Chapter 124: Swimming Lessons

From Yuzhou to the south, through Xiangyang. This place is the most prosperous city in Jingzhou, and most of the families of Jingzhou have settled here. At this time, the world was not in turmoil, and the scholars in the northern Central Plains had not yet gone south. For example, Zhuge Liang should still be in his hometown Langya at this time, and he can't be found in Jingzhou. What's more, Zhuge Liang is just an eight-year-old child now, even if he finds it, it is useless, and there is no need to spend those efforts.

However, Sun Jian, who had already served as the Taishou of Changsha at this time, and his Sun Ce was sixteen this year, and he already had a lot of fame, and had a close relationship with Zhou Yu of Shu County, Lujiang County, and was known as "the good of the general horn".

Guo Yi hesitated in his heart, whether to go to Changsha to meet Sun Jian, and by the way, take a look at the appearance of the "little overlord" Sun Ce, and there will be a love for each other on the battlefield in the future.

Fan Xin came to report, "My lord, Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, asks to see you." ”

Xiangyang is the capital of Jingzhou, Guo Yi passed through here to rest, Wang Rui as the host naturally wanted to express something.

The host and guest met and exchanged pleasantries. Wang Rui inquired about the current situation in Luoyang. Guo Yi would tell him the truth, only that everything was peaceful. The emperor's dragon body is healthy, the authority of the general is undiminished, and the two princes are also diligent and hardworking, and there is no contradiction.

Wang Rui's face relaxed when he heard this, Jingzhou is not a peaceful place, and the nobles and heroes have their own side. When Yu Wei of the Han family was still there, they did not dare to act rashly. Once there is a change in the Han family, Wang Rui will have no bottom in his heart.

When Wang Rui said goodbye, Guo Yi sent him to the door and said with a smile: "I look at the land of Jingzhou, but Sun Wentai is a hero. Lord Thorn Shi should be more careful. ”

Wang Rui frowned, he had a grudge against Sun Jian, since Guo Yi said so, he had to keep an eye on it. "Thank you for the reminder, thank you."

Guo Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay." We are all working for the Han Dynasty, if there is any rebellious ministers and thieves who do not obey discipline, we must naturally prepare as soon as possible and get rid of them as soon as possible. ”

"Xia Guan understands." Wang Rui bowed his hand and walked backwards to the street before turning around and getting into the carriage and leaving.

Fan Xin said strangely: "Lord, Sun Jian is just a Taishou, can he succeed?" ”

Guo Yi asked rhetorically: "I'm just a hunter, and you're just a businessman." Can we make it happen? ”

Fan Xin was even more puzzled, "Why did the lord tell Wang Rui?" If he finances Sun Jian, won't he become our opponent? ”

Guo Yi smiled and said: "No, as a thorn history, he will never nod his head to a Taishou." If he can get rid of Sun Jian for me, I will save trouble. Although their Sun family's martial arts are not good. ”

The father and son of the Sun family are more than brave, but the strategy is insufficient, a small Jiangxia, the father and son have not been beaten down for two generations. Sun Quan didn't mention it, he couldn't take Hefei all his life, and he made a joke that 100,000 were defeated by 800.

Rested for the day in Xiangyang to raise boats. The dragoon battalions are all northerners, and they have never seen wind and waves in their lives. Now Guo Yi wants to take the waterway from Xiangyang, go south along the Han River, and then go east along the Yangtze River. Although there is no need to worry about illness, it is doubtful whether the dragoon camp can adapt to sailing. Historically, when northerners went south, they did not suffer here.

Long Yi was seasick and vomited on the first day, and he couldn't even hold a spear steadily. Guo Yi rode the Yueying horse and stood at the head of the horse to supervise the army, and he had no experience in commanding the navy, so it was useless to shout and drink.

"Oh my God!" Guo Yi looked at the soldiers on the deck, wanting to cry without tears. The dragoon battalion ate the dragon bone pill, rampant in the northern land, and the invincible strong army, which was overturned on the deck on the first day of coming to Jiangnan, how could this quell the Baiyue rebellion?

"My lord, this ship is not allowed." Pound couldn't hold it anymore, he hadn't eaten the Dragon Bone Pill yet. Now barely standing on the support of the double halberd. But this newly built double halberd is particularly heavy according to his requirements! One has sixty pounds, and pure steel is poured and forged. Normally he could swing and fight, but now he was exhausted just holding it.

"My lord, let's take the dry road. At the speed of the dragoon camp, it will only take three or five days to reach Liyang. Fan Xin also came to advise that the war horses in the dragoon camp are all high-quality war horses offered by the Qiang people, not to mention traveling thousands of miles a day, it is completely fine to travel six or seven hundred miles a day. Guo Yi chose to take the waterway, which is simply to play up his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

"Nope! Practice until you're all comfortable riding a boat! "Guo Yi's attitude is undoubted, if he is in the north, he will definitely choose to march with cavalry. But in the south, the waters south of the Yangtze River crisscross the country, and if you are not suitable for taking a boat, you will no longer be able to gain a foothold here.

Pound smiled bitterly: "Lord." We can't swim, and if we fall into the water, we'll die. ”

"I'll teach!" Guo Yi said coldly: "You all give me a good study, at least you must be able to float in the water." ”

"Yes!"

Guo Yi took off his coat and wore only a pair of briefs. When the dragoon camp saw this, everyone followed suit. Fan Xin hesitated again and again, but still took it off. Pound was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Lord, why are your pants so ordered?" ”

"Oh, forgot!" Guo Yi turned his head, looked at Fan Xin coldly, and yelled, "Fan Xin!! How many times do you want me to say it?! All those who join us have to learn to adapt to our lifestyle! ”

"Yes......" Fan Xin instructed a soldier, "go, give Captain Pang a new military uniform." ”

Pound looked at the shorts and shorts in his hand, looking confused. But seeing that Guo Yi and the others were like this, swimming around in the river without shyness, Pang De had the courage to change into briefs and jumped into the water with a thud.

Since his high school and school ban, Guo Yi has not gone down to the river to swim for nearly a decade. Now returning to the familiar southern waters, it is simply a dragon entering the sea, so unpleasant. I swam to the other side of the Han River in one breath, and danced in the water to my heart's content, like a heavenly enjoyment!

"Cool! South! River! My home! ”
