Weapons and armor are the bones of the army, the material basis of the army, if even the weapons and armor are handed over, can it still be called the army?

Li Yuanzhan said: "This is not good! Aren't you tantamount to disarming us and sending us into exile? No, no, absolutely not. ”

"Armor, as long as the armor, you take the weapons!" Amuro retreated, "Otherwise, even though I am the head of the clan, it will be difficult for me to explain to the clansmen!" ”

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and Amuro, as the head of a clan, has to put the interests of the clan first.

Li Yuanzhan thought about it, anyway, it's not good if you don't have a lot of armor, so I'll give it to you, I hope you won't regret it then.

"Then it's a deal!" Li Yuanzhan said.

Each of them takes what they need.

Amuro also got what he wanted, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will see you off." ”

However, it was said that Qu Ping led the cavalry and galloped all the way along the traces of the enemy, but lost the traces of the enemy by the river.

Duan Zhengxing came back from a round of the river and said, "Marshal, judging from the traces of silt by the river, the enemy should have fled from the waterway. ”

"Did you swim back?" Wu Gong said.

Duan Zhengxing said: "General Wu said that he was laughing. As far as I know, this place belongs to the Ayue Department, and they have always listened to my Duan clan and have been in charge of the water and land commercial transportation of Yunnan and Jiaozhi. ”

Qu Ping heard Duan Zhengxing's implication, this Ah Yue Department was in charge of the local waterways, and perhaps they sent the Jiaozhi soldiers away through water transportation.

Qu Ping said: "So, we have to deal with Ah Yuebu." ”

"The Ayue tribe is very hidden, and ordinary people have no way of knowing it." Duan Zhengxing said.

"You're an ordinary person, too?" Qu Ping asked.

Duan Zhengxing really didn't know, and said embarrassedly: "Let the marshal see it." ”

Since the Azukibu is prosperous in water transportation, then you must be able to find the people of the Azukibu on the water.

Qu Ping ordered: "Search downstream, and if you see someone on the shore of the river, you can't let it go!" ”

Twenty miles downstream, a tributary less than ten meters wide appeared, blocking the way.

The soldiers who were exploring the way in front thought that the water was shallow, but when they went down, they drowned even the men and horses. If it weren't for the timely rescue, one person and one horse would have been lost.

"Why is this seemingly small tributary so deep?" Wu Gong asked.

There must be something strange about this.

Azuki is good at water transport, and this deep river is estimated to be dug deep for boating on the basis of the original. Maybe if you go along this tributary, you can find the traces of Atsukibu!

Now that the matter was finally settled, Qu Ping ordered his troops to move along the tributaries.

"Report to the marshal, there is no road ahead!" The forward probe returns to the horse.

Qu Ping rode his horse to take a look, and sure enough, the road ahead was cut off, surrounded by water on three sides.

It's not going to go to a dead end, is it? What can I do?

Duan Zhengxing looked into the distance and said, "My lord, there seems to be land in the water in the distance!" Duan Zhengxing slapped his thigh after speaking, "I remembered!" This is the entrance to the Azuki department, which is good. However, it is said that its entrance is set according to Zhuge Kongming's eight array diagrams, and the water and land cross back and forth, and the living cannot enter! ”

Qu Ping clenched his fist into a telescope and looked around, it was really like this, and if he walked forward, he entered the labyrinth.

But I won't break this gossip array.

Whether to move forward or to find your way back is a question.

It's all the last step, you can't go back, right? It is impossible to turn back if you go forward!

Qu Ping resorted to the most primitive and crude method of opening the way, and shouted towards the uninhabited river: "Hey, is there anyone? ”

What answered him was a slightly fishy smell wafting from the river.

Everyone looked at Qu Ping in amazement, shouting like this, can it have an effect? If it was clear that it was the people of the Ah Yue Department who sent away the Jiaozhi soldiers, how could they ignore us?

