The clans in Fuzhou City took the initiative to express their allegiance, hoping that the official army could reach Fuzhou as soon as possible, Fang Zhiwen's troops were moving south from Wanling, and would soon take over Yixian, Hanxian and the hometown, and Zhixin received an order to lead his troops south to station in Fuzhou, with Fuzhou as the center, to isolate the rebels in the south of Yuzhang.

Zhixin led his troops all the way through Jingde, intending to pass through Poyang and Yuhan and then arrive in Fuzhou.

Zhixin was worried that the clan forces around this area were too sensitive and prone to conflicts, so he personally brought his own guards as the vanguard, made a forward station for the large army, paved roads and bridges along the way, explained to the local clans the crossing of the troops, and purchased food and supplies.

On this day, not long after Zhexin and his troops passed Poyang, they were caught up by several messengers who were chasing after him.

"General, General 1

"Who are you? Why are you chasing me? ”

"The general villain is a small official in Poyang City, Poyang County ordered the villain to send a letter to the general, the county order received information, Peng Hu, a water thief in Poyang Lake, and other tens of thousands of people are coming towards Poyang City, please help for the sake of tens of thousands of people in the city1

Zhixin looked at the messenger who was kneeling under the horse on one knee, and then looked at the horse with the seal of the government, stretched out his hand and said, "Is there a letter to bear?" ”

"Yes, yes! The handwritten seal of the prefectural ordinance is here1

Zhixin took the letter and looked at it carefully, and said in a harmonious voice: "Get up, I will go back to Poyang, but the broken city wall of Poyang is not conducive to holding, and the situation of the thieves is not clear. Inform the county order, and I will order the Chinese army to speed up. Reach Poyang as soon as possible. Please ask the county commander to organize people to repair the city wall and maintain law and order, and I will lead the troops to meet this Peng Hu, at least delay their time. ”

"This general, there are at least 350,000 thieves, and the general is only more than 2,000 horsemen."

"Hehe, don't worry, you don't know how to fight. Hurry back and report the news. ”

"General, the villain sends his companion back to report the news, and the villain will be a guide for the general.1

"Oh? What's your name? Are you not afraid of danger? ”

"The villain's name is Huang Gui, the general is not afraid, the villain is from Poyang City, and his family is in the city, if there is a case. The villain can't bear to live alone, if he can give up his life to save his relatives, it's worth 1 when he dies

"Good, good man! Just as you say1

Zhexin's forward then turned north and ran in the direction of Poyang Lake.

"Huang Gui, who is this Peng Hu? What are the skills? ”

"Peng Hu, this person was originally a landlord. It is said that there was a farm on the east bank of Poyang Lake, but later, I don't know what the reason, there was a conflict with the local clan, and the result was that the family was ruined, and Peng Hu died in Poyang Lake. A few years later, Peng Hu struggled with a large number of water thieves. slaughtered the clan that originally had a grudge against him, and then entrenched in Poyang Lake, becoming more and more powerful. When Sun Ce was there, he also rounded him up, but Poyang Lake was so big, he didn't catch it after all. ”

"In this way, this Peng Hu roared to gather tens of thousands, it should not be difficult to find traces, so many people want to take medicine and drink, how can there be no traces?"

"This may have something to do with the clans around Poyang, these clans are"

"Understood, forced or paid for peace, right?"

"General Wisdom 1

"But why did you take the initiative to attack Poyang this time? Has this happened before? ”

"Never, this may have something to do with the new policy that Lord Zhu is implementing, the villain thinks that if there is a change in the ownership of the land around Poyang, I am afraid that their survival will become more and more difficult, so"

"Insightful, Huang Gui, you are good1

"The general has won the award, and the villain is also hearsay, plus his own blind imagination1

"Hehe, you don't have to be like this, in Youzhou, many high-ranking officials in the city are born in small officials, and Yangzhou will implement the same policy in the future

"The general's golden and jade words are kept in mind by the villain1

The cavalry of the letter moved quickly, and after about an hour, they could already see some water.

"Is this Poyang Lake?"

"Back to the general, these are just some branch lakes of Poyang Lake, and if you go forward, there are more of this kind of terrain, and the general should not go forward, which is not conducive to cavalry action1

"If Peng Hu wants to attack Poyang, what is the best route?"

"The nearest route is, of course, a little further north in the area of Lujiazhuang, from where it is less than thirty miles from Poyang City.1

"Then go there, Yang Zhi, you take a song and speed around Lujiazhuang from the east, and I will go north along the shore of the lake, in case they come ashore somewhere else."

"No1

"General, also divide the ammonia

"Rest assured, the division of troops is to discover the enemy first, our purpose is not to defeat the enemy, but to contain, when the enemy finds out our existence will be suspicious, the more strange our actions, the more the other party will not dare to be careless, and when they understand that we don't have many people, the most precious time has been wasted, my Chinese army will rush to Poyang, and it will be no problem to annihilate Peng Hu at that time."

