According to Yang Tian's original plan, he also wanted to build an affiliated temple in Kyushu City, but because it was not certain whether the Kyushu League would be able to withstand the attack of Cao Cao's army, he did not report this matter to the Fengyun Ji Ji for the time being. Maybe after the Kyushu League has enough strength, Yang Tian will give the incense burner to the Fengyun Meeting.
The current Kyushu League has at least fifty percent more strength than a few months ago, so as early as half a month ago, the Kyushu League has already begun the road of expansion.
The Kyushu League is located in Yanzhou, although it is likely to be subject to Cao Cao, but it has to be said that the Kyushu League, which is now on the road of expansion, is more smooth than Yanhuangcheng. After all, Yanzhou is still in the midst of the Yellow Turbans, and the expansion of the Kyushu League only needs to attack the Yellow Turban Army, which is much easier than the battle between Yanhuangcheng and Kong Rong.
By the time Cao Cao began to move south, the Kyushu League had already taken nearly half of Shanyang County. It seems that the speed of the Kyushu League seems to be faster than Baiyun City's attack on Yangzhou, but in fact it is not the case, the reason is that the area of Shanyang County is small, I am afraid that it is only half the size of Wu County, and it is normal for the Kyushu League to be able to take half of Shanyang County within half a month.
Now the Kyushu Alliance can only fight with Cao Cao at speed, if it can occupy enough land before confronting Cao Cao head-on, and have a strong enough army, Fengyunji will have the ability to fight Cao Cao, at least it can negotiate with the other party.
……
The follow-up war of the Baiyuncheng army in Yangzhou was very smooth, and it took almost no effort to push it to the south bank of the Yangtze River. At this point, the entire area south of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou was reduced to the territory of Baiyun City. Dong Ming's name as Yangzhou pastor is even more worthy of the name. As for Chen Wen. Now there are only two counties in hand, and the area is not very large, namely Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, both of which are from the Huainan region. However, judging from the current situation, Chen Wen never thought of relying on the Yangtze River to resist the enemy. There is no way, the Sea King transport ship in Baiyun City is too perverted, and for them, the Yangtze River natural danger is just a smooth road.
Without the obstruction of Chen Wen's army, the process of crossing the river by the army of Baiyun City can be described as extremely smooth, and millions of troops were sent to the north bank of the Yangtze River in less than two days.
In the process. From time to time, the personnel in charge of monitoring outside Shouchun City came with news. It is said that the main army of Yangzhou is constantly gathering towards Shouchun City, and Chen Wen seems to be determined to fight a decisive battle between Shouchun City and Baiyun City.
In this way, the side of Baiyun City also gathered the nine main army together, and at the same time entered the boundary of Jiujiang County, where Shouchun was located. And that's not all. Sun Ce also led his million-strong army across the Yangtze River. You must know that Yang Tian had promised Sun Ce before. This Jiujiang County will be handed over to the Sun clan to take care of. Except for the due taxes, Baiyun City will not meddle in the affairs of Jiujiang County. Therefore, Sun Ce burst out with great enthusiasm at this time, even if the army under his command suffered losses.
After the Baiyun City army crossed the river. Without any rest, they continued to advance northward. In fact, it is better to advance than to receive the town, because most of the troops in the towns along the way have been withdrawn, and the remaining two or three kittens are also frightened by the army of Baiyun City, and the army surrenders directly as soon as it arrives.
It seems that Chen Wen is really planning to fight a decisive battle with the army of Baiyun City in Shouchun City.
Three days later, without a single wound, the Baiyun City army was pushed to a place less than 800 kilometers away from Shouchun City, and most of the land of Jiujiang County fell into the hands of Baiyun City again. For these lands, Yang Tian also fulfilled his promise and handed them all over to Sun Ce.
Although Sun Quan was killed in the battle with Liu Biao before, which greatly damaged the strength of the Sun family, it did not hurt the foundation, especially some of the officials and guests, all of whom were brought out, so now that Sun Ce has taken over Jiujiang County, he is very smooth.
However, due to the limited number of troops under Sun Ce's command, the city defense of these cities will be taken over by the Baiyun City army for the time being, and the Baiyun City army will not withdraw until Jiujiang County has trained enough troops in the future.
At the same time that Sun Ce took over the occupied city of Jiujiang County, the Baiyun City side also began to deploy fortifications on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Of course, this so-called fortification is not to build a building such as a wall or a fortress at a checkpoint, but to build an observation post. According to the previously established plan, they were to build observation posts every 100 kilometers or so along the Yangtze River. Generally speaking, in a place like the Yangtze River, where the land is fertile and flat, there are villages and towns every tens of kilometers, so the construction of this observation post is very easy. However, it is not so easy to have enough personnel for each observation post.
