Jiang Qin handed the telescope to Zhou Taidao on the side: "Youping, this clairvoyance is really useful, in such weather, you can see a few miles away, which enemy can escape from our palms in the future?" ”

Zhou Tai looked at the situation on Junshan Island with a telescope, and said to Jiang Qin: "Yes, Heng Gongzi is really a god and a man, and I don't know how this clairvoyant was made, how can he see so far?" ”

This telescope Wang Heng has been issued to officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel, one pair per person, as a top-secret material, it is absolutely not allowed to leak out, and someone must be sent to check it once a month to see if it is lost, and it is no wonder that Wang Heng is so nervous, such a weapon of war is better in his own hands.

Although its official name is telescope, officers are accustomed to calling it clairvoyance, because it is too similar to the legendary clairvoyant, and the name clairvoyant is more vivid and more imposing.

Today, the weather in Dongting Lake is the same as many times, drizzling and misty, and the visibility is not good, but with this clairvoyance, you can still see Junshan Island from a few miles away, which is really a treasure!

Seeing that there would be about a while before he could reach Junshan Island, Zhou Tai returned the telescope to Jiang Qin, took out the hundred-for-one steel knife, and played with a few knives and said: "Brother Jiang, that Shen Yu'er is mine, you are not allowed to rob me!" I haven't met a few opponents of enough weight these days, I hope that Shen Yu'er is hard enough! ”

Jiang Qin smiled: "Youping, even if I rob it, I have to rob you, which time didn't you rush first?" But you still have to be careful today, it is said that this Shen Yuer is very fierce. ”

Zhou Tai laughed and said, "I'm afraid he's not fierce!" ”

While the two were talking, the fleet had already sailed close to Junshan Island, and the bandits on Junshan Island discovered the fleet of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, shouted anxiously, and ran on the island, some went to report to the bandit leader, some went to drive their boats moored on the shore, and some went to get their weapons and prepare to resist, but their actions were very scattered, and they seemed to lack organization and efficiency.

A few fighting ships at the head of Jiang Qin's fleet rushed into the group of water bandits' ships like giant beasts, easily sinking several water bandits' ships, and the rest of the water bandit ships had just escaped the collision of the fighting ships, and the sterns behind the fighting ships rushed up again.

The resistance of the bandit ships has been disintegrated before it is fully organized, most of their ships have been knocked over, the bandits have fallen into the water screaming, and the bandits on the ships that have not been knocked over have also been subjected to intensive crossbow arrows, the bandits only have a soft bow at most, and there is not much bow power at all in such a light rain, how can they be the opponents of the water army? One by one, the bandits were shot like hedgehogs.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the sailors knelt on the deck in rows and surrendered to the Jingzhou naval army.

Some of the Jingzhou naval warships stayed to clean up the battlefield on the water, and the other ships docked, Zhou Tai did not wait for the gangplank to be set up, a tiger roared, jumped ashore on the head, and followed the fleeing sailors to their lair, and the other sailors also got off the boat and followed behind Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai was so brave, he danced with a knife, the bandits were invincible, no one was his general, and soon a piece fell under his knife.

Zhou Tai picked a place with a lot of people to rush, and when he saw that the water bandits in which place showed signs of gathering to resist, he rushed over to disperse the crowd, so that the water bandits could not organize effective resistance, and as there were more and more Jingzhou water troops ashore, the water bandits quickly collapsed.

Zhou Tai hadn't found anyone who looked like a leader, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, he grabbed a fleeing water bandit and asked, "Where is Shen Yu'er?" ”

The water bandit was already frightened when he saw the fierce and vicious Zhou Tai, he just saw with his own eyes that he didn't know how many accomplices were cut in two by Zhou Tai, he hurriedly pointed to a Taoist temple in the center of the island and said, "Shen Yu'er lives there." ”

Zhou Tai threw the water bandit in his hand when he heard this, and rushed to the Taoist temple, Junshan Island is quite large, and the place where he is is still hundreds of steps away from the Taoist temple, but Zhou Tai's feet are so fast, but in a moment, he rushed to the Taoist temple, kicked open the door of the Taoist temple, danced the knife into a knife flower to protect his body, and rushed in.

Zhou Tai shouted loudly: "Where is Shen Yu'er? Come out and fight me! ”

Some of the bandits didn't know what was going on, and wanted to step forward to stop Zhou Tai, but they were stabbed to the ground by Zhou Tai, and just as Zhou Tai chopped the next bandit with a knife, the thin bandit was terrified, and knelt on the ground with a "plop" and shouted for mercy.

Zhou Tai's knife stopped on the top of the water bandit's head, he saw a puddle of water under the water bandit, it turned out that the water bandit was already scared to pee, Zhou Tai frowned and said, "Where is Shen Yu'er?" ”

The water bandit trembled and pointed behind him and said, "Leader Shen, no, Shen Yu'er went out of the back door and ran over there." ”

Zhou Tai looked in the direction pointed by the bandits, and saw that there was indeed a back door open, and when he looked out of the door, a group of people ran to the south like lost dogs.

Zhou Tai immediately followed.

It turned out that Shen Yu'er was very cunning, he had heard during this time that the Jingzhou Navy had come to two evil gods, and they had been clearing the water bandits in Dongting Lake.

Shen Yu'er knows his own affairs, although his martial arts are also known as strong, and the minions under his hands are also the most in Dongting Lake, but the government is really moving, he is not an opponent at all, so he has long thought about escaping, but the property he has grabbed over the years is hidden in the old Junguan on Junshan Island, he is reluctant to give up, he is packing up his belongings, preparing to escape with a group of henchmen in the past few days, I didn't expect the Jingzhou Navy to kill so quickly.

