Chapter 65: Return to Hiroshima
~~~~~~~
Due to the tight time, the tunnel was built in a hurry, and the mud walls of the four walls were not neatly rested, but the space was quite wide enough for an adult to bend over and pass. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong couldn't take care of these details, and hurriedly passed through the tunnel and came to the exit outside the city.
Xu Heizi has been waiting here with people for a long time.
The main direction of the siege of Zhenjiang City by the Later Jin Army was north, west and south, and the east could not camp due to the terrain problem, and only a few sentry horses visited in the direction of the east gate.
As soon as Li Yuanqing and the two people came out, Xu Heizi immediately asked them to roll in the mud next to them, and the exit of the tunnel was about a mile away from the east gate, and there were many burned trees, reed stumps to cover it, and it was raining lightly at this time, and people were rolling in the mud, and the opposite side couldn't see that this was a living thing at all.
Li Yuanqing naturally didn't put up a fight at this time, rolled in the mud, covered in mud, and quickly commanded the team to run to the river.
At this time, at the beginning of the arrival of Yinshi, that is, around 3 o'clock in the morning, it was the time when ordinary people were the most sleepy, tired, and sleepy, Li Yuanqing and his two troops were like rats in the rain, and Houjin did not notice it at all, even if it was the night soldiers on the east wall of Zhenjiang, it was difficult to find out.
The group did not dare to slack off and quickly rushed to the riverside.
Shang Lao Liu asked people to take out more than a dozen tents that had been prepared a long time ago, and dozens of people worked together to blow air, and soon, the simple rafts made of tents were blown up and pushed into the water.
Except for Caizi and Chen Zhong's women, who crossed the river on the raft, everyone else jumped into the water, grabbed the raft, and paddled by manpower to push more than a dozen simple rafts to the opposite bank.
The river water at night was very cold, but these 450 people, all of whom were elites and henchmen under the command of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, were all middle-aged men, and there were not too many major problems, and the group successfully crossed the river bank.
Along the way, few people spoke, including Chen Zhong, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yuanqing, who was the real backbone of this team.
Coming to the riverbank ~ fresh land, it took about half an hour, and the rain tended to increase somewhat, and everyone was already drenched in 'soup chicken'.
Chen Zhong has already walked out of the malaise and came to the land of Chao~Xian on the other side of the river, which means that they have temporarily gotten rid of the threat of the Houjin army.
"Yuanqing, what are you going to do next? Where are we going? Chen Zhong whispered.
has reached this level, and the two naturally don't need to hide it anymore.
Li Yuanqing said: "The general went to Longchuan, but Longchuan may not be able to accept us now." This autumn rain is very hurtful, and we don't have too many supplies, so we still have to take our brothers to find a place to settle down and fill our stomachs. ”
In this regard, Chen Zhong obviously did not have as much experience as Li Yuanqing, and nodded, "Yuanqing, everything will be done according to what you say." ”
Li Yuanqing patted Chen Zhong on the shoulder, "Big brother, we will definitely live." ”
The two troops did not dare to slack off, and marched directly along the river bank towards the south.
A short walk to the south is the Tieshan area, where Li Yuanqing had been there for more than a month before and was very familiar with the terrain.
Without the slightest stop, even Chen Zhong, a pregnant woman and Caizi, could only keep up with the pace of the team.
By daybreak, the team had already walked twenty or thirty miles, and the sky was already heavy and gray.
But there was no village on the riverbank, and there was no shelter from the rain, so the group could only continue to move forward with difficulty.
At noon, the team finally arrived at a small fishing village with ~ fresh people.
Although Li Yuanqing was well prepared, how could he bring too many things with him during this kind of escape process?
At this time, Mao Wenlong had already gone to Longchuan, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were also in the territory of Chao~Xian, both sides needed the protection of the Chao~Xian official, and it was not appropriate to blatantly use force against the DPRK~Xian people.
Fortunately, Li Yuanqing left some silver when he attacked the salt field before, and ordered his soldiers to take it out, exchange some food with these villagers, and drink some hot water, and everyone's mental state was better.
Li Yuanqing also talked openly and honestly with Chen Zhong about the future whereabouts of the team.
At this time, Zhenjiang City must not have to think about it, although Mao Wenlong went to Longchuan, but when the Jin army ate Zhenjiang City, he would definitely not let go of Mao Wenlong in Longchuan, and it was really unwise to rush to Longchuan now.
But Chao ~ Xian is not a place to stay for a long time, and the Chao ~ Xian official can shelter Mao Wenlong for a while, but when the army of the Houjin Army comes, it will be difficult to say.
Li Yuanqing's meaning is to go to the Liaohai Sea to find an island to settle down temporarily, and wait for the news of Mao Wenlong's main force.
Chen Zhong thought about it for a long time, expressed his agreement with Li Yuanqing's opinion, and did not refute it.
There are no big boats in the small fishing village, only a dozen small boats, and in this state, Li Yuanqing has no choice, so he directly bought all these boats from these villagers at a high price, and bought some supplies, and the dozen or so small boats were almost at full capacity, and went down the river.
At this time, Li Yuanqing is no longer able to take care of the general trend, and the first thing he has to do is to take him and his brothers to live well.
In the evening, the team came to the mouth of the Yalu River, Chen Zhong meant, he wanted to go to Tieshan first and find a North Korean city to replenish, but Li Yuanqing wanted to go directly to the island, after all, in this state, no one knew whether the Houjin army would go crazy if it was empty in Zhenjiang, as long as it was the mainland, it would not be safe.
Chen Zhong hesitated, but still agreed to Li Yuanqing's plan.
Li Yuanqing already understood that although he saved Chen Zhong, the two of them could no longer be as close as they were at the beginning, and the estrangement was inevitable.
