"Yuan Yao? Which Yuan Yao?"
At this time, Su Fei was busy thinking about how to persuade Gan Ning to serve Huang Zu. He didn't react for a moment and said with a confused look on his face: "What happened to Xiakou Camp?"
"It's Yuan Yao and Yuan Xianneng who occupied Yuzhang County and proclaimed himself a mighty general!"
"The Xiakou camp was attacked by a sneak attack, and the situation is critical now. Soldiers came to report, and the attackers all shouted to fight for the general's glory. They wanted to chop off the heads of the governor, you and Huang Taishou, put them in a box and take them away!"
"absurd!"
Su Fei looked at the bewildered Chen Jiu and said angrily:
"Chen Jiu! How do I usually teach you that a general should stay in the center and be cautious? How can you throw yourself into chaos when something unexpected happens?"
Chen Jiu was speechless for a moment: "Captain...I...that Xiakou..."
Su Fei obviously didn't take Chen Jiu's words seriously and continued to teach him a lesson: "Isn't Yuan Yao in Yuzhang County? How did he come to our Jiangxia County?"
"Our army is at Chaisang, and Yuan Yao's retreat is about to be cut off. If he doesn't break the siege of Chaisang, how dare he come to attack our Xiakou camp?"
Su Fei's information was still lagging behind. He didn't know that Liu Yao had been taken care of by Yuan Yao, and Peng Ze had also fallen into Yuan Yao's hands.
"I think it's just some sect thieves and mountain bandits who took advantage of Yuan Yao and attacked our Xiakou camp to create chaos, hoping to attract my army to return for reinforcements!"
"Such a trivial skill, I will know immediately after thinking about it, there is nothing worth panicking about!"
Chen was a tall man of 1.8 meters, the captain of a school, and was trained like a dog by Su Fei.
Gan Ning was watching the show with narrowed eyes.
This Su Fei really deserves to be known as a man of both civil and military skills and extraordinary intelligence!
Not only is he talented in literature and martial arts, but he also has a sharp gaze and is calm in the face of danger.
This person deserves my friendship!
Maybe I should take this man's advice and try working under Huang Zu for a while.
Thinking about it, since Huang Zu can kill Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from Jiangdong, he is not far behind.
As Su Fei said, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao also trusted Huang Zu and not only completely handed over the management of Jiangxia County to Huang Zu, but also allowed him to set up a military mansion and train his own troops.
Although Liu Biao was secretly wary of himself, if Huang Zuqi used him, Liu Biao probably wouldn't do anything to him.
The most important thing is that with Su Fei's recommendation, Huang Zu may really be able to give himself a chance to show off his talents!
As for Gan Ning's original decision to defect to Yuan Yao, when Gan Ning told his brothers about the idea, he received fierce opposition.
Gan Ning's group of people were all chivalrous men who worked with Gan Ning as the "Jin Sail Thieves". Most of these people came from humble backgrounds, and they were full of distrust for Yuan Yao, a child of a super typical family.
However, a person who is light and chivalrous is a person who values righteousness over life!
Now that Gan Ning had spoken firmly, the brothers could only grit their teeth and support him, risking their lives to accompany Gan Ning to Yuan Yao's side.
In fact, Gan Ning himself had no talent. A child like Yuan Yao, who was born in the Runan Yuan family, the most noble family in the world, was born with endless wealth and splendor. Would a dazzling person who chases after someone who sucks hard and then praises her good ass really think highly of a man with a commoner background and a jinfan thief background like himself?
Perhaps before he even reported his name, Yuan Yao looked down on others and casually dismissed him!
Su Fei naturally didn't know Gan Ning's psychological activities. If he was still staring at Gan Ning at this time, he would definitely find that Gan Ning's expression was shaken.
As long as he strikes while the iron is hot, he can achieve his goal of welcoming him in person tonight.
Looking at Chen Jiu again, he was at a loss and his face was red. It took him a long time to hold back a complete sentence:
"Grand Governor, you'd better go out and see for yourself!"
Su Fei looked suspicious. Only then did he remember that this Chen was usually quite calm. If it were an ordinary battle, he would not be so shocked.
But Su Fei still didn't believe it. Yuan Yao could really hit him right under his nose?
"snort!"
Su Fei snorted coldly, put on a big cloak, and strode out of the bird room.
The bird room itself had wooden windows, but the view was poor.
It's better to go out and have an unobstructed view on the deck.
Gan Ning was also very curious as to how much trouble had occurred to make Chen, who seemed like a decent man, so flustered.
After walking out of the bird room, Gan Ning called him a good guy.
Fires broke out in the distance, and the fire spread for several miles, burning half of the sky red.
Chen Jiu's expression was a little worse than before.
