(3rd Watch)

and state, Wujiang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Few people know that the Wujiang River refers not only to a river, but also to the Wujiang Pavilion. The pavilion, the smallest regional administrative unit of the Qin Dynasty, the Wujiang Pavilion, is ten miles away from the north bank of the Yangtze River in Hezhou, and the straight-line distance from Jinling is only sixty or seventy miles. The overlord Xiang Yu killed himself on the Wujiang River, not because he refused to cross the Wujiang River that ran north-south, but because he refused to cross the Yangtze River.

Today, Wujiang is Wujiang County.

Wu sent 100,000 troops to cross the river, and one of them assembled at Wujiang, intending to attack Chuzhou in the north.

Today, Wang Hui, the general of the Wu army, and Wang Yanyan, the assassin of Hezhou, paraded in Wujiang, and then the army was about to be pulled.

Standing the city wall and looking east, you can see the mighty river, and the ship on the river is like a mirage. Before the river, outside the city wall, there was an endless Wu army brave, with its armor at its peak and its halberds like a forest.

In front of the tower, in addition to Wang Hui and Wang Yanyan, there were also a group of generals of the Wu army.

Among them, the most dazzling is the young generation of Junyan who has made great contributions in Chudi, Chai Kehong, the son of Chai Zaiyong, the envoy of Wuchang Jiedu who led the army to attack Shishou and fought fiercely with Ma Huaiyuan, Liu Renzhen, the son of Liu Jin, the assassin of Changzhou who is now planning major events, and Li Jianxun, the son of Li Decheng, the king of Nanping, who was defeated in Dingyuan County and killed himself in Qingliuguan - these three sons, or inherit their father's achievements, or take over the mantle of their fathers.

"The vanguard has arrived at the border with Hezhou, and there is no northern thief to stop it, and now as long as the main force of our army goes north, smashes Huanglong into Chuzhou, and forces the northern thief to return from Yangzhou to help, then the siege of Yangzhou can be solved." Wang Hui leaned against the wall to watch the appearance of the Wu army, because he saw the strength of the soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but feel agitated and full of ambition.

Although he was defeated by Li Yanchao, Ding Mao and others in Shucheng, only 20,000 of the 50,000 people were evacuated, but in the end he still saved a breath of vitality for the Wu army, and then joined forces with Wang Yanyu and the state, taking advantage of the victory of the Tang army, he attacked many times in a row, and won quite a victory.

"Previously, Wang only had a little town army in Hezhou, and he was still able to resist the Tang army, and after joining forces with General Wang, he had many victories. Wang Yanyu, the assassin of Hezhou, was born strong and heroic, and his temperament was as resolute as iron.

Wang Yanyu has quite an anecdote about this person, and I must say it.

This son is a person from Shangcai in the Tang Dynasty, when Li Siyuan replaced Li Cunqiao, the states were chaotic, Wang Yanyu not only did not worry, but "happy to think hard" - happy to see the situation chaotic and wanted to work hard to make trouble, in order to get on the throne, this person is exhausted means, he was a warrior like a market ranger, quite dependent, on this day, he gathered six friends, and said to them: "If there is a change today, those who can get rich and noble are all decisive." Take advantage of the chaos, you and I can't lag behind. ”

Wang Yanyan was originally working in the Assassin's Mansion, and discussed with the six people at the moment: "I am on duty tonight, and the public will come with a good sword, I will prepare armor and answer in the mansion, and then I will kill the Assassin's Mansion, and I will be able to possess a state." ”

The six people were very excited when they heard the words, and they came as promised at night, just as they typed the code to connect with Wang Yanyan, but unexpectedly, Wang Yanyan had already mobilized the guards of the Assassin's Mansion, and waited in ambush around early.

Wang Yanyu killed these six people, immediately carried their heads to see the assassin, knelt down outside the door and said: "The traitor is plotting against him, but fortunately, he noticed it in time and has killed them all." However, he was worried that they still had comrades, so he asked the assassin to issue an order for him to arrest them, so as to calm people's hearts. ”

Thorn Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ran out of the door to help Wang Yanyan, but Wang Yanyan suddenly burst out at this time, and slashed the Thorn Shi who walked in front of him with a knife.

Afterwards, Wang Yanyu blamed the death of the assassin Shi on the six people who had died, and killed the family members of the six people, and then he occupied Caizhou, and no one was afraid to obey, just like the assassin Shi!

