From Linxiang to Hengshan Township, the land route is about four to five hundred miles, and the waterway is seven hundred miles. The Jingzhou navy uses heavy boats to travel upstream, and can only travel up to fifty or sixty miles a day, and it takes more than ten days to reach Hengshan Township. And Liu
I wish the detectives who stayed in Linxiang can quickly return the information in less than three days.
After Liu Zhu learned about the news that the Jingzhou navy was moving south, he sent people back to Lingxian County to inform Liu Jing, and at the same time sent people to Hengshan to contact Shan Rixi.
One day later, on the evening of February 4th, Liu Jing received the news in his house. At this time, the Jingzhou navy had only traveled more than 200 miles.
Liu Jing did not hurriedly summon his generals for discussion. In fact, for more than half a month, the generals have been intensively preparing for war. At present, the warships are all ready and can be set off with only Liu Jing's order.
Liu Jing sent someone to inform the congregation, and then he stayed at his official residence to accompany his wife.
"Liu Lang..." Deng Yuan, who was as big as a basket, leaned on Liu Jing's shoulder, with a hint of worry on his obviously rounded face.
Liu Jing looked calm and said with a smile: "This is exactly what I want. If the other party waits until you are in labor to come, I must be worried about it, but I will not be able to concentrate on fending off the enemy. The other party's arrival at this time is just as I wish.
I want to celebrate my son’s birthday with a big victory. I have already thought of a name. If I give birth to a boy, he will be named Qi (qi). If I give birth to a girl, she will be named Jie." Liu Jing said, while touching his fingers with water on the desk.
Write the word "Qijie" respectively.
A great victory means victory, which is easy to understand. The flag is an ancient flag with a cross-dragon pattern. The so-called cross-dragon is a knot of two dragons. The flag has a bell to command the soldiers. It was an ancient symbol.
The flag of a general who specializes in conquest.
"Flag..." Deng Yuan looked at the word "Flag" on the desk and muttered: ""The Book of Songs·Ode to Shang·Xuanniao":"The succession of Shang Dynasty was not in danger, and the grandson of Wuding was the grandson of Wuding. The grandson of Wuding, King Wu was invincible
.The dragon flag is carried ten times, and Daluan is the successor.'" The flag is not only the flag of the general, but also refers to the emperor and the princes.
Liu Jing said with a smile: "Young Master is well-read and has a strong memorization. I am willing to give in to my husband." He has never sought a thorough understanding of his studies. If we only focus on the study of Confucian classics, Deng Yuan could beat him ten times.
Deng Yuan nodded lightly and said: "Liu Qi, this name has a very good meaning. I hope this name can bring victory to Liu Lang."
"If we want to talk about the moral, wouldn't it be better to use Liu Jie's moral?" Liu Jing silently complained about his wife's preference for boys over girls. He said: "Don't worry, young gentleman. If the opponent is Kuai Yue, I may still be afraid of him."
, Cai Mao is just a frivolous person who relies on his family background. No matter how many troops he has, in my opinion, he is just a chicken and a dog, and can be defeated in one battle."
Deng Yuan knew that her husband only said this to reassure her, and did not really despise her opponent, so she immediately said no more.
The two knew that their separation was imminent, so they cherished the time very much, cuddling with each other and chatting until late at night.
…………
Early the next morning, Liu Jing went to sit down and found that everyone had arrived, gathering in twos and threes to talk. The conversation was inseparable from the upcoming war. There was no lack of worry in the hearts of the generals, but more of them were excited. The man was here
How can the military go without fame for a long time? They have been waiting for this day for too long.
"Liu Jun..." After catching a glimpse of Liu Jing, all the generals stopped talking and stepped forward to greet him.
Liu Zong, Liu Xiu, Liu Liang, Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, Wang Qiang, Han Guang, serious...
Liu Jing's eyes swept over everyone, and he smiled in a relaxed tone: "The Jingzhou Navy went south as we expected. In this battle, we have taken advantage of the right time, location, and people, and we will attack the unprepared with determination.
You can achieve a great victory. "The Book of Songs" says: "The tigers and ministers are as fierce as tigers, and they are as strong as tigers. They are still in control of ugly prisoners." I hope that you can be as brave and fearless as the poem says, and as powerful as tigers.
, engage in battle and capture enemy prisoners. Work hard."
"No." All the generals bowed in unison.
It would take at least ten days for the Jingzhou navy to arrive at the ambush site, and it would only take them one day to set off from Lingxian and take a boat along the river.
Although they have plenty of time, as the ambush party, they need to make a lot of preparations in advance, so naturally the sooner they arrive at the scheduled battlefield, the better.
After Liu Jing hurriedly explained a few things, he ordered the generals to return to camp, organize their troops, and set off on the ship.