Just because the situation in Xiakou Dazhai was much worse than when he went in to report to Su Fei.
Thinking about it, there were only a few fires just now, but now the fire is burning into the sky, and the place where the fire is burning the most is obviously the place where one's own food is stored.
Su Fei's originally young and handsome face was also gloomy and terrifying.
Looking at this formation, it is not something that hundreds of thieves and bandits can pull off.
Even if someone in his camp is bribed to act as an inside agent, the whole camp will not be on fire!
Gan Ning only knew that Huang Zu built two cities in Xiakou, Queyue City and Shiyang City. He did not know the location of the Xiakou Camp, let alone the scale of the Xiakou Camp.
"This is a serious case of waterlogging. It seems that the south bank is on fire within a radius of seven or eight miles. But that's normal. The weather is dry and the reeds are extremely flammable. If the thieves set fire to the surrounding reeds and use the fire to cause chaos, It really shouldn’t be underestimated!”
As soon as Gan Ning finished speaking, he noticed that Su Fei, Chen Ju and Zhang Shuo all stared at him.
"That area of seven or eight miles is where our camp is located!"
Chen said fiercely.
Gan Ning was shocked. His first reaction was that the Jiangxia Army not only had a large camp on the south bank, but it was also quite large! Can they actually stay in a continuous camp for seven or eight miles?
Fortunately, I didn't choose to rush through tonight. Even if I got through Miangou, I might not be able to get through Xiakou!
Su Fei knew that Gan Ning was not familiar with the military situation in Xiakou, so he turned to Chen Jiu.
"Chen Jiu, what did you say just now? It was Yuan Jun who attacked the camp?"
"And they are all shouting to fight for Yuan Yao?"
Chen Su swallowed his saliva, fearing that Su Fei would yell at him again, so he quickly pulled an unarmored soldier from behind and explained: "This soldier told me all this. He just graduated from college." I escaped from the camp and came here in the boat!"
The soldier's face was dark, and he could see the traces of smoke and fire.
Seeing Su Fei, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The villain is a soldier of General Deng Long. The camp was attacked, and General Deng Long couldn't resist it, so he sent the villain to row a boat and asked the governor to come back for reinforcements!"
The soldiers in the Xiakou camp were trained one by one by Su Fei, and Su Fei had met this soldier several times. He was definitely Deng Long's personal soldier in front of the tent.
"The Governor wants to ask you, when was the camp attacked? What did you see? How many enemy troops were there? What flags were raised...what slogans were shouted?"
Su Fei asked a barrage of questions, and it was obvious that Su Fei was always dignified in the army. This soldier kowtowed and told everything he knew.
"Grand Governor, you don't know..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just say whatever I ask, don't make any unnecessary remarks!"
"Yes Yes Yes."
"Not long after your big boat left the water village, the camp was attacked!"
"Although we discovered it early, there are tens of thousands of attackers attacking the camp, coming like a flood from all directions. Commander, you know, there are only two thousand old and weak people left in the camp, and we really can't resist it."
"These enemy soldiers who attacked the camp were all well-armed and dressed in yellow. They were carrying banners with the name Yuan. They kept saying why they were fighting to show off the general. They rushed in and killed and burned indiscriminately, while shouting that they were going to cut down the banner. The heads of the governor, you and Huang Taishou... Oh, why don't you offer your heads to Yuan Yao and Yuan Xianneng!"
"..."
Su Fei's eyes flickered, and he could see that although the Deng Long's soldier in front of him was exaggerating, he did not tell lies.
Moreover, everyone in the army knows that the crime of falsely reporting military information is unpardonable!
It seems that they were really attacked at night by Yuan Jun!
"Look what I'm doing. The camp was attacked and I didn't send someone to report the emergency to Governor Huang and call in the troops garrisoned in Yuecheng and Shiyang City for rescue!"
Su Fei touched his waist out of habit, but found that he was not wearing a sword.
"What are you doing standing still? Tell the fleet to turn around and get help as soon as possible!"
Su Fei knew that the situation was serious and became anxious.
Only then did Chen realize and dispatched the dispatch immediately.
Although it was too dark to wave the command flag in the dark night, the propagation of sound was not restricted by the darkness of the sky.
Soon the sound of drums sounded on the deck of the ship.
"My subordinates also returned to the ship to prepare for war!"
Zhang Shuo cupped his hands and said.
Su Fei waved his hand and sent Zhang Shuo away.
As the rapid drum beat sounded, the building Su Fei was on was like a giant beast, and it completely woke up.
This high-rise ship has three floors. The bottom floor is where food, supplies, equipment and luggage are stored, as well as where the boat people eat, drink, and sleep. The second floor is where the high-rise ship crew members live, and the third floor is where Su Fei lives.
