Chapter 666: The Battle of Yiyang (2)

Luo County, County Mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhou Tai strode into the lobby, and scolded with a very distinctive Wu Yue accent. I have to say that the dialect of Wu Yue Land has a feeling of wiping people's buttocks with silk when scolding, soft, but the words are very vicious.

"Youping, what's wrong with you?"

Tai Shi Citon felt big.

He is a native of Donglai and speaks Qingzhou dialect.

Although the accent has changed long ago, and even after living in Jiangdong for many years, he has always had more official accents. On weekdays, he can talk to Zhou Tai and them, but once Zhou Tai and these people talk quickly, he is a little overwhelmed.

Zhou Tai is a native of Xiacai, but he has lived on the river for a long time and lives in Jiangdong all the year round, so he speaks the pure Wuyue dialect.

The Wu Yue dialect at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is still a little different from the Wu Nong soft language in later generations. In history, the people of the Central Plains moved south several times, the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty moved south, causing a large number of northerners to go south, which made many changes in the Wuyue dialect. However, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wuyue dialect contained a lot of Shanyue native dialects, and if it was not a pure Jiangdong person, it was likely that they would not be able to understand it.

Zhou Tai said: "Cao thief, deceive people too much. ”

"Which Cao thief?"

Zhou Tai's face flushed, and he roared loudly: "Which other Cao thief is naturally that Hanshou's thief." “

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Tai said angrily: "Today, Wen Xiang led the army to patrol the lake, and he didn't want to encounter the Cao army's warships. You also know that when patrolling, they are all small boats, but Cao Jun is all big boats. forced Wen Xiang to give way, and there were two ships, which were almost knocked over by the Cao thief army......

Ziyi, you say, is this too much of a deception? ”

Sounds like a bit excessive!

However, Tai Shici was not angry, but looked at Zhou Tai with a smile, and suddenly said after a while: "Youping, Wenxiang's ship, did you cross the hundred-mile line?" ”

"This ......"

After Yu turned out to envoy Hanshou, Cao Peng ordered the navy to retreat sixty miles.

However, he also set a dividing line with Tai Shici, and the two sides must not cross it without authorization, otherwise it will be regarded as the first provocation.

Tai Shici has never seen Cao Peng, but he has admired his name for a long time.

He felt that there was no need for Cao Peng to take the initiative to provoke, if there was a conflict, there would be a good chance that Zhou Tai and others would be secretly doing it. Zhou Tai was born as a water thief, and Xu Sheng also came from the Wandering Grass. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce died, and Sun Quan recruited soldiers and horses. Xu Sheng, who was a ruffian hooligan in the Wuxian market at the time, joined the army and soon had outstanding military exploits and was appreciated by Sun Quan.

If you say, Zhou Yu, He, Qi and Zhu Ran are these people, Sun Ce pulled them up.

Then generals such as Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin and Su Fei, who rose after Sun Quan took power, belonged to Sun Quan's cronies.

Tai Shi Ci was subdued by Sun Ce, so he was not regarded as a confidant by Sun Quan. And he is also a smart man, he never forms cliques, and he never conflicts with anyone, so he can hold power. Zhou Tai Xu Sheng, the gangster who can't be changed! When he was in Jiangdong, he relied on Sun Quan's appreciation, and he was quite arrogant. Now Tunzha Bo Luoyuan is nominally under the control of Tai Shi Ci, but in fact, he does not obey the dispatch.

These guys are the masters who can't be idle, and they must have crossed that dividing line.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Cao Jun to ram the ship for no reason, and at this time, such behavior could easily lead to conflict.

Zhou Tai's face flushed, "Since he was born, he has been on the river, how can he ever let others?" ”

"Youping, you don't have to listen to the command.

But you should know that now is the critical time for the lord to be appointed as the Great Sima. If the Lord misses the opportunity because of you, how will you take the bus to the Lord at that time? Let's bear with it first, Cao's army is powerful, and it really can't clash with it head-on. That Cao Peng is not an idle person. Now sitting in Hanshou, the capital of Jingnan military, and the power in his hands is very great, it is not you and I can go to provoke now.

You should restrain your subordinates and not clash with Cao Jun without authorization.

