Previously, the four families attacked Yuan and Chen Yuanlong led the Xuzhou naval army to set off from Zhuyuwan, passed through Zhongdu River, connected to Sheyang Lake in the north, and entered Huaihe North to Weikou. Later, they went up the Huaihe River, and advanced together with the Qingzhou Zhufeng Fleet, heading straight to Shouchun.

The Shouchun Navy, drilled ships and sank rivers, and set up defenses layer by layer. Inside and outside the city, ships gathered in all sizes. Yuan Shu even recruited civilian ships, and iron chains were connected to block the waterway. On and off the ship, the water camp was inside and outside, and the machinery and weapons were standing in the middle of the water camp. Flints roared, shooting back and forth, causing damage to each other.

Any ship sinks, it will block the waterway. Large ships cannot pass through. The four coalition forces only send light boats to raid. In this way, the defenders in Huainan are in the mood. The light boats are small and cannot be equipped with crossbows, stone chariots, etc., and the machines and weapons are sharp. The boats and ships arrive at each other and fight with hand and hand. Huainan's heroes will fight with one enemy, and will not be at a disadvantage.

In dozens of battles, all of them failed to break through. The outer ring defense line of Shouchun was indeed prepared for any eventuality.

It is said that when Cao Mengde attacked Shouchun, the two rivers of Shouchun were surrounded by Huai River and there was no danger to defend. Moreover, most of the ships in Huainan were recruited by Yuan Shao and were recruited across the river, and the defense was empty. Then Cao Mengde dug the Huan Canal. Now the inner and outer Huan Canal was transformed into Huancheng Port. Yuan Shu placed heavy weapons everywhere in the machinery and strictly guarded them to death, which was incomparable to the previous one. The four coalition forces did not have the ability to capture Huan Canal.

The four families were besieged and each suffered damage. Indeed, the Huainan naval army had one enemy and four more casualties. At this time, I suddenly saw the Xuzhou naval army leading to the camp and left. How could I not cheer and shake the sky at the top of Shouchun city?

Under the command of General Zhennan, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the chief generals of the Jingzhou Navy, hurried into the camp to meet him. Chang Tu Erlong, then reported to Xuzhou's military situation.

I was shocked to hear that Cao Mengde had faked the way to destroy Guo and flooded Xia Pi. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were shocked and doubted. Could it be that if it were rumored that Cao Mengde and Yuan Gonglu secretly formed an alliance. Thinking deeply again, Chen Wangpeng was stabbed by someone, and there was something else.

The two dragons in Changtu took great pains to win. Now, Shouchun City is close to you. How can you give up halfway? So you pleased Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to calm down the morale of the army. The three families have enough to defeat Yuan Shu.

Chudu Shouchun.

Yuan Shu and his civil and military officials kept guarding the four gates day and night. The soldiers did not disarm their armor and waited for the dawn. A few days ago, they received a secret report from Yuan Shao. They were sent to Jingnan soon and went to surround Wei to rescue Zhao. After hearing this, the Jingzhou navy must return to help at night. The four coalition forces will defeat themselves without attacking.

With a good plan, he surrounded Wei and saved Zhao. Yuan Shu received a reply and sneered.

I thought that the Jingzhou naval army would retreat first. Unexpectedly, I heard that Cao Mengde flooded Xia Pi and Xuzhou naval army would retreat first. At this time, Yuan Shao had not yet launched his troops. Yuan Shu smelled a trace of his chance to win.

He hurriedly ordered his advisers to enter the arch tower to discuss together.

The chief minister Yang Hong, Han Yin, the chief clerk Yan Xiang, the chief clerk Hu Wuban, and the Fuling prime minister Xu Shao, were all listed.

"The Si River was destroyed and the flood broke out. In Xia Pi City, the water was accumulated and the water was lost. The news was heard, and it was done by Cao Mengde." Yuan Shu was straight to the point.

"How wonderful!" Chief Secretary Yang Hong was very happy: "There are two of the four families, and only two dragons left in Changtu."

Yuan Shao passed on the letter, and Yuan Shu's confidant had already known him. Therefore, the chief minister Yang Hong knew that he would go to the two families.

"The letter from Jiangdong was sent, and the soldiers were sent out in three days." Han Yin, the detached leader, said: "In this way, the victory and the defeat will be determined."

Yuan Shu did not comment and looked at the chief clerk Yan Xiang: "There can be a strategy to win the battle."

The chief clerk Yan Xiang replied: "To retreat as advance, to pretend to be defeated and lure the enemy."

"I hope to hear the details." Yuan Shu flashed.

