"Old Stork River had many names before. Si Shui, Jun Shui, and Xishui were all its previous names. However, it was later officially renamed Lao Stork River because of the green trees on both sides of the river and the habitat of many storks.
The Old Stork River originates from Xiaomiaoling, Luanchuan County, flows southwest to Wulichuan Town, Lushi County, then turns southeast, passes through Zhuyangguan Town, enters Xixia County, reaches Huaishuwa, enters Xichuan County, and passes through Shangji Town to Ma Dian Town flows into Danjiang River.
Because this area was mostly used by civilians, later generations built weirs and dams along the river to divert water to irrigate the fields. Many places have been blocked and no longer active, and war ships can no longer be used.
The Song people had not stationed troops in such a place for hundreds of years, and they had also forgotten that the waterway here could actually be used for navigation.
We only need to dredge and dig the river channel, and then we can go down the river directly into the Qinhuai River and then reach the land of Jiankang.
It was easy to enter the sea from Jiankang. During the melee between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasty established the offshore road from Soochow to Liaodong in order to purchase war horses and other items.
Once I enter the sea, I can go all the way north into Liaodong and return directly to the army. "
Dong Cai took the map and kept writing and drawing for Jin Wushu, telling Jin Wushu and everyone about their next path.
Jin Wushu kept nodding after looking at the map. He once again felt that finding Dong Cai was his great luck, and Jin Wushu also had the character to do whatever he said.
Dong Cai had just finished planning for him here, and then immediately asked Du Chong to lead the navy to attack Han Shizhong who was chasing him. The remaining Jin people immediately jumped ship to dig, and everyone worked together to dredge the river.
He knew his time was really running out.
Yue Fei and Zhao Huan, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, had torn apart their disguise and came to encircle and suppress him. Once the three parties were allowed to join together, they would no longer have any way to survive.
In order to save his life and survive, he had to fight to the death.
Jin Wushu made two preparations. First, he asked Du Chong and Jin Wushu to fight to the death. At the same time, he sent envoys to find Han Shizhong.
He said that he knew that he had no way to survive, and hoped that Han Shizhong would let him live. For this reason, he was willing to give all the gold and silver treasures he had looted in Jiangnan to Han Shizhong.
They are even willing to give away beautiful women, BMWs, etc., just to find a way to survive and ensure that no one knows about it.
Han Shizhong sent the envoy to kill Shen Jiang, and then launched his own fierce attack regardless. His concubine Liang Hongnu, wearing a military uniform, personally played drums in front of the battle to cheer up the army.
A big battle directly beat Du Chong to the point of death. At the same time, Han Shizhong personally rushed into the battle and killed as many as a hundred of Du Chong's men. The army beat Du Chong's improvised naval army into a state of panic.
But the progress of Jin Wushu on the other side is also rapid.
In order to survive, the Jin people exerted unprecedented efforts and courage. They dug a river channel for thirty miles, and then successfully connected the Old Stork River with the Qinhuai River!
The most important thing is that they only spent one night. When Han Shizhong found out about this, he was stunned for a cup of tea. He didn't know why these people were so crazy that they had such ability.
"General, do we still want to pursue you?"
Lieutenant General Yan Yun was a little stunned when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but ask. Now they have entered the Qinhuai River.
If they were to pursue them, it would probably be difficult to prevent them from entering the sea.
"Chase!" Han Shizhong suddenly gritted his teeth, revealing a face full of determination, "This time, a certain family wants to see who is more ruthless!"
Han Shizhong was from an orthodox Western Army background. It can be said that he spent his whole life fighting against Xixia, Liao and Jin people.
This was Ying Ga's first formal contact with water fighting, but Han Shizhong showed his unparalleled talent in water fighting, and he directly started his most exciting battle.
"We have the car and boat in hand, and Yang Qin and Huang Zuo are veterans of the Dongting Lake water village and are proficient in the water village, so Du Chong and others are no match for us.
Now all the vehicles and ships set off immediately, and they must be stopped at the Qinhuai River! "
"Although cars and ships are fast, their attack power is limited after all. If entanglement is acceptable, destruction may not be effective."
"No need to fight to the death, just entanglement!" Han Shizhong's eyes showed a ruthless look, "At the speed of entangling them with cars and boats, all the naval forces rushed over to intercept them.
But we don’t go along the Qinhuai River. We still go the right way and block the entrance to the sea before they do! "
"This is Dajiang..."
"Then the iron rope connects the boat!" Han Shizhong roared, startling many generals under his command.
"Iron ropes and boats are blocking the seaport. A certain family wants to see what else they can do!"
Han Shizhong wants to imitate Cao Mengde's Battle of Chibi, and in this situation this is indeed the best way.
