Chapter 460 Chen Bing Jiangling
When Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun arrived in Baqiu, Liu Feng also chased after him.
The two discussed with Zhou Tai and Sun Ce.
According to Sun Ce's official position, he was not worthy of attending such high-level military meetings.
It's just a coincidence that Sun Ce now has an additional unofficial identity, but has increased his authority.
That is the identity of the Jingnan Military Captain whom Zhang Xian gave him a brief statement.
This means that Sun Ce represented the military strength of the four counties in Jingnan at this time.
As for this point, Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun are both open-minded and grand-studded people, so they naturally would not underestimate Sun Ce and put him out of the meeting.
Seeing Taishi Ci sitting upright in the main seat, Sun Ce was also filled with emotion.
Three years ago, the two had fought in Guangling City. Sun Ce also valued each other quite much at the time and was very interested in attracting each other.
But now, Taishi Ci is already the leader of the Defender Army, the dignified general of the Han Dynasty, and the head of the generals present.
Sun Ce, just a captain, is two completely different from Taishi Ci.
This meeting has only two issues. One is how to deal with Baqiu, and the other is whether to take into account Jingnan.
"General, Baqiu cannot defend, and there is no need to defend."
Zhao Yun spoke first. Among the generals present, his status is no less than that of Taishici, but Taishici He is the main player of this battle, and he is the deputy general, so he lowers the opponent.
Since he was confident, Zhao Yun was the first to speak and took out his thoughts.
"Now there are not many people in Baqiu City, let alone any supplies. If you are garrisoning troops, you will inevitably be worried about how much troops should be placed. If there are too many, it will weaken the main force and waste the troops. If there are too few, then It doesn't work."
At this time, Baqiu City was almost moved away as Zhao Yun said.
The food and food resources were taken away by Kuai Yue, and the population in the city, the young and strong, were summoned for the people, while the elderly and weak were abandoned in and outside the city.
The river is now owned by Yangzhou, and Kuai Yue is taking over land. Baqiu is now not a place that military strategists must fight for.
Zhou Tai hesitated and said, "If you don't station Baqiu, the supply line will be more than 1,500 miles long. Is this..."
Taishi Ci frowned slightly, and Zhou Tai's opinion could not be If you are wrong, if Baqiu is used as a relay point and stockpile materials, then you can shorten the distance to more than 300 miles.
When Taishi Ci was considering it, Sun Ce spoke out: "The general doesn't know that there is a port city outside Jiangling City, called Jinxiang Port, which is the most important stronghold near Jiangling. Although the land is a port city, it can accommodate thousands of ships and berthed. The port treasury is complete, and the material reserves are extremely abundant. If we can take it down, it will not only save the land for the army, but also the food, grass and ordnance in it will also be enough to supply the army. A half-year need."
"Oh! ?"
Sun Ce's words not only attracted Taishi Ci's attention, but even Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai and others looked at him. he.
However, Sun Ce was very energetic and continued, "My father was the prefect of Changsha. He went south from Luozhong and passed through Jiangling, so he knew the geography here."
Taishici and others suddenly realized, and immediately became excited. .
"Since that's the case, Baqiu will not pay attention to it. Go to Jinxiang Port first. If you can take over Jinxiang, you don't have to worry about Baqiu anymore. If things change, then go back to Baqiu with a partial army. Yes."
Taishi Ci finally made a decision, which was unanimously recognized by Zhao Yun and others.
So, the military discussion entered the next issue, that is, how to deal with Jingnan.
When this issue was raised, everyone's eyes fell on Sun Ce.
Nothing else. At this time, Sun Ce not only led the army of Jingnan, but also had just arrived from Jingnan. It can be said that he was the one who knew the situation of Jingnan and Linxiang the most.
Sun Ce thought about it for a moment, and said wanderingly, "In the end, Jingnan may not be loose or tight."
Zhou Tai asked in confusion if he didn't understand it. : "What does Bo Fu mean?" Zhao Yun spoke for Sun Ce and replied: "Bo Fu's meaning should be to suggest that we should not force Jingnan, and should be soft rather than hard."
Sun Ce nodded immediately and affirmed, "That's true. Before going north, Ce had discussed with Linxiang's chief clerk, a famous Changsha scholar, Duke Huan, who was also very impressed by his lord. Although Duke Zhang was very famous in Jingnan, he But his health is not healthy. If the lord wants to regain Linxiang, he may take it without fighting. "
Taishi Ci looked at Zhao Yun, who chose to support Sun Ce.
In Zhao Yun's opinion, the people suffer the most under war. If they can persuade Jingnan to surrender, they can save the people from fighting in Jingnan, which is naturally the most appropriate.
