Lan Tian smiled and said, "The supplies that Li Yi brought are for us. Let me tell you now that this time we are not passively defending, but are going to take the initiative to completely defeat the Soochow army and collect Jiangdong."

"Receive Jiangdong?"

Hao Pu, Mi Fang, and Xi Zhen were taken aback at the same time, and they thought to themselves, just the tens of thousands of soldiers we gathered together?To eliminate the big forces that challenged Wei Guo?Isn't Fujun joking?

Mi Fang swallowed her saliva and asked: "Your Majesty, the three counties only have [-] soldiers, and I don't know how many troops Lu Fan has in his hands..."

Lan Tian looked very relaxed, "According to the information I have, Sun Quan has prepared one hundred thousand soldiers for Lu Fan."

"Ah? If you count the entrapment army, it's only [-]. Can these soldiers really enter Soochow? Then Cao Ren commanded more than [-] troops in Huainan, and he didn't take down Ruxu Shuikou..." Mi Fang had no confidence at all at this time. Wanquan is still in the formation and still has to fight, but with the current lineup, let alone defeating Jiangdong, it is difficult to prevent Lu Fan from attacking.

"Fujun, what's your plan?" Xi Zhen looked at Lantian with doubts on his face. In his impression for so many years, Lantian has always made decisions before acting, and he should not act recklessly this time.

"You guys come with me." After speaking, Lan Tian led everyone to the war room. He sent someone to set up a sand table here in advance, and he took Changsha as the command post for this time.

When he came to the war room, Lan Tian pointed to Linxiang, Jiangxia, and Wuchang and said, "Li Yi's [-] sailors are about to arrive in Linxiang, and they will go to Jiangxia after unloading their supplies. Su Fei can also mobilize [-] sailors. Gan Ning There are more than [-] garrisons in Wuchang, of which we have [-] in the water army alone, plus [-] county soldiers and [-] entrapment troops, the total usable force has reached [-], which should be more than enough to deal with [-] Jiangdong rats, right?"

"Your Majesty didn't send a navy to rescue Jingbei, but instead attacked Jiangdong with all his strength? Will General Guan have any objections? What if something happens in the future..." Hao Pu hesitated to speak.

Lan Tian frowned and replied: "There won't be any changes. This general has been preparing for a long time. If we don't completely defeat Sun Quan, the repeated villain, the Jiangdong rats will hinder him at any time. Besides, Nanyang and Nanxiang are mainly land battles. In addition to blocking the Wei army's water transportation and Using it as an auxiliary transport for the large army does not take advantage of his greatest advantage at all, and our warships have to be used in the Yangtze River."

"Sun Quan sent Lu Xun's main navy to Ruxu, and General Gan commanded [-] naval troops to surprise Chaisang. Maybe they can really accomplish great things." Xi Zhen said to herself.

"Since Sun Quan wanted to launch a sneak attack again, he actually transferred the governor from the front line first. I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen such a stupid strategy." Mi Fang looked contemptuous.

Seeing this, Song Chen sneered: "Where is Sun Quan's stupidity? It's clear that he fell into the government's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain..."

Everyone was stunned, thinking that this advance arrangement really fits with Lan Tian's personality, maybe there is a real chance to enter Jiangdong?The three of Mi Fang became excited.

"Lv Fan knows that I am in Changsha, so he will definitely lead troops to attack. We just wait for work at ease and defend and counterattack. This is easier than directly attacking the city. From Yuzhang to attack Changsha by land, there are only three directions: Ai County, Yichun, and Pingdu, so we Divide the soldiers and horses of the three counties into three divisions."

After Lan Tian finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then solemnly ordered Xi Zhen: "Prefect Xi led the troops of Guiyang County to station in You County to defend against the invading enemies from the direction of Pingdu."

"Wei." Xi Zhen cupped her fists.

Lan Tian then told Hao Pu: "Zi Tai, Lingling County has [-] soldiers and horses, and you lead [-] troops to Liling to defend against the enemy coming from Yichun."

"The last general obeys orders." Hao Pu's voice was majestic.

"Yuanxiong, you lead another Wanlingling County soldier to station in Liuyang to defend against the invading enemy from the direction of Ai County." Lan Tian unexpectedly ordered Wu Ban's third general.

"Wei." Wu Ban nodded and clasped his fists.

"I will use the scouts to keep in touch with you. When I am in place, I will deploy the defense and pay attention to the outer loosening and the inner tightness, so as to leave Jiangdong with the illusion of showing weakness." Lan Tian continued to instruct after assigning the task.

