Chapter 13 Crossing the Sea

"Xingba, how's the situation?" Seeing that Gan Ning, who was ordered to investigate the downstream water situation, also came back, Zhao Feng quickly asked.

"General, I'm afraid it won't work." Gan Ning said with a bitter face, and then explained in detail, "In the end, I will take a boat all the way from the downstream to the mouth of the sea, but there is not even a place where the army can cross the river."

"If you don't have it, forget it!" Zhao Feng also knows that there is little hope for this matter. After all, Sun Quan has been operating in Jiangdong for many years, and it is really unlikely to leave a big flaw for you. Since this move doesn't work, there will be another move.

"Yes, Wen Yuan, Wen Da, you two lead 10,000 elite soldiers to the village opposite Sanshan Town; Wen Chang, Wen Xiang, you lead 10,000 people to the village opposite Niuzhu." Zhao Feng continued to arrange the road.

"The last general obeys." Zhang Liao, Li Tong, Wei Yan and Xu Sheng agreed at the same time. Gao Lan beside him heard the words and pondered for a moment, "General Zhao, do you want to go together in many ways, so that the Jiangdong army can't figure out our reality?"

"It's not like this!" Zhao Feng smiled when he heard the words. At present, he told Gao Lan and Wen Ping in detail. After listening to it, the two of them were all convinced, and then they acted according to the plan.

"What has the Xuzhou Army been doing recently?" In Wujun City, Sun Quan asked Zhu Ran, who had just returned from Niu Zhu. Since he learned the news of Cheng Pu's defeat, Sun Quan did not dare to look at the Xuzhou army. I want to tell my lord that they have attacked our army's Jiangbei Shuizhai several times, but they have all returned in no way. Zhu Ran replied.

"So that's it. It seems that Xuzhou Mariners are just like this. Previously, relying on the sharpness of the ground and the bow and crossbow, he plotted General Cheng. If you really want to fight, it's not my opponent of Jiangdong sailors. Sun Quan was also secretly relieved when he heard the words. At this time, someone came to report that after Zhou Yu put down the rebellion in Huiji County, he went straight down to the Ganjiang River to fight with the Jingzhou navy.

"Gong Jin was really powerful, and he calmed down the rebellion so quickly. I have Gongjin, why are you afraid of Er Liu!" Sun Quan laughed when he heard the words, and the literary ministers in the hall were also smiling. What they didn't notice was that there was a trace of murderousness in the corners of Sun Quan's eyes.

"The Xuzhou army divided its troops and set up two villages?" In the water army village of Hulin Port, He Qi was more or less surprised to find the Malay newspaper.

"I think it's the Xuzhou army's preparation to go hand in hand, so that I can't figure out the truth. Tell Tai Shici and General Jiang Qin to be careful. He Qi thought about it and didn't come up with any other explanation. At the same time, people were asked to inform Tai Shici and Jiang Qin, and at the same time, they sent many horses to inquire about the news.

However, in the next few days, the Xuzhou army was almost disturbed by the river, but mobilized the army on a large scale every day. The army originally stationed in Lujiang City sent more troops to the battalion set up by Zhang Liao across the three mountains every day, and sent more than 5,000 troops every day. At the same time, after Zhang Liao set up Dazhai, he also began to collect rafts and prepare for the water battle.

These actions are not small, and they have been mobilized frequently for nearly ten days in a row. Naturally, they can't be hidden from Jiangdong. Zhao Feng sent more troops to the opposite of Sanshan Town? He Qi also felt a little strange.

"It's not good, general. It seems that Zhao Feng wants to bully General Jiang Qin, so he wants to cross the river from the three mountains! General Jiang has only 3,000 people. How can he deal with Zhao Feng's army? Send someone to support him as soon as possible!" When Lieutenant Lu Meng under He Qi heard the words, he immediately put forward his own views.

"I'm afraid it's not so simple, pass on the order, and continue to inquire." He Qi continued to give an order after meditating for a long time.

