Jiangzhou, the water mist on the river near the mouth of the state is shrouded, the sun is setting, many fishing boats are collecting their nets, the fishermen are about to end the day's work and rest on the shore, there is a home on the shore to go home, and there is no home to spend the night on the boat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some fishermen looked at Sangluozhou not far away, in previous years, those fishermen who had no home on the shore could drive a boat to Sangluozhou to spend the night, but now it is not possible, because the water village of the official army is standing in Sangluozhou, and idle people are not allowed to enter.

The scale of the water village is large, most of the main warships of the Chen army in Jiangzhou are moored here, in order to guard against the Zhou army in the upstream Qikou, as an important place for river defense, Jiangzhou Prefecture Zhihuankou and Sangluozhou on the river together become the barrier of Jiankang downstream.

In order to ensure that the river defense is foolproof, and to ensure the safety of the border of Chen State on the north bank, Chen Guo mobilized a large number of manpower and material resources to build a water village in Sangluozhou, trying to build Sangluzhou into a river defense lock key like Wuzhou in the lower reaches of Zhou's Bakou.

Sangluozhou, hundreds of years have had countless large and small water wars, for the soldiers must fight for the place, far away in the late Han Dynasty Three Kingdoms, the Zhou governor of Wu State set up camp in Sangluozhou to train the water army, since then, the waters near Sangluokzhou have repeatedly broken out water wars.

After the Yongjia Rebellion, the southern dynasties crossed to the south, relying on the Yangtze River defense line, the Southern Dynasties resisted the Northern Dynasty armies that invaded from time to time, and Jiangzhou was an important part of the Yangtze River defense line.

Today's Chen State has lost Yingzhou, and Jiangzhou has become a front-line place to resist the Zhou State water and land army, and after the waterway is cut off, the prefectures and counties in the area of Chen Guoba and Hunan rely on the land passage with Jiangzhou to maintain contact with the imperial court.

Therefore, Chen Guo must not lose Jiangzhou, and while trying his best to maintain Huainan Prefecture, he still transferred a large number of troops to Tunjiangzhou, vowing to protect the Jiangzhou defense.

The horn sounded, it was the naval army camp was ordering the warships to return to the camp, the clippers swimming on the river turned their bows when they heard the sound, and the outermost clippers found a trace of abnormality.

There are a large number of wood chips floating on the surface of the river, floating downstream like duckweed, and it is impossible to have so many wood chips on the river surface under normal circumstances, the only possibility is that the upstream is engaged in large-scale logging and shipbuilding.

Where is upstream? Of course, it is the boundary of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion of the enemy Zhou State, and the purpose of the other party's large-scale shipbuilding is certainly not fishing.

"Come once in a while, aren't you too tired to panic?"

"Who knows, now that the autumn harvest is over, the one-legged bronze man has nothing to do and has begun to scare people again."

"Is his mother-in-law stealing people again? Can't catch the adulterer, and run to scare us when he has nowhere to scare? ”

"Hahahaha!"

"You say, will this guy raise troops this year?"

"Who knows, come here, come to have a good time, put sawdust upstream all day long to scare us, so many sawdust to make a fire!"

Chen Jun soldiers laughed and scolded, it is said that such a situation on the river must be reported to the superior immediately, but Zhou Guo often makes this kind of movement, everyone was nervous at first, and then it became commonplace.

"Hurry up and row the boat, if you go back late, you won't be able to grab food to eat, and the one-legged bronze man will not lose."

The governor of Huangzhou in Zhou is called the one-legged bronze man, which is something that ordinary soldiers of the Chen army in Jiangzhou know, and many of them may not even know the name of the Jiangzhou assassin, but they just know what the name of the governor of the enemy country is.

The one-legged bronze man is the Zhou State Clan, of course, the surname is 'Yuwen', it seems to be called 'Yuwen Leng', 'Yuwen Re' or 'Yuwen Wen', it doesn't matter, but everyone calls it a catchy name.

The one-legged bronze man in Huangzhou, over the years of the invasion of Chen has not stopped, although its name has not yet reached the point of being able to stop children's night crying, but everyone hates it, so from time to time to arrange some stories to entertain.

Especially like to arrange the one-legged bronze man's mother-in-law to steal people, this kind of story is the easiest to liven up the atmosphere, although everyone knows that it is fake, but the pastime will always be happy, just like the curse of the little paper man.

You're powerful, you're fierce, aren't you? We'll curse your mother-in-law for stealing people!

