On 13 February, the East China Sea army plundered the land of Wuyue, and all the money and grain of the young and strong returned to Dinghai, while Yuyao, Zhenhai, Jiaxing, Haining, and Pinghu were all unlucky, and only Yuhang and Huiji were protected by the water camp and were not injured.

-- "Information Governance Guide; Yongji IV

Upstairs in the smoke and rain, the heads of all the families were summoned, as well as several Jiaxing celebrities, were forcibly invited by the Yongjun, I thought it was the Yongjun generals called, but the owner was actually a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, originally these family owners had a contempt and resentment in their hearts, but the young man spoke decently, and knew all the details of Jiaxing people, and in the speech, it was even more respectful, but for a moment, it made everyone let go of their hostility. The young man ordered a banquet to ask everyone about the geography of Jiaxing, everyone was under the fence, how dare not answer, and then there was a heart to frustrate the young man's spirit, looking for an opportunity to ask difficult questions, and the result was that Yanyulou became a place for high talk. Although this young man has no insight and insight, he is calm, eloquent, and very good at mobilizing the atmosphere, which makes the building happy until dusk, and these family masters and celebrities are still unsatisfied. The young man ordered the candle to continue the banquet, and everyone did not refuse very much.

Although Jing Xin is the best of the young men of the Jiaxing family, he was not qualified to participate in such a conversation, but Jing claimed that the head of the family was sick and it was inconvenient to come, but it was Jing Xin's third uncle Jing Xunqing who came on order, Jing Xunqing was worried that this would inevitably offend Yongjun, but seeing Jing Xin here, and Huo Cong seemed to be very serious about Jing Xin, Jing Xunqing had an idea, and faked Jing Changqing's order and asked Jing Xin to go to the banquet for the head of the family. Huo Cong was very happy when he heard this, and even deliberately let Jing Xin sit beside him. If you talk about the status of the Jing family, although it is quite prominent in Jiaxing, there are two families that can be compared with it, Huo Cong treats Jing Xin like this, of course, it is a special honor, but Jing Xin only feels that everyone is full of doubts when they look at him, and they are uncomfortable in front of everyone's eyes, so they are also silent during the banquet. But the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, although Huo Cong was humble and peaceful, he faintly controlled the overall situation, and the Jiaxing family had already entered into it without knowing it.

As the night deepened, those family heads began to feel a little uneasy, a banquet would inevitably drag on too long at this time, but looking at the main seat, the young man surnamed Huo was still in high spirits and was in high spirits, these family heads began to worry, and then thought about the Yongjun sergeants who were serving as attendants around them, all of them were eyeing each other, and they couldn't help but worry in their hearts, they also knew that this young man must have borrowed something to summon himself, but no matter what he wanted, he should have announced it at this time, why did he drag it out and refused to disperse. In this way, everyone couldn't help but start thinking crankily, but most of these people were old and cunning people, so they naturally didn't dare to make the atmosphere embarrassing, and they tried their best to find some topics to talk about, so sleepy that they didn't dare to show it even for a day.

It wasn't until the early morning of the second day that Huo Cong got up and said with a smile: "I really benefited a lot from talking with you all nights in the evening, but it's a pity that there is no banquet in the world, and the long night is long, and there will be an end to it." ”

The head of the Jun family, who is quite famous in the Jiaxing family, forcibly opened his red eyes, got up and said: "It is our luck to be able to drink with Counselor Huo, Counselor is young and heroic, if there is advice, even if you speak freely, we will definitely do our best." He couldn't help it, instead of waiting for Yongjun to turn his face, he took the initiative to ask for the price, in his mind, if he sent gold, silver, money and food, he should be able to avoid the disaster of killing, and it was impossible for Yongjun to stay in Jiaxing longer.

Huo Cong has already been rewarded, Mr. has left Jiaxing, and overnight, Yongjun has registered all the civilians of the Jiaxing family, just waiting for his own order, so he is not pretentious, solemnly said: "Huo was ordered by the Marquis of Jinghai to take the people of Wuyue to fill in the sea, you are all virtuous people in Jiaxing, please help." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was at first at a loss, and then their eyes showed a look of horror, and they all looked at Huo Cong dumbfounded, and they all showed a look of disbelief, this kind and ordinary young man suddenly became a poisonous snake and beast in their eyes. Huo Cong said with a smile: "All the clansmen have been dressed up on the road, and the cars, horses, boats and boats in Jiaxing have been requisitioned by our army, so you will not have to work hard along the way." ”

Jing Xin was silent, but when he heard this, he was also filled with anger, and he got up and raised his voice: "Yongjun claims to be the master of the king, how can he do this unrighteous thing and kidnap the people into the sea, this is a bandit act, disturbing the people so far, why do you treat the people of the world?" ”

Huo Cong said calmly: "The two countries are fighting, doing everything, if they slaughter the people of Wu Yue, they can also achieve the same effect, but my Dayong Tianzi is benevolent, and I don't want to kill the people of Li Shu, and it is a foregone conclusion to take the people of Wu Yue to fill in the sea, and the lesser of the two evils, Brother Jing should understand." Although his tone was flat, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes, but it seemed to be killed, Jing Xin was stunned, Jing Xunqing had already gently pulled his sleeve to prevent him from continuing to speak, Jing Xin had to sit down in a gloomy manner.

