Lu Qi also stood up, but asked, "General Yu, you have been in Ning** for many years, and I don't know if you can instigate Ning**."

General Yu was stunned and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. The soldiers will follow the generals. If I instigate the rebellion, I can only instigate more than 10,000 Ningguo soldiers."

Lu Qi nodded and said, "That's good. Yang Kun is now the deputy envoy of Ning** Jiedu. With your rebellion, and Yang Kun's efforts, he should be able to rebel half of Ning**. Ning**'s reward fields are almost all in Changzhou."

General Yu nodded and said, "I will do my best."

Lu Qi nodded happily, and then sent General Yu away.

After returning to the tent of Guan Chong, Guan Chong raised his politely and said, "Congratulations to the Lord. General Yu is a great talent in governing the army. It is a blessing for the Lord to receive the assistance of General Yu."

Lu Qi smiled and nodded, saying, "I didn't expect that General Yu was able to assist me, which was indeed my great blessing. With General Yu's assistance, Ning ** will basically belong to Jin."

Guan Chong nodded, Lu Qi looked at Guan Chong again and said with a smile: "Brother Guan, if you are asked to lead the army to attack Jiangling, how confident are you to succeed."

Guan Chong was stunned and said unexpectedly: "Are you not the leader leading the army when he rushed to Jiangling?"

Lu Qiyi smiled and said, "I will participate in the war and rush to Jiangling, but I am the King of Jin, so I should have the depth of the king. This time I want you to lead the army and fight. You are a descendant of Guan Yu. If you take Jiangling, you will gain more reputation and honor to you. In fact, you are already the commander of 36,000 troops. You need to be tempered and grown up and also need military merits to convince the public. You cannot always be a brave general, but should become a famous general who is well-known throughout the ages."

Guan Chong looked at Lu Qi in a daze, suddenly bowed his head and saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Lord, to give me the opportunity."

Lu Qi nodded and said, "You should have some understanding of Jiangling, go and think about how to fight."

"No! I'm leaving." Guan Chong responded respectfully and turned around and left the coach's tent.

Lu Qi looked at Guan Chong and suddenly smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, and he raised his head slightly and said to himself: "You can use me to capture the deputy envoy of the military commander. Can you tempt me to go to the trap? No matter whether you really come to the battle or not, I dare not leave my military power."

When the lights were on, Lu Qi's army quietly arrived in the Fankou area of ​​Dajiang. At this time, the sky was dark and it was not heavy. It was raining and snowing. The visibility of the river was very low. This was not a good weather, but for the army that crossed the river and attacked, if there was no knowledge of the enemy situation in Xiakou on the other side of the river, it would be God's help.

Lu Qi looked at many large ships anchored in the river, saying they were large ships, but they were obviously 40% smaller than the Min Navy's naval ships. Lu Qi already knew that because Lord Li was unwilling to attack Jing, he was not allowed to develop a naval army here in Ezhou. The court's dissatisfaction caused the naval ships in Ezhou, and the Jing Navy's navy on the opposite side, were half of the ships and were also dilapidated.

Looking at the soldiers who were trembling, Lu Qi knew that it was not because of fear, but because of the cold. Most of his more than 30,000 soldiers were from the south near the sea. When they came to the north, the soldiers were not used to the cold.

At this time, General Yu came from the nearby Ezhou army and walked to Lu Qi. He raised his mouth and said he would pay homage to the Lord. Lu Qi waved his hand and asked him to avoid the tribute. General Yu stood with Lu Qi before leaving.

"General Yu, how did you arrange crossing the river?" Lu Qi asked.

"When the navy fleet crosses the river, when approaching, first 500 vanguards take Mengchong ships to attack Xiakou, and then the large ship advances. If the large ship advances directly, it is easy to be attacked by fire. Our ships can only carry 3,000 soldiers across the river at a time. However, the enemy troops stationed in Xiakou usually only have two thousand troops, and most of the garrisons are in the rear, so they will have a period of time to obtain support from Xin." General Yu replied.

Lu Qi nodded and said, "Let's do this, the Ezhou army and my military strength will each send 1,500 soldiers across the river each time. The vanguard of Mengchong ships can have half of my military strength, which will inspire the morale of Ezhou."

General Yu thought for a moment and nodded. Lu Qi looked at the river and said, "The river surface is more than three miles long, and today it is the east wind that rebels the river. It should be able to reach the other side soon."

