Zhenyang City, many young people are digging trenches outside the city, on the city wall, there are also young people repairing the rammed earth wall under the supervision of the soldiers, and in the city, a counterweight trebuchet is rising from the ground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Beiyu broke through the Da Yuling, occupied the county of Anyuan County, Dongheng Prefecture, and soon after, took a boat down the Hengpu River to attack the Qujiang River in Donghengzhou Prefecture, and the official army retreated to Zhenyang in the lower reaches of the Qujiang River, and defended the city with the reinforcements from all over the country, resisting the wolf-like army of the Beiyu.

In the backyard room of the Zhenyang Government Office, the doctor was changing the dressing for the Metropolitan Governor Wang Meng, first removing the gauze stained red with blood, carefully wiping off the herbs that had been applied before, and then wiping the wound with a clean cloth.

The wounds were shocking, there were knife wounds and arrow wounds, fortunately they were all flesh wounds, otherwise at Wang Meng's age, even if he survived, he would be greatly injured.

"What are you doing? Dressing. ”

"Yes, Grand Duke."

The doctor didn't dare to slack off, he could listen to the words of the official who had the power of life and death, and the speed of changing the medicine was much faster.

Wang Meng, who was lying on the couch, endured the pain on his back, and looked straight ahead with his eyes, but he was thinking about the current war in his heart.

The situation is not good, the Zhou army is menacing, and the degree of its bravery and good fighting is far beyond Wang Meng's expectations, he did not expect that the other party is good at mountain warfare, water warfare, and cavalry warfare at the same time.

It is often said that northerners are good at horseback riding, and southerners are good at boating, but what is the result?

The Zhou soldiers who went south this time were said to be mainly Huangzhou soldiers, so they had a variety of combat skills at the same time, and Wang Meng finally knew why Jiangzhou fell in a month.

Yu Wenwen, the commander of the Zhou army, during his tenure as the governor of Huangzhou, trained the naval army to beat the Chen Guoshui army, so the Zhou army was able to quickly break through the river defense and attack the Jiangzhou Prefecture, and a series of battles at the southern foot of the Dayu Mountains proved the fact that the opponent's soldiers were strong and strong.

In the first battle, Wang Meng personally led a thousand cavalry to meet the battle, but was defeated by more than 100 cavalry of the Zhou army, he almost died on the spot, and he escaped with his life thanks to the efforts of his subordinates to save him, but he was hit by several armor-piercing arrows on his body, which stained his robe with blood.

The Zhou army destroyed the Wuji Village with a water attack, and then broke through the Dayu Ridge, and then captured the Chen Army Dazhai on the bank of the Hengpu River, and occupied Shixing City.

Wang Meng's initial confidence had disappeared without a trace with the fall of Shixing, and he originally wanted to use Qujiang City to resist the Zhou army, but the other party built many ships and went down the Hengpu River to the outside of Qujiang City.

He led the defenders to fight back, but Qujiang was still lost, and Wang Meng, who was supervising the battle at the head of the city, was almost hacked to death by the Zhou army who came up.

Thinking of this, Wang Meng couldn't help clenching his fists, these battles were too bad, but he refused to admit defeat, although the officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses, they still had the strength to fight.

Lingnan is not only the official army, so it must be defended no matter what!

After changing the medicine, Wang Meng got up and walked back and forth in the room to stretch his muscles, and after a while, footsteps sounded, and it was his son Wang Yi who came to wait for his life.

Wang Meng picked up a letter from the bookcase and handed it to his son: "You take this letter and rush to Gaoliang immediately, and ask Mrs. Tai to preside over the overall situation!" ”

"Yes, Father!"

Wang Yi was just about to go out, when a subordinate general ran in: "Governor Dadu, Duke An Jing is here!" ”

。。。。。。

Chen Fozhi, the new assassin of Xihengzhou and the prince of Anjing County, stopped on the official road outside the city, and looked at Zhenyang in front of him with interest, this city is busy preparing for war, but I don't know if it can withstand the Zhou army that has won the battle.

Seeing that the Zhou army was approaching the Great Yuling, Wang Meng, the military governor of the 24 states in Lingnan, appointed Chen Boxin's predecessor, Chen Fozhi, as the assassin of Xihengzhou, and led the troops to reinforce Donghengzhou.

It was only a few years since Chen Fozhi stepped down from the history of Xihengzhou, but before he could revisit his hometown, because the northern captives occupied the Qujiang River in Donghengzhou Prefecture, Chen Fozhi, who came to take office with his troops, became a reinforcement of Zhenyang.

There are also 2,000 Xijiang soldiers in the same company, and Chen Fozhi's appearance will be like a timely rain, so that the precarious battle situation has hope of saving, after all, the name of the Chen family in Luzhou is a reassuring pill for the defenders of Zhenyang.

