Chapter 90: I still ran into it

After traveling for more than half a day, a large river blocked the way, and according to the information provided by Zhang Chujiu, he walked west along the river to reach Hengyang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Moreover, Juzheng's main range of activities is on the other side of the river, which is really good news for Zhao Shuo.

The river flows through the mountains, and walking on the shore has a unique taste, which makes Zhao Shuo feel very good.

At the same time, Ju Zheng left the cottage with everyone, according to Wu Yashi's speculation, Zhao Shuo came here to deal with the mob, so he would definitely attack their cottage.

In order to avoid a confrontation between the two sides, Wu Yashi suggested that Juzheng abandon his entrenched northern part and enter the southern mountains. This was recognized by Juzheng.

Zhao Shuo walks along the river with great ease, in a good mood, talking and laughing with Fluttershy, who is with him. If this passed through Juzheng's control, it would be great, and when he arrived in Hengzhou, he wrote a letter to the emperor's uncle, and said that he had swept Juzheng.

Whether the uncle believes it or not, he came through Juzheng's control anyway. That alone is convincing enough.

Good things are always short-lived, and when Zhao Shuo was still thinking about good things, Feng Gonggong, who was in charge of the army's food and grass, ran over.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, something is wrong."

It is by no means simple to make the always calm Father-in-law Feng lose his temper so much. The smile on Zhao Shuo's face instantly dissipated, and he asked urgently. "Grandpa Feng, what's going on?"

"Lord Wang, there have been several waves of sneaky people in the rear, and the old slave has sent people to check on it a few times, but they have all returned in vain." Gonggong Feng replied.

"How many waves of sneaky people?" Zhao Shuo frowned. "Gonggong Feng, according to your inference, who do you think they are?"

Gonggong Feng didn't think about it, and said with great certainty. "According to the old slave's speculation, these people should be a mob led by Juzheng."

"What is the reason?" Zhao Shuo asked.

"This area is already controlled by Juzheng, and those waves of sneaky people, the service and weapons are all uniformly configured, and they are by no means ordinary robbers, the only possibility is Juzheng's men." Gonggong Feng analyzed.

Zhao Shuo sighed and nodded. In fact, as soon as Gonggong Feng opened his mouth, Zhao Shuo guessed that these people were Juzheng's subordinates, but he still didn't want to believe it, so he asked Gonggong Feng. Now that he has been explained by Gonggong Feng, he can't believe it or not.

"Lord Wang, what should we do?" Seeing that Zhao Shuo agreed with him, Gonggong Feng asked.

"I wanted to just hide from it, but now it seems that it is impossible." Zhao Shuo said helplessly. "But if you fight, relying on us people is almost like sending you to death."

"Lord, don't we have fifty shells! The slave maid felt that there was still a chance to win. Fluttershy speaks.

Although the cannonball is a big killer, the number is too small, if it can be endless, even if there are only a few hundred people, Zhao Shuo dares to push Dajin. But now it's different, it's okay to scare the mob, once the fight starts, there will be a possibility of melee combat if there are not enough shells, and once the melee is fought, these hundreds of people are not enough for the other party to stuff their teeth.

"Good steel needs to be used on the blade, and cannonballs can't be used now." Zhao Shuo rubbed his temples. "Tell the herald to inform Zhang Chujiu that we will search for boats crossing the river on the spot, and we will cross the river."

"Crossing the river?" Fluttershy and Grandpa Feng are stunned.

"Yes, cross the river." Zhao Shuo took a deep breath and continued. "Now we are weak, and we can only walk with each other."

"Oh!" Fluttershy purses her lips. "The slave will give the order."

"Wait!" Zhao Shuo grabs Fluttershy. "Inform the whole army and speed up."

Zhao Shuo's army increased the pace of its advance, while the troops in the rear stayed where they were, waiting for new orders.

"Second brother, this is your good idea." Ju Zheng snorted and looked at Wu Yashi. "Tell me what we're going to do next."

Wu Yashi was very helpless, he couldn't understand why Zhao Shuo, the prince who was ordered to attack the mob, would run to a place where the mob did not often appear.

"This~" After a little thought, Wu Yashi said. "If the eldest brother doesn't want to clash with King Pingnan, we might as well cross the river to the other side and return to the cottage."

"We're going to cross the river again, didn't we just cross the river? And now again? What are you going to do every day? ”

The cottage was originally on the other side of the river, in order to avoid Zhao Shuo, everyone crossed the river to come over, but they didn't expect that now they are still trying to avoid Zhao Shuo, and they have to cross the river to go back, which made Hu Xu very unhappy and couldn't help complaining.

"Yes, second brother. We are not enemies of that King of Pingnan, it is a big deal to retreat, why do we need to cross the river now. Shi Fei echoed.

"King Pingnan's army has already discovered the surveyors we have sent, if they follow these surveyors after them, we will not ......fight or not," Wu Yashi looked at Ju Zheng meaningfully.

"Inform the whole army, immediately cut down trees, and build a pontoon bridge to cross the river." Juzheng gave the order.

When Ju Zheng's men were building a pontoon bridge, Zhao Shuo finally joined Zhang Chujiu after a rapid march for half an hour.

After Zhang Chujiu received Zhao Shuo's order, he began to order the soldiers who followed him to cut down trees. But due to the small number of people, when Zhao Shuo caught up, he only cut down a few dozen.

"Lord Wang, do you want to send more people to cut down trees?" Zhu Feng walked over and bowed and said.

"There's no time! The mob could catch up at any moment, and there was no time to cut down trees. Zhao Shuo pondered for a moment and ordered. Remove the branches of the trees and push the trunks into the river. Those who know water control the direction in front, and those who don't know water cling to the trunk. The army is ready to cross the river! ”

At this moment, everyone was stupid.

"Lord Wang, in this way, we may be swept downstream, and ......" Zhu Feng has been a soldier for decades, and experience at this time tells him that this will not work.

"Do you think it's dangerous to cross the river, or is it dangerous to be caught up by the mob led by Juzheng?" Zhao Shuo interrupted Zhu Feng and asked.

Zhu Feng was stunned, it is true that there will be danger in crossing the river like this, and there will definitely be casualties, but compared to being caught up by the mob, the two sides are entangled, and the losses caused by crossing the river are completely negligible.

Thinking of this, Zhu Feng saluted. "The Admiral understands."

In order to dispel the concerns of the soldiers, Zhao Shuo was the first to cross the river, of course, it was not that Zhao Shuo was bold, but because his water was quite good.

Under the leadership of Zhao Shuo, everyone went into the water one after another and drifted down the river.

The water in the mountains is fast and slow, and it is difficult to cross the river to the opposite side. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly someone pointed to the front and said.

"Look, there's a pontoon bridge there?"

This voice gave hope to the tired crowd.

The trunk of the tree leaned against the pontoon, and the people climbed onto the pontoon, and then went to the other side of the river, where the fatigue of the day swept in, and after setting up the tent and changing their clothes, they went to sleep.
