Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Spring Festival of 207 AD was a time for people everywhere to celebrate the New Year.  In the Luling Crocodile Kou military camp, General Sun Gao was drinking with his lieutenants. At the same time, he ordered the Huotou Army to cook a delicious meal and improve the food for the defenders.  "Hey, brother-in-law, it seems that this group of Sun soldiers are still celebrating the festival and there is no strict defense at all." On a high slope to the west of Crocodile Mouth, Lu Rui led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and three thousand elite Wumanxi soldiers.  The swordsmen were ambushing here, preparing to attack the defenders at Crocodile Kou.  "Brother-in-law, it seems that they are having a meal. Let's rush down now and make a surprise attack. We will definitely win." Shamoko waved his fist. His hands were already itchy, so he was about to raise his fists and kill Sun Jun down the mountain.  "Samoko, don't be anxious. This place is very close to Luling. If we launch an attack now, I'm afraid the defenders of Luling will arrive soon." Lu Rui held down Samoko and signaled him not to be impulsive.  "Brother-in-law, isn't this your plan? Let the Luling garrison come to support so that the second brother-in-law can attack Luling." Shamoko scratched his head and looked at Lu Rui doubtfully. Isn't this Lu Rui's plan?  Lu Rui changed his strategy?  "Shamoke, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and any strategy must adapt to the battlefield environment. I originally thought that the defenders of Luling were not fearful, but now judging from the investigation, the defenders of Luling are well guarded and want to attack Xialu  I'm afraid Ling will have to change his strategy." Lu Rui smiled slightly. The rapid changes on the battlefield are unpredictable. Only in this way can the commander's talents be demonstrated. This is also an opportunity for Shamoko to learn well.  Because in ancient times, intelligence was collected by people, drawn into drawings, and then reported to the commander.  Because we rely on people to collect information.  The span of time is very long.  Generally, the actual situation will deviate from the situation reported by the spies.  The most important thing is ancient information.  Usually they only report key military information, such as the distance between the two places, the general terrain, etc. Lu Rui originally thought that he could attack Luling by encircling the points and calling for reinforcements. However, once he arrived in Luling and actually surveyed the terrain, he discovered that Luling  The mausoleum is not so easy to break.  Luling is a county in the south of Poyang Lake, connected to the Poyang Lake water system.  There is also a strong water network around Luling.  Without a strong naval force, it would be difficult to control the situation here.  "Brother Rui, it seems that after the actual investigation, the situation in Luling is a bit complicated. Even if we can capture this crocodile mouth, we may not be able to capture Luling." After listening to the spies' report, Cao Chong also shook his head. If Luling  If the guard of the mausoleum was not stupid, Lu Rui's strategy would be useless.  Crocodile Pass is the entrance from Luling to Chaisang County. It is surrounded by water on three sides, except the west.  Three miles away from Wu Jun's military camp at Crocodile Kou is a deep swamp with many man-eating crocodiles in it.  Hence the origin of the crocodile mouth.  Luling County is similar to Crocodile Kou, also surrounded by water on three sides. However, the south side of Luling County where it connects to Jiaozhou is a canyon. As long as the canyon is defended, Luling County will be as strong as Mount Tai.  Although Lu Rui has 55,000 soldiers from Manxi, he is not strong in water warfare and is good at mountain warfare. Now even if Lu Rui raids the crocodile mouth and Luling's army comes to rescue, Lu Rui will not be able to capture the victory.  Lower Luling, because Luling is surrounded by water on three sides, and only the south is land. To capture the south, you must detour to Jiaozhou.  The ancients once described the terrain of Lingnan as being far away in the horizon and right before our eyes.  What I¡¯m talking about is the peculiarity of Lingnan¡¯s terrain. If you stand on a small slope and see a mountain peak not far away, the straight-line distance is only two or three miles, but the actual distance may be dozens of miles or even  It's hundreds of miles of road.  This is a portrayal of the mountains, water and ravines in Lingnan!  "Cangshu, sent someone to inform Zihuan that the battle strategy has changed. Let Zihuan's army move closer to Crocodile Kou. As long as our army attacks Crocodile Kou, we will station there. At the same time, we sent someone to inform Luling of our army's strength.  Wu Jun. "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and Lu Rui needs to assess the situation and make his own judgment.  "Yes, Brother Rui, I understand. I will immediately ask the people from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to inform the second brother. Then I will send three people to wait at the original end of the march of the second brother, in case the second brother misses our spies." Cao Pi and Lu Rui still have  During the two-day march, Cao Chong made a prudent arrangement.  "Yes!" Lu Rui nodded. Cao Chong already had the air of a king and was flawless in everything he did.  "Brother-in-law, are we still going to kill this crocodile? Are we just wasting our lives here?" Shamoke didn't know what Lu Rui and Cao Chong were planning. He just wanted to rush out and kill Sun Jun below.  "Don't worry Samoko, there are only a thousand people here. Of course we have to kill the crocodile, but not at this time, we will do it at midnight." Lu Rui comforted Samoko and told him, you are the one who will kill him.  Opportunities will not come to you in vain.  "Okay, in that case, I'll go eat some dry food and wait until night to kill him."Peaceful!  "Shamoke chuckled, showing two rows of white teeth. When two armies fight, the commander not only needs strategy and bravery, but also patience. Calmness and endurance are often important factors that test the ability of the commanders of the two armies. " The color of the sky  When the light was still on, Lu Rui took out his homemade chessboard and played chess with Cao Chong on the hillside. After several games, Lu Rui lost to Cao Chong. Not only did he lose his chess skills, but he also lost a lot of money. Cao Chong  Following Lu Rui, he was a bad gambler sometimes! As the sky gradually darkened, it was impossible to play chess. Lu Rui lay on the grass and looked at the stars in the sky, chatting about his family affairs.  Rui's behavior has long been adapted, and he chatted with Lu Rui about family affairs, but Shamoke couldn't adapt. He shouted to kill him several times. Lu Rui and Cao Chong sang and used Cao Hua as a threat to kill Sha Moke.  Moko clung to the hillside. After several noises, Samoko seemed to calm down and finally fell asleep while listening to Lu Rui and Cao Chong chatting.  Woke up!  "Time passed by, midnight fell, and a new day was about to begin. Lu Rui pushed Shamoke beside him, who was still sleepwalking with Duke Zhou at this time. "Brother-in-law  ?  "Shamoke rubbed his tired eyes and glanced at Lu Rui. "Shamoke, it's time to attack.  Don't you want to kill the enemy general?  This is your chance to make a difference.  "Lu Rui pointed to Sun Jun's barracks below. There were scattered firelights in the barracks. The Spring Festival dinner should be over. Most of Sun Jun's soldiers have gone to bed, and only a few soldiers are guarding and vigilant. At this time, it is  "It's finally time for me to show off my skills. Brother-in-law, don't worry. I will kill the enemy general and make his head into a wine glass and give it to Hua'er."  "Shamoko waved his fist and raised the sword. He called a few confidants and walked down the mountain. Lu Rui and Cao Chong looked at each other and swallowed. If Cao Hua knew that the wine glass sent by Samoko was  You will probably vomit out your stomach water. The barbarians like to use the human bones of their enemies to make various ornaments to show their military exploits.  It's safe, I don't want the Cao family's son-in-law to die like this.  "Shamoko's character is reckless, and it's his first time to go into battle. Lu Rui has to think about Cao Hua's future happiness. "I understand.  Please rest assured, Mr. Hou.  "Dian Wei nodded, followed with his bodyguards. "Brother Chong.  We were eating some fruit. After eating the fruit, it is estimated that the enemy's camp will fall into our hands.  " "Hey, okay, Brother Rui, you better understand me. I don't like to charge into battle, just come up with strategies.  "Cao Chong took out a pineapple from his package and peeled it skillfully with a dagger. "Brother, it's so cold, is there any wine?  "The guards at the entrance of the military camp were still thinking about the fine wine given by Sun Gao, but it was a pity that each person only had one cup. After drinking it, it was gone. He was really stupid. Why didn't he keep a sip to relieve the cold in such a cold day? "You damn thing.  Boy, it's not enough for me to drink a glass of wine as a reward. You are really an alcoholic. I have thought about it for you. Brother's share of the wine is still in the military tent. When the shift is over, we will drink it separately. We are old.  , I am also bearish on drinks.  "The older guard spat and touched the younger guard's head. "Hey, thank you, old  "Before the young guard finished speaking, the two guards made a muffled sound and were dealt with by Shamoko. "You idiot, you are still thinking about drinking. I will kill you all tonight. You all drink.  No more wine.  "Shamoko kicked the bodies of the two guards and showed a disdainful expression. "Listen, ten people form a team, get rid of the patrolling soldiers, then rush into the military tent, kill everyone on sight, and ask for a knife.  Cutting the throat, don't let anyone go!  "Shamoke glared at the soldiers behind him. This was his first time on the battlefield to make military exploits. He must not be embarrassed. "Prince, don't worry, let Sun Jun see how powerful our Wumanxi is. We were always bullied by the Han in the past.  Now that we also have good weapons, it's time for revenge.  "Shamoko's soldiers were very excited. Their relatives were killed by Han dog officials, and they could finally take revenge. "You damn boy, be careful what you say. They are bad Han people, not all Han people. Your princess is still  Han people!  "Shamoko knocked the soldier on the head. We must distinguish between good and bad Han people. The good Han people help Wumanxi! "Yes, yes, yes!  The prince is right, kill all those bad Han people!  " "It's bad, General, it's bad, someone is attacking the camp!"  "Just when Sun Gao was sleeping soundly, the guards suddenly rushed into Sun Gao's tent, covered in blood. "Were you attacked?  "Sun Gao?He poured the water from the copper basin in front of him on his head. After a moment of sobriety, he heard the sound of fighting outside.  "The enemy troops are all enemy troops. General, retreat quickly!" The soldiers were at a loss and just told Sun Gao that the enemy troops were all outside the camp.  Seeing the panic of his soldiers, Sun Gao knew that there must be quite a few enemy troops attacking the military camp. Thinking of this, Sun Gao picked up his sword, put on his armor, rushed out of the military tent, and broke out to the east.  An hour later, Lu Rui brought Cao Chong to Sun Jun's military camp. At this time, the military camp was full of corpses. Many of the corpses were only wearing a thin piece of clothing. Because it was a surprise attack, many people were still dreaming.  He was beheaded by the soldiers of Wumanxi.  "Shi A, you send people to rebuild the defense of the general camp, and let Xiahoulan continue to station on the hillside with the tiger and leopard cavalry. Then you take my soldiers to the east of the crocodile mouth to station as our army.  "The former military outpost." Lu Rui ordered Shi A to take care of the aftermath, and then continued to patrol and clean up the battlefield with Cao Chong.  "By the way, where did Samoko go?" Lu Rui looked around, as if Samoko was not there.  "Master Marquis, Shamoko went to chase the enemy general. My father followed with his bodyguard. Father asked me to stay and inform the Marquis." Dianman followed Lu Rui and explained to Lu Rui.  "I see, when they come back, you let them come to see me!" "Yes, Lord Marquis, I understand." Dianman bowed his hands and retreated.  Just after cleaning the battlefield, Shamoko came back with Sun Gao's head.  Holding the bloody head.  Show off in front of Lu Rui and Cao Chong.  When Lu Rui saw Shamoko's appearance, he quickly stopped his showing off. Lu Rui couldn't adapt to such a scene where he was joking about people.  The next day, the battle report on the loss of Crocodile Kou was presented to Sun Yi.  "Brother, Crocodile Pass has been lost, what about our way north?" Sun Shao on the side saw the battle report and looked at Sun Yi in panic.  "Brother, don't be nervous. The Crocodile Pass has been lost, and the threat to our Luling is not great. But I'm very curious, who is this army? Why did they attack Crocodile Pass? Is it Cao's army? I'll wait for this matter.  Find out slowly and then make plans. "Sun Yi has the legacy of Sun Ce and is an expert in marching and fighting.  Sun Shao nodded, his brother is still very good, he can still stay calm when encountering such a thing.  Soon, the accurate information about Crocodile Mouth was returned by Sun Jun¡¯s spies.  The army that captured Crocodile Kou was Cao Jun, and its commander was Lu Rui. Lu Rui borrowed 50,000 troops from Wuman River. The purpose of capturing Wuman River this time was to attack Chaisang and Poyang Lake from the rear, and to fight with the enemy in the north.  Cao's troops responded to each other and attempted to capture Sun Quan's Chaisang and Lujiang counties.  "An army of fifty thousand?" Sun Shao took a breath. The army of fifty thousand is half of Sun Quan's total strength now. Wumanxi's army is all from the south. Unlike Cao Cao's northern army, they are good at fighting in the jungles of the south.  Fighting in the middle, these people are much more difficult to deal with than the cavalry in the north.  "Brother, we must recapture the crocodile's mouth as soon as possible. If the crocodile's mouth is strangled by Cao's army, will my lord go south?" Sun Shao's worry is not unreasonable. Although there is a large amount of water in Luling, if Sun Quan and Cao Cao are in  If the battle in the north fails, they will inevitably retreat from Luling to Jiaozhou. There may not be enough ships by then. Taking back Crocodile Kou will allow Sun Quan to advance, attack, and retreat to defend.  "Brother, don't be nervous. Things haven't come to the worst yet. We are assisting the garrison in Luling. The safety of Luling is our responsibility. We have to consider the matter of the crocodile mouth in the long run." Sun Yi calmly told Sun Shao  Analyzed the current strengths and weaknesses of Sun Quan's army.  Sun Quan has been operating in Chaisang and Lujiang for many years, and has wiped out the strength of local aristocratic families. In terms of foundation, it is much deeper than that of Wujun and Kuaiji. Although Cao Cao's army is powerful, it can cross the waters of the Yangtze River and adapt to the battle in the south.  There is only Cai Mao's navy.  In this way, Sun Quan actually had an advantage compared to Cao Cao's military strength.  As long as Sun Quan holds on for three months, in the summer, even if Cao Cao wants to retreat, the soldiers in the north will definitely be dissatisfied with the climate, and then Sun Quan will take the initiative.  Although Lu Rui borrowed a large army and captured Crocodile Kou, Crocodile Kou did not affect Sun Quan's overall situation compared to Luling.  Lu Rui explained his military strength to Sun Jun in such a high-profile manner, perhaps there was an ulterior secret.  "Brother, I think you are too reckless. From what my brother said, Lu Rui may really have a conspiracy. We'd better inform the lord and wait and see what happens." After hearing Sun Yi's words, Sun Shao felt that it was very reasonable. Lu Rui's  Zhimou had already surprised Sun's people when he captured Wu Commandery and Kuaiji. Now he had to be careful when facing Lu Rui.  "Well, quickly report the military situation here to the lord, and at the same time suggest the lord borrow troops from Jiaozhou Shixie. If Lu RuiI'm afraid my lord will also feel uncomfortable if he leads an army of 50,000 people to the north.  "Sun Yi made a decision immediately, wait and see what happens, and see what Lu Rui's real plan is! "Brother Rui, it seems that this Sun Yi is quite cautious. He only sent spies to collect intelligence near us, but did not send any spies.  Da Jun seems to be a man who uses his troops cautiously.  "On the morning of the third day, Sun Yi had not taken any action, and Cao Pi's army would arrive at the crocodile mouth in the afternoon. "Those who are careful with their troops will not leave the city easily. In this case, we can only rely on strategies to attack Luling.  " Lu Rui threw away the spy's information and rubbed his temples. A calm general is really difficult to deal with. "Brother Rui, don't worry about this. If Sun Yi really sticks to Luling, we will send our army north and defeat him.  Without Sun Quan, Luling would be meaningless. Sun Quan's main force is now locked in a stalemate with Cai Mao along the Yangtze River. Chai Sang's rear is empty. I don't believe that with our 50,000 army, we can't create some trouble for Sun Quan!  "Cao Chong smiled slightly and continued to eat the good fruits of Lingnan. "Brother Chong is right. Now our army has the initiative. No matter how the situation develops, we are now in an invincible position. As for the headache, of course it is the exchange of goods.  Give it to Sun Jun.  " Lu Rui also laughed after hearing what Cao Chong said. What Cao Chong said is reasonable. He should also enjoy the fun of being in an invincible position. Whatever Sun Jun does, Lu Rui can take over when the time comes. Sun Yi's battle report  Soon they were sent to Chaisang. Sun Quan was shocked when he learned that 50,000 troops led by Lu Rui suddenly appeared in his rear. He quickly called for civil and military discussions. Finally, Sun Quan decided to send Zhang Zhao as an envoy to Jiaozhou to visit Shi Xie's family.  As a condition, let Shi Xie send troops to contain Lu Rui's 50,000 troops (To be continued) PS: Thank you for your great support!
