The Three Kingdoms

"My lord, there is one thing that is very strange."

At this time, Han Dang stood up and said: "In Xiaoshan County, which is opposite the Qiantang River, there are about tens of thousands of Kuaiji troops, but there is no trace of their navy. Since the beginning of the war, our spies have been going back and forth along the Qiantang River. The search was very careful, but there was no news of them, as if they had disappeared."

"No trace? Impossible. Guo Yi and Wang Lang are not stupid. With such a powerful fleet, they wouldn't put it away to watch a show. Could it be that they are hiding in some corner, waiting to give us a fatal blow!" Cheng Pu He stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said cautiously.

"It's not impossible, but although the Qiantang River is not small, it is not as complete as the Yangtze River. It may be difficult to completely hide such a powerful fleet from our noses!" Han Dang shook his head, road.

"My lord, no matter what, we have to cross the river. If we wait any longer, our soldiers will lose their morale." Huang Gai stood up and said loudly.

"Gongfu, you are right, we can't wait any longer, we have to cross the river."

Sun Jian nodded, his tiger eyes sank, and he said, "I don't care about so much now, so how about it, tonight, we will use the darkness as a cover to cross the river overnight and attack Xiaoshan."

"My lord, I'm willing to be the vanguard!" Ling Cao raised his eyes and stood up, clasping his hands.

"Okay, Ling Cao, I order you to lead three thousand troops to cross the river at midnight tonight and snatch the ferry." Sun Jian stood up, his burly body exuding a strong fighting spirit, and said.

"No!" Ling Cao nodded firmly.

"A certain army led [-] troops as the central army. Zu Mao, you led [-] troops as the left wing, and Cheng Pu you led [-] troops as the right wing. After the vanguard troops cross the river, you and I will cover the Chinese army crossing the river. Get ready now."

Now that he was ready to cross the river, Sun Jian said loudly without procrastinating.

"Promise!" The generals, who were already suffocating, began to get excited, walked out of the big tent, and began to beat drums and soldiers.

"Xiaotai, I will leave you two thousand soldiers and horses. You guard Qiantang. If there is any change in crossing the river, you can meet us." Sun Jian was still a little worried about the navy in Kuaiji.

"promise!"

Sun Jing nodded, seeing that there were only two brothers left in the big tent, she relaxed, and said with a smile: "Brother, Bofu is still young after all, wouldn't it be too childish for you to let Bofu preside over the battle in Danyang?" gone."

"Bo Fu had already performed the coronation ceremony years ago, he is now an adult, he should be alone." Sun Jian sat down and said softly.

"Then you should also leave some people for him to help. If you drag Cheng Pu and the others to Kuaiji, even if Bo Fu is capable, he may not be able to support him alone." Sun Jing sighed, for that brave man He is still very optimistic about the nephew of the three armies.

"Since you want to be on your own, Bo Fu should have Bo Fu's team." A deep light flashed across Sun Jian's eyes, he smiled slightly, handed over a piece of official work in his hand, and said, "Don't underestimate that kid, this bastard is completely He is stealing my thunder from him, you see."

"Good boy, the tiger father has no dogs! Our army is still trapped in Qiantang. They have won three battles and three victories, and they have won nearly one-third of the county town under Danyang's jurisdiction."

Sun Jing looked at the official affairs and showed a smile of surprise.

"Originally, I wanted them to enter Danyang as the vanguard and fight a tug-of-war in Danyang. After we solved Kuaiji, we would take Danyang to the ground. I didn't expect that Bofu would give a certain big surprise."

Sun Jian's expression also showed a rare admiration, and said: "Occupying Moling is a good move. In this way, I don't have to worry about Danyang, and it will definitely become our bag."

"Brother, they should not be underestimated. Now that the main force of the Danyang army is still there, Bo Fu and the others are still in danger." Sun Jing said cautiously.

"If you don't see the wind and rain, how can you become a talent!"

Sun Jian looked indifferently, stood up, looked at the blue sky outside, and said softly: "The most important thing now is to win the Kuaiji. I can't let my son look down on me as a father. Tonight, I must cross the river successfully."

Late at night, under the gloomy moonlight, dozens of small boats, with three thousand Jiangdong elite soldiers, quietly landed on a dark ferry in Xiaoshan County.

"A little too smooth?"

Ling Cao was dressed in black iron armor and held a big gun tightly in his hand. Crossing the river this time made him feel a bit too simple, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Where's the navy in Kuaiji?"

