Chapter Ninety-Eight: Crossing the River

Luo Rucai was quite generous, and smashed one million taels of silver to Zhang Xuan in one go. Zhang Zhen couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, this is not good. ”

"What's so bad." Luo Rucai said.

"Don't suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness. If this news spreads, I'm afraid it won't be good for General Zhang. Zhang Zhen said.

Although it has not yet reached the south of the Yangtze River, it is only the north of the Yangtze River, and the north bank of the Yangtze River is also richer than the Fengyang area. However, even if several prefectures and counties are gathered, there may not be as many as one million taels.

If there were no salt merchants in Yangzhou, they might not be able to take out a million taels of silver in one go.

"What's so bad." Luo Rucai said: "Whoever is not happy, just tell them that Jiangnan is in front of them, and they don't want silver yet?" ”

When Zhang Zhen heard Luo Rucai say this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he said: "Half of the scholars in the world are out of Jiangnan, Your Highness must not offend the gentry in Jiangnan, otherwise even if you win Jiangnan, you may not be able to collect much tax." ”

"Hmph." Luo Rucai sneered, he couldn't see Zhang Qian's appearance, but he didn't have more thoughts than Zhang Zhen was entangled in what hadn't happened yet. said: "Lone knows." ”

"I'm glad to be on the plate." Hei Yunxiang broke in and said, "The young master has already boarded the quarry. ”

Luo Rucai was overjoyed when he heard this, and an abnormal flush appeared on his face, and he looked extremely excited, and slapped the chair heavily and said, "Okay." The jade dragon lives up to my expectations. The order went down, and everyone prepared to cross the river. ”

"Yes." Hei Yunxiang said, "I'll go down and order." ”

During this period of time, Luo Rucai was not idle, and collected all the boats in the Jiangpu area, there were more than 1,000 ships large and small, if Luo Yulong could not cross the river, Luo Rucai would be ready to force the crossing. However, at this moment, Luo Yulong made the first contribution to crossing the river. Although it has made a good start, but those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and there is a good start, and there is not necessarily a good result.

"Your Highness, do you want to do it over there in Yangzhou?" Zhang Zhen said.

"No need, send an order to Zhang Xuan, he was reappointed as the governor of Jiangbei, the governor of the prefecture and county north of the Yangtze River. Just look at the back of the army. Luo Rucai said.

Zhang Zhen immediately understood that Luo Rucai didn't want Zhang Xuan to make any contribution in the battle of crossing the river from the beginning, and one hundred taels of silver could be regarded as appeasement in advance.

The protagonist of this battle is Luo Yulong, and even Luo Rucai is a supporting role.

On the surging Yangtze River, dozens of ships crossed over, Luo Yulong stood in front of the boat, wearing armor, and the river breeze blew Luo Yulong's cloak, swaying incessantly.

Luo Yulong only saw that the other bank was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and the whole river

, there doesn't seem to be a ship to stop them. It's just that when I arrived at the other side, I saw that the other side was not unprepared, and I saw that the long wooden trestle bridge above the pier was poured with fire oil at the moment and was burning brightly.

"Dock." Luo Yulong said loudly. He secretly said in his heart: "Without the trestle, I can't get ashore?" ”

Immediately, Luo Yulong's boat was the first to dock on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Luo Yulong's ships are all merchant ships, and the draft is relatively deep, so he can't rely on the riverbank, so he can only use small boats.

Luo Yulong took the lead, sitting on a small boat, and was about to approach the shore, but saw a flag suddenly raised on the shore, and hundreds of soldiers appeared.

Luo Yulong's heart suddenly tightened, but he didn't turn back at this moment. Luo Yulong pounced and jumped into the river, the river almost drowned Luo Yulong, between Luo Yulong's chest and abdomen, Luo Yulong was wearing armor, and no matter how light the weapons were, if he fell in the water, Luo Yulong estimated that he would not be able to stand up.

He rushed to the front, although there was a lot of mud under his feet, and every time he pulled his foot, it was very difficult. But fearless.

Luo Yulong behaved like this, and his own soldiers were naturally the same, puffing for a while, as if they were dumplings, and there were many people tossing in the water by the riverside.