Yang Qin and Huang Zuo rushed over with their troops and horses, and were entangled with Du Chong and Jin Wushu all the way. The Jin people knew that this was Han Shizhong's conspiracy, but they had no choice but to watch worriedly to see if Han Shizhong was behind them. The pursuers appeared.
But in the end, they did not see Han Shizhong from their rear. Instead, after entering Jiankang, they saw Han Shizhong's iron chain blocking the river just before entering the sea.
Cao Mengde's failure in Chibi was due to the southeast wind and the emergence of plague, but now it is different. The wind direction is not conducive to the Jin people, and now Han Shizhong's warship is not afraid of them. Under the continuous fighting, Jin Wushu I can only keep retreating.
Not only that, Yue Fei rushed over at the critical moment.
Yue Fei's pioneer general Dong Xian regained Jiankang and stationed at Niutoushan at the same time. After seeing Jin Wushu, he immediately joined the battlefield and almost killed Jin Wushu directly under the two-phase attack.
This time, Jin Wushu was forced to retreat to Huang Tiandang's dead end. Seeing that he had no chance of survival, Du Chong and Dong Cai finally lost their temper.
Jin Wushu and the many Jin generals under his command were even ready to die for their country.
But Jin Wushu made a last-ditch effort at the critical moment.
Jin Wushu asked people to cross the river in small boats and go ashore. He posted signs and offered rewards everywhere, and recruited people to propose strategies for crossing the river by breaking sea boats. He also offered many heavy rewards.
As long as he can defeat the enemy, he can capture most of them with his golden skills. He also has military beauties to choose from and all the military positions to choose from.
This kind of huge reward made everyone couldn't help but feel surprised.
And in this land in the south of the Yangtze River where the Jinren massacre was raging, some people can no longer restrain their greed.
"Wang Fu, if you dare to accept this golden man's ranking today, you will no longer be my son, and you will... you will never even think of entering my Wang family in this life!"
In a village in Jiankang, a young man was preparing to go out. In front of him was his father, who was over fifty years old. He was holding a wooden stick and looking at his son fiercely.
He was shouting curses and had a fierce look on his face. It was obvious what this guy named Wang Fu wanted to do.
Faced with his father's dissuasion and scolding, Wang Fu, the son, showed no sign of repentance. Instead, he acted as if what he did was the right thing.
"That's a lot of money. As long as we have those things, we can live a good life. Why can't you understand, old man!"
"It's a good day to fart, that's a traitor, that's a bastard, that's a fool!"
"What traitors? What did the Song Dynasty give us and what did they do to us!
Taxes are increased every year, corvee labor is imposed every year, and we work so hard that we still don’t have enough food to eat. How many people in our family have starved to death, almost as many as there are.
I still remember that I had older brothers and sisters.
What now!
My eldest brother starved to death, my sister-in-law died on the way to escape, my nephew also starved to death, my sister was sold, and I am the only one left. You old guy, you still want me to starve to death too! "
"You can't be considered a traitor even if you starve to death..."
"Go away!" Wang Fu suddenly knocked away his father, his eyes full of ferocity, "I would rather be a thief than starve to death here.
You are watching here, I am right, I am right! "
Seeing his son leaving his sight without hesitation, the old man kept crying and crying. He knew that once his son passed away, he would really have no face to see his ancestors.
They fled all the way from Fujian, and their family members almost died along the way.
I thought I would be able to live a good life in Jiankang, but I was surprised to find that life here was not much better than in their hometown.
This kind of disparity makes an old man like him inevitably feel discouraged, let alone a strong young man like Wang Fu.
It would be fine if he was an ordinary person. In the Song Dynasty, there were so many young people who harbored resentment, but the old man knew what his son was capable of.
He has real abilities, but he has... but there is no way out. His character is too... ugh.
A sigh expressed the helplessness of a father. He knew that his son would cause great trouble, and he also knew that his son's departure would really affect the Wang family.
So he decided to hang himself directly from a crooked tree after his son left, using his own waistband, because he didn't even have a rope other than that.
Wang Fu took the list and escaped from the Song army's encirclement, and then came under the Jin's warship, showing a satisfied smile.
"Are your rewards real? I, Wang Fu, am here to receive your rewards!"
"Please come up!" After receiving the news, Jin Wushu immediately shouted, then put down the ladder and directly invited Wang Fu up.
Facing this young man who was dressed in rags and did not look like a wealthy family, Jin Wushu gave him enough respect and even gave him enough assurance.
"If you win, you can join our Kingdom of Great Jin and use the money to buy enough land to live in, servants and concubines.
Then become a general under your command, you can also take this wealth to find a place where no one knows you, and live your own life. "
Jin Wushu pointed to a boatload of treasures and whispered to Wang Fu. At this moment, Wang Fu's eyes really lit up.
