world festival

Everyone agreed after hearing this, Lu Fang inspected the barracks carefully, and rested in Liu Yao City at night.

On the wharf outside Runzhou City, ships of all sizes almost crowded the plank road, and it was almost possible to jump from the east side of the wharf to the west side along the boats.A large group of masters are moving bags of military rations and a large amount of luggage onto the ship.The largest warship next to the pier is heavily guarded, and the plank road is full of armored and armed guards, full of murderous looks.The masters who carried the goods unconsciously tried to stay as far away as possible.In the cabin, Zuo Zheng, the generals of the Runzhou Army, huddled together to discuss the strategy of attacking Qian Miao.Lu Fang has the least seniority among them, and he is still a newcomer. He is silently reciting the famous saying of being an official passed down from later generations: "Kowtow more, talk less." When he looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and practiced Qi-nourishing Kungfu with his head down, he suddenly heard a person in the crowd Said: "General Lu is so silent." Lu Fang was secretly scolding that idler for causing trouble for himself, but when he looked up, it was indeed An Renyi who spoke.He hurriedly got up and bowed his hands: "Mr. An has a lot of talents under his command, and they are all veteran generals who have been in the army for a long time. Why do you dare to talk too much, just listen to your opinions."

An Renyi had a half-smile on his face, and said, "You're just unhappy. If you're a worthless wretch, why did you offend so many people in Shouzhou City that day and want you here? Come on, your stomach is beating What an idea!"

After what An Renyi said, all the people in the cabin focused their eyes on Lu Fang, wanting to see why the lord valued this short-haired man so much.Lu Fang secretly groaned in his heart, originally wanted to keep a low profile, but this time he went out to fish in troubled waters, and he never dared to do anything reckless. People must hold grudges against themselves, and those who match may not say good things to newcomers, but it is a business that is sure to lose but not make money.Just as he was about to say a few prevarications, An Renyi continued to say: "King Yang ordered us to attack the Hangzhou garrison to restrain Qian Miao's troops and rescue Dong Chang. He thought how to march." While speaking, he unexpectedly Walking to Lu Fang's side and walking to the map with his arms, Lu Fang's heart was so hot that he couldn't say anything.He lowered his head and looked at the map that he had already memorized by heart. After a while, he raised his head and said, "This time King Yang ordered us to enter the east and west of Zhejiang to rescue Dong Chang. The purpose is twofold: one is to prevent Qian Miao from annexing the two provinces of Zhejiang, so that he can The two tigers are facing each other, and there is no way to harm me; the second is to annex the Suzhou, Hangzhou and Changhu states as much as possible. However, the Zhejiang West Road controlled by Qian Miao lies between Huainan and Dong Chang's Zhejiang East Road, and the old and the weak must take advantage of the danger Stand with me, and then take the elite as soon as possible to capture Yuezhou, destroy Dongchang, and then raise the soldiers of the whole Zhejiang to face us. And we will either defeat the enemy who is stalemate with us before Qian Miao captures Dongchang, so that they will be inseparable Look after each other, or join forces with Dong Chang." At this point, Lu Fang paused, picked up a counting chip next to him, pointed to a place on the map, and continued: "This time, the land of Wuyue is full of lakes and ditches. Vertical and horizontal, but the main rivers are only two Zhejiang and Jiangnan Rivers. Zhejiang separates Zhejiang East Road and Zhejiang West Road, and Jiangnan River connects the two major water systems of Yangtze River and Zhejiang. If we want to join forces with Dongchang, we must cross Zhejiang; and If the boat division wants to go south, it must go south from the south of the Yangtze River. The Jiangnan River runs from Runzhou, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Jiaxing to Hangzhou. Separate and break through, otherwise our army will struggle and be controlled by the enemy."

The generals in the cabin were a little contemptuous at first, but as Lu Fang made it clear, he gradually sat down, and the look in his eyes gradually changed from disdain to respect.An Renyi nodded, and said: "A certain general gathered the boat masters here and planned to go down the Jiangnan River, but Suzhou was defended by Cheng Ji, Qian Miao's deputy, and Taimeng couldn't take it. Could it be that we also want to besiege together No?"

Lu An shook his head: "I'm afraid Dong Chang won't be able to wait so long. If Qian Miao wins the six states in the east of Zhejiang, the big thing will be over. If there is no Huainan army, with Xuanrun and the two states, how can we defeat that kind of enemy after creating a new one?" A large army. Qian Miao sent troops to the city of Yuezhou in February this year, and retreated after being bribed by Dong Chang. Later, he asked the imperial court for an imperial edict, cut off Dong Chang's official title, and asked for the post of envoy in Eastern Zhejiang. It is certain that when Qian Miao sent troops, Dong Chang was isolated and helpless. It was actually a little late for us to send troops at this time. The way of military tactics is just and mixed. Taimeng attacked Suzhou and marched along the Jiangnan River. The following is correct. A certain person thinks that the boats should go south along the Jiangnan Canal, and then go from Wuxingtang to Huzhou. The guard of Huzhou is Xu Shu, Dong Chang's confidant. We can use Huzhou as a back seat, and we can enter Liupu and cross the river southward. Xiling is connected to Dongchang, and it is surprising that Jiaxing can be captured in the east and the connection between Suzhou and Hangzhou can be cut off. In this way, Qian and Miao will not be able to look after each other, so we can look for opportunities to win."

