Soldiers come to the world

Although Gan Ning uttered harsh words, they were only out of temper. If the Jiangdong Army dared to invade the waters of Jiangxia, it would be regarded as a declaration of war. But in fact, he still implemented the terms of the covenant. No more than the upper limit of [-] troops, he was allowed to cross the border. .

Of course, whether it exceeds [-] or not must be verified by the Jingzhou navy. One ship sailed to Changsha County.

This was extremely time-consuming and laborious. With [-] warships and [-] troops led by Lu Meng, it took ten days to finally arrive in Changsha County. At this time, Lu Xun in Nanchang had been waiting for half a month. The long delay caused the Jiangdong Army to appear The consequences of low morale, low morale, and more serious consequences have also been quietly revealed.

About a hundred miles south of Nanchang County, a Jiangdong army of 2 people is marching westward rapidly. This is the 2 people who went to Changsha County by land after Sun Quan was forced to adopt the first plan. Jiang Qin and Chen Wu led.

Although there are factions in the army, they are not as clear-cut as civil officials. Jiang Qin belongs to the northern faction, while Chen Wu belongs to the Lujiang faction, but the two get along tacitly, and there is no gap between factions. Overland rushed to Changsha County to join Lu Meng's army.

Going west by land is not as easy as going by water. The road is difficult and dangerous, and you have to turn over the mountains. Fortunately, there is no inspection by the Jingzhou Army. They don't need to spend ten days. They can reach Changsha County in five days.

The army marched lightly, without luggage. The soldiers only carried the most basic equipment, a spear and a sword. Instead of wearing heavy armor, they wore soft military uniforms, which were convenient for climbing mountains and wading. In addition, each soldier carried With five or six days of dry food, they rushed day and night, and marched towards Changsha County along the rugged official road.

That evening, the army had marched more than [-] miles and arrived in the territory of Yu County. The army entered the county town and continued marching after a night's rest. When the [-] troops arrived, the small county town was frightened. All the county people fled into the mountains, only dozens of elderly people refused to leave and stayed in the county town. The Jiangdong Army directly lived in civilian houses, rested and ate dry food. Many soldiers were so exhausted that they fell to the ground and fell asleep.

In the county office, the county magistrate of Yu County had already set up a banquet for Jiang Qin and Chen Wu to drink together.

The county magistrate's surname is Zhang. He is most worried about the issue of military discipline, so he has repeatedly emphasized that the county is a poor county with only a few thousand people.

Jiang Qin understood his worry. His army had all lived in civilian houses. He was afraid that the army would steal people's property. , are all our own people, we will not rob people’s property, we will restrain military discipline, come safely, leave safely, and will not destroy people’s houses.”

County Magistrate Zhang was overjoyed, toasted the two of them a few glasses of wine, and said with a smile: "Would you like me to find two pretty girls to sleep with the two generals?"

Jiang Qin and Chen Wu glanced at each other. Although he was a little moved, Chen Wu shook his head and said, "Thank you for the kindness of County Magistrate Zhang, but military discipline is strict and women are not allowed to enter the camp during the march. Once Marquis Wu finds out, we will be punished." Sorry."

At this time, Jiang Qin asked again: "I don't know how far Xinwu County is from here, is there a direct official road?"

County magistrate Zhang thought for a while and said: "Xinwu County is about a hundred miles to the north, and the remaining water along the city can reach Xinwu County directly. Generally, merchants who come to us from Nanchang will go to Xinwu County first, and then hire a boat to go south. The county is still relatively close, so there is a local saying called "the bride of Yu County, the Lang of Wu County", which means that Xinwu County is richer, and women in Yu County are willing to marry there."

"I see!"

Jiang Qin felt a little worried, and gave Chen Wu a wink, Chen Wu understood, got up and said: "I'll go back to the barracks first, the two of you have a drink."

Chen Wu wanted to rush back to the barracks to strengthen his defenses, and he was also very worried. They were light troops and lacked armor. Once they encountered the Jiaozhou army, they might be in great trouble.

As night fell, darkness shrouded the small town of Yuxian County. Just ten miles north of the county town, a black army appeared, about [-] strong. It was the elite Jiaozhou army led by General Zhang Fei. He was ordered by Zhuge Liang to They rushed to intercept this Jiangdong army. They arrived half a day earlier than the Jiangdong army, and they did not immediately attack the city, but patiently waited for the opportunity.

When Zhang Fei was about to leave, Zhuge Liang gave Zhang Fei two kits and ordered him to open the first kit when he arrived in Yu County. In the first county they encountered, the Jiangdong Army would definitely spend the night in Yu County to rest, and Zhang Fei could wait until after the third shift to act.

Time gradually arrived at two o'clock. At this time, a dark figure quietly climbed over the wall and left the county seat, running northward along the small river. In the half-dark moonlight, this person was the county magistrate Zhang. He ran all the way, and soon Encountering the patrol sent by Zhang Fei, County Magistrate Zhang hurriedly said: "I have important information to report to General Zhang."

This is Zhuge Liang's second kit, that is, Neiying. He controlled the wife and children of County Magistrate Zhang and forced him to serve the Jiaozhou Army. Stationed in the camp, found Zhang Fei.