"Xiu Xiu" one by one bow and arrow shot over, or fell into the water and drifted, even if there are occasionally a few fall on people, it is useless, Luo Yulong also hit an arrow, this arrow hung on Luo Yulong's armor, Luo Yulong reached out and grabbed it, pressed his thumb and index finger, and pinched off the arrow shaft, and then threw it, and the half of the arrow with the arrow actually entered the water without sinking.

"I've never seen such a light arrow." Luo Yulong sneered in his heart, and suddenly became more and more fearless, such an arrow that cut corners, even if it was shot on the body, would never be able to shoot through the armor, even if there was no armor, it might not be able to penetrate the skin.

Luo Yulong was wet, and one foot finally stepped on the ground, although the riverside was a little soft, but the feeling of being down-to-earth was really good.

Immediately, Luo Yulong shouted loudly and rushed towards the officers and soldiers, but before he could rush a few steps, these soldiers scattered with a bang, and almost no one dared to look back.

Luo Yulong was also taken aback.

There is only more garbage, not the most garbage, the level of Jiangnan soldiers has been fundamentally refreshed, and his judgment of the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops is the lowest.

After Luo Yulong went ashore, he immediately reorganized his soldiers and horses and seized the quarry.

Quarrying, as a very important ferry port on the Yangtze River, even if it is put on fire, the remaining foundation can save Luo Yulong a lot of effort, and Luo Ru only got the news, and it was only after Luo Yulong gained a firm foothold that he sent it over.

At this time, Luo Yulong took more than 1,000 soldiers all the way north to enter the Taiping Mansion

There was no resistance at all in the Taiping Mansion

Before, Luo Yulong thought that the official army had some conspiracy, but from the quarrying along the Yangtze River to the northeast, along the way, few dared to resist. Luo Yulong made a difference, almost everyone was left behind, only with more than 1,000 cavalry, to Nanjing, all the way to the wind, Luo Yulong did not even send people to take over, only let them prepare food to supply the army, and left him a big banner of Cao Ying, so that they and the people behind them accepted.

At this time, Luo Rucai also began to cross the river.

Luo Rucai is naturally not as adventurous as Luo Yulong.

The first wave to cross the river was none other than Li Rugui.

Without him, it is because Li Rugui is a pawn.

The cavalry is the absolute main force in the Cao camp, no matter from that aspect, but the cavalry is not suitable for water warfare, and the foot soldiers can be used as sailors, but the cavalry is carrying horses, and it is more troublesome to go above the water.

So this task naturally fell to Li Rugui.

Li Rugui was still a little trembling. But when they came to the top of the river and exchanged hands with the Caojiang Water Master, they suddenly found that the Caojiang Water Master was much weaker than they believed, and Cao Ying's temporary Water Master and the Cao Jiang Water Master actually crackled and tied.

Of course, there was a tie, not that the sailors temporarily formed by Cao Ying were very powerful, Li Rugui was a talent in water warfare, on the contrary, Li Rugui did not know how to fight water battles, and the water division of Cao Jiang had long forgotten how to fight water battles.

Therefore, the two sides collided together, like rookies pecking each other, and no one could help each other.

However, such a child's play-like war ended quickly, and I don't know what happened on the other side of the river

Without the resistance of the Caojiang water division, Li Rugui sent people to the south bank, and only when he went to the south bank did he know that Luo Yulong actually went from quarrying to Nanjing in one day and approached the city of Nanjing. And there were only more than a thousand cavalry around.

Li Rugui was shocked and immediately reported to Luo Rucai.

Luo Rucai was also afraid that Luo Yulong would lose, so without saying a word, he sent someone to start crossing the river

And Luo Rucai and his own guards were also in the first batch to cross the river, Luo Yulong had been waiting on the south bank for a long time, and only after waiting for the boat on the north bank to come, Luo Yulong hurriedly greeted him and said, "The child greets his father." ”

Luo Yulong was full of joy, feeling that he had fought a beautiful battle this time, and he thought that Luo Rucai would definitely agree with him, but he didn't want him to wait for the first sentence to say, but it was: "Bastard, I sent you to cross the river, did I let you be a pioneer?" ”

Luo Rucai saw that Luo Yulong was so angry that he couldn't wait to whip Luo Yulong immediately and give Luo Yulong a beating. Let him increase his memory.

Luo Yulong didn't understand Luo Rucai's thoughts, and said with grievances: "Father, what did the child do wrong?" ”