Not at least in the current situation...... In the future, there will be opportunities. ”

Tai Shi Ci's voice was so strong that Zhou Tai couldn't help but lower his head.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the lobby, and a junior colonel staggered and ran into the hall and knelt on one knee: "General, it's not good!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Cao Jun launched an attack on Yiyang yesterday."

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he was shocked.

He quickly stood up and asked sharply, "Are you sure?" ”

"It's been determined...... Cao Peng ordered Pang De to be the vanguard, with Jiang Wan as the chief of the army, and at the same time was dispatching troops in Hanshou to reinforce Yiyang.

Yiyang Liu Pan was defeated in a row yesterday, and now he has firmly defended the city and does not dare to fight.

Liu Pan sent someone to ask the general for help, and asked the general to send reinforcements as soon as possible to rescue Yiyang. ”

It's only one day, and you can't resist it?

Tai Shi Ci frowned, revealing a deep groan.

This Pound, it seems, is not very famous. At least in Tai Shici, he had never heard of Pound's name. It is no wonder that Tai Shici lived in Jiangdong all the year round and had little contact with the north. And what about Pound? followed Cao Peng for a while, and many people didn't know who he was. However, Tai Shi Ci did not dare to take it lightly. Pang De can be entrusted with the position of pioneer by Cao Peng, which must be extraordinary.

This person should not be underestimated.

Tai Shi Ci had a headache again...... But Zhou Tai didn't care about it.

"Ziyi, since that thief came to the door, he can't give up with him."

Tai Shici said angrily: "He hit Liu Bei's door, but not ours."

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but the question is, can we draw troops? Before, I wondered why Cao Peng wanted the navy to be stationed in Dongting. Now I understand that he is going to use this naval army to drag us down, and then seize Yiyang and open the gate of Changsha.

I'm sure that if we move, the water army on Dongting Lake will inevitably approach the shore. ”

How did Zhou Tai hear it, but he didn't care, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of them?" The lord ordered us to be stationed in Boluoyuan, originally to assist that Liu Xuande. If you sit on the sidelines, how to communicate with the main bus generation? As for the thief trolls...... Ha, why should Ziyi worry? What are the skills of those guys in the Jingzhou Water Army, you and I know in our hearts. Even if that thief has the ability to reach the sky, he can't make much change in the Jingzhou Navy in a short period of time...... In this way, I will lead the water army to attack and beat the thief water army back, then Ziyi can sit back and relax and rush to help Yiyang. ”

Zhou Tai was full of confidence, so that Tai Shici couldn't help but nod again and again.

He surrendered to Jiangdong for many years, and fought countless battles with Jingzhou military horses. Tai Shici also knows the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou army......

In his words, the Jingzhou army is a bunch of waste.

Except for a few, it was simply not enough for him to face it squarely. And among these few people, Liu Pan and Liu Hu also hired Wang Wei. The generals of the land battle, there are only these opponents, as for the water battle, there is only one Huang Zu who can fight. However, Huang Zu had already died in battle.

The combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Navy is a joke in the eyes of Jiangdong generals.

Tai Shi Ci thought about it and thought that what Zhou Tai said was not wrong. Sun Quan sent them over to ask them to assist Liu Bei. At this time, if you stand by and watch, you are afraid that you will be ridiculed. And what Zhou Tai said is right, the Jingzhou Navy is nothing at all......

"Since this is the case, Youping immediately dispatched troops and horses to enter Dongting Lake to force away the thief army."

Halfway through the words, Tai Shici suddenly said again: "But Youping, you have to be careful, don't fight too hard." After all, Cao Cao and the Lord are on good terms, and if he fights too hard, he will anger Cao Cao if he doesn't get it right, but it is not beautiful. Just send them back, and I'm going to send my troops. ”

Zhou Tai heard this and smiled.

"Ziyi, rest assured, I have my own measure.

But I don't know if the thief will cry after I beat him back...... Haha, I'll go back and fight with Wen Xiang. ”

Zhou Tai didn't say a word, and ran out of the lobby.

But Tai Shi Ci had an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

He always felt that this thing was a little weird. Cao Peng had only been in Hanshou for more than ten days, and he had the courage to go to war, which was quite different from his previous habits.

According to Tai Shici's understanding, whenever Cao Peng uses soldiers, he must first hibernate.

