399. Battle of Qinghu (1)

Zhou Yansu walked into Zhou Yanbo's room with a bowl of medicine, then put the medicine on the bedside and said to Zhou Yanbo: "Brother, Lord Zhou Ke is back, and now the seven horses are all together...... However, as soon as Lord Zhou Ke came back, he was busy, and now Sister Yun Yun has also left Jiazhou for Yun Yu, Lord Zhou Yizhi was sent to Ye City, Sister Yun Yun predicted that the Han family might also move, and it would be Jiang Hongyuan, so I can't ignore Ye Cheng like last time, whether it is Luo Yingshe, or the rest of the Seven Horses, everyone has been sent out of Jiazhou to various places, and it is rare for Jiazhou to become so idle.

"Wake up, stupid man. Zhou Yansu sighed and said, "Jiazhou has no one to support it now, and it is not possible to rely on geese alone...... And Qinghu should be about to fight. ”

……

"What kind of joke is this!" Ye Qianxi came to Beihu and said to the military dock in Beihu. I thought that Beihu, as one of the larger lake ports, would be able to compete with the navy from Nanhu, but after coming, it was greatly disappointed, not to mention the people of the navy, that is, the docked ships, not even a medium-sized warship, let alone a large ship.

"As you can see. Wei Heng, the eldest son of Wei Li, shrugged, "Originally, Beihu belonged to the Huyang Wang clan, and the owner only knew about antique calligraphy and paintings, how could he train the navy? Even after the Zhou family took over, because there were always troubles on land in the west and north, they ignored the development of the navy, so the navy in Beihu was really not very good, if Nanhu attacked, these boats in Beihu would be vulnerable at all." ”

"And these small boats were made decades ago, right?" Leng Jiachen looked at the ships docked at the military dock and said, "And now shipbuilding technology is also changing with each passing day, ships like this have disappeared without a trace in Qianzhou, not for me to say big things, Qianzhou, a newest medium-sized ship, can easily deal with this bunch of small boats." ”

"These ships can't be used at all!" Ye Qianxi said, "If I'm not mistaken, with the current capacity of the Beihu Shipyard, it is impossible to build one or two medium-sized ships in a short time, right?"

"You're not mistaken. Wei Heng did not shy away from saying at all: "If you build one or two merchant ships, you may still be in a hurry, but you don't have to think about the warships, and after three or four days, the other party will slowly approach Beihu, even if you can build it, it will take time to practice." ”

"That's not good, three or four days is not enough at all!" Ye Qianxi shook his head, "It's strange, when I came to Jiazhou House, I heard from the people in the house that Mr. Wei Li said that he was a person with a keen eye and was as smart as a god, how could he make such a low-level mistake." Ye Qianxi pointed to the fact that Beihu Lake was obviously leaning on the waterway, but Wei Li only ignored this.

"My father is just a human being, if Nanhu was not under the rule of the Zhou family, my father might have set up a water army, but after Nanhu belonged, Beihu was invincible on all sides, so he put down this matter and concentrated on other aspects. ”

"This is the most important thing, if I come to attack, I will send a dozen clippers to take the waterway directly into the North Lake at night, so that it is like a steel knife inserted into the heart of the Zhou family, you can imagine the result. ”

"Well...... After all, my father is good at politics, but he doesn't know much about military affairs, so naturally he can't think of the method you just mentioned. ”

"Forget it. Ye Qianxi sorted out his clothes and said, "It's too late to say this now, Leng Jiachen, you and Wei Heng will take a look around the docks and shipyards in the entire North Lake, and see if you can think of a way to solve the matter of the ship first, and I will give a fast boat to Qinghu Temple." ”

"Qinghu Temple?" Wei Heng thought that at this time, Ye Qianxi still had the heart to visit Qinghu Temple.

"Miss Yun said that if there is any difficulty, you can go to Qinghu Temple to ask, after all, the Four Dao Garan Society owes the Zhou family a favor, maybe I can think of any good way there. ”

"Okay, I'll prepare the fastest ship at once. Wei Heng nodded.

As soon as Ye Qianxi arrived at Qinghu Temple, he was received by the abbot of Qinghu Temple.

"Sir is here for the affairs of Nanhu, right?" asked in the meditation room, "I've been waiting here for a long time." ”

"The abbot was such a good judge. Ye Qianxi said, "I came for this, because no matter how you look at this battle, the Zhou family will lose, so if I want to win, I must win against the Nanhu rebels." ”

"Sir's obsession is really strong. "So, sir, do you have a solution?"

"Nope. Ye Qianxi shook his head, "So I came to ask Qinghu Temple if there was a good way, and when I came, the Zhou family specially told me that I could ask you for help." ”

"At that time, we were at fault for the rebellion, so we naturally had to help, but we were Buddhists after all, and there was no way to solve it. ”

"That's the case......" Ye Qianxi was a little disappointed.

"There is no good solution, but I have a few things here that might help him. Quit said angrily.

"Oh, what time are they?"

