When Yang Xi arrived at Pengze Port, it was already early August, and as soon as he arrived at the port, Qin Fang reported the situation to Yang Xi.

Yang Xi was very depressed, this Lu Kang was too stupid.

"It's just stupid, if there is chaos today, he is still stupidly loyal to the court, and with an edict, he will let this old guy face me with his sword, haven't you suffered hardship?"

Although Lu Kang attacked with the strength of the whole county, Yang Xi was not afraid of him, what he was worried about was that if he transferred troops to meet him, Jiangxia Huangzu and Changsha Zhang Xian would definitely take advantage of the danger of others, and the strength of the Nanjun Sailor would swell greatly.

Yang Xi took out the map and began to analyze the situation.

Huang Zu learned from the defeat and recruited more than 10,000 soldiers and horses at this time.

Zhang Xian's side also brought tens of thousands of armor.

There are only five huge ships and 2,500 people on the Fifty Tatsukawa in the navy here, and there are only 7,000 people in the water force.

As for Pengze Port and Chaisang Port, there are now 2,500 people each in Huazi and Qin Fang.

Counting more than 10,000, in fact, it is divided into three giant ships to lead ten ships each to guard Wuchang Port, Chenhe Port and Fuchi Port.

Then Chaisang's side is stretched.

"It's been too long since you thought I was sick?"

Yang Xi was angry.

He decided to take the initiative.

So, Yang Xi sent a letter to Wang Mastiff, asking him to borrow Wang Mastiff's water division to jointly guard Chai Sang and Peng Ze.

Wang Mastiff ordered Peng Ze's sailor Wang Cang, lead 3,000 sailors, and cooperate with Yang Xi's sailors to guard.

Yang Xi returned to Jiangxia without stopping the ship.

On August 15, all the generals gathered, Cai Kao, Mao Luan, Zu Lang, Tai Shici, and Zhou Tai all gathered in Wuchang County.

This time, the sand table is five meters long, but it is from Changsha County to Chaisang.

Yang Xi planted the small red flag in Xunyang, Lujiang County.

"Lujiang guards Lu Kang too much, 10,000 troops are here, and 5,000 water divisions are transferred, and if you want to cross the Yangtze River south and attack me Chaisang and Peng Ze, what do the generals think?"

Zhou Taixin arrived, but he did not make any contributions, and said: "Gongzi gave me 1,000 soldiers and horses, I will help Gongzi take Anhui County, and Lu Kang will save him." ”

Yang Xi nodded and said, "This is also a good plan, but I don't want to start a war with Lu Kang." Because of the important location of Lu Kang's Lujiang County, it is necessary for it to preserve its strength and resist Yuan Shu, what else can be done. ”

This is difficult, if there is no war, how can people withdraw from the army.

Yang Xi said: "Okay, don't embarrass you, you are all generals, it's okay to lead troops to fight, so let's listen to my arrangement." Zhou Tai, your 2,000 recruits have only been trained for a month, and it is not suitable to go to the battlefield, so they will be stationed in Wuchang County. Tai Shi Ci and Zu Lang, you two led the headquarters, a total of 5,000 people, followed me across the river and directly attacked Huang Zu Xiling. ”

Speaking of this, the generals were stunned, didn't they want to solve the danger of Chaisang, how to attack Jiangxia Xiling, hundreds of miles away.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Yang Xi continued: "Xiling only has 3,000 soldiers, and it is a new soldier, Huang Zu will transfer the troops of Yi County to rescue, Cai Kao will lead the headquarters of 2,000, cut off its back road, and then I will divide my troops to meet the attack, and I will break Di County." Di County is broken, it will cut off the connection between Qichun and Xiling, and I will wave the army to the south, below Yi County, it will be owned by me, and then our army can threaten the hinterland of Lujiang County to the east, and see if he Lu Kang dares to cross the river. ”

Yang Xi moved the chess pieces on the sand table, and all the generals nodded.

So the next day, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce dispatched troops.

A spy had already reported to Huang Zu, and Huang Zu was shocked, he never thought that Yang Xi would take the initiative.

Now by Huang Zu's side, there is not a single capable general, he is equal to Yang Xi's strength, and Yang Xi still has a few generals, where can he afford it.

So Huang Zu hurriedly ordered people to rush to Changsha County in the starry night, and asked Zhang Xian to send troops to attack Yang Xi's back road, and he would be saved.

