On the Yangtze River three days later, countless large and small ships set sail from the Yangtze River in Dazhou, full of soldiers with armor, looking downstream. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

The fleet was almost impossible to see at a glance, and all the ships along the river were all collected and gathered here, and 80,000 soldiers of the Chuang Army were crowded on the boats, hugging together and enjoying a rare rest.

The first wave of the fleet was a lot of small boats such as fishing boats, which were light and few people, and played the role of scouts, going out to the waves of the army for ten miles, scouting the enemy's situation, and giving back information at any time.

Two miles apart, is the second wave of the fleet, the beginning is an official ship, the hull is wide, enough to run horses, there are three floors, all carved beams and paintings, very gorgeous, obviously used to be the ship of dignitaries.

It's just that at this moment, there are several big flags with black characters on a white background on the ship, which are fluttering on the boat, replacing the previous official flags, and the flags are embroidered with three big characters "Li", "Gao" and "He".

A young man stood at the bow of the boat, this man was six feet tall, with a strong physique, a bee-waisted ape arm, a face as deep as a knife, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wide ears and a wide forehead, his hand pressed the long knife at his waist, his head was held high, his eyes narrowed into a slit, carefully looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, showing a thoughtful color.

On either side of him, there were two rugged men, both of whom were extremely strong and incomparably strong, more than six feet tall, and the iron armor draped on their bodies could barely accommodate the bulging muscles of the two people, one of whom was on the right, his beard was like a steel needle, his eyes were like copper bells, his face was like a silver basin, and his voice was like thunder; The one on the left is more elegant, but it is only relatively speaking, with a sharp axe hanging from his waist, carrying a longbow, and his demeanor is full of brazenness.

These three people are the famous ministers of the Dashun Dynasty, the general Li Guo, the general of the system, the general Gao Yigong of the Dragon and Tiger, and the general soldier of Hanzhong, He Zhen.

Among them is Li Guo, Gao Yigong on the right, and He Zhen on the left.

Behind the three of them, thousands of sails competed, 10,000 people C oars, the Yangtze River was stagnant, countless "Shun" word flags fluttered in the wind on the bow of the ship, and the strong soldiers stood with their arms, and the spectators all looked sideways.

Li Guo's eyes had a complicated look, he was less than forty years old, his temples already had spotted white hair, and on his cold face, even if he was covered by an iron helmet, he still couldn't hide it; Pursing his lips, his hands hanging down his waist, looking at the scenery on both sides.

Gao Yigong blacksmith was born, thick on the outside and fine on the inside, known for his bravery, he is Li Guo's uncle, noble in seniority, but there is no frame, at this time according to the position of dignity, respectfully standing behind Li Guo, as if a protector of the King Kong, faithfully guarding Li Guo.

He Zhen was a general of the Ming Dynasty in his early years, surrendered to Li Zicheng during the Chongzhen period, and still maintained his usual style of Confucian generals.

These three people are Li Zicheng's generals who stayed in Shaanxi, since the loss of Xi'an, the Tongguan was broken, Li Zicheng hurriedly led the main force along the Xiangfan Road to the south, leaving a large number of troops in Shaanxi and Gansu to resist the Qing army in the local area and had no time to take care of them, including these three people.

At that time, Li Guo was in Gansu, Gao Yigong was in Yulin, and He Zhen was in Hanzhong, and was cut off by the Qing army from the Xi'an line, unable to follow Li Zicheng south to Huguang, the central government of the Dashun regime collapsed, the dragons were leaderless, and many generals surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, only these three people, still refused to surrender, and led their subordinates south to Sichuan, hoping to enter Huguang from Sichuan to find traces of the main force.

Among them, He Zhen belongs to the nature of escort, when Li Guo out of Sichuan, he has to return to Hanzhong, stick to the important place, and look forward to Li Zicheng can make a comeback in the future, from Huguang to Guanzhong, at that time Hanzhong's position is very critical, so there can be no loss.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong belong to Li Zicheng's close relatives, and they have an unshirkable responsibility, they must find Li Zicheng's traces and go, Guanzhong has fallen, and there is no way out except to follow them.

