43. Yangtze River water thieves


S: The second watch is sent, continue to ask for votes, thank Zhong Zijie for his five evaluation votes, thank you to all the students who rewarded and voted, the results of this book are rising, and the swordsman will definitely work hard to code words and live up to the expectations of the brothers "The fast horse chased for eighty miles, and still didn't see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful boy" Liu Wei, who woke up from sleep, did not wait for the good news he was looking forward to, and couldn't help but look disappointed.

Hua Rong's face was full of guilt: "The last general did not find a man who met the conditions of the king, I divided the sergeants into six or seven roads, and almost checked all the post roads to the east, but I found nothing." ” Liu Wei suddenly came to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lone understands, nine times out of ten, the little rabbit cub's voice is a plan, and the people of the Zhou family are really scheming." ” "Otherwise, the last general will take someone to Shu County again, arrest that kid back, and treat him for the crime of bullying the king, I know where he and Zhou Yu's home is," Hua Rong bowed and asked.

Liu Wei nodded: "You should indeed go to Shu County again, but don't be rude, ask this young man in a good voice, and try your best to find out the news of Zhou Yu." ” Hua Rong wondered in his heart, I heard that Zhou Yu was only fifteen or sixteen years old, how much ability he had to make the king so thirsty for talent, but I heard his neighbors say that this guy is handsome and dignified, is it better than my Hua Rong The king is so troublesome, why in the end, I Hua someone is also a talent, I don't see that the king has a hobby of "broken sleeves".

Although he was thinking crankily in his heart, Hua Rong still agreed, led a hundred and ten horses, and returned to Shu County again.

In the evening, Hua Rong returned to Lujiazhuang dejectedly, and said with a depressed face: "Run, all run, the teenager ran, the boy's family also ran, and Zhou Yu's house is empty." ” "Providence is like this, it seems that some people can meet but can't ask for it, forget it, since there is no fate, there is no need to force it" Liu Wei shook his head and sighed, standing in front of the window and staring at the slanting sun in the west, "Perhaps, if you can't be a teammate, you have to be an opponent. ” After resting in Lujiazhuang for two days, all the Gepi thieves who returned to Shun were reorganized, and all of them changed into brand-new military uniforms, received strong two-crotch armor, and used sharp weapons.

And the villagers of Lujiazhuang, who were about to migrate, also packed their bags, just waiting for the order of King Hongnong, and were about to set off for the south.

Knowing the news that King Hongnong was preparing to march to the southeast of the mouth of the river and cross the river from there, Lu Su urgently came to see Liu Wei, bowed down and said: "This place is still one hundred and eighty miles away from the mouth of the river, and there is a lack of boats, so it is inconvenient to cross the river.

It is better to go straight south from here, and after a hundred and ten miles, you will arrive at Hulin Port, where there is the fishing ground of my Lu family, and there are more than 30 large and small boats, which can help the army cross the river. ” Liu Wei was overjoyed: "I didn't expect Zi Jing's family to have such a wide range of industries, and they were also involved in fishery, since we have our own ships, why bother to go far and south, just go south to Hulin Port." ” Liu Wei gave an order, and the army set off for the south.

"Woohoo" With the long sound of the horn, the army of nearly 10,000 people, mixed with three or four thousand people to help the old and the young, marched southward, waving flags along the way, which was magnificent.

The morale of the soldiers is high, eager for the opportunity to make a contribution, they never dreamed that they would be able to turn from rebels to officers and soldiers in their lifetime, although they have been incorporated for some days, but the excitement is still difficult to calm.

The faces of the people of Lujiazhuang are a little confused, which is the reluctance to give up the old land of their hometown and the fear of the unknown.

I don't know what fate this young King Hongnong will bring them Liao Hua led 1,000 people from his headquarters to open the way, Gan Ning led 1,000 elite cavalry to follow, Mu Guiying's troops surrounded Liu Wei, Liu Bowen and Mrs.

Lu and others walking in the middle of the team, and the people of Lujiazhuang followed closely behind the Chinese army.

Further back was Li Yan's escort team to transport money and grain, followed by Hua Rong's 2,000 archers, and Wei Yan's sword and shield soldiers were responsible for breaking the rear.

The army and the people, 15,000 people, walked on the post road to the south in an orderly manner.

Because the team was mixed with the people, the marching speed was extremely slow, and it took more than forty miles to walk in one day, and it seemed that it would be the day after tomorrow to reach Hulin Port at the earliest.

After camping and resting for the night, the army continued south the next day.

At noon, Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang, brought his staff to see him off, and he had been waiting for a long time on the side of the post road, and offered 10,000 stone of grain.

After greetings, Lu Kang took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Wei: "After the king arrives in Jiangdong, I hope to remember the words of Weichen, no matter what you do, you must remember the four words of righteousness, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort; If the name is not right, it will run into walls everywhere.

This is a letter from Weichen, if necessary, His Royal Highness can send someone to the Lu family in Wu County with a letter to find his brother Lu Xu, and he will definitely try his best to help His Royal Highness gain a foothold in Jiangdong. ” Lu Kang took the initiative to offer his name, Liu Wei was overjoyed, and his previous unhappiness was swept away, and he also said politely: "Although Lu Taishou is relieved, your heartfelt words will be remembered by Lonely."