Seeing that she had no role to play, Mi Fang was in a hurry. He, Wu Ban, and Lan Tian belonged to "foreign relatives", and she said that she had worked hard in Changsha for several years without merit, so don't let me be left behind when you make merit.

"Fu Jun, what about me?" Mi Fang was anxious.

Lan Tian explained: "In the early stage of the battle in Changsha County, it will more or less affect the production and life of the people. Fortunately, now that the summer harvest is over and the autumn planting has not begun, Zifang must first send people to appease the people on the border. We have to rely on Changsha for supplies, so you and I will stay in Linxiang to command, and when Lu Fan's main force appears, we will go out to Linxiang to attack them."

"Uh... The last general will change with General Wu? He is a guest from afar, so he should sit behind you. Besides, both prefects Hao and Xi..." Mi Fangxin said don't make things special, Liling, You All the prefects in the county are on the front line, leaving me in the rear to do logistics. Where do I get my military merits?

Lan Tian saw through Mi Fang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Zi Fang, don't worry. The Changsha battlefield is mainly defensive in the early stage. We will not switch to defense until the enemy army defeats Luling Lu Dai's troops and launches a full-scale counterattack." For attack."

"Oh... I will obey orders..." Mi Fang clasped her fists resentfully.

After Lan Tian's deployment in the war room was over, the three prefects and Wu Ban all went out to hand over, ready to lead troops to the designated location immediately, and there were only Lan Tian, ​​Lan Ji, and Song Chen left in the room.

"Zhongling has always had a lot of questions, why didn't he say anything today?" Lan Tian looked at Lan Ji curiously.

Lan Ji cupped his fists and replied: "Before we left, Uncle Gao said that this is the entrance examination for the youth camp, let me follow you, talk less, listen more, watch more, that's why my son is like this."

"Hehe, that's how it is." Lan Tian showed a gratified smile.

8 Chapter Thirty: Ding Feng Meets an Old Acquaintance Again

Seeing some changes in his son, Lan Tian was very happy from the bottom of his heart. He was most worried about Lan Ji. Numerous stories told Lan Tian that "a quick knife is easy to break". He has been polishing Lan Ji's heart these years.

Huben Martial Arts Hall let the juvenile camp come out for assessment, and Guangzhou Medical College also transferred hundreds of students and dozens of doctors to go north. Regardless of whether Cao Pi can use Sun Quan's poisonous tricks, the battlefield has never been less dependent on doctors, and the characteristics of Lantian Just plan ahead.

"In this battle against Wu, the tens of thousands of county soldiers are just helping out, and the main breakthrough point is still in the formation. Should we send you to Guiyang now? The battle in Boyang may not have started yet." Lan Tian deliberately joked.

"Hey, I listened to Uncle Gao, I will definitely not suffer from following you..." Lan Ji smiled mysteriously.

Song Chen laughed in his heart when he heard it, and said that General Gao really understood Mr. Changsha, there are no brave generals here, and Lan Er's exaggerated martial arts, following Mr. is indispensable for the opportunity to fight, so he went to Guiyang to join the army, Lan Yuan may not Willing to let the brothers take risks.

After Lan Tian dealt with the aftermath of cochinism, he kept in touch with Hu Ke and set up a situation for Jiang Dong to provoke a war. It was much easier to actively set up schemes than to be beaten passively.

Dealing with Jiangdong is different from dealing with the Jiaozhi family. The political structure of Jiaozhou is relatively simple under the rule of Lantian. Lantian also needs this stable rear as the basis. Can conquer opponents through war and killing, but Lan Tian will not be as direct as Sun Ce.

Defeating the Huaisi Group that 'invaded' Jiangdong may not make the Jiangdong gentry feel ashamed, so Lantian's opponent was not the Jiangdong gentry from the beginning, but the Sun family and Huaisi faction entrenched above Jiangdong.

Sun Quan was desperate and still wanted to backstab. In addition to the spirit of backstabbing in his bones, he was also mainly inspired by Lan Tian's blindfold.

The battle in Jingbei is known all over the world. After the rebel army returned to Guangzhou from Jiaozhi, Lantian secretly ordered the rebel army to board the ship with full armor, and threatened to go north to Xiangfan to help Guan Yu fight Cao. Melons and fruits are given away.

