Chapter 15: King Yue

After the Battle of Zhifu, all the fishermen of the Qi State moved to the Langya Port of the Chu State to prevent the Qi State from asking for guilt. After they left, new fishermen filled the empty wharf of Zhifu Harbor. The arrival of the Qin people made Zhifu Port back to the prosperity of three years ago, they have many boats, there are more than 700 war boats alone, in addition to hundreds of transport boats, even if all the fishing boats in the port are berthed in the Danshui (now Jiashui) in the west of Zhifu, there are still some boats that have to be berthed outside the port.

For Zhao Ying, the general of the boat division, it is not a matter of mooring the boat, but of recruiting 60,000 hands. Fortunately, after the news broke, there were many recruiters. The boat division summoned nearly 10,000 people on the first day, less on the second day, there were more than 5,000 people, only a few hundred on the third day, more on the fourth day, but not much, only more than 2,000 people, and the number of people increased on the fifth day.

The head hunter was originally going to sneak into the harbor at night, rowing twenty miles away from the coast, and was startled when he saw the crowds of people inside and outside the harbor. Unwilling to give up, he swam to the shore with the dead soldiers, only to learn that this was the Qin army recruiting. These Qi people enlisted, and there was no talisman, as long as they entered the camp and said that they were not afraid of wind and waves and were quite good at miraculous skills, they could become hands.

The Yue-style waist knife was pinned to the waists of Su Wuzhu and the rest of the dead soldiers, and there were piles of human heads in any corner. Chop off people's heads and take them away, come at night, and leave before dawn, at least a dozen or dozens of levels.

This is what the rest of the people thought, they were about to draw their knives, but Su Wuzhu pointed to the brightest place in Zhifu Harbor, and said in Vietnamese: "Instead of killing these soldiers, it is better to kill Zhao Ying." Kill Zhao Ying, you will be the king. ”

No matter how many soldiers you kill, it is better to kill a general, this is a very simple truth. In Yuedi, as with the collection of paintings and calligraphy, only the skulls of celebrities will be hung out to show off to show off the bravery of their masters. The skulls of ordinary people are usually left in the corner and left to be eaten by rats and ants. As soon as Su Wuzhu said this, several dead soldiers couldn't help but get excited, but after being excited, they became distressed, looking at the brightly lit harbor from outside the port, there were armor soldiers with fires in their hands everywhere, and they entered the port with the Qi people who were recruited, and they would definitely not succeed.

"Island." He uttered a word, and then strode back, submerging into the sea of darkness when he came.

Zhifu Port is a land island, like a mushroom growing on the ground, and the port is on the west side of the mushroom umbrella. The seaport with a width of about 14 or 5 miles is sandwiched between the top fungus umbrella in the middle of the sea, the erected fungus that connects to the land, and the mainland coast. Entering the harbor along the coast is heavily guarded, but if you land from the sea and cross the fungus umbrella in the middle of the sea, you will be unaware.

The fungus umbrella is very long, more than twenty miles, but not thick, and the thickest part of the center by the stipe is only five miles. Su Wuzhu was sure to sneak into Zhao Ying's curtain before dawn, quietly cut off his head, and then returned to the fungus umbrella and jumped into the sea. He believed that he would return to Langya with Zhao Ying's head and become the new king of Yue.

One hundred and seven years ago, Wujiang was killed in battle, and the Yue people no longer had their own king; One hundred and seven years later, if you become the king of Yue, what could be more glorious than this? He doesn't care whether the land of Zhuyue is his own land, nor does he care whether the people of Zhuyue are his own people, what he cares about is the great glory that is enough to make the whole world look at it.

"When the Mi Liang people went to sea, the king was very anxious and asked me when I would be able to pull out Zhu Fang." Zhao Ying, the general of the boat division, didn't know that someone was worried about his head, and the command of the boat division was attributed to the National Governor's Mansion, which did not make him relaxed, but made him nervous. Attributed to the Governor's Mansion, isn't this attributed to the king? It's okay if the king doesn't ask, but when the king asks, the matter is big.

