It’s the last day of the ban, and I also “rbitrarily” lifted the ban again. I hope everyone will enjoy it!

In June of the sixth year of Jian'an, early summer began to mature early rice in the areas south of the Jianghuai River (during the Three Kingdoms period, rice ripening can be achieved in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and in some places in Wujun, it can even be achieved in three ripening a year). The people of Hefei, Tutang and Tuzhong counties in Linnan in Shouchun County began to harvest some rice in batches under the unified arrangement of local officials to alleviate the dilemma of military food shortage. After several states suffered a large-scale drought last year, the weather this year was surprisingly beautiful, and there was a rare good weather. Sun Gan, Chen Zhen and others. The measures to promote agriculture that have been carefully carried out have also shown good results, and the grain harvest is obviously better than in previous years. Seeing that the harvest is in sight, the people are all very happy. In the chaotic years, the famine may be the "good opportunity" to display their ambitions that heroes have been looking forward to. But for the people - "chaotic times" means displacement, enduring hunger and freezing, and losing their lives without paying attention. Therefore, it is a great blessing to have a place to live and work in peace, meet the "Qingtian parents" who can treat them well, and have a good year, and be able to eat three meals a day to fill it!

After more than three months of training, Gan Ning's naval army "Jinfan Camp" has basically become an army. According to him, as long as it is not a large tower ship of the Jiangdong naval army and the Jingzhou naval army, the fighting ships face a head-on confrontation, the "Jinfan Camp" is definitely not a problem! Gan Ning is not a stubborn person. He dares to "promote Haikou" like this and must have great confidence. Perhaps in the eyes of him, the "water overlord", the two strongest waters in the world The army - Jiangdong Navy and Jingzhou Navy are nothing at all! Apart from the "Jinfan Camp", the "tiger gun", "bear gun", "wolf teeth" and other battalions of soldiers stationed in Hefei have undergone hard training and have made great changes and progress. At least - they are no longer as "fearing like a tiger" as before, and can master the basic key points of ship control. The problem of disagreement between the north and the south, which is more worrying, is gradually overcome after more than three months.

Chaohu Military Camp, Central Army Main Position

"General, I heard that Mi has built several new warships. When will it be allocated to our "Jinfan Camp"?" Gan Ning rubbed his hands with a little anxiety and said with a smile.

"It's almost! You'll be able to arrive at Chaohu Lake tomorrow!" I browsed the information sent from Shouchun and replied casually: "The first batch of ships sent were only three Mengchong (an ancient offensive medium-sized clutch with good protection, narrow and long, fast speed, and was specially used to assault enemy ships. Usually, it is made of raw cowhides, and opens crossbow windows and spear holes, and uses oars as power). There are also several Mengchong still under construction, but it will take at least half a month to send it!"

"Uncle San, how can I build Mengchong without building a few tower ships and fighting ships (note: the battle ship, an ancient large warship; the tower ship, an ancient giant warship. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, the tower ships in the Han Dynasty were divided into three floors, more than 10 meters high, and could take hundreds of soldiers!). Didn't the Jiangdong and Jingzhou naval troops have these?" Guan Ping asked in confusion.

"Haha... it's not that I don't want to build it, but I can't make it!" I put down the silk book in my hand and replied with a smile: "Building a fighting ship is too difficult. The ship workers recruited by Zizhong do not have this skill, and it takes too much time to build these big ships, so it is not useful for the time being! Dingguo, you can ask Xingba for advice on this!"

"The general said it is right!" Gan Ning saw Guan Ping turn his gaze to him and said with a smile: "It requires too many people to use the fighting ship to control the tower ship. It is really troublesome, and more time must be spent on practice. When I was still doing the 'buying' on the river, I once grabbed a fighting ship from Liu Yao's army, but later I thought it was troublesome and threw it away again! Hehe... Mengchong is the most practical, and we can fight a war and move forward and back freely!"

"Oh~! So that's it!" Guan Ping nodded suddenly, then bowed to Gan Ning and said, "Thank you Brother Gan for your advice!"

"Haha... Dingguo, why are you polite to Lao Gan for this little thing?" Wei Yan grinned and said. These days, Guan Ping has always followed me and participated in the training of military soldiers. He has long been familiar with Wei Yan, Gan Ning and others. Guan Ping is humble and does not put on any airs in the army just because he is my nephew. Wei Yan, Gan Ning and others are generous and not care about minor details. After one or two months, they become brothers. In this way, even Wei Yan and Gan Ning have become my juniors!

"Wenda, there is still food and grass in the camp, how many days can it take to support the army?" I turned to Li Tong, who was standing quietly beside him. Since Li Tong had served as the garrison of a county and was still very good at scheduling food and grass, before he could find a better person to replace him, he could only take care of food and grass.

