Chapter 254: Blockade of the River
In the Lu Mansion, Lu Ye shook his head in disbelief after listening to Zhou Za's detailed report.
"Are the people of Liaodong so powerful? Are you hiring a master? ”
Zhou Za smiled bitterly: "I already overestimate Wei Shuo's strength, but I didn't expect ......."
He sighed in frustration and continued, "Those assassins have been carefully cultivated for many years, but I didn't expect that after encountering Wei Shuo, they wouldn't even have the strength to fight back!" The people of Liaodong are too fierce, no wonder Wei Shuo dared to enter Jianye with 300 people, not because Liaodong was careless, but in the eyes of Liaodong, we are no different from the people of the local chickens and dogs. ”
Hearing this, Lu Ye groaned and said: "You have also seen the performance of Weishuo in the palace, if he does not die, he will be our mortal enemy in the future, and it will be a big trouble in the future, whether it is in Youzhou or Jiangzuo." ”
"I'll think of another way......"
……
Two days after the assassination, Wei Shuo submitted his resignation to King Langya on the grounds that Xianbei had invaded Youzhou.
Although King Langya was a little jealous of Wei Shuo, he didn't want him to die at the moment, so he agreed to Wei Shuo's request.
At the end of March, Wei Shuo and Mao Bao's family left Jianye and prepared to return to Liaodong by boat.
Unexpectedly, another unexpected thing happened to Wei Shuo, the Jiangdong Navy Division blocked the entire Yangtze River and forbade the passage of any ships on the pretext of preventing the northerners from crossing the river.
During the Yongjia period, the north encountered a once-in-a-century chaos, which led to a large number of displaced people taking refuge in the south. The displaced people came from the south, and the situation varied, some were scattered, and some were led by large clans; Some can cross the Yangtze River sporadically, while others are stranded in the north of the Yangtze River.
However, even if it is a scattered influx into Jiangdong, after a few years, there are quite a few of them. In order to resettle the southbound displaced people, Jiang Zuo and Shangxia can be said to have tried their best, except for a small number of people who were resettled in various places to open up wasteland. Most of the rest were still servants and servants who had become the surnames of the scholars, and some of the brave were adopted as soldiers by King Langya.
View the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The southbound refugees have always been its main source of troops, and the later famous Beifu soldiers were also mainly homeless and strong.
After the outbreak of the Yongjia Rebellion, in the area of Yuzhou and the upper reaches of Yangzhou, a large number of northern refugees flocked to the south every day. The southward movement of displaced people brought a huge social crisis to Jiangzuo, in order to protect their own interests from loss. King Langya and the family sent sailors to intercept a large number of displaced people in Jiangbei, so that they could not return south.
During this period, it is impossible to count how many homeless people died at the hands of Jiangdong sailors, and even some family officials, royal family and nobles pretended to be robbers to rob Jiangmin's boats in order to fill their own pockets.
……
Outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, a fleet of sailors was quietly moored at sea, and a large Liao character on the flagpole indicated the identity of the fleet.
When Mr. Liu arrived at Jingkou with the Liaodong Navy Division's warship, he was stunned to find that the river had been blocked by the Jiangdong Navy Division. He looked at the dense Jiangdong sailors on the river, and couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding in his heart.
As previously agreed. General Liu led the main force of the naval division to the sea near Stone Town to meet Wei Shuo and his party, and escorted them back to Liaodong. But now that he is blocked by the Jiangdong Naval Division, he will definitely not be able to arrive at Stone City on time, in case Wei Shuo encounters danger on the river, who can guarantee his safety?
Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Liu's head came out all at once!
"My lord, the person who went to negotiate has returned." Joining the army walked into the captain's room and reported to Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu asked with a sad face: "How is it?" Are the Koto sailors willing to get out of the way? ”
The soldier said with a solemn face: "I don't want to, they use the excuse of preventing the displaced people from going south." Refused to open the Yangtze River waterway, and only promised that the blockade would be lifted after five days. ”
"Five days? After five days, the daylilies are cold! Now the lord and others are trapped in Stone Town. With only 300 guards and a few merchant ships around him, he had no power to fight back if he encountered any danger on the river. No, you can't wait here! Passing on my general's order, the whole army immediately seized Jingkou and marched up the river. Greetings to the Lord! ”
Mr. Liu immediately made a decision, since the Jiangdong sailors were unwilling to give way, they had no choice but to use force to break the waterway.
As the Liaodong Naval Division opened its formation, the Jiangdong Naval Division on the opposite side was not to be outdone, and the war was about to break out.
……
"My lord. It's late at night, so why don't you go and get some rest? Mo Han looked at Wei Shuo, who was still waiting at the desk, and persuaded.
"Wait a while, calculate the time, Zhixuan should also arrive, otherwise I can't rest assured!"
