Chapter Seventy-Two: Retaking the Water Village

The silver waves are overflowing, and the sunset is misty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The Tianhe River is like a jade ribbon, floating on the golden carpet of the earth, and like a green jade belt, tightly tied to the giant's robe, in the depths of the cloud-covered Tianhe, in the dense reeds, there is a water village as if naturally generated, and the surrounding flowers and trees are completely integrated.

If it weren't for Xuanyuan Chen's chance to save Peng Yue, the commander of the water division, I'm afraid that in a few days, the black Han army sailor battle flag fluttering on the water village would be replaced by the banner of the Great Qin thief.

As the Great Qin thief Ren Qi judged, after he and Shi Da failed to recruit the Tianhe Water Division, the officers and soldiers of the Water Division would inevitably fluctuate in their hearts, and some of them would inevitably have evil thoughts for the sake of glory and wealth.

However, Peng Yue, the commander of the water division, proposed to go ashore to join the Long Wu army shortly after the departure of the Great Qin thief, which was undoubtedly a very risky order, and instantly pushed the panic in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the water division to a critical point, and Captain Qian seized such an opportunity, taking advantage of the dissatisfaction of most of the officers and soldiers of the water division with Peng Yue's order, and launched a mutiny to seize power with his cronies, thus successfully replacing Peng Yue's leadership position.

Of course, although the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division were dissatisfied with Peng Yue, dissatisfaction did not mean hatred, Peng Yue was loyal and cared for his officers and soldiers on weekdays, so he was very respected.

In order to avoid public anger, after Captain Qian captured Peng Yue, he did not dare to kill him easily, but decided to hand him over to the Great Qin thief, which could be regarded as his change of name.

In this way, as long as Peng Yue did not die in his own hands, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division would not be too disgusted with him.

However, Captain Qian never imagined that not only was the Great Qin Thief fighting the idea of the Tianhe Water Division, but Xuanyuan Chen also had a strong interest in it after learning that there was such a Water Division in Jiannan Dao.

Without other reasons, Xuanyuan Chen must think about how to retreat from Antai City.

Regardless of the success of the operation in Antai City, they will inevitably be pursued by the Great Qin thieves, Xuanyuan Chen and others are cavalry, with the superb riding skills of the soldiers of the Beiliang Army's pro-battalion, it should not be difficult to get rid of the pursuers, but the township soldiers of Li Zhuang are all foot soldiers, once they are exposed to be in a gang with Xuanyuan Chen, then the end will definitely be a dead end.

The Great Qin thieves had thousands of elite cavalry, and the two-legged Lizhuang Township soldiers had no chance of outrunning the cavalry.

Li Zongwang should know this very well, but he is still willing to personally bring people to take risks, this loyalty and courage Xuanyuan Chen must not be disappointed, so he has the responsibility to find a way out for the Li Zhuang township soldiers.

Where is the way out?

In other words, how can the foot soldiers get rid of the cavalry?

Since leaving Li Zhuang, Xuanyuan Chen has been thinking about this question all the way, until he heard the conversation between the Great Qin thief Shi Dakai and Ren Qi in Broken Soul Town, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he vaguely captured the answer.

The Tianhe waterway extends in all directions, including a wharf leading to the west of Antai City, if you can get the response of the Tianhe water division and escape from the waterway, the cavalry of the Great Qin thieves can only look at the river and sigh.

So Xuanyuan Chen decided to follow Shi Dakai, wanting to find out more information about the Tianhe Water Master from his mouth, but he didn't want his body to be exposed, and he was trapped in the Red Clothes Fang, but fortunately, Leng Junao arrived in time and forced back the little guy who was as fast as a ghost, and Xuanyuan Chen was able to get out.

Without further information about the Tianhe Sailor, Xuanyuan Chen could only go to find out in person, but when he was looking for the boat to be launched on the bank of the Tianhe River, he accidentally encountered a weak teenager who was soaked in the water.

And when he rescued the boy, he learned that his name was Peng Zhen, and he was actually the son of Peng Yue, the commander of the Tianhe Water Division.

