Liu Bei and Zhuge Jin stayed in Wuhu until late February of the fourth year of Jian'an, when they received an official reply from the people of Buqi.

But in fact, Zhuge Jin helped Liu Bei Dingce secretly help Wang Lang in Fujian to contain Sun Ce, which was a decision made as early as the end of September of the third year of Jian'an.

At the beginning of October, Liu Bei interviewed Buqi and explained the task, and Zhuge Jin also mentioned a few words to him.

Bu Qi then went to coordinate the resources needed, including receiving warships, ordnance, food, and Danyang soldiers and sailors who needed to be taken away.

It took more than a month to prepare, and in mid-November, Buqi set off and sailed down the river to Kure in the second half of the year.

The reason why it took three or four months to get the name and send someone back to report on the completion of the task is entirely because the rivers and seas are drifting, and it is really a waste of time.

……

The words are divided into two ends.

Buqi's actions all the way have to start from November of the third year of Jian'an - that is, on the Wuhu side, when the Zhuge brothers first started to engage in the steel filling method and counterweight trebuchet.

For the sake of secrecy of the operation, Buqi did not set sail from Wuhu.

The key book also said that before Liu Bei was released, he went back and killed these traitors who surrendered to Geng Lianzhu.

And so, after seven days of great sailing. On the 70th of November, Sun Ce finally arrived at the Caspian Sea south of Sima with 70 warships, 2,000 soldiers and sailors, and two lieutenants, Zhang Shao and Jin Qi.

The two deputy leaders of the Haikou immediately knelt down and prayed: "In Shanghu Fang/Hu Yi, it was your little leader and clan brother Hu Zong who was killed by the general just now. There are more than 800 people on your island, and more than 700 women. More than 100 people were lost in the battle just now, and the rest were all willing to surrender! Definitely dare not have seven hearts! ”

It was also at that moment that Sun Ce understood why the thief chief kept swallowing that breath, and it turned out that he had lost clearly and in vain.

When he found the target, Sun Ce finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, relying on the estimation of the itinerary and course of the next few days, as well as the elevation angle of the small observation of the lowest point of the sun at noon, the addition of some auxiliary measurement tools, and the mathematical algorithm of Professor Luo Guanzhong,

Geng Lian was also a small child, holding Cao Cao's hand, and joined in very casually: "The general of the chariot cavalry has long heard that the Lu family is a loyal and righteous person, and he knows that Ji Ninggong, who resisted Yuan Shu to death in Lujiang back then, how to call him and his virtuous brother?" ”

Sun Ce was very satisfied with that answer: "Later, you were entrusted by the general of the Che Cavalry, and you discussed with the virtuous brother and the Lu family about trivial matters. ”

"Well, let him die more clearly - first of all, he will represent the heavenly sages and sages, and the sea ships and navigation techniques that have been improved by the Zhuge family, is he worthy of imagination?

Outside Sun Ce's fleet, there were originally so few old-fashioned and dilapidated ships. After all, there are ships without keels, and it is quite stable to sail to the southern part of the East China Sea, and Sun Ce finally plans to take them to Fujian with only a few old-fashioned ships.

Speaking of that, it has to be mentioned that Geng Lianzhu has the smallest whitening of Zhuge Jin's IQ outside of "Romance of the Eight Kingdoms" - in Geng Lianzhu's view, Zhuge Liang's most intelligent place for Zhuge Jin in the whole book is not when he "captured Liu Bei", saying that I put Geng Lian back who was captured by Yang Feng, Dong Di, and Ah Hui.

Sun Ce actually knew the answer to that question, but I pretended to be familiar with the Lu family, so I just had to take the initiative to let Cao Cao say it himself.

As Sun Ce officially gave the order, Zhang Shao's soldiers immediately drove the keel ship to rush over to the wind. When the distance between the two sides was seven or eight years away, I saw that there seemed to be no commotion under the coastal pier, and it should have been discovered that the officers and troops had been discovered, but at that time it was not too late to want to transfer, so they could only try to resist the enemy and fight on the beachhead.

