In the long corridor of western Liaoning, Shixun marched all the way, set up military stations and grain cantonments all the way, and set up a total of ten forts and six forts, ranging from 50 to 300 soldiers and civilians stationed in each country. He asked Shi Jun and others to transport grain at different stations, which could reduce the fatigue of the soldiers, and once something went wrong, it was also convenient to circle the person responsible.

Sima Yi sat in Jixian County, collected grain and grass from various counties, and successively transported it to the East; It is Jun in Linyu, which is the first stop to enter the West Liaoning Corridor; Dian Wei is in Yangle, guarding the tail of the grain road. In addition, there are seven "pirate ships" converted from merchant ships cruising back and forth on the sea - the Gongsun family sent large boats to carry troops and plunder the grain routes, and to be honest, Shixun was not very afraid.

As expected by Xiao Ji, if Hongfu didn't even have this kind of vigilant arrangement, then it was better to go home early and pick up the child, don't be embarrassed by coming to Liaodong.

However, on the battlefield, the shape is ever-changing, and it is not a video game, as long as the commander sees it and the hand can do it, and the negligence of his soldiers may lead to a completely passive battle. is like Guan Yuyun Chang later, he didn't leave troops in Jiangling, nor did he set up a cantonment to monitor Jiangdong's movements, but his vigilance was a little worse, and he was crossed the river by Lu Meng in white clothes and copied the back road.

Of course, this incident is not accidental, and Guan Yu, as the coach, is also to blame. First, Guan Yu himself despised the enterprising spirit of Eastern Wu, because the front line was tight, and the rear defenders were transferred away one after another, and the Jiangling City and the camps along the river were relatively empty, otherwise even if Lu Meng could cross the river and deceive one or two tunbao, he might not be able to advance Jiangling City so quickly. Second, since Guan Yu himself has this attitude, his generals are generally arrogant. The rear defenders were loose. No one paid attention to Soochow at all.

The same is true today. Shi Xun couldn't say that he was as strong as a bamboo all the way, and he basically didn't encounter any stubborn resistance, so the morale of the whole army was very high, but he was a little bit underestimated by the enemy, thinking that the contraction of Liaodong was completely afraid to fight with us - theoretically yes, it was indeed not daring. for I thought that you had a hundred thousand.

The second is that the sailors cruising on the southern side of the Liaoxi Corridor are not really forbidden sailors after all, but only temporary requisitioned merchant fleets.

This fleet, the one who is in charge, that is to say, the "commander of the fleet", the surname Wei follows the word, and he is originally a concubine with a certain surname in Quanzhou. The concubine has no status, and the family does not expect him to become an official in the future, so simply. Give you a sum of money, and you go into business. That's it. This Wei Zhizhi built a ship and went to sea, and began a trading career with Liaodong and Dengzhou. It was because of Wang Song's recommendation that he took the line of Shixun.

This time, it was Xun who temporarily requisitioned seven merchant ships to protect the grain, and wanted to pick a "fleet commander" to come out, but he didn't run, it could only be Wei Yinzhi. Because the other shipowners were pure merchants, the social status in this era was relatively low, and only Wei Xun was born into a scholarly family. Shixun himself has never looked down on merchants, and the question is that you can't let a scholar's son listen to the command of a merchant, right? Besides, can you command?

However, the character of this Commander Wei is more businessman than a businessman, greedy for money and profit, and he only recognizes Brother Kong Fang in his two eyes - anyway, no matter how hard he tries, it is impossible for him to really be valued by the family, and restore his status as a scholar, so he can simply be a businessman completely, earn a lot of money, and eat and drink freely within the scope of etiquette and law for the rest of his life.

Let's say that this time when he went out to sea to cruise, Wei Xun was quite conscientious at first, but when he heard that Shi Xun was about to drive to the edge of the Great Liao River, Wei Xun was not calm, and quickly summoned all the shipowners to come over to discuss, saying that seeing that Wang Shi was like a bamboo, Liaodong was just around the corner, but we just dangled on this sea, wasting manpower and money, and it didn't play much role. Even if we win the battle in front, we don't have any credit, even if the envoy has a reward, it won't be much-we're going to lose a lot this time.