Pastime is pastime, the one-legged bronze man is indeed a tiger, so everyone does not dare to take it lightly, although the other party often puts sawdust upstream to scare people, but the Zhou army warship assembled in Qikou is not paper-paste, and the abnormalities found today still have to be reported to the superiors.

"Hurry back to the camp, we will have dinner in a while."

。。。。。。

In the northern suburbs outside Shouchun City, where the water enters the Huaishui, the sentinels in the Chen military camp are on guard on the watchtower, after the end of the autumn harvest and before the summer comes, it has always been a good season to move troops.

Eight years ago, the Zhou State invaded and snatched away the Huainan that Chen State had recovered from the hands of the Qi State for a few years, and later the Zhou civil strife, Chen State easily took the opportunity to recover the lost territory, pushed the defense line from the north of the Yangtze River to Huaishui, and mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to strengthen the cities everywhere, in order to hold this hard-won land.

The autumn wind blows, the grass and trees on the Bagong Mountain on the east bank of the river are swaying, and from a distance, it looks like there are thousands of troops and horses covering the whole mountain, and the soldiers of the Chen army on the tower have no intention of looking at such a scenery and begin to complain.

"Originally, it was okay, let us go back after September, but it turned out that the military situation was urgent, and the military service would be postponed until the beginning of spring next year, in case the northern captives came again, what should we do?"

"What to do? Keep staying here! It's as if you have land at home waiting to go back to farming! ”

"It's good to have no land, but you can go to the farmland for the big family, and the family will always have to live!"

"What's the use of you yelling at me? I've been a soldier here for a year and a half! I said that I would serve for three months! ”

"And what about your family?"

"What to do? Cold! I have a lot of brothers in my family, so I can help take care of it, my daughter-in-law helps people with needlework, and the younger one helps people with chores with a few cousins. ”

"Alas, when did you say that this day would come to an end..."

"Happiness in the midst of suffering, I want to open it, Shangguan just treats us as servants, or the kind that doesn't need to be paid, twelve months a year, I give you more time to do chores than to take a horn here as a lookout!"

On the watchtower, several soldiers kept complaining, they were all civilians who were conscripted and sent to Huainan to serve in the military, saying that they were serving the country, but they ended up being slaves to the generals and officials most of the time.

Repairing locks, doing carpentry, walking dogs, drinking horses, serving tea and water, etc., in fact, the days in the barracks are pitiful, where there is time to practice, not to mention shooting a bow and arrows, even if you see a dead person, your legs will be scared to the point that your legs will be weak, let alone kill the enemy.

On weekdays, they were slaves, but after autumn, most of them were in the season when the north and the south were criminal, so the officials put them back in the barracks and began to 'serve the country' again.

Anyway, when the official was requisitioned, the officials said that they only needed to serve for three months, and after leaving their hometown, they couldn't help you, and the people couldn't say anything about their suffering, so they could only live honestly.

Someone glanced to the north, and then his face changed: "Beiyu, it's the Beiyu cavalry!" ”

When everyone heard this, they found that the north bank of Huaishui was dusty, and dozens of cavalry were galloping towards the shore.

It seems that it is a scout of the Zhou army, who routinely patrols the shore, which is a very common thing, and Chen Jun's scouts often patrol along the south bank of Huaishui.

"Just dozens of cavalry, what else can you do, can you cross the river and attack the city? Don't be so loud. ”

Seeing that the enemy cavalry was only patrolling, everyone immediately relaxed, and someone asked curiously: "I always hear people say 'rumors', what does this mean?" ”

"Now, do you see that Bagong Mountain?"

Some people began to explain, talking about the battle of Weishui hundreds of years ago, the battlefield was here, and the Qin army that invaded the south in a big way had a million people, while the Jin army that faced it was less than 10,000.

As a result, the Jin army was defeated by the Qin army with fewer enemies, and the rout army rushed wildly, and heard the wind and crane cries along the way, and they all suspected that it was a chasing soldier, so the description of people was suspicious and suspicious of ghosts, and there was a saying of "the wind and the crane".

"Oh... However, don't you think that after the autumn harvest, the cavalry of the Northern Captives came to patrol the shore more and more often? ”

"So what, at this time last year, the Northern Rangers were also patrolling frequently, and they were trying to scare us."

While they were talking, the dust rose again on the north bank, and the sentries looked up, only to find that it was a team under a special banner.

"Huh? It seems that there is still a carriage, could it be the messenger of the northern captives? The same was true of the envoys who had gone south a few months earlier. ”

"Quick, go and report to Shangguan."
