Good river wind, urge this light boat,

The waves are surging, adding a bit of ambition and pride,

What is the fear of the dragon and the tiger's den, the sword and halberd have been in the bush for a long time,

It's not that Xiao Lang despises the heroes, and a "Spring and Autumn" is remembered - peace and war, peace and security!

…………………………

On the wide water surface of the Yangtze River, with the strong northwest wind, a fleet is moving forward at a rapid pace - overcoming the thorns and waves, the first three-story ship, seven zhang long and three zhang wide, can carry hundreds of people, and has both offense and defense, like a water fortress!

On the third-floor command platform, Xiao Yi was wearing a black robe and a red cloak, looking at the surging river from afar, watching the schools of swimming fish up close...... The voice is strong and pleasant, like an iron horse Jingo!

The Yangtze River originates from the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, flows through the three prefectures of Yi, Jing and Yang, and dozens of counties and counties, bringing together more than 700 tributaries along the way, with a total length of more than 12,600 miles, and finally flows into the East China Sea!

On both sides of the Yangtze River - the land is fertile, the irrigation is convenient, there is the "land of abundance" in the upper reaches, and there are many "fish and rice towns" in the middle reaches, which have raised countless people and left countless stories - dragons and snakes compete for hegemony and heroes come out in large numbers, it can be said that the Chinese nation originated from the Yellow River and flourished in the Yangtze River!

Xiao Yi was born in the imperial capital in his previous life, grew up in the north, and saw countless mountains, hills, and grasslands, but he didn't have the opportunity to swim the Yangtze River.

Xiao Yi climbed to the top of the wind and watched the scenery of the river, while the people on and off the boat also stretched their necks and widened their eyes, staring at this 'No. 1 general in the world and the No. 1 killing god in the world!' ’

Cai Zhong and Cai He were also on the command platform, but they took seven or eight steps back, hunched their waists, bowed their heads, glanced at them from time to time, and quickly looked away, for fear that if they saw too much, their hearts would not be able to stand it!

Regarding the matter of appeasement, the Jingzhou Navy also held several meetings internally, guessing who would come to Dongting Lake Water Village as a special envoy, and what methods should be used to strive for the greatest benefits!

Some people speculate that it is Jiang Gan and Mi Heng who are eloquents, some people speculate that it is Wen Ping and Fu Zhu, these Jingzhou generals, and some people are very bold to guess that Cao Cao will send a clan general, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, etc., to show his sincerity in appeasement!

But they broke their guts, and they never expected that the messenger who came to appease them turned out to be 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang', when they saw Xiao Yi appear, Cai Zhong, Cai He's jaw fell directly, and they jerked their mouths seven or eight times, only to know that this was not a dream!

When the boat crossed the river, the situation was even worse, and the sailors were in a trance, making mistakes, some raising the wrong sails, some taking down the oars, and some forgetting to pull the anchor...... As for the stumbling and falling into the river, it is even more continuous!

When the great Sima of the dynasty - the county marquis of Wuchou, in charge of Huang Yue Baixuan, the right to open the government and govern affairs, and has the fiefdom of three counties, the wealth is comparable to that of the princes and kings...... Xiao Yi, the world's number one general, does have such charm!

"Gross! Vomit...... The stomach is vomited, and then the vomit is blood...... Vomit! ”

"Vomit...... This kind of boat ride is more uncomfortable than being stabbed, but it's going to die! ”

was enjoying the beautiful scenery, there was a discordant sound coming, Xiao Yi's eyes swept, and his face sank like water in an instant, it turned out to be his own soldiers, all of whom were lying on the side of the boat string and vomiting, vomiting and rolling their eyes, which was worse than the pregnant woman who was 'happy'!

The personal soldiers around Xiao Yi were repeatedly screened out from hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all of them were brave and loyal, strong in martial arts, and experienced in a hundred battles, and there were countless souls in their hands!

But when this group of land tigers got on the boat, they suddenly turned into soft-footed shrimps, and they couldn't hold their blades, and even the brave and fearless Dian Wei sat on the deck, holding the mast and not daring to let go!

Xiao Yi is gifted and invincible, and after crossing over, he lived in seclusion on Crouching Tiger Mountain and practiced martial arts in the Dragon River, not daring to say that he was proficient in water, and he could swim a few back and forth, so he was not afraid of taking a boat!

The problem is that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Cao Ying, all of whom are children of the north, and landlubbers account for the vast majority, and occasionally some are water-based, that is, they drive a small boat and row a few times in the river ditch, and when they reach the rough river, they are not bright!

Since the southern expedition of the army, it has attacked Nanyang, taken Wancheng, attacked Xiangyang, and fought Changsaka...... Although crossing a lot of rivers and still focusing on land warfare, the officers and men of the Cao army were down-to-earth, and there was no problem with dancing knives and guns, but the battle behind was not so smooth!

The crusade against Changsha County is just a small test, and the subsequent attack on Jiangxia County, and even the six counties in Jiangdong will face a large-scale water battle.

The northerners went south, did not adapt to the water and soil, abandoned the saddle horse, drove the boat, and used their own shortcomings to meet the enemy's strengths...... These are all taboos for soldiers, and they all put people to death!

