Generally, rivers flow from west to east, or from north to south, but Hunan water is different, it flows from south to north into Dongting Lake, and finally joins the Yangtze River. Xiangyin County is located on the east bank of Xiangshui forty miles southwest of the inlet of Xiangshui into Dongting Lake, just in the turn of the river, surrounded by water on three sides, only the east is land, which can be described as very dangerous.

Yao Chongyu and Zhang Yue led a total of 50 warships from Dongting Lake to the south, and it only took one hour to turn around and capture the Yuanjiang River, and the situation was very smooth, and it took only five days before and after. Then go around to the southeast Xiangshui inlet lake mouth and go south, only advance less than 20 miles, and at dusk reach a bend in the river called Baishawan, and then encounter an ambush.

The river here is three or four miles wide, the banks are full of withered yellow reeds and wild grasses, and there are also some small town ferries, where large and small fishing boats and merchant ships are distributed. But the army marched and didn't pay attention to these, just wanted to reach Xiangyin and capture the city as quickly as possible, and didn't have much experience in water warfare at all.

As a result, I suddenly found that a fleet of ships appeared in front of me, like a black embankment blocking the river, and there was also a large fleet behind, and two squads on the left and right were separated, hanging from afar, gradually forming a circle, but they did not rashly attack.

"We are still one step late, it should be Changsha Liu Yan got the news and led the fleet down the water, which is much faster......" Zhang Yue stood at the bow of the ship and stood against the wind, observing the movements of the Chu army. Seeing that they were lowering their sails and slowing down, they didn't seem to have any intention of attacking.

"It shouldn't be able to fight, but you have to guard against it...... It's just that in this way, it's a bit passive. According to what I knew in Tokyo before, as well as what I have seen and heard recently, it is possible that Wang Jinkui is here. Yao Chongyu guessed.

"Doesn't that mean that there is danger, I heard that this Wang Jinkui is not willing to submit to the Great Zhou, maybe ......"

The two were talking, although the fleets of the two sides slowed down, but the huge inertia still quickly approached hundreds of steps, and the warships in the front row of the other side were all large ships, hunting with the wind and flags, and the swords and guns on the ship were like a forest, and the armor was dotted, and the momentum was extraordinary.

A long and narrow boat rushed out of the fleet of the Chu army, and the paddle hands on the boat rowed left and right, as fast as an arrow from the string, and soon rushed to the front of the forbidden army fleet, but suddenly turned around on the river, and made a few turns, and slowly stopped the coming.

A petty officer in light armor bowed his hand, put his hands to his lips and shouted: "Is the person who came here a medicine encounter? My marshal invites you to come on the boat, do you dare to come? ”

"Humph! A pawn dares to call a certain family by its name, so rude! Yao Chongyu slapped the bow railing fiercely when he heard this, and he was furious.

"Huh...... Attitude is not important, as long as someone comes to shout, it is a good thing, indicating that the other party is jealous and does not dare to be presumptuous, then there is something to talk about. Otherwise, with our soldiers, there is really no sure! Zhang Yue persuaded with a smile.

"I fell into the ambush circle of others, I'm afraid I can't talk like this!" Yao Chongyu said with some concern.

"I'll go with you! Leave Shi Shouren under your command to watch for the time being, with Han Sheng's help, it shouldn't be a problem. Zhang Yue suggested that Shi Shouren was originally the deputy commander under Yao Zhongyu, and now he is the Marquis of Duyu.

Yao Chongyu nodded in agreement, and immediately asked the soldiers to shout and reply, turned around and summoned the officers, and briefly said some possible accidents and how to deal with them. Together with Zhang Yue, he took a group of personal soldiers and approached him in a small boat.

The Chu army also sent a small boat to guide the flagship leaning towards the center of the river, but stopped the entourage and soldiers on the small boat and did not allow them to get on the boat. Zhang Zhixing's courage had risen recently, and he immediately drew his sword to deter, but the officers of the Chu army were unmoved.

