Chapter 258, Zhao's regret

On the merchant ship, Xiang Ba disguised himself as a servant, hunched over, standing behind Zhao Yi, holding a saber in his left hand, the spear was not brought with him, but placed in Guandu Port, after all, his identity was a servant with a spear with a good texture is very eye-catching.

At this moment, Xiang Ba was a little nervous and bowed his waist slightly, looking at the port, the most important thing is to check the ship, Xiang Ba deliberately led his cavalry to restrain the knights, but it is difficult to ensure that the other party will not see anything, in addition, if Song Liangyi or Song Ming, Li Chi, and Zhang Chuan personally lead the troops to inspect, then they are very likely to be discovered.

Xiang Ba glanced behind him without a trace, as if he noticed Sun Mu's anxious and concerned gaze.

..."The merchant ship of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce is under the port at the moment, is it inspecting the ship?" A general said to Song Liang, who had his eyes closed.

Song Liang and Li Chi stood on the harbor with their eyes closed, basking in the sun.

At this moment, it was already afternoon, and most of the day had passed since the Zhao Chamber of Commerce and others who set off in the early morning.

Song Liang opened his eyes and glanced at the more than two hundred merchant ships under the port, and waved his hand: "Let go." ”

The general was stunned: "Don't you check?" ”

Song Liang glanced at it and snorted coldly: "You have questions about my decision?" ”

"No, no!" The general shook his head in a panic, and after saluting, he hurriedly arranged.

… At this moment, the port was wide open, but no soldiers appeared, and a voice came from afar: "No need to check, enter the port quickly." ”

Xiang Ba was stunned, there was a sense of powerlessness with his fist hitting the cotton, and he was ready to fight to the death, but in the end, people didn't check it at all, bowed his waist in a low voice, lowered his head and said to Zhao Yi: "Your Zhao Chamber of Commerce has a great influence in Hebei, and you don't even need to check." ”

Zhao Yi said in a solemn whisper: "The first time! , do not inspect the goods means that there is no need to pay the entrance fee, my Zhao Chamber of Commerce will bring a huge share of the entry fee to the port of Baima every time it enters the port, followed by the commercial tax, and the non-inspection of the goods means that this time you can pay at will. ”

Xiang Ba also reacted, frowning and thinking about the strangeness, there must be content in it.

After Xiang Ba got Zhao Yi's reply, he hid in the cabin, hunched over, with his head bowed, and his face dirty, a servant who was alive.

Originally, Xiang Ba was a little resistant to this appearance, but after thinking about it, if these means can make him achieve hegemony, what if he dresses up for a while? So the mood was much more relaxed in an instant.

After the merchant ship arrived at White Horse Port, Xiang Ba stood on the ground of White Horse Port, inexplicably excited.

The two thousand cavalry disguised as slaves quickly carried the goods, and now that they were in the enemy city, they were naturally a little nervous, thinking that they would leave the White Horse Port as soon as possible after moving their things.

After only half an hour, the servants quickly carried all the belongings, and Zhao Yi also completed a series of entry procedures, paid a huge amount of fees, and spent money to take care of the upper and lower levels, and bribed some officials.

After walking out of White Horse Port very calmly along the way, I came back to my senses, and I couldn't believe it, they had practiced many times before that, how to deal with various situations, and in the end, it was so easy and wishful?

Xiang Ba frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't think about it.

… White Horse Port, just an hour after Xiang Ba left, Sun Mu was extremely hesitant by the silent White Horse Port, secretly thinking, with Xiang Ba's force, even if it was seen through by Ji Guo, at least there was a chance to send a signal, even if there was an accident and the signal could not be released, then at least there was a little fighting, and the screams were also screaming, quietly making Sun Mu's heart empty.

After thinking about it, "Could it be that Qin Tian is a ghost again?" ”

Sun Mu was entangled for a moment, and after waiting for a while, he ordered a raid on White Horse Harbor.

Once the order was issued, hundreds of warships carrying soldiers rushed to the shoals of White Horse Harbor to rush to the beach landing battle!

Because in the afternoon, the fog was thin, so the ships under the command of Sun Mu were a little far away from the port of White Horse, when Sun Mu's hundreds of ships rowed out several miles away and arrived at the shoal, more than 3,000 heavy shield soldiers with shields poured out of the boats, stepping on knee-high river water and rushing to the port of White Horse.

The auxiliaries behind them quickly carried out the siege equipment, and the archers also quickly poured out to cover the work of the auxiliaries.

