The cold wind, the stormy waves in the Yangtze River, thousands of warships riding the wind and waves, Han Zhitong and five people, standing on the deck,

The river wind blew, and on the five generals, the cloaks floated, swayed, hunted, and the armor clicked softly, as if a loud war song was played.

The five generals who came into contact for the first time did not seem to be happy in their expressions, and their faces were gloomy and weather-beaten cheeks, and there was a bit of anger in them, and everyone had their own thoughts.

This time to cross the river and fight north, it is related to the life and death of the five countries, especially the four countries of Wuyue, Cai and Shu!

This victory, the momentum of the Yan army to the south was cut off, and the four countries had several years of respite, if defeated, Wu Yue Cai Shu, not only encountered the pressure exerted by the northern Yan State, but also the Chu State in the south, fearing that they would also take the initiative to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the four countries fell into the north and south.

Therefore, Han Zhitong could despise the Yan army, but they did not dare to despise it, after all, the situation of the Four Kingdoms and the Chu State was different.

However, the two sides quarreled endlessly, but instead of reaching a consensus, on the contrary, in the incentive dispute, some bad things about Chen Guzi were mentioned, which deepened the estrangement between them in disguise.

Before stepping into the territory of Yan State, the vigorous Five Kingdoms cut down Yan, and a crack faintly appeared.

In the past two days, the five generals rarely met, and each stayed in his own warship, secretly pondering, and discussing the next deployment.

On the afternoon of the third day, the army marched from east to west, upstream, and finally reached a place close to the north of the river at dusk.

The water surface of the Yangtze River, sparkling, thousands of warships, going upstream, magnificent, the five-nation coalition army, showing extraordinary indignation. On the deck, many sturdy men, not afraid of the cold, showed half of their arms, held clubs in their hands, and hit the big drum in front of them, the drum rumbled, and broke through the river, as if they were provoking the Yan army in Jiangbei.

Jiangbei.

More than ten miles away from the Yangtze River, Feng Yi, who personally led the troops from Shiyancheng earlier, arrived in Jiangbei and deployed in Jiangbei, quickly deployed according to the topography of Jiangbei, and tens of thousands of cavalry formed a crescent-shaped formation in the Jiangbei Plain.

As for many places close to the Yangtze River, they are swampy areas all year round, and the severity is unbearable, and the coalition forces do not want to cross, if they risk death to cross, it is extremely difficult, not to mention death or injury, and after spending a huge price, there will be no gain.

Therefore, the place where Feng Yi deployed was on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the only way to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, it can be said that it was a very dangerous passage, and he was ready to ambush the southern coalition forces here, kill the opponent's majesty first, and combat their arrogance.

Completely dispel the opponent's plan to attack the hinterland of Jiangbei in one go, as long as the opponent's advance is blocked here, and then, enter a protracted war, slowly consume the strength of the company's army, and always drive it back to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

As a famous general, Feng Yi was arranged by Lin Feng to guard the north bank of the Yangtze River, but it was a pity that Feng Yi was that the Yan army lacked a water division, otherwise after the main force of the coalition army entered the north bank, as long as the water division was sent to take the opportunity to sneak attack the grain and grass camp of the coalition army on the Yangtze River, it would definitely hit the coalition army hard.

However, Feng Yi felt that there were shortcomings in this war, which made it more and more intense, more exciting, and the more tragic and difficult battles could improve his military attainments.

On the surface of the Yangtze River, the wind roared like a beast roaring, and the stormy waves hit the ship's board, making the warship sway back and forth, like a tumbler standing on the sea.

The warship moved forward slowly, and Han Zhitong, who was standing on the deck, was wearing a sharp sword wrapped in a lustful red silk scabbard, and the edge was covered in time, but his body was faintly exposed, revealing a powerful sword aura.

At this moment, he stood at the front of the deck, as if he was not affected by the swaying warship, his sword eyebrows were stiff, and he was full of perseverance and courage in the weather-beaten cheapness, gently brushing his beard, looking at the situation in the north of the river.

In this battle, although he was full of confidence, he still did not dare to take it lightly, after all, for many years, the Jiangbei region, where the power of the Chu State had never extended, was very ignorant of this area

Even if a lot of maps were done with the help of the news sent back by the spies, there were many places where the spies had never gone deep and did not know the specific situation.

For him, this potentially fatal hidden danger will never be allowed to exist.

After pondering for a moment, Han Zhitong turned his head and said sharply to the guards beside him: "Drive the warship to a place close to the Jiangbei region, don't dock!"

Han Zhitong is an important general of the coalition army, his warship, must be the commander's tent, at this moment, his warship moved forward, on the Yangtze River, thousands of warships naturally moved, for a time, hundreds of boats competed for the current, like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, directly attacking the Jiangbei situation.

