The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. ------Tang Dynasty. Wang Zhilian "Liangzhou Ci"

It is said that Chen Long was in Luoyang, went through many difficulties and dangers, and finally saved his beloved wife Zhang Ning. Ma Yuanyi committed suicide and survived the car crack. In the dark night, several people boarded a small black canopy on the bank of the Yellow River and sailed into the vast and unknown darkness.

In the small boat, the lights were dim, and Chen Long sat down on the deck tiredly, leaning against the bulkhead to breathe. Zhang Ning took out his daily clothes, and the two of them changed into night clothes and handed them to Lu Chang; Lu Chang also changed his night clothes and threw them into the river, destroying all the evidence related to the Luoyang robbery.

Zhang Ning sat on the deck next to Chen Long, leaning back in Chen Long's arms. Chen Longmo held Zhang Ning's long hair, and suddenly heard Zhang Ning gritted his teeth and said: "I vow to sword Cao Cao and avenge Brother Ma." ”

Long Chen was silent, only he knew what kind of opponent Cao Cao was. Not to mention that he knows how to make good use of people and is a meritocrat, even Cao Cao's own martial arts strategy and art of war strategy are also the top talents in the world, and it is difficult to say that he is sure to win the battle. Cao Cao's only weakness is lust. In the official history, he was almost killed by Zhang Xiu, and he directly killed Dian Wei, which is proof.

Now, because of his beloved wife, he has formed a big enmity with Cao Cao. Chen Long is ambitious, thinking that he will always compete with Cao Cao for hegemony in the future, let me avenge my beloved wife!

Zhang Ning curled up in Chen Long's arms and slowly fell asleep. Chen Long saw Zhang Ning in his sleep, his long eyelashes kept moving, as if he was suffering from a nightmare, and he felt pity in his heart.

The boat took advantage of the night to go down the river in the rolling Yellow River and the turbid water. According to Zhou Budo's predetermined plan, after the ship passed through the Tiger Pass, it had to land before reaching the important military town of Puyang, avoiding the search of the Yellow River embankment and the navy at the embankment in Puyang. The estimated voyage is about 300 miles, and even if it is down the river, it will take four days and three nights.

Zhao Da was in the boat, and he had already prepared dry food and clean water, but he was not afraid of lack of food and water. The sky was bright, Chen Long took Zhang Ning to the cabin, only to see the turbid waves of the Yellow River, the color is dark yellow, the rivers and mountains are sharpened, and there are poems praising the Yellow River clouds: "The Yellow River is ten thousand miles of sand, and the waves are blowing from the end of the world." Now go straight to the Milky Way and go to the home of the morning glory weaver girl. ”

Zhang Ning was beside Chen Long, and when he heard him reciting this ancient famous sentence, he couldn't help but lean on Chen Long's shoulder, and said intoxicatedly: "Long Lang, such a beautiful poem, is it really improvised by you?" ”

Chen Long's old face couldn't help but blush, of course he nodded in acknowledgement, and said with a smile: "I want to travel thousands of miles with my beloved wife to meet my father-in-law, just like a cowherd and a weaver girl returning to her mother's home." Zhang Ning smiled, rarely showing a smile like a flower.

Chen Long saw that Zhang Ning was rarely so happy, and his heart was also happy. Accompanying Zhang Ningzheng to laugh, Zhou Budo came over and pointed to the guide shore and said, "Master, look at the flag on the south bank." ”

Chen Long put his hand on the pergola, and looked at the south bank along Zhou Budo's hand. I saw that there were undulating hills in the depths of the dense forest on the south bank, and a banner was faintly revealed on the top of the hill, and I thought that this was the army and horse camp of the imperial court. Zhou Budo said: "The south bank is located between Luoyang and Tiger Prison Pass, and it should be the place where the imperial court recruited volunteers from various states and counties. Fortunately, there was no sailor drill in this section, otherwise the channel of the Yellow River might have been blocked. ”

Chen Long asked, "Then where are the sailors on the Yellow River stationed?" ”

