In the large tent of Suzaku Camp, Xu Zongwen's eyes were slightly closed. His left index finger kept tapping on the wooden table, making a slight tapping sound, as if he was meditating, making decisions, and struggling!
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and two words popped out of his mouth: "Detour!"
"My lord, do you mean not to rescue Wu County for the time being and to raid Sun En's rear army?" Guo Shang was the first to react. He raised his head and stared at Xu Zongwen who was above him.
Xi Jian worriedly said: "But if we ignore Wuxian, wouldn't we allow the rebels to attack Wuxian? In this case, Zhuge Kan and Zheng Lue may not be able to support them!"
"No!" Xu Zongwen raised his hand, looked at Xi Jian and explained: "Our army is divided into two groups, one is virtual and the other is real. One general will lead five hundred people here," Xu Zongwen pointed to Yangzhou behind him Map, continued: "Broken Gangdu!"
"Broken Gangdu!" Xi Jian suddenly realized that this is the strategic point of Sanwu and the throat of the waterway!
At the beginning of the year, there was a flood in Qiantang. Xu Zongwen was ordered to provide disaster relief and investigate the case. The water route he took at that time went from Jiankang to Jingkou Dajiang, passed through Maoshan and Ningzhen Mountain, went straight down to Danyang, Jinling, and reached Qiantang.
Pogangdu is located at the northern foot of Maoshan Mountain and south of Ningzhen Mountain. Pogangdu can bypass Danyang and Jingkou and drive directly to Jiankang. Sun En's army is mainly naval. If he wants to conquer Wu County and invade Jiankang in the east, Pogangdu must It’s the only way to go!
"Guard Pogangdu, so we spread suspicions and rumors to prevent Lu Xun's troops from attacking Wuxian wantonly, and I personally led the main force of 4,500 cavalry to attack Wuxing in the starry fields!" Xu Zongwen's hand suddenly moved diagonally to the southeast, Point directly at Wuxing County.
"Pang Bai!" Xu Zongwen shouted, and Pang Bai suddenly walked out from behind the big tent. No one knew that he was in the big tent beforehand, and everyone was shocked to see him at this time.
Sure enough, Jin Yiwei has been doing this for a long time, and he comes out day and night, like a ghost!
Pang Bai stood up straight and faced the crowd and said: "According to Jin Yiwei's spies, all Sun En's grain and grass are stored in Wucheng, Wuxing, which is less than five hundred miles away from our army."
Five hundred miles, the highest march record of the soldiers of the Suzaku Camp was seven hundred miles in one day and one night!
In other words, within twelve hours a day, the Suzaku Camp would definitely be able to reach Wucheng and burn Sun En's food and grass with a fire.
As long as the food and grass are cut off, and Du Zigong's men enter Sun En's army in time to lobby the generals, Sun En will be besieged internally and externally, and he will definitely collapse without a fight!
If this is the case, Sun En can be defeated without any bloodshed, and the siege of Wuxian County can also be indirectly solved, achieving multiple goals with one stone!
"Report! There is an edict in the palace, and the team delivering the edict has arrived at the camp!" Xu Zongwen and others were discussing in detail the march route, the deduction of tactics and the deployment of logistics and food supplies. A captain of the Suzaku Camp went straight to the account and headed towards The generals raised their eyebrows and said that the envoys from Jiankang had arrived in Jiangbei.
It is said that the eunuch who ordered the edict was none other than Hua Fuzi of Zhonghuangmen. He stepped out of the sedan chair. At this time, Hua Fuzi was wearing a lacquer gauze cage crown, a double-breasted shirt with large sleeves, and an apron. He held up an edict and conferred the same title as Xu Zongwen when he arrived in Tancheng. Hua Qi, who is the Cavalry Captain, is dressed exactly the same.
Times have changed. At that time, Xu Zongwen was extremely flattering to Hua Qi and tried to please him in many ways. Now Hua Qi is no longer around.
On the contrary, the current situation is the opposite of what it was before.
When Hua Fuzi got off the sedan and stepped on the ground, he saw Xu Zongwen about to step forward. He quickly stepped forward and stopped Xu Zongwen from saluting.
Hua Fuzi slowly opened the edict, and Xu Zongwen and others hunched over and listened carefully.
"The imperial edict: In response to Tian's obedience, and under your clear command, I will govern the world with letters and quell chaos with force. I am recruiting the Northern General Xu Xiao. He has long-term strategies and good plans. He has made many meritorious deeds and is powerful to the barbarians."
"Now that the Hulu are at peace, the northern land is established, and the world is basically safe, how could there be a thief like Sun En, a wolf with ambition, seducing the common people, and conquering counties. At this time of chaos in the country, rebels are disturbing the land, provoking the capital, and in order to avoid the country. In Qiu Ruins, the people are devastated and the souls are hanging upside down. I am hereby bestowed upon you as the Governor of Yangzhou and the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Wu Military Forces. I will give you the fake yellow ax and Xi’s edict to calm down the war. I deeply care for the heroes of Yuan Rong, and your merits will be announced in the Nine Xia Dynasty. Zhao Lu Bu's Pi Xun, Xi Wu Bian for the time being, plus Pi Ji, it's so impressive."
It seems that the handwriting of the edict was ghostwritten by Wang Min, the new Sanqi Changshi. Xu Zongwen had read his memorial refuting his proposal to depose Yin Zhongkan, so he had some impressions.
