Zhao Dian's face was full of anxiety, he didn't want to go to war with Zhi Yanzhi, but he didn't want to disobey the court's orders. Who could have predicted how things would play out in the future? If you stand on the wrong side, it's not something that can get by. As soon as he thought of this, he said to Xu Liang: "Xu is participating in politics, and the order Zhao received is that it is impossible to let a soldier cross the river. If you want to go to Hangzhou, if you don't pass through my defense area, I can't control it. If you want to pass through here, you can't! I don't want to embarrass you and Zhe Xuanfu, so don't embarrass me either. ”

Xu Liang unceremoniously exposed the little thought in his heart: "Zhao Xuanfu, if you want to protect yourself, no one can be offended, right?" But I'm telling you, you have to make a decision now! Is it on the side of the rebels, or is it the king of diligence to protect the country! Zhao Dian waved his hand, which seemed to be non-negotiable: "I am a military minister" to obey moderation and "obey orders." Since the imperial court ordered me to keep an eye on the defense of the river, I must do my duty. I won't say anything superfluous, please tell Xuanfu, everyone is a brother in Paoze, how can we meet each other? After finishing his words, he ordered the ship to turn around.

Xu Liang didn't say anything more, he knew what Zhao Dian thought, and it was useless to say more. Then he also ordered to turn around and return to the north shore. Entering the barracks and entering the tent, Orihiko was discussing with his brother Hikomi Hikoruo, and when he saw him return, he asked, "How is the matter?" Xu Liu shook his head gloomily, and Zhi Yanzhi frowned: "Before, didn't it mean that Zhao Dian might raise troops together, but it was possible to let our army go?" "It is estimated that in the past few days, the Emperor Taishang has given him an edict, or he will be promoted to a knighthood and promised heavy benefits. Xu Liang said in a deep voice.

Zhi Yanzhi was silent for a moment, and explained: "It's okay, since he refuses to let him go, let's find a way." "What else can be thought of? Zhao Dian held the elite sailors in his hands, all of them were big ships and huge ships, "If we don't say that the ships are not enough, even if they are enough, how can we fight the navy?" Xu Liang was a little discouraged, and even began to think about changing his route.

At this time, Zhi Yanwen said with a smile: "Participating in politics has you forgotten who sat on the other side of the river back then and repelled the Jin people?" ”

As soon as he reminded Xu Liang, he remembered that when the Emperor Taishang was in power, he led hundreds of officials to flee to Fujian, that is, to stay in Zhonggu and sit in Zhenjiang Mansion. He commanded the Zhenjiang Naval Army and defeated the Jin Army's naval division in the river, so that Beiyi dispelled the idea of forcibly crossing the Yangtze River and "entering the south of the Yangtze River."

"How did I forget this verse? Zhenjiang Water Division, who obeyed orders under Zhe Xuanfu back then. Today, Xuanfu Xianggong led the army so far, how can they be willing to face each other? Xu Liang's bad luck was swept away, and he was a little excited.

Zhi Yanzhi smiled and shook his head: "Don't be too happy, the Zhenjiang Sailor did fight under me in the past, but time has passed, and people don't sell my face, don't say it." ”

"No, no, as long as Xuanfu Xianggong shows up, how can the Zhenjiang Sailor half point the finger at the old chief? Although Zhao Dian was the envoy of the two Zhejiang Xuanfu, his pro-army was only Qin Feng's army transferred from Shaanxi, and the sailor may not obey him! ", Xu Liang said.

"Well, we've searched for the ship as much as we can, and it's about the same. Tomorrow morning, I will start crossing the river and I will be the first to go" You see the opportunity to act, and the command of the troops will follow. ", Zhi Yan commanded.

Obviously, his approach is exactly what Xu Liu said.

There was nothing to do that night, and all the troops were ready to cross the river as ordered. Xu Liu didn't sleep all night, and finally got to the next day, "early in the morning of the first day of the winter month." Hu Luàn had a meal, "The sky has been brightened, but it is still foggy. He found that the soldiers had been fed but had stayed in the camp and had not driven to the river. Ran to Zheyan's tooth tent and asked loudly: "Xuanfu Xianggong, why don't you cross the river?" Zhi Yanzhi reassured: "Don't be anxious to participate in politics, this fog locks the river" for the time being. After the morning, the fog clears, and it's not too late to go. When Xu Liu heard this, he had no choice but to wait patiently. After a while, he went out of the tent to see "just hoping that the fog would disappear quickly." It wasn't until mid-morning, when the sun penetrated the clouds to "dispel the fog," that Orihiko gave the order, and the army crossed the river!

