It really can't be blamed for Zhou Nan's interest in this Sancha estuary. Even if I don't know that this Sancha estuary will develop into another Yanjing City in the future, but with the critical location connecting the north-south canal, there are also special reasons for the two territories here.

In the area south of the boundary river between the Song Dynasty and the Liao, within a range of fifty miles from north to south, it is the scope of the two territories. The so-called two territories, that is, they neither belong to the Song nor the Liao, do not have to pay taxes, but they still have to bear the errand service. The people who dwelt on the two earths were the two households, and they could enter and leave the borders of the two countries. This was tacitly approved by the Song and Liao countries, so as to reduce some border conflicts.

However, in this way, when the two countries went to war, the two subordinate households often spied on intelligence left and right, profited from it, and even participated in the war, serving as the leader of the army; When the two countries were stable, the two households often used each other with merchants to do some smuggling and make some money.

For a long time, these two-subordinate households have had the momentum of occupying the mountains and becoming kings in the two subordinate lands, and they are no longer ordinary rural people, but a force with weapons and strict organization, and coercing ordinary people to obey their orders.

However, these two earthly forces are only some associations and gangs after all. Along the Baigou River, from west to east, there are dozens of large and small territorial forces, each guarding their own sphere of influence, and they are also peaceful.

These are still what Zhou Nan heard from Jia Laoliu, just like the area around the mouth of the Sancha River, it must also be the territory of two households.

"Your Majesty, if you want to go over and have a look, Rong Xiao will transfer some more soldiers and horses." Xiao Sandao saw that Zhou Nan was really going to the Sancha estuary on the west bank of the river, so he hurriedly said something to stop him.

"Why do you need to bring more soldiers and horses? Are these people still going to fight against the officers and the army? "Although Zhou Nan is only accompanied by a pro-army, he has seen a lot of battles large and small, where will he take these people in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, in the area of the mouth of the Sancha River, there are about 400 households and more than 2,000 people, and the people are fierce, led by two brothers from Changhui South and Changhui North, and there are hundreds of people under their command, and they are very arrogant. Just because these are two territories, we have not been ordered by the generals, but we have not violated the river water with these people's well water. If the king wants to go and see, the younger one will bring more of his men. Xiao Sandao said cautiously.

"You don't have to transfer troops and horses, it's enough to have my pro-army." With Zhou Nan's ship coming, only the Yidu pro-army guards led by Li Feixing, and dozens of people on the military ship of Agori, Xiao Sandao's men and horses stayed in the military village and had no national strength. Zhou Nan said disapprerovitically: "Chang Hui Nan, Chang Hui North, if you really dare to be arrogant, you will stew his brothers and sisters with a spoonful, and let these two subordinates know how powerful my Wan Shengjun is." ”

Xiao Sandao and A Guoli couldn't stand these two subordinates for a long time, but they didn't order to suppress these people, and they were afraid that they would provoke a border provocation with the Southern Dynasty, and they would become sinners, so although they were only separated by a river, they had never invaded here.

Today, a concubine personally ordered, and it was when the two of them behaved, Xiao Sandao and Agoli refused to lag behind, and said to Zhou Nan: "The little one begs the concubine to wait a while, so I will lead the army to go ashore first and lead the way for the king of the concubines." ”

said that it was to lead the way, but in fact, it was necessary to go ashore first, test the reaction of these two households on the shore, and ensure the safety of Zhou Nan. Zhou Nanjaw agreed.

Xiao Sandao immediately got on the military boat with Agori, and with dozens of sergeants on it, he rowed the military boat towards the mouth of the Sancha River on the west bank of the river.

On the west bank of the river, there was nothing but undulating fields and wild grass. But when Xiao Sandao and their military boat were about to row to the shore, a row of human heads suddenly emerged from the water on the shore, all naked, several of them raised their hands together, only to hear a few sounds of "grab, grab", four harpoons nailed to the bow of the warship, under the sun, the sharp fork tips of the harpoons flashed with cold light.

"Listen, the harpoons have no eyes, and Hugh must go forward again, lest he stumble and hurt anyone." A man in the water shouted loudly to Xiao Sandao and the others.

Where will the soldiers put on hold back? Suddenly raised his hand and shot a rain of arrows, and those people in the water suddenly dived into the water and disappeared.

"You wait for the border people, and you don't welcome the officials and soldiers when you see them?!" Xiao Sandao saved face and shouted.

Not far from the water surface that appeared just now, the man who answered poked his head out again, "I am here two territories, and since I have come to belong, we are just a lot of servants of the imperial court, and we do not offend each other with the imperial court, I don't know what the official army means when they go ashore?" Although he spoke politely, he did not back down, and the implication was that the area around the mouth of the Sancha River was regarded as a forbidden place and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

"Bold! Wherever the Wansheng army goes, how can you be allowed to occupy and run rampant?! Xiao Sandao raised his hand, and another rain of arrows shot out, and the man saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly dived into the water to dodge. Agori was busy rowing his men and rowing the military boat to the opposite shore.

When it was about to dock, the hull of the warship suddenly stopped there, unable to move forward. Zhou Nan was puzzled, and someone on the military ship suddenly shouted: "The bottom of the boat is permeable!" "It seems that the hull of the ship shook just now, and I don't know what was hit underwater, which actually broke the bottom of the warship.

Ah Guo looked ugly inside, and yelled, "Catch the water thief!" Then he took off his armor and jumped into the water, and the sergeants of the Wyvern Army also jumped into the river from the hull of the boat, capturing the two families who had just damaged the warship in the water.

Zhou Nan was also a little apprehensive in his own boat, if these people sneaked under his own boat first and came on such a sudden, just like the military ship just now, although the hull would not capsize, but it would be a shame to swim back to the shore after falling into the water.

Just when Zhou Nan was anxious, Ah Guoli took his Flying Dragon Army and sailed out of the river, and grabbed a few men who had just appeared on the opposite bank, one of which was the man who had just answered, and swam towards the shore here in Zhou Nan.

"On the horse, only four water thieves belonging to the two families were caught, and the rest of the people had already taken refuge in the river. Under the boat on which the king of horses was mounted, the younger one had sent someone to stay behind to prevent the thieves from sneaking in again. Agori let his men escort the captured man to Zhou Nan's boat, and reported to Zhou Nan himself.

Obviously, the people of these two families were familiar with the terrain of the river here, and they took advantage of the geographical advantage to dig through the bottom of the boat first, and when they saw the officers and soldiers coming to arrest them, they quickly slipped away, so that the officers and soldiers could not catch them.

"These people despise the army and scuttle the ship, it is better to kill these four people, and see if these people are honest or not!" Although Agoli caught four people, it was a shame to scuttle his own military ship in front of Zhou Nan, so he wanted to kill these four people to vent his anger.

"No! I have something to say to these people, so I will first send back a messenger and call the person who is in charge of their affairs. Zhou Nan commanded.

"Go and call Changhui South and Changhui North, the king of the horse wants to see him today, if he is late, Hugh said that these three people lost their lives, and when the army comes, how can the Shizhang River stop the army?! Discipline you, the three-way estuary chicken dog is gone! Seeing Zhou Nan speak, Agoli ordered someone to let go of the man who answered, and said in a vicious voice.

The man who answered saw that today's battle was not something he could handle, and he was not as arrogant as just now, so he just said, "Wait! With that, he jumped into the water and went back.
