Overlord!

Chapter 82 Yuhang Qiantang Water Conservancy
"Building water conservancy, reclaiming wilderness, and both the army and the people, the east of the Yangtze River will be settled." Sun Zhizhi pondered for a moment, and immediately realized that he asked Lu Meng, "You mean the military station?"

Lu Meng immediately nodded and said: "The general has now arrived at Wucheng, and when he goes south to Qiantang, he will enter Kuaiji County, but the general now has a way to fix Kuaiji?"

Sun Ce had to admit that this little guy's vision was still very accurate. Let alone the Kuaiji now, even if he attacked the Kuaiji, he would be helpless.

The reason that hinders Sun Ce is also very simple, that is, insufficient logistics.

If you expect to collect the thousands of shi of grain from the powerful clan and attack Kuaiji County, even if you are invincible, the tens of thousands of troops will be gone on foot.

Because from Wu County to Kuaiji County, the marching range is too wide!
The grain was transported from Wu County to Dongye County in the south of Kuaiji County, which is equivalent to transporting grain from the later Jiangsu Province across Zhejiang Province and then to Fujian.

It is so troublesome to only attack Kuaiji County, and what is even more troublesome is that the resistance of Kuaiji County is far more intense than that of Wu County, and rebellions are also coming and going.

Gu Yong, the majestic Prime Minister of Eastern Wu, is sitting here, and he will continue to attract troops to put down the rebellion.

He Qi was ordered in the face of danger, and led the troops to fight day and night to stabilize the situation.

If there is a rebellion in Kuaiji County, troops and food reinforcements will be sent from Wu County, which is equivalent to Sun Ce's army having to move across half of the south of the Yangtze River every time.It will greatly restrain the energy of the entire force.

So at this moment, Sun Ce did not treat Lu Meng as a child at all, but regarded him as a weak crown genius like Da Sima Huo Qubing, and asked, "In your opinion, how should we deploy it?"

Lu Meng immediately said: "Yuhang and Qiantang are close to Zhejiang, and the soil is good. If we can build water conservancy here and run the water to the east, one acre will be collected as military expenses. It can save about five acres of rice fields in Wu County. Let [-] people settle down In Yuhang, [-] people garrison Qiantang. The water is abundant and the harvest is constant. After deducting all expenses, one million shi can be used as military funds at the end of the year. This can be used for more than ten thousand riders for a year! In this way, the grain of Wu County is supplied to the north, and Qiantang The food supply is difficult, and Kuaiji County no longer needs the general to bother."

Sun Ce nodded. Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, and Lu Meng's plan is a long-term solution.

But before Sun Ce could open his mouth, Sun Ben, the school lieutenant standing beside Sun Ce, couldn't understand Lu Meng's boastful talk, and scolded him, "A child with a baby mouth dares to talk about war on paper. If the lands of Yuhang and Qiantang really have such advantages, it will take you a lot more!" Words? Generals who don’t know the right time and location are mediocre! The two counties don’t know anything about geography, so they dare to speak out.”

Several Jiangnan generals next to them also laughed: "Amon, don't general praise you a few words, you just think you are a real talent. You still have a lot to learn! First of all, the floods in Yuhang and Qiantang are serious. Kentian!"

"If you really want to give you 2 people to cultivate the fields, then next year, not only will you not be able to accumulate grain, but you will have to provide food for you, which will become a drag."

Lv Meng is now a character who is not afraid of anything, and when others laughed at him, he immediately became angry and stern, and replied sharply: "So we need to build water conservancy! If we don't repair water conservancy, are you waiting for divine power to turn Qiantang into a land of abundance?"

"Good!" Sun Ce was instantly energized, and roared, "Amon's words are very ambitious! If I don't wait until the water conservancy is repaired, can this Qiantang become a fertile land by itself, a land of fish and rice?"

Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, with 10 households.Cloud trees surround the embankment and sand.The raging waves roll with frost and snow, and there is no limit to the moat.Pearls are listed in the market, households are full of Luoqi, competing for luxury.

