Wukou is the place where the northwest Wuhu River and the northeast Wuhu River converge. Because the Wuhu River is strong, it is Wuhu River entering Wuhu River. According to the convention, the place where it enters Wuhu River is called Wukou, and the local people also call it Jiangkouzui.

But from the terrain, the ridge is like the middle position of the character "Ya", which is located between the Sanjiangkou.

If you sail along the water in the northwest at the entrance of the vein, you can reach Hanwu, the prefecture of Hengzhou, Xihengzhou; if you sail along the water in the northeast at the entrance of the vein, you can reach Qujiang, Donghengzhou, and of course, you have to pass through Zhenyang City halfway.

Wang Meng, the governor of the Chen State, led his troops to station in the city of Zhenyang, together with the Lishang and the cave masters from all over the world, resisted the Zhou army at the city. Wukou, located in the lower reaches of Zhenyang, was an important food and grass transport point for the troops to garrison in Zhenyang.

The grain collected from downstream Guangzhou and other places was loaded on a ship and headed north along the Qingshui River. After arriving at the Chenjun camp at the Wukou, it could enter Hanwu via the Wushui River or reach Xianyang via the Wushui River, and provide the grain to the defenders of the two cities to fight against the Zhou army.

No, the Zhou army has no way to waste time with the official army!

Deng Hao was in a good mood when he thought about this. This morning, his fellow brother Wang Meng sent a messenger from Zhenyang to Wukou and brought a letter and good news: the Zhou army lacked food and supplies, and either launched an attack in the near future or retreated to Qujiang.

How did Wang Meng find such an important matter? Deng Hao didn't know, but he knew that there was no need for his brother to lie to him, so he was really relieved after receiving this good news.

Since the defeat of Dayuling, the Chen army has retreated step by step. It is easy to concentrate its efforts to defend Zhenyang. If the Zhou army cannot be stopped, Guangzhou will be very dangerous.

Now that the Zhou army is not supplying food and grass, it is very likely that they will retreat without fighting. On that day, they have to drink and celebrate, but the question is, will the Zhou army retreat without fighting?

impossible!

Ask yourself, if he was the chief general of the Zhou army, he would have finally crossed the Dayu Ridge and approached the city of Zhenyang. He saw that as long as he took down the city, he could go directly to the city of Zhifanyu in Guangzhou, even if the supply of food and grass was tight, he would rather fight hard than stop.

Therefore, Wang Meng repeatedly instructed his younger brother Deng Hao to guard the Weikou Village, as this is related to the food guards of the Zhenyang army, and he must not make mistakes at the critical moment, so as not to let the Zhou army, who was about to lose food, find an opportunity to turn the tables.

Chen Junweikou Village is divided into two villages, north and south. The Nanzhai is located on the south bank of Wuweikou and is also on the west bank of the Qinshui River section lower than Wuweikou. There is a grain transport terminal next to the village where a large number of ships gather. The Beizhai, located on the north bank of Wuweikou, stationed a large number of official troops to guard the two rivers.

The two ribs of Beizhai are the Bingshui River, which are surrounded by the Bingshui River (west and east). The south is Sanjiangkou and the north is the steep mountainous Jushan Mountain. The terrain is dangerous. If the Zhou army wants to turn the tables, they either take down the city of Zhenyang or sneak attack the Bingshu Village to cut off the grain road in Zhenyang.

Will Zhou Jun have a chance? No!

Deng Hao firmly believed in this. Wang Meng ordered him to guard the scepter, which was to hand over a heavy responsibility to the most trustworthy person. In order to ensure the safety of the scepter, Deng Hao had made careful arrangements. It was impossible for the Zhou army to attack.

Walk 6 routes? The Beizhai of Weikou is backed by the Tsui Mountains, which is the southern foot of the stretching mountains. The mountains are dangerously blocked by dozens of miles wide. Perhaps a few people could come over the mountains, but if a large-scale team wants to march like this, they will die from the middle of the road, and at least half of them will be killed by poisonous snakes, insects and ants.

Regardless of these, if you want to walk from the northern foot of the mountain range to the southern foot of the mountain, there is no road at all. It will take half a month to slowly cross mountains and ridges. If the Zhou army really wants to send people to cross mountains and attack, how can these soldiers carry enough food?

Deng Hao has been in the army for many years and has led soldiers to fight wars. He knew that under normal circumstances, a soldier would only carry a weight of ten days at most. This is the standard when marching on the flat ground. Climbing mountains and ridges is a stamina, and soldiers can only carry less food.

If the Zhou army really wanted to cross the mountains and attack Beizhai, the soldiers sent were afraid that they would have eaten up all the dry food halfway, and then they were lost and unable to retreat, and finally they were trapped and died in the continuous mountains, so this would not work at all.

The only feasible thing is to take a waterway and take a boat downstream from the Jinshui River to attack the Jinkou, which saves time and effort, but the premise is to break through the waters in the Zhenyang area and break through the downstream of the Jinpu Pass.

The river section in front and behind Zhenyang is located in the river section of Qinshui. Both sides are mountains, which are the famous "Zhenyang Gorge". Especially after dozens of miles past Zhenyang, both sides of Qinshui are as steep as walls. When they are about to reach Wukou, there is an ancient pass called Weipu Pass, which is the pass on the only 6 channels on the banks of Qinshui.

The history of Weipu Pass is long. According to legend, after Zhao Tuo occupied Lingnan and established the Nanyue Kingdom at the end of the Qin Dynasty, in order to prevent the Han army from heading south to Fanyu, he set up heavy troops in this Weipu Pass and even pulled up the Hengjiang iron chain.

It is said that Zhao Tuo also built a city of 10,000 people here, and garrisoned 10,000 troops to support Weipu Pass, in order to keep the Han army that was very likely to break through Dayu Ridge.

However, the South Yue Kingdom did not stop the Han army in the end. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Yang Pu, the general of the Lou Ship, broke through Dayu Ridge and took a boat to enter the Ship River. In addition, General Fubo Lu Bode, went out of Guiyang County and crossed Qitian Ridge to walk the Ship River, and attacked Yang Pu left and right to break through the Ship Pass and Wanren City.

However, the Zhou army has not yet arrived at the Bing River Basin, and the Hanyu prefecture of Xihengzhou is still controlled by the Chen army. Therefore, Deng Hao is not worried that the Zhou army will have such power. Since the other party is out of water, even 6 cannot attack Bingkou, then here can rest assured.

But he did not dare to take it lightly. For many years, there was no military camp or city. There was a wharf and a water village on the south bank of Weikou. The city of Wanren had already turned into a pile of ruins. The camp on the north bank of Weikou was temporarily built, and it would be a bad idea to be surrounded by people.

Standing on the camp, he looked at the transshipment terminal in the south and signaled the department to approach: "Have you sent more people on the top of the mountain?"

"After the general, fifty people had been sent to Jushan at noon. There are now 100 beacon towers on the top of the mountain, so there are no problem."

"Very good. We must strictly guard against the top of the mountain and the waterway in the next few days. Be careful of the Zhou army sending troops to attack!"

"General, the Zhou army is not a general, how can they sneak attack Yikou? As long as I wait and wait for the battle, even if there are thousands of troops, I will not be able to successfully attack!"

The generals were full of confidence, and Deng Hao did not comment on this. He did not want to attack the enthusiasm of his subordinates, nor did he want everyone to relax his vigilance. However, he himself felt that there was no flaw in the Yikou Village and that Zhou Bing could not succeed in a sneak attack.

The Tsui Mountain to the north of the camp was very steep. Although it was not a cliff, it was very difficult to get to the top and bottom of the mountain. He had sent troops up the mountain to set up beacon towers to avoid people coming to attack the camp by climbing the mountain, but in fact he did not think that the Zhou army could really come.

The beacon towers on the top of the mountain are mainly used for observation, where you can see the surface of the Tinshui River in the northeast and the Tinshui River in the northwest. Once an abnormality occurs on the river, the beacon can be ignited. If he sees it at the foot of the mountain, he can respond in time.

The road up the mountain is rugged and difficult to walk. It is difficult to transport supplies because you can only leave people, so it is difficult to transport supplies. Therefore, there are no more beacon towers on the mountain. It is already a bit nervous to station fifty people in the temporary small village. The reason why fifty people are added today is just in case.

Even if a hundred people face a large number of enemy attacks, they can still have enough time to start a beacon, and it is enough to warn the camps at the foot of the mountain in time. After all, it will take half a day to go down the mountain if the attacking enemy wants to go down the mountain.

Thinking of this, Deng Hao looked up at the top of the mountain. Although he could not see the beacon tower on the top of the mountain at such a distance, since he had his own eyes and ears, he didn't have to worry about the enemy's sneak attack.

"General, there is absolutely no one on the top of the mountain..."

Before the general could finish his words, Deng Hao's expression changed. He turned his head and looked at the top of the mountain and was stunned: Two thick smoke was rising from the top of the mountain. According to the previous agreement, this was a signal of the attack on the beacon tower.
