Chapter 186: Lost in the wrong way

It is said that since Tang Zhou betrayed his mentor and friend, he is also physically and mentally exhausted, and he is worried about current affairs and is extremely low-key. Unexpectedly, even though he followed Zhu Jun to fight in the deep mountains of Daze, he was still captured by the enemy. For a while, he let go of the big stone in his heart, and fell asleep under the steel knives guarded by the special combat team in the rope bundle and lock.

Chen Long shook his head and said, "I knew today, why bother in the beginning!" He ordered him to be tied to a horse, and he continued south to ask for his pursuers. Zhu Jun saw that it was unfavorable to pursue the enemy in the dark, and it seemed that the enemy was well prepared, and there were constantly dark arrows shooting in the night, so he told everyone to stop pursuing. Returning to the camp and lighting torches to investigate thoroughly, only one Tang Zhou was missing, and two unconscious guards were found in his big tent.

Zhu Jun sat in the middle of the big tent, remembering that Tang Zhou was the Yellow Turban Party, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, thinking that the Yellow Turban Yu Party still had such a method, and never gave up chasing Tang Zhou. Asked his subordinates to take some of the feather arrows left by the campers, all of them were wooden poles and white feathers, which seemed familiar, but they couldn't remember any clues. Zhu Jun had no choice but to order the whole army to stand by and wait for dawn to make plans.

Pressing Zhu Jun's depressed expression, Chen Long and others rushed to Jiangxia overnight, and their subordinates gradually converged in the dark night. When dawn came, passing by the surrounding areas of the town, Chen Long ordered the whole army to rest, let people enter the town and buy a simple carriage and horse, hid Tang Zhou in the car, and continued to go south. By night, it was finally only a few dozen miles away from the scheduled Huang Zhong warship.

The traces of the march of the large army can already be clearly seen here, and it is believed that the First Legion of the Blue Dragon also passed through here, and it may have just been on board the ship not long ago. Chen Long saw that the horse manure on the road was not too fresh, and thought that maybe his trip was a day later than the large army, I don't know if Huang Zhong left a boat for himself?

The mountain road by the Yangtze River was bent, and it was impossible to reach the river for a while, and the surrounding dense forests were getting thicker and thicker. That Tang Zhou had already woken up, and he only didn't say a word.

As he was walking, suddenly a human head stretched out from the jungle on the side of the road and shouted: "Lord, it's finally time for you!" Chen Long also knew him at a glance, it was Zhu Ting, Liu Yong's subordinate of the Fourth Division of the First Army, and it was he who arranged for him to go to the army camp back then. Hurriedly asked, "Liu Yong sent you here to answer it." ”

That Zhu Ting hurriedly crossed out of the woods, his clothes were in tatters, and his leather armor was torn, and Chen Long was taken aback and said, "Why do you look like this?" What's going on?" Ordered someone to send Zhu Ting some drinking water and dry food.

Although Zhu Ting was hungry early, his chest was pressed against his back, and he insisted and said: "Lord, the army crossed the river yesterday and was safe and sound. After the whole army crossed the river, because the lord had not yet arrived, his subordinates were ordered to take a team of 100 people to protect a warship and wait for the lord here. ”

"Unexpectedly, early this morning, dozens of Jingzhou warships suddenly appeared in the morning fog, and our army was caught off guard, and there was only one warship, which was shot and killed by the Jingzhou navy, and the warship was also burned."

Chen Long's brows furrowed when he heard this, he didn't expect that there would be extraneous branches, it seemed that his heavy army movements had been detected by Liu Biao. Zhuan Nian asked, "Do you know who is the leader of the Jingzhou Water Army?"

Zhu Ting shook his head and said: "I don't know, I desperately escaped, and waited for the lord for a day on this necessary road, when the fog was cloudy, and there was no way to see the enemy chieftain clearly." ”

Chen Long nodded, and asked Zhu Ting to rest and eat, there was no mastermind around him, so he could only ponder by himself, and couldn't help but say to himself to Lu Chang: "Foggy? How many people are coming from this Jingzhou water army?"