Is it all natural?

of course not!It was someone who took care of the flood in Qiantang, and then there was the prosperity here since ancient times.

And since the flood can be cured sooner or later, why can't I cure it myself?

Su Shi was not born in the sky, so the Qiantang flood could last for 3000 years?

The flood in Qiantang that Su Shi could cure could be cured by himself!

Of course, Su Shi was not alone in managing the floods in Yuhang and Qiantang. Bai Juyi and Fan Zhongyan also built Qiantang water conservancy time and time again.

And these people's methods are roughly similar, that is, digging the West Lake silt, building a long embankment of hundreds of miles, and setting up sluices to drain water.

In short, repairing the fence, dredging the river, and installing gates are like a tripod, and one of them is indispensable.On this basis, Fan Zhongyan led [-] civilians to complete the project in only one year.

Sun Ce immediately thought of Liu You, the captain of Diannong under his command. He was interested in water conservancy himself, and he trained a group of water conservancy talents in the Shicheng County water conservancy project in Danyang.

Sun Ce said solemnly: "I will transfer Captain Diannong to come over and personally take charge of the water conservancy construction and military settlements in Yuhang and Qiantang, and save food and grass for the attack on Kuaiji County next year!"

Sun Ben didn't expect that Sun Ce would really support this whimsical idea, and immediately said: "Bofu, why bother? Let alone whether there will be floods next year, just [-] troops will be stationed young and strong. Bofu plans to go to Where to recruit?"

Sun Ce's attitude was firm: "We can't wait for the flood to occur before making temporary relief. Regardless of whether there will be a flood in Qiantang next year, the next year, or even five years, the construction of water conservancy must start immediately! As for the [-] troops stationed in youth..."

Sun Ce laughed. Are you afraid that you won't find many young adults in this troubled world?

He then pointed his sword to the south, and said fiercely: "The powerful rebels in the south are rising, and they are gathering everywhere. There are thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers! There are more than [-] troops in Wang Sheng alone. All generals, defeat this thief for me. , collect and disperse, become king and overlord!"

The soldiers of the three armies immediately stood upright, and the sound of their neat heels approaching was as majestic as thunder.

Under Sun Ce's awe-inspiring will, the next day the army marched to the second rebellious and powerful Wubao in Wucheng County.

The soaring fire in Miaoshiwu Fort has already been detected by the rebels.

As soon as Sun Ce's army arrived, the rebellious tycoon sent envoys to ask for surrender, and asked Sun Ce to spare his life.

However, Sun Ce directly refused and ordered to attack the city, which was bound to punish the entire rebellious and powerful family.

In this siege, Sun Ce finally used his main force.

Zhou Tai led more than 2000 Xuanjia elites to the city directly under the cover of more than [-] crossbowmen.

Two thousand archers lined up under Wubao, more than double the number of all the rebellious tyrants.

Arrows blocked out the sun, and there was not even a foothold on the rampart.

The strength of this place is far inferior to that of Miao's. Under the attack of the dense arrow array, dozens of tribes collapsed directly, and they wanted to flee to the city, which even caused a burst of chaos above the barrier.

Zhou Tai seized the opportunity immediately, carried the battle ax in person, and climbed onto the city wall wearing heavy armor.

It took only half an hour for the army to stand firmly on the top of the city, and it was only a matter of time to break through Wubao.

But at this moment, the scouts finally came with good news. Cheng Zi ran to Sun Ce himself, and said excitedly, "General, a large-scale army is rushing towards this place from the northeast."

The generals who clustered around Sun Ce were all delighted, and they gathered here to prevent the strong Wucheng County from cooperating with other powerful forces.

However, what the army is most afraid of is the enemy's reinforcements. On the contrary, they are afraid that the opponent will stick to Wubao and gather everywhere.

Chen Wu immediately asserted: "General, this must be the reinforcements sent by Wang Sheng! I said that with the power of Wucheng County, he dared to rebel. They march at speed."

Sun Ce waved his hand and said decisively: "No need! Today we are fighting on two fronts at the same time, attacking the city and defeating Wang Sheng's support army at the same time. Suppress this rebellion, and our battle to quell Wu County will end quickly! "

Several school lieutenants immediately asked for orders: "General, I'm going to defeat this thief!"

"I will destroy this thief for the general!"

The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard the battle, and Sun Ce was very pleased, and immediately ordered: "Qingyue is the captain of the southern part of Wu County, and you have five thousand cavalry in charge to defeat this thief."

Xu Kun immediately went out and ordered Sun Ben and Ling Cao to lead the army to meet the enemy with him. They have a total of [-] disciples and can serve as the main force.Then he brought four hundred crossbowmen and thousands of cavalry under Chen Wu's troops.

This lineup is not to mention powerful, even if it is facing Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army head-on.

Wang Sheng's army is not far from here. After all, their gathering place is in a neighboring county, and they can arrive there very quickly by marching quickly.

And their mighty momentum was even noticed by the powerful defenders of the city. The arrival of the reinforcements boosted the morale of the defenders in a short time.

But Sun Ce's army was not the mob of Zhou Zhang's men. Even if they saw the enemy's banners stretching, they were well-organized and disciplined.

After Xu Kun completed the formation, he immediately advanced to meet the enemy's sharp edge.

Two huge armies are about to fight fiercely in front of the mighty fortress in Wucheng County.

Sun Ce also took all the generals under his command to stand on the side high slope overlooking the battlefield and watch the battle from the sidelines.

The terrain of Wucheng County is flat, there is no terrain to ambush, and the battlefield situation is clear at a glance.

Standing beside Sun Ce, Cheng Pu frowned slightly as he watched the situation of the upcoming confrontation in the distance: "Wang Sheng's banners are stretching, and the army is boundless. The number must exceed ten thousand, perhaps nearly three times that of Captain Wu. In this case , Wang Sheng's troops must be selected as the front army, and under the confrontation between the two armies, if Wu Duwei cannot defeat the enemy quickly, his troops may suffer heavy losses."

Wu Jing cursed angrily: "This is impossible. Not only must we win this battle, but we must win it swiftly! Like Taiwei Zhu, he shocked the whole state and made all the powerful people terrified and dared not repeat it. Rebellion. Otherwise, tyrants and bandits will gather thousands of people to rebel against the county, and Wu County will never be peaceful!"

"That's right, the tyrants and bandits must be terrified by this battle, and the rest of the generation will be terrified by our army's might!" Sun Ce nodded, and the Taiwei that Wu Jing was talking about was Zhu Jun, a famous general at the end of Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, these tycoons were defiant, and if there were more than ten thousand people, tens of thousands of them would dare to break through counties and counties and even fight with the Han army.

The Jiaozhi group of bandits once gathered more than ten thousand people to launch a rebellion during the Guanghe period, and the prefect and state shepherd could not stop it.

In such a place where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is difficult for the Han court to organize a large army to counter the rebellion.So he appointed Zhu Jun as the governor of Jiaozhou, and tried to put down the rebellion by himself.

Zhu Jun had no troops in his hands, so he returned to his hometown in Kuaiji County, mobilized his family soldiers, recruited a large number of soldiers, and got 5000 people.Then he went straight to Jiaozhi, and within ten months, the state and county were pacified, and Liang Long, the leader of the rebel army, was beheaded.

Since then, the bandits in Jiaozhou have been safely and steadily following the orders of the prefects and county magistrates ordered by the Han Dynasty.

Sun Ce looked at the battlefield with a stern gaze. Wu Jun's tyrants were short of such an unforgettable defeat, so they gathered more than ten thousand people and dared to rebel, and even dared to come to support arrogantly and attack Sun Ce's main force.

They thought that Sun Ce, like them, was a local vassal and general in Guanzhong with a crowd of more than ten thousand and rising husbands.