At the sound of an order, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, heavily armed soldiers flocked to board the ship. The boats they swept and requisitioned were really five huā and eight gates, ranging from small fishing boats to large ferries carrying passengers.

Zhi Yan stood by the river, with his back to the surging Yangtze River, and said with his fists in his hands: "Xu participates in politics, Zhi Mou will take a step first, and you will follow." "Good! Xuanfu Xianggong is moving quickly! Xu Liu returned the salute.

Zhi Yan Zheng instructed Zhi Yanruo: "You must ensure the safety of Xu's participation in politics, and if there is a change, you will immediately send someone to send you back to Jiangbei." "Brother, don't worry, even if you break me, you won't be less involved in politics!" Zhi Yanshi replied loudly.

Zhi Zhonggu nodded, "Only then did I board the ship." More than 60 large and small ships "left the north bank with Zhi Yanzhi and more than 1,000 soldiers and sailed towards the south bank of the Yangtze River." Orihiko took a ferryboat that could carry more than 30 people. On the bow of the boat is a large flag, on which the word "fold" is clearly written, hunting in the river breeze! Behind him, dozens of boats broke through the water, and although they were of different sizes, they were spectacular!

Like him, "only more than 1,000 people and more than 20,000 troops at a time" may take a whole day to cross the Yangtze River. This is still under the premise that the Zhenjiang Water Division will not stop it!

Orihiko seemed to be quite confident in this, and he had a chair set up in front of the bow of the ship, which he placed under the flag, and he himself sat on the chair, holding his knee with one hand and pressing his knife with the other, and looked calmly ahead.

Because they were full of people, the ships did not move fast. For a while, I didn't notice anything unusual in front of me. But soon, the soldiers of the Zhejia Army found that five huge ships appeared in a row on the river in front of them! The soldiers of the Zhejia family, who had resisted the Jin army in Zhenjiang, were no strangers to this kind of ship.

This is the largest warship of the Zhenjiang Naval Division, its name is "Flying Tiger", the length of the ship is more than ten zhang, and it can carry five or six hundred sergeants. If it's just a big ship, it's not very important, and the worst thing is that there is a ramming angle in front of this ship, and the smaller ship will break when it meets it. Moreover, there is no "slap pole" in front and back of the ship, just like the robe car used to attack and defend the city, and the shè boulders, like these boats that the Zhejia army is riding now, one by one, there is no chance to fight back.

In addition, this kind of warship has a "paddle wheel", and the navy steps on the paddle wheel plate to drive the warship to hit the water and advance, and it also has an advantage in speed. Back then, Zhi Yanzhi commanded the naval division and wiped out the fleet hastily formed by the Jin army, all relying on this kind of flying tiger warship.

Now, Zhao Dian's shot is five, and the meaning of intimidation is very strong.

Orihiko obviously saw the oncoming giant ship as well, but he was as calm as ever. Soon, the two fleets were getting closer and closer, almost to a distance of less than a hundred paces! The flotilla of the Zhejia army was still approaching, and the five warships of the Zhenjiang Naval Division showed no signs of stopping.

The closer the distance became, the more nervous the soldiers became. Because the five warships on the opposite side are coming at almost full speed!

"You won't really attack us, will you?" Already the soldier muttered quietly.

"It's hard to say" It's hard to say, damn, Lao Tzu won't drink water! "The landlubbers are in a hurry.

"You coward, the husband is still ahead, what are you afraid of?" The officer scolded when he heard this.

When the two fleets were about eighty paces apart, the soldiers of the Zhe family suddenly saw a few black dots rising from the five warships. Everyone gasped, it's broken, the other party is really fucking black!

Those few black dots soared into the air, and fell rapidly! It is the big stone that was issued by the "slap stick" on the Flying Tiger warship! Just listen to a few loud noises, and a column of water several feet high rises on the surface of the river! The momentum is terrifying!

The stone bullet fell more than 20 steps in front of the fleet of the Zhejia army, and if you get any further, you will be hit by the stone bullet! How many people in the Folded Army know how to water? Even if you don't get killed by stone bullets, you will be knocked over into the river and drowned, otherwise, you will be smashed by the Flying Tiger warship!

Some people are scared, and the people who are rocking the oars are so frightened that their hands are soft! Although they lived here, they saw many sailor ships. But at this time, it's not the sailor who is practicing in Cào, but he still has to fight with real swords!

Seeing that the fleet of the Zhejia Army did not stop, the Flying Tiger warship fired another round of stone bullets! Orihiko, who was at the front of the fleet, even felt the splashing mist on his face, but he could imagine how close it was!

