Chapter 95 The Wind and Rain are coming
Chaisang City is an important stronghold for attacking Jingzhou. Chaisang City is garrisoned by General Ling Cao, and Chaisang City has 20,000 soldiers and horses. Among them, there are 10,000 sailors, and the others are soldiers.
In a mansion in Chaisang City, General Cheng Pu, and Ling Cao sat opposite each other. Looking at the general in front of him who was not inferior to him at all, Cheng Pu did not dare to ask a question, "General Ling, do you have any news about Liu Qi and others?"
Ling Cao shook his head and said, "Not yet." Then he comforted him, "General Cheng, please rest assured that as long as Liu Qi is not in Xiakou, Nanchang and Jiangxia, he will definitely find it. There is no official road near Chaisang. They can't go far away. It's easy to find them."
Cheng Pu nodded. He has been crazy these two days. When he arrived at Chai Sang, Liu Qi and others had walked all night. Although there was no officialdom in this area, it was not a problem to walk dozens of miles in one night. He has ordered a blockade of Liu Qi's looting of the two wives. After all, if it is spread out, I'm afraid the whole Jiangdong will lose face.
Thinking of Jiangxia's Huangzu, Cheng Pu was a little worried and said, "If you are looking for Liu Qi with such a big fanfare, will Jiangxia's Huangzu stop him?"
Ling Zu shook his head and smiled, "Then Huang Zu has not been preparing for war over the years. Many things in the county have been handed over to his son Huang She. This Huang She is proud and arrogant. General Cheng doesn't have to care about it."
Cheng Pu was relieved to hear that Huang Zu was preparing for the war. After all, Huang Zu was an important figure who killed Sun Jian in those years. However, thinking that Jingzhou has invaded Jiangdong, Cheng Pu said, "Since Huang Zu does not stop fighting for General Ling, why not take Jiang Xia for revenge?"
Ling Cao pointed to the map and said, "This is Nan County next to Jiangxia County, and Liu Biao's Feilong Army County is in Jiangxia County. Once Jiangxia is taken, in addition to Xiakou, our Jiangdong army is directly exposed to the front of the Feilong Army. If you want to take Jiangxia, you have to be fully prepared."
Hearing Ling Cao's words, Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "General Ling, don't worry. This time, the general came to bring the master's 2,000-guards and 5,000 cavalry, and the two generals, Sun Wei and Sun Jing, with 10,000 soldiers and horses, are already on the road, which is a good time to capture Jiangxia in one fell swoop."
"Oh, is this true?" Ling Cao's eyes flashed. Jiang Xia had 30,000 soldiers and horses and the Flying Dragon Army, a total of only 50,000, while Chai Sang had 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus Cheng Pu's 7,000 soldiers and horses and the coming 20,000 soldiers and horses were enough to take Jiangxia and defend it.
Cheng Pu was also a little excited and said, "Yes, although there are only 2,000 people who follow the general to Chai Sang now, the rest of the soldiers and horses can arrive in two days. We just need to prepare first, and then we can attack Jiangxia with a thunder blow in one fell swoop."
Ling Cao nodded and said, "In this case, prepare to attack the city first and strive to capture Jiangxia in one fell swoop." After saying that, he shouted at the door, "Come on."
Not long after, a soldier came in and saluted, "See the general."
Ling Cao said to his own soldiers, "Go on the order, increase the harassment of Jiangxia, and triple the number of soldiers who go to disturb."
"No." The soldiers took the order and left.
Cheng Pu looked at Ling Cao and asked, "General Ling, aren't you afraid that Huang Zu should prepare for this?"
Ling Cao shook his head and said, "This is to let Huang Zu lower his vigilance, and then he can take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack Jiangxia."
"General." A young general ran in and said, "Fifty miles east of Chaisang, I found that the cavalry of the brigade should be Liu Qi and others that the general was looking for."
Hearing the words of the young general, Cheng Pu and Ling Cao both stood up. Ling Cao and Cheng Pu looked at the young general and said, "Sect an order immediately and mobilization 10,000 soldiers and horses for deployment."
The young general took the order and left. Soon after, the horn sounded, and Chai Sang's soldiers and horses began to gather. Cheng Pu and Ling Cao came to the school yard. Ten thousand soldiers and horses had gathered, and the 2,000 cavalry who followed Cheng Pu were also ready to go.
Cheng Pu and Ling Cao led the soldiers and horses to chase Liu Qi and others under the leadership of the young general.
Just two hours after the army left, 5,000 cavalry rushed to Chaisang. These 5,000 soldiers and horses were the 5,000 cavalry who followed Cheng Pu to destroy Liu Qi. Each of the guards is equipped with two horses at an amazing speed. Five thousand ordinary cavalry can't keep up at all. These five thousand soldiers and horses can only hang far behind, and it was not until this time that they just arrived at Chaisang.
The 20,000 troops in Danyang County are marching in a hurry. The 20,000 troops do not even have a flag, and their clothes do not follow the official road. The 20,000 troops are the 20,000 troops led by Sun Wei and Sun Jing.
At first, the two were Sun Ce's cousin Sun Wei and Sun Ce's cousin Sun Jing. Sun Wei looked at the official in front and said, "Father, I will arrive in Lujiang County soon. It's not far from Chai Sang."
Sun Jing nodded and looked at the army behind him and said, "It will take two days to reach Chai Sang at such a speed. The speed is too slow to order the soldiers to speed up."
The soldiers behind him immediately went to pass the order. Sun Wei took a look at the tired soldiers behind him and couldn't bear to say, "Father, this is the limit of the pawn. If you increase the speed, I'm afraid you can't stand it. Besides, you can't fight even if you get to Chai Sang.
Sun Jing took a look at her son and said, "Do you think your lord really let us go to Chai Sang to destroy Liu Qi?"
Sun Wei said doubtfully, "Isn't it?"
Sun Jing shook her head and said, "Of course not. Even if you avenge your brother, why do you need to mobilized 20,000 soldiers from Wu County? That is, the soldiers and horses of Chai Sang and Jiujiang are enough to eliminate more than a thousand cavalry of Liu Qi. Besides, it is not enough to transfer troops from neighboring counties. Why do they mobilized soldiers and horses from Wu County?
Sun Wei asked, "Why? Isn't it for us to avenge our brother?
Sun Jing said, "On the one hand, revenge for your brother is just to find an excuse to transfer troops to Chai Sang. If I expected it well, the lord will use a lot of troops against Jingzhou."
Sun Wei was a little surprised and said, "Isn't it a good time to take action because the current situation is so tense?"
Sun Jing shook her head and said, "The current situation is tense, but the north may fight sometime. If Jingzhou is unprepared, we can easily occupy Jiangxia and attack the whole Jingzhou."
Sun Wei took a breath and didn't ask again. He didn't care too much about these things. He just needed to fight a war and didn't care too much about other things. Sun Jing looked at his son and sighed. His son could only be a famous general and was not suitable to be a good general. However, as long as you look closely, it's okay. On the one hand, Sun Ce sent their father and son to avenge Sun He, and on the other hand, he felt guilty for giving this credit to their father and son as compensation. He already knew that Sun Ce recruited Sun He's son into the Pro-Guardians, and he was also gratified about this. After all, even if Sun He is highly meritorious, it is impossible for him to send his son directly to the Guard without passing the test. Even ordinary people who enter the Guard can train himself into a general, not to mention that he has been practicing martial arts with Sun He since he was a child.
The command was quickly conveyed, and the speed of 20,000 troops increased again.