"General, don't worry, the camp's food and grass can be used for more than two months. Yesterday, County Magistrate Deng just allocated a batch of new grain to come!" Li Tong said in a calm and harmonious expression.

"General, our soldiers are almost done, and we have no shortage of food, grass, weapons, and other things. It's time to fight with the grandsons of the Jiangdong Army!" Wei Yan said to me hurriedly. The soldiers who had been practicing in Chaohu for several months had caused Wei Yan to be very worried.

"Haha... it's not yet possible, the time is not yet ripe!" I looked at the silk book on the table, and shook my head with a smile. It was a pity that Xu Shu's counter-espionage plan had created a lot of momentum in the six counties of Jiangdong some time ago, but it did not play any substantial role: Zhou Yu, the most dangerous opponent in the Jiangdong army, was not removed from military power by Sun Quan because of rumors. It seems that although Sun Quan is not old, he is quite mature and experienced in dealing with things. No wonder he can become a generation of heroes who will compete with his elder brother and Cao Cao in the future!

Giving a child should be like Sun Zhongmou! It is not a waste of fame!

"Report! Shouchun is urgent!" Just as I was feeling emotion, someone outside the tent suddenly reported loudly.

Shouchun’s urgent documents??!!! Did something big happen to Shouchun? Under my instructions, Guan Ping took out the bill and took the urgent documents from the reported soldiers and submitted them to me.

I opened the sealing bag, took out the silk book of Moji Shangxin, and quickly browsed it.

"General, is there something important happening in Shouchun?" Wei Yan asked anxiously when he saw my face gradually becoming sober.

After hearing Wei Yan's inquiry, I did not answer immediately, but closed my eyes and lowered my head to ponder.

Seeing that I was so expressionless, the generals in the tent knew that something extremely important must have happened, but they did not dare to disturb my thoughts. They had to stare at me quietly with concentration, and for a moment, the tent was as quiet as if nothing had happened!

"Bang!" I slapped the table suddenly, and a smile appeared faintly at the corner of my mouth.

"Uncle San...what is wrong?" All the generals and schoolmen in the tent were startled by the loud noise and stared at me in surprise. Guan Ping asked softly under the gesture of Wei Yan's eyes.

"The time is ripe!" I raised my head, and a captivating light shot out from my eyes, and said loudly.

The time is ripe??!!!!!! Everyone in the tent didn't realize it for a while and didn't understand what I meant. After a moment, Li Tong first came over and said with joy: "General, you mean... the time to go south to Jiangdong is ripe??!!!"

"Going south to Jiangdong?!!!!!! Really, General?" Wei Yan asked anxiously in surprise and joy.

"Not bad! It's time, hahaha..." I said with a long laugh.

"Hahaha... It's great!" Wei Yan heard my affirmative answer and immediately celebrated Gan Ning next to him with boxing. The rest of the people also seemed very excited.

"General, why is the time ripe suddenly? What did you say in the urgent case from Shouchun?" After a while, Li Tong, who had always been calm, recovered from his excitement and asked in surprise.

"Hehe... I can't explain it clearly in a few words, you can read it yourself!" I said and handed the silk book to Li Tong.

Li Tong opened the silk book, looked at a few lines and shouted in shock: "The prefect of Wu County Sheng Xian and Wuzhong, the prominent clans in Kuaiji raised troops to rebel against Sun Quan!..." (Note: Sheng Xian has indeed had a person in history, and has a deep relationship with the Sun family. It is said that during the murder of Sun Ce, Sheng Xian had participated in it. Later, Sheng Xian was killed by Sun Quan, and Sheng Xian's former official Guilan, Dai Yuan then killed Quan's brother Sun Yi. The "Biography of the Wu Zong Family of the Three Kingdoms" records that "Sun Quan killed the prefect of Wu County Sheng Xian")

"What?!!!!" Wei Yan, who was beside him, leaned over in surprise after hearing this, and read the silk book with Li Tong.

When Li Tong saw Wei Yan leaning over, his brows frowned slightly, and a hint of unhesitation appeared on his face. Although Li Tong had already defected to our army, he was always angry with Wei Yan, who had "deceived" him at the time and never paid attention to him. But Wei Yan seemed to never take Li Tong's dissatisfaction with him in his eyes, and was very "kind" to Li Tong!

"Ha... Even Liu Biao sent troops to attack Sun Quan. Now Sun Quan will be 'hard' to death! General, if we get another kick, there will be a good show, hahaha..." Wei Yan said with a laugh after reading the silk book quickly.

"Is General, the prefect of Wu County Sheng Xian raised an army to rebel against Sun Quan? Is it a plan taken by Xu Junzheng?" After reading it, Li Tong passed the silk book to Gan Ning and asked me.

