Liu Beihai Road is a straight line, the wind rises and the sail is raised, and the wind stops using wheel pedaling, and he rushes to Yangzhou day and night. The soldiers sat on the boat, and the physical exertion ratio was not large, so to speak, they could fight.

The spies who reported to Yangzhou took the land route, not to mention the investigation all the way, and the road conditions became extremely bad when they left the boundary of Qingzhou. By the time the spies arrived in Yangzhou, Liu Bei had been in the city for many days.

Wuchang City (now Ezhou, Hubei) is adjacent to the riverside, at the beginning, the Yangzhou governance office was built in Wuchang City is the brave Sun Ce planned to compete with Liu Biao for Jingzhou Jiangxia, Sun Ce is known as the "Tiger of Jiangdong", every war first, Wuchang is adjacent to Jiangxia, indicating his expansion psychology.

Subsequently, Sun Quan moved his administrative office to Moling in order to avoid the powerful Cao army occupying Jingzhou, and at the same time intended to seek a breakthrough from Xuzhou. It is a pity that Moling is built near the river, the strategic depth is not enough, once the Cao army crosses the river, the national capital is threatened, in order to protect the safety of the national capital, the powerful Dongwu naval army, and finally retreated around the Moling, doing nothing.

On that day, Sun's naval army was patrolling on the river, and the main target of everyone's defense was the direction of Jiangxia County upstream. A Soochow soldier who went to the stern of the ship to relieve himself suddenly saw 10 strange-looking warships coming from behind. There were huge paddlewheels on both sides of this strange ship, and all the sails were lowered, and the paddlewheels moved forward with the sound of rushing water.

The Sun sailor was so surprised that he forgot to send a warning and watched the strange boat catch up quickly, and the bow of the strange boat flexibly deviated and inserted through the gap between several patrol boats, bringing up a huge wave to force the patrol boat away.

Sun's sailors were flustered and at a loss, and the strange boat inserted into the patrol boat did not show hostility, which made them not know whether to blow the alarm of the enemy attack.

"Warship, this is obviously a warship." Sun's sailor muttered under his breath. In the distance, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, the generals of the navy on the command boat patrolling the river, watched as ten strange ships broke into the Sun army's ship formation, holding drums, and hesitated to make up their minds whether to sound the alarm drum.

"The Qingzhou ship is so flexible to turn the rudder, it must be the use of the rudder, the lord has sent many people to Qingzhou, the secret of the rudder, but unfortunately, the Qingzhou boatman is very strict, so far there is no gain." Xu Sheng said hesitantly as he hung on the drum.

Ding Feng said: "Since it is a Qingzhou ship, it is not easy to provoke trouble, Liu Xuande is extremely vindictive, and he can't tolerate the people being bullied by officials elsewhere. ”

Hearing what Ding Feng said, Xu Sheng immediately put down the drum gently, let out a long breath and said, "Since you say so, then I agree with you, let's not warn first, lean in and ask them where they came from." ”

Ding Feng muttered dissatisfiedly: "When did I say that I would not warn, don't pit me", and then, Ding Feng asked again: "Leaning up, I'm afraid it's not easy, the Qingzhou soldiers use the rudder, the helm cabin is in the bow of the ship, we use a manual tail rudder, it takes time to pass the order from the command tower to the rudder tail, Liu Xuande likes to play Laipi, if the Qingzhou people he taught make a bureau and let us crash into their ship, doesn't that make them make excuses to make trouble?" ”

At this moment, a huge fleet of warships appeared in the sky again, the main sail has fallen, the ship only uses the side sail to move slowly, more than 100 oars stretch out from the side of the huge ship, neatly rowing, the speed of the ship is faster than the wind, faintly, there are bursts of drums, a closer look will find that the oars of the ship are in harmony with the sound of the drum.

Xu Sheng held up a Qingzhou-made monocular, looking for the military flag of this fleet, and suddenly, as if he had been burned by fire, he shook all over, and the telescope fell on the deck.

"It's the big bear, it's the big bear military flag, Liu Bei is here in person."

Ding Feng immediately jumped up: "It's not good, Liu Bei is here to find trouble, the ship lowered the main sail, and only relied on the oars and side sails to move forward, in order to maintain flexibility in the process, quickly, get out of the way of the main channel, notify the dock, and the ships avoided, saving him from finding the stubble." ”

The first ten ships turned their rudders flexibly, and they were deeply embedded in Sun Jun's fleet, using the side of the ship to crash into several patrol boats in a row, clearing the channel for the subsequent galleys, this kind of brutal and domineering behavior attracted Sun Bing to scold one after another, and the loach boat didn't care, and didn't even reply, but the action became more and more rough, and the Sun Bing's boat that was hit began to have minor injuries and soldiers who fell into the water.

