The Yue people of Wu Rui and Yu Gancheng travel by water, the Yue people live by the water, take the boat as the car, take the pole as the horse, it doesn't matter if the mountains and forests are difficult to walk, they don't have to go to the logging to open the way, the river is a natural green and smooth road.

The boat is brand new, exuding the smell of resin, and its speed does not get off the carriage and horses on the remaining dry water, following the current. Although it was a little shaky, Wu Rui was able to stand firmly on the bow of the boat, and the splashing waves slapped on his ** feet.

He was the captain of this ship, and the leader of dozens of ships behind him, he brought the best warriors and the best sword with him, and his father asked him to go and make an alliance with the Qin people and try to be friends with them, but he planned to see if they were worthy of his respect.

Wu Rui turned his head and saw Chu Shi lying in the boat and didn't dare to stand up straight, his hand was tightly grasping the boat gang, he didn't dare to let go, his robe and big sleeves were wet, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Wu Rui smiled contemptuously, walked over and asked him, "Mr. Xu, how many people will the Qin army send?" ”

Xu Shu raised his head, wiped a handful of water from his face, and said with a smile: "It will not be inferior to Yu Ganyue." ”

"Sir, what do you think my warriors are compared to the Qin soldiers?"

Wu Rui looked at the Yue people who were tattooed with dragons and snakes, rowing on both sides with paddles in their hands, their equipment was simple, few of them wore armor, but they were all strong and strong, and they had short swords hanging from their waists.

He pointed to a man with fish-like tattoos on his face: "His name is Juyu, and he can enter the water to fight with the big ray, and cut off the tongue of the dragon and offer it to my father." ”

He pointed to another big man with a wide waist and a big body: "His name is Juqu, he can go up the mountain to defeat Ye Bi, and he will carry Da Bi back to the city alone." ”

There is also a lean man sitting at the end of the ship at the helm: "His name is Luma, and he blows arrows with one hand!" ”

"I heard that the Qin army swept through the Chu State, among the Qin soldiers, how many warriors are like this?" Wu Rui said proudly.

Xu Shu smiled: "Most of the Qin people are farmers who plough the fields, and there are not many strong men like this. ”

When the various tribes of Ganyue fought with each other, it was a group fight, and Wu Rui did not understand the military discipline of the array, so he thought that the Qin army had no warriors, and he despised it......

Unexpectedly, Xu Shu said again: "But I think that the victory of the Qin army is not the result of personal bravery, but the victory of the armor equipment and array military discipline, so that the Qin people and the Yue people fight with their bare hands, and the Qin people are not necessarily the opponents of the Yue people, but if they make them bear the armor and carry a strong crossbow, then one Qin can be the enemy of two Yue, and if the Qin people and the Yue people fight, then three hundred Qin people can be defeated by more than a thousand Yue people." ”

Wu Rui was a little unconvinced, but at this time, there was a shout from the ship in front: "Ganshui has arrived!" ”

Wu Rui turned around, but saw that the water surface was impressively open, and the remaining dry water flowed into Ganshui here.

Then down the ten rivers also converge in, and then thirty miles ahead, the repair water also converges from the west, so far, the Ganshui is really the big stream, and there is no argument between the two Zhuzhu cliffs......

This is two hundred miles away from Yugan, Wu Rui used to go down the river with people when he was a child, continue to move forward, drive into Peng Lize, to find Yi and Peng Ze to trade with the Chu people, so he has some impressions of the scenery along the way:

Two thousand years later, the area will be flooded by Poyang Lake, but now, it is a vast plain, full of dark swamps, and the land is low-lying and wet. As far as the eye can see, there is no road at all, only reeds and jungles, and herds of elk can often be seen running along the way. Some of the Yue people who live on the waterfront live in dry fence houses made of mud and thatch in the wild grass, and make a living by catching fish and clams in the rivers and lakes.

But now it is a little different, on the east bank of Peng Lize, there are more than ten ships moored, compared to the boats of the Yue people, those ships and big wings are like huge things, not to mention the building ship, even if it is quietly moored by the lake at the moment, it can already make people fully feel its height and terrifying: dozens of steps long brown streamlined hull, a large mast, fifty long oars, enough for a hundred people to stand on the deck......

The rowing Vietnamese people stopped their oars and sighed.

"It's so big......"

"Like a mountain."

Wu Rui couldn't laugh either, he secretly calculated that if he fought with him in the lake, not to mention that he would be directly knocked over and fall into the water. Even if they were a hundred paces apart, the waves would make their boat rock. And there were no shortage of soldiers armed with bows and crossbows on the huge ship, and even if they avoided it from a distance, they would be shot to death by them.

Closer, they found that a group of people were carrying large bags of grain from the boat ashore, from Pengze south, the road along the way was narrow, and it was difficult to carry grain, so they let the people of the building ship carry grain back to the mouth of the lake, enter the South Lake of Penglize, and meet the land division here on the east shore.

After discovering the Yue people's boats that went straight down the river, several ships immediately turned their heads to aim at them, and under the command of a black and thin Qin official, the Qin people on the shore also raised their bows and arrows.

The Yue people were also very vigilant, and touched the short sword at his waist, but fortunately, Xu Shu asked people to raise the Qin people banner he was carrying, and explained his intention.

"Mr. Xu is really punctual."

The black and thin Qin official stretched out his hand to help Xu Shu go ashore, and looked at Wu Rui who was on the same boat.

"This is the ruler of the Yue people?"