Because of this, Xiao Yi is bound to win this appeasement, only by absorbing 80,000 sailors in Jingzhou and getting thousands of warships can he make up for his shortcomings and compete with Kong Ming and Zhou Yu!

While thinking about it, the fleet crossed the Yangtze River, from the Taipingkou Waterway to the south, into the Dongting Lake, and the scenery in front of them also changed...... I saw the distant mountains and swallowing the Yangtze River, the mighty and mighty, the endless horizon, the beautiful scenery is in full view, which makes people feel refreshed and happy!

Dongting Lake stretches for seven or eight hundred miles, the average depth is twelve or three zhang, the water surface in the east is wide, the middle is slightly narrowed, and the northwest is the waterway vertical and horizontal, the shape is like a jumping green carp, is drinking the water of the Yangtze River!

The fleet sailed with the wind and came to the depths of Dongting Lake, and in the steaming mist, the Red Mountain, the Green Mountain, the Jun Mountain, and the Minglang Mountain were revealed...... Countless islands, the big ones are dozens of miles in radius, and the small ones are only seven or eight feet, like pearls, scattered in the blue water!

On many islands in the lake, there are Jingzhou naval troops stationed, forming an echoing trend, and the base camp is on Qingshan Island, which is originally a mountain peak, with a circumference of more than 20 miles, more than 200 zhang above the water surface, and can overlook the waters of Dongting Lake!

"Put on the Xiaozi battle flag and beat the drum to cheer on the momentum!"

"No!"

……………………

The fleet slowly approached the island, and Xiao Yi suddenly gave an order to replace the battle flag on the mast, and the flag represented the face of the commander, which was to let the Jingzhou Navy know that the number one in the world was coming!

Cai Zhong and Cai He stood behind him, not knowing what to do, Xiao Yi's official position, title, and prestige were far above everyone, and it stands to reason that it is natural to hang his banner!

However, the Jingzhou Navy has not yet returned to obedience and maintains a certain degree of independence, so it is probably a little inappropriate to change the flag at this time, but if you resist the order, you are afraid of offending Xiao Yi, this is the Lord who will take revenge!

Just when Cai Zhong and Cai He were in a dilemma, they were surprised to see that the sailors under their command moved when they heard the wind, neatly ripped off the battle flag with the word 'Cai', and raised two new battle flags on the main pole and the secondary pole......

On one side is the ink-colored battle flag with wavy patterns and flame horns, a red 'Xiao' character in the middle, and an apricot yellow battle flag on the other side, with eight big characters on it - drinking the Yangtze River and appeasing Jingxiang!

The two big flags fluttered in the wind, up and down, not only to tell the Jingzhou Navy that the ghost-faced Xiao Lang was on the boat, but also to explain the purpose of the trip!

It turned out that Xiao Yi crossed the river by boat, although he didn't say a word, but the charm of raising his hands and feet made the boat up and down deeply impressed, and he couldn't help but carry out the orders he issued, this is the bearing of the superior...... With a wave of the hand, tens of millions of people followed one after another!

"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”

"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”

At the same time, the camp gate of Shuizhai was wide open, and dozens of warships came out, with colorful flags fluttering and drums and trumpets sounding in unison to show a warm welcome, and then escorted Xiao Yi to take the boat left and right and entered Qingshan Island!

I have to admit that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have poor character, but they have some skills in governing the army, and the island is divided into two big villages: water and land:

Luzhai is built along the island, it is distributed in a stepped form, the walls are strict, the trenches are vertical and horizontal, the tunnels are hidden, extending in all directions, there are a large number of warehouses on both sides, and the stored grain and grass, ordnance can be used for a year!

The water village is close to the edge of the island, the big boats are lined up outside, neatly like a city, and the small boats shuttle inside, as if they are communicating with each other, both offensive and defensive, advancing and retreating freely, even if it is a layman like Xiao Yi, he can't help but nod and praise!

"Wan Sheng! --Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

In the two big villages of water and land, countless soldiers poured out, wearing heavy armor, holding blades, waving various flags, and making a tsunami-like shout, wave after wave!

This was obviously arranged by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, just to prove that although Liu Biao died, Liu Cong surrendered, and Liu Bei escaped...... But the Jingzhou Navy is still there, and the 80,000 soldiers are not overwhelming!

It can not only use this as capital in exchange for a piece of glory and wealth, but also deter people's hearts, so that the subsequent negotiations will become more beneficial to themselves...... Typical psychological tactics!

Xiao Yi has been dominating the world for many years, how can he be afraid of a small scene, I saw him take a few steps forward and stand at the highest point of the ship, holding the sword horizontally in one hand and waving it lightly with the other, as if he was reviewing his own soldiers and horses!

"Brush! Brush...... Poof! Poof! ”

The ghost-faced Xiao Lang's name, no one in the world knows, Jingzhou soldiers are surging forward, head to head, like witnessing the demeanor of the world's number one general, so that they forget the shout, only the sound of gasping is left!

Especially the ghostly gaze swept by, everyone bowed their heads to avoid, everywhere was silent, no one dared to look at them, and even involuntarily retreated, there were many people who fell into the water!

Walking alone, the army is silent, and the world's style is only Xiao Lang!
