Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 477 One Word
Outside Bo'an City, on the north bank of the Shaohe River, is the Xuzhou Army Camp.

"Then Huang Gai burned several ferries leading to the river and gathered troops in Lu'an. Is this trying to confront our army?"

Wu Sheng drew the map on the case with a pen, and touched his head while talking: "Cheng Pu blocked our way in Qianxian County, and he wanted to take a detour to avoid it, so he went to meet with the general first. But a yellow cover appeared again, really "

Having said this, he paused, turned his head to the left, and said calmly: "Sir, it seems that this dog that blocks the road must not be slaughtered?"

"Don't act rashly."

Guo Jia, however, shook his head, first looked up and looked outside the tent, above the row upon row of barracks, the sky was overcast and cloudy, he waved his flag, pondered for a while, then looked down at a general with a wound on his right arm and asked: " Captain Huang, what did the messenger you sent to Shu County say?"

That general was the original Weihuanglou of Lu'an County. When he broke out from the city that day, he met Huang Gai, a general under Sun Ce's command. After fighting for only a few rounds, he was stabbed in the right arm of the opponent. He was born a few days ago, but his injuries have not healed so far.

Hearing Guo Jia's news, Huang Lou didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly bowed and said with a wry smile: "Guo Jijiu, I have dispatched three waves of troops in the past few days, but I still can't get close to the city, let alone enter."

Guo Jia nodded, and asked Wu Sheng again, "How is General Li Ren's injury?"

The two armies met in Anfeng County before. At that time, Huang Lou's troops were being pursued and beaten by Sun Ce's army. They happened to encounter the vanguard led by Li Ren. shot.

For the Xuzhou army fighting in different places, Li Ren, a general under Yuan Shu's command, is an indispensable link of communication. Not only Guo Jia, but even Wu Sheng understands this truth very well.

"Don't worry, sir, the injury is not too serious, and it is gradually improving."

Wu Sheng replied warmly, with a completely different attitude. When facing Mi Heng, Zhang Zhao and other scholars, he was extremely polite: "But the medical officer said that he will not be able to move his muscles and bones in the short term. Need him to play"

"Cough cough."

Guo Jia coughed a few times, quickly interrupted Wu Sheng's continuation, glanced at Huang Lou who was embarrassed and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Huang County, what happened to Sun Bandit today?"

"I fought with us yesterday, but I'm quite honest today, so far we haven't seen any movement." Huang Lou replied, "Guo Jijiu, what should we do next."

During the past few days when he joined Xuzhou's army, he could see that although Wu Sheng was the chief general, it was Guo Jia who was really in charge.

Guo Jia hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Wu Sheng had already pulled out his Hongyi saber and chopped it on the pilasters supporting the tent, and he stopped shouting: "What should I do, do I need to say more?"

Immediately, he strode into the tent, raised his head angrily, looked forward to the generals, and said word by word:
"Since we started the uprising with the general, we have been invincible and invincible! Taishan County is not difficult to fight? Is it difficult for the Jizhou army? Isn't everyone bowing their heads under our army? The Jiangdong Army still has three heads and six arms. ?”

Having said that, Wu Sheng paused, glanced at Huanglou coldly, and complained to himself: If it weren't for you people being too useless and abandoning such important towns as Longshu, Lu'an, and Hefei, why bother me and my brothers? So struggling?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Wu Sheng couldn't help but roared: "Sir, we have to take back Lu'an first! Otherwise, how can we join the general?"

After several battles, Wu Sheng had become calmer, and even under Wang Zheng's repeated supervision, his bloodthirsty temper was restrained compared to before, but since he entered Yangzhou, he was blocked by Sun Ce's army for a long time. On the first day, he was already extremely depressed and angry, but now he didn't think about anything, and the only thought in his mind was to reunite with Wang Zheng as soon as possible.

"Don't be impatient."

Guo Jia knew his temperament very well, so it was not surprising. It was precisely because of this that Wang Zhengcai specially arranged for him to go out with the army. If it was Xu Fang or Yu Jin, why bother: "General Wu, sit down first."

Turning to the generals again, he said solemnly: "Our original strategic purpose was to help Yangzhou Mu put down the rebellion, but at this time, at that time, all the counties north of the Lujiang River have now fallen, and at this time, the friendly environment has become an enemy country. , we have more than [-] troops on this road alone, how can we go deep without authorization?"

"Therefore, Dangqian's main duty is not to defeat Sun Bandit anymore, but first to ensure that Anfeng City is not lost, and to keep a retreat, and secondly, to ensure the defense line on the north bank of the Shao River, so as to prevent Cheng Pu Huang Gai from joining forces , form a left and right pincer attack, and at the same time get in touch with the lord and Shu Cheng as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused, looked at Huanglou and said, "What does the county captain think?"

