Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2066 Zhou Yu VS Fu Jian
Chapter 2064: Zhou Yu VS Fu Jian
Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, after three days of sailing, the fleet finally arrived at the coast of Liaodong County.

Zhou Yu did not let Xuanyuan land immediately, but sent ten small boats ashore to investigate. After ensuring that there were no traces of Manqing spies within a radius of [-] miles from the shore, he was completely relieved and let Gongsun Xuanyuan lead the army ashore.

The [-] elite army led by Xuanyuan, after three days of sea voyage, most of them vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables, and they all developed a deep fear of the sea.

When they heard that they were going to land, all the soldiers were ecstatic and escaped from the ship as if they were fleeing for their lives, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.

After landing, the condition of the army improved a lot, but there were still many people with sluggish footsteps and nausea, obviously they hadn't fully recovered yet.

And it's not just the soldiers, some warhorses also suffered from seasickness.

How can a war horse in such a state carry supplies?
How do soldiers in such a state march and fight?
Xuanyuan was very anxious after seeing this scene. He had expected that there would be seasickness among the soldiers after going out to sea, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people, and they didn't get better after going ashore.

Zhou Yu didn't seem surprised by this at all, and comforted him with a smile: "General Xuanyuan, this is a normal reaction. It only takes a day or two for the soldiers and horses to recover on their own."

Hearing this, Gongsun Xuanyuan felt relieved, the recovery time was only a day or two, and it had little impact on the overall plan.

Zhou Yu said again: "General Xuanyuan, next, the governor will lead the army to attack Liaoxi County. The day of landing is set to be two days later. At that time, the Qing army in Liaoxi will definitely come to encircle our army.

You must seize this opportunity and escape into Montenegro before then, so that you can safely return to Lulong. "

Gongsun Xuanyuan grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, Governor Zhou, Xuanyuan will definitely not let your hard work go to waste."

"Ah."

After all the supplies on the ship were moved, Zhou Yu led the water army back the same way, but his destination was not Beihai Village, but Liaoxi County.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or God's blessing.

When Zhou Yu came, the waters in western Liaoning were still stormy, but when they returned, it was sunny and sunny, which provided great convenience for the fleet to sail, and arrived at the destination, Chrysanthemum Island, one day ahead of schedule.

Liaoxi County is different from Liaodong County. Liaodong County is a large county in Youzhou, with a total of eleven counties under its jurisdiction, while Liaoxi County has only five counties in total. Like Youbeiping, they are all poor counties with vast land and sparse population.

The five counties in western Liaoning are Yangle, Linyu, Feiru, Haiyang and Lingzhi.

Among the five counties, Yangle County is the seat of Liaoxi County, and Feiru County is the county seat closest to Lulongsai. However, the current strength of the Qing army in Western Liaoning is mainly concentrated in the Feiru area in the west, in order to ensure that Lulongsai The safety of Longsai.

If Zhou Yu dared to land on the coast of Feiru County, he would be discovered immediately after landing. He would either be surrounded or driven back to the sea in despair. It would not be able to help Xuanyuan attract firepower at all.

The strength of the Qing army in western Liaoning is concentrated in the west, while the distribution of troops in the central and eastern regions is relatively empty. Therefore, landing in the central and eastern regions is a good strategy to attract the entire Qing army in western Liaoning.

The reason why Zhou Yu didn't land directly, but came to Juhua Island, is because Juhua Island is an island under the jurisdiction of Leyang County, and it is also the largest island in the Western Liaoning Sea.

If the island is captured, it will be tantamount to telling the Qing army that Zhou Yu is coming, and at the same time, it will also give the Qing army the illusion that the Qin army's navy will use this as a base to fight a protracted war with the Qing army in western Liaoning.

Although Chrysanthemum Island is the largest island in Western Liaoning, Western Liaoning is a barren county with a total population of only [-], so there is naturally not much population on Chrysanthemum Island.

The total area of ​​Chrysanthemum Island is only [-] to [-] miles, and there are only less than [-] islanders in total. Naturally, it is impossible to stop Zhou Yu's navy, and the scale of Qingzhou navy can even block the entire island.

When the warship of the Qin Army arrived at Chrysanthemum Island, the sea dwellers on the island were stunned. They had never seen such a big battle in their life. In addition, the island had been blocked by the Qin Army, and they couldn’t escape even if they wanted to. Where dared to give birth to a heart of resistance, it was natural to take the initiative to ask Zhou Yu to surrender.

In this way, Zhou Yu occupied the largest island in western Liaoning without giving up a single soldier. However, in the process, several pigeons were released by the secret agents of the Qing Dynasty on the island.

Lu Junyi, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, immediately drew his bow and shot several of them after seeing this scene, but when he was about to shoot the last one, he was stopped by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu deliberately let the carrier pigeon go, in order to expose Man Qing's whereabouts. He wanted Man Qing to know that Zhou Yu was here and was about to attack Liaoxi, but Man Qing didn't know his intention.

Zhou Yu looked at the mainland of western Liaoning in the distance, and ordered with a faint smile, "After a day of recuperation, land in western Liaoning."

"promise."

As expected by Zhou Yu, the high-level Manchu and Qing officials in western Liaoning were shocked when they received the letter from Feige from Juhua Island.

Knowing that Zhou Yu had captured Chrysanthemum Island, instead of directly landing in western Liaoning, so that they would be caught off guard, the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty subconsciously thought that Zhou Yu wanted to use Chrysanthemum Island as a rear area for hoarding supplies to fight against the Qing army in western Liaoning. Fight the protracted war.

Since it was unknown where Zhou Yu would land, and the Qing army had no navy to counterattack Juhua Island, Fu Jian, the Liaoxi defender appointed by Nurhaci, could only order the defenders everywhere to guard against death. Once the Qin army landed, they immediately lit the beacon towers. , Waiting for Zhou Yu to take the initiative to land in western Liaoning.

Zhou Yu didn't keep Fu Jian waiting for a long time. On the second day after he captured Juhua Island, he led troops to land in western Liaoning, and the location of the landing was not Feiru, but Yangle, the county government office. Startled.

According to the speculation of Fu Jian and other high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty, even if the Qin army's navy landed in the rear, it was to attack Lulongsai by surprise, so as to cut off the retreat of the frontline army, so they deployed heavy troops in the west of Liaoxi County in advance.

The Qing Dynasty had already laid a net of heaven and earth, but now although the Qin army came, the target was not the west, but the middle east.

This made Man Qing's previous preparations all of a sudden useless, as powerless as punching cotton with all his strength.

"Zhou Yu must have seen through our army's intentions and knew that there was an ambush in Feiru, so he didn't dare to land in Feiru, and turned to harass other places in western Liaoning, so as to disturb the rear of our army." Fu Jian said with a frown. .

"Then what should we do now?" Fu Jian's brother Fu Fa asked.

Fu Jian didn't speak, and thought about the countermeasures in his heart, but his younger brother Fu Rong said: "Brother, since it is impossible to ambush the Qin army, it is better to send some troops from the west and strangle the landing Qin army as soon as possible to prevent the Qin army from attacking the Qin army." It's a disaster in western Liaoning."
