There is only Chaohu Navy in Luzhou. Where did the navy come from that block Beiguan?

Jinling Navy?

Huo Bao was very puzzled.

The two places are not far apart, but one belongs to Huainan Road and the other belongs to Changjiang East Road.

The dispatch of troops is complicated.

Huo Bao directly asked his father: "Dad, is there no news from Jinling?"

The Jinling Navy had only 8,000 people in total, and dispatched thousands of soldiers and ships. What a big deal.

It is impossible to completely avoid people.

Huo Wu frowned when he heard this.

According to An Yong, the Jinling Navy blocked outside the Beiguan, which bordered the Yuxi River and Chaohu Lake yesterday.

From Beiguan, you can take the Yuxi River to the Yangtze River estuary, and take more than 60 miles of water routes from Yuxikou to Jinling.

The Jinling Navy will leave Jinling at the latest four days ago.

That way, news should have been coming.

Huo Wu realized something was wrong and hurriedly invited An Yong and Mr. Lin to come over.

"General An, is the Chen ship outside the Beiguan the Jinling Navy? Did he call the number?"

An Yong was stunned: "There was no number, but the ship was coming from the imperial naval army. It was not the Jinling naval army? It could not be the Anqing naval army, which is six hundred miles away from Chaohu."

"Last year, the Tong Cultivator rebelled... Didn't anyone send south to see a few generals?"

Speaking of the origin, Chaohu Navy's main force, Yu, Sheng and An, are all Maitreya religious believers.

But I was recruited early and became an officer and soldier.

An Yong frowned and said, "No one came down last year. In the first month of this year, the right guardian of the Tong leader, Shoutian, led thousands of Henan Baishan to go south and passed by Chaohu. He had seen Yu Dutong, General Sheng, and our brothers, lobbying the Chaohu Navy to join the Baishan Army and go to Jiangnan to start a crime... Yu Dutong discussed with us that he did not want to leave his hometown, so he gave him two boxes of silver and twenty carts of food to him and sent them across the river..."

They thought about their origins and how incense they had with Maitreya Buddhism, so they gave them things and food, so that they could pass through the border.

Huo Wu thought about the news that he had only learned, and sighed: "I'm afraid that it's the Anqing Navy who came... The Shou Guardian was in Qishui in May and had already captured East Hubei. He had more than 100,000 troops. He proclaimed himself emperor in Qichun in July, and his country was called "Daqing". The troops were divided into two groups, one to conquer the east and one to conquer the south... Calculate the time, it's time to finish the battle of Anqing...

An Yong understood and gritted his teeth and said, "It must be the bastard Sheng Shuangdao who secretly threw Shoutian Wan. He was the one who sent Shoutian Wan across the river!"

Master Lin frowned for a while and said, "Fifth Master, Luzhou officers and soldiers are not right. I am afraid that someone inside is taking advantage of the troubled waters. He will cooperate with Sheng Shuangdao after he surrenders to Daqing. General Deng and others do not need to go to Yuxi River, but go directly north to Luyang..."

"I followed General An and asked General Yu to send troops from Feishui to advance along with our water routes, and first took Luyang. Luzhou Guancang was in Luyang, cut off the supply of 40,000 Luzhou troops, and then it would be destroyed by land. Thousands of navy soldiers blocked in Beiguan... The fifth master could immediately send troops to Binjiang and Hezhou counties, raise merchant ships along the river, and ask the brothers of Chaohu Navy to come out and carry ships and go north from the estuary of the Yangtze River. At that time, they can cooperate inside and outside and encircle these thousands of people..."

Luyang is the capital of Luzhou Prefecture, north of Chaohu Lake, connected to the middle of Chaohu Lake.

Huo Wu was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed to Master Xie and said, "However, Lao Huo had no brainstorms before. He just wanted to go there as soon as possible and make a strong voice. When all the people gathered to help the brothers of the navy, he suddenly realized that it was all Mr. Li!"

Master Lin sideways and avoids it: "Fifth Master, don't be too polite. It's my duty, but the fifth Master is careful. Just listening to General An's words, he speculated that the imperial navy was strange..."

"Haha! It's Xiaobao's careful... Thinking of thousands of navy and hundreds of warships, if they come from Jinling and whistle by, we will definitely get news. There is no news, isn't it wrong? Xiaobao's way, Mr. Lai teaches you well."

Huo Wu did not hide his son's contribution and said with some pride.

Master Lin touched his beard and said to Huo Bao: "Luzhou's three mountains, three rivers, three parts of fields, and the Huaixi granary is located... You go with General Deng, and you can take a closer look at the scenery of Luzhou, and how is it different from Hezhou and Chuzhou!