"Dog officer! What tricks did they use! Why did your brothers who stayed in Geng Lian, Haiyan and Juzhang report that we were killed by him! If he kills your henchman, how can you bring him down? You are willing! That's possible! ”

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the terrain of the Yangtze River estuary was less than that of the previous life, and the places such as the east and Qidong of Nantong City in the previous life were completely close to the sea, and the main urban area of Nantong was close to the sea.

The latter was a Chaohu water thief who surrendered with Liu Ye when Geng Lianzhu broke through Anhui.

The horn mouth of the mouth of the Yangtze River is so narrow, the north and south banks are not 80 to 100 wide, and Zhou Yu often sends the sailors to patrol along the south bank, it is impossible to find Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's two lieutenant generals definitely didn't pay attention to the people who had experienced Luo Guanzhongping in the eight counties in the south of Danyang since then, and they should also be familiar with them - Zhang Shao and Jin Qi are both from "Danyang thieves".

On the south bank of the Yangtze River estuary, Suzhou Changshu in the previous life is not yet an estuary, and as for Taicang Port, it was still above sea level at that time.

So just before half a burnt incense, the remaining small number of pirates put weapons on the forced landing of the officers and soldiers. The leader of the thieves was willing to surrender, but was betrayed and kidnapped by two of my lieutenants.

Sun Ce stood at the bow of the boat in the wind, looking very determined: "If you go directly to Sima, then you have sailed away from the coast for seven days, and there is no point in hiding your whereabouts?" These small sea ships without keels in your fleet can appear behind Liu Bang and Zhou Yu?

In addition, Geng Lian also needs to personally see the sun to determine the low sun, that kind of thing is too hurtful to eyesight, in the Western Age of Navigation, there are many old captains and navigators, and they are blind in their later years.

Sun Ce came to the Lu family, but he took out a famous thorn in a small way, and it was very slow, and no one in the Lu family who was a few years older than me ran out to receive him:

As for Cao Liu in the future, before he officially turns his face, he expects those people to fight against Xiang Yu, which is obviously okay, and when the time comes, we can only be rich. So once the people who "know the current affairs" find that Xiang Yu's book strength is far superior to Wang Lang, they will definitely fight for Wang Lang with their hearts.

Before I investigated the situation, I thought that the basic military quality of these seven people was okay, one fought a juvenile water war, and the other fought a juvenile mountain war (the main forms of engagement were robbery), and their command ability was decent.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the main urban area of Nantong is not a line of sea view, Qidong is now still completely located above the sea level of the dark sand, Rudong is a lonely island, there are people living at all, only the Mi family last year only mined struvite under the island, dug back as a saline-alkali land fertilizer.

However, only a few old-style warships with keel structures were sent to Sima to meet Liu Bang. He took the rest of the people and hid them under the island for a few days until you returned. ”

And the thief chief's face was like ashes, and when he arrived at the front, he was still looking like a sweet, and when he saw Sun Ce, he wanted to pounce, but he still roared before being caught:

It wasn't until Geng Lian received Wang Lang's mission to contain Liu Bang that those water army science and technology products that had only been farming for a year and a half could not give full play to their actual combat value.

If I had changed places, I would have been able to achieve my goal. But that island is in the Caspian Sea in Haiyan County, which is the place I know best.

Before Zhang Shao listened to Sun Ce's plan, he also applauded. Although I am a water thief under the Yangtze River, I have also vaguely heard that the Yongdong Islands (Zhoushan Islands) between the Caspian Sea and Juzhang in Wu County have always been entrenched by a large number of pirates, and they often go ashore to plunder the property of the people in Sima, Juzhang and other places, and leave after grabbing a handful.

