During this period, Taishi Ci had been busy sorting out the military and political affairs of Jiujiang County, while Sun Yi was busy training troops.
After the news about Gan Ning's naval training came out, it was sent to Jiujiang.
Sun Yi was in high spirits and looked very excited.
He said in a deep voice: "General Taishi, Wang Can asked Gan Ning to train the navy, and he must have planned to use troops against Jiujiang. It is already mid-August, and winter will come in March and April. By then, the water flow will decrease and the river water will drop.
It is not conducive to the movement of warships. Therefore, I think Wang Can will send troops within the next month or two, and we must organize soldiers to meet the enemy and defeat Wang Can."
Sun Yi spoke plausibly and seemed very confident.
It seemed that Wang Can was already in his mouth and could not escape from his grasp.
After hearing this, Taishi Ci frowned.
Sun Yi thought about fighting Wang Can. This was because Sun Yi had never really dealt with Wang Can, and unlike Sun Ce, he had not personally experienced Wang Can's terror, so he was still thinking of getting lucky.
However, Taishi Ci did not.
He was well aware of the strength of Wang Can's army, so his strategy was to defend and hold Jiujiang.
He glanced at Sun Yi, turned his eyes, and shouted: "Zhang Yun obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
Zhang Yun stood up and responded with clasped fists.
This man was tall and powerful, with a beard and bulging eyes. Standing in the hall, he had an unruly aura, but was suppressed by Taishi Ci. Zhang Yun was a local general in Jiujiang, not Sun Jian.
, so he was still a little dissatisfied with Taishi Ci, but he did not dare to disobey Taishi Ci's military orders.
Taishi Ci shouted: "I order you to lead three thousand soldiers to Wuchang County. Once Wang Can leads the army to kill, you will lead the army to pretend to attack Wang Can, harass the Shu army, and make the Shu army tired and unable to advance. Is it possible to do this?"
Zhang Yun asked, "General Taishi, won't you attack?"
Taishi Ci raised his sword eyebrows and shouted: "If you attack Wang Can and win, I will go to Wu County in person, plead for you in front of my lord, and recommend you as the prefect of Jiujiang County; if you attack Wang Can without permission, you will be defeated."
If you come back, I will kill you without mercy."
"The final general honors your order."
Zhang Yun did not expect that Tai Shici would fall out if he said so, but he did not dare to refute.
Who is Wang Can?
Even Sun Jian was helpless. How could Zhang Yun, a small general, defeat Wang Can? What Zhang Yun just said was just to stimulate Taishi Ci, but he didn't expect to be frightened by Taishi Ci.
Taishi Ci shouted: "Dong Xi listens to the order!"
"The end is here!"
Dong Xi was a general who followed Sun Ce and stayed in Jiujiang this time to assist Tai Shici in guarding Jiujiang.
Taishi Ci shouted: "I order you to lead three thousand soldiers to Qichun County and lead the army to station there. If Wang Can leads the army to Jiujiang, you will follow the plan and pretend to attack Wang Can and harass the Shu army. All you have to do is harass the Shu army along the way.
, but there is no need to send troops to attack Wang Can, leaving them exhausted and unable to have the energy to move on."
"promise!"
Dong Xi responded with cupped fists, and then retreated into the army.
Seeing that he had no role to play, Sun Yi clasped his fists and asked, "General Taishi, what should I do?"
Taishi Ci smiled and said: "Third Young Master, you lead five thousand soldiers to Chaisang County and station in Chaisang. At the same time, you contact the First Young Master and Gong Jin, coordinate with their naval forces, and intercept the Shu army coming to Jiujiang.
By the same token, you don't need to attack Wang Can, you just need to harass him, and the final battle location will be Jiujiang."
When Sun Yi heard this, he became anxious.
He didn't want to do those harassing things, and he was more comfortable fighting. Sun Yi rolled his eyes and thought that the general would not accept the military orders outside. After he went to Chaisang, he would be the general leading the army. When the time comes, he would be the commander-in-chief, whether to fight or not.
Harassment depends on the situation at that time. Sun Yi held his fists and said honestly: "I will obey your orders!"
