However, after thousands of calculations, I didn't count this major event of recruiting security, which was about to be conclusive, and there was really a change.

In an instant, it was the seventeenth day of the lunar month, on the edge of the Yangtze River less than three miles south of Anqing City, Huang Jie led Hua Rong and Liu Qi, who were covered in camel hair, shrunk in the meat wall composed of three healthy horses, wiping the green snot flowing from their noses, and were watching the spectacular scene of the fishermen in the river swinging hundreds of river shuttles to catch winter fish.

It is said that this saury fish is also migrating during the winter moon of the year every year, but this year is a little strange, this is already the seventeenth month of the lunar month, but there is no trace of the brigade of saury in the river, only occasionally catch some fish that slip through the net. And Tong Guan himself is also a glutton with a good appetite, and he can't give Wang Qing the swordfish he is looking for to enjoy alone, so the Ezhou sailor who was originally cruising in the river couldn't bear Tong Guan's reprimand, so he simply hired more than 100 nearby fishermen to come to fish nearby, and promised to reward money if he found a knifefish, so that there was such a scene now.

As for Huang Jie and the three of them, of course, they didn't come to the riverside to see the scenery and drink the river breeze, the sailor promised a reward for the fisherman's swordfish, and he promised a reward for the real bream, two hundred yuan for a bream, and five hundred if it was a real bream, but now it is the wax moon, and the bream likes to lurk in the deep water for wintering, but it is also rare to catch, such a reward is really not much.

However, in an hour, more than a dozen river shuttles were received, and more than a dozen bream were really found, but there was no real bream. Huang Jie also sold it for money, and then led the two of them to bring the fish back to the back camp to cook a pot of bream to eat.

Just as they were about to leave, they heard the sudden sound of dense drums on the river, and Huang Jie and Liu Qi were not surprised. On the contrary, Hua Rong was surprised to put his hand on the pergola and looked in the direction of the lower river, and said, "Strange! How to beat the rearmament drum? ”

Immediately, the two of them also followed Hua Rong to look down the river. But he couldn't see anything, so Huang Jie asked, "What about the drums?" Didn't you beat the drum several times? ”

Hua Rong also explained: "Uncle doesn't know. The drum used by the navy was struck just now, but now it is the drum that will be beaten when the enemy is encountered. ”

Huang Jie also listened carefully, and then turned his head to look at Liu Qi, who was also confused, and smiled as well: "Hey! Hua Dalang not only has good eyesight, but also good ear power! ”

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a flash of fire on a boat in the middle of the river, and after about seven or eight breaths, he heard a thunderclap. Suddenly the three of them moved, Liu Qi said: "Strange thing, the cannon was also used, where is the strong enemy on this river?" ”

Huang Jie immediately tied the bream basket in his hand to the saddle, got on the horse and said, "Go!" Let's take a look! ”

Immediately, the three of them rode their horses along the river bank and ran down the river, and after walking more than ten miles, they also found a high slope near the river, and then saw that the sails in the direction of the river were all shadowed, and the top of the boat was hung with black flags, and the sails were all painted black. There are hundreds of large and small bows, but most of them are merchant ships, passenger boats and large and small river shuttles.

On the other hand, the sailor also reacted after the cannon sounded, and the sailor warship that was originally cruising nearby quickly took action after hearing the cannon. The ship moved closer to the command building ship in the middle of the river, and after a while, at least 30 bow falcons and fighting ships were assembled, as well as more than 100 boats and river shuttles. Seeing this, the fishermen who were fishing in the river also hurriedly swayed upstream, fearing that they would be affected.

After the naval division battleships were assembled. He anchored in the middle of the river and firmly blocked the waterway. The black sail and black flag fleet that came down the river also stopped after approaching a distance of less than a mile, and the two sides also confronted each other.

Just when Huang Jie and the others watched against the river wind and felt a little chill all over their bodies, they heard a large sound of hooves from the direction of Anqing, and when they looked back, they saw the honor guard of the brigade in front, nearly a thousand cavalry escorting more than a dozen carriages were marching in the direction where they were, and the big banner held by the leader clearly wrote the words "Imperial Xuanfu System Envoy Tong", and immediately Huang Jie also led Hua Rong and Liu Qi to the side again, and stopped in a sparse forest on the shore after exiting half a mile.

When I looked back, I found that this team of people actually took the Linjiang Gaopo station that Huang Jie and them had chosen before, and quickly set up a building in a car.

After Liu Qi glanced at it a few times, he pointed to a figure with flashing light on the cocoon and said, "Look, how did Tong Guan come in person?" Could it be that there is really an enemy army to brush the tiger whiskers of the imperial court officials? Da Lang knows who are the people on these black boats coming down the river in front of him? ”

Huang Jie also rolled his eyes and said, "I know?" But it's definitely not the Liao and the Tanguts! ”

Instead, Hua Rong got off his horse, found a big tree four or five feet high and climbed it, and soon heard him: "Uncle, the people on the black boat are preparing for battle, and I am afraid that they will attack the officers and sailors." ”

Huang Jie was also surprised when he heard this, telling him that these black ships were all medium-sized and small passenger and cargo ships, not to mention the building ships of the navy, if they really fought, even if the sailors and the fighting ships rushed down with enough strength, the splashing waves were afraid that they could also knock them over!

After another half hour, there seemed to be no sign of action on either side, but the fleet of the officers and sailors gathered more and more, and almost blocked the entire river. In addition, in order to stabilize the hull of many ships after anchoring, they also began to hook up with iron chains and leather ropes to form a fortress-like ship formation.

Just when he was bored, he saw that the three horsemen had bypassed the high slope where Tong Guan and the others were stationed, and quickly leaned towards Huang Jie's side, and entered Sun Li, Di Hao and Zhu Gao, Huang Jie pulled Sun Li to look at the battle of the black ships, and asked, "Big brother, do you know which way these black ships are?" ”

Sun Li frowned, and replied: "Da Lang still remembers Wang Yin and his gang who destroyed Huashi in Wulixi, outside Suzhou? ”

"Wang Yin?" Huang Jie thought about it, then clapped his hands and said, "But the Sun and Moon Alliance? ”

Sun Li nodded and said, "Not bad!" It was the Sun and Moon Alliance. Before, their gang fled to Huzhou, so they called the Huzhou government to take the life, but who knew that the escort road encountered a strange wind, so they fled, and then they fell into the grass in Taihu Lake to become water thieves, marked by black flags and black sails, and for more than a year, Wang Yin laid a foundation. ”

When Huang Jie heard this, he was stunned: "The name in the city is Wang Qing, and the name in the river is Wang Yin, could it be that the two are brothers?" ”

Sun Li shook his head and said, "I don't know, but now that Wang Yin has led a large group of people, I'm afraid that there is a plan!" ”

At this time, they suddenly heard the sound of a cannon on their side, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was a cannon set off in front of Tong Guan's car on a high slope, and then they heard that the cannon also sounded on the boat of the river sailor, and then they saw more than a dozen bow falcons and fighting ships untying their ropes and raising their sails, and they were about to kill the black boat formation down the river!