"It's not that easy. Although it's the east wind, it's too weak." General Yu said cautiously.

"Maybe the wind will be stronger as soon as I get on the boat." Lu Qi said with a smile.

General Yu was stunned, and Lu Qi turned his head and said, "I am the vanguard of this attack."

General Yu was stunned and suddenly Guan Chong, behind him, said anxiously: "No, if the master cannot go, the subordinates can be the pioneers."

Lu Qi turned around and laughed and scolded: "You are a pioneer, can you know how to water? But I am like a big fish in the sea. If I fall into the river, I can swim back. Are you successful?"

Guan Chong was speechless. In fact, he couldn't swim, but he quickly said: "That shouldn't be the master going up to be a pioneer."

Lu Qi turned around and looked at the river and said, "Don't worry, even if there is no boat, I can swim over. This time, crossing the river will not be able to fail. Do your duty."

General Yu didn't say anything, and Guan Chong could only wait for a military salute and remained silent. Lu Qi ordered: "Give me three pots of carved feathers."

When the guard responded, Lu Qi looked at General Yu and smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll board the ship to prepare for the war."

General Yu silently raised his tribute, and then asked Lu Qixing to go with a solemn hand. Guan Chong had no choice but to call the elite soldiers and follow Lu Qi as the pioneer with respect.

Lu Qi boarded the Ezhou Navy ship in golden armor and was with the vanguard soldiers. The Ezhou Army soon learned that the vacancies sent by the imperial court, as the vanguard general, went to attack Xiakou in danger. For a moment, the Ezhou Army was shocked, and then the fact that half of the foreign military power boarded the ship and crossed the river greatly boosted the morale of the Ezhou Army and wiped out the depression and sluggishness before the war.

At the third update, the originally weak east wind gradually became stronger. The navy began to raise sails and set sail. At the same time, the oars were helping. Lu Qi's large ship was one of the pioneers and would be ahead of other ships. He held a big bow in his left hand and looked ahead. He was wearing golden armor, which was very conspicuous within dozens of meters around him.

General Yu quietly came to Guan Chong's side. Guan Chong saw the busy army salute. General Yu nodded, looked at the river and said, "I didn't expect that you can be the commander of 30,000 troops now."

"It is the Lord's promotion. In fact, the Lord should not reuse his subordinates." Guan Chong responded.

"Oh, why?" General Yu asked.

"It's because my subordinates once had no idea of ​​being polite." Guan Chong replied, and then talked about Muzhou.

"Well, your ignorance makes him value you." General Yu said with emotion.

Guan Chong was silent, and General Yu said again: "What do you think? The Lord is the vanguard?"

"The Lord is inspiring the morale of the army and building respect for the morale of the Ezhou army. However, for the Lord, he really shouldn't have taken the risk." Guan Chong replied.

General Yu nodded and said, "The Lord was able to gain power from Changzhou, occupy Suzhou, and establish Jin State. In fact, the prestige of the military hero accounts for a large part. His initial influence on Ning** was caused by the prestige of the military hero who fought with you."

"The Lord is also a famous general who is good at fighting. In the Battle of Jurong County, the start of the Changzhou War, and the planning of the planning in Suzhou, the Lord does not know that the Lord is good at planning in Suzhou. His subordinates have heard people say it before, and it is really unbelievable." Guan Chong said in a respectful tone.

"Oh, come and listen." General Yu said calmly.

Lu Qi stood at the bow of the boat, staring sharply at the front. He and Guan Chong had discussed the wars that took place in Jingzhou, especially the Battle of Crossing the River in Xiakou. Xiakou is the mouth of the Han River flowing into the river. There have been many wars here, the most famous one is the Battle of Jiangxia.

In the late Han Dynasty, the Sun clan of Wu State occupied Jiangnan and had a naval army to capture Jiangxia many times. At that time, a person named Huang Zu guarded Jiangxia was a figure who successfully blocked the Sun clan's attack several times, but in the end it was still destroyed by the Sun clan's army.

If Guan Chongyan enters the war in Xiakou, it will not be too difficult. It is impossible for thousands of troops to be stationed in Xiakou, especially in this kind of cold weather, there will be very few military forces on duty.

The most difficult thing about Guan Chongyan was how to quickly capture Jiangling City. Jiangling City was tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Once Jiangxia was attacked, there would definitely be a rush to sue Jiangling, so even if it attacked Jiangling City, it would be difficult to break in the short term.
