Chapter 1248: A Brief Break Before Crossing the River
Whether it is the second prince of Beiqing who acts fiercely, or the eldest prince who only sits on half of the dragon chair in Nanqing, after being the royal family of Daqing, they all want to regain the world of Daqing. It can be said that this is the lifelong wish of the two of them.
However, even so, as an emperor, there is no reason to drive in person, and he is still at the forefront of this big risk...... Even if Emperor Zhao Wuchang of Beiqing was born in a military camp, he would not do this.
Judging from the current situation of all forces in the world, whether it is Nanqing or the Qinglian Sect that broke Nanqing, in this competition for the world, the forces are the weakest, but they occupy a favorable location. In this way, give up a piece of land that is not good, destroy the weak forces, and gain geographical advantages...... Beiqing became the most powerful of all forces in one fell swoop.
However, if you want to die, all this is true, and the premise of achieving all of this is - he can take Beiqing, and even the whole of Jiangnan.
Before, Shi Yuan still felt that Emperor Beiqing just wanted to take Yangzhou and Jinling, the two important cities, leave troops to guard them, and then withdraw to Jiangbei, pacify the Xiongnu, and stabilize the Shuzhong army, and then continue to clean up Jiangnan...... But now, it seems that there is another possibility.
Whether the former or the present, it is just his speculation. What Emperor Beiqing would do exactly, but only he knew best in his heart......
"That's it! Cotton Girl, we are speculating here, but it is of no use. What kind of scene is this Jiangbei can only be known after watching it. Instead of worrying about it, let's think about how we should get out of here! ”
By Shu Zhongjun, speaking of so many things, Shi Yuan also felt a little upset for a while. This smiled strongly at Qin Hongmian and turned the conversation to the present.
Qin Hongmian heard it, and only then did he sober up from the shock: Shi Yuan's thoughts are always so surprising. When talking to him, I will always unconsciously fall into this shock......
"The trees are almost all cut down, and with the tools we have so far, we can only make rafts. It can do about ten, and each raft can sit ten people, seven hundred people, and it takes about seven trips to transport it across the Jiangbei. And in the meantime, we have to make sure that no one ...... on the other side of the river."
Qin Hongmian slowly told him about the current situation, Shi Yuan heard it, nodded silently, and at the end, he didn't say anything else, but asked Qin Hongmian directly: "When can I leave?" ”
Before, for convenience, I didn't bring many supplies with me when I left Xiancao Village. Originally, the dry food was only enough for three days, but he did not limit the distribution of materials...... In this way, after last night's revelry, there is now only enough food and grass for today's day. If you barely save the distribution, you can last two days...... In other words, within these two days, they must cross to Jiangbei, and they must also find supplies! Otherwise, not to mention anything else, they would have starved to death here first!
"Tomorrow evening! After the raft is repaired, I will let my brother cross the river first. If all goes well, we will be able to cross the river tomorrow evening. ”
On the empty river, more than a dozen rafts suddenly appeared, if Beiqing was not fortified, it would be enough, if it was fortified, this would undoubtedly be a self-defeating road. Therefore, Qin Hongmian chose to cross the river in the evening! It is the early summer, the sky is going to be dark later, in the evening, it is the sunset, the river is dazzling, while the sky is about to enter the night, it is a good time to cross the river!
"Good! Then there is the girl of the cotton tree. We didn't have much dry food left, and we wanted to give our brothers a good meal, but we were also powerless...... If we can't cross the river tomorrow, I'm afraid that our morale will be affected. Hearing Qin Hongmian say this, Shi Yuan was relieved...... Although the time was a little tight, I was able to catch up.
"About that...... I might be able to help. It's still early, and I can go to this canyon to hunt some game, which always boosts morale. Qin Hongmian heard it, so he whispered.
When she met Shi Yuan for the first time before, she was wearing an animal skin and hunting in the forest. Later, after Shi Yuan came, she brought a lot of grain and grass materials, plus that was originally what she would do when she had nothing to do, so she never went hunting again. Now when she heard Shi Yuan say this, she remembered her "old job".
"Oh? Cotton Girl you don't say I almost forgot, haha......" Shi Yuan also remembered the scene when the two met for the first time, scratched his head and smiled, "Speaking of which, when I saw you for the first time at that time, I thought you were Laura!" ”
"Who is Laura?"
"Uh...... She's a very tough woman. Shi Yuan explained indiscriminately, but Qin Hongmian didn't ask any more...... After all, Shi Yuan had said too many strange things.
"But speaking of which, is there really prey in this canyon?" Although Qin Hongmian's attention is good, it is difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, looking at this quiet canyon, Shi Yuan suspects that there is no prey in this place at all. Although the woods look lush and vibrant at this time, according to Hua Shang, this was a river before......
"Yes!" Qin Hongmian didn't know where he had seen the traces, and replied very firmly, "I just don't know if General Shi is willing to accompany me to the forest for a walk?" ”
Hearing Qin Hongmian say this, he blinked at himself expectantly after finishing speaking...... Shi Yuan couldn't help but suspect that she said this on purpose.
But no matter what, he couldn't refuse Qin Hongmian. And speaking of which, this canyon is so big, I haven't turned around it properly...... Take advantage of this opportunity to take a walk, whether you can hit the prey is secondary, and it is also good to be able to take a good break and sort out the mess.
Of course, Qin Xiaoling and Liuli, the two followers, are always indispensable in the same company......
"I said Ruri, didn't you say that I gave you that little guy 'Gollum', and you didn't follow me?" Walking along the canyon towards the river, looking at the glass next to him who was talking to "Gollum", Shi Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't follow you, I followed Sister Cotton Tree." Liuli didn't raise his head to finish speaking, and continued to tease the "Gollum" in his arms......
Seeing this, Shi Yuan didn't say much, but looked up at both sides of the canyon. I was passing by here yesterday, but I didn't pay much attention to it because I wanted to see the situation along the river. At this time, there was nothing to do, and then I looked at both sides of this canyon, and then I found that in fact, from the topography of this canyon, it can be seen that this was originally a river.
