Chapter 81: Taiping Lake
Zhou Tai is a good hand on the water, and there are many boats to stay in the Qingyi River, around Jing County. Now that the leader of the water army is open, Zhou Tai is extremely excited.
Zhou Tai looked at the map, and felt bad: "Lord, we need to attack the upstream with a hundred times the strength of the downstream, and we will definitely not be able to take it in a short time, it is better to send an army from the bottom of Jiuhua Mountain, mainly against the guest, our naval army is feint in Jing County, so it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!" ”
Lingyang is built by the mountain, and Lincheng is only separated by a mountain, there are many people on the mountain, although the terrain of Jiuhua Shandong is not high, Dansheng is in danger, and the infantry can not climb for a while.
"It seems that they can only let Jin Qi and them make a surprise move, Gao Yu, where are Jin Qi and them?" Lu Renjia flipped over the map and asked.
"Hui Lord, I am learning to farm with the villagers in Chizhou Village!" Gao Yu clenched his fists and said.
"Call him back and let him teach the soldiers how to climb the mountain!" Lu Renjia didn't want to surround Jing County, he just wanted to take Ling Yang and An Wu in an instant, in this case, he would have to make good use of the weapon of Yue Ren!
"Yes, my lord!"
"Military, capture Lingyang, what do you think?" Lu Renjia turned to Chen Qun and asked.
Now there are more and more people under Lu Renjia's men, and every time there is a war, they must not look forward or backward.
"Lord Lord, I don't know what you can gain by capturing Lord Duke Lingyang?" Chen Qun shook his feather fan and said.
"There is more tea in the south, the literati in the north, the nomads love to drink tea, Jiuhua Mountain, Huangshan, Tianmu Mountain is the land of tea production, just these few places can feed hundreds of thousands of people, Taiping Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is really a place separated by a world, as long as we control Jing County, the people can develop with peace of mind, so we have to take it!" Lu Renjia said.
Chen Qun nodded, put down the hand shaking the feather fan, and took a sip of tea: "Since the lord just wants to open tea, why not bypass the city if the people are rich?" Outside the city is only besieged but not attacked, Taiping Lake, Jiuhua Mountain, and Huangshan are all outside the city, and when the people of Lingyang and Anwu are replaced, these two cities will naturally be self-defeating! ”
Lu Renjia was overjoyed when he heard this, he has always been on his own, in the past, the city was richer than the countryside, but the south is different, the wealth of the south is obviously distributed in the wild, as long as he controls Jing County, what does it matter if he can't take these two cities!
"The military is really powerful, the military talent is no less than Zhang Zifang, Gao Yu ordered the residents to open Jiuhua Mountain to pick tea, notify the Ministry of Industry to learn tea picking technology and then teach the residents!" Lu Renjia said.
The number of teas in Jiuhua Mountain is as high as dozens of kinds, of which more than a dozen are exported overseas in later generations, Lu Renjia was happy for a while because he had one more financial road, but this gap is far from enough, Taiping Lake must be won, after all, the aquatic products are too rich.
"Lord, benevolence and righteousness, such soldiers who surrender without a fight are really a blessing for all!" Chen Qun immediately complimented.
Xu Yan and Jin Qi, who were publicized by Jinyiwei, also hurriedly walked into the lobby.
"Meet the lord (King of Da Yue!) )”
"Excuse me, Xu Ji, now Zhou Tai has gathered 3,000 sailors to control Jing County, and you are sending 5,000 stragglers to support, and your hands are outside the two counties of Anwu and Lingyang." Lu Renjia commanded.
Xu Yan was very excited: "Yes, lord! ”
"Jin Qi, you temporarily gathered 2,000 Yue people to harass Anwu and Lingyang counties from time to time, and after you succeeded, your 2,000 Yue people belonged to the mountain troops, understand?" Lu Renjia said slowly, hoping that Jin Qi could have a lot.
"Yes, my lord!" Jin Qi has been learning Chinese for several months, although he is not very fluent, but he can listen to it roughly.
These days, Jin Qi has been treating the miasma according to Lu Renjia, at first these Yue people did not believe Jin Qi's words, but with the development of more water, the less red gas on the mountain, this made those Yue people have to obey, and for a while Jin Qi's status in front of the Yue people is getting higher and higher.
Jin Qi even gave Lu Renjia the matter of teaching himself to control the miasma to the Yue people, and the Yue people all regarded Lu Renjia as the 'King of Da Yue'.
After receiving the order, several people began to march eastward, and when they arrived at Jing County, they immediately marched west along the mountain pass between Jiuhua Mountain and Huangshan Mountain. The two counties of Anwu and Lingyang, which only rely on the east of the Chunyi River, look pitiful at this time.
The water of the Chunyi River is not as turbulent as the Yangtze River, and the estuary is also much narrower, and Zhou Tai's boat moves very slowly, and even needs to be dragged by the army on land.
The surroundings of the Chunyi River are flat, and even if you are in the middle of the two mountains, you can make a good place to stay.
"Xu Shuai, the lord's vision is not vicious, this spring Yi River goes straight downstream, enters the Yangtze River, and there are natural dangers on the left and right sides, if our navy trains here, we will get twice the result with half the effort!" Zhou Tai said very excitedly, although the Chunyi River is not as wide as the Yangtze River, but it is better to be stable, and what the navy needs most is to train the army on a stable water surface to learn water nature.
"Hey, you're going to be outsider, the lord said that there is a 150,000-acre Taiping Lake at the head of the Chunyi River, in which the water is delicious and the fish are abundant, which is the best choice for controlling the miasma!" Xu Yan also boasted.
Zhou Tai and many sailors gasped, 150,000 mu is only a few times smaller than Zhichao Lake, and these 150,000 mu of aquatic products are enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
"Let's go, hurry to Anwu and Lingyang, it doesn't matter if you take them or not, I am also happy to have such a big lake!" Zhou Tai urged.
When the two armies heard that they had such a large territory, they also rushed to the two counties, and when they arrived at the two counties, where had the county lieutenants and county lieutenants seen such a posture, they naturally retreated into the city and waited for their deaths.
"I said you county lord, don't worry, we won't want your life, and the residents under your rule can also enter and exit at any time, our lord doesn't care about your broken city!" Xu Yan rode a high horse and said proudly.
The city guards could hardly believe it, and called for the archers to be ready to shoot at any time.
At that time, the south was vast and sparsely populated, the population of this southern county was about 20,000, and the Lingyang and Anwu were in the mountains, the population was about 15,000, and the defenders in the city were even less than 50.
"Brother Xu, why bother with them! Sons, enter Taiping Lake, don't hurt the people, if the people fish, let them go! Zhou Tai ordered.
A lot of boats slowly march into Taiping Lake, this picturesque blue lake water, crystal clear, and extremely Ganling, among which fish and shrimp are in groups, just like nature, for a time in the east of Taiping Lake can not see the west of the lake.
Xu Yan's troops seemed to be much more fortunate at this time, after all, the siege of the city could not be negligent for half a moment, otherwise thousands of soldiers would die, the people of the two counties felt strange, although there was a large army to block, but they did not resist the people in and out, these people really couldn't figure out what the reason was, so they hurriedly took out Anwu and went east along the Chunyi River.
When I arrived in Dejing County, I realized that more troops were stationed here, and the managers here didn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Liu family!