Jieyi took down a scroll from the bookshelf, on which the hydrological conditions of the entire Qinghu Lake were drawn, Jieyi pointed to the place where the Qinghu Temple was located and said, " Although Qinghu Lake is a lake, but the danger level in it is no worse than the sea, every summer and autumn here because of the weather and hydrological problems become very bad, is it not to set off a violent storm waves, even large ships are difficult to withstand, so far many people have lost their lives for this, so people who live in Qinghu know the safest route in each season. ”

"This is the safest way to go during this time. Jie Yi pointed to a line and said, this is an arc, starting from Nanhu, turning eastward, then bypassing the east side of Qinghu Temple Lake Island, and then slightly deviating north to reach Beihu.

"This road has to pass through the east side of Qinghu Temple's lake island...... Ye Qianxi found that not only this line, but also many lines will gather here in Qinghu Temple, and it seems that this is a temporary resting place.

"Even the navy of Nanhu can't go against the power of nature, if they want to attack Beihu, they must take this road, otherwise, even if they can reach Beihu, their strength will be weakened a lot. ”

"I see!" Ye Qianxi nodded, "If Qinghu Temple is used as a camp on the sea, even if it can't completely destroy the opponent's ships, it can still block the opponent for a while, and it can buy a lot of time for Beihu, so as to weaken the opponent's strength." ”

"It's a way. Quit nodded angrily.

"But won't this disturb Qinghu Temple?" "The last time Jialan plotted against him was a well-known thing in the world, although it did not completely bring down the Zhou family, it was also a toss-up, so Ye Qianxi had to ask cautiously.

"This time is different, the Sidao Garan Association has already been discussed, and it will try its best to help the Zhou family, so please let Mr. do it. ”

When he returned to Beihu, Ye Qianxi still kept sighing, just a storm of Jialan's rebellion, Zhou Yanbo had already bought the hearts of people with such a big organization as the Sidao Jialan Society, and the charm of this person was deeper than Ye Qianxi imagined.

Back to Beihu Ye Qianxi to see Leng Jiachen and ask him if he had any good ideas.

"News of enemy ships has just come from Landing in Yingshe. Wei Heng said, "Three large ships, eight medium-sized ships, and none of them are heavy. ”

"Do they think they have a chance to win?"

"And the big ship is still the kind of sealed boat, that is, the ceremonial boat. ”

"It's really underestimated. Ye Qianxi said to Leng Jiachen, "How is it, is there a good way to get on the ship?"

"There already is. Leng Jiachen said with a smile, "After Luo Yingshe's people showed us the situation of the other party's ships, I had a preliminary plan. ”

"Tell me about it. Ye Qianxi listened carefully, when Zhou Yanbo asked Ye Qianxi to build a new legion, he recommended Leng Jiachen to him, but he never knew this person, and shipbuilding technology was not what Zhou Yanbo said was good, so this time Ye Qianxi also took the opportunity to test Leng Jiachen's bottom, because he was responsible for the water power of the Zhou family.

"The other side is all medium and large ships, and from the type of view, they are all ships that are good at transportation and large-scale water battles, maybe because of the Qinghu hydrology, maybe because they want to use absolute strength to crush us at once, but this combination absolutely limits the speed of the other party. ”

"You're trying to win with speed?"

"That's right, such a sluggish ship is not protected by small ships or light ships, and it is easy to be exploited, so let's fight the slow with a quick one, such as burning Chibi again?"

"I see what you mean, you want to build small fire warships and burn all the medium and large ships of the other side in one fell swoop, this is indeed the most direct way. Wei Heng nodded.

"That's right, although those light ships in Beihu are outdated, with a little change, they will also be good fire ships. ”

"This is a bit of nonsense!" Ye Qianxi said, "Can't you try to launch a surprise attack or something to capture the other party's ships?"

"Lord Ye, you are a person who has experienced countless water battles, and you know the conditions required to capture the opponent's ships, Beihu has no ships that can be used to transport and water warfare for a while, this cannot be done, if you want to use those small boats to transport people, it is no different from the refueling tactics of increasing manpower one by one, this is not what an excellent general should use. ”

In the shortest possible time, Leng Jiachen understood all the advantages and disadvantages of the ships on both sides, and came up with a strategy to maximize his advantages, it seems that Zhou Yanbo really did not see the wrong person, Ye Qianxi was very satisfied with Leng Jiachen's performance.

"Besides, if those ships are burned, they will be burned, since Yan Bo wants to create a new naval army of the Zhou family, he will simply break all the old ones and start over!" Leng Jiachen continued.

Ye Qianxi found that Leng Jiachen was a little like Zhou Yanbo when he was bold, and this was probably also a manifestation of confidence in his own ability, so he said to Leng Jiachen: "Write down the detailed method for me before tonight, and do as you say." ”

"Yes!"

……

Two days later, on the island of Qinghu Temple, Ye Qianxi led all the archers at his disposal to stand by here, ready to deal with the Nanhu rebels.

Ye Qianxi and Leng Jiachen's first battle in the Zhou family, the Qinghu Water Battle, is about to begin.
