In fact, no matter what kind of transportation it is, at the beginning, there is still some novelty, and after a long time, you will also feel bored.

Northerners have basically never taken a boat, crossing the Yellow River crossing, and the sailboat is like a ferry, ferrying back and forth between the north and south banks.

During the dry season and the winter season, the boats were connected to each other to form pontoon bridges, which were charged on both sides by the controlling family.

Some of the Zhao family's subordinates actually suffered from seasickness, so they just lay down in the cabin to rest.

Don't look at Huang Chengyan as a celebrity in Jingzhou, because he likes some strange and pornographic skills, he is not treated well by other families.

But the Zhang family in Nanyang also has a person who specializes in mechanics, that is, Zhang Heng of West Ombo.

Therefore, they did not have a prejudice against such a person, but on the contrary, they also gave him a lot of money and gave him many manuscripts of Zhang Heng.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Cai family, who claimed to be the first in Jingzhou, to marry their youngest daughter Cai Qing to Huang Chengyan.

Because, he has a very powerful matchmaker, that is, Zhang Wen, the eldest son-in-law of the Cai family.

As soon as Huang Chengyan got on the ship, he devoted himself to the study of the hull structure.

In this era, there was a big age difference between siblings. Just like the Cai family, Cai Yan's daughter Cai Da is married, and her aunt Cai Qing only became the bride of the Huang family last year.

On the boat, Cai Da often went with Kuai Yu to accompany her little aunt Cai Qing, who was just starting to show her pregnancy.

The Jingzhou fleet is composed of six giant boats and ten warships, the giant boats are dominated by the family, four are the Cai family and the Kuai family, and the remaining two are provided by the Ma family.

The ship, on the other hand, was reversed, with six provided by the merchants led by the Ma family, and four by the small and medium-sized families under the Cai family, which were commanded and trained by Huang Zhong.

During the day, the big ships and the fighting ships used for the escort are all connected by small sampans.

In Zhao Yun's memory, he had never heard that Huang Zhong would actually command a battle on the water, presumably it was a small Shu country, and there was no chance for the sailor to give him a chance to display his talents.

The generals who live along the river are generally considered amphibious.

Of course, in the original trajectory, Jingzhou itself was a piece of fat, and whoever saw it would take a bite, and the water generals, whether Cai Mao or Zhang Yun, were not in this category.

On the other hand, in Eastern Wu, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao and his son are all among the best, among which Gan Xingba is the most conspicuous, and he has the posture of a first-class general.

In the war on land, Zhao Yun barely touched the edge, and the water war was simply a layman.

Chen Zhi grew up by the Rushui since he was a child, and his water nature seems to be good, and the five brothers of Cheng Tian rowed a small sampan and studied behind Huang Zhong, looking like he had already hit the road.

Xu Shugang was studying, looking at Huang Zhong's command, it was said that when he came back at night, he would draw pictures or something by himself, and this kid seemed to be addicted.

As for Zhao Yun himself, he became the shopkeeper, since he didn't understand, he didn't interfere at all, and let Huang Zhong display his talents first, and in the future, when he went to the strange sea, he would also have a place to use.

He looked at the blue sky and white clouds all day long, accompanied by the current, and was usually on the command ship, or found the bamboo and wood slips brought by Cai Mao and them, and read them carefully.

"Commander Huang, those little sailboats look suspicious!" Today, Huang Zhong just came over, and before he could speak, Chen Laosan reported with a solemn expression.

Oh? Zhao Yun looked up, and there were indeed some small sailing ships, which were close to his own fleet.

On the big river, the big ship can indeed occupy a lot of advantages by virtue of its large size, but in terms of maneuverability and flexibility, it can never be compared with the small sailing boat.

The southwest wind was tight, and both his own fleet and the small sailing ships that followed him were full of sails and sailed down the river at a very fast speed.

In Zhao Yun's estimate, there are about thirty kilometers per hour.

