"Shou Li, capture two Chu State Tour Sentinels.""
Torture the nearby sentry.""
Yes!"
With the help of the south wind in summer and autumn, the boat group was like an unprecedented long dragon, slowly passing through Peng Lize.Just after Peng Lize, the reconnaissance boat in front of them first captured a few Chu troops along the river, and these unlucky people just came to the river to catch some fish, shrimp and game.There are many pheasants and ducks in the reeds, and the birds can't eat them, and there is no shortage of eggs.If there are still fish and turtles, it is even better.It's just that the people of Chu never thought that on the vast river and the water surface that is more than a hundred miles wide, there will be sails that cover the sky and the sun.At the end of the horizontal line, the masts are towering, the sails are neat, and the boats are like giant beasts, lined up in a neat line, going upstream!"
Report!
The water is redirected!
”The direction began to change, Li Xie looked at the sun, and judged that this had passed Peng Lize, and the landmarks along the coast could also be seen, some of which were very obvious, that is, they carved words on the rock wall, and then painted black or red paint."
Northwest direction, observe the coastal landmarks!""
Yes!""
Wave the flag and tell the captains of all ships to pay attention to the current!""
Yes!""
Today, go straight to Yingdu!""
Yes!"
On the watchtower of the mast, the sailors first reflected the sunlight with mirrors, and when the ships behind noticed it, they immediately responded.Then, the sailors on the watchtower began to wave the flag."
The flow of water" "The flow of water!"
”"Turn the sails" "Turn the sails!"
”On the deck of one ship after another, the sailors were busy quickly, and the oarsmen who had not been at their stations were ready to start work at any time.The struts prepared to prevent bottoming were also put on the side of the ship for the first time, and the propellers had to be prepared at any time just in case."
Captain, Landmark Three."
On the warship on which Shadong was located, the deputy constantly used binoculars to search for landmarks along the coast.After the direction was confirmed, Sha Dong immediately looked at the map, and the ruler made a slight estimate, and Sha Dong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "The next section of the river is much easier." ”"We are here, and Chu Nanyi is here."
Sha Dong nodded on the map, "After Nanyi, Yun Mengze is not far away." ”"The southern part of Yunmengze is along the river, the Chu Guozhou division is weak, and the mausoleum division is scarce, but it still can't be taken lightly.The Zhou clan has been based in Yunmengze for hundreds of years, and although it has been repeatedly bullied by the Hanshui countries, it always has some strength.It is necessary to defend the state and welcome the state of Chu!
”"Yes!""
Lower the fast sail!""
Yes!"
After a while, a small sailing boat with a narrow hull "bang" fell into the water, and after the two sailors got aboard, they first rowed some distance with their oars, and then quickly opened their sails.This is a silk and linen mixed sail, with horsehair and a few baleen added to it, and the toughness is enough.In just a few moments, the little sailboat was swimming against the current at a very alarming speed with the help of the wind.And the way this little sailboat walks is very strange, the two sailors on board, constantly adjusting the angle of the sails, and at the same time borrowing their own body weight to adjust the center of gravity of the boat, so that the sailboat can turn in the case of "high-speed" sailing.Although it is not the first time I have seen it, every time I see this scene, Sha Dong sighs with emotion, if everyone can do this, it would be great.It's a pity that it is extremely difficult to train sailors for this kind of high-speed sailing ship, and there are only less than twenty boats in the entire Jiangyin Yi, with a total of 47 qualified personnel, and it is still a little short to get together five squads.These high-speed sailing ships are mainly used to transmit important information, and there are also large ships to convey orders while traveling.The reconnaissance ship in front of it is generally the same size, but it has been slightly changed, the crew has increased a little, and the armament is more complicated."
Shou Li!
It's a fast sail. ”"Hmm."
After the sail was slightly retracted, and the high-speed sailboat approached, one of the sailors on board immediately picked up his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the big ship.There is also a small bamboo tube tied to the eagle feather arrow, which is stuffed with the news that is to be transmitted.Boom!
