Chapter 150: Crossing the River

Liuyi's change surprised Yang Yun. But what he is most worried about is his sworn brother Tuoba Du and his ninth sister Yang Ying.

However, Yang Yun questioned several captives separately, but did not find out the news of Tuoba and Yang Ying.

"Your Highness! We are still in a very dangerous state, and if this Chai Muda attacks us, we will not give up.

I think he will definitely report our news to the officials of the Chu State, and at that time, the Chu State will definitely come and send troops to arrest us. Ju Yuanguang said in Yang Yun's ear.

"Okay, I'll tell my brothers to hurry up, and we will try to cross the Chu River, or even pass through Xunyang Pass, before the people of Chu react, in that case, we will not be in danger." Ju Yuanguang's words reminded Yang Yun, and he immediately made a decision.

The Dafu soldiers who accepted Yang Yun's order immediately took action. They quickly sorted out the carriages, and the team was running towards Chu Jiang at the fastest speed.

Near the ferry on the west bank of the Chu River, due to the many years, merchants from all over the country have come and gone. As a result, some people found a business opportunity, so they built a house at the ferry and started a business. Over time, more and more people lived here, and a small town was formed.

Now, in addition to the thousands of residents living in this town, hundreds of Chu soldiers are stationed to protect this important wharf connecting the east and west banks of the Chu River.

Although the state of Chu and Dafu had been fighting for many years, they did not prohibit merchants from interacting with each other. However, in order to prevent the fine from sneaking into the caravan, the merchants who come and go are particularly strictly checked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have worked hard! This little meaning is taken to buy some wine for the brothers. Yao Xia smiled all over his face and handed a money bag to a leading Chu soldier.

"It's getting dark, let's move quickly." This Chu soldier shook the money in his hand and shouted loudly to the soldiers under him.

The Dafu soldiers under Yang Yun were disguised caravans. But Yang Yun also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bring back a lot of much-needed supplies for Wu County. Therefore, the carriage was loaded with many specialties from various countries.

These Chu soldiers carefully checked every carriage and found nothing abnormal, so they pulled down the barricades placed at the intersection and let Yang Yun and the others enter the town.

"It's getting dark, the river is fast, and we never send boats at night." When Yao Xia found the person in charge of the fleet, there was another situation.

"Boss, we have some goods in our caravan that must be kept fresh, and if we delay for a long time, they will rot, and then we will lose all our money. You can make an exception for yourself! We give double the money, no, triple the price. Yao Xia said with a smile, but he couldn't wait to give this stinky face a punch in his heart.

"If there is no money, you can earn it, but if you don't have your life, then there is really nothing, so we will not risk our lives." The attitude of the person in charge is still so resolute.

As a result, no matter how many times the money Yao Xia gave and how many good things he said, this guy just didn't let go and was always unwilling to send a boat to cross the river.

This is the largest ship merchant in the town, and only they have the strength to send the entire caravan and several horse-drawn carriages across the river at once.

In desperation, Yao Xia had to find several small boat shops and gave them high prices, and they finally agreed, and together they sent the people in the mission to cross the river overnight.

When everyone finally gathered the ship, all the supplies were sent to the ship. By the time I started crossing the river, several hours had passed.

Nearly 200 men in the mission, along with a great deal of supplies, were packed separately

Among the twenty ships of different sizes, they slowly sailed towards the east bank of the Chu River.

Before the boat reached the center of the river, a sudden noise came from the shore behind, and at the same time, countless torches were on the riverbank.

"The boat in front, stop at once, make it back to shore, and we will inspect it." The river bank suddenly remembered the shout.

"Leave them alone, let's move on." Seeing that the boatmen were about to turn the bow of the boat and sail towards the shore, Yao Xia hurriedly stopped their actions.

The boatmen hesitated for a while, and finally rowed their boats on the other side of the river, lured by the heavy money.

"The boat ahead, if we don't come back, we're going to start shooting."

The Chu soldiers on the shore were originally suspicious of the situation reported by Chai Muda, but when they saw that the boat was still continuing to move towards the other side of the Jiang River, they immediately determined that there was a prince of Dafu in this fleet, and of course they were not willing to let go of such a good opportunity, so they shouted loudly again.

"Uncle! We are old and young, so don't embarrass us. When the boatmen saw this, they began to be frightened and cried out.

In this case, Yao Xia had no other way but to let his soldiers take out their swords and force these boatmen to continue to move forward.

The soldiers of the Chu army in the rear, seeing that these small boats continued to move towards the other side of the river, immediately picked up their bows and arrows. Shot at one ship after another.

However, due to the long distance, there was a strong wind blowing on the river, and most of the arrows fell in the river. Only a handful of arrows were fired at the ship, and they were easily blocked by the ship's Dafu soldiers with their shields.

The soldiers of the Chu army on the shore, of course, did not want to let Yang Yun go, seeing that the bow and arrow could not work, they hurriedly sent people to look for boats, but in a hurry, where could they find so many boats for them to cross the river!

