The Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan nodded.

Zhou Yu began to take out the blueprints drawn by the scouts on the sky, compared them, pointed to them, and said, "It's not right here, it should be a protruding corner, and it's not right here, it's a cliff near the sea, it can't be used as a port sign , here... here..."

It took about half an hour before the two men compared the terrain of Yizhou around the seaside one by one. Zhou Yu pointed to the southwest corner of Yizhou, a piece of sea not far away, and said, "Our soldiers discovered the landform here. They have inspected a few small islands, and there are no people on the island, but they should be used as a transit base for the navy."

"here?"

Sun Quan squinted his eyes, took a look, and immediately knew that this was the Penghu of later generations, and it was also the first barrier for later generations to defend the mainland.

"Row!"

Sun Quan nodded, and said after a while: "By the way, I called you here. There is one more important thing. Brother Gongjin, we have established our foothold now, so it is time to open the waterway from Dongzhi to Yizhou. If you want to bring Yizhou into Jiangdong's command, you must have a safe waterway, a safe waterway, at least ten times of safe back and forth, can be used as a safe waterway!"

"Someone thought so too."

Zhou Yu nodded, looking a little cautious, and said: "There is no need for so many people to return. Yizhou now has [-] warriors, and I will leave another [-] sailors for the two of you brothers to control. [-] troops should be I can control Yizhou, and then sail back with [-] soldiers, the Tiger, five battleships, and fifty warships, and go back to find out the passage of this section.”

The charts were spread out one after another, and the two began to study the charts from Dongzhi to Yizhou. It was not a success to go to sea for the first time, after all, they deviated from the channel and went too far.

"Okay, I have to trouble you this time. When are you going to leave?" The two of them discussed for a while, and Sun Quan also knew that Zhou Yu had been in command since they went to sea, and he was the only one who was the most suitable.

"Tomorrow!"

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, and said: "It's better to hurry up and tell the General's Mansion everything here, otherwise Lord Hou will be worried, and we also need to quickly transport a group of people to replenish and develop this place, otherwise the aborigines here will all be killed." More than us, we can’t control it, and most importantly, we don’t have enough food.”

"Ok!"

Sun Quan nodded and said, "You are still thoughtful, but the wind and waves are rough at sea, so be careful, direction is the most important thing."

"Don't worry, I've gone through it once, I have experience, as long as you are careful, if you are lucky, you should not get lost at sea again."

The success of going to sea this time gave Zhou Yu more confidence.

"By the way, there is one thing I forgot to mention. We have been exploring around the island for the past few days. Most of them have no traces of people. Only here, and the southwest side of the island, we found traces of people, and they are quite lively. There are a lot of people."

Zhou Yu pointed to a direction of the sand table and said in a low voice.

"It's not surprising that once we send troops to the north of Yizhou, we can easily wipe it out. The resistance is not strong, but I suspect that the people in this area are the most concentrated places in Yizhou." Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, Looking at the direction Zhou Yu was pointing at, he said, "The next step is to land from the south, attack from both sides, and use the fastest speed to take down Yizhou."

"As long as you know what's in your mind."

Zhou Yu nodded. Sun Quan believed in him, and he naturally believed in Sun Quan. He didn't say anything, and walked on quickly, and began to prepare for the return of the fleet. Only when the return was successful, they would be considered to have completed this exploration.

………………

In the fourth year of Chuping, in the first ten days of April, the weather became clearer.

Zhou Yu had already led the fleet back, while Sun Ce continued to lead the tigers under the chariot, divided the tigers under the chariot into groups of scouts, and then began to explore the central area of ​​Yizhou, searching for people, but found no one. let go.

Sun Quan is supervising the progress of Dongyue City. This is the first city after the Jiangdong Army landed, and it is also the bridgehead for the Jiangdong Army to enter Yizhou.

This city is not too big, about half the size of Wu County. The city wall is built with an unknown but hard blue-black stone not far from the local area.

The governor is a Jiangdong craftsman named Fang Mu, about [-] years old, short in stature, with superb eyesight, he has read books, has research on the theory of Mohism, and is capable. boss.

"My lord, there are small hills on both sides of this place. This city is in the middle. We need to be eager for success. In order to speed up the delivery, we will build a city wall of up to three meters and a width of one meter. Two city gates, and then we opened up two cities in the north and south in the city, here is..."

Fang Mu can be regarded as a senior craftsman, but he has no experience in building cities. He just tried his hand at Zhoushan once. This time, he is even more excited about this opportunity, and he is bound to do his best.

"You are familiar with this matter, you can arrange it. I believe you, but the drainage in the city needs to be done well." Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, and he was a little proud to see nearly [-] people building this city in full swing.

"promise!"

Fang Mu nodded.

"My lord, the eldest lord has led the tiger warriors back, and he told you to go back to the command room immediately!" Suddenly, Xu Sheng, who was supervising the work, received a message and hurried up, reporting nervously.

The tiger soldiers under the car were handed over to Commander Sun Ce, and Xu Sheng, a fierce general, stayed behind, leading thousands of sailors, supervising the construction of Dongyue City, and suppressing the Yizhou natives who were captured by Sun Ce.

Although these people were fairly safe, Sun Quan would still be a little worried if Xu Sheng didn't stay, and Sun Ce had two generals, Pan Zhang and Lei Ding, enough.

"You're so panicked, what's the matter?"

Startled, Sun Quan turned around hastily, and asked questions as he walked.

"There are several scout teams under our car. When we were searching, they were attacked by the local aborigines. There were many casualties, hundreds of people were injured, and a dozen died?" Xu Sheng said hastily.

"what?"

Sun Quan was taken aback. Since the landing, it went so smoothly without any casualties. He was about to stand firm. The sudden casualties made him a little overwhelmed.

Returning to this temporary wooden house, a temporary wounded barracks was opened in front of the door. Under the treatment of the medical officer, hundreds of people mourned, and many wounded were bandaged. His complexion and gaze were deadly.

"Brother, what's going on?" Sun Quan asked anxiously.

"Our scout team was attacked by savages in the mountain." Sun Ce looked up, looked at Sun Quan, sighed, and said coldly: "Damn it, there are too many traps in the mountain, those savages in animal skins , Coming and going like the wind, we disappeared before we could react."

Facing these guerrillas, even if he has great strength, he can still hit the cotton with one punch.

Hearing this, Sun Quan strode into the wooden house immediately, pointed to the east of the sand table, and asked, "Where did you encounter the attack? The location, mark the location for me."

The terrain of Yizhou is mostly plains and hills in the west, but mountainous in the east. It is not surprising to encounter attacks in the mountains.

"here!"

Sun Ce walked in right after him, pointed at a location on the east side of the central part of Yizhou facing the sand table, and said, "We have been here for the past few days. I heard that there are people on these buildings. They just came here after exploring, and they are already close to here." South of Yizhou."

"Do you know who attacked you?" Sun Quan continued to ask with a flash of his eyes.

"They are similar in shape and face to ours. They wear animal skins and look a bit like Shanyue people. We can understand a few words they said, and they should also come from the Central Plains." Sun Ce pondered for a moment before saying.

"Son!"

At this time, a naval captain hurried in, looked at Sun Quan, bowed his hands respectfully, and then hurriedly said: "My lord, the two fleets A and B have already landed on the small island of Yizhou, but the two fleets of C and D have landed in Yizhou." When they landed in the southwest direction, they were expelled by nearly [-] young and strong local people. They used wooden arrows, wooden guns, and stone axes, but they were very sturdy. We were invincible. superior."

"Good guy, I just jumped out at this time. It really can't be smooth sailing. It seems that our troubles have arisen. Come here." Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, shouted, and said, "Come here, bring me Min!"

"promise!"

A soldier soon brought in a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was 40 years old and in his prime. He was the head of the only small town in the north of Yizhou. There were hundreds of soldiers under his command, but soon So Sun Ce was scared to surrender.

His surname is the surname of the clan of the Yue State, surnamed Si, and his name is somewhat in the style of the Warring States Period, one word, Min.

"Min, who is this place?" Sun Quan squinted, pointing at the map, and asked in a cold voice.

"Here? This should be a mountainous area. If I remember correctly, there should be someone from the Gaoshan tribe."

Facing the rigorous military appearance of the Jiangdong Army, and the elite iron weapons, swords, spears, and spears, Min has no desire to resist. Since Sun Ce, he has completely surrendered to Sun Quan.
