Chapter 63 Time is very important
"What?" Pang Tong was also shocked when he heard the words. He grabbed the military newspaper in Zhao Feng's hand. Pang Tong was also overjoyed at a glance.
"The six counties of Jiaozhou have been recovered, and thousands of people in Lingtong have been far away from Zhuya County, which has not harmed the overall situation. After Jingxiang sailors are familiar with the local water situation, they can cross the sea!" Zhao Feng sighed with a little bit. Gao Lan, Huang Zhong and others were also surprised and happy to hear this. No one expected that in just a month, the whole territory of Jiaozhou would be cleaned up by Gan Ning. It should be noted that Jiaozhou has been occupied by the Sun family for nearly seven years since the Sun Ce era. Even if the interior is empty now, at least there are still 20,000 to 30,000 people stationed. Gan Ning led 30,000 sailors, and in just one month, he actually pacfied Jiaozhou.
"If it weren't for Guangyuan's clever plan, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy." Pang Tong also sighed after reading it. The disciples of Lumen Mountain really lived up to their reputation. Shi Guangyuan also cleaned up Sun Jing, who had been in Jiaozhou for several years. Now Sun Quan's strongholds, except for Huiji and Wu County, there are only Yizhou and Zhuya counties overseas.
"It's the middle of the twelfth of the twelfth lunar month. I think it's better to let the soldiers rest and break the Wujunhe Huiji after the New Year!" After reading the military newspaper, Pang Tong also put forward his own suggestions, and Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others also deeply agreed. I didn't expect Zhao Feng to smile and said, "Shi Yuan, I'm going to do the opposite this time. I decided to send troops to Wujun and Huiji in two days. I will lead all the way to attack Wu County, Zilong, you will lead a man and horse to attack Huiji.
"Huh?" Pang Tong and others were quite surprised when they heard the words. Bo Tao, it's cold in winter, so it's not appropriate to march!" Huang Zhong first said that the rest of the generals also felt that it was a little too hasty to march at this time. The truce in winter is the basic common sense of war. Unless you want to win in danger, few people choose to march in winter. Now more than 100,000 Xuzhou troops are stationed in Xindu County, leaving only the last two strongholds to besiege Sun Quan. Just fight steadily. Everyone feels that there is no need to be so impatient.
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "I also planned to send troops after the Spring Year, but after checking the prisoners of war these days, I changed my mind."
"View prisoners of war?" This time, everyone felt even more confused, and even Pang Tong was a little surprised. Zhao Feng did not show off, but said directly, "I have seen the prisoners of war of the Jiaozhou Army. Although it is not cold this year, since the beginning of winter, they have begun to stand the weather more and more, and the number of frostbite people has increased. The climate in Jiaozhou is warm, and these Jiaozhou troops can't stand the cold winter when they come to Jiangdong. If there is another heavy snow, I'm afraid that half of the state army will lose its combat effectiveness. If you don't take this good opportunity to take Wu Jun and Huiji, when will it be?
"So that's it!" Pang Tong and others suddenly understood that they all knew that the climate in Jiaozhou was warm, but they did not expect that the Jiaozhou army was so resistant to freezing. Zhao Feng knew that Lingnan has at least a dozen degrees Celsius in winter, but the lowest temperature in Jiangdong may reach below zero. With a sudden reduction of the temperature of more than ten degrees, these Jiaozhou troops who grew up in Lingnan are naturally unyield.
"If so, the general can wait patiently for one or two days. If you look at the sky at night yesterday, there will be snow soon. When it snows, I'm afraid the Jiaozhou army won't be able to eat!" Pang Tong said, relieving his excitement a little. Everyone looked up at the cloudy sky and saw that it was really going to snow. At present, Zhao Feng also ordered the troops to pay attention to keep warm. After it snowed, they took the opportunity to send troops to Wu County.
Pang Tong's forecast was not wrong. In the evening of this day, snowflakes gradually fell down. Zhao Feng and others looked at the falling snowflakes and prayed in their hearts that it would come bigger. Zilong, why don't we send troops overnight? Such a snowy Sun Quan will be careless. With good luck, we can not only take advantage of people's danger, but also be surprised. Zhao Feng looked at the falling snowflakes and suddenly suggested. He remembered the battle four years ago. Zhou Yu was caught off guard by the Jingzhou army on a snowy night. Today, he may concoct it in accordance with the law.
"It's so good, general. I'm afraid it will take at least a day or two to stop this snow. If you send troops as soon as possible, you may be able to take Wujun and Huiji as soon as possible." Pang Tong also strongly agrees with this. At present, Zhao Feng led 30,000 horses, together with Huang Zhong and others, secretly left Xindu County in the heavy snow and quietly left for Wu County. Zhao Yun and Gao Lan also led a partial division of 20,000 people to the meeting.
At this time, in Wujun City, Sun Quan was already very anxious. Since the beginning of winter, the number of frostbite of soldiers under his command has increased. Although I have tried my best to equip them with cotton-padded clothes to protect them from the cold, these Jiaozhou people who are used to the warm Lingnan will freeze their lungs even if they breathe slightly cold air. And the heavy snow that began this evening made Sun Quanxue even worse.
"Your lord, hundreds of soldiers have just been frostbitten and unable to continue to defend the city. They have been transferred to private houses in the city to recuperate." At this time, Lv Meng came to report. Sun Quan smiled bitterly and asked, "Ziming, how many soldiers can we have to fight?"