Hearing the exclamations of the soldiers behind him, Zhi Yanzhi turned his head sideways and said: "Keep moving, those who retreat die!" ”

Most of the soldiers are not accustomed to water, and they are already frightened when they stand on the rickety ship, "At this time, when they saw the giant ship coming, they sent stone bullets to deter, and the horror in their hearts can be imagined!" However, the orders of the Prime Minister came from ship to ship, and even if the soldiers were afraid, they did not dare to disobey them.

The two fleets are getting closer and closer, and although Zhe Yanzhi is as steady as Mount Tai, his hands holding his knees have been clenched!

And the five Flying Tiger warships lined up directly opposite still showed no signs of stopping. The one in the center was clearly in charge, and at the bow of the ship "a group of sailors were loading their holsters with stone bullets, ready to come and go!"

"Okay! Come! When an officer saw that the stone bullet had been loaded, he waved his knife and shouted. If this stone pops out, it will inevitably fall in the fleet of the Folding Family's army!

At this moment, a soldier discovered the anomaly and shouted: "Fold the flag!" Fold the flag! ”

Hearing this, the officer's heart was shocked, and he shouted without thinking: "Stop! Stop! "Shout, make sure that the soldier is not in the shè, look at it! I saw that in the oncoming fleet, on the front ship, there was a big flag! The word "fold" on the flag is clear, and when you look closely, there is still a person sitting under it!

Fold flags? Could it be the troops of Jiangxi Xuanfu? Why didn't you say it? How did Zhe Xuanfu get here? The officer was puzzled by a series of doubts, but the matter was serious, and he immediately turned and shouted upstairs, "Commander! Oncoming, it seems to be folding the troops! ”

Think about it, this Flying Tiger warship, with three floors above and below, the commander of the command fleet is at the top, and the people below have seen it, how can he not see it?

Hearing the shouts of the officers below, he shouted on the railing: "Whoever is the troops, dare to cross the river by force, I will attack them!" Stoneballs! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below! From officers to non-commissioned officers, there was a lot of discussion: "Zhe Xuanfu is our old commander!" Back then, he led us to defeat the Jin Army's naval division in one fell swoop, blocking Beiyi on the north bank, and unable to enter the south of the Yangtze River! After that war, we all benefited from the Xuanfu and Tui Gong soldiers! Since he is here today, we are not Di Yi beasts, how dare we attack the old chief? Can't do it! Can't do it! ”

At this time, there were also voices on the warships on the left and right, and the soldiers all shouted, "This fold Xuanfu soldiers, can't do it!" ”

The commander who lived upstairs was Zhao Dian's cronies, and the former Qin Feng Jingluo was in charge of the pacification department. As soon as Zhao Dian received the news, he knew that Xu Liang and Zhe Yanzhi were going to force the Yangtze River, and he was also worried that Zhe Yanzhen's Yu Wei was still among the Zhenjiang Naval Division, so he sent his henchmen to command the fleet. In order to prevent the officers and men of the navy from remembering the old kindness and refusing to be hostile.

Seeing that the sailors had disobeyed the order, the commander shouted on the ship: "Don't you be afraid of military law if you violate moderation!" Fast! Bump it over! "The distance is getting closer and closer, and there is no need to send shè stone bullets, it is better to hit them directly! The five warships were lined up, and if they were about to collide forward, the fleet of the Folded Army would immediately be divided into four points

Five Splits!

"Brother" is not only the army of Xuanfu, but the prime minister himself is more likely to sit on the boat, how to succeed? ", the soldiers surrounded the officer, eagerly.

The officer stared ahead, he could already see Orihiko, but he couldn't tell the difference. But just imagine, sitting under the folded flag, there is a chance that the best may be Xuanfu Xianggong! Hammering the knife into the boat, the officer gritted his teeth and said, "Quick! Veer! ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the soldiers shouted in unison! Spread the word of the river!

A moment later, the five warships turned around as if they had made an appointment! to avoid crashing into the opposing fleet! The Commander is furious! He drew his saber and ran down the ship's building with murderous vigour" as he walked, shouting: "You dare to disobey!" Don't be afraid to rectify the Fa on the spot! When he rushed to the deck, he saw that the officers and men were all looking at him, and not one of them showed fear on their faces! The officer who gave the order strode forward, clenched his fists and bowed his head: "The order is from a lowly position, and the commander will cut it down, and he will cut off the head of the lowly person!" ", the commander raised his knife, but he couldn't cut it down" because he could feel the anger in the eyes of the shè around him.

