The estuary of the black water cannot be found in the dark. When it is dawn, fog will appear again in the bay. There are both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is difficult for the boat master to find himself, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to find the estuary at dawn, and it is even more difficult to measure the latitude of the sun. It is only when it is early to eat, the fog will dissipate, but at this time there are already boats on the coast.

February is not the season for fishing. It will not take until March that small yellow croakers will go back to the shallow sea. However, the price of millet is high, and fishermen in the near sea have to sail to the sea. When the tide is low, some small fish and shrimps can always be stranded on the beach to feed. When the fog is on, the fishermen cannot see the boats of Yingshi anchored outside the sea. However, once the fog dissipates, a team of more than 250 warships suddenly appears on the sea.

The feather flags swayed on the warship, and the military flags stood in the sky, and a halo appeared in the sun. The fishing boats in the shallow sea suddenly became a little panicked. What is strange is that a fishing boat did not avoid it, but came up instead.

"Who is coming?" Looking at the fishing boat getting closer and closer, the boatman on the big wing closest to the coast shouted. The boatman did not scare the fisherman in ragged clothes on the fishing boat, but he said the Donglai language. No one could understand what he was saying. It was not until the translator who specially arranged for this battle came forward to know the fisherman's request on the fishing boat.

"Report to the king, the fisherman said: If you can give him three stones of corn, you can lead the entire army into the black water." The news reached Xiong Jing's warship, and the other party's request came forward was like this.

"Three stones of corn?" Xiong Jing was stunned. The requirements of the party leading the way were too low.

"However, the price of millet in Qi rose sharply last month, with more than 200 coins per stone. No one could get food for the soldiers." The military officer who spread the news continued. "Although the soldiers were able to eat well, they could not take care of their parents and wives, so many people went to the sea to fish."

"There are many deceitful people in Qi, but they may not be able to believe it." The army's Sima Zhuang Wudi and Xiong Jing were in the same boat, and he distrusts the people in Qi.

"It's not necessarily necessary to try it." As soon as Wu went to the boat master, he began to find the sea outlet. Since everyone can lead the way, you can try it.

The boatman anchored on the outer sea was still waiting. The big winged warship in front had already spread along the coast, but it was faster than the reconnaissance warship. The Qi people who had obtained three stones of corn led everyone to a river not far away without paddling far. He said this was the black water.

According to the map, the water and the water of the sea merge into a river and the intersection point is about 70 miles away from the coast. If this is a fraud by Qi people, the entire army has to travel more than 70 miles to realize that they are deceived. At this time, the boats in the north are also reported that it is said that it is likely that it is a water of the river to be found. One of the two rivers must be chosen.

"Reported to the king, the fisherman said: The north is Ji River, not Ji River." The military officer spoke to Donglai and asked Qi people on the fishing boat for a reply.

"King, I think the people of Qi are not trustworthy." Zhuang Wudi had no good feelings for the people of Qi, and there was another reason that made him a little taboo. "I heard that Sun Wuzi, a military strategist, was born in Le'an, north of Judian. If so..."

"Why don't you believe it?" Xiong Jing of course knew that Sun Wu and Wu Shi were commanding by Wu Zixu and him. However, in Lu Li's mirror, he saw that the yellow corn had just been moved onto the tattered fishing boat. Two bare-butt children rushed out of the cabin. They grabbed the corn and stuffed it into their mouths. Then a woman with no clothes dragged the child in and finally moved all the corn into the cabin.

"The order: Enter Qi along the water on the south side." Xiong Jing made his own judgment.

"Tell me the command, enter Qi along the south side of the water." No one questioned Xiong Jing's orders, and the warships successively raised anchors, put down the tightening sails, and sailed northwest into the black water pointed out by the fisherman.

At this time, the fishing boat leading the way stopped at the mouth of the black water. The fisherman squatted on the bow and motionless, and smoke suddenly came from the fishing boat. When Xiong Jing was on his way, a child who was dragged into the carriage ran to the tail cabin, chewing corn in his mouth while watching one warship after another.

"Take him a few cans." The child was wearing a torn robes under the north wind, and his crotch was facing this side. It was already cold and tight, like a broken pottery teapot spout. Master Ying came to attack Qi, not to help the poor and bring warmth, but Xiong Jing still couldn't bear it. At this moment, he might be able to understand the reason why Mencius called "the people are the most important."

"The king gave meat." The Chu soldiers on the warship thought that the canned horse meat was given to the fisherman. After shouting, several cans were thrown over immediately. A few fell into the cabin, and two bounced a few times and rolled into the sea.

The fisherman didn't understand Chu Yu, nor did he know what was in the can. Until he saw Chu Zuo who was getting farther and farther away, he started smashing the can with some poses to smash the can with half-believing and half-doubting the can. The can was not easy to smash, and the fisherman finally took a stone before smashing the can. Although the can was not heated, once it was smashed, the meat smelled everywhere.

"Report to the king, this is indeed a black water." The front leader led the warship and unexpectedly heard news.

"How to prove it?" Xiong Jing was puzzled. He thought it would take at least three hours to determine whether the under his feet was black water.

"I know that the Marquis of the Master has boarded the boat." The boat team stretched for six miles, and they could only convey simple news in flags, but it was undoubtedly known that the Marquis of the Master who came to boarded the boat. This made the wings on the Marquis of the Wuyi warship greatly relieved. No one dared to speak at the sea because it was a world they never understood, but when they arrived on land, they regained their confidence.

"I am guilty of death, please ask the king to punish me." Half an hour later, Hou Ji was sent over by the front boat. He bent over and bowed, fearing and terrified.

"Why is it delayed?" Hou Ji failed to ignite the fire at the beach as promised, and it took several hours to delay, and even made the entire army unable to reach the city of Linzi until evening. Xiong Jing was naturally unhappy.

"I didn't know the waterway after entering Judian, so it was delayed." Hou Ji leaned down and lowered his head, explaining the reason for the delay.

Judian is located in the south of the intersection of Shishui and Zishui, more than ten miles wide in the north and south, and thirty miles long in the east and west, and is southwest-northeast. The Zishui injects Judian and flows out Judian and flows out Judian. But in addition to Zishui, there are Yaoshui, Yangshui, and Ocean Water, which also injects Judian and flows out Judian and flows out Judian. It is not incomprehensible that the delay caused by the river channel of Judian is not incomprehensible.

"How about Qi State?" Xiong Jing did not say that he would not punish him, but asked about the situation in Qi State.

"I heard that the soldiers of Gaotang had been sent to Muling, but only 100,000 people holding halberds in Linzi had not moved." The marquis said. "Linzi also ordered each town to offer chariots, vests and shields, but the prices of chariots, vests and shields increased, and all the cities were unhappy and sang, " "Hey, what is he? Is he going to return to the King of Chu!"

"Oh?!" Xiong Jing had never heard of the song, but the meaning contained in it surprised him.

"The people of Qi cannot win the common people, I will win this battle." Zhuang Wudi shouted loudly. "The fisherman leads the way is a proof, and I will be wrong."

"Please ask the king to order the knights to tell the people of Qi: The Chu army will not harm the people of Qi, but will only kill Housheng." After Zhuang Wudi said that, the accompanying advised.

As staff officers, Zhuang Wudi and Yingshi's wings have a deep understanding of Qi State, but their thoughts are difficult to transcend the shackles of the times and cannot see the ruling logic of Qi State. Although Xiong Jing does not like politics, he has lived for more than two thousand years. The trick of raising and killing pigs played by Qi State has long been clear. Only such rule has made the common people of Qi State not resist the tyrannical Qin. Now that they have entered the Qi State's territory, they have finally come to their senses.

"Good." Xiong Jing agreed without hesitation. "Transferred Gui Jing and ordered the knights to tell the Qi people: 'The Chu army will not harm the Qi people, but will only kill Housheng'"

From the time when the Zhou army entered the Zishui River and went up the water, the cavalry of the Ying army had already landed on the shore to reconnaissance along the sides of the Zishui River. Although political propaganda was correct and necessary, there was only one city north of Judian. At this moment, the fishing boat had already spread the news that "there are large troops on the sea" to Le'an. Sun Hao, a doctor from the Yi Dynasty, did not believe it when he heard this, but the three of them became tigers. Not one person saw that there were large troops on the sea.

"It must be the Chu army!" His brother Sun Yi thought about it and concluded that it was the Chu army.

"The boat troops all arrived in Chengshan, and the waves surging in winter, why did the Chu people come here?" Sun Hao still couldn't believe it. He felt that the Chu army fell from the sky, otherwise it would not have been possible here suddenly.

"Chu and the more people are good at boats and oars, and they attack me across the sea, which is no different." Sun Yi said. "I should close the city gate quickly and ask Linzi to rescue me."

"Report—!" Le'anyi is less than three miles long, less than two miles wide, and the city is less than two feet high. The shouts outside the city can be heard clearly. The people who close the city gates, but it is too late to ask Linzi to rescue them, because the Chu army's boat troops have appeared in Le Chengyi's sight.

"Beat the drum! Climb the city." Although the city was small, it could not open the door to offer the city. When the county doctor Sun Hao heard the news, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the county soldiers to beat the drums and prepare for war. However, at this time, the Chu army cavalry had already arrived outside the city. Under the hurried gaze of the city soldiers, the knight shouted: "I will tell you at the order of the king: The Chu army will not harm the Qi people, but will only kill Housheng."

"Report to the Lord, the Chu people said: Don't harm Qi people, only kill Housheng." When Sun Hao climbed the city, a company commander who could hear the most clearly quickly told him, but at this time, Sun Hao's eyes had been taken by the Chu army's boat division, and he didn't hear clearly what he was saying.

The sun was already rising very high at this time, and the bare ground on both sides of the river were endless. The water flowing east into the sea divided it, and the water surface was shining with waves, slightly dazzling. The Chu army's warship sailed on this sparkling river, with boats stretching for six or seven miles, and each warship extended densely packed long slurry to both sides. In addition to seeing the slurry, you can also see huge sails and towering flags, see the soldiers waiting for the deck and the horses in the stables.

The boat was very fast. Sun Hao only looked at it for a quarter of an hour and felt that the boat team had advanced for several miles. The originally blurred flag had finally seen it clearly. It was a three-headed wind painted on silk.

"King of Chu?! It's King of Chu!" Thanks to the spread of news from the Great Chu, Sun Hao instantly understood who the man in red was.
