The remaining water flows quietly here, from south to north, straight into Poyang Lake. Since the Qin Dynasty, this place has been called Yugan County, which is regarded as the main stream of the remaining water. By the time of Soochow, Yugan County
It was also named Yuhan County. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty, the population here has gradually increased. There are thousands of households, which is equivalent to the size of a medium-sized county in Wudi, Yangzhou. The successive years of disputes between Jingyang and Yangzhou, especially recently
During the Tianshi Dao Rebellion, a large number of households from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River moved here to avoid the war. Yushui became a waterway connecting the Poyang Lake area and Wuling, making this place like Nankang.
It becomes the throat where north and south intersect.
It's just that Yugan County, which used to be densely populated, is now within a hundred miles, with almost ten houses and nine empty houses. The recent battle in Zuoli has caused people to flee again in this place that has not experienced war for a long time, especially now that the residents are stationed there.
A temporary military camp was built on the edge of Yushui. No flags were raised, but the people of Yugan County who had been frightened by the military disaster had long since fled, and no one dared to approach it easily.
In this temporary military camp, the camp was full of wounded soldiers. There were screams and wailing everywhere, and everyone was cursing and walking back and forth. It was obvious that this was an army that had just suffered a defeat. From the fact that these sergeants were wearing leather armor,
, looking at the attire of Daoist buns, this is an army of Tianshi Dao. Just a month ago, they could still be domineering and majestic with this attire, but now, they are a completely defeated army.
, military discipline is also completely gone.
On one side of the camp, on top of an arrow tower, Lu Xun was wearing a sky-blue robe, holding a fly whisk in his hand, his brows furrowed, and beside him stood a man dressed like a country woodcutter, wearing an evil
He was wearing a black robe with a ghost mask, and the nearest guard was a hundred steps away from the arrow tower. It was impossible for anyone to hear any conversation between the two of them.
Lu Xun's Taoist robe is also covered with dust. In the past, it was bright and bright, like the cotton fabric of clouds. It has become dull and dull, and even has a few holes. This was unimaginable in the past. The black robe
After taking one look at his robe, he sighed softly: "Unexpectedly, Master Lu has fallen into such a miserable state."
Lu Xun curled his lips, gently brushed the dust on his body with a whisk, and said calmly: "There have been times when I was more miserable than this before. When Liu Yu chased us into the sea in Wu Di, I couldn't help but
He didn't have any robes to wear, only leather armor. After fighting for several months, his armor was infested with fleas. He didn't have time to bathe or comb his beard and hair for several months. His hair was disheveled like a savage. Such difficult years were all gone.
I survived it, now it’s nothing.”
The black robe smiled slightly: "It's a good thing that you still have such an optimistic mood now. Yuanlong (Lu Xun's word), do you know why I suggested that you split up with Xu Daofu and go back to Yugan instead of Nankang?
What about Lingnan?”
Lu Xun frowned slightly: "I can't understand your suggestion now. If we take the Yugan route, there are very few households. It will be difficult for us to supply supplies along the way."
At this point, Lu Xun pointed to a group of more than a hundred people outside the east gate, who were dragging their weapons back dejectedly, and said: "Look, these people who went out to collect food came back empty-handed. If this happens again,
If we travel a hundred miles without supplies, we will run out of food."
The black robe said calmly: "But you still listen to me and take your own troops and general altar guards to go south along the Yushui. However, Xu Daofu insists on going to Nankang. He means that the Nankang soldiers
The Ma Zai Jiangzhou Army fought him to the death in Leichi this time, which prevented him from breaking through the Jin army's front line of defense, so this time he is going to come back for revenge and bloodbath Nankang, right?"
Lu Xun sneered and said: "This is just his reason and excuse. On the one hand, Nankang has a well-established household registration and is a big city. He can loot and loot along the way to obtain supplies. On the other hand, Nankang can directly enter from Wuling."
Shixing, that is his hometown, and he has been in business for many years. He is reluctant to give up Shixing and go directly to Guangzhou. Moreover, as a general, he was defeated in two consecutive battles, and he is also afraid that I will punish him, just like when Sun En was defeated by Huo.
Just like that, I annexed him. After all, my power is much greater than his in Lingnan, especially in Guangzhou."
The black robe nodded: "Yes, until now, he still has the idea of connecting all the barbarians in Lingnan, occupying Wuling, and guarding Shixing to stop the Jin army. He doesn't want to go to Guangzhou to join you, let alone go to the sea to wander again. You
We had a big quarrel with him when we were in Zuoli. He said that at worst he could lead his army to Jiaozhou and Linyi, and wait until the Jin army left before fighting back to Guangzhou, but you wanted to simply go to sea and berth, right?"
Lu Xun sighed: "To be honest, these two battles made me feel discouraged. Whether it was a land battle or a water battle, we were completely defeated by Liu Yu. Now, Liu Yu is personally leading the pursuit.
If we hadn't listened to you and asked the newly attached troops to collect their money and disperse, Liu Yu would now divide his forces to pursue these people in various places, instead of pursuing us directly in the direction of Guangzhou. I'm afraid that it would be difficult for us to come from the left.
Escape."
The black robe smiled slightly: "You and Xu Daofu sent a substitute to break out elsewhere with your general's flag. This attracted Liu Yu's attention. However, it will only be attracted for a month and a half at most. Once your substitute is discovered,
If it is false, then Liu Yu will definitely lead his army to hunt you down again. This precious half month is the time for you to make a decision, whether to escape by land to Jiaozhou, or to defend Shixing, or to board a ship and go to sea. If you choose
It's too late, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to escape."
Lu Xun frowned: "I think we should first let Xu Daofu defend Shixing and block Liu Yu's attack. Shixing is a fortified city after all. Xu Daofu has been operating it for many years, and the scorching heat and miasma in Lingnan are natural barriers.
Liu Yu's troops can fight land and water battles, but can they really defeat the acclimatization of God? I want to try again."
Heipao said calmly: "I suggest that you don't risk your life, sail out to sea, and get to the place where Liu Yu can't catch you early. That's the right way. I let you take this road of Yu Shui, although along the way
The villagers have fled, and you cannot get normal supplies, but I have prepared a secret base that can supply your army with food and grass until Guangzhou. After all, you don't have to go to Shixing, go to Guangzhou first, and then talk about the future.
"
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "That's the only way it can be. My Lord, I didn't overthrow the Jin Dynasty this time, enter Jiankang, help the Divine Religion achieve its great cause, and help the Divine Alliance achieve its success. I'm disappointed, but please believe me."
We, Liu Yu, cannot stay in Lingnan for a long time. We still have a chance. Whether we go to sea or fight guerrillas on land, as long as we can survive, there will be a day when we can fight back against Liu Yu. At least I will definitely be loyal to the Shenmeng.
, there will never be a second thought.” (End of this chapter)
