127 Chapter 126 The Flood

The water potential of the Nanjiang River was magnificent, and Wu Shao took 50,000 sailors to Yanhui Mountain along the waterway.

The towering trees on the riverbank were broken by the storm and rose and fell in the waves, and several smaller ships could not dodge and nearly capsized in the water. A few days ago, the lord received an order from the king of Yue, Chitose, to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and use the fastest speed to rush to the back mountain of Yanhui Mountain, where there is a wide river, once Li Zhouwei can not resist the frontal attack of more than 20,000 people, they are very likely to escape by water; moreover, if the imperial court has a boat to respond, the navy can also destroy the aid as soon as possible.

Wu Shao received a reply and swore an oath, as if he was just around the corner to catch a turtle in the Lizhou Wei urn. However, he has been floating on the water for more than 20 years, how can he not know how difficult it is to swim against the current during the flood season, and no matter how skilled the soldier in the water is, he will be washed away in the flick of his fingers. Yanhui Mountain is very high, there are countless waterfalls, water breaks into the riverbed from a high place, coupled with heavy rains for several days, it is difficult to say how to save the warship.

He made up his mind in his heart to focus on preserving his strength, and as for attacking, he would wait until the enemy really appeared before acting. There are so many soldiers on land, they should always be allowed to sing a good show.

"General......" The adjutant general ran over with a sad face, "Her Royal Highness the princess is not very good there." I just fainted and woke up and said I wanted to see the general. ”

Wu Shao's head is too big, and it's a big trouble! His Royal Highness King Yue didn't mention the princess in his reply, so it was impossible that he didn't see it. As we all know, the prince and the princess have always respected each other, and now this surprising indifference must be because of the disgrace in private.

He pondered for a long time, as a subordinate, he could not treat the princess badly, so he set aside a big boat with a canopy to put her firmly in it, and waited for her to eat and drink. But this is just an expedient measure, there are many inconveniences in the army, he really wants to put people on the shore of the big family, but first, the people in Qining are now panicked, and the ordinary people may be frightened to flee in all directions when they see the soldiers in Nan'an; The soldiers' food and clothing are very rough, and the treatment of the princess is too good, and he, a general, is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the whispers on the ship.

His Royal Highness King Yue really threw him a burden weighing a thousand catties. The waves crashed against the side of the ship, and Wu Shao suddenly shivered.

It was Jinshang who left the princess in Suiling City, could it be that Jinshang had made a plan and wanted him to be in a hurry? Will Jinshang know about the contradiction between King Yue and the princess?

As soon as he thought about it, his nerves tightened a little.

After changing the vice admiral to give orders, Wu Shao rowed to the safest big ship in the center in a chain boat.

Yuan was sitting in the rickety cabin, dimly lit, with a candle and a bowl of finished medicine on the low table.

Her face was extremely haggard, her cheekbones bulged deeply, and her body was so thin that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Wu Shao had met the princess a few times before, and he admired that this woman could handle the middle feed for the uncertain Yue King for decades, and she could also speak for the Geng Jie officials who annoyed the prince. She has the demeanor of a beautiful lady in Beijing, which is incomparable to the women of the South China Sea.

"Your Highness can't stand the hard work of the march, so let the military doctor escort His Highness ashore. ”

Yuan shook his head, and said with a weak and dignified smile: "The concubine has dragged down the general, and General Lao took the time to come, just to ask if the prince had replied." ”

Wu Shao was silent for a moment, and said: "The prince asked the minister to send you to the shore to settle down temporarily, and return to Lianyun as soon as the war is over." You know, the checkpoints are strict everywhere now, and it's not very convenient......"

"I know. Yuan interrupted him, his eyebrows and eyes gentle, "Can the general send the concubine out of the army now?"

"This ...... Be. ”

Wu Shao never expected her to come so quickly according to the plan, but this is a good thing, this is what he was waiting for.

Yuan struggled to stand up on the table, and the cuffs of the flowers pressed against the brown wood, and a wisp of blood oozed imperceptibly.

She actually walked directly out of the cabin, looked back at Wu Shao, who was still standing in place in a daze, and reminded: "General?"

Wu Shao was confused, maybe the seasickness was too bad, and he couldn't wait to stop?

As soon as the heavy rain outside the cabin stopped, the river rose another foot, and the air was filled with the smell of damp blades of grass. The sky was painted with a grayish glaze, and it was pressed low, and the smoke in the distance poured down from the ridge.

Wu Shao stripped the boat from the team and summoned the locals who were familiar with the vicinity, which took only a little more than a stick of incense. Yuan stood quietly by the side of the ship, looking down at the turbulent water under his feet, reflecting the green mountains and stone walls, birds and dark clouds on both sides of the river.

