Is Gan Ning asking casually?
Obviously not.
Gan Ning doesn't seem to be very fond of Shamoke. Gan Ning has a rough and delicate personality, so she is somewhat disliked by Shamoke who is unrestrained.
The problem is that Shamoke didn't know this, or he thought it was not a big deal, but it did not mean that he wouldn't look at his face. Although Zhuge Liang comforted him, Shamoke's face was still not very refreshing when he looked at Gan Ning, but he was nervous.
Zhuge Liang stood up with a smile, took tea from the guard beside him, poured it on Shamoke, "Drinking tea. Tea needs hot drinks to last forever." He looked at Shamoke's still a little frightened expression, and smiled and said, "Captain Sha, don't worry. Think about it, General Gan asked me about these things for? Isn't it just to help you sit in the position of the Wuling Barbarian King? Otherwise, what will we ask you to do here? In fact, in General Gan and I, you have long been the Wuling Barbarian King, but...
At the beginning, Shamoke couldn't hide the smile on his face, and his mouth was about to grin on the back of his head. As a result, he heard Zhuge Liang say "but", and then he banged in his heart, and was pulled to his throat again. His hands trembled, and most of the bowl of tea soup fell on his palms. However, he didn't care that the tea soup was hot, so he asked urgently: "Zhuge is engaged, I... I admire the cavalry very much. What I said to my subordinates before were all bastards, and they were all drunk... General Gan! Zhuge is engaged! Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously!"
Zhuge Liang laughed and comforted, "Sha Headmaster, don't worry, sit down, talk. General Gan and I are just reminding you... It's not a bad thing to want fame and position... The soldiers and generals under the cavalry also follow the Han ranks, from the lowest level of the tent to the Sima Junhou General, all have levels... Why do you have these levels? Just want to give people a thought and a goal... For example, I am now in an official position, but the other court position is Shangshu Lang. Going forward, I am the Minister of the Secretariat. The purpose of my visit to Sichuan is to accumulate merits and be promoted as soon as possible. General Gan is General Zhe Chong, and he also wants to go further, such as Fenwu and Fenwei... and so on."
『It's like a ladder, everyone is moving up step by step, this is hope...』 Zhuge Liang smiled, 『What about my talents, it's good to be able to achieve a thousand stones, General Gan has extraordinary skills and a long-term future, and he will eventually be promoted to Zhengzhen in one day...』
Gan Ning's face was flushed when Zhuge Liang said this, and he tried hard to keep the corners of his mouth from running towards his ears. He just waved his hands around, but he couldn't bear to say a denied word. Gan Ning naturally understood that this writing was just Zhuge Liang's intentional show of kindness, but everyone wanted to listen to nice words, not to mention that Gan Ning also longed to take a step forward in his heart. Who doesn't want to have a good voice when he licked blood on the knife? Could it be that he would be happy to be shot to death by a barbarian next time he went to fight?
Gan Ning dared not expect a higher position, but the generals of the four towns still Gan Ning really longed to be able to reach it with his toes.
Zhuge Liang bowed to Gan Ning, and then continued to say to Shamoko: "Teacher Sha, although I don't know very well how your positions are divided, but... You promised to be the left and right generals for your two subordinates. No matter whether it was earlier or not, just say how many merits you have to be able to firmly hold the right and right generals? Sha, you are extremely brave and have no problem as the King of Wuling. So do these two subordinates have the ability to match the left and right generals? If you don't have this ability and are easily defeated, what will others think of you? And from the beginning, you have raised your two subordinates to the right and left and right generals. Then, will they go up? The left and right king? So what is the difference between you? If you don't improve them and improve others, will they feel comfortable? Sha, we are all for your own good... You have to think carefully..."
Shamoke is not too stupid. After Zhuge Liang said this, he understood the truth after thinking about it. He stood up and saluted Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang, and then said in shame: "I understand, this... I did something wrong... But what should I do now? Me, I...'
Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning looked at each other and did not speak immediately.
"Oh! I was wrong! Damn it, I'm really..." Shamoke slapped his mouth, then looked at Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang with a gaze, "I... If I tell them I regret it, I'm afraid... Alas, this..."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Sha Headmaster Chongxinfu, this is very good. As the upcoming Wuling Barbarian King, you need to be trusted in front of the tribe and other southern barbarians... so you need to be cautious and not promise easily... This is really for your own good..."
Zhuge Liang's eyes were clear and his attitude was sincere.
Shamoke was so moved that he burst into tears. He nodded repeatedly, and then looked at Zhuge Liang expectantly, "Zhuge is engaged in this, what should I do now?"
Zhuge Liang had an idea, but he did not laugh loudly as described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to express what the child knew what to do. Instead, he frowned and thought seriously. When Shamoke was obviously a little restless, he slowly said: "Is it possible? I only think of one thing for the time being... This is something, you have to find General Gan..."