"General Zhang, I have entertained the two generals of the Jiangdong Army according to the general's orders. Chen Wu didn't drink much, but Jiang Qin was drunk by his lowly position. Now in the county government, he is protected by his own soldiers and cannot be killed."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Can you leave me a city gate?"

County Magistrate Zhang said nervously: "Actually, the city of Yu County is dilapidated. It doesn't matter if there are gates or not. Now the east and west gates are under the control of the Jiangdong army, but the southeast corner of the city wall has collapsed. It is only supported by some random wood and can be easily demolished." , In addition, the humble official has evacuated the people according to the general's order, and those things have been hidden in the city."

Zhang Fei smiled happily: "Yes, you did a good job!"

At this time, County Magistrate Zhang asked again: "The humble job has been done according to General Zhang's order, the wife and daughter of the humble job."

"Don't worry! I, Zhang Fei, am a trustworthy person. Your wife and daughter are all in Xinwu County. I will send someone to take you there. If you succeed in Yu County, the military adviser will reward you heavily."

"Thank you General Zhang!"

Zhang Fei sent someone to send the county magistrate away, and then his opponent ordered: "Let's go!"

Zhang Fei led [-] troops and marched towards Yu County.

This is the second time for Chen Wu to come to Jiang Qin's room. He heard that Jiang Qin was drunk, which made him both resentful and worried. Jiang Qin was a bit greedy. , but Jiang Qin actually got drunk during the expedition, this is the first time, although this should not be Jiang Qin's style, but the fact is here, when he walked outside the door, he heard the snoring in the room, and several soldiers smiled wryly Shaking his head, "General Chen, we can't wake him up."

Chen Wu sighed helplessly, and then said to the soldiers: "When General Jiang sobers up a little, tell me right away, or ask him to come to me, I have important matters to discuss with him."

The reason why Chen Wu was in a hurry to discuss with Jiang Qin was because when a soldier searched a house, he found a lot of sulfur that caused the fire. This aroused Chen Wu's vigilance, and hurried to discuss with Jiang Qin. Qin was so drunk that he passed out, Chen Wu had no choice but to rush to the house where the sulfur was found.

Because only one household found the sulfur, it cannot be said that someone was planning to do something wrong. At this time, a soldier rushed to report: "General Chen, we can't find the county magistrate Zhang, and there is no one in the county office."

Chen Wu frowned, and the county magistrate disappeared inexplicably. He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately said to the left and right orders: "Give me a comprehensive search, detailed interrogation, and report any suspicious points to me!"

Hundreds of patrolling soldiers agreed and dispersed to investigate the situation. At this moment, a patrolling guard hurried over to report, "General Chen, there is something wrong with the southeast corner of the city wall!"

Chen Wu hurriedly followed the guard to the southeast corner. There were already more than 100 soldiers demolishing the city wall. Only then did Chen Wu realize that there was no city wall here, and it was all messy wood. Two soldiers screamed inside, the guard explained. : "A group of our patrolling brothers passed by here, but two brothers stepped on the air and fell down. Only then did we find that the inside was empty, and it was all wood."

Chen Wu looked dignified. He stepped forward to take a closer look at this section of the wooden city wall. It was about a hundred feet long, and the filling wood was in dilapidated condition. It could be seen that it was quite old. They rescued the two soldiers, who fell badly.

"General, what should we do here?" the guard asked in a low voice.

Chen Wu looked at the time, it was almost three o'clock, they were about to get up at five o'clock, ready to go, there was no need to repair it now, Chen Wu immediately ordered: "Fill all the wood back!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a shrill scream from the top of the city. A soldier fell heavily from the top of the city with an arrow stuck in his chest. Immediately afterwards, several more soldiers fell from the top of the city with arrows. , Chen Wu was taken aback by the sudden change.

He immediately reacted and shouted: "There is an enemy situation, go to the police!"

Dozens of soldiers turned around and ran towards the city, shouting all the way: "There is an enemy situation, get up!"

At this moment, there was an extremely dull impact sound from the city wall, broken wood flew, and a big hole appeared in the damaged wooden wall. Through the big hole, one could faintly see the dark shadows outside, and I don't know how many enemy troops there are.

Chen Wu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He turned around and ran towards the house where he lived. His horse and spear were there. At this moment, a soldier ran up to him and said anxiously: "General Chen, we are here Sulfur and firewood were found in many houses, and there were fire starters everywhere."

Chen Wu was no longer in the mood to listen to these reports, he said anxiously: "Don't worry about these, tell the brothers to leave the county immediately, hurry up!"

After running for a few steps, Chen Wu turned back and shouted: "Go to General Jiang now, let his personal soldiers carry General Jiang out of the city, the enemy is about to kill, go now."

Chen Wu ran wildly all the way, ran away from his residence, got on his horse with his gun in hand, and shouted to the soldiers: "Follow me!"

He had just rushed to the street, only to hear a soldier shouting in horror: "Fire!"

It was only then that Chen Wu realized that the city walls were covered with black troops. They fired arrows into the city. Many houses in the city were already on fire. Thick smoke was everywhere, and the fire spread rapidly and quickly became one. At this time, outside the city It was a mess, and the cries of soldiers were everywhere.

Chen Wu was very anxious, and shouted: "Brothers, rush out with me!"
