    Zhongli County is located in the north of Jiujiang County.

    To the southwest of Zhongli County is Yinling County, the seat of Jiujiang County.  On the northern border of Zhongli County is the mighty Huai River.  The entire Zhongli County is backed by the Huai River, and there are many water systems within its territory, with well-developed water veins.

    This is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

    In such an area, cavalry is not feasible.  On the one hand, there were waterways, rivers, and bridges everywhere, making it very troublesome for the cavalry to travel; on the other hand, there were waterways crisscrossing the area and the roads were even narrower, leaving no area for the cavalry to charge into battle on a large scale.

    In the north of Zhongli County and on the south bank of the Huai River, there is a Zhoushan Ferry.

    Zhoushan Ferry is the only ferry in the entire northern part of Zhongli County where the Huaihe River flows.  Taking a boat from the north bank to the south, if you want to enter Jiujiang County, you can only dock at Zhoushan Ferry and then enter Zhongli County.

    The remaining places do not have suitable ferries due to terrain reasons.

    Near Zhoushan Ferry, there is an army stationed specifically for defense.

    The number of the army is not large, only 5,000.  Because Zhoushan Ferry is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a waterfront after all. As long as they guard the ferry pier, nothing will happen.

    Five thousand people are stationed here, which is enough.

    The commander-in-chief of the army is named Yuan Bin.

    This person is Yuan Wei's cousin. He is currently in the Chen Kingdom and holds the post of General Zhenbei. He is specifically stationed at Zhoushan Ferry to prevent Yanzhou or Xuzhou troops from entering the Chen Kingdom from the north bank of the Huaihe River.

    In the military tent, Yuan Bin is drinking.

    Yuan Bin did not have much education and was basically illiterate.  But Yuan Bin is tall and strong, and his martial arts skills are extremely powerful. He is a master who has been in the master realm for many years.

    During the process of Yuan Wei's founding of the country, Yuan Bin relied on his martial arts and made great achievements.  So in the end, he was rewarded based on his merits. He was named General Zhenbei and sat at Zhoushan Ferry, where he lived a relaxed and comfortable life.

    Yuan Bin is a good drinker and has an astonishing capacity for drinking. After one meal, he will drink at least ten kilograms of wine.  After all, there is no Wuliangye in Chen State, and the alcohol content is relatively low. Ten kilograms of alcohol is not too much.

    Yuan Bin, with his chin and beard furrowed, was sitting casually, drinking heavily and eating meat.  But as I drank, the wine jar next to me suddenly became empty.  Yuan Bin frowned and scolded: "Come here!"

    A soldier quickly entered and stood still.

    The soldier looked a little cowed.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Yuan Bin is addicted to alcohol. If that's all, then that's it.  The problem is that after Yuan Bin drank some horse urine, his mind became a little confused and he couldn't distinguish between east, west and north, and it was very easy for him to become drunk and mad.

    You must know that Yuan Bin is a master at the master level.  Once he goes crazy, no one can stop him.  Just like this, there were often soldiers, so they were beaten to death by Yuan Bin.

    That¡¯s why the soldiers were a little scared.

    Yuan Bin didn¡¯t drink too much today and was still very sober.  He patted the wine jar and ordered: "There is no more wine. Go and bring me ten jars of wine. The weather today is so boring. If you don't drink, it won't be fun!"

    The soldier quickly said: "General, there is no wine. The wine stored in the army has been drunk. Soldiers have been sent to look for wine. I estimate that they will find wine this afternoon."

    ¡°Asshole!¡±

    Yuan Binhu stared.

    He grabbed the wine jar in front of him and smashed it out.

    The soldier gritted his teeth and tensed his body.

    He didn¡¯t dare to avoid it at all. Once he avoided it, the consequences would be disastrous.  In the blink of an eye, the wine jar hit the soldier's body and shattered with a clang, but the soldier still stood still with his head bowed, not daring to move at all.

    The soldiers were extremely nervous, worried about being angered, and even more worried about being killed.

    Yuan Bin said angrily: "Go away and find me a drink quickly."

    "Yes Yes!"

    The soldier hurriedly responded, not daring to rub the painful parts of his body, so he could only leave quickly.  After all, right now, if he rubs his body, he might be killed.

    Yuan Bin punched the desk in front of him, and the desk immediately shattered.

