There was still mist in the village in the early morning, but after daylight came out, the fog became thicker and thicker. It seemed that all the fog from Bailu Lake, which was dozens of miles away, was crowded into Dongzhou Village.
In the thick fog that blurred the figure even a few feet away, some unusual sounds came from the depths of the fog, and they became vague and uncertain. No one took them seriously.
After struggling for half a night, after the beauty left early in the morning, Hu You had another beautiful sleep before getting up with full energy. He put on his large fur robe, opened the door and walked to the porch, looking at the mist rolling in the yard.
:
"What a heavy fog!"
"The eldest son is still moisturized at night? The eldest son is really capable now. He torments the little ladies until midnight. Although the little ladies look shameless and seeking death, the sound coming out in the middle of the night is like a kitten meowing.
It seems that the young lady must have been impressed by the eldest son’s kung fu!” A middle-aged man walked over from the corridor of the wing, narrowed his eyes and asked with a lewd smile.
"Of course," Hu You smiled proudly, pointing at the middle-aged scholar and said, "Master Zhou, you are not being honest about listening to others in the middle of the night!"
"Dongzhou Village is a big place, and this Juyi Hall is as small as a country ancestral hall. Do you think I won't listen to the foundation? My eldest son, don't you say that you are wanton and wanton, and tortured the little lady until she meowed like a kitten | Spring Like
Yes, but they blame us for listening to others, this is unfair!" Master Zhou complained with a smile.
"Haha..." Hu You laughed loudly and said, "When this trip is completed and we return to Chishan, I will arrange for two young women to warm your bed, Mr. Zhou. I know how you like it, but it is white and fat.
You're so charming, I'm just worried about how your skinny and skeletal body will be squeezed into shape by then!"
"Thank you for your concern, eldest son. I will keep this in mind..."
Master Zhou asked with a wink,
"Oh, by the way, Fanjianglong's two ladies from Yazhai are even more beautiful, especially the eldest lady, who seems to be over thirty years old, but when I took a quick glance, her face was so tender that it looked like water could be squeezed out of your hands.
, Eldest Young Master, do you have any ideas?"
"..." Hu You frowned and said, "Although Jiang Ang is bound to die if he falls into the hands of Chu Shan, his reputation in Dongting Lake and Jingjiang is still there, so it may not be easy to attack him at this time!"
No matter how hard Hu You thinks in his heart, he still has a lot of scruples in his actions.
"The two young ladies in Fanjianglong's house are widows. Of course, the eldest son must treat them with great courtesy and protect them properly from being bullied by others."
Master Zhou winked and came up with an idea,
"In short, the eldest young master will hold them in his hands first. In the future, everyone will gradually forget about Fan Jianglong, or these two young ladies are surrounded by people arranged by the eldest young master.
No matter how you scream, no one outside can hear you, but that’s it, right?”
"Haha, Master Zhou is still smart. No wonder my father asked you to join the army for me this time," Hu You laughed loudly and said, "Now that things are done, I think you can just change your name to Zhou Canjun in the future!"
"Everything must be promoted by the eldest son!" Master Zhou cupped his hands and said with emotion, "This time it is done, Chishan Village can get some blood back!"
The Dongjing Allied Forces have launched large-scale operations around Dongting Lake and are about to enter their fourth year. The leaders of various villages have long since realized that whoever wants to be more powerful must occupy a larger territory and occupy more
of young and healthy population.
Hu Danzhou can occupy the third position in the Dongjing Allied Forces. There are many more people in Chishan Village than in Dongzhou Village. At the same time, the hungry people are allied to him. The scale of the refugees is even larger, as many as 40,000 to 50,000. But this time in Hubei
The loss of 2,000 men and horses in the north is still heartbreaking.
This time, Hu You was sent to lead his men and horses to transport two to three thousand young men and women from Dongzhou Village back to Chishan. He left the old, weak, sick and disabled in Dongzhou Village and left them to Mazhanjiang to take care of. This was Hu Dangzhou's plan.
plan.
Hu Dangzhou never thought about what accident would happen.
What accidents could happen?
The big and small leaders of Dongzhou Village were either dead or imprisoned in Nancai Prison together with Jiang Ang. There were more than 2,000 young and strong Dongzhou Village in total. They lost nearly a thousand people at once, and the remaining people
If you don’t even know how to live, how could you refuse Chishan Village’s takeover?
It was precisely because he had a winning chance that Hu You did not refuse Ma Zhanjiang's offer of his concubine to sleep with him. He only regarded this trip as a rare break between soldiers and horses - many people in Dongzhou Village hoped to take away the old, weak, sick and disabled.
You wouldn't forcefully suppress it, just wanted to delay it for a few days, waiting for everyone to calm down before talking.
Hu You ordered the kitchen to prepare some food and wine, and summoned the two generals to have a morning drink in the house.
At this time, the fog in the yard slowly dissipated. Hu You thought that he had been waiting for a few days and was about to call Mazhanjiang to discuss transporting the first batch of young adults to Chishan. Suddenly he heard a low horn sound coming from the north.
Come.
Hearing the sound of the horn, Hu You stood up from behind the case and asked in shock: "What's going on? Officers and soldiers are attacking from the north!"
Dongzhou Island, also known as Dongzhou Sand, is located to the north of Bailu Lake, only three or four miles away from Changlin Town on the north shore, while Hualing County in Jingzhou is more than 20 miles north of Changlin Town; Jingzhou Governance
Jiangling County, where it is located, is forty miles northwest of Bailu Lake.
In addition to the waterway connecting Bailu Lake to the Jingjiang River, there is also a Nanxiang River in the northwest that originates from the east foot of Jingshan Mountain, runs through Bailu Lake and flows downstream from Hong Lake and Luhu Lake, and finally flows into the Han River next to the southern city wall of Hanyang.
As the Han River enters the territory of Yingzhou and turns to flow southeast, it is resisted by terrain such as the Jishan Mountain (Green Forest Mountain) on the northeast coast. Whenever there is a major flood in the upper reaches of the Han River, the floodwaters nine out of ten will pour towards the southwest bank, passing through the large and small rivers.
Small holes and shallow silt areas are poured into the Bailu Lake, Hong Lake and Lu Lake connected by the Nanxiang River, and then flow into the Jingjiang River.
This happens about once every seven or eight years or every four or five years.
This resulted in unpredictable changes in the water courses of Nanxiang River and other rivers - generally speaking, it was impossible for officers and soldiers to attack from the northeast or northwest at this time.
Master Zhou was also greatly shocked and hurriedly sent people to investigate the situation.
Dongzhou Village is three hundred steps deep, and Juyi Hall is located in the center of the village, less than 150 steps away from the Beizhai Gate where the wharf is. I sent someone to inquire about the situation, and they came back with a face full of shock within a cup of tea.
Report:
"Jiang Ang, the dragon that has conquered the river, is back and is gathering the villagers at the North Village Gate!"
"What, how is it possible?" Hu You asked in disbelief.
When Panlong Village fell, Jiang Ang took a galley to break out of the siege in the direction of Xundu Lake. He was ambushed at Panlong Lake and Xundu Lake. Three people in the same boat fell into the water and finally escaped to Xundu Village. They all clearly saw Jiang Ang's fall.
into the hands of the Chushan Army.
Therefore, even if Jiang Ang is not beheaded, there is no way he can escape easily.
You can imagine Hu You's shock when he heard that Jiang Ang appeared in Dongzhou Village one month after the fall of Panlong Village and blew the horn at the gate of Beizhai to summon the villagers.
Jiang Ang was a fierce general in the Dongjing Allied Forces. He was gifted with supernatural power, superb martial arts, and tyrannical skills. His rod was eight feet long, and his thick iron rod weighed more than forty pounds. No one in the eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake was his opponent.
If at any other time, such a brave general was able to escape from the hands of the officers and soldiers and return to Dongting Lake, as a member of the Dongjing Allied Forces, Hu You would certainly be happy for him, but at this time, he led his troops to take over Chiang Kai-shek's army.
The remnants of Ang!
How can we keep playing like this?
"You two quickly go and reorganize your troops, and follow me to see how Jiang Ang escaped!"
Hu You frowned and ordered his two generals to rectify their troops quickly to prevent any changes.
When Jiang Ang returned from Nancai, he must have known that they were in the village, but Jiang Ang did not come to meet them. He immediately blew the rallying horn to summon the villagers. It was hard for Hu You to imagine that Jiang Ang was not prepared for their sudden sudden appearance.
Get angry.
Since Jiang Ang was so wary, Hu You certainly did not dare to take it lightly and rushed directly to Beizhaimen to meet Jiang Ang with his three or five subordinates.
He was also afraid that Jiang Ang would suddenly get into trouble.
"Send someone quickly to invite Ma Zhanjiang." Master Zhou said.
"Is Ma Zhanjiang still trustworthy?" Hu You asked hesitantly.
In order to win over Mazhanjiang, in addition to promising him a place in Chishan Village, he also promised that Dongzhou Village would continue to be in charge of Mazhanjiang. In order to show his sincerity, Hu You led 200 Chishan troops to station in Dongzhou Village, but did not interfere with the village.
All matters, big and small, are handled by Ma Zhanjiang.
Jiang Ang suddenly appeared and returned to Dongzhou, and immediately stood on the North Village gate and blew the horn to summon the villagers. Hu You suspected that Ma Zhanjiang's diligence in the past few days was intentional.
"If Ma Zhanjiang is really loyal to Fanjiang Dragon, there is no need for a surprise attack when Jiang Ang returns to Dongzhou Village." Master Zhou said decisively.
Mazhanjiang stayed behind in Dongzhou Village, with more than a hundred men and horses in his hands. After the news of the tragic defeat of Panlong Village came back, Mazhanjiang urgently recruited a group of young and strong villagers, and expanded his command to 300 men.
In other words, if Ma Zhanjiang is really loyal to Jiang Ang, the Dragon Fan, and Jiang Ang can return to Dongzhou Village openly, why is there any need for a "raid"?
Besides, if Ma Zhanjiang really wants to act, is it necessary to play a honey trap and give up his little wife to curry favor with them and slack off them?
"Ma Zhanjiang was captured by Jiang Ang and was hung on the flagpole in front of Beizhai Gate. It is said that he colluded with the government, which caused the disastrous defeat of Panlong Village..." said the person who reported the news.
Where does this come from?
Hu You was slightly startled and looked at Master Zhou in confusion.
"..." Master Zhou took a breath and said, "Although Jiang Ang is not stupid, his actions this time are terrifyingly cautious. Young Master, you must not go to see Jiang Ang easily..."
"When I order all the troops and horses, are you afraid that the dragon will eat me?" Hu You said with a cold smile.
