As the days passed, Liu Wei was also leisurely.
As long as Meng Tian can calm down, Liu Wei is definitely more patient than him.
The Guishan Army is on an expedition, and it is difficult to supply grain and grass, and every additional day of delay will increase the difficulty of logistics supply, not to mention that Liu Wei is not completely without action.
For Meng Tian, the reason why he did not move troops for a long time was because he had his own plan.
Li Si had already arrived at Xupu, the seat of Jiuzhen County, two months ago, where he mobilized grain and grass and quietly built warships for Meng Tian to realize Meng Tian's strategic plan of crossing the Danzhou Strait, sneaking into Nanhai County, and attacking the Han army from east to west.
Meng Tian was carrying out his conspiracy, and Liu Wei was also planning his own tricks, so the two armies had a tacit confrontation for more than two months, except for occasional small-scale battles, they got along well.
However, the Kushan scouts found suspicious ships along the coast of Junan County not long ago, and Meng Tian was shocked, and hurriedly dispatched his general Kadawei to lead 13,000 cavalry to the south urgently, and trekked more than 2,000 miles to Rinan County to patrol, where they were stationed for more than a month, and did not find anything abnormal, so he judged that the suspicious ships found by his scouts were pirate ships.
As a result, Kadawi left 3,000 cavalry to garrison the coast of Ninan County, and he led 10,000 main cavalry to return to the north and retreated to the main battlefield in the central part of Jiaozhou.
Meng Tian had to report to the police before he dispelled his doubts and continued to carry out his plan to smuggle across the Danzhou Strait.
In order to avoid suspicion of the Han army, Meng Tian did not stand still all the time, but launched some small-scale battles every now and then to confuse the Han army, so as not to be perceived by Liu Wei's think tank into his plan to attack Nanhai County.
In fact, the suspicious ship found by the Guishan scouts was not a pirate ship, it was indeed a ship of the Han army, it was a scout ship sent by Qi Jiguang to spy on the terrain of Rinan County.
Qi Jiguang decisively ordered the whole army to retreat to Zhuya Island, that is, Hainan Island before Liu Wei crossed, stationed troops and horses here, and waited for the Kushan cavalry to withdraw before implementing the military plan.
In March of this spring, Qi Jiguang was ordered by Liu Wei to quietly leave Jinling and enter the East China Sea along the Yangtze River with Zhou Tai and Yu Dayou, with more than 500 warships, large and small, transporting 5,000 war horses, 150,000 stone grain, and a number of armor and crossbow arrows.
Qi Jiguang took the large navigation chart copied by Liu Wei, intending to cross the Yizhou Strait, bypass Zhuyazhou, sneak attack Rinan County, and cut off the grain and grass supply route of the Guishan Army.
The vast sea is endless, and there is a lack of modern navigation equipment, Qi Jiguang completely relied on his own experience to control this sailor, from the East China Sea all the way south, using some islands and reefs, several times to avoid dangerous storms, all the way to the south unharmed.
After sailing at sea for a month and a half, he arrived at a large vast territory, and after landing and inquiring, he learned that this was not the territory that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty, let alone the target of Qi Jiguang's attack, Rinan County, Jiaozhou, but an island that the Han people had never set foot on.
Because there was a huge copycat version of Zheng He's treasure ship pressing the formation, the sailors led by Qi Jiguang arrived on this island unharmed, and after asking the local natives, they learned that this island is called "Luzon Island".
In normal history, it was not until 226 A.D. that two middle-level officials of the state of Wu, Zhu Ying and Kang Tai, sailed in the South China Sea to patrol the islands, and discovered this large island.
And now, Qi Jiguang led his troops to attack Rinan County, and he walked to Luzon Island by mistake, nearly 30 years earlier than in history, and it can be regarded as an unintentional willow.
In the official history, the national strength of Wu was limited, coupled with the war with Wei and Shu for many years, Zhu Ying and Kang Tai only brought more than ten ships and more than 1,000 followers to patrol the South China Sea Islands, and after landing on Luzon Island, they found that there were more than 100,000 residents on the island, so they could only retreat obediently, and lost the opportunity to incorporate Luzon Island into the Chinese territory.
But this time it was different, the 40,000 sailors led by Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Zhou Tai were fully armed, and there were nearly 10,000 boatmen and auxiliary soldiers as auxiliaries.
At this moment, there was no formal state on the island of Luzon, and the inhabitants lived in tribes, with thousands of people in the large tribes and hundreds in the small tribes, either talking to each other or attacking each other, lacking culture, backward industry, scarce crops, and living a life equivalent to that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in China.
"Haha, this is a heaven-sent Han territory, and if it comes, it will be safe" Qi Jiguang waved his sword, and 40,000 sailors landed.
Leaving 10,000 people to guard the ships in the northern part of Luzon Island, Qi Jiguang, Zhou Tai, and Yu Dayou each led 10,000 troops, marched in three ways, and spent a month and a half to fight from the north of Luzon to the south.
On the one hand, Qi Jiguang selected civilian officials from the army who were proficient in the rule of officials to govern the place, and on the other hand, he sent people to Nanhai County by boat to report to the Son of Heaven and discover the news of the New World.
Liu Wei was overjoyed after seeing it: "Haha, isn't this Luzon Island the Philippines, I can't imagine that Qi Jiguang actually occupied the Philippines by mistake, such a backward island country is simply sweeping thousands of armies and sweeping Qi Jiguang's great achievements, and it will definitely go down in history and be admired by future generations."