After thinking about it, only a few of the most trusted people knew about his whereabouts, so the goal of the Jingzhou Navy was definitely not to arrest him. It should be Liu Biao who detected the location of the First Army of the Qinglong Army crossing the river and sent sailors to intercept it, but he was a step too late, hit the auxiliary car by mistake, and burned the warship waiting for him. But I don't know how many people came? Who is the main general? It stands to reason that it should be Zhang Yun.

Lu Chang naturally knew that the lord didn't have to answer by himself, so he still responded: "Lord, do you think they will go straight to Changsha?"

One sentence frightened Chen Long, it's not impossible, if the First Army arrives in Changsha and immediately sends troops to Jiangling, under the emptiness of Changsha, I am afraid that it will be conquered by Zhang Yun's sailors in one fell swoop.

Thinking about it again, with Guo Jia and Zhou Budo in the First Army, how could they ignore the defense of Changsha. Thinking about it like this, I feel a lot more relieved.

Lu Chang frowned and thought about his heart, and didn't dare to intervene again. Seeing that the lord's face had improved, he asked, "Lord, if you don't have a boat, do you want to swim across the river?"

Chen Long waved his hand and said: "The Yangtze River is not as good as Xiangshui, and the water conditions are unknown, so it is too dangerous to swim across." I don't know if Zhang Yun's army blocked the Yangtze River, so we can only find another way. Zhang Yun's sailors blocked the Yangtze River, and even if Huang Zhong knew that something was wrong, he couldn't immediately send a boat to pick us up. ”

Saying that, a decision has been made, Jiang Xia originally had his own spy base, why bother to go far? Immediately pointed to a fork in the road next to him and said, "Find a way and go straight to Jiangxia." ”

Nowadays, the situation in Jingzhou is complex and changeable, and without a correct goal and direction, it will go astray, like a sheep on the wrong path. Jiangxia Huangzu's vacillation is a big variable. It is also unknown whether Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu can send troops to suppress the north bank of the Han River. Now Zhang Yun doesn't know how many sailors he has brought to Jiangxia, if he takes the lead in attacking Changsha and blocking the entrance to the Yuan River, he will undoubtedly destroy his plan to besiege Jiangling.

Chen Long sighed, he underestimated Liu Biao too much, he would never sit still. Because of his own negligence, he also caught up with Zhu Ting's team. There are still a lot of capable people on this Liu Biao's side, and the Kuai brothers alone are by no means good at stubble.

Dozens of special combat personnel broke into pieces and followed the path to the Xiling ferry outside Jiangxia City. Due to the unclear situation of Huang Zu, the city defense was extremely tight, all ships were strictly forbidden to sail, and only military patrol warships cruised on the river.

Seeing that Jiangxia's defense was so tight, Long Chen ordered people to wait on the periphery and found a village to settle in. After contacting the spy in the city, Chen Long found that the spy ship could not cross the river, and if he forcibly crossed the river, he might be discovered by the Jiangxia guards.

In a hurry, Chen Long made two preparations, one was to personally take the risk of contacting Huang Zu, move him with benefit, know him with affection, and then look at Huang Zu's attitude; The second is to find another location downstream, or find a boat, or swim across the Yangtze River with arms, and return to Changsha first before making plans.

Back where the special forces were, Tang Zhou was closely guarded, so naturally there was nothing to do. Chen Long weighed it again and again, it was too far to cross Jiangxia to cross the river downstream, and it would be even worse if the talks with Huang Zu collapsed, and finally decided to secretly use Jiangxia's warships to cross the river.

Long Chen's plan was to secretly seize control of a warship and cross the river disguised as Jiangxia's soldiers. For two consecutive days and nights, Chen Long sent people to observe the patrol and exit of Jiangxia warships, and came up with a timetable.

Through this timetable, Chen Long found that during the day, most warships would patrol and train on the river, and only two of them would not move. At dinner time every day, almost all the warships on the river would return to the military port, and then the two warships in the harbor that did not move during the day would go to patrol the river, and until midnight, there were almost no other ships on the river. As long as the warship can sneak into the harbor during the day and hide in the cabin from detection, and at night when it reaches the river, it will naturally be able to seize control and control the warship to cross the river.

The only difficulty in this plan was to board the warships docked in the harbor in broad daylight. For this reason, Chen Long first swept a logistics warehouse in the city at night, and only took away a hundred sets of Jiangxia military uniforms. No one has taken stock of these uniforms for half a year, so naturally no one immediately found out about the loss.

