At sunset.

Above the Pengze River.

The boats are scattered and the war drums are scattered. The Qin Dynasty's flags are flying at the bow of the ship. At the position of the ship, there is a small banner with the surname of the general.

With one ship as one, three ships as a team, one main ship and two sub-ships. Generally speaking, the size, tonnage and number of soldiers of the main ship are more than that of the sub-ships. Ji Bu's ship is a large ship with three layers of upper and lower air. This kind of building ship made of giant trees in the deep mountains of the Funiu Mountains is very strong. As long as the angle is appropriate, the sharp angle of the bow can tear the opponent's tummy in an instant.

Li Yuan stood on the deck with both feet, his face turned pale and his feet were slightly shaking. Although the amplitude was not large, it made people feel dizzy and he was about to vomit.

"King Wu, why not go back to the cabin to rest for a while. The wind and waves on the river are strong, and the boat will shake even harder later." Ji Bu said with some concern.

"It's okay. If you can't even stand this little storm, my south of Qin will end up in the river." Li Yuan shook his head and refused to resist.

As the boat was traveling on the river, the shaking became larger and larger as the wind and waves collided. However, Li Yuan and others had already passed the initial discomfort period. Although their faces were still pale, they could withstand the shaking of the ship in at least a short time.

The river breeze is blowing.

It hits you.

The river is full of smoke and waves, and the water and sky are the same. In the spring scenery of March, a few flying swallows cross the water, bringing one or two drops of water, which looks quite a bit like the beautiful scenery of "the autumn water is the same as the sky, and the lonely geese and the falling sunset are flying together". This endless and vast water and sky scene makes people feel relaxed and happy while feeling touched.

Ji Bu chose to practice water battles. It was the intersection of Pengze and Dajiang, and it was also the entrance of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River in later generations. In the Qin Dynasty, Pengze and Dajiang were completely connected to the water system. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there were water areas. Once the ships were in danger, they were completely rescued.

Above the water surface, Jiujiang naval army was divided into two branches, one from south to north and the other from north to south. The soldiers on the two fleets shouted and kept encouraging their morale. Arrowless arrows flew down in the air. When the string war was met, both sides even stared red, hoping to swallow the other party.

"Wu King Wu, what about these Jiujiang children of the last general?" Seeing the athletes giving him a face, Ji Bu was also proud. Li Yuan did not give Feng Xuan an explanation in Nanjun, but instead turned to Jiujiang County, which made Ji Bu excited. If he grasped it well, the main general who crossed the river this time would not be able to escape.

Before Li Yuan could answer, he heard a vague shout from the river in the distance: "Brother Ji, why didn't this army exercise call me Lao Peng? You and I are in the same river, and it's just a little while?"

Ji Bu heard this loud shout, his face turned red suddenly, and he stammered: "Book by King Wu. Is this the General Peng Yue of Donghai County coming?"

Li Yuan smiled faintly and said disrespectfully: "Peng Yue is here, then wait a little longer - let's see how his navy army is practicing?"

This southern tour, he mainly inspected Feng Xuan, Ji Bu and Peng Yue. Now that Peng Yue has come up with him, it has saved him the trouble of going to Donghai County again.

Peng Yue's fleet went up the river from the downstream.

Just now, after listening to the scouts from a distance, Ji Bu's naval army was performing on the river, then he shouted suddenly to show his identity and prevent unnecessary misunderstandings from happening with each other.

When it was approaching, Peng Yue first saw Li Yuan's big banner here, so he hurriedly jumped from his boat and rushed over in a small sampan.

Peng Yue is already forty-five and six years old.

This age is the age when a man has gone from prosperity to decline. If he has no outstanding achievements in the past two years, Peng Yue will have to retire as the governor of Donghai County. Moreover, with the emergence of young generals and officials, it is difficult to estimate how long he can last in office with his qualifications.

