Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 119 Troops march into Yizhou

This boat is too small! Gan Gui carefully wiped the Banniu crossbow, with an indescribable desire flashing in his eyes.

When the crossbow was launched just now, Gan Gui could feel the tilt of the ship's hull even in the cabin.

After docking again and returning to the deck, we saw shallow cracks on the base of the Eight Ox Crossbow.

This is a trial. Guan Yu was still naked, just like the most common people in Gangui who make a living on the water.

In Gan Gui's opinion, General Guan is the most powerful general in the world. When he was in Jiangdong, the old man once said that Guan Yu was as powerful as him.

But such a general who rushes into battle to seize military ambitions and kills flags is unparalleled, and now he wants to recruit the navy?

But now it seems that there is really something to play! Not only did General Lixian and Corporal Li Xian live and eat with the sailors on the ship, he also asked for advice in a humble manner every time on the sailors' drills, which made Gan Gui flattered.

Nowadays, there are such new ships, it’s just...

In the future, General Guan can use this naval force to roam the east of the Yangtze River.

This is the only thought in Gan Gui's heart.

Looking at Guan Yu who was carefully inspecting and evaluating the condition of the hull, Gan Gui couldn't help but offer her own suggestions:

General Guan, this ship is too small.

As she spoke, Gan Gui stretched out her hands and gestured:

If this ship is as big as Marquis Sun's car, a round waterwheel like this can be placed on the ship without hindering the oars and sails.

Moreover, several repeating crossbows can be placed on each side of the ship's side to engage enemy ships. If these repeating crossbows shoot the sampan ferry, wouldn't it mean that both the men and the ship will be shattered?

and……

Gan Gui told the story excitedly, and Guan Yu listened carefully. In Gan Gui's vision, the big ship used sails for the wind and a water wheel and oars for the head wind. During the battle, it fired a series of crossbows. It could be called an invincible giant ship.

And if the Lian Nu's crossbow arrows are modified, Guan Yu drew inferences:

There is a hemp rope attached to the end of the crossbow arrow, and the crossbow arrow wedges into the enemy ship. Wouldn't the athletes be able to drag the enemy ship closer to Tiao Gang?

But now there is a problem. Guan Yu raised his head and pondered: The shipwrights in Jiangling City now have no way to build giant ships.

Gan Gui's eyebrows were filled with joy: I would like to go to Jiangdong!

Just when Guan Yu was looking at his warship, he was still thinking about how to improve it.

On the west side of Jingzhou, a team was already winding along the Yiling Road.

Pang Tong, who was riding on horseback, looked at the steep mountains and his face turned a little pale.

Looking at his lord who was walking on foot in front of him, Pang Tong's face was filled with gratitude.

As if he felt Pang Tong's gaze, Liu Bei turned around and said with a relaxed smile:

Shi Yuan is waiting for good news in Linju. Why do you insist on following him?

Pang Tong shook his head and whispered: Then Li Yi doesn't recognize the lord and only recognizes me. The lord comes in person without Tong accompanying him. What's his plan?

For this reason, Liu Bei stopped trying to persuade him and just looked ahead.

There were rugged rocks and rugged gorges in front of him. Liu Bei was lost for a moment. Ten years later, he would camp more than 50 camps here, and then achieve the name of Lu Xun?

Lord, Zigui is ten miles ahead. Huo Jun came back from the front to announce.

Rest on the spot. Liu Bei ordered.

It was February and winter, but fortunately, relying on the coal powder and the cooked grain powder distributed by Kongming, it was not difficult for Liu Bei and his party.

This time, Liu Bei sent troops to his headquarters of 3,000 people, and everyone was equipped with leggings. This thing has been verified before. A simple binding can really increase the marching speed, which also amazed a group of generals. They tried to equip the troops with whatever they could. superior.

After a brief rest, Liu Bei divided his troops.

