The confrontation between the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Army has gradually entered a full-scale confrontation, and in the area from Xiakou to Chaisang, there will be small-scale water battles every day, and the atmosphere of the war has gradually become tense.

Xiakou Water Village, on the high watchtower, Chen Mo looked at the river from afar, and his eyes looked to the east.

"Counting the time, it's time for Yu Sheng and them to leave." Chen Mo said inexplicably.

Behind him, Xun You nodded: "Calculate the time, the king's edict should have been transmitted to the East China Sea a long time ago, Zang Ba's Qingzhou army has arrived in Guangling, and it can leave at any time, king, this battle should be over." ”

"yes, it's time to finish." Chen Mo nodded, glanced at Xun You and said with a smile: "I just don't know, after this battle, will the world really be peaceful?" ”

Xun You smiled when he heard this: "I believe it will." ”

"I hope so......" Chen Mo sighed, didn't say anything more, the world is peaceful...... This is a hope he has had since he was a child, but it is difficult to really do it.

……

Xuzhou, Guangling, the border of Hailing County, is the endless ocean, the river flows into the sea, although in recent years Chen Mo began to focus on the development of some sparsely populated places, but Hailing has not developed here, sparsely populated, hundreds of miles can see few people pitiful, but in the past few people cared about the place, recently a large number of troops have been stationed.

"General, why did we suddenly come here and station?" After Sun Guan inspected the camp, he came to Zang Ba to restore his life, and at the same time asked his doubts, they have been coming to the Hailing garrison for more than a month, 40,000 troops, eating and drinking every day is a huge expense, of course, it is not here to spend, but just sending food here is a lot of expenses, why not?

"The king's edict, you and I will do it." Zang Ba put the map on the table, looked at Sun Guan and said, "What's the matter?" Eat and drink for nothing for you to live here, you still don't want to? ”

"How can that?" Sun Guan shook his head: "It's just that I don't understand what the king means?" ”

"Naturally, I came to attack Koto." Zang Ba laughed.

"Koto? How difficult is this? Did I send someone to mix fishermen to investigate? There are heavy troops stationed at the ferry on the other side, and this big river is twenty miles away? How's it going? Sun Guan shook his head and said.

"The king has his own opinions." Zang Ba shook his head? He didn't understand too much either.

While the two were talking, a siren suddenly sounded outside the camp? The two of them changed their faces and hurriedly left the camp? I saw Wu Dun and Yin Li walking towards this side.

"What happened?" Zang Ba frowned and asked? Where this bird doesn't, there won't be any enemy troops coming to attack it, right?

"General, there are a large number of ships on the coast, and the officers and men of our army are clearly warning them? The other party doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping? Approaching the shore! Wu Dun frowned.

"Check it out!" Zang Ba took the reins handed by the guards, turned over his horse, and led everyone out of the camp all the way to the coast. Far away, you can see a huge ship? How big is it that you can't see at the moment, but from a distance? It was as if a hill was approaching the shore, around the giant ship? And a dozen battleships? Although it looks a lot smaller visually? But it is also far beyond the ordinary building ship, but around the giant ship, it looks much more slender.

Further out, the dense boats were impossible to count for a while, and when they got closer, they could see that there were ballistas on top of the boats, which made people's scalps numb.

"General, it's the banner of our army!" Sun Guan suddenly pointed to the other party's flag and shouted.

Zang Ba hurriedly looked at it when he heard this, and many ships were erected with bright flags, which also made Zang Ba breathe a sigh of relief, but just in case, Zang Ba still sent someone to take a boat over to confirm the identity of the other party.

It's just that before the ship goes out to sea, there is already a clipper speeding towards this side.

"Don't do it!" Seeing that many soldiers subconsciously raised their bows and arrows, Zang Ba hurriedly shouted.

When the warship approached the shore, Zang Ba found that the warship, which looked quite inconspicuous on the sea, was seen from a close distance at this moment, with a length of three zhang and a width of about one zhang, with a cabin inside, and the ballistas on the board were not small, and more than ten people stood on a boat, feeling quite spacious.

"Under the account of General Zhao Zhengdong, under the general of the expedition, he came to hand over the order with the Hailing garrison!" A general jumped out of the boat, took out an official letter from his arms and looked at the people around him: "I don't know if General Zang Ba is here?" ”

"So-and-so!" Zang Ba motioned for everyone to get out of the way, and a personal guard stepped forward to take the letter and hand it to Zang Ba.

Zang Ba opened the letter, and after confirming that the seal was correct, he read the official document, which was from Chen Mo's hand, and all the actions of the Hailing garrison were commanded by Yu Sheng.

"That's right." Zang Ba nodded, accepted the official document, looked at the fleet approaching in the distance, and asked, "General Yu Sheng is on the ship?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to stop here for a day in the near future." That Zhao sent down and said.

Zang Ba nodded, and the port was cleared so that Yu Sheng's fleet could dock.

A quarter of an hour later, the mighty ships began to dock on the shore, Zang Ba finally knew this time why such a huge ferry port was built in a place where birds don't, and the general ferry really couldn't dock these ships, especially the largest one, after getting closer, the hull higher than the city wall made Zang Ba intuitively feel what it means to be small, there is such a big ship in this world?