Huang Lou nodded: "What Guo Jijiu said is true, the main task of our family is indeed not to attack but to defend."

Gently rubbing his injured right arm, Huang Lou's face twitched, and then said
: In addition, Guo Jijiu said that our family should get in touch with Wang Zhoumu who is in Shucheng as soon as possible. "

"According to the last general's knowledge, Sun Thief encircled Shu County very tightly. If he encircled him tightly, the news in the city would be blocked. It is difficult to defend an isolated city. Where is it difficult to defend? It is not connected with the outside world. If it is too long, the defenders will inevitably change."

"That's why the general proposes that we should not only send dead soldiers to Shu County as soon as possible, but also immediately. We must get in touch with Wang Zhoumu. We really can't delay any longer!"

Guo Jia nodded happily, and the look she looked at Huang Lou softened a bit.

Wu Sheng was annoyed that the situation in Lujiang had deteriorated to this point, so why not Guo Jia?

He even said that his anger was even stronger than Wu Sheng's!
If they had known that Yuan Shu's subordinates were so helpless, and had known that Lu'an would also fall, what detour did they choose when they were blocked by Cheng Pu in Qian County? Why not try to take down Qian County then!
Not only was Guo Jia annoyed, but Guo Jia was even a little ashamed. He and Wu Sheng were the real main forces on this trip to help Yangzhou. As a result, it has been almost ten days since they entered Lujiang territory. How can he be worthy of Wang Zheng's trust?
Especially thinking that Wang Zheng is now surrounded by Sun Ce's army, even if he knows that there are elites from the Tianzhu camp, Wang Zheng will not have any safety problems, but it is also the fault of his ministers to put his lord in danger. I thought about this last night What happened, Guo Jia almost crushed his steel teeth!
It's just that he is actually the real "leader" of the troops arranged by Wang Zheng.

So at this time, he has to be patient, and he has to distinguish between serious and serious.

As a genius, although Guo Jia likes to take risks and take a slanted sword, he knows that he must act safely now and never make any mistakes.
"Before I left, my lord once granted me the right to act accordingly, and said that if the army and horses are short of food and grass, they can be transferred to Peiguo in Yuzhou first."

Hearing this, a captain of the Heavenly Army under the tent said: "Jijiu, the newly attached land of Peiguo, the people's hearts are not settled, and the food and grass are nothing. If we deploy troops and horses, what if there is an enemy coming?"

"Which is more important between Peiguo and Xuzhou, and which is more important between Xuzhou and the Lord?"

Guo Jia said coldly: "Not only food and grass, but also siege equipment. As for soldiers and horses, it is enough to leave more than a thousand troops in the border cities. I sent an order yesterday to order Pei Guoguo to attract 3000 troops. , with food, grass and equipment coming to help today, with these, we can not only hold the line of defense, but also find a way to regain Lu'an, and then move forward!"

"good."

Wu Sheng agreed very much, and immediately stood up when he heard the words and echoed: "The most important thing now is to open the passage and go to Shucheng to defend the general. According to the master's plan, when the backup arrives, the whole army will attack the city. Kill the thieves cleanly!"

All the generals bowed and received the order solemnly: "Here!"

At this time, outside the tent, there were scattered raindrops floating down.

First one or two, three or four, and then hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands, one after another, fluttering, gradually becoming a downpour.

The last rain in the summer of the first year of Jian'an enveloped the entire Lujiang River almost instantly.

Shu county city head.

Wang Zheng and others who had just walked down the city were about to return to the county government to discuss matters. They saw that God suddenly changed his face, covered dark clouds, and rained.

Not long after, Zhou Hui took the lead in laughing, letting the rain soak his shoulders quickly, but he didn't care about it at all, and seemed very relieved.

"It's normal to have rain in summer, why are they so happy?"

Seeing this scene, Qiao Wan was very puzzled, and asked Wang Zheng who was at the side.

Before Wang Zheng could answer, Wei Yan snorted coldly and said: "Women are really ignorant. This kind of heavy rain, with its continuous trend, is like a long drought for us. God helps me, so why not be happy? "

Qiao Wan still didn't understand, so Wang Zheng had no choice but to explain: "Sun Ce just seized the city and occupied the land, and won a great victory. It was a time when the troops were fighting sharply and their morale was high. Launching a fierce attack on Shu Cheng is the right thing to do, but it is raining at this time, which is extremely unfavorable to him."

