Sunset.

Pengze on the river.

The boat is vertical and horizontal, the war drums are bursting, the flag of Daqin is fluttering on the bow of the ship, and in the position of the stern, there is clearly a small flag with the surname of the general.

Generally speaking, the size, tonnage, and number of soldiers of the main ship are much more than the number of auxiliary ships, and Ji Bu's ship is a large ship with three floors up and down, and this kind of building ship made of giant wood in the deep mountains of the Funiu Mountains is very strong, as long as the angle is right, the sharp angle of attack of the bow can tear the opponent's belly in an instant.

Li Yuan stood on the deck with his feet on his feet, his face was a little pale, and his feet shook slightly, although the amplitude was not large, but it made people feel dizzy that they were about to vomit.

"King Wu, it's better to go back to the cabin to rest for a while, this river is stormy and stormy, and the ship will shake even more violently in a while." Ji Bu said with some concern.

"Don't get in the way, if you can't even stand this little wind and waves, the south of my Daqin will end up in the Great River." Li Yuan shook his head, holding back his discomfort and refused.

In the middle of the river, with the collision of the wind and waves, the shaking amplitude is getting bigger and bigger, but Li Yuan and the others have already passed the initial discomfort period, although their faces are still pale, but at least they can withstand the back and forth shaking of the boat in a short time.

The river breeze is blowing.

Rushing to the face.

In the spring of March, several swiftlets cross the water surface, bring up one or two droplets, it looks quite a little "autumn water is a color of the long sky, and the lonely goose flies together with the sunset". This kind of endless, vast sea of water and sky scene makes people feel nostalgic and happy.

The place where Ji Bu chose to practice water warfare was the confluence of Pengze and the Great River, and also the entrance of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River in later generations. Within a radius of 100 miles, this place is full of water, and once the ship is in distress, it is simply irretrievable.

On the surface of the water, the Jiujiang Naval Army was divided into two groups, one from south to north, and the other from north to south, the officers and men on the two fleets shouted to constantly boost their morale, and the arrowless arrows flew down in mid-air, and the two sides were even more red-eyed when they joined the battle. I can't wait to devour the other party.

"King Wu, how are these Jiujiang disciples of the last general?" Looking at the long faces of the athletes, Ji Bu was also proud. Li Yuan did not give Feng Xuan an explanation in Nanjun, but directly transferred to Jiujiang County, which made Ji Bu very excited, if he grasped it well, the main general of this river crossing battle would not be able to escape.

Without waiting for Li Yuan to answer, he heard a faint shout on the downstream river in the distance: "Brother Ji." Why didn't this army exercise call me Lao Peng, you and I are in the same river, and it just happened to cut a bit? ”

Ji Bu's face turned red when he heard this loud shout. Zhiwu said: "King Yuwu, this must be General Peng Yue from Donghai County?" ”

Li Yuan smiled faintly and said disapprerovingly: "Peng Yue is here, then wait a little longer——。 Let's see how his sailors are doing? ”

On this southern tour, he mainly inspected Feng Xuan, Ji Bu, and Peng Yue, and now Peng Yue took the initiative to come up. It also saved him the trouble of going to Donghai County again.

Peng Yue's fleet went up the river from downstream.

Fang Cai only heard from a distance that the scout who reported the news said that Ji Bu's navy was performing on the river, so he suddenly shouted loudly to show his identity and prevent unnecessary misunderstandings between them.

When it was approaching, Peng Yue saw that Li Yuan's Daxu was also here, and he hurriedly jumped over from his boat and rushed over on a small sampan.

Peng Yue is already forty-five or six years old.

This age is the age of a man from prosperity to decline, if there is no outstanding achievements in these two years, Peng Yue will only be able to retire in the post of Donghai County Guard, and with the continuous emergence of young generals and officials in the future, it is really difficult to estimate how long he can maintain his qualifications in office.

Therefore, while he still has energy, he worked hard to win the opportunity of this southern expedition, which is Peng Yue's longing desire.