Then, at this moment, Sun Mu originally thought that there would be chaos in Baima Port, but instead of appearing, a dense rain of arrows covering the sky like a locust plague covered the soldiers who landed.

Covering the sky, the effect of nearly 10,000 archers firing a salvo made Sun Mu's heart cold.

The other party is obviously prepared!

… On the other side, Xiang Ba, who had already walked dozens of miles, suddenly remembered and said to Zhao Yi: "By the way, when we arrived at White Horse Port, Song Liang and Li Chi seemed to be standing on the city wall. ”

Zhao Yi nodded, and said a little stiffly: "It should be basking in the sun." In his heart, he vaguely guessed the truth, he was Zhenchen, not Wu Chen, and there was naturally no need for Xiang Ba to tell the truth and show his cleverness. That would be fatal.

Xiang Ba didn't pay attention to Zhao Yi's words, bowed his head and pondered.

For a long time, Xiang Ba's eyes were a little sharp.

"Sun Mu is in danger!"

Xiang Ba immediately turned over on the body of the rouge beast, holding a gun and preparing to kill back.

Zhao Yi hurriedly recalled what Qin Tian had said to him, and hurriedly said: "Duke Wu, don't be impulsive, think about it in the long run, maybe Sun Junshi didn't attack the city, or maybe you are wrong." ”

Xiang Ba rode his horse, but found that the rouge beast under his crotch suddenly knelt down with his front hooves, and Xiang Ba rolled off the horse defenselessly.

Xiang Ba looked at the rouge beast and frowned a little, and muttered in his mouth: "Chitu, Chitu, what's wrong with you?" ”

The rouge beast, also known as the red rabbit, roared, and his spirit was a little sluggish.

Zhao Yi glanced at it and said, "The rouge beast should have been sitting on the boat for a long time, and the boat was a little dizzy. In his heart, he was very surprised by the behavior of this rouge beast, revealing a spiritual surname, and then hurriedly persuaded Xiang Ba.

Xiang Ba looked at the Rouge Beast and Zhao Yi's persuasion, plus he really couldn't bear to give up his hegemony, so he gritted his teeth and continued to rush towards Julu City.

Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and understood in his heart that Sun Mu was afraid that he was going to plant it this time.

… Zhao Yi and the others guessed well, and Sun Mu was completely planted.

That wave of arrows covered from top to bottom, and in just one wave, the heavy shield soldiers lost hundreds of people!

The first wave has just been fired, and the second wave of arrows has already been fired.

Sun Mu reacted from the shock at this time, Mu Ran, if he usually encountered the current situation, Sun Mu had already resolutely ordered a retreat, but now?

Looking at the sparsely populated city wall, it is now densely packed with archers with bows, divided into two groups and taking turns to shoot a rain of arrows.

Song Liang and Li Chi stood there, vaguely seeming to see Song Liang smiling.

Sun Mu can't retreat! He had to find out the news of Xiang Ba before he could retreat.

But Sun Mu didn't plan to let his soldiers die in vain like this, and to find out the news, not to attack the city.

Immediately decided to ask all the soldiers to withdraw and put them on.

Based on the current situation in Baima Port, it seems that all of them should be archers, but they didn't see Song Ming and Zhang Chuan, so they obviously made other moves.

After the soldiers withdrew to the ship, Sun Mu said: "Presumably this is Ji Gong, dare to ask Ji Gong, if you want to borrow Baima Port, why did you attack our soldiers for no reason?" ”

Song Liang pouted: "Borrowed?" It's so nice, okay, don't talk about those hypocritical sets, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, now the White Horse Port is now full of archers, tens of thousands, and it is impossible for you to break through the White Horse Harbor. ”

Breach of Hakuba Harbor?

Sun Mu keenly captured these five words, and the other party seemed to know his intentions very clearly, although he said it wrong, then someone was misled behind the scenes... Could it be Qin Tian?

No way!

Sun Mu quickly rejected this idea, the reason was that Song Liang hated Qin Tian so much and categorically would not listen to Qin Tian's words, and besides, if Qin Tian was really behind the scenes, then Song Liang would not hesitate to betray Qin Tian and bluntly say that it was Qin Tian who betrayed the alliance, so that Qin Tian's reputation could be completely stinked in the world.

But isn't it strange?

Sun Mu's thoughts instantly changed a lot of song thoughts, and he said to Song Liang: "Gong Ji is really good at joking, so naturally he doesn't have the idea of capturing White Horse Port, he just wants to come and greet him." ”

Song Liang's face turned pale suddenly, and he sneered and said, "Do you think I believe it? Do you know where the foot soldiers of the entire Ji country went? ”

Sun Mu said with a serious look: "Listen to me." ”

"Here it is! Bump it over! A voice suddenly came from the river behind Sun Mu.

Sun Mu suddenly turned his head and said without thinking: "Turn the bow of the ship and defend." ”

Song Ming and Zhang Chuan stood on a building boat, and the commander's fleet rushed towards Sun Mu's ship.

After the ships on both sides approached quickly, Sun Mu thought of a lot of thoughts in his mind at this moment, since the archers were all in Baima Harbor, that is to say, Song Ming and the others were wearing foot soldiers!

In other words, it is only necessary to open the distance, and all Song Ming's ships can be destroyed!

However, the reality is harsh.

Song Liang deliberately talked to Sun Mu, and the soldiers on the ship were attracted by the conversation between the two, while Song Ming and the others took this opportunity to quietly approach the ship.

After exerting all their strength, the ships of the two sides suddenly mixed together, and several ships were hit.

A soldier with a slightly worse surname will be hit by this, and the collision will not stand.

At this moment, the ship under the command of Song Ming immediately threw flying claws and other objects, or directly lowered the river water and climbed towards the ship under the command of Sun Mu.

The rivers of East Asia are much calmer than those of other seas, so the claws are just a backup.

Seeing this, Sun Mu categorically ordered: "Retreat." "As a Wu [***] teacher, he naturally has his own opinions and uniqueness.

If the current situation is forced to make a move, then it will inevitably expand unnecessary losses, and there is no way to attack Baima Port, coupled with what Song Liang said, it is very unwise to conclude that Xiang Ba has not been exposed, and it is very unwise to continue to stay here and fight to the death.

Sun Mu ordered the soldiers to suppress the arrogance of the Ji State on the one hand, and on the other hand, they began to disconnect the enemy from the ships on Sun Mu's side and retreat with all their might.

Sun Mu finally left sixteen ships behind to complete the retreat.

And Song Ming did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but immediately headed towards the east.

At the same time, Song Ming also sent people to begin to count the post-war gains.

… Late that night, the dark clouds closed and the moon closed, and only the torch lit at Guandu Port was shining brightly in the night.

Sun Mu retreated to Guandu Port in defeat, and Qin Tian greeted him.

Sun Mu looked at Qin Tian with a gloomy face, didn't say anything, and after the hastily soldiers settled down, they closed the door and didn't see any guests.

Qin Tian shrugged his shoulders open-mindedly, and after roughly inquiring about the results with Ling He and Xu Chu, he had a rough understanding of the whole process.

Qin Tian and Ling He walked on the road of the night, and said in a deep voice: "Unexpectedly, only a few thousand people have been lost, and they are not elite. ”

Ling He said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, within two days, Sun Mu will act again." ”

The three of them walked to the small courtyard where Zhao Yi's father and Zhao Yi were, there were no troops here, and the lights in the courtyard were still on, obviously waiting for news from Zhao Yi.

As soon as Qin Tian entered the small courtyard, the servants found Zhao Yi and the others out.

Qin Tian said indifferently: "I have already passed through Baima Port, don't worry, go to bed early." ”

The two who got the news were a little overjoyed.

After Qin Tian left, Zhao Yi looked at Qin Tian's back and sighed a little: "At the beginning, because of the matter of horses, I was partial to Wuquan. Now Wuquan is dead, and Xiangguo is dead. ”

Zhao Yi's father also remembered what happened at the beginning.

At the beginning, Qin Tian was still a country with only two small counties, and when he went to participate in the Xiangyang Alliance, Zhao Yi brought 4,000 good horses.

But only two thousand horses were given to Qin Tian, and the other two thousand were dedicated to Wu Quan.

Qin Tian knew everything, and sent people to slaughter two thousand of the four thousand horses.

The next day, Zhao Yi still only took out a thousand horses, bullied Qin Tian for being young and ignorant, and refused to put all his chips on Qin Tian, Qin Tian was furious and drove Zhao Yi out of the door.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but sigh and said to his father: "Fortunately, there is a second brother who has the right to support Qin Tian without hesitation, which has saved some of the value of my Zhao Chamber of Commerce." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yi thought of the long roar of Qin Tian's Wushuang Army after defeating the Wuquan army.

"In a short time, this will be my territory, and even the whole world, the whole world!"

That scene is still impressive.

Zhao Yi's father, Zhao Kong, also said with some embarrassment: "Yes, when Zhenguo and the other three kingdoms wanted to start a war with Ji, I also said that Zhenguo was not self-sufficient, and even the resources that would be invested were wasted, Zhao Yi persuaded me many times, let me gamble, he had an intuition, Zhenguo won and went further, at that time, some of your uncles also persuaded me to betray Zhenguo directly with Ji Gong, I have been hesitating at that time, after all, I am the patriarch, every move is the fate of the family, I can't make a hasty decision, I only hope that I will not seek merit, but no fault. ”

Zhao Yi listened quietly.

"Now it seems that if I could listen to Zhao Yi's stinky boy and put all the bets on Zhenguo, then the Zhao family would inevitably leap to a new level."

"After all...... That young man wants to become the first person to have that kind of thinking beyond the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. One wants to become the emperor and the emperor under this sky. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Kong felt a little remorseful, his lifelong wish was to be able to bring the family to a new level, but after a long time, he found that that dream was far away.

The Zhao Chamber of Commerce is one of the four major businessmen, and the scale is very large.

The main business objective of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce is to sell horses and purchase strategic materials such as grain and iron.

Zhao Kong sighed, it is rare to get it back after losing the opportunity, and losing it is equivalent to losing a ticket to a new level.

The father and son returned to the courtyard.

And Qin Tian began to sleep after he went back.

However, at this time, Song Ming and others, who had originally disappeared from the battlefield of Baima Port, attacked Dunqiu Harbor, where Yunguo was stationed, at a heavy price.

However, Song Ming made a mistake in his mind, and Yun Guo, who had been in a state of loss in the entire battle, was still very calm in the face of the surprise attack, after all, with Xu Zhizai, the surprise attack on Dunqiu Port would naturally fail.

Xu Zhi and Qin Jia talked for a couple of sentences, and directly pointed out each other's purpose.

Obviously, the Ji State has made a desperate attempt to break through the weakest Dunqiu Port, and then use the Dunqiu Port to find another way to attack Guandu Port again, so that as long as the Ji State holds these two points, it can draw a large number of troops to attack the Qin State troops in Qingzhou and the special combat force.

However, it is a pity that Ji Guo obviously miscalculated, although Yun Guo has suffered serious losses in troops and a serious loss of population in the Central Plains, Xu Zhi and others' top thinkers are still there!

The severity of the port of Donqiu naturally required a very vigilant guard, and a number of torches were densely arranged on the shoals not far from the port, and a death order was given, and if these torches were extinguished, rockets were immediately dispatched and bells rang.

Such a rigorous defense system had an effect when Song Ming and others quietly arrived.

After Xu Zhi arrived, he immediately calmed down the morale of the soldiers, most of these soldiers were new soldiers, Xu Zhi knew that his mentality as a commander was very important, and with confidence, loud voice and relaxed tone, he sent back the contemptuous attitude of Ji Guo to the fullest.

Victory.

At this moment, the Qin [***] team in Qingzhou temporarily occupied Qingzhou, and Yinghe was almost recovering from his injuries, and Chen Qingzhi and Lu Xun, who received Qin Tian's order, began to prepare to approach Julu City.

On the day I left Plains City.

Yinghe and the cold-faced scribes stood on the city wall.

Yinghe's face was gloomy.

The cold-faced scribe said with a little ridicule in his tone: "Zhenguo played a big game of chess. ”

Yinghe didn't speak, he was still angry about the fact that he almost died, and his tone was obviously not very calm: "Rebel, sooner or later, one day he will be abolished." ”

The cold-faced scribe didn't speak, after all, this involves the king's family affairs, and as a courtier, he naturally can't speak, besides, who knows what Yinghe's psychology is now, if he says the wrong thing, he will lose all his efforts.

Yinghe's mood now is very complicated, very complicated, so complicated that Yinghe doesn't know what kind of mood he is in.

Mixed tastes.

It makes Yinghe very irritable.

After standing for a while, Yinghe seemed to think of something, sneered and brushed his sleeves away.

The cold-faced scribe looked at Yinghe's back with a twinkle in his eyes.

Xiang Ba stretched his waist and walked out of the house.

This village is specially used for the people of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce to rest when they pass by, and it is just used now.

Xiang Ba looked at the direction of Julu City, and his mood was inexplicably a little excited!

Finally waited for this day, finally ......