No one talked. There are no boats, and I am afraid that the water is difficult to wade.

Qu Ping asked Duan Zhengxing: "Ah Yuebu is so mysterious and easy to defend and difficult to attack, how did you subdue them back then?" ”

"It seems like they came to vote automatically. The father promised them that they would only ask to be able to control the waters and pay the taxes. Duan Zhengxing recalled.

It's going to be difficult, if Ah Yuebu doesn't come out, he can't just wait, right?

Qu Ping looked at the water flowing out of Ah Yuebu, and had a plan, since Ah Yuebu is in the upper reaches of the water, then I will cut off the river here, the upstream water will definitely rise, and Ah Yuebu will face the risk of flooding, maybe only honestly come out.

Just do it! century

Qu Ping ordered the troops to move like ants, transporting soil and rocks and throwing them into the water, believing that before tomorrow, the water will rise and the shore will disappear, and the people of Ayuebu who are in order to make a living will definitely come out.

In fact, someone came out that evening.

A boat slowly rowed out of it, and a junior came out of the canopy and shouted, "Hey! What do you do and why do you fill up the river? ”

Wu Gong responded loudly: "Open your eyes and look at this big banner!" Great Song Army! ”

When the man saw Song Qi, he pretended to be surprised: "The Great Song Kingdom is far away, why did you send troops here?" Is it going to attack us? ”

Duan Zhengxing came forward and said: "I am the prince of Dali, and Dali has already announced that the world has joined the Great Song Dynasty and changed its name to Yunnan. This time, the heavenly soldiers of the court are here to kill the enemy army, you should quickly ask your patriarch to come out and speak, otherwise you will be punished for the following crimes! ”

"It turned out to be the son of the world, so I'll go back and tell our patriarch." After the latter finished speaking, he rocked the boat and went back.

In a short time, a large ship swayed from far to near, with a large flag on the bow embroidered with a curved moon. There was a group of people standing on the deck, led by the leader of the Ayue tribe, Amaoluo, and his baby daughter, Ayue, the one who took Li Yuan into it. She was the only one in the crowd who was majestic and heroic, and she was in the spring breeze.

The ship came closer, but it didn't come to the shore. Amuro was afraid that he would be taken by the Song army as soon as he landed on the shore.

Amauro let the ship anchor a little distance from the shore, bowed to the shore and saluted, "The prince has not been far away to greet him, and he is rude, and I hope that the prince will forgive his sins." ”

Duan Zhengxing saw that he had parked the boat far away, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, and said, "It's not necessary to atone for my sins with me." Do you know who this adult is? ——Our Song Yongguo Gong, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, General Qu! ”

Amauluo said in his heart: "What a big basket this cross-toe poke, it actually alarmed the Lord Guogong, and he is still the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, this is amazing!" ”

He hurriedly said: "The contemptible Amura has seen Lord Marshal. The marshal has come from afar, so it is better to move to the humble house, so as to give a little entertainment! ”

Because the Ayue tribe is a patriarchal system and is not subject to the official canon, Amura will not call himself a subordinate official or something.

Qu Ping first praised and flattered him: "Your feng shui treasure, coupled with the extraordinary wisdom of the ancestors, with the power of the devil's axe, has created such a deep water labyrinth, which really makes this handsome admire!" ”

Amuro was ashamed in his heart, no matter how clever I was, I was also broken by your simple trick of filling the soil and cutting off the stream.

Ah Yue said: "What ancestors, this is all the wisdom of my father!" ”

Amuro hurriedly grabbed Ah Yue: "Don't talk nonsense, adults talk, children don't interject." Forgive me, Lord Marshal, don't be like a little woman. ”

Qu Ping looked at Ah Yue, who was a little rude and a little rude, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the wisdom of the patriarch, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Such a huge project is not something that ordinary people can do. This strange woman must be the daughter of the patriarch, and she really has the demeanor of the patriarch, she is heroic, and the women don't let her eyebrows! Ha ha! ”

"Nonsense, everyone says I'm like my grandma!" Ah Yuexin said quickly.

