It's just that the food of 80,000 people, even if it is just a day's ration, is no longer a few.

Therefore, after the order was given, the defenders of the ferry were instantly reduced by more than half.

Seeing this, Tang Mo smiled, and while heading south with his personal guards, he asked Zhang Qi, who was accompanying him: "General, I don't know what the situation is on Gongzi's side now?" ”

Zhang Zhi followed while responding: "Back to Sima, yesterday Gongzi had completely controlled Wucheng, but the cities around Wucheng, after hearing that there was turmoil in Wucheng, had sent some people to Wucheng to watch, but all of them were stopped by Gongzi outside Wucheng. It's a pity that the surrounding troops are still gathering towards Wucheng, and there are more and more troops, and the news that came this morning is that three thousand local troops have gathered outside Wucheng, and they seem to have signs of rebellion. Therefore, Gongzi was waiting for Sima's army to go at the moment. ”

Tang Yu smiled: "I see, there are only thousands of people, this is just a trivial matter." From Guyang to Wucheng, it is only a two-day journey, and the army led by this general will arrive in Wucheng in the morning of the next day, and at that time, a group of clowns will disperse. ”

"What Sima said is very true." Zhang Qi nodded approvingly.

At this time, the main force of the Yue State was not in the country, and the remaining troops, not 80,000 Chu troops, even if they were only 50,000, were enough to deter all parts of the Yue State and make them dare not act rashly.

While speaking, Tang Mo and Zhang Qi walked out of the ferry and came to a short distance to the south of the ferry.

At this time, Zhao Ying had already finished reorganizing the pioneer camp on the south side of the ferry.

Seeing the neatly arranged Chu army from a distance, he was surprised by the swiftness of the Chu army's action, and couldn't help but praise: "The Chu army has been floating on the river for three days, and at this time, as soon as it gets off the ground, it can still quickly set up a formation and march to other places. ”

Tang Mo laughed when he heard this.

When he saw Tang Yu in the chapter, he immediately laughed with him.

Before the laughter stopped, there was a sudden noise at the ferry behind him.

Zhang Qi immediately stopped laughing, and then looked back, only to see that there was a big chaos in the ferry, and it seemed that there was a dispute between the two armies of Chu and Yue.

"This..."

Zhang Qi was shocked when he saw this, thinking that the Vietnamese army in the ferry had clashed with the Chu army, and was about to run back to the ferry to calm the conflict.

But I didn't want to, as soon as my left foot stepped out, my right hand was grabbed by someone, and then, my right foot couldn't go out.

When he turned his head, he saw that the person who grabbed him was Chu Sima Tang Yu.

At this time, Tang Mo took Zhang Qi's hand and said with a smile: "General, my Chu army has a lot of baggage, and in order to rush to Wucheng quickly, I am afraid it will be difficult to carry so much baggage." Therefore, the general wanted to borrow the Guyang ferry for a few days to temporarily release the Chu army's baggage, but I don't know what the general wants. ”

Zhang Qi was stunned, and looked at Tang Wu pulling him in surprise, and he was at a loss.

The so-called borrowing the ferry to place the baggage is nothing more than wanting to occupy the ferry, which is obvious, and the chapter period is still understood.

It's just that the chapter period doesn't know whether it should be rejected or not.

If he refused Tang Yu's request, would Chu Jun be furious?

Directly turn your face with the Yue country!

If you don't refuse, this ferry is an important stronghold for Yue to defend Chu, if the Chu army occupies the ferry, then it is not returned, how is it good?

Even if his father Zhang Yi is Gongziyu's most trusted minister, I am afraid it will be difficult to save him from losing the ferry.

Thinking about it, cold sweat broke out on his head.

Just when Zhang was thinking hard about countermeasures, a Vietnamese sergeant ran over quickly and reported: "General, it's not good, the Chu army suddenly made a move and wanted to occupy the ferry, but our soldiers were short of manpower and couldn't resist it, and they were being driven out of the ferry by the Chu army." ”

"This..."

