Huainan will descend to Zhao, in fact, it is reasonable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With Bai Sheng's defeat and nowhere to be found, Huainan is like a child abandoned by his father, and he is already in a dilemma: on the other side of the river is the Yue Kingdom that has taken the land east of the river, and the upper reaches of Huaishui are the Chu king's division that is ready to recover Huainan at any time, and Bai Sheng's heirs and retainers will be like a mouse on a sinking ship, panicking all day.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the black-clothed men who had been arranged by Zhao Wuxian to infiltrate Huainan for many years and had already been a staff general went out one after another to persuade Bai Sheng's son Wang Sunyan. said that if Huainan was recovered by Chu Wangzhang, they, the core figures of Bai Sheng's rebellion, would inevitably be punished, and it was not impossible to kill them all; If Huainan was obtained by the Yue State, it would be difficult for them to win the trust of Goujian, and they would inevitably be deprived of all land and power and sent to the remote south.

Rather than this, it is better to descend Zhao!

"Marquis Zhao is the lord of the Central Plains, and he is ordered by the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he has the ambition to pacify the world. However, in the south, the cavalry of Zhao State is useless, and it must rely on the water division, and when the time comes, the generals of Huainan can be reused. In order to make Huainan feel at ease and let the people attach themselves to him, Zhao Hou will also give preferential treatment to the young master, and he can be at least a county monarch in the future......"

While tempting with sweet words, Zhao Jun also stepped up his approach to Huainan, and the divisions of Xu County, Donghai County, and Guangling County continued to cross Chaohu Lake after capturing Yihu, and frequently put pressure on Juchao.

Under the coercion and temptation of Zhao Guo's hard hand and soft hand, Wang Sunyan, who had no place to stay, only hesitated for a short time, and then surrendered to Zhao with all the fourteen cities such as Juchao, Ying, and Liu!

In May, Yingdu, who had just quelled the civil strife, had time to send an edict to persuade him to surrender, and the Zhao army had already collected all the Huainan Qunshu Zhuyi......

Yingdu was thousands of miles away, and he couldn't reach it, but the Yue country on the other side of the river reacted immediately.

……

In the early morning of late May, Huainan Water Village, located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, was silent.

In the course of attacking Wu for many years, Bai Sheng mastered almost all the forces of Chu's boat division, because he was able to transport his soldiers to Yingdu by ship after he decided to rebel. Originally, the Huainan Boat Division was able to be on par with the Yue State Water Division, after going to Yingdu half, it was suddenly invincible, in the past two years in the competition for Jiangdong in the Yue Kingdom, the Huainan Boat Division was repeatedly defeated, and finally did not dare to cross the river, so they could only shrink in the water village, with the Huainan Land Surrender Zhao, they will soon become the Huainan Boat Division of the Zhao State......

Huainan was originally the land of Ying, Yan Qunshu, Wu head and Chu tail, one will be occupied by the Chu State, and the other will be taken by the Wu State, so repeated for a hundred years, the Shu people have no sense of belonging to the Chu State or the Wu State, anyway, whoever is strong and occupies this place is their monarch. In this way, even if the person riding on the head is replaced by Zhao Guo, they have not changed the psychological burden of the court, but are glad that they finally have the protection of a big country, and they don't have to survive in the cracks of Chu Yue.

Wang Sunyan, who was on the other side of the nest, conveyed that after the generals of the Zhao army's navy would soon come to take over the Yongpu Water Village, the water village was full of joy and relaxed its vigilance.

However, on this night, the Yue people came unexpectedly, and they did not come from the downstream of Huainan's strict guard, but from the upstream......

Above the river, through the faint mist of the early morning, dozens of typical Wuyue small fighting ships under the command of the Mengchong battleship in the middle went down the river and drove quickly downstream.

They came from Pengze Lake, hundreds of miles away, and with the Yue State taking Jiangdong, the western border also expanded to Yuzhang, and the Chu State was bounded by Pengze Lake, so naturally a water division was secretly stationed there, taking advantage of the upper reaches to deal with the changes in the situation in Huainan.

Now, these dozens of Yue ships are like a huge net, quietly surrounding the Yongpu Water Village that is still sleeping, until they are discovered by the Huainan sailors who are keeping vigil on the water village, and then they suddenly attack.

On the command ship of the Yue country, the Vietnamese army sailor beat the drum, and the drumming of the war broke the silence of the dawn, which shocked people's hearts. The Yue people shouted and killed loudly on the boat, and the battle flags fluttering on the bow of the ship whirred under the pull of the river wind, and the Yue people wanted to take off and jump off the ship like a dragon that had been dormant in the water for a long time and was unwilling to be dormant. Or rush straight to the gate of the water village, or leave the boat to land, barefoot, and climb the gate with a sword in his mouth!

Yongpu Water Village was suddenly attacked, some caught off guard, hurriedly wanted to prevent the boats and soldiers from going out to meet the enemy, but the Yue people were brave, adding more combat power in the water, on land, the Huainan soldiers who got up in a hurry were killed, and the boats in the water were also ignited by rockets, burning one after another......

A few days later, when the generals of Zhao who came to receive the water village arrived in a hurry, the Yongpu water village had been burned to a white ground, the Huainan Zhou Division was almost completely wiped out, the ships did not leave a single board, only a few people survived, and the rest were captured by the Yue.

"Yu Yue's tongue man, dare to act so boldly!"

