The terrain of Jiangxia is indeed very complex. The Han River is in the north and the Yangtze River is in the south. The Han River flows from northwest to southeast, and meets the Yangtze River at Xiakou.

Between the Han River and the Yangtze River is Yunmengze, which is a thousand miles apart. Together with the Yangtze River and Han River, it forms an irregular partition area. The core part of Jiangxia County is located on the other side of this partition, including Xiakou, Wuchang and Chaisangzuo City, as well as several small counties.

Perhaps some people would suggest that they can head east along the south bank of the Yangtze River. In fact, the south bank of the Yangtze River is full of southern hilly areas, with vast and virgin forests distributed with mountains and mountains, which are not feasible. There are only cities by the riverside, and you must also travel through the Yangtze River.

The only hope is the Qianli Yunmengze. It began to shrink and dry up during the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was no longer a water siege that was connected. There were hills and mountains in the middle, dense forests, and some fishing villages that relied on Yunmengze for their living.

Yu Jin's news was not wrong. There were indeed a large number of refugees who crossed Yunmengze and fled from Lu to Jiangxia. Of course, in the end they still had to cross the river to the south.

Two days later, Yu Jin and Zang Ba led 5,000 troops to Huarong County. At this time, Huarong County was almost an empty city, with only a few old and weak left in the city.

The Cao army and his army were already exhausted. They went to the city to make pots and cook rice and snatched houses to rest. Yu Jinze and Zang Ba stood on the top of the city to discuss and investigate the matter of seizing Jingling County.

"Since the Prime Minister's opinion, there are Jiangxia troops intercepting warships on the Han River near Jingling County. I suspect that there are Jiangxia troops in Jingling County, otherwise the Prime Minister would not give us five thousand troops."

Yu Jin seemed a little worried. He was defeated repeatedly by the Jiangxia army and had an instinctive fear of the Jiangxia army. His original intention was not to go to Jingling County. He said: "It is said that Jingling County is the largest tincture oil production place of the Jiangxia army. Of course, they will send heavy troops to guard such important military materials. I am worried that our efforts to seize Jingling County will affect the exploration of major plans. Xuangao, what do you think?"

Zang Ba did not fight many times with the Jiangxia army, and he was attacked by cavalry at night. He was not convinced for a long time, and he even looked forward to another battle with the Jiangxia army.

But Zang Ba also understood Yu Jin's meaning at this time. He pondered for a moment: "It is better to send a scout to explore the situation of Jingling County first. If there are not many troops stationed, you can seize Jingling County first. If there are really heavy troops to guard it, then slow down. However, if the road to Jiangxia must pass through Jingling County, it would be a different matter."

"Of course" Yu Jin heard that Zang Ba agreed with him, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

At this time, more than a dozen soldiers came with two old men, "Report to General Zang, these two old men knew the way to Jiangxia."

The two old men were so scared that they knelt down, "Small people meet the two generals."

Yu Jin and Zang Ba looked at each other and were overjoyed. Yu Jin hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, get up and say slowly, I will not only not make things difficult for you, but also give you a heavy reward."

"General Xie"

The two old men stood up, one of them said, "There are two main roads to Jiangxia through Yunmengze. One is Jingling Road. You need to walk along the south bank of the Han River. The road is relatively flat, but the road is farther. Finally, you can reach Luokou Town. The other side is Jiangkou, close to the west of Xiakou."

"Where is another way?" Zang Ba asked impatiently.

"The other road is called Huarong Road, which means walking straight from our Huarong County. This road has to pass through a hilly area. The road is slightly narrow and it is a little difficult to walk. Finally, it arrives at Wulin Town on the Yangtze River. The other side is Chibi Town."

Yu Jin pondered for a while and asked: "Which one is closer?"

"Of course it's Huarong Road, which is at least two miles away, but most merchants are willing to walk on Jingling Road. Because of their good luck, they can take a boat to Xiakou. Moreover, there are many beasts on Huarong Road, so hunters must be hired to travel with them, which is a bit unprofitable."

Yu Jin pulled Zang Ba aside and whispered: "Do you think it's necessary to go to Jingling County?"

Zang Ba was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid the Prime Minister will not explain it."

Yu Jin was also a little embarrassed. He thought for a while and said, "Drive first and drive a little wider, and then ask the Prime Minister to inquire whether to attack Jingling County. If you really can't escape, then fight."

Zang Ba sighed, and that's all he could do.

...........

The appearance of Yunmengze is a huge antler, composed of two large long-shaped water saps. One is located south of Huarong County and east of Jiangling, and is connected to the Yangtze River, making it impossible for Jiangling to go east along the Yangtze River from land to east; the other water sap is in the east, extending from the Yangtze River to north through the Han River and all the way to Yunyang County.

Walking east from Huarong County, there is a land between two water sieves. This is a low hilly area, spanning Yuli, the mountains are not high, only dozens of feet, but they are continuous and covered by vast and virgin forests. From this we can see that the south of the country's era is far from being developed.

Yu Jin and Zang Ba led 5,000 troops, and as soon as they opened the wasteland, they walked eastward. Two days later, the troops arrived in front of a big river. The river was twenty meters wide, clear and green, and the water flowed calmly. You could occasionally see a small fishing boat full of osprey sailing northward. Outside the south was a dilapidated bridge.