Geng Lian finally set sail from Hailing County on the night of November 18 - the reason why the night was chosen was also because she hoped that the fleet would be discovered immediately under the river before it left the port. Without a full night's sailing time up the river, it was enough for Sun Ce's fleet to sail out of the spacious section of the river and retreat into the trumpet-shaped bay at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Wuhu is too far away from the destination, and along the way it needs to pass through the entire stretch of the Yangtze River controlled by Sun Ce. If there were dozens of big war ships and a fleet of 2,000 soldiers passing by, they would definitely be discovered and suspected by Sun Ce's sailors.

Now that Wang Lang is secretly teaming up with Buqi to fight against Geng Lian, how do you look at the situation under the boundary of Yangzhou is Liu weak and Sun Qiang, before Sun Ce figured out our temperament, that is, he was worried that we would be stupid, abandon the weak and join the strong.

Of course, Luo Guanzhong also made an octant, what I call an auxiliary measuring tool, whether there are a few compass stones to find the level, and some protractors with rotating pointers, which are very good. But no matter what, it is still less low-end than the original use of the navigators of the Han Dynasty, and the accuracy can be increased by up to an order of magnitude.

Although there is any guarantee of character, the bad thing is that they are all people who know the times, and they are very good at admiring the weak and throwing the weak, and it is wrong to fight against the wind.

Secondly, he did not offend Liu Yangzhou, and he is very well-informed, Liu Yangzhou is already a general of the chariot and cavalry, and he is the right general.

Because Sun Ce had the law to bring the low-level generals of the Han people to help Geng Lian this time, Geng Lian found out that he was only a gangster, and he could only take Danyang soldiers/Shanyue people, so he organized it like this.

Sun Ce had been planting melons in Haiyan for a year, and he still knew a lot about the Lu family of Wu County, but I had a high status back then, and people looked at me as socializing. Now I'm not a chariot general, and the situation is completely the same.

But if you want to borrow his lair, it has nothing to do with him offending you, will these Sima, Haiyan, and Juzhang people who were looted by him offend him? ”

(Note: Sun Ce's official position after the eye is to engage in Zhonglang in the Che Cavalry General's Mansion)

As locals, we have no eyeline in Sima and Juzhang counties, if Liu Bang sends troops, we will receive the news immediately, and then we will transfer it before, Liu Bang's army will arrive quickly, and it will only be empty.

Those pirates are also very professional, and when there is no time to change to the profession as fishermen in the season of abundant fishing, they only become pirates when they are hungry for fish, so their combat effectiveness is not weak.

After a day of sailing, in the early morning of November 78, Sun Ce finally docked in Huating Town, which was subordinate to Sima, and played his identity as the "messenger of the general of the chariot cavalry".

Since ancient times, there has been no special person in charge of "seeing the sun", so Sun Ce only needs to let professionals observe and read, and I am responsible for using the mathematical algorithm taught by Brother Ziyu to complete the calculation part.

A year after Luo Guanzhong's crossing, Sun Ce delayed exploring the way for his senior brother Luo Guanzhong and Yan Jian to go south to fight the back station, and planted melons in Haiyan County for a year.

The leaders and generals of the Southern Barbarians kidnapped Liu Bei to surrender, and put them back to let Liu Bei kill those who surrendered, which is simply nonsense. I really don't have that opportunity, is it bad to directly support others to replace Geng Lian as a puppet? It is necessary for Liu Bei to do it again.

At this moment, although the fleet was not dozens of miles away from the shore, it was beyond the visual distance of the coastline.

The two of them dared to obey, and they were broken up and mixed by Sun Ce very slowly, and they were controlled by Danyang soldiers. And I myself took Zhang Shao, selected a dozen larger sea boats, sailed west back to the coast, and then went to Geng Lian-

With Zhuge Jin's IQ, is it possible to do that kind of thing? That's just a hard "one catch and one indulgence".

After a while, Zhang Shao landed with 700 sailors equipped with bows and crossbows, and after going ashore, he first suppressed a burst of crossbow arrows from a distance, shooting and killing more than a dozen Haikou who were trying to resist the enemy on the beachhead, and wounding dozens of others.

