Portable Space Can be Summoned

The scout team recruited by Sun Jichao happily left Niujia Village and headed for the nearest city, Linghe City.

Niujia Village is next to Xiaoling River, less than a hundred miles away from Linghe City.

Linghe City is located at the intersection of Xiaoling River and Daling River.

The Xiaoling River is narrow but long, while the Daling River is wide but short.

These two Linghe rivers jointly created the prosperous Linghe City.

Linghe City is somewhat far away from Dongting Lake, and there is no shortage of rivers in the county. There are no floods in Dongting, and there is sufficient water for irrigation and breeding.

It is a famous land of fish and rice in Nanhu County and even the entire Shun Kingdom.

Why would the General Staff prefer to give up Qianguo's greatest advantage to launch an attack from here?

In addition to wanting to train the Qianguo Navy, it is also because Nanhu County is important!

What are the counties in the northwest that are easy to capture?

The land is not fertile and the population is not large.

Even if it is used to raise horses, it is not the best choice.

The entire north was occupied by the Qian Kingdom. How could Yang Yuan lack land to raise horses?

If there is really a shortage, they won't snatch it from Shunguo. Aren't the endless prairie to the north not vast enough?

Isn’t the grass on the prairie sweet?

By occupying Nanhu County, Shunguo would not only lose an important production area, but also a large number of people.

This is the foundation of a country. Without these two, everything else is just a castle in the air.

It is precisely because of the sufficient food and population in Nanhu County that Shunguo was able to garrison 100,000 troops here.

Sun Jichao wanted to see the prosperity of Nanhu County in person, but he needed to connect Dongting County and Nanhu County. He would inevitably encounter obstacles in the city, so he could only stay in Niujia Village.

Niujia Village is also good, with a beautiful environment, fresh air, and you can enjoy the delicious food given by nature at any time!

Sun Jichao gave Niujiacun a thumbs up with tears in his eyes and praised in his heart.

…

On a river thousands of miles away from Nanhu County, thirty large and small warships were moving up the river.

Except for local fishermen and merchants, few foreign ships pass by this river.

In other words, this is not a major transportation waterway.

The main reason is that the width is not enough, and it is easy to cause congestion when there are too many ships.

But there is no problem with the depth. Dozens or hundreds of people drown every year.

It looks inconspicuous, like a small river, but it actually has profound connotations!

This fleet is the Shunguo Navy that was transferred to Nanhu County.

Previously, they were stationed on the north bank of the Hong River in the south to guard against Chu.

Later, Shun State was defeated in the north, and Dongting Lake and its water system became the largest barrier in the north of Shun State.

King Shun could only mobilize one of the southern naval forces to let go of Dongting Lake.

At the same time, he ordered Nanhu County to train the navy, and 10,000 of the 100,000 Shun troops were part of the Shun army.

It's just that the navy has not been trained yet, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses are all infantry.

This naval force transferred to Dongting Lake consisted of 3,000 men, and its commander was named Xu Fan.

It was Xu Fan's order to walk from this remote creek.

"General, this river is deep enough, but the river is too narrow, which is not conducive to our passage. If we encounter an enemy, we may not be able to move the fleet!"

A deputy general said doubtfully next to Xu Fan.

The main river channel is more than two meters deep and can be over twelve meters wide.

The largest warship in the navy can block the entire river alone.

Of course, there is no such first-class warship in Xu Fan's army.

He only has 3,000 men and 15 warships, and the others are logistics supply ships and troop transports.

There are also some reconnaissance ships, etc. that are not included.

These boats can be built on site or requisitioned at any time.

In order to ensure confidentiality, Xu Fan chose to sail at night, which further increased the difficulty of passage.

Gu\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;They can travel unimpeded on large rivers, but when they reach this narrow river, they can only move forward cautiously.

You may get stranded if you are not careful, which is simply more uncomfortable than sailing in the sea!

Shunguo's naval warships rarely have the opportunity to go around the sea, even offshore.

Not only is it a once-in-a-century opportunity, it also takes ten years.

Xu Fan was lucky enough to have such an opportunity.

At that time, the relations between the three overlords had eased a lot and they were in a period of peace.

Only at this time can Shunguo's warships pass through the Canglan River and enter the sea.

There are also quantity restrictions, and too many warships are not acceptable.

As a backbone general of the navy, Xu Fan once led the fleet to cruise on the sea.

"Let the boat in front move slowly, whether it's a big river or a small river, will the enemy let you choose the battlefield?"

Xu Fan looked at both sides of the dark river bank and said casually.

He believed that his navy must be able to navigate large rivers, as well as drill through reed ponds and ponds.

The traffic conditions of the small river in front of us are not bad, but the river is a little narrow. What's the problem?

Xu Fan didn't think this was a difficult task, but the captain and the sailors at the helm didn't dare to relax at all.

Xu Fan was following the requirements of the war along the way. If he ran aground, he would be beheaded.

Normally, if there is a problem during training, I can still talk to him, but now I can't talk to him at all.

The helmsman was even more nervous. They usually act like captains.

When the captain said to go forward, they stayed still. When the captain said to go left (right), they went left (right).

There is no need to think about running aground or running aground on rocks. At most, be careful not to ram enemy ships without orders.

This voyage is different from before. The captain’s order is simple, move forward!

There are no other requirements other than these two words.

But these two words make every helmsman dare not relax.

This river is an unfamiliar body of water for each of them. They have never been to the Dongting Lake water system whether it is training or combat.

If there hadn't been a small boat in front of them to explore and guide the way, they really wouldn't have dared to sail at night.

Each river has different hydrological characteristics. If you rush in without knowing the situation, the final result can only be the destruction of the boat and the death of people.

The speed of the fleet is not fast. If someone comes out from the shore at this time, they can see the fleet stretching hundreds of meters on the water at a glance.

Although it is unlikely, there is no guarantee that there will be people who have insomnia and want to go out for a walk, or some people like to go out at night.

How about confidentiality?

Xu Fan had already thought of this situation. He contacted the Shun Army in Nanhu County and asked them to secretly send people to block the river and arrest anyone spying on the shore.

Then distinguish whether it is a spy from the Qian Kingdom or a commoner from the country who wandered inadvertently.

Even the people of the country have to be locked up and released until the fleet leaves or even after the war is over.

There happened to be a group of Shenwuwei scouts moving around.

Originally, they did not focus on the river that the Shunguo navy could pass. After all, the navigation fleet could not pass in the creek. The river was indeed not wide and was not suitable for warships.

Unexpectedly, good luck came unexpectedly.

A group of Shenwuwei scouts camped at the top of the mountain. While patrolling at night, they discovered that their trap at the foot of the mountain had been destroyed!

"There are enemies!"

Ordinary people would not go here, and no hunter would go to such a remote place.

At most, a few pheasants and hares passed by, but they couldn't cause such great damage.

"It must be a scout from Shunjun!"

The Shenwuwei scouts all became excited.

Shunjun scouts would not come to such a place for no reason.

This shows that there must be something happening around Shunjun. No matter what it is, finding out the enemy's movements is their goal!