This battle is to let them remember that the elite army under Sun Ce is very different from the reckless people under their command!

And following Sun Ce's attention, two huge armies were slowly approaching in the field.

Xu Kun obviously also knew that the opponent would definitely put the elite troops in the forefront, so he chose to use strong walls and thick barriers to avoid the enemy's sharp edge and rub the enemy's spirit. Then launch a counterattack.

Under this deployment, the Mandarin Duck Formation can be said to have exerted its combat power to the extreme. What they are best at is to deal with this kind of private fighters who are vainly brave. siege with spears and halberds.

On the front line, the mandarin duck formation was even more attacking, and the mob behind them were afraid of their hands and feet, and they didn't dare to step forward to support them.

On the battlefield with a scale of tens of thousands, the fierce battle lasted for a long time, and all the fallen were densely packed, and only two or three of the mandarin duck soldiers were injured!
So the generals watching the battle were shocked to find that Captain Xu had dispatched all his cavalry almost as soon as the battle started.

Chen Wu also had a look of disbelief when he received the military order. He thought he would have to wait at least one or two hours before the iron cavalry had a chance to dispatch.

But then he roared excitedly: "The whole army is on horseback."

With an order, thousands of iron cavalry immediately got on their horses, raised their spears upside down, and began to slowly spread out their formation with the armored dragon sparrow cavalry and black armor cavalry as sharp points, and directly launched a fierce attack on the slightly chaotic right flank of the enemy. .

Chen Wu took the lead, shaking his right arm and roaring: "Iron cavalry line up, advance and never retreat, follow me to crush the enemy!"

"Wan Sheng!"

With a roar, the huge array of iron cavalry began to accelerate, trampling with iron hooves, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains, and the banners and armor illuminated the heaven and the earth.

Even in a dream, I never imagined that there is such a turbulent trend in the world. The iron cavalry seems to want to break through the whole world. How can manpower resist this?

Especially the iron cavalry in the lead, including men and horses, are all covered with heavy armor, tall and burly, with angry eyes and roaring, like gods and ghosts.

Without waiting for the command, countless powerful men were frightened, turned around and fled after throwing down their weapons, so as not to die under the iron hoof.

The enemy army was in chaos as soon as they charged, Chen Wu naturally led the iron cavalry to drive straight in.

The generals who watched the battle were deeply shocked by this scene. Thousands of powerful troops were crushed in front of the iron cavalry, invincible.

It was expected to fight fiercely for several hours, but at this moment, under the attack of iron cavalry, tens of thousands of enemy troops were defeated in an instant, and the mountains and plains were full of deserters.

But more importantly, even if the deserters wanted to escape, they couldn't escape. Thousands of cavalry were in a no-man's land in the wave of routs. Anyone who didn't surrender would die.

Soon Chen Wu rode back with his personal guards, threw a noble son tied into a rice dumpling at Sun Ce's feet, and said excitedly: "General, I have successfully captured the enemy general Wang Yue, and I have interrogated him. He is one of Wang Sheng's sons."

Wang Yue's face was pale, seeing Sun Ce knelt down and screamed: "Brother, brother, I am A Yue! When we were young, we used to go hunting together. I still remember that my elder brother liked hunting the most, and he boasted that he wanted to shoot tigers himself." , give each of us a piece of tiger skin. Thinking of the past kindness, please forgive me, brother."

Sun Ce lowered his head and glanced at him, with a stern expression on his face: "You are thinking about past kindness? If you really think about old kindness, why don't you care about me? Instead, you took the lead in gathering people and launching a rebellion, trying to put me to death! You even led your troops here personally Be my enemy."

Sun Ce waved his hand resolutely: "The owl's head will be shown to the public and the three armies. Pick a few defeated soldiers and let them go, let them bring the heads to Wang Sheng, and pass a message to him, and I will take his head next."

　I wish you all a happy Friday and a happy holiday