In fact, Han Zhitong's idea was very simple, but he wanted to get close to Jiangbei and look at the terrain of Jiangbei, and at the same time use a thousand sails to compete to shock the Yan army in Jiangbei, even if the two armies did not fight, they should also shock each other in momentum.

However, when the warships approached the Jiangbei area, Han Zhitong found that there was no defense at all in the Jiangbei area, as if the Yan army was not afraid of them boarding and breaking into the north.

But as a hero who fought in the south and the north, and once made great military achievements, Han Zhitong knew very well in his heart that on the surface, Jiangbei's status was calm, but if Yan Jun was really Wu Jieshao, Wang Zhengwen said so powerfully, this Jiangbei region must be extremely dangerous, and there are endless killing opportunities.

And to be able to make secret deployments in the Jiangbei region without leakage, this person must be a good leader in the army.

If the coalition forces did not hesitate to land recklessly and continued to go deeper, they would definitely be ambushed by the Yan army.

Therefore, when we do not know the specific situation in the north, there must still be troops in the coalition forces who risk landing and going deep into the hinterland of Jiangbei to reconnoiter the specific situation on the ground for the large army.

After pondering for a moment, Han Zhitong quickly turned around and returned to the cabin, preparing to discuss with the generals of the four countries the arrangements for advancing to Jiangbei.

Soon, the generals entered the cabin in a hurry, and when they saw Han Zhitong, they had many doubts in their hearts and were ready to ask each other.

Previously, Han Zhitong did not consult with everyone, and directly drove the warship to the river close to the Jiangbei area, at that time, everyone thought that Han Zhitong was preparing to take it by surprise and launch a direct attack on the Jiangbei area.

Unexpectedly, the other party seems to be just observing the terrain, if this is the case, there is no need for thousands of warships to move together, just secretly, or wait for dark, send a few shrewd spies to directly infiltrate the Jiangbei area to reconnoiter the enemy situation and terrain in Jiangbei.

With such fanfare, it seems that he is afraid that the Yan army in Jiangbei will not know, not to mention the strength of the coalition army, which will also be exposed under the grim nose.

What's more, although Han Zhitong is the commander of the coalition army and controls 600,000 coalition troops, the coalition army is a coalition army after all, with its own generals and strategists.

After all, everyone is also a figure with a head and a face, and they were directly ignored by Han Zhitong strongly, and they didn't discuss with everyone in case of trouble, as if the coalition army had become a family of Chu State.

At this time, after Zhang Yuting, the general of the Yue Kingdom, sat down, he took the lead in a vigorous and indignant inquiry, and said: "General Han, it is too domineering to do things, the alliance of the five countries, waving the army to the north, are all for revenge and heavy damage to the Yan State, to prevent the other party from extending its power to the south bank of the Yangtze River, threatening the survival of the princes, however, General Han has taken action, it should be discussed with everyone, not to assert the rules, make his own opinions, this time the whole army is thundering, thousands of warships are close to Jiangbei, it is very likely to be exposed under the nose of the Yan army, and the coalition forces will have no secrets to speak of for it." Doesn't the general think it's terrible to do this? ”

Zhang Yuting has been dissatisfied with Han Zhitong for a long time, not to mention the mortal enmity between Chu and Yue back then, just before, Han Zhitong's denigration of everyone seemed too arrogant.

However, Han Zhitong smiled and said: "General Zhang, you must not be angry and bring the old grievances between Chu and Yue to the cabin, otherwise, if the generals are not in harmony, it will easily cause civil strife, causing the coalition army to become a plate of scattered sand, which happens to be used by the Yan army."

At that time, the Yan army was very likely to take the opportunity to defeat the coalition army and extend its power to the south bank of the Yangtze River, so that the southern vassal states would face life and death. ”

Han Zhitong didn't explain, his approach never needed to be explained like anyone, even if Emperor Xiong Wu of Chu, he would not explain his thoughts thoroughly.

At this time, on the contrary, he hit a rake, and the meaning in the words could not be more obvious, if Zhang Yuting continued to oppose him, causing an accident in the coalition forces, Zhang Yuting would be fully responsible for all the crimes, and he would simply use the means of killing people with a soft knife to the fullest

Seeing that Zhang Yuting opened his mouth and was detained by Han Zhitong, he almost had to carry the black pot, and next to him, Wang Zhengwen, a general from Wu State, hurriedly said: "General Zhang, everyone gathered in the cabin today, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops arrived in the Jiangbei region, it is definitely not for bickering, or to hear what good deployment General Han has, after all, I heard that the main force of the Yan army has not yet gone south, if I win in the hinterland of Jiangbei before the other party arrives, the five countries will have a good omen for cutting Yan." ‘

Wang Zhengwen didn't want the coalition forces to spend months gathering on the Yangtze River, and when they were about to arrive in the hinterland of Yan Kingdom, they hid in the cabin like a group of rats.