"General?" Lv Meng was a little surprised when he heard the words. He was waiting to say more, but he was stopped by He Qi. The latter looked at Lv Meng and then slowly said, "Zhao Feng is a powerful general under Liu Bei's command. It is often unreasonable to march and fight, which makes people unable to guard against it. Now that the situation of Sanshan and Niuzhu is not clear, they rashly lead troops to rescue them. What if Zhao Feng takes the opportunity to attack Hulin, what should he do?

"So that's it. The last general has been taught!" Lv Meng nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and was a little ashamed of his intuitive reaction. At present, He Qidi sent a detailed work to Sanshan and Lujiang to continue to inquire about the news. However, Lujiang City is still sending more troops to the three mountains, and 5,000 thunders can't be hit every day. In this way, in a few days, there are more than 50,000 horses in Zhang Liao's village. At the same time, Jiang Qin on the opposite side has only 3,000 defenders, and the strength is very different.

It's been a few days. On this day, He Qi suddenly summoned the generals to discuss the matter. Everyone, it turned out that Zhao Feng sent troops to reinforce Zhang Liao every day, but in the evening, he secretly asked people to go to Niu Zhu Wei Yan and Xu Sheng. This Zhao Feng originally wanted to play a trick to hide the world. On the surface, he reinforced Zhang Liao, but in fact, he reinforced Wei Yan. It seems that he wants to start from Niu Zhu!" He Qi put two pieces of information on the table in front of him and laughed.

"So it is. Fortunately, the general acted cautiously and did not send troops rashly. What should the general do at the present? Lv Meng was also afraid after hearing the words, and now he also admired He Qi more and more.

"What else can I do? Since Zhao Feng is smart, let's give him a head-on blow. Ziming, you led 2,000 horse horses to leave overnight, converge General Jiang Qin in Sanshan Town, and join forces to Niuzhu to converge General Taishici. I ask General Sun in Danyang City to send troops again. You wait for an ambush at night to prepare to attack Wei Yan. He Qi finished all the arrangements in one breath. Although Zhou Yu ordered the three to guard one place, He Qi was still the most outstanding among the three in terms of strategy, so invisibly, Tai Shici and Jiang Qin listened to his mobilization.

"I will understand at the end!" Lv Meng also bowed to take the order when he heard the words, and then mobilized the army and horses to go to Sanshan to meet Jiang Qin overnight. He marched in a hurry overnight and didn't arrive at Sanshan Town until the early morning of the second day.

"So that's it!" After listening to Lv Meng's explanation of He Qi's analysis, Jiang Qin suddenly realized, and then said with relief, "I said how to collect rafts in Zhang Liao's big village recently, but every day in the village, there is smoke in the village. It doesn't seem that 50,000 troops are stationed. It turned out to be a bluff. In this case, we'd better go together to help General Taishici!" At present, Jiang Qin left 500 people to be stationed in Sanshan Town led by his generals, and he led people to Niuzhu to reinforce Tai Shici.

"Is that so?" Seeing Lv Meng and Jiang Qin leading the army to reinforce, and hearing that He Qi arranged it like this, Tai Shici also broke out in a cold sweat. General Taishi, be careful. There are 50,000 to 60,000 people under Wei Yan on the opposite side, and they may be smuggled at any time!" Lv Meng hurriedly reminded.

"I reflect on myself!" Tai Shici also secretly pay attention to it, and many people have carefully inquired about the news on the other side.

"General, Wei Yan and Xu Sheng have been collecting rafts these days. Instead of going to the people's houses to collect them, but to order people to cut bamboo and trees on the nearby mountains, and then the craftsmen secretly made them in the rear army. Only when they inquired about it, they were convinced that it was correct. That night, a detailed report came back and reported in detail.

"So it is, Wei Yan is amazing enough to make a raft by himself. It seems that he will do it in two days!" Tai Shi Ci was also very calm when he heard the words. Then he sent the order and ordered the sergeant to rest and be on guard at night.

