If you want to go up the river, you need a boat, and it just so happens that Zhang Guowei is there, and the boat is very easy to solve.

Shen Tingyang is a capable person and a loyal person for the country, Emperor Chongzhen once gave Shen Tingyang a comment, which is like this: "The officials are as good as Shen Tingyang, how difficult is it to govern the world!" This comment is enough to make Shen Tingyang glorious for a lifetime, and even future generations will be proud of him.

Zhou Yuji borrowed a boat to go north, there is no problem, there is no problem at all, Shen Tingyang knows Zhou Yuji, this famous general who dominates the world has rare defeats, and he does not lack credibility and loyalty to the country. It is not false that tens of thousands of people won a big victory in the battle of thousands of people, even if Li Zicheng has an army of nearly one million, he can block it in Shanxi, lend the boat to Zhou Yuji, there is nothing to say, Shen Tingyang agreed very happily.

This is the moment I want, the moment of emptiness.

The July of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen was very hot, braving the scorching heat, Zhou Huchen began to act, he dispatched 5,000 cavalry, plus 3,000 musketeers, 1,000 sword and shield men, 6,000 auxiliaries, as well as more than 2,000 logistics personnel and some gunners.

Shen Tingyang's ship slowly started at the Yangzhou wharf, and fifty huge ships went up the river. These fifty ships carried those logistics auxiliaries, supplies and ammunition, and each ship was equipped with thirty musketeers and some loaders, and in order to increase the firepower of these ships, Zhou Huchen also equipped each ship with twenty mortars and corresponding gunners. The soldiers, plus the supplies and the sailors on those ships, every ship was full.

Safety is very important, these materials are also very important, and most importantly, Liu Zeqing is in Huai'an and Gao Jie is in Xuzhou. The boat goes up the canal, and these two places are the way to go.

Who dares to provoke, Zhou Huchen doesn't mind killing them, especially Gao Jie, it seems that he just let his people get out of Guazhou. This feud is settled, Gao Jie dares to attack Huang Degong directly, then he will have the courage to attack himself, in fact, Zhou Huchen doesn't mind very much, he doesn't mind crushing this future traitor army, he is ready.

It was a rainy year, and the water level in the canal was still not high as it entered July.

The cavalry was in front, and the infantry was in the rear, along the canal. The fleet, on the other hand, sailed up the canal, and the sailors on these boats were familiar with sailing in the canals. In order to cooperate with the foot soldiers, the speed of the boat was not fast, and on the first day, it entered the territory of Gaoyou, and on the second day, it crossed the Jinhu Lake to reach Baoying.

Crossing Hongze Lake, the army reached Huai'an in four days.

Liu Zeqing, who got the news, was quite face-saving, he knew Zhou Yuji, although he dared to rob Shen Tingyang, but he was obviously very jealous of Zhou Yuji. Although Liu Zeqing did not come forward in person, he still sent a deputy general soldier to ask for warmth, and politely asked if he needed help.

Without any trouble, some food was replenished in Huai'an, some silver was left for Liu Zeqing, and the army set off again. When the huge army entered the territory of Xuzhou, it was already the 16th of July in the 17th year of Chongzhen.

After just entering the boundary of Xuzhou, there is a place called Shuanggou, the canal happens to have a bay in Shuanggou, and there is a lock and dam in this place. If the ship wants to pass through the canal, it must let this Shuanggou lock open, send someone to notify the opening of the gate, and Zhou Huchen led the team to continue to Shuanggou unceremoniously.

When Zhou Huchen led the team forward, the guards of the Shuanggou Gate were also "communicating" with the people sent by Zhou Huchen.

This is Gao Jie's territory, and this kind of "exchange" is obviously not going well, and this "exchange" continues when Zhou Huchen's foot and horses and boats arrive at the Shuanggou Gate at the same time.

"Get ready!"

There is nothing to say, the so-called preparation is to let the soldiers hurry to pierce the armor and make pre-battle preparations. The weather was too hot, and in order to increase the speed of the new army, the soldiers did not wear armor. Zhou Huchen knew that the soldiers of Shuanggou Gate had gone to report the news of his arrival, and this news might be a surprise to Gao Jie.

