Chapter 923: Jiang Xin chases
In the south of Anseong, in the vast area, it is rumored that Emperor Yan took 30,000 iron horsemen and disappeared in the south of Anseong, with unknown traces and unknown intentions.
The people in the south of Anseong were panicked and uneasy, and the news flew over the plains, crossed the river, and quickly spread to the depths of the south like a bird with wings.
Cai, Yue, Wu, Chu, Shu, urgent news, from near to far, quickly spread all over the south of the Yangtze River.
The southern countries quickly searched for the traces of Emperor Yan and 30,000 iron horsemen in the area south of Anseong, for fear that the other party would suddenly fall from the sky and storm a city south of Anseong.
In Mocheng, Cao Rong was even more restless, and when he learned the news, he ordered all the state and county officials of Cai State to pay close attention to the situation in the territory, and once they noticed the appearance of groups of strangers, they quickly reported it to the imperial court.
Emperor Yan is too cunning, Yan cavalry is too fierce, this time, the other party has 30,000 cavalry in his hands, and the ghost knows what the other party is going to do in the south?
Feng Shihu led 30,000 iron cavalry, left Ancheng during the day, and led the army in the middle of the night to return to Ancheng quietly!
Unknowingly, an action pretending to be Emperor Yan attacking the south was stopped. However, in the vast area south of Anseong, the news of Emperor Yan's southward movement continued to spread.
At this moment, north of Anseong, the Yangtze River wharf.
Lin Feng took two hundred guards, disguised as merchants, and under the secret escort of Feng Yi, set foot on the merchant ship of the owner of the Song Kingdom.
Because of the recent rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River is no longer as calm as before. On the contrary, the flood gathers and gathers the Yangtze River, and the river is turbulent!
However, Feng Shihu ensured Lin Feng's safety at the beginning and deliberately looked for the larger merchant ships in the Yangtze River.
At this time, the merchant ship that Lin Feng and others were riding was twenty zhang long and three or four zhang wide, and in order to carry more goods, it was specially built as a building ship, with a total of two floors!
It can accommodate thousands of catties of goods, 100 soldiers, and nearly 100 pulppers, and the momentum is violent, like a dragon on the river.
Because Feng Shihu ordered the merchants of the Yan Kingdom to charter the merchant ships, in addition to the pulpers and the shipowners, the entire merchant ships were all guards who protected Lin Feng.
Lin Feng and Wang Lunyue's seven daughters lived on the upper floor of the merchant ship, with two hundred personal guards, distributed up and down the merchant ship, guarding all parts of the merchant ship.
In the gentle breeze, Lin Feng and Wang Lunyue's seven daughters stood on the second floor of the merchant ship.
Compared with the small boat of the Yan Kingdom that she took before, at this moment, staying in the tall merchant ships of the Song Kingdom, the merchant ships are swimming in the Yangtze River, and the seven girls can personally feel the swaying of the ship, undulating in the river water!
At this time, the seven daughters were in high spirits, including Wang Lunyue, who has always been rational, bathed in the gentle river breeze, which made people feel refreshed.
The merchant ship moved forward in the heart of the river, and Lin Feng stood on the deck, not disturbing the seventh girl Yaxing.
On the contrary, if you look carefully from a distance, there are few ships on the surface of the Yangtze River, and there is no scene of hundreds of boats competing for the current when it goes south.
However, on the mighty river, there are still huge dragon boats swaying.
Let the calm atmosphere be mixed with a hint of murder!
"Xianggong, the Yan army is blockading the Yangtze River, and for a period of time in the future, the two generals and 130,000 cavalry will definitely have a hard time in the south of the Yangtze River!" On the deck, Wang Lunyue paid attention to Lin Feng's movements, looked at the Cai Jun sailor dragon ship in the distance, and couldn't help but worry about the Yan army stationed in the south of the Yangtze River.
Cai Jun's sailors, wandering in the Yangtze River, blockading Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Dayan ordnance, materials, grain and grass, and reinforcements could not be transported to Jiangnan by fishing boats!
Feng Shihu, Feng Yi and 130,000 Yan cavalry couldn't help but need to defend the four cities along the river, and they also had to prepare grain, grass, and ordnance for themselves, and lost contact with Dayan, and they were in a very difficult situation.
Lin Feng nodded, and said earnestly: "Return to Dayan first, there is always a way in the south!" ”
When speaking, Lin Feng's eyes were always focused on the two Cai Jun dragon boats on the river.
At this time, there were two Cai Jun sailor dragon boats in the distance rapidly approaching, Lin Feng patted Wang Lunyue's palm and comforted: "Return to the cabin first, Jiangnan has its own solution!" ”
Wang Lunyue didn't say anything, followed behind Lin Feng, quickly left the deck, and walked into the cabin.
I learned the news in advance that Cai Jun blocked the Yangtze River, and at present, the appearance of Cai Jun Longchuang in the river was expected, but according to the usual practice, Cai Jun did not dare to provoke the merchant ships of the Song State.
Sail carefully on the 10,000-year-old ship, without setting foot on the land of Dayan, Lin Feng did not dare to underestimate the enemy's carelessness.
Walking into the cabin, Lin Feng drank a cup of tea and instructed Luo Da to send someone to closely monitor Cai Jun's sailors' movements, beware of accidents that threaten his own safety!
On the Yangtze River, the owner of the merchant ship witnessed the approach of two Cai Guoshui divisions and ordered the pulpers to speed up.
Cai Jun's situation in the south, the shipowner knew it very well, and he despised Cai Guo a little in his heart, and he didn't take Cai Jun's sailors swimming in the Yangtze River in his eyes at all.
On the opposite side of Cai Junlong's boat, Cai Jun was not surprised to see the Song merchant ships speeding up, but he was more greedy for the Song merchant ships.
According to their understanding, the merchant ships of the Song Kingdom, which swayed in the Yangtze River all the year round, often carried many important goods and were of great value.
The centurion in the dragon ship found that a Song merchant ship appeared, and he hurriedly ran into the cabin.
In the cabin of the dragon boat, they all sit in the cabin, drinking and eating, and at this time, drunk, reclining on the soft couch.
The centurion glanced at Dutong and said loudly: "General, there are Song merchant ships on the river, meet us, Song merchant ships are moving forward quickly, do you pursue, do you board the ship for inspection?" ”
"On the Yangtze River, are there any Song merchant ships?" The general put down the wine glass in his hand, half drunk and half confused, noticed the greedy look in the centurion's eyes, and asked sharply.
If there are no Song merchant ships on all sides, today, he wants to see how powerful the Cai army is to block the Yangtze River, and in the waters of Cai State, how powerful the merchant ships of the Song Kingdom are.
"There is only one Song merchant ship!" The centurion said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Du Tong's eyes lit up, nodded emphatically, quickly got up from the soft couch, and said, "Inform the friendly army, two dragon ships come up and block the merchant ships of the Song Kingdom, and see what is on it?" ”
"Yes!" The centurion cut through the railroad and walked out of the cabin with a smile on his face.
The centurion walked out and shouted to Cai Jun on the deck: "All commanders order, quickly catch up with the merchant ships of the Song Kingdom and block the other party!" ”
Suddenly, in the cabin, there were armored guards who quickly got into the cabin, conveyed the order of the capital, and caught up with the Song merchant ship.
For a while, the speed of the two dragon boats gradually accelerated, chasing the center of the river from the waters of Caiguo.
"Ship owner, the two Cai Junlong boats behind have caught up!" The paddler noticed that Jiang Xin's Cai Jun's dragon boat was chasing after him, and hurriedly reported to the shipowner.
"This group of bastards, who were bullied by the Yan army in the south, want to bully the merchant ships of the Song State on the Yangtze River, a group of gutless rats, get rid of them." The ship's owner commanded.
At this time, Luo Da quickly returned to the cabin on the second floor, looked nervous, and said to Lin Feng: "Your Majesty, Cai Jun's dragon boat is chasing up!" ”
The water flow in the center of the river is turbulent, and the battle in the river is not good at the Yan army, not to mention, there are many dragon boats of the Cai army on the river, if there is an accident, it may attract more dragon boats, and if there is a fierce battle in the center of the river, the situation will become very bad.
Lin Feng's face was calm, and he ordered: "Aman, lead a hundred guards, protect several mothers, and the rest of the people, ambush the four sides of the cabin, Luo Da, you and I go out to have a look." ”
Although it is not clear why Jiang Xin Cai Jun suddenly inspected this Song merchant ship, which deviated from the previous news, it was certainly not his identity exposed.
At present, no matter what Cai Jun's purpose is, he must not reveal his identity in Jiangxin.
Crossing the river and going north, he didn't want any accidents to happen, so that the road to the north would not be faster!
"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Cao Aman said.
Lin Feng hid a dagger in his sleeve and walked out of the cabin with Luo Da.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the deck, he saw two Cai Junlong ships, quickly outflanking him left and right.
Yu Guang glanced at the dragon boat, Lin Feng pretended not to know, walked to the shipowner's side, and asked, "Cai Jun is chasing after you, what is the shipowner going to do?" ”
"A group of birdmen, I'm afraid that he will do something, catch up first!" The owner glanced at Cai Guolong's boat, which was about to catch up with the river, and said disdainfully.
When Feng Shihu was looking for the merchant ships of the Song Kingdom, he did not directly attack himself, but turned over two or three merchants in a row, and the third merchant only got in touch with the shipowner.
He claimed that a friend had an urgent matter to return to Yan and hoped to return by merchant ship.
Therefore, the owner of the ship knew that Lin Feng was probably very rich, at least on the side of Yan Guofujia, but he did not know Lin Feng's true identity.
"Aren't you afraid that Cai Jun will catch up?" Lin Feng asked. The guy in front of him is just a simple shipowner, transporting goods on the Yangtze River, but he is not small.
"What are you afraid of, the Cai army that the Yan army fought in the south is not simple, if my memory is correct, there will be a Song State water division downstream, once the Cai army catches up, a signal is sent from the boat, and the Song State water division will soon catch up. Of course, the premise is that Cai Guoshui can catch up. The owner of the ship said confidently, not taking Yan Jun in his eyes at all.
Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded, stood on the deck, and looked at the Cai Jun sailors who were chasing in the distance on the wind and waves, and the merchant ship where they were located also unconsciously accelerated.
"Listen to the Song merchant ship in front, stop quickly, otherwise, we will shoot everyone on board with arrows." On Cai Junlong's ship, the centurion looked at the merchant ship of the Song Kingdom, did not take himself seriously at all, and ordered his corporal to shout loudly, ready to intimidate the owner of the ship and the crew of the merchant ship.
However, the warship was speeding forward, but Cai Jun did not shoot at all.
The generals of the Cai Army Navy Division also knew that although this water area belonged to the Cai State, and the Song State Sailor Division was not strong, it was far better than the Cai State Sailor, not to mention, the Song State was getting stronger and stronger, and it was a matter of time before the invasion of the south was incurred.
Perhaps, the other party only lacks an excuse to send troops at present, and it is easy to shoot the merchants of the Song Kingdom, which may attract the other party's retaliation.
Therefore, in Jiang's heart, the distance between the two sides was already relatively close, and the situation was tense, but Cai Jun did not dare to shoot arrows, for fear of bloody conflicts.
When the merchant ships of the Song Kingdom encountered Cai Jun, they turned a deaf ear to Cai Junhanghang, and instead of stopping for routine inspections, on the contrary, they moved forward quickly, without taking Cai Jun's dragon ship in their eyes at all!