"Tell me more about how you found out?" Huang Zhong is not very familiar with water warfare, but he has seen a lot of it in military books.

Scouts on land and reconnaissance on the water are two different fields.

"Commander," Chen Laosan now also learned some of the tone of the troops: "As soon as the boat passed Xiling, these small boats have been around us, we stop them, and we go and they go!" ”

In just one sentence, the information exposed immediately made Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun's expressions change greatly.

If you want to make friends, you have already raised the flag and asked to meet on the ship.

Since he has been following, he is monitoring his own fleet.

"Brother, are there any rebel forces in Jiangxia County?" Zhao Yun had to think about it.

Ordinary families, whether they are from Nanjun or Jiangxia, have a relationship with the family headed by the Cai family, otherwise it would be impossible for the Cai family to cross the border to suppress bandits, so they naturally get help from other families.

Although the Yangzhou family does not treat the Jingzhou family upstream many times, it is impossible to go back to Jingzhou to attack the family fleet in Jingzhou, which is the rhythm of the war between the two states.

This is not a chaotic period at all, there are riots on the border every year, and the Central Plains is still in the hands of the Han Emperor.

Otherwise, a thorn like Xu Xuan would have been clicked off by the big family who couldn't see it, no matter if you Liu Hong or Li Hong sent it, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in which county are all connected to the interests of the local family.

Xu Shu, who was absent-minded on the side, immediately asked Chen Laosan and got the relevant information, frowning.

"In the second year of Jianning, Jiangxia rebelled, but it has long been exterminated, could it be that they are resurrected?" There he was talking to himself.

"What Yuan Zhi said is very true!" Huang Zhong suddenly realized, obviously in terms of intelligence summary, he couldn't compare to the military division-type talent: "Nanjun Jiangxia is dependent on each other, and if you want to rebel here, it is impossible for Nanjun not to get any news." ”

In many cases, barbarians everywhere rebelled because of ethnic discrimination on the part of local officials.

Like Jiang Xiaman, as far as Huang Zhong knows, he is surrounded by Han people on all sides, if he is not forced to do so, how can he dare to rebel blatantly?

The current Jiangxia Taishou, a scholar from Hongdu Sect appointed by the emperor, will never be as resentful as Zhang Zhong, the nephew of the Queen Mother in his hometown of Nanyang.

He said his analysis, there was nothing wrong with Chen Laosan here, and he walked to the side and was still carefully observing those small sailboats.

"Collusion!" Xu Shu was categorical: "And it's a big force colluding with the barbarians!" Just imagine, even if Jiang Xiaman resurrects, they are not complete at all, whether in terms of goods or information. ”

"When I waited for the fleet, it was a super force dispatched, and ordinary families met on the river, and I saw that they kept saying hello to us."

The three of them glanced at each other, and immediately thought of the Zhang family.

Only the Zhang family, headed by Sikong in the court, would have such confidence and not worry about the consequences caused by the disappearance of this fleet.

The most important thing is that the Zhang family has just been in Jiangling, and they strongly oppose the Jingzhou family's participation in maritime trade, which is also the only way for them to get angry and want to save face.

If the fleet is attacked or even annihilated on the way, it means that the Zhang family is right, and it is like this in the river, let alone the sea, which no one is familiar with.

Once they succeeded, the Zhang family's prestige in Jingzhou would reach its peak, and even the family group headed by the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Pang family would not be able to compete with them.

I can't help but say that it is good to have a top strategist on the side, and it will be analyzed in an instant.

"Look, carrier pigeon!" Chen Laosan also ignored his identity and shouted there.

From a small sailboat, a pigeon flies out.

said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, but I saw Huang Zhong pull out an arrow from the quiver, as if he didn't aim at all.

He squinted for a moment, and the arrow flew towards the little black dot, followed by a second arrow.

Before the pigeon could pounce, it fell directly into the water, and the splash was about half a foot high.
