Happy Valentine's Day, brothers and sisters, the boat is destined to be alone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

~~~~~~~

Ordinary boats are mostly about 2 meters wide, narrow, not too narrow, not too wide, and the length is mostly 5, 6 meters, 7, 8 meters.

In this way, the 30-pace-wide center of the river is enough for a dozen small boats to pass side by side.

How could Li Yuanqing hesitate?

Immediately, Li Yuanqing had a brief discussion with Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong, and the fleet directly entered the heart of the Sancha River.

At this time, there were 1,500~ soldiers in the three divisions, and with the addition of sailors, there were almost more than 3,000 people.

According to the width of the river, even if the big boats pass, there is not much trouble, but for the sake of insurance, Li Yuanqing and the three of them still chose all the small boats, leaving several large boats at the mouth of the Liao River, leaving 100 soldiers to guard each department, and Li Yuanqing's department put Wang Hai in charge of coordinating the boats at the estuary.

In this way, more than 400 small boats, 1,200 soldiers, and hundreds of sailors and miscellaneous servants entered the heart.

The inland river is no better than the sea, the situation is complicated, and at this time, the three people are going upstream, and Li Yuanqing does not have much experience in this regard.

Fortunately, there is Guancanghai, and Li Yuanqing will directly be responsible for the task of navigation and hand it over to Guancanghai.

Zhang Pan wanted to say something about this, but in the end, he remained silent.

More than 400 small boats, just like more than 400 big fish, as soon as they enter the river, they will block the river surface to some congestion.

Although it was winter at this time, the mouth of the Liao River was the intersection of the Liao River and the Sancha River, and the water flow was very large, and Li Yuanqing and the three of them had limited soldiers and sailors on each boat in order to bring more boats, so they could only paddle together.

Fortunately, the previous dinner was Li Yuanqing's generosity, both soldiers and sailors, they ate enough, although the wind was very strong, but in less than half an hour, the fleet smoothly entered the hinterland of the Sancha River.

Guan Canghai led dozens of small boats to open the way in front, and Li Yuanqing and the three of them sat on the small boats in front of the second echelon, responding to various changes at any time according to the surrounding environment.

At this time, although it has entered February and is about to reach spring, on both sides of the riverbank, there is a dry color everywhere, just like the battle situation of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodi, which is very depressing.

Although it was windy tonight, the moon was nice and the visibility was good.

By the time they arrived, the fleet had penetrated dozens of miles into the hinterland of the Sancha River, but on both sides of the river, there were basically no people in sight.

Even if there were one or two small villages, they were all dead silent, and there was not the slightest sign of people.

Chen Zhong couldn't help but sigh, "Liao affairs are so unbearable, you and I are responsible." ”

Zhang Pan also thought deeply, "Jiannu is rampant, if this disaster is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

In the future, no one understands the dangers of money rat braids better than Li Yuanqing. If history is left unchecked, tragedy will inevitably repeat itself.

But at this time, with the old slave's southern expedition to the north, the entire Liao land has fallen into his hands, and the Ming Dynasty has completely collapsed in Liaodi, and it is already difficult for the Ming Dynasty to make any moves even if they want to make any moves.

Li Yuanqing was actually very confused in his heart.

The courage of the Eight Banners, he already has a personal experience, with the military strength of the three departments at this time, he can't do much at all, he can only pick soft persimmons.

It's a pity, where is the soft persimmon so easy to find?

Even if they encountered a small-scale main force of Jiannu on the bank of the river, the three departments could only choose to flee in the wilderness.

However, opportunities are always left to those who are prepared, as analyzed before, the old slave got the materials of Guangning City, and he will definitely transport them back to Shenyang, and this transportation task is ten percent for Han slaves to do.

This is the biggest opportunity for Li Yuanqing's three departments.

The night wind was very cold, but it also made Li Yuanqing's mind clearer, going against the current, the speed of the fleet really couldn't be raised, and when it passed, it was about to dawn, and Li Yuanqing had to find a place to camp before dawn, and hide the three men and horses first.

Chen Zhong said a few words to Zhang Pan, and found that Li Yuanqing was staring at the riverbank in the distance, and hurriedly said, "Yuanqing, what are you thinking?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "I'm thinking, what should it be like to be a woman who is a slave." ”

Chen Zhong was originally in a good mood, but when he heard Li Yuanqing's words, he hurriedly took a sip, "Yuanqing, when did you have such a heavy taste?" Those barbarians, as thick as men. I heard that they can not only hunt and plow the fields, but when it comes to wartime, they can even go into battle like soldiers. Besides, what kind of woman can be raised? It's still my bright woman. Especially the small jasper in Jiangnan. ”

Chen Zhong let out a long sigh and looked south. Jiangnan, what should it look like?

Zhang Pan smiled: "Yuanqing, this matter is not simple? As long as we build a big city, my brother will find you a few, will you know soon? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "That's a good idea." ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing stretched his muscles and bones, and his face became solemn, "Two elder brothers, the speed of the countercurrent is too slow, and the sky is about to brighten, so we have to find a place to camp and rest first." ”

Zhang Pan said: "Yuanqing, it's just over the time, it's not too late for us to go in for a while." Why rush at this time? ”

Li Yuanqing shook his head, "Only when you are prepared can you be safe." Two brothers, on this trip, we must not easily expose our whereabouts, otherwise, we will not be able to get the fat, but we will get into trouble. The main thing is that we have too little information at our disposal right now. I still want to set up camp first and wait for accurate information during the day to determine tomorrow's action. ”

Seeing Li Yuanqing say this, Zhang Pan had no choice but to agree, "Yuanqing, you are good at everything, you are just too careful." ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but wonder, why is this sentence so familiar? I think more than one person has said that.