Zhang Zhi's whole body stiffened when he heard this, and the Chu people really wanted to forcibly take the ferry.

How is this good?

Zhang Qi saw that the Vietnamese soldiers in the ferry were constantly being driven out by the Chu people, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold.

Seeing this, Tang Mo waved his hand and asked the guards to drive the Vietnamese soldier away, and then spoke again: "General, this place is a place that my Chu army urgently needs. Therefore, how about Ben Jiang temporarily borrow from the general for a few days, take Ben General to lead the army back to Chu State, and then return it? ”

Hearing Tang Fu's words, Zhang Qi glanced at Tang Fu, who was very sincere, but there was still no reaction on his face.

At this time, Zhang Qi secretly said in his heart: It is impossible to lend the ferry to the Chu people, but it is also impossible to refuse at this time. The only way to do this is to do nothing, so I returned to Wucheng and asked Gongzi for guilt, saying that the Chu people took advantage of the time to go ashore and forcibly take the ferry, so that they could get rid of the crime.

Thinking about it, Zhang Qi calmed down, but his face was still stiff, dazed and overwhelmed.

Soon, the Chinese and Vietnamese soldiers at the ferry, due to an absolute disadvantage in numbers and without the command of the commander, were driven out of the ferry by the Chu army.

Tang Yu saw that the banner of the Chu army had been planted in the ferry, and the overall situation had been decided, so he let go of Zhang Zhi's hand, and thanked Zhang Qi in front of him: "Thank you General for success." ”

There was still no response from the chapter.

······

Two hours later, the 80,000 Chu troops and the baggage all went ashore, and then, Tang Yu left 3,000 Chu troops to defend the ferry, and then the army under his command, with the reluctant Zhang Period, and the 3,000 Yue troops under the command of Zhang Period, went south together.

The next day, the army passed through Yanling, received some supplies, and continued to Wucheng, and on the morning of the third day, the army arrived at a place fifteen miles north of Wucheng and set up a barracks.

Wu Chengzhong.

Zhang Yi excitedly reported to Gongzi Yuyu: "King, good news, the spies have come to report that the 80,000 Chu army led by Chu Sima Tang Yu has arrived fifteen miles north of Wucheng. In addition, the rebels gathered in the west and south had already retreated after hearing the news of the arrival of the Chu army. ”

Gongzi Yu stood up from the throne of Yue with great joy when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Okay, good, it's really good, so, it's a big thing." ”

Saying that, Gongziyu walked back and forth a few times, and then said: "Shangqing, the arrival of the Chu army can be regarded as taking over the urgent need of the widow, and the widow must also express that the army must be labored." ”

After a pause, Gongziyu looked at Zhao Slip on the side, this is the best candidate to go to the labor army, but he remembered Yue Meng's previous conjecture that the Chu State might fight Huainan's attention, hesitated in his heart, and decided not to let Zhao Slip go to Chu Camp to communicate with the Chu people.

So, Gongziyu asked Zhang Yi: "Shangqing, I don't know who Qing can do?" ”

Zhao Slip was stunned when he heard this.

The purpose of sending people from the country of Vietnam to labor troops was to strengthen the friendly relations between Chu and Vietnam.

This kind of thing, is there anyone more suitable than him, a person from the Zhao clan of the Chu State?

Zhao Hua was suspicious in his heart, Gongziyu's move was abnormal.

On the other side, Zhang Yi glanced at Gongzi Yu curiously.

Obviously, Zhao is here, this is the best person to contact the Chu people, why do you still ask.

Just looking at Gongziyu's serious appearance, Zhang Yi thought thoughtfully, it seems that Gongziyu doesn't want Zhaohua to go to Chuying.

Is this to prevent Zhao Slip from having the heart to leave Yue and return to Chu, or is there another consideration?

Zhang Yi secretly speculated.

After thinking about it, he arched his hand and said: "King, the minister thinks that the doctor Chen Huan has been an envoy to the Chu State in the past, and he has some friendship with the Chu State, so he can be the envoy." ”
