He led his troops to Heqi outside Liling City and looked at the direction of Chaisang City from a high mountain.
After Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, he congratulated Qi for his previous contributions and worshiped him as General Zhennan, leading his troops to guard Poyang County.
For decades, due to the large area of Yuzhang County, Sun Quan feared that the governor of Yuzhang would have too much power, so he divided Yuzhang County several times.
It was because of Sun Quan's mentality that Poyang County was separated from Yuzhang County.
Poyang is not far from Chaisang, and the two are connected by the Po River.
The existence of Po River greatly accelerated He Qi's march.
Of course, if He Qi wanted to lead his troops to support Chaisang, he did not necessarily have to pass through the Po River.
But after receiving Sun Quan's edict, He Qi decided on the route to march from Po River almost without thinking.
He Qi's choice makes sense.
For him, marching from Po River had one advantage - that is, he could lead his army around the back of the Han army.
He Qi is a general with little reputation in the world among the generals of Soochow, but he is actually very talented.
When He Qi learned about the accident in Yuzhang County, he was shocked and quickly reacted.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the combined force of thousands of Han troops and tens of thousands of Shanyue soldiers would make them feel intimidated.
But in He Qi's eyes, the only thing He Qi was afraid of was the Han army led by Ding Feng.
As for the tens of thousands of mountain soldiers?
Thinking of the many famous Shanyue commanders who died at his own hands in the past few decades, what reason does He Qi have to be afraid of them?
Military exploits are a general's greatest source of confidence.
Just when He Qi was looking in the direction of Chaisang from the mountain, the scouts he sent quickly brought back a piece of news.
"General, there are mountain bandits escaping outside Chaisang City one after another."
After hearing this report from the scout, He Qi's eyes narrowed unconsciously.
This was not because he was worried, but because he was happy.
Before He Qi could speak, He Qi's deputy general Yang Zan said happily:
"It seems that the Shanyue bandits heard the news of the general's arrival and thought of escaping without a fight!"
Yang Zan made a judgment that was close to the facts.
After hearing Yang Zan's judgment, all the generals and commanders behind He Qi laughed proudly.
In their eyes, Yang Zan's judgment was very reasonable.
They all knew how deep He Qi's prestige was in Shanyue.
After hearing the laughter of his subordinates behind him, He Qi waved his hands as if he didn't care and said:
"A mere bandit is not worth mentioning."
Everyone knows that there are tens of thousands of Shanyue soldiers outside Chaisang City.
For such a large amount, He Qi could only afford the word "merely".
This shows how much He Qi despised Shan Yue in his heart.
After He Qi finished speaking, Yang Zan quickly suggested He Qi:
“If there is one, there are two.
Facing the escape of some mountain bandits, the Han general Ding Feng would definitely not remain indifferent.
In Zan's opinion, Ding Feng might use iron-fisted measures to deter the Shanyue Sect Commanders from wanting to flee.
The Han army and the Shanyue army are not one and the same. If Ding Feng acts like this, the Shanyue sect commanders will inevitably jump over the wall under strong pressure.
This is a great opportunity for our army to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop!"
Yang Zan's suggestion immediately won the support of most generals and colonels.
But after He Qi listened to Yang Zan's suggestion, he slowly shook his head after thinking about it.
"Don't underestimate Mi Yang."
He Qi had never participated in the Public Security War, but as a Wu general, He Qi had heard too many of Mi Yang's achievements in recent years.
He Qi admired Mi Yang's talent.
"Since Mi Yang knew how to send Ding Feng to lead his army into Yuzhang, he knew that Ding Feng was by no means a mediocre person.
Kuang Tiance's reputation for being good at fighting has long been spread throughout the world.
Even though tens of thousands of mountain soldiers deserted Ding Feng, Ding Feng still had thousands of troops in his hands.
The strength of our army is comparable to that of Tiance's army, so the chances of winning in a risky battle are not high.
Now that our army knows that there is a rift between Ding Feng and Shan Yue, why don't our army station in Liling and watch from the sidelines?
Liling is located in the back and belly of Chaisang, which can cover the path behind tens of thousands of rebels.
As long as our army is in Liling, Ding Feng will be uneasy.
If it is stuck in his throat, Ding Feng may lose his mind, and then our army will have a chance to win."
He Qi's great reputation in Jiangdong proves that he is indeed not a mediocre person.
In He Qi's view, if he had not led the reinforcements to the outside of Liling City, then he should be impatient.
But now that he has successfully led his army to arrive outside Liling, it is not him who should be anxious, but Ding Feng.
As long as he was behind the Han army, Ding Feng would never dare to attack Chaisang rashly.
And as time goes by, when the other two supporting armies arrive, the three armies will attack Ding Feng together. So what if the Tiance army is good at fighting?
He Qi's analysis was clear and logical, and Yang Zan and other generals nodded frequently.
In the end, all the generals could only bow to He Qi with sincerity and say:
"Good morning, General!"
...
While He Qi was planning a victory outside Liling City, Jiang Ji secretly received an important envoy outside Chaisang City.
In a small boat on the Yangtze River, a man wearing a cloak was brought to Jiang Ji.
In the small boat that was sealed on all sides, the man took off the cloak on his head, revealing his true face.
Taking a closer look, who else could this person be if he wasn't Zhou Li?
"Mr. Jiang."
After seeing Jiang Ji, Zhou Li bowed respectfully to him.
When Jiang Ji saw Zhou Li arriving, a smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Ji stretched out his hand and said gently: "Ziyu, please sit down."
In order to protect Zhou Li, even among Mi Yang's many confidants, many people did not know Zhou Li's true identity.
But Jiang Ji, who was in charge of Si Wen Cao, obviously knew.
Even in the past, Jiang Ji was mainly in charge of the correspondence between Zhou Li and Mi Yang.
After Zhou Yi sat down, Jiang Ji curiously asked Zhou Yi:
"Why did Ziyu come here?"
There is a special and secret communication channel between Zhou Li and Jiang Ji.
But under normal circumstances, the two of them rarely use this special communication channel - unless there is something important!
Under Jiang Ji's questioning, Zhou Li briefly and comprehensively explained the important mission he had undertaken.
After listening to Zhou Yi's story, Jiang Ji, who was about to pour wine for Zhou Yi to ward off the cold, suddenly stopped in mid-air with his hand.
A little bit of wine poured out of the jug, revealing that Jiang Ji was a little restless at the moment.
Looking at the wine pot suspended in mid-air, Zhou Yi's face tightened. He took the initiative to reach out and grab the wine pot, letting the wine in the wine pot pour smoothly into his cup.
As the drink slowly fell, Zhou Li spoke sincerely:
"Please Jiang Gong, give me a great fortune!"
Zhou Li knew soldiers well, and he knew that in order to maximize the benefits of his mission, he must obtain the cooperation of Jiang Ji's soldiers and horses.
Facing Zhou Li's plea, Jiang Ji's eyes flashed:
"The only one who can give you great wealth is Da Sima."
Jiang Ji first said this.
But then Jiang Ji’s voice changed:
"As Da Sima's envoy, Ji feels that Da Sima is willing to give you this great wealth."
As soon as Jiang Ji finished speaking, Zhou Li was overjoyed.
What Zhou Li didn't know was that Jiang Ji was more happy than him in his heart.
Today, this great wealth is given to you as well as to yourself!
