Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Jinxian Wharf

As soon as the three days passed, Pingzhou sent troops on time.

The big ships of the Cao Gang are docked at the dock and ready to set sail at any time.

This time, the loggers from Pingzhou set out together with the soldiers who had gone out to the East China Sea.

Yue Shu is leading the young generals under his command to assemble the team.

Jiang Boya walked around the dock, looking at the big ships, he thought to himself, the relationship between Pingzhou and the Cao Gang is really unusual.

At this moment, Jiang Boya happened to see Lin Shan get off the boat, so he walked over.

"Deputy Gang Leader Lin."

"Jiang Sima."

"Aren't you about to go?"

"Yes."

Jiang Boya exchanged a few more words with Lin Shan, and couldn't help but jokingly say this, "Deputy Gang Leader Lin has a good relationship with Governor Lu." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Shan snorted haha.

"I see that the Cao Gang and Pingzhou have always cooperated, and even for such a major event as Pingzhou's expedition, the Cao Gang is willing to help, which doesn't look like it's okay."

Lin Shan spread his hands, "No way, Pingzhou gave too much." ”

Jiang Boya understood, the price given by Pingzhou must have made Lin Shan extremely satisfied.

Lu Songli was willing to pay two million taels of silver to ask them to help transport grain and grass, as well as soldiers and craftsmen, but Lin Shan could not refuse.

Two million taels of silver, which was almost their annual revenue.

Lu Songli only demanded that within three months, Pingzhou had the right to use ships first.

However, these are trade secrets, so there is no need to tell outsiders.

At this time, a young general ran over and invited Lin Shan away, "Deputy Gang Master Lin, our General Yue is invited." ”

Lin Shan and Jiang Boya said that they were not accompanied, and followed the young general.

Jiang Boya took the opportunity to look over and found that Lin Shan was talking to a tall and strong man in armor.

He grabbed a passing general, pointed to the tall man and asked, "Who is that general?" It's heroic. ”

The young general glanced at it and said proudly, "He is our General Yue Shuyue." ”

"Can you tell me about your General Yue?"

"Yes. Speaking of which, General Yue is still from your southland. ”

"He's from our Southlands?" Jiang Boya was surprised.

"What are you lying to? Three years ago, General Yue's family suffered from the flood in Nandi, and the family couldn't survive in Nandi, so they came to Pingzhou. ”

Jiang Boya only felt an arrow in his chest.

Jiang Boya looked left and right, "How many troops does Pingzhou plan to send?" ”

"It's classified." The young general replied with a glance.

Jiang Boya: ......

Is this Pingzhou general's guard too heavy? They're already allies. Don't you want to reveal a little bit about the number of troops sent?

At this time, Yue Shu and Lin Shan happened to walk towards Jiang Boya and heard their words.

Yue Shu took over, "Sima Jiang, don't worry, what you have seen so far is only a part of the soldiers who went out to the East China Sea. This time, our soldiers from Pingzhou will depart from the three wharves of Linyu, Jinxian and Anshi, and will meet at sea. ”

Jiang Boya nodded.

In the battle plan of Pingzhou, Qin Zhao, Yue Shu, and Guo Chong each led a team of men and horses to board the ships at the three wharves of Linyu, Jinxian, and Anshi.

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong were responsible for escorting half of the grain and grass, and Yue Shu was responsible for escorting the lumberjacks.

Qin Sheng had already led 2,000 Jintai troops as the vanguard team, and with half a month's rations, he boarded the ship at the Anshi Wharf last night and set off first.

At this time, Jiang Boya guessed in his heart that the soldiers who went out from Pingzhou boarded the ships at the three docks, and the general here in Jinxian was Yue Shu, so did Pingzhou dispatch three generals?

He gazed at all the soldiers and lumberjacks waiting to board the ship, and roughly estimated the number of soldiers.

If a general leads five or six thousand troops, then Pingzhou has dispatched 20,000 soldiers and horses?

When estimating this amount, Jiang Boya frowned.

Pingzhou has never said how many troops it has to the outside world, and the outside world is speculating about how many soldiers and horses Pingzhou currently has.

He knew that the Pingzhou soldiers were very capable of fighting, but Pingzhou went out to the East China Sea and only sent 20,000 soldiers and horses, was it too little?

But Jiang Boya doesn't worry, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, if they are trapped in the East China Sea, won't Pingzhou increase troops?

Just when Jiang Boya was immersed in his thoughts, Yue Shu and Lin Shan discussed and solved two small problems.

"If it's okay, let's get on board."

……

Thousands of miles away on the sea, Bi Guan is very good, he has a good impression of these soldiers in Pingzhou, first, Qin Sheng and others have gotten along with them, and second, it is the concept of Bi Guanshi. Steward Bi is an old man of the Cao Gang, and in his thoughts, the people who take care of their Cao Gang business are good people.

In the past two or three years, their cooperation with the Cao Gang and Pingzhou has been very pleasant.

Steward Bi saw Zhu Dazhuang and others on the deck, and everyone greeted each other.

Steward Bi couldn't help but ask the sailors who went to Pingzhou to play some time ago, "What about Chen Wei and Leng Feng?" It won't be because Pingzhou is too fun, and you can't miss it, right? ”

"No, they're not playing around, they're all busy getting married."

Steward Bi was surprised, "How long have they been in Pingzhou, and they are going to get married so soon?" ”

Zhu Dazhuang waved his hand, "If you are unhappy, the male should get married, the female should marry, and if you look at the right eye, you will become a relative." ”

"But they don't have much to do on their vacations."

"What then? Getting married is a major event in life, so let them take a period of leave? ”

Bi Guan said the difficulty.

Zhu Dazhuang and the others laughed, "You said there are not enough people?" Earlier, let's borrow 200 of you in Pingzhou? ”

Steward Bi stroked his beard, "It's not impossible." "The main thing is that these Pingzhou sailors let them work and do their work, and they don't cheat and cheat.

Southland

Black clouds crush the city.

The imperial court united with King Cheng of Jin to encircle and suppress the south, and the people of the south were panicked.

Almost all the common people are not optimistic about their assassination.

If the gates of the southern land were not closed, but the common people were allowed to enter and exit freely, the common people of the southern land would have fled with their burdens, or half of them would have run away.

To be honest, although Xie Zhan had expected this situation, he would inevitably have a heart attack.

But he had to come forward to reassure the people, "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't panic." ”

The common people under the city wall all looked up with their necks up, and they couldn't help whispering when they heard the words.

"The imperial court and the alliance of the two kings are coming, you say don't panic, don't panic?"

"It's not that it's coming, but it's already in the city!" The man next to him corrected him.

Xie Zhan stood on it and said loudly, "Although the imperial court united the King of Jin and King Cheng to encircle and suppress our southern land, our southern land is not isolated, and we also have allies. ”

Look at the people, I look at you, they have allies in the south, who are they?

"Our ally is none other than Pingzhou."

The word Pingzhou, like a drop of water falling into piping hot oil, immediately reacted.

"Pingzhou?"

"That Pingzhou, where neither the imperial court nor the Xianbei Hulu can help?"

"That's it."

"Is Pingzhou so powerful?"

"You're all old Huang Li, I also heard that a while ago, Pingzhou also captured the Buyeo clan of Xianbei's affiliated tribe."

"Didn't Xianbei fight back?"

"I really didn't fight back, I guess I think I can't beat it, right?"

"Pingzhou is amazing."

The people's voices of discussion and exclamation were endless, and the people of the Xie clan such as Xie Bai and Xie Nan heard it, and they felt very uncomfortable.

Xie Zhan also heard it, his mood did not fluctuate greatly, this was expected a long time ago, and his purpose of announcing this news was also achieved, just do it.

"The soldiers of Pingzhou are already on their way to support our southland. Our city is strong, and as long as we hold on, hold on a little longer, we can wait until the day of victory. ”

After Xie Zhan announced the news of the Heping State Alliance, the people were really not so restless and pessimistic, and everyone had confidence in the next battle.