However, after rescuing Chen Zhong from Zhenjiang, Li Yuanqing did not have any regrets in his heart.
If Chen Zhong is still obsessed, then Li Yuanqing has no choice.
The team found a small village near the mouth of the river, rested for a short time, bought some daily necessities, and stepped into the vast sea overnight.
With Wang Hai and Guan Canghai here, Li Yuanqing didn't have to worry about the fleet getting lost.
It's just that the boat is narrow after all, and each boat is at full capacity, and the space for each person is naturally pitiful, but at this time, it can only be settled.
Li Yuanqing's position at this time, the nearest are two large islands, one is Zhangzi Island in the northwest, and the other is Phi Island in the southeast, Chao~Xian.
Phi Island is almost uninhabited, obviously there is no way to go, although Zhangzi Island has some population, but it is not much, the key Li Yuanqing does not know its terrain, and it is not easy to choose.
The fleet went all the way to the west, following the return journey of the surprise attack on Zhenjiang that day, and sailed in the direction of southern Liaoning.
On the way, Li Yuanqing discussed with Chen Zhong several times, and in the end, the two decided on a unified plan, that is, Guangludao.
First, Hirokashima was built by the two of them and was familiar with the terrain.
Second, Hiroshima has a large population and is rich in supplies.
The third and most critical reason is that Li Laohan's father and son, who were rescued by Li Yuanqing at the beginning, are now famous on the island, and Li Laohan's son has taken over as the island official with a thousand household positions, and the two have a very solid mass foundation there.
The fleet traveled day and night, and after two days, it reached the shores of Hirokashima.
Li Laohan's father and son were overjoyed when they learned that it was Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong who had arrived, and hurriedly set up a banquet to entertain the two and the officers under their command. Of course, the soldiers will not pull it down.
After a few days of exhaustion, they finally found a haven of rest.
At the banquet, Li Laohan was full of spirit, as if he was ten years younger, and he had a bit of a taste of pointing out the country, and Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were a little stunned.
Man. How is it alive, what kind of momentum, the key is to look at the chair under the buttocks.
At the beginning, who would have thought that this Li Laohan would have such ability?
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Li Laohan smiled and asked, "Lord Chen, Lord Li, I don't know if you two adults are coming here today, but what are your priorities?" ”
Chen Zhong was about to speak, but Li Yuanqing smiled first: "Well, this." Hehe. Mr. Li, as you know, we don't dare to disclose military affairs to the outside world. But what's our relationship? I can reveal a little bit to you. ”
Li Laohan couldn't help but be overjoyed, his fate had changed because of Mao Wenlong's surprise attack on Zhenjiang, and he hurriedly opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Lord Li, please say, Xiao Lao'er promises not to reveal half a sentence to others, even if my son is not a weapon, Xiao Lao'er will never tell me." ”
Li Yuanqing smiled and whispered a few words in Li Laohan's ear.
Li Laohan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, his eyes were full of joy, and he hurriedly said, "Master Li, don't worry. Xiao Lao'er will definitely fully support Wang Shi, and he will not hesitate to go bankrupt. ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Master Li, your words are far away." If you go bankrupt, then who will follow our Wang Shi to work hard? Everybody's getting rich. ”
Li Laohan was even more overjoyed, "Master Li, don't say much, come, let's drink, drink." ”
…………
Returning to the temporary station, Chen Zhong was puzzled: "Yuanqing, what did you say to that old man Li?" Why is he so happy? ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "I told him, we came this time to wait for an opportunity to counterattack southern Liaoning." As long as he cooperates well, when the time comes, the general will be indispensable to his benefits. ”
"This?" Chen Zhong couldn't help but be shocked, "How can we have the ability to counterattack southern Liaoning?" ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, of course I'm going to talk about this matter." After all, we have to stand our ground first. After being tired for so many days, you should also accompany your sister-in-law. ”
Chen Zhong nodded silently and turned to leave.
Looking at Chen Zhong's back, Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, this hurdle in Zhenjiang, Chen Zhong's heart, may not pass for the rest of his life.
Li Yuanqing looked up at the deep night sky, and suddenly felt that he was wrong to do this?
…………
When she returned to her room, Ayako had already packed up the bed, and when she saw Li Yuanqing coming over, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Master, are you back?" ”
Li Yuanqing smiled and gently grabbed Caizi's little hand, "These days, you've worked hard." ”
Although they are only halfway husband and wife, Caizi's gentleness and sensibility have helped Li Yuanqing a lot, resolved a lot of tyranny in Li Yuanqing's heart, and made him more and more affectionate towards this Japanese woman.
"Master, Ayako isn't hard. Being able to be by her master's side is Ayako's greatest happiness. Caizi looked at Li Yuanqing with adoring eyes.
Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity and hugged Caizi in his arms hard, "Life will definitely get better." We don't have to be displaced like this again......"
…………
The next day, Li Yuanqing ordered Shang Lao Liu to go to the official hall to negotiate with Li Laohan and his son, and purchased a large number of materials from Guangludao in the form of cash, mainly daily necessities, clothing, and food.
When he was in Zhenjiang, although he was very well prepared, he fled in a hurry after all, and there were too many variables, and the 450 soldiers under the command of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong basically did not bring anything other than weapons.
These days are rainy and rainy, and the people who are beaten with iron can't stand it, Li Yuanqing also wants to improve the basic living conditions for these soldiers, and by the way, let Li Laohan and his son and the people on the island earn a little.
Li Laohan and his son were naturally very happy, and the residents of the island also got a lot of benefits, but there was not much silver in Li Yuanqing's hand.
In the afternoon, Li Yuanqing accompanied the soldiers to do hundreds of push-ups at the station, and at this time, some of the soldiers who were inquiring about the news in front rushed back and brought back the latest news......