"Yes, sir!"

Huo Bao accepted the student etiquette and responded respectfully.

An Yong saw it and couldn't help but look up to Master Lin again.

This old man is not only the leader of Marshal Huo, but also the commander of the little Marshal.

No wonder he was able to recruit Chaohu Navy on Chuzhou.

Deputy General Yu was friends with this man, and Chaohu Navy was not alone and helpless when he was thrown over. In the future, he could also support him under the command of Marshal Huo.

...

Shuijin was just outside the city. After getting the news, he came back quickly.

By Shen Chu, several Chuzhou troops, as the vanguard, were completed.

Deng Jian's troops had 7,000 troops, 3,000 troops in the Navy troops, and 2,000 children's soldiers, totaling 12,000 troops.

The siege equipment that Deng Jian had prepared outside Hezhou City before was also brought with him this time.

There were about 300 vehicles accompanying the convoy, and in addition to these siege equipment, there were also 100 baggage, 100 crossbows, and two gun cars.

As soon as the military force appeared, An Yong was in a state of great excitement.

Such a team and such a military force, why not be afraid of the Luzhou soldiers drawn together by the six counties?

Is this just a pioneer?

"Ship Huo, how many people will come over in the future?" he couldn't help asking.

Huo Wu calculated in his heart and said, "The four counties of Chuzhou, Binjiang, Hezhou, and six places can send troops, which can draw about 30,000 people!"

All the children's camps in Chuzhou were out, and there were only five thousand.

The leader of the Ma Village can come out with three thousand.

The Binjiang New Army Camp can produce three thousand.

Tang Guang and Du Laoba each have three thousand.

Monk Feng is 4,000.

Huo Wu had two thousand in his hands.

This adds up to 20,000.

However, Huo Bao thought of sending troops from another place, and the number of people should not be shortened, and Huo Wu had thought of it a long time ago.

When he sent someone to order, he ordered Monk Feng, Tang Guang and the Eight Generals of Du Laoba to bring all the soldiers of the three counties who had surrendered before.

Even here, Deng Jian asked him to send someone to Quyang and transfer one thousand five Quyang soldiers to stay in Hezhou.

He planned to take all of these four thousand Hezhou soldiers to Chaohu.

In this way, the subsequent troops to Luzhou will be 27,000, and 30,000 will be no shortage.

An Yong was indeed more at ease.

He wanted to take one step first and send a letter to Chaohu Navy.

Looking at Master Lin’s gray hair, he hesitated a little: “Why should Mr. Lin change the car?”

Master Lin turned over and said, "Don't worry, General An, it's only a hundred miles away, I can still bear it."

Huo Wuming Niu Qing brought 50 warriors in the military camp to protect Master Lin from traveling.

Master Lin went to Chaohu Shuizhai this time and was an envoy of Chuzhou, so he always had to show off his identity and momentum.

These fifty personal guards are just face.

An Yong did not say much, said goodbye to Huo Wu and others, turned over and hurried away with a few followers and Master Lin.

Seeing An Yong and his party leaving, Huo Wucai instructed Deng Jian: "This time I went to Luyang to cut off the military food and grass in Luzhou. As long as I surrounded it, I would make a contribution. If I could, I would fight, and if I couldn't fight, I wouldn't force it."

Deng Jian was speechless. Who was trying to take down Luyang in front of An Yong before?

The Chaohu Navy has been transferred out, can Luyang be beaten or not?

It’s just because I’m worried about my son, so I’m so nagging.

He was silent for a while and said, "Don't worry, Xiaobao won't lose half of his hair!"

Huo Wu laughed loudly and said, "Ban Zi is also a child. With you here, I won't worry about this!"

Huo Wu said to Shui Jin again: "Learn from your Uncle Deng more. If you learn well, you will be the only one as soon as possible."

Shui Jin was also silent.

Because he had a peer relationship with Tu San, he also had a peer relationship with Deng Jian, Ma Village Master and others.

Only Huo Bao is the exception, and the two brothers are in line.

But he was a wise man and knew that Huo Wu's move was for his own good.

He was a little less than the generals, and it was a good thing to bear the younger generation.

"Yes, I must study hard with Uncle Deng."

Shui Jin said sincerely on his face.

Deng Jian glanced at Shuijin and nodded slightly, as if he had recognized this matter.

Huo Wu gave Ma Juzi and Huo Hu two more words before looking at Huo Bao, but he just patted his son on the shoulder.

I have already said what I should say in private.

With Deng Jian here and water coming in, Luzhou is approaching, which is much more worry-free than going back to Bozhou.

...

Ten thousand and two horses left Hezhou in a mighty manner and headed towards Hanshan County.
