Mobilization began at Huaishui Bofu. A few days later, a large number of boats were moored in Baiyi, and the material warehouses on the docks were filled with various materials.
Even if they are just sacks, there are a hundred of them in a pile, neatly stacked in the warehouse.
Just talking about the number of sacks in the Baiyi Wharf warehouse, it is more than 300,000.
These sacks are usually used to build simple fortifications. In addition, only for flood fighting and rescue operations, a large number of sacks are used to fill soil, build dams and walls.
In addition to sacks, there are also straw curtains, straw bales and other materials. The hay that has been stored for a long time comes in handy at this time.
There has been no large-scale flood disaster. Straw curtains, straw bales, etc. are also one of the important materials for building military fortifications.
While other countries have not been able to reproduce the fortifications of the Second Battle of Yangyang, Huaizhong City has once again upgraded its civil work during the river dredging project in recent months.
By organizing large-scale rebels to cooperate with the civilians, they have been able to transform ordinary ditches into communication trenches. The scale is not large, but they are used to fight bad wars. No matter how many troops your hegemonic power has, if you dare to fight back, you will die.
Just to do this level of soil work, the organization level cannot be low, and the training intensity cannot be low.
Soldiers, workers, and civilians at the grassroots level must have a high degree of execution of orders. The most important point is that grassroots officers and civilian leaders must be literate.
Otherwise, when traveling in trenches, you will not even be able to read the road signs, and you will be confused.
As for those at captain level and above, they must be able to read maps. If they cannot understand maps, they also have no idea how to execute and convey orders.
After the commander issued the order, he asked you to go east, but you looked at the map and went to the west to learn. At best, it was incompetence, and at worst, it was delaying the fighter plane.
"The number of boats in Hebei includes two to three hundred large boats and more than a thousand small boats. The warehouses at the docks are full, and the fleet along the coast is even full. Huaishui Bofu has such a heritage!"
"Alas, there is a reply from Datun. Duke Danyang... is still stationed at Datun. The generals of the three armies, Duke Danyang, are not among them."
"ha!"
One person laughed angrily, "This witch from Yingdu is trying to destroy our country!"
"The soldiers at the front are waiting for their lives, but this witch actually named Xiang's villager the 'Yin of Huan Lie'. It's just like what the Huai people said."
"What did the Huai people say?!"
"**——"
Open your mouth and spit out the fragrance, saliva flies everywhere, you can't control your emotions at all, but you still have to control it.
The craftsmen of the Chu State located in Huangcheng now also feel that their activities are restricted. After the military control of Huai Shui Bo Mansion, many things that they could usually do cannot be done now.
The local brave men in Huangcheng strictly inspect the purchase and shipment of goods at the dock.
Some small households directly stay at home according to the rationing system. Unless they are recruited on a construction site, they are strictly prohibited from going out at will.
This makes the main method of activity for the craftsmen to rely on large merchants or local Tu people to hide their identities. At night, they can only send out experts without night blindness to communicate with each other.
But after nightfall these days, even if you don't have night blindness, it's really not easy to find your way in the dark.
In addition, Huai Shui Bo Mansion has set up sentries, many of which are hidden sentries and wandering sentries. No matter how good you are, if you touch in the wrong direction and someone notices the movement, you will basically not be able to escape.
The local brave men may not fight alone, but they don't fight alone at all. The people of Chu also discovered the problem. These brave men would just pick up their bows and shoot wherever they couldn't see.
The five-man team has one crossbow and four bows, three to ten spare bowstrings each, and each person carries ten to twenty eagle feather arrows.
The crossbows of the Jin State did not have fletching, but the crossbows of Huaishui Bofu could be directly mounted on the crossbow machine with eagle feather arrows. The local brave men in Huangcheng did not have the equipment for special crossbow machines without fletching.
No matter how skilled a person is, if five arrows are shot at him, he must be lucky to avoid them. If he is not lucky, he will die just like a porcupine that has lost its feathers.
For the best treatment of skin injuries, you have to go to the health center in Huaishui Bofu. Unfortunately, as long as you go to the health center, your identity will be exposed.
The craftsmen of Chu State are now under great pressure. If it is not particularly important information, they would rather give up than inquire about it.
Over time, in Chu State's Xizuo area, no information was important anymore, so they could all be given up.
Life is important, that's human nature.
"In the past few days, the Wu people have built a pontoon bridge. They are afraid of soldiers from Hebei and are about to go to Henan. In Huangcheng and Xicheng, Jiang Wen, the captain of the new second brigade of martyrs, has used the original Xianguo general Wei Shi as a guard to station in Xicheng, Hebei.
