Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 166 Time is very important

"What?" Pang Tong was also taken aback when he heard the words, and snatched the military newspaper from Zhao Feng's hand.

"The six counties of Jiaozhou have already been recovered, and the thousands of people from Ling Tong have escaped to Zhuya County, which is no longer harmful to the overall situation. Only after the Jingxiang navy is familiar with the local water conditions, can we attack them across the sea!" Zhao Feng sighed a little. road.Gao Lan, Huang Zhong and the others were both surprised and delighted when they heard the words. No one thought that in just a few months, the whole Jiaozhou would be called Gan Ning and clean up.It should be noted that since the time of Sun Ce, Jiaozhou has been occupied by the Sun family for nearly seven years.Even if the interior is empty now, there are still 3 to [-] troops stationed at any rate.Gan Ning led [-] sailors, and in just one month, Jiaozhou was pacified.

"If it weren't for Guangyuan's ingenious plan, I'm afraid this matter would not be so easy." Pang Tong also sighed after reading it.The disciples of Lumen Mountain really lived up to their reputation, and even Shi Guangyuan managed to clean up Sun Jing who had been in Jiaozhou for several years.Now Sun Quan's strongholds, apart from Kuaiji and Wujun, are only Yizhou and Zhuyajun, which are isolated overseas.

"It's the middle of the twelfth lunar month now. I think it's better to let the soldiers take a rest, and go to break Wu County and Kuaiji after the New Year!" After reading the military newspaper, Pang Tong also put forward his own suggestions. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others also Deeply agree.Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng smiled and said: "Shiyuan, I'm going to do the opposite this time. I decided to send troops to Wujun and Kuaiji in two days. I will lead the way to attack Wujun, Zilong, you will lead a team." Send troops to attack Kuaiji."

"Huh?" Pang Tong and others were quite surprised when they heard this. "Bo Tao, it's cold in winter, it's not suitable to march!" Huang Zhong first remonstrated, and the rest of the generals also felt that it was too hasty to march at this time.A truce in winter is the basic common sense of war.Unless they want to win in danger, few people choose to march in winter.Now that the Xuzhou Army has more than [-] troops stationed in Xindu County, all that is left is to besiege the last two strongholds of Sun Quan.

Zhao Feng chuckled and said, "Originally, I planned to send troops after the new year, but after inspecting the prisoners these days, I changed my mind."

"Check the prisoners of war?" This time everyone felt even more puzzled, and even Pang Tong was a little surprised.Zhao Feng didn't hold back, and said directly: "I have seen the prisoners of the Jiaozhou Army. Although this year is not too cold, since the beginning of winter, they have begun to be more and more unable to bear the weather, and the number of people with frostbite is increasing day by day. The climate in Jiaozhou is warm. These When the Jiaozhou army came to Jiangdong, they couldn't stand the cold winter. If there is another heavy snowfall, half of the Jiaozhou army will lose their combat effectiveness. If you don't take this opportunity to take Wujun and Kuaiji, when will you wait? Woolen cloth?"

"So that's how it is!" Pang Tong and the others suddenly understood. They all knew that Jiaozhou's climate was warm, but they didn't expect that Jiaozhou's army was so cold-resistant.Zhao Feng knew that in the south of the Five Ridges, the winter temperature was at least ten degrees Celsius, but in Jiangdong, the lowest temperature could reach below zero.The temperature dropped by more than ten degrees at once, and these Jiaozhou soldiers who grew up in Lingnan naturally couldn't bear it.

"Since this is the case, the general can wait patiently for another day or two. Tong watched the sky last night, and there will be snow in the next few days. When the snow falls, the Jiaozhou army may not be able to eat it!" To relieve the excitement a little, Pang Tong spoke.Everyone looked up at the sky full of clouds, and saw that it was indeed going to snow. Zhao Feng also ordered the soldiers to keep warm, and waited for the snow to take the opportunity to send troops to Wu County.

Pang Tong's forecast was not wrong. In the evening of that day, snowflakes gradually fell down one by one.Zhao Feng and the others stared at the falling snow, praying in their hearts that it would be bigger. "Zilong, if we send troops overnight, Sun Quan will probably be careless in such a snowy day. If we are lucky, we can not only take advantage of others' danger, but also catch them by surprise." Zhao Feng looked at the falling snowflakes, and suddenly proposed road.He remembered the battle four years ago, Zhou Yu took advantage of the snowy night to catch the Jingzhou army by surprise, and he might be able to do it according to the law today.

"That's great, General. I'm afraid it will take at least a day or two for the snow to stop. If you send troops early, you may be able to take Wu Jun and Kuaiji as soon as possible." Pang Tong also strongly agreed with this.At present, Zhao Feng led 3 horses, together with Huang Zhong and others, took advantage of the heavy snow to leave Xindu County secretly, and moved towards Wu County quietly.Zhao Yun and Gao Lan also led a partial division of 2 people to Kuaiji.

At this time, in Wujun City, Sun Quan was already very anxious.Since the beginning of winter, the number of frostbitten soldiers from Jiaozhou under his command has been increasing day by day.Although I have tried my best to equip them with cotton clothes to keep out the cold, these Jiaozhou people who are used to the warm Lingnan, even if they breathe slightly cold air, might frostbite their lungs.And the heavy snow that started this evening made Sun Quan even worse.

"My lord, just now hundreds of soldiers were frostbitten and unable to continue defending the city. They have been transferred to private houses in the city to recuperate." Lu Meng came to report at this time.Sun Quan asked with a wry smile, "Zi Ming, how many soldiers can we fight?"