"What is your intention when you are in battle?" , The officer said proudly: "It's the people who came to Zhe Xuanfu, Zhe Xuanfu used to be my boss, and Yu Shishu was gracious" How can I give him a black hand? "Do you only know kindness, but don't you know the law of the land? The Commander's face contorted with rage.

The officer was silently unable to answer, but by this time "the five warships had been avoided, and the fleet of the Folded Army passed through the gap they had avoided. None of the Flying Tiger warships issued shè bows and arrows, and the soldiers of the Folding Family, who originally thought that this was a bitter battle, cheered!

Sitting on the bow of the ship, Orihiko got up steadily, and he didn't see anything unusual on his face, he arched his hands and greeted the soldiers on the Flying Tiger warship on the left and right respectively. He previously said to Xu Liang, "It's hard to say whether people sell face or not." But now it seems that "although he went to Jiangxi, he still has residual power in the Zhenjiang Naval Division" otherwise, it would not have been avoided by all five warships!

This pass is passed, as long as he crosses the Yangtze River and lands on the south bank, even if Zhao Dian sends troops to attack, he is not afraid. Mo said that it was the troops of the Xuanfu Division of Liangxi, even if it was the Western Army under Xu Wei, he didn't think it would be stronger than the Zhejia Army. Looking left and right, the five Flying Tiger warships were heading in the direction of the military port, he turned around, and said to the army: "Full speed forward, land as soon as possible!" In response to him, there were thunderous cheers from the soldiers of the Zhejia Army!

The first troops landed without any obstacles. Zhao Dian obviously didn't expect that the sailors would let the army come over without hindrance, so he did not fortify along the river.

When the news reached the north bank, the whole army thundered with joy, and Xu Liang couldn't wait to cross the river with the second batch of troops.

"Xuanfu Xianggong shook the north and the south, I really admire!" Xu Liu couldn't hide his excitement, and when he saw Zhen Zhonggu in the crowd, he saluted and shouted from afar.

Zhi Yanzhi greeted him and chuckled: "This is nothing, but the Zhenjiang Water Master was inspired by loyalty and righteousness, so he did this righteous act." This is really too modest, and the officers and soldiers of the Zhenjiang Water Division probably don't even know it. The reason why it is not hindered is entirely because of his prestige in the past.

"Why should you be modest?" Xu Liang said casually, "It's just that I'm afraid I still can't be careless now, in case Zhao Dian sends troops to stop ......", without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhi Zhonggu raised his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this, but there are three or four thousand people crossing the river, why are you afraid of Zhao Dian?" Xu Liu felt that he was talking a bit big, although Zhao Dian's troops did not fight as much as your Jiangxi Xuanfu Division's troops, but the foundation of the people was the elite of the Western Army, Qin Fengjun, before the Song Jin War, Qin Fengshuai was among the famous generals of the Western Army!

Therefore, he persuaded: "Although the Qinwang army avoids Zhenjiang City, this place is not far from Fucheng, and Xuanfu Xianggong must not be guarded against!" Orihiko smiled: "Of course, I still have to arrange some things, so I will miss the company first." "Okay, Xuanfu Xianggong is busy. Xu Liu saluted each other.

The place where King Qin's army landed is called Dagang Town, which is only dozens of miles away from Zhenjiang Fucheng. The Zhejia army began to land in the middle of the morning, and by noon, nearly half of it had come. But unexpectedly, for such a long time, the troops of the Xuanfu Division of the two Zhejiang provinces did not make any movement!

Zhao Dian must have received the news, it stands to reason that when the three or five thousand people of King Qin's army came, his troops had already rushed to intercept it, why was it still nowhere to be seen now?

Zheyan didn't have time to think about this, it was best not to come, and he was not afraid to come. He ordered Zhi Yanwen to continue to urge the troops to land and assemble, and he convened other generals to discuss follow-up matters. Since it landed in Zhenjiang Mansion, the next step must be to go straight to Hangzhou. Previously, Xu Liu had said, "It is said that the troops of the front division of the palace around Hangzhou are only more than 7,000 people." It's just that Zhao Dian has to be counted now.

If the fight starts, no one in the Zhejia army will be afraid of the field battle, and they are afraid that the troops of the Xuanfu Division of the two Zhejiang provinces will hold on to the city. If you go to siege the city, it's over, how long will the battle last? If you don't attack the city, what if the two Zhejiang armies wait for you to pass and threaten your retreat? King Qin's army didn't have a lot of supplies, and if it fell into a stalemate, it wouldn't be good. In view of this, the generals and generals all agreed that the soldiers were fast, regardless of the rest, and they would go directly to Hangzhou City! It is best to solve the problem as soon as possible and calm the situation, if not, you can also wait for our people from Jiangxi!! ~！