"At present, there are still about 18,000 sergeants in the city who can fight, and there are about 7,000 or 8,000 sergeants in Jiaozhou who are frostbitten." Lv Meng hesitated for a moment and still said the specific number. Sun Quanchang sighed. He knew that the most elite under his command was the Jiaozhou Army, but in the past, more than 5,000 people were killed and injured in Jiaozhou, and now another 7,000 or 8,000 people were frostbited, which was a big loss. Most of the more than 10,000 people who were not frostbite are local soldiers. However, these people are either the troops who were recruited at the beginning or the recruits who have just been recruited. It is difficult to guarantee loyalty and combat effectiveness by fighting with them. Thinking of this, Sun Quan also had a headache. Unexpectedly, he was stoned by a heavy snow.
"Zi Ming, is the ship ready?" Sun Quan suddenly raised his head and asked. Lv Meng knew that his lord was already thinking about the way out, but the current situation is really not optimistic. At present, Lv Meng also said honestly, "Lord, don't worry, we have parked two big ships in the port. Once something goes wrong, we can escape from the tunnel a few miles east of Wujun City, first take a boat from the river to the port, and then change to a big boat to Yizhou!"
"It's okay, as long as you can save your life, it's okay if you don't want this Jiangdong!" Sun Quan sighed. Looking at Lv Meng in front of him, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Zi Ming, my lord has not been able to give you any benefits. Before the year of standing, I will go overseas with me. It's really aggrieved for you.
"What did the Lord say? Lv Meng is just Wu's next reckless husband. Thanks to the Lord's failure to give up, he has the status of today! At present, if we try our best to fight, we will be defeated. We will go overseas to be a foreigner, become a king in a foreign country, and stay away from this chaotic world. Lv Meng said hurriedly. Sun Quan looked at the young man who had followed him for many years and nodded with emotion.
There was nothing to say overnight. Two hours after the army set out, Zhao Feng's passers-by had walked dozens of miles from Xindu County. Shi Yuan, when will the snow stop? Looking at the heavy snow that showed no sign of weakening, Zhao Feng also asked a little helplessly. At this time, after two hours of accumulation of snow on the ground, it can almost pass the foot surface. If you do it again, it will be more difficult to march.
"It will stop in the early morning, but there should be another one tomorrow." Pang Tong is not as cold-resistant as Zhao Feng. Now he is wrapped in a cotton-padded coat, but he is still a little wobbly on the horse. Zhao Feng looked at him and deliberately sighed, "Shi Yuan, how can you not withstand the cold? Kong Ming is much better than you."
"A Liang is a person who has grown fields. Naturally, I can't compare with him!" Pang Tong replied with a smile. Zhao Feng shook his head, but he was thinking in his mind that if this battle would go to the north in the future, how could he withstand the cold there with Pang Xiaoniao's body.
"Hey hey!" Pang Tong suddenly smiled obscenely, and then asked Zhao Feng, "General, I heard that when he attacked Jiangling, A Liang beat Kui Yue's face with blood?"
"Yes!" Zhao Feng was also quite surprised when he remembered Zhuge Liang's violent walk that day. The so-called rabbit had to bite people when he was anxious. This was probably the situation.
"A Liang was only 13 years old when he came to Jing Xiang, but he was about the same size as fifteen or sixteen years old. There are so many people in Lumen Academy that he has the strongest body. We dare not bully him as an outsider for fear of being beaten by him. Pang Tong said with a smile.
"Huh?" Zhao Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Kong Ming to be so violent. At this time, it was reported that there seemed to be Jiangdong troops stationed in the town in front of him, but the number of people was very small, almost hundreds of people. Zhao Feng ordered to surround and annihilate it quickly.
"Ah!" At this time, in the Jingzhou government office in Xiangyang City, Jingzhou Dianong engaged in Zhuge Liang sneezing. After that, he also rubbed his nose and muttered, "A Ying, do you miss me so soon?" After that, the pen came faster. After a while, he finished the remaining files, and then he was a little relieved. Wearing a cloak, Zhuge Liang walked out of the court. Although it was still snowing in Jiangdong, Jingbei had stopped at this time. There were stars in the sky. Zhuge Liang looked up at the stars all over the sky, but he was looking for those key stars.
"The emperor's star is still dark. It seems that your majesty is really a little bad!" Zhuge Liang checked the emperor star at the first time. Of course, it was still very weak. Next to the emperor star, there is a big star shining and dazzling, so that the emperor star is not very bright and has been covered up a lot. In addition, there are many small stars around this big star.
"Cao's weather is flourishing, I'm afraid it can't be eliminated in a hurry!" Zhuge Liang sighed. Turning around and looking at other stars, I saw that there was also a star shining between Jianghuai, which was more than Cao's original star. It is also surrounded by stars, which is extremely prosperous. Zhuge Liang looked at it and nodded secretly, with a lot of confidence in his heart.
At this moment, several meteors crossed the sky and fell into the land of Jiangdong. Zhuge Liang was shocked. After carefully checking the stars, he pinched his fingers. When he finished, he was already in a cold sweat. Zhuge Liang did not dare to delay. He hurriedly wrote an emergency letter and sent someone to work all night to quickly send it to Pang Tong, who was conquering Jiangdong with the army.