She took out a mutton fat white hosta from her sleeve, walked over and handed it to Wu Shao: "The general, please help the concubine return this hairpin to the prince, he will understand when he sees it." If a concubine wants to live in a common people's house, it is not good to wear these jewelry. ”

Wu Shao bowed down to accept it, always feeling weirdly tight.

Yuan Shi paced back to his original position, turned his back to him and said: "There is such a talent as the general, the prince is very pleased, and often mentions the general's early achievements with his concubine. ”

Wu Shao hurriedly said: "The prince praises falsely, in fact, ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a white shadow flash in front of him, and then a "poof", where is the figure of the princess!

"Help!"

Wu Shao yelled, grabbed the side of the boat and looked at the turbulent water, Yuan's plain clothes rose and fell a few times, and disappeared into the surging river more than ten zhang away in the blink of an eye. A few soldiers had swam a short distance before they were swept down by the raging waves, and the boat was getting farther and farther away from them, and the shouts were still in their ears one moment, and the next they could hear nothing.

This ship was at the end of the fleet, looking back at the empty river, Wu Shao had no owner.

The princess committed suicide by throwing herself into the river!

The first few ships were far away, and a soldier at the stern asked, "General, what's wrong?"

Wu Shao ignored it, clenched his fists tightly, and summoned everyone on the boat to order: "Go downstream separately to find it, don't come back if you can't find it!"

He gasped, the princess was gone, how to go back to Chuzhou to return to the prince!

At the least, he was accused of failing to protect the Lord, and at the worst, he was ...... He gritted his teeth, and according to that person's temperament, he would push anything on him. The newly rescued princess was lost in front of thousands of boats, saying that she committed suicide and threw herself into the river, even if the prince would believe it, the 50,000 sailors would not believe it. The princess behaved as usual on the boat and did not show the slightest abnormality, could he still say that it was because the princess and the prince were at odds, and she was so depressed that she didn't want to live?

The generals of the navy were stunned on the boat, like falling into an ice cave.

There was only one voice echoing in his head, he couldn't report to Nan'an, he couldn't.

"Princess Yue threw herself into the river. ”

Sheng Yunyi tore off a green leaf, and when he turned around when he heard the words, his eyebrows were full of blue waves. That smile made people chill for no reason.

"There is only this one left in Yuan Xiang's house, and it is clean. His fingers tapped on the sand table in turn, "Explode between the two mountains a little more, so that General Wu can come in, and the navy will be divided into two batches, half of the ships will be gone, and the other half will be used by the imperial court except for the generals." ”

Today's courage has always been great, and the leader of the remnants of the Lu clan is secretly speechless, quite like his grandfather.

In the past few days, the guards of Qining Prefecture on the mountain road have jumped up like crazy, thinking that they are bound to find out and rectify them if they get the news of the Yue Domain. Even if they occupied a favorable terrain, thousands of people still fought hard, and basically as soon as the wheel battle came, the soldiers on this side were overwhelmed to deal with it.

Sheng Yunyi knew that he couldn't stay in Yanhui Mountain for a long time, and the 100,000 people in Yuzhou had already arrived, waiting for him to lead his troops to converge. Rushing from the mountains to Wangze, taking the waterway is the fastest, and he needs Wu Shao's boats, even if only half of them are enough to carry the lost Li Zhouwei. Now he didn't have the extra heart to worry about the people of Suiling City, flooding the whole city to slow down the speed of the other party's march such a damned thing, he did it without hesitation, and didn't care about doing it again.

Within ten years, the river does not know how many undead will be exceeded. They were all subjects of Daqi, and he personally sent them back to the west.

Out of the tent of deliberations, a lame Lu soldier followed the captain and chattered: "Hey, I saw Your Majesty at the shed where the wounded soldiers were installed a few days ago, and guess what? Your Majesty brought someone back." ”

"If you bring someone, you bring someone. ”

The cripple was very excited and lowered his voice: "...... I hugged a girl back. No, my leg was still made by the female military doctor. Big brother, you go and inquire. ”

The chopsticks essence also came to the spirit, and he still held a shelf on his face and taught earnestly: "Do you still think that Your Majesty is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who used to follow the general, who you like to hug and who you want, let's take care of this." ”

"It seems that there is still blood from the Western Regions, and those two eyeballs are light in color and small gray. ”

Chopsticks: "Maybe it's popular nowadays, and we don't understand the affairs of young people." ”

Ash stands on a treetop and pecks at a pine cone.

Su Huihui was stared at by the bird, and the hand holding the jar became more and more unnatural. The two-eyed falcon seemed to understand everything, and flew outside her tent every day to spy on her, and every morning she was annoyed by the quacking sounds.

She was a wounded, and the military doctor didn't need her help, so she collapsed on the sheet with her stomach in her arms, and rarely got up to walk. But there are some things that she has to get up up and do sneaky, such as changing the menstrual belt and throwing the menstrual belt.