After all, in the battle of Shiyan City, the Wu State lost more than 100,000 troops, if it does not take revenge and let the Yan State continue to be strong, it will be a more terrible disaster than a blizzard for the Wu State and the vassal states in the Jiangnan region.

"General Zhang, don't dwell on the past, the current overall situation is important!" Wen Zhiming urged

Everyone spends their minds and risks to be implicated, and it is definitely not to see the two quarreling.

Zhang Yuting snorted lightly, if Han Zhitong didn't have good suggestions, he felt that it was necessary for everyone to form a new power core and discuss the military together, rather than Han Zhitong being arbitrary.

Hearing this, Han Zhitong's vicissitudes of life showed a confident smile on his cheeks, stretched out his hand to brush his beard, and said: "The land north of the river is a strange land for everyone, if you want to go deeper, you must send people to reconnoiter in detail, and then make plans, the coalition forces look for opportunities to directly enter the north bank, otherwise, many places have not yet been understood, and it is not conducive to the northern expedition of the army by recklessness." ”

After expressing his inner thoughts, Han Zhitong stopped speaking, and a pair of deep eagle eyes swept sharply over Zhang Yuting, Wang Zhengwen, Wu Jieshao, and Wen Zhiming, and the meaning was self-evident.

Hearing this, the four of them probably understood that Zhang Yuting had no words, he knew very well that sneaking into Jiangbei, reconnoitering the terrain, and reconnoitring the defense of the Yan army was not a good errand, and there was no difference between it and the reckless advance of the army.

Wang Zhengwen lowered his head, as if he was pondering, and as if he was dodging, he always felt that there was a trace of cunning and ill will in Han Zhitong's thoughts.

The Five Nations Alliance Attack Yan, everyone should unite and unite as one, but behind the Five Kingdoms Attack Yan, there is still a lot of competition between countries, and the other side must have the idea of secretly weakening the strength of the four countries.

This army has not yet stepped into the Yan Kingdom, and Han Zhitong seems to be ready to set a trap for everyone to weaken the power of Wu Yue and Cai Shu.

After all, although the state of Chu was strong, it had not reached the strength to annex the four kingdoms of Wuyue, Cai and Shu, and by doing so, he seemed to be creating an opportunity for the state of Chu.

Wen Zhiming and Wu Jieshao also probably guessed Han Zhitong's thoughts, and the two of them did not say anything, nor did they express their position, sitting in the soft couch, sipping tea with peace of mind, and they didn't seem to have much interest in the Five Kingdoms Cutting Yan.

Seeing that the four generals did not cooperate, Han Zhitong looked serious, and simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "The army is about to arrive in Jiangbei, don't you have any ideas?"

If Zhang Yuting and Wang Zhengwen do not support and cooperate with him, it will be very easy for the coalition forces to attack the north bank of the Yangtze River, but it will be very difficult to penetrate deep into the hinterland.

At this time, Wen Zhiming pondered, and said to Han Zhitong: "General Han, the five countries are fighting Yan, and the general will unite the five countries to act at the same time, but on specific issues, I think that the remaining four countries should be deployed according to the actual situation, the matter of Jiangbei, tonight, I will send people ashore to ask for a detailed topographic map to the Shu spies in the Jiangbei region, and it is not a problem to understand the terrain of Jiangbei, but after landing, everyone still relies on their own skills to conquer the city, if they encounter a solid barrier, everyone can unite with each other, after all, the troops of the five countries suddenly broke into Jiangbei, attacking from all different directions will make the Yan army powerless. ”

Among the five countries, whether it is Wu Yue or Chu Cai, the understanding of the north is not up to the level of understanding of Shu, not to mention that Shu has territory in the Jiangbei region, just for many years the Shu army has accumulated a lot of information on the reconnaissance of Zheng on the western front, and now, to obtain the terrain of the eastern front, I am afraid that the days before the battle, the Shu army in Jiangbei has completed reconnaissance.

"Well, General Wen's suggestion is good, if the coalition forces gather, it will indeed cause a lot of pressure on the Yan army in terms of momentum, but in the offensive and defensive, there is no division of troops to capture, which is more effective!" Zhang Yuting supported Wang Zhengwen's suggestion, he didn't want to be with Han Zhitong, so as not to be secretly designed by the other party to harm and deliberately consume the strength of the Yue State on the battlefield.

"I agree with General Han's suggestion, the division of troops can easily make the Yan army weak, and you can take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, but it is also easy for the Yan army to seize the handle, concentrate superior forces, and eliminate one of the parties, at that time, the casualties caused are by no means a single soldier, but a legion or even more legions, which will make the five countries attack Yan and quickly go bankrupt."