The eagle feather arrows without arrows still hit the deck building, and without the arrow, they can still shoot through the ordinary wooden planks on the deck building."
Shou Li.""
Hmm."
Pulled out the paper in the bamboo tube, and after reading it, Li Xie showed joy on his face: "According to the current progress, you should be able to pass Yunmengze today." ”"What kind of state is this, how many people are there in the whole country."
It's not that Li Xie is too arrogant, it's really that the national strength of the state is very weak, not to mention fighting with the Chu State, every year just to fight floods, he basically consumes all the country's resources.In the past two years, the state has been able to survive and has not been completely annexed by the state of Chu, purely because the trade between Wu and Chu is too developed, and a large number of raw materials have been exported to Jiangyinyi.Because the king's consumption of bronzes has decreased significantly, the bronzes used on the country have naturally increased.Moreover, the state cannot be directly exported to Jiangyinyi, there are no very good ships, don't look at Li Xie can organize a boat group to pass through Peng Lize.In the entire Jianghan region, only the Chu State still has the strength to take risks, but it is only an adventure, there is no good season, and passing Peng Lize is similar to stepping on a small sampan and going to the sea.Therefore, the import and export of the state is also borrowed from the land and inland rivers in the north, at most it is to go straight down to the vicinity of Nanyiyi, where the forces are more complicated, and there are many southern barbarian tribes, but Wu does have a caravan in the south, which can bypass Peng Lize, or slow circulation in the south of Peng Lize.The east and west cross the southern part of Peng Lize, and you can turn to the land route.Then you can carry out exchange trade in the coastal areas on the south bank of the Yangtze River, not only the state state, but also the civil forces of Chu, Luo, Qunshu, Qunchao, Yingshi, Jingman, Nanchao, Baipu and other large and small countries and regions are concentrated here, forming a starry trade belt.The scale is very small, and it may not be as good as a town in Wu State, but it is a good thing to have communication channels.Moreover, Li Xie is different from Wu Guo, Li Jie's Jiangyin Yi needs a division of labor, and the social division of labor that naturally occurs is different.Jiangyinyi is very instructive, saying that what you want is what you want, and it often forms a regional industry.Nowadays, Haiyang's ramie is also a specialty, because it is close to Leiyi, in order to get light, it is also called "Lei hemp".The same is true of the state, which mainly uses all kinds of leather in exchange for stoneware, pottery, low-cost silk, and linen clothing.Crocodile skins, rhinoceros skins, deer skins, leopard skins, and tiger skins, as long as they can be obtained by the state in this area, used to be deposited as tribute to the state of Chu, and now they are sold in the exchange trade.One-third of the ivory and rhinoceros horns hoarded in Jiangyin were killed and rounded up by the state on the south bank of the Yangtze River.In the past, to pay tribute to the state of Chu, it was all stuck to do it, and there was basically no motivation, but now it is different, from the exchange trade, the state has a lot of benefits.Paying tribute to the state of Chu is basically a blood loss, which is a net loss.But trading with Li Xie can make a little money, and for some middle and low-level aristocratic warriors, it is not a little money, but a lot of money.In the past 100 years, the people who have been able to go to Yingdu at their own expense may not be as many as in the last year.It's a small country, no matter how you toss, that's it.Li Xie can't even look down on Jiba's hometown of the Six Kingdoms, let alone the more stubborn states.However, for the sake of convenience, Li Xie still decided that after entering Yunmengze, he would go over by a boat and destroy the state, and after destroying the state, the captives of the state could also be used at that time.Before the follow-up of the ship group to follow up, the raids on Zhu Gong and Yingdu will require manpower in all aspects.Some dirty work, it is a bit inappropriate for them to do it, and it is much more convenient to throw it to the people of the state.When necessary, it can also be used to calm the anger of the people of Chu."
After ordering Shaxi to enter Yunmengze, there is no need to go west, but to go south against the current and destroy the state of Zhou.""
