The camp of the Nanchen Army extends from the city to the shore of Mianshui River, and the Nanchen Navy is also anchored next to the camp, with the bows of the boats pointing at the water village across the Mianshui River in front of them. This water village stands on the Mianshui River, the water village
On the part facing the downstream, stakes were erected in the water and connected with iron cables in the hope of blocking the Nanchen Navy.
This water stronghold is the only barrier connecting Xiangyang and Fancheng. Xiangyang and Fan have been integrated since ancient times, and Mianshui is the lifeline of communication. Obviously, the Northern Zhou Dynasty also knew that it was no match for Nan Chen in terms of navy, so it simply adopted this defensive method.
It is not easy for Chen Shuishi to break through the defense line.
If the water village is like this, let alone Xiangyang City, which was managed by Yang Jian and Yuchi Jong, it is not impossible to call it "impregnable as gold".
Xiao Mohe strode into the Chinese army's tent. Chun Yuliang, Ren Zhong and others were already waiting here. When they saw Xiao Mohe walking in, they all raised their hands: "See you, General!"
It's just that the voice can be high or low, and you can clearly hear the dissatisfaction in Chun Yuliang's voice. For an old general who has fought for Nanchen for most of his life, he is still being suppressed by a junior.
Not to mention Wu Mingche, who even looked at his face at the beginning, and it was impossible not to feel a little bit unhappy in his heart.
Of course, for an old minister like Chun Yuliang, he was dissatisfied and still maintained basic loyalty to Nanchen. Otherwise, this time Chen Xu ordered the troops to be sent to Xiangyang, he would not have led his troops to arrive on time so much, and even started to attack Xiangyang first.
Attack on strongholds outside the city.
However, it was obvious that Yuchidun, the eldest son of Yuchijiong who was guarding the city, had no intention of fighting with the old general outside the city. Soon Hutoushan, Xianshan and other key points around Xiangyang fell into the hands of Chunyu Liang's army, making Chunyuliang the first to arrive in Xiangyang.
The army under the city.
Of course, after arriving, the old general had no intention of attacking the city directly. Xiangyang, with its high city and deep pool, has been a battleground for military strategists since the Three Kingdoms period three hundred years ago. After generations of management, this place
The city cannot be captured overnight.
Chun Yuliang didn't want to directly damage his reputation under Xiangyang City.
As for Ren Zhong, who was marching all the way to the army, he seemed more relaxed and just arrived on time.
Xiao Mohe pretended not to notice Ren Zhong's negativity in his actions and Chun Yuliang's dissatisfaction with his words. Since he was standing in this position and commanding this large army, all these were what he had expected.
Xiao Mohe slowly walked up to the position of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, his eyes swept over Chun Yuliang and Ren Zhong, and then looked at the other generals. Although he didn't understand what Xiao Mohe meant, the generals still looked at each other slightly.
Bow your head to show the most basic respect for Xiao Maha.
"According to His Majesty's order, I, General Chunyu, have taken command to attack Xiangyang!" Xiao Mohe's voice was very loud, "I think it has been two days since the army stopped at the city. General Chunyu, can you explain why you did not attack the city when you arrived at the city?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mohe would call out Chun Yuliang's name as soon as he opened his mouth. The generals around him looked a little dull. Is this the rhythm of killing the monkey and honoring the chicken? This Xiao Mohe was probably not happy because he took command and went on an expedition. It stimulated his brain.
Bar?
In addition to being one level lower than Xiao Mohe in terms of official title, Chun Yuliang's age, qualifications, etc. are all above Xiao Mohe. It stands to reason that Xiao Mohe should be respectful to Chun Yuliang. This is what he wants to say.
What does the posture of questioning guilt mean?
Obviously Chun Yuliang himself did not expect that Xiao Mohe would start with this, but he had already thought of the answer to this question: "Reporting to the general, I led the army to conquer Hutou Mountain and Xian Mountain. The soldiers were exhausted even after using their lives.
, so it is reasonable to repair it after arriving at the city. What's more, the defense situation in the city is not clear, so I thought it was inappropriate to attack rashly."
Chun Yuliang's answer was very standard and he was confident. He directly showed his military exploits. Moreover, his self-proclaimed "Old Man" was also telling Xiao Mohe that you should also pay attention to it. Everyone must save face for each other.
Xiao Mohe snorted coldly: "Our army has been planning to attack Xiangyang for a long time. The city defense of Xiangyang has been clearly planned, but now the enemy's garrison strength is only about a few. It is true that the old general has fought with the enemy one after another, but according to this
As the general knew, the enemies in these battles had no intention of resisting. They all left immediately after the first battle. The old general's troops did not suffer much losses. They could repair for one day, but the old general stayed in the city for three days, motionless, and
What does it mean?"
Chun Yuliang suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he was about to get angry. Several generals around him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hurriedly stretched out their hands to grab him. Chun Yuliang seemed to calm down and suppressed his voice: "Then according to what the general said, I am delaying the military flight."
Already?"
"This general just wants to tell you that this matter will happen again and again and again!" Xiao Mohe's voice was still cold, his eyes swept over Chun Yuliang's body, and then looked at Ren Zhong. Ren Zhong straightened his waist hurriedly, slightly
Bowing his head, it is obvious that "Zaiyi" refers to Chunyu Liang, while "Zaier" refers to Ren Zhong.
Immediately, the generals in the camp breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Mohe probably did this to establish his prestige, which was also understood by everyone. Chun Yuliang had the highest prestige, so it was normal to use Chun Yuliang for surgery.
"The general order has been issued to someone before, so I won't go into details now!" Xiao Mohe waved his hand, "Start the attack on the city from this afternoon, and the first one to break through Xiangyang will be Marquis Wanhu!"
The so-called give a carrot with a mallet, this should be a carrot. The generals had different expressions, but they all agreed with a bang. But Chun Yuliang's temper was obviously finally unbearable, and he walked straight out of the camp with a wave of his sleeves, and his
The generals under his command also held their breath and hurriedly followed.
Ren Zhong, who was left, seemed to understand something. He gave Xiao Mohe a meaningful look and also called for his subordinates to follow him.
After a while, Xiao Mohe was the only one left in the camp.
Chen Yu, who had been standing outside the camp, quickly walked in: "General, isn't this a bit too much..."
Chen Yu has been with Xiao Mohe for a long time, and his relationship with Xiao Mohe is that of subordinates and brothers, so he is probably the only one who dares to say such things.
Xiao Mohe sighed softly: "It's better not to fight this Xiangyang City..."
"This?!" Chen Yu was shocked and seemed to understand what Xiao Mohe meant by doing this.
"Xiangyang City is most likely a trap used by the Zhou people to consume our troops..." Xiao Mohe said carefully, "Although I am not sure, I always feel that it is possible. After all, although the chess game today is complicated,
But it’s also simple. With such an obvious layout, it’s impossible for the Zhou people not to see the clues...”
Chen Yu said in surprise: "General, are you saying that the Zhou people had already expected that we would attack Xiangyang?"
"This is just someone's guess." Xiao Mohe said after careful consideration, "I am not sure what Zhou people want to do, but I always have an ominous premonition."
