Chapter 666 Straight to Youzhou

Yang Feng used the immortal's drunk to save another soul that was poisoned by the Five Stones...

Well, this is a rescue.

In short, a real man cannot be remembered forever, and he should be the one who has been infamous for thousands of years. At the banquet in Luoyang, the two reached a tacit understanding with the effect of the immortal drunkenness. Huan Wen can garrison troops in Luoyang, but cannot exceed 2,000 people. Yang Feng will not expand south of the Yellow River, but can retain a bridgehead in Mengjin. At present, Yang Feng is rebuilding the Heyang Bridge, and he will definitely build the three cities of Heyang in the future. Huan Wen will not interfere with his construction of the southern city of Heyang.

This is enough.

If Huan Wen had any thoughts about him, with the three cities of Heyang, Yang Feng's cavalry could knock on Luoyang at any time.

As for Yang Feng’s treatment of Henan…

He really has no interest.

In fact, he would not have any interest in the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the short term. He was also not interested in the Eastern Jin court. He would not get involved in the destructive affairs between Huan Wen and Sima Yu! He would just control these guys with the immortals and ensure that these guys should not make trouble for him behind his back. There were toys in front of him, so he would not like those guys in the south, Murong Jun, Tuoba family, Fu family, Bobo's father, and Goguryeo to him, which was better to bring him happiness than those famous men who painted medicine in the south.

Let’s keep Henan as a buffer zone between him and the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

Anyway, the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have the courage to mess with him.

Everyone maintains nominal relationships and then plays their own things. At most, strengthen trade exchanges, especially at this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty actually controlled Vietnam...

Well, it's Huan Wen's.

At this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty still controlled Rinan County. Previously, Linyi captured Rinan, Huan Wen sent Teng and Guansui to lead troops from Guangxi to attack. Linyi was expelled from Rinan and asked to surrender. That is, from that time, Jiaoguang was added to Huan Wen's governor. In this way, we can see if we could get the Chameng rice. If he sent some people to the Rinan area for investigation, he would definitely help him if he could go to the immortal Huan Wen. However, at this time, there were probably no Chameng rice. This kind of thing was also the result of the domestication and cultivation of wild rice. At this time, there was still eight hundred years before the Song Dynasty introduced Zhancheng rice. It was hard to say whether this kind of rice was born. If he didn't do it well, he would have to take action himself. After all, even if he sent someone to investigate, he wouldn't really understand these things.

Anyway, do your best!

Huan Wen also gained some benefits.

He could buy armor and weapons from Yang Feng. In fact, Xun Xian had done this long ago. Yang Feng's steel industry was booming. After burning out the trees around Yecheng, he had already started digging coal in Handan. The armor and weapons he produced were sophisticated that it was obvious to all. Both Xun Xian and Huan Wen were very interested, especially the equipment of cavalry was even more enviable.

Don’t underestimate the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty was also a cavalryman in toys.

From this point of view, it was his own problem that the Song Dynasty had no horses.

There was nothing like the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty maintained a certain number of cavalry until the Southern Dynasties, as well as cavalry generals like Xiao Moha.

After the hookup with Huan Wen was over, Yang Feng returned to Yecheng immediately, and for the rest of the year, he did not continue to attack northward.

He has to build a ship first.

Although he has made a lot in the past two years, it is still far from enough to destroy Yan in one fell swoop. Fortunately, after the Battle of Liantai, Ran Dudu, who was suddenly enlightened by the immortals, can now be said to be able to do everything, and he can recite poems, essays, calligraphy and painting. Even the Calligraphy Saint sent private messages to communicate. He also highly praised his thin gold body. Martial arts jumped on horseback and swords across a hundred steps, and cutting people's heads was like cutting vegetables. He liked to play the game of fighting against enemy leaders alone in the formation and killing other people's heads. He could cultivate water conservancy, build steel, burn cement, build fortresses, and even get medical treatment and medicine. The most terrifying thing is that he even knows how to give birth to women. In the past two years, most of his wives and concubines gave birth to children, and as for shipbuilding, it is even more difficult to build a ship.

What are you talking about?

The transport canal ships, the mail-seeking vehicles, the sailing bird ships, and even the five-tooth giant ships are fine...

Well, this is only on the drawings.

After all, there is only a canal boat on the Yellow River, Qinghe, and Zhanghe River. It cannot be too large tonnage. No one needs to think about thousands of materials, eight hundred materials, five hundred materials, etc. In fact, two hundred materials are very tight. In the Ming Dynasty, two hundred materials were the mainstream in the northern section of the canal, but in this era there were not so many sluice gates to control the water level of the canal. It can be said that it is a completely natural waterway. Two hundred materials can be used to travel during the flood season. So Yang Feng built small characters on the canal, such as stripping ships and Hongbo. The former is Barges, even sails do not even need to be paddled directly. Of course, Yang Feng must add sails to it. The latter is actually a small barge. In history, these small boats were even used to transport goods to Jizhou. There are also footboats and three-board rowing boats. These are small sampans. Don’t underestimate the sampans. The North Canal often has shallow water that requires this thing to carry cargo to Tongzhou. Moreover, he transports grain and troop along the way, and there is no need to consider the power issue. This makes it more convenient to use these small boats.

As for the return journey, it doesn’t matter. Just like those small sampans, it’s a good idea to throw them away even if they are transported in one go. Anyway, there is wood in Taihang Mountains, so just cut it down and find a small river to put it down. Ships in Yecheng and Fangtou Tangyang can be built in a day. What’s the problem of returning journey?

The largest stripping ship here can also carry 300 stones of grain, and one ship catches dozens of carriages by land.

This is not a speed advantage.

Of course, large sand boats must also be available.

After all, he had to take into account the near sea, and in the season where the water volume was the most abundant, such ships could be sailed. The grain collected by Henan in the early Ming Dynasty was transported to the small beach of Damingfu and then handed over to the official chaoyang ships for transportation. In other words, both the Yellow River and the northern section of the canal could actually sail. The chaoyang ships transported in the early Ming Dynasty were sand ships, and later it was gradually changed to shallow ships with canal system.

Because he had been preparing materials before, he had sufficient materials reserves, Yang Feng could be said to have made every effort to build ships in the next half year.

It was soon the spring of the following year.

During this period, Murong Jun had no reaction, but in fact he could not react either. Murong Qiang tentatively attacked Xiangguo, but was almost hit on the forehead by a 200-pound rock bullet half inside and outside. The one jumped and rolled on the ground, smashing the two most brave officers under him into a boulder that made his mind clear, and then ordered the withdrawal of Changshan.

Murong Jun also sent cavalry to try to harass him.

Then his cavalry was tragic.

Everyone is a soldier!

Even women can shoot them like rabbits with the latest steel crossbow with winding gear.

Because of the continuous growth of steel production and the turbulent times over decades, the people are very aware of the preciousness of force. When Yang Feng allowed ordinary people to purchase weapons, this weakened steel crossbow that cared for women's physical strength was essential to almost every household...

It's not expensive anyway.

Because the yield is getting higher and higher, even breastplate is not worth much money.

This special steel-piece crossbow is usually used to hunt for nutrition. When it comes to the invasion of Yan army, it will shoot Yan cavalry like shooting rabbits. Even the weakened version has a range and power far exceeding the cavalry bow. Shooting more than 100 meters is like playing. Simple sights and the accuracy of shooting rabbits on weekdays can let Yan cavalry know what a combat nation is apart from thirty feet. By the way, this steel-piece crossbow can easily penetrate the simple armor of Yan army light cavalry at such a distance. Of course, it is impossible to use heavy armored cavalry in such cavalry attacks. Many Yan cavalry even do not have armor. It is completely tragic to encounter such weapons.

When those reserves and reserves led by local lieutenants climbed the city walls, every small county town and every fortress would let the haunted Yan cavalry know what arrows were like rain.

Then there are the reinforcements of Wei cavalry.

You should know that Yang Feng had two light cavalry brigades at this time, and he was a little dissatisfied, but after the Battle of Yimu, it was full. It has to be said that the Yan army’s great use is to send him horses. In three years, he stole more than 5,000 war horses. A cavalry brigade had 4,000 people. He had 8,000 light cavalry and 4,000 heavy cavalry. Even in this era, it was a powerful cavalry force. When the Yan army’s cavalry was restricted by those forts, especially rivers and lakes...

Well, there are lakes here.

It is probably hard for modern people to think that at this time, there was a vast ocean in the northeast of Xingtai. This lake called Daluze did not completely disappear until the end of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, it was still vast and stretched from Ningjin to Pingxiang. This was the pillar of the two fortress groups of Yang Feng, Xiangguo and Guangping, which was exactly one on one side. With Tangyang and Xindu, even the Yan army's route to the east was blocked. To the east were dense northeast rivers, from Sai Shui to Qinghe, and the famous Yongnuze, which were all natural obstacles to the cavalry. In the end, the Yan army's cavalry went south and could only break into the Wei army's fortress group. Then, when the Wei cavalry reinforcements arrived, they were beaten up. The two sides continued to fight on both sides of the mainland for half a year. There was no time for the Yan army to gain advantage, and basically they were defeated and fled in a panic.

It was early summer again. At this time, with the continuous rainfall, all rivers in the North China Plain were filled with rain. Even the largest transport ship in Yang Feng could be loaded with hundreds of stones of cargo and sail anywhere it wanted to go.

Then……

"This place is named Tianjin!"

Yang Feng stood at the mouth of Sancha River, put his hands on his hips and pointed at Huang Mang in front of him and said.

This is indeed Tianjin.

But now it is the intersection of Qingshui and Gushui in the lower reaches of the Yushui River. The two rivers converge and then go east to the sea to meet the Haihe River. Yang Feng actually came from the Haihe River. His fleet set sail in Yecheng and entered the Qinghe River, then replaced it with a large ship in Wucheng, and walked along the Qinghe River to Zhangwu, which is the modern Huanghua area, and entered the sea. After sailing north for more than a hundred miles, he entered the Haihe River estuary, and went upstream from Quanzhou Qukou to Sancha River.

His purpose of doing this is very simple.

It is to achieve suddenness to the maximum extent. If you walk through the Pinglu Canal system of the Zhanghe River, it will be difficult to avoid the investigation of the Yan army. However, if you walk through Qinghe, which has been completely controlled by himself, you can achieve suddenness. His target is Beijing, or Youzhou, Yan County or Ji County. The three are currently in the same city. The city is in the southwest corner of Beijing. He wants to close the door and fight dogs, raid and take down Yan County to block Murong Jun's road to retreat north, trapping all the main forces of the Murong family in Zhongshan and Changshan. The latter is his two fortress groups, Xiangguo and Guangping, and to the east are the vast Yongnuze and a series of river channels blocking. Behind these river channels are still the strong city he controls. To the north, he blocked the Yan County channel. If Murong Jun does not want to be destroyed in this encirclement, then he can only go west.

As for whether Zhang Ping or Tuoba Shi Yijian in the west will allow them to go there...

That's all Yang Feng's business.

"Go ahead, go to Youzhou City!"

Yang Feng said in command.

Under his feet, the dozen-meter-long ocean-covered ship continued to slowly move upstream and enter Gushui under the southeast wind blowing from behind. The countless same ocean-covered ships were loaded with soldiers from two infantry brigades, winding like a giant dragon on the Haihe River and following their commander into the mouth of Sancha River.

Three hours later they arrived in Quanzhou.

The Quanzhou County Magistrate appointed by Murong Jun was waiting on the shore.

No soldiers or food, why didn’t he surrender?

He didn't even have a defender here, and not only his place, but also the Yongnu, Anci and even Lu County, there were no Yan troops around him, and even Youzhou City only 10,000 old, weak and disabled. Murong Jun could use up to more than 100,000 troops. Before, he ran south and plundered all the controlled areas to scatter the country's strength, but only had more than 200,000 troops. Then he experienced four or five years of war with Ran Min and Yang Feng, and in the later stage, they were all defeated, with tens of thousands of casualties alone. He did not have such strong ability to supplement. At this time, Murong Jun's total of only 150,000 troops were all pressing on the front line from Changshan to Lukou. In addition, there was also a part of Zhongshan. Youzhou was the rear guard, which was the guard against Tuoba Shiyijian, but he had the natural danger of military control, and ten thousand soldiers were enough to guard Youzhou City.

However, unexpectedly, Yang Feng made an Incheon-style wing landing and rushed straight to Youzhou along Gushui.

Yang Feng continued to move forward through Quanzhou.

He arrived at Anji just before dark on this day.

The magistrate of Anci also surrendered. This is not the first time these guys surrendered. Before this, this was Ran Min's territory. Wang Wu, who died in Lukou, was Ran Min's governor of Youzhou...

Of course, it was also from Later Zhao before.

After Murong Jun went south, Wang Wu was unable to resist in Youzhou and fled to Baolukou. In order to control the place, most of the local officials who were originally local tyrants were retained. They did not resist the Yan army at the beginning, and of course they would not resist Yang Feng now. After all, this was their old master. Yang Feng, who was not blood-broken in this way, kept moving a hundred miles away from Youzhou City, and then continued to move forward, riding on the southeast wind and the rising river in summer, arrived in Lu County or Tongzhou the next afternoon. At this time, he was fifty miles away from Youzhou City.

At this time, Murong Jun in Zhongshan City had just learned that he had landed in Tianjin.
