Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty - Chapter 904
?The autumn in Tokyo is getting stronger, while the Jiaozhou coast in the south is still hot at this time.
The surface of the Taiping River’s mouth of the sea is very wide. The river and sea water are mixed together. It has long been unclear whether it is sea water or river water. It wasn’t until the sailor on the ship took a rope to pick up a gourd to taste the taste, and then shouted: “The water has faded!”
Immediately, a handsome young military commander rebuked: “Military orders are not allowed to drink unboiled water!”
“I just have a taste.” The sailor murmured a little disapprovingly. The crowd was also noisy and didn’t take it seriously.
The young military commander is Yu Liang. He suddenly felt that the soldiers had no respect for him, and his expression was unhappy. However, the military order issued by the Chinese army was only inaccurate and did not stipulate how to punish violations. Yu Liang also had an attack, otherwise everyone would think he made a fuss.
So Yu Liang pulled up his face and roared: “When Cao Gong conquered the Southern Han Dynasty, how many people did not die on the battlefield, died of dysentery and miasma!” He drank again violently, “Laughing at this time, when the time comes. Don’t howl!”
The noise around him stopped for a while. Yu Liang was very satisfied when he saw it, and took the opportunity to give orders, “After reaching the shore, everyone with their heads brought people to the distribution place, picking wormwood, wormwood, realgar, and ageratum. Act according to military orders. “
At this moment, General Zhang Jiankui stepped onto the splint and echoed: “Deputy Commander Yu said very well. Even if it is a trivial matter, everyone should follow the rules. This is not difficult. I worry about it. There are many things, how to build military villages, how to deploy defensive scouts, and if the soldiers don’t listen to orders, can so many people still have the law to do? The soldiers are quick to do what they are telling you to do.
“General Zhang, General Feng, please come and talk.” A civil servant shouted apologetically from the lookout building.
Zhang Jiankui nodded in agreement, and said to Yu Liang, “Remind the people on this ship that Artemisia sylvestris can not be boiled and soaked in cold water.”
Yu Liang apologized and said: “Oh, yes.”
Zhang Jiankui boarded the ship building and saw Feng Jiye and Zheng Xianchun standing there looking out over the land. Zhang Jiankui stepped forward to meet each other and looked forward to the surroundings. As soon as he reached a high place, his vision suddenly widened, and the white sails on the sea became more and more spectacular. Although Xu Jun’s forward Feng Jiye has only 3,000 people in total, the Jiaolong Army has dispatched many large and small ships in order to transport troops and equipment. In addition to sea ships, there are flat-bottomed sandboats, suitable for coastal shallow water landing battles and inland river navigation.
But the current situation seems that there will be no war in the landing.
The magnificent fleet is even more contrasting with the calmness of the land. Xu Jun seemed like an unexpected guest, incompatible with the desolation here.
Chang Shi Zheng Xianchun said: “I have asked the Jiaozhou guide and I am pretty sure this is the mouth of the Taiping River. There is a stream named Baiteng River to the north of this river, which was where the Wu Quan Department of Jiaozhou broke into the Southern Han Army.”
Zhang Jiankui said: “That’s right, Cao Gong means, we have to stand at the mouth of the river and defeat the enemy.”
Feng Jiye said: “I heard that the Southern Han Army navy often enters Jiaozhou from Halong Bay, and the Jiaozhou people are also heavily armed in Halong Bay. We walked this way and got ashore and saved a lot of trouble.”
Zheng Xianchun said: “General Feng said that it is very true that the Guangnan Navy never walked down the Baiteng River in Halong Bay or walked down the Red River. Few people took this path.”
A large fleet on the sea is slowly approaching the land. Zhang Jiankui took out a picture from his arms and unfolded it, sometimes looking up and sometimes looking down at the picture for comparison.
He shook his finger forward and said: “There is a lake in the northeast. The fleet enters the lake and can avoid the wind and the rapids. The military village is stationed on the north shore and the fort is built on the spot. After landing, he will be responsible for building the military village and After the fort repair, General Feng will be responsible for the deployment and scouts to prevent the Jiaozhou army from attacking us.”
Zhang Jiankui reminded with a bit of worry: “To the south of the lake, there is a large jungle. General Feng, please take a look at the lush forest on the east. You must send scouts into the forest to see; there are sand boats on the lake and river day and night. patrol.”
Feng Jiye smiled and said: “General Zhang is too worried. My title was earned in battle, not by skirts and belts.”
Zheng Xianchun laughed a few times after hearing this.
With a smile on Feng Jiye’s face, he said that he would accept it. It was a little moody. He turned coldly and said: “What does General Zhang do for repairing the fort? There are so many people who have to prepare for battle and work?”
Zhang Jiankui said: “Da Xu is strong and Jiaozhou is weak, Ding Buling dare not easily go to war with Da Xu. Our initial defense is mainly based on scouts. Soldiers build fortifications first.” He groaned, “Stand your feet first. The locals can talk about the terms of the deal and maybe get some manpower.”
Feng Jiye said: “Ding Bu will send a large army to attack, but it is the most trouble-free.”
“Why?” Zhang Jiankui asked in confusion.
Feng Jiye said, “Aren’t there many captives doing hard work?”
The three of them looked at each other immediately.
After discussing for a while, they called the commanders, deputy commanders, and all heads to the flagship to deploy and arrange the responsibilities of each department.