According to the plan, each post was responsible for patrolling the river 50 kilometers in the east and west directions, and to screen for suspicious vessels entering the Yangtze River, especially large fleets. To ensure the effectiveness of patrols, the patrol personnel of these posts must have flying pets, and in order to ensure round-the-clock patrols and safety, no fewer than ten personnel must be stationed at such posts. The Yangtze River waterway in Yangzhou is more than 20,000 kilometers long, and more than 2,000 people are needed to complete such patrol personnel. Even for Baiyun City, more than two thousand flying pets is still a large number.
Of course, you can patrol without flying pets, but the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are too wide to see the entire stretch of the river when navigating the river. That's why it's necessary to use a flying pet.
However, it was not enough to set up patrol posts along the Yangtze River, so Yang Tian also transferred the Blood Sail Fleet to the Yangtze River basin, and it was stationed in Poyang Lake. The reason why Yang Tian decided to garrison the Blood Sail Fleet here was to radiate the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and secondly, to defend against enemy fleets that might come down from the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, especially Huang Zu's fleet.
……
With the current marching speed of the Baiyun City army, it will be possible to reach the foot of Shouchun City in two days at most, and at that time, it will be the time for the two sides to have a final decisive battle.
When Yang Tian received the progress sent back by Jia Xu, in order to prevent Chen Wen from making any moths in Shouchun City, he went to the city closer to Shouchun City through the Guò Teleportation Array, and then summoned the golden eagle to fly towards Shouchun City. He went to Shouchun City, firstly, to keep an eye on Shouchun City, and secondly, to wait for the arrival of the Baiyun City army, he also participated in the siege battle, so that he could take Shouchun City as much as possible.
But when Yang Tian came to the sky above Shouchun City, he found a strange scene, the entire Shouchun City was actually shrouded in fog, even if Yang Tian had a strange treasure like Eagle Eye, he couldn't see any movement below.
Yang Tian couldn't help frowning, although it was morning now, and the time had reached early autumn, it was normal for there to be fog. But this Shouchun City is the capital, and the fog in the city can't be too big, how can there be such a fog to close the city? Yang Tian estimated that there might be some problems here, could it be that the people he sent to monitor Shouchun City before hadn't discovered these anomalies? Or is this fog just today?
Just as Yang Tian was still thinking, a carrier pigeon stopped on Yang Tian's shoulder, Yang Tian took out the letterhead and saw that Huo Ran was sent by the two king-level rangers he sent to this Shouchun City. From the letter, Yang Tian learned that the fog in Shouchun City really only appeared today. The monitoring personnel discovered this situation early in the morning and sent the news back to themselves with a carrier pigeon, but because they had just left Baiyun City and flew directly to Yangzhou in the teleportation array, the carrier pigeon turned back and received the information.
Yang Tian didn't plan to go to the two rangers for the time being, and it could be seen from the letter that they were also confused about the fog and didn't know where it came from.
For this kind of fog, Yang Tian is not unprecedented, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion plot mission before, Zhang Jiao had used this method, but the scale was much smaller than this. Of course, this does not rule out the factor that Zhang Jiao did not go all out at that time.
Yang Tian had no way of knowing the situation in the city now, so naturally he didn't dare to go down rashly to investigate, maybe there were a large number of crossbow arrows waiting for him below!
There is a specialization in the art industry, and professional things like this can only be solved by finding professional talents, Yang Tian immediately thought of Yang Feng, who had been developing believers for the Water God Temple in the territory of Baiyun City, and he might be able to see some clues.
At that moment, Yang Tian sent a letter to the two rangers who were in charge of monitoring Shouchun City, asking them to continue to star, but they could not enter the city. After the carrier pigeon flew away, Yang Tian drove the golden eagle back to Baiyun City.
Yang Tian first came to Zhenhai City, where the temple was where Yang Feng lived for a long time, and it was also the most likely place to find Yang Feng. However, Yang Tian's luck did not seem to be very good this time, and when he arrived here, he was told that Yang Feng had gone to another county town to preach.
In desperation, Yang Tian had no choice but to step on the teleportation array again, and when he found Yang Feng, it was almost noon.
Yang Tian didn't want to delay for a moment, and immediately took Yang Feng to step on the teleportation array, and then the two of them rode the golden eagle together and flew towards Shouchun City. On the way, Yang Tian told Yang Feng about the situation of Shouchun City and his own speculation, and after Yang Feng heard it, he immediately frowned.
After a long time, Yang Feng said: "My lord, my subordinates have no way of judging whether this fog is man-made or naturally formed. But if it's artificial, then the strength of this person should be above that of his subordinates. With the current ability of his subordinates, he can also drive the fog to seal the city, but at most he can block a heavy city like Wangtian City, and there is nothing he can do about such a large capital. ”
Yang Tian didn't continue to ask any more, anyway, after arriving in Shouchun City, he would naturally be able to see the difference.
Nearly an hour later, Yang Tian and the others flew over Shouchun City, and at this time, the fog above Shouchun City still did not dissipate, as dense as in the early morning. Yang Feng didn't say much, and directly observed it seriously.
The longer he observed, the deeper Yang Feng's brows wrinkled, and the more Yang Tian's heart sank. (To be continued)
