Chapter 454: The danger of the army being overthrown
This time, it was only less than ten days, and it had already evacuated from Linxiang City safely, only one or two days away from Baqiu. This cannot be considered as It was no longer quick, and the generals also tried their best.
In fact, if the Yangzhou navy had not come so quickly, Kuai Yue would have to praise the generals for their efforts.
But now that the retreat has been cut off, and it is only a few days away, Kuai Yue taught them this lesson, and the generals really couldn't complain.
For a moment, silence fell in the big tent.
Everyone was thinking about the current situation, and their faces were gloomy.
After a moment, Wen Pin spoke first: "Grandmaster, Governor, the Yangzhou fleet has a scale of 10,000 people, and they are all large ships. Our navy is only 5,000, and the ships are all small boats. Even if you want to add more people, you are powerless."
The soldiers of Jingzhou are very familiar with water and are good at boat racing. Even in the army, a large part of them can be temporarily transferred to the water army. Even if they cannot do so, they can participate in jumping. Help fight.
But Cai Mao left too few ships, and they were all small boats, so it was difficult to rely on the tactics of the sea of people.
The eyes of everyone were focused on Wen Pin. In the Jingzhou army, Wen Pin has always been known for his image of both civil and military.
It is no exaggeration to say that apart from the two relatives, Liu Pan and Liu Wu, Wen Pin is the most trusted relative general of the foreign surname that Liu Biao trusts, and is the future Huang Zu he carefully cultivated.
So, although Wen Pin said nonsense, not only did everyone not take it seriously, but they all looked at him.
Sure enough, Wen Pin continued: "Grandmaster, Governor, since the navy cannot retreat, our army is destined to be unable to cross the river. For the sake of the present, we must find the army. A way out."
Kuai Yue suddenly realized that he understood what Wen Pin wanted to say first.
Just, he was also thinking about how to guide the generals.
So, Kuai Yue immediately supported the actor and said, "Oh, this is very good, but I don't know what detailed strategy General Wen has?"
Wen Pin felt Kuai Yue's encouragement from his words, and immediately stood up and walked to Kuai. In front of the big map behind Yue, he pointed to the map and explained: "Now that we are waiting in Jiangnan, it is impossible to return to Jiangbei. Since this is the case, it is better to retreat to the south of Dongting Lake, and then take the detour north, pass through the Tang Dynasty, and take the road to the weak. Ling, control the Public Security and Lexiang, and then find an opportunity to cross the river. "
What Wen Pin said is to approach Jiangling from Jiangnan through the land corridor, and then control the Chanling, Public Security, Lexiang and other bases Later, they smuggled across the Yangtze River in batches and entered Jiangling City. Even if they could not enter Jiangling, at least there were strongholds near Chanling that could be temporarily defended so as not to completely collapse.
But if this plan is to be implemented, the problem is quite big.
The previous question is fine, but the difficulty lies in the next question.
The army is at a distance of 40 miles south of Baqiu. If it diverts from here to Chanling County, it will take ten to fifteen days to march. This is because this area is full of Dongting Lake Plain, and the roads are easy to walk on.
But no matter how easy it is to walk, it is still by land and is far from comparable to water.
If you start from Baqiu and walk the Yangtze River waterway, you will only take four or five days to reach the foot of Jiangling City.
In this way, if we want to achieve the second problem, it will inevitably allow the navy to break through the blockade of the Yangzhou navy and go to Jiangling alone. Otherwise, you can only abandon the boat and land on the shore, but if all the boats are abandoned, how can you cross the river then?
Jiangling does have naval troops, but it is just naval troops.
The entire Jiangling City had no more than one thousand naval troops, and there were only more than a hundred warships of all sizes. They were purely early warning fleets, and they were still defending against Yizhou.
The Yangzhou fleet can block Baqiu at present, and it is likely that it can block Chanling in the future.
So, Wenpin only pointed out that there is such a way to choose, but did not force everyone to choose this.
After that's it, there is indeed only this path at the moment. Staying in Baqiu will only lead to greater danger. Secondly, if someone can solve the subsequent problem, wouldn’t he, the proposer, have made great contributions?
After Wen Pin finished speaking, everyone in the tent fell into deep thought.
Although they think this strategy is not a clever plan, they all admit that it is one of the few feasible strategies at present.
Baqiu is a place of death and cannot be left for a long time.
Don't forget that there are more than 20,000 Jingnan Army behind it.
These more than 20,000 Jingnan Army cannot catch the eye of Jingbei Army on weekdays. Liu Pan, Liu Hu, Wen Pin, Huang Zhong and even Han Xi all have confidence in leading the troops to defeat the opponent.
But the situation is different now. First, there is another Sun Ce and Sun Bofu on the opposite side. Under his command, Jingnan Army's combat power has been greatly improved. Secondly, the more powerful Yangzhou army is coming.
