Ye Chen led Ji Ling's army south, while Hutou quietly entered the Yangtze River.

"General Hutou, this Yangtze River is really good, along the way, there are so many merchant ships, and they are full of goods, I thought it was in our Liaodong." Zhang Yi looked at the busyness of the Yangtze River and couldn't help but say.

"Hehe, you don't understand this, although these ships are not from our Liaodong, but there are a lot of our Liaodong goods on board, and as long as they can carry hundreds of tons, it must be a ship made by us in Liaodong." Tiger Head said proudly.

"That's right, all this is the credit of our lord, and our lord is really great." Zhang Yi said.

"Okay, let's find a place to stop during the day and move fast at night."

Although he had disguised himself as a merchant ship, the tiger head did not want to attract the attention of others, so he led his army day and night.

Along the way, they passed by many ships, including Yuan Jun's patrol boats, but they did not dare to go on board to inspect and let them go directly.

Sneaking all the way, Tiger Head led the army to Hongze Lake.

"This is already Hongze Lake, just find a place to hide, and wait for the navy behind us to join us before acting."

The tiger head is separated from the water army, otherwise the target is too big, and no matter how disguised it is, it will inevitably attract the attention of others.

The tiger head took the opportunity to find a place for the soldiers to rest for two days, before sailing at sea for too long, and then entered the Yangtze River, preparing for a sneak attack, so the soldiers were more tired.

The environment inside Hongze Lake is complicated, and after their group enters, it looks very inconspicuous, and it is very easy to find a place to hide.

After hiding for two days, the navy army behind also caught up, and the tiger head also let them rest for a day.

After the rest, Tiger Head continued with the fleet.

The tiger head was in front of them, and the navy set out half a day late, meeting them in the back, and at the same time opening the way for them when they returned.

Entering the tributaries of the Yangtze River, the water is significantly smaller, but it is still no problem to sail a fleet.

At this time, Yuan Shu was still studying with his staff on Sun Ce's water army.

"Lord, this Sun family has a foundation in the Jiangdong region, we should not directly bring people back with boats, and we should give some compensation appropriately." Yang Hong said.

"Hmph, his father Sun Jian has to listen to me in front of me, let him hand over the navy, what else does he dare to do?" Yuan Shu said angrily, he was not angry with Sun Ce, but Ye Chen's attack in the past twenty days.

Although the loss of the attack was not large, but the face was lost, so Yuan Shu was very annoyed and extremely annoyed.

"Lord, this time is different from the past, we still need the support of the major families in Yangzhou, such a forcible seizure, I am afraid it will scare the major families in Yangzhou." Yang Hong persuaded hard.

"That's it, just give Sun Ce's kid a little benefit, then what benefit should be given to him?" Yuan Shu asked.

"Just give a county guard and a general name, the Sun family has a grudge against Liu Biao, and we also have a big enmity with Liu Biao, so that Sun Ce has some soldiers and horses for us to drive, just like Sun Jian was driven by us back then." Yang Hong said.

"Okay, just do it, you can do it, you have to do it quickly, the navy must be trained as soon as possible, and then sent to the Yangtze River to collect taxes."

The biggest motivation for Yuan Shu's training of the navy is to collect taxes, and on the Yangtze River, there are now a lot of merchant ships coming and going, which has long made him red-eyed.

What Yuan Shu didn't know was that when he was still preparing for the navy, the tiger head and the navy were already approaching Shouchun.

No one along the road even doubted.

"General Hutou, we are already close to Shouchun, but this river is a few miles away from Shouchun City, and we are making a big noise here, and we can't scare Yuan Shu." Zhang Yi said with a sigh on the boat.

"Yes, who is afraid of it a few miles away, if you want to fight, you will hit Shouchun City and scare Yuan Shu." The tiger head was also quite distressed and didn't know what to do.

"General Tiger Head, why don't we get off the boat, and then ambush and wait for the opportunity to do a vote." Zhang Yi suggested.

"I want to, too, but we went deep behind enemy lines, and the lord ordered us to disembark." Tiger Head said with a bitter face, when he arrived outside Shouchun City, he couldn't act, and Tiger Head really couldn't stand it.

Zhang Yi said again: "General, let's not attack Shouchun, Shouchun is Yuan Shu's lair, you don't have to think about it to know that the defense is strong, our three thousand people used to deliver food, but if we ambush outside Shouchun City, we will attack after waiting for people to come out, we will be successful, if Yuan Shu receives the news, he will be shocked." ”

"Okay, let's do it." The tiger head laughed and said: "Zhang Yi, the lord asked you to look at me, but I didn't expect you to be bolder than me, and I did it, so I did it." ”

"General Tiger Head, the lord asked us to scare Yuan Shu, we can't withdraw without scaring us." Zhang Yi said.

"Haha"

After the two discussed, they began to act.

The army quietly went ashore and did not attract the attention of others.

This is Shouchun City, which is the hinterland of Yuan Shu.

No one expected that an enemy army would sneak up on the city.

"Zhang Yi, we have been in ambush for a long time, and we don't even have a big fish. Ambush for another half a day, if not, just make a random vote and then withdraw quickly, you can't stay too long. "Although the tiger head is bold, he is not a reckless person.

"General Tiger Head, this is the official road outside Shouchun City, there must be big fish." Zhang Yi said affirmatively.

This place is only more than five miles away from Shouchun City, very close, and there are often large teams coming and going, so Zhang Yi judged that he would definitely be able to catch big fish.

I waited more than an hour.

"General, a team of 1,000 soldiers and thousands of people came out of Shouchun City, it seems that they are escorting grain and grass." The scout came back and reported.

"Hey, grain and grass." Zhang Yi clenched his fists and said: "General Hutou, we robbed them of their grain and grass, and then burned them all, when the time comes, the fire will soar to the sky, and Shouchun City will inevitably shake." ”

"Yes, that's right, they burned their grain and grass, don't be shocked if you don't believe in Yuan Shu." Tiger Head immediately agreed to Zhang Yi's proposal.

The 3,000 personal guard battalions, under the leadership of the tiger head, quietly ambushed on both sides of the official road.

And Yuan Shu's army came slowly, they did not send scouts, and the generals who escorted the grain and grass only let the soldiers take care of the people.

This is not to blame them, because this is Shouchun City, and there is no war here, so it is normal for them to be defenseless.

No one would think that in the hinterland of Yangzhou, an army would sneak under Yuan Shu's eyes.

"Zhang Yi, you take a thousand people to cut off their back road, you can't let them go back so quickly to report the news, I will lead people to kill those soldiers who escort grain and grass." As the team approached, Tiger Head began to set up tasks.

"Okay." Zhang Yi responded and quietly set off with the army.

Soon Yuan Shu's army appeared with a cart of grain and grass, and the tiger head squinted slightly, revealing an excited look.
