Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 316 Planning Jiang Xia
The information contained in this is too evocative. Could it be that Zhou Yu was not involved because he was in Baqiu and not in Wujun?Why did Zhou Yu stay in Baqiu, away from the center of power?What is in Sun Quan's gourd?
Zhou Cang asked: "Then have you agreed on the date of dispatching troops and the leading general?"

"Jiangdong is tentatively scheduled to send troops on the second day of September. At that time, the flood season of the Yangtze River has just passed, and it is time to use troops. Jiangdong's leader will be Cheng Pu, his deputy will be Zhou Tai, Ling Tong will be the vanguard, and the left and right armies will be Chen Wu, Dong Xi, and Huang Gai. For the post-response. Lu Su is the commander-in-chief of the army, and Lu Meng is the Sima."

The lineup is quite luxurious, but it doesn't matter if there is Zhou Yu in it.Zhou Tai became the deputy commander of the army, which was a rocket promotion, Lu Su started to participate in military affairs, Lu Meng was promoted, ha ha ha Zhou Cang felt more and more interesting.

"By the way, the Zhou Yu mentioned by the lord just now is to support the South Road and cut off the reinforcements from the Changsha counties."

"Did Sun Quan ask you any conditions?"

"It's still what I mentioned last time: our army does not send water troops but only infantry. I proposed that although the Xuzhou water army does not participate in the battle, it can deliver food, grass and wounded soldiers to the infantry, and provide assistance to our infantry in Jiangbei. Sun Quan No objection."

"Good job Gongming! Have you ever seen Jiangdong's military appearance?"

"Although Jiangdong is on guard against the end, we can still get a glimpse of it. Jiangdong's navy is well-trained, and it is like walking on the ground on the river. It is even better to maneuver the boat. The boats on the river are constantly coming and going, but they are orderly and extremely fast. , and built a large ship, which is divided into three layers and is several feet high."

"It seems that Xingba has an opponent. Jiangdong has many talents, as long as they are given more time, they will make some miracles." Zhou Cang sighed.

"Sun Ce was defeated in the water battle. Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su all strongly advocated the development of naval forces."

"This time, Gongming will be the main general. Who does Gongming think will be the deputy general, and how much will he lead the troops?"

"You don't need to bring more troops to attack Jiangxia. I plan to bring 6000 people from the Fiery Battalion of the headquarters, plus 4000 people from Liaohua's New Army Battalion. The total number of people is enough. Xu Sheng's Wading Battalion in Guangling has 6000 people to help."

Oh, it seems that Xu Huang's plan has been made, he doesn't plan to transfer more troops from Xuzhou.Zhou Cang had another plan in his mind: it's a good idea to use the new barracks to train troops by the way.

"During your absence in Xuzhou, I have rebuilt a post of the independent battalion. This time I will go out with you as your guard to watch the battle, so that they can learn a lot." Zhou Cang immediately thought that this is a rare opportunity for the independent battalion to observe, and it happened to be hone in on it.

"Yes."

"Gongming has worked hard all the way, go back to rest first, transfer Liaohua's new barracks back, and report to me after you discuss the matter of dispatching troops." Zhou Cang said, "By the way, Xuzhou recently recruited a new general, Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, and I have appointed him as Lightning Commander of the battalion, you will get closer in the future. A few good horses have just arrived, Sun Da, bring General Xu's Hualiu horse."

"Yes! Thank you, my lord." Xu Huang saluted and resigned. As he walked, he thought about what kind of person Huang Zhong was. When he was new to Xuzhou, he was reused by the lord, and he was able to succeed Hua Xiong as the general. Qu'a and Chen arrived to find out.

"Sun Da, you rush to the martial arts academy and ask Wu Gang, Liang Guang, and Duan Muling to come and see me."

Wu Gang and the others came to the State Shepherd's Mansion and looked at the freshness everywhere. Sun Da led the three of them to the White Tiger Hall, and saw the guards at the door, all majestic and imposing. The three of them didn't dare to vent their anger.This is the important place where the lord summons the generals to discuss matters. It really is solemn and magnificent.To be summoned by Zhou Cang here means that the three of them have completely become one of the Xuzhou generals.

"You three don't need to be cautious, and you will be regular customers of Baihutang in the future." Zhou Cang said. "It's been a month since I went to the Martial Academy last time. How about your second screening?"

Wu Gang hurriedly replied: "My lord, after the first screening, those who failed to be selected have chased after them bravely. Driven by the leaders of the bidders, all of them have passed and become members of the independent battalion."

Oh?Zhou Can was taken aback for a moment, and all of them passed the test. Could it be that Wu Gang used some means?After thinking about it, Zhou Cang decided not to delve into it. Since the authority is delegated, let Wu Gang do it. Besides, the students of these martial arts schools are not bad at all. Even if Wu Gang relaxes the standards or uses his brains on the rules, it’s okay It's a big problem, I originally planned to let these people enter the independent camp.

"How is General Huang in the martial arts academy?"

Liang Guang was the first to speak: "At the beginning General Chen took General Huang to the martial arts academy. We didn't know his skills. Later, I fought him but couldn't last two rounds. I heard that he and General Dianwei had a draw a few days ago. , Shooting a halberd in the school field, unfortunately I can't wait to see it. Now the Independence Battalion is convinced of General Huang."

Wu Gang went on to say: "The entire Independent Battalion admires General Huang. General Huang has strict requirements for teaching swordsmanship and archery, and the soldiers train even more vigorously."

"Good job." Zhou Cang nodded, "But Wu Gang said that training alone is not enough, it needs to be honed on the battlefield with real knives and guns. One month later, our army will take action. The three of you Lead the Independence Battalion to go together."

"Is there a war?" Liang Guang's eyes widened, "I don't know where to go, who to fight with?"

"Liang Guang!" Duanmu Ling tugged on Liang Guang's lapel, and asked Zhou Cang, "I don't know what the lord wants to explain?"

These three people have distinct personalities, Wu Gang is steady, Liang Guang is straightforward, and Duanmu Ling knows what to ask and what not to ask.

"I have high hopes for the Independence Battalion. This is your first expedition, so the task for you is to learn. That is to say, you don't need to go to the battlefield, but watch the battle, understand? Watch the battle!"

Wu Gang replied: "This subordinate understands!"

Liang Guang seemed a little discouraged, while Duanmu Ling was thoughtful.

"One month will be given to you to prepare, think about what you should prepare, and submit a report to me when you come back. Don't talk about the expedition."

"Yes!"

"My lord, Zhou Fu reported that there is a person outside the mansion who calls himself Tian Guang and comes from Jizhou to ask to see the lord." Sun Da sent Wu Gang and the three of them away and came back to report.

Tian Guang?Zhou Cang thought hard, but he had no impression of this name.

"I observed people who came here, alone, about 20 years old, dressed like a scholar." Sun Da added.

If the scholar from Jizhou was sent by Yuan Shao, he shouldn't be alone. Could it be that he wants to take the big exam?The big exam has passed, and it is impossible to make up another exam for one person.Zhou Cang is already a great official in the frontier, although he has to appear approachable, but not everyone can see it, his identity is here, not to mention there are security issues, assassins have to be on guard.

"Go and call Yang Rui and let him meet Tian Guang." Zhou Cang said after a while, "Ask Zhou Chong to find out who it is."