However, unfortunately, not long after Li Siyuan Luoyang became emperor, he sent people to crusade against him, and Wang Yanyu knew that he could not fight against Li Congjing's elite soldiers, so he had to flee south with his family. After arriving in Jinling, he was appreciated by Xu Zhihe, first became the capital of the government, and then soon became the assassin of Hezhou.

When Wang Yanyu served as the assassin of Hezhou, the history said that he "had political achievements, was good at pacifying the territory, and became Fuzhou".

Such a person, both civil and military, brave and strategic, and courageous, it is no wonder that when the Tang Army sent a division to attack before, it could not be captured in the short term.

Wang Hui listened to Wang Yanyan's words, laughed heartily, and felt that he had a very good appetite, "The land of the public capital and the land of the state projectile, is it a place for the public to live for a long time?" This time to attack Chuzhou, the imperial court to the public as the vice, this is the time for the prince to show his strength! ”

Wang Yanyan didn't look down on Wang Hui in his heart because he felt that Wang Hui led an army of 50,000 before, but he was defeated by the Tang Army, which was only half of the troops, but now is the time for the two to conspire with each other, so he will not show disdain, he patted Chai Kehong, Li Jianxun, Liu Renzhen and others on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "General Wang is in command of the overall situation, and there are all the heroes who charge into battle, and the northern thieves will be defeated!" ”

With this understatement, he easily pulled into his relationship with Chai Kehong, Li Jianxun, and Liu Renzhen.

Everyone was in high spirits and laughed together. The sun is shining, and the armor on the city wall is dazzling, and if there is a golden light, people can't open their eyes.

Tens of thousands of Jiangdong sons and daughters, all brave people, gathered in array at this time, and the armor was complete, making people have no doubt that they have the ability to pull out mountains and reclaim the sea.

A thousand years ago, the overlord Xiang Yu returned with a feather, in this horizontal knife to kill himself, refused to cross the Jiangdong, after a thousand years, Jiangdong has its own heroes to cross the river to the north, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the famous generals are shining.

There are successors to heroes, and it can be said that there are talents from all generations of the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

......

Changzhou, Wuxi.

From Qiantang to Suzhou in the north, through Wuxi to Changzhou, and to Runzhou on the Yangtze River in the north, there are canals connected, and this canal is the southernmost section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, called the "Jiangnan Canal".

Previously, Wu Yue and Wu Guo went to war, and most of the sailors started from Qiantang, went north through Hangzhou Bay, bypassed Chongming Island, and crossed the foot of Wolf Mountain to the west, but this time it was different, Wu Yue's army went directly to the canal.

The one who commanded Wu Yue's army, except for Qian Yuanjun, would not have a second person. Although Wu Yue did not set out with an army of 50,000 this time, he also had 30,000 soldiers, of course, it was claimed to be 50,000. On the Jiangnan Canal, the ships are connected, the mast is like a forest, the white sails cover the sun, the armor stands solemnly, stretches endlessly, the momentum is extremely huge, bluffing the ordinary people on both sides of the canal like seeing the gods, bowing their heads and worshipping.

In order to prevent Wu Guo from cheating, Qian Yuanqian left Lu Jiang on the boat, so that all the other party's contact with Wu Guo could not escape his surveillance.

Standing on the deck, bathing in the sun and river breeze, seeing that there are people on both sides of the strait from time to time to stop to watch or bow down, Qian Yuanqian has some pride in his heart, he thinks: My Qian clan armor is extremely southeast, and was named the king of Wuyue by the imperial court, but it is not a waste of fame!

Qian Hua came to Qian Yuanjun's side, bowed slightly and said, "After receiving Mo Li's military order, let us be cautious and beware of Wu Guo's fraud." ”

Qian Yuanqian took the military order, frowned and looked at it for a while, and returned the military order to Qian Hua, pondering: "Will Changzhou really have a trap?" ”

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Wu Guozheng is fighting fiercely with the imperial court in Jiangbei, and at this time he is resentful of my Qiantang, which is one more enemy and puts himself in a dilemma, which is very unwise!" ”

Qian Hua was old, thoughtful, and said softly: "Snatching people's property, such as killing parents, Qian Tang took the opportunity of forming an alliance with Wu to ask for Changzhou, can Xu Zhihe tolerate it?" ”

"However, there is a rebellion in Changzhou, what can he do?" Qian Yuanqian frowned.