Yes!"
The order was quickly written, then stamped, and then the same arrow was fired, and after the arrow fell into the water, the bamboo tube rose and fell on the water.The sailors on the boat picked up a bamboo pole with a hook and scooped up the bamboo tube.Then the high-speed sailing ship was retracted, and the two sailors grabbed the oars and began to paddle as fast as they could, returning to the rear."
Destroy the state of the state?"
Sha Xi, who was on the same boat as Sha Dong, looked confused after reading the boss's order: "Then when will you learn from Yingdu?"
”"Wait for the order."
Sha Dong said, seeing that Sha Xi's eyes seemed to be reluctant, he said, "You are the only one who has dealt with the people of the state."
You travel back and forth between Tangyi and Jiuzi, and you are more familiar with similar terrain. ”"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that the state is too weak, the current state may not even have a thousand regular soldiers, the country's armament is slack, my department goes to raid, it's easy to fight, how to take over after that?""
Wait for orders."
Sha Dong's expression was serious, "Maybe Shou Li still needs to use Shangzhou people." ”After receiving the order, Shasi disembarked and boarded a small boat to his own warship.Unlike Shadong, Shasi is in charge of reconnaissance tasks most of the time, temporarily serving as an instructor for the security forces.Li Xie put him in charge of destroying the state for this reason.If it is a strong attack, it will choose fierce generals like Sha Hum and Sha Ha.Shaxi, who has been engaged in investigation tasks and local security tasks for a long time, can use his daily office methods to sort out the results of the war after destroying the state and the state.In this way, if Li Xie succeeds in the battle at Nagisa Palace, when manpower is needed, Shaxi can immediately organize state prisoners of war and transport them to the front line for consumption.In case the logistics ship regiment can't keep up, in case the large army of Chu State does not reach the three passes and Dabie Mountain, in case of a sudden heavy rainstorm that is rare in a hundred years, as long as this strange situation occurs, the front-line employment will be relatively tight, and there is a buffer in the middle, obviously it is necessary to be more confident.Especially the state and the state of Chu are not harmonious, as a country with the surname Yan, the state is on the verge of bankruptcy, and in the past year, it has eaten Li Jie's expansion dividend, which has continued its life.Otherwise, according to the normal rise and fall of the state, the state should be thoroughly digested by the state of Chu.In fact, it is also the case, around the state of Zhou, there is already a large amount of Chu State forces being deployed.Walled cities, military stations, mulberry fields, and savage settlements are encroaching on whales, constantly compressing the living space of the state, and the remaining core land of the entire state can no longer support many people, so they have to turn to the south bank of the Yangtze River to beg for a living.It can be said that it is a country that is half farming and half fishing, and it is also very dependent on weather changes for gathering activities.The entire state system is seriously degraded compared to a hundred years ago.The light and dark armies of Chu, the northern front with great fanfare and momentum, and the menacing deterrent power is not only to force the Chu State to build fortifications everywhere on the northwest line of Dabie Mountain, but also to all the mountain pass checkpoints, which are continuous camps and earthen walls.There are many lakes and streams in Chu, and the geographical advantages will naturally be taken advantage of, and the northern army of Huaishui Bofu, the vanguard has just passed Huangcheng, and the Chu State has closed all the bridges on the territory.Taking advantage of the hot weather in summer and autumn, a fire burned all the dense forests in the south of Dabie Mountain.The elite of Yingdu had seen Li Jie's civil work during the Battle of Qiyang, leaving too many trees for the Wu people, and the Wu people could build as many bridges as the Chu people demolished.Today, unlike in the past, the sappers under the command of Huaishui Bofu, their ability to build temporary buildings, the princes of the world do not know how many streets.It's not impossible to have a walled city overnight.No matter how independent they are, at this time, the local forces of Chu State gritted their teeth and fought for Chu State.There are surrender factions, and naturally there are martial arts factions that fight happily.Bai Judou, who was killed by the Empress Dowager of Chu State, still chose to share the fate with Chu at this moment.There is no other reason, it is purely the hatred between Bai Judou and Li Jie, and it is not less.As long as Li Jie's rampant attack is blocked, after the war, the meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and the Bai Judou clan will connect with the anti-Empress Dowager Zhao, and the chances will be greater.The forbearance at this time, the gritted teeth and persistence at this time, are all for more violent revenge in the future."
