Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin joined Panlong Village with fellow refugees from Luocao Tianmen Mountain when Jiang Ang followed Hu Dangzhou to occupy Panlong Village.
After the capture of Panlong Village, Zhao Shan, Liu Fujin, Jiang Ang and others were captured. Although they were active and remarkable before and after their escape from Nancai back to Dongzhou Island, Jiang Ang, Jiang Xiong, Zhang
Cong and others are like lost dogs, without a master, and it is difficult to notice too many details in a hurry.
After Jiang Ping came to Changlin Town on behalf of Chushan to make contact with Dongzhou Island, Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin kept a low profile as much as possible. They usually took care of the village affairs for Jiang Ang and trained his troops without much outstanding performance.
Jiang Ang had a rough temperament, but he was not stupid enough to think that Chushan had no agenda in secretly funding so much money, food and arms. However, he had always placed his suspicious eyes on the prisoners of war who were released from Nancai one after another in the later period.
The leaders of the thousands of prisoners of war who were released were basically from Hehuai River refugees. None of them were old bandits who had been with him for many years near Jingjiang. Jiang Ang certainly suspected that Chushan had tricked some of these people.
He was also full of calculations about the day when he no longer had to secretly rely on Chushan's money and food support, and he must kick aside those grandsons who were acting suspiciously, so that Chushan would know what it meant to be clean and tidy.
In the later period, most of the leaders who came from the Hehuai refugees, including Jiang Xiong, Zhang Cong and others, did not reject Chushan. However, it was Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin who repeatedly reminded them to be wary of secret cooperation with Chushan. Jiang Ang would also
They take him as their confidant.
Now tell him that Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin were the two people who were really inserted by Chu Shan?
Jiang Ang looked at Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"In the past, I concealed things from each other, which is really my duty. However, my eldest brother is sincere and sincere. He is a true hero and a true hero. Fu Jin and I are convinced! I have offended many people, so please don't blame me, eldest brother."
Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin immediately left their seats and walked to Jiang Ang, clasping their fists and saying.
"Haha, where, where, I don't care, I don't care..." Jiang Ang was not a very articulate person, and he was still somewhat awkward in his heart, so he said with an awkward smile.
"You say you don't care, but your cow-like eyes are darting around. Who knows what you are planning! Jieshuai, I don't think this guy is an honest person."
Niu Er looked at Jiang Ang with evil eyes and muttered.
Xu Huai came to Hexue in advance with only a small number of guards. Xu Wujiang, Han Gui and others urged Niu Er to stay alert when he was around Xu Huai. He walked into the Juyi Hall and stood with the mace in his hands.
Next to Xu Huai, he stared at Jiang Ang. At this time, Jiang Ang's eyes were wandering and his smile was weird, so he felt that something was wrong with this guy.
"Yashan, don't talk nonsense," Zhou Jing tugged on Niu Er's sleeve and whispered to him not to talk nonsense, "Jiang Junhou is a man of temperament. When he first learned about this, he was surprised. It is human nature. Don't make a fuss.
.”
Zhou Jing and others originally did not want to expose Zhao Shan and Liu Fujin's lurking matter so quickly, so as not to cause trouble at this time. However, Xu Huai valued Jiang Ang and others very much. After thinking about it, he decided to reveal it now and try to eliminate Jiang Ang as much as possible.
The grudge in the hearts of Ang and others.
Next, Xu Huai went on to talk about many detailed arrangements for Dongzhou Village in the past two years, including arranging prisoners of war from Hehuai refugees in Nancai to lead the team and sneak back to Dongzhou Village. He also patiently explained the underlying reasons behind many arrangements.
Logic, talked about Chushan's understanding of the Hehuai refugees and the local villagers in Dongjing, and talked about the next arrangement plan based on these many differences.
Xu Huai now has a thick short mustache on his lips. Even if we don’t talk about his impressive achievements over the years, and his power that is comparable to that of the sky at this time, just these years of fighting in the north and south, and sleeping in the open air have left a mark on his face.