After everything was ready, and the rhythm of the change of shifts at the military port was figured out, the first step of Chen Long's squad was to set up an ambush on the road between the army battalion and the port. The army battalion sent four shifts of nearly twenty soldiers each day to the port for shifts. Between the army camp and the port, there were about ten miles of mountain roads, and every day the soldiers went back and forth on foot, patrolling the suburbs between the city and the ferry.

Tricks such as roadblock hijacking are the specialty of the special forces. In the afternoon of that day, more than 20 patrol soldiers, under the leadership of the squad leader, walked through the extremely familiar mountain road, from the barracks to the port, and suddenly saw a group of small troops wearing their own military uniforms coming from the opposite side, and the two sides were about to pass by in a trance.

The team leader felt strange, and saw that the person opposite was tall and wearing the captain's uniform, and asked, "Brother, which part of you are the password?"

With a smile on his face, the man approached and opened his mouth to shout, "Do it!" A palm cut at the back of the squad leader's neck was Lu Chang. This is still to meet Huang Zu in the future, and his subordinates are merciful, otherwise the team leader's life will not be guaranteed. The special combat team members had already shot together, slashing the Jiangxia soldiers around them unconscious, and more than 20 people fell to the ground in an instant.

Chen Long came out of the forest next to him, and looked at the results with satisfaction, the special forces have been trained hard, and the killing efficiency has become higher and higher, but unfortunately the weapons are still backward, if there are a few special operations automatic firearms....... Alas, thinking too far.

Chen Long pretended to be dissatisfied, patted Lu Chang's head and said, "Stupid, you, why do you ask for the password when you are completely dizzy?" As he spoke, he motioned for the team members to drag Jiang Xiabing into the woods and tie them up.

Lu Chang was embarrassed to wake up the team leader with cold water, and used the dagger to compare up and down for a long time, and he was so frightened that the team leader was full of feces and urine, and the password for the day he confessed was the Yangtze River, and the other party replied that it was dangerous.

There was another disturbance, there was no trace of fighting on the mountain road, and the soldiers tied up in the forest were gagged with stinky socks. Tang Zhou was also wrapped in the middle of the team, gagged with a rotten cloth, covered his face with a cloth, and covered his head with a helmet, although the image was slightly weird, but there was no flaw.

Chen Long first led a team of twenty people, swaggered outside the port barracks, and said that the password was changed. The captain of this shift had already assembled the team, and when he saw Chen Long's face, he shouted: "Yangtze River!" ”

Chen Long responded: "Natural danger! ”

The shift captain smiled and said, "You're new!" Isn't Da Liu's group coming today? ”

Chen Long also smiled: "The younger brother was originally guarded in the city. It just so happened that Da Liu was transferred to me to help with the service, so the general temporarily replaced my team. ”

Shift changes in the barracks are also a common thing, and the generals on the scene give temporary orders, how dare the soldiers disobey? The captain did not doubt it, smiled and pointed to a few military tents in the distance and said: "Brother, those military tents are all night shift sailors sleeping, all of them are thorns, tell your soldiers to be careful when patrolling, don't wake them up." As he spoke, he and his subordinates hung their children and left.

Chen Long saw the team of shifts walking away, and beckoned, and dozens of subsequent special combat team members had already come with Tang Zhou in their arms, and quickly boarded one of the two warships docked on the shore. The ships were huge, and there was space in the bottom compartment, and the soldiers were hidden under the lowest deck. At that time, they were all sailboats, and there were usually no soldiers to inspect the bottom warehouse. When the ship leaves the harbor and reaches the river, all that remains is to deal with a boatload of soldiers.

Chen Long left a few people to guard the gate, so that the sailors who were on the night shift would not wake up and not see the army patrols on the shore suspicious. Chen Long demanded that the last few remaining soldiers could find a way to return to Lingling in the future.

In the bottom warehouse, I couldn't see my five fingers, but I only heard the sound of everyone's breathing. Chen Long closed his eyes tightly in the dark, and it was rare to have a moment of calm, and he couldn't help but think carefully about Liu Biao's military deployment and strategy. It suddenly occurred to me that since Liu Biao had decided to fight against him, how could he be so isolated? If his helper wasn't Huang Zu, who would it be?