"Forget it! Let Chen Jia take someone to stay, you order five people, and follow me up to have a long experience! Zhang Yue didn't care, turned his head and beckoned Yao to meet again, holding the rope ladder put down on the side of the boat, and slowly climbed up.

When I got on the deck, I saw the soldiers of the Chu army on the bow of the ship wearing helmets and armor, carrying knives and guns, and they were heavily guarded, looking like they were facing a great enemy. A little official in a green robe was waiting there a little nervously, and when he saw someone coming up, he immediately stepped forward and bowed down and said, "It's windy here!" Both of them make the inside please! ”

Yao Zhongyu sneered, and pretended to sigh without smiling: "Chu has been divided for decades, and I don't want to wither to this point, I don't even have a decent civil official, so I let a small official come to greet ......."

"A little official, why bother, save some effort to see the main master!" Zhang Yue has always looked at problems more realistically, and he doesn't attach importance to these false courtesies at all.

Yao Chongyu was silent for a while, Zhang Yue left Zhang Zhixing and other five personal soldiers outside, in case something happened, he could respond to it, and followed the little official to the cabin with Yao Chongyu.

When I entered the door, I saw that there were already more than a dozen civil and military officials sitting in the cabin, and after the case in the middle of the head, a middle-aged general with a tall figure and a slight beard was staring at the two with a gloomy face.

"Who is the heir of Uncle Pan, the general of Wang's department? Do you dare to report your name? The general didn't talk nonsense, but asked directly, and his attitude was extremely arrogant and rude.

"A certain medicine reunion is! What do you think? "It's not a small deal of courage when the medicine is heavy, and it doesn't give in.

"The ancients said: A tooth for a tooth! Blood for blood, a certain family is willing to follow suit. Come! Take it for me! The general was none other than Wang Jinkui, and he gritted his teeth and shouted the order.

"Slow!" Zhang Yue's mind turned quickly, if this was the case, it would be troublesome, so he immediately stopped him loudly: "Dare to ask, but the commander of the Chu army is Wang Jinkui?" ”

"Bold! Who are you? Is there a place for you to speak falsely? Wang Jinkui was furious, his face was swollen and red, and he slapped the case in front of him, and he pretended to be forced to scold the article.

"It seems that you are Wang Jinkui...... My name is Zhang Yue! It's just a deputy envoy of the forbidden army, but fortunately, it was sealed by the Son of Heaven himself, and this time he came to take Yuezhou! Naturally, it is also in accordance with the will of the DPRK, this is not a lie, but a big truth! Zhang Yue chuckled, ridiculed the general's self-proclaimed marshal, and lifted the fig leaf by the way.

Since you want to surrender and take refuge and hug Da Zhou's golden thighs, then Da Zhou's appropriate collection of Yuezhou as a protection fee is not too much. Moreover, the Zhou army can be said to have no fear, and the north sent envoys to Jingnan, of course, it can't just be a matter of rewarding Gao Baorong, when necessary, it is still possible to transfer warships and thousands of troops, and at the same time, Anzhou also has Li Hongyi in charge.

Zhang Yue is very clear about these hole cards, so he doesn't need to be inferior. And now, in addition to Xiangyin, Yuezhou has basically been taken, and the wood has been completed, and I am afraid that he will take it back.

Wang Jinkui was originally a pawn of the Jingjiang army, and later mixed with the commander, coinciding with the Ma family's successive civil strife, Wang Jinkui took the opportunity to mutiny with Zhou Xingfeng and others to support Ma Guanghui, seeing that he could not succeed, and supported Liu Yan to rebel, which is now mixed with the status of tens of thousands of soldiers, it can be seen that he is very good at drilling the camp of the cunning and cunning people.

"Someone! Take down this megalomania! Bring back Xiangyin! Expel the headquarters of the forbidden army ashore, allow them to camp, and confiscate their weapons and ships. Wang Jinkui couldn't hold back his monstrous anger anymore, and Huo Ran got up and ordered.
