Chapter 639 Movement of the enemy and me

If more than ten thousand soldiers are boundless; if more than ten thousand soldiers are boundless, they will be connected to the sky.

The two officials and troops from Huainan, Shandong and Huainan were combined to nearly 50,000. When the team was moving forward, the situation was really scary. If someone stood in front of the team and looked back, they would be full of troops, and they could not see the end.

The official and soldiers are naturally quite powerful, but at the same time it makes the team's progress much more troublesome. If there were only people from Shandong, there would be no problem with Sun Tu's years of training. However, in addition, the Huainan Army, whose military discipline is not strict and whose physical fitness is generally inferior, the situation of the entire team seems a bit chaotic. Often, tacit understanding cannot be formed between the front and back teams, or the distance between them is too large, or the rear team will collide with the front team, and the marching speed will be completely slowed down.

This not only made the Shandong army feel uncomfortable, but the Huainan army also felt inferior and confused because of the comparison. After all, there were strong elite troops on one side, and some people were flirting with faces and steps were simplistic. The gap between the two official troops was too big, which easily made many Huainan generals feel jealous.

But with Peng Yongzhen's insistence, the two government troops cooperated and walked slowly along the way. So after most of the day, the team had less than 30 miles. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, it was almost impossible to rush.

It is only more than 200 miles from Jinling to Changzhou. If you ride a fast horse lightly, you can arrive in one or two days. But if you walk slowly with tens of thousands of troops like now, you may not arrive in less than seven or eight days. After understanding this, Peng Yongzhen felt a little uneasy. If he delayed the time and arrived in Changzhou, their sins would be great.

So when the army stopped in front, he thought of discussing with Sun Tu to send an elite force to travel first and arrive in Changzhou one step earlier. But just as he left the camp gate, he had not yet walked towards the Shandong military camp, and saw that there were several people strode there, and the first person was Sun Tu.

"Qin Qian, I happened to ask you for something, come in and talk to you quickly." Peng Yongzhen was overjoyed when he saw this and hurriedly let Sun Tu into the camp, invited him into his big tent, and then he directly told all his concerns and thoughts.

"I came here because of this. It is not a solution to drag on the road like this. We have to divide the troops first and hurry up. I just don't know which side of us should send troops in the opinion of Mr. Peng?" Sun Tu asked with a smile.

"All Shandong soldiers are brave and good at fighting. I believe that even if they only go thousands, they will be able to reverse the war ahead, so please ask the Chief Sun to send elite troops there." Peng Yongzhen was real and immediately suggested.

"Since this is the case, I will naturally take the initiative. In this way, I will lead the 5,000 elite troops under my command to travel overnight to Changzhou as soon as possible. As for other troops, I will move forward with the Huainan Army. I just hope that in the future, the Chief Peng will let your troops under your command be more energetic and rush forward, so don't delay like today."

Peng Yongzhen's old face turned red, but he was irrefutable. He could only agree vaguely, and then he said with concern: "Is Chief Sun actually planning to lead the elite to take risks?"

"It's important, I dare not be careless." Sun Tu replied meaningfully, then stood up and said, "The military situation is like fire, so I won't delay it. After using the meal later, I will lead the army first, and the next battle will be taken care of by Chief Peng."

At this time, there were actually several pairs of eyes observing the movements of the official army in the forest ahead, and the few people were still a little doubtful: "This official army dares to rush on the road at night, and the speed is so fast."

"I've inquired. Among the reinforcements sent by Jinling this time, all the way was the troops of Sun Tu from Shandong. The official army is now famous, so it must be them."

"Can the Shandong Army? They can pacify Liangshanpo in just one or two months. The combat power is indeed good. The brothers in Changzhou may really be in trouble. We have to go back quickly and repay the news."

"What about here? There are still tens of thousands of official troops here..."

"It's enough to leave two or three people here to follow. Today they marched, so we can handle it." The leader quickly made a decision, and then led the two of them to walk starry night and gallop to the south - yes, they also hid horses in the forest so that they could maintain sufficient mobility.

With the familiarity of the roads in Jiangnan, this voyage took shortcuts and trails. Although they started late, their speed was much faster than Sun Tu's troops. After all, they were all fast horses, and most of them could only rely on their feet to travel, so naturally they could not compare. So when it was dawn, they had already crossed to the front of the Shandong Army and sent this key information to the detailed work point in a small town, and the people here passed the fast horses to the next site.

Neither Sun Tu nor Zhu Jie nor other generals would have thought that Fang La's anti-army had now extended its tentacles, and placed more than a dozen detailed production points near Jinling and other places, constantly transmitting the information ahead to the south. This is why they have been stagnant since they took Suzhou two months ago. In order to achieve the final victory, this anti-army is much more stable and smarter than they imagined.

It took only two days to pass the message back and forth. This information had been transmitted to Suzhou and was sent to a general with a gentle and tall appearance. After listening to the report and reading the relevant information, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is Sun Tu? This person is a famous general in the north. I don't know how capable he, a northern tiger, has when he is in the south of the Yangtze River? But at present, he is just like this, and he has no idea that he has fallen into the calculations of my Military Advisor Jiang."

"General Pang said that no matter how famous Ren Sun Tu is, he is just an outsider in my Jiangnan. In addition, our military advisor Jiang has always been a clever plan, how can he be undefeated?" The subordinate next to him smiled and agreed: "Then can we let General Fang take action next?"
