Huainan will surrender to Zhao, which is actually reasonable.

With Bai Sheng’s failure and his disappearance, Huainan is like a child abandoned by his father and has been in a dilemma: on the other side of the river is the country of Yue, which takes all the land in the east of the river, and the upper reaches of the Huai River is the king of Chu who is ready to retake Huainan at any time. Master, Bai Sheng’s heirs and retainers are like a rat on a sinking ship, panicking all day long.

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Wuxi arranged for him to sneak into Huainan for many years, and the black-clothed officers who had already been staff officers dispatched one after another to persuade Bai Sheng’s son Wang Sunyan. It is said that if Huainan was recaptured by King Zhang of Chu, the core figures of Bai Sheng who rebelled against the party would definitely be punished, and it would not be impossible for them to be killed; Stripped of all land and power, and distributed to the remote south.

Rather than that, it’s better to surrender to Zhao!

“The Duke of Zhao is the uncle of the Central Plains. He is entrusted by the emperor to command the princes and has the will to pacify the world. However, in the south, the Zhao State’s cavalry is useless and must rely on the navy. At that time, all generals in Huainan can be reused. In order to make Huainan Peace of mind, let the people be attached, Zhao Hou will treat the young master preferentially, and he can at least be a county king in the future…”

While tempting with sweet words, Zhao Jun also stepped up his approach to Huainan. The divisions of Xu County, Donghai County, and Guangling County continued to cross Chaohu after capturing Yihu, and frequently put pressure on Juchao.

Under the coercion and temptation of Zhao State with one hand and one soft hand, Wang Sunyan, who had no place to stay, only hesitated for a short time, and then all fourteen cities including Juchao, Ying, and Sixth surrendered to Zhao!

In May, Yingdu, who had just quelled the civil unrest, did not have time to send an edict to persuade him to surrender. Zhao Jun had already taken all the towns in Huainan…

Yingdu was thousands of miles away, so it was beyond the reach of the whip, but the Yue Kingdom on the other side responded immediately.

…

One early morning in late May, the Huainan Water Village in Yongpu, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, was silent.

In the process of attacking Wu State for many years, Bai Sheng had almost mastered all the forces of Chu State’s boat divisions, because he was able to transport his soldiers to Yingdu by boat after he decided to rebel. Originally, the Huainan navy was able to be on par with the Yue navy, but after going halfway to Yingdu, it was no longer a match. In the past two years in the Yue Kingdom’s competition for Jiangdong, the Huainan navy suffered repeated defeats, and finally did not dare to. Crossing the river, they can only hide in the water village. As Huainan lifts the ground and surrenders to Zhao, they will soon become the Huainan boat masters of the Zhao state…

Huainan was originally the land of Ying and Yanqun Shu. The head of Wu and the tail of Chu were once occupied by the State of Chu, and then seized by the State of Wu. There is no sense of belonging, anyway, whoever is stronger and who occupies this place is their monarch. In this way, even if the person riding on the head is replaced by Zhao Guo, they have not changed the psychological burden of the family, but are glad that they finally have the protection of a big country, so they don’t have to survive in the cracks of Chu Yue.

Wang Sunyan on Juchao’s side conveyed that after the generals of the Zhao army would come to take over Yongpu Water Village soon, the water village was full of joy and relaxed their vigilance. But dare to take food from the mouth of the great northern country?

However, this night, the Yue people came unexpectedly, and they didn’t come from the lower reaches of Huainan who were on guard, but from the upper reaches…

Above the river, through the light mist in the early morning, dozens of typical Wuyue small battleships, under the command of the Mengchong battleship in the middle, went down the river and moved quickly downstream.

They came from Pengze Lake, which is hundreds of miles away. With the whole country of Yue taking the eastern part of the Yangtze River, the western border also extended to Yuzhang, and the border with the State of Chu was Pengze Lake. Naturally, a navy was secretly stationed there. To deal with the changing situation in Huainan.

Now, these dozens of Vietnamese ships are like a giant net, quietly surrounding the still sleeping Yongpu Water Village, until they were discovered by the Huainan sailors who were vigilant on the water village, and then they suddenly launched an attack.

On the command ship of the country of Yue, Xie Yong, the general of the Yue army, beat the drum, and the drumbeat of the battle broke the silence of the dawn, which was shocking. There was a loud scream of killing on the Yueren boat, and the war flags fluttering on the bow roared under the drag of the river wind. Or rush straight to the gate of the water village, or leave the boat and land on the shore, barefoot and with a sword in your mouth to climb the gate of the village!

Yongpu Water Village was suddenly attacked, and some were caught off guard. They hurriedly wanted to prevent boats and soldiers from going out to meet the enemy. In the water, the ships in the water village were also ignited by rockets, and they burned one by one…

A few days later, when the generals of Zhao State who came to receive the water village arrived in a hurry, the Yongpu water village had been burned to a white ground, and the Huainan navy was almost wiped out. , and the rest were captured by the Vietnamese.

“Yu Yue’s tongue, how dare he act so boldly!”

When the news reached Guangling City (Han), Qu Ao, the prefect of Guangling County, was furious and regretful. Because of his cautiousness, Zhao’s boatmen were still a step behind in heading south.