Huang Gui nodded as if he didn't understand, in fact, no matter what he said, Zhexin naturally had his ideas.

Two moments later, the Flying Eagle discovered the traces of the enemy army, and soon after, Yang Zhi also sent information, and sent a letter urging the horse to hurry, and finally caught up with Peng Hu's troops about twenty miles away from Poyang City.

The appearance of the two official cavalry made Peng Hu a little nervous, according to the news in Poyang City, there should not be a large number of officers and soldiers, Peng Hu just wanted to capture Poyang before the official army took over Poyang. He didn't want to go into the city to disturb the inhabitants of the city, so he just bought grain and forage from the city and sent it to the outside of the city on time, so the people in the city basically didn't know that a large number of officers and soldiers were going to cross the border.

The unlucky Peng Hu was pitted by the act of breaking the letter, of course, Peng Hu's own eyeliner level is too low, in fact. Peng Hu used to mainly manage the eyeliner in Jiujiang and Pengze, because that is where the water is abundant and oily. In a poor place like Poyang, if it weren't for being chased by Zhu Zhi's army on the river and having nowhere to go, Peng Hu wouldn't have come here!

Peng Hu has actually been in contact with the rebels in the south, when the rebels originally raised troops, someone found Peng Hu and encouraged him to rebel together. It's just that when Peng Hu made up his mind and made preparations, the rebels had already been defeated and self-extricated.

However, the rebels in the south still issued a sincere invitation, asking Peng Hu to go south to Ganxian County to discuss major matters, since Zhu Zhi vigorously began to implement the new policy, Peng Hu's survival is also more and more difficult, so he has a plan to go ashore and go south.

Of course. The attack on Poyang is also a temptation, if it goes well, it will continue to attack south, completely go ashore, if it does not go well, then continue to retreat into Poyang Lake. Then look for another way.

It's just that not long after landing, he encountered two groups of official cavalry, which made Peng Hu very uneasy, although the number of officers and troops was not large. But the sudden appearance of official cavalry in Poyang is obviously not a good sign. Peng Hu gathered his troops and wanted to see the situation, while writing to the eyeliner in the city to inquire if there was any definite news.

Zhixin drove his horse up a hill, looking at the messy water thieves gathered around the road, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, this is also called a water thief, this is a refugee!

You can't blame the letter, really! In the northern grasslands, the so-called horse thieves and bandits are all wild monsters, and they are all serious troops, although their combat effectiveness is not particularly strong, but their discipline and command are no different from those of the army.

But this Peng Hu is not a wild monster, but a serious historical figure, and his troops are not made up of wisdom, but are composed of homeless people recruited by himself and hijacked villagers, and their equipment and food are also robbed and built by themselves, including those harpoons and wooden sticks, let's be regarded as equipment.

"Huang Gui 1

"The villain is in 1

"Are you sure this is Peng Hu?"

"That's right, isn't that banner they are flying is Peng Hu, the king of Poyang?"

"But this is a water thief? It's a group of refugees! No equipment, no weapons, no formations, nothing, can this be called a troop? ”

Huang Gui smiled awkwardly, in his eyes, although these people were like refugees, they were indeed out-and-out water thieves, vicious and terrifying water thieves.

"General, this is the Water Thief 1

"All the water thieves in Poyang Lake are like this?"

"Well, the villain doesn't know, but these are indeed Poyang water thieves, and the one wearing armor and holding a big knife in the middle is Peng Hu 1

Zhixin shook his head, pursed his lips disdainfully, and said, "Herald 1."

"In 1

"Ordered Yang Zhi to go west to the lake, and if he found the ships of the water thieves, destroy them and burn them1

"No1

"General, you are"

"Huang Gui, today let you see what the real troops are, what is the elite of Youzhou! Keep up and don't leave me1

"General, you, you're not going to charge1

"Hehe, rush into battle, then you have to have a formation to rush! If you look at the rabble of these people below, do they really think that this is a battle formation? ”

"This"

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not going to die, this kind of person. Formation, Blade Formation! Trap the camp and attack 1

"Kill! Kill! Kill 1

A thousand people, but the roaring sound was like nine days of thunder, shaking the feet of all the thieves, and then they realized that it was the rumbling hooves shaking the ground.

"Formation, formation! The sword and shield soldiers step forward, the others retreat, don't mess around1

"Where are you going? Nima, you are a sword and shield soldier, give me up1

"Go up to the left and right to outflank! There is nothing to be afraid of cavalry, once it stops, it is the share of slaughter1

"Heavy crossbow strike, prepare, put 1

"Turn 1

'Rumble~'

"Sneer"

The powerful crossbow arrows like flying locusts shot at the water thieves without a head and face, and the water thieves who were equipped with almost no defense immediately fell into blood mold! To be continued...
