Fireworks in March down to Yangzhou.

Compared with Yecheng, the climate in the south is indeed much milder, the north is still warm and cold, and the grass has long grown and the warbler has already flown in the south.

Li Yue and the cavalry traveled south by land, and the foot soldiers rode down from Fangtou on the boat of the navy, crossed the Yellow River, entered the Central Plains water system, crossed the Bianshui and Yingshui to the Huaishui, and entered Shouchun.

In that year, Sima Yan attacked Wu, and Zhao Wang Jun repaired the ship in Shuzhong, which was a large ship with a boat, one hundred and twenty steps, and a boat could carry more than 2,000 people.

The Liang naval army has not yet developed to this extent, and the ability of water warfare is yet to be discussed, but there is no problem in transporting troops, grain and grass, and the big boat can carry 1,200 soldiers and soldiers, and the small boat can carry more than 500 people.

Mighty to the south.

In that year, the Sima clan pacified the three rebellions in Huainan, and also relied on the major water systems to quickly transfer the troops, grain and grass from the Central Plains to Huainan and quell the rebellion.

The Sima family is very good at this.

Sima Yike captured Meng Da on the day, raised troops from Wancheng, quickly marched from the waterway, and broke through Meng Da who had divided the three counties of Shangyong in 24 days, and Shu didn't even have time to support.

After 100 days, Liaodong was destroyed, and troops were transported through the major canals in Hebei, and Lutuo water was dug into the water to transport grain.

Huan Wen chose the main battlefield in Hefei, which was decent.

For the Liang State, the pressure was much less than attacking Liaodong and Guanzhong.

The real purpose behind the siege of Huanwen and the reinforcements is the duel of national strength, Hefei is at the door of Jiangdong, and the pressure on the grain and grass of the Jin army is even less.

Li Yue led the cavalry south, but it was slower than the waterway.

War horses cannot always run at high speeds, like people, they have to drink, eat, and sleep, while foot soldiers can eat, drink, and laze on the boat, day and night.

In many real battles in later generations, in various complex terrain and climatic conditions, a four-legged horse is not necessarily faster than a two-legged foot soldier on a long-distance march......

People can overcome difficulties and rise to the occasion, but war horses cannot.

Of course, this kind of army is rare in a hundred years, and the Black Cloud Army has not yet reached this height.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty take a boat?" Zhang Hao asked with wide eyes.

Li Yue laughed, "Wait for their navy to make the Yuzhanglou boat, and then I will take the boat." ”

Wang Jun cut Wu, in addition to the boat, there is also the Yuzhanglou boat, more than ten zhang high, can carry 10,000 people, can get up the palace.

However, the reason why Li Yue did not go south by boat was that he was still worried about safety, Cui Jin built a large number of ships, and the naval army was start-up, and there were many unsafe factors.

This parallel advance by land and water is also a test for the navy.

After marching for more than ten days, he drank Ma Huai water.

The north of the Huai River is peaceful, look around, the fields are endless, the blue sky is connected, there are dock forts and villages dotted in the middle, the farmers are busy in the fields leisurely, preparing for the upcoming spring ploughing.

But after crossing the Huai River, the atmosphere began to tense.

From time to time, you can see the Jin army scouts on the high hills in the distance, watching their every move.

The generals of Shouchun went out of the city to greet him, led by Su Quan, "General Gao went south to aid Hefei, and he couldn't take over, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" ”

"The military situation is urgent, no need to be polite, what is the situation in Hefei?" Li Yue held his hands weakly, so that the generals would be exempted.

"Huan Wen mobilized tens of thousands of people to build deep ditches and high barriers, which has surrounded Hefei on all sides, and the water is impassable." Su Yan has a slight beard under his chin, which is stronger than in Shangwutang, and he also has the demeanor of a general.

"Huan Wen is waiting for me, the grain and grass in Hefei City may be supported?"

"When the war was about to start, General Liang had already moved the people in the city to reserve the grain and grass needed for a year!"

