Chapter 487 Route battle
Zhu Jun was stationed in Zhongmu for a while last year and had some impression of the climate characteristics of this area, but he was not as sensitive as Guo Jia. He had been fighting for many years and had experience in Jiaozhou, and had a personal experience of the harm of the rainy season. Zhang Hong reminded him that he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly asked Wenyun to send someone to inform the battalions to prepare, especially the large number of bamboo and wood cutting and rafting. Water accumulates on the flat ground and is difficult to walk. With bamboo rafts, the rafts are much more convenient. He also ordered people to prepare a large amount of firewood to boil water and prepare medicinal materials to deal with gastrointestinal diseases caused by floods.
Sun Ce seized the opportunity to move to the camp. He was originally on the west bank of Langdang Canal, but now he is going to move to the west of Junyi City. Guo Jia has sufficient preparations and the terrain survey is very detailed. The fifty ships that Zhu Jun drove smoothly moved to the gap. Fortunately, these ships are not tower ships, otherwise they would not be able to carry them.
Of course, Gong Du was responsible for these hard work. Most of his soldiers were from farmers and were very good at doing these jobs, even better than Sun Ce expected. Sun Ce had no worries at all, so Gong Du completed the task smoothly.
Sun Ce stood on a slope and watched Gongdu command get off the ship, feeling happy.
"General, do you know where this place is?" Guo Jia stomped his feet and asked with a smile.
Sun Ce shook his head and looked at Zhang Hong. "Mr. Zigang, I'm idle, just talk about the past."
Zhang Hong smiled. "Junyi was originally the Qifeng City of Cang City of Zheng, but was later occupied by Wei. King Hui of Wei built Daliang City here, luring rivers into the fields, digging gulfs, and rushing rivers and Huai Rivers to create a career, and Daliang became a famous town in the east. At that time, Wei State was strong and envoys exchanged with many stories. Mencius saw King Hui of Liang here, and your ancestor, Sun Bin, was framed by his senior brother Pang Juan and almost died here. But I really don't know which story is related to this mound, so please tell me filial piety."
Guo Jia smiled but said nothing. Seeing him keeping a secret, Sun Ce urged him with his shoulders. "Tell me, don't show off your knowledge in front of the gentleman."
Guo Jia turned around and pointed to the southeast. "Mr. I haven't been to Daliang, so I may not know so much, but what happened to Fengze must have."
Zhang Hong said oh, and was also a little surprised. "This is where King Hui of Wei led the princes to pay tribute to the Emperor Zhou?"
Guo Jia nodded with a smile. "I heard from others too."
Sun Ce looked confused. What does it mean, do you bully illiterate?
Zhang Hong smiled and said, "General, the first one to dominate the State of Wei after the three families divided Jin. However, Wei was too arrogant and was attacked by Qin Qi on both sides. He failed to handle the relationship between the two allies of Han and Zhao. He fought on all sides and his national strength declined. After King Hui of Wei ascended the throne, he had to move the capital from Anyi to Daliang and embarked on a series of alliances. Finally, at Fengze, the princes met here and went to the emperor to respect the king and dominate the king. Therefore, he attacked Qi, forcing the King of Qi to swear with Wei here. Fengxiao must have hoped that the general could follow King Hui of Wei to respect the emperor and dominate the world. Fengxiao, am I right?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Mr. He is well-versed in the past and the present, and what he said is naturally reasonable."
"But I heard Fengxiao's voice, and it seemed that I still had an unfinished meaning."
"It's the sir who has not finished his intentions."
Zhang Hong sighed lightly, and wanted to speak but stopped. Guo Jia glanced at Zhang Hong with narrow eyes. Seeing this, Pang Tong smiled and said, "Mr. Fengxiao, I think you misunderstood Mr. Zigang's meaning."
"Oh, Shi Yuan, tell me."
"Mr. Zigang and you have the same fate, and it is no different. But he hopes to follow the trend and not rush to achieve success. Although King Hui of Wei forced Qi to join the alliance here, wasn't he still defeated later? He was defeated in Qi in the east, humiliated Qi in the south, lost in Qin in the west, lost in Guiling in the west, and lost in Maling in the west, and the Wei State was in a slump from then on. If he was not so blindly fighting in all directions and exhausted his national strength, why did he do this?"
Guo Jia touched Pang Tong's head. "Shi Yuan has made great progress recently. Mr. Zigang, what do you think?"
Zhang Hong nodded with a smile. "Shi Yuan has made great progress recently. When I see him, I feel that he is about to be old."
Guo Jia quickly shook his head. "Sir, I have a serious opinion, but I don't have that."
"It's okay, you and I are both strategists, and it is normal for disagreement to have different opinions. Please seek common ground while reserving differences. General Mingrui, he knows how to choose, and I will just say something."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Sun Ce also laughed, but he smiled bitterly. These are all human spirits. If you want to control them well, you can't be careless for a while. Maybe they will be upset at any time and leave. Fortunately, Zhang Hong and Guo Jia are really just different from the rush and there is no difference in principle, otherwise they will not be able to cooperate, and it is even more impossible to make such jokes.
In general, he still tends to listen to Zhang Hong's opinions on this grand strategy. Guo Jiaming is obsessed with it, but he is too eager to make contributions and has the possibility of making a rash move. Zhang Hong is a bit conservative, but he is not pedantic, but he just doesn't want to be too anxious and too sharp. He is besieged by all parties like Wei State, exhausted from running, and finally exhausts national strength.
Even if a country is big, it will perish if it is wary. This is not empty talk. No one who is powerful and powerful will end up with a good outcome.
When they were using the past to describe the present and discussing strategies, Gong Du had already transported all fifty ships to the shore of the Great Gou and sent someone to inform Sun Ce that he could cross the water. Considering such a big movement, it was impossible for the other side to see it. There would definitely be a confrontation when crossing the river. It was necessary to send capable people to seize the beachhead. Sun Ce had no intention of handing over this task to Gong Du from the beginning. His subordinates were still some distance away from the real elite. It was not worth fighting rashly.
Many generals like to use the old and weak soldiers as cannon fodder, consuming the opponent's arrows and morale, and finally using the elite to decide the outcome. Of course, this makes sense. Those with weak combat power will be eliminated, and the rest will be strong. But Sun Ce doesn't like it. He would rather eliminate the weak and let them go to farm than treat them as cannon fodder. This may be the kindness of a woman, and there is a lesson of not controlling the soldiers without compassion, but he just can't do so cold-blooded.
"Go and invite King Chen." Sun Ce said to Chen Dao.
Chen Dao responded, turned over and ran away with a dozen knights.
As Sun Ce expected, shortly after Chen Dao left, a knight appeared opposite the gate. Smoke and dust rose, and more and more infantrymen appeared on the other side. Sun Ce came to the shore and found that Cao Ang was opposite, which coincided with the message Zhang Chao had told him. There were three people around Cao Ang, a scholar in Confucian shirt and two generals in armor, who should be Chen Gong, Cao Ren and Wei Zhen.
Sun Ce said loudly: "Cao Zixiu, why don't you come here? We're meeting again. Don't imitate your father and leave without fighting."
Cao Ang was embarrassed and looked back at Cao Ren. Cao Ren nodded encouragement. Cao Ang mustered up the courage and said loudly: "General Sun, this time he will be with him to the end. He will never give up without a chance of winning or losing!"