"The army in the north paid little attention to the training of sailors. The only naval division, concentrated in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in Puyang and Qingzhou, was also mainly used to transport land troops. Zhou Budo's small eyes flashed with wisdom and said: "This section of the Yellow River, from Luoyang to Hujiaoguan and then to Chenliu, there are no sailors, only merchant ships. ”

Chen Long nodded, looked at the flag on the south bank, and saw the flag fluttering slowly, gradually disappearing into the valley, and said, "This is the marching team." Suddenly, he suddenly realized: "This should be Lu Zhi's troops, and they have already been mobilized." When Zhang Ning heard this, his body became nervous, and he couldn't wait to grow his wings and fly to his father's side.

Chen Long felt Zhang Ning's nervousness and pulled her to the cabin to rest. Zhou Budo followed up and said: "Therefore, our waterway should land in the area around the north bank of Chenliu, bypassing Puyang and Yecheng, and we can find General Tiangong's troops." ”

Chen Long listened to Zhou Budo's analysis and comforted Zhang Ning: "Our speed should be faster than Lu Zhi's troops. Zhang Ning was a little relieved.

Chen Long turned his head and asked Zhou Budo: "How is the troop configuration of the surrounding imperial courts?" Zhou Budo frowned and said: "Although we can rush to Yecheng before Lu Zhi's troops, Puyang has 50,000 elite soldiers from Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, Yecheng has 30,000 elite soldiers from Taishou Han Fu, Handan has 10,000 elite soldiers from Yuan Yun, and 10,000 elite soldiers from Baoxin in the plain, which just forms an encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army near Yecheng." It is estimated that after receiving the emperor's holy order, he has already prepared his troops. ”

Chen Long shook his head slightly, Zhou Budo understood, said no more, and walked out of the cabin. Chen Long hugged Zhang Ning, felt her tremble all over, knew that she was anxious, and comforted: "Although they are all troops of the Han Dynasty in name, in fact, all states and counties support their own troops, and the holy decree is just a dead letter. Now, it is clear that everyone wants to let other people's troops go up first, so that they can fight together, which is simply a fantasy. Zhang Ning knew that what Chen Long said was reasonable, and he was a little relieved.

When it is dusk, the sunset is like blood, and the water waves of the Yellow River are golden, and the scenery is beautiful. Lu Chang and the others knew that the sister-in-law was anxious, so they changed shifts and continued to sail. There is a lonely Xiongguan on the right bank, looking at the eaves of the bucket arch in the distance, towering straight to the blue sky, the lonely city is absolutely blocked, solid as gold. Chen Long saw that Xiongguan was abrupt, calculated the mileage, and knew that he had arrived at the famous Tiger Pass. At this time, there is no rise of Liu Guanzhang, I wonder if there will be the first three heroes of the Tiger Prison Pass to fight Lu Bu?

The blood in the blood was fluttering, and suddenly the boat shook violently, and the momentum of progress seemed to be blocked by something, and it actually began to fight horizontally. Lu Chang at the front shouted: "There is a barrage in the water!" ”

When Chen Long heard this, he was surprised in his heart, and then Zhou Budo hurried over and said: "Master, although the guards of this Tiger Prison Pass, although there is no water master, they have blocked the river with iron cables here and cut off the water transportation. I don't know if it's because the news of the accident in Luoyang reached the Tiger Prison and was just stopped? ”

Chen Long and Zhang Ning rushed to the front and saw that in the middle of the big river, several iron cables as thick as children's arms were floating and sinking in the water, just blocking the river. At this time, a ship that looked like a merchant ship was sailing from the direction of Tiger Prison Pass along the iron cable, slowly approaching, and the soldier at the bow of the ship shouted: "Listen to the ship in front, this place has been blocked, quickly stop the ship and dock for inspection." ”

Lu Chang yelled and asked: "I'm waiting for the return ship from Jizhou, and I'm about to rush back to Jizhou, so I hope it's convenient!" ”