When the news reached Guangling City (Han), Qu Ao, the Taishou of Guangling County, was immediately furious, and at the same time regretted it, because of his caution, the boat division of Zhao State went south, but it was still a step slower.

Two years ago, in the name of "attacking Korea", Zhao Wuxian ordered Sanqi to build 200 warships. With the success of the strategic deception, these ships were now all dispatched south, and they sailed along the coastline, up the mouth of the Huai River, and then into the canal ditch dug by the Wu State to make wedding dresses for the Zhao people, and arrived at Guangling.

If the map was fast, it could have been entered from the mouth of the river, which was the route of the warships of Wu and Vietnam. The reason why he is so cautious is because although Zhao Guo's ships are available, the training of the sailors is still insufficient, and the actual combat ability is even more clumsy......

After all, there is no comparison between the northerners who are recruited and trained the day after tomorrow and the southerners who have made a living from boats since they were children, and this gap cannot be made up in one or two years.

The Yue people seemed to know this very well, they did not dare to directly start a war with the Zhao State, but they learned that when Huainan surrendered to the Zhao army, the river boats of the Yue State suddenly dispatched all of them, and defeated the Huainan Boat Division again in Yongpu, and also burned down several water villages, almost reducing Huainan's water power to zero.

Just when Qu Ao was annoyed, at the same time, Wucheng of the Yue Kingdom on the south bank of the Great River, and Yueqing Wenzhong, who had planned this matter with all his might, also excitedly reported this victory to Yue Jun Goujian.

……

"Congratulations to your lordship, in this way, Zhao Guo's idea of absorbing Huainan Boat Division has failed, and now Zhao Guo has a lot of boat divisions, but the training time of Wu Guo's surrender is still short, and he is not good at water warfare, so he can only dock on the north bank to prevent me from crossing the country to the north."

Wen Chong said this, but Gou Jian smiled: "The widow has no ambition to go north. ”

After the extermination of the husband, Gou Jian's revenge was avenged, because of the double threat of Bai Sheng and Zhao Guo, he did not slaughter the heroes as in history, except for Fan Li, who went away, Wen Chong became the secretary of the Yue Kingdom, and the rest of the doctors and generals were rewarded.

Gou Jian paced in the palace room of the former Wu State and said slowly: "Shao Bo once said that compared with the northern princes, although the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom are brave, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the scholars are extremely insufficient, so it is difficult to rule the vast territory. Even if there is no Zhao State in the north, the territory of the widow is only Jianghuai. The orange is born in the south of Huainan, and the orange is born in the north of Huai, and the Yue people go north, perhaps there is no good war in the south, and the death of the husband will be repeated. ”

"Therefore, the widow is satisfied with being a southern barbarian, and the territory is no more than Jiang in the north and Peng Ze in the west, so he only wants to be preserved between Zhao and Chu and slowly manage the south."

After a few years of peaceful life, Gou Jian seems to be a lot richer, and it seems that the spirit of the eagle has also faded a lot.

His eyes narrowed, and he said, "However...... If Zhao Hou had the heart to borrow Huainan Zhoushi and plot to cross the country, the widow would not be arrested! The gap in national strength is too big, in Jiangbei, Yue Guo is absolutely unable to fight the enemy Zhao army, but on this big river, the water division of the Yue country will always be stronger than Zhao Guo! ”

"What the king said is very true."

Wen Chong gave up his hand, and said: "Now that the Huainan Boat Division has been destroyed, relying on Zhao Ren's boat alone will not be able to threaten Jiangdong." It's just that the purpose of Zhao Jun's taking Huainan this time is probably not the Yue State, but the Chu State...... The civil strife in Chu has just subsided, and I am afraid that it is not the opponent of Zhao State, plus Yue Hukou grabbed food and destroyed the Huainan Zhou Division, which has already offended Zhao State. Your Majesty, the situation is like this, and if Yue Guo wants to stay out of the matter, I am afraid that it will be difficult. ”

"What should I do as I see it?"

Wen Chong said: "The river is thousands of miles long, from Shu to Yue, the order of the east and west, and among them, Jingchu is the center of the river. If Zhao Guoru seized Yingdu and garrisoned troops in Jianghan, he only needed to build a boat division to be able to go down the river and march east. Since ancient times, those who occupy the upper reaches of water warfare can often have an advantage, and when the time comes, relying on the large number of people and boats, coupled with the trend of the upstream, on the big river, the advantage of the boat division of the Yue country will also be gone! ”

"There is an ancient saying in the Central Plains, called the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Chu and Yue are just like Yu and Yu back then, just like the relationship between lips and teeth, if Chu is dead, Yue will be in danger!"

"That being the ......case," Gou Jian pondered for a long time, and then said: "Chu Wang Zhang is the grandson of the widow, after he recovered the Yingdu, he once borrowed grain from the Yue State, and the widow allowed him to let the cities near Pengze Lake send corn and rice to the Chu State. In addition, the southern Yue pawn went north to Wudi, and the boat division gathered, and the Dajiang River contained the Zhao army of Guangling and Huainan. If the Marquis of Zhao did not intend to exterminate the Chu State this time, then the Yue State could maintain this balance of power, obey the Zhao State on the surface, and secretly confront the Chu State and the Zhao State. If Marquis Zhao plans to annex Jingchu in a war this time and seize all the land upstream......"

Gou Jian's voice suddenly became fierce, and the gloomy Gou Jian seemed to be back: "Then the Yue Kingdom must go north with all its might, use the water division to cross the Jianghuai, and strive to ensure that the Chu State does not die!" ”