The Qingzhou command ship sounded a loud horn, startling countless birds on the river, and later, each ship responded with military horns in turn. Xu Sheng suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ordered: "Is there anyone on the ship who has passed the Qingzhou lieutenant assessment?" Get him quickly. ”

Later, two Sun soldiers were led to Xu Sheng, and in the intermittent sound of the military horn, Xu Sheng asked hurriedly: "Just now, what does the military horn blown by the Xuande Gongzuo ship mean?" What does the trumpet of the ships mean now? ”

The two soldiers glanced at each other, and one of the elders replied at the signal of his companion: "Back to General Xu, our king blows the trumpet and asks all ships to raise their flags to salute their allies. The ships answered in turn, received orders, and immediately raised their flags. ”

Ding Feng paced around the soldier for two steps, and then asked: "It's not simple, your identity is really not simple, I heard that only the people of Izumo and Guangrao call Xuande Gong our king, are you from Izumo or Guangrao?" ”

The soldier replied: "I am a resident of Guangrao Dongliangxiang below", looking at the puzzled eyes of Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, the soldier explained: "In Xiayuan, he is a native of Liaodong, and he crossed the sea to attack Beihai with General Gongsun, and was captured by our king. Because I was still a criminal, my father-in-law asked me to come to Sun Jun to serve and strive for military merits to get rid of my status as a criminal. When he was in Liaodong, he knew a little bit of Braille, and then Mr. Yuezhang invited Mr., and then, after passing the lieutenant assessment, waiting to earn enough military merits, he planned to retire and return to his hometown. ”

Xu Sheng suddenly said: "I said, the original residents of Izumo and Guangrao were all people of the same family, and now that they have met a good master, they are already either rich or expensive, how can they come to my ship to be a soldier?" Turns out you're still a slave. ”

The so-called criminals are slaves in other places, and of course this soldier could not enter Liu Bei's regular army as a slave, so he had to enter Sun Ce's army to serve under the operation of his father-in-law. Most of these soldiers are here to accumulate military merits in order to get rid of their embarrassing identity, so they are particularly fierce when they encounter the enemy, leaving the impression of Qingzhou soldiers fierce and fierce to Sun Jun, sometimes, they even do not hesitate to die with the enemy, get the treatment of death, in exchange for the change of the identity and status of their parents, brothers and sisters, and their families, and because of this, Qingzhou soldiers are promoted extremely quickly in the Sun army, and many generals like to use these soldiers who are fierce to the enemy, humble to the top, strictly abide by military discipline, and are familiar with team fighting skills.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng took the flagship of the river patrol, so they even searched for Qingzhou soldiers on a large scale, and there were even two Qingzhou soldiers on the ship who passed the lieutenant assessment as junior officers, so Xu Sheng heard the military horn and remembered to find someone to identify.

"This, Xuande Gong is so humble, we don't dare to accept his tribute, let me ask you, how to play the tribute signal? You think of a way for us to express our respect for Xuan Degong. ”

The Guangrao soldier shook his head and said: "We don't have a copper horn on our ship, even if we have a copper horn, we can't blow it, raise the flag, three red and two black are arranged alternately, which is a tribute, but there is no triangular signal flag on the ship, it is made temporarily, I am afraid that I dare to ......" The Guangrao soldier stopped his voice and looked at the flags raised by the battleship in turn.

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng followed his gaze and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Liu Bei is here to fight, the flags raised are all different colors, just look at the various flags There are at least three generals on the vanguard fleet, and bringing so many generals to Wuchang will never be a tour of the mountains and rivers.

"Pioneer Major General Huang (Zhong), Pioneer Lieutenant General Zhao (Yun), Pioneer Colonel Xu, Xu what? Haven't you heard of a general surnamed Xu? The Guangrao soldier read the military flag in a low voice, and the other soldier then counted the military flags on the galleys that passed in front of him, and added the general's name after the surname according to his knowledge: "Former military division Lu Su, ah, the commander of the third army is now a military division; Major General of the Guards, Dian Wei, this evil man is also here; Major Chen of the Guards became a major after graduation; Lieutenant Colonel Li Jin of the Guards, it was this person who killed Lu Bu, powerful; Major General Zhou Yu, the commander of the rear army, is a native of Jiangdong, who used to be the commander of the Gushan Army in Bingzhou, and has been a major general for so many years. ”

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng listened to the names one by one with pale faces, and when they heard Zhou Yu's name, they were greatly relieved - Gong Jin is here, and the situation must not be too stiff.

