"Turn the sails, turn the sails! Hurry up or you're going to crash! ”

An old boatman shouted loudly to the sailman. It's not okay if it's not loud, the wind on the sea is too strong, and the waves are loud, and if it's late, it will definitely hit the rocks. In coastal waters, there are often many reefs. If the sea level rises at high tide and the reef is hidden underneath, the big ships may be able to barely get by; It was now nearly noon, the tide had receded, and the reef was much closer to the surface. If you don't pay attention, large ships will definitely run aground.

This is not the afterlife, which can use explosives or something to clear the reef. The only way to avoid the reef is to rely on experience passed down from generation to generation. This is where the old shipwright comes in, in addition to determining the course, but also identifying reefs. Zou You watched the old boatman's command carefully, and his heart was ashamed. Although he could determine the route, he could not find these meticulous efforts on the charts. Fortunately, there are a few old shipwrights here, otherwise if he is given command, he will definitely run aground.

"The Holy One is right, good songs are never tired of being sung a hundred times, and good books are never tired of being read a hundred times. Reading is expensive and suspicious, and doubt can be instructive. Reading silently is easy to think, and reading aloud is easy to remember. Reading a good book for the first time is like getting a good friend; Re-reading a good book is like a good one. Everywhere is knowledgeable, and the three of them have my teacher. While seriously studying the command of the old boatman, Zou You thought about the truth he didn't understand before, and suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

After sailing from the port into the Red River, the main power of the new warship changed from sails to manpower rowing, supplemented by sails.

Coincidentally, today's wind direction is actually northwesterly. As long as you pull the sails and go upstream, you don't need to paddle much, you can go upriver like walking on the ground.

Zou You laughed: "Originally, I thought it would take a day to reach Thang Long City, but now it seems that it can be reached in half a day!" ”

Fat Lu didn't know how to operate a boat, and when he heard Zou You say this, his eyes immediately lit up: "Is this true?" ”

When the two of them were excited, the old boatman on the side immediately poured a basin of cold water on them: "The two generals don't know that this Shenglong City is at the confluence of the Red River and the Dun River, and the water is turbulent. At this time, although the current is gentle, it is close to the mouth of the sea. The further you go, the harder it becomes. Fortunately, there are many people on the boat, otherwise the slender man would have to pull the boat in front before he can go up......"

Zou You was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that this was the truth of the gap. Upstream, midstream and downstream, the terrain is high and low, and the water flow is fast. He only saw one aspect, but did not notice the other, which can be said to be a neglect of one and the other. He is not a person who can't pull his head, and he honestly asks the old boatman for advice.

The old boatman also had no scheming, and since this "general" had asked questions, he did not dare not answer. As long as Zou You has any doubts, the old boatman can say that he is ugly. This is the difference between experienced and inexperienced, the old boatman is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, he has been to sea all his life, and he has survived several times, and the accumulated experience is not comparable to Zou You, a rookie?

However, Zou You also learned quickly, and in less than half a day, he took out the goods in the old boatman's stomach.

The trend of the river, as the old boatman said, the higher it goes, the more difficult it becomes. More than 100 people on the ship had to exert all their strength to move several miles with difficulty. With the help of the northwest wind, I am afraid it will be even more difficult if the wind changes direction.

More than 100 people, divided into two groups, took turns to row alternately, and could not stop for a moment. Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, this is an eternal saying.

Fortunately, the trade in Cochin was not very prosperous, otherwise it would have been difficult for the river to be full of boats, and it would have been difficult to move forward "quickly" like this. Fortunately, the riverbed of the Red River is very deep enough to accommodate new warships, otherwise, even the boats would have run aground!

The journey was smooth, and the new warships were moving "with difficulty". According to the plan, it will only take a few more hours for Thang Long City to be in sight. As for the Red River at that time, the current had slowed down, and it was possible to anchor the hull.

The smooth journey was not only the fleet composed of new warships, but also the army that invaded the Central Plains in the north, and did not encounter any obstacles along the way.

Chen Gai, the pioneer officer, rode a tall horse, looked at the scenery that was no different from Jiaozhi with disdain along the way, and said: "There is nothing terrible about Dashun, there is not even a farmer along the way, even if there is a village, it is also sparsely populated. If Your Majesty were bolder, wouldn't all these lands belong to us? ”

The pro-soldier beside him complimented: "The general is right, Dashun is a tiger without minions, we can fight if we want!" ”

Chen Gai laughed: "Well said, after the fight, this tiger still doesn't dare to fight back!" ”

The Jiaozhi soldiers around them all laughed when they heard this, and for a while, the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Chen Gai shook his head happily on the horse, hummed a little song, and suddenly asked, "How long will it take to go to Qinzhou City?" ”

The soldier said: "General, we have just passed the Ruxi Village, in front of which is a land of Pingchuan, just go all the way to the northeast, and it will not take a day to get to the city of Qinzhou." ”

Chen Gai nodded, and suddenly smiled: "After attacking Qinzhou City, what do you want to grab?" ”

"General, the little one just wants to get some gold and silver, and go home to please a mother-in-law......"

The soldier smiled sheepishly.

"Haha, you fool, Dashun is full of gold and silver treasures, and there are women, why bother to ask for it? Wouldn't it be happy to grab a Dashun's mother-in-law and go home, fight as much as you want, and do whatever you want? When the person is old, kick it away, and find another ......" Chen Gai's eyes shone with a lewd light, and he said hehehe.

The soldiers around them all laughed in unison, each understanding what was in their hearts. In fact, who doesn't have such a mind? If it weren't for the temptation of a woman of gold and silver, who would have tied his head to the belt of his trousers and done such a murderous business? "As long as the general is here, we will definitely be able to grab the gold and silver mountains!" A cadre of soldiers shouted, and immediately raised their morale.

Chen Gai is very satisfied with such morale, in his opinion, Jiaozhi is a calculating or unintentional, and it is a sure thing to break through Qinzhou City. With such morale and such elite soldiers, how can Dashun resist the soldiers of Jiaozhi?

In the distance, a fast horse galloped towards him, and Chen Gai looked at it and saw that it was a scout.

The scout rode his horse and galloped closer, turned over and dismounted, and said, "General, there is no trace of the enemy in front!" ”

Chen Gai sneered: "Explore again!" He didn't believe that Dashun's reaction would be so slow, even if he led his troops to Dashun four years ago, there was also a beacon warning. Now there is no resistance, this is not normal at all!

"Order!" The scout got on his horse again and galloped away.

"What tricks does Dashun want to play?" Chen Gai secretly pondered. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
