Chapter 204: Punishing Wu County (2)

Zhou Yu's army passed Piling and marched towards Wu County in a mighty way.

Zhou Yu was wearing a white robe and rode on his beloved white horse, holding the reins in one hand, and holding the other hand firmly grasping the feather fan carefully made by Deng Yu. When the horse slowed down, Zhou Yu shook it a few times, with an elegant and elegant posture, which made the girls in the female barracks scream in their hearts. Deng Yu rode on the horse, secretly looking at Zhou Yu who was shaking the feather fan with his eyes from time to time, smiling, and feeling as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

After marching all the way, everyone saw an extremely huge lake appeared on the right side of the road. The endless lake water disappeared in the horizon, and the blue waves were rippling, which was many times larger than Chaohu Lake!

Zhou Yu rode his horse and whipped it, caught up with a carriage in front, and said to the people in the carriage: "Mr. Wenhe, look, this big lake is Zhenze."

Jia Xu was 46 years old at the time. Although he was still healthy, in order to reduce the pain of fighting, Zhou Yu asked Ma Jun to customize this carriage for Jia Xu. The carriage was spacious, with thick wool pads in the carriage, and the outer rings of the four wheels were wrapped in thick cowhide to reduce bumps on the road. People can lie or sit in it, which is still quite comfortable.

Jia Xu sat up in the carriage after hearing this, and looked up. Sure enough, he saw a vast and boundless lake. He couldn't help but say excitedly: "I heard for a long time that there are three major lakes in the world, Zhenze ranks third, second only to Pengze and Yunmengze. I remember that in "Shangshu Yugong" records that Huaihai is Yangzhou... After the three rivers entered, Zhenze was settled. Although the three rivers were not clear about the reference, the meaning of the three rivers had already indicated that the three rivers were the way to excrete the tailbone of Zhenze into the sea. If these three waterways were unobstructed, Zhenze would not cause any congestion. Now before Zhenze, there was a vast smoke and waves. Where can I find the three rivers? Haha."

At this time, Zang Ba happened to lead a white-bearded guide to the carriage. When he heard Jia Xu's words, the guide hurriedly bowed and replied: "Sir, Xiaomin lived here since he was a child. I heard that the three major rivers connecting Zhenze are called Loujiang, Songjiang and Dongjiang, all of which are direct routes to the sea."

Zhou Yu sighed: "It is not an exaggeration to call such a large area of ​​water. In the future, we will build a naval fleet, expedition to the ocean, and promote the prestige of China. In my opinion, it is most convenient to train the naval army here."

Jia Xu's eyes were filled with surprise when he heard this, and then he felt deeply admired and said, "The lord is very talented and wise, and he is convinced."

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "This matter is far away. At least for a few years, I can only think about it. By the way, Xuan Gao, do you have any latest information on the scouts there?" Zhou Yu said and turned his head to Zang Ba.

Zang Ba immediately replied, "Brother, the news sent by the scout in front was that Yan Baihu had 30,000 troops from his troops, and his younger brother Yan Yu was the commander, and he stationed heavily in Wuxi, waiting for our army to fight to the decisive battle."

"Thirty thousand people? Yan Baihu is coming out in full bloom this time." Zhou Yu pondered, but his eyes turned to Jia Xu, which was inquiry. This time he went to Wujun, Zhou Yu brought only Jia Xu and became a military advisor. Because Wang Yue reported that the prefect of Jiangxia Huang Zu had abnormal movements today, Zhou Yu asked Chen Gong to go to Wang Yue to help Wang Yue deal with Huang Zu. Lujiang's government affairs were left to Zhang Hong to take care of.

Jia Xu stroked his long beard with his hands, his eyes just circling around the guide, and then asked: "Old man, can I bypass the road from here to Wuxian?"

The guide replied honestly: "Yes, yes, but you have to go around a long road. They are all hilly and mountainous areas. There are people living in the mountains. They are extremely vicious and eat people and drink blood. It is difficult for you to pass."

"Then~~The Zhenze waters are so wide that you may reach Wuxian?" Jia Xu asked again.

The guide replied: "Xiaomin once heard from fishermen near the village that once a strong wind blew their fishing boats far away. After the wind stopped, they saw a piece of land and only after they arrived at Wu County."

"That's great!" Jia Xu laughed loudly, Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this. The two of them had a very tacit understanding.

Zhou Yu immediately ordered: "Xuan Gao, please inform Xingba quickly and order their Jinfan army to arrive here from the water route. At the same time, he sent someone to invite the fisherman near the old man who had been to Wuxian and asked him to lead the way. We will take a walk from this vast Zhenze to Wuxian."

"Yes~" Zang Ba clasped his fists, turned around and whipped the horse and left.

Zhou Yu said to Lu Dai next to him again: "Dong Gong, go and inform General Dong Xi that his five thousand soldiers in the camp do not need to walk anymore, I will ask them to take a boat."

Lu Dai showed a knowing smile on his face, and he clasped his fists and replied: "Abide by the order!"

Wuxi City.

Wuxi is an ancient city. The tin produced on the tin mountain beside the city between Qin and Zhou dynasties. In the Han Dynasty, the tin was exhausted, so it was named Wuxi.

At this moment, 30,000 troops were stationed in Wuxi City, with flags waving, and the soldiers were constantly strengthening the city defense and preparing for the equipment to defend the city. Each of the generals in the army had a serious expression, and the shadow of war enveloped the city.

Yan Yu was dressed in military uniform and sat upright in the county government office. People kept coming in to ask for instructions and reports. Yan Yu arranged one by one. Although he was not calm, it also showed that he was not just a rude general. After years of training, he also had the style of a commander in the army.

"Report~~" A scout knelt down in front of Yan Yu.

"Report quickly~~" Yan Yu said impatiently. His work over the past few days had already made him feel dizzy.

"Zhou Yu's army has set up camps outside the east gate. It depends on the size of the camps. "The scout reported.

"I understand, you have to keep a close eye on it." Yan Yu said, and waved his hand. He was a little excited. What should come finally came. Zhou Yu, don't think I'm afraid of you. For 30,000 to 10,000, even if your soldiers have strong combat power, they can't resist the many people of me.

On the second day, Zhou Yu led his army to challenge the battle at the city. Yan Yu could not bear it and went out to fight. Zang Ba came out of the battle in Zhou Yu's army and killed three generals under Yan Yu. Yan Yu went to fight in person and barely tied with Zang Ba. After fifty rounds, Zang Ba exerted his strength, Yan Yu was defeated and hurriedly defeated back to the formation. He led his troops back to the city. Zhou Yu did not pursue and striked the gold to withdraw his troops.

After two consecutive days, Zhou Yu did not rush to attack the city, but continued to send people to challenge the city. Yan Yu knew that he was defeated and was only hurting his morale, so he stayed in the door. Every day, the soldiers sent by Zhou Yu cursed at the city, and Yan Yu thought he had not heard it. In desperation, the Zhou army soldiers had to return in disappointment.

Yan Yu secretly was secretly happy and thought to himself that Zhou Yu was also a silver-like wax gun. Apart from fighting alone, would he have no way to attack the city?

A subordinate reminded Yan Yu: "General, the enemy has not attacked the city for the past two days. This matter is a bit strange. We must guard against their conspiracy."

Yan Yu scolded, "What are you talking nonsense? I think Zhou Yu is a fool. He doesn't know how to attack the city. Don't disturb the morale of the army! Besides, I will cut you down!"