Let’s talk about the Xuzhou naval army, who drove the camp overnight, went down the Huai River, passed through Sikou, and entered the Si River northwest.

"Si River is southeast, passing through the north of Jiaocheng, and flowing southeastward into Huai." It is also said: "The meeting between Huai and Si is Jiaocheng, with the left and right rivers intersecting the wings of the two rivers. The two are where they enter, which is called Sikou."

"The Book of Han·Geographical Records" also records: "The Si River goes southeast to Suiling and enters Huai, passes through six counties (there is also the Si River Kingdom), and travels a thousand one hundred and ten miles." It gathers the Si River, Bian, Tong, Yi, etc., and all the waters enter Huai River. It is the largest branch of the Huai River. It is also called "Huaisi". There has been a saying that "follows the rivers and seas and reaches Huai and Si".

The boat passed Xiaxiang County and entered Xiapi boundary.

Thanks to the Ji-style ships, they are popular. The ports and bamboos are springing up after the rain, and they are built one after another. There are towns, wild ferries, which are beyond their reach. There are also many rich merchants who donate money to build them. It is only because of the water transportation, which is extremely profitable. Especially the internal and external circulation of waterways is connected. Ship merchants from all over the world are coming one after another. The river port is not like a seaport, after all, the throughput is limited. When busy, when approaching wild ferries, it can also be rescued. Hebei is gradually experiencing great sailing. Wuzhou Provinces

There are many households and families in the land, including family members, buying sea ships, transporting famous products or ships to make profits. As mentioned a few days ago, King Ji went to Northern Tianzhu to recruit civilian ships and transporting grain and supplies. He gave ten times the fee. He made a profit of 200,000 yuan in one month, traveling thousands of miles back and forth. He made a profit of 2.4 million yuan a year. He had a fat bow and stern, wide face and pointed bottom, and a large Mulan. One ship was worth tens of millions of yuan. It was enough to make money in six years.

What's more, transferring famous products will make more profits. The cabin vouchers will make profits as promised, and you will make sure to make profits without losing money. At least three years, more than five years. Tens of millions of Jibao will be gone and returned. The rest of the income every year, except for upgrading, renovation, maintenance, and some expenses, are all profits.

The craftsman proverb says: "Dry for a thousand years, wet for a thousand years, dry for two or three years." The saying refers to the fact that a ship goes into the water and waits for a long time. In addition, "dry bricks do not come on the wall, wet wood does not make doors"; "sing a thousand pounds across the horizontal line, and a thousand pounds per vertical line"; "running water does not rot, and the door hinges do not rot" and so on. They are all craftsmen and experience gathering.

In a nutshell, four boroughs and eight flows are coming, and shipping is prosperous. Huai and Si are no exception.

"Report——" There was a scout, and the Clippers came to report: "The Si River broke out, the flood broke out. The big ship was blocked, and all the small boats came out."

The Si River flowed backwards to Xia Pi, and even the rivers were shallow. The Yanzhou navy, the building ships and the huge sea ships were all stranded. Only small boats were left to pass.

"What is the boat coming out?" Chen Yuanlong must have asked this question.

"No..." The scout wanted to speak but stopped.

"Tell me the truth." Chen Yuanlong gave an order.

"The urgent task of saving Xia Pi has been saved." The scout did not dare to hide it.

"Oh?" Chen Yuanlong's eyes flashed with a strange color: "How to help me?"

"Everyone who enters the rebel ship will first release the troops." The scout replied.

"Cao Mengde is indeed a master of power." Chen Yuanlong sighed. He deserves to be ranked among the six heroes. He is a real emergency.

The scout said boldly: "The military advisor has a destiny: the flood is broken, and the sea is blocked; the thieves of Cao do not move, and the three armies do not move. This is the opportunity to win."

"No need to say much, I have my own concerns." Chen Yuanlong said decisively.

"Here." The scout didn't dare to say more.

Gongcao Chen Jiao said from the side: "As the military advisor said, Cao Mengde was trapped in the sea of ​​Gai, and the fire ships of the palace can be broken. When the water of Xia Pi is full and the water of canal rises again, Cao Mengde escapes." The implication is that the Si River flows backwards in Xia Pi, and even the water of the river is shallow. When the water of Xia Pi is full, the water will rise and the ship will rise high. Help the giant ships of Gai sea to float and rise and escape. One rise and one fall, and the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again.

No outsiders were present. Chen Deng then told his confidant: "Cao Mengde, the emperor, is righteous, and he is willing to be righteous. He relieves the troops and rescues the urgent matters, and attacks are unrighteous."
