The Yellow Turbans of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 81 Taiping Lake

Zhou Tai is a good water player, and there are many boats staying on the Qingyi River and around Jing County.Zhou Tai was very excited to let the leader of the navy go out now.

Zhou Tai looked at the map and felt that something was wrong: "My lord, it will take a hundred times more effort for us to attack the upper reaches of the lower reaches, and we will definitely not be able to take it down in a short time. It is better to send an army from the foot of Jiuhua Mountain to fight against the enemy. Our navy is in Jing The county feigns an attack, which will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Lingyang was built on the mountain, just a mountain away from Lincheng, and there were many people on the mountain. Although the terrain of Jiuhuashan Mountain was not high, it was dangerous, and even infantry could not climb over it for a while.

"It seems that we can only let Jin Qi and the others do something strange, Gao Yu, where are Jin Qi and the others?" Lu Renjia turned over the map and asked.

"My lord, I'm learning how to farm with the villagers in Chizhou Village!" Gao Yu clasped his fists and said.

"Call him back, and let him teach the Xu patients how to climb mountains!" Lu Renjia didn't want to surround Jing County, but just wanted to take down Lingyang and Anwu in an instant. In this case, he had to make good use of the Yue people. Take the weapon!
"Yes, my lord!"

"Military, what do you think about capturing Lingyang?" Lu Renjia turned his head and asked Chen Qun again.

Now that Lu Renjia has more and more people under his command, every war must not be forward-looking or backward-looking.

"My lord, I don't know what I can get by capturing Lord Lingyang?" Chen Qun said, shaking his feather fan.

"There is a lot of tea in the south, and the literati and nomads in the north love to drink tea. Jiuhua Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, and Tianmu Mountain are also tea-producing lands. These few places alone can feed hundreds of thousands of people. Taiping Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides. In other places, 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 make tea and enrich the people, why don't you bypass the city? Just surround the city without attacking it, and Taiping Lake, Jiuhua Mountain, and Huangshan Mountain are all there." Outside the city, when the people of Lingyang and Anwu change, the two cities will naturally be destroyed without attack!"

Lu Renjia was overjoyed when he heard this, he had always been acting on his own. In the past, the city was always richer than the countryside, but the south is different. The wealth in the south is obviously distributed in the wild. what relationship!
"The military is really powerful, and the military talent is no less than that of Zhang Zifang. Gao Yu ordered the residents under his command to open Jiuhua Mountain to pick tea, and notified the Ministry of Industry to learn tea-picking techniques and then teach the residents!" Lu Renjia said.

There are dozens of kinds of tea in Mount Jiuhua, and more than a dozen of them are exported overseas in later generations. Lu Renjia was happy for a while because he had an additional source of income, but this gap is far from enough. Taiping Lake must be taken, after all. That aquatic product is too rich.

"My lord, benevolence and righteousness, such soldiers who subdue others without fighting are really a blessing for everyone!" Chen Qun immediately complimented.

Xu Zan and Jin Qi, who were promoted by Jin Yiwei, also hurried into the lobby.

"Meet the lord (King Dai Viet!)"

"Excuse me, Xu Zan, now Zhou Tai has assembled [-] sailors to control Jing County, and you are sending [-] stragglers to support them, keeping your hands outside Anwu and Lingyang counties." Lu Renjia ordered.

Xu Zan was very excited and said: "Yes, my lord!"

"Jin Qi, you temporarily gather two thousand Yue people to harass Anwu and Lingyang counties from time to time. After you succeed, your two thousand Yue people will belong to the mountain army, do you understand?" Lu Renjia spoke slowly, hoping that Jin Qi can be more .

"Yes, my lord!" Jin Qi has learned Chinese for several months. Although he is not very fluent, he can understand the general idea.

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 as more water was developed, the red gas on the mountain became less. Dissatisfied, Jin Qi's status in front of the Yue people became higher and higher for a while.

Jin Qi even gave Lu Renjia's teaching on how 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 in Jing County, they immediately marched westward along the mountain pass between Jiuhua Mountain and Huangshan Mountain.The two counties of Anwu and Lingyang, which only rely on the Chunyi River to the east, look very pitiful at this time.

The water of the Chunyi River was not as turbulent as the Yangtze River, and the estuary was much narrower. Zhou Tai's walk was very slow, and even had to be dragged by the army on land.

The surrounding area of ​​Chunyi River is flat, even if it is in the middle of two mountains, it can be a good shelter.

"Xu Shuai, my lord's vision can be said to be vicious. The Chunyi River is going straight down to the Yangtze River, and there are natural dangers guarding 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. The Yijiang River is not as wide as the Yangtze River, but it is stable. What the navy needs most is to practice and learn water skills on stable water.

"Hey, you're heresy. My lord said that there is a 15-acre Taiping Lake at the head of the Chunyi River. The water is delicious and there are many fish. It is the best choice for treating miasma!" Xu Zhe also boasted.

Zhou Tai and many sailors gasped. The 15 mu is only a few times smaller than that of Chaohu Lake, and the 15 mu of aquatic products is enough to feed tens of thousands of people.

"Walk around, go to Anwu and Lingyang quickly, it doesn't matter if you take them or not, I'm happy to have such a large lake and water land!" Zhou Tai urged.

When the two armies heard that there was such a large territory, they hurried forward. When they arrived at the two counties, the county magistrate and county lieutenant had never seen such a posture. They naturally retreated into the city, waiting for their death.

"I said to you county masters, don't worry that we won't kill you, and the residents under your rule can come in and out at any time, our lord doesn't care about your ruined city!" Xu Zai said while riding a high horse, showing off his might.

The city guard couldn't believe it, and told the archers to be ready to shoot at any time.

At that time, the south was vast and sparsely populated. The average population of the southern counties was around [-]. Lingyang and Anwu were located in mountains and valleys, with a population of around [-]. The city guards were even less than [-]. , now facing these thousands of teams, I already have a feeling of retreating in my heart!
"Brother Xu, why bother with them! My sons and daughters, when entering Taiping Lake, don't hurt the people. If the people are fishing, let them go!" Zhou Tai ordered.

Many walking boats walked slowly into Taiping Lake. The blue water is picturesque, crystal clear and extremely sweet. There are swarms of fish and shrimps in it, just like nature. For a while, you can't see the west of Taiping Lake from the east.

Xu Zai's army seemed to be in a lot of trouble at this time, after all, the siege of the city should not be neglected for a while, otherwise thousands of soldiers would die, the people of the two counties felt strange, although there was a large army blocking them, they did not resist the people's entry and exit at all. Unable to figure out why, he quickly took out An Wu and went east along the Chunyi River.

It was only when I arrived in Dejing County that I realized that there were more troops stationed here, and the managers here seemed not to be under the jurisdiction of the Liu family!
