The Zhang family of Nanyang County is not a family famous for its military generals.

In the early years, Zhang Wen inadvertently obtained a volume of channeling techniques, which was like a treasure, so that the knowledgeable Fang Shi took a look at it, and only then did he know that this thing was not suitable for all ages at all.

To learn the scroll channeling technique, you need to have enough water and vitality in a dense river, and in terms of age, you can't let people whose bone age has been formed learn, so it is cheap Zhang Yun.

As Zhang Wen's official position became bigger and bigger, the prestige of the Zhang family in Nanyang became heavier and heavier day by day.

Naturally, Zhang Yun learned the art of guiding, and it was impossible for him to go to Jianghan alone, and the Zhang family dispatched a lot of troops to escort him, forming the prototype of those water thieves.

Above the river, Jiangxin Island, which is rich in oil and water, is generally occupied by families. In some places where oil and water are scarce, there are water thieves.

Don't look at Zhang Yun to get the guidance technique, when he was born, the Nanyang Zhang family was already a big family, and he had never suffered anything since he was a child, how could he have the heart to work day and night? It is estimated that it is not even half a scoop of water.

Besides, the river is surging, and being a water thief is not because of how good your martial arts are, but because you need to be good at water.

It is said that the west of Qichun County is the territory of Shaxian County, and the junction of the two counties is the entrenchment of Jiangxiaman.

If in a remote barbarian land, the property is very different from the Central Plains, and many families are willing to do business.

However, the junction of these two counties is located at the southern foot of Funiu Mountain and Dabie Mountain, there are no special products, and the land is barren, so basically no family is willing to associate with the local barbarians.

Therefore, even the water thieves are reluctant to set up camp on the Jiangxin Island in the middle of the river, but occasionally there are individual water thieves who use it as a temporary stop.

This island is called Poison Dragon Island, legend has it that in the pre-Qin period, there was a poisonous Jiao from the Dabie Mountain, wanting to go through the river to the East China Sea, and transform into a real dragon.

It's a pity that the Jiao was killed by the thunder because he did too much evil.

Before dying, the poisonous Jiao coiled into a ball, forming today's island, the local people were afraid to call the poisonous Jiao to make the soul hold a grudge, and renamed the poisonous dragon island, which was the wish of the poisonous Jiao.

Poison Dragon Island is composed of two small islands, the Big Poison Dragon Island and the Small Poison Dragon Island.

When the Zhang family won this piece of land, it also cost a lot of real money to let the water bandits up and down open the net and admit that Poison Dragon Island belonged to the Zhang family.

The island was taken down, but there are few people in the Zhang family who have good water quality, even if many people have followed their son Zhang Yun here for several years, they are just a little better than ordinary people in water nature.

In addition, Zhang Yunnian has reached the crown, and according to the family's arrangement, he will go to Nanjun County Lieutenant and his father Zhang Quan to be a music commander.

So, Chen Qi, who was a slave in the Kuai family, entered their sight.

In the end, when the Cai family's fleet was robbed in Dongting Lake, a golden cicada came out of its shell and escaped directly to the island to become an owner.

The Zhang family wants to dominate the Jingzhou family, in addition to establishing power privately, they also want to constantly weaken the power of other families.

Of course, it is impossible for them to control the water bandits in various places, but it is still okay to provide an inside message once in a while, and this is how the Cai family's fleet suffered.

Fortunately, the families in Nanjun are all shrewd like ghosts, and they attacked once, not only to retaliate back, but also to follow every important item after that, and the Zhang family had no chance.

Zhao Yun's fleet is not fast, and it is equivalent to a tour along the way.

Zhang Yun set out from Jiangling, traveled day and night, and rushed to Poison Dragon Island, and Chen Qi, who changed his name to Zhang Da, was in an awkward position.

Also feeling uncomfortable is Xi Jun, the eldest son of Xi is in Jiangling City, and he is generally hugged from front to back, even with the sons and ladies of the Cai family and other big families, he is also in a transcendent position.

When he arrived at Poison Dragon Island, he didn't even understand what a water war was, and the Zhang family's interaction with the barbarians didn't want him to participate.

The two hit it off, and quickly whipped upstream, and in Xiling, they took the small sailboat of the Zhang family to monitor Zhao Yun's fleet day and night, and never thought that they would be exposed.

After all the information is collected and sorted out, everyone gets together and thinks about how to fight.

"Actually, we can break them one by one." Xu Shu spoke first: "The relationship between the Zhang family and Jiang Xiaman is not a close cooperation, both sides have their own ghosts, so there are suspicions to take advantage of." ”

Naturally, such a confidential matter, don't look at Chen Qi as the leader in name, he is not the Zhang family, and they are all contacted by the sons of the Zhang family or the people sent from Nanyang.

"Jiangxia is barren land, and the production is not enough to make ends meet." He continued to talk: "Imagine if I am the Zhang family, how can I use the barbarians? Then catch their dead holes. ”

"That's right!" Kuai Liang slapped his thigh: "From time to time, we will send their food in exchange for the barbarians' troops." ”

"That's strange," Huang Zhong shook his head: "Zhong has also led troops to fight with barbarians, they are usually used to mountain jungles rather than water battles, can barbarians come on ships to fight?" ”

He said bluntly: "In that case, it's similar to the part you brought out Zilong." ”

Zhao Yun's face stiffened when he said this, why did he get involved with his own family?

"Brother is right," he turned his head and immediately got to the point: "Poison Dragon Island is in the middle of the river, and the waterways on both sides have become narrow, so Jiang Xiaman's role is highlighted at this time. ”

Yes, everyone suddenly realized.

These barbarians, because of the lack of food on weekdays, walked through the mountains and forests one by one, and were good hunters, and they could shoot the wild beasts on the mountains with inferior arrows.

Now with the cooperation of the Zhang family, bows and arrows should also provide a part. Although the salt and iron control of the imperial court is very strong, not to mention the Zhang family, the troops of any family are very well equipped.

If the Zhang family had a huge ship intercepting on the river, and there were barbarian arrows on both sides at the same time, maybe the fleet would be caught off guard.

Fighting a war, whether it is a big war or a small war, is to attack it unpreparedly and take it by surprise.

Now that you know the enemy's strategy, think about how to deal with it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zilong and Shu have talked about it," Xu Shu almost told him about the night attack on the mountain wind: "The Zhao family is also often used to bandits, and they are all used to night attacks. ”

"On the barbarians' side, they can't guarantee food, let alone salt? Therefore, Shu concluded that eight or nine out of ten of them had night blindness, and that night raids were our only option. ”

As soon as his words came out, Jingxiang and everyone had a sad face.

Salt is transported from the sea to Jingzhou, although it is cheap by water, and it is peeled layer by layer along the way, and it costs 800-1000 yuan for a stone to get here.

On average, a pound of salt is about twenty or thirty yuan, and a person can eat and drink enough for 30 yuan when he goes to an ordinary wine store.

The host's table salt, which is definitely enough to supply.

As for the subordinates and the general part, some of them are very good to eat, and as for the saltiness, I can only say hehe.

And the main forces participating in the war are obviously the troops who travel with the fleet.

"It's okay!" Xu Shu and Zhao Yun exchanged glances: "The troops from Jingzhou should protect the fleet." The Zhao family is accustomed to night battles! ”

Chen Dao, who was on the side, heard that there was going to be a war, and he felt that the blood in his body was boiling.
