The commanders present were familiar with the bloody gas, they were all pawns who had been on the battlefield, and the red-eyed fighting men couldn't smell it, at this time, Qi Qi's face suddenly changed color, and he realized that the situation was wrong.

The commander who opened his mouth stepped forward, and lifted off the hat covering the sentry's head, and suddenly a bloody and hideous face was revealed, and the soldier had a deep bloody wound on his neck, the wound had solidified, and the person was already dead.

Everyone gasped, and involuntarily took a step back, glancing at each other with pale faces.

It's a big deal!

The commander who had begun to push down the sentries had become incoherent, shaking his hands wildly, and stammering at the crowd, "No, it's not me! Not me! I just shoved him, I didn't do it! ”

No one paid attention to him, and everyone was thinking about one thing: what happened in the Qing army barracks?

Several old and steady commanding eyes alternated, and they all rushed up in unison, rushing into the gate, the whole camp was silent, and several people rushed into a tent closest to the gate as if no one was there.

The tent was not large, but it was clear at a glance, and it was a mess inside, and several corpses that had fallen to the ground could be seen standing in the doorway, and the ground was covered with blood, and the stench of vomit and the pungent smell of blood were mixed together, almost smoking the few people who broke in.

Several of the conductors were bold men, and after only one glance, they withdrew.

"Spread out and look at every tent." The man who exited said with a trill.

More than a dozen commanders immediately dispersed and ran through the tents, shuttling between the tents.

The whole barracks were empty, there was not a single living person, and there were corpses lying on the ground everywhere, and all the dead were badly wounded, either with their necks wiped or a hole in their chests.

After a while, the commanders gathered at the gate again, all of them pale, and some of them were a little timid, and they couldn't even walk steadily.

"The corpses are all hard, it must have been several hours since they died, probably last night." Some people deduce that the military man who has killed people has an accurate judgment on this kind of thing.

"Is it a horse thief?" Someone asked.

"No way, you saw it last night, the horse thief snatched the carriage and left, and he didn't come here at all." Immediately there was opposition.

"I saw that the baggage battalion and Li Tingyu's team in the middle of the camp were gone, could it be that they did it?" The man who said this was a conductor who had just entered the center of the camp.

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, the already pale faces of the commanders began to turn blue, this is terrible, Li Tingyu is the same as them, Liu Liangzuo's old department, the surrendered army that has just surrendered, the Qing army has always regarded them as one, and now the Qing soldiers have been killed, even Zuo Ling Tuhai has been cut off his head, Li Tingyu is gone, this matter is very clear, Li Tingyu is reversed!

But what do they do? They didn't dare to rebel, what would the Qing soldiers think? Will you be angry with them? At the thought of this, everyone's legs and stomachs began to tremble, and their necks were cold.

Just as a dozen commanders were standing on the hillside in fear, helpless and in a daze, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves outside the valley, and it sounded as if a large group of cavalry was rushing in.

The hillside is condescending, you can see the valley mouth at a glance, now it is noon, the line of sight is excellent, everyone does not make much effort, just see at a glance, rush into the valley mouth, is more than 100 cavalry, the knight is neatly draped, wearing an eight-petal iron helmet, wearing chain mail inside, covered with cotton armor, pedaling cowhide riding boots, everyone carries a long knife on the waist, carries a long bow, the horse steps on the official road, and raises the loess all over the sky.

The commanders' hearts tightened, and before they could go down the hillside, the group of cavalry rushed up with their horses and whips.

The leading knight was tall, with a pair of sharp eyes under the iron helmet, a suit of chain mail shining in the sun, and the whole person was on a horse, which was intimidating, and the sharp-eyed one had already blurted out a shout: "It's Lord Souler!" ”

In front of the gate of Sullema, he saw a group of soldiers gathered at the gate of the gate and cowered, probing his head at his group, and the military camp was lifeless, and he was puzzled in his heart, and immediately shouted on the horse: "The gate is heavy, you are gathering here, don't you know the military law?" ”

The commanders looked at each other, not daring to say anything, but quietly dodged a crack, revealing the dead sentry who had fallen at the gate.

Seeing the corpse that was so hard to die, Soul's mind was like a thunderbolt, and his body shook on the horse, and then immediately the lightning long knife came out of the sheath, and shouted loudly: "Surrender and rebel!" Take them all! ”

The cavalrymen who followed him uphill were well-trained, and when they heard a shout from Sule, they immediately unsheathed their swords and buckled their arrows, and the horses' hooves flew in a fan-shape, trapping a dozen command regiments in the middle, the tips of their knives shining coldly, pointing condescendingly at their heads.

