Chapter 112 Serial Warship
It is said that Pound has been conscientious and hard-working since he followed Ma Teng to start the army. His bravery and martial arts are not excluded from Ma Chao, but also the first person under Xiliang's tent. During the Chuping period, Pound attacked the rebellious Qiang, Dian and other foreigners from Ma Teng. He made several military achievements and later moved to the lieutenant. Then Ma Teng received He Chen's order and began to station troops in Qinchuan, including the subsequent capture of Chang'an, from Chencang to Shuchuan and other battles, which have always been the best choice for the pioneers of the main seal. Whether it was in the face of the princes in Guanzhong, he killed Li Chi and other thieves, or when attacking Wudu, he went to battle shirtless to inspire the three armies, Pang De deserved to be the first fierce general of Xiliang. It's just that this person is fierce, and his surname is as fierce as fire. Sometimes he does things with a lot of blood. The same is true, including Ma Chao. It may be because he grew up in the northwest Rong ethnic group, so he created such a surname.
Now he followed Ma Teng out of Baidi City from Ba County and went south to the Yangtze River. He was even more ambitious and wanted to make more achievements. Unexpectedly, the elite water army in Jiangdong gave him a slap in the first battle, telling him with bloody facts that this was not in the northwest, nor on the back of the galloping horse. The soldiers were fierce in the land, and the brave fighting ability of the horse could not be used at all.
Pound led hundreds of warships and prepared to escort supplies from Wulin to Shiyang, but he was blocked by Zhou Yu's water army. After the Qiang soldiers in the northwest got on the warship, they were all dizzy, and their combat effectiveness could not be played at all. Under the command of Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, two fierce generals, led nearly a hundred warships to take over quickly. In the close battle, if it hadn't been for Cai Mao's timely response to the brigade, Pound would have been removed from the water in this battle.
Wulin Dazhai.
He Chen sat in the handsome position, with a few confidants on the left and right sides, and in the middle of the handsome camp, Pangde was tied up with all kinds of flowers. At this time, he was extremely embarrassed. He had already known where the armor helmet had been thrown. His head was scattered, his face was full of flesh, and his face was stained with blood. The armor on his body was still intact, but his arm was dyed red again, and he was obviously injured. In this way, where is the demeanor of the first fierce general in Xiliang?
At this time, Pound's face was full of shame. The northwest man did not refute his defeat and waited for the military order to deal with it.
Ma Teng, who was standing next to Pound, said anxiously, "General, although Pound broke his spirit at the beginning of the war and lost a lot of supplies, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. Seeing that he has been following his subordinates for many years, he is better to spare his life."
Of course, He Chen will not kill Pound, which is a fierce future, and he is very familiar with the geographical environment of the northwest. In the future, he will use troops against foreign races in the Western Regions, and there must be a vanguard general like Pound. It's just that this person is Ma Teng's confidant and loyal. He has to knock no matter what, otherwise he will always be the old horse waiting for one in his heart, and I will be the second. The best way is to peel him out of Ma Teng's hands, and then send him to a suitable place. He will be brainwashed at night, and finally achieve the goal of changing the door and loyalty to himself.
And Ma Teng, now holding the soldiers of Xiliang and Shuchuan, can't guarantee that he will hold the soldiers and have different aspirations. Moving to Chang'an by himself is the first step to reduce his military power. Next, he will definitely transfer Ma Teng to the center, give him a high-ranking official, and then let people take over Yongzhou and Liangzhou, including Yizhou's territory. With the help of Ma Teng's honest hand over the military power, He Chen guarantees that he will not only be a high position in his life, but also a knighthood for generations. But if this guy has a strange mind and has any out of the mind, then I'm sorry. Don't blame Uncle He for crossing the river and tearing down the bridge and killing the donkey. Of course, He Chen will definitely not kill Ma Teng, but compared with Liu Biao's end, it will not be much better. At least I prefer Ma Chao and Ma Dai, including Ma Yunlu and other heroes.
"Shoucheng, I'm just worried that such a thing will happen. If you want to know that my army is tired of the expedition, it is difficult to guarantee morale. It is hard to change their active surnames, but it makes Pound squander in the first battle. In addition, our soldiers are not convinced and there are many diseases. Now the morale is depressed, and there are many complaints. How can you convince the public if you don't take Pound to rejuvenate the army?
"This..." Ma Teng was speechless, with a look of embarrassment.
"There is no need to say that Pound knows the military's legal order. No matter how the general punishes him, he deserves it." Pound was stubborn and shouted with a thick neck.
He Chen smiled in his heart and pretended to say to Ma Teng, "But since Shoucheng has spoken, I will sell you my face. Well, Pound's death is avoidable, and there is no escape. He hit the 20 boards again, fined him for half a year, and the official was demoted to one level, so that he was ordered to supervise the transportation of grain and fodder in the rear. If things are done well, after Sun Jian is solved, he will not only be reinstated as an official, but also re-use the general. What do you think?"
