Chapter 8: Luckily Succeeded
Just when a group of sturdy Xingtian military members slipped into the surging Yellow River shirtless, and the people on the ship of King Fu's fleet at this time, except for the boatman at the helm who had not yet fallen asleep, the guards who accompanied the ship had basically gone to play chess with Zhou Gong a long time ago, in their opinion, what else could happen to sailing in such a night? So no one saw the heads floating down the river at all, and after a short time they stuck to every boat.
After the black shadows climbed the hull of the ship, they flipped onto the big boat from the dark shadows that the lantern could not illuminate, and turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Liu Shaoqing was lying on a small bed in the cabin, hugging a naked beautiful maid, and he didn't hear the cabin door being slowly opened from the outside, until a cool breeze blew on him, and the moment he froze him up, he opened his eyes in a daze, but before he could see the affairs in front of him clearly, he felt that his neck was suddenly cold, and then a sharp pain came, he realized that something was wrong, and wanted to turn over and jump up and scream, but at this time there was a popping sound of air leakage on his neck, A stream of bloody arrows erupted from the wound in his neck, and the last image left in front of his eyes was a black figure with a bare back stabbing a knife into the chest of the beautiful maid beside him......
On the silent river shrouded in night, a terrible scream suddenly came from one of the boats in the flotilla that was slowly going up the river like a long dragon, and then someone shouted in horror: "Someone has hijacked the ship......
But the man's exclamation was only half as loud as it stopped, and then more people began to shout in the boats, and the sounds of screaming and fighting began to be heard from all the boats.
Under the light of the lanterns on each ship, many dark shadows began to appear on each ship, and the scolding, exclamation, and screams were all in one, and at the same time, there was also the sound of swords clashing, and the whole fleet was immediately chaotic.
This battle lasted for half an hour before it gradually quieted down, and a few boats in the flotilla on the river even caught fire, and a few boats broke away from the flotilla and began to turn around and accelerate in the direction of Luoyang, and a cheer rang out from all the boats.
Yang Kunshan stood on top of the head boat with a hideous expression, covered in blood, and there was a knife on his bare chest, which made his skin turn over, and he was still bleeding, but he didn't seem to see it, he didn't care about the knife wound on his chest, and shouted loudly: "Don't care about the burning and the fleeing ships!" Make a U-turn! Sail the boat back! ”
The rest of the boats have basically been controlled by Yang Kunshan's men at this time, and the fighting has basically stopped, and those shirtless Xingtian military troops, one by one, with sharp single knives, forced the boatmen who drove the boat, shouting loudly to order them to drive the boat to turn around, and those boatmen, under the persecution of these men, could only honestly obey their orders, obediently turned around and sailed in the direction of the ancient town, leaving only a few boats on fire that were quickly abandoned to the river, igniting a raging fire. The entire river surface is illuminated.
The more than 100 subordinates of the Xingtian Army, after a surprise attack, basically controlled about twenty grain ships, and only a few boats were left missing, and they were not able to successfully control them, and as a result, the guards on the ship killed the troops on the ship, seized the boat and fled, but such a result was already good for Yang Kunshan, he did not dare to delay, for fear of attracting other rescue government ships, and immediately commanded the fleet to turn around on the river, and also went down the river and headed towards the ancient town.
This battle was not too successful for Yang Kunshan, but fortunately, their actions were too sudden, so that the people in King Fu's fleet did not anticipate it in advance, and as a result, they were allowed to take advantage of the loophole, if it weren't for this, with their preparations, even if it was a sneak attack, it would be difficult to intercept so many ships, all of which did not show where they were smart, it could only be regarded as their luck!
However, this is enough for Xiao Tianjian, although he did not snatch back all the ships as he wished, but Yang Kunshan snatched back most of the ships, 30,000 stone grain is already quite rich for them, Xiao Tianjian almost didn't sleep all night that night, and has been standing on the bank of the Yellow River looking at the river, until the early hours of the morning, only to see a small boat quickly rushed back to the ancient town, telling Xiao Tianjian that they have succeeded, and the fleet of the big ship is rushing towards the ancient town.
So Xiao Tianjian was relieved, personally returned to the dock to wait for the return of the fleet, until after dawn, Yang Kunshan rushed back to the ancient town with the fleet, but by this time, the Yellow River had basically been boiled, after hearing the news, I heard that it was King Fu's fleet that was robbed, so he quickly gathered the generals and found ships to search for the hijacked grain ships along the river, but at this time the grain ships had already returned to the ancient town wharf.
Looking at the boatloads of rice, Xiao Tianjian's heart was completely put in his stomach, and with this nearly 30,000 stone of grain, his current food crisis can basically be dealt with.
It's a pity that more than 160 sailors who went out to fight this time, after all, they are not very experienced, and they have lost a lot, and more than 160 people went out, and only less than 100 people came back, and the rest of them were either killed on the spot on the boat, or they were injured and fell into the water, and many of the people who came back were injured, and even Yang Kunshan himself was in the middle of the fight on the boat, and he was stabbed and almost split his chest, and the loss was so great that it can be seen.
However, Xiao Tianjian is now accustomed to this kind of thing, since he has done this, he must have the consciousness of death, and at the cost of seventy people, in exchange for so much food, it is quite cost-effective for him, so after the fleet returned, Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered to soothe the soldiers who failed to return, and at the same time ordered to gather a large number of people in Yuanqu County, transferred a large number of carriages and horses, unloaded the grain on the ship on the spot, and began to transfer it to Lishan Town, and the boatmen on the grain ship that were obtained, Xiao Tianjian did not kill them, All of them were taken back to Yangcheng County for resettlement, and the boats were pulled upstream along the Yun River and the Haoqing River to hide them for later use.
King Fu only got the news of the robbery of the grain fleet a few days later, after hearing the news, King Fu was furious on the spot, full of fat and trembling with anger, scolding Liu Shaoqing, who was sent out to do things this time, was incompetent, and lost his income of more than 100,000 taels of silver, and almost pulled Liu Shaoqing's whole family out and buried him alive.
But after suffering such a big loss, how could King Fu give up, and immediately sent people to Mianchi and Xin'an County to order the local magistrate to find the culprit, and this matter is not difficult to investigate, two grain ships that fled back to Luoyang caught two subordinates of the Xingtian Army, and after torture, they learned who planned the robbery.
After King Fu learned that it was done by the group of Xingtian Army entrenched in Shanxi, he immediately sent someone to Shanxi to find Wu Fu, asking Wu Fu to find a way to get back his loss this time, but where does Wu Fu have the ability to exterminate the Xingtian Army now! In addition, he was also very unaccustomed to King Fu's approach, so he perfunctory King Fu's subordinates, and the matter was over.