This time, the Yongjun invaded Wuyue, which was already unexpected by the Southern Chu government and the opposition, but even if Dinghai was captured, the family officials of Wuyue and Wuyue counties did not think that the Yongjun would land and fight, after all, the Yongjun army had no foundation in the land of Wuyue, and if it followed the pirates to go ashore and plunder, it would inevitably lose the demeanor of a great country. Unexpectedly, the person in charge of the East China Sea Army had already been a pirate, and there was an unruly Chu county marquis as the mastermind, and he actually made the decision to take the people of Wu Yue to fill in the sea in order to confront Southern Chu for a long time. If he changed to Dayong's other generals to preside over Dinghai, he would fight in a different way, but Jiang Haitao was not only convinced by Jiang Zhe, but also adhered to the style of piracy, and after he defected to Yong, he was given the position of marquis by Emperor Yong, but he inherited his father's shadow and did not make military achievements, which is also a special case for Dayong, so he also wants to prove himself with his achievements, so he will spare no effort to adopt this kind of war strategy that may be criticized.

After a while, there was a noisy sound from downstairs in the smoke and rain, Jing Xin heard the sound regardless of the Yongjun sergeant holding the blade on the side, and looked down in front of the window, only to see that there were Yongjun soldiers on both sides of the street entering the houses, according to the roster, some young men and women were tied with ropes and rushed out, the old and weak women and children followed behind and cried, but they were forced to retreat by the Yongjun sword, Jiaxing City was in chaos, Jing Xin only felt at a loss in his heart. At this time, someone called his name and surname loudly, he turned around, and saw that there were only those depressed family heads and Yongjun sergeants upstairs in Yanyu, and the young man in green clothes, Huo Cong, was nowhere to be seen, and the person who called him was a sergeant, but he was urging him to get dressed up.

Southern Chu Tongtai 12 years, Yonglong eight years, for the people of Wuyue land, it can be said to be a catastrophe, Yuyao, Zhenhai, Jiaxing, Haining, Pinghu was taken away 500,000 young and strong, including the family clans around the country, the famous people of the Han family, all kinds of craftsmen, the means of the Yongjun can be said to be very decisive and ruthless, the population of Wufu County is nearly three million, but one-sixth of it was taken away by the Yongjun, including nearly 50,000 family members, famous people from the cold family, 100,000 craftsmen, and the rest are young and strong men and women. When Lu Can led the Jiujiang Water Camp to Jiaxing through the Jiangnan Canal, the Yongjun left less than six hours, Lu Can's other troops will go to take over the Yuhang Water Camp, and he led the army to pursue the Yongjun, but the Yongjun has already planned carefully and acted quickly, Lu Can can only chase the Yongjun to Yanguan, but he can only watch the Yongjun calmly cross the sea, leaving only Lu Can to sigh, and can't help but marvel at the ruthless and clever means of the person in charge of the Yongjun, you must know that the retreat of the Yongjun is not a light departure, accompanied by both looted money and grain and coerced people, The Yongjun was able to retreat into the sea without dragging mud and water, how could Lu Can not be amazed.

Standing on the shore, looking at the ships of the Yongjun sailing away, Lu Can sighed hatefully, but he was helpless, and at this time, the Yuhang Water Battalion who got his order was late, Lu Can knew that the Yuhang Water Camp had always been self-contained, and he had long lost the courage to go to sea to fight, but he could only lightly reproach a few words, the matter had come to this, and the reorganization of the Yuhang Water Camp still needed the assistance of these generals. In the next day, Lu Can could only reorganize the water camp while reorganizing the coastal fortress to prevent the Yongjun from landing and looting again, the land of Wu Yue was hit hard, leaving countless broken portals, the pain of losing relatives and the people of Wu Yue, who were worried about the retaliation of their relatives, did not support the formation of the righteous army, if it were not for Lu Can's prestige, and persuaded Wu Yue's surviving family to protect themselves, and more martial arts knights raised their arms and shouted, full assistance, I am afraid that the formation of the righteous army will be half the effort. Just when Lu Can started Wuyue coastal defense, a news came to his ears, which made his eyebrows deep, this news was that Hou Jiangzhe of Dayongchu County was actually in Dinghai, and he once went to Jiaxing to worship his deceased mother.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news spread far and wide, but it has spread for a few days. Jiang Zhe went to Jiaxing to worship the spirit, although this matter is secret, but it is not a trace, after the fact, there are people who have seen clues in detail, and they found out about it, not to mention that there are hidden Nanchu spies, they have mastered Jiang Zhe's whereabouts, but they don't dare to come forward to stop the assassination, after all, the Yong army is powerful, and the guards around Jiang Zhe are very powerful.

