Wei and Jin cooks

A young general walked towards Director Wang and others. After a while, Zhao Jiajun quickly took over the nearby roads, hills and docks. The nobles and common people who were standing on the roadside and on the mountainside watching the excitement were gathered in several places.

If you want to watch the excitement, you have to stay in the places they have designated, and you are not allowed to stand randomly.

Although the Zhao Jiajun who came across the river treated them politely, they did not drive them away rudely.

Zhou Wei was mixed in the crowd and saw Zhao Jiajun running toward them. The crowd behind him was a little commotion. Many people wanted to turn around and leave, but were quickly stopped. "Are you going to stay and watch the fun, or are you leaving?"

"Watching the fun? Can I, I, stay... to watch the fun?"

"Okay, but you have to go there in case there are more and more people and there will be a stampede."

When the people heard this, they immediately became excited and refused to leave. They followed the instructions and changed places, and then stood on tiptoes to continue watching the fun.

Zhou Yi was mixed in, suspecting that Zhao Jiajun was taking advantage of changing everyone's places to observe whether they had weapons on them, and to take the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the terrain.

Sure enough, when the ship docked for the second time and brought more soldiers, a young general had already led people to take over the area, and King Langya's general Zhou Chong followed him

Zhou Wei couldn't help but look at the young and handsome general and asked the soldiers maintaining order nearby, "Who is that general?"

The soldier took one look and said proudly: "It's our General Zhao Shi."

Zhou Yi thought thoughtfully, are you a descendant of the Zhao family?

I heard that he was very useful under Zu Ti.

Did Zhao Hanzhang place his own forces in various armies?

"You are young and promising. I wonder if you can get a wife?"

Soldier: "No."

He looked Zhou Wei up and down and thought he was too slovenly, so he said, "You don't have to think about it. Our general has a high level of vision and most people don't like him."

Zhou Wei: ...He is very ordinary, but his niece is beautiful and virtuous.

Zu Ti took the third boat ashore. As soon as he arrived, Director Wang and Liu Wei came forward to greet them. Zhou Wei only glanced at them from a distance and then told the soldiers surrounding them to go back to the city. The soldiers looked at them. Just give way after passing him.

Five miles from the shore to Jiankang City, there is a Zhao Jiajun soldier guarding every ten steps. People coming and going can only take the official road and cannot walk through the wild, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation.

Zhou Wei got on the bullock cart, looked back at the orderly shore, and said to his entourage: "Go and call Zhongzhi back. I have found a good husband for Min Niang."

Although there were hundreds of ships transporting soldiers and weapons back and forth, the crossing of the river was still not completed until evening. Many nobles and common people also stood on the riverside and watched for a long time.

When everyone crossed the Yangtze River, the shore was full of soldiers.

When King Langya heard about it, he immediately sat up from his bed and quickly called Liu Wei to ask, "How many people are there in total? Who is leading the army?"

Liu Wei said: "There are a total of 200,000 people. Zu Ti is leading the army. I heard that Zhao Hanzhang made him the general marshal of the southern expedition. Zhao Shen, Zhao Ju, Mi Ce and others are generals. In addition to the 200,000 troops crossing the river, there are many people on the other side of the river. There are still 200,000 troops on standby, another 100,000 troops on standby in Yiyang County, plus the 100,000 troops in Jingzhou and various logistics personnel, it is estimated that there are 700,000 troops."

King Langya's back was soaked, and he was extremely frightened. "The 700,000-strong army has approached Jiangnan, but we haven't received any news at all. If I don't surrender, wouldn't it be..."

Liu Wei whispered: "We are under attack from both sides..."

I'm afraid that before Wang Dun dies, these people will die first.

King Langya took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and asked: "Where does Marshal Zu live now?"

"He does not want to come into the city, but is stationed outside the city with the army, saying that he will go to the city tomorrow to pay homage to the king." Liu Wei paused and then said: "He wants to lead the army into the city, and the governor Wang has no objection."