Gan Ning raised his head and stopped the pen signing, "Hmm? Me?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "It's true. Leader Sha, you are the Wuling Barbarian King personally conferred by General Cavalry. Although the edict is still on the way, it is basically a matter of certainty... Since you have accepted the enthronement of the Han Dynasty, your subordinates naturally need to have the enthronement of the Han Dynasty to be considered legitimate, right? General Gan, he also has some positions as the lieutenant. You might as well ask your subordinates first whether to get the official position of the Han Dynasty first, or wait until the edict is delivered and returned to Wuling before everyone can divide the enthronement together..."
"That's all right?" Shamoko turned to Gan Ning in a daze.
Gan Ning frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded, "This is a good idea. You have not broken your promise, but have brought you a formal position in the Great Man. When you are promoted, you will go to the Great Man position. This will not only allow them to have no complaints, but also have sufficient motivation to obtain more merits... Not bad, good, good way!"
After hearing Gan Ning say the same thing, Shamoke naturally responded. He happily waited for Gan Ning to fill out two insignificant lieutenant appointment documents. After thanking Gan Ning Zhuge Liang, he took the lieutenant to find his two subordinates, and Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, what you asked me to do is done..." Gan Ning clapped his hands and glanced at the direction of Shamoke's departure, "Let's talk about serious business, Jiangdong... Haha, there are still 100,000 soldiers, it's really a toad. Last time I attacked Jiangbei, I also said 100,000, and last time, I really couldn't fool people? Or did Jiangdong have the ability to sprinkle beans and become soldiers, so whoever can get 100,000 soldiers?"
In fact, Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang got the news earlier. Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang's attitudes towards Shamoke's nervous 100,000 troops in Jiangdong were the same, just "professed".
Not to mention the Wuling area where the South Vietnamese are more people than the Han people, even in Jiangzuo territory, Wujun and other places where the Han people are concentrated, it is not something that can be done in a month or two. Even in the entire Han Dynasty, only the standing corpses in various places under the General of the Cavalry can be dispatched immediately with an order, and the soldiers of various counties must wait for the assembly and logistics arrangements, etc. The same is true in Shandong, but the troops under Cao Cao's command can be allocated at any time, but the troops of each commander general can be allocated at any time.
Take the Sichuan-middle horses familiar to Zhuge Liang for example. The only ones who can set off on that day are the Chengdu permanent army in Xu Shu's hands, the permanent army in Yan Yan's hands in Babei, the Badong camp in Ganning, and the army commanded by General Xu Huang who is biased towards southern Sichuan. If the counties in the other areas are dispatched for dozens or hundreds, of course there is no problem, but once there are thousands, it will be a big problem. If it is a big county, it will take about three to five days to five days to gather local troops, and if there are tens of thousands of people, it will take five to seven days. Moreover, this is still in the area under the cavalry. If there are no military equipment on weekdays, and there is no local inspection to assist in dispatching, it is not impossible to gather tens of thousands of people in a month...
Not to mention the issues of grain and grass reserve scheduling, etc.
There are definitely not 100,000 people in Jiangdong, and 20,000 people should be about the same. But even 20,000 to 30,000, Wuling Man may not be able to resist it.
Of course, it is okay for Gan Ning to send troops immediately, and only Gan Ning can attack.
Yan Yan is in Babei and Xu Huang is in southern Sichuan. Even if these two people can come, their boat command and combat capabilities are not as good as Gan Ning.
For rebels and bandits in the jurisdiction of the territory, Gan Ning and others have the authority to attack first, and can deal with it directly before reporting it. However, if you attack across the border, you need to obtain permission, at least written authorization from Xu Shu.
Even Xu Shu had to report to the cavalry before ordering, so it would take some time. This is also the reason why Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang would not discuss the issue with Shamoke and deliberately opened up part of the topic.
Therefore, it is not a problem for Gan Ning to go out to help Shamoke deal with the soldiers in Jiangdong. The problem is time. Even if you take the fastest flying pigeon route, it will take seven to ten days. How to make up the conservative estimate of ten days, or how to delay Jiangdong's pace, has become a problem for Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang to think about now.
After a while, Zhuge Liang patted his hand gently: "General Gan, I think we can consider another direction... Why do you think that when Jiangdong expeditions to Wuling, why did Huang Gai and Huang Gongfu be the general of the commander-in-chief?"
『What does it mean?』 Gan Ning was confused, 『Is there a plan to deal with Huang Gongfu?』
A gloss flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, "Not yet, but... I thought of another thing..."
…ヾ(^▽^ヾ)…
After Huang Gai received the military order, he took his troops and the soldiers of Jiangdong who had just gathered together, boarded the boat and went upstream. The next night he arrived at Yunmengze, and then repaired it for a day before continuing.
Wuling area is mountainous. No matter how many soldiers in Jiangdong are, they cannot spread out into the mountains. At most, they can only march along the river and pacify the southern barbarians and thieves in the river. Of course, most villages, towns and counties are also near the water source. For example, the so-called Wuxi is not the kind of stream on the mountain, but five rivers, which then gather in the Yunmeng Lake.
