The swimming soldiers swam slowly, no one wanted to swim to the front, the bodies of the people who had just swam the fastest were still floating there, who knew if there were any water ghosts under the water in front of them, in case there were still no left, waiting for the brothers to go down and wipe their necks.

Xu Dingguo saw that his forehead was bruised, and he scolded angrily, and the soldiers in the river barely had the courage to speed up a little, but it was still very slow. Less than ten zhang away from the water, stunned to be swam out for a long time, it is estimated that the cavalry going upstream have found the bridge, the first one has only touched the boat, he carefully climbed into the boat, drew his knife and looked around, walked around the boat, and then shouted to the shore with confidence: "There is no one on the boat, they have all run away." ”

The soldiers in the river climbed into the boats and searched them one by one, and found that each boat was empty, and that the gang of thieves had indeed run away, and none of them were left. The soldiers propped up the artemisia and slowly approached the boat towards the shore.

"Lord Sule, it seems that the thieves are afraid of the might of the Qing Dynasty, so they left the cargo on board and ran away." Xu Dingguo looked at the boat on the river slowly approaching the shore, his heart settled in his chest, and he said to Su Le with a relaxed expression: "Lord Su Le returned the goods to Zhao, congratulations." ”

Sule snorted in his nose and shook his head noncommittally, not saying a word.

Xu Dingguo was bored, and his words about wanting to have a relationship with this young Jianzhou officer with a low official position and inexplicable status were ruthlessly cut off, and his face was full of embarrassment, but he didn't know why Su Le was talking so coldly to himself, so he had to turn his head sullenly and watch his subordinates dock the ship and shut his mouth.

In fact, Su Le was nervous in his heart, where was the half frightened look when the gang of water thieves left, they were obviously running with a big swagger, and they didn't take the more than 1,000 people on the other side of the river into their eyes at all, and when they left, they were very chic, and they didn't take the crushed cargo on the ship to heart, if the ship was really loaded with the two million taels of gold and silver, would they be so stabbed?

Out of secrecy, Su Le did not tell Xu Dingguo about the gold and silver looted by Li Tingyu's gang of troops, but only said that it was the goods of the imperial court, so Xu Dingguo looked relaxed when he saw that the boat was taken back, and Su Le was even more panicked.

With suspicion, without waiting for the ship to dock, Souler couldn't wait to jump off his horse, took a few steps to the water's edge, and jumped up in the air like a big Kunpeng bird, flying over the water more than a foot wide, and gently landed on the nearest boat.

Xu Dingguo followed behind, looking at Su Lelu's hand, he couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but secretly cheer, this handsome kung fu is not something that can be pretended, this uncle is young but deeply appreciated by Prince Yu, it seems that it is not the ability to be a rabbit master, but the real military exploits on the battlefield.

Xu Dingguo weighed it and felt that he might not have the ability, so he had to honestly wait for the boat to lean firmly on the shore before going on the bow of the boat along the gangplank. But he saw that Sule had already uncovered the tarpaulin in the cabin, and was looking at the contents in a daze.

Glancing under the tarpaulin, Xu Dingguo was also stunned, the cargo in the cabin that pressed the huge boat almost to the side of the ship turned out to be a mess of big stones!

What's going on? Did the Qing court want to transport stones from the south to the north? I heard that the BJ Imperial City was burned to rubble by Li Zicheng's fire, do you have to rely on these stones to rebuild? No, isn't there any stone near the capital?

Xu Dingguo peeked at Su Le, and saw that the expression on the face of this adult was colorful, his face was blue for a while and white for a while, his teeth were clenched, his eyes were red and almost bleeding, and his heart was immediately bright: Dare to love that the things on this ship are wrong, these stones must not be what Su Le is looking for, the real goods have been stolen and transported to an unknown place, but these twenty ships are the bait for people to confuse themselves, and he and Su Le have been fooled!