"Do you really want to fight? Does this Gao Jie have the guts? Liu Qi, who went to war with the army again, asked, with the prestige of this army, does this Gao Jie dare to do it?

"This is Gao Jie's turf, and it's his only chance!" Zhou Huchen replied with a smile, and Liu Qi seemed to see a hint of sinisterness.

"It's so boring to kill your own allies!" Liu Qizhi shook his head, Zhou Huchen's judgment has always been wrong, Gao Jie may not really give up this opportunity. But that's too much to overwhelm.

"Allies? Who knows what the future holds" Zhou Huchen didn't elaborate, this is tantamount to a conclusion, but unfortunately, Liu Qi doesn't quite understand.

As Zhou Huchen judged, in Xuzhou City, Xingping Bo Gaojie was enjoying the cool air. As soon as he heard that Zhou Huchen's army was coming to Xuzhou, he immediately jumped up: "Zhou Xiaohu dared to come to Xuzhou, and the erector bullied me too much!" Come on, give me some generals, gather soldiers and horses! ”

Gao Jie did not hesitate, he began to gather the army, of course, this is not to welcome Zhou Huchen, but to teach Zhou Huchen a lesson.

The first to run over was the high-ranking nephew Li Benshen, who gave Gao Jie a salute, and Li Benshen hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle, this is Zhou Yuji's army!" Zhou Xiaohu personally led the army, although Zhou Xiaohu was unprovoked, but we can't use swords and soldiers! ”

Of course, Gao Jie understands that what Li Benshen said is good, but what he means is that he may not be the opponent of Zhou Huchen this time, and that Zhou Huchen seems to have never suffered defeat. But how could Gao Jie swallow the breath of being humiliated by Zhou Huchen, not to mention, this time it is equivalent to being bullied, he didn't give Zhou Huchen a little color, how to control his subordinates in the future, this face is gone.

"Don't say it, since Zhou Huchen, the yellow-haired boy, is here, I can't help but give him a little color, Ben Shen will gather soldiers and horses, the whole army will be dispatched, and we will set off immediately!" This opportunity is rare, Gao Jie doesn't want to let it go, isn't it more than 10,000 people? Although Zhou Yuji's soldiers are strong, there should be no problem with using several times the number of troops by himself.

Li Benshen couldn't continue to persuade him, this uncle has always been above the top, and today he is already more polite to himself, and if he continues, I'm afraid he will only attract a scolding.

Gao Jie urgently gathered troops in Xuzhou, and when Gao Jie personally led the large army to Shuanggou Gate, Zhou Huchen was already impatient. It was very easy to obtain the Shuanggou Gate, Zhou Huchen ordered to do it, and hundreds of Gao Jie's soldiers guarding the Shuanggou Gate were very brave, and these people bravely ran away.

Of course, there are also those who are braver, they throw away their weapons directly, and then kneel and shout: "Down, we down!" ”

Who can such an army fight with?

Well, Zhou Huchen is used to it, and since he has descended, he will no longer embarrass these people who eat mixed rice, and directly send someone to tie them up and throw them behind his team.

"How many troops does this Gaojie have?" Zhou Huchen turned his head and asked Liu Qi:

"According to Huang Shuai, there are about 70,000 or 80,000 people in a patchwork, and it is said that there are 20,000 people who can fight." Liu Qi replied very easily, and his tone was a little contemptuous. can deal with Jiannu, can make Li Zicheng fart and pee, where will he look at a Gao Jie who runs away.

"A platoon of guns is estimated to be solved, oh yes, Gao Jie won't bring artillery over, right?" Zhou Huchen was a little worried, not worried about failure, but because he was troublesome, if Gao Jie brought the artillery, he would also have to unload the cannon on the ship.

Liu Qi replied without even hesitating: "Xuzhou is still nearly thirty miles away from here, and I don't know when the artillery will be transported?" Can Gao Jie wait? ”

Zhou Huchen was relieved: "That's good, the terrain here is good, and Uncle Seven will be able to walk around in a while!" ”
