However, it was said that Ji Bu led the army to set off a day earlier, and the 50,000 former troops also took ships when they were in Jingling, and they also went south from the Han River, and after arriving in Shaxian, they were stationed outside the city for a day.

During the necessary period of recuperation, Ji Bu met with the garrison officers of Shaxian and obtained a preliminary understanding of the situation in Lujiang County from the garrison officers. Yan Bi is in Lujiang County, and he has been passing on news about Lujiang County to Nanjun. Ji Bu learned that Xiang Liang's 150,000 troops had arrived two days earlier, and were now facing off with Huan Chu's army on the front line of Wuyang, and he searched the map for a long time before finding the location of Wuyang.

Wuyang County is one of the five large counties of Lujiang County, close to the first line of Zhejiang Water and directly in front of Huizhang County and Huiji County, where the terrain is not a dangerous place to be defended, on the contrary, it is a relatively flat area.

Ji Bu stared at the map for a long time, except for the extremely southern area in Lujiang County, there is no dangerous place in the east, only in the northwest there is a big mountain and a piece called Peng Xinze that can be defended.

None of the five big counties is in the northwest region, the cities of each county were ordered to be demolished last year, Huan Chu has not been able to unify Lujiang County, in fact, even if it is unified, there is no way to restore the city walls of each county in a short period of time like Lu Zhe, and Lujiang County is different from Nanjun, the turmoil in Nanjun is a timely suppression, but Lujiang County is a county where more than a dozen forces are fighting and the waves are washed down, and the population loss is much stricter than that of Nanjun.

Huan Chu is destined to have no terrain advantage on the defensive side, and it is 10,000 understandings for Huan Chu to send troops to stop Ji Bu, after all, Lujiang County is like that, unless Huan Chu is willing to retreat to the northwest region, otherwise it will be the same everywhere.

Ji Bu's authority is only enough to know the military dynamics of the two sides, and he does not have the authority to know about the political game. After reading the map, he closed his eyes and kept thinking, lacking the intelligence details of the political game, how could he understand everything by thinking alone?

The battle of Wuling Mountain in Cangwu County was almost the first time Ji Bu experienced the pain, and after having a lesson, he usually had a hot personality and finally knew how to calm down when encountering war. He also didn't want to be removed from his official position again, this time he had already told himself countless times that he must think about it comprehensively when he led the army alone again. If you would have learned about the military situation first, it is estimated that you will run into it first.

The military order was to lead the army to Fanyang, the capital of Lujiang County, but Lu Zhe did not limit Ji Bu on the route, Ji Bu thought for a long time and opened his eyes and looked at the mountains and rivers, and his eyes were constantly looking at the Yushui connecting the Yangtze River and Peng Xinze.

There are not many roads to choose from Nanjun to enter Lujiang County, except for entering Lujiang County along the Yangtze River, you need to enter Lujiang County from the mountains on the first line of Huanggang by land. In fact, both roads have to pass through Hengshan County, which can be regarded as helping to carve and deter Hengshan County, right?

"It's the fastest way to enter by water, but you have to send someone to inform Huan Chu first to lift the iron cable in the river along the line of the road." Ji Bu looked away from Yutu, and he walked out in a daze. A gust of cold wind made him walk to the cabin door again.

Winter is about to begin, although most areas in the south do not snow, but in the winter there will basically be frost and frost, occasionally there will be a burst of clouds and rain, the climate is not as cold as the north but definitely not warm.

"I don't know if the lord will order someone to make winter clothes...... "It's very strange, Ji Bu would think about winter things, and he can worry about the soldiers without winter clothes, I have to say that it is a huge progress, it can be seen that encountering setbacks will always make people grow.

How can the waterway not get around Peng Xinze (Fanyang Lake). At that time, it was possible to take the east coast by land and bypass a patch of algae to reach Fanyang. If you don't go ashore when you arrive at Peng Xinze, you can continue to go south, and enter the Yushui water system from the Peng Xinze water system, and you can go east along the river until Yugan and then go ashore. At that time, you could take the straight road directly to Fanyang.

"After all, the distance difference between the two roads is one day ......" The far one that bypassed the swamp, Ji Bu chose to take the one that went to Yushui and then Yugan, "It's a pity." The military order is to go to Fanyang, otherwise it is the best plan to follow the Yushui eastward direction and directly enter Huiji County. ”

The remaining water runs through Lujiang County, Huiji County, and Huizhang County. If there is a strong naval army, it can really be transported along the river all the time, but it is a pity that Lu Zhe only has a dozen warships under his command, and the rest are cargo ships recruited from the people.

Because Xiang Liang led the army to the expedition, Huizhang County and Huiji County entered a state of war, and the scouts and spies sent in the early stage were temporarily in the stage of disconnection, and Lu Zhe's side did not know whether Xinchu had a naval army for the time being, and Lu Zhe's way of considering it was more prudent, since he didn't know if there was a naval army, he should have it, so this time he didn't think about going deep at all, just to remove Xiang Liang's threat to Lujiang County.