"Currently there are about 1 soldiers in the city who can fight, and there are about [-] or [-] Jiaozhou soldiers who have been frostbitten." Lu Meng hesitated for a moment, but still gave the specific number.Sun Quan sighed, he knew that the most elite under his command was the Jiaozhou Army, but the day before yesterday Jiaozhou killed and injured more than [-] people, and now seven or eight thousand people were frostbitten, the loss would be huge.Most of the more than [-] people who were not frostbitten were soldiers of local origin.However, these people were either the surrendered troops who were recruited at the beginning, or the recruits who had just been recruited.Relying on them to fight, loyalty and combat effectiveness are difficult to guarantee.Thinking of this, Sun Quan also had a headache. He didn't expect that he would be hit by a heavy snowfall.

"Ziming, is the ship ready?" Sun Quan suddenly raised his head and asked.Lu Meng knew that his lord was already considering the way out, but the current situation was indeed not optimistic.At that moment, Lu Meng also said honestly: "Don't worry, my lord, we have already parked two big ships at the port. If things go wrong, we can escape from the tunnel to the east of Wujun City a few miles away, first take a boat from the river to the port, and then change Make a big boat and go to Yizhou!"

"Forget it, as long as you can save your life, this Jiangdong doesn't matter!" Sun Quan sighed.Looking at Lu Meng in front of him, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Zi Ming, my lord has not been able to do you any good. I have not yet reached the age of [-], and I will flee overseas with me. I really wronged you."

"My lord, what are you talking about? Lu Meng is just a reckless man from Wu. Thanks to my lord's perseverance, I am now in my current position! Now I will try my best to fight, but I will be defeated. I will go overseas to be a foreigner, and become king in a foreign land. Staying away from this chaotic world is also at ease." Lu Meng said hastily.Sun Quan looked at this young man who had followed him for many years, and nodded with emotion.

There was nothing to say all night, two hours after the army set off, Zhao Feng's troops had already walked out of Xindu County dozens of miles away. "Shi Yuan, when do you think the snow will stop?" Looking at the heavy snow that showed no signs of weakening, Zhao Feng also asked a little unsurely.At this time, after two hours of accumulation, the snow on the ground could almost cover the feet.If you go down, it will be more difficult to march.

"It will stop in the early hours of the morning, but there should be another one tomorrow." Pang Tong was not as cold-resistant as Zhao Feng, and now he was wrapped in a cotton coat, but he was still a little wobbly when riding on the horse.Zhao Feng looked at him, and sighed on purpose: "Shi Yuan, why are you so intolerant of severe cold, Kong Ming is much stronger than you."

"Ah Liang is a farmer, so I can't compare with him!" Pang Tong replied with a smile.Zhao Feng shook his head, but he was thinking in his heart that if the battle goes to the north in the future, how can Pang Xiaoniao survive the severe cold there with his body and bones.

"Hey!" Pang Tong suddenly smiled wretchedly, and then asked Zhao Feng: "General, I heard that when Jiangling was attacked that day, Ah Liang beat that fellow Kuai Yue until his face was covered in blood?"

"Yes!" Zhao Feng thought of Zhuge Liang's runaway appearance that day, and he was quite surprised. The so-called rabbit wants to bite when it is in a hurry, probably this is the case.

"A Liang, he was only 13 years old when he came to Jingxiang, but his height is about fifteen or sixteen years old. There are so many people in Lumen Academy, he is the strongest, and we dare not bully him as an outsider. Afraid of being beaten by him." Pang Tong laughed.

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was a little surprised, he didn't expect Kong Ming to be so violent.At this moment, Ma Lai reported that a town in front seemed to be stationed by Jiangdong Army, but the number was very small, only a few hundred.Zhao Feng ordered to surround and annihilate them immediately.

"Ahh!" At this moment, in the Yamen of Jingzhou Mansion in Xiangyang City, Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of Jingzhou Diannong, sneezed, and after the sneeze, he rubbed his nose in puzzlement and murmured: "Aying, you miss me so soon Already?" After speaking, the writing came even faster, and the rest of the dossier was written and commented in a short time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.Putting on a cloak, Zhuge Liang walked out of the court.Although it was still snowing in Jiangdong, it had stopped in Jingbei at this time, the sky was full of stars, Zhuge Liang looked up at the sky full of stars, but he was looking for the key stars.

"The Emperor Star is still dim, it seems that something is really wrong with your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang checked the Emperor Star at the first time, and of course it was still very weak.Next to the Emperor Star, there was a big star shining brightly, so dazzling that the light of the Emperor Star, which was not very bright, was covered up a lot.In addition, there are many small stars around this big star.

"Cao Cao's weather is at its peak, I'm afraid we can't get rid of it in a hurry!" Zhuge Liang sighed.Turning my head to look at other stars, I saw that there was also a star shining between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River, which was not much worse than Cao Cao's natal star.What's more, it is surrounded by stars and is extremely prosperous.Zhuge Liang looked at it, and nodded secretly, with a lot of confidence in his heart.

At this moment, several meteors streaked across the sky and fell in Jiangdong.Zhuge Liang was startled in his heart, after carefully checking the stars, he counted again.When he finished the calculation, he broke out in a cold sweat as expected.Zhuge Liang didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly wrote an urgent letter at his desk, sent someone to travel day and night, and quickly sent it to Pang Tong, who was following the army to conquer Jiangdong.