    He looked angrily and muttered: "Your Majesty, it is true that you asked me to guard the Zhoushan Ferry. The Zhoushan Ferry is related to the safety of Dachen State and must be guarded by me. But I have been here for such a long time, and I have only been here for a couple of seconds."  Years ago, not even a single person was seen.¡±

    "The civil strife in Yanzhou and the turmoil in Xuzhou have nothing to do with our Chen State. Huh, it seems that I have to write to His Majesty to transfer me back. I stay in this ungrateful place, except for drinking, there is not even a woman."

    He wanted to kidnapThe problem with coming here to rob some women is that before they came, they were repeatedly reminded that they could drink alcohol, but they must not rob women or leave women in the army.

    So Yuan Bin could only admit it.

    The weather in July is extremely hot and a bit stuffy.  Yuan Bin ran out of drinks and lost interest in eating meat.  He stood up and went straight to the tent.

    It is now noon and the sun is shining brightly.

    The sun was burning on people's bodies. Yuan Bin basked in the sun and didn't feel anything.  After all, he is a master at the master level and has profound skills. The sun will have no effect at all.

    Yuan Bin was bored and immediately ordered: "Come here, send the order and call all the soldiers together immediately. All the soldiers will practice a game in the school field."

    When the soldiers heard this, they were all a little confused.

    It¡¯s noon!

    Nowadays, it is extremely hot to train soldiers, and it is more likely to cause heatstroke.

    The soldier hesitated for a moment, but seeing Yuan Bin's expression, he did not dare to waste time and hurriedly went to deliver the order.  In the blink of an eye, the sound of war drums sounded, which was the sound of gathering soldiers, everyone gathered.

    The gathering of the lieutenants of the army took about a quarter of an hour.  It's just that all the soldiers are a little wilted. After all, the weather is too hot.

    Yuan Bin was in good spirits, so he directly gathered the soldiers together and without saying a word, ordered the soldiers to start drilling.

    While practicing, Yuan Bin said: "You are a bunch of losers. I taught you martial arts and let you practice martial arts. Until now, all of them are weak and like women. Practice, practice hard for me."

    He was full of energy and kept training the soldiers. After training for about half an hour, the soldiers were sweating profusely and all of them looked a little embarrassed.  After all, the weather is too hot. Standing in the school grounds, you can feel the hot breath on the ground.

    Yuan Bin didn't care.

    Gradually, some soldiers couldn't bear it anymore and fainted directly on the ground. Yuan Bincai impatiently ordered: "This group of trash, disband!"

    He didn¡¯t pay attention to the fainted soldiers at all. He directly left the camp with his hands behind his back and led his soldiers to the dock of Zhoushan Ferry.  He did not stand on the dock, but went directly to the rocks on the river bank.

    The weather in late July is such that the river water is swollen and the flow of the Huai River is also relatively rapid.

    The water level is approaching the ferry pier.

    Yuan Bin looked at the opposite bank, which was close to Xiapi State in Xuzhou.  There was a high-spirited fighting spirit in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Damn it, I've been here at Zhoushan Ferry for so long, and no one has come to invade me. It would be great if someone came over and fought. It's always like this.  Very boring."

    The soldiers stood behind Yuan Bin and were speechless. It would be better if there was no war.

    If there is a war, people will die.

    Yuan Bin muttered something to the effect that he hoped someone would come.  It doesn¡¯t matter if they are from Xuzhou or Yanzhou, as long as someone comes.

    After he rambled for a while, he finally turned around bored and said, "Let's go back to camp."

    The soldiers followed immediately.

    Return to camp.

    Soon after Yuan Bin left, an army quietly arrived on the north bank of the Huaihe River.

    This army was apparently led by Wang Qi.

    Wang Qi¡¯s army not only arrived, but he also prepared enough ships to build a bridge across the river.  After all, when he was on the road, Wang Qi knew the way forward and knew that he had to cross the Huaihe River, so he sent the vanguard to arrive early and then prepared the boats to cross the river.

    The army arrived, but it was temporarily hidden.

    I haven¡¯t crossed the river yet.

    It is very easy to be discovered when crossing the river during the day. As long as you are discovered by someone on the other side of the river, the other party will stop you at the ferry pier.  Then Wang Qi's army would have difficulties crossing the river.

    The army hid and waited quietly.

    Time passed by, the sky darkened in a blink of an eye, the sun set in the west, and night fell.  Wang Qi led the soldiers out of the forest and came to the river bank.

    Wang Qi looked at the somewhat turbulent river water.

    Although the river is turbulent, this area is considered stable at least. Unlike other river areas with curves, the river is not only turbulent, but also has undercurrents and vortices, making it easy to be involved.

    Crossing the river in this area is relatively easy and safe.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