The owners of the ship talked a lot, so they asked Wei Jun, what do you think? Wei Xun smiled: "I know that all the monarchs are secretly hiding their wealth in the boat. "You've got a lot of cargo hidden on board, and you're ready to find an opportunity to trade with someone, right? Don't deny it, because that's what I did - "Sail Liaodong and trade with it?" During the war, I expected that the Liao people would be short of salaries and would be able to reap great profits. "This is a good opportunity to make war money!

Some shipowners raised doubts, saying that there was a war ahead, and if we go to trade now, will the Liaodong people simply detain our ship? Wei Xun shook his head: "You are more worried, but the cloud is from Dengzhou, not from Youzhou, why hurt?" Moreover, many of our ships have armaments in them, and all our sailors are brave, and if they have any other intentions, they will kill them and return captive. ”

Liaodong is far away, hukou is scarce, and the land is barren - in fact, it is not really barren, but it is not developed enough - and the bulk of the Gongsun family's financial income comes from maritime trade. There are many routes of maritime trade, the heaviest of which is the commercial exchanges with the Central Plains, mainly in You, Qing, Deng, Xuan, Hai, Xu and other prefectures, as for the trade with Sanhan and even the Wa Kingdom, it is not even a fraction of it. Therefore, even if all the above-mentioned areas are under the control of the Cao family, and Liaodong is now at war with the Cao family, it is unlikely that the Cao family's merchant ships will be seized and the source of trade will be cut off.

Therefore, it is the Youzhou soldiers who are fighting with Liaodong now, as long as we don't say that they are from Youzhou, won't we have it?

Besides, it was Xun who recruited these merchant ships to cover the back route, so he provided them with a lot of weapons and equipment. According to Wei Xun's idea, if the local officials in Liaodong dare to do any wrongdoing, we can kill his mother, grab the goods and run away; If Liaodong sends a large army over - will they be able to go to sea? Even if the other party has a sea boat, but we still have a fire pot and a shooting rod on the ship, who is afraid of whom?

There are also ship owners who hesitate, saying that we are leaving suddenly, and in the future, the king will be reprimanded, how to deal with it? Wei Xun said with a smile: "The envoy is not a person who has the eye of a thousand miles, but you and I don't say it, how can I know it?" "When the time comes, we will say that the ship is a little farther away from the shore by the wind, and the fort on land will not be seen for a few days, won't it?

Merchants are all profit-seeking, especially the merchants of this era, Confucian scholars and doctors do not regard them as the same class at all, and even think that they are even lower than farmers, so why should they use Confucian morality to restrain themselves and tie their hands and feet? Even if it is said that businessmen should be honest. That's also honesty on the trading floor. There is no need to be honest with the government. So the shipowners deliberated for a long time. In the end, it was unanimously decided - "Only the order of the monarch is to listen, and we should also make an alliance with blood, and do not leak today's plan." ”

So when Gongsun Mo made a plan and sent a large sea ship to transport troops to the Liaoxi Corridor to cut off Shixun's grain route, the Liaodong Ship Regiment set sail from Pingguo County to the west, and at this time Youzhou's fleet was bypassing the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula and on its way to Yushi - just staggered by.

There are about 20 large and small ships in the Liaodong Ship Group. More than 1,000 troops - the main force has to shrink to defend Xiangping and Shoushan, and it can't be taken out if there are more, just this little bit of people, and most of them are county and township guards in the south of the peninsula, and the main will be Liu Xu, the magistrate of Pingguo County. Gongsun Mo originally wanted to send more soldiers and horses, but he was advised by Xiao Ji Xiangyangyi, saying that if he wanted to succeed in a sneak attack, he really didn't need too many people, and if the sneak attack failed, it would be useless to send more. On the contrary, it thinned Xiangping's guard, so Yangyi was like dealing with an errand. I allocated this little bit of troops.

The boat group did not dare to run too far, and directly crossed Liaodong Bay and docked near Chrysanthemum Island in later generations. The fort of the Youzhou army on the shore had already been seen, but it was mistaken for its own fleet, and it was defenseless, so it was boarded by the Liaodong army and rushed in, killing more than 50 soldiers.

