In Hu County, Liu Qi, Xu Shu, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Jin and others gathered together.
They gathered in front of the sand table, and at this moment, the sand table was in the center, and flags were already planted.
Huaishui is the boundary, there are two places on the river surface with thatched pontoon bridges, and along the north of the river on a line of Yicheng, Ping'a, Xia Cai three cities, are specially standardized.
"Lord, most of Xiahou Yuan's troops are foot soldiers, just to defend the city, but under the command of Li Dian, among the five thousand horse infantry army, there are three thousand elite horsemen."
Xu Shu stared at the distance between the three cities, and pointed to Ping'a in the center, "Now Li Dian doesn't dare to lead the army to aid this city, but Xiahou Yuan, a master of art, is bold, and has the courage to garrison the army in Yicheng, wanting to hold the throat of our army." ” "If our army needs to go north, it is necessary to conquer this city to ensure that the grain route is worry-free."
Liu Qi stroked his beard with one hand and stretched out his hand to point at Ping'a, "I want to order Zhou Tai and Quan Rou to attack Ping'a." ” "The lord has previously sent Zhou Tai to take the dragon Kang above the water, and then attack Xiaqiu with Lu Meng's department, there is still General Zhenrong in Guyang, and there is General Peng Shi in Hongxian to guard it, but there are only more than 1,000 people in General Liu's department and 2,000 soldiers and horses in the tiger camp guarded by the lord's personal guard, if Pei County Shi Lian is coming, how should it be good" The army has become a siege, within a few days, Xu Shu will definitely come to the battlefield in person, but, according to their previous plan, Liu Qi can not go to the battlefield.
"I want to board the ship and go north, to Xiapi."
Liu Qi said with a smile.
"The lord is going north with General Qu A" "Exactly."
Xu Shu was about to open his mouth to persuade, but saw Liu Qi looking at Zhuge Jun and Zhuge Jin.
"Ziyu and Gongrang, you are responsible for cooperating with Zibu to send the people of Huaibei counties through Huaishui and resettle them in Jiujiang counties."
"Whoa."
"Ziyu, in the past few days, the people of the four counties of Peiguo, the three counties of Jiujiang, and the four counties of Xiapi can count their household registration."
"There are nearly 2,000 households in the four counties of Peiguo, about 8,000 households in the four counties of Xiapi, and 5,500 households in the three counties of Jiujiang, with a total of more than 50,000 people."
Liu Qi frowned slightly, "The ten counties in the north are not as populous as Shouchun and Hefei."
"Shouchun is the Jiujiang Governor's Office, Yuan Shu built the palace in this city, and moved most of the people to Shouchun with their families, there are 400,000 people in Jiujiang County, and there are 150,000 people in Shouchun and Hefei cities."
Liu Qi bowed slightly, "If there is the convenience of the three cities of Huaibei, how long will it take for the people of Huaibei to move to Huainan?"
"If there is a chariot or a wooden ox or a horse, it will be within five days."
"Fifty thousand, still too little."
Liu Qi touched his chin with one hand, "Yuan Zhi, after I go north, you can lead the army to wantonly attack the land of Peiguo, Runan, and Xiazhi, take all the cities, collect money and grain, and move the people into my Huainan, and I will give you the right to facilitate." ” "Whoa."
Xu Shu gave up his hand, and then looked at a person running outside the hall, "Report to the lord, General Bohou has led the army to the Hongxian ferry." ” "Good."
Liu Qi was immediately overjoyed, he glanced back at Liu Xun, "Zitai immediately went to the ferry with my guards to board the ship, and we led a few warships to the north along Surabaya. ” Liu Qi picked up the horsewhip and went out, and saw the three ministers behind him bowing down to see each other, "We congratulate the lord." ” "Excuse me, I will go to Xiapi to delay Cao Cao's army and buy time for you and others."
Liu Qi laughed and went out, turned over and got on his horse at the gate of the county government, the war horse he rode was a flower-maned horse after conquering Shouchun, according to the Fuzhong Manu, it was after the good horse that Sun Wentai rode in the past.
When they came to the ferry port, Deng Dang had already led the fleet to continue up the river, and only five vehicles and ships and more than 20 escorted warships were waiting here.
The car and ship in the middle of the sea, compared with the warship built on the Yangtze River in Jiangdong, but it is much more, a car and ship in the center are 30 zhang long, 8 zhang wide, 5 zhang high, there are two floors of pavilions, the ship can carry thousands of soldiers, and there are also bed crossbows, catapults, water cannons and other water warfare equipment.
"Xue Li to see the lord."
Xue Li has been transferred to the water division from Qu Aling, and now the Jiangdong Water Division is divided into three departments, Huiji Dongye, Yuzhang Poyang, Lujiang Chaohu, the three commanders have reached the rank of Zhonglang general, he Xue Li naturally does not want to live behind, after Liu Qi agreed, he sent him to Fangshan Academy to learn the ability of water warfare, and joined the army as a general of Hengjiang.
"This time the sailor went north, not with Hugh Mu as the commander, how many soldiers and horses" Liu Qi boarded the ship under the escort of Xue Li, the military general in front of him was the first person he saw in this world, and when he met again, he also seemed a little cordial.
"Horses are difficult to survive on the bumpy sea, this time to the north, there are 12,000 generals, only 800 soldiers and horses in my department, 5,000 soldiers and horses led by General Deng Dang, and the rest are under the account of General Qu'a."
"The sea boat went north along the coast, and it was actually two months long, and you waited for the first time on the sea, but you could have a feeling" Liu Qi watched the soldiers and generals board the ship one after another, standing on the bow of the ship, looking at the sergeants and people along the coast, his eyes were full of emotion.
"Jiangdong Erlang knows a lot about water, even if he walks on the sea for a year and a half, he can be comfortable, but he is on the coast of the sea, and there are many reefs, if it weren't for the fact that the county scholars and clerks of the county schools went to sea with the fishing boats in advance, investigated the coast, and marked the channel with the battle flag, our army would not be so smooth."
"In addition, the lord ordered people to construct flower beds on the ship, and planted melons and fruits with soil on land, which also made the ship a little more interesting."
Liu Qi smiled slightly, "This is what Ben Hou found in Mr.
Zhongjing's collection of medical books, if you don't have such fresh melons and fruits for you to eat, I'm afraid you will already have a terminal illness." ” Xue Li said again and again that when he boarded the ship, he also paid attention to Liu Qi's side, Zhou Tai and Dong Xi were not there, only a group of Liu's personal soldiers, and a general, he can now be said to be Liu Qi's cronies.
When the soldiers and generals arrived inside the ship one after another, Xue Li glanced back at the carriage coming in the distance, "The lord went north this time, and there were also letters sent by several ladies in the mansion, but they were brought by a maid. ” "Maid" Liu Qi was slightly stunned, his face was full of astonishment, "The letter from the family in the house, just order the guards to send it, how can the weak maid cross the river far away, bumpy all the way, and with the reckless and strong men like you, wouldn't you be aggrieved." ” Xue Li immediately handed it over, "The maid in the lord's mansion naturally went north by carriage, but it was General Xu Wenxiang, who was originally stationed in Jiangcheng, who escorted her north. ” Liu Qi was slightly surprised, "Wenxiang has reached the south bank" "I haven't reported it today, but I got an order from the military division, and I don't know where to go."
Liu Qi frowned slightly, "How can you leave a female dependent in the army, and order her to return to Huainan and wait, and hand over the family letter." ” "Whoa."
Xue Li was a little disappointed in his heart, he wanted to please Liu Qi with this, but he didn't want to, but he made Liu Qi unhappy.
Preparing to start the boat, the sheng flag was blowing and drumming in the strong wind, Liu Qi pulled up the cloak on his body, felt the strong wind, turned around and walked to the cabin, walked a few steps, he suddenly stopped, "By the way, what is the name of the maid?"
Xue Li's expression moved slightly, and there was a little more joy in his eyes, and he looked at Liu Qi's back, "But she is the eldest daughter of the Qiao family in Anhui County." ” Liu Qi raised his feet again and walked to the cabin, his own sergeant stepped forward to open the cabin door for him, and when he was about to walk in, facing Xue Li's somewhat disappointed expression, Liu Qi suddenly looked back, "Then let him board the boat alone, I still need a maid to take care of it." ” "Whoa."
Xue Li was overjoyed and watched Liu Qi walk into the cabin.
The maid has an excellent appearance, and she is also from the scholarly family, once he gets Liu Qi's favor in the future, he will definitely not forget his recommendation
