Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 48 Flying with the River

Standing on the top of the hill, overlooking the surging river in front of him, Nanying seemed to have a surging torrent in his heart.

The unstoppable Yellow River flows through here, but it is also difficult to resist the magic of nature, and it is forcibly split into two by the isolated island in the river called Dakoutan, and it is forced to divert and meet from both sides, like two thin yellow belts.

The two yellow belts are now filled with three parallel huge boats, which have become river bridges connecting the two ends of Dakoutan. On the ship, the sailors were busy lowering the heavy anchors, connecting the iron rings between the ships, and paving the connecting passages with solid wooden planks.

On both sides of the river bank and at both ends of Dakoutan, thousands of soldiers and people were even more busy, first digging the earth for the slope to form a ramp to the surface of the boat, and then weaving the dry grass that strengthened the friction into straw mats, which were spread all over the ramp.

Groups of soldiers and groups of men were coming, and large groups of chariots and horses were crowded in the narrow strip of land on the bank of the river, and all the people were waiting...... Waiting for the moment when their fate will be decided.

On the bank of the river, the small red and green flags were finally raised, and a request was sent to the southern eagle far away on the hill: everything is ready, just waiting for the trial!

"Permission!" Nan Ying nodded to the female flag commander beside him.

"Yes! Checkmate! Cui Yuxiu, who had been promoted to the commander of the naval army, replied loudly, she unfurled the double flag in her hand, and sent back the order to the long-awaited soldiers and civilians in the distance.

An old soldier from the Eagle's Nest jumped onto the chariot, and he skillfully drove the chariot around in a large circle, controlling the speed at a constant speed, and aligning the horse's head with the ramp ahead.

"Drive!" The veteran gritted his teeth, and the long whip struck the void with a snap, and drove the chariot towards the ramp. At the same time, a female soldier on Nanying's side also turned a small hourglass upside down.

The sound of "tuk tuk" hooves seemed to knock on the hearts of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, and everyone was in the spotlight. The chariot, instigated by two horses, rushed up to the bottom of the slope and galloped up the ship on the wooden paved passage.

"Ahh Thunderous cheers soared into the sky.

The chariot quickly crossed the three building boats, followed the downward ramp to Dakou Beach, and then ran all the way to the building boat ramp opposite the beach.

Nan Ying stared closely at the movement of the chariot, as if there were no waves in the ancient well, but in fact, he also secretly pinched a handful of sweat, until he saw the chariot galloping all the way and finally landed on the other side of the Yellow River, and then he exhaled a long sigh of relief.

"The hourglass of the moment has only fallen into more than a hundred!" The female soldier in charge of timing beside her cheered: "I can't believe it! Checkmate! ”

Nanying laughed too. Oh, yes. It took only three or four minutes to pass through the 300-meter river, which is incredible.

He took a step forward, reached out and waved down to the thunderous cheers.

"The general has an order! Start crossing the river! In an instant, the heralds' loud voices rose one after another.

"1st Tank Brigade, starters!"

"Fifth Cavalry Battalion, keep up!"

"The first Minfu thousand-man team, the third wave!"

"Quick! Come on! ”

"Naval soldiers. Be prepared for emergencies along the way! ”

Streams of people and vehicles poured towards the bridge, although dense and orderly.

Nanying nodded in satisfaction and motioned for the herald to continue to command according to the plan. But he turned and walked down the hill.

"What a calculation!" As soon as he walked down the hill, he heard Ma Yunluo say lightly: "Seventy thousand people....... Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to coerce the strong men of the twenty-one counties of Henan, and he also wanted to lead you to be fooled, but you have achieved your reputation of loving the people like a son!" ”

"Cut! Isn't your reputation a good one? Nanying grinned. He pointed to the tens of thousands of people in the distance who were like ants, and said leisurely: "What Ben Jiang really wants is to move all these people back to Bohai!" ”

"What?" Ma Yunluo said movingly: "The Bohai Sea is at least 800 miles away. With so many people, how can they easily move back? How much more will these people be? They're all natives! ”

