In this time and space, if there are anyone other than spies who can deliver news, it is only merchants, these people travel from south to north, and they are natural disseminators.

More than two months have passed since the battle of Jiankang, and of course the Yuan people, who are the losing side, will not tell the world, so the Liangchuan Xingyuan located in Shuzhong has never received official documents, but the news still spread to the city of Chongqing, where the army is gathered, and it is natural to thank those merchants.

This time, the two courts went their separate ways, which was quite a contest, but unfortunately, Guozhou, where the Dongchuan Academy was stationed, was facing the Hezhou defense line. I thought it would be better to go around, but I didn't think that Chongqing Mansion would be as difficult as it was, and after several months of siege, there was no sign of collapse of the defenders.

Seeing that the old man was useless, several commanders discussed it and decided to divide their troops to fight Fuzhou upstream, in order to cut off the Song people's reinforcements from outside. Therefore, when Zhang Jue's reinforcements arrived, the soldiers and horses under the city were less than half of the original, and he inadvertently chose a good time.

"Wang Fu, the Song people have entered the city, at this time, withdraw the troops, what should we do with the people and horses on the other side?"

Seeing that the Song army broke through from the waterway and cut them off at the waist, there was no other way to stab them but to go back to the big tent to discuss first, but he didn't expect this Han man to be taken aback as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The prefect, the only way to do this is to order them to retreat along the road, we have no naval army, even if we want to rescue, there is no way, this matter must be decided immediately, because the Song people may come to the aid in a big way."

Li Dehui, the king of Anxi, who was dressed in a Han robe, sighed, the reinforcements of the Song people were not only numerous, but also brave and daring to fight, and if they dragged on, they were afraid that there would be another big defeat like rumors.

"What does Wang Fu mean by this?" He asked, puzzled.

"News came from Fuzhou, and there are rumors that the imperial court's southern expedition was blocked by the Song people and has collected its troops back."

Because he got it from the mouth of the Song people, Li Dehui didn't believe that he would lose so badly, but it was definitely true that the southern expedition was over, and he could only guess whether it was a small setback.

As soon as he said this, he understood that since the war on the Jiangnan side was over, it was possible for the Song people to free up their hands to support this side.

"What about Fuzhou?"

"I have sent men over and ordered them to withdraw, and when their men arrive, we should go." Li Dehui's words completely knocked out his luck, and he finally sent out a soldier, but he returned in vain? Heting is really a little unwilling.

But he knew very well that the Han people in front of him represented the king of Anxi, who nominally led the two rivers, and he could only obey the orders of the head of Dongchuan, otherwise he would not be able to please him when he went back.

He doesn't care about the outcome of the war now, the more than 10,000 men and horses on the other side, and countless baggage equipment, do you really want to discard them like this? His face was cloudy, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Li Dehui did not urge him, before he set out on the expedition, he had his own subordinates to the two rivers, and he had a lot of complaints about each other. Now the soldiers and horses of Dongchuan are in a predicament, but the Xichuan side does not know the progress at all, if the two houses work together, the Song people have great ability, how can they enter the city lightly.

It's just that it's useless to say more now, the top priority is to withdraw the troops as soon as possible, as long as it doesn't hurt the vitality, next time it will be, why do you have to spend it here?

"Oh no." Just as there was a subtle silence in the big tent, an exclamation suddenly came from outside the tent.

"What's the alarm?" He snorted impatiently, he was angry when he was angry, and when he heard such words, he was about to explode.

"Ten thousand households, the Song people have done it over there."

As soon as he heard the sergeant's report, all the people in the tent stood up, and the thorn did not care to be angry with him, but hurried out, and as soon as he came out of the tent, he heard a deafening shout, which came from the other side of the river.

Hurriedly riding his horse and running to the shore, the barracks on the opposite side were already in chaos, and it seemed that he was struggling to resist, and he wanted to put on his wings and fly over, but he could only stand here in a hurry.

"Give the order quickly, as expected, the city will take action immediately." Li Dehui's words sounded in his ears, and he looked at the mountain city in the distance, and just raised his hand, he found that there was also movement there, and the Song people opened the city gate and killed them from the city.

"It's late." He lamented in his heart that under the front and rear attacks, it was only a matter of time before the camp fell, and he didn't know how many people would be able to escape, and this battle was over.

"Order, the whole army pulls out the camp, and burns them all."

Once the soldiers and horses in the same city converge, the next target must be his side, and now he can only withdraw first, but before leaving, he did not forget to burn those instruments, so as not to fall into the hands of the Song people like the other side.

Due to the last robbery case, Jiang Ning and more than 100 people were all classified into the Guards Ma Jun Division, so his transfer only had to start there, and in this way, things would be simple, because the chief officer of the Guards Ma Jun Division was the commander of the Du Commander Jin Ming.