He looked at Wu Rui and said with a smile: "It's young." ”

Xu Shu introduced the two to each other: "This is Zhao Tuo, the five hundred lord of the Qin army. ”

"This is the son of the owner of Cognac, Wu Rui."

Zhao Tuo greeted Wu Rui, and Wu Rui also returned the gift of the Yue people, and the two people who were hostile to each other later in history met for the first time but were very ordinary and friendly.

Zhao Tuo said that he had only arrived in the morning, and that the land army led by Heifu had arrived here yesterday and had now repaired the barracks.

"The lake is damp and difficult to camp, so the camp is set up on a hill a mile away, Wu Jun, Mr. Xu, let's go over!"

Wu Rui knew that he couldn't take a thousand people to meet the Qin army Sima, so he asked his subordinates to drive the boat to the west bank of the Ganshui River to anchor, firstly, to prevent the conflict between the soldiers of the two sides, and secondly, if there was any emergency, they could also leave calmly and not be served in a pot.

He put away what he had replaced with the Qin people out of ignorance, and it was a deep distrust.

Wu Rui, with three of the most courageous subordinates, followed Zhao Tuo and Xu Shu for a few hundred steps, and when they climbed the hill, they were stunned to find that this uninhabited place, as if in the rainy season, mushrooms that grew overnight had an extra camp tent.

And an army that Wu Rui had never seen in the past twenty years was neatly lined up in front of the camp, all dressed in black, with coats of leather armor of the Qin army, ten people in a row, a line of 100 people, a full thousand Qin soldiers, compared to the chaos of the Ganyue people's gathering, it looked much more pleasing to the eye.

And the bright spears and halberds in their hands were no less than the more than 100 short swords of the Ganyue people, and Wu Rui suddenly sounded what Xu Shu said to him, "One Qin is the enemy of two Yue; Three hundred Qin people, but the enemy is more than a thousand."

At this time, a violent drum beat also struck, and along with the drum beat, a thousand Qin soldiers were neatly divided into two parts, and a road several steps wide was vacated in the center, leading directly to the gate of the Qin camp.

Although Wu Rui is Yu Gan's little chief, he has never been far away, to put it bluntly, he is actually a soil bun in the countryside, and he has participated in several tribal fights, only thinking that Yu Gan is already a very powerful city within a radius of thousands of miles, and his own warriors have no opponents.

But now seeing the regular army from the Qin State, the previous contempt suddenly disappeared, and only admiration and envy remained.

While passing through the center of the Qin pawn, he thought in his heart: "If Yu Gan also has so many armor blades, Fanyang can easily take ......"

Walking to the camp gate, the posture inside is not small, but I saw that from now on the hundred steps leading to the Qin army's big tent, there are hundreds of sturdy short soldiers and guards all stood out, they wore heavy shackles, thick armor, black battle robes, holding halberds that were more than a foot long, wearing short swords with black scabbards, lined up in two columns, standing from the gate to the big tent.

A young military officer of the same age as Wu Rui and Zhao Tuo wore a crown on his head, held a long sword in his hand, and stepped out, which was Gongao.

"On the orders of Sima of the other department, I am here to welcome Yu Gan Wu Jun."

He waved his hand and said, "Wu Jun, please!" ”

The weapons in the hands of those short-range guards are all real guys, and at this moment the sunlight has poked its head out of the stratus clouds, reflecting on it, shimmering and reflecting, shining on the road ahead, and hundreds of warriors are also brushing their faces to look at Wu Rui, their round eyes are full of deterrence!

The three warriors behind Wu Rui were a little vigilant, but Wu Rui was not afraid, holding his short sword, and stepped forward, Zhao Tuo and Gong Ao in the rear couldn't help but glance at each other, nodding secretly, feeling that this Yue Ren Xiaojun Chang was a little bold.

Walking to the front of the camp gate, the East Gate Leopard stood in front of the curtain viciously, pointing to the short sword on Wu Rui's waist and said, "When you meet Sima, how can you not unload the sword?" Give me your weapons! ”

Wu Rui didn't understand what Dongmen Leopard said, but he also guessed what he was going to do, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "The sword is like the wife of the Ganyue people, how can it be handed over to others?" If you have to take my sword, I'll take my leave!" ”

Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and the Dongmen Leopard was about to get angry, but there was a sound of stopping it in the tent.

"That's it, since the Yue people have such customs, there is no need to force him, let him in!"

Dongmen Leopard was unwilling to get out of the way, Zhao Tuo and Gong Ao entered one after another, opened the camp tent on the left and right, and made a gesture of please.

Wu Rui was a little impatient to step into it, and after seeing so many along the way, he was very curious about what kind of character Qin Jun Sima was inside?

A black-faced Qin official wearing a crane crown stood up from the seat and looked at Wu Rui quietly, his appearance was mediocre, he was not the hero Wu Rui imagined, and there seemed to be a lot of thoughts hidden in his eyes.

"The subordinates have seen Sima!"

Zhao Tuo and Gongao on the left and right fought one after another, and Wu Rui, after hesitating for a moment, also followed their example and bowed his hand slightly towards Heifu.

Wu Rui is proud, but he is not stupid, and after looking at it along the way, he has already understood that this Qin army is indeed very powerful. And according to what his father said, for the Qin State, these thousands of Qin soldiers are just a drop of water in the river, as long as the Qin State is willing, it can launch an army ten times or even a hundred times!

"Even if you can't be friends, at least you can't anger this person and make Qin and Gan Yue enemies."

So, at this moment, the historical king of Nanyue, the king of Linjiang, the king of Changsha, and the three kings all worshiped in front of Heifu......
