Chapter 387: Xiliang Xing (19)
Han Wu checked it in the past three days, and he said: "You don't know, this Liu County Order is actually Chen Guozhong's brother-in-law, who has always been a corrupt official, and the people in the county know it, so you can find it clear as soon as you ask." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He is not afraid of Chen Guozhong, whether he resigns or not, he doesn't care. ”
"Hehe, I see that you have found the right person this time, in this Wuyang County, I am afraid that he is the only one who dares to help you collect the boat like this."
"I see."
Luo Yi pondered for a while and asked, "General Han, when will our soldiers arrive?" ”
"Just these two days, not today, tomorrow will come."
Luo Yi said: "Okay, after we arrive, we will camp ten miles away, and tomorrow afternoon, we will go to collect the boat." ”
Han Wu was stunned, and suddenly had an idea, pulled Luo Yi and said, "General Luo, how about we do business?" ”
"Oh? Do you do business with me? What kind of business? ”
Han Wu smiled and said, "You give me the remaining fifteen thousand taels, oh no, just give me ten thousand taels, I promise, let you take the boat away safely." ”
"Well, it's a good business, isn't it?"
Luo Yi looked at Han Wu with a smile, he really didn't expect that Han Wu also loves money, it is really rich to make ghosts grind, and the brave generals who fight on the battlefield are no exception.
Luo Yi is not a fool, as soon as Han Wu's words came out, he knew the other party's thoughts, and he just wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit.
Luo Yi didn't demolish him, Han Wu loves money, it's a good thing, maybe after pacifying Longxi, maybe he can really take it for his own use.
Luo Yi nodded and said, "Okay, give you 10,000 taels, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”
"I'm also free, I'll go back to sleep..."
Han Wu was overjoyed, and he felt like he had become rich overnight, so he hurriedly thanked Luo Yi and went to handle the matter of receiving the ship with great interest.
On the second day after Luo Yi and Han Wu left Xingzhuo, Chen Guozhong knew about the two of them going to the riverside, and he hurriedly sent someone to the Yangtze River to inform Liu County that he was not allowed to help. It's a pity that the people he sent walked very slowly, sitting in a carriage, and only walked more than 100 miles a day, which was already the limit, and the carriage almost flew up. This is too different from Luo Yi and Han Wu rushing before, the speed is too different, Luo Yi and Han Wu galloped more than 800 miles in one day and one night, and rushed to the riverside in one night.
On this day, it was drizzling and the air smelled clear, and Raangren felt refreshed.
Liu County ordered to collect all the boats, put them all by the river, and sent someone to inform Luo Yi to go and pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.
Luo Yi took Han Wu to the riverside, and when he saw hundreds of boats docked neatly on the river, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he took these boats away, he could cross Surabaya Lake.
"General Han, what do you think should happen next?"
By the river, Luo Yi, Han Wu, and Liu Xianling stood together, and Luo Yi said to Han Wu.
Liu Xianling already knew the identities of Luo Yi and the others, and his expression was extremely respectful, of course, he did not forget to remind Luo Yi that if he wanted to take the ship, he had to pay, and he brought more than 500 people today, apparently to prevent Lu Yang from acting rough with Han Wuqiang.
Han Wu laughed and said, "What should I do?" Of course, I went to the ship to try it out to see if the ship was intact, otherwise how to inspect the goods? ”
"Someone, give the order, all the sergeants, get on board immediately!"
The three thousand iron horsemen transferred by Han Wu had already arrived, and they all stopped by the river, and when he gave the order, the soldiers led the horses and began to board the boat.
Liu Xianling panicked and hurriedly said: "This... General Han, General Luo, you... I haven't paid yet. ”
"What money?"
Han Wu looked dazed.
Luo Yi covered his face, blended into the group of soldiers, and followed him on the boat.
Liu Xianling was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted Luo Yi, but Luo Yi pretended not to hear it and did not respond.
"Liu County Order, you haven't replied to me yet, what money?"
"You... You guys.... ”
Han Wu said with a smile: "Lord County Commander, thank you for your help, I will give you the Ming Dynasty and give you an official position." You've helped us a lot. ”
"Luo Yi, Luo Yi, you come down !!"
Liu Xian Lingcai was too lazy to listen to Han Wu's nonsense, he shouted vigorously towards the boat.
Luo Yi still didn't agree, he had already boarded the boat, blending in the crowd of soldiers.
