Chapter 55 Zhang Yide Shouchun recuperation Zhao Zilong Jiangdong reinforcements

What is embarrassment? Now Zhao Feng has completely realized it. Looking at Zhang Fei's expectant look, Zhao Feng was about to report the situation to him. Pang Tong took a deep breath and took the initiative to come forward and said, "Three generals, it's all because the unification is not well planned, so that the success is about to be successful."

"What's going on?" Zhang Fei was a little puzzled when he heard the words. Pang Tong sighed and told the story of the battle. Zhang Fei's face became more and more severe. Finally, after listening to it, he patted his thigh and said, "Zhao boy, you are so confused. Didn't you design Cao like this back then? Now you are also in this kind of plan. After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly and sighed.

"Three generals, this is all wrong. This plan is my decision. It has nothing to do with General Zhao. I will see the Lord face to face to plead guilty." Pang Tong was a little ashamed. Zhao Feng was also not easy to let him take the blame alone. He also said, "I am the general, and I am responsible for the crime. Please ask the third general to report it to the master."

Zhang Fei looked at the two people in front of him and sighed for a long time, "Want or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. Why do you blame yourself? Besides, the Jiangdong army also killed and injured thousands of people. Everyone is a draw, and it can't be regarded as a defeat. What's the best way to plead guilty? It's okay, it's okay!" Seeing that there was something wrong with the two, Zhang Fei also changed the topic and said, "You just said that it was the cavalry who robbed the camp?"

"Exactly, we also captured dozens of cavalry and more than 200 war horses." Pang Tong knew that Zhang Fei didn't want them to be embarrassed, so he was grateful that he no longer struggled with the topic of guilt. Hearing what they said, Zhang Fei frowned and said, "When Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong, there were only two or three thousand cavalry under his command. How can there be so many cavalry?"

"General Huang is questioning the captured cavalry, and he will know soon!" Zhang Fei nodded at Pang Tong's interface. Zhao Feng looked at the three people in the tent, hesitated for a moment and said, "General San, Shi Yuan, we really underestimate Sun Quan!"

Zhang Fei and Pang Tong nodded silently when they heard the words. In fact, it was not only them who underestimated Sun Quan this time, but also the Liu Bei Group in Shouchun. They thought that after Sun Quan regained Jiangdong, his strength was not good, and the army could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop everywhere. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei was first plotted, and then his plan, which he thought was stable, was also broken, which made Zhao Feng have to face the enemy in front of him again.

"The only plan is to report to the master in Shouchun first. After all, there are so many cavalry in the Jiangdong Army, but we are all infantry, and it is inevitable to suffer losses. Pang Tong said. Although the words were a little euphemistic, Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei both understood that they were going to ask for help from the base camp.

" By the way, Shi Yuan, Xing Ba led the army to attack Jiaozhou. Why is there no news so far?" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered another question and hurriedly asked. Gan Ning takes the waterway, and you can reach Jiaozhou in ten months at most. There should have been news long ago.

"Jiazhou is full of miasma. You have to wait until winter before the army can enter Jiaozhou. General Gan agreed with us to break Yulin and Jiaozhi first, then go down Gao Liang and Guanzhu, and finally join forces with Huo Zhongmiao, the governor of Cangwu, to go to the South China Sea, but I don't know if Huo Zhongmiao can hold on until General Gan's army arrives. If Cangwu has been lost, it can only march to Jiaozhou from Guiyang or Wuling. Pang Tong is a little uncertain.

"Cangwu is mountainous, and the city is steep. General Huo is good at guarding the city and should be safe. Sun Quan's army is all in Jiangdong, and there are only 20,000 to 30,000 horses in Jiaozhou at most. It is impossible to break Cangwu. Zhao Feng was still very confident in Huo Jun's ability to defend the city. At the beginning, he gave him 5,000 elite soldiers. If he couldn't defend Cangwu like this, then he would not muddle along.

"That's good. General, it's difficult to capture Wu County in a hurry. Although Sun Yi of Xindu County has fewer troops, he has cavalry under his command, which is also difficult to break. In my opinion, I would like to ask the lord to transfer the cavalry to come here. We will first attack through the new capital, Poyang and other places. At the same time, General Ji Ling, who is in Guiyang, will send troops to Luling and then consult with us. In this way, we can attack the South China Sea with General Gan's guard, and divide Wu County in isolation. Let's see how Sun Zhongmou can ascend to heaven when he sits in the lonely city!" In the end, Pang Tong also said viciously. Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng nodded silently. This battle is indeed a little aggrieved until now. At present, Zhao Feng wrote a table, detailed the military situation to Liu Bei, and ordered the whole army to retreat for 30 miles.

"The third brother was poisoned with an arrow. Bo Tao retreated 30 miles and was defeated in the melee at night?" Liu Bei looked at the military newspaper just sent in his hand, and his tone was full of surprise. Not to mention him, even Lu Su and others can't believe it. I remember how much soldiers Zhao Feng used to attack Jiangdong in those years. He skillfully crossed the Yangtze River, took Danyang, Bloody God of War Tingling, and separated Zhou Yu. Almost three times, five times divided by two to solve Jiangdong. Now it's just that Sun Quan, who has been greatly reduced in strength, has been defeated in a row, which makes everyone unbelievable.

"One general is incompetent and kills the three armies. Lord, this must be caused by Zhao Botao's incompetence. Please treat him and thank the three armies!" A staff member of Liu Bei came forward and said. He is not someone else, but Wang Can and Wang Zhongxuan, who has nothing to do with Zhao Feng. This man is very famous in Jingxiang. Liu Bei was not easy to deal with him, so he had to recruit him as a staff member of his lieutenant's mansion and let him come to Shouchun to serve, so as to save the audience in Jingzhou. Now there is a chance to drop a stone against Zhao Feng. How can Wang Can be polite?

