After some discussion, Fuli's battle plan gradually took shape. It was decided to use the Second Naval Division to go north to attack Dadu by sea, forcing the army of Meng Yuanzong to go south and not dare to move, so as to win a fighter plane for the annihilation of the enemy's guard army. The capture of Fuli became the prelude to the entire General War, and Zhao Yu decided to gather the first, second, and third brigades, cavalry brigades and artillery brigades of the imperial front protection army, as well as the second army and Dugebu to attack Fuli.

The battle was carried out with Liu Zhixue as the commander-in-chief of the front line, and Ni Liang was the deputy, and what tactics and tactics were used were handled by the two cameras. In order to ensure the supply of materials for the army, Lingbi was temporarily set up as a base for grain and material turnover, which was garrisoned by the Fifth Brigade and the Baggage Brigade of the Imperial Front Guard. Liu Zhixue and the two agreed that the imperial guards would first capture Qixian and Linjian south of the canal, and the second army would clear the enemy strongholds south of the canal after receiving reinforcements, forming an encirclement of Fuli. The next day, the troops set up camp and marched to Fuli, accompanied by a large number of ships transporting supplies, while the emperor's camp remained in Lingbi.

Lingbi County was upgraded from a town, the city was narrow, and the entire county was annexed because there were less than 1,000 households. At the moment, Song and Mongolia went to war again, and the large families in the city took refuge and evacuated, and the population was even smaller. In fact, this is also the norm in the Lianghuai region, first the Song and Jin Dynasty confronted each other here for more than 100 years, wars broke out from time to time, and the two sides went back and forth, resulting in barren land and a sharp decline in population. Then, after decades of continuous war between the Song and Mongolians, although there is some recovery, it is mostly the local prosperity brought by the Mengyuan military tun.

Zhao Yu came all the way, only to realize that the tragic situation of no rooster crow for a hundred miles was not an exaggeration of the literati, but a fact. Villages and towns are hard to see even on a day's march, large fields are barren, and wild beasts do not even avoid the crowds, haunting the main roads. At night, the tigers howled and the wolves howled all night, and the beasts walked around the camp, and the army did not dare to travel in small groups at night to avoid being attacked by fierce beasts.

The city was too small to garrison a large army. This section of the canal is narrow, and it is difficult to miss the boats traveling in the opposite direction, and there was a battle between the fleets transporting Huashigang in the Jingkang period, which led to a rebellion. And so many boats moored on the canal are also very vulnerable to attack, so Zhao Yu set up the camp on the shore of the lake in the west of the city after the investigation, and set up a water village where appropriate.

More than 100 miles from north to south of the lake, more than 40 miles from east to west, the lake is quite broad, it is the largest Hubo in Suzhou area, slightly inferior to Hongze Lake near the left. The water village was built in a large lake bay, backed by the camp of the Fifth Brigade of the Imperial Front Protector Army, felled wood and set up the village, set up a water gate, built a trestle bridge, and the boats docked in it, and the Imperial Front Navy and the escorted inland water army served as a guard.

Zhao Yu likes water, and the living facilities on the boat are complete, which is much more comfortable and convenient than in the camp tent, so he still lives on the boat, but in order to ensure safety, a forbidden area is still demarcated in the water village, and the pro-guard group is also deployed on the wharf, and it is strictly forbidden for unrelated people to approach. And his busiest and most tired time is often before the start of the big war, he needs to formulate a strategy, plan and arrange, and dispatch troops. The group of people who follow Hu is also rarely idle.

Early this morning, Wang Yinglin, Zhuang Gongcong, Chen Zhishi and others made an appointment to go out of the camp to explore the ancient world. Lingbi is not only famous for producing Lingbi stone, but also is an ancient battlefield, the final decisive battle between Chu and Han, and the battle of Qixia was carried out here. Xiang Yu, the famous hero of "pulling out the mountain and covering the world", was surrounded by the Han army led by Liu Bang. Liu Bang used the "embattled" suspicious military formation, disintegrated the heart of the Chu soldiers, caused Xiang Yu to be in the middle of the plan, led to the annihilation of the whole army, and performed the heart-wrenching tragedy of "Farewell My Concubine".

Yu Ji, a peerless beauty who followed Xiang Yu's southern expedition to the north, faced with the desperate situation of being embattled and defeated like a mountain, sang the sad song of "The king is exhausted, and the concubine is alive", and then drew his sword and killed herself. According to legend, after Yu Ji killed herself, Xiang Yu took her body and galloped south, but the Han soldiers chased after her, and Xiang Yu had no choice but to leave Yu Ji's body. Later, the village that appeared here was called "Ba Lipu", which means the place where the overlord said goodbye to his concubine. After Xiang Yu broke through, Yu Ji's body was moved and buried in the east of "Ba Lipu" by the Chu soldiers who had no time to break through, and the village that appeared here later was called "Yu Ji Village", and there was a temple to worship.

Zhao Yu doesn't like to study these nihilistic romances, and only likes gold and silver, and has no interest in things like Lingbi Stone that can't be eaten or drunk, let alone appreciate Yaxing. So he refused Wang Yinglin's invitation and stayed in the camp. Thinking about the approaching delivery of several concubines in Lin'an, not only can I not accompany him, but I am a good modern person who runs to the current troubled times to save the country and fight the world, I suddenly feel funny and boring, and I feel even more bored in my heart.