Han Wu pulled Liu Xianling and thanked him vigorously, however, Liu Xianling didn't appreciate it at all, and after hesitating for a while, Liu Xianling shouted: "Come on, come on, stop them, don't let them get on the boat!" ”
Because Liu Xianling knew that if Han Wu and the others were allowed to get on the boat, the ship would drive away directly, and when he reached the upstream, he really couldn't catch up at all, and the remaining fifteen thousand taels of silver, so he didn't want to come back.
As soon as Liu County's order was issued, the five hundred county soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed up in a swarm, preparing to remove the wooden tower that was set up next to the boat, as long as the wooden tower was removed, the soldiers would not be able to upload it.
But it's a pity that with their ability, where can they stop the elite cavalry who have been in a hundred battles.
Suddenly, two hundred people rushed out and killed the five hundred: "Kill!! ”
Of course, they didn't really kill them, they just scared and scared, and after rushing up, the war knives in their hands just slashed over their hands, making these county soldiers lose their combat effectiveness.
Where have these people seen such a bloody scene, and when they saw that one by one, the copper plates and arms were injured, and the blood flowed, they were all frightened and ran away.
"You shit! What's the use of me raising you.... ”
Liu Xianling was scolded angrily and jumped like thunder.
Han Wu laughed and said, "Lord County Commander, I'm leaving!" ”
After speaking, he also got on the boat, leaving only Liu County's order and the five hundred county soldiers lying on the ground wailing.
After everyone got on the boat, Han Wu gave an order, and a hundred small boats and thirty big boats set sail and floated towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
At the same time, the messenger sent by Chen Guozhong arrived, rushed to the riverside, saw Liu Xianling and others lying on the ground, and asked urgently: "Liu Xianling, where are the people?" What about Luo Yi and Han Wu? ”
"Go, go, just go..."
Liu Xianling was panting breathlessly and said intermittently. He also stretched out his finger and pointed upstream.
The man looked in the direction pointed by Liu County's order, and sure enough, he saw the figures of more than a dozen boats, and immediately sat on the ground, and said to himself: "It's over, how can I explain to Lord Chen when I go back." ”
Luo Yi and Han Wu didn't hear the conversation between Liu County Commander and the envoy, and they didn't have the heart to care, they have now set sail and left the territory of the county government under the jurisdiction of Liu County Order.
According to the map marked, from this Yangtze River up 600 miles, it is the end, all the time to a huge barren mountain connecting Longxi, and under the barren mountain, is a small county of Wuyang County, as long as it crosses more than 20 miles, it will reach Surabaya Lake.
In other words, in fact, the Yangtze River and Surabaya Lake are only separated by more than 20 miles.
Luo Yi is a little worried now, how to cross these more than 20 miles? This is a boat, not a car, how can it walk on land? And you can't settle down.
"When we get to the place, let's find a way, it's only twenty miles in total, we have war horses and soldiers, and we're afraid that we won't be able to transport it? I have sent an order, and all the cavalry are assembled on the south bank, and when the time comes, they will be embarked in the small county nearest to here. ”
Luo Yi smiled: "You always want to be in front." ”
Han Wudao: "As a general, you must think about everything in advance, otherwise people will have near-term worries if they have no foresight." ”
"That's a good point."
Luo Yi nodded.
Two days later, Luo Yi and Han Wu finally arrived at their destination, disembarking in the small county between Surabaya Lake and the Yangtze River, Luo Yi personally went to explore the road ahead, it was basically smooth, there were no steep slopes and detours, such a place could completely allow the soldiers to pull the boat with ropes, anyway, there were so many war horses, put the ropes on the boat, and work hard together, and the speed of progress must be slow. Luo Yi told Han Wu about this idea, and Han Wu also felt that it was feasible, anyway, there are so many war horses, there is no need to use them in vain, three thousand war horses, pull a hundred boats, it's a little meaning.
So, after landing on the shore, the soldiers went to separate preparations to build roads, and those who looked for ropes looked for ropes, and they were busy until noon.
In the afternoon, everything was ready and the team set off.
The speed is really not very slow, usually more than twenty horses pull a boat, the speed is faster than the ordinary carriage, and the horses are not difficult, the soldiers are better than standing on the boat, and some control the horses to move forward.
............
Lake Surabaya.
At this time, it was two days later, on the south shore of Surabaya Lake, there was a barren mountain, this barren mountain made the southwest of Surabaya Lake have no shore, and if you want to go from that small county to Longxi, you have to travel more than 40 miles along the Surabaya Lake under the barren mountain.