Therefore, while still having energy, try hard to get the opportunity to fight this southern expedition. This is Peng Yue's extremely eager wish.

Peng Yue jumped onto the stairs boat and saw Li Yuan's appearance. Before he could stand firm, he knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general, Peng Yue, the governor of Donghai County, please see King Wu!"

Compared with the pride and disdainful look on his face when he first met Li Yuan, Peng Yue's respectful attitude towards Li Yuan is a big turn of 180 degrees.

"Haha, it's true that General Peng is here. I just listened to the sound. This time I inspected Jiangzuo, the next place I want to go is Donghai County. Now that you happen to be here, it saves a lot of hard work." Li Yuan smiled and helped Peng Yue up and said.

Peng Yue, Ying Bu and Han Xin were also known as the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty. However, none of these three people had a good ending. In order to clear the obstacles and threats of the Liu family, Liu Bang began to fight against dissidents at the end of the Chu-Han War. As a result, Han Xin was lured and killed, Ying Bu was defeated and destroyed, while Peng Yue was the worst. He simply made human meat soup by Lu Zhi and sent the meat soup to various princes for them to taste them one by one.

This inhumane practice also made the generals who followed Liu Bang to fight thousands of miles in the early Han Dynasty one by one. If they didn't want to be killed, they could only rebel, and the result of the rebellion was still killed. In such a vicious cycle, when the Huns invaded in a large scale, Liu Bang had no choice but to bring his confidant brothers in Pei County to battle.

As the saying goes, you won’t know each other without fighting.

Peng Yue is quite a bit like a hero in the world. He was dismissed at the beginning and kept looking down on Li Yuan. But now he is completely convinced in the face of the strong momentum of Qin.

Peng Yue's Qin army from the East China Sea came this time, with a small number of about 1,000 people. However, according to Peng Yue, the main force of the East China Sea Navy was stationed in the Moling area of ​​Jiangzuo, and its forces had expanded to nearly 15,000. A considerable part of them were the remnants of the Yingbu Army incorporated by Peng Yue.

The thief family.

After the defeat of Ying Bu, the remaining troops were scattered, and a small part surrendered to Western Chu, and finally became a branch of the Chu army. More troops returned to the rivers. However, with the strength of Qin, the Qin army's attack on the bandits continued to strengthen. The bandits' lives were very unsatisfactory. This time, Peng Yue recruited soldiers in Donghai County. After thinking about it, the bandits took their brothers to join.

Compared with the newly recruited young and strong, Peng Yue's bandit armed forces have outstanding real-time combat power. Looking at the momentum of more than 1,000 people from the Peng army and more than 20 warships rushing forward in front of Jibu's hundreds of large ships, it is self-evident who is more powerful.

Combined with the Qin Navy divisions along the river, the total strength of the total was about 30,000. There were no less than 400 warships of all sizes. If this force was gathered and used reasonably, it would not be able to resist any Yue tribe.

——.

Peng Yue rushed to Jiujiang and saved Li Yuan from going to Jiangzuo. Li Yuan, who had the confidence, also took advantage of the situation to convene an emergency military meeting before the Battle of Crossing the River in six counties in Jiujiang County.

Those who participated in this meeting were Ji Bu, the governor of Jiujiang County, Peng Yue, the governor of Donghai County, Jiang Yu, the governor of Kuaiji County, Feng Xuan, the governor of Nanjun County, and the governor of Kuaiji County, Zhou Yin, the governor of Nanyang County, Chen Xi, the governor of Nanyang County, Luan Bu, Wang Huang, Manqiuchen and others who were responsible for subsequent support also arrived in Qi one after another.

Judging from the source of these Qin generals, most of them were surrendered generals who opposed Qin princes from Guandong. Most of them were Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's old subordinates, only Feng Xuan and Jiang Yu were originally from the Qin people in Guanzhong.