The soldier ignored it and commanded the big ship to come over, Chen Long sent Zhang Ning into the cabin, and Hu Ji and Hao Pu secretly prepared their crossbows and came to the foredeck. Zhou Budo waited for the soldier to come over with a few people, took out a big silver ingot, and negotiated: "This official, we are just businessmen from Jizhou, we have just finished doing business, and we are eager to go home, please make it convenient for us to come over." ”

The soldier was obviously a small leader, and he stuffed the silver into his waist and said: "Fellow, Jizhou is going to fight, and we have just been ordered to block the waterway here, and no ships are allowed to enter or leave." For the sake of the silver, I am not difficult for you, go back. ”

Zhou Budo was in a hurry, entangled and didn't let go, the head of the soldier became strange, and pushed Zhou Budo aside with a slap and said, "You are very unreasonable!" Since you refuse to turn back, tell all of you to come out and register! ”

Chen Long knew that it was not good, and as soon as he made his eyes, Hu Ji and the others raised their crossbows and shot down the soldiers one by one. As soon as Chen Long flew onto the other party's merchant ship, the green dragon dagger was already in his hand, and when he saw one destroying the other, he was about to break into the cabin, when suddenly a figure quickly pounced out of the cabin, and the bright steel knife in his hand slashed at Chen Long's head. Chen Long turned sideways and dodged the blade, and the Qinglong dagger did not contact the steel knife at all, and directly entered the throat of the person.

The man popped and fell to the deck, and Chen Long picked up his long knife, which was very sharp and hung on his waist. Lu Chang and a few of them had already boarded the boat, swept away the personnel inside and outside, and also caught a live mouth. Seeing that the boatman was dressed up, Chen Long pointed to the dead body on the deck and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

The boatman was already shaking, and when he saw the question, he quickly replied: "This person is Hu Zhao, the deputy general of the Tiger Guard General Wang Qiu." The villain is just a rower, and the adults let the villain go. ”

Chen Long frowned and thought about it, he killed Wang Qiu's lieutenant, if this Hu Zhao didn't go back for a while, I was afraid that it would arouse suspicion and attract more ships and soldiers. "I can let you go back, on the condition that you sail back as fast as you can, and when you arrive, you must not touch the guards, so you can quickly and quietly flee, so that they can only see an empty ship." If you arrive within an hour, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth, and this Hu Zhao is your example. ”

The boatman kowtowed like garlic and agreed, Chen Long raised the steel knife he had just captured, and said to the boatman: "If you are lucky, I will show you my methods." Saying Xuan Gong silently, his body rose into the air like a flag flower cannon, and when he reached the highest place, he turned his body and shot into the water like an arrow, and the steel knife was covered with internal force, hitting the iron cable of the barrage hard, and the splash was faintly mixed with the sparks of the collision of two irons.

At that time, there were no binoculars, the water on the Yellow River was foggy, and the shore was far away, so Chen Long was not afraid of the soldiers on the shore to see it. The boatman saw that the steel knife in Chen Long's hand had been rolled into twists, and when he looked at the iron cable, several iron cables were hit by a huge force, and they were broken into two pieces and slowly sank into the river. The boatman's surprise is not trivial, and the kung fu of this hand is enough to shock the world and shock the world. The boatman knelt down on his knees and bowed, "My lord, you are a god descending from heaven, and I am only flesh and blood, how dare I deceive in the slightest." Lu Chang and the others were also stunned, knowing Long Chen's true strength, they were even more desperate for him. Zhang Ning had already left the cabin, and he was also dumbfounded, and said in his heart Long Lang's martial arts, I still underestimated it.

Chen Long ordered the corpses to sink into the river before letting the boatman go. The boat crossed the barrage and continued to march towards Chenliu. Chen Long bought an hour, just enough time for them to reach the predetermined landing site on the north bank of the Yellow River. Chen Long ordered the ship to be scuttled, and everyone changed into clean clothes, carried fresh water, climbed the hills on the north bank, and disappeared into the vast jungle on the north bank of the Yellow River.
