Qiang Qin

Sunset time.

Above the Pengze River.

The boats are criss-crossed and the drums are bursting. The flag of Daqin is flying at the bow of the ship. At the position of the stern of the ship, there is a small flag with the surname of the general that belongs to it.

Take one ship as a team, and three ships as a team, with one main ship and two auxiliary ships. Generally speaking, the size, tonnage, and number of soldiers of the main ship are much larger than those of the auxiliary ships. Ji Bu’s boat is one The three-story sky ship, this kind of large ship made of giant wood from the deep mountains of the Funiu Mountains, is very strong. As long as the angle is right, the sharp angle of attack on the bow can tear apart the opponent's belly in an instant.

Li Yuan stood on the deck with both feet, his face was a little pale, and his feet shook slightly. Although the amplitude was not large, it made people feel dizzy as if they were about to vomit.

"King Wu, why don't you go back to the cabin and rest for a while, the river is very windy and the waves are rough, and the boat will shake even more later." Ji Bu said worriedly.

"It's okay, if I can't even stand the storm, the south of my Great Qin will end at Dajiang." Li Yuan shook his head, resisting his discomfort and refused.

As the boat sailed in the river, with the impact of the wind and waves, the shaking became more and more severe. However, Li Yuan and the others had passed the initial period of discomfort. Although their faces were still pale, at least they could bear it for a short period of time. The boat rocked back and forth.

The wind blows in the river.

Come on.

The big river is moored with mist and waves, and the water and the sky are of the same color. In the spring of March, a few flying swallows crossed the water, bringing up one or two drops of water. Let's fly together" scenery.This kind of endless and vast sea of ​​water and sky is one color scene, which makes people feel very relaxed and happy while feeling nostalgic.

The place Jibu chose to practice water warfare was the confluence of Pengze and Dajiang, and also the entrance of Poyang Lake and Yangtze River in later generations. In the Qin Dynasty, Pengze and Dajiang were completely connected water systems.Within a hundred miles of this place, there are waters. Once a ship is in danger, it is impossible to save it.

Above the water, the Jiujiang navy was divided into two branches, one from south to north, and the other from north to south. The soldiers on the two fleets shouted to boost their morale, and arrows without arrows flew down in the air. During the battle, the eyes of both sides were even more red.I can't wait to devour the other party.

"King Wu, what about the disciples of the last general from Jiujiang?" Ji Bu was also very proud to see all the athletes making faces for him.Li Yuan didn't give Feng Xuan an explanation in Nanjun, but directly diverted to Jiujiang County, which made Ji Bu very excited. If he grasped it well, the main general who will cross the river this time will not be able to escape.

Before Li Yuan could answer, he could hear a faint shout coming from the river downstream in the distance: "Brother Ji, why didn't you call me Lao Peng for this army exercise? You and I are in the same river, so it's just right Wasting it?"

When Ji Bu heard this yell in a loud voice, his face turned red.He hesitated and said, "King Wu, must this be General Peng Yue from Donghai County?"

Li Yuan smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "Peng Yue is here, so let's wait—. Let's see how his navy drills are doing?"

During this southern tour, he mainly inspected Feng Xuan, Ji Bu, and Peng Yue, and now Peng Yue took the initiative to join them.It also saved him the trouble of going to Donghai County.

The Pengyue fleet went up the river from the lower reaches.

Just now, he only listened to the scouts reporting from a distance that Ji Bu's navy was performing drills on the river, so he suddenly shouted to show his identity and prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.

When it was approaching, Peng Yue saw that Li Yuan's big flag was also here, so he hurriedly jumped over from his own boat and rushed over in a small sampan.

Peng Yue is already 45 or six years old.

This age is the age at which a man goes from prosperity to decline. If there is no outstanding achievement in the past two years, Peng Yue will have to serve as the governor of Donghai County for the rest of his life. With the continuous emergence of officials, it is really difficult to estimate how long he can stay in office with his qualifications.