Peng Yue jumped upstairs on the boat, saw Li Yuan's appearance, and before he could stand firmly, he knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general, Peng Yue, the commander of Donghai County, see King Wu!" ”

Compared with the arrogance and disdain on his face when he first met Li Yuan, Peng Yue's respectful attitude towards Li Yuan now can be described as a 180-degree turn.

"Haha, sure enough, General Peng is here, this king is familiar with the voice, this time to inspect Jiangzuo, the next place to go is Donghai County, now you happen to arrive, but it also saves a lot of hard work." Li Yuan smiled and helped Peng Yue up and said.

Peng Yue, Yingbu, Han Xin, and known as the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty, however, none of these three people had a haode end, Liu Bang in order to clear the obstacles and threats to the Liu family, at the end of the Chu-Han War, that is, began to crusade against dissidents of the military action, as a result, Han Xin was booby-trapped, Yingbu rebellion was destroyed, Peng Yue was the worst, simply made into human meat soup by Lu Pheasant, and sent the broth to all the princes, let them taste one by one.

This kind of extermination of humanity also made the generals who had followed Liu Bang to fight thousands of miles in the early Han Dynasty deviate from morality one by one, if they didn't want to be killed, they could only rebel, and the result of the rebellion was still to be killed. In such a vicious circle, when the Huns invaded on a large scale, Liu Bang could only take his group of Peixian cronies and brothers into battle.

As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other.

Peng Yue, a person who has the posture of a hero, looked away at the beginning, and looked down on Li Yuan, but now in the face of the strong momentum of the Qin State, he is completely convinced.

Peng Yue's Qin army in the East China Sea came this time, there were 20 boats, and the number was not much, about 1,000 people, but according to Peng Yue, in the Moling area of Jiangzuo, there was the main force of the East China Sea army, and its strength had swelled to nearly 15,000 people, and a considerable part of them were the remnants of the British and Bu army that Peng Yue had absorbed.

The robber family.

After the defeat of Yingbu, the rest of the troops scattered, a small part surrendered to Western Chu, zuihou became one of the Chu army, and more of the troops returned to Daze Dajiang, however, with the strength of the Qin State, the Qin army's attack on the robbers has also been strengthened, and the life of the Kou is very unsatisfactory, this time Peng Yue recruited troops in Donghai County, and after thinking about it, they took their brothers to defect.

Compared to the newly recruited young and strong. The immediate combat power of Peng Yue's bandit armament is outstanding, just looking at the momentum of Peng Bu's more than 1,000 people and more than 20 warships rampage in front of Ji Bu's 100 big ships, it is self-evident who is more powerful.

Integrating the various units of the Qin army and navy along the river, the total strength of the total strength is about 30,000 people, and there are no less than 400 warships.

——。

Peng Yue rushed to Jiujiang and asked Li Yuan to save the line to the left of the river, and Li Yuan, who had confidence, also took the opportunity to convene an emergency military meeting before the battle of crossing the river in the six counties of Jiujiang County.

Present at the meeting were: Jiujiang County Shou Jibu, Donghai County Shou Peng Yue, Wu Jun, Huiji County Shou Jiang Yu, and Nanjun Shou Feng Xuan. At the same time, Cheng Zhou Yin of Huiji County, Chen Xuan, the county lieutenant of Nanyang County, Luan Bu, Wang Huang, and Man Qiuchen, who were responsible for the follow-up support, also arrived one after another.

Judging from the origin of these Qin generals, most of them are the generals of the anti-Qin princes in Kwantung, and most of them are Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's old troops, and only Feng Xuan and Jiang Yu are from the original Qin people in Guanzhong.

However, now that the Kwantung princes have been wiped out, everyone is a member of the Qin State, and there is no need to trace the past again, this time it is important to discuss how to deal with the battle of crossing the river. And let the soldiers of the Qin army adapt to the humid and stuffy jungle environment in the south as soon as possible, in this regard, the generals from the south also expressed their opinions, so that Li Yuan had a feeling of being ignored because he couldn't interject.

