From Jincheng to Longxi, it is very far, if you rely on foot, you have to count months, you have to cross two counties in the middle, and you have to cross the Surabaya Lake, the total distance is not less than two thousand miles, if you want to reach Longxi Zhizhi, it is not less than three thousand miles.

Such a long distance, fortunately, it is a horseback ride, and it only takes 10 days to reach the destination after traveling 200 to 300 miles a day.

Along the way, Han Wu was conscientious, took care of everything in the army, took care of the 20,000 army properly, and made good arrangements, Luo Yi saw it in his eyes and secretly sighed that Han Wu was a talent that could be created.

For example, when setting up camp, Luo Yi didn't have a clue at all, but Han Wu only needed to call a few generals in the army and give instructions, and the camp tent was set up, and it was very orderly.

Luo Yi smiled bitterly and thought that Zhou Gandang was worried that he would pry Han Wu away, it seemed that there was a reason, such a talented general, no one wanted to lose, everyone wanted to get it.

At this moment, Luo Yi really had that kind of thought, but as soon as this thought came out, he suppressed it, Zhou Gandang valued Han Wu so much, if Han Wu was pried away, he would definitely offend Zhou Gandang, before Longxi developed, Luo Yi didn't dare to risk this big thing in the world.

Five days later, Luo Yi and Han Wu came to Surabaya Lake with 20,000 iron horses.

Luo Yi raised his eyes and saw that there was no end in sight, and then he looked at the lake, there was still fine ice, if the weather was a little colder, the lake would definitely condense into ice.

"General Han, I don't know how big this Surabaya Lake is, how to cross it?"

Luo Yi asked with a frown.

Han Wu smiled: "General Luo doesn't know, there is a naval army in Surabaya Lake, although there are not many garrisons, but the boat is enough to carry us to Longxi, I have already sent someone to give the order, and there will be a boat later." ”

Luo Yi nodded and looked into the distance.

Soon, a soldier rode over quickly and said, "Two generals, the little one ran out for more than ten miles in one breath, and there is no water army camp by the river." ”

At the same time, another soldier ran from the right and replied, "Two generals, there is no one here." ”

Han Wu frowned and said, "Hey, this is strange... I remember that there is a water army in Surabaya Lake, how can there be no water village? Don't.... ”

Luo Yi asked, "General Han, do you know anything?" ”

Han Wu said: "I have heard people say that this Surabaya Lake has always been troubled by water thieves, and its strength is very strong, it can't be that the water village will be occupied..." ”

Luo Yi was speechless, rolled his eyes, and said, "General Han, you can't be joking, the camp of the officers and soldiers is occupied by water thieves?" How weak should this officer and soldier be? How strong are water thieves? ”

Regarding this issue, Han Wu was also very helpless, he said: "You don't know, although Surabaya Lake is big, but in the hinterland of Xiliang, there is generally no war, so the king has no intention of establishing a naval army, but just let hundreds of idle soldiers guard a hundred and ten warships here, responsible for transporting goods and soldiers. If there are really water thieves who make trouble, they will be difficult to resist, especially a few days ago, the king transferred all the soldiers of Longxi County away, and the water thieves saw hope and thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and Surabaya Lake was afraid that it would be even more chaotic. ”

After Han Wu said this, Luo Yi had a deeper understanding of Surabaya Lake. After thinking about it, Luo Yi said: "Then let's take a detour, and we'll talk about Surabaya Lake later." ”

Han Wu thought about it and felt that what Luo Yi said was right, now he couldn't find a boat, so he had to take a detour.

He took out a map, looked at it and said: "But this detour, I'm afraid it will take more than half a month, from the left to the front thirty miles, is a big mountain, we want to go to Longxi, we have to bypass this big mountain, we need to detour four hundred miles, and then cross Wuyang County, if from the right, and there is no official road, it is not conducive to my cavalry walking, and there are mountains and forests everywhere, it is difficult to distinguish the direction, the time spent, I am afraid that it is not less than the left.... ”

Han Wu said a lot of crackling, and Luo Yi was annoyed when he heard it. He asked, "Then what if we can find a boat, how many days will we need to walk across Lake Surabaya?" ”

Han Wu put away the map in his hand and said with a smile: "I crossed Surabaya Lake in that half a day." ”

Luo Yi said: "General Han, let's stay by the river for the time being, let's ask Wuyang Taishou for help, I believe he will help." The dignified Wuyang County, it won't even be able to take out a hundred and ten boats, it's really not, fishing boats are also OK, I remember that Wuyang County should be close to the Yangtze River, but it can go straight to the south of the Yangtze River, but there is such a thing? ”

Han Wu didn't know too much, he opened the map again, looked at it, and said, "Yes, I didn't expect you to know the terrain so well, Wuyang County is indeed close to the Yangtze River." ”

"Come on, give the order to go down, camp by the river, and don't leave today."