The fleet docked at Quanling Wharf and dropped packages at night, and the Jiaozhou transport ship that had been waiting there was replaced. In Linxiang, Dongting and other places, they finally took advantage of Jiangling to detour around the Hanshui River, and sent doctors from Guangzhou Medical College, military supplies and other supplies to Xiangyang.

The transport team was like "crossing the river in white clothes", and in the eyes of the passing merchant ships, it was the army that fell into the army. The news of the army going north was then sent to various parts of Jiangdong by land and water.

All the members of the real army disembarked at Quanling. They pushed the modified tiger-shooting carts and disarmed them on foot. According to the route that Lantian and Gan Ning took from Guiyang to Lingling, they went southward along the deep water, and then walked along Jiuyi Mountain. The southern foot enters the territory of Guiyang.

Back then when Lan Tian went to Linwu from Quanling for inspection, he took a few kids along once. Lan Yuan and Gao Ling still remembered the scene of Gan Ning killing the tiger.

Lan Yuan stationed the main force of the fallen army in Linwu, but went to Chen County to guard Guiyang for Xi Zhen. All this was hidden from the spies in Luling.

Going out of Weipu Pass through Guiyang, the road to attack Guangzhou is short and wide, and the grain can only be transported through this road. Lantian calculates that Lu Dai will divide his troops into two groups, and the main force from Luling will go to Guiyang to cover the supply team together. Going south, the other route led a small number of troops, carried rations out of Longchuan, and plundered the supplies of the people along the way, and finally the two armies returned to the city of Guangzhou.

Lantian placed the entrapment army in Guiyang for the purpose of defeating the main force of Luling Lu Dai, and the direction of Longchuan also left a surprise for the opponent. Guangzhou is indeed weak at the moment, but with General Pingnan Gao Shun in charge, it is not very easy for Lantian to go out Worry.

This is the first time for Lan Yuan to fight independently. Neither Lan Tian nor Gao Shun had any guidance before the battle, so it can be regarded as a major assessment for him.

After Lan Yuan arrived in Guiyang, he immediately asked Chu Qing to release the reconnaissance battalion. Intelligence was the highest priority in the war. He heard Lan Tian and Gao Shun mention this point repeatedly, and it was already a habitual order at this time.

Afterwards, Lan Yuan divided the small army into three divisions. Among them, the Qiangnu Battalion with thousands of soldiers was stationed at Suipu Pass. He did not plan to send a soldier from Jiangdong to the south. At that time, Lan Yuan led [-] main forces to deploy in Linwu.

Linwu is located in a valley between two mountains from Weipuguan and Zhenyang, and the fallen soldiers were wearing heavy armor and could not pursue them from behind. However, Linwu County has the transport ships left by Gan Ning, and the transport ships are the main transport ships between the counties. The means of transportation, after Lanyuan arrived in Guiyang, were all conscripted for military use, Li Yang, the owner of Xindeng Village, took the initiative to arrange repairs for the farmer, and everything was under intensive preparation.

In the first ten days of July, Lu Dai ordered Ding Feng, Dai Liang, and Chen Shi to lead [-] troops out of the southern field to contain Xizhen's defenders in Guiyang, capture Suipu Pass as quickly as possible, and establish a grain road to Guangzhou. Dai and He Qi made a detour to Longchuan.

Ding Feng was familiar with Guiyang Road twice, so he was appointed as the vanguard by Lu Dai before departure, Dai Liang led his troops as the chief general followed closely behind, and Chen Shizhe escorted the grain team to go at the end.

Going around from the western end of Dayuling, the main force of Luling came to the front of Qujiang, an important town in the south of Guiyang, where Ding Feng was blocked by Lanyuan and returned.

Dai Liang was thinking about whether to attack the city, while Ding Feng returned to his horse and suggested a detour to the other side.

General Dai Liang asked puzzledly, "Excuse me, how many troops can there be in this small and remote county? Even if Xi Zhen comes personally, why would you be afraid? Cheng Yuan (Ding Feng) don't forget that we have [-] troops."

Ding Feng clasped his fists and explained: "General Dai should have participated in the Chai Sang Collegiality Conference. The Marquis of Nanchang in the four counties of Jingnan will make arrangements. Our task is to invade Guangzhou and control Jiaozhou. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to fight if we see the city? Besides, the terrain of Qujiang is relatively opposite. It is open, and it is best not to use swords if you can go around, and there is General Chen guarding the grain team in the rear, so you don't have to worry about the defenders attacking you."

"But that will slow down the marching speed of the army..." Dai Liang frowned.