Wei Shuo waited for Mr. Liu to send someone over, but he never thought that in order to get rid of him, the Jiangzuo family actually asked Gan Zhuo, one of the leaders of the Jiangdong Shi clan, to lead the sailors to block the entire river and prevent him from returning north to Liaodong by boat.
The lights in the room flickered on and off, just like Mao Bao's mood was quite uncalm. I thought that after taking refuge in Wei Shuo, who valued him very much, he would show his ambitions in Liaodong, but he was blocked by the Jiangdong Naval Division, and now it is difficult to say whether he can return to Liaodong smoothly, let alone what to glorify his ancestors and make contributions.
Just as Mao Bao was suffering from gains and losses, he saw Mo Han walk into the room again, and said with a happy face: "Lord, Commander Liu has sent someone!" ”
"Bring it in!" Wei Shuo commanded eagerly.
"Subordinates, see the lord, this is a letter from Commander Liu to your lord!" The person who came handed Mr. Liu's secret letter to Wei Shuo.
"Good! It's hard work, go down and take a break! ”
"Hahaha, Liu Zhixuan is here, Shuo is worry-free!"
Knowing that General Liu led the main force of the naval division to arrive at Jingkou, the last stone in Wei Shuo's heart finally landed.
The Jiangdong Sailor suddenly blocked the river, making Wei Shuo feel that there was a strong smell of conspiracy in it, and he didn't dare to rely on a few merchant ships to confront the Jiangdong Sailor on the river. In the face of the interception of the Jiangdong Naval Division, the Weishuo people did not forcibly set sail and leave, but temporarily stayed on the shore and waited for the opportunity.
"Who is Liu Zhixuan? Why was the lord so happy to hear that he was coming? ”
Mao Bao just joined, he didn't know much about Liaodong, and now when he saw the Jiangdong Sailor blocking it, he thought that Wei Shuo would find King Langya to dredge, but he didn't want Wei Shuo to read a secret letter, so he didn't take the Jiangdong Sailor to heart, and couldn't help but be very interested in Liu Zhixuan in his mouth.
Mo Han explained with a smile: "Liu Zhixuan is one of my generals in Liaodong, and after Liu Zhang, the king of Chengyang in the Western Han Dynasty, his father Liu Gongyi is fair and upright, and the official is the left servant of Shangshu!" During the Yongjia Rebellion, his brother died at the hands of Shile. In order to avenge the hatred of the family and the country, Mr. Liu followed the lord to the north of Liaodong, and later took charge of the Liaodong Naval Division, making many meritorious contributions, and was a first-class naval talent. ”
"Today, Liu Zhixuan led the main force of the water division to Jingkou, why should we be afraid of the Jiangdong water division? Wait for it, once he hears that the lord is trapped in Jianye, he will break the blockade with the main force of the water division and take us back to Liaodong. ”
Mao Bao was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect that the land battle in Liaodong was strong, and its sailors were so powerful. At this time, Mao Bao no longer had half of his heart in Liaodong going north, but he was full of pride.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense! Tell me to go down, let everyone have a good rest, and wait for the water master to pick me up and go back! ”
……
Gan Zhuo is an indigenous scholar of Jiangzuo and a descendant of Gan Ning, a former general of Eastern Wu. He was known throughout history for his entanglement, and at first he was torn between his subordinates and his loyal subjects. After the fall of Eastern Wu, he once retreated to himself and wanted to be a loyal minister of Eastern Wu. Unexpectedly, he somehow came out again to be an official of the Western Jin Dynasty, and successively served as the chief secretary and gongcao of Danyang County.
After Gan Zhuo was no longer entangled in Eastern Wu and Western Jin, he was entangled in choosing to support Wang Dun and Sima Rui.
Thinking that Gandra has fought bloodily on the battlefield for most of his life, he should have been a mighty man, speaking categorically and loudly.
Unexpectedly, in his heart, he was more hesitant than a Libra woman, should he choose Sima Rui? Or is it better to choose Wang Dun?
In history, he thought and thought, left and right for a while, but he couldn't make up his mind, and finally made his friends and enemies crazy and collapsed.
At present, Gan Zhuo, as one of the two generals of the Jiangzuo clan with heavy troops, is proud of the spring breeze and has not had time to entangle. He was awarded the title of Marquis of Nanxiang for his participation in the rebellion against Du Tao, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Nanxiang for his accumulated merits, worshipping Yuzhang Taishou, and later reappointed as the assassin of Xiangzhou. This time, in order to get rid of Wei Shuo, the Jiangzuo family deliberately asked him to lead the sailors to the north, and together with Zhou Za, they blocked the entire river.
Just when Gan Zhuo and Zhou Za were full of ambition to destroy Wei Shuo in one fell swoop, they were suddenly stunned by the Liaodong Sailor who appeared on the river, they didn't expect that the Liaodong Sailor would dare to attack the Jiangdong Sailor in the face of the world's condemnation!
