General mighty

On April [-]th, there was a massive thunderstorm in the south of the Yangtze River in late spring and early summer.The raindrops hit the blue tiles, making the crackling sound of iron beans falling on the jade plate, and continuous rain curtains hung down from the eaves.

Gong Angu stood in front of the lobby of Jiangnan Governor's Mansion with his hands behind his back, watching the heavy rain pouring down the steps.

After Jiang Hui was dismissed, the new governor of Jiangnan was to be transferred from Guangdong and Guangxi.It will take ten days to travel from Guangdong to Guangxi to the south of the Yangtze River, and the current war in the south of the Yangtze River is in an unprecedented predicament:

One after another, the imperial palace's eulogizing palace newspapers came, all saying that the general Gong had made great contributions to the rebellion, regained the lost ground, recaptured Jiangning City, and forced the rebels back to Xiaoxiaoye City east of Chenhu Lake. The people of Jiangning are at peace.

But in fact, Gong Angu knew that he might as well not attack Jiangning City if he captured it.

Fighting a war is like playing chess. It is important to seize the opportunity, but what is more important is to seize the opportunity.The advantage of the first game is obvious, and the second game is easy to fall into the embarrassing situation of being led by the nose, just like him and Jiangnan's rebellious army today.

The breakout in the north of Jiangning City actually lured the enemy. What Princess Tongjia wanted was the high ground in Yecheng, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack: to the west of Yecheng, there was the majestic Hengtang Ridge, and to the east was Longjian Ridge. Surrounded by mountains and facing the Bufu River on one side, it is a typical battleground for military strategists.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Jiangning City's northern part lured the enemy to go deep, and the morale of the army was low, Gong Angu would never give up the territory of Yecheng easily.

Fortunately, although the soldiers in the middle and lower ranks of the army are extremely afraid of the so-called "undead soldiers" of Princess Tongjia, Luo Gaochi is worthy of being a general in the army: since they moved into Jiangning City, they have been begging for their crimes and meritorious deeds for days. Attack Naye City.

Yecheng, of course he wants to attack.

But there is no rush. If you go overland from Anlu County, you will need to cross the mountains behind Yecheng. The army is located on the low ground. If the defenders in the city are hit by rolling stones, the loss will be huge.

If it takes a waterway, the warship will definitely pass through the narrow river of no longer.

Narrow waterways are the easiest places to set up ambushes, especially when marching and fighting, we must avoid these dangerous places.This principle is very simple. Gong Angu understands it, and Princess Tongjia must have countless think tanks who understand it better.

So Gong Angu was waiting and thinking, what kind of surprise soldiers would be sent out to regain Yecheng.

There was too much rain in front of the steps, and the water channel had no time to swallow it, so the flood flooded over the first bluestone steps.Gong Angu squinted his eyes to see the layers of ripples on the surface of the water, and when he looked up, he happened to see Zhang Hui who was stepping on the water.

Zhang Hui is the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Navy. He was born in Jiangnan since he was a child, and was single-handedly raised by Wang Huang.He looks down on court officials like Gong Angu, and Wang Huang and others have won several victories in the south of the Yangtze River, unlike him - it seems that he always relies on his elder brother and sister to "fake" a meritorious service.

Soldiers will march, the most taboo is centrifugal.

However, in water warfare, Gong Angu is indeed inferior to Wang Huang and Zhang Hui.Squinting his eyes, Gong Angu told himself that he is the general of the south of the Yangtze River, and the former commander of the five armies.

So he is not angry, and can tolerate Wang Huang and Zhang Hui's disobedience within a "limited range".

Just like today, Gong Angu's order to the whole army was to rest and reorganize the army, but Wang Huang said that the rainy day is just right for training, and he brought hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from the Jiangnan Navy to Chenhu Lake for training.

Zhang Hui seemed to have come back from the shore of Dust Lake. Although he was wearing an umbrella, his whole body was already soaked, and he was blinded by the heavy rain, so he came towards the hall with all his momentum.Gong Angu subconsciously gave way to the right, but unexpectedly Zhang Hui grabbed his arm.

"Gong Angu! Follow me! There is great news!"