They still don't know that Emperor Yongchang of the Dashun Dynasty has died in Jiugong Mountain, and the rest of the army, under the leadership of Hao Shaoqi, Tian Jianxiu and others, temporarily sheltered in Huguang, like rootless duckweed, panicking all day long.

In Li Guo's heart, he was also worried, worried about the future outcome of Dashun, thinking about how to be reborn in defeat, the situation was already very clear, Emperor Yongchang, that is, his uncle Li Zicheng had been defeated in the struggle with the Manchus, discarding a large area of land along the Yellow River, in desperation, he could only hope to break through to the south, capture the Southern Ming before the Manchu Qing, defend according to the Yangtze River, and divide and rule with the Manchu Qing in order to plan for the future.

However, the Qing Dynasty Prince Ying Azig was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, chasing after him, and the prince of Yu in the south, Duoduo, attacked Jiangnan from Shandong, and cut off the road of the Dashun army to the south from the other side, attacking from both sides, where could Li Zicheng escape?

I am not around, with Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, two down-and-out talents, what clever ideas can I come up with? Li Guo was so anxious in his heart that he couldn't wait to have his wings on his back, fly to Li Zicheng's side, give him advice, and kill the enemy.

He Zhen stood beside him, her eyes flickering, as if she was thinking about something, her eyes wandering, her brows furrowed, as if she was hesitating about something.

"How far is it ahead?" Li Guo has been standing on the bow of the boat since the morning without moving a step, as if his feet have taken root, growing on the ship's board, under his calm face, the irrepressible anxious look is irrepressibly expressed in the tone: "Why is the boat driving so slowly? ”

"Nephew, the ship is already fast." Gao Yigong stood aside steadily, and said in a deep voice: "It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's almost in Kuizhou, so it can't be faster." ”

Li Guo frowned: "It's not enough, no matter how fast, no matter how fast." ”

Gao Yigong was helpless, turned his head and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Order, all ships speed up, and those who neglect will be engaged in military law!" ”

The soldiers bowed and promised loudly, and immediately went.

He Zhen stood aside, watching coldly, without saying a word.

Gao Yigong turned his head and turned around, looked at Li Guo who was standing on the bow of the boat like a wangfu stone, was a little uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "General, the emperor has his own natural appearance, and he has the right to be by his side such generals, and it will be okay to think about it, you don't have to be too anxious, if you are careful, it will be chaotic, but it will not help." ”

When Li Guo heard this, he stood in place and did not answer, but closed his eyes and sighed, before he slowly turned around and said in a deep voice to Gao Yigong and He Zhen: "Uncle, General He, having said that, I can't sleep and eat in my heart, I can't sleep and eat in my heart, I don't get to the emperor's side for a day, I am frightened for a day, and I always feel that the situation is unpredictable. ”

Gao Yigong also sighed, shook his head and said nothing, he followed Li Zicheng all the way back to Shaanxi from Beijing, the current state of the Dashun army is not bad at all to describe as a frightened bird, losing Xi'an, it is an incomparably heavy blow to the spirit, the Dashun generals who have not regarded themselves as rogues returned to the liberation overnight, how can they not panic? Since the emperor could not escape, how many generals and officials surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, countless, even to the point of shaking the foundation of Dashun, if it were not for some of the original Ming Dynasty generals to surrender to the Qing army, where could Dashun fall into such a field?

Li Guo waved his fist fiercely, and said hatefully: "Tang Tong and other children are capricious, I hate to swallow their R alive!" If he could capture this fang, I would kill him alive!" ”

The Tang Tong he said was the battle of Shanhaiguan with a stone, the Ming Dynasty general army that originally surrendered the Dashun army, and at the critical moment of the impact of the Huang Taiji army, the whole army of Tang Tong surrendered, which intensified the pressure of the peasant army to some extent, leading to the rout of Li Zicheng's whole army in the end, resulting in the loss of Beijing and the beginning of the failure of the Dashun army against the Qing Dynasty.

When He Zhen heard this, his whole body trembled imperceptibly, and the shame in his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly turned his face forward, pretending to wait and see the scenery on both sides of the strait to hide his gaffe.

His eyes were originally unintentionally looking, but under the first look, he opened wider and wider, until his face changed dramatically, and he stretched out his hand and pointed ahead and shouted: "Two generals, look, what's ahead?" ”
