The first day of battle ended like this. The three armies gathered outside Zhijiang City. All the famous generals from all sides showed up. In the end, it was difficult to determine the winner.
With this result, all three parties are quite satisfied.
For Liu Bei, the outstanding performance of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei blocked Liu Ke's army, which naturally made him look good.
On Sun Quan¡¯s side, although Ding Feng appeared a little late, he was indistinguishable from Xu Huang, which also improved morale.
Looking at it this way, Liu Ke seems to be the party with the least gain, but what the other two families don't know is this.
It turned out that the battle outside Zhijiang City was not Liu Ke's goal at all. His thoughts were all on Ling Tong's navy.
During the battle, Ling Tong's navy had quietly bypassed the opponent's defense line while Sun Quan and Liu Bei were not paying attention.
Then he led his troops southward without hesitation, and now they have reached the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Ling Tong¡¯s fleet entered the Yangtze River from Tuoshui River. As soon as they arrived, they were shocked by the majestic river surface in front of them.
Although during the Yangzhou campaign, Ling Tong galloped across the Yangtze River and defeated countless enemy troops.
But that is already the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Although the river is wide, the water has become gentle.
Naturally, there is no such middle reaches area, and the turbulent rush will shock people even more.
Especially here, the Yangtze River gathers water from all directions from the mountains in Yizhou and Jingxi, and enters the Jianghan Plain for the first time.
Not only does the water surface suddenly become wider, but the current is still rushing, giving people the shock of thousands of horses galloping.
Under such a scene, after Ling Tong got over the initial shock, he became worried about the upcoming battle.
Because the water flow on the river was very fast and there were various whirlpools and countercurrents under the water, Ling Tong had no choice but to sail the ship back to Tuoshuikou and stay put for the time being.
It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to attack now, but it¡¯s the first time he enters the Yangtze River, whether it¡¯s him or his soldiers.
We don¡¯t know much about the water potential of the Yangtze River, so a hasty attack will cause greater losses.
Therefore, after Ling Tong was stationed, he immediately began to make arrangements.
"Our army has just entered the Yangtze River and is completely unaware of the local environment and situation. In order to avoid being at a loss after the war begins, we must be familiar with it in advance.
Sheng Siam, Luo Tong, you have led the navy to get used to it on the river these days.
But remember to do it in batches to avoid being noticed by the defenders on the south bank.
??The general will lead a dozen personal followers, disguised as Yangzhou merchants, and explore the enemy's situation in the surrounding area!
Remember, all actions must be obeyed by this general. Before this general returns, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed! "
Ling Tong almost gritted his teeth and said the last word "Zhao", and the serious meaning also made all the generals present tremble.
Although Ling Tong is young, he manages the army with dignity, rewards for merit and punishment for demerit, and his subordinates have long been familiar with his style.
Therefore, Ling Tong's instructions were immediately deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
After everything was arranged, Ling Tong led his personal entourage and sailed three cargo ships upstream.
Those who were wearing them all changed into commoners, hid their weapons, and pretended to be ordinary merchants.
The boat sailed against the current on the river, but because of the strong current, it only traveled more than thirty miles until evening.
Ling Tong saw that it was getting late, the river was completely dark, and there was a layer of mist covering it.
In addition, I was not familiar with the environment of the Yangtze River, so I had to find a gentle place to rest for the night and prepare to continue walking the next day.
Unexpectedly, at dawn the next day, Ling Tong heard a noise coming from the water outside the cabin.
He hurried out to check and saw a warship coming upstream.
Out of conditioned reflex, Ling Tong immediately grabbed it from his waist, preparing to draw his knife and fight the opponent.
But when his hands were empty, he looked down and finally realized that he was now a disguised merchant, so it was naturally impossible for him to carry a sword at his waist.
So, he immediately ordered his men: "Don't act rashly, just follow the general's instructions yesterday.
Unless absolutely necessary, do not attack rashly! "
As soon as he finished the explanation, the other party's ship came closer.
I heard a soldier yelling in a rude tone: "Who are you? Get checked quickly!"
Ling Tong straightened his clothes, hurriedly came to the deck, and bowed respectfully to the other party.
"My dear military lords, I am a merchant from Yangzhou who came here specifically to do business. I hope your lords will not be embarrassed!"
Although Ling Tong said it politely, the other party's eyes were still suspicious.
The leader of the military academy said: "Doing business? Now that war is raging in Jingzhou, ordinary people can't hide. How dare you do business?"
Ling Tong quickly excused himself according to the words he had prepared yesterday.
"Master Jun, of course I know about the war here. It's just that we businessmen only deal with business and don't get involved in these things, so I think it should be fine.
¡°Besides, the war has cut off transportation, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to make a small fortune. "
After hearing this, the military academy looked at Ling Tong's appearance as a profiteer, and his inner guard gradually dropped.
While talking, he and several soldiers came to the ship where Ling Tong was.
His eyes were fixed on Ling Tong, his hand still pressed on the handle of the knife.
"From what you said, that's the same thing. But I can't just listen to your words.
As for whether it is true or false, I still have to let the general check it carefully! "
There was a chill in Ling Tong's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, and turned to a flattering expression and said: "Master Jun, you are right, how to investigate, I will definitely cooperate with you."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of horseshoe gold from his arms without leaving any trace, and quietly put it into the hands of the military academy.
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round, but seeing Ling Tong being so cooperative and sensible, the military academy was relieved that it was too difficult.
His expression softened, but as part of his duty, he still arranged for three people to enter the cabin for inspection.
"However, Ling Tong was very thoughtful and had already made arrangements, so naturally no clues were found.
"Reporting back to the general, the cabin is full of fine rice, and there are no other abnormalities!"
"What? What you're selling is rice?" The military academy's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
When Ling Tong saw the other party's expression, he thought to himself that it was not good. Could it be that the other party had already seen some flaws?
It¡¯s just that all Ling Tong had, except for swords, guns, bows, arrows, armor and horses, it was naturally impossible to sell these.
The only thing that can be disguised openly and honestly is rice.
Could it be that the other party noticed something because of the rice?
Ling Tong's mind changed rapidly, and he was quickly thinking of countermeasures.
Who would have thought that the house leaked and it rained all night, and just when the other military academy was about to speak, the last soldier came up with a knife.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of both parties changed drastically. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