Two years ago, Zhao Wushi ordered Sanqi to build 200 warships in the name of “attacking Korea”. With the success of the strategic deception, these ships have now all been dispatched to the south. They sailed along the coastline, sailed up the Huaihe estuary, and then entered the canal Hangou dug by Wu State but made wedding dresses for the Zhao people. , arrived at Guangling.

If the map was fast, it could have entered the sea from the mouth of the big river. The warships of Wu and Vietnam used this route. The reason why they are so cautious is that although the Zhao State has ships, the training of the navy is still insufficient, and the actual combat capability is even more clumsy. These warships rushed into the river from the sea. Another great defeat in Langya…

After all, the Beiren who were recruited and trained the day after tomorrow couldn’t compare with the Nanren who lived on boats since childhood. This gap cannot be made up in a year or two.

The Yue people seemed to know this very well. They didn’t dare to go to war directly with Zhao, but they learned that when Huainan surrendered to the Zhao army, all the river boats of Yue country suddenly moved out and defeated Huainan boats again in Yongpu. The teacher also burned down several water villages, almost reducing Huainan’s water power to zero.

Just when Qu Ao was annoyed, at the same time, the Yue Kingdom Wucheng on the south bank of the great river, Yue Qing Wenzhong, who had planned this matter with all his strength, also excitedly reported the victory to Yue Jun Goujian.

…

“Congratulations, Your Majesty, as a result, Zhao State’s idea of ​​incorporating Huainan sailors has come to nothing. Although there are quite a few sailors in Zhao State, they have only been trained by Wu State’s descendants for a short period of time, and they are not good at water warfare. Can stop on the North Shore in case we go northward.”

Wen Zhong said this, but Gou Jian smiled: “The widow has no ambition to go north.”

Gou Jian got his revenge after destroying his husband’s difference. Because of the double threats of Bai Sheng and Zhao State, he did not slaughter heroes like in history. Except for Fan Li’s departure, Wen Zhong became the minister of Yue State, and the rest of the doctors , Warlords have awards.

Gou Jian was pacing in the palace of the former state of Wu, and said slowly: “Shao Bo once said that compared with the princes in the north, the Yue Kingdom has a vast territory and few people, and it is difficult to rule the vast territory. Even if there is no Zhao State in the north, the territory of the few people is only Jianghuai. Oranges growing in Huainan are oranges, and oranges growing in Huaibei are oranges, and the more people who go north, may lose the good battles they had in the south, and they will repeat the death of Fucha.”

“Therefore, the widow is content to be the leader of the barbarians in the south, whose territory is no more than Jiang in the north and Pengze in the west, and only wants to be preserved between Zhao and Chu, and slowly manage the south.”

After a few years of peaceful life, Gou Jian also seemed to be a lot richer, and it seemed that the spirit of the eagle had also faded a lot.

He narrowed his eyes and said, “However… if Zhao Hou has the heart of borrowing Huainan’s boat division to plot the Yue Kingdom, the few people will not be captured! The gap between national strength is too great. In Jiangbei, the Yue Kingdom is determined to be unable to fight against the enemy Zhao Jun. But on this big river, the navy who want Yue State will always be stronger than Zhao State’s!”

“Your Majesty said that.”

Wen Zhong bowed his hands, and said again: “Now that the Huainan boat division has been destroyed, the Zhao Renzhou boat alone cannot threaten Jiangdong. However, this time Zhao Jun’s purpose to take Huainan is not the Yue State, but the Chu State. … The civil strife in Chu has just subsided, so I’m afraid it’s not Zhao’s opponent, plus Yue Hu’s mouth grabs food and destroys the Huainan boat division, which has offended Zhao. Your Majesty, the situation is like this, and Yue Guo wants to stay out of it, I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

“Then what should be done in the light of what Mr. Chong sees?”

Wen Zhong said: “The big river is thousands of miles long~www.mtlnovel.com~ From Shu to Yue, it controls the life of the east and west, and among them, Jingchu is the center of the river. If Zhao Guo captured Yingdu and stationed troops in Jianghan, You only need to build a boat master, you can go down the river and go east. Since ancient times, those who live in the upper reaches of the water battle often have the advantage. Above, the advantage of the navy masters of the Yue Kingdom will also be gone!”

“There is an old saying in the Central Plains that the lips die and the teeth are cold. The two countries of Chu and Yue are like Yu and Guo in those days. They are like the relationship between lips and teeth. If the state of Chu falls, the state of Yue will be in danger!”

“That’s it…” Gou Jian pondered for a long time before he said, “King Zhang of Chu is the grandson of a widow. After he recaptured the capital of Ying, he once borrowed food from the State of Yue, and the widow gave him permission, and ordered the cities near Pengze Lake to the State of Chu. Conveying millet and rice. In addition, the Yue soldiers from the south went north to Wu, and the navy soldiers gathered, and the Dajiang River contained the Zhao army in Guangling and Huainan. If Zhao Hou does not intend to destroy the state of Chu this time, then the state of Yue can maintain this balance of power. Obey the state of Zhao, and secretly unite with Chu and confront the state of Zhao. If Zhao Hou plans to annex Jingchu in a battle this time, and seize the upper reaches…”

Gou Jian’s voice suddenly became fierce, and the sinister Gou Jian seemed to be back again: “Then the country of Yue must go north with all its strength, conquer the Jianghuai with the navy, and try to keep the kingdom of Chu from perishing!”