Two more days later, that night, Wei Yan and Xu Sheng's garrison on the other side of Niu Zhu suddenly put down a newly built bamboo raft and small wooden boat, and then a group of soldiers in black boarded the ship one after another, and then rowed to the silent Tai Shici's camp on the opposite side. General Wei, it's all ready!" On one of the larger boats, Xu Sheng looked around and whispered to Wei Yandao beside him.

"If the order continues, the soldiers should be on guard." Wei Yan also looked grim, and the ghost knife in his hand couldn't help clenching it more tightly.

Nearly a hundred boats and bamboo rafts quietly rowed to the other side. This section of the river is not very wide, and soon more than a dozen of them have arrived. Wei Yan and Xu Sheng just jumped off the boat, and a row of torches lit up on the shore, and then countless Jiangdong soldiers were killed. Three of them were Tai Shici, Jiang Qin and Lv Meng.

"Haha, Wei Yan, you and other tricks have been seen through by me. Why don't you just be captured?" In Lv Mengyang's proud laughter, the chaotic arrows on the shore shot at the Xuzhou sergeant who had not yet disembarked the ship like raindrops.

"Don't panic, block the arrow with the rattan card, and kill it with me!" Although Wei Yan saw that the other party was prepared, he still went forward first. The Xuzhou sergeants on the ship also raised the rattan or wooden boards in their hands to block the arrows one after another, and then jumped down to help the battle. Some of them jumped directly into the river and waded on the water to fight with the enemy.

"Hey!" Wei Yan's ghost-headed knife had a fierce close contact with Tai Shici's Fang Tianji, and then both of them stepped back a few steps. This hard fight turned out to be an equal. Although it was a step-by-step battle at this time, the martial arts skills reached the point of the two of them. Even if they were not on the moment, they had their own way of fighting. At present, the two of them fought with swords and halberd were comparable, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

"General Taishi, I'll help you!" Jiang Qin shot diagonally and killed Wei Yan. Don't bully more or less!" Xu Sheng quickly waved his knife to stop him. Wei Yan, if you have no chance of winning today, it's better to surrender early!" Tai Shici took time to look at the surrounding situation. Because Wei Yan's bamboo raft was too small, in fact, there were only about 2,000 people who crossed the river with him. There were few people, so he was sure to lose.

"Who said there was no chance of winning?" Wei Yan waved two knives to force Tai Shici and Jiang Qin away, and then took a few steps back and said with a smile, "Now General Wen Yuan should have taken down Sanshan Town!"

"What?" Tai Shici and Jiang Qin's faces changed greatly when they heard the words. Zhang Liao's Dazhai opposite Sanshan Town is a bluff. Every day, 5,000 people are transferred in during the day, but at night, they are transferred to your military tent. Do you think I don't know? Jiang Qinqiang calmed down.

"Hey hey, I went 5,000 people during the day, but only walked 2,500 at night, but everyone just hit two torches. Now there are 40,000 horses there. That's right. It's dark and blind in the middle of the night, and it's not so easy for you to count them!" Wei Yan sighed with emotion on his face.

"Bastard!" Seeing that Wei Yan's expression was so flat, Jiang Qin was furious that he was about to come forward and fight with him again, but he was stopped by Tai Shici: "General Jiang, if you lose Sanshan Town, it will be a big deal. Hurry back to the army!" Tai Shi said in a low voice.

"I understand!" Jiang Qin hated it and quickly ordered the sergeant not to be entangled with the Xuzhou army and leave the battlefield as soon as possible. Wei Yan did not do much for himself. He led the remnants to board the raft and retreat to the north shore.

"General Taishi, see you later!" Seeing that his ship had exceeded the range of the bow and crossbow of the Jiangdong Army, Wei Yan immediately stood upright and waved his hand to say goodbye. Tai Shici and Jiang Qin were so angry that they had to temporarily return to Dazhai and discuss the rescue of the three mountains.