In the future, when you will inevitably bother your Lu family in Jiangdong, you will definitely go to the Lu Mansion to disturb you. ” After bidding farewell to Lu Kang, the army continued southward, camped ten miles away from Hulin Port, and crossed the river tomorrow after breakfast.

In the early morning of the next day, the weather suddenly became foggy, and the visibility was only 20 zhang, which was equivalent to about 40 meters for the offspring.

"The fog is damp and heavy, there are many old and weak women and children in the army, in order to avoid innocent people drowning, it is better to rest here for a day, and after the fog clears, then cross the river, how?"

Early in the morning, during the military discussion, Li Yan, who was cautious, put forward his own views.

Without waiting for others to speak, Gan Ning preemptively retorted: "I have been active on the Yangtze River for a long time, and I know the weather on the riverside well, the Yangtze River has abundant water flow, the climate is humid, and there are at least 300 days of fog throughout the year.

Although there was fog, there was no wind, although crossing the river was; If you wait until the wind is raging and the waves are raging, you will not be able to cross the river. ” Although what Gan Ning said was reasonable, Liu Wei was still a little worried: "The fog is thick, in case some people accidentally fall into the river, causing their relatives to say goodbye forever, and I, the king of Hongnong, will not look good on my face."

How can I think of a good way to get the best of both worlds?"

Gan Ning patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, my hometown is on the bank of the Bajun River, and I grew up in the river since I was a child.

Moreover, the old brother who followed me to vote for the king is also well versed in the nature of water, and if the king is worried, tomorrow he will take the brother and take charge of transporting all the soldiers and civilians safely across the Yangtze River. ” "It's rare for Gan Xingba to be so responsible, so there's no need to wait, after all, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, who knows when the fog will dissipate" After listening to Gan Ning's words, Liu Wei relieved himself and decided to cross the river immediately.

With the melodious horn blowing, all the soldiers and civilians once again set up camp and headed south, and after trekking in the fog for an hour, they finally arrived at Hulin Port on the bank of the Yangtze River.

Due to the fog locking the river, those who came to the Yangtze River for the first time did not have the opportunity to see the majesty of the Yangtze River, and they felt regretful in their hearts.

Lu Su had already sent people to the port and informed his boatmen, asking them to drive all the big and small boats to the river, ready to cross the river in the fog.

At this moment, the lull has been prepared, just waiting for the arrival of the army and civilians.

The Lu family has a total of 31 large and small boats, mainly fishing on the river, and sometimes fishing down the river and offshore fishing.

Of course, in this era of backward technology, going to sea with wooden boats is extremely risky, but the benefits are also amazing, so there are always fishermen who are not afraid of death who will venture to sea.

There are three kinds of boats of the Lu family, the smallest is the boat, a small boat, which can only accommodate seventeen or eighteen people at the same time, a total of twenty, these are all transporting materials on the river, and generally do not go far.

The slightly larger ones are called shipwrights, which can carry fifty or sixty people at the same time, and there are nine such boats.

The largest kind of boat called to go to sea is also the basis for the fishermen of the Lu family to go to sea, if it is full, it can carry three or four hundred people, because of the high cost, the Lu family only has two.

"Brothers, after listening to my orders and transporting the army and the people across the river safely, the king will definitely reward him," Gan Ning gathered his old brothers together and announced the task of crossing the river, "cheer me up, be smart, and don't let my words turn into bragging." ” "No" These people were all born and died with Gan Ning, and they all looked at him as a horse, and they all agreed to distribute ships according to Gan Ning's instructions and be responsible for transporting all the soldiers and civilians.

Under the command of Gan Ning, hundreds of boats and ships on the river contended, and it took half an hour to operate Liaohua's vanguard to the south of the Yangtze River, and then transported the cavalry and war horses under Gan Ning across the Yangtze River in batches, followed by Liu Wei's Chinese army and the people of Lujiazhuang.

Gan Ning personally drove the boat back and forth on the river, directing the boat to cross the river, under his command, the ship was in order, the river was calm, and not even a single case of falling into the river did not happen.

It only takes two more hours to transport the remaining money, grain, and men and horses across the Yangtze River.

"The brothers are working hard to get everyone to Gangnam by the evening" Watching the grain carts being pushed onto the ship, Gan Ning stood on top of the boat and cheered loudly for his brothers.

Although it was past noon, the thick fog on the river still had no intention of dissipating.

As the last grain truck was loaded onto the building boat, Hua Rong also jumped up and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xingba to be not only a tiger on land, but also a dragon on the water. ” "Haha, believe it or not, I will push you into the water later, let you drink a few sips of Yangtze River water, and slowly train your water nature."

Gan Ning hung a bow and arrows at his waist, held an oar, and joked loudly with Hua Rong.

The sound of the oars sounded again, and twenty or thirty boats of different sizes sailed to the other side of the Yangtze River again.

In the dense fog, dozens of heads suddenly emerged from the river, and under the cover of the fog, they quietly approached a building ship transporting money and grain, and then climbed up silently, quietly touched the back of several soldiers, and the steel knife was wiped on the neck, and suddenly fell into the river, and even the screams did not have time to make a scream.

At the same time, ghostly heads also quietly appeared around several other ships that had carried money and food, and each boat was surrounded by about a dozen people, and the water was as skilled as water ghosts, and in the blink of an eye they climbed onto the boat, and quietly stretched out their blades to those soldiers who had not yet noticed t1706231537:
