Chapter 1218: Coercion(1/2)

Shi Yong arrived outside Ting County that night and said it was a county, but it was actually just a wooden military camp. After cheating, he rushed in and attacked the county magistrate and occupied the city.

The chaos continued until the morning of the 24th. Shi Yong divided the three thousand troops into three groups to several overseas Chinese hometowns to suppress possible rebellions.

These expatriates from the north were controlled by Su Jun for many years, and were the most unstable.

In the evening of that day, he gathered a thousand people and rushed to the neighboring Ye County, but was defeated and was defeated by a group of armed refugees in Qingzhou.—.

After sending someone to report to Tangyi, Shi Yong's wolf fox retreated to Ting County.

Someone in the county heard the news and fought back. The two sides had a great battle. Fortunately, the refugees in Qingzhou from Ting County were attacked and paralyzed, and eventually they were barely suppressed by Shi Yong, killing many people.

Chen Yan was so angry when he heard this.

Why are he all mediocre people under his command? Why aren’t he smart, good at abilities, and very skilled in doing things? He’s all the trash stuffed into the relationship.

After sighing, he accepted the fact: If Shi Yong had not been in this relationship, he would not have been so quick, anyway, wasn't it?

On the 25th, he also detained the messenger from Jiangnan.

The messenger was confused and had no idea what happened in Tangyi. He was tied up and tortured, causing Chen Yan, Yin Yi and the loyal ministers who came to the third battalion of Huangjia and Iron Cavalry to receive a lot of news.

First of all, the situation in Jianye has stabilized, at least on the surface, but people's hearts are hard to say.

The Danyang and Xuancheng tribes wanted to gather tens of thousands of troops, and more than 10,000 people gathered in advance, led by Liu Chao, went straight to Yangxian.

The two sides fought in Yongshi, the Zhou vanguard was defeated, Liu Chao recovered Yongshi, Pingling and the two counties were Pingling, and then advanced eastward.

On the 23rd, the two sides fought west of Zhangpu Pavilion. They were covered in heavy armor and rushed bravely, carrying several disasters without retreating. After Liu's army stopped a little, Zhou Zha sent troops to attack fiercely, Liu Chao's army was defeated, and Shi Jian, a powerful man in Danyang, died in battle.

Liu Chao then retreated for more than ten miles to camp, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

This news made Chen and Yin quite worried, and they couldn't help but secretly scold Zhou Zha for not doing human affairs and offend the Tao family of Moling? Now they clearly want you to die.

Danyang and Xuancheng rich soldiers gathered together to suppress Zhou's strength, which was not as strong as before.

The second news was that Liu Kun divided up five thousand soldiers and joined the ranks of besieging Jincheng.

This made the loyal ministers of Pu Gu very nervous.

The emperor asked him to rule thousands of elite cavalry, but he sent nearly 400 people across the river, which seemed extremely heroic, but in fact he was already a little regretful.

It’s not that I regretted that these people would die, but that I was worried that the emperor would be disappointed.

Yin Yi was also a little dissatisfied. Before leaving, King Lu gave a face-to-face message to meet people who had crossed the river as much as possible. If not, he should find a way to get them back so as not to lose morale. In the future, the soldiers dare not cross the river alone.

The third is that the Jiangdong tycoons are still recruiting soldiers and ships. The first batch of those who have taken their seats have set off from Kuaiji and Wujun.

This news made everyone look shocked.

No matter how many people they came, this is undoubtedly a new force. Once it is put into the battlefield, it is very likely to change the situation.

"Let's set off immediately and cross the river and head straight to Jianye before the bandit reinforcements arrived." Yin Yi slapped the table and said angrily.

"Duke Yin, the Jianye Navy is still on the river, how can I go south?" Chen Yan's face was bitter.

"I ask you, how many boats are there in Zhou?" Yin Yi said.

"There are always more than a hundred ships. He divided the people into two halves, half patrolling the river surface, and half resting."

"Can more than fifty ships block the river surface?"

"If you don't want to intercept someone on the river, it's best not to."

"What if I fight for the dead?"

Chen Yan was a little surprised and then went silent.

The lives of the local soldiers are worthless. If they cross the river and hit Jianye Navy and die, they will be considered unlucky.

Those who didn't run into it would continue to move forward and land in Jiangnan. As for whether they would be blocked during the landing process, it depends on whether their lives are good.

In places like Wuma Du, Jiang Kuolang was in a hurry. The first time he fought unexpectedly. Now, he crossed the river from there, and Chen Yan also felt that it was not possible with his shallow military knowledge.

"But there are no soldiers now." Chen Yan said helplessly: "It's better to cross the river when the king's army arrives."

"No!" Yin Yi said without any discussion: "The Xuzhou army heads south, and whether it can reach Guangling is still a question.

It will take a long time for the Huainan army to come. When they come, the soldiers and horses of Wu are already on high alert. How can the ships cover the river and the flag armor and star candles pass? There are only a hundred ships now, and there will be more than a thousand ships in the future!"

"But there are no soldiers." Chen Yan sighed.

Yin Yi was so comfortable.

If you want to blame, blame this war for being unprepared, and this is true for both Liang and Jin.