The barbarian chieftain's march is really fast, yesterday it was still in Huangcheng, and today it is close to the Great Tunnel Pass!"
The return of the scout shocked Dou Zun, the guard general of the Great Tunnel Pass, and he knew that in the entire Chu State, there were very few troops who could have such action and execution.Because of the civil strife in Yingdu, many veterans have been dispersed, and now the assembled Mausoleum Master is a mess of newcomers.Although there are veterans, they are all Queen Mother Zhao's licking dogs.There are also some veterans who have been frowning for a hundred years with the Dou family, and have always wanted to dismember the whole and restore the absolute authority of the King of Chu."
Duke Danyang, Liuba is a traveler of Huaishui Bofu, and he has passed Yuncheng.""

When did you get rid of the hair water?""
The day before yesterday."
Rubbing his temples and making a slight estimate, Dou Zun judged that at this moment, Ji Ba should have seen the important ministers of the Chu State who stayed along the Hanshui River, but he didn't know if he had seen the Queen Mother and the King."
That demon woman who fled south to Zhu Palace must carry the king and the princes of the court, but I am afraid that she will also follow south."
Douzun sighed, originally Ji Ba's visit was a good opportunity, take this opportunity to imprison the Empress Dowager Zhao, and then separate the king from the Empress Dowager Zhao, and things will be easy to do.It's just that this kind of coup d'état adventure can't be done now.At the moment of the great enemy, a coup d'état is tantamount to suicide.A strong enemy will not wait for your internal unity and concerted efforts before starting a war, Douzun has studied Li Jie's past records, including the records of those generals under Li Jie's command, as long as the flaws are exposed and they seize the fighters, then the war is over.Dou Zun judged that this may really be related to the Li Zi Art of War, because this requires extremely high quality of troops, so that he can crush the opponent with his super troop quality.So the more this is the case, the more Douzun has to stand on the front line and guard the big tunnel.Otherwise, for Li Jie's troops, there is no need to distinguish between you are Douzun and he is the king of Chu, and they are all Chu people, so it's over."
Duke Danyang, the Yin of the ring has not yet passed on the news, and it is not yet known whether the king has gone south.""
Huh."
Dou Zun smiled contemptuously, before his son asked him to cooperate with Xiang Bali and then kill the Empress Dowager Zhao, the idea is very good, but unfortunately he is not stupid.Qinwang succeeds, then it is naturally hello, I am good, everyone.It's a pity that Douzun can't trust the "Xiang Villager", and Douzun not only doesn't believe Xiang Ba, but even his old friends can't believe it.Even now, except for the four thousand Dou clan's disciples, he doesn't believe anyone.At this critical juncture, he will never let go of the command of the Grand Tunnel, even if he is attacked and plotted against him, he will also sit in the Great Tunnel Pass and will not go elsewhere."
Now the division of the ring column, can you know that there is geometry?"
Suddenly, Douzun asked about the situation of the garrison in Yingdu, Xiang Ba is an old waste, but the army is the army, after all, it is a war machine, and it can kill.In Douzun's opinion, at this moment, Li Jie's army is pressing, and the quality of the Chu troops is not as good as the other party, so they can only fight for quantity and consume the Wu people here.The entire rear now seems to be quite safe, and the number of garrison troops naturally does not need too much."
A total of one army.""
Well, it seems that Xiang Ba is also loyal."
