The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 303
Zhang Wu ordered Zhuge Liang to temporarily lead the prefect of Lujiang, stationed in Wancheng to guard against Cao Ren in Hefei, and at the same time be responsible for allocating grain, grass, and supplies.

Later, Zhang Wu led eight thousand soldiers from the Wuwei Battalion and set out from the Lujiang River in a warship. He wanted to take advantage of Cao Cao's late arrival and capture Moling as soon as possible to establish victory.

At this time, the main force of the Jingzhou navy had already engaged in battle with the retreating Jiangdong navy, and Guan Yu led the main force of the infantry to go ashore, preparing to besiege Moling City.

Zhang Wu led his army on the Yangtze River by boat, watching the river flow eastward without end, the green hills on both sides were lush, the smoke from the kitchens in three or five villages curled up, and the fishing boats on the shore heaved up and down with the waves.

What a great river and mountain!No wonder those in power are keen to fight for hegemony in the world. With such beautiful mountains and rivers and a vast world, who wouldn't want to own him?

Zhang Wuhao is full of passion. After traveling for ten years, relying on a small third-rate system and through his unremitting efforts, he finally has his current status and power.Now that Sun Quan is about to be wiped out, and then Yizhou is to be taken, he will own half of the world.

It seems that fighting for world hegemony is really not an easy task. It has been ten years and no princes have been wiped out. However, these ten years have laid the foundation, and they will start to expand outwards in the future.

But Zhang Wu also clearly realized that even if Jiangdong and Yizhou were occupied, and half of the country was occupied, the center of gravity of the world at this time was still the north. Regardless of the degree of development or population, the territory occupied by Cao Cao was stronger than himself.There is still a long way to go in the future. If we want to rule the world, it will take another ten years, or even 20 or 30 years.

Who can predict what will happen next!Just do your best with what's in front of you!
The battle between the Jingzhou navy and the Jiangdong navy in Lujiang has ended for more than ten days, so there are many fishermen on the Yangtze River fishing not far from the shore.In any case, ordinary people still have to live. People along the Yangtze River who live by fishing may not be able to eat if they do not go out to work for two days.

In addition to these fishermen, occasionally there will be some fleets of aristocratic families sailing on the Yangtze River. Some of them are doing business. Wars are wars. The family's merchant fleet.

Although Jingzhou is now at war with Jiangdong, fighting is a matter for soldiers, and Zhang Wu will not destroy a certain family just because someone in it works for Sun Quan.In this era, there are even brothers who work for different bosses. For example, Zhuge Liang is now Zhang Wu's military adviser, while his brother Zhuge Jin is Sun Quan's subordinate.

Even Cao Cao, who was so cruel, did not harm his family after killing Chen Gong, and even gave Chen Gong's old mother a pension.

That's called everyone's master, unless it's an unforgivable crime of treason, such as treason.

Besides, Zhang Wu felt that he was about to occupy Jiangdong. Now these common people and aristocratic families will be the people under his rule in the future. They will provide food and soldiers for their hegemony, and of course they cannot be harmed.

In addition to those who did business, there were also fleets of some big families returning to Wu County from Lujiang on the north bank and other places. They felt that the north was not safe during the war, so they had to go back to Wu County or Kuaiji County.

Zhang Wu also ordered not to harass the members of these aristocratic families, because they will also be the basis for his ruling Jiangdong in the future, and many families in Jiangdong have marriage or business relationships with Jingzhou aristocratic families.

There is such a fleet in front of Zhang Wu, a big ship and a few small boats. There is no cargo on board. It doesn't look like a businessman. Seeing that there are maids on the big ship, they should return to Wu County or Kuaiji County from the north bank. Someone from a certain family.

This fleet suddenly encountered Zhang Wu's army marching, and quickly stopped the boat in the middle of the river, hoping to wait for Zhang Wu's army to leave before crossing the river.

However, it was a little strange that the flag representing the family was not hoisted on this fleet, and the guards on the ship looked quite capable. Zhang Wu, as an invincible general who has led the army for many years, naturally has a good eye for people.

But Zhang Wu didn't think much about it. Jiangdong is different from other places. Some big families can have private soldiers. This is called trilogy, and some families have many miqus.For example, after Ling Cao died in battle, his son Ling Tong inherited Ling Cao's songs.Like those top big families, they often have thousands of plays. This aspect also caused Sun Quan a headache, and he tried his best to reduce the family's private soldiers.

A guard beside Zhang Wu said, "My lord, the people on that boat are unusual, maybe there is something abnormal!"

"Oh? Why is it unusual?" Zhang Wu asked.

"First of all, those boats were already approaching the center of the river. The water was rough and the waves were rough, but the people who operated the boats kept the boats on the water. The people standing on the boat are very stable, as if they are integrated with the boat, not affected by the waves at all, and when encountering our army, they can quickly form an array to protect the main boat, faintly intending to challenge. This group of guards It is very likely that it is the navy that has fought for many years, or the elite of the navy."

This guard was from an old navy army. Because of his bravery in combat and proficiency in water warfare, he was transferred to the Wuwei Battalion, because the Wuwei Battalion is a fully developed special force that requires proficiency in both water and land warfare.

As soon as Zhang Wu heard it, he understood that the guards of that family were a group of elite water soldiers who were proficient in water warfare. Even if an ordinary big family had private soldiers, it would definitely not be as elite as this.The most elite naval forces in the world only exist in two places, one is the Jingzhou Navy and the other is the Jiangdong Navy.

Among them, the personal quality of the elites in the Jiangdong navy is stronger than that of the Jingzhou navy, which means that these people are very likely to be the elites of the Jiangdong navy who have fought for many years, so the master of the big ship is not easy.

Although Zhang Wu could see that the other party's guards were not simple, they were not good at water combat after all, so these details were unexpected.

With such an elite sailor guarding them, it is very likely that the ship is a certain sailor general from Jiangdong, no wonder he dared to fly the flag!

"Okay, Wu Meng, you are careful enough, if you really catch a big fish, I will make you a meritorious service and let you go to the navy to be a captain."

The guard named Wu Meng was overjoyed. He was originally a commoner, and he had been in the Jiangxia Navy during Huang Zu's time. Although he fought bravely, he was not promoted because of his bad background.Later Zhang Wu came to power in Jiangxia, and Gan Ning was in command of the water army. Seeing his bravery in battle and his prestige among the soldiers, he was promoted to a junior officer.

When Wuweiying expanded its army, he was recommended by Gan Ning to Wuweiying. Because of his outstanding ability, he was arranged by Zhang Wu to be a guard by his side.

Now the captain is a senior officer in the Jingzhou army. He can command at least five hundred soldiers and has more opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
