Chapter 135 Countering the Rebellion III

Pang Tong had deduced the five new division commanders and chiefs of staff in Zhongshan Camp for more than ten days, but he didn't send troops, and Sun Quan ignored it. As for Cheng Pu, if Pang Tong didn't say that he would send troops, I would find a place to fish. I was so happy that I had fun. Anyway, the lord told you that everything would be yours, so Cheng Pu directly gave the commander of the troops to Pang Tong and became the boss himself.

After Huang Xu and Sun Yi came out of the Central Army tent, they muttered all the way. Huang Xu said, "A Yi, you said we have been receiving the order to send troops for so long, for ten days. This day, we have been deducing tactics with the deputy commander-in-chief here every day, and have worked dozens of sets of tactics. Why don't we move troops? The more we wait, the stronger the rebels will be."

Sun Yi said brainlessly: "Maybe it's just waiting for the rebels to become stronger."

Huang Xu slapped his forehead and jumped up and said, "A Yi, what did you think of it? I understand it. It is to make the rebels stronger."

When Sun Yi heard this, he became confused and said, "I don't understand, what do you mean?"

At this time, several other division commanders and chiefs of staff also surrounded him and asked, "What does it mean, tell me!"

Huang Xu felt a little as if the stars were supporting the moon, and said excitedly: "I guess our commander-in-chief wants to fatten the pig and then kill it, so that our contribution will be even greater. Everyone is right!"

When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense, so they started to discuss it slowly together.

Pang Tong kept watching the information coming from the Jinyiwei. After ten days, no aristocratic families in various places ran to Kuaiji to support him. It was time to take action, so he started beating the drums and gathering generals.

Pang Tong looked at the big guy and said, "Starting today, we will send troops. Huang Xu and Sun Yi, your two divisions are for vanguards. Be sure to take me the four counties of Qiantang, Fuchun, Yuhang and Yuqian occupied by the thieves before the large army. Your two divisions are now set off overnight. The rest of the team will set off the morning after tomorrow. You will go to attack the four counties in one day and a half, and then join the large army in Yuji County."

Let’s talk about Huang Xu and Sun Yi’s mission, they began to march urgently, discussing countermeasures while marching. Their soldiers all came from all over the place, and mountain combat was good, but they were not very good at siege. So Huang Xun suggested using the strategy of seducing the enemy. According to information, Lu Xun of these four counties sent several battalions to defend, and the large gangs were all in Kuaiji County, so Sun Yi boldly suggested a strong attack.

After carefully analyzing the comparison of enemy and us, Huang Xu also began to agree to a strong attack because their time was limited, and strong attack was the fastest way. So he divided the troops into two groups, Huang Xu went to the north to attack Yuhang and Qiantang counties, and Sun Yi went to the south to attack Yuqian and Fuchun counties. Then he agreed to meet up with Yuji.

When Sun Yi and Huang Xu attacked the four counties, they found that the troops of these four counties were simply vulnerable. Their soldiers were newly trained, but they had all been on the battlefield, so they took them very easily. One day later, the two led the army to join the foreign exchange in Yuji County. At this time, both of them were very confident and the morale of the team was also high. Sun Yi and Huang Xu suggested that before the large group of troops led by Pang Tong arrived, they would work together to capture Yuji County.

Because Yuji County was not their target of attack, I didn't know how many soldiers there were inside. However, the two men had two divisions, and they were very brave. They all knew that Pang Tong would come the next morning. If he wanted to attack Yuji County, there would be only one hour before dark. Huang Xu was not doing it, but was encouraged by Sun Yi. In addition, it was originally a great victory, and the chief of staff of the two divisions agreed, so he began to attack Yuji County. As a result, in unexpectedly, more than 300 soldiers were sacrificed within an hour, he took the county town and then the army entered the county town to rest.

After the army entered the city, it naturally would not disturb the people, but found that there were no people in the city, like an empty city. Huang Xu felt it was a bit strange, but Sun Yi said that Lu Xun should have led all the people to Kuaiji. In addition, it was dark again, so he did not go into the place to settle the people. Naturally, he did not enter the people's homes and settled them on the street.

In the middle of the night, a fire suddenly broke out in the city, and the entire county town was basically talking about the houses. The army was basically placed outside the people's houses. Sun Yi and Huang Xu were all accompanying the soldiers outside and did not go to the county government, so they immediately organized everyone to rush out of the city. As a result, Lu Xun had ambushed the archers not far from the city. When the two divisions rushed out, about a thousand people were lost. Now Huang Xu and Sun Yi lowered their heads and kept silent, losing a regiment of troops, and the county town was burned.

Sun Yi pulled Huang Xu and said, "We won't wait, just chase after me. I don't believe that I can't even bite Lu Xun's meat even after chasing Kuaiji County."

"Forget it, although we didn't sacrifice much in the middle of the night, the soldiers were not in good spirits. If anyone had ambush again, our division commander would probably endure it. Let's bear it first." After Huang Xu said that, he pulled Sun Yi to appease the soldiers.

Sun Quan and Lu Su received a war report from the front line in Wujun, and Lu Su comforted Sun Quan and said, "The two young generals are still a little young and energetic. They are too aggressive and lack understanding of Bo Yan."

"Zijing, do you think they will grow a little after this defeat? Write me a letter to them, asking them to summarize the lessons of this failure, and then hand it over to Pang Tong and copy one to me. Well, every time I fight in the future, no matter how I win or lose, everyone should summarize the experience and lessons. Company, battalion, regiment, division, etc. must have summary meetings and meeting records. Zijing, do you think this will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our army."

"The lord is a good method. But I am also worried that many division commanders and chiefs of staff in the army are actually relatives or brothers. On the battlefield, they can easily reach an agreement with each other and may not necessarily have the effect of reminding each other."

"This is nothing. Even if it is not, people who are not familiar will become familiar gradually. They will be transferred within a year or two in the future."

The next morning, Pang Tong came to Yuji County. Pang Tong felt uncomfortable when he saw the burned county town. In the end, the people of Jiangdong came to clean up the mess. Pang Tong originally suspected that Lu Xun's rebellion was just a secret move by Sun Quan to eliminate hidden dangers. Now he no longer had this doubt and had made up his mind to destroy Lu Xun.

Pang Tong called Sun Yi and Huang Xu over, and both of them were embarrassed to lower their heads. Although Pang Tong was not much older than them, he was their boss after all. He didn't care so much before, so he couldn't disrespect him now. Pang Tong asked sternly: "Who told you to remember the merits of Yuji County without authorization? Don't you know Lu Xun? He is the lord and the people he values. You dare to advance so recklessly. They all put me in custody!"
