Chapter 101

After taking Li Jin and Li Bao under his account, Zhang Yi began to dispatch generals.

Shouchun left Lu Su and Li Hongzhang to defend, while Zhang Yi left some troops with them and set off with 5000 men.

As for the generals, Zhang Yi took away Wei Wentong, Ding Feng, Yang Yanyu, Yu Min, Li Jin, and Li Bao, and left Fan Lihua behind to lead Shouchun's army.

The reason why Fanlihua was kept was not because Shouchun might be in danger, but because Fanlihua was already happy.Although it's only been two months, Zhang Yi still doesn't want her to be in a war, and it's the right way to rest assured that she can raise her baby.After all, this is his first heir, so it's better not to have any accidents.

As for the scribes, Zhang Yi brought Liu Ye along to help make suggestions.He brought Yan Yan, as a guide, he had lived in Jiangdong for many years after all.

While marching, Zhang Yi was also giving Di Qing and Li Jing an order to send Shi Jin and Lin Fengxiang to Ruxukou to join them.After Li Jing received the order, he immediately led the troops to march eastward to contain the troops of Danyang County.

Zhang Yi led the army, and after arriving at Juchao, he took away all the warships, and also transported as much as [-] shi of grain and grass, and went down the river to Ruxukou.

After arriving at Ruxukou, Zhang Yi called Li Jun and Gan Ning over and said, "Li Jun, why can Jiangdong's army enter the water stronghold?"

Li Jun bowed his head and said: "My lord, the last general was negligent and never sent anyone to patrol outside the village."

Zhang Yi said: "Since you know your mistake, you should be reduced to captain and be confined for three days."

Li Jun immediately replied: "No!"

"Go to the confinement room by yourself!"

Confinement is one of the punishments in the ten-strong soldier's exercise code. Speaking of it, confinement is much more effective than being subjected to a military stick.Being subjected to the military stick is just physical pain, but confinement is mental torture.

Of course, three days of confinement is not a big punishment, which **** has not been confinement for three days?Although they all changed after they came out, but if they hadn't experienced three days of confinement, would they still be insane?

The mistake Li Jun made was not very serious, although he said that he did not send anyone out to inspect the water village.But how can the defensive water village send people out to patrol at night?Just like when guarding the city, they would not send people to patrol outside the city, so the water guards would never send people out of the water village to inspect.

The reason why Li Jun said that was because someone must have neglected his duty, and he wanted to help these people avoid their crimes.There are only two possibilities for Li Jun to do this. These are either Li Jun's relatives, or they have already died in battle.Zhang Yi knew that Li Jun had no relatives, and the real situation must be the latter.

So Zhang Yi didn't want to wrong a good person. Li Jun didn't make a big mistake, at most he didn't know the person well.So Zhang Yi lowered Li Jun's military rank and put him in confinement for three days as a punishment.

After punishing Li Jun, Zhang Yi said to Gan Ning: "Xingba has done a lot of credit this time. First he proposed to divide the troops for garrison, and then he pursued the Jiangdong army and shot and killed Jiangdong general Ling Cao. Now Xingba is promoted to a partial general. , command the Ruxushui Army."

"Thank you, my lord!" Gan Ning immediately thanked him. He would be rewarded for his merits and punished for his mistakes. He felt that he had met a wise master.

Zhang Yi also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He wanted Gan Ning to lead the navy from the beginning.But after Gan Ning came, he could only serve as deputy due to issues of seniority and merit.

If Li Jun hadn't made a mistake, Gan Ning's historical habit would have generally shot Ling Cao. Zhang Yi really couldn't find an excuse to let Gan Ning lead the navy.

But for Gan Ning, Zhang Yi was not so relieved.Gan Ning has a fiery personality, and he kills people when he moves. According to history books, he wanted to kill a servant, but it was useless for Lu Meng, who was the governor, to intercede himself.

So Zhang Yi warned Gan Ning: "Xingba, you are now the guard of Ruxukou. You must first read the "Strengthen Soldiers' Manual" and remember the above regulations. The above regulations are military laws. I don't want you Violation of any of these."

Although Gan Ning was very surprised why Zhang Yi said that, he still cupped his hands and said, "It's from Ning Province."

I hope so!Zhang Yi didn't say anything more, he could only watch the aftermath.

After staying in Ruxukou for a few days, Shi Jin from Shu County and Lin Fengxiang from Xiang'an both arrived at Ruxukou.

However, Zhang Yi did not summon to cross the river, but ordered Gan Ning and Li Jun to cruise on the river, looking for the traces of the Jiangdong water army.

The reason why Zhang Yi was not in a hurry to cross the river was actually because he had not received any news from Li Jing.Li Jing started from Poyang and would directly reach the other side of Ruxukou. As soon as Li Jing reached the other side, it was time for Zhang Yi to cross the river.

Li Jing only brought Lei Xu and 5000 troops to the east.After entering the boundary of Danyang County, he was blocked by the Jiangdong Army.

After the fierce general Tai Shici fled back, he healed his wounds for a month, and then came out to lead the army.He wrote a letter to Sun Quan, reporting Sun Ben's death, and asked Sun Quan to come down.

However, Sun Quan was still very open-minded and did not blame Tai Shici.In October last year, Sun Quan sent Cheng Pu to bring [-] soldiers over for reinforcements to defend against Li Jing's eastward advance.

Tai Shici originally wanted the lord to attack, but after all Zhang Yi left, Yuzhang's soldiers and horses were much less.As a result, he soon received the battle report. Li Jing actually sent several groups of soldiers to harass the villages and towns west of Danyang, cut off a lot of food, and blocked the news.

It was already November when Tai Shici received the news.In order to stabilize the villages and towns, Tai Shici had no choice but to send troops to the border to garrison and patrol every day.

That's it, Li Jing still sent people to harass Danyang constantly, making Tai Shici tired of coping.

Cheng Pu felt that going on like this was not an option, so he discussed with Tai Shici: "Li Jing's strategy is to exhaust the army. Why don't we move the people to the east and fortify the walls and clear the country."

Tai Shici also knew that Sun Quan would not be able to send too many people at this time, and tightening up the defense was indeed the best choice at the moment.Therefore, he agreed: "This strategy is feasible. We can move the people to Wanling, and we will be stationed in the Chungu area. If Li Jing comes, the road to transport food will become longer, and we will have a chance to defeat the enemy."

Cheng Pu also thought so, so the two acted separately, one repelled Li Jing's army's raids, and the other moved people eastward, destroying houses and filling wells, and breaking roads and bridges.

When Li Jing attacked eastward, he walked a hundred miles without seeing a single person. There were dilapidated villages and destroyed roads and bridges everywhere.

Li Jing knew that this was done by Jiangdong Army to make his march more difficult.However, he didn't care, as long as he could reach the other side of Ruxukou and set up camp this time.

So he ordered the whole army: "The whole army goes north and goes down the river!"

On the river, the navy from Ruxukou was constantly patrolling, transporting food from time to time.Li Jing only needs to send scouts to detect the enemy's movements, and move slowly when there are enemies, and move quickly when there are no enemies.

 Thank you Liang Gongchang for your reward