The garrison force is 2,500 people, and it is usually not in the same number, and only in an emergency will it operate at full strength.In the daily state, it is generally one-tenth of the compilation, and if the investigation is a little stricter, it may be half, that is, more than 1,000 people.The composition of the garrison force in the entire Yingdu is very complex, in addition to the "division of the ring column", there are also troops guarding the city gates, city walls, palace gates, and palace walls, this army is the internal guard, the quality is far more than the garrison troops, and the equipment is also the most luxurious.The supreme commander of this army is the "Men Yin", and the people who can act as the Men Yin are all henchmen of the royal family, and they must have rich combat experience.Dou Zun was Lang Zhong when he was young, and he also worked as a deputy for Men Yin, and because of this, he thought that Xiang Ba was loyal to the front line of supporting the national war.In wartime, it is obvious that the "division of the ring column" will have to reduce its personnel and strength, so that the "guards" can play a greater role and undertake more tasks, and the "division of the ring column" will be able to reduce food and clothing, so that more resources can be deployed to the front line.Douzun believes that Xiang Ba is loyal, and this is what he does."
If the division of the ring is almost slackened, if there is a change, I am afraid that it will be difficult to parry.Duke Danyang, do you want to inform Yingdu and expand another army?
”"No, at this time, the old man is inconvenient to admonish.Xiang Ba is not familiar with the military, and there is no difference between more than 1,000 people and less than 1,000 people.Moreover, if a general is involved in China, it will be criticized. ”More is better than less, not to mention that Yingdu is very safe now, and there is no other good result except for making people wonder if there is something going on up and down the tunnel.Douzun honestly guarded the Great Tunnel Pass, and honestly withstood Li Jie's attack, in the eyes of the ministers of Yingdu, this is the best.In fact, the situation of the Chu army is very unstable now, even if there is no old army leader like Douzun moving around, but because of the hot weather and the clouds of war, the Chu army has seen camp roars and even mutinies in many places in recent nights.There were no losses among senior officers, but there were many losses among middle- and lower-ranking officers and veteran soldiers.It's just that Yingdu suppressed the news, so that the outside world did not know that there had actually been a camp roar and mutiny.If the news really spreads and causes a chain reaction, no one can afford to do so.Douzun nests in place and does not cause chaos, it is indeed the best.It's just that even if Douzun is not chaotic, outside the Great Tunnel Pass, the Wu troops with a strict formation have finally arrived.The soldiers under the command of Douzun couldn't find a chance to attack and harass, and the troops under the command of Li Xie were as difficult to gnaw as a turtle as always.The engineer troops quickly built the camp, even though Douzun had already made people clear the field near the Dabie Mountain, and even set fire to the mountain in the south, but the Wu people still quickly dug the trench.A large number of woven bags were loaded with soil and stones, and a defensive wall was built on the spot, and the alternate woven bags were like building blocks, constantly extending out.Moreover, there is a trench ahead, and even if the Chu army wants to attack and disturb, it is useless to put many chariots in front.What's more, Chu has troops that have the courage to come out and engage in sabotage, and their mobility is not good at all.The tolerance of the mule is beyond Shang Wuji's imagination, and when the horse can no longer continue to carry the load at all, the mule is slightly hydrated, and the soaking can actually last for a while.What shocked Shang Wuji even more was that the total consumption of a day, the mule was not much higher than the horse, it was basically the same."
Wu Man's creation is really extraordinary.Alas, "when I went up the hill and looked out from afar, the troops of Wu were digging pits and building houses with all their hearts, and they were also in a posture of fighting a protracted war."
But Dou Zun knows that the real Wu people may consume with him, but Li Xie will not, even if Li Xie has the strength to fight a war of attrition, he will not consume."
Danyang Gong, the lowly private thinks that he can ask for help from the upper township, transfer the people, and strengthen the pass.""
