We crossed the river and everything went smoothly.
When we docked, even the tidal flat pier on the north bank opened up by the reed swamps was greeted by people who had crossed the river in advance.
Everything looks perfect.
"I'm out of the cabin and feeling fine."
When he got out of the "flagship" cabin, Li Jie was very happy and in a good mood.
But "Xia Liu" Master Ba's expression was very rich, and he seemed to be sweating faintly.
The fleet was reorganized, with each "sand field" as a unit, and supervised by the "White Sand Warrior", meandering forward like long snakes.
It is some distance away from Hangou, but because it has natural waterways, Zepitang Lake is like a pearl, embedded in a large number of coastal and river areas.
Unlike Jiangnan, swamps, tidal flats, and reed swamps can be seen everywhere in Jiangbei.
After walking out of the cabin, you can see red-crowned cranes, egrets, field snipes and other birds as far as the eye can see. In the distance, among the calamus-like water plants, there are also animals such as tapirs and guinea pigs.
There are groups of them, and the numbers are quite astonishing.
If you want to walk on land, you can easily complete the geographical crossing, but the degree of difficulty is not small.
"Xia Liu, this should be what you call the 'Niaoyi Dazhen'."
"Well, it is Dacheng, but it is Dacheng..."
Young Master Ba was sweating a lot more.
The so-called "big dam" is a large earth dam, which is an important part of water conservancy projects. The further strengthening of the dam is called a weir, and the water conservancy regulation function of the weir will be more.
In the core area south of the Yangtze River that Wu ruled, there were a large number of "big rivers". Together with the natural waterways, a large number of canals and artificial ditches were formed. It was on this basis that a large amount of cultivated land was transformed, ensuring that
The population of Wu increased.
The "Huaiyi" also transformed their living environment, but the "Huaiyi" were besieged by large, medium and small countries. Their main living area was actually in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, and they did not even dare to approach the Xu State.
However, due to exchanges with big countries, the "Huaiyi" also absorbed advanced cultural technology. Wu State was able to dig ditches, build dams, and they were also able to carry out smaller-scale water conservancy projects.
Different tribes naturally formed around these transformed lands.
Among them, the tribe that already had a relatively "fertile" land was called the "Baiyu clan" and was one of the "Nine Barbarians on Huaishang". Because the "Baiyu clan" often used bird feathers to decorate themselves, the state of Wu also called them "the Baiyu clan".
Bird Yi".
The general route to "Baiyushi" is to go directly north from the "Black Jiaosha" area to cross the river. After seeing the artificially built "Dadi" on the north bank, pass the "Dadi" and follow the "Baiyushi" slightly
By sailing all the way north on the repaired Jiangbei Waterway, you can reach the largest trading market of the "Baiyu Clan".
That is their Luyi.
It is true that there are big deer on the Huai River.
After Li Jieqian supported "Black Dragon Sand", part of the compensation was elk.
These elk were robbed or traded by "Black Jiaosha" from Jiangbei.
Moreover, the people of "Black Jiaosha" also said that "Baiyu clan" drinks more deer milk. What does this mean? It means that "Baiyu clan" has been able to breed deer herds.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to be famous for "drinking more deer milk".
It was also through this third party's intelligence that Li Jie further determined that what Master Ba said was true. After owning a large number of deer, it was not a big deal for one or two to have albinism.
As for catching in the wild... Generally speaking, wild animals with albinism will not live long, unless they have special survival skills, such as being particularly ferocious, particularly large, or particularly cowardly.
"Under the willow tree, there is a river bend in front, with many reeds and calamus. Oops! There is a tapir among the reeds!"
Young Master Ba told Village Chief Li that the reed swamps in Jiangbei are awesome, and there are tapirs hanging out there. In addition to tapirs, there are also rats.
At first, Village Chief Li thought that the rat might be a water rat or an otter.
Who would have thought that it was actually a capybara.
"Yeah. Shou Li's eyesight is amazing. If there is a tapir beast..."