More than an hour later, the generals led his troops to land on a sand boat. There was no one soldier in Jiaozhou, and Xu Jun encountered no resistance. The north bank is flat, with large tracts of rice fields and vegetable fields, small rivers and water parks everywhere, and some farmhouses dotted among them. A place as a camp has been vacated, some soldiers are burning rice crops, fields have also been dug down, digging ditches to release water. Zhang Jiankui’s report was that he bought the farmhouses and fields of the farmers with his money.
The south bank of the lake is full of woods. The woods over there are inconvenient to observe and search, but a large amount of wood can also be used to build barracks and collect firewood. The hustle and bustle of Jiang’an suddenly became lively, and the arrival of Xu’s soldiers on horseback made it seem like a big market.
At this moment, Zhang Jiankui discovered that a house on the field was burning and the smoke was soaking up the sky. He immediately sent a question from the scout general. The general said: “Brothers follow the rules to inspect nearby houses, just to see who is inside. The house closed the door without answering, so the scout kicked the door and went in. Unexpectedly, a man rushed over with a scythe and yelled. Suddenly, he killed the man with a fire gun. The matter was reported to Command Huang, who ordered us to kill everyone and burn the house to prevent the family from yelling…”
After hearing this, Zhang Jiankui frowned, but Zheng Xianchun, a civil servant of the Supervisory Army, persuaded: “The imperial court and Ding Buling do not have envoys, so we suddenly come to Jiaozhou site, it is inevitable that such evil will happen. If the guards are too tight, then Not a good act.”
As soon as the supervisory army spoke, Zhang Jiankui said: “Report a market ten miles away. There are a lot of people there. You must be cautious about sending troops to the Chinese army.”
The military commander hurriedly said: “De Ling!”
…A few days later, army camps surrounded by wooden piles surrounded the camp. Numerous tents were scattered around the camp. Xu Junyingzhai rose from the ground. Outside the camp, there was an archway named “Taipingzhai” and a simple wooden arrow tower. It’s all available with sentry towers. There was no army here, and the situation was still calm. Only the scouts and local officials and civilians had several casualties.
At this time, the Jiaozhou government finally sent an envoy to meet.
Xu Jun’s forward general Feng Jiye, deputy general Zhang Jiankui, and Jianjun Zheng Xianchun met with the envoys in the Great Account of the Chinese Army. But seeing the man wearing a long robe and top of his head, if it weren’t for the difference in face from the Central Plains, and the skin color was very dark, everyone thought he was a scholar of Xu Guo.
The messenger is dark and thin, which is probably due to the too hot weather in Jiaozhou. The same literati robes and clothes always felt something wrong with him, his manners and movements were sparse and casual, and he didn’t even wear his hat.
said in an incomprehensible Chinese accent, “I came from Fudai Township, and was ordered by the envoy of this mansion to ask Xu people why they occupy my land and kill my officials and people?”
Zhang Jiankui turned his eyes slightly, and Zheng Xianchun opened his mouth and said: “Jiaozhou has been a land of’China’ since ancient times, and has been Jiaozhi County since the Qin Dynasty. Today, Emperor Xu is the co-lord of the world, and Jiaozhou is one of the many states. Wang Tu, the emperor’s army is stationed here under the sacred decree. How can it be said that Zhan’er and other land? The local chaos, the party and the people dare to harass the officers and the army, and the court orders the officials to punish them according to the law. How can they kill the officials and the people?”
The messenger heard anxious and angry: “The more there is an emperor in Da Qu, the more he is ordered by the heavens and the right words, he can calm the troubled times with his own men and horses, and is supported by the officials and the people. What is the relationship with Xu Guo?
Zheng Xianchun changed his breath and opened his mouth, “The imperial court ruled the next state to rebel, and the separatist place became the king. This is called the righteous word and submissive to the sky? It is ridiculous! If you want to negotiate terms, it is not the local government sending people to talk. Please report to Luocheng (the capital of Jiaozhou) and ask Ding Bu to send someone to talk. If you want to be justified ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ you can only be knighted by the Emperor Xu.”
The messenger was completely angry: “The messenger has already played!”
“Okay!” Zheng Xianchun said, “See you off!”
The messenger turned his head to watch the soldiers approaching, was taken aback, and then hurriedly said: “The messenger of this mansion has something to say, and I also ask the generals of Xu Jun to exercise restraint. It is no good to kill the innocent and yourself!”
As soon as the people from the Jiaozhou government left, the Chinese Army’s Great Account immediately discussed and estimated Ding Buling’s reaction. Zheng Xianchun thinks that Ding Buling should send someone to talk first, and accepting the canonization of the Central Plains dynasty and being the local emperor is something that many chieftains Fanbang are willing to do. However, Zhang Jiankui suggested strengthening vigilance. Judging from the many combat experience led by Ding Bu, he felt that there might be a risk of war.
So the Chinese army ordered all ministries to be on guard. It is not a bad thing to be cautious.
It will be impossible to build the fortress for a while. Zhang Jiankui planned a defensive strategy in advance. Relying on a small river as the frontal line of defense, the main infantry lined up on the river bank and set up land artillery formations. At this time, the large and small battleships of the Dragon Army had not left, so Naval guns support two wings on the surface of the river and the lake, and can repel a large number of incoming enemies.
This is just in case.
Unexpectedly, in less than ten days, Zhang Jiankui’s painstaking efforts have not been invalidated. The sand boat on the Taiping River returned to report, and the large group of Jiaozhou army sailed down the river and headed straight for the army village!
“Rumble” drums and vigorous horns shook the sky and the earth, and the tenacious Xu Jun soldiers gathered in groups everywhere. Most of the forwards were imperial soldiers and a few guards. The people were immediately empty, and the beacon smoke finally floated in this brand new military camp.