Then attack it unprepared, and take it by surprise. If you don't do it, you don't do it, but once you do it, it's like a thunderstorm, and it's extremely ferocious. But this time, why did Cao Peng suddenly attack Yiyang? Doesn't he know that the Jingzhou Navy is not enough to rely on?

Thinking of this, Tai Shici suddenly changed his mind.

"Immediately send someone to Yiyang, and say that Liu Jushi is holding on for a day, and my side will send troops to help as soon as possible. After sending someone to Linxiang and telling Uncle Liu Huang, he said that although I can rush to help, but the troops are insufficient, I am afraid it will be difficult to come in handy, and ask him to find another way out. ”

Wait, wait......

At the very least, take a look at the actions of the trolls and then make a decision.

It is necessary to send troops, but not to make a big show, so it is better to be careful......

Before coming to Luo County, Tai Shici had visited Zhou Yu and He Qi, as well as Junyan, Lu Xun, a young man from the local scholar clan in Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu Heqi's advice to Tai Shici is to walk on thin ice and be cautious. That is, to protect Liu Bei's interests, but not to anger Cao Cao.

But Lu Xun's idea to Tai Shici was: Cao Peng is a man who is a big man.

For this person, you can befriend and try not to offend. Therefore, when you arrive in Luo County, it is best to restrain the actions of Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng. Cao Peng has always respected me, and I respect people. If he really angered this person, he would definitely dare to break the boat.

This is also the only one among the generals in Jiangdong who reminded Tai Shici to pay attention to Cao Peng's advice.

Lu Xun seemed to know Cao Peng very well, and at the same time, he had a good impression of Cao Peng. On the contrary, Zhou Yu and He Qi seemed a little contemptuous and did not take Cao Peng in their eyes. However, if you look at it from their point of view, whether it is Zhou Yu He Qi or Lu Xun, there is nothing wrong.

Zhou Yu is the governor of the Jiangdong Naval Army, and He Qi is the Taishou of the Huiji.

The status of the two is there, and the height of looking at the problem is naturally different. Maybe in their eyes, the real opponent is Cao Cao!

But Lu Xun is now just a county order, so he pays more attention to details.

Lu Xun said to Tai Shici: "Liu Bei lives in Jingnan, and Cao Cao will not give up."

However, it was impossible for Cao Mengde to deal with Liu Bei personally, so he would send his confidants to supervise Jing Nan. If my guess is right, he will let Cao Peng go. First, Cao Cao is extremely fond of Cao Peng, and secondly, Cao Peng and Liu Bei are also old rivals......

When Ziyi arrives, be more careful. ”

Bo Yan, what a clever calculation!

Tai Shici let out a sigh of emotion in his heart, and immediately retracted his thoughts and dispatched troops.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bo Luo Yuan, that is, the later generation of Bo Luo River.

It connects Dongting, connects to the river, and is located on the bank of Luo County.

The water village of the Jiangdong Navy was set up on the shore of Boluoyuan. Zhou Tai hurriedly returned to Shuizhai and immediately found Xu Sheng to explain the situation.

Today, there are 30 large ships and more than 100 ships.

Although the number of sailors is not more than 10,000, they are all the elite of the Jiangdong navy.

This is also a major reason why Zhou Tai is arrogant......

Xu Sheng said: "And today the light is bright, and it is not easy to send troops." Although the Jingzhou naval army is not able to fight, it has a numerical advantage after all. In my opinion, when the secret order Erlang was ready, he entered the cave after dark, and rushed straight to Cao Junshuizhai, but the battle was successful, what did Youping think? ”

Zhou Tai was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Just what the text says."

At that moment, Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng secretly ordered 20 ships and 50 ships in Jiangdong to prepare for the attack. At the same time, he ordered people to make a false impression of rest and recuperation to confuse the ears and eyes of Cao Jun in Dongting. After dark, the well-fed Jiangdong Navy was ready to go. With Zhou Tai's order, the ship was in front, and the building boat was in the center, unfolding in a goose formation and slowly sailing into Dongting Lake.

The night was very heavy, and the eight-hundred-mile cave was pitch black.

From afar, you can see the lights in Cao Jun's water village, and there is a faint sound of fighting from time to time.