The rough feeling under his eyes, as well as the deep and cold eyes that he showed unintentionally as a powerful warrior, from the moment he walked into the Juyi Hall, he also gave Jiang Ang, Jiang Xiong, Zhang Cong and others extremely strong oppression.
feel.
However, Xu Huai talked so much that it seemed that it was not conducive to maintaining his sense of oppression over everyone, but Jiang Ang, Jiang Xiong, Zhang Cong and others had various understandings in their hearts, and at the same time they became more convinced.
In the end, Jiang Ang's inner awkwardness disappeared.
Without him, everything Chushan did was not directed at Jiang Ang personally.
What Chu Shan did was to explore without fear of difficulties and find a feasible way to resolve the current impasse. He did everything possible to rescue and save the innocent people who were trapped in the predicament and tried his best to turn the tide.
The decision to raid Chishan Bay this time is based on the same reason. Even though we know that countless bandits who are forced to make a living will die fighting, and even though there will be many twists and turns in the future, we are all moving towards this goal unswervingly.
Forward.
Jiang Ang, Jiang Xiong, Zhang Cong and others have done their job well, but it is unrealistic to use Dongzhouzhai soldiers and horses as an offensive force to raid Chishan Bay in a short period of time. It will bring a lot of unpreparedness to the middle and lower-level military officials and grassroots generals.
confusion.
The raid on Chishan Bay was divided into two parts. One was that the first group of Nancai Navy was responsible for covering the third and fourth groups of the Tianxiong Army's rear troops, and the landing operation at Laohuzhai in the early morning of the day after.
Tomorrow night, the second compartment will be responsible for covering the main forces of the first and second compartments behind the Tianxiong Army, entering Jingjiang from the waterway controlled by Dongzhou Village, and will also launch a surprise attack on the main Chishan Village in the early morning of the day after tomorrow; Dongzhou Village's troops and horses are being replaced
The banner will then cross the Jingjiang River in the early morning of the next day and move to the south of Shishou County, acting as a suspect to delay possible reinforcements from Sun Yanzhou and other thieves to Chishan Bay.
Accompanied by Zhou Jing and others, Xu Huai spent the entire afternoon discussing specific battle plans and doing ideological work with Jiang Ang, Jiang Xiong, Zhang Cong and others in the Juyi Hall of Hexue Headquarters.
When night fell, in addition to Wuchihai and Shi Hu, who led hundreds of elite vanguard troops to enter the Crane Cave in batches, the second wing of the Nancai Navy also sent a group of sentry boats to change the flags of Dongzhou Village and control from Dongzhou Village.
The waterway drove into the Jingjiang River, blocking the communication channel between Dongzhou Village and the south bank of the Jingjiang River to prevent spies from spreading the changes in Dongzhou Village to the ears of Hu Danzhou, Sun Yanzhou and others in advance...
…………
…………
Two days later, in the early morning, thin clouds covered the sky lightly, and the dark sky was like paper smeared with light ink, showing a very hazy light.
Although the sky and the earth before dawn are not pitch black, and you can even see the shimmering light reflected from the lake, but the view is really not good, but the sound of running water and the chirping of insects in the grass are unprecedented.
clear.
The walls of the village were also sparsely illuminated by torches.
Hu You, who had been naked for days, looked to the northwest for a while. Apart from sporadic still fires, there was nothing unusual on the lake. He looked at the guard who stood motionless like a stone pillar in the night.
, asked:
"Third Uncle, are there any unusual movements among the officers and soldiers?"
"We can't tell yet," Sun Yanguan, the third leader of Chishan Village and the guard of Laohu Village, looked back at Hu You and said, "But even if the officers and soldiers don't move tonight, it won't take too long!"
The distance between Laohuzhai and Nancai Recruitment Division's camp at the mouth of Sangchi River and Sangchi Lake is less than twenty miles. When the weather is fine, you can even vaguely see the scenes on the walls of each other's villages.
The Dongjing Allied Forces have been fighting with officers and soldiers for many years. Even though they are limited by the shortage of supplies and the generals are poorly equipped and are not particularly capable of fighting tough battles, people like Sun Yanguan are almost familiar with the combat rules and have accumulated quite a wealth of combat experience.
