Chapter 371 Sun Shangxiang’s transformation
Li Qi looked at Sun Shangxiang curiously. Although he didn't have any hope for her, it didn't hurt to listen to what she had to say.
Sun Shangxiang said: "General Gan Ning is good at water warfare, but it is a pity that he does not have powerful warships. This is what the saying goes, 'It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice'. I would like to return to Wu County and persuade my brother to dispatch warships from Jianye for support."
.”
After hearing this, Li Qi turned around silently, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, without saying a word.
If Sun Shangxiang can do it, it will naturally be the best way to attack Ruxukou, but will Sun Quan be so kind?
If he were Sun Quan, he would wish that Li Qi was in a stalemate. When Cao Pi's main army arrives, Li Qi will inevitably be under unprecedented pressure. By then, Sun Quan will raise troops from Danyang to fight against Cao Wei and Li Qi will be defeated.
It's hard to say whether defeating Li Qi would maximize Sun Quan's interests, but Sun Quan would definitely do it.
Therefore, Li Qi can accept Sun Shangxiang's kindness, but it may not be effective.
When Sun Shangxiang saw that Li Qi was silent, he added: "I have my own way to convince my brother. Even if this matter fails, I will return to Wuhu as soon as possible. You are right. Whether others can carry it clearly is their business. I
You will be able to carry it clearly by yourself."
Li Qi thought for a while, treating a dead horse as a living horse. Maybe Sun Quan would not borrow the warship for nothing, and it would not be too late to discuss what conditions he proposed.
So Li Qi sent Zhang San and fifty sergeants to follow Sun Shangxiang to Wu County, taking good care of him along the way.
Zhang San wanted to refuse at first. As Li Qi's little follower, he had suffered a lot from Sun Shangxiang in those years. Zhang San had never had a good impression of this arrogant and domineering young lady.
But Zhang San not only obeyed the orders given by Li Qi himself, but also obeyed them.
After Sun Shangxiang left, Pang Tong advised Li Qi again: "Don't place all your hopes on Mrs. Sun. In fact, there is a stupid way. I don't know if my lord is willing to try it."
Li Qidao: "Just tell me and listen."
Pang Tong said: "We can let General Gan Ning deal with Jiang Ji here, and the Lord will lead the main force to pass through Danyang County, detour northward from Yuzhang County, and then go to Wancheng to join Yunchang. As long as we reach the land, we can use our
It has the advantage in mountain warfare, and the cavalry may not lose to the Wei army."
Li Qi sighed and said, "This method is really stupid. I'm afraid we won't have enough time."
Li Qi was referring to the rush before Cao Pi's main force could join Jiang Ji. Moreover, the army had to go around for thousands of miles. Even if it reached Wancheng, it would need more time to rest and recuperate. Not only that, but it also lost the ability to travel from two directions.
Opportunity to attack the Wei army.
Pang Tong said: "I know what my lord is worried about. In fact, if we speed up the march, we may not be able to meet Yunchang before Cao Pi. If we give up the detour and Mrs. Sun fails to persuade Sun Quan, I am afraid the harm will be even greater."
Li Qi thought about it and felt that what Pang Tong said was not unreasonable.
Although the naval force led by Gan Ning was weak, Jiang Ji had no intention of crossing the Yangtze River south to the east of the Yangtze River, so there was no problem with defense. In this case, there was indeed little point in keeping his main force of infantry and cavalry on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
Li Qidao: "Let's see, when fighting on the river, bows and crossbows should be the first priority. In addition to the navy led by Xingba, General Huang will lead a company of crossbows to stay in Spring Valley and fight in coordination with Xingba."
Huang Zhong: "I don't want it."
Li Qi: "..."
Huang Zhongdao: "The last general has always been the first to attack since he followed Li Yizhou. Now with such an important matter as the expedition against Cao Wei, how can the last general dare to fall behind?"
Pang Tong advised: "General Huang is old and should not travel long distances. It is better to stay in the rear."
Huang Zhongdao: "A real man should wrap his body in horse leather. Even if he dies of exhaustion on the march, he will not lag behind others."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Old General Huang is doing well, why do you want to curse?"
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment and asked: "Who did I scold?"
Li Qi raised his chin towards Gan Ning and said, "Aren't you saying that General Xingba is willing to lag behind others?"
Gan Ning: "..."
Unexpectedly, I was hit by an arrow even while lying down.
Huang Zhong quickly explained: "Xingba, I don't mean that. Don't get me wrong. I just want to get in first."
Gan Ning said: "If General Huang is willing to get there first, he can lead the navy to attack."
Huang Zhong had no choice but to tell the truth: "I...I am indeed old and seasick."
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
Huang Zhong's face turned blue and white for a while, and said: "What's so funny? I'll be the first to get there for the navy."
Huang Zhong has a stubborn temper. In the original historical trajectory, it can be said that he was stubborn.
Liu Bei just wanted to praise Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, and said, "In the past, all my generals were old and useless. Now that my nephew is such a hero, why should I care about Sun Quan?" However, Huang Zhong heard "Old and useless" four times.
This word led five or six people with him deep into the hinterland of Yiling, and eventually died.
Li Qi must take a warning from the same thing and prevent it from happening again.
Li Qi pressed Huang Zhong aside for the time being, and then blamed Pang Tong: "Shi Yuan, we almost forgot an important event, and you didn't remind me."
"Ah?" Pang Tong was just stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and said: "Yes, yesterday Zhang Wenyuan came to report that there was a sudden movement of Jiangdong soldiers in Danyang County. Although Sun Quan may have just mobilized troops normally, we have to
Be on guard."
Li Qi nodded: "That's right. Our army is in a stalemate with Cao Wei, which is a great opportunity for Sun Quan to wait for an opportunity. Although Wen Yuan is brave, he has recently come to surrender, and I am afraid that many of his officers and soldiers will be dissatisfied. We need to keep one who is mature and prudent.
The general will assist you."
Huang Zhong: "..."
Mature and prudent?
Among these people, who is as old as me and who is as important as me?
Aren't you just talking about me?
Li Qi said seriously: "Huang Zhong obeys the order."
Huang Zhong was helpless. Since Li Qi had spoken in the form of military orders, he had to obey them no matter what. This was not only a sign of respect for his superiors, but also a necessary self-cultivation for a general.
Li Qi continued: "I order you to lead three thousand crossbowmen and coordinate with Zhang Liao to guard against Sun Quan."
Huang Zhong sighed: "I obey. The veteran will fulfill his duties faithfully and live up to the trust entrusted by the lord."
But it was said that Sun Shangxiang and his entourage returned to Wu County and went straight to Sun Quan's mansion - she knew that the matter was urgent and did not bother to go home to visit her mother.
A servant from Wu Guotai's palace saw Sun Shangxiang from a distance on the street, and hurriedly returned to the palace to inform Guotai.
When Guotai heard this, he was both panicked and sad.
It seems that this daughter cannot be sent away!
Thinking of this, Wu Guotai was not angry at all. Speaking of his first servant, it was naturally Sun Quan.
In order to gain peace in Jiangdong, Sun Quan used his sister as a bargaining chip, twice. How could Wu Guotai not be angry?
