Prime Minister take care

Chapter 160 The goodness of Qin Jin
Dankou.

From Zhounan County to Xiyong County, along the Yongshui River to the east, the first stop in Jingjing is Dankou.

Dankou has a complex water system, connecting Yongshui to the west, Danhu Lake to the north, and Xiangshui to the south, which is a transportation hub.Since Yang Xian got Dankou, he stationed heavy troops here.

Because Tang Dafu arrived with reinforcements, Liang Jun could only watch as Yang Xian led his troops to withdraw, leaving an empty water fortress behind.

As the saying goes, a breakup is better than a wedding. Tang Dafu, with his big belly, was chatting with Ma Xiaocui, the master of Thousand Cave Cave along the way. He didn't have the momentum to swallow up mountains and rivers and stop [-] Liangjun with one move.

At Dankou Pier, Ye Dongyang led a group of Chengtian Taoist disciples to greet Yang Xian.

The Chengtian Dao rebellion was put down that year, and the Chengtian believers in Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places were least implicated.And because of Tang Dafu, all Chengtian Taoist disciples in Jingzhou were scattered by fallen trees and ran away early into the mountains and forests.Although they were later encircled and suppressed by Cai Tong, they had little to do with Yang Xian.Therefore, their grudge against the Yang family is not deep.

Ye Dongyang and his daughter were very proud. After recruiting, more than 2 Chengtian Taoist disciples in Jingzhou joined Yang Xian.

Ye Qingqing followed his father and looked at the bright young man walking off the warship. There was a hint of mist in his eyes.

Yang Xian led his army to guard Rangshan alone, resisting the Liang army, and covering the retreat of the people.Not only the scattered Jingzhou people, but also the disciples of Chengtian Dao, did not feel admiration in their hearts.

But Ye Qingqing felt a little more worried.

Ye Qingqing stepped forward and was about to greet Yang Xian, but suddenly there was a trace of hesitation in his heart. At this moment, a crowd of people surrounded him.

In the middle of nowhere, where can she be seen in Yang Xian's eyes?Ye Qingqing felt a little disappointed, but the smile on his face was extremely gentle.He stood on the periphery of the crowd and looked at the young man who was dealing with others in the crowd.

"There are now 2 Chengtian Taoist disciples who have joined the lord, but Cai Tong seems to have gone back on his word."

The moon was clear, and after settling the soldiers of the Shu army, Yang Xian did not rest, but returned to his residence with the generals of the Shu army.

Ye Dongyang frowned and was among them.The [-] Chengtian Daoists have been resettled one after another, but as the number of Jingzhou Chengtian Daoists became more and more, Cai Tong seemed to repent and did not want to abide by the previous agreement with Yang Xian.

Yang Xian sat in his seat and smiled softly.

"Cai Tong originally thought that Jingzhou Chengtian Daoists would not be so easy to attach to me, so he readily agreed. But now there are 2 people. For Cai Tong, he is not only worried about Liang Jun in the north, but also There is my country of Shu."

In the Battle of Nanyang, both the Liang and Chu armies suffered losses, but overall, Cai Tong still took advantage.After this battle, Liang Jun was unable to launch a large-scale attack in Nanyang in a short period of time.

Cai Tong breathed a sigh of relief when the original life-and-death danger was eliminated, but at the same time he found that his neighbor had turned into a monster, and he was obviously horrified.

Compared with the Chu army, Shu's [-] naval troops are not that many, but they are all well-trained Taoist disciples of Chengtian who are proficient in water warfare.Because of the surrender of the Heiyu Army, the military strength of the Shu Kingdom was greatly improved.Cai Tong could tolerate the superiority of the Shu army over the Chu army in land warfare.But he couldn't bear that in a water battle, the Shu army's combat power could be equal to that of the Chu army.

Shu State had an advantage over Chu State due to its geographical advantages.In this way, Cai Tong becomes even more insecure.

"Cai Tong's vigilance is not easy to dispel, and I don't expect him to be able to dispel it. Uncle Ye Shi, how many Chengtian Taoists are there in Jingzhou?"

Although the two countries, Shu and Chu, had the same attitude towards Huan Wu, there was quite a lot of nastiness between the two parties in private.

"The number of Chengtian Taoist disciples in Jingzhou is already smaller than that in other states, and they have been gradually scattered over the years. Among the several groups I contacted, 3000 people have come, but they were blocked by Cai Tong and could not pass the Xiang army of the Chu army. Water defense line. They don’t have much food, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to last for half a month.”

Yang Xian nodded and looked at Tang Dafu.

"You take the [-] Chengtian Taoist disciples who have recently surrendered and set off from Dankou in a warship to Xiangcheng to pick up the remaining people." Tang Dafu puffed out his belly, patted his huge chest, and took a sip. accepted.

"Lord, will this trigger a full-scale conflict with Cai Tong?"

Liao Cheng said with some worry.Dankou is just upstream of Xiangcheng, and warships can easily enter Xiangshui.But after all, it was Cai Tong's territory, and it was also an important line of defense for the Chu army against Liang Jun.

What Yang Xian did was simply irritating Cai Tong's nerves.

Yang Xian smiled and said, "I didn't say you were going to fight?"

"That is?"

Xiangcheng.

After the Chu army retreated from Nanyang, Cai Tong returned to Xiangcheng from Qingyang County and observed the movements of the Liang and Shu armies on the front line.Cai Tong did not dare to be careless. Although Qingyang County was already in his hands, Cai Tong could not predict Huan Wu's reaction.Therefore, he led a heavy army to guard Xiangcheng.

"Gift?"

Looking at the Shu army warships on the river in the distance, Cai Tong was a little surprised.He stopped the Chengtian Taoist disciple who was about to seek refuge with Yang Xian, but he expected that Yang Xian would not give up.

But he didn't expect that Yang Xian would actually find this excuse.

"What gift did you send?"

"Eighteen water-proof beads, and several boxes of corals, pearls and other valuable treasures."

Wen Qing personally went to the Shu army's warship and saw the cargo in the cabin.For the Chu State, the Haiwang Sect was an important force.Now they are migrating sects. After success, the combat power of the Chu navy will be greatly improved.The monks of the Sea King Sect also changed from the original mercenaries to the troops directly under Cai Tong.

In this case, one can imagine the importance of those eighteen water-repelling beads in Cai Tong's heart.

"What else did Yang Xian say?"

"Yang Xian said that the two families should form a friendly relationship and fight against the Huan thieves and conquer the foreigners together."

Cai Tong squinted his eyes, his thoughts no longer knew where to go.

"After hearing that the Chengtian Taoist disciples in Jingzhou had joined Yang Xian, he sent them to Southwest County. Now it seems that Yang Xian's gains are really not small!"

"Master Hou, you mean?"

"Sea Clan!"

There are mountains between Jingzhou and Yizhou.But the sea areas of the two families did not exist.The sea tribe lives in the deep sea and invades from time to time.In order to protect the people along the coast, Cai Tong needs to spend a lot of money every year to hire monks to defend against the Sea Clan. It is time-consuming, laborious, and thankless, but he has to do it.

Coupled with the persecution of Liang Jun, the Chu State was depleted of financial resources.Cai Tong, with his status as the Marquis of Chu, had no choice but to wear commoner clothes and eat vegetarian food to police his ministers.But even so, I still lament the lack of resources.But now, Yang Xian has pointed out another path for him.

"Let our army open the gate and let the three thousand Chengtian Taoist disciples pass through the Xiangshui defense line and join the Shu army!"