"What the hell did they lose? Don't tell me, it seems that the Manchurians don't trust Lao Tzu very much. Xu Dingguo's heart was clear, and he was a little resentful: "When is this happening, you still don't tell the truth to Lao Tzu, yes, I don't want to participate, whatever you want, you can do whatever you want me to do, but don't think that Lao Tzu will give you a dead force." ”

Xu Dingguo was thinking nonsense on the side, but Su Le slowly recovered after a short period of anger, his face changed back to a cold appearance, and after kicking a stone under his feet into the river like an angry kick, he turned to Xu Dingguo and said in a deep voice: "General Xu, please immediately mobilize the Cao transport boat, and we will go to Hongze Lake!" ”

Xu Dingguo is not a stupid person, after a little thought, he understands that since the bait is heading north, the real target must be the opposite, and Hongze Lake to the south is the Huai River, and the anti-thief army will not stay and wait for the army to come to the door, it must be towards the Huai River. He understood Su Le's order as soon as he heard it, thought about it for a while, and immediately arranged the order for the soldiers around him, and then said to Su Le in a deep voice: "Lord Su, this transfer of the boat is simple, but it is particular about entering the lake, the water thieves on the lake are powerful, and the Ming Dynasty has been suppressing bandits for ten years in vain, I am afraid that the general's troops are not enough to deal with it, is it not from Xuzhou or Nanjing to transfer troops to cooperate?" ”

Su Le looked at Xu Dingguo with disdain, Xu Dingguo rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "It's not that the general is cowering, it's really that there are only more than 2,000 people under his command, Prince Yu went south and took away most of Huai'an's troops, I have more than enough strength but not enough strength." ”

"General Xu don't worry, I'm not going to the lake to suppress bandits." Souler sighed and said, "It's just a gesture to make the thieves think that we are going to enter the lake in a big way, and force them not to stay on the lake for a long time." ”

Xu Dingguo suddenly realized, patted his head and said: "Oh, it turns out that the adult wants to combine the virtual and the real, and he clearly enters the lake to suppress the bandits, but he is really waiting for the rabbit, and he is smart!" ”

While speaking, Xu Dingguo looked at Su Le with admiration on his face, his expression was fascinated, as if it was not Su Le standing in front of him, but Zhou Yu.

Su Le was unmoved, and still said coldly: "Then it will trouble General Xu, as long as the momentum on the lake is sufficient, that gang of thieves will definitely be flustered and will not choose the way." I will lead the people to rush to the banks of the Huai River without stopping, and set up a blockade on the Huai River to block them on the river. ”

Xu Dingguo said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Lord Su, Xu will definitely make a big show and lead the whole army of his sons and daughters to dispatch, fight for this life, and act according to the order, and live up to the trust of the adults!" ”

He said in an awe-inspiring tone, but he didn't mention what to do between his words, let alone how to treat the water thief, and said secretly in his heart: "You little Tartar, you want Lao Tzu to be a substitute for the dead ghost, there is no door!" It's okay to make a noise, but let me fight with those water bandits, but it can't. ”

Su Le said again: "That batch of imperial court goods, priceless, heavy and abnormal, the thieves escaped with it, it is very difficult, maybe they will find a place to hide on the spot, Xu Zongbing should be more careful on the lake, as long as the goods are found, the official will be crowned, it will be a matter of time." ”

Xu Dingguo said: "In this way, Xu Dingguo must be 100,000 attentive, this Hongze Lake Qianli Zeguo, even if you use the oar to measure, you have to find it inch by inch, please rest assured that Lord Su." But he said in his heart: "Okay, frame me with lies again, and want me to go to the death to suppress the bandits, when I Xu Dingguo has been in vain for so many years?" Aren't those rebels rebelling for the goods? Although I don't know what it is, how could they stay on the lake, those water thieves are the masters who kill people and oversell goods when they see the money, and they really have such valuable things, and they have already robbed them all. ”

Between the two conversations, it was clear that Su Le didn't delay much, he was very anxious in his heart, and after going ashore, he took his hundreds of Jianzhou cavalry and left with a bang, and after a while, he disappeared.

Xu Dingguo stood on the side of the road, looking at Su Le who disappeared in the loess sky, a mouthful of phlegm spit on the ground, snorted, leisurely got on the horse, took a group of Huai'an soldiers and horses, went to the Caoyun Wharf, and transferred the boat to the lake, he thought very clearly, took all the military ships to the lake, and marched on the lake for a few days, intimidated the water thieves, and everyone tacitly avoided each other, and then handed over the errand.

After all, the troupe in the backyard is still waiting for him, that Hua Dan, that figure, hehe, Xu Dingguo is riding on a horse, his eyes are shining, and the corners of his mouth are drooling.
