Chapter 155: Attacking Sun Quan
Cao Ang’s idea was to push Xuzhou’s territory to the north bank of the Yangtze River and establish a front based on the north bank, so that it could better utilize the navy in his hands. Secondly, Sun Quan was very crazy recently, Cao Ang wanted to hurt him and make Sun Quan honest.
Cao Ang then called Gao Shun to arrive.
At that time, Gaoshun stationed troops in Baimahu. When he heard that Cao Ang was summoned, he went to the prefecture to pay a visit.
"Boping," Cao Ang waved his hand and signaled Gao Shun to look at the map in front of several cases.
"If you capture Jiangdu and then occupy the north bank of the Yangtze River, how many troops do you think you need?"
Gao Shun looked at the piece that Cao Ang made his index finger, "The Jiangdu guard is Chen Wu. This person's name is not obvious, but many people say his courage. This is not an important matter. The key is that Zhou Yu stationed his troops in Qu'a, facing the connection between the Yangtze River and Hongze Lake. If the water army moves, Zhou Yu will be alert. If he wants to occupy the north shore at that time, it will be difficult."
Cao Ang nodded, Gao Shun said it right. If you want to occupy the north bank of the Yangtze River, if you don’t move the navy, you will not be able to stand even if you fight. However, if you move the navy lightly, you will definitely be noticed by Zhou Yu at that time.
Cao Ang looked at the map and gradually became calculating in his heart, "Come."
"promise!"
"Call General Ling Cao with me."
"promise!"
"Boping will integrate the army and select elite soldiers. When Kun Tao arrives, we will discuss it."
Gao followed the sound and Cao Ang sent someone to call Chen Deng to come.
"Deng and meet the lord."
"Yuanlong, don't ask for vain rituals. I ask about it. Now in the Xuzhou treasury, there is a large army for one month to fight, no, two months of money and food?"
Chen Deng hesitated and said, "It's more than one month, but it's a little tight for two months."
Cao Ang immediately made the decision, "Okay, then this battle will be profitable and not lose money!"
"Where is the lord trying to attack?"
Cao Ang smiled and said, "North Bank of the Yangtze River!"
Not long after, Ling Cao went to the Xuzhou Prefecture Office again.
Cao Ang met Ling Cao and laughed: "Thank you for your hard work, Kuntao has another trip."
Ling Cao hurriedly said, "I don't dare."
Cao Ang sent someone to call Chen Deng, Gao Shun, pulled Ling Cao to the front of the map, pointed at one place and pointed to another place with his finger, and said with a smile: "Do Kuntao have any ideas?"
Ling Cao swallowed, stared at Cao Ang with wide eyes, feeling a little disbelief. The lord wanted to chop Sun Quan a piece of meat!
Not long after, Chen Deng and Gao Shun arrived together. Cao Ang smiled and called the two to the front of the map, "Yuanlong, Bo Ping, please listen to me."
All three stood by.
Cao Ang pointed to the map, "I am sure to get the north bank of the Yangtze River, but there are several points to consider when taking them. One is Zhou Yu, the general of Qu'a, if the navy army passes from Hongze Lake, it will be noticed."
"Kuntao, if you lead your troops to Donghai County, will you be sure to clean up the naval army on the north bank of the Yangtze River?"
Ling Cao stepped out of the line and bowed and said, "I will report to you, if you can go down, it's easy!"
"good!"
"Boping."
"The last one will be here!"
"With your five thousand troops, may you attack Jiangdu in surprise?"
"Shunding will live up to the lord's wishes!"
"good!"
"Yuanlong, do you dare to lead a army to the intersection of Hongze Lake and the Yangtze River to form a formation?"
Chen Deng smiled and said, "The lord underestimated Deng. Why don't the soldiers dare to do it?"
Cao Ang laughed and waved his hand, "I don't mean to underestimate Yuanlong. Yuanlong is not just a suspicious soldier."
Chen Deng smiled and said, "If Zhou Yu dares to come to the north bank to help, I will definitely teach him that he has suffered heavy casualties!"
Cao Ang laughed, "After this distribution is completed, everyone will prepare. I will rest for a while before moving. The soldiers are more important than speed, so don't delay the opportunity."