Su Huihui couldn't accept the reality that he was involved in hundreds of schools. This half jar of grass and wood ash is ironclad evidence, and she can't blush. That day, Ruixiang brought back a thick stack of cotton cloth and this jar from him, and skillfully threaded the needle and thread, stuffed the grass and wood ashes into the strips of cloth, and sewed it all over her body, and she was stunned at that time. Men can do everything to this extent, and they even know how to do menstrual affairs, which is simply terrifying.

This thing can't be washed cleanly, so I simply dig a pit and bury it, anyway, Ruixiang has done a lot, and even next month's package is covered. The smell of the jar was so strong that she had just moved it outside when a few drops of rain fell and had to be put back in the small tent.

She clutched her abdomen, all her strength was used to resist the fatal colic, and her heart seemed to be less heavy against him.

Close your eyes and recall his solid arms.

Su Huihui looked at the jar in a daze, it turned out that she couldn't refuse his gentle hug, never to.

"Girl," Ruixiang came back from fetching water and set it on the fire, "I just heard someone asking about you outside, and you said that these people are so boring." ”

"Let them inquire. Su warmed his temper more irritable than usual, "Can you make flowers?"

At most, it's just where she studied, and the top won't let people dig out her background, which is not good for them.

Ruixiang said distressedly: "I heard from Imperial Doctor Yu that we are moving out again, don't be tired anymore, the girl's body will be tired, it will leave symptoms." ”

Su Huihui only hoped that the army would wait for her to get better before moving, and with her level of disability, it was estimated that she would have to go into a ravine to walk.

She has been a very long day this month, and fortunately she was able to walk normally when she received the news that she had moved out.

It was pouring rain again.

The sailors found a boat on the shore where the flow was gentle, and the lanterns on the river were lined up at night, like fireflies extinguished in the wind.

Wu Shao found a place not far from the foot of the mountain to rest, the riverbed here is not wide, there are not many reefs, no matter how you look at it, it is very pleasant. In the evening, the soldiers cast their nets to catch fish, went ashore to start a stove, knocked the bang, and went back to sleep on the boat. They have been advancing smoothly, without being attacked or obstructed, and it can be said that they have entered no man's land.

Except for the apprehensive generals of the navy, every soldier was optimistic. Knowing that the princess was sent to a safe commoner's home, they were extremely relaxed, the woman was heavy, and the water taboo was this, so they still sent Shu Tan away.

The current has become faster.

Wu Shao couldn't sleep, stood at the bow of the boat in the middle of the night, noticed the change in the flow speed, he was always cautious, and woke everyone up to drive the boat to a more stable place.

The thunder roared, and several thick bolts of lightning tore through the night and struck the top of the mast, and the scene was terrifying.

Thankfully, he didn't sleep...... Otherwise, the anchor would not have been able to be placed in that place just now. In the night, the river diverged in front of him, and he chose a calmer river, and was about to lead the boat to the east, when a thunderclap sounded in his ears.

The darkness made people's hearing more acute, Wu Shao suddenly raised his head, held the lantern and squinted - the mountain walls on both sides made a deafening friction sound, and the stones and bones rolled down from the cliff into the water, and it was about to collapse!

Several fires burst on the banks of the river not far away, accompanied by the exclamations of the soldiers on board.

It turned out that not only the embankment of Suiling City, but also the natural barriers on both sides were blown to pieces, and the gunpowder in the warehouse of Lizhou Wei was probably exhausted in this cup of tea!

His mind had never been so clear, but the other party's elaborate game had cost a lot of money, and so many explosives exploded the rocks at the same time in an instant, and there was no time to react.

The eagle boat swirled in the center of the current, and the soldiers at the helm sweated profusely as they tried to steer their direction. The river course in the upper reaches changed dramatically, and the force of the current rushed in front of you, immediately pushing the light boats towards the center of the river. The chains on the chain boats were connected, and the eagle boats had to keep up with their positions, when suddenly a strong wind swept by, and a dark black cloud drifted into the sky, and the bean-sized raindrops fell on the soldiers, and several lanterns were buried in the deep water.

Only lightning provided the light, Wu Shao gasped to let the boat resume its movement to avoid the gunpowder, and used his ears to judge the number of ships washed away by the river. The ship was now completely an ant, rampaging through the winding waterways, the screams of the emperor were engraved on his chest like a soldering iron, his temples were bruised, his eyes widened in disbelief in the direction of the currentβ€”β€”β€” still not many soldiers were lost in the roaring and furious waves.

It was a long night.

The heavy rain fell from Zishi to Maozheng, and the east finally brightened, Wu Shao's armor was soaked, and he was half-kneeling alone in the bow of the boat, like a stone statue.

The adjutant general wiped the sweat from his face in embarrassment, and his hard voice was full of tears: "General, half of ......the boat is gone! There's a cliff down there!"

Wu Shao's eyes were bloodshot, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said decisively: "Change the way, the rest of the people are following!"