"It shouldn't be!" After a brief thought, I said in a voice: "First of all, this silk book does not say that this matter is related to our army. If it was really planned by Yuan Zhi, it should be mentioned in the letter. Secondly, Wenda, have you noticed that the day when Sheng Xian was against the contrary, it was less than two days apart when Liu Biao sent troops. From Wujun to Jingzhou, even if there was no obstacle on the road, it would definitely not be reached in two days. The time of these two sides cooperated so cleverly that there must be some connection in advance. If someone incited Sheng Xian to rebel, the possibility of Liu Biao's army was far greater than that of our army!"

"Yeah!" Li Tong nodded and said in a deep voice: "What the general said makes sense! If so, just look at Liu Biao's attack on Jiangdong this time, which incited Sheng Xian to rebel, and also sent a letter to invite our army to send troops together. I'm afraid Liu Biao intended to pacify Jiangdong in one fell swoop!"

"I'm afraid that's the case!" I nodded, but a little confused in my heart. After entering Jingzhou, Liu Biao seemed not the kind of person with a strong ambition. Otherwise, he would not have been watching Sun Ce grow from weak to strong and gradually grow even though he was dominating the nine counties of Jingxiang and far stronger than Sun's family. But why, today, Liu Biao turned out to be normal and wanted to defeat Jiangdong in one fell swoop with such a positive attitude? What is the reason for this?

I really can't figure out the reason!

"General, Liu Biao really made up his mind this time. He sent troops from Changsha and Jiangxia at the same time, and actually used an army of 300,000! 300,000?!!! Are there so many people in the Jingzhou army?" Gan Ning said with a little puzzled.

"Haha... Guard Gan, this 300,000 is a false number, and the real military horse can reach 150,000! Cao Cao used to love playing this trick, which scares people!" Lin Bao said with a faint smile.

"But even if there are only 150,000, it is enough for the Jiangdong Army to bear it! As far as I know, the generals of the Jiangdong Army will not exceed 70,000." Gan Ning thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Whether it will make the Jiangdong Army uncomfortable depends on who the commander general of the Jingzhou Army is!" I said with a smile, "If it is for someone like Kuai Yue who is good at military affairs, the Jiangdong Army will be truly in pain; but if it is someone like Huang Zu..."

"Huang Zu??!!!!!!Damn, letting this old boy lead the army and not defeating the Jingzhou army would be a good thing!" Gan Ning immediately cursed hatefully when he heard Huang Zu's name. When Gan Ning went to Jingzhou to join the army, he was driven out after being sarcastic by Huang Zu. Later, he met Wei Yan by chance and joined our army. Although Gan Ning once joked that if it weren't for Huang Zu's "looking down on others", he wouldn't have had his good luck today. But when Huang Zu mentioned this, Gan Ning still couldn't contain his anger.

"General, in fact, there are quite a few generals in the Jingzhou army who are used to fighting! Before I went to Runan to join the lord and general, I met a general of the Jingzhou army who was about the same age as me. That kid had a very good effort." Wei Yan seemed to recall some of the past and whispered.

"Oh~!" The opponent that could make Wei Yan praise is indeed good. I asked curiously: "Wen Chang, do you know the name of that person?"

"After fighting with him, I informed each other of their names. The boy was named Wenpin, who was already the captain of the Jingzhou Army at that time!"

Wenpin!! No wonder! In the original historical trajectory, there were only two people in the Jingzhou army who could be called the top general, and these two people came from the same place - Huang Zhong, Nanyang and Wenpin from Nanyang!

"General, since Sun Quan is difficult to deal with now, he has to take advantage of his illness to kill him. Let's send troops too!" Gan Ning said excitedly.

"Of course, how can you miss such a good opportunity? And the big brother and Yuan Zhi passed this information so quickly, the meaning is already very obvious!"

"Map!" I ordered my personal soldiers to hang the map, walked closer, and found Hefei, where Chaohu was located.

"Our goal of using troops this time is very simple - to seize Lujiang, first eliminate all Sun Quan's forces in Jiangbei! After stabilizing Jiangbei, then look for an opportunity to cross the river south. Wenda, you immediately mobilize the baggage team and prepare food and grass for marching and combat!"

"Get orders!" Li Tong responded with a sigh.

"Wen Chang, Xingba, Zichong, Zifeng, Wen'an, Yuan Jian, you can return to the camp to purify the army and horses, prepare to return to Hefei, and plan to attack Lujiang!"

"Get orders!"

Finally, I turned to Guan Ping and said, "Dingguo, you will go back to Shouchun with me and I will send 1,000 Feng Cavalry to Hefei in case I take Lujiang! The faster this matter is, the better, and you can set off immediately!"

"Yes, Uncle San!"