However, a small Marquis Yu, such a level of military attache could not attract the attention of the cardinal government at all, Jin Ming issued documents in his office, and then went to the cardinal office to report, Jiang Ning and dozens of sergeants with good water quality and volunteered to go were officially transferred to the coastal control department.

"The sea is no better than the land, you have to think more about everything, take care of yourself." For this prospective sister-in-law, Jin Ming didn't say anything in the end, Liu Yu and his sister-in-law agreed on the same opinion, and it was nothing if they didn't wait for one more year.

"You've worked hard, but you still have a long way to go to become a qualified captain. Some things are useless just diligence, you have to rely on understanding, now they are better than you, you have to ask more and learn more, only then will you have a day more than them. ”

The parting is imminent, Liu Yu is more encouraging, all he can do is to write a letter to his father-in-law to see if he can allocate a boat to Jiang Ning. Unlike other places, they will go north soon, no ship can be done, of course, if it really can't work, he is ready to pay for a private ship yard to buy one, but it is a civilian ship is not as good as a war ship.

"You have to remember that on the ship, the only one you can trust is yourself, and the one who can rely on everyone is everyone, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, write it down and slowly experience it." Without waiting for him to answer, Liu Yu continued.

"If you keep what you say, you should keep it in mind." Jiang Ning really didn't understand, but he also knew that people were for his good, and such a mention was not even made by his own father, so of course he felt it in his chest.

Liu Yu had already told him the purpose of this line before, and he had no objection to acting in the territory of the Tatars, except for attacking civilians, but as a soldier, obedience to orders has been deeply rooted in his heart, and the road is his own choice, whether it is good or bad, he must accept it.

"You must keep this chart in your own hands, and go to all the islands marked out. It may not be all true, but it will probably not be wrong, and once it is confirmed, it will be noted that he will be your destiny. ”

The reason why Liu Yu agreed to his request was also because he was worried that Zhang Xuan and them would repeat it, so on this ship, Jiang Ning was the captain, and of course the crucial nautical chart was also in his hands. This kind of entrustment made the young man very excited, and after this trip he would really be on his own, which was only in a dream.

"Commander, Taishou, please rest assured, a certain will do his best to live up to expectations." Jiang Ning solemnly put away the drawings, hugged the two of them, and said loudly.

This is the canal ferry outside Lin'an City, they will take a boat along the waterway, walking in the opposite direction when Liu Yu returned to Beijing, if the wind is smooth, it will only take about two days to Qingyuan Mansion.

After saying goodbye, the two waved their hands and sent them to the boat, and at the same time there were some sergeants' families who came to see them off, but they were going to sea, and the danger was really unpredictable, even Liu Yu didn't dare to make any guarantees, but fortunately, such a task must have been fruitful, and the excitement could be clearly seen on some people's faces.

"Let's go." Jin Ming hadn't been back to his house for a few days, and now that everything was done, he could take the opportunity to go home, and the two rode together to prepare to enter the city.

At this time, Liu Yu inadvertently found that a familiar figure in the distance was turning away, it was really "a young man who doesn't know the taste of sorrow", he secretly sighed in his heart, lightly added a whip to his hand, and urged the horse to rush towards Jin Ming in front.

"Yes, husband!"

At night, Liu Yu suddenly found that his wife was extraordinarily lingering, more active than usual, and even the delicate ~ moaning voice when he was emotional was unusually tactful, which made him happy but also faintly confused.

Jing Niang is far from the age of a wolf, and there is naturally a reason for such a change, after a fierce exercise, he did not immediately get off his wife, but hugged her tightly until her wheezing calmed down.

"What's wrong?" Stroking his wife's tender face, Liu Yu leaned over and asked.

"The red lady already has a happy letter, they are just more than a month old, and the slave wants to think about it"

Both of them were naked, Jing Niang didn't dare to look at him, buried her head in his chest, and said in a thin voice.

Liu Yu was stunned for a while before reacting, what she said was Yinghong, I didn't expect it to be such a reason, the idea of inheritance in this feudal society is really strict, no, how long has it been since I got married, I have a sense of crisis.

Speaking of which, Yinghong is actually not very old, only eighteen or nine years old, but she is already an older woman here. Liu Yu's fingers wrapped around his wife's green silk, this body was too small, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences of pregnancy and childbirth.

"I told my father-in-law, you don't have to worry about having children, you just let it be, and there are no in-laws in this house to press you, why do you think so?"

"The slave wants to give birth to one for her husband."

Jing Niang raised her head, with a hint of persistence in her eyes, Liu Yu looked at the little face that had not faded the red tide, gently picked it up, and kissed it slowly. R1058
