"This is not Yingzhou!"

Sun Ce's words were chiseled, and Zhang Gong's hand was full of strings. Zhou Yu, who was back to back with him, was holding the eight-sided Han sword, staring at the left and right, and slowly bowed his head and said: "It's definitely not Yingzhou!" ”

In late May, Sun's fleet was intercepted by Tian Yu in the East China Sea, and in early June, Sun Ce led the fleet to flee to Xiedao, and then sent the fleet to search southeast, while the rest of the men and horses prepared food and replenished arrows on the island. No one dared to imagine what awaited them, there was no artisan, no iron ore, their new arrows had no feathers, even the arrows had to be replaced with stones, and perhaps it would not be long before their army would become a bunch of savages who could sail ships.

In July, the fleet returning from the northeast brought back the news of the discovery of the big island, and Sun Ce's troops were excited, so they sailed to sea. For half a month, they landed on a large island that looked like a dragon in the sea from a distance, and they also found traces of human activities, but the army searched along the coast for nearly 100 miles and found no human population.

There was no one to live, and Sun Ce's soldiers also had to eat, so they fished and hunted, not only the soldiers, but even Sun Ce himself joined in this pleasant activity, carrying a bow and taking Zhou Yu and a group of personal soldiers into the dense forest to hunt.

Then there was the scene at the beginning, Sun Ce holding a bow, Zhou Yu holding a sword, and more than a dozen personal soldiers around him holding spears and crossbows...... They were surrounded.

There were many people in the forest, there was a sound of a bow, Sun's water pawn shouted a few times but no one answered, and then the arrow rain rushed to the face, a clanging sound, dozens of arrows rained down, Sun Ce came from behind a miserable scream, and a Sun soldier's hand was shot. Sun Ce turned his head, and his subordinates had a wooden arrow in their hands, and pulled out the kind without arrow clusters.

What is this?

Sun Ce still thought that he didn't know when he would use this kind of arrow, and then he saw the enemy use this kind of arrow, savage?

What else is there to say, wooden arrows can't even shoot through leather armor. Sun Ce immediately gave an order, more than a dozen subordinates drew bows and crossbows, several foot soldiers drew their knives and killed them with arrows in the forest, the battle only lasted for a moment, the attackers in the dense forest left more than 30 corpses, the rest jumped and ran away, and the two sailors who had been scouts in Yangzhou in the past followed with knives and disappeared into the deep forest.

To be precise, Sun Ce and others were the invaders.

"Hides, rattan robes, and brass knives." The soldiers pulled the corpse to an open place, avoiding the dense woodland where it was easy to hide the enemy, and in the distance, the subordinates from the shore were gathering and running, Zhou Yu looked at the objects carried by the corpse, pulled the cork bow he picked up, and shook his head at Sun Ce: "Even the Central Plains were not like this six hundred years ago, what kind of place is this?" ”

Sun Ce also shook his head, picked up a rusty bronze sword in the hands of a corpse dressed in a leather armor skirt with feathers, and smiled at Zhou Yu: "There are still things that can be used, and this sword looks good." ”

The rust on the sword body was obviously well-polished and still bright, but it made Sun Ce feel strange when he first started it, the weight of this short sword was obviously wrong, and the hilt was a little too heavy. Then he carefully examined the sword grid, and saw the small characters engraved at the end of the blade: Seven years, Xiangbang Lu Buwei made, and the temple workers told Cheng to be conscientious.

"Gong Jin, what does the inscription on the sword mean?"

Zhou Yu took the short sword and was amazed, raised his head and smiled at Sun Ce: "This sword is a few years older than me and more than a dozen people combined, this is the sword of the pre-Qin period." ”

"Xiangbang Lu Buwei made, it means that the national minister Lu Buwei supervised the construction; "Historical Records: The Biography of Lü Buwei" contains: King Zhuangxiang ascended the throne for three years, and the prince was established as the king, and Lü Buwei was respected as the prime minister; In October of the tenth year of King Qin, he was exempted from the state of Lü Buwei; This is an antiquity of the seventh year of King Qin, it is really exquisite! ”

Zhou Yu said, his eyes touched the sword body with some confusion, the Qin sword hundreds of years ago has not been damaged until now, this is already extremely magical. At this time, Sun Ce also saw that this sword was not the wrong weight, but was shortened by the continuous polishing of the sword bearer, at first it may have been a long sword close to four feet, but now it has become a short sword that is less than three feet.

Sun Ce was not interested in how this sword ended up here, even if Zhou Yu guessed that the remnants of the Yue Kingdom fled into the sea during Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms and finally arrived here. In any case, they would not be too numerous and eventually wiped out by the savages on the island, otherwise they would not have been able to wear tattered hides with the same weapons as they were.

As for not Yingzhou here, Sun Ce is 100% sure. When they were on the ship, they specifically asked Han about the situation of Goguryeo, since the Goguryeo prince Yi Yinmo had fled to Yingzhou, perhaps relying on their relatively strong soldiers and horses had already reunited Yingzhou, and such weak soldiers should not be shown.

Sun Ce, who returned to the shore, waited for less than half a day, and when he arrived in the evening, he saw the previous scouts rushing out of the forest like a desperate person, even running and crawling to the front, and he didn't care about drinking a sip of water, so he pointed in the direction of the dense forest behind him as if he was frightened: "General, general, go quickly, get on the boat, there is a Yan army on the island!" ”

Yan Jun?

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, his expression on his face was extremely exciting, his eyes widened like copper bells, and said, "Yan Jun, how could Yan Jun be here?" ”

"I don't know, they are in a group with the savages, not long after the savages returned to the tribe, they found the Yan army, they have cavalry, hundreds of people! The boat was parked on the north shore, and there were a lot of tents on the shore, big bucket ships, many of them! ”

Tian Yu actually chased here, this is really ...... Maggots of tarsal bones!

Sun Ce had no other choice, he didn't plan to fight to the death with Yan Jun on this big island that was not Yingzhou, and if he continued to fight the Sun family, there would be nothing left, which was definitely not what he wanted to see. They had no choice but to board the boat the same way and wait to get around here before docking to collect food, and then continue to the northeast to find the legendary Yingzhou.

Let's go, the big island doesn't look like a rich place anyway.

That's right, this archipelago called Longqiu is indeed not a rich place, and even the name Longqiu was made by Tian Yu after crossing the sea to extinguish Yi Yinmo's rebellion on Wa Island when he sent troops to attack Yuan Shao from Goguryeo. The island's poor soil and outrageously small gold, silver, copper, and iron have meant that the people on the island do not even have decent farming tools, but although they do not understand the language of the Central Plains, the script used is Chinese.

Six hundred years ago, the Chinese language should probably be called Qin language.

Relying on guesswork, they learned quickly, and it didn't take long for them to be able to talk with the soldiers and horses left behind by Tian Yu in writing. Although the island does not have many useful things, it also produces its own specialties, such as conch shells, turtle shells, hawksbill turtles, and pearls.

These rare things are very beneficial to the Yan Clan...... Therefore, what Sun Ce found was not Tian Yu, Tian Yu had returned to Wu County early today. What they found was a fleet of ships left here by the Yan clan, specializing in transporting grain and agricultural tools from Lelang to exchanging treasures for Longqiu.

It's just that this caravan is full of samurai.

Note: Ryukyus is the Ryukyus.
