Weikou is the confluence of the water from the northwest and the Qinshui from the northeast, because the water potential is large, so it is the water into the water, according to the convention its place into the water is called the mouth, and the local people call it Jiangkou Tsui again.

But topographically speaking, the mouth is like the middle of the word "Ya", which is between the mouth of three rivers.

At the mouth of the river, the boat goes northwest along the water to reach the state of Hengzhou, and the state of Xihengzhou is reached; If you sail northeast along Qinshui at the pass of the river, you can reach the Zhiqu River in Donghengzhou Prefecture, of course, you have to pass through Zhenyang City halfway.

Wang Meng, the governor of the 24 prefectures in Lingnan, led the troops to be stationed in Zhenyang City, together with the local slang marshals and cave masters, to resist the Zhou army under the city, and the Weikou, located in the lower reaches of Zhenyang, was an important grain and grass transfer point for the Zhenyang garrison.

The grain collected from Guangzhou and other places downstream was loaded on a boat and traveled all the way north along the Qinshui River, and after arriving at the Chen army camp in Weikou, it could be reached by means of the water to reach Hanwei or to Zhenyang through the Qinshui, and the grain could be supplied to the defenders of the two cities in order to compete with the Zhou army.

No, the Zhou army can't go down with the official army!

Deng Wei was in a good mood thinking of this, and this morning, his brother Wang Meng sent a messenger from Zhenyang to Weikou, bringing a letter and good news: the Zhou army was short of food and grass, and either launched an attack in the near future, or retreated to Qujiang.

How did Wang Meng find out about such an important matter? Deng Wei didn't know, but he knew that his brother didn't need to lie to him, so after receiving this good news, he was really relieved.

Since the defeat of Da Yuling, Chen's army has been defeated and retreated, and it is easy to concentrate on holding Zhenyang, if it can't stop the Zhou army, then Guangzhou will be very dangerous.

Now that the Zhou army is not in supply of food and grass, it is very likely that it will retreat without a fight, and when the day comes, you will have to drink and celebrate, but the question is that the Zhou army will retreat without a fight?

No way!

Ask yourself, if he was the chief general of the Zhou army, it was easy to turn over the Da Yuling soldiers to Zhenyang City, and saw that as long as he took the city, he could go straight down the Qinshui River to the city of Panyu in Guangzhou Prefecture, even if the supply of grain and grass was tight, he would rather fight hard than withdraw the army.

Therefore, Wang Meng instructed his younger brother Deng Wei in the letter to guard the Weikou Village, which is related to the grain road of the Zhenyang garrison, and must not make mistakes in the joints, so as not to let the Zhou army, which is about to run out of food, find a chance to turn the tables.

Chen Jun Weikou Village, divided into north and south two villages, the south village is located in the south bank of the Weikou, also in the west bank of the Qinshui River section of the lower reaches of the Weikou, there are grain wharves next to the village to gather a large number of ships, and the north village located on the north bank of the Weikou is stationed a large number of officers and soldiers, guarding the land of the two rivers.

The two ribs of the north village are the water of the water, the water (west and east) are sandwiched, the south side is the mouth of the three rivers, the north side is the steep mountain of the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, the Zhou army wants to turn the tables, either take Zhenyang City, or sneak attack the grain road of Zhenyang in the village of Zhenyang.

Will Zhou Jun have a chance? No!

Deng Wei firmly believes in this, Wang Meng ordered him to guard the pass, that is, to put a heavy task in the hands of the most trustworthy person, in order to ensure the safety of the pass, Deng Wei has made careful arrangements, if the Zhou army wants to sneak attack, it is impossible.

By Road? The north village of Weikou is backed by Tsui Mountain, and Tsui Mountain is the southern foot of the stretching mountain range, the high mountain is dozens of miles wide and dangerous, maybe a few people can come over the mountain, but if the large-scale team wants to march like this, at least more than half of them will fall to death halfway and be killed by poisonous snakes, insects and ants.

Regardless of these for the time being, to walk from the north foot of the mountain range to the south foothills, there is no road at all, and it will take half a month to slowly cross the mountains and mountains.

Deng Wei has been in the army for many years, is a general who has led soldiers to fight, he knows that under normal circumstances, a soldier carries a maximum of ten days' worth of dry food, this is still the standard when marching on flat ground, over the mountains and mountains is a hard work, soldiers can only carry less food.