Amuro was sweating, and he knew he wouldn't let you follow. He hurriedly apologized and said, "Forgive me, the little girl has been spoiled since she was a child, which makes you laugh." ”

"It doesn't matter, your daughter is a rare true temperament. If it weren't for the rush to chase down the Jiaozhi army, I would have to get to know each other! Qu Ping smiled.

Ah Yue saw Qu Ping smiling like a thief, thinking that you men in the Great Song Dynasty, especially high-ranking officials and magnates, like groups of wives and concubines, and you must not know any good people.

Ah Yue said: "Although you are a high marshal, I will not marry you reluctantly, I want to marry a general who stands up to the sky and the earth, and is a man who charges into battle!" ”

Qu Ping was confused, where is this? I'm just saying I want to get to know you, and you're taking yourself too seriously, aren't you?

Amuro pulled Ah Yueqiang behind him and frightened: "Shut up! Nothing big or small! He said to Qu Ping again, "The little girl is not sensible, I promise that she will not talk nonsense again." ”

"Haha, that's easy to say! So let's get down to business! Qu Ping went straight to the point, "According to my inference, the escape of the Jiaozhi army has nothing to do with your help!" ”

Such a direct question made people on both sides fall silent.

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air.

Qu Pingxiao reasoned and said: "The Jiaozhi people are scheming, and they have repeatedly harassed the Great Song Guangnan West Road, as well as Yunnan, and the people are miserable. This time, he ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, conspired to collude with the former Dali Gao family, wanted to subvert the Dali regime, and even sent troops to invade hundreds of miles to besiege Duan Wangye, so that Wang Ye almost fell into a situation of life and death. ”

He was moved with affection: "My Great Song Dynasty court is benevolent and loving, and I can't bear to let the people be trapped in fire and water, and people's lives and property are subject to the enemy, so I sent troops to rescue them day and night." There is a way that those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away! ”

Qu Ping said it righteously, and Amuro was a little nervous, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Qu Ping continued: "Ah Yuebu has lived in the frontier for a long time, and the news is not clear, we can understand this. However, you have disregarded the life and death of the people, and the honor and disgrace of your compatriots, which is chilling! We are a family with the same ancestors and blood thicker than water! ”

As if Amuro was awakened by thunder, he knelt down and repented: "It's all because I'm confused for a while! I thought of possessing the old with that Li Yuan, but I neglected the flesh and blood connection with my compatriots. If it weren't for the marshal's words, I would still be in a daze and wouldn't wake up! I hope that Lord Marshal has a lot, give me a chance to make meritorious contributions! ”

Since Amuro knew that he could not compete with the officials, it was better to join the army as soon as possible. In this way, he not only got rid of the favor of Li Yuanzhan, but also lived up to the trust of the imperial court. In private and public, but seek a peace of mind.

Qu Ping was overjoyed: "The patriarch is so refreshing, but I was a little surprised. To have the help of the patriarch is really like a fish in water! ”

Amura hurriedly ordered someone to put him close to the shore, and said, "There are still a thousand ships in the entire clan of the Ayue Tribe, and they can all be provided to the marshal to drive!" ”

Although the ships of the Ayue Department cannot be compared to the ships of the Great Song Dynasty, what can be faster than taking a boat down the river to reach Thang Long, the capital of Jiaozhi!

Three days later, the rear of more than 30,000 troops had arrived, and the whole army selected a total of 30,000 elite divisions, and sent them to Jiaozhi by boat, pointing directly at Thang Long.

At the helm of the ship were experienced helmsmen from the Azuki Division, and surprisingly, it was Amura's daughter Azuki who led the process, as well as her cousin Azuku.

Thousands of boats are competing, waving flags, and the river is blocked, like a giant dragon.
