The vast fleet headed north directly, left Dongting Lake, came to the Yangtze River, and then advanced with all its strength, went down the river, and came to Sangluozhou, a place where troops had been stationed since ancient times.

Sangluo Prefecture is not a state, but is made up of small rivers and continents. Because the gray-yellow reeds that have been abandoned for many years have become residents, they gathered together one by one, combining the small states into a large state, which looks extremely shocking.

The slender and dense reeds move in the wind, taller than people. When a river breeze blows, the whole reeds sway in an instant. The entire Sangluozhou has long disappeared. There are only a few small outer states that stop. The reeds are rare, as if they are the land where fishermen can stop and can barely rest.

Narrow and secret paths appear faintly in Sangluo Prefecture. This kind of goat intestine path is the passage to Sangluo Prefecture. If you don’t have the guidance of someone familiar, you will get lost.

"Sure enough, this place is really a strategic place. If you station thousands of troops, it will be difficult to detect it!" Zhang Wanghai looked at this reed land, which was taller than people, covering up the land, making people unable to tell whether it was a river surface or soil, and if you were not careful, you would be lost in it.

"Commander, we don't know the way either!" The subordinates on the side also scratched their heads and said.

"Stupid, Sangluozhou looks abandoned, but there is a world inside, which is a good land to avoid officials. Moreover, the ancients could station troops, and there must be a large number of people. Besides, even if there is no one, it is also a place for fishermen to rest on weekdays. We can ask for a way out by catching some people!"

Zhang Wanghai smiled confidently. He grew up in Dongting Lake since childhood. He knew very well about this situation. The fishermen were very cunning. Such a good land was without wind or waves, and the official uniform was beyond the reach. How could he abandon it for no reason?

"Leave some people and give them guidance. This Sangluozhou will be our territory in the future, guard here!"

Zhang Wanghai looked at the rolling Yangtze River and frowned and said, "This place is important and should not be careless, but it is too close to Dongting Lake and too far from Yangzhou. It is not enough to transport it. We still have to look for it. The Yangtze River is so big that there must be other rivers, and it will be near Huainan. In this way, you will definitely fulfill Your Majesty's instructions!"

After giving the order, dozens of people were sent to wait near Sangluozhou, and then they looked for a way, waiting for more than 300 boats to ride the wind and waves, and continued to head towards Yangzhou.

Along the way, the Southern Tang and the Yangtze River counties in the Central Plains saw this huge fleet, but without exception, they chose to ignore it. This was almost the largest fleet in the Yangtze River. If it was robbed or accidentally destroyed, it would have to cry.

This is true for bureaucrats. It is better to have less than more things. If you cause trouble, it will be bad.

So, the fleet was smooth sailing. When they saw the plump merchant ship, they even blackmailed them. Not to mention, the harvest was much higher than that of Dongting Lake. If it weren't for the rescue, Zhang Wanghai would have really wanted to stop and collect some tolls.

"Tsk tsk!" Zhang Wanghai touched the silk silk in his hand, his eyes shining, and he kept groping back and forth. It seemed like Shu brocade, which was more comfortable than a woman, and he really couldn't bear to let go:

"The Yangtze River is really unmatched by Dongting Lake. It is not only wide, but also has many merchant ships. If it is suspended for a few days, it will be worth our year's fuel and water!"

"It's a pity that this commander still wants to rescue the Huainan army and cannot stay. It's such a pity!"

"Come on, this is the west wind. God helps me. Speed ​​up the marching and open the sails-" When I remembered that my family was still in Langzhou, Zhang Wanghai shivered instantly, came to his senses, raised his head, and ordered loudly.

Then he raised his head and looked at the scorching sun hanging from the sky, he prayed:

"I hope the Yangzhou army can hold on for a few more days!"

It was late at night, and it was dark between the sky and the earth. Today it was raining. The cold wind from the Yangtze River hit the face, carrying a slight fishy smell, beating on the armored iron leaves of Li Chongjin, the governor of Huainan, and made a fine and sharp sound.

Although the river wind kept blowing, it still could not hide the bloody smell outside Yangzhou city. Perhaps it was raining, and the imperial guards had already withdrawn. Before the sun set, smoke rose.

Li Chongjin finally relieved his breath and did not have to fight directly, but as the leader, he needed to constantly inspect the troops and boost morale. After another day of fatigue, he supported the city wall, looked at the calm river surface, listened to the whistling wind of the river, and felt extremely melancholy in his heart.

"Mr. Chen, hasn't the fleet arrived yet?" Li Chongjin's voice was a little hoarse and heavy. For ordinary soldiers with night blindness, the night was a few feet away, and he was rich and glorious, and he knew very clearly about the river that was close to him, and no ship was on the river.

The long-awaited fleet has not seen a trace yet, and the fierce siege that has passed by day has already exhausted him. The war has long worn out his ambitions. He is already forty years old and old, and playing with his grandchildren is his destination.

However, we have to fight. If it were not for the struggle, as the Emperor of Great Zhou, as soon as the new dynasty was established, it would be inevitable that the clan would be destroyed. Even if Zhao Kuangyin was very loyal and moral in the rumors.

Bah, will you usurp the throne by morality and loyalty? The late emperor is very kind to him!

"Don't worry, the fleet is already in the river. It will be possible to reach Yangzhou within a few days. The Zhao family's boat is too young to stop it!" Chen Yang was also watching the Yangtze River at night. Hearing Li Chongjin's inquiry, he quickly responded.

Li Chongjin was worried and anxious, but he was not the same. After all, he was the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty. If the city was broken, it would be inevitable that the head would fall to the ground. Fortunately, several ships traveled at night in the past few days, avoiding the Song army's eyes and ears, and sent a lot of supplies. They could hold on for a few more days, otherwise the city would be broken.

These ships came to Yangzhou and could not go back. They could only move westward and transfer some wounded people out to avoid affecting morale. Li Chongjin must not leave, otherwise these tens of thousands of Huainan troops would be abolished and Yangzhou City would be broken in the blink of an eye.

He had to persuade him after he had to use his power. Fortunately, Li Chongjin knew that these troops were his capital for promotion and knew some sense of responsibility, but at the cost, he, the special envoy, stayed.

"If you bring these powerful troops back, you will definitely be promoted, so you can only endure it!"

When the two were about to leave, a small boat with lights on the river was lit. The two couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly pulled the man up with a hanging basket.

"You are the fleet?" Li Chongjin asked in strong Cangzhou dialect.

"Report to the general, that's right!" The soldier who was hanging up quickly said:
Chapter completed!