When these commanders saw the Qing soldiers, they were weak-legged, and when they saw this formation, they were frightened, and they knelt down first, trembling, and shouted together: "My lord, my lord, it's not me who waits, we just came up, and we didn't kill people!" ”

Su Le snorted coldly: "Isn't it? I'll see you later, and I'll explain to him. ”

The conductors looked at each other with their heads down and white faces, shaking even more. The leader of the old commander was bold, walked a few steps on his knees, squeezed the corners of his eyes, and fell out a few tears, and then luckily dantian, with a big mouth, "wow" with a painful runny cry, raised his head and cried: "Lord Sule, Lord Zuoling, Lord Zuoling and the whole battalion of flag soldiers, all killed!" ”

This sound was like a shock, so shocked that the soldiers of the Eight Banners were all colorless, and they couldn't stop looking at the camp, Su Le's face changed a few times, and he didn't care that it was the Ming army who was kneeling on the ground that he regarded as a pig and a dog, and the tiger body jumped, turned over and jumped off the horse, grabbed his shirt with both hands, and the iron palm was like a pair of steel clamps tightly choked his throat, and roared: "What did you say?!" ”

Lao Cheng's commander was almost suffocated, he almost couldn't breathe in one breath, and in a hurry, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and howl wildly: "It's dead!" All the people in the camp are dead, and so is Tuhaisa, all dead! ”

Su Leru was struck by lightning, his body stood up violently, and he threw away the old commander who was about to fall unconscious by himself, and shouted at the cavalry who were still in a circle: "What are you still doing in a daze? Check it out now! ”

The cavalrymen woke up from a dream, dismounted one after another, and rushed into the camp in a swarm.

On the other side, when the sky was just dawning, Li Tingyu and Wang Huan arrived at Hongze Lake.

The time coincides with the rising sun, the glow of the sun is reflected on the blue waves of thousands of miles, the golden light is sparkling, the scenery is infinite, there is a layer of mist like milk looming on the water, the sun shines, drifts away. The water on the lake is clear, the breeze blows, the water sound is surging, the fish jumps and the waves roll, there are early fishermen boating on the water, the boat is reflected in the water, and the lake scenery is the same color, the whole lake is boundless, as wide as the sea, the light boat is dotted among them, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Wang Huan and the others couldn't help but be stunned, such a beautiful scenery, they couldn't help but stop on the shore and watch it.

"It is indeed worthy of three thousand miles of Hongze Lake, this beautiful scenery is really not covered!" Li Tingyu praised loudly.

Wang Huan was also emotional, and blurted out: "The flat boat leaps while it is empty, the sky and sunset shine red on the oblique lake, the birds frighten the birds in the shallow sand at night, and the snowflakes on the willow bank are in the morning." ”

Li Tingyu and the big soldiers and the little monks standing on the side of the two of them brightened their eyes, even if they didn't understand the poem, they could hear that this was a poem praising the beauty of the lake, and the words in the poem just said the artistic conception that everyone wanted to say but couldn't say, scratching the itch of everyone, so they cheered in unison.

Li Tingyu cocked his thumb and laughed loudly: "It is worthy of being my senator, you can compose poems and recite words in an instant, the writing is so good, this poem is also done well, you literati are amazing, and your head is full of articles." ”

Everyone praised again, and they all followed Li Tingyu's thumbs up.

Wang Huan's old face was red, and his heart was sweating wildly, this is a poem made by Marshal Chen Yi when he crossed Hongze Lake in later generations, he was touched by the scene, and read it out casually, but it was praised by a group of ancients as his work, even if he was as thick as a city wall, he was a little embarrassed. And this poem is written about the evening scene of the sunset, at this time the sun has not fully risen, and it is too wrong to read it.

Wang Huan hurriedly pretended to smile and changed the topic: "Master Li, this scene is a beautiful scenery, but it is not a good day." ”

Li Tingyu patted his head and said suddenly: "Yes, yes, I just cared about the scenery, and I almost forgot about it." ”

He put his hand on the pergola, looked at the lake, looked at it for a while, as if he saw something, the corner of his mouth grinned, pointed to the lake and said: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives, you see, isn't it there." ”

In the direction pointed by the big hand, a string of black dots was slowly appearing at the intersection of water and sky on the lake, because the distance was too far, if it weren't for Li Tingyu's eyesight being different from ordinary people, he could look far away, and he wouldn't have found such a string of black dots in the direction of the rising sun.

Li Tingyu turned around and shouted, let his subordinates hiding in the reeds on the shore come out, and quickly lit the reed rods that had been cut and piled together, and suddenly a puff of black smoke was born on the ground, like wolf smoke straight into the sky, and the smoke column was thick and straight, and it could be seen from a long distance.

The black dot on the lake seems to have also discovered the black smoke here, and began to move towards this place, slowly approaching, and after a bag of cigarettes, the black dot began to slowly become larger, gradually the human eye can be distinguished, the outline is becoming clearer and clearer, and the appearance of the boat is revealed.

Li Tingyu and Wang Huan stood on the shore, staring closely at the ships in the distance, from small black dots to getting bigger and bigger, and after another quarter of an hour, the fleet approached not far from the shore.

"It's a grain ship." Li Tingyu said in a deep voice: "I have seen this kind of boat on the canal, and there is nothing wrong. ”

Wang Huan nodded, he also saw the appearance of the boat, this is a square-headed flat-bottomed boat, the hull is fat, the draft is very deep, the load capacity is second to none among the inland river vessels, it is an important means of transportation in the Ming Dynasty: the boat.

"It seems that Ma Quan succeeded." Wang Huan said.

At the bow of the first ship, a strong man dressed as a scribe stood at the bow of the boat, looking anxiously at the shore, and beside him, an official dressed in the color of the Qing court robe stood impressively.