Therefore, it is Peng Yue's most craved desire to fight hard while he still has energy, and to win this opportunity to go south.

Peng Yue jumped onto the upstairs boat, saw Li Yuan's appearance, before he could stand firm, he knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general, Peng Yue, governor of Donghai County, see King Wu!"

Compared with the arrogance and disdain on his face when he first met Li Yuan, Peng Yue's respectful attitude towards Li Yuan now can be described as a 180-degree turn.

"Haha, it really is General Peng who is here. The voice sounds familiar to me. This time I am inspecting Jiangzuo, the next place I am going to is Donghai County. Now that you just arrived, it will save you a lot of hard work." Li Yuan helped Peng Yue up with a smile, and said.

Peng Yue, Yingbu, and Han Xin are also known as the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty. However, none of these three people ended well. As a result of the military action against dissidents, Han Xin was trapped and killed, the Yingbo rebellion was defeated, and Peng Yue was the worst. He was simply made into human broth by Lu Zhi, and the broth was sent to the princes from all walks of life for them to taste one by one.

This inhumane practice also made the generals who had followed Liu Bang thousands of miles away in the early Han Dynasty. If they didn't want to be killed, they could only rebel, and the result of the rebellion was still killed.Such a vicious circle, when the Huns invaded on a large scale, Liu Bang had to take a group of his trusted old brothers from Pei County to battle.

As the so-called, do not fight do not know each other.

Peng Yue was a man who had the airs of a hero in the world. At the beginning, he was mistaken and kept looking down on Li Yuan, but now facing the momentum of Qin's prosperity, he is completely convinced.

Peng Yue's East China Sea Qin army came this time, with twenty ships and a small number of about a thousand people. However, according to Peng Yue, the main force of the East China Sea Navy is stationed in the Moling area on the left of the river, and its strength has already reached It swelled to nearly [-] people, and a considerable part of them were the rest of the Yingbo Army incorporated by Peng Yue.

Bandit family.

After the defeat of Yingbo, the rest of the tribe scattered, a small part surrendered to Western Chu, and finally became a part of the Chu army, and more tribes returned to Daze and Dajiang. The bandits' attack was also intensified, and the life of the bandits was very unsatisfactory. This time Peng Yue recruited troops in Donghai County. After thinking about it, the bandits took all their brothers to defect.

Compared with the newly recruited young and strong.Pengyue's bandits armed with superior immediate combat power, just looking at the momentum of Peng's more than [-] men and more than [-] warships rampaging in front of Ji Bu's [-] ships, it is self-evident who is more powerful.

Combining the various departments of the Qin Army and Navy along the river, the total strength is about [-], and the warships are no less than [-]. If this force is gathered and used reasonably, it is not a Yue tribe. Horde can resist.

——.

Peng Yue rushed to Jiujiang, leaving Li Yuan to go to Jiangzuo. With confidence, Li Yuan also took advantage of the situation to convene an emergency military meeting before the battle of crossing the river in the six counties of Jiujiang County.

Those who participated in the meeting were Ji Bu, governor of Jiujiang County, Peng Yue and Wu Jun, governors of Donghai County, Jiang Yu, governor of Kuaiji County, and Feng Xuan, governor of Nanjun County.At the same time, Zhou Yin, Prime Minister of Kuaiji County, Chen Xi, Lieutenant of Nanyang County, Luan Bu, Wang Huang, and Man Qiuchen, who were in charge of follow-up support, also arrived successively.

Judging from the origin of these generals of the Qin Army, most of them were surrendered generals of the anti-Qin princes in the Kanto region, especially Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's former troops. Only Feng Xuan and Jiang Yu were originally from the Qin Dynasty in Guanzhong.

However, now that the Kwantung princes are all wiped out, everyone is a member of the Qin State, and there is no need to go back to the past. This time, the main discussion is how to deal with the Battle of Crossing the River.And let the generals of the Qin army adapt to the humid and hot jungle environment in the south as soon as possible. Regarding this, the generals from the south also expressed their opinions, which made Li Yuan feel neglected.