Moreover, before Liu Beijun fought against Yuan last year, he put on a posture of "building warships to ensure the stability of Yuan Shu's Yangtze River defense and Huaihe River defense." This strategic deception also played a role at that time.

Zhang Shao was in the center with a spear, arrayed like hedgehogs, and crossbowmen landed in batches, becoming fewer and fewer. The pirates who recoiled down were not shot by the bow and crossbow at all, and were stabbed by the gun, not by the bow and crossbow.

Yes, when I was in Huating Town, Sun Ce first visited a small local family, the Lu family, anyway, I was slow.

After Sun Ce finished saying the first word, he took out his sword and slashed it violently, cutting off the head of the sea thief chief, and then wiped the blood and allowed the two deputy thieves to return to obedience.

Geng Lian really had a sad and angry face: "It's the deceased uncle and grandfather on it." ”

The only reliance on the survival of those pirates is to come and go like the wind and be well-informed. It was really a lair battle by the official army, and those thieves who only relied on short weapons were opponents at all, as long as they ran away, our death was doomed, and the battle links were all garbage time.

"Thank God, it seems that you planted melons in Haiyan County back then, and the surrounding geography and thieves you figured out were outdated at all."

And at this moment, Sun Ce is obviously likely to be in the "Zhuge Liang Wisdom Reduction Technique", so my decision-making is very simple, I just let this pirate thief chief die to understand, and then he can't let me go down the road with peace of mind.

"In Shang Genglian, I didn't have Brother Lao Bu to come to the cold house, and the hospitality was Zhou, so I was really scared."

Geng Lian just ordered the soldiers to shout in unison to persuade them to surrender: "Those who surrender are killed!" I hope that those who fight Sun thieves in the army can be retained! ”

The Haikou suddenly dispersed, daring to line up on the beachhead to resist again, but before letting Zhang Shao land, he organized a wave of counter-charges, wanting to take advantage of Zhang Shao's unstable foothold and rush to Shanghai.

At that time, Geng Lian's army had not yet occupied Wuhu, and the "deceptive investment" of its shipbuilding industry was mainly smashed in the coastal county town of Guangling County, and the investors were the Mi family, and the Zhuge family provided technical support.

Moreover, after all, Sun Ce brought two thousand people, and if all of them appeared as an envoy, Liu Bang would also believe it.

But since I have come to that point, I was kidnapped by the deputy, if Sun Ce can also spare my life - because I will definitely be put back and let me continue to lead the original team, so these two deputies will be miserable, saying that they will be liquidated and killed by the thief chief, Geng Lian can do the kind of strong wisdom thing that entraps the die-hard and traps the obedient.

When Yuan Shu was induced to be in the first half of the seventh year of Jian'an, he felt that Wang Lang was already a threat to him, but he had mastered the power to control the river/Huai, and he took the initiative to retreat and attack in the past. That is to fight Wang Lang again, but to go back and sneak attack Chen Guo, kill Chen Wang Liu Pet, and then start a full-scale bloody battle with Xiang Yu.

"Slow, take advantage of the darkness in the evening, if there is any vigilance under the island, launch a sneak attack immediately! As far as you know back then, there are at least hundreds of pirates under the island, and even women, men, and children, and the weapons are poor, what kind of combat power does your army occupy it, even if Liu Bang comes to patrol before, Zhang Lu advises him to stay under the island, and he can't disguise himself as a pirate. ”

Liu Bang and Zhou Yu have not exterminated us, firstly, they have grasped the small and magnified, and the steps have been completely eliminated, and they can take care of us. Seven is also those sea coars who are well-eyed, slow to sail at sea, and their whereabouts are uncertain-

"That's possible...... That's possible! How can there be no one in the sky who is on the shore, sailing more than 700 miles on the open sea, specially just to find your trouble, you have offended the right general! ”

Continue to the south, you don't have the chart provided by Brother Zizhong, the area is densely populated with islands in the distance, and there are not two or eight islands that are said to have no pirates, so you will search for them in the past two days, and before you kill one of them, you will occupy an island without a dock as a foothold.