"Yes."

Two heralds went to give the order.

Luo Yi and Han Wu took their horses and walked to the side to rest, and in less than half an hour, the soldiers had already set up camp and camped by the river.

Early the next morning, Luo Yi and Han Wu took a team of soldiers and hurried to the Wuyang County Governance Office.

Xingjiao County is very far away from Surabaya, it takes a day's journey, about 400 miles, even if Luo Yi and Han Wu are fast, they will not be able to arrive until dark.

Fortunately, the horses in Xiliang are all good horses, and they take the official road and the avenue, otherwise it would have to be two days.

Early the next morning, the two arrived at Xingzhuan, and Chen Guozhong, the county guard of Wuyang, greeted him outside the city, welcomed Luo Yi and Han Wu to the county guard's mansion, and also set up a banquet.

But now that the military situation is urgent, Luo Yi and Han Wu have no intention of enjoying it, Han Wu said directly: "Lord Chen, we are looking for your help this time; My army of 20,000 marched to Surabaya, but there are no warships in Surabaya, and the army cannot cross the river. ”

Luo Yi and Han Wu's intentions, Chen Guozhong seemed to have known about it for a long time, and there was not much unusual color on his face.

When Han Wu said what he meant, Chen Guozhong's originally smiling face became cold.

Looking at Luo Yi, Chen Guozhong shook his head and said: "I'm sorry for the two generals, the warship, I really don't have it in my hands, I don't have any of them, if you really need it, give me half a year, how about I build a hundred for you?" ”

It's all nonsense, and I don't have a good face yet.

Han Wu snorted, "Lord Chen, what do you call this, what do you mean?" ”

Luo Yi could see that Chen Guozhong seemed to be in a bad mood, or rather, did he offend him somewhere?

Oh yes, it should be about Surabaya Lake and the three counties west of Surabaya Lake.

Luo Yi thought so in his heart.

was crossed out of three counties for no reason, and no one could have a good face, after Luo Yi thought about it, he understood Chen Guozhong very well.

Luo Yi said: "Lord Chen, why be so stingy, isn't it just three counties, it's worth being so stubborn?" Our territory is close to each other, but we will not look down and see you in the future. ”

"What? Am I stingy? ”

Chen Guozhong snorted coldly: "Okay, even if I'm stingy, you are generous, you find a boat by yourself, I don't have any of them." ”

"Humph! Outrageous! ”

Chen Guozhong was really angry, waved his sleeves, and strode away, too lazy to take care of Luo Yi and Han Wu.

Luo Yi asked, "General Han, what do you think we should do next?" ”

Han Wu said angrily: "What kind of madness is this kid smoking? We didn't offend him, so how can he show this stinky face to anyone? When I return to Jincheng, I must take a copy of him in front of the king, so that he can't eat and walk around. ”

"Hehe... The general does not have to be angry. ”

Luo Yi said: "The king assigned three counties under his county to me, and added a lake with a radius of more than 40 miles, of course Chen Guozhong was not happy, and it was difficult to borrow a boat in his hand." ”

"Well, I would have thought of this earlier, and I wouldn't have come."

There is no regret in the world that the medicine is sold, saying that it has no effect.

After Han Wu understood, he said: "You are right, this Wuyang County Guard is indeed stingy, and the three counties are also worthy of such unreasonable trouble." ”

"Let's ignore him, go find the warship ourselves, as long as we like it, we will take it away, I will see who dares to stop me."

Luo Yi smiled: "Good idea." ”

This is not a bad way, if you want to do it or not, you can grab it directly, anyway, Chen Guozhong doesn't dare to make a big deal about it, and he will rob it directly, and Chen Guozhong will definitely not dare to stop it.

Of course, this is to have warships in Wuyang County, if not, everything is empty talk.

That night, Luo Yi and Han Wu left the dried apricots and galloped towards the south of Wuyang County, the county seat near the Yangtze River. The two did not have time to sleep and had to take the boat back and forth in five days. Otherwise, it is really better to take a detour to Longxi.

In fact, when Chen Guozhong refused, Luo Yi and Han Wu had already regretted it, if they took a detour to Longxi, it might not take much time, at least it was easier than now.