"promise!"
...
The white locks are everywhere in the river and the river is full of fog, and fish and dragons fly over and boats do not cross.
Ling Cao had already arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River and sent someone to send a message. He just waited for Gao Shun to come down from Jiangdu and then went to clean up the Jiangdong naval army on the north bank.
Gao Shun got the news from Cao Ang, and in the early morning, he took advantage of the heavy fog in the river wind, and led five thousand troops to quietly touch Jiangdu.
However, Sun Quan heard that Cao Ang had seized Han Shou, and before attacking Wuling, he cut and killed more than 60 people to sacrifice flags. He said that if Jingnan shouted again, he would send people to sneak into Jingzhou so arrogantly, he would have to rush his troops to Changsha!
Sun Quan was heartbroken and a little relieved. At least the training was effective. Isn’t it that there was no excuse for Cao Ang to attack?
Of course, Sun Quan did not take it lightly and ordered the generals on the border to strictly guard Jing and Xu Erzhou to move.
However, Sun Quan issued an order for half a month to come, and the wind was calm.
On this day, heavy fog blew from the river to Jiangdu, and everything was as usual, because it was still early and the city gate was not open, and the soldiers guarding the city were blown by the slight cold wind. The coldness not only did not make their minds clearer, but instead became more drier.
Gao Shun ordered the soldiers to scatter quietly, and ordered a hundred dead soldiers to go to the west gate of Jiangdu with hooks and other objects lightly.
"Click", the sound of the scratch hook gently resting on the city wall was neither too big nor too small, and Jiangdong Bing, whose head was swollen, did not hear it.
Grasping the rope, biting the sharp knife, the soft sound of the sole of the shoe rubbing against the city wall was covered by a slightly louder wind.
The sound of falling on the city wall lightly, a few muffled groans, and the sound of the city gate "clicking" sound, Gao Shun led the army into the city!
Chen Wu was still sleeping soundly, and the guards hurriedly pulled him out of the beauty's soft flesh. Chen Wu was shocked and was busy riding a horse to attract the guards to gather the army in the city.
But Gao Shun was so thief-handed that he had to guard the city gate, then led the army to the barracks, set fires everywhere, and then surrounded the soldiers, holding bows and arrows in their hands. When the Jiangdong soldiers couldn't help but run around, arrows were scattered around, and the sound of "cracking" into the flesh mixed with the screams of people being burned by fire.
When Chen Wu saw the fire in the camp, he knew that he had been defeated, and that he was defeated. Not to mention the face of the opponent's commander, he didn't even know who the opponent's commander was!
In desperation, he had to lead hundreds of cavalry to run towards the north gate, wanting to go to Shatou Town, and want to lead the three thousand infantrymen stationed there to capture Jiangdu.
Unfortunately, when he met Ling Cao who had cleared the north bank of the Yangtze River, he shot arrows in a row, and Chen Wu's men died almost all of them, and the remaining few were not deprived of the lottery.
Chen Wu was frightened. He had not fought against Cao Ang and had not taken Xuzhou for his lord. He didn't want to die!
Ling Cao couldn't bear it. After all, Ling Cao was a colleague for many years. He was not a ruthless person, so he let Chen Wu go, leaving three thousand soldiers to guard Shatou Town, and led three thousand soldiers across the river to clear the Jiangdong Army on the north bank.
At that time, Zhou Yu heard that Chen Deng’s army gathered with Hongze Lake and the Yangtze River, and hurriedly led five thousand navy troops to form a formation.
When the fog dissipated, he saw that the ship on the other side was attacking the Cao army. He didn't know what happened. Because Chen Deng was eyeing the other side, Zhou Yu did not dare to act rashly, so he sent someone to send a letter to ask Sun Quan.
The letter arrived with Chen Wu. When Sun Quan heard that Chen Wu had lost Jiangdu, he cursed and asked the swordsman to suppress Chen Wu in.
Chen Wu looked sad and said that he had led dozens of personal guards to break through the encirclement and then fought against Ling Cao for more than a hundred times before he escaped. He was snot and tears, which was so painful.
