The 368th Thousand-Mile-Rush

Ten ships are a fleet, forming a long snake formation on the mighty Yangtze River, staggering downstream; Sun Ce's army did not stop as agreed, but Xun Gang saw that their army was not honest.

They were obviously preparing to attack Jingbei, and Sun Ce also deliberately did it for himself, he hoped that he would see this scene in a dilemma, so he knew that he had already prepared?

Xun Gang said indifferently to Lu Xun: "Sun Ce is in Chaisang, right?" We pass by there, Sun Ce will definitely come out to see, and when the time comes, we will give him some color! ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had already heard the news of Xun Gang's departure, and they still went out of the city to see it off with the etiquette of the host; However, their eyes did not seem to be kind, and there was even a hint of schadenfreude.

"Xun Gang is not stupid, why did he abandon his own territory for this little thing?" Sun Ce smiled and said, "When he leaves, Jingzhou is not in my bag?" Gongjin, what do you think? ”

Zhou Yu's typhoid fever has long been cured, and now he is extremely healthy, but his brows are furrowed, as if he is uneasy: "Bo Fu, everyone thinks that Xun Gang's move is unwise, so how can he not know it?" I think he should have already left a back hand, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to attack Jingzhou......"

"What can he do? The scout said that he took away 30,000 soldiers and horses, and even Lu Bu was taken away by him, who else can be me in this Jingzhou? Sun Ce has an arrogant temperament and doesn't take other people in his eyes at all, "If he has a back hand that shakes the heavens and the earth, I might as well put on a cloak and return to the mountains and forests!" ”

"Boom!"

As soon as the words fell, only a loud noise was heard, and the splash in front of Sun Ce suddenly exploded, and with more than a dozen earth-shattering cannon sounds, the water surface of the Yangtze River burst out one after another, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were dumbfounded.

"This ...... Is this a thunderbolt? Sun Ce said tremblingly.

Zhou Yu shook his head: "The thunderbolt car will not explode again after hitting the target, it seems that Xun Gang has developed some new weapons...... If he uses these weapons in actual combat as soon as possible, I am afraid that you will really be wiped out in the last Gangneung battle. ”

Sun Ce was speechless, this weapon is amazingly powerful, could it be that he really wants to return to the mountains and forests? No, no, no...... You must find an opportunity to find one or two of Xun Gang's new weapons for your own use!

The boat passed by, and suddenly heard a voice: "Hey, hey, oh, okay...... Sun Ce, I know you're here! If you want to take my Jingzhou, just take it over there, provided you can take it! Hahahaha! ”

Sun Ce didn't know what method Xun Gang used to amplify his voice so many times, but Xun Gang's trick was really useful, if he Sun Ce wanted to attack Jingzhou, he had to weigh it himself!

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Bo Fu, I wanted to put him in a dilemma, but I didn't want to wait for a dilemma......"

Sun Ce nodded weakly.

After the demonstration, Xun Gang didn't stay longer and left, and Sun Ce could only look at the boat and sigh into the air.

"This Sun Ce still wants me to be in a dilemma, and now it's his turn to be in a dilemma, hahahaha!" Xun Gang put away the simple microphone and laughed heartily.

"That is, how can his father's weapon be understood by his little Sun Ce?" A delicate and jerky voice suddenly said.

"That is, who is your father? …… Wait, how did you kid end up here? ”

Xun Gang looked at Xun Zhan who suddenly appeared behind him, speechless in shock, he looked at Zhang Liao who was scratching his head on the side, and said slightly angrily: "Wen Yuan, I don't mind if you and Zhan'er become brothers, but how can you spoil him so much?" We're here to fight, not to have fun! ”

Without waiting for Zhang Liao to answer, Xun Zhan hurriedly spoke out to stop Xun Gang's scolding: "Father, don't blame him, I asked him to bring me in secretly, I really want to fight with my father so much, and killing Hu is something that should be done in the world, how can I be missing?" ”

"Stinky boy, you're not an adult, you can't even ride a horse, what kind of fight are you fighting with me?" Xun Gang scolded, "If it weren't for the enemy's territory now, I would have thrown you off the boat and let you swim home by yourself!" ”

Xun Zhan was not annoyed at all, but smiled: "Then my father can only take me there, hahahaha!" ”

Xun Zhan looked like a victor, turned around and slapped Zhang Liao's palm, Xun Gang had no choice but to repeat his orders: "It's okay to go with me, but you must not get off the boat, you take good care of him for me!" ”

Xun Gang thought to himself that Lu Bu was his real grandfather after all, and he must be reluctant to let him go to the battlefield......

Lu Bu nodded, taking advantage of Xun Gang's efforts to turn his head, but nodded with Xun Zhan; Xun Zhan smiled and nodded, it turned out that he had already discussed it with Lu Bu......