After a long time, these Chu soldiers finally found some big boats, but when they boarded the boat and prepared to go to catch up, the boat that the Dafu soldiers were riding had already crossed the center of the river and was far away from them.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Seeing that the Chu soldiers in the rear were chasing after him, Yao Xia hurriedly urged the boatmen who rowed the boats to go to the east bank of the Chu River as fast as possible.

"Uncle, it is more dangerous to sail in the wind and waves at night, and the fast boat will capsize no matter how fast it is." A boatman said to Yao Xia.

"Slip forward as fast as possible, even if the boat capsizes, it is better than being caught by the enemy." looked at the big boat chasing behind, and Yang Yun on the boat on the side said loudly.

More than 20 boats are moving fast on the river, and because of the high speed of the river, the boats are lying together on the river, which is very dangerous.

The pursuing Chu soldiers were all in large boats, and they were relatively stable and faster than small boats, so they were getting closer and closer to the team in front.

Seeing that the distance was approaching, many Chu soldiers began to fire arrows again. Although due to the strong wind and the bumpy ship, the accuracy of the bow and arrow shot was very poor, but it also caused great trouble to the Dafu soldiers.

At this time, Yang Yun and the others had no other way, so they had to let Yao Xia take the Dafu soldiers and shoot arrows to fight back while using shields to resist the opponent's bows and arrows.

If you don't row hard, you are likely to be killed by the bow and arrow of the Chu army, and in the face of danger, these boatmen finally tried their best to row forward.

The big boats chasing behind were quicker, but they set off much later than the small boats in front.

So, in these

With the boatmen rowing with all their might, the boats finally reached the east bank of the Chu River, and according to Yao Xia's command, they landed at a bend where the current was relatively slow.

Yao Xia chose to go ashore here because it was not a dedicated wharf, there was a lot of silt under the water, and small boats could dock here, but the big boats chasing behind could only go ashore on the wharf.

In addition, this place can also avoid interception by the soldiers of the Chu army guarding the east bank of the river.

The big boats chasing behind had apparently noticed the problem, but they had no choice but to turn around and move quickly towards the dock.

Yao Xia quickly asked people to move all the supplies ashore and gather everyone, but this time, Yao Xia was immediately dumbfounded.

Because there is one less in the boat, and the people sitting on this boat are Yang Yun and Chi Mu'er, and Qiao Yuwei and Duanmu Jiyue.

Yang Yun was actually gone, and the most terrible thing was that Yao Xia was in a hurry, and he hurriedly asked people to find those civil officials and Ju Yuanguang in the mission.

Ju Yuanguang had never been on a boat, and he was so seasick and dizzy that he was lying there, spitting and vomiting. Hearing that Yang Yun couldn't find it, he was also stunned.

The people in the mission heard that His Royal Highness King Wu was missing. They all said that they would return to Jiangzhong to find Yang Yun. But Ju Yuanguang thought about it and stopped everyone.

"I think that now that the Chu soldiers are about to chase after us, we should evacuate immediately, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out." Ju Yuanguang said loudly to everyone.

"But even if we all die in battle, we should go to His Royal Highness King Wu." There were soldiers in the mission shouting loudly.

Yang Yun has no stand in front of everyone, and he cares about the soldiers under him from the bottom of his heart, so he has a high prestige among the soldiers.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, we must look for it, but we can only find it secretly, if the people of Chu know that His Royal Highness King Wu has not succeeded in crossing the river, then he will be in danger." Ju Yuanguang calmly analyzed.

In the end, according to Ju Yuanguang's suggestion, most of the soldiers and the civilian officials in the mission went to the direction of Xunyang Pass overnight.

In addition, more than a dozen good players from Wu County were left behind, with Yao Xia and Ju Yuanguang, etc., secretly lurking in the territory of Chu State, waiting for an opportunity to find Yang Yun and Chi Mu'er and others.

So where did Yang Yun go? At that time, when the ships were hurrying forward, their vision was severely limited due to the darkness, so each ship could only follow the instructions and could not see the other ships.

The small boat that Yang Yun and the others were on was originally surrounded by all the ships in the center. However, in the process of sailing, in order to resist the arrows fired by the enemy in the rear and speed up the ship, the formation was unconsciously messy.

The boatman of the small boat made by Yang Yun is an old boatman with more than ten years of experience, and his skills are very good, so there should be no accidents.

But as the boat was moving forward, an arrow came through the crack and hit the boatman, who was rowing at the bow of the boat, and the boatman fell into the river before he could even snort.

Before Yang Yun and the others could react, the boat began to shake violently, and then flipped into the river all of a sudden.

Yang Yun's water nature is still very good, although Chi Mu'er is in the grassland, he often travels south and north, so he can also swim, but Qiao Yuwei and Duanmu Jiyue are typical landlubbers.

Seeing the two girls falling into the river and struggling, Yang Yun and Chi Mu'er had no choice but to rescue one girl each and wanted to get closer to a nearby boat.