Zhou Tai also felt that what Sun Ce said made some sense, and he felt that since he had given up Baqiu for the time being, it was not appropriate to divide the troops in Jingnan at this time. It would be better to let go and report to Liu Feng.
This is the person in charge of the people present is Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai. They all care about the people and love the people as much as their own. If Pan Zhang and Gan Ning were replaced here, they would probably be the best in military merit.
After everyone finished discussing, the army rested in Baqiu City for another day, set off again the next day, heading up the river and galloping towards Jiangling.
The water route from Baqiu to Jiangling was less than 400 miles. In less than four days, the Yangzhou army had already reached the river outside Jiangling City.
Seeing from the top of Jiangling City, the river is almost full of Yangzhou warships, densely packed, like the stars in the sky. At first glance, there is no end. It seemed as if endless ships were flying from the water and sky.
In a moment, the entire Jiangling City sounded an alarm.
The prefect of Nanjun at this time was Liu Qi. In the Romance, Liu Qi asked Zhuge Liang to ask for help. With Liu Bei's help, he got the advice to avoid disaster and finally survived.
But in official history, Liu Qi, as Liu Biao's eldest son and the only adult offspring, became a very important assistant around Liu Biao, and had long been out of control for Liu Biao.
Looking at the vast and boundless Yangzhou warship outside the city, Liu Qi was quite brave and could not help but feel weak.
There are only thousands of soldiers available in the city, and Liu Qi doesn't know what to do at this moment.
He turned to see the chief clerk, Gongcao, Duwei and others around him. It would be fine if he didn't look at it, but he was shocked immediately.
It turned out that the chief clerk, Gongcao, Duwei and others were even worse than him at this time, and their faces were pale. If it weren't for the support of the people around them, they would probably have been sitting on the ground.
Liu Qi was furious and wanted to scold something, but he couldn't say anything at the end of his mouth.
Because these chief clerks, Gongcao, and Duwei were not famous scholars in Jiangling, he chose them all and took the initiative to approach the Liu family's little gentry and the little powerful.
The reason why Liu Qi chose them was not because they had any talent, but just because they obeyed their own words and never dared to disobey them.
Since Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, his authority has grown increasingly, and his mind has naturally changed. He is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the distribution of the wealthy gentry in Jingzhou.
Liu Biao wants greater power and more interests.
Liu Qi served as the prefect of Nanjun in order to clean up Jiangling and turn Jiangling of the Jingzhou gentry into Jiangling of the Liu Biao family. This is also why the Pang and Feng families are not used by Liu Qi in Nanjun.
In helpless, Liu Qi could only order to increase his vigilance while returning to the county government.
At the same time, Liu Qi also sent people to invite the patriarchs and elites of the clan such as Pang Degong and Feng Xi to the county government to discuss matters.
When the county was sent to the Pang family, Pang Tong was discussing with Pang De secretly.
At this time, Pang Tong had also received the news that Liu Feng's army had arrived in Jiangling and was showing off his power on the river.
I guess the next moment, I will land in the siege.
So, Pang Tong immediately sought to see Duke Pang De, trying to convince Duke Pang De and Taishi Ci to cooperate with each other and offer Liu Feng Jiangling and even the entire Nanjun.
After first hearing Pang Tong's words, Pang Degong almost lost his composure.
He never dreamed that his nephew who was just going to Yangzhou to study had become Liu Feng's cabinet minister, and he never thought that the other party would become Liu Feng's lobbyist.
Pang Tong respected Pang Degong very much. He was not a direct descendant of the Pang family, and his talents were not revealed outside. He has always been a middle-aged man.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
But Mr. Pang De never underestimated him. On the contrary, the investment in Pang Tong by Princess Pang De was not inferior to that of Pang De's own son Pang Shanmin.
What Pang Tong didn't know was that just this year, Pang De Guild contacted the famous scholar in Yuzhou, namely Sima Hui, the Shuijing Mr. in the Romance, to make Pang Tong famous all over the world.
This is an extremely critical step. In history, Pang Tong began to develop and gained the opportunity to discuss with Gu Yong's son Gu Shao, Lu Kang's grandson, Lu Xun's younger brother Lu Ji, Sun Quan's son-in-law Quan Cong and others. qualifications. Therefore, he represented the entire Nanjun to be recruited by Zhou Yu and served as the Nanjun Princess.
Although these have not happened at the moment, Pang Tong's respect and gratitude to Pang Degong was not at all.
Pang Degong frowned and his mind was full of thoughts. After being frightened, he gradually calmed down and realized that what Pang Tong said was not without reason.
He, Duke Pang De, was not allowed to take office, and the Pang family was confined to the Nanjun. Now even the chief clerk, Gongcao, Duwei and other important positions in the county have been lost.