"When it rains and snows, it is common sense for military strategists to be unfavorable for attacking a city. If the rain does not stop, it will be difficult for Sun Ce to launch an offensive. The military prestige and morale that was at the peak will not recover if it slows down. With the buffer of this period, we will The strategy can be adjusted gradually.”

Wang Zhengdao: "That's why Zhou Xianjun and others are so happy."

That's it.
Qiao Guan suddenly realized, and immediately asked in surprise: "Then why are you so calm?"

Wang Zheng smiled, but stared blankly at the wind and rain around him who seemed to be mocking more violently, and murmured as if engrossed: "Because I know that's just common sense, not the truth."

Sun Jun's camp is handsome.

"Wang Zheng must have thought that our army's offensive would have to be suspended when it rained."

Sun Ce's posture was unrestrained, and Gu Pan said with a smile, "This general has only been in the army for three years, but he has already experienced hundreds of battles and has never faced a confrontation. How can he do this? I want to do the opposite!"

"Order the three armies, the original plan will not be changed, and the city will be attacked in the rain tomorrow!"

As soon as the words were finished, the school captain Ling Cao came out and bowed to remonstrate, "Major General, please think twice."

"Attacking the city in the rain is not good for me. The rain not only makes the city wall slippery, but also makes the ground muddy and difficult to walk. It also obstructs the vision. The bows and arrows are inaccurate, and the soldiers cannot stretch their hands and feet. How can we fight?"

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said solemnly: "Shuanglu's disease, what's the point? Why was the general willing to let Wang Zheng's troops out of the city, and why did he gather the elite to quickly defeat Hefei? Isn't it because of this moment?"

"Shu County is now an isolated city, and the people are panic-stricken. If you take advantage of the momentum and attack fiercely, you will be able to go down bravely and complete your meritorious service. If you miss this good opportunity and pursue after the rain stops, wouldn't you let the enemy have a leisure time? "

Looking around at the crowd, Sun Ce said decisively: "Although Wang Yukou is from the Yellow Turban, he is not a mediocre man. Facing such an enemy, if he takes time off and gives him time to breathe, it will definitely lead to the failure of many previous plans!"

"This……"

Since Ling Cao is a man who knows the soldiers, he also went to Kaiyang with Sun Ce that day, he knew the abilities of Wang Zheng and his soldiers, and he knew that what Sun Ce said was right, so he fell silent for a while.

Sun Ce continued: "It's not that you don't know that those heads hanging over the gate are real and some are fake. Such tricks may be concealed for a while, but they can't last long. Besides, our army surrounded the city with more than ten thousand people. Over time, the encirclement will inevitably appear. The gap, once Zhuzi, Zhou Hui and the others are connected to the outside world, knowing that this is a fraud, will surely restore morale, and then our army will go to attack again? Isn't this asking for trouble!"

"A good opportunity is a little indulgent, it can't be won again!"

Sun Ce took the case and stood up, his handsome and impeccable face was filled with a tough and resolute expression at this time, appearing heroic:
"So what about the torrential rain? You say you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe as your son. Tomorrow is both the first battle and the general offensive. I will personally supervise the battle! Gentlemen, the defenders must also think that our army will not attack. attack!"

"The way of the art of war, surprise is the victory, this is the right time!"

A series of arrangements and plans have been carried out at the moment, and the arrow is ready, the momentum is full, and it has to be launched!
If you don't send it, you will pour it out!

In Sun Ce's eyes, he tried everything possible to bring the morale of the army in Shu County to the bottom, and he should have done his best when he was suspicious. How could he voluntarily give up because of a sudden rain, and all previous efforts were wasted?

As for what the attack in the rain will bring, Sun Ce is very clear. Isn't it more difficult to attack the fortifications, and the casualties of the army may also be greater?

What does that count?
Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a short time, the truth that kindness does not command an army, his father Sun Jian explained it very clearly to Sun Ce when he was a child.

When it's time for soldiers to risk their lives to die, they must not be lenient!

Wu Qi sucked gangrene, sucked his father's gangrene, and his father died.Sucking his son's gangrene, and his son died again, is not benevolence, it is actually a means of ordering soldiers to die.

After all, what is an army?It is nothing more than a tool for emperors and generals to attack cities and conquer territories and achieve achievements!

In Sun Ce's eyes, his army, even his uncles and generals like Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and the soldiers who swore their allegiance to him are naturally the biggest support for him and his family to live and live. , but at a critical moment.
As long as the benefits are large enough, no matter how many casualties Sun Ce suffers, he will not feel sorry, let alone frown.

How can there be undead in war?

In the heavy rain, Sun Ce stood with his sword, showing his true qualities as a hero, and made a decision with one word.

The generals made no promises and dared not reply.
