There were more and more Chu people who found Li Jie's huge boat group, and the boat group arrived in the east of Yunmengze, that is, when Xia Shui entered the river mouth, the Chu State Boat Division was old, weak, sick and disabled, and only then did it find that a strong enemy was coming.

At this time, the state of Chu was in Xiapu, that is, the guard general of the mouth of the Xia Shui River, and there were three generals.

The person who will Xia Pu is the son of the E family surnamed Yao, who once beat the king of Chu "Jian Ma Yin", and the Yun family is the deputy of the Xia Pu guard.

Strictly speaking, Xia Shui does not directly enter the Yangtze River, but passes through Yunmengze and then flows into the Han River, which is a typical branch of the Han River.

But it is more special, because its .asxs. is the Yangtze River in the west.

That is to say, the entire summer water is the Yangtze River water that first enters Yunmengze, and then enters the Han River from Yunmengze, and the Han River then flows into the Yangtze River.

So once you enter Xiapu, it is easy to arrive at Yingdu, but in the past hundred years, most of them have started from Yingdu, and then go down the summer water, chop the waves, see the demeanor of the goddess of Yunmeng, and then enter the Yangtze River.

The fact that the Chu State was able to play the Death State, annex the Hubei State, and torture the Luo State upside down was also because the materials of the Yingdu were easy to mobilize on the land of Jianghan.

In the Battle of Pusao that year, a wave of the main force of Yun was killed, and the transportation of the right army and materials was extremely convenient, which was also one of the factors for victory.

In the past hundred years, there has not been a regular army that can threaten Yingdu against the current.

Xiapu's Chu State Boat Division was originally a huge number, but in order to deal with Li Jie's attack on Chu, the ships that could be transferred to Hanshui had already gone to the middle and upper reaches.

The boats that stayed in the same place as Xiapu, in the face of Li Jie's huge ship group, did not pose any threat at all, the big ship approached, and there was no need to use any bows and crossbows, and they directly overturned and overturned.

"Summons the order to persuade Xia Pu to surrender to the general Ocang."

"Yes!"

The person who persuaded Xia Pu to defend the general Ecang was not a Wu person, but a young disciple of the Yun Zhen clan.

At this moment, escorted by two crocodiles, the children of the Yun Zhen clan, with a handwritten letter from Yun Zhenlu, the former "state doctor" of the Chu State, went to Xiapu Water Village to persuade Ecang to surrender.

Yun Zhenlu's handwritten letters, the content is not much, the flowers and birds are gathered together in one sentence: Canglang Jun, willing to drink Huaizhong wine with you.

Others are not very clear about the roots of Ecang, but Yun Zhenlu is clear, although the fall of the E-State was relatively early, but the surname of E-surnamed E-family did not die the whole family, on the contrary, when Ecang was a child, he was still the son of a prince in the aristocratic circle of the Chu State.

And the origin of his name is precisely because of Xia Shui, he was born above Xia Shui.

At that time, the state of Chu was moving the descendants of the Marquis of Ehou from Xiapu to Xiashou, and Xiashou was the location of the current Zhu Palace.

Another name for Xia Shui, also known as Canglang Shui, is named after Ecang, which is named after the place, and also represents his mother's suffering.

Although Ecang still worked hard for the Chu State, it is not in line with the values of this era to say that there is no mustard in his heart and he is willing to be happy.

The mother who suffered, she gave birth to him on the water of the waves, and suffered greatly, if he didn't know, then it was enough, if he knew, he would not die and take revenge, this is not a gentleman's virtue.

Therefore, Yun Zhenlu only used one sentence, and it can even be said that he only used three words, so that Xia Pu Shou General Ecang rebelled against the Chu State.

The three words "Canglang Jun" are too sarcastic and spicy, and Ecang is already ashamed just by seeing these three words.

The guard surrendered, and the deputy did not say that he would be loyal to the country, and the deputy was a child of the Yun family, who was originally a traitor.

Li Xie made several preparations for this thousand-mile raid, and it was naturally best to be able to directly control Xia Pu without spending a single soldier.

If not, Xia Pu's Zuo Yunjin will be the guard overnight.

Yun Jin had already passed the Yun clan last year, and then went online with the Yun Zhen clan.

The entire Yun clan is a shadow, not to mention a mere Yunjin.

Yun Zhenlu's people came to persuade him to surrender, but it didn't take much effort at all, so that the entire Xia Pu changed hands.

The reason why Ecang can make such a quick decision is in addition to Yun Zhenlu's reminder; Li Jiechuan's group is huge, and Ecang is very clear, at this moment, the demon woman of the Empress Dowager Zhao is in Zhu Palace, and even the King of Chu is there!

