Wu Yuehou's face was gloomy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The saint sat in the temple and only commanded by imagination, how could he know the details of the situation ahead, he explained the details of the situation here in several books, but in exchange for the saint's harsh words again and again to urge the troops.

"Urge, urge, urge, you know that the Chen River, the Li River, Poyang Lake and those waters, from a distance, look white and vast, we and other soldiers in the northwest are not accustomed to water, and forcibly break through, isn't it equivalent to driving them to die in the water to feed the fish, and it is not the same as the previous ones, repeating the mistakes of the past. ”

The senior henchman muttered quietly.

Wu Yuehou glared at him.

"Say less and do more, send some people who are accustomed to water to observe the rise and fall of the water level at all times, find feasible routes, send more scouts across the river to investigate the garrison layout of the coalition forces, and also, can the people who carry out the assassination mission have news to come back?"

"These things are the responsibility of the Marquis of Jinyang, after all, he has killed Li Jiang, he has some understanding of Jiangnan, I got some news from Hou Ye, he sent more than 10,000 people across the river, the field exploration mark was transmitted back on the map, the staff officers are surveying and calibrating, and they will be sent over after the drawing, as for the people who carried out the assassination mission, they did not give back any news. ”

Senior confidant staff reported.

"Well, get ready, I'm afraid that this envoy has brought an ultimatum from the Holy Lord, even if the timing is not good, he has to act, alas, 、、、"

Wu Yuehou sighed, waved his hand and sent people out, he wanted to meditate.

It seemed that this battle had to be fought, but he had little chance of winning.

"What the hell is the weather. ”

There was a great drought in the north this autumn, and it was rainy in the south, but at such a juncture, let him take command of the southern expedition.

Wu Yuehou could only complain about the strange weather.

Wu Yuehou is very cautious, after all, there are two Hou Ye in front of him, a famous general was defeated, and he was defeated very badly, the coalition army is not terrible, the most terrible thing is that Zhang Xian, who overthrew the originally powerful Chu State and established himself as a country without much effort.

"After the Zhang family released their children, at a young age, they had such an ability, and they must not be underestimated. ”

He has been studying Zhang Xian for a long time, but he doesn't believe that he can create this large foundation with his own ability.

"Could it be that the Zhang family is behind the scenes?"

According to common sense, it must be the case, but Wu Yuehou once sent someone to secretly investigate, but he did not find any signs of funding from the Zhang family in Jianye City.

"It seems that the first one in the world really lives up to its reputation, and after a child is released, he has such ability. ”

Wu Yuehou was worried for no reason.

He knew that the Qin Emperor had a plan to suppress and even gradually eradicate the ten major families, and several of them did not cooperate with the Qin family, and it seemed that it was not ordinarily difficult to realize this plan.

The Zhang family is not easy to deal with, its heritage is profound, and the heirs are all over the world, not to mention anything else, just Zhang Xian, who established the Xia Kingdom, made them break several teeth.

Emperor Qin was determined to destroy Zhang Xian, which was part of the plan to attack the Zhang family, who would have thought that in just two or three years, a Zhang family would emerge in the south and establish a vassal state second only to Qin.

The plan to eradicate the family has not yet yielded substantial results, and the first family has grown again.

In fact, these vassal states on the Chenyue Continent are inextricably linked with the ten major families, the more powerful vassal states are established by the heirs of the ten major families, and the second-class vassal states are also close relatives to the family, and some of the last vassal states must also have a relationship with the family, and the other part has nothing to do with the family, but they are all remote and poor places, and they are not in the eyes of these nobles.

The perished Chu State originally had a very close relationship with the ten major families, but later he became strong and gradually cut off the relationship between the families, and the place where he was located had an excellent geographical location, even the Qin State was difficult to shake, so it has been standing in the southeast, if it were not for its internal decay, which provoked the people to revolt, Zhang Xian watched the fire from the other side, and then took advantage of the fire to rob, fish in troubled waters, and finally turned against the guest, overthrew the Chu State, and established the Xia State.

Zhang Xian's establishment of the Xia Kingdom in such a short period of time was indeed opportunistic, but he was indeed attentive, and he got the greatest benefit in employing people.

When he was weak, he reserved a lot of talents who could govern the country and be able to defend the country.

The most important thing is to get the timing right.

In the civil strife in Chu, he took advantage of the civil war between the righteous army and the Chu army, and when both were defeated, he suddenly attacked and destroyed the state of Chu.

Of course, this is inseparable from his premeditated and prepared for it, and provoked the civil war in Chu.

Another point, with the help of the Miao family, which was not ranked among the top ten families in the Chu State, he enveloped some small ethnic groups that were excluded and suppressed by the top ten families, and with their help, he was finally able to gain a firm foothold.

Therefore, the Miao family is the greatest contributor to the founding of the Xia State.

Of course, it is impossible for these Wu Yuehou to understand thoroughly, so he can't understand it, and if he can't understand it, he has a lot of vigilance against Zhang Xian, so he doesn't dare to send troops easily.

Therefore, Zhang Xian took advantage of the time, place and people, so that the Qin army could not take advantage of his eastern crusade.

Wu Yuehou was worried in the camp of the Chinese army, but the Marquis of Jinyang was anxious more than fifty miles away.

Because of the reserve wood yard, a fire suddenly broke out, this is the largest of the three reserve warehouses, although he mobilized many people to extinguish the fire, but still failed to save these hard-won wood.

Most of these timbers are obtained from the demolition of private houses, which are quite dry, and they are burned by fire, which is used to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, how to explain to the commander Wu Yuehou.

"Did you find out what's going on?"

The Marquis of Jinyang roared at the generals guarding the timber yard.

"There is a smell of fire oil, it must be the work of the coalition spies. ”

The general replied tremblingly with a cold sweat.

"Kerose?spy?"

Jin Yang Hou frowned, the oil was only more than Xia Jun's reserves, they tried their best to guess a little, but there was no way to purify it, the slimy one was not easy to use, and the ignition point was low.

"Waste, I can't even look at a material warehouse, what's the use of leaving you, come here, pull it out and cut it down. ”

、、、、、、、、、、

The Marquis of Jinyang killed more than 100 people to vent his anger, but such a big incident was always reported to Wu Yuehou.

But the most important thing is to find out the spies.

But he searched for a long time, but found nothing.

"Could it be that the enemy scouts sneaked in and set the fire?"

That's the only way to say it.

So the Marquis of Jinyang strictly ordered pickets, and those who found unfamiliar faces were arrested first.

Although the repair is not complete, the lost timber cannot be recovered.

Seeing that the river crossing is about to begin, so much timber is gone, at least dozens of pontoon bridges cannot be built.

The Marquis of Jinyang became agitated.

A henchman gave him an idea, secretly sending troops to seize the two cities in the north of the Jiangbei of Zongye and occupy the only bridge on the Li River、、、