Even if these 20,000 people are only able to fight for the Yangzhou army, it is unbearable for the Jingbei army.
Besides, from the strategic perspective, the Jingbei Army has been trapped in the north-south attacks between the Jingnan Army and the Yangzhou Army.
Don't underestimate this. Before the Battle of Zhuge Liang in the Lucheng City in the middle of the Three Kingdoms, there was never a case in history where he defeated Sima Yi after being successfully crossed by the enemy's two breadwinners.
This shows the danger and despair of the strategic situation of the Jingbei crusade army at this time.
If Wen Pin's suggestion is adopted, although the Jingbei Army still cannot cross the Yangtze River, it can at least get rid of the current unfavorable situation. As long as it can successfully arrive at Chanling, there will be hope of sticking to the waiting for assistance.
Of course, whether there will be reinforcements is another matter. "What do you guys think?"
Kuai Yue's eyes flashed across the generals, and while asking, he observed the expressions of the people.
The Jingbei Army is in danger now. Although all the people here are Jingzhou's generals, Kuai Yue still dares not relax. If someone wants to sell his owners for honor, it is the best time now.
When Kuai Yue’s inquiry, Huang Zhong was the first to stand up to support Wen Pin.
In real history, Huang Zhong’s stage is not as scraps as in the Romance, and talent cannot be revealed.
In fact, after Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, Huang Zhong was already a lieutenant. At this time, the lieutenant was extremely valuable. At the same time, Yu Jin, who was under Cao Cao, had only one hundred people. Bo, Lejin is just a village chief.
Not to mention that Huang Zhong was also an old lieutenant who was very senior and close. In the Battle of Guandu, he was promoted to the General of the Central Army by Liu Biao, and he was definitely a direct descendant of the Liu family.
Wang Zhong is not only a confidant whom Liu Biao personally discovered and promoted from the middle level, and also had a very good relationship with Liu Pan.
The two have always been used by Liu Biao. Liu Pan is the main general and Huang Zhong is the deputy. The cooperation effect is quite good. Later, Liu Pan invaded Yuzhang, and Huang Zhong fought under his command and attacked for a while. Hua Xin felt very uncomfortable.
If Sun Ce hadn't directly promoted Taishi Ci to Yuzhang to stand alone, Liu Pan's performance would undoubtedly be even more eye-catching.
It was just one emperor and another minister. Later, Kuai Yue, Han Song, Cai Mao and others took Liu Cong and surrendered Jingzhou. Wenpin was appreciated by Cao Cao and became a confidant, while Huang Zhong failed to get Cao Cao's eye and was sent to Linxiang, Changsha to serve as the commander of Changsha. Later, after the Red Cliff, Huang Zhong surrendered to Liu Bei in Jingnan and was appointed as the chief general by Liu Bei, who was eager to seek talent.
Huang Zhong's status was still quite high among the generals of Jingzhou at this time. Putting aside the relatives, his status was second only to Wen Pin, and he was half a level higher than Han Xi and others. "Grandmaster, governor, if you want to break it, you will break it."
Huang Zhong persuaded sincerely: "General Wen's plan is the only feasible strategy at the moment. If you delay it again, you will be delayed again. , Once the Linxiang Jingnan Army chased us, our army may immediately be in a dilemma."
Huang Zhong was quite polite. If he really reached that point, he would be in a dilemma. It was clear that he was about to destroy.
Kuai Yue nodded. He had no objection to Huang Zhong and recognized Huang Zhong's military talent. As for the other party, Liu Biao's direct descendant, he was not remembered by Kuai Yue at least at this moment. .
The whole army was almost wiped out, and Kuai Yue could not have any thoughts on his mind.
Huang Zhong stood up to support Wen Pin, which immediately aroused more intense discussion among the generals.
Liu Hu couldn't help but frown and said, "What should I do if the navy army?"
As mentioned earlier, to cross the river, there must be a ship. Now the army is going to go to Chanling, and the navy wants to go with it, either abandon the ship and land on the shore, or break through Zhou Tai and the others' blockade.
So, whether it is Wenpin, Huang Zhong, or even Kuai Yue, they are actually ready to give up the ship.
But Liu Hu couldn't bear to let it go.
The navy troops left by Cai Mao are now all Liu Hutong. The elite long-haired team under his command are elite special forces in water battles. In addition, the fleet left by Cai Mao naturally greatly strengthened him strength.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
But now that his butt is not even hot, he is about to give up the ship, and Liu Hu is very reluctant to leave.
Liu Hu himself couldn't think of a solution, so he simply broke through this point and wanted to force others to help find a solution.
Wen Pin and Huang Zhong both frowned, and even Liu Pan was a little unwilling.
When is it now, I still want to have some self-interest.
Besides, are these ships yours?