Lu Fang looked at the map and talked all the way. At the end, he punched the location of Xiling in Huzhou on the map.When he raised his head, he saw An Renyi's eyes full of strange eyes. He shook his head and sighed: "A certain family heard from you Han people that Zhang Liang was planning a strategy and winning thousands of miles away. The battlefield is always changing rapidly. How do you know if you are thousands of miles away? I thought it was just talking big and deceiving people, but I didn’t expect there to be such a person as you, so what’s the point of offending ten Zhu Yanshou if you want to come here.” At this point, Lu Fang was about to say a few words of modesty, but he heard An Renyi said surongly: "King Yang has ordered Wei Yue to lead the army and Xu Shuhe to besiege Jiaxing together." Turning his head to look at Lu Fang, he sighed and said, "The real heroes see the same thing. You, I'm afraid the people below Duke Yang have already been turned into ashes, it seems that the vacancy of this marching commander in a certain shogunate must be yours."

Just as Lu Fang was about to back down, a thought suddenly popped into his head, "Xu Shu is Dong Chang's confidant, and he must be eager to capture Jiaxing and attract Qian Miao's army to rescue the lord, but Wei Yue's army went deep alone. He is far away, if Qian Miao attacked with elite soldiers, he would definitely be defeated, and if even Huzhou is lost, An Renyi who went south would become a lone army with no grounds." Thinking of this, he quickly explained his worries to An Renyi, and An Renyi Renyi pondered for a while, then ordered Lu Fang to lead the troops of the headquarters to go south by boat immediately, and lead the army to follow.Lu Fangzheng secretly scolded himself for causing trouble by talking too much, An Renyi waved his hand to attract someone from behind, and said with a smile: "You and Lu Sima are old acquaintances, this time we will bring 500 people to pass with him, it will be better."

Lu Fang took a closer look and saw that it was Li Rui who came.

In October of the second year of Qianning, Wudun Town, Wucheng County, Huzhou, is located at the junction of Huzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. The winding Jiangnan Canal flows by the town, and the town is between Jiaxing and Hangzhou.At this time, the town is no longer the peaceful small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Since Huainan general Wei Yue and Dong Chang's general Xu Shu arrived here three days ago, Wei Yue separated Wudun and Guangfu two villages and built them across the river to isolate Jiaxing. , Hangzhou traffic, Xu Shu is fully attacking Jiaxing.Jiaxing was an important point on the outskirts of Hangzhou. Once it was captured, not only would the city of Hangzhou be directly exposed to the army, but also the traffic between Suzhou and Hangzhou would be cut off. Cheng Ji, who guarded Suzhou, would be in a dilemma.

Seen from a high altitude, the fields around Wudun town have been harvested cleanly, and even the redundant trees have been cut down completely, leaving nothing to be seen.The black masses of people gathered together, like a group of ants building their nests.The Huainan army confiscated the townspeople to demolish some houses in order to obtain materials. If any people dared to resist, they would be dragged out immediately and beaten to death with sticks and whips.Moreover, the original wall at the edge of the town was thickened and heightened, and the trench was deepened and widened, leaving only a few protruding gates for attack. Crossbow towers were built every 50 steps, watchtowers were erected at the four corners, and houses close to the wall in the town were built. All were dismantled, and a four-foot-wide passage was left inside the wall to facilitate the maneuvering of the defenders and prevent fire from the attackers. The two villages were connected by floating bridges across the river. At the end of the bridge, there is also a hopeful building.Holding a spear, Wei Yue took a few steps and then stabbed it hard against the wall. When he penetrated more than half a foot into the wall, he called the supervisor in charge of this section, and immediately reworked and rammed it.The three-mile-long wall took two hours to complete.After finishing all this, Wei Yue walked up to the watchtower in the southwest corner, already a little out of breath, he looked worriedly towards the direction of Hangzhou, the sky was very gloomy, and there was not even a ray of sunshine in broad daylight, the river in the south of the Yangtze River meanders and stretches all the way On the distant horizon, swallows flew low against the river, and the air was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.Wei Yue felt a bit bitter in his mouth: "Xu Shu, the general of Dong Chang's department, insisted on sending troops to attack Jiaxing immediately, but he was serious and wanted to wait for Xuanrun's soldiers to arrive before attacking. If Wei Yue didn't come, he would attack Jiaxing by himself, but Wei Yue had no choice but to come together, the two armies divided Xu Shu's army to attack Jiaxing with all their strength, and Wei Yue defended the stronghold against the army from Hangzhou." Thinking of this, the bitter taste in Wei Yue's mouth became even stronger. It's important, he has led the army for many years, is it a bit reckless this time, his three thousand troops went deep alone, and there is no army after him, no matter how strong the village is, it will not help.Suddenly a flash of lightning pierced the sky, and raindrops as big as beans splashed down. Only then did the rumbling thunder sound, which immediately drenched the working people, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.Wei Yue turned his head and gave an order to the general behind him: "Work hard. The deep trench outside the wall of the village must be filled with bamboo sticks. Don't stop until the work is finished." Walking forward to the pontoon, I thought in my mind: "When will Xuanrun's army arrive? It's like a baby in the mouth of a tiger here. It's dangerous to stay for another hour!"
