Chapter 217: A Feast for Crows (13)

"Dawu Jianping County Taishou Sheng Man visited the Shu Dynasty Da Sima, dare to ask Da Sima so much to mobilize the people to enter my Da Wu territory, what is his intention?"

On November 16, the Jin army withdrew north. Shu Hansi, who had been closely observing the movements of the Jin army, hurriedly reported this news to his side in a hurry. Guan Yi, who had been looking forward to it in Badong County for nearly a month, received the news and immediately ordered all the naval troops of the entire Shu Han to pour out.

Thanks to the improvement of Shu Han's finances in recent years, Guan Yi injected a lot of money into Shu Han's originally weak navy, so this time Shu Han's navy dispatched more than 30 huge ships of more than 100 stones, and more than 150 ships. As for small sampans and the like, there are countless of them. This time, down the east of the river, the entire Shu Han naval army has unprecedentedly reached more than 5,000 people.

Not only that, but behind this fleet, there were as many as 2,000 merchant ships and cargo ships of various sizes. What Guan Da Sima wants to do, it is obvious!

Such a large fleet attracted the attention of Taishou Shengman of Jianping County of Eastern Wu as early as when it was assembled. After Guan Yi's fleet entered Wuxia and officially entered the territory of Wu. Although he knew that he couldn't please him, Sheng Man still had to bite the bullet and board Guan Yi's ship.

"Hehehe, Sheng Taishou. That is true. I heard that your country is conquering the Bujia in Xiling. Well, this matter is the internal affair of your country. Han and Wu are allies, and we absolutely support this act of your country! You see, didn't we launch a large army in Hanzhong to deter Weixing County of the Jin Kingdom? It also successfully mobilized the 100,000 troops of the Jin State to retreat north. That's a lot of support. However, this Xiling Bujia rented 100,000 young men from our Han Fuxing Society as labor to open up wasteland! Of course, the life and death of this step family will be decided by your majesty's words. As a foreign minister, I won't say anything. But the 100,000 labor we leased to the Bu family will have to be returned to us. Therefore, this official went to Xiling to pick up people. Well, the alliance between Han and Wu is absolutely unbreakable! Please rest assured at this point! ”

After listening to Guan Yi's nonsense, Sheng Man only had one sentence in his heart: I have never seen such a brazen person!

"Da Sima, this matter is still up for discussion! Otherwise, you will first stop your army in my Jianping County. Then Xia Guan personally took a fast boat to Xiling to report to my family's Zuo Da Sima. In this way, misunderstandings between the two countries can be reduced. ”

"Eh, I am in love with your country's Zuo Da Sima, and my heart is in touch. There will be no misunderstanding. Well, Sheng Taishou, the situation in Jianping County is clear to the official, and it is relatively barren. I guess the speed of your ship is not as fast as my officer's ship. In this way, you and the official will go east together. Hehehe, okay, okay, don't say it again, that's it. Well, left and right, please Sheng Tai to go down and rest. ”

Jianping County is nothing but a buffer zone between Shu Han and Eastern Wu. The entire county is mountainous and sparsely populated. So Soochow didn't have many permanent troops here at all. Guan Yi put the Taishou of Jianping County under house arrest, and the poor sampans in Jianping County didn't dare to say anything, the only thing they could do was to paddle desperately, wanting to report to the army downstream as soon as possible.

But where can their speed compare to Guan Yi's Grand Fleet.

On 22 November, the vanguard of the Guan Yi fleet had appeared more than 30 miles upstream of Xiling City. The Soochow fleet, which had been stationed here in advance, was already able to see each other with the naked eye.

At this time, the commander of this Soochow fleet was the son of Sun Shao, the general of Soochow, and the brother of Sun Yi, the current Zongzheng of Soochow, and the leading general Sun Yi. It was also inexplicable to see such a large fleet appear in the upper reaches of this fleet.

Fortunately, Sun Yi is relatively reliable in this generation of the Sun Wu clan. He quickly called his two generals, Liuxi and Zhu Wan, over: "Two, this Shu thief really hasn't changed his thief nature." Now I, Da Wu, and Jin are exhausted from fighting. They want to learn the old trick of the big-eared thief again, and take advantage of our weakness to pick peaches! Hmph, alas, this time it's not a land battle but a water battle. You two will immediately go down and put your fleet in order and make a battle formation. Ben will first go to the fleet of Shu thieves to meet their master. If the Shu thieves insist on going their own way, you must let those mountain monkeys in Yizhou see the power of our Great Wu Water Army! ”

Liushu and Zhu Wan are the distant nephews of Liuzan and Zhu Huan respectively. In the early years, both the Liujia and the Zhu family had a miserable time during Sun Qi's reign. Both of these people were able to survive because of Sun Yi's protection. So when they heard Sun Yi say that they were going to negotiate with the enemy fleet, the two of them bowed down together: "The general has the hope of an army, how can he throw danger lightly?" We are all willing to act on behalf of the general! ”