Ding Feng replied: "After passing the Qujiang River, there are still Zhenyang and Supu Pass to the south. It will not be too late for us to take the Supu Pass and then go back to Qujiang. The terrain of the Supu Pass must be easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Xi Zhen knows We are prepared with intention, and it will be difficult to surprise Guangzhou."

"Soldiers are expensive, and Cheng Yuan's words are true. When General Ziheng (Lv Fan) attacked Guiyang from the South China Sea, he was blocked at Suipu Pass for a long time..." After Dai Liang nodded in affirmation, he ordered the whole army to stick to the east At the foot of the mountain, he detoured around Qujiang, and was not stopped by the Qujiang defenders during the process.

Twenty miles south of Qujiang, the army was stationed by the river to rest and gather. When Chen Shi escorted the grain team to catch up, Ding Feng's forward sentry scouts were encountered by bandits five miles to the south. The sentinel was killed on the spot.

The bandit gang was still Ding Feng's 'old acquaintance' Wang Jin. Ding Feng, who was resting by the roadside, was furious when he heard the words, so he cupped his fists and asked Dai Liang: "This beast has a big enmity with the last general, please allow me to go ahead , and also open the way for the army."

Chapter 831 It's a disaster

Seeing that Ding Feng was a bit superior, Dai Liang quickly told him: "I don't know the relationship between Cheng Yuan and the bandit chieftain, but our trip is related to the big plan to seize Jiaozhou, so we can't be easily affected by a group of bandits. In the morning, you also suggested The priority is to seize the Suipu Pass, so why do you contradict your words and deeds now?"

"General Dai is right, being more lenient towards oneself and stricter than others is not what a good general would do..." Chen Shi then expressed his dissatisfaction. He escorted the food team to walk slowly at the end, and it took two hours longer to detour around Qujiang , his part just walked and scolded.

Ding Feng clasped his fists and explained: "The two generals are not the last generals to be lenient and discipline others. In fact, the main force of Guiyang is all in the north of Qujiang, and Zhenyang is a small county behind. Little, the last general actually wants to go one step ahead and open the way for the army..."

"Hahaha, so that's the case, Cheng Yuan quickly chases after him, don't let Wang Jin run away." Dai Liang waved his hand with a smile.

"Wei." Ding Feng clasped his fists and mounted his horse immediately.

The sound of horseshoes resounded, and Chen Shi looked to the south and asked suspiciously: "General, why did you agree? This guy made it clear that we were in the rear, and ran to the front to earn military merit..."

Dai Liang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "How much military merit can we gain by taking Zhenyang and Supu? It's time to earn military merit when we arrive in Guangzhou. Ding Feng is just a small lieutenant. How to distribute his military merit is up to us." Forget it? I heard that this person is very brave in battle, and he can often kill generals and capture the flag, so it's okay to let him go all out..."

"The general is wise." Chen Shi suddenly realized.

Dai Liang stroked his beard and sighed: "From a humble background, he can only be brave and ruthless. In fact, I have some sympathy for him, but this is the rule in the army."

"Before he came out from Jianye, did King Wu promise the general..." Chen Shi asked cautiously.

Dai Liang looked at the other party meaningfully. Chen Shi's ability to say this meant that he had Sun Quan's promise, so he smiled and asked, "Of course, what important position will General Chen hold in Jiaozhou?"

"Uh... Prefect of Jiaozhi, General, are you..." Chen Shi continued to ask.

"Jiaozhou Inspector." Dai Liang answered very briefly.

Chen Shi hurriedly saluted after hearing this: "Oh, it's such a coincidence that the last general will still be under the envoy's command from now on, and I hope the general will support you a lot..."

"Hey, let's talk about taking down Jiaozhou. I heard that Jiaozhi is very rich. Your Majesty thinks highly of you." Dai Liang said meaningfully.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will inevitably go to your house to disturb you..." Chen Shi began to express his loyalty to Dai Liang.

Dai Liang nodded with a smile, he was very satisfied with Chen Shi's answer.

After resting for half an hour, Dai Liang ordered the army to continue to set off, and arrived in the middle of Qujiang and Zhenyang at dusk, and then ordered the army to set up camp on the road.

At night, Ding Feng sent scouts back to contact him, saying that he was still chasing the bandits, and that he might stay outside Zhenyang City at night. If the siege goes well in the morning, he will take Zhenyang, and if it doesn't go well, he will divide his troops to take Weipu Pass.