Dong Xi said worriedly: "General, if more than 10,000 soldiers have left, Jiujiang City will be in danger!"
Taishi Ci said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter, I have my own plan." After a pause, Taishi Ci waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please go down. I hope everyone can perform their duties and don't get into trouble."
"promise!"
All the civil and military officials clasped their hands and left, leaving only Taishi Ci.
…
On the Yangtze River, ten stern boats sailed with the wind, heading toward Xiakou at lightning speed.
These ten ships were all Jiangdong warships, and on one of them, Sun Ce stood tall. He stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the Shu navy camp getting closer and closer, with boiling fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
Approaching the water village, Sun Ce shouted: "Drum!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!"
War drums were placed on board the ten sterns.
When the rumbling war drums sounded on the ship where Sun Ce was, the sounds of war drums also sounded on the other nine ships. All the war drums gathered together and soared into the sky, causing the navy soldiers in the water village to stop.
At this time, Gan Ning was still training his navy.
He heard the sound of war drums and immediately led his troops to check without waiting for the soldiers to report.
Gan Ning saw the Jiangdong warship outside the camp, and found that Sun Ce was on the bow. An intriguing smile appeared on his lips. Sun Ce took the initiative to bring ten ships to kill him. He must have a plan, and Gan Ning could guess it.
The reason why Sun Ce came here was that he selected more than 40,000 soldiers for training, so Sun Ce hurried over to provoke him and wanted to eliminate hidden dangers.
Sun Ce is a fish eager to eat bait, while Gan Ning is a fisherman who is neither arrogant nor impetuous.
Gan Ning looked at Sun Ce and yelled: "Sun Ce, son, he only brought ten stern boats to kill him. How brave he is."
Sun Ce yelled: "Gan Ning, my navy warships are here, do you dare to fight?"
Gan Ning sneered. Such a clumsy method was obviously to lure him out to fight, and then take the opportunity to fake defeat, thereby luring him to pursue. Such a simple reason, Gan Ning simply looked down upon. He turned to Jiang Qin and ordered
: "Gong Yi, ask the soldiers to prepare rockets immediately, and I will hold Sun Ce back."
After finishing speaking, Gan Ning shouted: "My son Sun Ce, if you want to fight, do I have to fight you? Humph, you think I don't know what you are thinking? It's just taking advantage of my naval army to be destroyed.
, right now when you are just training, you want to take advantage and lower the morale of my army, your frivolous behavior has long been seen through."
While speaking, Gan Ning changed his words again.
Sun Ce stood on the battleship, his brows furrowed, his mind racing, and he kept thinking. He thought for a moment, and then shouted: "Jinfan thief, so what if I took advantage? Do you dare to fight?"
Sun Ce wanted to provoke Gan Ning and gain the initiative.
Gan Ning laughed loudly and shouted: "Xiaoer Sun Ce, if you want to fight, I will accompany you."
Immediately, Gan Ning shouted: "My sons, are you ready?"
Jiang Qin smiled and shouted: "Ready!" Immediately afterwards, the archers brought by Jiang Qin also shouted "Ready". The huge roar spread, which made Sun Ce overjoyed. As long as Gan Ning led
Once the soldiers go to war, everything will be easy to talk about.
Gan Ning sneered and shouted: "Let go!"
"Boo! Boom! Boom!!!!"
Thousands of bows and arrows wrapped in oilcloth were ignited and shot out quickly. The flaming bows and arrows drew fiery red arcs in the air, and finally shot towards the cockroach brought by Sun Ce. Nearly a thousand rockets covered the sky and blocked the sun.
, the surface of the river turned red. When the bow and arrow hit the stern ship brought by Sun Ce, it immediately began to burn.
When Sun Ce saw this, he was so angry that his eyes almost split.
He thought Gan Ning was telling his soldiers to prepare for battle, but he didn't expect that Gan Ning was preparing to launch rockets.
For a moment, Sun Ce was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed his mother, but no matter how angry he was, he did not let Gan Ning send troops to pursue him. Moreover, the boats he brought were hit by many rockets, so the soldiers had no time to fight and could only keep putting out the fire.
In desperation, Sun Ce ordered to retreat.