Soon, Yu Sheng and Liu Yi came down from the boat with the escorts, and Zang Ba hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The last general is the thief and the general Zang Ba, I have seen the general!" ”

"General Zang doesn't have to be polite." Yu Sheng stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice: "The general is here to break through Eastern Wu on the order of the king, and the soldiers under General Zang's account need to listen to my orders, is General Zang willing?" ”

"Can the general please show the king's decree?" Zang Ba bowed.

Yu Sheng nodded, took out Chen Mo's appointment and dismissal documents from his arms and handed them to Zang Ba, and after Zang Ba confirmed it again, he bowed down and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”

"Very well, the general will come with me." Yu Sheng said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Zang Ba agreed, followed Yu Sheng to board the main ship, and got on the main ship, Zang Ba looked down, and still couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion, feeling that with just this one ship, he could knock over all the bullshit Jiangdong sailors.

The group came to the cabin, and this palace-like cabin also made Zang Ba's eyes straight.

"General, there is this ship, although the Jiangdong Navy Division is not afraid, but as far as the last general knows, there are many hidden piles at the river ferry, although this warship is good, but I am afraid it will be difficult to dock." After Zang Ba was polite, he expressed the doubts in his heart.

"It seems that General Zang has also made an investigation of Jiangdong during this time, which is good." Yu Sheng smiled with satisfaction, he likes to be rigorous in doing things, whether it is combat or otherwise, he will consider everything that can be considered, Zang Ba's attitude makes Yu Sheng quite appreciative.

"The general has a good reputation, and this is the duty of the general." Zang Ba said modestly.

"I won't say polite words, this time I am not going to take the ferry along the river, but by sea." Yu Sheng gestured to the general beside him, and the general immediately put a pair of charts away.

Yu Sheng took a bamboo stick and pointed to the map and said: "This time our army not only wants to break Jiangdong, but also to take advantage of the situation to occupy Jiangdong and block Sun Quan's counterattack, so the lord not only prepared 100,000 sailors, but also mobilized the general's headquarters here, now Jiangdong soldiers and horses, most of them are concentrated in the Chaisang area, although there is a deployment along the river, but our army does not take the ferry along the river, but takes the sea route to take the Huiji, the general immediately mobilized the soldiers and horses under the tent on the ship, familiar with the environment on the ship tonight, early tomorrow morning, will set off to Huiji, we are ready to dock in the sentence, The general's men and horses should break through the sentence as soon as possible, and then quickly go north, Shangyu, Guling captured, based on these three counties, spread to the surrounding areas, the defenders along the river will come to the rescue, the general will lead the sailors to take advantage of its rescue will be the occasion, the main attack on Wu County, Danyang ferry, once successful, Jiujiang still has 30,000 soldiers and horses will cross the river and land, at that time, you and I two soldiers and horses cooperate, the three counties of the army will be wiped out, and then if it goes well, in Panyang will be divided! ”

Zang Ba gasped when he heard this, 30,000 in Jiujiang, 40,000 here, plus 100,000 sailors, there are 170,000 troops here alone, if you add Chen Mo's 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Jingxiang area, this time in the southern expedition to Jiangdong, Chen Mo actually used nearly 400,000 troops, which is almost the strength of the country.

Zang Ba suddenly mentioned in his heart that Sun Quan was a little sad, and gathered all his strength to meet Chen Mo, but he didn't know that the soldiers and horses brought by Chen Mo were just to attract Jiangdong's attention, and the real killing move was behind it!

"The last general commands!" Zang Ba said in a deep voice.

"Remember, after occupying these cities, defend first and then attack, don't be careless, Jiangdong generals are not mediocre, this battle is about whether the king can calm the troubled times, be cautious!" Yu Sheng instructed.

"Don't worry, the general understands!" Zang Ba bowed and said.

At that moment, Zang Ba got off the ship and let the soldiers start to board the ship, and at the same time, Yu Sheng also arranged for the soldiers on the ship to come down to rest and recuperate, leaving only the soldiers who will sail tomorrow.

There was no word all night, and early the next morning, the mighty fleet began to advance again, but the main ship did not set sail, transporting 40,000 soldiers, and without all the ships to dispatch, thousands of warships slowly left the coast, bypassing the Jiangdong garrison at the mouth of the sea, and headed in the direction of Huiji.

In the rear of Jiangdong, the defensive force is mostly in Wujun and Danyang, He Qi and Quan Cong never dreamed that the enemy army would suddenly appear in the hinterland of Huiji County in the rear, although the three counties of Juzhang, Guling and Shangyu are Zhongxuan cities, but the defenders are not many, and they never thought that the enemy army could appear here, so when Zang Ba led the Qingzhou army to land, when the mighty Ming army appeared here, Juzhang was easily taken by Zang Ba without resistance, Shangyu and Guling were even before the arrival of the Ming army, they opened the city and surrendered, After the three cities were taken by Zang Ba's soldiers without blood, Zang Ba did not continue to the north, but quickly organized the defense line, counted the materials, and at the same time based on the three cities, quickly gathered the surrounding cities, relying on the terrain, began to organize defense, and waited for the Jiangdong army to attack, and on the other side, Yu Sheng also began to send people to spy on the intelligence on the other side after the fleet returned, ready to go out at any time and attack Jiangdong......