When the emperor discovered that the iron cavalry was crisscrossing the north of the Yangtze River, the Jin army did not dare to fight in the field. And when someone crossed the river south, he decided to conquer the city and seize the territory in Jiangbei. At this time, rebellions in Jiangnan frequently occurred, and the Jin court was in a hurry, and an opportunity to destroy Pu seemed to have appeared.

It’s a pity that the emperor doesn’t know.

If he received news of Qian Feng and Zhou Zha's rebellion, he might have mobilized the main force of the imperial guards, but it would take time for mobilization. In addition, even if a few quick-moving vanguards arrived first, it would take at least half a month later.

It will probably take one or two months to wait for the main force to arrive, and this is quite fast.

Does this opportunity to destroy Jin really exist?

Yin Yi's face was gloomy and sunny. In the end, he could not resist the temptation of the heavenly contribution. He looked at Chen Yan tightly.

He said, "There are thousands of troops on Quanjiao. At most, they won't attack Huaiyangqiu, but they can all be transferred to Tangyi. Don't push them, and send Shi Yong's county soldiers across the river."

While Yin Yi was speaking, someone translated in the ears of the loyal minister of Pugu.

He was a little worried when he heard this, but he wanted to save Qiu Xiaozhong and others from Jiangnan, and even more wanted to make contributions, so he didn't say anything.

Chen Yan was forced by Yin Yi, and finally said: "I can allocate some county soldiers across the river, but there are not enough ships, and at most a thousand people will be ferried at a time."

"Where is the ship?" Yin Yi asked.

Chen Yan smiled bitterly: "Don't joke about Yin. Since many years ago, the Jianye court did not allow refugees to cross the river. There are only the Dongguan and Liyang in various parts of the Yangtze River. Guangling occasionally has naval ships from Jingkou to berth. Even these naval troops only return to Shanxia and Liu Kun and the other two dispatched them. If Su Jun wants to cross the river, Jingkou and Guangling naval masters will listen to him? I am afraid it is not like facing a great enemy. The ships I have collected are just the ferry of the Jiangbei Minjia, and there are only so many in a hurry. If Yin Gong is willing to wait, he may be able to transfer more ships, but I don't know--"

"You search for the ship first." Yin Yi waved his hand immediately and said, "Soldiers are very fast. Today, one will be transferred to some ships at the latest tomorrow, and carry soldiers straight to the Wuma Ferry."

"That place is not easy to cross the river. If you are not prepared, you must be prepared now. Wouldn't you die if you go there?" Chen Yan advised, "It's better to change the place."

Yin Yi looked around and pulled Chen Yan aside and said softly: "You choose a group of old and weak, and cross the river from the five horses in the afternoon, making the momentum bigger. After nightfall, select elite soldiers to go to the river to take the crossing. General Pugu may also mobilize some elite soldiers to cross the south. You do this, if they still encounter the thief navy at night, they will be unlucky, and you won't blame you."

Chen Yan felt bitter in his mouth.

This is the death of the people who want to go to Wumadu.

"This is not OK, that is not OK. I think you don't want to do it anymore. If His Highness King Lu is angry, I think you will end!" Yin Yi said intimidatingly.

Chen Yan was indeed shocked.

Under Yin Yi's cold eyes, he finally nodded helplessly and said, "Try to find more ships."

*******

On the 26th day of the first lunar month, it was already late at night, and there was no trace of light.

The northwest wind stirs up the fine snow head, causing pain in people's cheeks.

Shi Yong tightened the "hard armor and floss" on his body and rubbed his almost frozen hands hard.

The wind and waves are a little bit loud, and sometimes they may make waves.

The ferry floats and sinks in the river, shaking, as if it will overturn at any time.

"General, be careful!" the helm reminded in a hoarse voice.

Shi Yong nodded and looked up at the sky. There was almost nothing except the snow chips falling in the wind.

He looked at the other side again, and there seemed to be a halo like soybeans from afar, flickering in the waves.

He didn't know whether it was the fire on the boat or the lamp on the shore.

A depressing sob came from the cabin and was soon stopped by someone.

Shi Yong didn't have to look at it, and he knew that the county soldiers who were heading south with the boat were crying. When he boarded the boat, there seemed to be two teenagers, and they should be them.

A cry came faintly from afar.

The wind is too strong to hear clearly, and the sky is too dark to see clearly.

"Don't make a sound." The boatmen said to the county soldiers sitting in the center of the cabin while paddling.

The county soldiers turned pale and held the equipment in their hands tightly.

On the river, they were really helpless.

If you encounter a tall enemy ship, dense crossbows that stretch out from the window, and can easily shoot all the people in the ship, it is no longer a shooting, but a torture.

Fortunately, the night obscured their figures, and everything still had a chance to turn around. If anyone is really caught by the enemy, it will be really bad.

Shi Yong thought more deeply than them.

In fact, this is why the regime that is relatively peaceful in Jiangnan must defend Jiangbei.

Without the city blocks in Jiangbei, the garrison of the enemy was allowed to traverse the north shore at will, which was simply unpredictable.

If the troops guarding the Jiangnan Ferry Crossing can fight, they can also annihilate a small number of troops that smuggle ashore, or make the other party dare not smuggle, which makes it meaningless.

If the army guarding the south bank is disheveled and has poor combat power, it will be dangerous.

History is still short, and Shi Yong cannot find corresponding examples in history, but it does not prevent him from having this understanding.
To be continued...