Although Nanchu reprimanded and insulted Jiang Zhe in unison, in fact, there were several different opinions in secret, some regarded him as a prince and a thief without a king and a father, and some secretly envied him for being rich and glorious, but in general, there were not many people who could know that Jiang Zhe was powerful. First, the upper echelons of Southern Chu deliberately concealed Jiang Zhe's ability, and secondly, although Jiang Zhe had the position of marquis, most people thought that Emperor Yong rewarded him for his succession, or thought that it was because of Princess Changle. However, for the core figures of the military and government of Southern Chu, they will not despise Jiang Zhe, even Shang Weijun, who insists on adopting the strategy of fooling the people, will not despise him. Now that Jiang Zhe has appeared in Jiaxing, he is obviously a military counselor in the Eastern Navy, so that the main direction of attack of the Yongjun army must be Wu Yue, otherwise how could Jiang Zhe be in Dinghai, even if it is Lu Can, he will not believe that Jiang Zhe will go to Dinghai in order to worship his dead mother.

Of course, after the news spread, the various military and political forces of Southern Chu were not immediately convinced, they were all trying to collect relevant information, Jiang Zhe's identity is different, if he appears in Dinghai, it will show the next strategy of the Yongjun, anyone can think that Jiang Zhe's re-entry into the army must be the intention of Emperor Yong, if it is not for the battle of Southern Chu, what else can make this Hanyuan hermit with a transcendent status in Dayong come to Jiangnan? Lu Can first asked people to look for clues in Jiaxing, and finally confirmed that Jiang Zhe had indeed appeared in Jiaxing. Not to mention that all the people of the Jing clan in Jiaxing disappeared, some villagers saw some black-clothed Yongjun coming and going, and the shopkeeper of Yanyulou survived, and told all the things that happened in Yanyulou, although I don't know who the young counselor is, but just listen to what he did, Lu Can has faintly thought of this person's identity, and after learning that the young counselor's name is Huo Cong through intelligence, Lu Can knows in his heart that Huo Cong is still young, and Dayong is full of talents, unless Jiang Zhe goes to Dinghai in person, Huo Cong accompanies him, it is possible to let this young man show his talents.

On the other hand, the news that Nanchu got from within Dayong also confirmed that Jiang Zhe, the Marquis of Chu County, had disappeared for a long time, and Emperor Yong's personal visit to Hanyuan to invite him was even more boiling, and there was even news that confirmed that Jiang Zhe had indeed gone to the East China Sea.

After Shang Weijun got the same information, he immediately sent a secret order, temporarily ordering Ning Haijun Mountain to accept Lu Can's dispatch, asking Lu Can to make every effort to exterminate the Yongjun army occupying Dinghai, of course, there is also a request, Shang Weijun strictly ordered Lu Can to eradicate the trouble of his henchmen - Jiang Zhe. Shang Weijun said that although he openly and secretly accused Lu Can of having a master-apprentice relationship with Jiang Zhe, it was just to fight for power and profit, in fact, he didn't think it was the case in his heart, the Lu family had assisted the Zhao royal family for several generations, and there was no possibility of betraying the country. Regarding Jiang Zhe's status in Dayong, Shang Weijun also knows it. Although Shang Weijun has the selfishness to fight for power, he is not completely incompetent after all, he knows very well about Jiang Zhe's power, if it weren't for this, he would not have shown mercy to the Jiaxing Jing family in the past, if it wasn't for the fact that there is no room for recovery now, he may not necessarily attack the Jing family.

Now that he has determined that Dayong's main attack direction is Wu Yue, he can't take care of Ninghai's military power, although he only allows Lu Can to mobilize Ninghai's camp, instead of handing over all the military power, but he has paid a huge sacrifice for him. Lu Can could not live up to Shang Weijun's "good intentions", and he also had the same opinion, thinking that the Yongjun army's methods of looting in Wuyue were not as reckless and rude as the original East China Sea army, but precise and ruthless, Lu Can also believed that Jiang Zhe must be in Dinghai to command the Wuyue water battle. In this case, it is not possible to let the Yongjun occupy Dinghai according to the original plan, if it drags on for three years or two years, I am afraid that my elite soldiers have not yet been trained, and the Yongjun army has already occupied the two counties of Wuyue.