From the situation in which the Nancai Recruitment Division dispatched troops and supplies to the mouth of the Sangchi River during this period, Sun Yanguan had a strong premonition that the Nancai Recruitment Division would soon launch a fierce attack on Laohuzhai and capture Chishan Bay in Jingjiang.
The most critical gateway to the North Shore.
It is not difficult for Sun Yanguan and others to guess that the Nancai Recruitment Division has a plot to induce surrender through war. In their hearts, they even hope to severely defeat the Nancai Recruitment Division's one or two plots, so as to obtain more generous funds for the Recruitment Division.
condition.
Sun Yanguan turned around and asked Hu You to sit next to the wall with him. He looked at the bonfire in the distance and asked about the rest of the reinforcements.
"Brothers are all fine, they can eat and sleep well," Hu You asked with some worry: "Uncle Third, how long do you think we can live in Laohu Village?"
No matter how new Hu You was, he was not afraid of tigers, and he did not dare to look down upon the Nancai Recruitment Department, which was personally under the command of Jingsheng Hou Xu Huai. He was a soft persimmon at their disposal.
"It's hard to say how long we can defend, but we have used the cover of night to mobilize more than 2,000 elite troops from the south bank in recent days. They have been hiding in Laohuzhai without making any sign. If the Nancai Recruitment Division dares to come here and kill them, they will be called upon.
In the first battle, I suffered a huge fall in front of Laohuzhai—your third uncle is still sure of this." Sun Yanguan placed the straight spine knife across his knees and said with a confident smile.
"It might not be a good thing if Nan Cai recruits the Secretary of State in a hurry." Hu You said again worrying about gains and losses.
Sun Yanzhou, Hu Dangzhou and other thieves took advantage of the Red Husbands' invasion to the south and Jinghu was in turmoil, and took hundreds of thousands of people to invade the prefecture and seize the county. They killed the officers and soldiers in southern and northern Jingzhou and retreated steadily. They could not resist, and their momentum was lost for a while.
two.
In the early days, they also had great ambitions, thinking about changing the world and making great achievements.
However, over the years, the troops in southern Jing and northern Jing have become more and more organized. The Dong-Jing coalition has always been restricted to Dongting Lake and along the Jing River. It has never been able to effectively break the siege and blockade of the officers and soldiers, making survival increasingly difficult.
Especially in the past two years, it has been difficult to get any benefits from fighting with the officers and soldiers. Most of the rebel generals have become a little less focused and are thinking more about how to survive.
Of course, it is unfair to say that Sun Yanzhou, Hu Dangzhou and others only wanted to surrender to the Hulu. This was at least not their top priority.
It's just that they lack the most basic trust in the imperial court, and deep down they are eager to maintain their independence as much as possible after accepting the recruitment.
This also causes people like Hu You to worry about gains and losses.
They wanted to fight more and win more battles in order to obtain more relaxed recruitment conditions, but they were afraid of being impatient, which eventually prompted the officers and soldiers to give up on recruiting and fight them to the death.
By this time, they also knew that it was not difficult for the Dongjing Allied Forces to win one or two battles. They had defeated the officers and soldiers countless times before, but if they wanted to fight against the officers and soldiers for a long time, it would only become more difficult if they continued to struggle.
"You have to know that the imperial court wants to recruit us, not because it is merciful, but because it has nothing to do with us." Seeing Hu You worrying about gains and losses, Sun Yan smiled inwardly and said, "We really have to be able to recruit Nancai to attack the enemy. The situation is very urgent."
On the contrary, it is beneficial to us, what are you worried about..."
"General Sun, eldest son, there is some movement among the officers and soldiers!" The soldiers guarding the wall shouted at this time.
Sun Yanguan, Hu You stood up and looked around, and saw that the torches suddenly gathered in the direction of the mouth of the Sangchi River. A group of sentinels carrying bonfires also came out of the water village and drove towards the center of the Sangchi Lake. They thought at the same time.