Dai Liang was quite satisfied with Ding Feng's report, and he said to Chen Shi in the big tent: "Ding Chengyuan is a man of great vigor and resoluteness, we just take advantage of his momentum, maybe we can reach Guangzhou first."

"Passing through Supu Yimapingchuan, General Lu and General He may still be in the mountains at this time. It seems that we will be able to capture Guangzhou City this way. This military exploit is too great." Chen Shi looked excited.

"Lu and He are the king's favorite generals, we can't take all of this military exploits." Dai Liangxin said that people must be sophisticated, otherwise their future promotions will be easily hindered.

"Well, it's all up to the envoy to decide." Chen Shi continued to compliment.

Dai Liang replied with a smile: "It seems that the governor of Jiaozhou, Dai still has great hopes."

"Not only is it huge, but it will become a fact soon." Chen Shi's face almost died of laughter.

At night, the south wind was blowing, and the wind in the valley was mixed with a hint of coolness. The vegetation on the hillside was rich, and there were many mosquitoes and insects by the river. The soldiers could only hide in the tents to rest, and closed the curtains of the big tents. Only a few soldiers remained in the camp to guard.

It was late at night after catching the mosquitoes in the tent, but it took a long time for the soldiers to fall asleep, because the river flooded in summer, and the sound of the surging water next to the camp was continuous, forming a harmony with the screaming insects in the mountain stream.

Dai Liang woke up in a daze, and just vaguely heard the sound of the water getting louder, so he put on his clothes and went out to patrol the camp, and saw the patrolling soldiers sitting together in groups, with their heads and bodies wrapped tightly in clothes.

Is this worth it?In case Xi Zhen comes to sneak attack, what can you find?

"Get up for me, you're crooked, what's the matter?" Dai Liang yelled loudly, not only waking up the patrolling soldiers, but also the soldiers from the nearby tents sticking their heads out one after another.

It was already the middle of the night, when people were most tired. After being scolded and woke up, the patrol soldiers all bowed their heads and stood where they were.

Dai Liang tossed and tossed for a long time in the middle of the night to patrol the camp, and the soldiers had to go through the tormenting "concerto" again to fall asleep again. Most of them did not fall into a deep sleep until dawn.

The light of the morning sun shone into the valley, and none of them, including Dai Liang, woke up immediately. Those soldiers who were in charge of guarding last night fell to the ground and fell asleep when it was time for the changing of the guard, and the changing of the guard was later than expected. .

The soldiers who were changing guards were standing there with sleepy eyes. Suddenly, a strong light reflected into the camp, and a golden light array was approaching from the north. At this time, someone shouted a sound like a death knell.

"Enemy attack."

Lan Yuan led the army to launch an attack. Dai Liang camped in a long and narrow valley last night. There was a big river on the left and high mountains on the right. He only used some heavy vehicles to block the road. He didn't even prepare for the regular refusal of horses and antlers. , so no one can stop the army.

The sound of fighting resounded through the valley, and those Jiangdong soldiers who hadn't put on their clothes frantically fled to the south like cattle and sheep. There were also many people transporting food along the way, and the long and narrow camp was in chaos for a while.

"When did Xi Zhen come?" Dai Liang asked in panic.

Chen Shi was in charge of the rear of the palace. After the soldiers in the battalion reported the situation to him, he ran to the central army to see Dai Liang, "General, it seems that the army behind is not Xi Zhen's army..."

"Huh?" Dai Liang frowned.

"They are well-armored, and they act like metal beasts. They are clearly the legendary fallen army..." Chen Shi cried with a sad face.

"How come? Didn't the entrapment army go to Jingbei?" Dai Liang was dumbfounded.

"I don't know. Could it be that the information was wrong? What should we do now?" Chen Shi panicked.

Dai Liang thought for a while and said: "General Chen led his troops to block the incoming army. I will go ahead to open the passage. Ding Feng should have already captured Zhenyang. We are not opponents of the army in the wild, and we must rely on the city to fight."

"Ah? What about the end..."

Chen Shi still wanted to say something, but Dai Liang's face suddenly changed, and he sternly reprimanded: "Execute the military order."

"Wei." Chen Shi was about to cry because of grievances, isn't the Queen just going to die at this time?

Dai Liang couldn't care so much at this time, he personally brought him a horse, and he rushed south without looking back, ignoring the soldiers and civilians he knocked down on the way.

"Bah." Chen Shi spat a ball of saliva.