He led a thousand men to advance with Pang Tong, while Chen Dao, Huo Jun, Feng Xi, and Zhang Nan followed with two thousand men to slow down and respond.

Outside Zigui City, Li Yi was already waiting here.

I didn't expect that Zhou Gongjin was so short-lived.

Li Yi sighed. He had already planned it before. When he heard that Zhou Gongjin was gathering troops in Chaisang, Li Yi had already thought about how big a house he wanted to buy in Jiangdong!

As a result, things changed surprisingly quickly.

Li Yi didn't know until November last year that Zhou Gongjin died suddenly of a serious illness. Whether Jiangdong could continue to attack Yizhou was a matter of two minds.

Fortunately, Pang Tong's secret letter was also sent with Zhou Gongjin's death.

This man claimed to be a personal follower of Zhou Gongjin, and was entrusted by him on his deathbed to seek refuge with Li Yi, hoping to attack Liu Bei with Jiangdong.

Li Yi did not comment on this. Since the credit for offering Yizhou was gone, he had to take some credit for investing in Jiangdong.

But he had also heard the names of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's account. If Jiangdong was powerful, he, Li Yi, wouldn't mind stepping on Liu Bei to gain credit.

If Jiang Dong himself was in trouble...he would tie up Pang Tong and send him to Chengdu, thinking that he could get a lot of benefits in exchange.

Therefore, Li Yi was happy to see Pang Tong's arrival.

General, they are coming! Those with sharp eyes have already seen the group of people, led by a scribe riding a white horse.

When the men and horses came out of the gorge and saw the solemn appearance of their troops, Li Yi felt a sudden shock in his heart.

But there are only a thousand people. There is a strong city behind you and two thousand defenders. What are you afraid of?

General Li, we have guests coming from afar. It's so cold, why don't you invite me in to talk? Pang Tong shouted.

Li Yi hesitated for a moment and said vaguely: You wrote a letter earlier saying that it contained a letter...

Then Li Yi saw Pang Gongcao riding a few dozen steps forward, took out a letter from his arms and said:

The letter is here for you to read!

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that Pang Gong Cao had only one old pawn beside him, he also rode out of the battle and stepped forward to see what conditions Sun Hou had prepared for him.

Before and after, Pang Tong handed the letter with an unfailing impatient expression on his face, which dispelled Li Yi's last worry, and he leaned forward to get the letter.

Jiangdong's mansions, fertile fields, and beautiful ladies may all be found in this letter!

And at this moment, the old soldier beside Pang Tong raised his head, with a pair of heroic eyes that refused to be inferior to others!

The unsheathed long sword was as bright as white practice in the dim sky. Li Yi subconsciously covered his throat. He could feel his strength and his dream of Jiangdong moving down his throat. It flows out tenaciously through the fingers.

Soldiers from both sides watched as the old soldier bent down and cut off Li Yi's head, then climbed onto Li Yi's mount, raised the head high and shouted loudly:

I am Uncle Liu Huang of the Han Dynasty. Li Yi, a traitor, wants to betray his master and seek glory. You will surrender if you don't restrain your hands. But do you want to rebel against the Han?!

The soldiers brought by Liu Bei shouted at the same time:

“Back the Lord for glory!”

Then thousands of people took a step forward at the same time and continued to shout:

You want to rebel against the Han!

At the same time, groups of soldiers lined up in the gorge behind them, marched together, and shouted in unison:

Being behind the Lord and asking for glory, you want to rebel against the Han!

At this time, the soldiers outside Zigui City were already shaken. You looked at me and I looked at you:

Have we become rebels?

Opposite is Uncle Liu Huang, who has a reputation for benevolence?

The silent soldiers did not hesitate for too long. Someone took the lead in throwing down their weapons, and soon the more than a thousand soldiers led by Li Yi out of the city surrendered.

For the people of Zigui, their daily lives have not changed much.

That day they saw General Li leading his army out of Zigui City in the morning, but in the evening, it was not General Li Yi who returned to Zigui City.

The faces, accents, and inquiring eyes of this group of soldiers made the old people quickly understand:

This is an army from out of town, they should be from Jingzhou!

Did someone from out of town call?

But the people of Zigui soon gave up this idea: If they were attacked, how could they not rob them?

There were also people from Dongzhou who had escaped from the disaster in Zigui city. One Li Gong fled from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, and Yuzhou fled to Jingzhou. When he arrived in Jingzhou, he heard that Cao Cao was coming, so he simply bought a boat and went up the river to Zigui to settle down.

In Li Gong's indifferent tone, Zigui people had an intuitive understanding of thieves coming like combs and soldiers coming like grates.

Soldiers plundered the city, captured women, conquered the fields, and massacred the city. Every word can make Zigui people pale.

But these soldiers today are different. Although there is undisguised greed in their eyes when they look at the people, when they look at the general leading the army in front, there is even more fear in their eyes.

Chen Dao in front listened to his lord's instructions.

I would like to ask my uncle to bring his own soldiers to maintain public order in the city. Anyone who disturbs the people will be killed immediately. Since you are receiving five hundred monthly payments, you must abide by military regulations and laws.

Chen arrived to take the order.

I would like to ask the military advisor to issue a notice of the situation, print it with an engraving, and place it in the city to inform us of the situation.

Pang Tong also accepted the order.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and continued to give instructions:

I would also like to ask my uncle to send out another personal soldier to lock Li Yi's house and count the remaining wealth. The servants and servants in the house will give him money to return home and send him away. As for Li Yi's relatives, they will be locked up for the time being.

My lord is benevolent. Pang Tong praised.

Watching Chen Dao take the order, Liu Bei sighed:

Thanks to Shi Yuan's talent, Zigui was able to acquire it without hurting the people at all.

Pang Tong didn't dare to take credit, but just sighed: It's all thanks to the detailed information on the light screen left by Gongyan.

There was no mention of Li Yiguang Curtain, but after Kong Ming and Jiang Wan carefully filtered the information, they basically found this doubt.

During the Hanzhong War, when the Xiang River Alliance was formed, Zigui Wu County was still in the hands of the lord. When General Yunchang was defeated, why did he not go to Zigui but retreat to the direction of Shangyong?

Even if it was because Liu Feng Mengda was in Shangyong of Fangling, if he could pass through Linju and enter the Yiling Road, the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he could have escaped.

Then there is only one possibility: with the so-called white clothes crossing the river, Zigui Wu County rebelled, and judging from the Lord's method of appeasing people after entering Yizhou, it was Li Yi who guarded this place all the time.

Li Yi originally followed Zhao Wei to rebel against Liu Zhang, but with Zhao Wei's defeat, Li Yi turned against Zhao Wei and returned to Liu Zhang. However, this was a temporary measure, the same as Pang Xi. As his power gradually grew, he also Liu Zhang was no longer taken seriously.

The arrival of Pang Tong filled in the last link: the water near Yiling was turbulent and there were many reefs, so the navy could not be used, but why was Zhou Gongjin still so confident that he wanted to conquer Yizhou?

There is also Li Yi's assistant.

Pang, Zhuge, and Jiang speculated that together with the white-clothed man crossing the river, there should be a plan to persuade Li Yi to surrender.

In this way, it makes sense why Lu Xun, a Jiangdong native, was able to advance and retreat in a controlled manner in the Yiling battle: most likely with the help of the surrendered general Li Yi.

In this case, Pang Tong took the initiative to ask Ying to carry out this dangerous plan:

In the name of Zhou Gongjin's last entrustment, he invited Li Yi to see him, and found an opportunity to kill the traitor with a sword. Zigui was leaderless, how could they resist?

Liu Bei felt it was too risky, but Pang Tongyi persisted.

Fortunately, the final result can be said to be very smooth. Zigui's troops fell without bloodshed and were able to advance westward!