His eyes crossed the river bank and saw that half of the water sieve and half of the land opposite the river were. At this time, Yu Jin seemed to have thought of something. He urged his horse to go towards the small bridge, ran over the small bridge for a moment, and slowly came to the side of the water sieve.

It is midsummer and it often rains, which makes the water in the water particularly abundant, and it is boundless.

At this time, Zang Ba led dozens of people to rush the horse to come and asked loudly from afar: "So, what did you find?"

Yu Ban pointed to the water whip and replied loudly: "I'm wondering whether this water waxing leads to the Yangtze River?"

Zang Ba was not aware of it, so he turned around and looked at the old man who shook his head, "I haven't walked, I don't know."

At this time, Yu Jin ordered the cavalry on both sides and said, "Catch the fishing boat just now."

The cavalry urged the horses to run north. At this time, Yu Jin pointed to the river in front and asked the old man, "You should know what kind of river this is."

"You reported to General Qi, this is Xia Water, also known as Mian Water, which flows from the Han River and flows to Jiangling in the southwest."

Yu Jin was very happy, "Does this river lead to Jiangling?"

"But the road is a little far, and I don't know the specifics. I must ask the fisherman, I am a hunter, and I am only familiar with Lu."

At this time, the fisherman just now came back from the ship under the threat of Cao's soldiers with crossbow arrows and was forced to go ashore.

This is an old fisherman in his fifties. He was frightened by Cao's soldiers. He knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Please spare the lives of the soldiers."

Yu Jin immediately leaned over and asked, "I can't kill people. Ask you some questions, you must answer me honestly."

"The villain dares not hide it"

Yu Jin asked Xia Shui first, "Is this river leading to Jiangling how big a ship is?"

"Report to the general that this river leads to Jiangjin, a small town next to Jiangling, but it has to be circled around a large circle, but the river channel is relatively wide and can travel a thousand stone ship."

Yu Jin was secretly happy, and pointed to the whip of the horse whip and asked again: "Does the shui lead to Wulin?"

The fisherman asked timidly: "May I ask General, which Wulin is it?"

"Is there two Wulins in nonsense?"

The old man next to him said, "There are indeed two Wulins. One is on the south side of the river, and the other is Puqi County, Changsha County, so it is called Puqi Wulin. The other is on the east side of the river, and the other is on the north side of the river. The other is Chibi Town, also called Chibi Wulin."

"Of course it's the Red Cliff Wulin." Yu Jin glared at the fisherman with some impatientness.

"You can take a boat to the shore of Wulin, which is only ten miles away from the shore of the Yangtze River."

Yu Jin could not control his excitement at first, and asked again: "Can you take a thousand stone ship?"

The fisherman shook his head quickly, "It is impossible. In winter, the water is very shallow, so I can only walk on small fishing boats. However, in spring and autumn, the water surface can be carried by stone passenger ships. Often, Han water passenger ships are approaching and go to Changsha County through the water.

In summer, the water volume is the largest. You can cross the water siege by five stones and reach the Chibi Wulin on the bank of the Yangtze River. However, the ship of Thousand Stones will definitely not work and will strand in the water siege."

Yu Jin looked into Shuize for a moment and continued to ask: "How far is this place from the Red Cliff Wulin?"

The fisherman said tremblingly: "It's probably more than two or sixty miles away."

At this time, Yu Jin had a bold plan in his mind, which could dig the summer water and water seeds, and transport food and supplies through the water. Five stone ships were enough.

Zang Ba next to him also asked immediately: "How far is this place from the Han River?"

"There are more than twenty miles left. There is a small town at the mouth of the Hanshui River, called Mianyang Town. The residents of the town make a living by fishing, and the little people's family is there."

Yu Jin urged the horse to approach Zang Ba and discussed with him: "I want to dig Xia Shui and Yunmeng Ze here so that Jiangling ships can directly reach the Red Cliff in Wulin. What do you think?"

"I have this intention, but it's better to take a boat to test it yourself and then go back to get the job."

Speaking of this, Zang Ba shouted loudly: "Do you have a five-stone ship in your town?"

"There are ships from wealthy families in the town."

Zang Ba looked at the sky and it was almost dusk. He said to the ban: "I will take my brother to grab the ship, and arrange for soldiers to dig the passage and strive to complete the construction tomorrow morning."

Yu Jin nodded, "I mean that, but it's better to collect all the ships, we will use them to build a floating bridge, and then let some brothers visit Jiangling on a boat."

Yu Jin and Zang Ba were both people who fought in the Central Plains and had no pity for the people. Zang Ba immediately said: "I will lead a thousand troops to snatch ships. If I don't give it to me, I will destroy their entire town."

The Tibetan Ba ​​immediately led a thousand soldiers to rush to Mianyang Town to the north.

Yu Jin pondered for a moment, waved his hand and called a military marquis and told him: "You should take the five brothers to continue walking on the land. You should go all the way to the Yangtze River in Wulin Town. You should also consider the camp of the 200,000 troops, explore it carefully, draw a detailed map for me, and include the terrain along the way."