After winning the first battle, Liu Xu was bold, so he hurriedly sent people back by boat to report the victory, and at the same time blocked the road and set up barricades to intercept the grain team in Youzhou.

This Liu Xu is a member of the Lingzhi branch of Liaoxi, when Gongsun Du extended his power into Liaoxi, he went to vote for it, and the party attached Yangyi, and he had to accept the head of a county. This time, he was appointed as a general, one of the boat groups set sail from Pingguo, the second is that he is from Liaoxi, and he is more familiar with geography, and the third is that Yang Yi feels more at ease with his own people.

Liu Xu is quite proficient in archery and horses, and also has a certain ability to resist soldiers, but the problem is that he has few battle formations and lacks military experience. If, after he captured the fort, he pretended to be a soldier of Youzhou, and a grain team from the west came to loot it, it was possible to block the news for a relatively long time. Wait until Shixun waits for grain and grass on the left side of the front line, and waits for grain and grass on the right side, and then sends people to investigate the truth, and if he wants to open up the transportation route, he will definitely not rush, and there must be only one way to retreat. But he blocked the road with such fanfare, and the news was immediately transmitted quickly in both directions. This place is far away from Linyu and close to Yangle, Dian Wei first got the report, and in a big shock, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Shixun.

Immediately, the Dianguo Domain summoned its own troops, and the brave soldiers in Yangle City, 300 people, shouted loudly: "There is a great enemy in front of us, and the road is desperate, if we sit and wait for the king to make a plan, I am afraid that we will die in the future." If you don't fight, you will die, you will fight, or you may have a chance to survive - do you dare to kill the enemy with someone?! ”

Everyone echoed, but a few subordinates persuaded Dian Wei, saying that the lord, your old injuries have not healed, and you have difficulty moving, so you should stay in this Yangle City, and I will go and kill the thief by myself. Dian Wei glared at him and shouted: "Do you still remember that you followed Cao Gong in Yanzhou to ask Lu Bu in the past?" We are all dressed in two armors, and we abandon our spears and halberds, and the enemy's arrows are like rain and do not care. We said to you, 'Ten steps to the captives are white.'" The five steps of 'Jiyun' are white. 'I hold more than ten halberds in my hand, shouting forward, and everyone who arrives should fall down! Although my hands and feet are tired, my courage is still there, and you dare to take me lightly?! ”

Because these subordinates were originally Dian Wei's subordinates, they were also Cao Cao's personal guards, and then Dian Wei retired and became a marquis, they did not want to leave each other, so they asked to return to Dian Wei's subordinates as subordinates. Thinking that it was also a comrade-in-arms who fought together in a bloody battle back then, Dian Wei said, do you look down on me now?

"In today's army, I know that there is a 'tiger idiot', but I don't know that there is a pawn! Therefore I want to take you with you, so that they may know better! ”

"Tiger idiot" refers to Xu Yu, he joined Cao later than Dian Wei, and after Dian Wei was seriously injured and retired, he took over the position of the leader of the guard, and soon became famous. "Dian Jun under the account" refers to the fact that there was a song in Cao Ying praising Dian Wei, saying: "There is a strong man under the tent, and he carries a pair of halberds and eighty catties." "But now, who still remembers this song? To say that Dian Wei is not depressed and jealous of Xu Xu, it is simply impossible! (To be continued......)

PS: Wei Xun and Liu Xu, two new book friends appeared in the show, everyone applauded, and then guessed how long they could live......

If you want to say that the computer is cheap, it was supposed to be good, but it is a little slow to get old, so I plan to change it, but since I made this decision, the computer has given me two demon moths in three days...... I must change it tomorrow, and then organize the system, install all kinds of software, and invert the hard disk It is estimated that it will take two days, and then I will take the New Year's holiday...... People like me who write full-time work actually hate holidays the most, with a bunch of chores, busier than usual, and no time to code words at all...... So, I'm sorry guys, but I may have to take some time off. We'll see you after the Spring Festival - during the Spring Festival, I'll see if I can squeeze out time for a more time or two, I can't guarantee it......