"Don't worry about that!" Nan Ying smiled and said: "After Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, and then feel the generosity and kindness of my Bohai Navy, do you think they will return to the wolf's mouth?" What about being born and raised? In the next stage, Ben will not think about the war, but will try to gather the families of these people and move back to Bohai together...... There, they have fields to plant, they have food to eat, and they will soon forget about this sad place! ”

"What a big deal!" Ma Yunluo stuck out her tongue and said: "Then there are at least 200,000 people, they are no better than these strong people, they can only travel twenty or thirty miles a day, are you not afraid that Dong Zhuojun will chase and kill all the way when you return?" ”

"Let's not talk about whether my Bohai Navy has the ability to protect them!" Nan Ying said disdainfully: "The first thing Dong Zhuo has to think about now is to defeat the army of more than 200,000 princes from all walks of life first!" Hum! Now it's Ben's turn to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when they fight to lose, Ben will probably be almost busy, just in time to come out to clean up the mess! ”

"Besides! A large number of warships from our Bohai Navy will arrive soon, plus thousands of chariots......" He smiled hesitantly: "With such a strong transportation capacity, doesn't Yunluo still have confidence?" ”

"I don't understand!" Ma Yunluo shrugged her shoulders and said: "You have spent so much effort and mobilized so many troops, and you don't think about attacking the enemy army and regaining control of the imperial capital, but you only care about occupying the population!" ”

"What is precious in the world? Lives! What is capital in troubled times? Population! Nanying said calmly: "I want to protect the lives of the people, but also want to survive in troubled times, of course, I have to regard it as the first responsibility!" ”

"Look!" He raised his hand with longing and pointed to the great rivers and mountains in the east: "The world is full of smoke, and the war has destroyed their homes, but the vast land of the Bohai Sea is showing a thriving scene, and thousands of people live and work there in peace and contentment....... so how will the people of the world choose?" ”

"What is the imperial capital? It's just a city! He said proudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I never thought of controlling the imperial capital...... The wise man sees the fire and avoids the coolness, while the fool will put himself in the fire and let it be fried! ”

Ma Yunluo was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "So, have you ever thought that one day you will ascend to the throne of God?" ”

"How can you ask that?" Nanying smiled dumbly: "In your eyes, will Ben have such great ambitions?" ”

"You've always been wise, you've always been wise, you've always been ahead of the curve, and you've been forward-looking!" Ma Yunluo looked at him with a pair of deep and beautiful eyes: "Could it be that you are so deliberate to expand your strength, not to take that last step in the future?" ”

"Not interested!" Nan Ying said with some interest: "From the first emperor, I only saw one word, that is miserable!" I wouldn't be that stupid! ”

"Then if one day, there is no opponent in the world, the world is peaceful, and the ministers push you to change your generation!" Ma Yunluo chased after him and said, "What should you do?" ”

"If there really is such a day....... Nan Ying laughed, met Ma Yunluo's complicated expectant eyes, and said softly: "Yunluo will really understand my mind." Being invincible in the world means that I have completed the challenge to myself, and the world is peaceful, which means that I can leave with confidence...... And the day when the so-called ministers are established is the time when Yunluo and I quietly retreat! ”

"What?" Ma Yunluo could no longer hide the shock in her heart, she took a step back in disbelief, but her eyes radiated a look of surprise.

"Forgot about you and my adventures? Don't live up to this fate, I only want to accompany you......" Nan Ying slowly stroked her soft twinkle and said softly: "Live another hundred years!" ”

The two looked at each other, but they lowered their heads together a little bewildered, as if everything was silent.

"General!" A shout from a distance caused both of them to shrink their hands and retreat at the same time as if they were electrocuted.

"General!" Ma Jun ran over panting: "So far, our army has crossed a total of 10,000 people and 5,000 troops, and there are still 100,000 soldiers and civilians left on the south bank of the Yellow River...... It is expected that there will be at least one more day before it is all over! ”

"It's still a little slower!" Nanying said solemnly: "At least one more day?" Then the short-range encounter between our army and Lu Bu's forward corps may not be avoidable! ”

"Inform the Changsha army and let them withdraw from the defense line and join the group of crossing the river in batches!" He waved his hand and said, "Leave 3,000 cavalry and 200 chariots in a separate formation as a broken rear force...... In order to buy enough time, Ben is going to stay here himself and have a backwater battle! (To be continued......)