In a blink of an eye, huge ships passed in front of them, and then sails covering the sky and the sun appeared on the river in the distance, this was the Qingzhou caravan that transported supplies and followed Liu Bei south, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng didn't know this, their faces were panicked, and they blurted out: "Troop carriers?" So much? ”

And that's not all, due to the limited throughput capacity of Wuchang Wharf, after Liu Bei's thirty giant ships were filled, there were very few berths left. In addition to the merchant ships transporting ordnance materials, most of the ships remained in Moling, and in the following days, Qingzhou merchant ships still rushed to Wuchang in an endless stream, occupying all the berths, forcing many small ships of Sun's navy to rush to the beach and run aground.

That's not all, many Qingzhou merchant ships stopped at Wuchang Wharf for a while, sailed upstream, sailed to Jingzhou, and sold the full ship of goods to Sun's enemy Liu Biao, which made the good ministers and generals of the Sun clan from Sun Quan to Sun Quan angry.

Under the protection of the army, these Qingzhou merchants carried out armed smuggling without fear, ignoring the ban on the sale of Sun's ordnance as nothing, and directly transported boatloads of fine armor and war equipment to Jingzhou.

Liu Bei didn't know what his merchants were planning to do (deliberately), and he didn't hear the complaints of Sun's navy (pretended), after landing on the shore, he commanded Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Xu Huang to lead light cavalry to the post house, and after blasting out all the guests in the house, Liu Bei swaggered in, patiently waiting for Sun Quan to come and ask to see. The infantry who landed immediately took control of the dock and took over the defense of the north gate near the river.

Suddenly, Liu Bei's soldiers came to the city, at this time, Sun Ce's disadvantages of reusing a large number of Qingzhou soldiers were presented, where Liu Bei passed, from time to time there were some low-level non-commissioned officers and lieutenants who led their subordinates to salute Liu Bei, Sun Quan heard about this scene in the palace, and he wanted to die.

"If I had started earlier and driven all the Qingzhou soldiers back, how could there be today's situation?" Sun Quan roared.

People in the world are like this, always remembering the bad things that others treat them, always forgetting the good that others do to them, and always ignoring their own evil to others. If there were no Qingzhou soldiers charging into battle, how could Sun Ce occupy the entire territory of Yangzhou in such a short period of time.

Under the hall, Jiangdong celebrities gathered together, including Gu Yong, Gu Yuansi, Zhuge Jin, Zhu Ziyu, Bu Qi, Bu Zishan, Zhang Hong, Zhang Zigang, Yan Yan, Yan Mancai, Cheng Bing, Cheng Deshu, Kan Ze, Kan Derun, Xue Zong, Xue Jingwen, Yu Zhuan, Yu Zhongxiang, Lu Ji, Lu Gongji, and so on. It is precisely because of Jiangdong Yingcai that Sun Quan wants to get rid of Liu Bei's influence and shackles and seek his own development. Now, however, the talents he relied on were silent.

Sun Quan was pacing angrily in the hall, suddenly stopped, and asked the person who reported the news: "Say it again, what is he doing now?" ”

The report was Xue Zong, Xue Jingwen, who had a good personal relationship with Lu Fan and Lu Ziheng, and he was kneeling at Sun Quan's hand, kowtowing and saying: "As soon as Xuande Gong entered the post house, he asked Zhou Gongjin to lead the way, saying that he wanted to play chess while waiting for someone. ”

Sun Quan turned to Xue Zong's side and asked, "You saw Gong Jin and didn't say hello to him?" ”

Xue Zong replied: "After saying hello, Gong Jin only nodded slightly, saying that it was inconvenient to talk for a long time on official business, and he would have a party when he had time to turn around." ”

Sun Quan asked: "Can you quietly recruit Gongjin?" Ask things clear. ”

Xue Zong kowtowed again and again and replied: "I was worried about Ziheng's safety, so I followed Gongjin and them all the way to the post house, only to see that the guards were heavily guarded inside, and all the post guards had been driven out, replaced by people around Liu Bei, and the scene in the hall could not be explored at all." As I was leaving, I heard the sound of a piano in the hall, and I speculated that Ziheng was probably talking with Xuande Gongshou (playing Go), and Gongjin was playing the piano on the side. ”

"He's waiting for someone?" , Sun Quan said hatefully: "Wait for me to see him?" When you enter my city, you are still so arrogant, are you not afraid that I will not do anything? ”

Sun Quan paced to Gu Yong's side and asked, "If we don't alarm the Qingzhou soldiers we belong to, how many soldiers and horses can we use in total?" ”
