Sun Jian, the tiger in Jiangdong, led the navy and joined the general Huan Wen of Tongque to attack Song Jiang. The two sides fought a water battle with Poyang Lake.

The water surface of Poyang Lake was shining into the sky, the smoke churned, and hundreds of small warships were burned.

Song Jiang's journey, the fishing boat faced a regular navy composed of tower ships, fighting ships and turrets, and was soon defeated.

Sun Jian did not give Song Jiang and his generals any chance to fight one-on-one. He used a large ship to hit Song Jiang's fishing boat, and fire arrows spread across the sky and poured down.

The fishing boat was filled with fire arrows and black smoke rolled.

Under the protection of the reckless man Li Kui, Song Jiang fled back to the water camp.

Song Jiang's general was covered in dust and was defeated in the face of the attack of the tigers in Jiangdong. He returned to the water camp and gathered thousands of water bandits and township warriors to defend the village.

People in the water village were panic.

In the Poyang Lake area, they are also quite powerful, but compared with the real princes, Song Jiang's water bandit troops are at a disadvantage regardless of the structure and the quality of the army.

Hundreds of warships surrounded the water village, and tower ships blocked the exit of the water village.

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Liu Laozhi (General of the Tongque North Prefecture Army) led their troops to attack by land and blocked all roads.

Song Jiang wanted to break through, but the other party's crossbow suppressed him and retreated.

"Brother, Sun Jian, the tiger in Jiangdong, sent someone to recruit you!"

Currently, Song Jiang's navy commander Zhang Shun, with more than a dozen minions, came down from a warrior and brought a general.

The person sent by Sun Jian carried a long sword in his hand and was a little contemptuous towards Song Jiang and others.

In Han Dang's eyes, Song Jiang and his group were just water bandits.

Li Kui, Liu Tang, Dong Ping and others followed Song Jiang, and saw Han Dang's arrogant attitude and showed displeasure.

Han Dang said, "My Lord wants to surrender to you and serve my Lord. In the future, you will not be allowed to plunder the people of Poyang Lake. My Lord will give you military pay."

Song Jiang showed a strange look, or in other words, he seemed quite moved by Sun Jian's revenge.

Li Kui was the first to stand up and oppose: "What a man our elder brother is? Just you want to recruit us too? See if my Ghost King Axe agrees!"

Another strong man with a cinnabar on his temple also stood up: "We have so many heroes, we may not be able to defeat the Jiangdong tiger!"

Han Dang looked at the Black Tornado and the Red-haired Ghost, with murderous intent in his eyes, which made Li Kui and Liu Tang timid.

Han Dang followed Sun Jian at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was one of the four generals of Jiangdong. He killed many more enemies on the battlefield than those of Li Kui and Liu Tang.

In the face of the murderous aura of professional military generals, Li Kui and Liu Tang would also feel afraid.

"Please go back and inform the prefect and give us a day to consider."

Song Jiang struggled between recruiting and resisting.

"After a day, if you do not surrender and break through the water village, all those who resist will be executed!"

After Han Dang left, the water village gathering hall was silent.

Sun Jian not only brought Changsha soldiers, but also the Northern Mansion Army sent by Tongque. Both armies were extremely capable corps. Most of the Liangshan Army and the Township Warriors recruited by Song Jiang, who did not have to pay military pay, had no ability to resist in the face of a truly strong army.

Song Jiang sat in the main seat and asked Wu Yong, a military advisor who defected to him,: "Military advisor, what do you think we should do?"

Wu Yong saw that Song Jiang had the intention of accepting Sun Jian's persuasion to surrender, but he wanted to go to the next level: "The brothers gathered in this Juyi Hall from all directions to make a living. In my opinion, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, was brave and good at fighting, so it would be better to try to surrender to him for the time being. If Sun Jian is not good to any brother, we will rebel against him."

"It's this truth. I, Song Gongming, will not let any brother suffer a loss, nor will I let my brothers die in this battle."

Song Jiang spoke, and more than a dozen generals looked at each other, and in the end, the minority obeyed the majority and chose to recruit.

"I'm afraid that we can't drink and eat meat when we join Sun Jian, and kill people at will. How can we be a soldier be as happy as a water bandit?"

Li Kui is still dissatisfied.

However, Song Jiang did not have the idea of ​​being the leader of the water bandit for a long time or being independent. Facing the tigers in Jiangdong, accepting the ambush is undoubtedly a way out for Song Jiang.

The next day, Song Jiang led his military advisor Wu Yong and more than a dozen green forest heroes to surrender to Sun Jian.

On Sun Jian's boat, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son, Huan Wen and Liu Laozhi, had an invisible killing spirit, which made Song Jiang a little nervous.

If Sun Jian strikes an attack at this time, then Song Jiang and his group will all fall to the ground.

If this was the rule of the world, Sun Jian was the prefect of a country and would have killed Song Jiang and his group directly and asked the court for credit.

However, now it is a chaotic world, and even a group of bandits and reckless men have specific uses. Like the Yellow Turban General and the Tai Strike General, Sun Jian believes that Song Jiang and his group have value in exploitation.

Sun Jian's eyes swept across Song Jiang and his group.

Song Jiang currently has only a dozen generals, including a female general with two swords hanging around her waist, a general holding a double gun, and a general with a bow on her back.

