Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

When he woke up, Guo Shao found that the surroundings were bright, and he didn't know the time. ￥f Vertex novel, morning exercises in the army are very early, apparently the time has passed, even the sound of drums and horns didn't wake him up, and he has fallen asleep until now.

He hurriedly sat up, and when he turned his head to look, Zhou Xian was still lying beside him. She was also awakened by Guo Shao, looked at him lazily and tiredly, and realized something after a while, her face was full of shame.

"I have to go see the soldiers immediately." Guo Shao patted his forehead and said, "This is in the barracks. What a mistake, I have slept until now."

He hurriedly got up and got dressed, and finally calmed down after a while of fuss. He turned around and said kindly to Zhou Xian, "Don't think wildly, just stay put, I have a way to deal with everything. Now I have to go to the main tent of the Chinese army first, and leave first."

"Wait." Zhou Xian called softly, "Come here."

Then she touched a piece of silk handkerchief from the side of the pillow, turned her head to see a cup of cold tea in the iron cup next to it, and dipped the silk handkerchief in the water lightly, and when Guo Shao walked in front of her, she sat up and wiped off a rouge lip mark on Guo Shao's neck with a shy face. When Guo Shao saw the red marks rubbed on the silk handkerchief, his heart was full of beauty.

"Then I'll go first." When Guo Shao spoke again, his tone was more gentle.

He hadn't washed up yet, and as soon as he got out of the tent, he saw a civil servant pacing outside with his hands behind his back. He was looking up at the light snow floating in the sky. There were also little snowflakes on the cloth robe.

"Wang Shijun." Guo Shao called out, slightly surprised, "I heard that you came today, but I didn't expect Wang Shijun to be so early."

Wang Pu turned around and calmly bowed to Guo Shao. So on the snow, an old man and a strong man bowed to each other in style. Only then did Wang Pu say bluntly: "The old man left before dawn, so he arrived early. There is something wrong..." He paused, "Let's find a place to talk."

"Go to the big tent of the Chinese army." Guo Shaodao, walking side by side with Wang Pu, asked again, "How long has Wang Shijun been waiting?"

Wang Pu said: "Just arrived for a while."

The two walked into the empty tent of the Chinese army, and Wang Pu sat down and said, "Wankou came to report, Hukou Zhu Lingyun's army has been dispatched, and is approaching Wankou."

Hearing this, Guo Shao's originally relaxed mood immediately tightened up. He immediately picked up the ruler from the table and measured it on the drawing on the wooden board next to him. "Zhu Lingyun faltered in the early stage, procrastinating and standing still. Now that Jiangzhou (Jiujiang) is besieged by our army and the road ahead is in danger, why did he suddenly become flexible?"

Wang Pudao: "According to the report from Wankou, it is likely that Chen Qiao, the assistant governor of the Guangzheng Yuan of Jiangning Prefecture, rushed to Nandu (Nanchang), met the seriously ill Li Jing, and obtained the military power to control the troops in Nandu and other places."

"Chen Qiao..." Guo Shao turned around and said, "Let's talk inside. Lu Chengyong, call General Li, General Shi, and Mr. Zuo."

"Here." Lu Chengyong answered with cupped fists at the door.

Because some of Guo Shao's intuitive drawings of characters, terrain, and deployment were placed in the "room" behind the big tent, the discussion came here instead. Not long after, Li Chuyun and others came in one after another, and Wang Pu told them the military situation again.

"The warships of the navy in Wankou are unbearable, and the soldiers and horses are also weak. If the main force of the Hukou army of the Southern Tang Dynasty is dispatched, Wankou will be difficult to stop; further along the river to the east, Chizhou still has a part of our navy, which is also weak and can only serve as an early warning. If the Southern Tang army moves down the river, if it is faster, it will threaten our navy and ferry in quarrying." Guo Shao briefly described.

Hukou, Wankou, Chizhou Shuizhai, and Caishi are all place names along the Yangtze River, from west to east.

Li Chuyun also said: "The navy of the Southern Tang Kingdom in Jingkou (Zhenjiang) is also very strong. If deployed properly, we can seize the opportunity of the Hukou navy going east; our quarrying navy will face a situation where we will be flanked by front and back and outnumbered. Southern Tang military affairs have always focused on the navy, and the combat power will not be weaker than that of the Great Zhou Army Navy... Or, when we originally planned to launch the Jingkou water war in the near future, we could not make a quick decision; .We will also face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides."

Guo Shao estimated the distance of each section on the map, and walked back and forth in front of the bench for two steps, "Chen Qiao... I didn't expect to come out like this at a critical moment."

Li Chuyun looked back outside the tent, "The weather is cold these days, and it's still snowing, so it's not suitable to send troops."

"Fortunately, the Dajiang (Yangtze River) will not freeze." Guo Shao pondered.

The original battle plan planned by the Zhou army center was to join forces with the Hantong navy on the Caoqu near Guazhoudu to attack the enemy at Jingkou on both sides. The purpose of the battle is to eliminate the surface forces of the Southern Tang Army on the Eastern Front and completely control the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. This was a tough battle, because the Han Tong Department was blocked in the canal and could not enter the river; in the early stage, Guo Shao used various feints, intimidation, and set off smoke|fog bombs, which made the Southern Tang Kingdom mistakenly think that the capital was about to be threatened in the near future.

The Hukou army went down the river, which added more variables to the battle; because the Zhou army's heavy troops were placed to the east, and the strength of Li Chuyun's navy was limited, the navy transferred by Han Tong from Tokyo could not get through. In this way, the war of words in Beijing has the hidden danger of being attacked by the enemy.

Wang Pu said: "Chen Qiao is a civil servant and is not familiar with military affairs. It is impossible for him to have generals to follow. The old man thinks that even if he is a virtuous minister, it is difficult for him to arrange this battle by himself. He can see Li Jing who is seriously ill because of his previous relationship."

Guo Shaodao: "What Wang Shijun said is very true. I thought so just now. After all, Chen Qiao is a civil servant and has never led troops before. Can't he be able to handle such a large front with ease for the first time?"

Wang Pudao: "Zhu Lingyun is also a senior general. He was originally the governor of Zhennan. According to the situation of the Southern Tang Kingdom, it may be difficult to easily seize his military power. Therefore, this old man boldly guessed that Chen Qiao was only urging and putting pressure on him. Zhu Lingyun has the final say on how to fight this battle."

Guo Shao turned around and took another look at the names pasted on the wooden board. Said: "Chen Qiao left Jiangning City, so Liu Cheng's military power in the east of the Southern Tang Kingdom should be more stable; Chen Qiao is probably the only one who dares to criticize Liu Cheng. Liu Cheng is an idiot, staying in Jingkou is beneficial to our army."

His eyes swept over Shi Yanchao and others, but they didn't express their opinions. Shi Yanchao was not very interested in water warfare, and Li Chuyun waited for Guo Shao's attitude.

Guo Shao and Wang Pu looked at each other, and Wang Pu nodded solemnly: "The old man and General Guo should have the same idea, and start the war of words in Beijing as usual, but now we have to be quick."

"Send an order to Wankou first, and use more bluff on the riverside to intimidate the Southern Tang army. Do your best to support the enemy!" Guo Shao said immediately, "Send a letter to Luo Yanhuan in Chizhou, and find a way to stop the delay. It will be one day longer to win the Jingkou water war."
