Lai Hu'er, the capital of the Sui Army, was a big man with a beard and a tall man, Yang Guang saw him at first glance in Guakoudu, outside Anzhou City, and seemed to see the second Yujuluo reincarnation, and he was really taken aback, and at the same time had a good impression of Lai Hu'er inexplicably.

Because Yang Guang had encountered robbers on the halfway from Shouchun to Anzhou, Wang Shao strongly persuaded Yang Guang to take the overland route to Guangling, but Yang Guang retorted that since the head of the army had to cross the river to fight, and he, the commander of the whole army, had never led the army to engage the enemy on the water, if he was not allowed to personally walk on the river and make a field survey of the battlefield in the future, it would be difficult for him to guarantee the success of the war.

Wang Shao couldn't bear the responsibility for the defeat of Chen, so he had to personally accompany Yang Guang to Guakoudu, and specially told him to ensure the safety of Yang Guang's life.

Laihu'er originally planned to ask Yang Guang to pretend to be a businessman, and take a civilian ship that transports goods between the two sides of the river down the river to Guangling, and by the way, along the way, he can also better observe and understand the situation on the river, and now seeing Wang Shao so solemnly told him to ensure Yang Guang's safety, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and after thinking twice, he still couldn't help but complain in front of Yang Guang and Wang Shao.

"Your Royal Highness, Wang Servant, do you know, some time ago, all the Nanchen Naval Army on the south bank of the Yangtze River was transferred to the vicinity of Jiankang, and rushing from Anzhou to Guangling, it is inevitable to pass through the river near Jiankang, even if more than a dozen warships are used to openly escort His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Guangling, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing goes wrong......"

Yang Guang turned his head to look at the merchant ship moored on the river near the ferry, and asked Lai Hu'er with a smile: "If General Lai said this, it is better to disguise yourself and take this merchant ship to Guangling?" In this case, just act according to the general's original plan, and don't worry too much about this king. ”

Wang Shao couldn't think of a better way to avoid exposing Yang Guang's whereabouts for a while, so he had to tell Laihu'er to send two merchant ships with hundreds of elite soldiers behind the merchant ship where Yang Guang was sitting to strengthen the escort army to ensure Yang Guang's safety.

After Yang Guang and his entourage boarded the ship and set off, he sent a sergeant to Guangling on a fast horse, and informed Gao Ying that Yang Guang had gone to Guangling by water from Anzhou, and asked Gao Ying to send a naval army to meet Yang Guang and his party.

Yang Guang was still the first time in his life to take a boat on the river, after the merchant ship pulled anchor and set off, he took Liu Fang, Xian Yuluo and others out of the cabin on the foredeck, raised his eyes to look at the river, but saw that the river was vast and vast, rushing to the east, quite spectacular, and then to the other side of the river, he couldn't see the situation on the other side of the river at all, so he turned around and said with a smile to Laihu'er, who came to hear the news: "I'm afraid the general is too worried, I see that the river is so wide, even if the Nanchen Navy on the other side finds out our whereabouts, if you want to send a ship to attack, And how can it be in time? ”

When Lai Hu'er heard Yang Guang say this, he knew that he was not proficient in water combat, so he hugged his fists and explained: "The prince must not be careless. If the enemy discovers that this merchant ship is carrying you, you can only send warships to surround it in front, and then pursue it with dozens of fast boats, and stop us in less than half a day. Fighting on water is different from that on land, and is affected by many factors such as weather, wind direction, and water potential. ”

Yang Guang heard Laihu'er's words, turned around and looked at the empty river, and didn't believe Laihu'er's words in his heart.

Laihu'er took the opportunity to say that he explained to Yang Guang in detail the situation on the waterway from Anzhou to Guangling.

After walking by boat for nearly a day and a night, Gao Ying finally successfully entered the river of Guangling territory, Gao Ying received the military report sent by Wang Shao, did not dare to have the slightest sloppiness, and assigned He Ruobi, the head of the Wuzhou march, to personally lead the Guangling Navy to wait in Shanyang and prepare to welcome Yang Guang and his party into Guangling City.

When the merchant ship traveled to Shanyang, Yang Guang had two choices: one was to abandon the ship and land and ride into Guangling City; The second is to change to a small boat with a shallow draft and go down the mountain and Yangdu into the city.

Two years ago, Yang Guang heard that his father, Emperor Yang Jian, in order to prepare for the army to attack Chen, ensure that the military resources and grain needed for the war were continuously transported to the former enemy, and ordered people to dig and build an artificial canal near Guangling, and connected the Dajiang River with the Huai River with Shanyang.

Today, seeing that the ship has entered the boundary of Guangling, Yang Guang heard that the front is Shanyang, which has just been built, and he can't help but ask Laihu'er to prepare a light boat for him, and he wants to take a small boat along Shanyang to enter Guangling City, the famous capital of Jiangzuo.

Lai Hu'er also arrived at the boundary controlled by the Sui army, thinking that there would be no more accidents, so he ordered the Guangling water army that came to meet him to get off a clipper, and personally accompanied Yang Guangkai to take the clipper into the Shanyang water, while enjoying the scenery of the suburbs of Guangling, while sailing towards the city.

Just when the fast boat that Yang Guang and Lai Hu'er were riding traveled nearly ten miles along Shanyangdu, and the tall gate of Guangling City in front of them had come into sight, Xian Yuluo, who was behind Yang Guang, inadvertently lowered his head, and suddenly found a very terrible thing, and shouted loudly: "Lord Wang, be careful, our ship is in the water!" ”

Yang Guang and Lai Hu'er looked down when they heard the sound, and sure enough, they saw two or three places on the deck under their feet bubbling with water, and the river water pouring into the boat had begun to spread around.

"There are people in the water when the ship is launched! Quickly row the boat to the shore and protect the prince ashore! Laihu'er stepped forward to protect Yang Guang and ordered loudly to the sergeant on the ship.

Fortunately, the water surface of Shanyang is not very wide, Xian Yuluo found that the boat was flooded in time, under the strict precautions of Lai Hu'er, Liu Fang, Xian Yuluo and others, the four rowing sergeants struggled to row the oars, and finally rowed the boat to the shore before the fast boat sank due to too much water.

Lai Hu'er ordered Liu Fang and Xian Yuluo to protect Yang Guang ashore, and he led several sergeants to jump into the water with a thud, diving under the water to hunt down the person who had just hidden under the water and scuttled the clipper.

Under the protection of Liu Fang and others, Yang Guang landed on the river bank unscathed, insisting on waiting on the bank for the return of the guards to catch the water thieves. Liu Fang couldn't resist Yang Guang, so he had to order the sergeant to quickly report the news of the presence of water thieves in Shanyang to scuttle the clipper that Yang Guang was sitting on to He Ruobi.

He Ruobi didn't expect that Yang Guang would continue to enter Guangling City by water, and waited for a long time in Lei Gongtang in the south of Guangling City with a group of partial generals, ready to welcome Yang Guang to ride into the city, and suddenly heard that there were water thieves in Shanyang, and scuttled the fast boat that Yang Guang was sitting on. He himself rode a fast horse to see Yang Guang and pleaded guilty.