Even if you really break through the siege and return to Jingzhou, would Cai Mao really not ask you to go back?
But the other party was Liu Biao's nephew, Liu Pan's cousin, Wen Pin and Huang Zhong were just generals from other families, so they naturally had to be shorter than each other.
After having no choice, Wen Pin could only explain, "General Liu, for the safety of the army, those ships can only be abandoned."
Liu Hu did not give Wen Pin at all. Face, he immediately shouted, "The ship is the foundation of my army, how can it be easily abandoned? I don't agree!"
As soon as these words were said, Wen Pin and Huang Zhong looked extremely ugly,
>
However, Liu Hu did not expect that Kuai Yue had been waiting.
Just after Liu Hu asked, Kuai Yue suddenly said, "As General Liu said, the navy is the foundation of my Jingzhou and cannot be wasted. Since that is the case, please General Liu took the water route, and we took the land route, and agreed to meet in Chanling. "
Liu Hu changed his color immediately, and he looked at Kuai Yue in disbelief.
Kuai Yue looked calm and the army was moving on land. He was worried about the matter of shattering the rear. Since Liu Hu was still entangled at this time, it would be better to let him be responsible for shattering the rear.
Liu Pan wanted to plead for Liu Hu, but the problem is that if he spoke, who would let him cut off the back?
It is naturally impossible for Kuai Yue’s confidants to do so. On his side, Wen Pin is his uncle’s beloved general and Huang Zhong is his beloved general. He can’t let himself cut off the rear for Liu Hu.
Thinking of this, I didn't say anything even when I got to my mouth.
"Since General Liu doesn't object, then this matter is decided."
Kuai Yueda acted like a quick knife to cut the mess, and directly grabbed the broken back and put it on Liu Hu's head. superior.
Liu Hu's expression changed drastically. It was too late to explain at this time.
He is going to speak again now, isn’t he just playing with the coach?
I really think Kuai Yue’s military law is a joke?
Seeing the sternness in Kuai Yue's sight, Liu Hu did not dare to be arrogant in the end.
After seeing Liu Hu retreat, Kuai Yue immediately ordered: "Every generals will return to the camp and prepare for rectification. Tomorrow morning, the army will return, head west from the south end of Dongting Lake, take the road north of Datong Lake, and go to work first Tang County."
After speaking, he reminded Liu Hu again: "General Liu is responsible for the heavy responsibility of cutting off the rear, and I have to advise him. If he can break through the blockade of the Yangzhou navy, take the ship When you return to Jiangling, I will celebrate your merits in front of Fang Bojia. If you fail to do anything, General Liu can make a decision on his own."
Finally, Kuai Yue was not determined to kill the other party, and left a way out for the other party, almost making it clear that if he had no courage to break through the water, he would abandon his boat and land to chase us.
Liu Hu was not stupid enough, and he also heard the meaning of his words and immediately thanked Kuai Yue.
Then, the generals left the tent and returned to the headquarters to prepare.
**
After Gan Ning received Liu Feng's order, he took Su Fei away in advance and led the other party to chase the previous defeated army day and night.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Su Fei thanked Gan Ning for a big holiday: "Xingba, this time Fei can get rid of the cage, all of which are entrusted to your pleading. Fei will never forget this kind of life-saving grace."
Faced with Su Fei's gratitude, Gan Ning was furious: "Brother Su, I entered Jingzhou and was careless. When I was making things difficult for me, you took action with righteousness to solve my problems. Since then, I have been Consider you as your brother. Today, the two armies are fighting, life and death are unpredictable, but since you have survived the battlefield, how can I stand by and watch? "
"You thank me so much, do you regard me as ungrateful? Is it a puppy? "
Gan Ning has a bad temper. Even if Su Fei, whom he regards as his brother, he will scold him as soon as he says. He would be willing to give up all military achievements in order to save Su Fei, but he would not be mindless just because the other party was Su Fei.
Su Fei was very ashamed when he heard this, and immediately bowed and said, "It's my brother who is stupid. He has just gotten rid of the cage and is full of emotions. Therefore, he has such unwise words. I hope Xingba will not blame him."
Gan Ning then turned angry and said, "That's right."
Next, Gan Ning told Su Fei Liu Feng's order. Su Fei was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Liu Feng would actually give him a conspiracy. With such an important task, I was immediately excited and became even more grateful to Gan Ning.
In Su Fei's opinion, he was just a general of Xia Shu. If Gan Ning had not recommended and requested, Liu Fenggui would have been the left general and the governor of Yangzhou. How could he know that he was such a small person?
But Su Fei was wrong or not. Liu Feng remembered that he was indeed because of Gan Ning, so he had no guesses.
After thanking Gan Ning, Su Fei quickly figured out the task assigned to them by Liu Feng.
Listening to Gan Ning's words, Liu Feng gave them three tasks in total.
