Chapter 2066 Zhou Yu VS Fu Jian


    Chapter 2064: Zhou Yu VS Fu Jian


    Under Zhou Yu''s guidance, after three days of sailing, the fleet finally arrived at the coast of Liaodong County.


    Zhou Yu did not immediately let Xuanyuan land, but sent ten small boats to explore the shore. After ensuring that there were no traces of Qing spies within twenty miles of the radius of the shore, he was completely relieved and let Gongsun Xuanyuan lead the army to land.


    After three days of sailing at sea, most of the 20,000 elite troops led by Xuanyuan were vomited and were deeply afraid of the sea.


    As soon as he heard that he was about to land, all the soldiers were ecstatic and escaped from the boat like they were escaping, not even willing to stay for a moment.


    After landing, the army''s condition improved significantly, but many people still had weak steps, nausea and nausea, and obviously had not recovered completely.


    And not only the soldiers, but some of the war horses also had seasick reactions.


    How can war horses carry supplies in such a state?


    How can soldiers in this state march and fight?


    Xuanyuan was anxious after seeing this scene. He expected that soldiers would react seasickness after going to sea, but he did not expect that there would be so many people, and there was no improvement after going ashore.


    Zhou Yu looked like he was accustomed to this and comforted him with a smile: "General Xuanyuan, this is a normal reaction. In just one or two days, the soldiers and war horses will recover on their own."


    Hearing this, Gongsun Xuanyuan felt relieved. The recovery time was only one or two days, which had little impact on the overall plan.


    Zhou Yu said again: "General Xuanyuan, next, this general led his army to feint attack Liaoxi County. The day of landing is scheduled to be two days later. At that time, the Qing army in western Liaoxi will definitely move in the atmosphere and come to surround our army.


    You must seize this opportunity and escape into Black Mountain before this, so that you can safely detour to Lu Long. ”


    Gongsun Xuanyuan grabbed Zhou Yu''s hand and said seriously: "Don''t worry, Governor Zhou, Xuanyuan Ding will not let your efforts be wasted."


    "Um."


    After all the supplies on the ship were moved, Zhou Yu led the navy back the same route, but his destination was not Beihai Water Village, but Liaoxi County.


    I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or God’s blessing.


    When Zhou Yu came, the waters in western Liaoning were still stormy, but when he returned, the wind was sunny, which provided great convenience for fleet navigation. He arrived at the destination, Chrysanthemum Island one day in advance.


    Liaoxi County is different from Liaodong County. Liaodong County is a large county in Youzhou, with a total of eleven counties under its jurisdiction. There are only five counties in Liaoxi County. Like Youbeiping, they are all poor counties with a large land and sparsely populated population.


    The five counties in western Liaoning are: Yangle, Linyu, Feiru, Haiyang and Lingzhi.


    Among the five counties, Yangle County is the capital of Liaoxi County, and Feiru County is the closest county to Lulongsai. However, the Qing army''s troops in western Liaoning are mainly concentrated in the Feiru area in the western part of the country, in order to ensure the safety of Lulongsai.


    If Zhou Yu dared to land on the coast of Feiru County, he would probably be discovered immediately after he got ashore. At that time, he would either be surrounded or driven back to the sea in shame, and would not have the effect of helping Xuanyuan attract firepower.


    The Qing army''s troops in western Liaoning were concentrated in the west, while the distribution of troops in central and eastern Liaoning was relatively empty, so landing in the central and eastern regions was a good strategy to attract the Qing army in western Liaoning.


    The reason why Zhou Yu did not land directly but came to Juhua Island was because Juhua Island was an island under Leyang County and is also the largest island in the western Liaoning waters.


    If you capture this island, it is equivalent to telling the Qing army that Zhou Yu is coming, and it will also give the Qing army an illusion that the Qin navy will use this as a stronghold to fight a protracted war with the Qing army in western Liaoning. Although Juhua Island is the largest island in western Liaoning, western Liaoning is a barren county with a total population of only 50,000, so there is naturally not much population on Juhua Island.


    The total area of ??Juhua Island is only 20 to 30 miles, and there are only less than 500 islanders in total. Naturally, it is impossible to stop Zhou Yu''s naval army. With the scale of the Qingzhou naval army, the entire island can even be blocked.


    When the Qin army warships arrived at Juhua Island, the sea people on the island were shocked. They had never seen such a big battle in their lives. In addition, the Shanghai Island was blocked by the Qin army, and they could not escape even if they wanted to run away. How could they dare to resist? Naturally, they took the initiative to ask Zhou Yu to surrender.


    In this way, Zhou Yu occupied the largest island in western Liaoning without abandoning his troops. However, during this process, several carrier pigeons were released by the Qing Dynasty on the island.


    Lu Junyi, who was quick-witted and quickly saw this scene, immediately led his bow and shot several people, but when he was about to shoot the last one, he was stopped by Zhou Yu.


    Zhou Yu deliberately let the pigeon go away in order to expose his whereabouts to the Qing Dynasty. He wanted the Qing Dynasty to know that Zhou Yu was coming and that he was about to attack western Liaoning, but the Qing Dynasty did not know what he intended.


    Zhou Yu looked at the western Liaoning continent in the distance, smiled and ordered, "Let''s land in western Liaoning after a day of rest."


    "No."


    As Zhou Yu expected, the high-level Qing dynasties in western Liaoning were shocked after receiving the letter from Feige from Juhua Island.


    Learning that Zhou Yu had captured Juhua Island instead of landing directly in western Liaoning, so as to catch his side off guard, the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty subconsciously thought that Zhou Yu wanted to use Juhua Island as the rear of hoarding materials in order to fight a protracted war with the Qing army in western Liaoning.


    Since I don’t know where Zhou Yu would land, and the Qing army did not have a navy to counterattack Juhua Island, Fu Jian, the commander of Liaoxi appointed by Nurhaci, could only order the defenders in various places to guard the death. Once the Qin army was found to land, they immediately ignited the beacon tower and waited for Zhou Yu to land in western Liaoning on his own initiative.


    Zhou Yu did not let Fu Jian wait for a long time. The day after he captured Juhua Island, he led his troops to land in western Liaoning. Moreover, the landing location was not Feiru, but Yangle, the county seat, which scared Fu Jian and other senior officials.


    According to the speculations of the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty, even if the Qin navy landed in the rear, it was to sneak attack Lu Longsai to cut off the rear of the front-line army, so it deployed heavy troops in the western part of Liaoxi County in advance.


    The Qing Dynasty had already laid a net of heaven and earth, but although the Qin army has arrived now, its target is not the west, but the central and eastern regions.


    This made the preparations before the Qing Dynasty suddenly turn into useless work, as if he was hitting cotton with all his strength.


    "Zhou Yu must have seen through our army''s intentions and knew that Fei Ru was ambushing, so he did not dare to land in Fei Ru, and instead raid the rest of western Liaoning to disturb the rear of our army." Fu Jian said with a frown.


    "What should I do now?" Fu Jian''s brother Fu Fa asked.


    Fu Jian didn''t say anything, thinking about countermeasures in his heart, but his younger brother Fu Rong said, "Brother, since it''s impossible to ambush the Qin army, it''s better to transfer some troops from the west and strangle the Qin army as soon as possible to prevent the Qin army from causing disaster in western Liaoning."
