Although Cao Liang was in the middle of the Chinese army, he was the busiest person in the entire team, not only had to protect the safety of his family's team, but also had to look ahead and consider whether Wen Qin's vanguard had arrived in Xiaopingjin and controlled the ferry? Considering whether Sima Jun is chasing after him, can Cao Yan stop it?

When retreating, the morale and morale of the troops have basically fallen to the lowest point, and the combat effectiveness has dropped seriously.

The crossing of the Yellow River will be the biggest difficulty in this retreat, thousands of people are crowded on the south bank of the Yellow River, it is difficult to cross the Yellow River all at once, and Sima Jun's pursuers must be imminent, so many people's lives and deaths are only tied to Cao Yan's broken team, which shows how heavy Cao Yan's responsibility is.

Originally, Cao Liang was ready to break the queen by himself, but Cao Yan didn't allow it, insisting that he must break the queen, Cao Liang couldn't resist him, so he could only obey his fate.

However, Cao Liang was extremely concerned about the situation on Cao Yan's side, and sent people to keep an eye on him all the time, and immediately reported to him as soon as he encountered an emergency.

Wen Qin's side was progressing very smoothly, and he quickly arrived at Xiaopingjin.

There was originally a team of men and horses stationed on the ferry, responsible for the daily management of the ferry, and when the ferry commander saw Wen Qin's thousands of horsemen and horses roaring towards him, he was immediately dumbfounded, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of resisting, and immediately handed over the management of the ferry.

The Yellow River in the first month is still in the freezing period, so you can cross the Yellow River without a ferry, but the ice in the center of the river is very thin, if so many people rush to the ice at once, the ice is likely to have the risk of collapsing, after all, there are not a few people who fall into the ice cave of the Yellow River every year.

Wen Qin was helpless, after all, crossing the river was not his specialty, the wide ice surface of the Yellow River, the surging river water was completely frozen, only the uneven places can still see the traces of the waves, but who knows how many dangers are hidden on this frozen ice.

The ferry order gave Wen Qin an idea, which was to find some planks, lay them flat on the ice, and nail them together, so that both men and horses could step on the planks and cross the Yellow River.

Wen Qin's eyes lit up, this method was good, but in a blink of an eye, he was worried again, such a wide river, if all of it was paved with wooden planks, how many planks would have to be used? How could so many planks be raised in such a short period of time?

He didn't know what had happened in Luoyang, he thought that Wen Qin led his troops to come here, and he had a military business, so he did his best, he was familiar with the situation in this area, and told Wen Qin that there was a lumber yard five miles away nearby, and the timber in it was piled up like a mountain, but this lumber yard was the industry of Yipinju, and I heard that Yipinju had a deep family background, and he didn't dare to provoke people with a small ferry order.

Wen Qin was overjoyed when he heard this, God really helped me, and this lumberyard was actually the property of the Sima family, which was wonderful.

Without saying a word, Wen Qin immediately led his troops to the lumber yard five miles away, and the people who watched the yard agreed or disagreed, and emptied all the wooden planks in the lumber yard in one go.

The steward of the lumberyard was shocked, these soldiers were unreasonable and forcible and robbed, he couldn't stop it at all, so he had to move out of the banner of Yipinju and Sima's family, hoping to suppress these barbaric officers and soldiers.

Wen Qin just sneered, he was not moved at all, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to carry a reputation for killing innocents indiscriminately, he would have burned him down with someone at this time, and he was still here to be verbose, and now they and the Sima family are enemies, and they have no psychological burden at all to rob the Sima family's things.

The Xiaoqi camp was heavily manned, and soon transported the planks to the crossing of the Yellow River, and immediately spread them on the ice, and in just one or two hours, a plank bridge was laid on the ice of the Yellow River.

At this time, the first group of family members also arrived at the ferry, and Wen Qin began to organize people and horses to escort them across the river, but this "wooden plank bridge" was relatively narrow, and could only accommodate one person and one rider at most, and the speed of crossing the river was relatively limited.

However, it is already a very good thing to be able to cross the Yellow River smoothly, and it seems a little unrealistic to pursue speed at this time.

After Wen Qin crossed the river, he found that the other side of the ferry was guarded by Wei soldiers, who were stationed here on the order of Hu Fen, the Taishou of Hanoi, to intercept all passing pedestrians and merchants.

However, the number of Hanoi garrisons was not too much, only 200 people in a song, Wen Qin did not say a word, led the Xiao cavalry battalion to attack, and then beat the Hanoi soldiers to the ground and fled, easily controlling the north bank of the Yellow River.

In general, the crossing of the river was extremely smooth, Wen Qin led his troops to control both ends of the Xiaopingjin crossing, and all the men, horses and chariots drove one after another, reaching the north bank of the Yellow River one after another.

The only fly in the ointment is that the efficiency of crossing the river is slightly worse, and thousands of people want to cross the Yellow River, at least for a whole day, but they don't know if the broken team can stop the chasing soldiers of Sima Jun and win some precious time for the team to cross the river.

Cao Liang was relieved to learn that Wen Qin had found a way to cross the river and that the vanguard had crossed the Yellow River.

In fact, the most difficult thing to go north and merge with the state is the Yellow River crossing, the Yellow River crossing is like a bottleneck, seriously restricting the speed of the march, but sending Wen Qin as the pioneer is really the right person, Wen Qin is not only brave and good at fighting, but also thoughtful and meticulous, can completely stand alone.

The north crossing of the Yellow River has opened up the situation, and the only flaw is that the speed of crossing the river is a little slower, which undoubtedly provides a problem for Cao Yan after the break, I wonder if he can stop Sima Jun's pursuers?

While paying attention to the front, Cao Liang paid close attention to the rear, and the people he sent out kept an eye on the rear at any time, and reported to him at any time in case of emergency.

Cao Yan retreated to the mountain pass of Beibi Mountain, and took advantage of the terrain to successfully block the Sima army, Cao Liang naturally got the news at the first time, Cao Yan is old and strong, although he has not experienced a battle formation for more than 20 years, but the battle is still so vigorous, so that Cao Liang is very pleased.

However, it is still too early to say that the victory or defeat is too late, according to the speed of the whole team crossing the river, Cao Yan must hold on for a few more hours before retreating, Cao Liang can't help but secretly pray, hoping that his father will be safe and sound and withdraw smoothly.
