In the dark night, there was no water outlet to the sea, and when it was dawn, fog rose again in the bay. There are advantages and disadvantages to fogging, the advantage is that it is difficult for the Qiren Boat Master to find himself, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to find the outlet to the sea at dawn, and it is even more difficult to measure the latitude against the sun. It was only after the morning meal that the fog lifted, but by this time there were already boats on the shore.

February is not the season for fishing, and it is not until March that the small yellow croaker returns to the shallow sea, but the price of millet is high, and the fishermen in the coastal areas have to sail out to sea, and some small fish and shrimp can always be stranded on the beach at low tide, which can be used for food. When the fog was up, the fishermen couldn't see the Yingshi boat that had dropped anchor in the open sea, but once the fog dissipated, a fleet of more than 250 warships appeared on the sea.

The feathers on the warship were swaying, the military flags were lined up, and a halo appeared in the sun. The fishing boats in the shallow sea suddenly panicked, and strangely enough, one of the fishing boats did not avoid it, but came up.

"Who's coming?" Looking at the fishing boats getting closer and closer, the boatman on the big wing closest to the shore shouted. The boat official did not frighten the ragged fishermen on the fishing boat, but no one could understand what he was saying in Donglai language, and it was not until the interpreter specially arranged for this battle in the rear stepped forward that he knew the requirements of the fishermen on the fishing boat.

"The king, the fisherman said: If you can give him three stones of corn, you can lead the whole army into the water." The news reached Xiong Jing's pawn wing warboat, and the other party's request turned out to be like this.

"Three stones of corn?" Xiong Jing was stunned, the requirements of the leading party were too low.

"Yes. The price of millet in Qi rose sharply last month, more than 200 yuan per stone, and there was no food for the soldiers. The messenger continued. Although the pawn can eat enough, he cannot take care of his parents and wives, so there are many people who go into the sea to fish. ”

"If there are many deceitful people, they may not be able to believe it." Jun Sima Zhuang was in the same boat with Xiong Jing without land, and he was very distrustful of the Qi people.

"It doesn't have to be a try." As soon as the fog went to the boat, the boat master began to look for an outlet to the sea, since the Qi people can lead the way, you can try it.

The boatman anchored in the open sea was still waiting, and the large-winged warship in front of him had spread out along the coast, but it was faster than the reconnaissance warship, and the Qi people, who had obtained three stones of corn, did not row far before leading everyone to a river not far away, which he said was the water of the water.

According to the map, the confluence of Shishui and Jianshui into a river that flows into the sea, and the meeting point is about 70 miles away from the coast. If this is a deception by the Qi people, then the whole army will have to row more than 70 miles of unjust road before they can realize that they have been deceived. At this time, the boat that was scouting from the north also came with the news that he had found the entrance to a large river, which was likely to be the water. One of the two rivers must be chosen.

"The king, the fisherman said: The north is Naiji water, not the water." As soon as the military official spoke Donglai, he asked Qi on the fishing boat to tell him.

"The king, the minister thinks that the Qi people are not credible." Zhuang Wudi didn't have a good impression of Qi people, and there was another reason why he was a little taboo. "When the minister heard it, the soldier Sun Wuzi was born in Le'an, north of Judian, if it is ......"

"Why don't you believe it?" Of course, Xiong Jing knew Sun Wu, and Wu Shi's entry into Ying was commanded by Wu Zixu and him. However, in the mirror, he saw that Huang Chengcheng's corn had just been loaded onto the dilapidated fishing boat, and two bare-bottomed children jumped out of the cabin, they grabbed the corn and stuffed it into their mouths, and then a woman who was not dressed dragged the child in, and finally carried all the corn into the cabin.

"Herald: Follow the water on the south side." Xiong Jing made his own judgment.

"Command, follow the water on the south side." No one questioned Xiong Jing's order, and the warships lifted anchor one after another, lowered the sails that had been tightened, and sailed northwest into the water indicated by the fisherman.

At this time, the fishing boat leading the way stopped on the side of the mouth of the water, and the fisherman squatted on the bow of the boat and did not move, and the fishing boat actually smoked from the fishing boat. When Xiong Jing's pawn wing warboat passed, one of the children who had been dragged into it ran to the aft compartment again, chewing corn in his mouth, while watching one warboat after another.

"Throw him a couple of cans." Under the north wind, the child was wearing a tattered kudzu robe, and the crotch *** was facing this side, it was already blackened and constricted, like a broken pottery teapot mouth. Master Yingshi is here to fight Qi, not to help the poor and send warmth, but Xiong Jing still can't bear it in his heart, and at this moment he may be able to understand the reason why Mencius said that 'the people are precious'.

"The king gives meat." The Chu pawn on the war boat thought that the canned horse meat was given to the fisherman, and after shouting a word, several cans were immediately thrown over, a few fell into the cabin, and two of them bounced a few times and rolled into the sea.

The fisherman didn't understand the Chu language, and he didn't know what was in the can, until he saw the Chu pawn who was getting farther and farther away from him and made a few gestures of smashing the can and eating, so he began to smash the can in disbelief. The can was not easy to smash, and the fisherman finally took a stone to break the can. Although the canned food is not heated, once it is smashed, the meat is full of aroma.

"Tell the king, this is indeed the water." The first leading warship unexpectedly came with the news.

"Why?" Xiong Jing was puzzled, he thought that it would take at least three hours to determine whether the piece under his feet was a stream of water.

"I know that the Hou spy has boarded the boat." The boat team stretched for six miles, and each other could only use the flag language to convey simple messages, but there was no doubt that the Hou spy who knew that the other company had responded to the boat boarded. This greatly relieved the feathers on the Pawn Wing Warship, and none of them dared to speak out at sea, because it was a world they had never understood, but on land, they regained their self-confidence.