Approach slowly, trying to avoid making sounds. The boat broke through the water, drawing a series of waterlines, and the distance from the dividing line with Cao Jun was getting closer and closer.

After crossing the dividing line, Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It is dozens of miles away from Cao Jun Water Village. Looking at the sky, it was dark clouds and the stars were gone......

The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.

It's a good day to steal camps and rob villages, even God helps us!

Actually, it refers to February, after the sting. The rain in Dongting Lake will become a lot, and there is often no sunshine for more than ten days......

Just when Zhou Tai was secretly happy, he suddenly heard a burst of drums on the lake.

From the reeds, ships flew out and surrounded the Jiangdong naval army. The Cao Jun Water Village in the distance is even brighter. A skeleton rushed out of the gate of the water village and lined up on the surface of the lake. The three giant building ships slowly sailed out of the water village and pressed towards the Jiangdong naval army.

"Zhou Youping, early knowledge of Er and other non-moral people.

The treaty was made to draw a line on the lake...... But if you wait again and again, and repeatedly cross the line to provoke, do you think that our navy has no one? ”

At the beginning, a giant building ship was mentioned to be half the size of the Jiangdong building ship.

This is also the difference between the equipment of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Army. The Jiangdong Navy pays more attention to flexibility, so the size of the building ship is relatively small. The Jingzhou Navy pays more attention to the combat effectiveness of the ship, so when building the building ship, it pays more attention to thickening and enlarging, which is the increase in the impact force of the building ship.

Zhou Tai was stunned and couldn't help but be startled.

However, he did not panic...... It is not unheard of that there is something more embarrassing than the current situation. In addition, looking down on the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Navy from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Tai was not only nervous, but laughed nonstop.

"Wait, dare to call it a navy?"

As he spoke, he drew his sword and shouted, "Rush over." ”

The three building ships, with the cooperation of the warp, quickly approached Cao Jun's building ship.

On the handsome boat, Du Yi ordered people to light the lamp, and the lake was immediately illuminated transparently.

The handsome ship slowly moved out, and when several ships approached from the flanks, Du Yi suddenly ordered the ship to fight in place. The huge building boat slowly drew an arc on the water, and several ships were suddenly smashed to the ground and split apart with the rotation of the handsome ship.

The soldiers on the ship fell into the water, and before they could struggle, they saw more than a dozen Cao soldiers rushing forward.

The boats were all sailors with sharp blades, grabbed the Jiangdong sailors who fell into the water, raised their knives and fell, and cut off their heads.

Xu Sheng was behind, and he suddenly felt a little bad.

He wanted to stop Zhou Tai, but Zhou Tai had already ordered the boat to rush towards Cao Jun's boat.

Getting closer and closer to the handsome ship, Zhou Tai saw that on the side of Cao Junlou's ship, there were rows of objects, all covered with black cloth.

When Jiangdong revealed that it was six hundred steps away from Cao Junshuai's ship, Du Yi ordered again and ordered someone to lift the black cloth.

On both sides of the ship, there are ten eight-ox crossbows on each side. However, the structure of these eight-bull crossbows has changed a lot compared to when the original dance yin first showed its majesty. The bowstring is thickened, and the crossbow machine is enlarged...... And next to the crossbow machine, a winch was added, which made it easy to open the bowstring. After the remodeling, one gun and three swords and arrows have also changed. The shaft of the arrow was as thick as an arm, and the arrow was longer and sharper.

Du Yi shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

The crossbowmen immediately struck the machine, ten spears, and roared straight towards Zhou Tailou's ship.

The moment the arrow was fired, it produced a strange recoil. The huge building boat couldn't help but sway slightly on the water.

A modified eight-ox crossbow that can penetrate the back wall in less than 600 steps.

And Zhou Tai's building ship was moving at full speed, and when the Eight Bull Crossbow was launched, Zhou Tai also realized that something was wrong. But the huge inertia made him unable to dodge, so he could only order the building boat to fight horizontally, trying to dodge. However, the speed of those three swords and arrows was too fast!

With a bang, the hull of the ship was pierced by a single shot and three sword arrows, leaving a huge hole in the hull.