Xun Gang's wishful thinking was completely empty.

The ship traveled very quickly, and it took ten days to reach the Yangtze River Delta, and then it was about to go to sea; After passing through the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, it will enter the territory of the Yellow River, and then go ashore from Baimajin and pass through Yecheng to Handan.

Jizhou is now the paradise of the Hu people, there will inevitably be a lot of obstacles on the road, and the march with cannons must be slow, Xun Gang originally planned to advance by land and water, but looked at the map and found that there was no shortcut to Handan; If you want to go here, you will inevitably pass through Cao Pi's territory and a war will break out.

Zhang Liao was familiar with the terrain of Jizhou, so he said: "I don't need to take the mouth of the Yellow River, there is a Hutuo estuary on the north bank of the Yellow River estuary, which is also in Bohai County. It's just that you will inevitably meet a lot of Hu people on the way, and they will move slowly. ”

Zhang Liao pointed to the two estuaries at the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou on the map, the upper estuary is called Qinghe, and the lower estuary is called Hutuo River; The origins of these two estuaries are both in Bingzhou, and the basin is extremely wide, and the two rivers irrigate almost the entire land of Jizhou.

Xun Gang followed Zhang Liao's finger and looked at the direction of the river, although it was extremely complicated, it was indeed the closest river to Handan, so he ordered the whole army to march towards this estuary.

Whether it is in the East China Sea or the Yellow Sea, there are only a few large merchant ships on the sea, and they all avoid Xun Gang's fleet when they see it; However, Xun Gang didn't know what the weather was like at sea, and he might have to sail on the sea for about 20 days, so he ordered his men to intercept a few merchant ships.

Those merchants thought that the officers and soldiers had come to rob, but they were relieved when they learned that they were asking about the climate; It's been a quiet few days, so you just have to worry about the tide at night. Xun Gang said that this was a building ship for battle, which was naturally stronger than their merchant ships, so he thanked the man and prepared to leave.

"I don't know where the general is going, if he is on the same road, the grass people can still lead the way."

The merchant was slick and tight, for there were pirates at sea and robbers on land; If you go with a large army, you will naturally avoid these threats.

"This is a military secret, how did I tell you?" Lu Xun scolded.

Xun Gang waved his hand, it was naturally good for someone to lead the way, but he only told him: "I'm going to Jizhou." ”

"Jizhou? It's a mess there! The mouth of the Yellow River has almost been sealed, saying that it is to prevent the Hu army from going south, but it has hurt us businessmen, so we have to take a long detour! I heard that all the counties and counties of Jizhou have been lost, and only Handan City is still holding on, but it has been guarding for almost half a year, and I'm afraid it won't last long......"

Zhang Liao was secretly happy when he heard this, it seems that this Hao Zhao really lived up to his expectations, and he actually kept Handan alive!

"Bo Dao hold on, I'll come right away!"

It's just that Zhang Liao doesn't know, that Handan City has no water and no food, even if all the people are soldiers, how did he defend it at such a time?

The merchant asked again, "Is the general going to kill Hu?" ”

Xun Gang nodded.

The merchant was so overjoyed that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Zhang Shiping, a merchant in Xiazhongshan, used to sell horses as a business, but he had to go to sea to make a living because the Hu people went south. Now the general is going to kill the Hu people, leading the way and solving problems for the general! ”

"Zhang Shiping? Have you ever sponsored that Liu Xuande? ”

Zhang Shiping nodded, but sighed: "The grass people didn't expect that Liu Xuande would be able to make a fortune, but after so many years, I'm afraid that he has long forgotten about me, a small businessman who funded him with a few hundred gold...... Why did the general know about this? ”

Xun Gang waved his hand and did not explain, but let Zhang Shiping follow the army; Zhang Shiping asked his caravan to temporarily camp in the surrounding ports, and he enthusiastically led Xun Gang to the way.

"General, don't you know, there are more than one million Hu soldiers and horses in Jizhou now, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Xiongnu are everywhere, and the most important leader is still the Xianbei Kebineng. Out of this million Hu soldiers, there are nearly two million women and children, and the population is far better than my Han people! I wonder how many soldiers and horses the general brought to defend against the Hu people? ”

Although Lu Xun didn't care about Zhang Shiping's guidance, he kept asking about the military plane, which really annoyed him, and said angrily: "Hey, you Shangfu, it's a big crime to ask about the military plane, and you still don't change it!" Don't turn your head and ask me why! ”

Zhang Shiping explained: "The general doesn't know, this Hu people have extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the grass people are afraid that the general will suffer a loss due to the lack of soldiers and horses, so they ask each other." The general didn't want to tell him, but the grass people didn't ask. ”

30,000 soldiers and horses marched slowly in the vast East China Sea, walking towards the unknown ahead.