Sun Jian was not interested in female generals. He valued more the generals holding guns and arches, and asked Song Jiang: "Who are these two generals?"

"Two guns will win Dong Ping!"

"Little Li Guanghua Rong!"

Two people reported their names.

Sun Jian was quite appreciating the force of the two people, so he assigned them to his own general. As for the others, they were still controlled by Song Jiang.

This is also one of the means used by Sun Jian to differentiate Song Jiang's forces.

If they want to leave the military generals with the highest force under Song Jiang, they will be divided into two groups and doubt each other.

Sure enough, Song Jiang's other military generals were dissatisfied with Dong Ping and Hua Rong.

Wu Yong and Song Jiang seemed to have noticed Sun Jian's intention, but since they had accepted the invitation, they could not resist in the face of the lord's mobilization.

"You command the troops and horses and follow me to attack Hefei."

"Song Jiang got the order."

After Song Jiang surrendered, Zhang Shun was commanded by the navy, commanding thousands of troops and following Sun Jian to act together.

Sun Jian did not expect the combat capability of the Liangshan Army, but he valued the military power of his generals and believed that it was useful.

In order to make contributions to Sun Jian and gain Sun Jian's trust, Song Jiang volunteered to send his scout Shi Qian to Hefei to inquire about information.

...

Hefei City, the city's guardians changed from Zang Ba to Zhang Liao, and the military advisor was Lu Su, and they belonged to the Huainan Defensive Legion.

The Huainan Defensive Corps is actually divided into three units, Hefei, Shouchun and Guangling, with a total force of up to 100,000. The defenders are Zhang Liao, Liu Fu and Chen Deng, who are all locals in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

A woman came to Hefei City.

Xueyue is currently responsible for collecting intelligence through Yi Ren. She has learned about the information from Jiangdong, so she came to Hefei to inform the general Zhang Liao to guard against the enemy troops from Jiangdong.

"Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, was the righteous brother of Yangzhou Mu Tongque. He was preparing troops in Chaisang, and went downstream to take Hefei. He asked the general to be on guard. If Hefei was lost, Shouchun would be in danger and Huainan would be in danger."

"As a laborious girl, they will not be able to cross Hefei as long as Zhang Wenyuan is in Hefei for a day."

Zhang Liao was the first time he was alone. This was Chu Tian’s test for him, and it was also out of trust in Zhang Liao that Zhang Liao led his troops alone.

As the front line, Hefei faces threats from Jiangdong, and in fact, the pressure is very great.

Chu Tian is not at ease with an ordinary defender, but if it is Zhang Liao, then Chu Tian is still quite at ease with him.

In Hefei, Zhang Liao is the master.

Xueyue also knew Zhang Liao's reputation and reminded Zhang Liao again: "Please rest assured General Zhang. The lord will mobilize two to three generals from the crowd in Hebei to Shouchun. If the battle situation on the front line is unfavorable, they will come to support immediately."

"If there are other reinforcements, the confidence to defend Hefei is 10% more."

Lu Su, who was a military advisor in Hefei, heard that Chu Tian would draw two or three generals from the generals attacking Hebei, and he was confident.

Lu Su followed Chu Tian for two or three years and had witnessed the national war that often cost hundreds of thousands of people. At this time, he was ordered to defend Hefei, which was nothing.

As the great governor of the Eastern Wu in history, Lu Su had to deal with Sun Jian and Sun Ce and his son...

After learning about the movements in Jiangdong in advance, Zhang Liao, Lu Su, Zang Ba and Sun Guan urgently strengthened the city defense in Hefei and trained their troops.

Hefei stationed 40,000 troops, including 2,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, who were the troops of Zhang Liao. After the battle in Yuzhou ended, he followed Zhang Liao to Shouchun using a teleportation array and then moved to Hefei.

The remaining more than 30,000 soldiers are county and state soldiers, ranging from first to third levels, and can be used to defend the city, but they lack some combat power when they go out of the city to fight in the field.

Therefore, Lu Su believes that defense should be the main focus.

In addition to strengthening the city defense and training troops, Lu Su moved the people outside the city to Hefei City to prevent the population from being plundered by the Jiangdong Army.

Population is also an important resource.

Sun Guan limped on the city wall, and all the soldiers respected him.

Although the Taishan bandits Zang Ba and Sun Guan were born into bandits, their status in Chutian's power is not low because they have made many contributions to the expansion of Chutian's power, and they were seriously injured, leaving hidden dangers.

They are also considered elders of Chu Tian's power, and they are now Generals.

Zang Ba, who had only one eye left, looked in the direction of Ruxushui and still faithfully guarded the gateway for Chutian: "In the attack of Jiangdong Army, most of them would come from Ruxushui and use ships to transport infantry, siege equipment, and food."

"Brother, our main force is in Hebei, with only a few generals guarding Hefei. Apart from Liu Fu and Chen Deng, there are no generals to adjust in Huainan. This time, it may be a hard battle."

Sun Guan walked over and his words were filled with worry.

It’s not that Sun Guan is timid, he is just explaining the basic fact that Hefei’s troops are indeed insufficient for defense.

"We brothers have gone through many fierce battles before we get to where we are now. This time, we have to sacrifice our lives again."

Zang Ba's eyes gradually became serious.