Ji Bu is not the master of one party, and his way of thinking is only in the way of a general, and to put it bluntly, he doesn't have so many concerns.

After Sha Xian finished resting, the next day the 50,000-strong army set off by boat, and it took them two days to approach the boundary of Lujiang County and stop outside the border.

There are rivers and rivers, and the defense of the rivers under the absence of a naval army is to arrange obstacles such as iron cables, ropes, and nets in the rivers, and Lu Zhe defends against the Qin army that Bashu may go down the river to do this, although Huan Chu borrowed troops to Lu Zhe and intended to attach, but the necessary precautions have not been given up at all, and in order to prevent Lu Zhe from also going down the river, he will naturally arrange it.

"Send a boat to the administrative office (garrison) to inquire." Ji Bu had sent someone to inform him two days ago, but the person who sent him had not returned, and he still needed to confirm it again.

After a while, the boat sent returned with the same people on the boat as the one sent two days earlier.

After they got to the flagship, they reported to Jibu that the water barrier had been removed a month earlier, and the army could continue to flow downstream.

"Huh? Why didn't General Huan's people show up? Ji Bu ordered the whole army to stop on the one hand to confirm, but more to inform Huan Chu's people that he had led the army to come, but he didn't know why there was no general on Huan Chu's side, he looked ahead for a while, not to mention that there was not a boat or a raft on the river.

The person sent earlier immediately replied: "Yesterday, one of the right leaders here (an official position unique to the state of Chu) got some order to leave, and the few thousand people left with the same position, I don't know who should come to receive them." ”

How to say that Ji Bu is also the main general of the army, and he will not rush to receive him without almost the same status.

There is a square circle of etiquette, what kind of person should have what kind of identity and specifications should be received, the high status of the reception of one or two levels of low is called condescension, and the reception of high positions by one or two levels is an insult.

Ji Bu repeatedly looked at the unusually calm surface of the river, and constantly observed the situation on both sides of the river.

"Each boat has a boat and a boat, and the boat is in front, on the left and right sides." Ji Bu had to be careful, the people on Huan Chu's side did not appear, and he didn't see anything floating on the river, and the situation was a little weird. He also ordered: "The ships are on the outside, and the rest are in the middle of the procession." Again, order the whole army to be on high alert, and unless I have an order, anyone who is not ours will come near and shoot immediately! ”

The order was given, the trumpets and war drums of the fleet were played, and since none of them knew the flag of the navy, the flagship needed to send someone to take the boat by boat.

"General, look!" A military marquis pointed to the east bank.

Ji Bu turned his head to look, and a team appeared in the distance, with more than 20 riders running at the front, and 500 people on foot. When he got closer, he recognized the banner of this group of people, which was a rectangular flag with the word "Huan" written on a yellow background.

"Is it Huan Chu's people?" Ji Bu's eyes narrowed, "The order to prepare for battle remains unchanged, and then send someone to pick up the people from Huan Chu's side." ”

It seems to be very cautious, but this is exactly what a general must do when he can't be sure of the danger, and in a way, Ji Bu is indeed growing?

The highest status of the person who came from Huan Chu's side was not the right leader of the area, but a general of Yu.

This general looked a little wrong when he got on the flagship? He first asked: "This general, the lord of you and I is an ally, how can the general ...... in Lujiang?"

Ji Bu Ke doesn't care what allies are or not, he should prepare for war if he thinks it's inappropriate, and everything else is secondary. He did not answer the general's question immediately, but carefully asked the right leader of the pro-army garrison next to him if he had come, and when he learned that the right leader was coming, he looked at it carefully, and then said to the general: "The march of the army in the field is a precaution, not against friendly troops. ”

This is nonsense, the fleet is still changing, it means that it is a temporary order, this general is not a layman to the navy, where can he not see this way? However, he didn't dwell on an answer after getting an answer: "My lord is now leading the troops on the front line of Wuyang, is this general leading the army to rendezvous?" ”

"The order given to the cloth by my lord is to go to Fanyang." Jibu replied with a smile.

"This ......" General Yu had a worried face, and said hurriedly: "Xiang Liang led 150,000 troops to come, and my lord only had 80,000, and the two armies have been facing each other for two days. Xiang Liang sent someone to invite my father-in-law to talk, and my father-in-law had already prevaricated many times. Now the situation between the two sides is becoming more and more tense, Xiang Liang may launch an attack at any time, it is really ...... to fight 80,000 to 150,000, and I also ask the general to report to your lord urgently, and the army will be transferred to the front line of Wuyang to join my lord's guild, so as to deal with Xiang Liang together. ”

Ji Bu was still smiling, "This general, the order I got is to go to Fanyang, and the military order cannot be violated." If it's really critical, maybe ......"

General Yu on the Huan Chu side immediately asked for advice when he heard "maybe".

"Maybe you should send someone to inform my lord, only if my lord gives an order, this army can change its original intention, otherwise you say that no matter how much you dobu, you won't dare to disobey the lord's order and go to the front line of Wuyang to join your lord's guild." Ji Bu had been observing Laijiang's expression as he spoke, as if he was suspicious of something. (To be continued......)
