Chapter 1104: Gongsun Du
Zhou Yu is in the land of Liaodong at the moment, leading his three thousand soldiers and horses, and is looking for Yuan Xi's lair here.
Since half a month ago, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce proposed a surprise attack on Yuan Xi's lair with Liu Zheng, they led their soldiers and horses to separate from Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng led most of Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses and continued to Hejian County, while Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, leading the people, went directly to Le'an County in Qingzhou.
From here in Le'an County, there is a route terminal connecting Qingzhou and Jizhou by Liu Zheng.
Because there is a large stone near the sea, it is also called Jieshi Port.
Historically, Cao Cao saw this magnificent sea here on the way back from his expedition to Wuhuan, and once wrote a famous poem.
It's called "Watching the Sea".
The first two sentences are to face the Jieshi in the east to view the sea.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce came here, but they didn't have such a state of mind, they just thought that they would become famous in one battle and help Liu Zheng solve these alien races in the north.
Jieshi Port has Liu Zheng's shipping fleet, 3,000 soldiers and horses, only a few ships, can be transported to Youzhou.
In the vicinity of Changli County, Liaodong, Youzhou.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce led their three thousand soldiers and horses, and ten days of dry food to get off the ship.
This was the first time that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had come to this desolate place in the north.
However, this did not make Zhou Yu and Sun Ce feel unfamiliar, but they were eager to try, this was the first time they led soldiers and horses to expedition against the enemy.
I especially want to do this thing well, and perform well in front of Liu Zheng.
"Gong Jin, this should be the place of Liaodong, Your Majesty gave us the news that although Yuan Xi is in Youzhou, he put his nest in the Liaodong region, and Fanyang, the governor of Youzhou, is too close to Jizhou, and they will not garrison troops."
"Besides, in the Liaodong region, it is the territory of those Karasuma people, and if we make a surprise attack, we will definitely be able to inflict severe damage on those Karasuma people and Yuan Xi."
After going ashore, Sun Ce told Zhou Yu about his plans.
Although they are not familiar with the Liaodong region, Liu Zheng is familiar with it here.
Liu Zheng had already started sending spies to the Youzhou area a few years ago, and these spies had been operating in Youzhou for several years.
Every year, some news is passed back to Liu Zheng's territory.
This time, Zhou Yu personally went to the territory of the northern nomads.
The idea was to contact the spies who had been ambushed here before Liu Zheng.
As long as they get in touch with them, Zhou Yu and the others will not be scurrying around here like headless flies, and they have enough information to quickly grasp some information.
Then, based on these messages, a corresponding battle plan will be formulated.
"Let's change our outfits and see if we can get some small tribes in exchange for some horses. When we have horses, we will go to the nearest city and contact our spies. ”
Zhou Yu compared the plan in his heart with Sun Ce, and Sun Ce also agreed with Sun Ce and others.
A group of people logged in.
Soon he hid his figure and appeared in the Liaodong region, a tribe that leaned towards the coast.
Nomads live in tribal gatherings, with a tribe of more than a thousand people and a few dozen small tribes.
Raising cattle, sheep and horses.
They don't stay in one place for long.
Because the abundance of water and grass in each place is different, when the cattle and horses stay in one place for too long.
The forage here will be drastically reduced. And then the cattle and sheep will have no food source.
So the tribes of those nomads often change locations.
It is precisely because of this that they cannot have too many people gathered together, too many people gathered together, and the more animals they say, will stay in one place for a shorter time.
Instead, small groups of people gather together and are able to stay longer in some places.
Because of this, when Zhou Yu and Sun Ce and others approached these small tribes, there was no danger.
Although there is a natural estrangement between the Karasuma people and the Han Chinese, that was only in the past.
In the last two hundred years, there has been a close relationship between the Karasuma people and the Han Chinese, and everyone no longer has that sense of strangeness.
Even often trade and do business.
So occasionally meet some Han people, these Karasuma people will not make any fuss.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce spent some money and bought dozens of war horses from them.
It is here that I have the first combat power.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce actually wanted to buy more war horses, but they didn't have enough money in their hands.
Moreover, the money of the Han Empire was in the hands of these nomads. It's not so equivalent, what they want more is food, and these things, Zhou Yu doesn't have now.
So it's good to be able to buy dozens of war horses.
Anyway, after having these dozens of war horses. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will be able to get more war horses.
The rest is simple.
The soldiers and horses led by Zhou Yu temporarily found a place to hide, and then, Sun Ce led these dozens of cavalry and began to plunder in this vicinity.
A small tribe that specializes in finding the Karasuma people to rob and kill.
The Karasuma people are never soft on the Han people, and most of them kill the men of the Han people, and even if they don't kill them, they will enslave them.
For women, it is more of a tool to vent, and there are almost no human rights at all.
Similarly, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce will not have any mercy for the Karasuma people, and mercy for the enemy is cruelty to themselves.
Although these are just some of the common people of Karasuma, Karasuma is a soldier, and both men and women can become warriors.
Today, these people may be just a helpless people, but tomorrow they can become horsemen who sweep the world on horseback.
Therefore, when Sun Ce took people, dressed up as horse thieves, and intercepted and killed small tribes, he would not have any mercy.
In one day, Sun Ce swept away two small tribes, and the horses under his command changed from dozens to hundreds.
The number of people grew all at once.
In just two days, Sun Ce and his 3,000 men and horses soon got 3,000 war horses, and they had a foothold in this land of Liaodong.
After getting the war horse and equipping the 3,000 soldiers under his command, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were finally a little happier.
With these horses, they were able to quickly go back and forth in the land of Liaodong to carry out blitzkriegs.
In today's eastern Liaodong, there are not many soldiers and horses.
Most of the men and horses were taken away by Yuan Xi and Bun Dun, and some of the remaining people were just some old, weak, sick and disabled, and were not suitable for the expedition.
And this just gave Zhou Yu and Sun Ce a chance.
After dressing up their identities a little, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce came to Changli County, where they met a spy who Liu Zheng was ambushing here.
It is also a hundred households in the eastern Liaodong region.
