Feng Xingcuo followed Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling's caravan, with a total of fifty ships and three thousand troops arriving at Liyang where Cao Chong was located. Of course, the destination is Kuaiji.
The reason why it is a caravan is because the troops disguised themselves as guards and followed the ships of the Shouchun caravan. Just like when Sun Quan went to Jingzhou to pick up Sun Shangxiang, he also sent a "caravan". Then Lu Meng captured Jingzhou and still sent a "caravan". So as long as the two sides don't openly disagree, the caravan is the most convenient and most embarrassing cover.
There was no obstruction when passing by the legendary Ruxukou, but the guards at Ruxukou were indeed well prepared with high walls.
In Feng Xingcuo's understanding, Yuan Shu would probably take away this key point into the Yangtze River during this trip, but now it seems that Ruxukou will not give him a chance at all. I don’t know who owns Ruxukou now. It is said that the local villagers are autonomous. Anyway, it definitely does not belong to Sun Quan at the moment.
With Yuan Shu's winning rate in his previous life being close to 0, Feng Xingcuo was really afraid that Ji Ling would send these 3,000 men to attack the city. Fortunately he didn't do anything stupid. If we really want to attack the city, we have to wait until Sun Jian and Sun Ce are sent out. I don’t know how Yuan Shu will send them out. Anyway, Ji Ling and his party are just exploring the way on the bright side.
What about Liyang? Will you take it away easily? Although Yuan Shu and Cao Chong obviously had a sworn uncle-nephew relationship, they should not accept it, but as an army, what we consider is not whether it will happen or not, that is a political issue. The military only considers whether it can, which is a question of capability.
At this time, Cao Chong and Zhou Buyi led a group of officials, soldiers and civilians from Liyang to greet him at the dock. Then there were actually a lot of players waiting in line.
Feng Xingcuo began to estimate the strength of both sides. He first looked at the terrain of the dock. Although it was not wide, it would not be a problem to squeeze in three thousand people. Looking at the dilapidated city wall of Liyang, it doesn't even need engineering ladders. It can be attacked by sending a bunch of people and building ladders. When comparing the number of people, they are not even on the same level.
No matter how you look at it, it’s just an order to take it down!
Feng Xing mistakenly looked at Ji Ling, and his eyes were indeed flickering.
At this moment, Cao Chong's luxurious ship suddenly heard a loud roar, like a sonic bomb exploding, causing everyone present to tremble and feel numb! At the same time, the shock wave of the roar directly caused undulating waves on the river, immediately making the caravan's approach to the shore chaotic and noisy.
The faces of Feng Xingcuo and Ji Ling's army changed!
Then gongs and drums sounded and trumpets blew on the shore.
Cao Chong smiled and said: "Cao Chong has met General Ji. General Ji has come a long way to work hard. Cao Chong is ready to treat you with a small amount of wine. Please!"
Ji Ling regained his embarrassed expression and laughed: "As expected of Mr. Cao, the rumor that Yiye Xianzhou killed Li Shu is known to everyone in Shouchun. Now the people in Shouchun call him Cao Yangzhou."
Cao Chong said with emotion: "Although Cao Chong only has one county in Liyang and cannot deserve the title of Yangzhou, he must strive for this title no matter what."
Ji Ling laughed and said: "That's right, Mr. Yuan has the most important position..."
…
Feng Xingcuo can be regarded as seeing the power of Cao Chongxiang. Such a historical celebrity cannot treat him as a child and teenager. This Liyang cannot be easily captured by troops. And if Cao Chong cannot be captured, then this trip to Kuaiji will be quite troublesome.
Feng Xingcuo was not interested in the on-site greetings of these officials, so of course he only wanted to greet these players.
The player's head was very sensible: "Is it the fault of Shouchun's boss Fengxing? My younger brother Martian Tianlong welcomes the boss! Please take care of me in the future."
Feng Xingcuo said curiously: "I haven't heard of any specialties in Liyang. Why are you here?"
Mars Tianlong smiled and said: "The specialty is water thieves! However, the former water thief Li Shu was killed by Lord Cao, so we will mix with Lord Cao."
Feng Xingcuo asked the topic he was interested in: "The roar just now was very powerful? How was the war?"
