Chapter 285 A great achievement can be achieved in a blink of an eye
Liu Jian couldn't hold back his joy when he heard what Jushou said.
Why did ancient people like to dress up as merchants when they secretly captured a city or invaded an opponent's territory?
In this era, many merchants take the blame.
None of the good things happened to the merchants, and all the bad things happened to the merchants.
Among the merchants of the Han Dynasty, every one of them was unlucky and had a bad reputation.
Seeing that Liu Jian took his words as truth, Ju Shou said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's not that Ju looks down on Niu Fu, it's just that no matter what I think, I feel that Niu Fu has no ability to think of where our army's food route is!"
Liu Jian's expression was quite serious: "What Gong Yu said, I also know that with Niu Fu's ability, he would not consider this method, but Jia Xu is a man of many schemes. If he plots for Niu Fu, then the plan will be
Nine times out of ten, he is similar to Mr. Ju."
Jushou secretly sighed in his heart, my lord... I don’t know where he gets the information every day.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Jushou had always admired Liu Jian's way of judging people. Although he didn't understand what channels Liu Jian used to know the famous people in the world, he had to admit that his lord's channel was quite accurate.
"Since my lord is determined that Niu Fu will attack Liyangdu, my subordinates will arrange manpower and set up defenses at Liyangdu!"
Liu Jian smiled and said, "Thank you for your help!"
Then, he looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Yan Liang, and said: "Yun Chang, Yide, Zishan, I have important tasks for this battle, and I want to hand them over to you and the other three!"
The three fierce generals went out together to wait for Liu Jian's orders.
…
…
Jia Xu led his two thousand soldiers to a place a hundred miles behind, pretending to keep an eye on Bao Xin and Qiao Mao, who were eating jujube.
In name he was trying to stabilize Niu Fu's rear, but in reality he was hiding.
But for some reason, even if he was transferred to the rear, Jia Xu would always feel a little uneasy in his heart.
He couldn't tell exactly why he was uneasy.
In the past few nights, Jia Xu squatted in his tent every night, fully considering his plan this time to see if there were any omissions.
After thinking about it for three days in a row, Jia Xu didn't feel that he had missed anything, but where did this feeling of uneasiness come from?
Among the people accompanying the army was Jia Hong, a direct servant of Jia Xu's clan. He was a close confidant of Jia Xu.
It's like brothers growing up.
In the entire military camp, Jia Xu only trusted this personal attendant.
Jia Xu sat in front of the desk, his eyes bloodshot.
He rubbed his temples with a worried look on his face, looking at the map on the screen, his brain running rapidly.
When I was young, I saw Jia Hong walking into the handsome tent carrying a bowl of porridge.
"Father, it's time for snacks."
Jia Xu waved his hands in annoyance and said: "Put it over there, I can't eat it yet."
Jia Hong put the porridge on the table and said with concern: "My father-in-law, we have left the front line and are far away from the battle. My father-in-law has been quite worried for the past few days, but why?"
Jia Xu glanced at Jia Hong and whispered: "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy..."
"Why is my father-in-law uneasy?"
Jia Xu said: "Actually, I can't explain clearly. This time I set up a plan to cut off food for General Niu. Although the plan is superficial, it still has a 50% chance of winning. In the eyes of Jizhou people, General Niu is a brave but foolhardy person.
, will definitely not figure out where their food route is, which is why I dare to devise this plan for General Niu."
"And even if they see through this plan, I have already escaped from General Niu's camp and stayed away from the front line. No matter whether I win or lose, this matter will not be contaminated by me. Besides, Liu Jian's attention should be on
General Niu will not pay attention to the two thousand troops led by an unknown person like me. Logically speaking, I should be safe."
After hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Jia Hong also said: "My father-in-law has considered all aspects, so why worry about it?"
Jia Xu sighed: "I don't know why, I've been feeling uneasy these past few days. I don't know why, but I always feel like I've made some omissions somewhere. But if you ask me to tell you where the omissions are, I still can't tell..."
Jia Hong smiled bitterly and said: "My father-in-law, you just think too much. Are you still worried that Liu Jian will divide his troops to attack our two thousand men?"
It is said that one word can awaken a person in a dream. When Jia Xu heard Jia Hong's words, he suddenly realized something.
He seemed to have realized something and turned to look at Jia Hong and said: "Yes, what you said is exactly what you said. What should I do if Liu Jian divides his troops to attack me? Shouldn't I just sit back and wait to be killed?"
When Jia Hong heard this, he was speechless for a moment.
My father-in-law is good at everything, but he is too cautious and overly cautious.
"My father-in-law, what threat does the group of men you lead pose to Liu Jian?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "My army has retreated a hundred miles and is close to Suanzao. There are not many people. Not to mention threatening Liu Jian, Bao Xin and Qiao have been defeated by Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others.
Mao, my soldiers and horses are not a threat, not to mention that Jia is not well-known and is just a nobody in Liu Jian's eyes..."
Jia Hong smiled and said: "My father-in-law, look, are you too worried? You have said it yourself, your soldiers and horses pose no threat to Liu Jian, and Liu Jian doesn't even know you. What he is facing now
The main opponent is General Niu. Why would he divide his troops to deal with your mere two thousand troops? What good will this do to him?"
In fact, Jia Xu has always thought this way in his heart. This is also where he has been conflicted for some time.
He should be an outsider in this war, a figure that is obviously insignificant to the war situation and has nothing to do with him at all. Why is he always anxious in his heart?