However, now that the princes of Guandong have all been destroyed, everyone is a member of Qin. There is no need to trace the past again. This time, the important thing is to discuss how to deal with the battle of crossing the river and allow the Qin army soldiers to adapt to the humid and stuffy jungle environment in the south as soon as possible. The generals from the south also expressed their opinions. Li Yuan felt that he was ignored.

The Qin State's national policy was due to the Xiongnu people. It had long been emphasized in the north and over the south, and the southern generals were also suffering from insufficient logistics supply.

Among them, Zhou Yin, who had already set foot in Jiangdong, Jiang Yu had the greatest opinion, and Ding Gong was defeated. This was the first time that the Qin army had defeated consecutive battles. Three thousand soldiers were buried in the wilderness valley, and the expenses of such as mercy were second. The most important thing was that this defeat made the Qin army in Jiangdong unable to raise its head in front of other units.

This time, Li Yuan's southern tour brought a signal to cross the river and attack the Baiyue tribes south of the river. How could these southern Qin generals not be happy?

After five consecutive days of hot discussion, the final crossing of the river was released. Peng Yue unexpectedly took on the main general of the Southern Army of Qin with his strong strength and the outstanding performance of his subordinates. His army would join Ji Bu. Luan Bu's two troops had a total of more than 20,000 troops and more than 300 warships. The army went up from Jiujiang County along Pengze and Gan River, and the troops headed directly to Meijuan's old nest located on Wuling.

Capturing the thief and capturing the king, Mei Juan was the backbone among the three anti-Qin forces. His Wuling tribes were also the elite among the Baiyue tribes. Peng Yue regarded him as his opponent and was attracted by this.

In addition to Peng Yue, in the area of ​​Nanjun, in order to cooperate with Peng Yue's attack, Feng Xuan's Nanjun navy general launched a feint attack on Changsha. In order to increase the attacking force, Chen Xi and Manqiuchen led about 10,000 troops from Nanyang County and Sanchuan County to follow up.

Chen and Manqiu had no objection to this arrangement. Although Feng Xuan was young, he was Li Yuan's direct descendant and had the record of defeating King Liu Bang of Han in the Battle of Jingnan. Chen Xi and Manqiu had not been defeated too badly in that battle, they would not have been forced to surrender to Qin.

As for the direction of Jiangdong, Jiang Yu continued to recruit soldiers in Wujun and Kuaiji County, and trained new recruits in Taihu area, and put on a stance to attack Wuzhu tribes who were ready to attack the Minyue area at any time. Of course, if Wuzhu could be lured out of the Minyue Mountains, it would be a surprise.

The war drum of the southern expedition was ringing, and with Li Yuan's order, the entire Qin State quickly mobilized. On the road leading to the south, busy transportation and supplies were shuttled back and forth, making people feel nervous and suffocating when the storm was about to come.

March 21st.

The Pengyue fleet set out from Pengzekou, Jiujiang County, with several warships lined up in a row. The black flag of the Qin Dynasty was waving and rolling around at the bow and stern of the ship, like dark clouds covering the sun. The soldiers on the deck were like forests, with dazzling swords and guns, which made people feel a little awe in their lives.

The dot on the riverside is on the stage.

Li Yuan handed the tiger talisman to Peng Yue's hand, and then patted the old friend who had first met Daliang. After more than ten years of control, Peng Yue's temples faintly showed a few strands of white hair. However, Peng Yue's face was very rosy, and the pair of eyes were full of excitement.

"I am the only general Peng! See you next day, and I hope it will be a triumphant time!" Li Yuan said loudly.

"The last general——, the last general swears here, and he should do his best to live up to the entrusted king of Wu! Peng Yue stumbled his lips, bowed and then stepped onto the ship.

From Li Yuan's eyes, Peng Yue's shoulders were trembling slightly. Not only Peng Yue, but also the thousands of soldiers in the Qin army in the Southern Expedition were particularly eager to look at Li Yuan.

A man will win his fame immediately.