The city is the capital of the Xian Kingdom in Henan, and Jiang Wen is in charge of it himself."
"Is the information accurate?"
"Whether it's accurate or not, the chariot and horse team yesterday was from the newly formed Second Brigade of Martyrs."
Without on-the-spot inspection, we can only rely on guesswork. Anyway, we can use intelligence analysis to cover up the reports from the peak.
What's more, the atmosphere in my hometown is very strange now. The veteran military boss who guarded the tunnel has been marginalized. This kind of mentally retarded operation has never been heard of by the intelligence officers working outside.
It is true that the old rival Jin State sent its young masters abroad; it was also true that the brothers of the monarch were marginalized. But I have never heard that the chief of the border army, especially the leader of the front army, could treat him so coldly.
The Chu spies operating in the Huai River are now most afraid of having their escape route taken, because this is a high probability event.
Yun Zhenlu, the "doctor from the state", had surrendered before, and the Chu spy network in the Huaizhong area was destroyed in half a month. It was all due to Yun Zhenlu.
And Yun Zhenlu is completely incomparable to Dou Shi, let alone the former king's doctor, Danyang Gong Douzun.
"Mr. Danyang...it's so difficult."
Although the market in Huangcheng is still in operation, there are not many people who can actually come out for activities. As for those from Chu State, there are even fewer.
Several Chu people gathered together, and as long as they did not wander around and were monitored by local brave men, they would not be arrested. The Chu people also gave up treatment. If there was evidence from the past and the informant exposed their identities, they would have no choice but to accept their fate.
The evidence is conclusive, just surrender on the spot.
Working for the current Yingdu is a complete loss of blood.
As for family being a hostage, sometimes you really can't control that much.
"I, the great Chu, have millions of soldiers, and there will definitely be righteous men who will come forward to save the common people."
"righteous?"
"..."
It's really embarrassing to mention this. Now when I mention "righteous man", the first thing that comes to mind is Li Jie's lackey; when I mention "loyalty", it's the king of Wu who ordered the strong man to be the king's pioneer.
And Li Jie really did a good job. Not to mention the prestige he gained during the two battles of Biyang. The former king of Biyang is now Dr. Fucheng and the "inspection ambassador" of Xincai, Yubao, and the whole family is still here.
Live well.
The ancestral sacrifices have not been discontinued, and there is more "incense". Now you can go to the Huaishui Goddess Palace to ask the saints to help perform rituals. I heard it is quite effective.
Bless children to be smart and smart, and customers have expressed that it is effective.
"In a few more days, I'm afraid no boats except Huai Shui Bofu will be allowed to pass. This time the Wu people attack Chu, the military front will only be more powerful!"
Many spies have memories of the outcome of the last battle between Wu and Chu.
The ferocity of the Gou Chen monster was too great for the Chu people to resist. If Gou Chen had not been able to effectively rule the Huai River area, with the appetite of this big monster, he might have been able to kill the Chu state.
But even if the old monster didn't kill Chu State, the current "descendant" of the old monster is even more ferocious.
"Everyone, judging from the current mobilization of Jianghuai soldiers, the main force of the Wu people must attack the three passes. The big tunnel and Ming'e will bear the brunt."
"The three passes are not the only access to Chu. After Dou Shi was defeated by the Wu people, the Huai River entered and exited Hengshan, and the Dongling Pass was also unblocked. At that time, the Wu people would attack from the north and south, and Duke Danyang would be alone at the three passes."
The spies also knew very well that if Li Jie wanted to attack the Chu State, he could not leave the troops stationed at the Three Passes alone. The Chu State troops stationed here had very strong combat effectiveness.
Leave it alone and attack the heart of Chu State in the arrogant area. With Douzun's military experience, how could he miss the opportunity to take the back road and attack the rear?
Therefore, in the eyes of the spies, no matter whether Li Jie can now easily travel to the north and south of the Dabie Mountains, he still has to deal with the Chu army in the three passes.
The Chu army at the Three Passes had four thousand serious soldiers in Datun alone. They were the most serious mausoleum divisions of the Chu state.
And this group of people are all Dou family members, so they must be working together, and their morale will not be lowered no matter how hard it is.
The soldiers are of one mind and share the same blood, so they are especially reliable at this time.
"After night falls, order people to go to Zhenyi during the night. Stay at Zhenyi at dawn, then go to the big tunnel to inform Duke Danyang that the Wu people are powerful and will attack the three passes in the near future!"