After reading a few chapters, it was full of trivial matters, which made the upset Zhao Yu feel more and more bad, so he asked Zheng Yongbei to go to the lake to relax. Not long after, escorted by several dragon boats, he sailed out of the water village in a gunboat. At this time, it has reached the middle of spring, and the Huaibei area has returned to the earth in spring, the reeds by the lake also show green undulations with the wind, flocks of water birds are foraging on the water surface, and fish also jump out of the water from time to time, everything seems to be vibrant.

Looking at the picturesque lake scenery, Zhao Hao's mood gradually improved, but the little ink in his stomach was not enough to make up a poem to express his inner happiness, and the few remaining 'good poems' in his stomach were ready to be used in the future. After a long circle around the shore of the lake, he asked the boat to anchor two or three miles from the shore.

Wang De, who served with him, naturally knew His Majesty very well, and had already prepared fishing rods, bait, etc., and set up an awning on the foredeck, and put tea and snacks for His Majesty to rest and fish here. Several dragon ships also set up a cordon around the perimeter to prevent a ship from intruding and disturbing the holy driver. Zheng Yong and Tan Fei, who accompanied the pilot, also arranged lookout posts on the ship and arranged guards, leaving only a few personal guards and small yellow doors on the deck responsible for boiling water and serving tea.

Fishing was just to pass the time in Zhao Hao's previous life, but now it has become a busy leisure. However, after fishing for so many years, the skills are not high, and I have never paid attention to the amount of harvest, and of course I am very happy to be able to catch fish. Today his luck seems to be very good, put down a few fishing rods one after another, and in a short time he caught several big fish with ten catties in succession, so that several people around him were busy.

"Your Majesty, are the fish in this lake stupid, how can they swallow the bait when they see it, they are really hungry!" Wang De helped the little emperor pull up a big fish again, and called the little yellow door to knock the struggling big fish out and put it into the wooden basin, seeing that Tan Fei also pulled up the fishing rod over there, a big fish was constantly struggling, he wiped the water splashed on his face and said with a wry smile.

"Fish are not stupid, but there are too many!" Zhao Yu said while hanging the bait and throwing the hook.

"Oh, there are fish in Jiangnan Lake, but they are not as big as the fish here, so why can you easily catch such a big fish!" Wang De still finds it strange that there are also big fish markets like Jiangnan in the south of the Yangtze River, but they are not common, but there are many disasters here.

"Natural and man-made disasters!" Zhao Yu sighed when he heard this. He knows that there are many fish in the lake, and in addition to the limited transportation and storage conditions, it is difficult to transport the fish caught for long distances, but the main reason is that the population is sparse and cannot consume so many resources, unlike in the previous life, when a certain animal could be eaten as a rare species.

"What Your Majesty said is also true, it is difficult to see a boat on such a huge lake, which shows that the surrounding people do not live on water!" Wang De listened to it and thought it was authentic. He also knew that there were many people in the south of the Yangtze River and there was little land, and those who lacked land had to try to make a living, and fishing and hunting were also important means of livelihood for the people in the water. The people here apparently can feed their families on the land alone, and do not need to beg for a living in the water.

"Well, I don't know how many years it will take for Lianghuai to recover and reproduce the scene of Qianmo vertical and horizontal, chickens and dogs smelling each other!" Zhao Yu nodded and frowned. He was worried that not only the two Huai, but also the population of Sichuan and Shu and the Central Plains had also plummeted under the massacre of the Mengyuan and Yuan, and that development required a large number of people, so he considered not only how to win the war, but also how to re-prosper these regions.

And he also knew that after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, considering the need to control Mobei and the Central Plains, Kublai Khan set the capital in Dadu. But due to the climate and the effects of years of war, the economy of the North has withered. However, the economic development of the Jiangnan region is much better than that of the north, and when the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, the damage to the south of the Yangtze River was relatively small, so the economy of the entire Great Yuan mainly relied on the southern region.

As far as he knows, the Jiangnan region accounts for about 70% of the productive forces of the entire Mengyuan and Yuan, and can be described as a veritable economic center of gravity. In this way, Meng Yuan thought that since the Jiangnan region accounted for such a large proportion of the productive forces, it would naturally have to take on the responsibility of supporting the political center, and he was not so concerned about the development of the economy in the north, and this kind of thinking led to the abnormal economic development of the north and the south, the population migrated to the south of the Yangtze River, the population in the northern region was difficult to recover, and the economy was in a depression.

"Your Majesty, take a sip of tea and rest, these fish are enough for us to feast!" Wang Dejian aroused the little emperor's mind again, wiped the sweat on his face, and diverted the topic.

"It's good!" Zhao Yu thought that the fun of fishing was to 'catch but not be able to', and now the fish had to jump on the boat to find food, which also made him feel bored, so he put away the fishing rod.

'Bang, bang...... Wang De hurriedly asked His Majesty to wash up, and brewed hot tea to let the little emperor sit down. Then he instructed the little yellow keeper to clean up the fish he caught, and Zhao Yu sat down and beckoned Tan Fei and Zheng Yong to come over and talk, but before he could say a few words, he heard a few explosions in the distance.

"Your Majesty, stay out of the way!" When Tan Fei heard this, he immediately got up to check, and asked the guards to surround His Majesty, and Zheng Yong also urgently ordered the dragon boat to move closer here to strengthen the vigilance, and put away the anchor, so that if there was a change, he could leave quickly......