Liu Wei immediately passed on the decree and crowned Qi Jiguang as the general of Dingnan and gave him the title of Jinghaihou, so that Qi Jiguang officially stepped into the ranks of senior generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and temporarily tied a grade with Wu Qi and Huo Quai.
Subsequently, Liu Wei decided to set up "Songzhou" on Luzon Island, crowned Zhang Zhao as the assassin of Songzhou, ordered Huan Fan to serve as the governor of Songzhou, and Zhu Zhi as Bingcao, and immediately led 3,000 people to leave Cangwu and rush to the South China Sea, and took a ship to Songzhou to take up his post and govern the place.
After Zhang Zhao got the order, he transported a large number of grain seeds, thousands of ploughing cattle, as well as ploughshares, various farm tools, and iron tools, recruited more than 1,000 craftsmen at high prices along the way, sailed into the sea from Panyu Guangzhou, the Nanhai County Governor's Office, and arrived on Luzon Island in half a month, and went to Songzhou to assassinate the history.
In 197 AD, in July of the first year of Jian'an, Luzon Island was officially included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Since then, the Philippines, before Liu Wei's crossing, has become a territory under the jurisdiction of China.
Standing at the head of Cangwu City, looking south, the sea breeze is coming, Liu Wei is full of pride: "I have finally opened up the territory and included the territory that my predecessors have never set foot on into the territory of China."
This was a month and a half ago, when fierce battles were raging in the north, and the four major forces of Han, Tang, Yuan, and Wei were inextricably linked in Youzhou, while the Han army led by Qi Jiguang had already expanded its territory in the south.
After Zhang Zhao and his entourage arrived in Songzhou, they met with Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang left 5,000 men and horses for Zhu Zhi to dispatch to assist Zhang Zhao and Huan Fan in administering the place, so as not to cause chaos among the tribesmen on the island.
Song Zhou settled down, Qi Jiguang bid farewell to Zhang Zhao and others, and Zhou Tai and Yu Dayou led their troops into the sea again, rushed to Zhuya Island, and sent scout ships to spy on the terrain of Rinan County in advance, and at this time the Guishan army scouts discovered their whereabouts.
The scouts of the Kushan army discovered the sentry ship of the Han army, but the cavalry led by Kadawi urgently went south and was also detected by Qi Jiguang's scouts.
So Qi Jiguang decisively ordered the whole army to sail to Zhuya Island, where to recuperate for a period of time, and wait for all the vigilance of the Guishan army to retreat before attacking Ninan County.
This time, the army crossed the sea, not to fight head-on with the Kushan army, but to copy the grain and grass roads of the Kushan army, as long as the supply route of grain and grass to Guishan was cut off, more than 400,000 Kushan troops would be lambs to be slaughtered.
After Qi Jiguang led the sailors to Zhuya Island, he set up a temporary military base in the southern part of the island, and summoned local officials, and learned that there were two counties on the island, Zhuya and Dan'er, and that the Taishou were appointed by Wang Shouren, the assassin of Jiaozhou, and there were about 30,000 people on the island.
So Qi Jiguang secretly stationed on Zhuya Island, waiting for an opportunity to attack Rinan County.
The days are fast, the sun rises and sets, and another month and a half have passed in the snap of a finger, and the north is already a cold and snowy wax moon.
Meng Tian is still busy with his own tricks, and Liu Wei is also planning his own conspiracy, continuing to let "Boss Chen" deliver letters to Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, just like the magpie on the Magpie Bridge, building a pontoon bridge between Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu.
Under the careful treatment of the doctor and the careful care of Pei Xingyan, Zhou Yu's spirit has improved greatly.
"It's just that General Pei looked at me a little wrong."

During these days, Zhou Yu felt Pei Xingyan's meticulous care, like a friend, like a brother, but it seemed to be closer than these, which made Zhou Yu a little at a loss, "What is General Pei thinking in his heart?"
Before Pei Xingyan, there was only one man in the world who was so good to himself, and that was the little overlord Sun Bofu.
But Zhou Yu knows that the relationship between himself and Sun Ce is brotherly love, it is the righteousness of brotherhood, although there is no blood alliance, although there is no kowtow, but the relationship between himself and Sun Ce is higher than the sky, thicker than the earth, and closer than brothers "But General Pei feels like a brother, not like a brother" This made Zhou Yu a little helpless, "Could it be that General Pei is good at Longyang" So, Zhou Yu began to avoid Pei Xingyan, and quietly suggested to Meng Tian that the defense of Ninan County should not be lax, and Pei Xingyan should be sent to patrol again, so as not to cause accidents.
Meng Tian happily obeyed and sent Pei Xingyan to lead 8,000 light cavalry to patrol south along the coast, and then return to the Huai'an front line after confirming that there was no abnormality.
"Gong Jin, I'll be back soon" Pei Xingyan turned over his horse and reluctantly led his troops south.
Looking at Pei Xingyan's back, Zhou Yu sighed melancholy: "Alas, what kind of sin is this?"
Although Meng Tian still valued Zhou Yu, he lost more than 30,000 Sun Jun, Zhou Dong, Zhou Dewei, Wu Yunzhao and others, Zhou Yu felt like a rootless Ping, a sourceless water, fluttering, without any sense of belonging.
Although the Kushan army has 400,000 people, there are a few people who are his henchmen "Governor Qiao Guniang's Letter" Just when Zhou Yu was melancholy, Boss Chen's voice sounded behind him. t1706231537:
