On the surface of the river, Liu Yunling was floating on the water with a log, and her hands were mechanically paddling on the water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Yunling didn't know how long she had been swimming on the river, she felt that her arms and legs had become more and more disobedient, and her whole body floated up and down from time to time under the impact of the river, and her stomach was already filled with river water.

At that time, because she didn't want to face the humiliating moment when she was thrown into the river by everyone on the ferry, Liu Yunling jumped directly into the river, and was quickly swept into the river under the turbulent undercurrent under the river, and has been sneaking in the river for nearly 100 meters before finally surfacing.

However, it was precisely because of this that she escaped the sight of Wu Jiang and the others and avoided their pursuit.

On the wide river, there is no end at a glance, and Liu Yunling, who is not familiar with the nature of the water, can't tell where she is swimming, and can only go down the river under the impact of the river.

Liu Yunling, who had been immersed in the river for a long time, felt that she seemed to be a little delirious, and her body was constantly sinking and floating in the water under the impact of the waves on the river surface, and she could drown in the river at any time.

I'm going to die, I'm so unwilling, I haven't done anything in this world! Liu Yunling, who felt that she was becoming less and less conscious, thought wildly.

Hey, what's that!

Just when Liu Yunling felt that her eyes were about to close, she vaguely seemed to see a large black shadow coming from the river in the distance.

"Whoa~"

On the wide river, accompanied by the sound of breaking waves, huge warships slowly appeared on the river north of Wanglong Town, which was a large naval fleet with nearly 200 warships.

At the front of the fleet is a large fortune ship about 60 meters long and 18 meters wide, with three towers, a wide bottom and a high bow and tail.

On the top floor of the Daifuku ship, Sima Yu, who was dressed in armor, was standing in the attic and looking fixedly at Wanglong County, Luzhou, on the shore, and it could be seen from a distance that there were several fires rising in Wanglong County, which was close to the shore.

In the attic, Yu Dayou, who was dressed in sailor armor, was on the right side of Sima Yu, Huang Jingtian, who was wearing scale armor and Mingguang armor, was on the left side of Sima Yu, and Wu Song and Wutu Gu behind Sima Yu were dressed in red flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives, and dozens of brocade guards in armor surrounded them behind the two.

Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, Gu Changfeng immediately ordered a batch of flying fish suits in the Seiji workshop, the style of these flying fish suits was drawn according to his memory description, and at present, only Jinyiwei can wear flying fish suits above the level of 100 households in Jinyiwei.

Depending on the level, the patterns and colors on the Flying Fish suit are also different.

At present, there is a total of one Jinyi Guard commander and three Jinyi Guards in thousands of households, while there are only 2,000 internal guards.

Therefore, after Wu Song joined, Sima Yu freed the vulture bones from military affairs, and although he was listed as a Jinyi guard for thousands of households, he served as Sima Yu's full-time personal guard, and the 1000 originally under his command were also placed under the jurisdiction of Wu Song.

This time, what came out with Sima Yu were Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wu Song and Wutu Gu, as well as 200 carefully selected Jinyi Wei Ruishi, while Gu Changfeng and A Huilan stayed in Qilin County, responsible for training Jinyi Wei and inquiring about the news.

The tall Wu Song was dressed in a red flying fish suit, and his right hand was pressed on the handle of the embroidered spring knife at his waist, which looked more and more heroic, and the burly vulture bone next to him was a little conspicuous.

After discussing the countermeasures that day, everyone immediately acted according to Sima Yu's arrangement.

Guo Yuan and Xiang Lang remained in Qilin County and were responsible for all government affairs in the territory, mainly three major events: farmland reclamation, road construction, and resettlement of displaced people.

The three brothers Wang Yantong, Long Wei, and Long Meng were responsible for recruiting troops to form the three battalions of Changfeng Battalion, Guoyi Army, and Tiger Ben Battalion.

The Shaoshan battalion under Wang Yanzhang sat in Qilin City, and the garrison battalion under Shi Dan guarded various places.

The sailor battalion under the command of Yu Dayou was ready on the second day, and immediately carried 200 Jinyi guards, 4,000 sailors and 5,000 guards under the leadership of Sima Yu to Luzhou, while the remaining 4,000 sailors remained in Qilin County to respond to and deal with emergencies.

At this time, it had been two days since Sima Yu received the news of the defeat of the Great Western Army, and after one and a half days of sailing, the naval fleet finally sailed into the Yangtze River valley in Luzhou.

"Lord, we have reached the territory of Luzhou, the west bank is the territory of Wanglong County, and the front is Zhongba Island."

Yu Dayou, on the right, pointed to Zhongba Island, which had shown three huge outlines on the shore and in front of him, and reported to Sima Yu.

As a veteran general in the army, Yu Dayou naturally understands the truth that knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can be invincible, so before he set out for the expedition, he had already obtained a brief topographic map of Luzhou from Jinyiwei, and he had a general understanding of the area in Luzhou.

"What is the situation in Luzhou today?"

Hearing this, Sima Yu asked Yu Dayou.

Now the Jinyi Wei of Qilin County has just been established, and it has not yet become a climate, and the two who are following Sima Yu this time are Wu Song and Wu Tugu, who are not good at intelligence gathering.

Therefore, this work finally fell on the sailor, and Yu Dayou had already sent people to inquire about the news in front of the fleet.

"Back to the lord, now the whole territory of Luzhou is in a mess, the Qing army has burned and looted all the way through, forced to pull strong Ding, a large number of villages have been dilapidated, and the slave army under the command of the Qing army has expanded to 150,000 people. Now there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people in Wanglong County, and there are two Niu Luzheng Blue Banner cavalry and 10,000 slave troops entrenched here," Yu Dayou said.

With the entry of the Qing army, Luzhou, which originally had a population of nearly 1.2 million, has plummeted by nearly 100,000 in just over 10 days, and a large number of people have either been brutally killed or fled to the mountains and forests for refuge, and a large area of land in Luzhou has become deserted. Wanglong County, located on the shore, has a population of only 70,000 or 80,000.

"I didn't expect the Qing army to be so brutal, it seems that we must try our best to delay the Qing army this time and prevent them from continuing south."

Sima Yu was silent when he heard this, and a trace of determination flashed across his face.

He really didn't expect that the Qing army would be so brutal, and Luzhou had been persecuted so far in a short period of time.

It seems that this Qing army has developed into a thief army under the control of Prince Su Haoge, if the Qing army enters Yongzhou again, Yongzhou will not follow in the footsteps of Luzhou, even if this Qing army is returned in the future, I am afraid that it will be a dilapidated and deserted Yongzhou, which Sima Yu does not want to see.

"Zhifu (Yu Dayouzi Zhifu), Jingtian, for today's plan, where do you think we should start, and wait directly for the decisive battle between Lu Wanglong County and the Qing army?"

Then Sima Yu asked Yu Dayou and Huang Jingtian for advice.

"Lord, look at the three islands in front, they are Zhongba Island and its two affiliated islands, the two affiliated islands are now uninhabited, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, Zhongba Island covers an area of hundreds of square kilometers, but there have been some remnants of the Great Western Army and displaced people fled to the island, at present, the entire Zhongba Island is occupied by the remnants of the Great Western Army who fled to the island, the whole island has nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses and more than 40,000 people, the population is mainly distributed in Zhongba Village, Dama Village, Yongding Village, Zhangwan Village four villages, Zhongba Village is located in the middle of Zhongba Island, and the three villages of Daba Village, Yongding Village and Zhangwan Village occupy the three natural harbors on the island. At present, our army is still unclear about the situation in Luzhou, and in the opinion of our subordinates, it is better for us to first land on one of the affiliated islands of Zhongba Island and set up camp, and while resting and recuperating, we can investigate the situation on Zhongba Island, which has a vast area and a suitable environment, and as long as it is slightly developed, it can support hundreds of thousands of people, and it can be developed into a support base for our army to deal with the Qing army."

After Yu Dayou and Huang Jingtian glanced at each other when they heard this, Yu Dayou spoke out and offered advice.

Although Yu Dayou and Huang Jingtian are both lieutenants of the unified army under Sima Yu, their current importance to Qilin County and their abilities are different.

Before coming to this world, Yu Dayou was already the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, leading the troops to fight against the Japanese for a long time, with rich combat experience, and naval warfare was his specialty.

Although Huang Jingtian is good at training soldiers and has strong martial arts, he is still slightly inferior to Yu Dayou in leading the army for the time being.

Therefore, Huang Jingtian, who has a clear understanding of this, has always been polite to Yu Dayou.

"What Zhifu said is reasonable, the geographical location and environment of Zhongba Island are so superior, we may be able to develop it into a naval base, Zhifu, respect the sky, and order the whole army to prepare for landing."

Hearing this, Sima Yu couldn't help but nod and pointed to the affiliated island located in the westernmost part of Zhongba Island.

With the continuous expansion of the strength of Qilin County, the ambition in Sima Yu's heart is also constantly expanding, and now his vision is not only limited to Yongzhou, but also Luzhou will be his place in the future.

"Yes, my lord!"

Yu Dayou and Huang Jingtian could naturally hear the ambition in Sima Yu's heart, and their expressions were excited.

As a general, who is not eager to make contributions on the battlefield and seal his wife and son, the ambition in Sima Yu's heart undoubtedly provides the most suitable soil for the development of the generals under his command.

"Someone is drowning on the river!"

Just as the army was about to march at full speed and land on Zhongba Island, a soldier located on the side of the ship below the attic of the lower ship suddenly pointed to the river not far away.

"Save now!"

Hearing this, Sima Yu and the others above looked at the river in the direction pointed by the soldiers, and found that there was indeed a figure floating on the river that was only more than ten meters away from the ship, and Sima Yu immediately ordered.

Soon, a soldier familiar with the nature of the water took off his armor and jumped into the water to save people.
