Chapter 726 (1/2)
Sun Jian asked Chen Ren, of course, to discuss the matter of sending Chen Ren to the South County. However, Chen Ren was obviously hurt by Sun Jian's lack of loyalty before. He ignored Sun Jian's proposal, which made him cry and laugh.
Of course, Chen Ren just lost his temper. What he had to do was to ask zumao to take his army to Xuzhou and transfer Zhuge Liang back. Naturally, Chen Ren wanted Zhuge Liang to recruit Pang Tong who had stayed in Lujiang. Moreover, he made it clear to Sun Jian that after the war in Xuzhou, Chen would have to give Chen any big holiday, and he would guarantee that it would be more than one year. Only then did Chen Ren take Sun Jian's military orders and go to the barracks with satisfaction.
Poor Chen Ren, however, did not know that Sun Jian had a small calculation in his mind. This time, it must take some time for sun Jianqiang to merge Xuzhou and Jingzhou. In one or two years, there won't be any big war. It's better to give Chen any favor. If Chen Ren knew that Sun Jian was thinking this way, he was afraid that he would go back to seclusion with his wife and son.
First, he went home to say goodbye to his wife and sons. Although he was about to leave when he just came back, he was really reluctant to give up. But for the big holiday of more than one year, Chen Ren had to bite his teeth and leave reluctantly. Back at the barracks, Chen Ren did not say a word, but seized several leaders of the new army, saying, ”go to Xuzhou with me tomorrow!” After that, he turned around and left, leaving everyone in a daze. It took a long time for them to return to their senses. They were all sweating.
The next day, Chen Ren pulled up the new army, which had just been out for a few days, and went to Xuzhou, where war broke out.
After landing from Wulin, Chen Ren ordered the new army to take a temporary rest. After the camp was settled, Chen Ren called all the major generals and officials of the new army together to hold a short pre war meeting in Chen Ren's big tent 。
”Our target is Nanjun city. According to intelligence, there are 340000 yellow turban troops stationed in Nanjun City, and the equipment is very good!” Chen Ren simply opened the map shop on the ground in the middle of the big tent, squatting aside and pointing to the position of Nanjun city.
Zhao Yun frowned on one side and said, ”who are the generals of the other side?”
Chen Ren shook his head and replied, ”the other party's generals, the distribution of troops and the hoarding of grain and grass are not clear for the time being.”
Hearing Chen Ren's remarks, everyone frowned. They only knew the approximate total number of people, while the others were blank. This is rare for Soochow, which has always had a strong intelligence network. This in itself is a sign that the other side is definitely not like the Yellow turban army ten years ago. Although the number is large, they are all mobs. Obviously, the 340000 yellow turban army should be no inferior to the regular army. Everyone realized that this would be a tough battle.
Chen Ren continued: ”what's more, intelligence also shows that the Huangjin army gave up the cities and counties around Nanjun, such as Mianyang, jingling and Maicheng, and concentrated all their forces in one city. Obviously, they wanted to win or lose a war with us.”
Lu Meng's eyes narrowed slightly and said, ”good! This time, let's go to Shandao camp to try how powerful these yellow scarves are When speaking, he showed great confidence.
But Ding Feng was grumbling: ”no way! It's our turn to fly star camp this time
Zhao Yun and Ling Cao are silent people, but from their eyes, we can see that their desire for this battle is no less than that of LV Meng and Ding Feng, and the other generals in big tent are all boiling with blood.
Chen Ren said with a smile: ”don't worry! This time, all our new army will be on! In the previous war in Xuzhou, we used more strategies. This time, we should let the whole world know that our new army is definitely the strongest army in the world even if it is a frontal confrontation! ”
”Oh All the people were excited by Chen Ren's words. Then, under Chen Ren's command, Wenci on the side drew out another map, which was the topographic map of Nanjun city and its surrounding areas. Chen Ren made a gesture to the generals around him. When all the generals got to the top of the map, they could hear Chen Ren explain the tactics of the war in detail on the map. In this battle, Chen Ren is bound to win!
At the same time, in Nanjun City, Pang Ji's prefect's residence was still brightly lit. In the Council hall, several people in yellow robes were talking with each other darkly. Under the light of the candle, it was Pang Degong, a famous hermit in Jingzhou, who was sitting in the middle!