Gong Angu didn't care about the navy commander calling him by his name, he just frowned and took a step back. Subconsciously, he used his internal strength and dragged him into the heavy rain without asking Zhang Hui: "What good news?"

He asked indifferently, obviously not believing it very much.

Zhang Hui pulled two hands but did not pull, frowned, changed his hand to touch his face, and then said in surprise: "It's really good news! The governor of Luzhou came to surrender with the commander of the capital, saying yes Willing to submit to our army."

"The commander of the Luzhou capital?"

Gong Angu narrowed his eyes, tilted his head and thought for a while, a strange smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth:

"Where is the man?"

"Of course it's on board the Yongyi!" Zhang Hui took it for granted: "The governor of Luzhou said that there were wars in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were bandits everywhere. Lean over, the general ordered me to come and find you."

"How do you call 'find'?" The lieutenant beside Gong Angu couldn't take it any longer: "Our general is a top-ranking general after all. You are a little sailor, how dare you be so rude?"

Zhang Hui was taken aback, rolled his eyes and glanced at the officer, then let go of his hands and looked at Gong Angu: "Just say whether you will go or not? Anyway, if you don't go, our General Wang can lead the sailors to fight on the water." .”

Gong Angu didn't say anything, but the deputy general glared directly: "Zhang Hui! You are a traitor! Not to mention you, even Wang Huang dare not speak to our general like this! Quan, what's wrong with killing you and Wang Huang?!"

"Kill me and the general?" Zhang Hui sneered, "With you alone, you can lead the Jiangnan Navy's 20 troops? Heh—not to mention you, even if His Majesty came here in person, those sailors would only recognize us General Wang!"

"Kill us?" Zhang Hui even hooked the corners of his mouth, pouted his neck and leaned closer to the officer: "Are you here? I want to see, kill us, those 20 sailors mutinied, this Jiangnan, do you still belong to the army from the capital like you!"

The lieutenant general was so enraged that he immediately pulled out the long sword in his hand with a "crack", intending to cut Zhang Hui.

"It's me, not you, who can kill people in front of the battle." Gong Angu's expression remained unchanged, but he stretched out his index finger and middle finger to clamp the lieutenant general's sword. With a light flick, the sword shifted: "I You are not angry at all, what are you fussing about with him?"

The lieutenant was taken aback for a moment, then drew his sword angrily, and gave Zhang Hui a hard look.

Zhang Hui smiled complacently, turned his head and didn't like to pay attention to the generals who came from the south of the Yangtze River.

A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. In the south of the Yangtze River, Gong Angu was indeed a little helpless.

However, he wanted to meet the commander of the Luzhou capital who had come to surrender.Therefore, he nodded with Zhang Hui: "Brother Zhang Hui will lead the way? I also have some contact with this commander. If we really want to fight with water, we will need more efforts from you, Brother Zhang."

Seeing how forbearing he was, Zhang Hui looked down on him even more, but before coming here, Wang Huang had told him not to cause trouble, so Zhang Hui didn't say anything, just held up an umbrella, and wanted to take Gong Angu back in the rain .

Seeing him like that, Gong Angu smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Zhang, you have to hold up the umbrella, on my side——what an offense!"

Zhang Hui was taken aback for a moment, and then he was lifted up by the waist. In his panic, his umbrella fell to the ground. Just as he was about to start a fight, he found that the scene in front of him was quickly leaving behind him.

In the heavy rain, Gong Angu's figure was like a sharp blade, directly splitting the rain curtain hanging between the sky and the earth.

He had tried his best to rush over, but he was still soaked through.But Gong Angu carried a big man on his shoulders, and walked forward in the rain, but he didn't get wet at all - the depth of his inner strength really attracted attention.

After understanding this, Zhang Hui looked at Gong Angu with a little more respect.

Flying from the city of Jiangning to the ferry, there was no need for a boatman to cross. Gong Angu showed Zhang Hui a magical skill called "floating on the water".

Zhang Hui is straightforward and Wang Huang is seasoned. When he saw Gong Angu coming from a distance, he immediately greeted him personally.