State policy of Qin State.Because of the Huns, the long-term emphasis on the north and despise the south, and even these southern generals suffered from insufficient logistics and supplies.

Among them, Zhou Yin and Jiang Yu, who had already set foot in Jiangdong, had the biggest opinions.Duke Ding was defeated. This was the first time the Qin army suffered a major defeat since Lien Chan and Lien Jie. Three thousand soldiers were buried in the wilderness valley.The accompanying expenses such as t-shirts are second, and the most important thing is that this defeat made the Jiangdong Qin army unable to hold its head up in front of other ministries.

This time, Li Yuan's southern tour brought a signal to cross the river to attack the tribes of Baiyue to the south of the river. How could these southern Qin generals not be rejoicing.

After five consecutive days of heated discussions, the final battle plan for crossing the river came out. Peng Yue unexpectedly assumed the command of Qin's southern army by virtue of his strong strength and the excellent performance of his bandits. There are more than [-] troops and more than [-] warships from the two divisions of Luanbu and Luanbu. The army marched up from Jiujiang County along the Pengze and Ganshui Rivers. The direction of the troops was directed at Meijuan's lair in Wuling.

To capture the thief and capture the king, Mei Juan is the backbone of the three anti-Qin forces, and his Wuling tribe is also the elite of the Baiyue tribes. Peng Yue took him as his opponent because of this.

In addition to the main force of Peng Yue, in the Nanjun area, in order to cooperate with Peng Yue's attack, Feng Xuan's Nanjun navy will launch a feint attack on Changsha at the same time. The deputy general of the Qin army's attacking force led about 1 soldiers from Nanyang County and Sanchuan County to follow up.

Chen and Manqiu had no objection to this arrangement. Although Feng Xuan was young, he was Li Yuan's direct descendant, and he had the record of defeating Han King Liu Bang in the battle of Jingnan. Chen Xi , Man Qiuchen would not have been forced to surrender to Qin if he hadn't lost too badly in that battle.

As for the Jiangdong direction, Jiang Yu continued to recruit soldiers in the Wujun and Kuaiji counties, and practiced the newly recruited soldiers in the Taihu Lake area. It was a surprise that Wu Zhu came out of the mountains of Fujian and Yue.

The war drums of the Southern Expedition sounded "Boom, Boom, Boom," and with Li Yuan's order, the whole territory of Qin State was mobilized quickly. On all the roads leading to the south, the busy transport teams shuttled back and forth, which made people feel like a mountain. The tense and suffocating feeling that the rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

March 21.

The Pengyue Fleet set off from Pengzekou, Jiujiang County. Several warships lined up. The black flag of Daqin fluttered at the bow and stern, like dark clouds covering the sun. Show a little awe.

The point by the river will be on the stage.

Li Yuan handed over the tiger talisman for the expedition to Peng Yue, and then patted the old friend when Daliang first met. After more than ten years of being in a trance, Peng Yue's temples showed a few strands of white hair faintly, but Peng Yue's His face was rosy, and his eyes were full of excitement.

"Hang Dao immediately, I'm the only General Peng! See you in the future, I hope it's time to triumph!" Li Yuan said loudly.

"The last general——the last general swears to this, that he will do his utmost to live up to King Wu's entrustment! Peng Yue's lips moved, and after bowing, he strode aboard the ship.

From Li Yuan's gaze, Peng Yue's shoulders have been trembling slightly, not only Peng Yue alone, but the thousands of soldiers in the Southern Qin Army also looked at Li Yuan with extraordinarily eager eyes.

The boy's fame will be taken immediately.

Switching to the Daze area where the waters criss-cross, the men's fame must be obtained on the boat. This time, Li Yuan gave these former bandits a chance to rectify their names. Maybe they can get rid of them only with the merits of this battle. After living a careless life, he suddenly became an admirable prince and general. (to be continued..)