Qian Hua sighed and said: "This rebellion is strange, I'm afraid it's fake!" ”

If Changzhou's rebellion is not fake, great achievements are at your fingertips, and it is logical to inherit the throne, if Changzhou's rebellion is fake, it will be troublesome, and the road ahead is unpredictable. ”

Qian Hua said: "It's better to be cautious and arrange a way out." ”

Qian Yuanqian thought for a while, "You can act when you see the opportunity." ”

Qian Hua nodded.

A few days later, the fleet arrived in Changzhou.

......

Jinling.

Xu Zhihe received a report that Wu Yue's army had arrived in Changzhou.

Sitting in the study, Xu Zhihe came down silently.

He knew that at this moment, the battle of Changzhou had begun.

What about the winners?

Although Xu Zhihe is confident, he does not dare to say that he will win.

But the battle of Changzhou, he must fight.

Not only because Wu Yue will take advantage of the fire to rob.

Shi Xubai's opinion, he didn't think about it seriously, and finally rejected Shi Xubai's suggestion, not because he was afraid that Wu Yue would continue to march to Jinling afterwards - he had fought with Wu for many years, and he had long known the temperament of King Wu Yue, even if there was an edict from the Central Plains, Wu Yue got Changzhou, it was enough to make a difference, and he would never continue to venture westward.

Because of the continued westward expansion, Wu Yue will lose his trust, which will inevitably lead to Wu Guo's retaliation, and Wu Yue and Wu Guo will have to fight to the death. When the two armies are at war, who dares to say that they will win? The outcome is unpredictable, but it is inevitable to lose troops and consume money, how can Wu Yue be so stupid, and if he gets benefits, he will start a war in vain, to consume his own strength, and give the Central Plains a chance?

The ambition of the Central Plains is well known, even if Wu Yue does not fight to the death with the Central Plains and takes the initiative to surrender at the last moment, but does Qian Yuanqian not consider his future? Wu Yue fought with Wu Guo, consumed more strength, and weaker himself, Wu Yue's weight in the eyes of the Central Plains was lighter, will he still be able to keep the throne in the future? Even if he can keep it for a while, doesn't Qian Yuanqian want to be hereditary on the throne?

Moreover, even if there is no Jianghuai, Wu still has Chu Land, in terms of national strength, it is difficult for Wu Yue to defeat.

But Xu Zhihe still can't help but fight the battle of Changzhou, he has his position, he has corresponding considerations in this position, and he also has corresponding hardships, and he has the perspective of looking at problems in this position.

For the same thing, different people often come to different conclusions and judgments, not many of which are different in their own roles and different perspectives on the problem?

Jianghuai has been eroded, this decisive victory is unpredictable, before thinking about victory, if Jianghuai is not guaranteed, he Xu Zhihe will become a sinner in Wu State, and then lose Changzhou at this time, will not become the target of public criticism? You must know that Wu and Wu Yue have been fighting for decades, although the war has won and lost each other, but the result of each battle is the victory of Wu State, Xu Wen is not without the opportunity to destroy Wu Yue, but he is busy with internal strife and does not want to fight to the death with Wu Yue, and the risk of replacing the Yang family is just increased.

Replacing the king with a minister, this courtier, will not allow defeat on the battlefield and no big stain.

Otherwise, the light one will blow his own prestige and delay the time to take the throne; The heavier ones will no longer have the opportunity to be a minister and a king in their lifetime!

And sacrificing Changzhou to Wu Yue without a battle is a great stain and a great shame, which will attract everyone's criticism.

Wu Guo's surname is Yang, not Xu. Huainan does not have the surname Xu for a day, and Xu Zhihe cannot be careless.

But if the Wu army ambushes Wu Yue in Changzhou and wins, Wu Yue is narrow and the people are few soldiers, after this defeat, it will inevitably be a big injury, and then Jianghuai will win better, even if he is not victorious, Xu Zhihe can also make up for it, and the persimmon picks up the soft pinch, and takes the opportunity to destroy Wu Yue and save his reputation!

Therefore, in the battle of Changzhou, Xu Zhihe had to fight!

With a long sigh, Xu Zhihe stood up, came to the door, and looked out of the house with his hands down.

I hope that the battle of Changzhou will be successful!
