The distant mountains are like iron, the Yangtze River dream has not yet woken up, and a round of red sun is struggling on the river, and the waves are bloody.

Si Chao squatted on the ground, holding a copper bowl in his hand, buried his head in the bowl, and ate a lot of mush, after a while, a large bowl of noodles was swallowed, Si Chao drank the best mouthful of soup, which was especially relieved.

Xiaoxiao Weiwei took the bowl and chopsticks from his hand, Si Chao stood up, wiped his mouth, looked at the soldiers who were drinking soup with a bowl in one hand and a burrito in the other, and then looked at the scenery on the river, and sighed.

People, once they are over fifty, they can no longer use their muscles and bones as their ability, thinking that back then, if there was bread to eat, they would never eat noodles, only the dry and tough dry food cakes were hungry, but now, they have to open a small stove.

He walked to his beloved horse, patted his cheek, grabbed a handful of bean cakes and added them to the straw bag, and then asked the guards who followed him: "The seventh hasn't returned yet?" ”

"It should ...... It should be back soon. ”

"Well, whether he comes back or not, the camp will be set up in two quarters of an hour."

“…… Promise. ”

The guard hesitated for a moment and then asked, "I don't have a letter, why don't you wait?" ”

"No, on the battlefield, you have to trust your allies."

"But what if it ......"

Si Chao snorted coldly and said, "There is no case." ”

The guards didn't dare to say more, and were about to turn around, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the first person was Si Qi, who was sent out to contact, and seeing that Si Chao had already strode to catch up, Zu Yongsheng hurriedly followed.

"How?"

"Everything continues."

Si Qi jumped down from the north of the horse, but his feet were weak and he almost fell.

"Don't worry, speak slowly." Si Chao grabbed his henchman with a smile on his face.

"This is Captain Tang in the Huya Army, specializing in the position of scout, and he has already touched the radius of Huangzhou City for dozens of miles, and he is most familiar with the situation."

Two strange young men hurriedly dismounted, and one of the younger young men stepped forward to salute: "Tang Dong, the commander of the scout battalion of the Huya Army, has seen General Si. ”

"Captain Tang is so young, I don't know how long the scout has been there?"

"Back to the general's words, the soldiers who began to be soldiers in the first year of humble rank and virtue have been scouts for more than three years."

Si Chao praised the young and promising, and then asked about the actions of the Huya Army.

Tang Dongdao: "General Cao sits in Qizhou, the Huya army is divided into two routes, the land route is led by General A with 300 cavalry, 1,000 foot soldiers, and the general will meet with General Si under the city, and the water route is led by General Shi, leading 30 warships and going upstream. ”

"General A? General Shi? Si Chao's face showed doubt, but his stomach was secretly bitter.

I heard that Cao Bin is known as Zhiyong Shuangquan, and he is three points stronger than Fu Yanqing when he was young, I thought it was a very pleasant cooperation, but how did I know that he couldn't come?

Tang Dong saw that Si Chao's face changed, how could he not understand, and explained at the moment: "General Cao is unwell, so he sent several generals from Jiashi, this General A has a single name and a single name, the character Yuanjing, and he is the first general in my Huya Army." General Shi's single name is obscure, and the word is good, which is after the envoy of the old town and the country. ”

Si Chao was suddenly moved, "But the armor tiger who fought with the Nanban Lin Huzi for dozens of rounds?" ”

Tang Dong thought to himself, sure enough, the rumors were exaggerated, last year it was still a legend of more than ten rounds, and this year it has become dozens of rounds, and then replied: "Exactly." ”

Si Chao laughed loudly: "That's a real tiger general, the three armies listened to the order, set up camps, and sent troops to Huangzhou." ”

"No."

……

Qizhou City, the backyard of the government, Cao Bin wears a curtain fence on his head, closes his eyes and looks into the sky, if you look closer, you will be able to see his inexplicable look of grief and indignation.

Qizhou near the river, a lot of fresh water, for Cao Bin, who is tied with Qin Yue as the two major foodies in Huyaying, don't be too happy, pufferfish, anchovies, saury, the Yangtze River three fresh ways to eat, and the green turtle is one of the four treasures of Qizhou, and also caught several stewed, and the food is called comfortable.

