Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 31
When Tai Shici came to Zhu Wei this time, he was only here to inform Zhu Wei, and then he himself planned to take people to Niuzhu camp to mobilize troops to cross the river and wait for the opportunity to attack Liyang.

Therefore, Tai Shici had already prepared luggage, weapons, bows and arrows, etc. outside the post hotel, and asked his companions to watch over them.

Now that Zhu Wei said he wanted to set off immediately, Taishi Ci could do it at any time.

And Zhu Wei heard Tai Shici said that he had already made preparations, so he felt at ease, but he saw that Tai Shici seemed to be looking at Wang Yuyan thoughtfully, and suddenly thought that Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan had just come to see him, but he didn't Know if they need to be prepared.

So Zhu Wei hurriedly said to Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan, "Then, Yu, Lan, you two, what else do you need to prepare for?"

"It's nothing, we two don't have any luggage. When we came to look for the lord, we also retreated to the guest room where we stayed yesterday. We came here to go to the lord!"

Wang Yuyan looked at Zhu Wei and smiled lightly, but she also comforted Zhu Wei. In fact, the two of them came to look for Zhu Wei in a hurry after getting some advice in a dream. They were also a little impatient, so they just packed some luggage and came.

This time the two of them came to look for Zhu Wei. Although Wang Yuyan still had some thoughts, under the hint of the system, the two of them were ready to follow Zhu Wei.

Therefore, the luggage carried by the two of them has already been placed in the concierge of the post hotel, and now they can leave at any time.

Zhu Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered Pang Yan to pack their luggage, and then asked the manager of the post hotel to ask for some strong horses in Liu Yao's name.

After everything was ready, Zhu Wei took Pang Yan, Wang Yuyan, Mu Lan, together with Tai Shici and another young bow rider who seemed to be 23 or [-] years old, and left Danyang City for Liu Yao's Niuzhu Camp.

Along the way, Zhu Wei looked at the young bow rider following Tai Shici, and curiously asked Tai Shici his name.

Under Tai Shici's introduction, this young archer was indeed Tai Shici's Donglai fellow Ma Zhong, who was also the young Qu'a general.

This really relieved Zhu Wei's doubts, so Zhu Wei couldn't help but praise Ma Zhong for following Tai Shi Ci and fighting Sun Ce and more than ten generals at Qu'a Shenting.

But Ma Zhong seems to be a very introverted person, he doesn't like to talk too much, he just smiled lightly when he heard Zhu Wei's words, and then said casually, he didn't do anything, at that time it was actually Sun Ce and Tai Shici In a one-on-one fight, the generals Sun Ce brought didn't make a move.

On the other hand, Taishi Ci said a few words for Ma Zhong. Ma Zhong was naturally good at shooting. His arrow shooting skills on flat ground were even a bit more accurate than Taishi Ci's. However, Ma Zhong's strength was a little weaker, so he could only shoot. The two-stone bow is somewhat inferior to Taishi Ci in this regard.

These words made Ma Zhong even more shy. He just held the two stone bows on his back tightly, lowered his head and followed Tai Shici on his horse.

Zhu Wei looked at Ma Zhong's posture and felt that he had an autistic feeling. No wonder in history, he followed Taishi Ci in the battle at Shenting, and was only called Qu'a, but he didn't even have a name. It can be transmitted.

Of course, only with his temperament can he hide his existence. When he shoots a cold arrow, he is not easy to be noticed. If he shoots Huang Zhong, who is a good archer, he can capture the defeated one with all his strength. Guan Yu of Maicheng.

But with Ma Zhong's temper, it's not easy for Zhu Wei to talk to him. Obviously, Ma Zhong can only communicate with the familiar Tai Shici, and he still doesn't mean to talk to strangers like Zhu Wei.

However, Zhu Wei believed that with Ma Zhong's temperament, if Tai Shici really followed him, he would definitely follow him.

Moreover, with Ma Zhong's temperament, he should also be loyal to the end, so there is no need to worry that he will have other rebellious intentions, but his role seems to be to shoot cold arrows on the battlefield and order him to do some things with clear instructions. thing.

So on the way, Zhu Wei was just chatting with Tai Shici, trying to get closer to him.

There is no more gossip along the way.

However, the horses that Zhu Wei and the others rode were only Du horses, and even the mounts of Taishi Ci and Ma Zhong were not good horses. Therefore, it took the group more than two hours to arrive at Liu Yao's Niuzhu University. camp.

The Niuzhu camp was built on a hill called Niuzhuji on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The northern part of Niuzhuji protrudes into the Yangtze River, like a natural pier on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

The scale of Niuzhu Camp is not small. It can be regarded as a military defense fort built on the hill near the south bank of the Yangtze River.

The place where Niuzhuji is located is also a strategic location of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and the terrain is very dangerous.

Here we must also talk about Liu Yao's Jiangdong defense line.

Since Liu Yao became the Mu of Yangzhou, he has faced one of the biggest problems when he came to Yangzhou, which was the eager eye of Yuan Shu in Huainan.

In the beginning, he was oppressed by Yuan Shu, and he didn't even have a place to rest. With the support of Wu Jing and Sun Ben, he gained a foothold in Qu'a.

But now, Liu Yao can have such territory and power, which shows that he is not as useless as many people think.

At least Liu Yao came to Jiangdong almost alone like Liu Biao went to Jingzhou, and then under the threat of Yuan Shu, he took control of the real power in Jiangdong and had tens of thousands of soldiers.

So Liu Yao may not have any big ambitions, but at least he has the heart to guard his territory.

In order to counter Yuan Shu's threat to Jiangdong, Liu Yao deployed a triangular defense front in the direction of the Yangtze River facing Yuan Shu.

The front two corners of this triangular defensive front are the Yangtze River Ferry at Dangli and Hengjiang guarded by Zhang Ying and Fan Neng, and the rear corner is Qu'adanyang City, the rear area where Liu Yao personally sits.

This is not an ordinary division of troops. In fact, these three locations are interconnected and form a solid triangular front.

Especially the Dangli and Hengjiang ferry crossings on the north bank of the Yangtze River are like tentacles protruding on the north bank of the Yangtze River. If Yuan Shu's army attacks, these two ferry crossings can naturally hold off for a while.

And Liu Yao also had time to respond. He could lead his troops up and defend the south bank of the Yangtze River.

In this way, the Niuzhu camp is at the core of the triangular front, and it is also Liu Yao's military base camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Liu Yao hoarded most of his weapons, food and grass in the Niuzhu camp. If there was a war, he only needed to bring the army to the Niuzhu camp, and it would be a frontier base with food and soldiers, and he could directly send troops to fight.

This eliminates the need for Liu Yao to deploy food and grass from the rear, and can fight Yuan Shu as quickly as possible.

In fact, Liu Yao used this triangular formation to resist Yuan Shu's many invasions before. Even if Yuan Shu had Liyang as a forward position, he could not capture the two crossings of Dangli and Hengjiang.

This is the military support that Liu Yao and Yuan Shu have been able to confront each other for many years...