The Zhou army really wanted to go over the mountains and attack Beizhai by land, I am afraid that the soldiers sent would have eaten up the dry food on the way, and then because they were lost, they could not advance or retreat, and finally they were trapped and died in the stretching mountains, so this would not work at all.

The only feasible thing is to take the waterway and take a boat to attack the pass by boat from Qinshui, which saves time and effort, but the premise is to break through the waters around Zhenyang, and also break through the Weipu Pass downstream.

Qinshui in Zhenyang before and after the river section, both sides are mountains, is the famous "Zhenyang Gorge", especially after dozens of miles of Zhenyang, both sides of Qinshui are as steep as the wall, when about to reach the pass of the river, there is an ancient pass called Xunpu Pass, it is the only land passage on the bank of Qinshui.

The history of Weipu Pass is long, according to legend, after Zhao Tuo occupied Lingnan at the end of Qin and established the Nanyue Kingdom, in order to prevent the Han army from going south to Panyu, he set up heavy troops in this Weipu Pass, and also pulled up the Hengjiang Iron Cable.

It is said that Zhao Tuo also built a city of 10,000 people here, and the garrison of 10,000 troops was to respond to the Weipu Pass, that is, to keep out the Han army that was very likely to break through the Great Yuling.

However, the Nanyue Kingdom still did not stop the Han army in the end, and Yang Fu, the general of the Lou boat during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, broke through the Great Yuling Ridge and entered the Qinshui by boat through the Hengpu River; In addition, Lu Bode, the general of Fubo, went out of Guiyang County to ride Tianling and go to Weishui, and broke through the Weipu Pass and the city of 10,000 people with Yang Fu left and right.

However, now that the Zhou army has not yet arrived in the Weishui Valley, the Xihengzhou Prefecture is still controlled by the Chen army, so Deng Wei is not worried that the Zhou army can have such a mighty position, since the other party cannot attack the Weikou by water and land, then it can be said that there is peace of mind here.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly, there was no military camp in Xunkou for many years, and there was no city, but there were wharves and water villages on the south bank of Xunkou, and the city of 10,000 people had already turned into a pile of ruins, and the camp on the north bank of Huokou was built temporarily, and it was not good to be surrounded by people.

Standing on the camp fence, he looked at the transshipment dock to the south and signaled the department to approach: "Have you sent more people on the top of the mountain?" ”

"General Hui, fifty people have been sent to Tsui Mountain at noon, and now there are one hundred people on the top of the mountain, and there is no problem."

"Very good, we must strictly guard against the mountaintop and waterways in the past few days, and be careful of the Zhou army sending troops to sneak attack!"

"General, the Zhou army is not a heavenly general, how can they sneak attack Weikou? As long as I wait, even if there are thousands of troops, don't even think about a sneak attack! ”

The generals were full of confidence, Deng Wei was noncommittal, he didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of his subordinates, and he didn't want everyone to relax their vigilance, but he himself felt that there was no flaw in Weikou Village, and it was impossible for Zhou Bing to sneak attack.

The Tsui Mountain in the north of the camp is very steep, although it is not a cliff, but it is very difficult to go back and forth between the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain, he sent troops up the mountain to set up beacons to avoid someone coming over the mountain to sneak attack the camp, but in fact he did not think that the Zhou army could really come.

The beacon on the top of the mountain is mainly used for lookout, where you can see the Qinshui River in the northeast and the Weishui River in the northwest.

The road up the mountain is rugged and difficult, because you can only walk people, so it is very difficult to transport supplies, so it is impossible to have many beacon garrisons on the mountain, and the temporary small village with fifty people stationed is already a little nervous, and the reason why fifty more people are added today is completely just in case.

A hundred people, even in the face of a large number of enemy sneak attacks, can have enough time to light the beacon fire, and it is enough to warn the camp below the mountain in time, after all, if the attacking enemy wants to go down the mountain, it will take half a day.

Thinking of this, Deng Wei looked up at the top of the mountain, although it was impossible for him to see the beacon on the top of the mountain at such a distance, but since he had his own eyes and ears on it, he didn't have to worry about the enemy's sneak attack.

"General, the top of the mountain is definitely not..."

Before the general finished speaking, he saw Deng Wei's face change, and he turned his head to look at the top of the mountain and was stunned: on the top of the mountain, two puffs of smoke were rising, according to the prior agreement, this was the signal that Fengsui was attacked.

"Enemy... Enemy Attack!! ”