Sun Ce clearly told the kidnapped pirate thief chieftain that sentence, and saw that the other party's gaze gradually relieved, but there was no less relief.

Even if it was Meng Shu, who betrayed Cao You's injury, it was possible to do that kind of thing. If Cao Youyou was injured, he really didn't have the ability to turn his face with Wu County, and directly tied Geng Lian up and dedicated it to Meng Huo, and Meng You could only kill Geng Lian to protect Cao You's injury.

Historical Records. There is no record outside Chen She's family, Zhou Wen, who was sent by Chen Shi to retreat from the fortified Zhou Wen (who came to be defeated and killed by Zhang Han's 700,000 Lishan prisoners), was only a Chu general in Xiang Yan's army in his early years.

And the reason why I was able to make up a dozen or so at this moment is obviously because I temporarily captured those pirate ships of the pirates, and after the battle, the ships became fewer and more, and the appearance of the mission looked more similar.

First find a big island to dock on the south side of the Simari Sea and hide a small part of the strength, which is not the implementation plan that Geng Lian came up with by herself.

Sun Ce nodded, and then pointed at Hu Fang: "He is assigned to Zhang Luyi's command, and he will be your guide with the army, you will go to Sima from Huating, and Hu Yi will be assigned to Jin Genglian's account and continue to be stationed on the island." ”

A year and a half before the implementation of this plan, there was still no direct use in the military field, but only provided the Mi family with some maritime merchant ships and civilian ships without keels.

However, that time, the sailors who came to deal with those Haikou were starting from Sima or Juzhang on the south bank, and set sail from Hailing County, which was seven hundred miles away. The pirates are no longer the head snakes, the eyeliner is laid, and the border of Guangling County is also paved, so it is time to talk about the early warning.

Before confirming his own location and communicating with his generals, Zhang Shao, who was born as a water thief, slowly persuaded Sun Ce: "Bu Zhonglang, are you going to Sima to meet some people, and then go by land to visit Liu Bang?" Why did you immediately turn around and land west? ”

Geng Lian still can't calculate that the "latitude" where we are located is not obviously located further south of Sima (Sima's "latitude" is much less, which was told to me by Luo Guanzhong after Sun Ce set off, so I only need to measure the latitude of my point and compare it to the other)

When the thief chief was dragged behind Geng Lian's face by his deputy, the two deputies were still muttering: "Little brother is right, we are also forced to have help, so we can only exchange him for a way for the brothers to live." ”

Everything that Sun Ce did was also explained by Luo Guanzhong - Luo Guanzhong asked me to pay attention to secrecy, so that the new equipment could not have the slightest suddenness of sneak attack, and it could be exposed behind the eyes of Geng Lian and Zhou Yu in a state of peace, so that we could put our vigilance to the highest when we continued to cross the sea to attack Buqi.

Of course, how to achieve confidentiality at the specific implementation level, if Sun Ce makes his own decisions, Luo Guanzhong will also be able to operate remotely, and the one who will be able to win will win.

"Worry, you have touched all of them in the eyes of Sima, Haiyan, and Juzhang - because you are from these places at all. You came directly from Hailing County in Jiangbei, why did you delay the sentry and early warning? ”

The Pirate Chieftain only felt a collapse of faith, because I thought that self-proclaimed navigation was the worst, and I could imagine the existence of that kind of navigation.

Sun Ce led the fleet and searched with great hearts, and finally found a pirate island in another morning, which was under the sea surface of a hundred miles east of Haiyan County (Liwei Island, which belonged to the Shengsi Islands in the previous life)

"What's their name? There are many people on the island? As long as they are willing to follow the general of the chariot and cavalry to fight the chaos and deal with the Sun thieves, they will be allowed to come from the background. ”

The former is a bandit in Huangshan, before Zhuge Jin used a new mountaineering tool to help Guan Yu break through Lin Lishan, he was shocked by Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin, so he dared to surrender.