"The minister is guilty of capital crimes, please punish the king." Half an hour later, Hou Spy was sent over by Qianzhou, and he leaned down and bowed, sincerely afraid.

"Why the delay?" Hou Spy failed to light a fire on the beach as promised, delayed for a few hours, and made the whole army arrive at Linzi City until the evening, Xiong Jing was naturally unhappy.

"After entering the giant lake, I can't distinguish the waterway, so it is delayed." Hou Spy bowed his head and explained the reason for the delay.

Judian is in the south of the confluence of Shishui and Shuishui, which is more than ten miles wide from north to south and 30 miles long from east to west, showing a southwest-northeast direction. The water is injected into the giant lake and flows out of the giant lake. However, in addition to the water, there are also Yao water, water and foreign water that also flow into and out of the giant lake. It is not incomprehensible that the delay caused by the lack of identification of the river course in Judian is not incomprehensible.

"How is Qi Guo?" Xiong Jing did not say that he would punish the crime, nor did he say that he would not punish the crime, but asked about the situation in Qi State.

"The minister heard that the death of Gao Tang had been sent to Muling, but the 100,000 halberd-wielding men in Linzi had not moved." Hou said. "Linzi also ordered each city to offer chariots and vest shields, but the price of chariots and vests and shields rose, and all the towns were displeased, singing: 'Praise, its own? Bud, its return to the king of Chu! ’”

"Oh?!" Xiong Jing had never heard the ballad before, but the meaning contained in it surprised him greatly.

"Qi people can't be commoners, I will win this battle." Zhuang Wudi said loudly. "The fisherman's guidance is a proof of this, and the minister is wrong."

"Please order the knights to tell the Qi people: The Chu army will not harm the Qi people, but only win after the punishment." Zhuang Wu said, and the accompanying strategist admonished.

As staff officers, Zhuang Wudi and the wings of the Ying Division have a deep understanding of Qi Guo, but it is difficult for their thinking to transcend the shackles of the times and not see the ruling logic of Qi State clearly. Although Xiong Jing doesn't like politics, he has been 'living longer' for more than 2,000 years, and the trick of raising pigs and killing pigs played by Qi has long been known, and only this kind of rule makes the common people of Qi not resist the tyrannical Qin. Now that they have gone deep into the Qi realm, they have finally come to their senses.

"Good." Xiong Jing agreed without hesitation. "Spread the concubine Jing, and ordered the knight to tell the Qi people: 'The Chu army does not harm the Qi people, but only wins after the punishment'"

From the beginning of the boat division entering the water and going up the water, the cavalry of the Ying division had already landed on the shore and reconnoitred along both sides of the water. Although political propaganda is correct and necessary, there is only one city north of Judian, Le'an. At this moment, the fishing boat that fled back from the coast had already spread the news of 'there is an army on the sea' to Le'an, and Sun Hao, the doctor of Yi, didn't believe it when he heard it, but the three of them became tigers, and it was not one person who saw a large army on the sea.

"It must be the Chu army!" His younger brother Sun Yi didn't think about it and concluded that it was Chu Jun.

"The boats are all in the mountains, and the winter waves are turbulent, why are the Chu people here?" Sun Hao still couldn't believe it, he felt that the Chu army had fallen from the sky, otherwise it would be impossible for him to suddenly appear here.

"Chu and the more, the more people are good at boats, and the more they cross the sea and hit me, it is no different." Sun Yidao. "I should close the city gate as soon as possible, please Linzi for help."

"Report ——!" The length of Le'anyi is less than three miles, the width is less than two miles, and the height of the city is no more than two feet and four feet. The shouts outside the city were heard clearly inside the city. It's right to close the city gate, but it's too late to ask Linzi to save you, because the Chu Junzhou division has already appeared in Le Chengyi's line of sight.

"Drumming! Ascend to the city. Although the Yi is small, it can't open the door to offer the city, and the Yi doctor Sun Hao no longer hesitated when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the Yi soldiers to beat the drum to prepare for war. However, at this time, the cavalry of the Chu army had arrived outside the city, and under the hasty gaze of the Yi soldiers, the knight shouted: "I am told by the order of the king: the Chu army will not harm the Qi people, but only the victory." ”

"Lord Lord, Chu people say: Don't harm Qi people, only punish the aftermath." When Sun Hao landed in the city, a company commander who heard the most clearly hurriedly told him, but at this time, Sun Hao's eyes had been taken by Chu Junzhou's division, and he didn't hear what he was saying at all.

By this time, the sun had risen very high, and the bare land on both sides of the water was endless, and the water flowing into the sea in the east divided it, and the surface of the water shone with sparkling waves, slightly dazzling. The warships of the Chu army sailed on this sparkling water, and the fleet stretched for six or seven miles, and each warship stretched out densely packed with long pulp to both sides. In addition to the pulp, you can see the huge sails and towering flags, the armor soldiers waiting on the deck, and the horses in the stables.

The boat traveled very fast, Sun Hao only looked at it for a quarter of an hour, and then felt that the boat team had advanced for several miles, and the flag that was originally a little vague was now finally seen clearly, it was a three-headed wind painted on the silk.

"King Chu?! It's the King of Chu! Thanks to the spread of Da Chu news, Sun Hao instantly understood who the person in red was.

"The lord, the words of the Chu people, do not harm the Qi people, only punish the victory." The company commander on his side told him again. There are countless Chu people and boat divisions under the city, and Le'an, which is defended by more than 500 Yi soldiers, can't hold it at all.