Yang Xi expected that Huang Zu would definitely ask Zhang Xian for help, but what he fought was the time difference. Zhang Xian's soldiers arrived, it would take at least ten days, and Yang Xi must take Yixian and Qichun within ten days.

Yixian and Qichun are places where Yang Xi has been infiltrated for a long time when he started, and once it is included in the scope, there should be a lot of internal problems, and the mass foundation is also excellent, and Yang Xi is not afraid of the resistance of the families in the two places.

A small half of the family has already joined the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and if it can't be solved at that time, it will be solved by force.

On August 17, Huang Zu had just sent out the envoy, and Yang Xi had already crossed the Yangtze River.

Yang Xi led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the city, and Huang Zu ordered people to close the city gate, but did not transfer the troops from Yi County to rescue.

Yang Xi besieged but did not attack, and the stalemate lasted for two days.

"It seems that Huang Zu is not a rookie, he knows my intentions, but unfortunately I haven't infiltrated Xiling enough, otherwise I will take Xiling directly."

Seeing that Huang Zu was not successful, Yang Xi could only order Cai Kao to go directly to take Yi County.

Cai Kao arrived in Yi County, and Yi County had already gotten the news, but he didn't go out, and let Cai Kao surround him, but he didn't fight.

Under the city, Cai Kao gathered more than a dozen platoon leaders to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.

Cai Kao saw Yang Xiqi attack Haiduan with his own eyes, and now he has 2,000 troops, and the other party has 3,000 defenders, so he can only outwit him.

At the end of the day, Cai Kao relied on the advantage of the long range of his crossbow and shot more than 20 defenders on the city wall, and then it was difficult to advance again.

The generals deliberated, and some people thought that the method of the president's surprise attack on the sea dusk could be used, but it was directly denied by Cai Kao. Because of the battle case of Haidu, Huang Zu must have studied it and must be prepared.

While they were discussing, someone suddenly came to report, saying that Lu Dong, the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, was visiting.

Cai Kao hurriedly led Lu Dong in.

Lu Dong was one of the first people to do business with Yang Xi, and the two of them established the Donghang spindle, which is now relatively large, with more than 2,000 people under his hands.

Cai Kao has a good relationship with Lu Dong, and they have known each other for seven or eight years, and they are the first to associate with Yang Xi.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Cai Kao said: "Boss Lu, you are here to see my jokes, Gongzi gave me the task to take Di County within three days, this is really a bit embarrassing, you may really be seen as a joke." ”

Lu Dong said: "Battalion Commander Cai, don't bury me, with the strength of your team, if you are fighting outside, ordinary 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers should come and go freely, they have been trained for seven or eight years, where can these newly recruited recruits compare, you want to reserve as much strength as possible for Gongzi." ”

Cai Kao nodded.

Lu Dong continued: "Although Childe didn't take a fancy to me Lu Dong, but my Lu Dong has today, but Childe has a hand-picked allocation, and now Childe is in need, Lu Dong can really help." ”

Cai Kao said: "Boss Lu, don't be joking, if you want to say business, I'm really not as good as you." But in this siege and war, do you want to steal my limelight? ”

Lu Dong said: "Where to say, you and my brother, tell you the truth, don't dare to say it elsewhere, this county, I can help you take it in a blink of an eye." ”

"Say it quickly, don't sell it."

"Don't worry, let me tell you in detail, my Eastern Airlines Commercial Bank, as early as six or seven years ago, has developed to Yi County, and now the commercial bank is in Yi County, there are about two hundred people, a few days ago when the son mobilized troops and horses to cross the river, I had already noticed that I would come to take Yi County, so I arranged with my subordinates at that time, let them gather people, and leave contact information. Now our firm should have contacted more than a dozen member units of the Chamber of Commerce, as long as there is a fire outside the city, they will attack the south gate, and the defenders of the city gate will not be able to defeat it. ”

Cai Kao nodded again and again as he listened, but he was worried.

"How many men can you muster?"

"To say the least, there are five or six hundred!" Lu Dong actually thought that he was already conservative.

Cai Kao thought about it, five or six hundred is relatively small, there are three thousand defenders in the city, and at least seven hundred people at the south gate, divided into two shifts, and more than 300 people are available at any time.

Seeing that Cai Kao was a little worried, Lu Dong said: "Camp Chief Cai, rest assured, these people are all strong in the commercial bank, although they are temporarily gathered, but if they have a heart or not, they will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."

Cai Kao didn't think much about it anymore and said, "Okay, then after midnight today, raise the fire as a number!" ”
