Chapter 216 Name

From Linxiang to Hengshan Township, the land route is about four to five hundred miles, and the waterway is seven hundred miles. The Jingzhou navy is traveling upstream with heavy ships. It can only travel fifty or sixty miles a day, and it takes more than ten days to reach Hengshan Township.And Liu Zhu's investigators who stayed in Linxiang sent the information back in less than three days.

After Liu Zhu heard the news that the Jingzhou navy was going south, he sent people back to Ling County to inform Liu Jing, and at the same time sent people to Hengshan to contact Shan Riqiu.

Another day later, on the evening of February [-]th, Liu Jing received the news in the house. At this time, the Jingzhou navy had only traveled more than two hundred miles.

Liu Jing didn't hastily summon the generals under his command to discuss. In fact, the generals have been in intense preparations for more than half a month. At present, the warships are all ready, and they can be dispatched with Liu Jing's order.

Liu Jing sent someone to inform the congregation, and he stayed in the official residence to accompany his wife at ease.

"Liu Lang..." Deng Yuan, who was as big as a basket, leaned on Liu Jing's shoulder, with a look of worry on his obviously rounded face.

Liu Jing looked calm, and said with a smile: "This is exactly what I want. If the other party comes when you are in labor, I must have something in my heart, and I will not be able to concentrate on defending against the enemy. The other party's arrival at this time is just as I wish. I want to use a big victory to celebrate my baby's birthday. I have already thought of the baby's name, if I have a boy, I will name it Qi (qí), and if I give birth to a girl, I will name it Jie." Liu Jing said while pointing his finger After dipping in water, write the words "Qi" and "Jie" on the desk respectively.

Great victory means victory, this is easy to understand.The flag is a kind of banner with the pattern of crossing dragons in ancient times. The so-called crossing dragon means that two dragons are tied together. The flag has a bell to command the soldiers.

"Flag..." Deng Yuan looked at the flag characters on the book case, and said in a deep voice: ""Book of Songs·Shang Song·Xuan Niao":"The successor of Shang, the order is not perilous, in Wuding's grandson. .Dragon flags are ten times, and big 糦 is inheritance.'" The flag is not only the flag of the general, but also refers to the emperor and princes.

Liu Jing said with a smile: "Shaojun is erudite and strong in memory, and I am willing to bow down to you." He has always studied without seeking deep understanding, if only in terms of Confucian classics, Deng Yuan is ten blocks away from him.

Deng Yuan nodded lightly and said: "Liu Qi, this name has a very good meaning, I hope this name can bring victory to Liu Lang."

"If you want to talk about the meaning, shouldn't Liu Jie's meaning be better?" Liu Jing silently complained about his wife's preference for sons over daughters.He said in his mouth: "Just don't worry, Shaojun. If the opponent is Kuai Yue, I may still be afraid of three points in my heart. Cai Mao is just a frivolous person relying on his family background. No matter how many troops he has, in my opinion, he is just a local chicken." Wagou, you can break it in one battle."

Deng Yuan knew that her husband said this just to reassure her, and he didn't really despise the opponent, so he didn't say much.

The two knew that their separation was imminent, so they cherished the remaining time, snuggled up to each other, and chatted until late at night.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Jing went to sit down and found that everyone had arrived, gathering in twos and threes to talk, and the content of the conversation was inseparable from the upcoming battle.There is no lack of worry in the hearts of the generals, but most of them are excited. How can a man live in the army without fame for a long time?They have waited too long for this day.

"Liu Jun..." Seeing Liu Jing, all the generals stopped talking and stepped forward to salute.

Liu Zong, Liu Xiu, Liu Liang, Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, Wang Qiang, Han Guang, serious...

Liu Jing glanced over everyone, and said with a relaxed tone: "The Jingzhou navy has indeed gone south as we expected. In this battle, we have the best time, location, and harmony. It can be a complete victory. "The Book of Songs" has a saying: "A minister who enters Jue Hu, Kan is like a tiger, and a man who goes to Dun Huai is still an ugly captive." I hope you can be as brave and fearless as the poem says, and as powerful as a tiger , Fighting in front of the battle, capturing the enemy captives. Encourage it, encourage it."

"No." All the generals bowed in unison.

It will take at least ten days for the Jingzhou navy to reach the ambush site, but it only takes one day for them to sail downstream from Ling County.

Although there is plenty of time, as the ambush party, they need to do a lot of preparation work in advance, so naturally, the sooner they arrive at the scheduled battlefield, the better.

After Liu Jing hurriedly explained a few things, he ordered all the generals to return to the camp, order their ranks, and set off on the boat.

The generals took orders and dispersed immediately.