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Master Ba thought to himself: There is a big cave, there are tapir beasts among the reeds, there are rats hiding calamus... It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!
"It's been a smooth journey this time. Xia Liu, this trip went well. I'll take credit for your great contribution!"
"Don't dare..."
While talking, Li Jie looked at the tapirs and capybaras and muttered: "How do these guys eat so much? There are actually wild 'four different' ones. It's really not easy."
Wow!
There was a loud noise, calamus swayed, water splashed everywhere, a beast screamed, and accompanied by cranes and egrets, a capybara with shiny fur was actually bitten into two pieces.
"There is a big dragon——"
"Where did the 'Baiyu Clan' come from?"
"Warning——"
Wuwuwuwu——
As soon as the horn sounded, the fleet immediately paid attention to the warning. These days, traveling through the reed swamps, inland rivers are fine, but places close to the sea entrance are full of dangers.
There are crocodiles in the swamp at all times, not alligators.
Wu Guoduo called them "big dragons" or "sea dragons" for the simple reason that these crocodiles can soak in sea water.
In the "Shaye", most of the armors worn by the salt workers in "Dongsha" are made of bone plates from the "Big Jiao".
Every year, "Dongsha" pays tribute to Gusu, in addition to salt, it is crocodile skulls, because these are high-quality materials used for divination, on the same level as turtle shells and ox shoulder blades.
"Xia Liu!"
Li Jie's face darkened, "Although the 'Baiyu Clan' is close to the sea, it does not go deep into it. How can there be a 'big dragon' raging in the Luyi waterway?"
"Or...or..."
The cold sweat on Young Master Ba's forehead became more and more, and then he whispered, "Maybe if we walk a few more miles, there will be changes?"
"That's fine."
Seeing Young Master Ba's appearance, Village Chief Li thought that this guy wouldn't deliberately trick him. In a place where crocodiles are infested, he, the Young Master, would die first.
Besides, this group of people has "sophisticated" weapons and equipment, but they are still afraid of a mere crocodile?
After continuing for a few miles, he suddenly saw the water village watchtower. Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief: "Xialiu, is Luyi just ahead?"
"..."
Young Master Ba's face suddenly trembled, and his lips trembled as he said, "Xu, Xu is the time."
Village Chief Li laughed: "Xia Liu, you weren't frightened by the 'big dragon', were you?"
After laughing happily for a while, Village Chief Li waved his hand: "Ahead is Luyi. The 'brave man', armed with steel and swords, will seize the white deer and return home!"
"yes!"
Wuwuwuwuwu...
The horn sounded again, and there was a panic and commotion in the water village watchtower ahead. A large number of people quickly left the water village and the houses behind the water village.
Some people punted and left, while others ran away. The whole scene was quite chaotic.
"Um?"
Li Jie frowned slightly, "The 'Bai Yu Clan' is a wealthy family after all, so why are they in such a mess?"
The fleet was so vast that it didn't encounter any resistance. It passed directly through the water village and then landed on the shore.
After landing, they saw the leader of the "Huaiyi" tribe lying on the side of the road in the town early. In front of them were a large number of copper blocks and a white crocodile in a wooden cage.
After the leader jabbered, the leader of "Shaye" who was fluent in the Huaiyi language came to Village Chief Li and translated: "First Li, he said that the 'Baijia clan' is willing to surrender."
"..."
"..."
Baijia family?
Village Chief Li turned around and looked at each other affectionately with Young Master Ba, who was wiping his sweat crazily. After a while, Li Jie held the stone hammer tightly and walked towards Young Master Ba: "'Bai Yu's'... Om? White Deer... Om? Dazun..."
Om..."
"Shou Li, spare your life!"
At that time, Young Master Ba lay on the ground and hugged Li Jie's thigh, "The white dragon is also auspicious, the white dragon is also auspicious..."
After blinking, Village Chief Li put away the stone hammer in his hand: "You... are so damn talented!"