Mars was very honest: "I didn't take action! It was the Chaohu Water God. A big catfish overturned Li Shu's boat and swallowed it. So our county is doing one thing now, worshiping the Chaohu Water God, Cao Chong Elephant God, Huangshan Wind God, and There is the Wuzui God, a specialty of Liyang, and the Qingyang Li E God... Except for the Elephant God Cao Chong who is guarding, these other gods have now gone to Kuaiji to play. It is said that they also met the Yuji Dragon God, so we The county also offered the memorial tablet of Yu Ji and Dragon God yesterday."
Feng Xingcuo was confused: "How pitiful is it that you sit down in front of the table in the middle of the night and don't ask about the common people or the ghosts and gods?"
Xingxing smiled and said: "Boss, this is the world of immortals and demons! Not to mention that these water gods have appeared, at least the elephant gods can appear at any time, and they are regarded as the beasts that protect the city. Even if they are not effective, they still have to be worshiped. This is a This kind of organizational form, as long as it can be organized, it will be convenient to do other things. I am afraid that it will be a mess and cannot be directed. "
Feng Xing smiled and said, "Brother, you understand very well!"
Xingxing smiled and said: "So, regarding General Ji's incident this time, the two prodigies Cao Chong and Zhou Buyi have actually thought of a countermeasure, which is to let Mr. Yuan take advantage of his large population, publicize it more, and worship Yu Jilong together. God, and all the water gods. In this way, Yu Ji Dragon God will naturally know who is good to her, and there is no need for General Ji to fight for it. It will be safe for the boss to follow the team."
Feng Xingcuo's brows jumped: "But if worshiping gods doesn't work..."
Xingxing smiled and said: "Give me a subsidy. Whoever worships you most will be rewarded by Mr. Yuan with a few copper coins."
Feng Xing was overjoyed: "Then I'm afraid there are too many people cheating on subsidies."
Xingxing smiled and said: "Why not? We have to let the people have some money so that they can afford to buy things, right? Have you heard about what happened in Chengdu? It's just that Daolanglongxing mobilized all the players in Chengdu to worship. The City God is the God of Wealth. There are not even copper coins in Chengdu. They just print silver notes with white slips, which can cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands at every turn."
Feng Xingcuo was really surprised: "I've been on the boat for the past two days, and I really didn't know this news!"
Martian got excited: "So, we can also play like this. Anyway, Wuyue people like to worship the God of Wealth. There are four Gods of Wealth: Fan Li, Helu, Fu Chai, and Liu Bi. So we have only one more group. Let's Wouldn’t it be enough if Mr. Yuan canonized all these water gods as water gods of wealth? Mr. Yuan has already canonized them, so Yu Ji is still not moved?"
Feng Xing was overjoyed: "Brother, you are really buried in this small county!"
Xing Xing smiled and said: "Don't bury it, don't bury it, you can hang out with the prodigy, and you will have an enlightenment! Anyway, this is what Cao Chong will discuss with General Ji later. Also, Cao Chong has even thought of an excuse for General Ji's next move - —Find Emperor Yu!"
Feng Xing was surprised: "A Yue warship from the Spring and Autumn Period?"
Xingxing smiled and said: "Yes, this is better than the uproar in Jiangdong that Yuan Shu is coming to snatch Yu Ji and seize the territory, right?"
Feng Xingcuo's brows jumped: "What if Mr. Yuan really wants to seize the territory? Has Cao Chong thought about it?"
Xing Xing was really happy: "I really don't know about this! But this reversal is still interesting. Although people here are talking about what Yuan Shu wants to do, they may not really take it seriously. There are so many immortal magicians in Kuaiji, and Yuan Shu still What can you do?"
It seems clear that Feng Xing was wrong. These were all due to the fact that Yuan Shu had Sun Ce and Sun Jian. Even if you think about it, you can't imagine that the father and son are covered in black light. The other generals are just generals with halos. They are covered with light! Therefore, Yuan Shu knew that others looked down on his fighting skills, so he deliberately acted stupid, so he came here to act stupid...
Xing Xing smiled again and said, "Yesterday, the big boss Sima Gang did something wrong. The sedan he brought out was really Cai Wenji."
Feng Xingcuo's scalp was numb: "Do you believe it?"
Xingxing smiled and said: "As long as the benefits are in place, you still have to pretend to believe if you don't believe it. Isn't this just worshiping gods?"
Feng Xingcuo was very pleased: "Okay, this is how it will be arranged."