As long as there is a wave of raids, Zhu Palace will fall easily, and when the time comes, what harm will his family in Yingdu be afraid of?

Not going to be a hostage at all.

"Ezi's move is a benevolent and righteous act, which saved Xia Pu from the disaster of swords, Li deeply admires!"

"Ashamed, ashamed......"

The old face is red, and the beard is white, where does he dare to take it seriously.

I think that at the beginning, he secretly laughed at Yun Zhenlu for being an old waste, and he was beaten by a savage and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Looking at it now, I'm afraid that Lao Yun not only understands current affairs, but also has a unique vision.

Now Yun Zhenlu's status in Huaishui Bofu, except for a very few Li Xie henchmen, can definitely be regarded as a big man.

Ezi rest assured, Li has no sarcasm. In Li's view, Ezi's move is worthy of the word 'benevolence and righteousness'. If Ezi blocks Xia Pu, it can be known that once Li is slaughtered, the waves will be bloody. ”

When Li explained these words, his tone was calm and his eyes were indifferent, which made Ecang feel even more terrifying.

In the hinterland of the Chu State, the legend of this big monster eating people has been passed down for two whole generations.

is Yun Zhenlu's son and grandson, and he also grew up listening to "Gou Chen cannibalism".

Now, the new generation, in addition to facing the Gou Chen big monster eating people, has to add an additional Li Jie.

"Decay...... Ashamed! ”

After listening to Li Jie's words, the old Ecang was even more frightened, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and hugged his fists and made a big salute.

"Ezi, please get up."

Li Xie picked up Ecang with one hand, it was okay not to touch, but after contact, Ecang felt how terrifying the strength of this Wu macho man was.

That huge force came, making his entire old body seem to float.

The panicked Ecang stood aside honestly, Li Xie smiled, and said to Ocang: "Why don't you wait and see how our army attacks Zhu Palace and breaks Yingdu?" ”

"The old man is willing to fight with Huai Shuibo!"

"Good!"

Li Xie laughed and waved his big hand, "Herald!" Go to the intersection of summer and Han to change boats! ”

"Yes!"

The heralds were immediately busy, and the huge regiment of ships advanced again, and at this time the sails were no longer of much use, and they went up against the Han River, and when necessary, they needed to support the boatmen.

After a period of extremely turbulent continuous river bays, you can see the flow of waves into Hankou.

Tracing up from here, the river is not narrow, but the water depth is limited, because this is the hinterland of Yunmengze, pointing in any direction, there are dozens of hundreds of lakes, and large and small swamps are even more connected.

In addition, metasequoia forests, camphor forests, and banyan forests are interspersed between different wetlands.

An extremely large number of birds and beasts live here.

In this era, the large river region had a very large area of alluvial plains, an exceptionally large amount of high-quality land, and a relatively suitable climate, so that the nations were able to use less land to feed a relatively large population.

The state of Chu is no exception, and the Jianghan Plain is a famous granary of this era.

Relying only on such a granary, the state of Chu completed the annexation and expansion of the Jianghan Valley.

The peripheral areas of Yunmengze, and some scattered wetlands, have also been transformed by the Chu State in the grain-producing areas, especially at the southern end of Yunmengze, close to the state of Zhou, where the total population of the Chu State is also more than 100,000.

It can be said that as long as the core area of the state is annexed again, it is only a matter of time before the Chu State immigrates to the south of the Yangtze River and develops more high-quality land.

However, President Li can't look down on the development efficiency of Chu State at all, and he can get it in 20 years at most after more than 100 years of tossing in Chu State.

If there is enough in the world, ten years will be able to level the territory of the peak of the Chu State.

So now President Li is not interested in Yun Mengze at all, of course, if a Yunmeng goddess jumps out and wants to play two tricks with him, then he has no opinion, if he doesn't take Zhu Palace and conquer Yingdu today, it's no problem.

"Ready to change ships!"

"Yes!"

In Xiapu to divide the troops in advance, Shaxi led the troops to the south, after Shaxian Yi, the water potential of the Yangtze River is very good, at this time along the coast, relying on the pole, you can easily go against the current.

There is a river bay here, and the sandbar on the south bank is like a flexible tongue, licking the Yangtze River slowly and gracefully.

When President Li was still the foreman, he once went up, and there was an artificial irrigation canal called the harvest canal, and the southwest of the sandbar was along the river, which was called "Tuanzhou".

At that time, Foreman Li took the workers and apprentices, and rented a boat and rented a car, relying on the relationship between the rivers and lakes for many years, and sold the river sand to major construction sites.

As a result, I never expected that Party A, which seemed to be a regular party, was even detained with people and ships because of illegal sand mining. So much so that Foreman Li was fined and confiscated his illegal gains, and was sentenced to three months of detention.