Xuanyuan Chen also figured out the situation of the Tianhe Water Division from Peng Zhen's mouth, as well as the identity and number of the rebels. When he learned that Peng Yue, the commander of the Water Division, might not be dead, and most of the officers and soldiers of the Water Division were just helpless to coerce, he immediately decided to go to Shuizhai, hoping to find an opportunity to set things right for the Tianhe Water Division.

So, Xuanyuan Chen first got a painting boat that should have been abandoned by a big family, and then dressed himself as a rich son, Li Meier became his maid, and Li Zongwang and the soldiers of the pro-military camp showed themselves as housekeepers and guards.

As for the village soldiers of Li Zhuang, they are all hidden on the shore in case of emergency.

Soon after the painting boat was launched, he encountered a warship of the Tianhe Naval Division, and Peng Zhen, who was eager to save his father, recognized this warship as the flagship of the Tianhe Naval Division at a glance, and also found the rebellious officers and soldiers such as Captain Qian on the ship.

The culprit of the rebellion of the Tianhe Water Division is in front of him, Xuanyuan Chen will certainly not miss such an opportunity, he deliberately let the painting boat and the warship drive side by side in the narrow waterway, and then lure him with Li Meier's beauty, Captain Qian and others were really fooled, and regarded the painting boat as a piece of fat to the mouth, and stopped the warship with the intention of doing evil.

Captain Qian had doubts about an unknown painting boat, but in the end, it was difficult to resist the temptation of the beauty, so that the warship and the painting boat stopped side by side, and the result was naturally self-evident.

The officers and soldiers of the Navy Division have a good ability to eliminate water thieves, but in the face of the soldiers of the Beiliang Army who have experienced a hundred battles and are like wolves and tigers, they are like a group of earth dogs, and they have no strength to fight at all.

After eliminating the rebels such as Captain Qian, Peng Yue, who was rescued, hoped that Li Zongwang could spare more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the Navy Division who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Peng Yue sailed back to Shuizhai, and with his former prestige, as well as the head of Captain Qian and Chen Blind, he regained control of the Tianhe Water Division with almost no effort.

Of course, in order to prevent future troubles, although Peng Yue couldn't bear it in his heart, he still killed all the henchmen of Captain Qian.

The fire that night brought great trauma to Peng Yue, not only his body, but also his heart.

Since serving as the commander of the Tianhe Water Division, Peng Yue did not dare to say that he loved soldiers like sons, but he never scolded any of his officers and soldiers for no reason.

Therefore, when facing the rebellion of Captain Qian and others, he was shocked at the same time, but also felt a deep sadness and pain, he never thought that he would do his best to lead the Tianhe Water Division, in exchange for ruthless betrayal.

At dusk, a bloody purge came to an end.

Peng Yue was holding a bloody waist knife in his hand, and the blood on the waist knife was all his subordinates, just now, he personally executed thirty-seven people.

Li Zongwang saw Peng Yue's tired expression, with sadness and sentimentality in his eyes, and sighed softly: "General Peng, since ancient times, has been a general, treating his subordinates with grace and power, although killing people is not the most desirable move, but it is often the most effective."

Peng Yue smiled sadly, handed the waist knife to the hand of Sun Desheng, the deputy general next to him, with a pale face, and slowly sat down and said: "This general is not strict in governing the army, so he will cause such a disaster, which really makes Old Hero Li laugh."

Li Zongwang shook his head and said seriously: "General Peng's leniency towards his subordinates is the wind of benevolence and righteousness, but unfortunately there are always ungrateful and shameless people in the world, and it is really no wonder that the money thieves and others are making trouble."

Hearing Li Zongwang's relief, the gloomy look on Peng Yue's face dissipated a lot, and after breathing a sigh of relief, there was a faint excitement in his eyes, and he asked, "Old Hero Li, what are your plans to go to Antai City to participate in the gathering of the Great Qin Thieves this time?" Although Li Zongwang has not yet said it explicitly, Peng Yue already believes that the other party is definitely not going to take refuge in the Great Qin thief.

Li Zongwang's face changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "General Peng, I hope you can help the old man!"

Peng Yue stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "As long as you don't violate chivalry and don't lose your benevolence, even if you say it, even if you fight for your life, you will definitely do it for you!"