Because of Jiang Zhe alone, Hangzhou Bay, which might have been temporarily in a stalemate, set off a monstrous war, Shang and Lu once again gave up their previous suspicions and devoted themselves to the outside world, and the Yuhang Water Camp and the Ninghai Sea Camp joined forces to launch a fierce attack on Dinghai.

On the blue sea, a vicious battle that has just ended left countless wrecks of warships, floating corpses everywhere on the sea, drifting away with the current to the open sea, the fleets of both sides sailed in two directions, but in the middle of the day, the two sides have fought a lot, but there is no winner or loser, if you talk about water battles, only the East China Sea Army that can fight against the Wu Yue Navy is the East China Sea Army that survives in the angry sea.

Standing at the bow of the ship, feeling the cold sea breeze, Huo Cong's green clothes fluttered, his face was a little pale, and the bumpy and fast movement during the battle was a little unbearable for him, after all, he was not a Donghai sergeant who fought and sailed at sea all year round. In the distance, under the sky, seabirds flew by, and the waves rolled, covering the traces of the naval battle, Huo Cong felt a lot of emotion in his heart, thinking of the unknown teacher, and there were infinite troubles.

The kidnapping of Wu Yue was a very successful feat, but after returning to Dinghai, Huo Cong was hit on the head, and was almost stunned by the bad news, Jiang Zhe, who was supposed to return a long time ago, was nowhere to be found, only more than 100 tiger guards returned to Dinghai in despair, Jiang Haitao and Huo Cong interrogated, only to know what happened.

But it turned out that after Jiang Zhe left Jiaxing, not only did he not have the intention of returning to Dinghai, but also prepared to go north from Jiaxing, through the Jiangnan Canal to Zhenze Lake, and then through the canal to Jingkou, cross the river through Huaidong, which was controlled by Southern Chu, and turn to Xuzhou, and go to the Xiangyang battlefield. Hu Yanshou came forward to admonish, but to no avail. Jiang Zhe made it very clear that if Hu Yanshou wanted to forcibly stop him, he would let the evil shadow Li Shun take him on the road alone. The argument was entangled for a long time, and finally Hu Yanshou knew that he couldn't stop it, so he had to take a step back and ask for protection with him, and after pleading for a long time, Jiang Zhe agreed to bring five tiger guards, Hu Yanshou had to choose four strong martial arts guards to accompany him, and the other tiger guards were forced to return to Dinghai to cover Jiang Zhe's whereabouts.

After learning the details, Jiang Haitao and Huo Cong almost fainted, especially Jiang Haitao, when Jiang Zhe wanted to go south with the navy first, Emperor Yong was already quite worried, and before leaving, he wrote to Jiang Haitao, asking him to protect Jiang Zhe's safety. Huo Cong also had a headache, but after all, he was Jiang Zhe's most proud disciple, but he felt that Jiang Zhe was not a person who took risks lightly, so there must be a reason for such a decision, so he persuaded Jiang Haitao not to worry.

Those tiger guards were ordered to stay with Huo Cong temporarily, and brought Jiang Zhe's letter back, Jiang Zhe instructed the two to spread the news that he was in Dinghai, so as not to let the Southern Chu army find out that he was not in Dinghai, and explained that after the news came out, the Southern Chu army would launch a fierce attack on Dinghai, so that Jiang Haitao was careful. The two thought about it again and again, but they had to comply, in order to make the fake appearance that Jiang Zhe was still in Dinghai, Huo Cong even dyed his sideburns and appeared on the boat pretending to be Jiang Zhe.

And the onslaught of the Southern Chu army also made them suffer. Fortunately, the sharper the sword became, and in several naval battles, the Southern Chu army did not take advantage of the side, after all, most of the Southern Chu naval forces fought in inland rivers, and for naval battles, they were still inferior to the East China Sea army. The two sides were so deadlocked, fortunately, Dinghai had already established a supply base in Putuo, and seized Wu Yue's money and grain, although Ning Haijun Mountain blocked the way back to the north, but it could not take any advantage. Although Lu Can also intended to take Putuo and recapture the people of Wuyue, but first, Putuo was difficult to attack, secondly, the East China Sea Army repeatedly attacked from behind during its attacks, and the third was to capture Putuo, and wanted to transport 500,000 Wu Yue's people back to land, and it was impossible to be watched by the East China Sea Army, so in the end, Lu Can gave up this approach, and could only take the naval battle as the key, the vast blue sea, turned into a bloody battlefield, and the situation in the southeast was contained by the East China Sea Army.