During this period, Foreman Li was angry, and three months later, he found the big boss of Party A to ask for an explanation, but the big boss threw him a copy of "Lisao", didn't say anything, didn't give anything.

If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, Foreman Li would have really beaten her and beat her to death!

After two or three years, Foreman Li listened to the advice of his friend at the beginning, and the big boss lady meant that she had left the big boss and was complaining now......

At this moment, in retrospect, King Wu ordered the fierce man Jiangyin Zihuai Shuibo Li Xie to still feel a lot of emotion, and the past is really vivid.

Back then, too young, too naïve!

Somehow, standing at the bow of the boat, Li Xie Fu went to his heart, and opened his mouth to read: "Back to Xia Pu and thinking west, mourning the old capital is far away." Day...... It's far away! ”

Suddenly, Li Jiehu's body was shocked, and he suddenly patted his head: "Haha, this 'Xia Pu', can't it be this Xia Pu, right?" ”

Although he speaks the Wu dialect, most of the marginal characters in Chu can understand it.

Especially people like Ecang, there is no fat shortage on weekdays, and there are really no important tasks in Xiapu except for the long hair on their bodies.

Studying the customs and customs of the Wu people has naturally become a hobby for idleness.

In case the Chu State wants to kill the Wu State one day, won't they use this extra skill?

At this moment, Ecang heard the "snack" that Li Xie Nian said, his body trembled, and his old tears were all over the place.

He has to be white, if he wants to avenge his mother or something, this is not his intention, this is the spirit of the times.

For the Chu State, after all, there are still feelings.

And he is the general of Xiapu, and he has the responsibility of defending the land, but now he wants to "turn his back on Xiapu and go west", this is not to be loyal to the country, but to destroy the country.

Thinking about it, sorrow came from it, and Ecang, who was ashamed and embarrassed, suddenly wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Because he really didn't want to see the banner of Huai Shuibo change at the head of the city after arriving in Yingdu, at that time, he really wanted to "mourn the distant days of the old capital".

Although I don't know why Li Xie read such a sentence, E Cang feels that this is talking about himself.

His heart is so painful, so uncomfortable.

finally couldn't control his feelings, Ecang held the bow of the boat and cried, and then as soon as his feet were raised, he was about to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

It's just that the person jumped, but he didn't fall into the water.

The whole person was hanging in the air, and Ecang twisted his body, and then he reacted, he was being carried.

"Ezi, what's the matter?" When Li Xie saw him like this, he immediately understood that this old guy was probably ashamed, and after hearing what he said just now, he wanted to commit suicide.

The old Ecang blushed and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Li Xie laughed: "Ezi, what Fang Cai said, it is Li Mou thinking about Gusu!" ”

"Huh?!"

"Could it be that Ezi still has a hometown?"

Bringing Ecang back again, Li Xie smiled, and said in his heart This kind of little old man is quite interesting, he knows shame and is better than many people.

Originally, he didn't want to use his Li Jie, but suddenly thought that after the time comes, after the Chu State is defeated, this Xia Pu can be completely governed by Ocang.

When the time comes, change the name that President Li is familiar with, so why not call it Wuhan?

When E Cang heard what Li Xie said, he was even more stunned, his beard trembled slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Huai Shui Bo misses Gusu?" ”

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Li Xie patted E Cang's shoulder, and then pretended to explain, "Don't you know that if Li hadn't been promoted by the first king, how would he have today's achievements?" Today, Li Mou lifted a three-foot sword to attack Chu, in front of the spirit of the first king, and then dedicated the past achievements of the first king. ”

The old monster casually hugged him twice back then, and he blew up the Chu State, which is the memory of two generations.

Just hearing Li Xie say this, Ecang couldn't help but be startled.

"Now that Xia Pu is in the east and I am in the west, Gusu is in Yuanying and near, isn't it natural to have this feeling?"

"This ......"

As soon as Li Xie said this, Ecang felt that it was really like that.

"Thinking about the west with the back of Xiapu, the day of mourning the old capital is far away...... Huai Shui Bozhen is also temperamental, and he is ashamed. ”

"Well said." Li Xie smiled, looked at the gentle waves in front of him, and then said, "In this battle, if you succeed by luck, Li will let the Chu State cede the land east of the Han River." When the time comes, he is willing to build a city in Xiapu and set up a county, and Li is willing to take the position of the county order to wait for Ezi. ”

"Huh?!"

E Cang was taken aback, he didn't think about it so much, but after listening to Li Jie's promise, E Cang's old heart actually jumped.

He is different from Yun Zhenlu, Lao Yun Zhen has worked both sides of the Huaishui River, he really has no chance, even if he wants to work hard in his hometown of Hubei, there are so many tigers, leopards, jackals, dragons, and poisonous insects in that ghost place that they want to die, and if they want to work hard, they must have national support.

