Soldiers come to the world

"What are you talking about?"

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, "Why is it Liu Jing's conspiracy?"

"It's very simple. Weichen looked at General Ling's injuries. If it was really shot by the big yellow crossbow, his bones would be smashed to pieces within twenty steps. But in fact, his injuries were only flesh and blood, and at most it was only a stone. The strength of the crossbow is only [-] to [-] steps, so Liu Jing's use of the rhubarb crossbow is actually a bluff to deceive people's eyes and ears."

Only then did Sun Quan feel as if he was waking up from a dream, and after a while, he sighed, "But the appearance of multiple arrows, if you think about it carefully, it is still frightening!"

Zhou Yu pondered for a while and said: "The appearance of multiple arrows in one crossbow is indeed surprising, but judging from today's situation, the range and power are not strong, and the threat is not great. Changing the spear to a shield can basically avoid a large number of casualties.[

The key is kerosene. I heard that Cao Cao gave us [-] barrels of kerosene, but I think it is too little. When Liu Jing set fire to Cao Jun’s water village in Chibi, he used up [-] barrels of kerosene. In a fight, five thousand barrels of kerosene is far from enough. "

Before he knew it, Sun Quan's thoughts had completely caught up with Zhou Yu, and the unhappiness he had with Zhou Yu before was also gone. Sun Quan pondered for a while and asked: "Gong Jin means that I want to ask Cao Cao again for Fire oil, right!"

Zhou Yu nodded, "Actually, I have two ideas. One is to capture Xiazhi County as soon as possible. Although it is not the kind of kerosene we want, it can burn after all, and it can block the warships of the Jiangxia Army on the water. ;Secondly, I hope to get the method of refining kerosene from Cao Cao. In the future, even if we can't find kerosene in Jiangdong, we can still use trade means to get kerosene from the Central Plains."

Sun Quan nodded slowly, "Gong Jin said very well, I want to entrust you with the task of capturing Xiazhi County, can you accept it?"

After finishing speaking, Sun Quan turned his head to look at Zhou Yu. He actually wanted Zhou Yu to be the coach of the battle against Jiangxia, but Zhang Zhao and a group of civil servants would definitely object, and Cheng Pu, it would be difficult for him to cooperate with Zhou Yu, so let's go first Let Zhou Yu fight for Xiazhi County. If he succeeds, it won't be too late to use him.

Zhou Yu bowed immediately and said, "My minister is willing to share the worries of Marquis Wu!"

"Okay! I will give you [-] troops, with Xu Sheng as the deputy general. I hope you can take Xiazhi County for me within ten days."

"Follow the order!"

Zhou Yu took the talisman and retreated. Sun Quan thought for a while and ordered the guards to say, "Let Zhang Wen come and see me!"

Not long after, Zhang Wen hurried over, bowed and said, "See Marquis Wu!"

Sun Quan smiled gently and said: "Huishu will go to Xuchang again for me and tell Cao Cao that [-] barrels of kerosene is not enough to defeat Jiang Xia's army. I hope he can add another [-] barrels of kerosene. If it is inconvenient to transport, It’s okay to tell me how to refine fire oil, I hope he can help me defeat Liu Jing with sincerity.”

Zhang Wen nodded silently, "Wei Chen understands, let's go to Xuchang now."

The terrain of Qichun County is high in the east and low in the west. To the north and northeast are the vast Dabie Mountains, which separate Qichun County from the Central Plains. To the southeast, it borders Lujiang County, and to the west and south, it faces Jiangxia County across the river.

Influenced by the Dabie Mountains, most of the land in Qichun County is hilly and mountainous. Only the west and south along the river are rich plains. There are only three counties in Qichun County: Zhu County, Qichun County, Xunyang County and the whole Seventy percent of the county's population is located along the river.

This time, the Jiangxia army sent troops to occupy Juchun County, in fact, it occupied its three county towns along the river. In addition, Huang Zhong led an army of [-] to the east of Xunyang, preparing to meet Cheng Pu's army of [-].

On a long and narrow plain, Huang Zhong led an army of [-] troops and was marching eastward at a fast pace. In the north, there are hills and mountains, while in the south there is a stretch of lake. This lake is actually connected to Pengze Lake through the Yangtze River. It is the Jiangbei part of Pengze Lake, located between Qichun County and Lujiang County. The part in Qichun County is called Xunze Lake, while the other half of the lake is in Lujiang County, which is renamed Songze Lake.

At this time, Huang Zhong's army had entered the territory of Lujiang County. Huang Zhong got the information that Cheng Pu's army had arrived in Wan County in the northeast and stationed there. It had been stationed for four days. It seemed that they were waiting for something.

Huang Zhong had already received news that the [-] Jiangdong Army was stationed in Wan County. At this time, the Jiang Xia Army was still nearly two hundred miles away from Wan County. Huang Zhong was not in a hurry to go north for a decisive battle.

Huang Zhong's most urgent task is to find military rations and supplies. He hesitates that most of Qichun County's inland areas are desolate mountainous and hilly areas. He can't find supplies on the road, and he has to rely on Jiangxia to send military rations and supplies. [

Therefore, when they set off, Huang Zhong and Liu Jing made a supply plan, and used ships to transport the supplies to the vicinity of Songze Town on the north side of Songze Lake.