Qin State Policy. Because of the Huns, the long-term emphasis on the north and the neglect of the south, even these southern generals with them have suffered enough from the lack of baggage logistics supplies.

Among them, Zhou Yin and Jiang Yu, who have already set foot in Jiangdong, have the greatest opinions. Duke Ding was defeated, which was also the first major defeat of the Qin army since successive battles, and 3,000 soldiers were buried in the wilderness valley. The expenses such as cowardice and other expenses are still secondary, and the most important thing is that this defeat made the Jiangdong Qin army unable to raise its head in front of the other departments.

This time, Li Yuan's southern tour brought a signal that he was going to cross the river to attack the Baiyue tribes south of the river, how could these southern Qin generals not rejoice.

After five consecutive days of heated discussions, Zuihou's river-crossing operation Jihua out of the cage, Peng Yue unexpectedly with strong strength and the excellent performance of his subordinates robbers, as the main general of the southern army of Qin, his army will be Jibu, Luan Bu two troops about 20,000 people, more than 300 warships, the army from Jiujiang County along Pengze, Ganshui up, the front of the front, pointing directly at the Meijuan nest located in Wuling.

Capturing the thief and capturing the king, Mei Juan can be called the backbone of the three anti-Qin shili, and his Wuling tribe is also the elite of the Baiyue tribes, Peng Yue takes him as an opponent, and it is precisely this that he takes a fancy to.

In addition to Peng Yue's main force, in the Nanjun area, in order to cooperate with Peng Yue's attack, Feng Xuan's Nanjun naval army will launch a feint attack on Changsha at the same time, and in order to enhance the strength of the attack, Chen Feng and Man Qiuchen are the deputy generals of this Qin army's offensive force, leading about 10,000 county soldiers from Nanyang County and Sanchuan County to follow up.

Chen and Manqiu had no objection to this arrangement, although Feng Xuan's youth was relatively young, he was Li Yuan's descendant, and he had the record of defeating Liu Bang, the king of Han, in the Battle of Jingnan.

As for the direction of Jiangdong, Jiang Yu continued to recruit soldiers in the areas of Wu County and Huiji County, and trained newly recruited soldiers in the area of Taihu Lake, putting on a posture of the Wuzhu tribe that was ready to attack the Minyue area at any time.

The war drums of the southern expedition "dong dong" sounded, with Li Yuan's order, the whole territory of Qin was quickly mobilized, and on the galloping roads leading to the south, the busy transport and baggage teams shuttled back and forth, making people feel a nervous suffocation feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

March 21.

Peng Yue's fleet set off from Peng Zekou in Jiujiang County, several warships lined up, Daqin's black flag rolled over in the bow and stern, like dark clouds covering the sun, the soldiers on the deck were like forests, swords and guns were dazzling, making people feel a little awe.

The point on the bank of the river will be on the stage.

Li Yuan handed over the tiger talisman to Peng Yue's hand, and then patted the old man when Liang first met, more than ten years of control, Peng Yue's temples faintly showed a few strands of white hair, however, Peng Yue's face was very ruddy, and a pair of eyes were full of excitement.

"The horizontal knife is immediate, only I am General Peng! Coming to Japan, it is time to look forward to triumph! Li Yuan said loudly.

"The last general——, the last general swears here, and he should do his best to live up to the trust of the king of martial arts! Peng Yue's lips moved, and after bowing, he strode onto the ship.

Judging from Li Yuan's gaze, Peng Yue's shoulders have been trembling slightly, not only Peng Yue alone, but also the thousands of soldiers in the Southern Expedition Qin Army, looking at Li Yuan with extra eagerness.

The man's fame will be taken immediately.

This time, Li Yuan gave these former robbers the opportunity to correct their names, perhaps with the merits of this battle, they could get rid of the days of living and drifting, and become admirable princes and generals. (To be continued......)