That country is crazy, the good Jiangbei region is not operating, and running to develop such a ghost place in the south?

Without the inclination of resources, even if Ecang had ambitions when he was young, he could only stare dryly, how could he become a local real power faction like Yun Zhenlu.

But now that Li Xie said this, he felt that it was not impossible for the surname E to regain his strength.

Under Li Jie's rule, it is very difficult to be a local snake now, but Li Xie will die sooner or later, after a few generations, he will operate seriously and do things in a low-key manner, so he is not a head snake, but also a head snake.

Thinking of this, although Ecang is old, his ambition is still there.

So he did not hesitate to bow again, this time, not because he was afraid of Li Jie's strength, but because he really thanked Li Jie.

"The old man is willing to die for Huai Shuibo!"

"Hahahaha...... Good! With the help of sages, I will be in Nagisa Palace! ”

This kind of little old man, if he puts it elsewhere in Chu Country, he may not be able to package it, he is a fart.

But in Xiapu in Chunan, it's different, it belongs to the inspirational model of the elderly.

With such a model, the southeast region of Yunmengze is actually much easier, and with an extra layer of buffer, it avoids a direct conflict between the remnants of the Chu State and him.

But this is not something that Li Xie has to think about now, what he has to do now is to hurry up and take the Zhu Palace directly!

The scattered boats came back one after another, and the boats, who were already very tired, are now gritting their teeth and persevering.

The raid is half a day, and it is even possible to launch an attack in the evening.

The two ends of Xia Shui, one end is Xia Pu, the other is Xia Shou, and the white and lush Yun Mengze is sandwiched between them.

"Shou Li! Scold...... Heh......"

"Drink some water first, speak slowly."

"Yes...... Be! ”

After the latest batch of boats came back, the messenger in leather armor immediately said: "There are no Chu soldiers along the way, and there are no boat divisions and mausoleum divisions in the brigade. Except for a few scattered wild settlements, there is nothing else. ”

"Good! This is consistent with the situation explained by Xia Pu's pawn, so to speak, the entire wave is unimpeded. According to this calculation, we will arrive at Nagisa Palace in the evening. However, just in case, I need you to break it into pieces, pretend to be Yunmengze Turen, at least one squadron, and go around to the north of Xia Shui Zhu Palace, in case the pair of orphans and widows in Chu State flee when they hear the news. ”

"Yes!"

As soon as he gritted his teeth, Zhou Chuan immediately saluted, cheered up again, and began to shuttle between different boats.

The conversation they had just now was in another dialect of "Baisha", not to mention the people of Chu, even the people of Wu themselves may not be able to understand it.

Ecang only knew that Kuaizhou, who came back from outside, suddenly took people out again, and he didn't know anything about what those messengers said to Li Jie, and he didn't understand it at all.

However, one thing is very clear in Ocang, Li Xie must succeed in the first battle now, and it is impossible to let the Empress Dowager Zhao and the young King Chu escape from the palm of his hand.

This time the momentum of the attack on Chu, he also heard in Xiapu that there was a huge Huaishui army heading towards Sanguan.

Even some people in Yingdu came out to publicize, saying that they wanted to "bury the bones of Hengshan", and the Hengshan in the population of Chu was Dabie Mountain, that is to say, people of insight in Chu State, especially those patriotic people of insight, planned to fight Li Xie in Dabie Mountain.

But who would have thought that Li Xie would actually bring another powerful force and come against the current, not to harass the rear, but to do a big job and directly let the Chu State perish!

"Shou Li! The walls of Nagisa Palace are thick, and when the time comes, ......"

"This is not in a hurry first, the attack is not successful, and then the intimidation is sent. The pair of orphans and widows suffered a drastic change, how could they be as stable as Mount Tai, messed up, and collapsed first if they didn't do well. ”

After that, Li Xie said to Sha Dong again, "It's really not good, what is so difficult for Lao Tzu to use the power of the dragon god to open the city gate?" ”

"Yes."

Sha Dong thought about it, no matter how thick the Zhu Palace was, they didn't want to dig the city wall and open the city gate, how could the panicked Chu army be the opponent of the crocodile.

There may be a desperate Chu army to fight to the death, but the empress dowager of Chu and the young king of Chu who are fighting to the death, Shadong does not think that there will be.

As the boss said, a strong enemy descended from the sky, and the army pressed the border, or did the notorious Li Xie come in person, and the Empress Dowager Zhao of Chu State did not mess up? Is it possible?

Thinking of this, Sha Dong bowed even more respectfully: "I wish Shou Li what he wants." ”

"Talking!"

Li Xie licked his lips and smiled very obscenely, "Empress Dowager of Chu...... Gee. ”