"Great goodness!" Li Yue secretly praised in his heart, he is worthy of being an old man from Heiyun Mountain, one Hefei is enough for Huan Wen to gnaw, and it is not certain who will die of consumption.

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard, and first frustrate the spirit of the Jin people!" Zhang Oyster was impatient.

Li Yue looked at Su Quan with a smile, "What does General Su think?" ”

Zhang Hao's eyes widened at Su Quan, and his face was full of flesh and flesh huddled together.

Su Quan arched his hand as if he didn't see it: "The last general thinks that Hefei is worry-free in the short term, and the Jin people are gaining momentum, so you might as well wait for a few days until their morale is low, and then look for an opportunity to advance." ”

This battle was provoked by Huan Wen first, and the slogan of "Kefu Shenzhou" was shouted loudly, if even a small Hefei could not be taken, Huan Da Sima's face was afraid that there would be no place to rest.

However, Liang Jun also has his own problems, and the food cannot last for a few months.

"What you said is right, the order is that the whole army is divided into three parts, one for reclamation, one for war, and one for rest."

Huan Wen is not in a hurry, it makes no sense that Li Yue is in a hurry.

The army rested in place, and Li Yue led the cavalry south to spy on the reality of the Jin army.

Hefei is located in the east of the water, the south looks at the wet beard, the east is by Liyang, the north is Shouchun, the Three Kingdoms Cao Wei is full of favor because the old city of Hefei is on the west bank of the river, vulnerable to the attack of the Eastern Wu navy, so away from the water to rebuild a new city, offset the advantage of the Jiangdong navy.

This place, together with Shouchun, has always been a place where the forces of the north and the south are entangled.

More than 20 years later, the Battle of Weishui also broke out in this area.

Looking from afar, Hefei City has disappeared, between the mountains and rivers in the distance, there is only a camp that stretches for more than ten miles across the horizon, the earth fortress is like a city, the flag is swaying, outside the earth barrier, the antlers, the trenches are densely packed.

From time to time, the sound of trumpets was heard in the barracks, and cavalry and armor soldiers entered and exited, and the army was very neat.

Li Yue led 5,000 elite horsemen to run from the north to the east, and the Jin army camp was impeccable, as if a giant python was hovering between heaven and earth, and Hefei City seemed to have been swallowed into its belly.

Since ancient times, in order to dispel the heart of the defenders in the city to fight to the death, they will surround three queyi, and Huan Wen will be surrounded on all sides as soon as he comes up, and he will not give the defenders in the city a way to survive at all.

Li Yue frowned slightly, Huan Wen did this, this battle is not easy to fight.

I don't know how many soldiers' lives will be needed to fill this dense fortification, if the vitality is greatly damaged, the two wolves in Liaodong and Guanzhong will attack Kanto.

When he was thinking about it, two infantry horses rushed out of the Jin army camp, one left and one right.

It is very different from the Xun Xian Jin army I saw a few years ago, the morale is quite strong, and the equipment is also a lot better.

Huan Wen may not be a hero, but he is very good at governance, in two or three years, Jiangdong is very different, which is also where he dares to go on the Northern Expedition and dare to consume national strength.

Li Yue glanced at it and was about to leave, but suddenly found that he was the first general, holding a lance in his left hand and a ge in his right hand, extremely majestic and extremely familiar.

"Your Majesty......" Su Quan reminded softly beside him.

"Wait." Li Yue of these three or four thousand Jin troops has not yet taken it into his eyes, and the Jin army is just driving away.

When he got closer, Li Yue saw the coming general, and sure enough, it was an old acquaintance - Meng Kai, and he felt a feeling in his heart, but he didn't expect that on the battlefield of life and death, the old people would be reunited.

"Let's go." Li Yuele turned his horse's head.

The five thousand cavalry slowly turned around and ran north.

Meng Kai also seemed to have spotted Li Yue, but he was stunned in place, and did not chase after him, but turned his horse's head and returned to the camp.

The two armies fought each other and did not continue to entangle.

There were not many cavalry in the Jin army, they couldn't catch up, and they couldn't win.
