Chapter 240 Su Ming’s Night Attack on the Black Stone Department
Gan Ning and Sun Shangxiang both looked gloomy and very nervous.
Xu Shu was the only one who didn't panic at all. Not only did he not panic, he actually smiled.
It was as if the news he heard was not that Sun Quan was going to send troops to attack Jiangxia, but that it was some kind of fun.
"Commander, why are you laughing?"
"Hurry up and come up with an idea!" Gan Ning urged.
Now that Su Ming is gone, Xu Shu is the backbone of the entire Jiangxia.
At this time, Gan Ning could only ask Xu Shu for advice.
"Xingba, why are you so anxious?"
"Sun Quan from Jiangdong has nothing to worry about. As long as I use some small tricks, I can make Sun Quan have no time to worry about himself!"
"By then, he will have too much to take care of himself, so he won't have time to trouble us!" Xu Shu said confidently.
With a little trick, Sun Quan from Jiangdong could take care of himself.
If others had said this, Gan Ning might not believe it, but when Xu Shu said this, Gan Ning believed it.
Their military advisor is quite capable. Since arriving in Jiangxia, he has managed Jiangxia in an orderly manner.
In Gan Ning's view, their military advisor was expert in everything from military affairs to politics to people's livelihood.
Since the military advisor said that with a little plan, Sun Quan of Jiangdong could be distracted, he would definitely not lie.
"Commander, we are all anxious!"
"Stop being so pretentious. If you have any ideas, please tell me quickly." Sun Shangxiang also said anxiously beside him.
Gan Ning was anxious, but Xu Shu could still show off and tease Gan Ning.
After all, the two of them are considered equals.
However, Sun Shangxiang is different. Sun Shangxiang is Su Ming's future wife.
Faced with Sun Shangxiang's inquiry, Xu Shu stopped trying to keep things secret.
"Miss Shangxiang, this plan is in the letter you brought!" Xu Shu picked up the letter and said.
Gan Ning: "????"
Sun Shangxiang: "????"
Gan Ning and Sun Shangxiang were still confused. They both read the letter.
Da Qiao only explained some current news in Jiangdong in the letter, but he didn't mention any strategies in the letter?
"Military advisor, can you just say it clearly?" Gan Ning urged.
Gan Ning thought to himself, these scholars just like to make people guess. Since you have a way, why don't you just say no?
"Shan Koshi!"
"This strategy lies with the Shanyue people." Xu Shu took the letter and said to the two of them: "Didn't the letter say that Sun Quan used the pretext of attacking Shanyue to fool the old lady?"
"Since he made an excuse to fight Sanyue, let's really let him fight Sanyue, right?"
"We will prepare some gold, silver, jewelry, and silk and cloth, and send a eloquent person to deliver these things to Shanyue."
"Let these Shanyue people attack the city behind Jiangdong. When the time comes, Jiangdong's rear will be restless. How can they have time to attack us in Jiangxia!"
"When they have eradicated Shanyue and want to turn around and attack us, I'm afraid my lord will have already returned."
Shanyue and Jiangdong are filled with hatred like a sea!
Why do you say that?
Because Shanyue said that they were natives of Jiangdong, this area of Jiangdong originally belonged to the Shanyue people.
However, the natives in Shanyue could not defeat the Han people and were beaten into the valleys of the mountains.
Resources are scarce in the mountains, so they will often raid some cities in Jiangdong.
Normally, the Shanyue people would harass Jiangdong even if no one gave them any benefits.
What's more, Xu Shu is giving them a benefit and letting them harass Jiangdong.
There is no doubt that Xu Shu's strategy will work wonders.
At the same time, the army led by Su Ming that made a surprise attack on the Wuhuan base camp had bypassed Bailang Mountain and arrived behind the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Xianbei tribes.
At this time, the armies of the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Xianbei tribes had already arrived at Liucheng. Even if they tried hard, they could not imagine that a troop of troops had already circled behind them.
Su Ming and the others took advantage of the darkness to set out to cross Bailang Mountain. At this time, it was late at night again.
They had been on the run for two nights and one day, and unless they took a few breaks along the way, they were always on the move.
At this moment, they had very little rations left with them when they set out, and the horses were already panting from exhaustion.
"Sir, we don't have much food left!"
"The horses can't stand it either!" Zhang Liao came to Su Ming to report.
Su Ming nodded, called the guide Zhang Xiu to him, and asked, "Where are we now?"
Zhang Xiu took out the military map from his arms, pointed to a mark on it and said, "Sir, we are still thirty miles away from the Black Stone Division."
This time, Su Ming and the others were going to fight thousands of miles away and sneak attack the Wuhuan people's base camp.
Therefore, they were fully prepared before coming.
They planned three marching routes alone.
The march route they are taking now is the best choice.
If something unexpected happens on this marching route, you can switch to other marching routes at any time.
The first supply point on this march route is the Black Rock Division.
The Black Stone Tribe is a Wuhuan tribe. Su Ming and his team's horses have run out of gear and their military rations have been exhausted.
The replenishment of army rations and the replacement of horses all depended on the Black Stone Department.
"The whole army stopped and rested on the spot for an hour."
"Separate half of the dry food, mash it up and sprinkle it on the grass, and let the horses eat it mixed with the grass."
"After half an hour, surround the Black Stone Department and leave no one alive!" Su Ming gave the order.
Going around Bailang Mountain in two nights and one day was very tiring for these soldiers.
The soldiers were very tired, and so were their horses.
There will be a battle later. People need to replenish their physical strength, and horses also need to replenish their physical strength.
Therefore, some of the little food left was given to the horses.
The soldiers broke half of the bread into pieces and gave it to the horses, while they ate the remaining half with water.
However, for the soldiers who had been marching for such a long time, half a piece of bread was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket and could not satisfy their hunger.
Many soldiers were still sucking their fingers or swallowing saliva after finishing the noodles.
Su Ming looked at these hungry soldiers. It was obvious that these soldiers were in poor condition.
"How can we improve the condition of these soldiers?" Su Ming thought deeply.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, let them eat enough.
If you eat and drink enough, you will naturally have the strength to face the next battle.
However, he has no food in his hand now!
There is no way to create something like food out of thin air.
Killing horses to satisfy hunger?
This is a good idea, but now it’s too late!
Moreover, it is night, and you have to make a fire to kill some horses to satisfy your hunger, whether you want to cook broth or roast them.
Above this grassland, one horse Pingchuan, fire at night, can be seen at dozens of miles away.
At that time, it will inevitably alarm the Blackstone Tribe of 30 miles away.
In order to eat a full meal, it is not worth it!