The entire text of the edict is in Jin Kai. It looks graceful, round and elegant, and the layout is oddly balanced and ups and downs. The handwriting and strokes are abrupt, like reliefs. It is worthy of being written by a descendant of the Langya Wang family. It is truly extraordinary!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Queen Mother!" Xu Zongwen put away the edict, his heart was filled with waves that would not stop for a long time!
The Jiejie Yue is the highest-ranking king among the Jiejie holders. With the authority of the Jiejie Yue, not only can he kill soldiers who violate military orders at will, but he can also go on expeditions on behalf of the monarch, and has the power to kill the following third-level Jiejie generals!
In other words, in Yangzhou, or even in the entire Jin Dynasty, he, Xu Zongwen, could use the power of Huang Yue to kill any general. Whether it was the governor or general who led the army, or the governor or governor who was in charge of politics, he had the right to kill first and then report later!
The Queen Mother hoped that he would return to Beijing with victory as soon as possible, so she gave him the right to fake Huangyue. There is nothing to say about this.
But how could Wang Xun, the chief assistant, and Wang Gong, the uncle of the country, the two most crowned heads of the gentry, hand over such great power?
How strange, how strange!
"The Huahuangmen have been working hard all the way. Xu should have hosted a banquet to relieve the Huahuangmen from the hard work of crossing the river to deliver the edict. But now that the edict has been issued, it is important for the court to quell the chaos, and we are still busy breaking camp. Let’s change the reception day to the day of class!”
"Why should the general be so polite? The subordinates are waiting in Jiankang for the general's triumphant return, and are waiting to eat the general's celebration banquet!" Hua Fuzi did not dare to make a big deal in front of Xu Zongwen, and has always been cautious. To this day, Xu Zongwen gave an order in front of the Qiantang Embankment The scene where Qiantang County Lieutenant Zhu Zhen's head fell to the ground and rolled into the river was still fresh in his mind!
Xu Zongwen collected the edict, took the yellow axe, and sent someone to send Hua Fuzi away. At this time, the Zhuque camp had also rested and reorganized, and the team had been assembled, and was only waiting for Xu Zongwen's order to set off.
"The whole army is here, let's go!" Xu Zongwen pointed his whip straight ahead, his gaze was like a torch, and the generals got on their horses. The commander of the Chinese Army issued the order, and ran with the flag, and the horse straddled as fast as flying. After a while, the dragon-like cavalry army began to move slowly.
The sound of horse hooves gradually became more rapid. After accelerating, the 5,000 men of the Zhuque Battalion soon began to march at full speed. This time they took Lingjiang General Hu Bin's warship at the ferry to the south bank. After the troops were divided into two groups, the main force led by Xu Zongwen came from The land route only attacks Sun En's grain harvesting place - Wucheng!
Wu Jun, under the city of Wu County.
Lu Xun's remnant army surrounded Wuxian again. Tens of thousands of people blocked Wuxian, which gave Zhuge Kan a headache.
Zhuge Kan really wanted to go out of the city at night to attack Lu Xun, but Ma Yi from the Haixi Company tried his best to dissuade him. He said that going to Lu Xun and Xu Daofu first had already suffered a big loss, so they must have taken precautions and might have laid an ambush. Repeating the same tactics may not be effective. Otherwise, the brothers of Wolf Guard may be ruined in vain, making him think twice.
"Forget it! When the general and soldiers come to help, we will work together internally and externally to deal with Lu Xun and Xu Daofu, these two villains!" Zhuge Kan punched heavily on the battlements and walked down the city defense unwillingly.
Zhuge Kan not only relied on Xu Zongwen's reinforcements, he also deployed a surprise force in advance.
Zheng Lue, who has always been restless when fighting, has not been seen since the war started. This is all because Zhuge Kan ordered him to lead his troops alone outside Wu County. As long as Lu Xun dared to attack the city with all his strength, Zheng Lue would You can take the opportunity to make a sneak attack and disrupt the enemy's siege!
"Fourth brother, you must hide your traces and be sure not to be discovered by Lu Xun!" Zhuge Kan secretly prayed to Zheng Lue in his heart, for fear that the unfathomable and cunning fox-like Xu Daofu next to Lu Xun would discover the clues.
Liu Yu's official rank was not as good as that of Zhuge Kan. After inspecting the city tower and inspecting the defenses, Liu Yu followed Zhuge Kan. He leisurely reminded behind him: "My subordinates think that our army is not as good as this at this time." If we really go out of the city to fight with Lu Xun, we must do everything once and for all. The tighter Lu Xun guards against our troops, the more at ease he will feel. If we take advantage of his relaxation and attack suddenly, we will surely win a complete victory!"
Unlike Sima Yi, who was cautious and careful every step of the way, Liu Yu always took things by surprise, attacked them unprepared, and only sought victory in danger!
"What you said makes sense." Zhuge Kan threw the long knife in his hand to the bodyguards. He stepped on the horse and said from a high position: "But it depends on whether Xu Daofu reminds Lu Xun in time, and what's more Zheng Lue’s people cannot be exposed and then wait for opportunities to take action!”
"At the moment, we'd better stay put for the time being. Maybe it's not a bad thing to attract Sun En's army to Wu County!" Zhuge Kan said to himself.
Zhuge Kan suddenly thought of the Battle of Yongqiu. At that time, the Qin army could not attack Yongqiu for a long time. When the water flooded Yongqiu, Xu Zongwen's army arrived in time, catching Mao Dang off guard and annihilating tens of thousands of enemy troops in one battle, completely Destroyed Qin's main force in the Central Plains!
I wonder if it would be possible to have another Battle of Yongqiu?