"General, there is a military camp at the ferry, guarded by three thousand Kuaiji soldiers." At this time, a scout came back and said in a low voice.

"Immediately pass down the order, each step is ready, and they will go in. Within half an hour, the battle must be resolved, occupy the ferry, and welcome the general to cross the river. If there are retreaters, they will be killed without mercy." Ling Cao straightened his expression and put these doubts Putting them all aside, flashing across his eyes, he roared in a low voice.

At the beginning, he brought hundreds of people from Yuhang to seek refuge with Sun Jian because of Yan Baihu's misfortune to Yuhang. It was the rocket ascent, which gave him a kind of gratitude to Sun Jian for his kindness.

"promise!"

The eight or nine soldiers around Ling Cao nodded firmly, with awe-inspiring fighting spirit.

……

At the ferry, the camp of the Kuaiji Army, the defending general Xiao Han did not fall asleep. Under the oil lamp, he read a volume of military books. It has been half a month since he was stationed here. But he never crossed the river, which made him relax a bit.

"kill!"

"Jiangdong soldiers, kill me!"

Suddenly, an overwhelming shout of killing resounded around the barracks, shaking the entire camp.

"No, I was careless, the Jiangdong army actually crossed the Qiantang River at night." Xiao Han felt a chill in his heart when he heard the shouts of killing, he stood up, put on his armor, picked up his weapon, and rushed out.

At this time, the entire barracks of the Kuaiji Army was in a sea of ​​flames. The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army set fires everywhere, and countless soldiers rushed in. Thousands of soldiers of the Kuaiji Army were caught off guard. In less than a moment, the state had lost more than half of its troops.

"What's going on?" Xiao Han strode out, grabbed a lieutenant next to him, and asked loudly.

"General, the Jiangdong Army has stolen the camp. More than half of our soldiers have been lost. Let's order to retreat!" Can't stop.

"Damn it, Xiao Han of a certain family is here, son of Kuaiji, come to me quickly." Xiao Han climbed on a horse, facing the chaotic battlefield, shouted loudly, trying to rally the scattered Kuaiji army.

"Thief general, die!" Seeing the situation, Ling Cao immediately rode his horse and armed himself with a gun, and killed him.

The martial arts of the two were originally between brothers. After dozens of rounds, both of them were injured and both fell off their horses. People fled, and the others either died in battle or were attacked by surprise.

"Finally won the ferry, by the way, where is the enemy general who fought with me?"

The battle was settled within half an hour. Ling Cao was hit on the arm, and just after it was bandaged, he asked a military lord.

"After he was stabbed off his horse, there was chaos everywhere. He was not among the corpses or prisoners. He should have been rescued by some of his own soldiers," a soldier reported.

"Good luck to him, pass the order down, clear up the battlefield immediately, and lead the lord to cross the river!" Ling Cao said loudly, not daring to hurt his arm.

"No!" Everyone said excitedly.

……

This time the crossing of the river went smoothly, and the powerful Kuaiji navy never appeared. After Sun Jian's army crossed the river, it took only three days to level Xiaoshan County and gain a firm foothold in Kuaiji.

[Text Chapter 86 Where is the Kuaiji Navy? ]

Kuaiji County was a large county in the Western Han Dynasty, but in the fourth year of Emperor Yonghe of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kuaiji was divided into Wu County and Kuaiji County.

The seat of Kuaiji County was moved to the relatively remote and backward Shanyin County. Today’s Kuaiji County, including the seat of Shanyin, has a total of fifteen counties under its jurisdiction. Only 40 to 50, not as prosperous as Wu County, but it can be considered a medium county.

Sun Jian led the army across the Qiantang River and captured Xiaoshan. After gaining a firm foothold in Kuaiji, he immediately stepped up and divided his troops into two groups.

Now, in order to guard against Sun Jian's main force, Guo Yi basically concentrates his troops in Shanyin. Relatively speaking, the southern part of Kuaiji is a piece of emptiness. If he wants to seize it without destroying it, Sun Jian will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity.

Along the way, with Zu Mao as commander and Cheng Pu as Sima, he led [-] troops, went south to Zhuji County, captured Wushang County, Taimo... occupied the entire southern part of Kuaiji County in one fell swoop.

The Jiangdong Army is an elite in a hundred battles, with a wide range of soldiers and generals. It is much stronger than the Kuaiji Army that was trained temporarily. Therefore, after Sun Jian crossed the Qiantang River, the battle to capture Kuaiji County became very smooth.