Zhang Pan nodded, Chen Zhong naturally had no opinion, and Li Yuanqing directly handed over the task of choosing to camp to Guan Canghai.

In less than half an hour, news came back from Guancanghai, a few miles ahead, there was a fork in the river, on both sides of the tributary, there were dense forests, and there was an abandoned village, where the team could choose to camp.

The history of human civilization has always been inseparable from water. Even in later generations, large urban civilizations were built on fresh water.

At this time, there were such good conditions, of course Li Yuanqing wanted to take advantage of them, and immediately ordered the team to go to the abandoned village to camp.

Soon, more than 400 small boats, silently changing course, came to this tributary of the Sancha River.

The small village is not large, about 4 or 50 households, but the houses are mainly rammed earth, which is mainly to keep warm.

Different from the large and small riverside villages in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Liaodi is vast and sparsely populated, and at this time it is a bitter cold place, with very few people, coupled with the war in western Liaoning, the common people are dead, and the people flee are even more desolate.

The team soon set up camp in the small village.

Li Yuanqing ordered the sailors and miscellaneous servants to rest first, leaving a few soldiers on duty at night, and the rest of the soldiers also went to rest.

Sailing against the current, whether it is a soldier or a sailor, the physical consumption is very large, and it is already the hinterland of Houjin, and the enemy may be encountered at any time, and the physical strength of the soldiers has become more critical.

And the sailors, to some extent, their physical strength is worth more.

In the event of a battle, if you are defeated, you can quickly row a boat and retreat.

Most of the rivers are 100 paces wide, and even if there is ice on both banks, it is difficult for the Houjin soldiers to chase them into the water.

After arranging everything properly, Li Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and together with Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan, he began to arrange the task of intelligence exploration.

Li Yuanqing's spies, except for the men and horses of the headquarters, the rest are mainly pirates from Heidao under the command of Guan Canghai, who are more clever and sophisticated than the soldiers, and the effect is naturally much better than that of the soldiers.

Of course, a qualified person in the Ming army is extremely strong.

It's a pity that Li Yuanqing's army has been formed for too short a time, and his talents are limited.

But under Zhang Pan's command, there are a few vigorous people who don't accept it at night, and at first glance, they are fierce people, and at this time, they also obey Li Yuanqing's command.

At this time, the location of Li Yuanqing's third department is in the north of Niangniang Palace, this location is still quite far from the first line of Shenyang and Guangning.

Therefore, the main direction of this intelligence investigation is still the north, east of the Liao River, this area.

Even if the old slave wanted to slaughter the Han people in Liaoxi, I am afraid, he would have to use them as coolies for a period of time first, and transport back the spoils of Guangning first.

After arranging the task, the three of them went to rest.

The conditions in the village are much better than those on the ship, and a fire can be lit, but Li Yuanqing can't sleep.

Li Yuanqing thought about it carefully, and after several arguments and scrutiny, his analysis should not be wrong, but Li Yuanqing always felt that something was revealed, this was an indescribable feeling, just a feeling, but Li Yuanqing could feel the danger in it.

After thinking about it, it was still fruitless, and just as he was about to sleep, Guan Canghai walked in, "My lord." ”

Li Yuanqing sat up with a smile, removed the sheepskin blanket on his body, and said with a smile: "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep yet." ”

Guan Canghai smiled, "It's so comfortable, but I can't sleep." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "It's still the old ancestor who said it well, born in sorrow and died in peace." You and I have to be vigilant at all times. ”

Guan Canghai nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "My lord, I suddenly feel that our fleet is not too reliable to enter the hinterland of the Sancha River. ”

He hurriedly explained carefully, "My lord, although there is a ship that is convenient for transportation, it also restricts our hands and feet. In the event of a war, our army can only choose to retreat into the river, and it is difficult to do anything else. I took a closer look at the area, and it was not very densely populated on either side of the riverbank. My lord, can we go by land, not only can we speed up the foot, but also get more useful information, as far as the fleet is concerned, it is still a night march, as close to the main force as possible, hidden. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded silently and was silent in thought.

The war in western Liaoning is nearing the end, although the fleet is safe, but the speed is too slow, according to this situation, it can catch 50 miles a day, it is already galloping, to rush to the official road from Guangning to Shenyang, at least 4 or 5 days.

But that's four or five days, and a lot of things can happen.

As the ancients said, 'soldiers are noble and fast'.

At this time, Li Yuanqing also discovered the biggest shortcoming of this trip, more than cautious, and not enough pioneering.

Since the Sancha River had been the dividing line between the Ming army and the Later Jin army, the population on both sides of the river was very thin, and it was not impossible to march by land.

As long as the target is found, the fleet can be approached as soon as possible.

"I'll think about it again. It's not early, Canghai, you're tired of the day, rest early. Li Yuanqing smiled softly and patted Guan Canghai's shoulder hard.
