Chapter 76

In the evening, Xiahou Yuan rode his horse back to his General Pingxi (due to his outstanding military achievements in recent months, Xiahou Yuan has been promoted from General Zhenglu to General Pingxi).

He flew off his horse and handed his beloved horse to his personal guards. Xiahou Yuan walked towards the back hall from time to time. From time to time, personal soldiers and maids bowed to salute, but Xiahou Yuan seemed to be in a very bad mood and responded lazyly.

"General, you are back!" As soon as Xia Houyuan entered the inner hall, his wife Cui came up to welcome her and changed her home clothes.

"Yeah..." Xiahou Yuan responded dullly, then lowered his head and thought silently.

"General, what's wrong?" Cui knew that Xiahou Yuan was worried when he saw him, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Are there any troubles in the army?"

"No..." Xiahou Yuan shook his head, but he still frowned and pondered. After a while, Xiahou Yuan raised his head and saw Cui looking at him, opening his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

"General, what's the matter?" Cui said with a little anxiety in his heart. Cui still remembers that Xiahou Yuan did this last time, because he married Jiangdong for his love daughter. When he thought of his love daughter, Cui felt even more sad...

"...I got a news today, which may be related to Rong'er..." Xiahou Yuan hesitated for a long time before saying it.

"What?" Cui was excited and asked anxiously, "How is Rong'er?...General, what is Rong'er?"

"...Rong'er... seems to have become a mother..." Although Xiahou Yuan still felt it was hard to speak out about his wife.

"...what?" Cui was stunned immediately, as if very shocked at the news.

After a while, he finally came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Just... was born with that Zhang Fei?" Cui learned from Xiahou Yuan that his beloved daughter fell in Shouchun, and for this reason. Cui was also very sad, worried that her beloved daughter would be bullied.

But in late April last year, an anonymous silk letter was secretly sent to Xiahou Yuan's mansion. After reading the silk book, Xiahou Yuan was shocked to find that the letter was actually from his beloved daughter, so he quickly took it to his wife Cui to identify it again.

Xiahou Rong's verbal pronunciation began with Cui, so Cui was the most clear about the handwriting of his beloved daughter. After careful identification, Cui confirmed that the letter came from his beloved daughter. After Xiahou Yuan and his wife carefully read the letter.

I couldn't help but feel surprised———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

At the same time, Xiahou Rong also begged her parents to forgive her marriage for her own initiative... Xiahou Yuan was not suspicious of the words in the letter from her beloved daughter.

It can be imagined that with Xiahou Rong's own ability, it is absolutely impossible for him to send this letter from Shouchun to Xuchang, and throw it into his mansion without knowing it. From this point of view, it must have been sent by Zhang Fei.

Being able to take such a risk for an ordinary family letter shows how much Zhang Fei attaches importance to Xiahou Rong...

But despite this, Xiahou Yuan still finds it difficult to accept the bizarre thing about his beloved daughter marrying the enemy. What is even more embarrassing is that he had captured his "son-in-law" alive on the battlefield. After thinking about it, Xiahou Yuan finally decided to conceal the matter.

He warned Cui not to tell anyone about this bizarre marriage, even for other family members. Therefore, except for Xiahou Yuan and his wife, no third person knew about it under Cao Cao's rule.

"When I was discussing today, I got the news that Zhang Fei had recently received a son and Shouchun celebrated the city!" Xiahou Yuan sighed, "From the marriage day mentioned in Rong'er's letter, it has been nearly October so far..."

"..." Cui looked surprised and happy on his face. At the same time, he was a little worried, "I don't know whether it was a man or a woman... Rong'er's body was not like what happened..." For a moment, Cui actually felt like she was a grandmother for the first time.

Xiahou Yuan had several sons and one daughter. Although his eldest son Xiahou Heng married, he had not yet had a heir. So, speaking of this, if Xiahou Rong really gave birth to a son, he would be the first grandchild of Xiahou Yuan and Cui.

"General. Can you find a way to send a letter to Rong'er for me..." Cui begged Xiahou Yuan.

"...Huh!" Xiahou Yuan pondered for a long time. He sighed and said, "Well. The Prime Minister will send someone to Shouchun in the near future. He congratulates Guan Yunchang's marriage. I think of some ways to ask the envoy to send the letter to Shouchun..."

"Thank you, General!" Cui was extremely happy and rushed back to the inner room to prepare a letter...