Not long after, Ling County's new city, old city, Xiangshui, Leishui, Chengshui... boiled one after another. For a while, vehicles crowded the roads, boats spread all over the river, soldiers and civilians came and went, and it was a busy scene.

Liu Jing currently has nearly 5000 water infantry troops under his command, including 5000 infantry troops. There are six battalions, and Liu Zong, Liu Xiu, Liu Liang, Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, and Han Guang each command one battalion.The navy also has nearly 77 people, a total of [-] warships such as warships and fighting ships, and more than [-] large and small boats.

In addition to the tens of thousands of water infantry, Liu Jing will bring more than [-] civilian husbands this time.

The ratio of civilians to soldiers is close to one to one, which is already a very low ratio. This is due to the well-developed water network in the south, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources. If it is changed to the north, the number of civilians is usually two to three times that of soldiers, which is extremely extreme. The situation is even more so.

Liu Jing was about to leave, and he returned home to bid farewell to his stepmother Zhang and sister-in-law Lai Ci. During this period, Liu He sat on the couch without saying a word. He didn't chase him out until Liu Jing left, begging in a low voice: "Brother, can you Can't you take me with you?"

Liu He is already 15 years old this year. Although his face still looks immature, it also has a hint of maturity.

Liu Jinglue pondered for a while, then shook his head and refused: "Ah Ruo, you just tied your hair this year. The battlefield is not where you should go at your age. Right now your priority is to study and study. When I come back, I will send you to Leiyang and pay homage to him." Huan (Yi) Duke's family."

Liu He sighed in his heart, and he knew that brother would not agree, and argued: "I didn't neglect studying, I just wanted to go to the battlefield to broaden my horizons. I don't rush to study for a while."

"If you can convince Mother, I will take you with me." Liu Jing said with a half-smile.Although the stepmother Zhang is strict, she actually loves Liu He more than herself. When Liu's father died, she was very young and could remarry. Because she couldn't let go of Liu He and Liu Rao, she chose to stay in Liu He. Family.So she would never agree with Liu He taking risks on the battlefield.

Liu He was like a deflated ball when he heard the words. If he could convince his mother, he would have spoken a long time ago. He wanted to count on Liu Jing's help, but now it seems that there is no hope at all.

Seeing his younger brother sighing, Liu Jing couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, Ah Ruo, don't put on such a dejected look. Your elder brother and I didn't come to the battlefield until we were 19 years old. You are only 15 years old, why worry?"

Liu He whispered: "Liu Ziming has been on the battlefield since he was 16 years old, and he even personally killed one level."

Liu Jing couldn't help being startled, and thought to himself, no wonder he was clamoring to go to the battlefield, so the root cause is here, is this because he is holding back his energy and wanting to compete with Liu Liang?

Liu He is only three years younger than Liu Liang. Logically speaking, the two are both of the same family and close neighbors, so they should be able to play together, but the strange thing is that the relationship between the two has been very ordinary since they were young, and they almost never play together.

Later, as Liu Jing's favor for Liu Liang increased, Liu He began to compete secretly with Liu Liang for no reason.

However, Liu He is better than anything, more than military talent... Liu Liang is a natural born general.

Liu Jing let Liu Liang, who has reached his full age, take over Chu Fangying this year. It was originally an act of driving ducks to the shelves, and he had the power to act as a living horse doctor. Unexpectedly, he led him in a good manner, at least the soldiers were willing to respect his orders.

Don't think that this is very common, you must know that being able to command hundreds of people is enough to enter the country's sight, and being able to command a battalion of soldiers is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of senior generals with one foot. North Korea, there will not be more than 1000 people.The degree of preciousness is even rarer than Bailihou who is in charge of a county.

What's more, this talent is undoubtedly a national pillar-level talent, and no amount of attention can be overestimated.

Liu Jing couldn't help but feel emotional, the young man who ordered Zhu Tong to think of it as a trilogy, finally turned his wish into reality.

It's not that Liu Jing underestimated his younger brother. Some things are purely rewarded by God, and it is difficult to make up for the day after tomorrow. In terms of military talent alone, Liu He can't catch up with Liu Liang.

"Zi Ming has a special talent in this area, and that's why I supported him at the beginning." Liu Jingdao: "This is his strength, but it may not be your strength. There is no need to compare with him."

Liu He was dissatisfied, brother, what are you talking about?How did brother know that he was inferior to Liu Liang?

"It's getting late, that's it." Liu Jing smiled and shook his head, and said, "I will leave this time, at least half a month away, when you are free, go to the official residence with your mother and sister-in-law to see your second sister-in-law. "

"No." Liu He promised.

Liu Jing finally patted Liu He on the back, turned around and boarded the car to leave.