Seeing how worried Jia Xu was, Jia Hong sighed and said, "My father-in-law, you are just too worried. Please drink some porridge."
Jia Xu reached out and took the bowl handed over by Jia Hong, looked up at him, and finally sighed at himself.
Indeed, I was really confused. Even though everyone could see that it had nothing to do with me, he still wanted to take care of me. It was really too much.
Then, Jia Xu picked up the bowl of porridge and started drinking it spoon by spoon.
Let’s see how Liu Jian and General Niu win or lose.
…
…
The tenth day of September was the day Niu Fu planned to attack Liyangdu.
For a period of time, he has been continuously sending troops to attack Yanjin County, pretending not to give up until he captures the county seat.
In fact, Niu Fu was secretly collecting ships and preparing to cross the river quietly from the upper reaches of the Yellow River to capture Liu Jian's Liyang Crossing on the other side of the Yellow River.
Niu Fu's judgment was that as long as he could capture Liyangdu and burn the grain, grass and ports currently stored in Liyangdu, Liu Jian's army stationed in Yanjin would inevitably be in chaos and their morale would be frustrated.
The throat of the rear was taken away. No matter what kind of shitty famous general Liu Jian was, he would definitely have no master and command his troops to turn around and fight towards Liyang Ferry. By then, Yanjin's defense would be weak, and his main troops would attack Yanjin County.
You can win or lose in one battle.
Niu Fu carefully analyzed the plan several times, and no matter how much he thought about it, he felt that it was foolproof and had no flaws!
…
On the evening of the tenth day of September, Liyang Ferry.
The Jizhou patrol who was responsible for guarding Liyangdu yawned and looked at the rolling river in the distance, with a look of sleepiness in his eyes.
It seems that for them now, only the change of duties can cheer them up.
At this time, a Jizhou soldier looked towards the west, and then his eyes suddenly widened!
"Look, you guys, what is that?"
The rest of the soldiers of the Jizhou Army looked in the direction pointed by Na Shi and saw a group of walking boats going down the river in the direction of Liyangdu.
In front of the walking platform, there is also a flag representing the Guanzhong business.
A soldier hurriedly said to everyone: "You should watch out, don't let them dock at the port, I will report to Sima!"
Then, he was seen leaving in a hurry.
…
At this time, the person responsible for guarding Liyangdu was no longer Lu Xiang, the commander of the Anping Kingdom in Jizhou, but Shen Pei and Yan Liang, who had received Liu Jian's military order a few days ago and came here to take command.
After listening to the soldier's report, Lu Xiang hurriedly asked Shen Pei and Yan Liang for instructions: "You two, Niu Fu's sneak attack army has arrived, and they all came in a walking boat, pretending to be merchants. How should we deal with it?"
When the judge heard this, he did not answer immediately. His mind was racing and he was lost in thought.
Jushu had previously said that Niu Fu would not think of this method when he told the time of food shortage, but Liu Jian firmly stated that as long as Jia Xu was around, Niu Fu would come and steal the food.
Although he didn't understand why the result was like this, Shen Pei was even more in awe of Liu Jian at this moment.
Naturally, he would not know that Liu Jian was a time traveler.
In Shen Pei's view, Liu Jian must have powerful channels that they didn't know about. Through this channel, he was able to understand and know many things that he didn't know.
The lord is the true hero!
"Don't drive, don't drive!"
Shen Pei, who was deep in thought, was brought back to his senses when Yan Liang greeted him.
He turned around and saw Yan Liang looking at him doubtfully and saying, "Don't drive, Lu Sima is asking you something!"
Only then did the judge suddenly realize.
He looked at Lu Xiang and ordered: "Don't disturb your people. These Xiliang soldiers pretending to be merchants will definitely give them gold, silk and silk items in order to dock in the port... Accept the gifts as they are due.
Send smart people to talk to them, and remember to ask for more goods and pretend to be more like them."
Lu Xiang said: "Wei!"
Shen Pei sneered and said: "It turns out that Duke Ju really got it right. He hid elite soldiers in the bottom warehouse, made white clothes shake oars, and used them as merchant uniforms to confuse us and capture the ferry by surprise!"
Yan Liang licked his lips and said, "When will we do it?"
The judge said with a smile: "Don't worry, I guess they will attack at night. Let's just be one step ahead of them! Don't worry..."
Having said this, he turned to look at Yan Liang: "Zishan, I will leave these people to you in a little while."
Yan Liang said hurriedly: "Don't worry! I will kill them all and leave no one behind!"
Shen Pei smiled and said: "Don't bother so much, I will teach you how to do it later... These ships will dock at the river bank later. In order to confuse us, the Xiliang sergeants hiding in the bilges have to come out late at night.
Now they are trapped in the bilge, floating on the river, and they are living targets with their hands and feet bound, ready to be slaughtered!"
"You just need to ambush elite crossbowmen on the river bank, and then set the boat on fire!"
"The exit of the cabin is narrow, and people must get out one after another. Once the fire breaks out, people in the cabin will rush to trample on them. Only a few people can escape. Most of them are either killed by the smoke or killed by the fire.
Those who fell into the river and managed to escape were as hasty as a lost dog. A wave of arrows will rain down and they will all be wiped out!"
"And after these rounds of fire and arrows come down, the remaining Liangzhou sergeants will be nothing more than fish and meat on their swords. You can lead a team of sword and shield soldiers and kill them all along the river. In a short time, you will be successful!"