Pang Degong himself would not believe it if he wanted to say he didn't want to complain.
One side is Liu Qi's various suppression and exploitation, while the other side is his confidant and nephew who enters the service center.
The calmed down, Pang Degong found himself a little moved.
"You can tell me in detail about your experience of studying in Yangzhou, especially your interactions with General Zuo. You should not hide it at all."
Pang Degong immediately scolded: "If there is any falsehood, it is not true at all." , You are not my son."
"How dare you deceive your uncle?"
Pang Tong hurriedly responded, and then discussed his experience in Yangzhou, especially how he met Liu Feng. How can he be valued by Liu Feng, be referred to as a close confidant, and be involved in the major policies and explained in detail one by one.
Only hearing this made Pang Degong stunned, surprise flashed across his face, suspicion flashed over his later times, and confusion turned into entanglement.
After a long time, Pang Degong hesitated to ask the biggest question in his heart: "Shi Yuan, why does General Zuo value you so much?"
If someone else asked this, Pang Tong would be fine The temper must also be gone.
But the person who asks this is his uncle Pang Degong, who respects and is most grateful to him, so Pang Tong naturally cannot turn against him. Moreover, when it was late at night, Pang Tong himself had thought of this problem many times.
This is not because Pang Tong is not confident enough, but because Liu Feng is so nice to him.
After thinking about it over and over again, Pang Tong only had the four words of "the king and his subjects".
Fortunately, there are also Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, which makes Pang Tong more confident. "Uncle, although the lord's kindness to Tong is rare, it is not unique."
Pang Tong all said, "There is the handsome Zhuge Kongming in Langya, and his uncle is the general of Zhendong. The confidant Zhuge Xuan was a better person than Tong and was most favored by the left general. "
"Zhuge Yinyi?"
Zhuge Xuan, whose courtesy name is Yinyi.
Pang Degong was amazed. He and Zhuge Xuan were also old friends. They were under Liu Biao's command in the past. The other party was Liu Biao's confidant and the most useful officials. Pang Degong was a local local snake. Naturally, There will be no deal.
But Pang Degong was a little confused. Zhuge Yinyi was just as capable as a man, and his virtue was pretty good. He was diligent in politics and could win Liu Biao's trust, but it was nonsense to say how outstanding his talents were. .
How can his nephew be able to beat our Feng Chu?
Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Kong Ming's talent is indeed above me. Tong Xu has been with him for several years, but he is really not as good as Kong Ming."
Pang Degong was shocked again. His nephew was strong on the outside and on the inside. Although he was humble and low-key on the surface, he was very strong on the inside, which made him feel inferior. Could this Zhuge Kongming be the talent of Wang Zuo? "Zhuge Yinyi is really a blessing..."
Pang Degong retreated in surprise, and replaced it with a strong envy.
Pang Tong shook his head, "I don't know anything about my uncle. My lord is really a gathering of elites and all the wise men are here. Those who are as talented as Tong can be said to be in groups of three or five, even if they are better than Tong. It should be a good deal."
Pang Tong was humble here, but he himself understood that in Liu Feng's heart, among civil officials, he could still rank among the top five, as long as he did not make a big mistake. , there will always be one or three officials to get it in the future.
After all, with his eyes, he only recognized Zhuge Liang as above him. Even Lu Xun and Lu Boyan were only equal to him in terms of talent, and the other party was a little less than him in terms of the master's grace.
But the main task now is to persuade my uncle to agree to his request, to work with General Taishi inside and outside, and to take down the southern county for the lord.
A little vanity is nothing.
As sure, as Pang Tong thought, when he heard that there were so many talented people in Liu Feng's tent, Pang Degong couldn't help but take a breath.
From his perspective, Kuai Yue is the only one who can compare his talents with his Feng Chu in Jingzhou.
Whether it is Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, Han Song, or Wang Jie, a man from the north, they are not as capable as their nephew.
In the original time and space, Pang Degong also praised his nephew Pang Tong as the crown of the Southern Kingdom, but he really thought so.
Pang Degong asked with some doubts: "Is there so many talents in the Zuo General's Staff?"
Pang Tong was prepared in his heart and immediately replied loudly: "After the famous Yingchuan family, the eight dragons of Xun's family are from the eight dragons. The son, Xun You and Xun Gongda. The eldest of the four chiefs of Yingchuan, the grandson of the wise Chen Qi, the son of Chen Qun and Chen Changwen, the grandson of the Grand Marshal Chen Qiu, the son of Chen Gui, the son of Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, Zhuge Xuan's nephew Zhuge Kongming, and Lu Kangzhi's subordinate Lu Xun Lu Boyan, all of these five people should have the ability to conquer the heaven and earth, and are actually the talents of the king and the assistants."