Ten spears, three of which hit the target. And the other seven, and two are on the stern next to the ship. The huge penetrating force directly shattered the ship's plank, and the entire hull sank downward. The ship's guards panicked and shouted loudly.

Xu Sheng hurriedly ordered an attack to try to rescue Zhou Tai.

Unexpectedly, the boats on both sides moved slowly at this time and approached Xu Sheng's boat.

The ship shuttled over the lake, and the fire rose into the sky.

Three giant handsome ships took turns to attack, sixty eight-ox crossbows, and they continued to fire. The Jiangdong Navy Army's building ships did not have any advantage, but now under the attack of the Eight Bull Crossbows, they were even more panicked. The boat has begun to enter the water...... Zhou Tai shouted loudly, allowing the soldiers to stabilize their minds. But in the face of the ferocious attack of guns and spears, the Jiangdong Navy had already been in chaos. The boats kept colliding, and the formation had long since become chaotic.

On the handsome boat, Du Yi kept issuing orders, and the fierce attacks of the navy army made the Jiangdong navy retreat one after another......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Zhou Youping lost?"

When the day was about to dawn, Tai Shici, who had already left Luo County and marched at the speed of a snail, got the news of the defeat of the naval army.

When he first heard it, Tai Shici was taken aback.

After careful inquiry, I learned that the Jiangdong Navy not only lost, but also brought Zhou Tai to Du Ji and became a prisoner of the order.

Xu Sheng desperately broke through the siege before he could escape.

Fortunately, Du Yi maintained restraint, and when Xu Sheng led the fleet to retreat to the line, he stopped the attack.

Twenty building ships, five were lost.

There were more than 50 ships, and when they returned to the water village intact, there were only more than 30 left. Tai Shi Ci immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to stop marching.

"Zhong Xiang, how is it now?"

Yu Fu smiled bitterly: "I opposed the general's dispatch of troops yesterday, and I didn't agree with Youping's rash provocation.

I've seen that Cao Youxue, this person is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and he can't be provoked. You need to explain the reason with him in a gentle way, and you will naturally be safe. But now ......"

Yu turned his mouth shut!

Tai Shi Ci was also extremely troubled, looked at Yu Xuan, and suddenly said after a while: "Can you invite Zhong Xiang to work hard again?" ”

Zhou Tai is Sun Quan's favorite general, and he is also a confidant.

Tai Shi Ci didn't dare to make a decision, so he could only let Yu Fu go to Hanshou again.

At the very least, to save Zhou Tai's life...... As for rushing to aid Yiyang, I still have to go. But how to help, but we need to think differently.

If Yiyang is in danger, Luo County will also be involved.

If Liu Bei *** falls, then Jiangdong soldiers and horses will become a lone army, and they will have to retreat to Jiangdong when the time comes......

Yu did not refuse or excuse himself, and after thinking for a while, he agreed.

"I'm going to Hanshou to try to get back to Youping with Cao Peng.

However, Ziyi should be more careful when he goes to Luo County. It's better not to get involved, to deter them, or to deter. ”

Tai Shi Ci thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Immediately, he sent someone to Linxiang again to inform Liu Bei of the situation.

He supervised the soldiers and horses, and slowly approached Yiyang......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Koto, the defeat of the navy?"

Liu Bei frowned and wandered around the lobby.

"Ji Chang, do you think this will be Jiangdong's prevarication?"

Zhuge Liang was not by Liu Bei's side, so Ma Liang took on the responsibility of the mastermind. Hearing Liu Bei's question, Ma Liang shook his head. Liu Bei thought so, and it was not without reason. Cao Cao and Sun Quan are now fighting hotly, and they are knighted and married, which makes Liu Bei feel very pressured.

"My lord, Sun Quan is not a person who does not know the importance of things.

What Cao Cao is doing now, he is not unaware of the mystery, but he has not yet made a decision. Therefore, Tai Shi Ci should not be a word of shirk, there are ten ***, there are indeed difficulties. Taishi Ziyi can continue to send troops, and he has already shown his attitude. But the lord could not have high hopes.

Liang has a plan, or it can solve the danger of Yiyang.

Hasn't the lord forgotten that in the Hutou Mountain, the Wuxi barbarians? The lord bought them with a lot of money, and now is the time to use them. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly realized.

Wuxi Man, how did I forget about them?
