On the opposite side of Jingkou, on the bank of the Caoqu in the north of the Yangtze River, this is the main Chinese army station of the Great Zhou Army naval division transferred from Tokyo, with the coach Han Tong.
Han Tong glared with big eyes and an inaccessible face. He said expressionlessly: "The quarrying navy planned to move on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Xiande. Order, Yangzhou Hantong Department to attack the east side of the enemy together on the tenth morning of the first day of the day, and should try their best to break through the blockade of the canal and enter the river; if it succeeds, attack the enemy’s east side with all its strength. The commander Han Tong has the right to decide on the occasion. Jiangnan Qianying Military Mansion, written by Guo Shao."
Han Tong finished reading, "slapped" General Order on the table and raised his head.
Looking back left and right, the two generals turned their heads to look at themselves, except for him sitting alone, all standing.
Han Tong asked: "What do you think?"
A general turned his head and said: "Hit!"
Han Tong nodded: "Don't leave the basket this time. If you want to play, just have a snack. Who will lose the face of Lao Tzu, let the surname of Shi have something to say; No matter what, Lao Tzu will not be so easy to talk! Go and prepare, and leave early on the eleventh day."
Someone asked: "What if the weather there is bad or the wind direction is wrong?"
Han Tong said coldly: "Even if the world is under the knife, you have to row the warship into the river!"
……
In the Zhou Army Camp south of Jiangning City, there were only a few people in the Central Army Tent. Guo Shao looked at the few people sitting on the chairs. Li Chuyun was no longer there. He left to quarry and mobilize the navy. . Guo Shao himself is also going to rush to the quarrying village in the afternoon. This battle is very important. He thought of boosting morale on the navy ship.
"If Wankou and Chizhou are broken by the Southern Tang Army, the quarrying ferry floating bridge can also be abandoned." Guo Shaodao, "As long as the Jingkou Southern Tang Army navy division is eliminated, the Hantong Department will be able to merge with us, and also from the canal. With reinforcements from the rear of our country, we will retake the quarrying at that time; there will be more ferry crossings connecting the north and south of the river."
After he said that, he turned his head and looked at Wang Pu: "After I left the camp, Wang Shijun used the decision-making power of the land divisions of the Jiangnan Qianying Military Government United Association. Shi Yanchao, Dong Zunhao and other generals should Obey the imperial envoy."
The crowd clasped their fists and said: "Here." Wang Pu also nodded in response.
Zuo You persuaded: "Since the lord has given the navy military power to General Li (Li Chuyun), he doesn't have to go on board the ship himself."
Guo Shaodao: "The soldiers know that I am in the navy army, and the battle may be more vigorous. This battle is very important, and will establish the victory of the battle against the Southern Tang Dynasty. Mr. Zuo does not need to persuade."
A group of people talked about it again, and Guo Shao got up and walked away.
Not long after, Lu Chengyong wrung a big sack out of the army's big tent, and overtook him and handed the sack to the veteran Tan Shitou next to him: "This is something commonly used by the master, now General Tan has collected it." /
Guo Shao turned his head and said softly: "You look up to the woman named'Wang Yao', don't let her be in any danger." He couldn't help but emphasized: "Where I usually go, I want you to follow , I will leave you alone this time."
Lu Chengyong said: "At the end, remember the lord's instructions."
Guo Shao and a group of soldiers and entourage walked out of the Chinese army, looking at the entrance of the camp from a distance. There was a group of soldiers gathering there, some of them didn't even have weapons. Zuo You glanced at Guo Shao's gaze and said, "These people are miscellaneous soldiers in the camp. They will follow us to the quarry and board the ship. In the morning, I heard Wang Shijun and General Li in the Chinese army’s tent. Speaking of this, General Li prevented that the wind direction was wrong on the ninth day of the ninth lunar day. He needed people to paddle and was afraid that there would be insufficient manpower. So he asked Wang Shijun to transfer people from the land camp. Wang Shijun found some people from the army, as well as others who could still fight. Zabing. I guess it's not a big deal. I didn't tell the lord."
"So that's it." Guo Shao nodded.
...The group of people gathered at the gate of the camp are the miscellaneous soldiers summoned from the divisions in front of the temple.
The status of ordinary soldiers is not determined by seniority, let alone age. On the contrary, those brave young men are the main combat soldiers. They are in front of the battlefield and have a higher status. There are also some soldiers who have been in the army for too long and have not been promoted. They have very high military resources. The lowest-ranking soldiers... They should have been eliminated to go to the farm, but these people are very skilled and experienced in various tasks in the army. The army also needs some soldiers who usually take care of horses, cooking, etc. The old man does this.
Old man Li is one of them. He is actually in his forties, but he has been sleeping and sleeping for a long time, his face is full of gully wrinkles, and his temples are white, so he looks older, and he is called "Old Li." Li Laohan was a miscellaneous soldier under the second command of the Third Army of the Tiger and Cardiac Army. He has been in the army for nearly 30 years. He is kind and has a good relationship with the soldiers, so he has eliminated redundant soldiers several times in a row.
The war soldier Yao Erniu is also the second commander, and is helping Old Man Li carry things and send him.
"Go back, go back." Old man Li waved his hand.
Yao Erniu said: "You have to be careful." Although he didn't say anything, he looked reluctant.
Both are martial artists with little literacy, and the parting between the two is not as careful as the officials, and the words are also very simple. Old man Li said: "I just rowed, avoiding arrows."
Yao Erniu is also a dull person. He touched his forehead, turned and walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "I haven't thanked Old Man Li for that matter."
"Hehe." Old man Li smiled, "You can't tell you that kind of thing. It's not the same when it spreads from someone's mouth to Zhang's ears. It's okay, go back, go back."
They were talking about Yao Erniu trying to hide behind on the Dangtu battlefield. Later, Yao Erniu was often ridiculed by the soldiers, reporting that he had captured enemy soldiers on the battlefield, but no one believed... Then Old Man Li told the people about Yao Erniu's family affairs.
It turns out that the house that Old Man Li rented in Tokyo is not far from Yao Erniu's home. He probably knows about his home. It’s just that Yao Erniu has not been in the Forbidden Army for a long time, and he is dull. He doesn’t have much friendship with the soldiers under his command, and he is not familiar with Old Man Li. The soldiers learned that Yao Erniu’s family is a young man. The male, somewhat sympathetic, the people who had previously been unwilling to testify for him and captured the enemy soldiers also changed their minds.
When the commander Zhang Jiankui heard of this, he also changed his attitude towards Yao Erniu.
So Yao Erniu is very grateful to Old Man Li. In addition, he usually has a lot of appetite, and the old man Li often gives him an extra piece of cake as a fireman, so the age difference between the two is very large, and the relationship is good.
Seeing that Yao Erniu was gone, Old Man Li carried his package on his back and lined up with the surrounding soldiers. At this time, a military commander came to lead the troops, and the crowd followed the generals and left the barracks to the road.
The light snow in the sky is intermittent, and the surrounding is white, only the road in the middle is muddy and dark brown, extending all the way to the distance. The new journey lies in the distance that this road extends.