Then I don't know which day I ate the wrong thing, and I woke up one night, and my face was swollen into a pig's head.

This is really a shame for Cao Bin, who pays great attention to his appearance, except for Cao Yi and Lang Zhong, he has not seen anyone in the past three days, even Jia Yin led the army to the battle, he also spoke through the door.

This work, no matter what, should be done by him, and it is really unreasonable for the two armies to work together but only send their subordinates.

Cao Bin sighed and thought to himself, they are almost there.

……

In the north of Huangzhou, the Huya Army has successfully joined the division with the Si Chao army, when the enemy attacked and the city gate was closed, outside the city was the Taiping world, Si Chao deliberately asked the guards to bring seven or eight chairs to the people's homes, and set up tea to welcome the friendly army.

A tall and bear-like ironclad general and a handsome young silver-armored general roared in the escort of the guards.

"The last general Wu Jilie, Bai Xingba, see the general."

Si Chao was stunned: "General Wu, General Bai, what about you General A?" ”

Wu Jilie looked left and right for a moment, and smiled.

Si Chao waved his hand depressedly, there were no outsiders within three zhang under the crooked neck tree, and Bai Xingba bit a few words on Si Chao's ear like a monkey.

Si Chao's thick eyebrows raised, and he smashed the armrest of the chair with one palm, and the sentence "good courage" burst out.

Bai Xingba rubbed his hands and grinned, "He's like that, General Si, don't worry." ”

Si Chao patted his head, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What's the matter, it seems that it was a mistake to invite you to join forces in Huangzhou." ”

Wu Jilie patted his chest, and his loud voice shook the sky: "General Si just rest assured and wait for the good news." ”

"Now, that's all it can be."

……

Jiayin arrived, and arrived two days early, but not in the camp, but in the city of Huangzhou, with him there were flower guns, and Manid.

Since he left Qizhou City, he rode first, went all the way north and made a circle far away, entered Huangzhou from the north road, and used Manid's obvious face in the Western Regions as a cover, calling himself Hu Shang, and Jiayin and Hua Gun, one carrying a gun and the other carrying a knife, were naturally the bodyguards hired by Manid in the Central Plains.

The three of them swaggered into the city, and went straight to the mansion, under the effect of an agate stone in the Western Regions, the identity of the three robbers who escaped alone was affirmed, and they lived in the Wangjiang Inn in the city.

This is the inspiration that Jia Yin was inspired by the story that Qin Yue once told, and he is ready to come to the inside and outside, as for the team, it will be handed over to Wu Jilie and Bai Xingba, after all, it is to cooperate with the Si Chao Department to fight, and someone will take the big idea.

Huangzhou is bordered by the Yangtze River in the west and the Ba River in the east.

Si Chao's army surged down, and the Qizhou soldiers camped outside the north city, such a big movement immediately shocked the people in the city.

On the same side, Guo Xiao organized soldiers to defend the city, and on the other hand, he sent officials and archers to maintain law and order in the city, and the tense pre-war atmosphere shrouded Huangzhou City like a dark cloud, and pedestrians were no longer seen on the lively streets.

The three of Jiayin drank in the Wangjiang Inn in the west of the city, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

Wangjiang Inn, as the name suggests, can look at the river from the window, is located on the small dirt hill in the west city, climb high to see far away, so such an inn talks about Yaxing, most of the people who come to live are literati and ink writers, only now the war is frequent, the literati and ink writers are hiding in the south of the Yangtze River and dare not come over, and the empty door of the inn can be full of birds.

But the inn still has a score, not the slightest drop in price, fortunately, although the Hu merchant from the Western Regions suffered, but the spectrum should still be placed, only with a grain of agate in the pawnshop in exchange for silver, on the selection of the inn with the best scenery of the word A room, but it is a quiet small courtyard, downstairs to live servants, the second floor is the guest room, there is a hand verandah, can be overlooked by the railing.

At dusk, a white feather quietly appeared above the river.

Jia Yin walked out of the building, stood against the railing, a thin and long whistling sound came out, and the white feather in the air chirped happily, turned around lightly, and rushed towards Jia Yin.