"The hands will be full in three days, but although they are not afraid of the wind and waves, they do not know whether they can row on the sea." Yang Duanhe expressed his worries, he originally had to train his hands after recruiting them, but when he heard that Mi Liangren was going to sea, the king became extremely anxious, and he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to train his hands under the repeated urging. There are one hundred and seventy people in one boat, and Yang Duanhe is worried that Qi people will not be able to row well.

"This is more than 2,500 miles away from Zhu Fang, and there is no ten days that cannot be reached." Wu Shen said. "And after the dynasty (into the mountain), there is Langya, the Yue people, the Chu people and the boat division gather in Langya, and it is necessary to fight to pull out Langya. Langya in hand, after landing to hit Mu Ling, from the sea to the mouth of the Yangtze River. Although the extreme west boat division is good, there is a drawback. ”

"What's the harm?" Zhao Ying's expression changed, and the rest of the people also looked at Wu Shen.

"There is very little grain to bear." Wu Shen had not been in contact with many oared war boats, he was only familiar with single oared war boats. In the past few days, he boarded the war boat and went to sea with Zhao Ying, only to find some problems. This is also determined by the short-distance operations in the eastern Mediterranean, where there are many city-states, and there is no need for the Greek city-states to build too large warships, so naturally they can't hold much grain and water. "There are only three days' food and three days' water left on the boat, Langya is still 1,400 miles away from Zhu Fang, and it is impossible to arrive in five days, and then we must fight, otherwise the food will run out."

"What's so hard about that?" Yang Duanhe disagreed. "The same is true of the Jing people's large wing war boats, so the Jing people have a transport boat to transport grain and straw. Our army can do the same, and use the ship of transport to transport grain, straw, and water......"

"If I am the general of the Chu army's boat division, I will attack the Qin army's transport boat first." Wu Shen dismissed Yang Duanhe with a smile.

"This ......" naval battles are different from river battles, and naval battles must carry clear water. In case the enemy army has been in pursuit, there is no clear water on the shore to drink, and the soldiers can only fight with thirst.

"So what?" Zhao Ying asked. "The ship of naval battle is different from the boat of water battle, but even if you sue Shaofu at this time, it is not enough."

"I thought ......" Wu Shen was once the Grand Sima of the Chu State, and he was not only familiar with Yuedi, but also with the Chu State. He stood up, pointed to the map hanging on the side, and said, "Before the general pulls out Zhu Fang, he should take this place by surprise." ”

"Huaiyin?" Zhao Ying looked at the place where Wu Shen pointed.

"Yes, yes." Wu Shen continued: "Huaiyin is the intersection of Surabaya, Huaishui and Hangou, pull out this place, the general can go to Xiapi in the north, Shouying in the west, and invade Guangling and Zhufang in the south. The Chu people could not take refuge from the Huaishui, nor could they relocate from the Yangtze River. ”

"But ......" is of course good to pull out Huaiyin, but is Huaiyin really so easy to pull? Tian Pu and Yang Duanhe were about to speak, but Zhao Ying coughed and interrupted both of them. He said: "The Jing people have set up a stronghold of witchcraft in Huaikou to defend it, how can the war boat enter the Huaishui?" Both into the Huaishui, Huaiyin is not a small city, but a big city. Jing people's sea boat can be traced back to the Huaishui in winter, and the Yingdu ......"

The sea boat traces the water from the Yangtze River to Jiuzi, and then from the Yinglu Canal to Shouying, the first section can be dragged by the wind, and the latter section can only be towed by the war boat. If the sea boat enters from Huaishui, it can directly reach Shouying. Because of this, although Huaiyin is not a port, it is similar to a port. There are many boat masters, but there are few armorers, and it is almost impossible to pull out the Huaiyin.

"Does the general know that Huaishui enters the sea not in one mouth?" Since Wu Shen has such a suggestion, he is sure of victory.

"Huh?" Zhao Ying shouted, stared at Wu Shen in excitement, pointed at him, and said, "Sure enough?!" ”

"Yes, yes." Yang Duanhe and Tian Pu were also excited, and the only tiredness was swept away. "There are several mouths of Huaishui into the sea, but the waterway is very narrow, and the people who are not aware of it. The Chu people only built a fortress in the big mouth, but not in the small mouth. Our army can enter at a small mouth and avoid its stronghold, until it is under the city of Huaiyin. But then ......"

"So what?" Zhao Ying asked urgently. He now wants to lead the war boat from a small mouth to Huaiyin.

"There are very few boatmen in the boat." Wu Shen said. "In the land of Eastern Chu, the people are light, our army has more than 700 war boats, and there are only 20,000 soldiers, which is a few."

"The Jingren armor soldiers are all in Daliang and Muling, if our army can be taken by surprise, go straight to Huaiyin City at dawn, and enter the door, why worry about Huaiyin?" Zhao Ying was a little unimpressed. In fact, only their own people know that there are not many boat divisions, and outsiders mistakenly think that the Qin army boat division is like the Chu army boat division, and the hands are also armor soldiers. Zhao Ying even believed that as long as his hand was on the next stop in Huaiyin City, the old and weak Chu pawns guarding the city and the common people of Huaiyin would tremble.

"The general is mistaken, Huaiyin is the land of Huaiyi in the past......" Wu Shen is a Wu person, he knows Huaiyi's habits very well, he was about to tell Zhao Ying that Huaiyi must not be despised when there was a sudden shout from under the steps outside the hall: "Who is it?!" ”

The generals stayed up all night and were deliberating about the attack. The shouting at the bottom of the stairs was surprising, and when Zhao Ying was about to ask a question when he heard the voice, the shouting just now turned into a scream, and the short soldier shouted sadly: "Assassin ......"

"There are assassins?!" Everyone was shocked, everyone knows about the assassination king, but who would send assassins to assassinate the enemy shogunate? Zhao Ying hurriedly grabbed the sword on Lan Qi. While several Assassins rushed up the stairs to kill the soldiers outside the hall, one of them jumped straight from the stairs. He landed steadily on the floor of Mingtang with a loud 'bang'. The assassin who landed on the ground glanced at the four people in the hall and uttered strange words: "Zhao Ying? ”

The Assassin was not tall, with a hairstriped face and no feet. Others didn't recognize this dress, how could Wu Shen not recognize it, when the assassin spoke, he couldn't help but shout in fright: "Yue Ren!" ”

At this time, everyone was not sitting in the seat, Zhao Ying was holding a sword, Wu Shen had no sword, Yang Duan and Hetian Pu also had no sword, but one of the two of them held the case, and the other held Lan Qi. As soon as Wu Shen, who was in the back, spoke, he immediately made the man who came in think that he was Zhao Ying.

"Kill!" Su Wuzhu had already rushed forward, he kicked away Yang Duanhe and smashed the wooden case, and lowered his body to avoid Tian Pu who was holding Lan Qi high, the sword eye stabbed by Zhao Ying was unavoidable, he just twisted his waist, turned over half of his heel and flashed dangerously.

How could Wu Shen not know the ability of the Yue people to die? These beast-like people who haunt the mountains and rivers must not let them get close. Su Wuzhu hadn't rushed forward yet, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately pulled out his feet and ran to the large room behind, but unfortunately he still hadn't run past Su Wuzhu's waist knife, and when the other Yue people who had killed the short soldiers rushed into the lobby, Su Wuzhu swept behind him like a gust of wind and gently cut off his head.

"I am a king, I am a king! Hahahaha...... "Wu Shen's head was dripping with blood, and he laughed and almost wanted to sing.

"Stupid!" There was a scolding sound from Zhu An on the beam of the room, and before the words fell, he jumped down with several dead soldiers and rushed to Zhao Ying, who was about to flee outside the hall.