Of course, this is just the normal layout. When it comes to battle, the ship's soldiers will occupy all the fighting positions on the ship. There are three rooms in the front, middle and back. Only the smallest and most cramped room at the back will be reserved for Su Fei and the navy. Senior generals serve as combat command rooms. As the highest level, the crossbowmen are of course able to exert their combat power the higher they are.
Tonight when the boat was out of the village, Chen Jiu just asked the lowest-level boatmen to get up and work as cattle and horses, rowing boats and setting sails. Only a few boatmen in the middle were woken up to go on duty.
At this time, the sailors on the second floor were woken up by Chen Ju personally entering the cabin. Under the leadership of the corps commander and chief, all the sailors on the second floor got out of the cabin in an orderly manner and occupied all fighting positions.
Su Fei frowned, looking at the fire on the horizon while thinking about what was going on tonight.
His soldiers were weaving in and out behind him, but Su Fei had no clue.
Is it really Yuan Yao who is attacking his camp?
Or is one of Yuan Yao's generals leading the team?
No matter what, there must be many attackers who can create such a huge momentum in a short period of time!
Because the Xiakou camp that he personally arranged was not an ordinary camp that could be easily broken by 1,800 people!
Even if thousands of people launch a surprise attack together, even if there are only two thousand old and weak people guarding the camp, it will not cause the entire camp of Bali Company to catch fire!
…
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, there is a mountain named after Jiangxia County. It is called Jiangxia Mountain.
Huang Zujun had a large stronghold set up here close to the mountains and rivers.
This village is called Xiakou Dazhai, divided into water village and dry village, with a total length of eight miles.
Dazhai can accommodate 30,000 troops, but this is only theoretically able to accommodate 30,000 troops. In fact, this dry village has never stationed so many troops.
At most, only more than 10,000 Jiangxia troops were stationed.
This is mainly because the Han River often floods and changes its course. Therefore, Queyue City and Shiyang City built around the Han River are not large, and the surrounding areas are low-lying and full of water, making it difficult to station troops.
The terrain around Jiangxia Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River is high and extremely flat, which is suitable for use as a military training school and an army gathering place. Moreover, when you climb up the Jiangxia Mountain, you can better inspect the military formation and look out in all directions.
The reason why Xiakou Dazhai was built so big was mainly because Liu Biao secretly instructed Huang Zuzeng, who wanted to go down the river and unify the south of the Yangtze River.
As a place that can be attacked and defended, Jiangxia needs to build a place where land and water armies can be transferred at any time.
As the governor of Jiangxia, Su Fei's masterpiece in his life was this flood and drought camp.
Su Fei applied the strategy of setting up a camp in the art of war to the extreme. The entire village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, taking advantage of the terrain of Jiangxia Mountain. There is no shortage of water sources and there is no worry of flooding. It can overlook a ten-mile radius, and it has an endless view. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But now, Huang Zu's 12,000 Jiangxia troops and 5,000 are accompanying Huang Zu's son Huang She to conquer Chaisang.
There were another five thousand, one thousand guarding Queyue City and two thousand guarding Shiyang City. There were only four thousand people left in the Xiakou camp.
And he happened to lead two thousand naval troops out of the stronghold to surround Gan Ning half an hour before Yuan Jun launched a sneak attack.
What's going on?
Accidental collision?
The beauty of adulthood?
No, Su Fei never believed in any coincidences in the world!
It's definitely a conspiracy!
Thinking of this, Su Fei set his sights on Gan Ning again.
At this time, Gan Ning was like a child seeing a new toy, excitedly admiring the scene of the huge ship turning its rudder, and the ship's sailors of all levels standing ready.
Maybe this person is not as simple as I thought. This person is also a deep-minded person. After my temptation, he gave me a trick?
All of this was a conspiracy between him and Yuan Yao. Are you going to force me to leave the mountain?
It's no wonder that Su Fei was suspicious of Gan Ning. Anyone faced with such a situation would have many doubts.
If Cao Cao were here, he would have probably cut off Gan Ning's head and thrown it into the river to feed the fish.
Even Zhang Shuo, who was the first to discover Gan Ning's illegal immigration, probably lost his head.
And our Governor Su only had a little doubt about Gan Ningcai.
Perhaps, as he said, Yuan Yao really bribed the clan bandits in Jingzhou?
But Yuan Yao did not let these bandits attack the camp rashly, but asked them to cooperate inside and outside. Wasn't he trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Making noises in the east and attacking in the west?
…
Otherwise, would you deceive him again?
Su Fei narrowed his eyes and coughed dryly: "Brother Gan, what benefits did Yuan Yao promise you? Those boxes of goods were not given to you by him, right?"
"Why don't you tell me, maybe I'd like to bring him this triple-story ship, no, these two thousand sailors!"