"Misfortune..." Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said helplessly to himself, "...Zhang Fei, if he dares to treat my daughter badly, I will have to tear him into pieces..."

…………………………………………..

On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Jian'an, I rushed all the way and finally returned to Moling. Immediately, I quickly recruited the generals of the army, Pang Tong, Jian Yong and others to conduct an emergency military discussion.

Pang Tong first simply congratulated me on my "twins of dragon and phoenix", and then reported to me in detail about the latest situation of the Sui Ji———— Based on the detailed investigation and the situation that Quan Fan got from his old clan of Kuaiji, Pang Tong believed that Lu Dai and He Qi's attack on Shanyue were indeed to "replenish troops through battle", rather than deliberately setting up a trap to lure our army into the attack.

Based on many aspects, Pang Tong judged that in addition to the He Qi army that conquered Shanyue, the garrison in Kuaiji would not exceed 3,000, and there were probably many new recruits.

"Join the army! With such military strength in Kuaiji, can we go down in one go?" After hearing Pang Tong's analysis, Guan Ping asked in a little puzzled manner, "Why is Lu Dai so bold that he ordered He Qi to attack the Yue tribe in a situation where self-protection is not enough? Aren't he afraid that our army will take the opportunity to attack?"

"Haha..." Pang Tong smiled calmly, and his originally ugly face also became pleasing to the eye because of this confident spirit. "It was Lu Dai's last resort to attack Shanyue.

The territory of Kuaiji is vast and the population is extremely sparse. The population of the whole county is not enough for Danyang. The number of Wu County is four or four (1/4), and the elderly, weak, women and children must be eliminated. It is even more difficult for Lu Dai to recruit soldiers through ordinary channels.

Only Lu Dai had no other plan to "replenish troops through battle and increase households"... Moreover, Lu Dai should also know that our army was recruiting soldiers in Danyang and Wujun Guang. If he could not raise enough troops in the shortest time, the day when our new recruits were finished training will be at his disposal.

How can he not be anxious?”

Paused.

Pang Tong continued to analyze: "As for saying that going down to Kuaiji in one go, it may not be that easy. One, according to the detailed reward, Lu Dai has made strict defenses on the south bank of Fuchun River to prevent our army from attacking; the other, if the situation is critical, Lu Dai can also second the troops from the Kuaiji clan's wealthy clans.

According to the Wujun Quan Prefecture estimate, it is not a problem for the major clans of Kuaiji to gather 5,6,000 private soldiers! Therefore, the attack on Kuaiji may not be as simple as imagined..."

"Does Shi Yuan think it is not appropriate to enter Kuaiji at this moment? Why is it different from what you said in the previous episode..." Jian Yong gently stroked his chin and said in confusion.

"No!" Pang Tong shook his head and smiled. "Tong always believed that it was a great opportunity to seize Kuaiji, but Tong also wanted to remind all the officials———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

If you have a slight intention, you will not only be able to seize the land, but also have the possibility of losing your halberd and sinking into the sand!"

"Shi Yuan, what do you think the key to attacking Kuaiji?" In my opinion, the meaning of Pang Tong's words is not difficult to understand. Strategically, you can despise your opponent. Tactically, you must pay attention to your opponent.

"General, in Tong's opinion, you need to pay attention to these places to guide Kuaiji..." Pang Tong knew that I understood his meaning, and his spirit was even more vigorous and he said confidently.

"First of all, to seize Kuaiji, we must 'take the opportunity'! With our army alone, when the enemy is prepared, forcibly attacking will inevitably be severely blocked. In this way, not only will the progress be slow, but it will also consume a large amount of troops.

On the contrary, if you can borrow the power of other countries, use it for my own use, and cooperate with me, you can achieve miraculous results. In general, there are three forces that can be borrowed in Kuaiji County———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

He Qi, the commander of the Pingyue Army of Kuaiji, was good at using troops and had thousands of elite soldiers under his command. If Shanyue did not drag this person down, it would definitely affect our attack...... The major clans of Kuaiji could gather thousands of private soldiers. If he was used by Lu Dai, it would be a great obstacle, but if it could be used by us.

But he can be a great helper. I know that all the prefects of Wujun are in Kuaiji. If he gets help from him, he will lead the clans of Kuaiji to use for our army. It is impossible.