Chen Fozhi was born in the Chen clan of Luzhou, and the Chen clan of Luzhou is not a local clan in Lingnan, originally a well-dressed clan in the Central Plains, in order to escape the war into Lingnan, settled in the land of slang bureaucrats, and became a wealthy family in Lingnan over time.

The children of the Chen family in Luzhou are all over Lingnan as officials, although they are Han people, they are quite supported by the local slang and bureaucrats, and they have become one of the prominent clans in Lingnan.

After the establishment of the Chen State, the power of the Chen clan in Luzhou became bigger and bigger, and many nameless and nameless slang and bureaucrats changed their surnames to Chen, making the Xijiang area of Lingnan become the world of the Chen clan in Luzhou, and the Xijiang soldiers were famous strong soldiers in Lingnan.

As the head of the Chen family, Chen Fozhi represents the interests of many chieftains and cave owners in Xijiang, although the government is wary of him on weekdays, but now is a critical moment, Chen Fozhi does not want to let the northern captives act in Lingnan and harm everyone's interests.

Therefore, the 2,000 soldiers he brought were only the vanguard, and there were Xijiang soldiers to reinforce Zhenyang in the future, and the chieftains and cave masters in various places must have received orders from Wang Meng, the governor of the capital, on the way to Zhenyang.

Several horsemen galloped out of the city to meet Chen Fozhi: "An Jinggong, please enter the city." ”

"Where's the Grand Duke?"

"The Metropolitan Governor is discussing matters in the official office, and he will lead An Jinggong into the city at the end of his life."

"What about the North Captives? Where is it now? ”

"Still in Qujiang City, the sentinel has not found any movement of the other party going south."

"Okay, enter the city!"

。。。。。。

On the sea, the north wind was cold, and the three sea ships sailed sideways, heading towards the west to break the waves, Zhang Yu held a clairvoyant mirror, looked at the coastline looming in his field of vision, and ordered the ships to keep course.

Zhang Yu is now opening up a "winter route", leaving the port from the Waguo Hakata and returning to the Yangtze River estuary in the Central Plains across the Heishui Ocean.

This is not a joke, once the course deviates, after a few days, the sea ship is very likely to run to the Fengzhou area of Chen State, what should I do then?

"Everyone, if a suspicious ship approaches, assume that they are pirates!"

"Okay!"

The crew began to get busy, they stayed in the country for several months, although they could not return to Xiyang before the first day, but they were finally able to go home and reunite with their relatives, and now they have safely crossed the Heishui Ocean and are about to enter the Yangtze River, but be careful not to harm the lives of the pirates.

Zhang Yu put away the clairvoyant mirror and instructed his subordinates to prepare in order to deal with the inspection of Chen Guo's warship of the river patrol sailor, as long as he entered the Yangtze River smoothly, be careful along the way, and the full ship of goods could be transported back to Xiyang safely.

A few months ago, they set off from Xiyang again, crossing the sea with all kinds of rare treasures to Hakata, where they stayed for several months in order to wait for the goods to be prepared by the Wakoku side.

The dedicated wharf in Hakata Port has begun to take shape, and now it's time to go home and return to the lord.

Zhang Yu, the lieutenant of Xiyang Wangfu, is now in charge of himself, and braves the wind and waves for the Xiyang King to open up sea trade routes, he and his subordinates are not idle in the days of Hakata, and from time to time go to sea to explore the sea conditions around Hakata, and draw many drawings waiting to go back and report to Lord Lang.

The crew members who were in charge of guarding the surrounding area discovered the abnormal situation through the clairvoyant mirror: "Lieutenant Zhang! There is a flotilla in the north-west! ”

"Fleet?"

Zhang Yu picked up the clairvoyant mirror and observed, and after a while, his face became solemn: countless sail shadows appeared on the coastline, and a large fleet of ships was heading south by the north wind.

"Lieutenant Zhang, what's going on with this fleet?"

"It's... The warships of the officers and soldiers! Zhang Yu made a judgment, and then he ordered without hesitation: "Turn around immediately and go back to Hakata!" ”

"Back to Hakata? Why? ”

The crew was a little incredulous, everyone finally crossed the sea safely and came back, seeing that they were about to enter the Yangtze River but had to turn back, and now that the north wind was blowing, they wanted to go to Hakata in the northeast direction, and it would be very laborious to sail against the wind.

Zhang Yu has followed Yuwenwen for many years, and his horizons and knowledge have broadened a lot, and the explanation he made made everyone stunned.

"This must be the official and military warships of Qingzhou, taking the sea route south into the Yangtze River, think about it, if it weren't for the official army to move troops against Chen Guo, what would they do in the Yangtze River?"

"The imperial court must have sent troops to attack Chen State, the Yangtze River line will definitely be completely blocked, if we enter the Yangtze River now, we will not be able to go back at all!"