No matter how Gong Angu came here, he just came forward again and again, said a basketful of good words to apologize, gave Gong Angu enough face, and personally led him to the cabin, and met with the governor of Luzhou and the capital. The commanders meet each other.

Gong Angu, the governor of Luzhou, has seen it a long time ago, and the pedantic old man has nothing to say.

The commander of the Luzhou capital looked handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary bearing, as if a potential dragon was hiding in this small mountain.This person has long brows and bright bones, and a long body. He wears a long whip that seems to be used by women, and it is tied to his left arm three times around the city.

"Master Geng, this is Gong Angu and General Gong." Wang Huang introduced.

The commander surnamed Geng summoned General Gong, and was about to bow down, but Gong Angu suddenly stepped forward to stop his long, bowing hands. His movements were gentle and polite, but he just stared at Geng with a smile on his face. Shi Dao:

"My lord's name, but the surname is Geng, and the single name is Xin?

Geng Xin had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and when he heard Gong Angu's question, he raised his lips: "Lord Lao, remember that Xiao Ke is Geng Xin."

"Born on May [-]th in the [-]th year of the Ming Dynasty, he lived in Qiu Chengling, Hang County, Jingzhou. He lost his father when he was young, and there was an old mother and two younger sisters in his family. He joined the army and joined the Huwei camp in Jiangbei."

"My lord understands clearly," Geng Xin blinked her beautiful eyes, and the smile on her lips deepened: "At a certain moment, Geng has never heard that there is a young lady in the Gong family who has not yet left the court. Geng is a small family. I'm afraid I can't bear it."

"Your Majesty Geng has a bright future. If there are female members of my Gong family who follow you, I'm afraid that you will be rich and prosperous in the future and enjoy endless things." Gong Angu didn't point it out, just smiled and continued to play charades with him.

"Gong, Shu, Duan, Yin, Zi, Shen, Jiang, and Han, among the eight great families in the capital, the Gong family ranks first, but Xiao Ke doesn't know where to hear General Gong's words?" Geng Xin asked. He blinked suspiciously, and looked to Wang Huang and Zhang Hui next to him for help.

Wang Huang also couldn't figure out Gong Angu's thoughts, so he just said slightly: "General, this is..."

"General Geng, you are also a member of the general family. Using the same strategy twice, is it too small to underestimate our Jiangnan rebellion army?" Gong Angu narrowed his eyes suddenly, and squeezed Geng Xin's hand with a little force: " If I remember correctly! You are a disciple of Jiang Jintian's sect! Jiang Jun, the son of Jiang Jintian, directly joined the rebels, and now you are pretending to surrender, but you are actually planning to trick us into going with them!"

He suddenly spoke harshly, and Wang Huang and Zhang Hui also stared wide-eyed in fright.

The governor of Luzhou knew Geng Xin's details, so he took a step back in fright and avoided Geng Xin.

Geng Xin was not in a hurry, seeing Gong Angu suddenly burst into laughter, he didn't dodge or run away, he just nodded and said: "General Gong is right, Jiang Jintian was indeed my husband once. And what the general said The predictions are not too bad, I, Geng Xin, came here today, but I have a plan to lure the enemy."

Gong Angu narrowed his eyes, waiting for his next words.

"But—" Geng Xin smiled like a fox stealing a chicken: "But—my trick to lure the enemy is not you, the general!"

"Your Excellency, the governor, knows my details," Geng Xin continued to explain, looking around, and said very reasonable: "You only need to inquire about my relationship with Jiang Jintian to know, I am not that stupid, I will come here directly Trick the general."

"What's more--" Geng Xin pressed his hand down: "General Gong also knows that there is an eighty-year-old mother in my family and two younger sisters who have not yet left the cabinet. Playing with the lives of your family members."

Gong Angu looked at him for a while, but Geng Xin still kept that playful expression.

"General Gong, I will take people to Yecheng to feign surrender. Wouldn't it be a good idea for us to cooperate internally and externally?"

"It's just General Gong," Geng Xin exerted more energy, bowed down, he raised his head and squinted at Gong Angu and said, "It's just General Gong, don't you dare believe it—it's just me.
