Three Kingdoms: I choose to assist Sun Jian

Page 229

The less people know, the safer Cai Mao will be!

But looking at Liu Ye's curious appearance, Chen Duan still warned:

"I don't think Brother Ziyang should ask about this matter. This is a secret game laid by the military adviser a few months ago."

"Now it's not a calculation, but the dark chess is in effect!"

"Since the military adviser doesn't say anything, there must be a reason!"

"Dark chess?"

"months ago?"

Hearing this, Liu Ye was taken aback for a moment.

What do these months mean?

Apparently, before he came, not after.

After all, as one of his advisers, since Sun Jian could appoint him, he would not hide many things from him.

But the dark chess was laid out a few months ago, so doesn't that mean that this move was already laid out before Bai Liming's envoy?

Good guy!

No wonder their journey has been so smooth!

It has been almost half a year since the overall situation of co-authoring the military division!

If this doesn't go well, then there is a ghost!

No wonder Sun Jian had been whispering to Bai Liming all day long, how many clever moves they had made before they knew it!

Thinking of this, Liu Ye not only secretly sighed.

Fortunately, he claims to be good at strategy, but in order to have such an interlocking and continuous layout, he must have a strong predictive ability!

Sure enough, good fighters have no great achievements. Obviously, their military advisers belong to this kind of people.

It went well because of painstaking efforts, not because of coincidence.

It seems that working under such a military adviser requires a lot of hard work to get credit for it!

But just as Liu Ye sighed secretly, he saw that Fang Dianwei and other generals were already waiting outside the city.

As soon as he saw Sun Jian and the others, he bowed his hands and said:

"I have seen the lord and the military advisor!"

As everyone bowed down, Sun Jian and Bai Liming got off their horses one after another and came forward to greet them.

After Gan Ning responded with a few words, he excitedly said to Sun Jian:

"My lord, we're done!"

"This Jiangling city is probably Liu Biao's lair, and there are nearly 80 shi of grain and grass in it!"

"Except for the newly harvested [-] stones, the rest are old grains!"

"80 million stone?"

Listening to Gan Ning's words, Sun Jian, Liu Ye and others behind him were all dumbfounded.

What is the concept of 80 stone?

That is enough to feed a hundred thousand troops for seven or eight months!

For Sun Jianjun who is currently short of food, it can be regarded as a rain from the sky!

And Bai Liming laughed and said:

"This land of Jingzhou has not suffered many wars in the first place, and this Jiangling is an important town in Jingzhou, so it is impossible not to pile up grain and grass."

As he spoke, he smiled at Gan Ning:

"If I'm not wrong, there should be more than food and grass in the city, and other weapons, gold and silver are probably indispensable!"

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the military division!"

Gan Ning laughed and said:

"In addition to food and grass, there are about tens of thousands of sets of armor in the city, [-] gold, hundreds of boxes of five baht coins, and perhaps [-] catties of iron!"

"There are also a lot of other baggage!"

"This time, Cai Mao left in a hurry and didn't take anything with him!"

"It's cheaper than our army!"

"Hahahaha, Cai Mao really knows how to behave!"

Sun Jian listened, smiled at Bai Liming with great interest and said:

"This is another great contribution to Ruo Zhong!"

Bai Liming laughed and said:

"It's just the generosity of others, what kind of credit is it!"

But even though he said so, he also felt that Cai Mao did a good job in this.

At least he managed to hand over all the favorable conditions to them!

In this way, even if he has stains in the future, he can continue to be an official with this credit.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice:

"Now that our army's supplies and cities have stopped, our army's rear army can also keep up!"

"Yes!"

Sun Jian said in a deep voice:

"I just don't know how the rear army is assembled!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ye stepped forward and said:

"Report to the lord, report to the military division, our army's back army has now assembled 7 people, except for the garrison in the direction of Wu County, which is farther away, basically all of them have arrived!"

"General Zu Mao has sent word that he can leave at any time!"

Listening to Liu Ye's words, Sun Jian stroked his beard secretly.

After all, more than half a month has passed since they started to assemble, and the troops that should arrive have arrived!

Thinking, he looked at Baili Ming and said:

"According to the opinion of the military division?"

Bai Liming thought for a while, then smiled and said:

"All can march!"

He turned around and smiled at Gan Ning:

"Xingba, you've finished the battle, let me ask you, if you return now, how long will it take to pick up our army?"

Gan Ning heard the words, hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"Reporting to the military commander, our army is currently upstream. If we go down the river and advance at full speed, we can arrive within two days!"

"As for when we come back, it depends on the wind speed!"

"Right now, the enemy is deploying Jiangsuo in Jiangxia. Gongjin has already sent people to intercept it. Overall, it should not exceed eight days!"

"Eight days?"

Hearing this, Sun Jian looked at Bailiming and said:

"Will it be a little late!"

"not late!"

Baili Ming laughed and said:

"If it's eight days, we won't gather in Jiangling anymore!"

"Xingba simply sent all our reinforcements to the shore of Dangyang, and our army assembled in Dangyang!"

"Dangyang gather?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye and Qin Song and Chen Duan were both shocked and said:

"What does the military division mean, let's go directly north to join the army?"

"Isn't this too hasty!"

"will not!"

Baili Ming laughed and said:

"Everyone, we have to consider not only Liu Biao's reaction, but also Cao Jun's reaction!"

"Now our army's large ships are mainly used for transportation, and only a small amount of water troops can stop Jingzhou's reinforcements!"

"Thus, our main enemy now is no longer the reinforcements from Jingzhou!"

"It's Cao Jun who came to help from the north. Let's take this opportunity to go north and not give the other party a chance to think!"

Cao Jun's reaction!

Listening to Bai Liming's explanation, Liu Ye and others were immediately speechless.

When they were still immersed in the joy of obtaining Jiangling, the military division's thinking had already jumped to Cao Jun's side!

But after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that they should be prepared in this way!

After all, they now have soldiers, food, and a city!

Jiangling is so easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be temporarily defended with only ten thousand people.

Thinking of this, Liu Ye cupped his hands and said:

"Master, there is one more thing!"

"Right now, I'm afraid we can't leave Jiangling!"

"Because we broke into South County, then Liu Biao will not be unresponsive, although the direction of South Four County may be too far away, and we will not receive news for the time being!"

"But there are still enemy troops on Jiang Xia's side!"

"Now our army's navy is mainly used for transportation. I'm afraid the enemy in this area needs to think about it!"

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard an urgent cry from afar:

"Report!"

"Our army's naval sentry ship urgently reported that a large number of enemy troops have crossed the Yangtze River and are attacking our army's Jiangling!"

Hearing this, Liu Ye and the others were all shocked.

And Sun Jian stroked his beard with a smile and said:

"Sure enough, Ruo Zhong expected!"

"The enemy army is coming!"

Not as the military division expected?

Liu Ye and the others were taken aback when they heard this.

Cooperating with the enemy's movements are all under the control of the military division?

Facing Sun Jian's words and everyone's astonishment, Bai Liming said to Gan Ning:

"Xingba, you go first!"

"Just take our army to Jiangling as ordered!"

"After our army defeats this enemy army, we can come to meet up!"

Hearing this, Gan Ning hastily cupped his hands and said:
