Chapter 151 Zhanbaling

The fleet set sail slowly, and the speed against the current was slow. It would take at least five or six days to return to Jiangzhou.

On the bow of the ship, Gao Junyan smiled and said to Ma Cheng and Cui Shan: "The soldiers in Jiangzhou are in great shape and everyone is full of energy. They are indeed elite soldiers!"

"It's all under the leadership of the prince." Ma Cheng said, cupping his fists in the direction of Jiangzhou.

Gao Junyan nodded and asked, "Can you give me an overview of the situation in Jiangzhou? I hope I can prepare myself to meet the prince."

Gao Junyan was ordered to go to Jiangzhou to inquire about the situation.

But he was not following the orders of King Runzhou, but the orders of his father Gao Liangping.

Gao Liangping knew that Song Yang was still alive, and he already had some thoughts in mind.

If King Runzhou failed to defend Jiangning in the end, he would not mind running away to Jiangzhou to continue being his grand master.

Ma Cheng thought for a while, he was going to Jiangzhou anyway, so it didn't matter if he talked about unimportant things now.

So I told Gao Junyan.

After the fleet left, King Runzhou in Jiangning City breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he got enough bows and arrows, and with these equipment, at least he didn't have to worry about harassment by the sailors in Jiangbei.

In this way, a lot of people can be freed up to support Changzhou.

Xue Wencheng of Changzhou received support and the city defense became impregnable.

And Qian Guangzhi from Jiangbei had no intention of attacking again.

Bows and arrows were given to Ma Cheng and the others, so how could they attack?

Being stationed here can act as a deterrent.

As a result, a strange balance appeared between the two sides.

The king of Suzhou, who had been advancing rapidly all the way, had to stop because he could not win Changzhou.

The offensive and defensive battle suddenly became a protracted battle.

As the fleet moved forward slowly, a speedboat from the upper reaches of Jiangzhou came down the river, bringing the latest news from Yuezhou.

"What? Ran away?" Song Yang looked at the letter in confusion.

I was already prepared for a fight with the thieves, and I had already made dozens of Hongtianlei.

Now you tell me that the thief ran away!

And he ran so smoothly without seeing a single person...

"Haha! Just run away!" Song Yang curled his lips speechlessly.

At least some battle losses were saved.

Continuing reading, the letter also said that Baling was empty and Wang Ran had already brought people to Baling.

"In that case, stop at Baling City so that the waterway from Jiangzhou to Fengzhou can be completely opened."

"Let Fengzhou send a group of refugees there. Relocating by water is much more convenient than relocating from Ezhou."

Wang Ran suggested occupying Baling, and Song Yang immediately agreed and proposed moving people from Fengzhou.

Fengyang City is already overcrowded and the food consumption is too high, so it is better to move some people away.

After all, Baling is only half a day's waterway away from Jiangzhou, so it's easier to transport food.

"I'm afraid Yuezhou won't be able to recover in a short time." Fang Zhe sighed after reading the report.

"Yes. If the population is gone, how can we talk about revival." Song Yang also shook his head.

But being able to occupy Baling is already very good for Song Yang.

"Let Wang Ran find out where those rogue bandits have gone as soon as possible. If the rogue bandits go to Tanzhou, they will occupy Xiangyin and strangle the water and land of the Xiangjiang River."

"They can leave if they want, but it's not easy to come back!"



Soon, Song Yang's reply was sent to Baling.

After receiving the letter, Wang Ran and Lin Yong planned to deliver the letter to Fengzhou.

As a result, before the boat was ready, Niu Laosan came with his people.

He sent someone here a few days ago.

Baling was found to be empty.

He immediately became interested in Baling.

Discuss with Wang Yongning, Xiaofugui and general judge Chen Linyi.

He immediately decided to strike first and sent people directly to occupy Baling...

"Haha! You guys are quick!" Wang Ran looked at Niu Laosan with disdain.

Niu Laosan chuckled and said: "Master Wang, aren't we also trying to consolidate Baling as soon as possible?"

"Huh! You don't need to snatch it away. The prince has already sent a letter to let you occupy Baling." Wang Ran gave Song Yang's letter to Niu Laosan in angrily manner.

Niu Laosan received the letter and immediately said with a happy face: "The prince is still thinking about our Fengzhou!"

"Bah! It's only been a few days and it's just us in Fengzhou!" Lin Yong said with disdain.

"Hehe!" Niu Laosan just laughed.

In the end, Baling was brought into Song Yang's sphere of influence.

Wang Ran, Niu Laosan, and Lin Yong sat together to discuss the next matter.

Detective Ma has found out that the bandits have indeed gone to Tanzhou.

But they had no intention of giving up on Xiangyin.

Xiangyin is a strategic location for controlling the Xiangjiang River. If you capture Xiangyin, you can control the Xiangjiang River.

If the bandits want to come back, they can go down the river at any time.

"Your Majesty meant to occupy Xiangyin, but now it has been seen that the thieves in Xiangyin have no intention of withdrawing," Wang Ran said.

"Didn't the prince say to contact them before to see if they can surrender? Do you think we should give it a try?" Lin Yong suggested.

"Let me tell you, if we directly attack Xiangyin, it will be equivalent to completely capturing Yuezhou!" Niu Laosan said.

Wang Ran closed his eyes and thought for a while and said:

"Hmm. Let me see, let's give it a try. The prince said that there is a new weapon called Hong Tian Lei that has not been shipped yet."

"We should take advantage of this opportunity to talk to them. If we can reach an agreement, we will lose less."

"If we can't talk, we have a reputation as teachers, right? Let the prince use the Hongtian Lei to hit them when the time comes!"

Lin Yong nodded in agreement, and Niu Laosan showed his hands indifferently and said: "Whatever. If we want to fight, we will bring someone with us!"

After confirming that they wanted to contact each other, several people immediately began to discuss who would go to Xiangyin.

But before we set off here, a war was breaking out in Changsha, the capital city of Tanzhou in the south.

A few days ago, the Liu brothers and sisters led people upstream to Changsha, the capital of Tanzhou.

After hearing the news, the King of Tanzhou immediately organized people to resist.

So an offensive and defensive battle broke out in Changsha City.

However, the resistance organized by King Tanzhou was not very strong.

The fighting power of the people was no match for those trained Yuezhou elites.

In addition, 70% of the city wall of Changsha collapsed, and the Yuezhou Army easily entered Changsha City.

The battle lasted only two days, and all resistance forces were completely wiped out.

Fortunately, the Liu brothers and sisters did not follow the path of complete thieves and bandits.

Subordinates are not allowed to burn, kill, and loot.

On the contrary, they also made people appease the people, saying that they were rebels and came to save the people from the fire and water.

The original governance of King Tanzhou was actually quite good, and he treated the people well.

He also led the people to overcome the plague.

It's just that I'm a little short of food now, and I can only drink porridge every day.

But the food in the fields is all there.

As long as everyone in Tanzhou insists on harvesting in autumn, they will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

As a result, the Liu brothers and sisters arrived. Although the people loved the prince, their fighting ability was not very good.

Moreover, the bandits were so numerous that they could not resist for a while.

Mrs. Liu checked the Changsha treasury and found that although there was not much food, it was barely enough for the autumn harvest.

And the crops in Tanzhou’s fields are still there!

It's September now and the harvest will be ready soon.
