After agreeing with Wei Yan's idea, Gan Ning continued to talk about his big plan. In the final analysis, this guy, Wei Yan and Guan Yu were all in the same league. They were like-minded people who liked to take risks. How could he deal with the other party's risky plan?
It would be strange to object.
When these two people get together, Cao Cao can only be unlucky.
"You take Xiapi here, and I will continue to send troops from Huaiyin to the west along the river, Huailing, Zhongli, Shouchun, Dangtu, Xiacai, Yangquan, and when the formal troops along the Huaihe River are empty and there are no generals to garrison, there are
I, Huang Xu, and Zhou Tai work together to capture the front line of the Huaihe River with ease."
"With the naval force present and defending along the Huaihe River, even with three times the force, Cao Jun will never be able to break through the defense line. When the time comes, I want to see what Cao Jun can do to me!"
"It's not that I look down on Cao Jun's navy power, but..." Gan Ning pouted and spread his hands helplessly at Wei Yan with a 'wry' smile, "Cao Jun, do you have a navy force?!"
"Hahahaha." Wei Yan burst out laughing after hearing this. Indeed, Cao Jun's navy was left behind by the Jingzhou Army. Now it is trapped in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It is simply a dream to support the Huaihe River Basin.
Wei Yan drew a line along the Huaihe River Basin with his finger on the map, then looked up at Gan Ning and said with a smile: "This blow will be very painful for Cao Cao!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Cao Cao established his capital in Suiyang, which is in the north of Yuzhou and not too far from the Huaihe River. Gan Ning was like stabbing Boss Cao in the side, and Boss Cao might be furious.
After agreeing to strengthen communication with Wei Yan, Gan Ning would turn around and leave every time he wasted time. For him, once this plan was perfectly implemented, he would definitely be the star of the battle. By then, he would be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and his name would be retained.
Qingshi, that's not something you can capture at your fingertips.
Thinking of how the future history books will record how wise and mighty he is, how majestic he is, how his descendants will be proud of him, and how his reputation will be sung throughout the ages... Hehe, hehe, bursts of somewhat suppressed and proud little voices sounded in the night sky.
I sucked it and wiped the corners of my mouth. Just enjoying it like this, my waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer painful, I can run back and forth in one breath, and my whole body is full of energy!
…
Above the sea, large ships are connected one after another. Not only are all the warships accumulated by Liu Bei's command over the years gathered here, but also a large number of ships built by the private sector after the development of overseas trade. It can be said that there are ten ships of the Han Dynasty.
Six or seven of them gathered here.
Standing on his flagship, Gan Ning was so high-spirited that he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.
These ships are all sea ships. Even if the Huaihe River is not as depleted as it was two thousand years ago, it is still not to the point where it can sail large sea ships. Therefore, most of the ships cannot meet Gan Ning's requirements. This still requires him
Filter carefully.
Of course, this does not mean that large-scale ships cannot be put to use. After occupying Guangling County, coastal defense and logistics transportation will still require these large-scale ships.
On the flagship, Gan Ning told Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and Huang Xu a series of his plans. The three of them looked at each other, as if this was indeed the case.
If Gan Ning can't take risks, is he still Gan Ning?
However, Zhou Tai was confident. Last time Gan Ning led him and Jiang Qin to capture the two counties of Jizhou within half a month and became famous in the world. Although this time the target was changed to Cao Cao, is there any difference?
They are all a bunch of people who don't know how to write the word "Navy Army". At this point, there is no difference between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
The plan was drawn up and more than two hundred large and small ships were selected, of which civilian ships accounted for nearly half. There was no way, river ships were not the main focus of the navy, but Liu Bei's civilian ship manufacturing technology also exceeded this.
There are many eras, so it’s not necessarily bad in comparison.
There are more than 30,000 naval officers and soldiers. Except for the 10,000 people who are used to ensure the normal operation of the navy, the remaining 20,000 people have all changed ships. Someone was sent here to inform Wei Yan of the specific date of their action.
After a day of repairs, under the leadership of Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Huang Xu, a fleet of 300 ships rushed up the Huaihe River. At the same time, Jiang Qin led the naval fleet southward, preparing to sail along the Yangtze River.
At the mouth of the sea, we directly took Guangling County and governed Guangling, Jiangdu, Xingguo, Hailing and other coastal counties.
Only a hundred miles upstream from the estuary is Huaipu. Huaipu is built along the river, with convenient transportation and fertile land. It is considered a big city in Xuzhou as a whole. In addition, it is not on the front line and has never encountered any war.
There is no defense at all. The people stationed in the city are all county soldiers. As for their combat power... they are quite good at bullying ordinary people.
Sneak attack?
nonexistent!
In the eyes of Gan Ning and others, there is absolutely no need for a sneak attack on this kind of city. It is simply insulting. Before the army arrived, in order not to waste time, Gan Ning and the other three took off directly into the sky and climbed to the top of the city. Under the explosion of Gang Qi,
One person for a moment, and then... nothing more.
After the blow, there was no one standing on the top of the city. They were either dead or kneeling. A few people who were frightened crazy wanted to run away, but were knocked down by a few blasts of wind from Gan Ning, who screamed and fell.
Died on the spot.
For the rest, the army occupied the pier, marched into the city in neat formations, received prisoners, and pacified some of the short-sighted guys in the city who took advantage of the situation to cause trouble.
Reason? Drive away?
nonexistent!
With one slash, the heads fell to the ground. A small number of cavalry charged and killed them on several main roads, and there was no commotion at all.
"What should we do with these guys? Should we just kill them?" Zhou Tai not only glanced back and forth at the county officials unkindly, but was so frightened that the legs of the group of people trembled involuntarily.
This is not a question of whether you have the guts or not to be afraid of death!
Think about it, a group of people are watching singing, dancing, and eating a banquet, and suddenly the Han army comes in. They kill and scrape them without saying a word. There is no reason at all. Who the hell can stand this!
Sitting in the county office, looking at the somewhat embarrassed county magistrate, county lieutenant and others, Gan Ning flashed a smile in his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Don't kill for now, it seems that our Han army is some kind of murderer."
Just like people, let’s lock them up first.”
Not a murderer?
Do you believe this yourself?
"Yes, yes, the king of Han is benevolent and virtuous, and the whole world knows it. A general cannot slaughter his subjects without reason." The county magistrate hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Lock them up? How can we have the time and energy? There are still more than a dozen cities to fight behind. What if we keep them and cause trouble for us later?" These words have been planned for a long time, regardless of Zhou Tai's acting skills.
Whether it's up to the standard or not, it's definitely scary enough just to say this with such dignity.
