, the Jiangdong army had indeed come, it seemed that he had to burn down the oil refinery immediately, he turned around and was about to leave, at this moment, the soldier next to him suddenly shouted, "General, an army is coming!"

Lu Jin's heart skipped a beat, he turned around and looked out of the city, and saw under the silver moonlight, an army was marching rapidly along the opposite bank of Fushui towards the county town, but it was a little far away, so it was hard to see this army clearly. Army banner.

Lu Jin hurriedly said to the scouts under the city: "Go and investigate!"

The scouts turned their horses and ran to the distance, and came back to report after a while: "General Qi, it is our army that has withdrawn from Chaisang. The leading general is General Wei Yan!"

Lu Jin let go of his heart, and Wei Yan's arrival gave him a reassurance. He quickly ordered: "Build a pontoon bridge in Kaicheng!"

The gate of Xiazhi County was opened, and the soldiers quickly built a pontoon bridge on the river to guide Jiang Xia's army across the river. Although Jiang Xia's army was exhausted after running all day and night, dozens of war horses kept snorting and breathing heavily. .

But the faces of these Jiangxia soldiers were more useless and resentful. They lost Chaisang so easily without fighting hard, which made all the soldiers feel unwilling.

However, Wei Yan was very anxious. Seeing Lu Jin rushing over, he immediately asked, "General Lu, do you have any news from the Jiangdong Army?"

Lu Jin quickly bowed and said: "Just got the information from the scouts, hundreds of warships of the Jiangdong Army have entered the mouth of the Fushui River and are heading here. They will kill the county within two hours at most."

Wei Yan was about to ask again, but saw that Lu Jin hesitated to speak, and seemed to have something to say, so he suppressed his own thoughts and asked, "What else do you want to say?"

"Reporting to the general, I have just received the order from the State Shepherd. Once the enemy is discovered, I am required to burn down the oil refinery immediately. Now that the enemy has been discovered, I will ask General Wei to instruct me whether I will implement the order of the State Shepherd."

Wei Yan hesitated for a moment. If it was in the past, he would have his own ideas, but now that Chaisang is defeated, he dare not have too many distracting thoughts, not to mention that Xiazhi County is directly under Wuchang, not under his jurisdiction. Ling will inevitably anger Liu, and he will be severely punished.

Wei Yan had no choice but to sigh and said, "Although I think the oil refinery should be burned down at the last moment, the military order is like a mountain. We cannot disobey the order of the state herdsman. Let's execute it!"

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Lu Jin immediately ordered his subordinates, "Set fire to the refinery!"

Several of his subordinates rushed away, but Wei Yan had no time to rest. The Jiangdong Army was two hours away from Xiazhi County. He had to defeat the Jiangdong Army to alleviate his sins. He thought about it all the way and came up with a plan in his mind. [

Wei Yan asked again: "How much fire oil is there in the city?"

"Report to the general. There are still more than [-] barrels of refined kerosene that have not been transported away."

Wei Yan whispered a few words to him, and Lu Jin showed embarrassment, "I'm afraid this lowly position has used so much fire oil."

Wei Yan stared, "Why can't it be used? If you don't use it, more brothers will die. In the end, the fire oil will also fall into the hands of Jiangdong Army. Now you must obey my orders!"

Jiangxia's military regulations are strictly hierarchical. Although Wei Yanyue may be punished if he commands power, as a subordinate, Lu Jin must obey Wei Yan's orders. Lu Jinnai had no choice but to bow down and say, "Obey!"

Lu Jin immediately ordered the defenders to dump all the more than 1000 barrels of kerosene in the warehouse into Fushui, forming a thick layer of oil on Fushui, which floated downstream along the river. At this time, the oil refinery in the city was also set on fire. , the fire soared into the sky, the flames soared into the sky, and the black smoke billowed, which could be seen dozens of miles away

It takes about [-] miles from the mouth of the Fushui River to Xiazhi County. It takes about two hours for ordinary boats, but the Jiangdong Army is rowing a [-]-paddle fast boat, which is very fast, and it has passed since the scouts found the enemy's situation and came back to report. It took more than half an hour.

At this time, Ding Feng had led his army to march for nearly [-] miles, and there were only [-] miles away from Xiazhi County. Ding Feng had also heard about what happened back then. Han Dang was on the way to attack Xiazhi and Yangxin County Jiang Xia's army was ambushed and almost the whole army was wiped out.

So Ding Feng was extra careful and sent scouts all the way to the front to investigate. He knew very well that Xiazhi County was the most important fuel oil production area for Jiang Xia's army, and there must be heavy troops stationed there.

There are hundreds of soldiers on both sides of the river exploring the way ahead, and the boats are rowing in Fushui, full of more than [-] Jiangdong soldiers. Ding Feng sits on the bow of the boat with an iron gun in his hand, watching the situation on both sides of the river nervously. The night was extremely quiet, and soldiers kept sending news, "There is no ambush!"

At this moment, suddenly a soldier pointed to the distant sky and shouted: "General Ding, look!"
