Dong Si's cottage is in the southwest of Poyang, which is the border between Yuzhang County and Huiji County. It is nearly thousands of miles away from Cao Su's location, and there is still the main force of the county soldiers led by Zhou Yi in the middle. With only a rough direction pointed by the old farmer, it was obviously impossible to reach it.

But this did not prevent Cao Miaobu from being suspicious.

After capturing a few live mouths one after another and asking for some news, Cao Miao drew a few road maps and found a way to send them to Zhou Yi.

Cao Miao and Xiahou Hui agreed that Poyang was newly established, the people's hearts were not attached, and a large number of Shanyue people were recruited by Wu to join the army, with heavy casualties and few rewards, and the accumulated grievances were bound to be not small. Zhou Yi sat in Poyang and shouldered a heavy responsibility, and when he found that Dong Hei in the territory might be related to the Wei army, he was bound to not dare to take it lightly, and at least arrange for people to be vigilant.

In this way, Cao Su will face at least less pressure.

It is not new for Wei to incite Shanyue, Cao Su is facing a desperate situation, and it is too normal to contact those marshals who are in danger.

For Cao Su, Dong Si is far from quenching his thirst, but others can consider it.

For example, Peng Qi, the marshal of Poyang, who was defeated the year before last.

Although Peng Qi was defeated and captured by Zhou Yi and others, there were still many remnants of his party, and there were even more weaker handsomes. Zhou Yi can control the county, but he can't control those people in the mountains.

As far as Cao Miao knew, the struggle between Wu and Shanyue lasted almost the entire history of Wu, with He Qi and Lu Xun in the front, Zhou Yi, Zhong Limu, and the famous Zhuge Ke, most of whom started with the conquest of Shanyue.

It's just that although there are many mountains, what can be fought is limited, and most of them have not set off any waves, but have become the experience package of the generals of Wu State.

What if they had the right leadership? At least the noise can be bigger.

Since Zhou Yi was bent on surrounding them, they simply planted a few thorns in Zhou Yi's flesh.

With the help of Cao Miao and Xiahou Hui, Cao Su selected some soldiers, or three or five, or seven or eight people, to act as messengers, and acted separately to find those Shanyue tribes of different sizes, and made a wish to encourage them to fight against Zhou Yi.

These people are all veterans who have been fighting with Cao Su for a long time, they are good at martial arts, they are familiar with the customs of Shanyue, and they also have a certain command ability. With them to train Shanyue and guerrilla warfare, Zhou Yi will be very painful.

Cao Su made an oath with these soldiers for a period of one year. A year later, as long as they can return to Dawei alive, there will be a heavy reward. If anyone dies in battle, they will be rewarded with wives and children, and they will be separated from their ranks.

It was more tempting to break away from the rank of soldier than to be rewarded, and the appointed soldiers were enthusiastic one by one, swearing to the sky that they would let Zhou Yi understand what real guerrilla warfare was.

After the team was dispatched, Cao Su only had more than 30 people left, and then rushed to a nearby cottage.

——

When the maps were first seized, Zhou Yi didn't pay much attention to them.

Dong Si was too far away, several main roads were controlled by him, and the direction was not right, Cao Su crossed the mountains and mountains, and it was not very likely that he would take the trail to defect to Dong Si, obviously a suspicious soldier. Just arrange for people to be on heightened vigilance, and there is no need to make a fuss.

But later, when he noticed that Cao Su had suddenly quieted down and no more scouts attacking him, he realized that trouble was coming.

Cao Su had the intention of fighting for a long time.

Once he made contact with the nearby Shanyue and stationed in their cottage, he could get food supplies and put down roots. And those cottages have the guidance of Cao Su and others, and their combat capabilities will also be greatly improved, and it cannot be ruled out that their ambitions are inflated and they want to restore their previous state of autonomy.

Cao Su only had about a hundred people in total, and for those tribes, the burden was not great, but the benefits were very high, and there was no reason to refuse.

As a result, Poyang will be in chaos.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi broke out in a cold sweat. He knew he had made a big mistake. I wanted to close the door and beat the dogs, but I never thought that the foreign wild dogs and the local local dogs might smell like each other and mix together.

In the final analysis, he made a mistake in judgment, thinking that Cao Su was born noble, and there were Cao Miao and Xiahou Hui by his side, so he would not be degraded to nobility, and colluded with those barbarians and would only abscond wholeheartedly, and he did not consider the possibility that Cao Su would stay and not leave.

It's too late to regret it now. All he could hope for was another mistake in his judgment, and Cao Su retreated and lost his trace temporarily, instead of hiding in the mountains and forests and taking root in Poyang.

Zhou Yi once again sent people to inform the counties, requisition the people, guard the city, and prevent the mountains from attacking and disturbing.

But good news doesn't have to come, but bad news does.

Five days later, Shangrao County, behind Zhou Yi, warned that a large number of mountains had appeared outside the city. Different from the usual siege of the city, these mountains learned to cheat, besieged the city in the first half of the night, made trouble in the middle of the night, and sent people to climb the city in the early morning, and opened the city gate in one fell swoop.

Shangrao was tragically ransacked.

Before Zhou Yi came to his senses, Le'an also came with news. Shanyue first sent people to pretend to be charcoal sellers, sneaked into the city, and in the middle of the night, he joined the outside, hacked the soldiers who defended the city, and introduced Shanyue lurking outside the city into the city and looted it on a large scale.

Zhou Yi carefully interrogated the messenger, and saw two things in common: first, the two attacks were extremely organized, which was different from Shanyue's usual practice; The second is that there are a few people with excellent skills who make sharp knives, which play a key role.

There is no doubt that this is Cao Su's subordinates.

Zhou Yi didn't dare to slack off any longer, and while passing a letter to Sun Luban, asking her to immediately lead her troops into Poyang County, and at the same time leading the county soldiers to attack the nearest cottage.

Taking advantage of Cao Su's unstable foothold, breaking through at a lightning speed and killing an example is the best choice he can think of at present.

Now there is at least one reason to comfort himself, he knows where Cao Su is, and there is no need to surround the mountain.

After two days of rapid marching, Zhou Yi led his troops to Furong Jian, southwest of Le'an County.

This is the place where Shanyue entrenched in the county seat of Le'an a few days ago, led by the two Chen brothers, the elder brother is called Chen Yin, who is cunning, and the younger brother is called Chen Qiang, who is brave. He once responded to the call of the marshal Peng Qi and rebelled, but was later suppressed by Zhou Yi.

The Chen brothers' tribe is not large, adding up to more than 300 households and more than 2,000 people. When Peng Qi was in trouble, they were defeated by Zhou Yi and tied their hands, and now they jumped out to make trouble, and Zhou Yi naturally wanted to cut them.

Zhou Yi was very cautious, for fear of being ambushed by Cao Su, so he took every step of the way.

He sent two locals as envoys to the cottage to deliver a letter, strictly reprimanding Chen Yin and Chen Qiang for their treachery, and ordering them to surrender within three days, otherwise the army would move and the jade would be burned.

Three days later, when Zhou Yi arrived at the foot of the mountain, the brothers Chen Yin and Chen Qiang did not come, and the messenger returned.

The cottage was empty, not to mention people, not even a chicken.

Zhou Yi was dumbfounded. It wasn't what he expected, and it was very different from all his previous experience.

The Chen brothers made a decisive decision and even gave up the nest that had been operating for decades?