Hmm" Dou Zun nodded with a whisker, Li Jie's large army is coming over in a steady stream now, and the transportation team is very long, and the troops were sent to harass it before, but unfortunately the effect is very bad.This time, as long as the Wu troops came out this time, as long as they were combatants, everyone carried bows and arrows, which was very abnormal.All the teams that go to sneak attack, basically, as soon as they appear, the people of Wu will not talk nonsense with you, and the combatants will all bend their bows and shoot arrows.Let's talk about shooting a round, and then look at the behavior of Douzun's subordinates after shooting, continue to fight with a spear after all, and continue to hurry away from it.There is no advantage in mobility, and there is no generation difference in long-range weapons, Dou Zun knows that Li Xie is wearing a turtle shell, but he has nothing to do.I watched as the trench grew longer and more complex, like a spider's web, towards the Great Tunnel.Even the earthen walls of the Wu people have begun to be built along the mountain, an unheard of operation.Where is this war, this is clearly a child's house.However, the ability to counter the fortifications, Dou Zun did not have, he was originally the defender, and before the rise of the Wu State, the Great Tunnel Pass was only a bridgehead for attack.It wasn't until Gou Chen, an old monster, broke the main force of Chu in one go, that the Great Tunnel Pass changed from an ordinary pass to a seven-fold pass."
Wu Man's tactics are not good for our army, so go to Shangyun for help!""
Hey!"
To deal with the turtle formation, Douzun decided to pile up manpower and fortifications as well.If you build a low wall, I will build a high platform, and if I am condescending, I can shoot you to death.Douzun's requirements are not high, as long as Li Jie's large army is left here, it will be considered a success, as for whether Li Xie has divided his troops and raised his troops, he is not the main general, and the operation of the three armies has nothing to do with him.And not surprisingly, Dou Zun thought that the main force of the three armies, the operation was no different from him, and he should also rely on Baiju City to build a large number of defensive positions to block the Wu troops in Dabie Mountain.Whether it is effective or not, let's not mention it first, the advantages of local combat can definitely be brought into play.If the Wu people can still defeat the Chu troops, Douzun will also admit it, but unless the Wu people can fly over Dabie Mountain, they will have to grind with them here.After grinding to the autumn harvest, at least it can break the myth of Li Jie's "attack"."
Without further ado, hurry up and ask for help!""
Hey!"
After watching Wu Guo's engineering operations, Dou Zun was determined, and fighting to the death in the field was not his need.The four thousand disciples of the Dou clan in the Great Tunnel Pass, this is the essence of the family, how can it be wasted on fighting each other in the field for no reason.Guarding the position, Douzun doesn't believe it, Li Jie's troops have three heads and six arms?
Outside the Great Tunnel, the small fortress of the Chu State outside was broken, and the evacuated Chu troops all entered the inside of the Great Tunnel Pass, as if they were going to defend it.The terrain of the northwest section of Dabie Mountain is very fragmented, and although the earthwork can also be done, there is not much room for play, and it is necessary to change along the direction of the mountain at every turn.The combination of mountains, rocks, civil engineering, and the loss of tools is extremely great, but Shang Wuji is not worried about these losses at all, for this battle, the shogunate saved so many tools, just to consume.Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, accumulating so much inventory, in order to use it now!"
Report!""
Speak.""
It is suspected that the guard of the tunnel will lead the investigation by Douzun.""
Where are you now?""
Already gone.""
How long?""
About two quarters.""
Hmm" Shang Wuji groaned slightly, and then said, "Keep an eye on the changes in the big tunnel, and explore again!"
”"Yes!"
Seeing that Douzun was still in the Great Tunnel Pass, Shang Wuji suddenly appeared with a smile, he estimated that the three armies of the Chu State and Douzun should have nothing to do with it.Otherwise, Douzun shouldn't still be here, but will send more troops to stop him from building fortifications.This is a good phenomenon, if the next big tunnel pass further strengthens the defensive strength, then it means that the large forces of the Chu State have all been transferred to the Dabie Mountain, and it may even be a very extensive area."
It's up to the next few days."
Shang Wuji's heart couldn't help beating violently a few times, the large army of the Chu State had been attracted over, whether the brother-in-law boss could support the central government of the Chu State in one wave depended on the past few days.