Huang Zhong raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already dusk, but Songze Town had not arrived. He was already two days behind schedule. If he was one night later, he was worried that the supply fleet would leave Returning to Songze Lake, his current food is only enough for one day. If there is no supply, they will face the fate of running out of food, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Huang Zhong became a little anxious, and immediately ordered someone to find a guide. The guide was an old man in his fifties, from Xunyang County, who made a living by gathering herbs and knew the topography of Qichun and Lujiang counties like the back of his hand. Huang Zhong asked him, "How far is Songze Town?"

The guide saluted and said, "Reporting to the old general, our current place is called Yuzui Bay, and we are still more than twenty miles away from Songze Town."

Huang Zhong frowned, and there were still more than twenty miles, which meant that they would not reach Songze Town before dark. Seeing that the soldiers were exhausted, he felt a little embarrassed. At this moment, there were soldiers beside him Said: "General Zhao is here!"

General Zhao is naturally Zhao Yun. He is not good at water warfare, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the deputy general of Huang Zhong, and together with Huang Zhong, he went to fight against the Jiangdong army led by Cheng Pu. Originally, Liu wanted Zhao Yun to lead a new army of [-] well-trained prisoners of war to go north. Anlu County, defending Cao Jun's invasion of Anlu County, but Zhao Yun cooperated with Huang Zhong, so that the confidence of defeating Jiangdong Army will be greater.

Liu then changed his mind and appointed Zhao Yun as Huang Zhong's lieutenant general to face Cheng Pu's army in the east. At this time, Zhao Yun urged him to come forward with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, old general, how far is Songze Town?"

For Huang Zhong, with Zhao Yun around, this battle is like adding wings to a tiger. Although Zhao Yun is his lieutenant general, Huang Zhong also knows that Zhao Yun has a lot of experience in the army, has experienced many battles, and has a deep relationship with the state shepherd. He despises negligence and discusses everything with Zhao Yun.

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "There are still more than twenty miles away from Songze Town, but it's getting dark, and I'm worried that the supply ship won't be able to wait for us."

Before Huang Zhong could finish speaking, Zhao Yun smiled and said, "The army is very tired. The old general took them to rest first. I will lead an army to Songze Town to find a supply ship!"

Huang Zhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Then there will be General Lao Zilong!"

Zhao Yun waved to his five hundred subordinates and said, "Everyone follow me!"

He led [-] troops and continued to go eastward under the guidance of the guide. Huang Zhong saw that they were getting far away, and immediately ordered: "Stay in camp and rest!"

As night fell, the moon came up, and the clear moonlight shone on the distant mountain mausoleum, covering the mountain mausoleum with a layer of light silver. Bright.

Although the moonlight was suffocatingly beautiful, Zhao Yun had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of mountains, moons and lakes. He kept urging the soldiers to speed up their journey. As a veteran general, he could fully understand Huang Zhong's worries. Once the supply is missed and the food is cut off, what does it mean for the army?

The distance of more than [-] miles was not far away. After half an hour, Zhao Yun saw Songze Town from a distance, a place where hundreds of fishermen lived together.

But at this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly reined in his horse, pointed his spear at a forest dozens of paces away and shouted, "Who is it!"

The soldiers suddenly became tense, squatting on the ground, covering their bodies with shields in their hands, and staring at the dark woods. At this moment, several people rushed out of the woods, and the leader shouted: "General Zhao, we It's the Jiang Xia army scout!"

When the people approached, they were indeed wearing Jiang Xia army armor. Although they knew Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun didn't know them. He was still vigilant, pointed his spear at the people, and turned around and ordered: "Search them!"

Some soldiers rushed up, searched the scouts carefully, and reported to Zhao Yun, "General Qi, they all have military badges, and they belong to us."

"Bring them up!"

The soldiers brought up a few scouts, and the first one knelt down on one knee and said, "General Zhao, we are under General Lou Fa. General Lou Fa sent supplies to General Zhao under the order of Zhou Mu. We are looking for troops everywhere. .”[

After finally hearing the news about the supply ship, Zhao Yun showed a smile on his face and asked, "Where is the fleet now?"

"Reporting to the general, the fleet is in a bay to the east of Songze Town."

Zhao Yun immediately ordered: "Take me to see General Lou Fa!"

The team continued to move forward, but the speed slowed down. Zhao Yun glanced at the scout leader and saw that he was quite tall and strong, so he asked, "How do you know me?"

Shi Chang scratched his head and said: "Xizhi used to be a Yellow Turban Army, followed General Zhao in Runan, was captured by Cao Army, sold as a slave, and finally fled to Jiangxia to join the army. It has been four years now."

Hearing that he actually followed him, Zhao Yun's heart was touched a little, and he asked him again, "What's your name?"

"The humble name is Chen Zhong!"

Zhao Yun nodded, "Since you were my subordinate, I will tell Lou Fa that you will still follow me from now on."

Shida was overjoyed, "The humble official is willing to follow the general!"

Speaking of this, Chief Shi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "I have something to report to the general. We were originally on the lake, but yesterday we caught a Jiangdong sentry ship. It seems that there is something wrong. General Lou is a little nervous. The fleet sailed into a relatively secluded bay, and I don't know what happened specifically."

Zhao Yun frowned, why?Is the Jiangdong Army going to come from the water?