Most of the soldiers under Lu Dai were locals in Kuaiji. They were close to the countryside and were familiar with the right place, but they also had great flaws. Just imagine, if they had their father, mother, wife, and son summoned them, what would these soldiers in Kuaiji..."

"You will collapse without fighting!" Lin Xue looked at Pang Tong with shock in her face and said.

"...Well" I nodded slightly and thought about Pang Tong's words.

It can be said that Pang Tong's series of "taking advantage" proposals were not only considered comprehensively, but also bleak and "vicious". What's even more terrifying is that every proposal is practical! It not only restrains and dismantles the enemy from the inside.

"Secondly, when we attack Kuaiji, we should not ignore how many troops and horses our army will be dispatched and which ones we dispatch! Using too many troops will inevitably lead to the emptiness of Danyang and Wujun's troops, which will give the enemy inside and outside the country an opportunity to take advantage of. I think Sun Quan's desire to lose the land again will definitely not be eliminated.

On the contrary, if there are too few troops, it may not be able to attack Kuaiji." Pang Tong continued, "In addition, although there are nearly 40,000 troops in Danyang and Wujun, more than half of them are recruiting less than 3 months of recruitment.

Although you are practicing day and night, these new recruits may still be a little different from going into battle to defeat the enemy. If you attack Kuaiji, these new recruits should not be used easily!"

Some new recruits in the hall showed anger, as if they were very unhappy with Pang Tong's words, so they wanted to come out to argue, but I stopped them with gestures.

"Again, when you attack Kuaiji, you have to consider the possible reaction of Sun Quan..." Pang Tong seemed to have not seen the slightest commotion in the hall and continued, "Once it is attacked, Lu Dai will definitely ask Sun Quan for help, and Sun Quan may not sit idly by and watch Kuaiji's mistake..."

Pang Tong has almost expressed all the key issues that he needs to pay attention to when he entered Kuaiji. Most people in the conference hall, including me, in the mainland, were in deep thought...

Everyone discussed this series of issues in detail...

In the evening of that day, I sent fast horses to Wujun, Taiping and Nanxu respectively and began a large-scale mobilization of troops. - From Moling, 3,000 people from Quan Cong, Lang Wu, Quan Cheng and other three qu were transferred to Wujun for the purpose of attacking Kuaiji; from Taiping, Liao Hua Langya Camp and another qu of soldiers went to Wujun; from Nanxu to recruit 1,000 troops to reinforce Wujun; from Moling, Tiger Spear and Xiong Gun Second Battalion, Li Yan, Hao Zhao and other 8 qus, a total of 10,000 soldiers were stationed in Taiping County; from Wujun to Wujun, 4,000 new recruits were transferred to Moling; from Wujun to recruit Ding Feng's troops from Jinfan Navy to Wujun on standby...

After this mobilization, Wujun will roughly have 15,000 soldiers. More than 10,000 soldiers have experienced battle formations, and their combat power is incomparable to those rookies and new recruits. I plan to use these soldiers as the main force to attack Kuaiji.

After the war, there were more than 4,000 new soldiers in Wujun, and it was enough to shock those ill-behaved people. The garrison in Danyang will remain at more than 20,000, including the Tiger and Bear Battalions, as well as the newly formed Wudang Feijun.

Although the Danyang garrison is mostly new, it is more than 20,000 people. Lujiang is also the corner, so it should be enough for local defense.

After all the orders were issued, Mao Rong, the deputy commander of the Wudang Fei Army, came to see me with Guan Ping and asked me to allow the Wudang Fei Army to go to Kuaiji. Mao Rong was the eldest son of the Shanyue clan and had longed for our army's attack on Kuaiji.

But in the end, I still did not agree to his request for battle. After more than two months of hard work in Guan Ping, the current Wudang Flying Army has already taken a certain position, but compared with our requirements, it is still quite a distance. It is not a good idea to send Wudang Flying Army at this time.

But I also promised Mao Rong that once the flying army is well trained, I will be allowed to fight immediately.

…………………………………….

On the 26th day of the first lunar month, the last batch of troops entered Wujun, and my generals also came with the army. This time, the generals of Kuaiji were led by Weidong General Wei Yan as the main general, and the Pinglu Clerk Liao Hua as the deputy, Quan Cong, Lang Wu, Quan Cheng and other generals followed the army to fight, and recruited Yuhang Order, and took the charcoal commander Lu Xun as the staff officer.