The affection of the two, Sun Yixin understood. But ......" Sun Yi looked up at the wide Yangtze River: "I, Dawu, met with the Jin State this time, if I fight with the Shu State again...... So, Ben will go in person. The two generals asked not to think that the general would immediately set out in battle formation to block the river. As long as the Shu thief's sailor army dares to enter the range of our army, you can just attack with arrows! Be sure to! ”

"No, I will live up to the general's trust! Take care, General! ”

……

Sun Yi's boat was very light, and at his urging, the soldiers on the boat rowed hard, and soon came to the front of the Shu Han fleet.

After hearing that Sun Yi reported his name, Shu Han's forward troops very politely took Sun Yi to Guan Yi's ship in the rear.

"Da Sima, Wu and Shu were originally allies. Three years ago, when your country was in danger, General Ben and General Hou also led troops thousands of miles to support. Today, Da Sima led so many huge ships to break into the territory of my Great Wu? What is the intention? Betrayal? Lian Jinhu? ”

"Eh, General Sun's words are not right. Originally, I was just here to ask for 100,000 laborers from the Bujia to borrow my Fuxing Society. There is absolutely no idea of starting a war with Soochow. Our Han and Soochow are allies! Why, it's not that we sent troops in Hanzhong to threaten Weixing County of the Jin Kingdom. Where could the Jin army retreat so quickly? ”

"100,000 laborers?!" When Sun Yi looked at Guan Yi and said these words with a smile, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out: "Da Sima, now in Xiling City, where Buyan is sitting, there are only sixty or seventy thousand people who will die, where are the 100,000 laborers?" Da Sima is the pillar of the Shu Dynasty and has a high position. His words and deeds are an example for a country! Please respect yourself! ”

"Huh?! How can this be! Well, it must be scattered all over Xiling and hasn't been collected yet, right? Your country is responsible for this! ”

Sun Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Guan Yi's surprised look that couldn't be faked: "Da Sima, you said that the Bu family borrowed 100,000 laborers from you, is there any evidence?" ”

"Proof? Yes, yes. Come on, pen and ink are waiting. ”

Soon the guards in the cabin brought pen and paper, and Guan Yi wrote an IOU on the spot in the name of Bu Yan under Sun Yi's gaze: "No, General Sun, this is the evidence!" ”

Seeing such a shameless act, Sun Yi couldn't get angry anymore: "Da Sima, has he made up his mind to fight with my Great Wu Destruction Alliance?" ”

"Hehe, this one. Breaking the alliance is definitely not going to happen. As for the engagement? Guan Yi pulled his beard: "When the prime minister of my family died in the past, didn't the emperor of your country also send troops into my country's Badong County. And then the soldiers of the two countries conducted a real maneuver? ”

"Humph! I see! Then there will be nothing left to say. Da Sima, the last general will leave! ”

"Eh, the soldiers are in danger, General Sun is a clan, and it is not good if something happens. Please rest for a while on the officer's ship. ”

Just after Sun Yi was put under house arrest here, the herald over there came over: "Da Sima, the Luo Dudu in front has sent a message." It is said that the Soochow naval army has lined up on the river, blocking the route of our army's advance. Luo Du Governor asked for instructions, and the fleet of the Wu army on the three-mile road entered the range of our army, how to behave, and please ask Da Sima to show me! ”

"Send the order to the Governor of Rodu, and he can do whatever he wants! In short, order him to go down, and I will bear the responsibility! ”

"No!"

As a time-traveler, Guan Yi's knowledge of ancient water warfare comes from later movies and TV series. Therefore, this time he went east along the river, and he handed over the command of the whole army to Luo Xianluo Lingze very interestingly. Although in the historical plane, Luo Xian is not known for his outstanding ability in water warfare. But it's been almost ten years since the bad guy served as Padang. And all the naval armies of Shu Han are basically in Badong.

However, as a traverser, he still added a lot of new guys to Shu Han's naval army.

For example, imitating the equipment on the ancient Roman naval warships, Guan Yi equipped all the Louship-class ships in his fleet with winch small trebuchets.

"Qi Yu Governor, Da Sima once again issued an order, this battle is fully responsible for the Governor, and Da Sima is responsible for anything that happens!"

"Zifeng is so courageous! Did the enemy ships come within range of our troops? ”

"Governor Qiyu, Wu Gou's fleet is still about two miles away from us. You'll be in range in no time! ”

"Well, the wind is good today, northwest wind. The order was given to all the ships to go out and face the enemy horizontally. All trebuchets are equipped with fire oil bombs! ”

"No!"