These areas in the Han Dynasty were basically all territory of wild animals, birds and insects.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu royal family often came to Yunmengze to hunt, and later many stories emerged around Yunmengze.
However, whether it is a story or a myth, it has no effect on the development of the Yunmengze area of ​​the Han Dynasty. The Han people would not run thousands of miles away from the mountain road because of the beautiful mountains and rivers of Yunmengze or Wuling, looking at each other's butts one by one, so there is not a large population in this vast area.
And among this small population, the South Vietnamese occupy the majority.
The areas distinguished by water are often not necessarily visible after a boat or two. Occasionally, some dirty or naked southern barbarians, or woodcutters, who stand up like a groundhog and roar, and then they retract back into the woods with a whisper.
Most of the soldiers in Jiangdong were very accustomed to living on boats. For them, boats were like their mobile tents, moving kitchens, and solid camps. Therefore, these soldiers did not feel that this was difficult to conquer the Nanman Yue people in Wuling area of ​​Nanyue. Most of the soldiers felt relaxed, just like participating in a large group outing.
If it were the previous siege of South Vietnam, it would be quite easy.
The people of the Southern Barbarians also have boats, but the ships cannot be like fighting on land. Anyone who cuts some wood and bamboo can be used as weapons and can also kill people. On the water, the gap between large ships and small ships is like giants and children. Except for the fact that there are really light skills that can float on the water, basically, the ships are not used for any bravery when they are destroyed...
Just like in history, although our Huang Gai was in the Battle of Chibi, although his position was indeed very popular, he was too sexy and was burned by Cao's army because he was too sexy, so his boat and car was destroyed. He could not even use his martial arts and almost drowned. Fortunately, the soldiers in Jiangdong recognized it as a friendly army and salvaged it, otherwise he would be buried with his fellow soldiers.
The gap in boat technology has led to the fact that neither the Wuling Man nor the Southern Barbarians and Yue people in other regions cannot compete with the Jiangdong soldiers. Jiangdong can choose to go ashore in which area and attack Yue people at any time. However, even if the Southern Barbarians have a certain advantage in the mountains and forests, they cannot cause any decisive harm to the Jiangdong soldiers on the boat. Therefore, the people of Nanyue are also called Shanyue by the Jiangdong people.
The soldiers in Jiangdong thought they were dealing with Nanyue, so they were naturally very relaxed, but Huang Gai's expression was not relaxed at all.
Before he commanded the Jiangdong Army, he went to see Zhou Yu.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could not even believe his eyes.
Just two years ago, Zhou Yu was still very healthy. Whether it was a boat or a war horse, there was nothing that Zhou Yu couldn't play with. In a big battle in Jingzhou, Zhou Yu was almost busy. In the end, he not only seized the population and goods from southern Jingzhou, but also snatched Sun Erlangzi from Cao Cao's tiger's mouth. However, in a blink of an eye, Zhou Yu turned into a piece of paper. The wind might be blown away directly...
Huang Gai knew that Zhou Yu was sick before, but Huang Gai didn't know that Zhou Yu was so sick. He had thought that Zhou Yu was just taking advantage of his illness to avoid trouble. After all, those Jiangdong gentry, even Er Zhang, did not often get sick at any time and then closed their doors to thank guests?
What surprised Huang Gai even more was that Sun Quan was there next to Zhou Yu.
Huang Gai tried to find some false things in Sun Quan's expression, but Huang Gai discovered that Sun Quan was really like a disciple next to Zhou Yu, doing his best and having a sincere attitude...
This made Huang Gai feel that Jiangdong finally had some hope, and he also wanted to arrest Sun Quan and beat him up.
What have you done long ago?
But in this world, the most expensive and unpriced, is the medicine for regret.
If you beat Sun Quan, you can change Zhou Yu's physical condition and restore Zhou Yu's health. Of course, Huang Gai will beat Sun Erlangzi without hesitation. However, when Huang Gai saw Zhou Yu's gray face, only a little red on his cheeks, Huang Gai could only remain silent.
Huang Gai has seen this expression on many people's faces, and without exception, those people died soon after. It's not that Huang Gai has some magical powers, but that Huang Gai has experienced many battle formations and has seen too many people who died of injuries.
But what Zhou Yu later told him made Huang Gai's hands and feet cold.
There is not much time left in Jiangdong...
It’s not that Jiangdong will collapse soon, but that there are not many windows for Jiangdong that are left for Jiangdong.
Destiny is like a door, with only two doors. Those who enter first will inevitably close the door, and then the later ones are stuck outside.
In Zhou Yu's opinion, Fei Qian and Cao Cao each had one foot on this threshold, and the two sides were in a stalemate, while Jiangdong had no place to go. The plan for the benefit of the fisherman was indeed wonderful, but the problem was that everyone wanted to be the fisherman, so Jiangdong was still the first to be eliminated.
The problem in Jiangdong is like the large mountainous area in front of you, with rivers, forests, birds, and animals, but there are not enough people!
No one can do anything. In the era when one has to thank God for giving birth, once there is no one, the roads in Jiangdong will soon be covered with weeds.