Ma Teng breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that He Chen would harden up and directly pushed Pound out and cut it down. Now I suffer a little bit. As long as I do my best, I will recover sooner or later. Ma Teng then let go of his mind and nodded, "But it's up to the general."
"Ponder, what do you mean?" The cold expression on He Chen's face dissipated and he said with a faint smile.
What's wrong with Pound? In his opinion, it is General He who can save his life. As for hitting the twenty boards again, isn't it drizzle for the rough-skinned himself? After a two-day break in **, isn't it lively? He hurriedly shouted, "Thank you for not killing."
Soon, four strong tiger guards came in and wanted to suppress Pound, but in order to show the ruthlessness of military law, He Chen did not let the soldiers be rude, but let Pound go out by himself and save him face. Although this trick didn't have much effect, at least it made Pound secretly grateful to He Chen.
After this matter, He Chen turned to Ma Teng and said, "Although our army gathered 500,000 horses and set up a position in the Wulin area, but most of the soldiers are soldiers and do not accustomed to water warfare. Even if we train the water army now, I'm afraid it won't be a success overnight. Our army is fighting quickly. If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid it's not good for the war. I don't know what's the plan for Shoucheng?
Although Ma Teng is rough, his mind is also delicate. Otherwise, how can he lead the division of tigers and wolves in the two states of Yong and Liang? He laughed twice, and then spread out his hands. His rough face was piled up into a ball. He said happily, "Who in the world doesn't know Guo Jiashan's tricks? Jia Xu is so tricky. Xun You, Xun Yu, Tian Feng, Ju Shu, who is not a resourceful person? The general asked the lower officer. Should he ask the wrong person?
He Chen scolded the old fox in his heart, and Ma Teng pushed things clean with a word, so that he couldn't catch the handle at all. However, General He didn't want to do it like this. His face was also full of smiles and said, "What is Shoucheng talking about? One person is short and two people are long. Don't you believe that you don't have any idea in your heart?
He Chen is so entangled with things. The main point is that he is still worried that Ma Teng will be loyal to the Han Dynasty and exchange information with Liu Xie. Although he has surrounded the palace tightly, who dares to guarantee that any secret edicts will be circulated? Besides, according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this guy is very loyal to the Han Dynasty.
When Ma Teng saw that He Chen said this, he had no choice but to say, "There are one or two ideas, but I'm afraid it won't get into the eyes of the general."
"Oh? If you have any ideas, Shoucheng just talks about it, and it's okay to use it as a reference.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Ma Teng could only clear his throat and began to say, "The advantage of our army is in the step-by-step battle, and Sun Jian's advantage is precisely in the water battle. I thought about it. In addition to training the navy, is there any way to make the soldiers walk on the boat like walking on the ground?
Why are you so familiar with this? He Chen pondered in his heart, but continued, "What did Shoucheng think of?"
Ma Teng was obviously also aroused by He Chen. He was very excited. His eyes were shining and said, "In the river, the tide is falling, the water is impermanent, and the wind and waves are endless; and most of our army are northern soldiers, and they can't get used to fighting by boat for a while. In the bumps on the ship, they not only lose their combat strength, but also are prone to disease. If the general's large and small boats are coordinated and matched, or thirty are in a row, or fifty are in a row, the head and tail are chained with an iron ring, and then a large board is laid on it to gather the power of dozens of boats, not to mention that people are as stable as Mount Tai on it, even horses can walk. Dozens of warships spread out together, let it be stormy and high, and we are on the ground?"
Fuck, no wonder this is so familiar. It turns out to be a copy of Pang Tong's serial plan? He Chen's heart jumped fiercely, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, but his head was running rapidly. Did Ma Teng come up with this method by himself, or was someone behind him? It's nothing if he comes up with it himself, but if someone gives advice behind his back, it won't be so simple. Is there Huang Gai's bitter trick next? Zhuge Liang took advantage of the east wind? Isn't this fucking ridiculous? He Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Ma Teng saw that General He's eyes were uncertain and he didn't say anything for a long time. Obviously, he was thinking about this question and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what the general thinks this method is?"
He Chen woke up from meditation, but the strange expression on his face made Ma Teng a little confused and confused, "Why does the general look at his subordinates like this?"
At this time, He Chen took a deep breath and slowly said, "Is this method come up with by Shoucheng himself?"
Ma Teng didn't know the meaning of He Chen's question, but his northwester Shuangli said at a glance: "It was what my subordinates came up with when I had nothing to do. What's the matter? Is there anything wrong in the middle?
"Haha, no, no. It's a great plan for longevity. If our army can defeat Sun Jian and Liu Bei, it will be your first achievement. He Chen is like the spring breeze blowing on his face, with a smile.
Bullshit, I'm a riding general now. It's my first credit. Do you give up the position of general? Ma Teng secretly despised He Chen in his heart.