King Langya smiled bitterly, he had brought an army of 200,000 people here, what else could he do if he didn't agree?

"Let him come in and entertain him well. He should stay here for a short time. Wang Dun has already approached Jiankang." After King Langya said this, he felt inexplicably happy. "He thought he was one step ahead of others. But he didn’t know that Zhao Hanzhang was faster than him, and with a weapon like Thousand Miles of Sound, who could beat her? Wang Dun must not have known about Zhao’s army crossing the river at this time.”

He really wanted to see with his own eyes Wang Dun's expression after receiving the news.

This is typical, as long as the enemy has a hard time, you will be happy.

Liu Wei watched silently as King Langya didn't say anything, and couldn't help but curse. No wonder he specifically came to talk to him instead of Director Wang, who had already put aside his past grudges. It turned out that it was not easy to gloat in front of his cousin.

Wang Dun stayed in Jiankang City and was stunned. They ran to the riverside and watched for a while. They saw the generals coming from the north of the Yangtze River chatting happily with Wang Dao Liu Wei. Then they realized that King Langya had joined Zhao Hanzhang. Yes, he dedicated Jiangnan.

The craftsmen were shocked and hurriedly retreated. Then they found their horses and hurried towards Hefei. They had to quickly convey the bad news to the general.

They didn't notice that the number of soldiers who landed on the river had quietly decreased by 2,000. After Zhao Shi sent people to quickly take over the river bank, as soon as Zu Ti landed on the shore, he quietly retreated and walked to the camp being set up.

Lieutenant General Wu Xiao was ready and ran over and said: "Two thousand men have been ordered, and there are still two thousand horses."

Don't underestimate these two thousand horses. If Zhao Shi takes away these two thousand horses, he will take away one-third of the army's horses.

Zhao Shi said: "Each person only takes three days of rations and sets off immediately."

"yes!"

Zhao Shi did not go to see Zu Ti again. He picked up his own baggage, took the warrant brought by Liu Kun, and left quietly with two thousand soldiers and horses.

The soldiers were very fast, and Zu Ti crossed the river with great fanfare. The news of King Langya's surrender could no longer be concealed. Naturally, he would not let the army lose this opportunity, so arrangements were made before crossing the river, so that Zhao Shi would immediately cross the river. He assembled his troops and led a team to the direction of Lujiang River. He only attacked Wang Dun's army along the way and did not have to guard and manage the place. He had everything under control. The purpose was to make Wang Dun confused about their marching route.

Zu Ti, on the other hand, took over the garrison power in the south of the Yangtze River from King Langya city by city. Zhao Hanzhang repeatedly warned that officials at the county magistrate level should be ignored, and the garrison and generals of each city must be replaced by their people.

As long as we have military power, we are not afraid of another rebellion.

In addition, Zhao Hanzhang wants to invite the family of King Langya, Director Wang, Liu Wei and the heads of various noble clans in the south of the Yangtze River to the palace to celebrate the New Year. It is not long before the New Year. This is not close to the capital, so we have to leave as soon as possible.

The cavalry moved quickly, and Zhao Shi had the order personally written by King Langya, so all the cities passing by did not embarrass them and let them pass directly.

In this way, two days later, Zhao Shi and the others arrived at Zhongli County. Wang Dun was not idle these two days. After conquering Hefei, he conquered three counties in a row and was making great progress.

Today they are planning to attack Zhongli County. After defeating Zhongli, they will be one step closer to Danyang County. After Danyang, they will reach Jiankang, and victory is in sight.

At such a happy moment, they bumped into a cavalry head-on. They thought it was Zhongli's ambush. Without thinking, they raised their swords and followed the general forward.

Then they were killed to pieces. The Wang family army that was going to attack Zhongli was scattered. When they escaped, they discovered that they were carrying the "Zhao" flag on their shoulders, not the Jiankang King's flag.

See you tomorrow