The generals took the order and immediately dispersed.
Not long after, the new town, old town, Xiangshui River, Leishui River, Chengshui River in Lingxian County started to boil one after another. For a while, the roads were crowded with vehicles and boats were all over the river, creating a busy scene.
Liu Jing currently has nearly 10,000 naval infantry troops under his command, including 5,000 infantry troops with six battalions. Liu Zong, Liu Xiu, Liu Liang, Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, and Han Guang each command one battalion. There are also nearly 10,000 naval infantry troops.
Five thousand men, a total of seventy-seven warships such as sterns and battleships, and more than a hundred large and small barges.
In addition to the 10,000-strong water infantry, Liu Jing will also bring more than 10,000 civilians with him this time.
The ratio of civilians to soldiers is close to one to one, which is already a very low ratio. This is due to the developed water network in the south, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources. If it were replaced by the lack of water transportation in the north, civilians would usually be two to three times the number of soldiers.
times, and even more in extreme cases.
Liu Jing was about to leave and returned home to say goodbye to his stepmother Zhang and his sister-in-law Lai Ci. During this period, Liu He sat on the couch and said nothing. It was not until Liu Jing left that he chased him out and begged in a low voice: "Brother, can you
Can’t you take me with you?”
Liu He is already fifteen years old this year. Although his face still looks childish, he also has a hint of maturity.
Liu Jing thought for a while, shook his head and refused: "Aruo, you just tied your hair this year. The battlefield is not a place you should go at your age. Your first priority at the moment is to study. When I come back, I will send you to Leiyang and pay my respects.
At the door of Duke Huan (Yi)."
Liu He sighed in his heart, knowing that his brother would not agree, and argued: "I have not neglected studying, I just want to go to the battlefield to broaden my horizons. I am not in a hurry to study."
"If you can convince Mother, I will take you with me." Liu Jing said with a faint smile. Although her stepmother Zhang was strict, she actually loved Liu He more than herself. When Liu's father died, she
She was very young and could have remarried, but she chose to stay in the Liu family because she couldn't let go of Liu He and Liu Rao. So she would never agree to Liu He's adventure on the battlefield.
When Liu He heard this, he was like a deflated ball. If he could convince his mother, he would have spoken long ago. He originally wanted Liu Jing to help, but now it seems that there is no hope at all.
Seeing his brother sighing, Liu Jing burst into laughter, patted his shoulder hard, and said: "Okay, Aruo, don't look so dejected. Your brother and I didn't come here until I was nineteen."
Battlefield, you are only fifteen years old, why are you so anxious?"
Liu He whispered: "Liu Ziming went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, and even killed one level himself."
Liu Jing couldn't help being startled, thinking to himself, no wonder he was clamoring to go to the battlefield. It turned out that the roots were here. Was he holding back his energy to compete with Liu Liang?
Liu He is only three years younger than Liu Liang. Logically speaking, the two are of the same race and close neighbors, so they should be able to play together. However, the strange thing is that the two have had a very normal relationship since childhood and almost never play together.
Later, as Liu Jing favored Liu Liang more and more, Liu He began to secretly compete with Liu Liang for no reason.
However, there is nothing better than Liu He, but his military talent...Liu Liang is a natural general. Liu Jing asked Liu Liang, who is over 18 years old, to take over Chu Fang Camp this year. This was originally an act of rushing a duck to the shelf, but it was a dead horse.
As a doctor, I didn't expect him to lead in a decent manner. At least the soldiers were willing to obey his orders.
Don't think that this is normal. You must know that being able to control a hundred people is enough to enter the country's attention. Being able to control a battalion of soldiers is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of senior generals. A person of this level is a big man.
There will be no more than a thousand people in the court. It is rarer than Bailihou who is in charge of a county.
What's more, this man is only eighteen years old. He is undoubtedly a national pillar and cannot be overestimated.
Liu Jing couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The young man who ordered all the children to think of a plan finally turned his wish into a reality.
It's not that Liu Jing underestimated his younger brother. There are some things that are purely a gift from God and will be difficult to make up for the day after tomorrow. In terms of military ability alone, Liu He and Pingma can't catch up with Liu Liang.
"Ziming has special talents in this area, and I promoted him because of this." Liu Jingdao: "This is his strength, but it may not be your strength. There is no need to compare with him."
Liu He looked dissatisfied. What did Brother mean? He has never competed before. How could Brother know that he was not as good as Liu Liang?
"It's getting late, so let's do it." Liu Jing smiled and shook his head, and finally said: "I will be gone for at least half a month this time. When you have nothing to do, go with your mother and sister-in-law to the official residence to see your second sister-in-law.
"
"No." Liu He promised.
"You go back." Liu Dingding nodded, turned around, boarded the car and left.