"Zi Jing, what do you think?" Liu Bei did not answer Wang Zhongxuan's provocation directly, but asked Lu Su that he still had to ask Lu Su about this kind of thing.

"Lord, if it is true as General Zhao said, there are a lot of cavalry under Sun Quan's command, then it will be a little strange. Only now, I'm afraid it's necessary to transfer the cavalry to help the battle, otherwise it's all depends on the infantry. It's really difficult to deal with Sun Quan!" Lu Su thought for a time and said. Liu Bei nodded and agreed that the cavalry was a strongman in the era of cold weapons, and Liu Bei naturally knew this truth. At present, there is no war in Jingzhou, Qingzhou and Yuzhou. Zilong led 10,000 Jingzhou cavalry and 20,000 infantry to the south to help Bo Tao. Liu Bei thought for a time. Since Cao Liu's truce, Liu Bei has not dared to relax his vigilance. Wei Yan guarded Qingzhou, Guan Yu guarded Jingzhou, and Zhang Liao guarded Yuzhou, ready to deal with Cao's sudden attack. Zhao Yun was in Jingzhou for a while, busy helping Guan Yu shape the 20,000 cavalry in Jingzhou. At present, this matter has come to an end, and he can free up his hands to help the Jiangdong war. What's more, the climate between the south of the Yangtze River and Qingzhou is very different. If the white horse is transferred from Qingzhou to the south of the Yangtze River, one is troublesome, and the other is likely to cause the non-combat name of the horse to be reduced.

"Your father-in-law, you can also order General Ji Ling to go out of Guiyang and cross the Jiangxi River to attack Luling. It is reported that Luling was garrisoned by Sun Kuang's army, and the garrison was only 10,000. General Ji was originally the governor of Luling, and it was not a problem to recover Luling. Lu Su said again.

"Just like this, Bo Tao also mentioned it in the letter." Liu Bei nodded. Ji Ling was really depressed recently. He went to Shangyong to help deal with Zhang Lu. As a result, as soon as he left, he asked Pan Zhang to copy the bottom of his jurisdiction. Now he can't go back to Luling. He is in Jingnan to replace Zhao Feng to practice the new army just recruited this year. How can he be depressed? At present, Liu Bei issued two orders in a row, asking Ji Ling and Zhao Yun to lead the army to act separately.

"Zilong, Mr. Zhao, Jiangdong, please." At the gate of the Xuzhou army camp outside Wujun City, Zhang Fei poked his head out of the carriage and "taught" Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun, as well as Pang Tong and others who came to see him off. Zhao Feng and others naturally nodded repeatedly, and the third master reluctantly returned to the car and slowly rushed back to Shouchun. There is no way. There is a shortage of medicinal materials on the front line. Zhang Fei has not been cleared up, but he can only take a car and can't ride a horse.

"If a dragon comes, I don't have to worry!" Now that Zhang Fei has left, Zhao Feng, the left general, is the highest among the generals. Naturally, all affairs should be managed by him. At present, everyone sits down to discuss.

"Bao, I heard that Sun Quan actually has cavalry?" As soon as Zhao Yun sat down, he quickly asked the question he was most concerned about. As the first cavalry in Liu Bei's army, Zhao Yun's understanding of horses is also rare in the world. After thinking for a long time, he didn't expect Sun Quan to get a war horse to form a cavalry from there.

"Exactly, General Huang tortured those cavalry and finally figured out what was going on." Zhao Feng smiled, and then Huang Zhong told everyone about it. According to the captured cavalry, these horses were brought from the mountains of Jiaozhou and bordering Yunnan after Sun Quan arrived in Jiaozhou. These horses are relatively small. Not to mention compared with Xiliang and Youzhou or Bingzhou horses, even compared with Shandong horses, their sprint ability and strength are obviously worse. In addition, there are no talents under Sun Quan who can train cavalry. Therefore, compared with Zhao Yun's Fengyun cavalry or Baima Yi Cong trained, the combat effectiveness is absolutely far worse. . Even so, in the battle the day before yesterday, these cavalry also made Zhao Feng, who only had infantry, suffer a lot.

"Can Jiaozhou still produce horses?" Zhao Yun was a little unbelievable. Zhao Feng looked at Zhao Yun, who was surprised in front of him, but he was calculating in his heart. After listening to what the prisoners said, I understood that these horses should be the Guangxi pony horses and Yunnan Yunnan horses as later generations said. These horses are not good at sprinting and are small, so they are not very suitable for cavalry. However, these horses have good endurance, good load-bearing and can walk on mountain roads, so they are generally used for transportation. On the famous tea-horse ancient road, those horse gangs mostly use these Yunnan horses. At present, the horses in Liu Bei's army are still relatively nervous. After defeating Sun Quan, getting more such horses from Jiaozhou can also slightly alleviate the needs of the army.

Historically, Yunnan horses and Guangxi pony were officially accepted by the mainstream group only during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Although there have been records before, few people have paid attention to them. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan's ups made the world see this species more than a hundred years in advance.

"Zilong has arrived, and General Ji Ling is also attacking Luling. We will first take down Xindu and Poyang and divide Sun Quan. The new capital will be Sun Yi. This person's surname is strong, so let's start with him first. After Zhao Feng briefly assigned the task, he ordered the army to turn to Xindu County. He didn't worry about whether Sun Yi would stay dead. With his understanding of Sun Yi, this person is definitely the kind of person who is easily irritated. What's more, it's difficult for Sun Yi not to be irritated when he meets a person like Zhao Feng, who is good at psychological offensive.