Today, Shen Yu'er heard the shouts of the bandits, and when he saw a fleet coming, he immediately realized that his good days were over, and he ran back to his room with extraordinary agility, picked up a package that had been prepared a long time ago, and greeted a few henchmen and bandits and ran to the south of Junshan Island, where there was a fast boat that he had prepared a long time ago.

Zhou Tai's feet were very fast, and he was about to catch up with Shen Yu'er, several of Shen Yu'er's henchmen turned around and rushed to Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai took care of these people in a few moves, and saw that Shen Yu'er and the others had already gotten on the boat, untied the cable, and began to row desperately.

Zhou Tai rushed to the shore, it was impossible to jump on Shen Yu'er's boat, he hurriedly beckoned the sailors to drive a boat over, the sailors just scattered all the boats, ready to surround the entire island, and did not let the sailors escape, seeing Zhou Tai beckoning, a ship drove over, carrying Zhou Tai, chasing Shen Yu'er's boat.

Shen Yu'er's boat had already rowed hundreds of steps, and when he saw Zhou Tai getting on the boat and chasing after him, he said to his opponent in a hurry: "Row quickly, row quickly!" ”

Saying that, Shen Yu'er himself also joined the rowing ranks, and at such a life-and-death juncture, he couldn't care about the boss's style, and their boat speed increased significantly.

However, no matter how fast Shen Yu'er's ship is, it is not as fast as the standard ship of the Jingzhou Navy Army, this kind of ship is originally designed for water warfare, and it is already the fastest in the world in terms of speed, so the distance between the two ships is still a little closer.

Shen Yu'er kept looking back, and when he saw the two boats approaching, he shouted in despair: "Row quickly!" ”

He and his men rowed the oars as fast as they could, but Zhou Tai's boat was getting closer and closer.

When Shen Yu'er turned back for the last time, he saw a scene that made him frightened, and it was also the last scene he saw in this world, only to see Zhou Tai jump up from his boat and jump towards Shen Yu'er's boat, he held a knife in both hands, raised it above his head, and slashed at the top of Shen Yu'er's head.

Shen Yu'er's big head flew up in the air, blood spurted out of his neck like a fountain, and his body fell to the plank.

Zhou Taitan grabbed Shen Yu'er's head with his left hand, and his body fell on Shen Yu'er's boat, and shouted: "Don't surrender yet?" ”

Seeing that Shen Yu'er was beheaded by Zhou Tai, the bandits on the boat trembled one by one, knelt on the bow of the boat, and surrendered.

Shen Yu'er's death means that the bandits on Junshan Island have been completely wiped out, more than 200 of the more than 500 bandits have been killed, and the remaining nearly 300 people have been captured, and none of them escaped.

The Jingzhou Navy thoroughly searched the entire Junshan Island, and they rescued dozens of young women from the Taoist temple, all of whom were quite attractive, and the Jingzhou Navy will send them back to their homes one by one.

In addition, millions of coins and a large number of gold and silver treasures were also found from the Taoist temple, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai sealed them all in boxes and handed them over to the Jingzhou treasury.

On the way back to the camp of the water army, Zhou Tai was still complaining to Jiang Qin: "This Shen Yu'er is also in vain, and he didn't even catch me with a knife." ”

Jiang Qin is not a martial arts idiot like Zhou Tai, he wishes that the weaker the opponent, the better, he said diligently: "This time I exterminated this group of water bandits, the harvest is not small, you and my brother can be regarded as a great achievement!" ”

Zhou Tai nodded, and he said to Jiang Qin again: "Brother Jiang, I think that a water village can also be built on this Junshan Island, and hundreds of water troops can be stationed here, so that the waters of Dongting Lake can be shocked and no longer breed water bandits." ”

Jiang Qin nodded and said: "This is a good idea, Junshan Island is indeed a good place to establish a water village and station a water army, after we go back, we will propose it to Cai Dudu." ”

After exterminating the Shen Yuer bandits, the remaining bandits in Dongting Lake either surrendered when they heard the wind, or fled away, for a while, the waters of Dongting Lake were much more peaceful, and Cai Mao also accepted Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's construction, and established a water village on Junshan Island, stationed hundreds of water troops, and sat in Dongting Lake.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai then went to other waters to clear out the water bandits, and the water surface in Jingzhou became more and more peaceful.

Wang Heng was also overjoyed after hearing about the achievements of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in suppressing bandits, these two people were indeed natural generals of the navy, and with the two of them, the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou navy would not have to worry.

**********

In June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Wang Rong is from Langya, not very adapted to the summer heat of Hanshou, most of the time he stays in the study, because there is always ice in the mezzanine of this room, which can make him feel comfortable and cool.

On this day, Wang Rong was reading the official document in the study, but someone came to report, Langya's family sent someone to come, and he immediately let someone into the study.

The person who came was a young clansman from Langya's family, named Wang Qian, who was Wang Ei's nephew according to his seniority, and he saluted Wang Ei as soon as he entered, and then knelt opposite Wang Ei.

Wang Rong asked, "Is there something going on at home?" ”

Wang Qian then talked about the reason for his visit this time, it turned out that just a few days ago, Zhuge Jue, the head of the Zhuge family, a friend of the Wang family, died, and they reported the funeral to the Wang family, and Wang Rong, the younger brother of Wang Rong, sent Wang Qian to report to Wang Rong.

When Wang Rong heard the news, he was like a thunderbolt, and after a long time, he cried loudly: "Jungong, why did you leave so early? ”

Wang Ei and Zhuge Jue are of the same age, they have been good friends since childhood, and when they grow up, they are also like-minded and have become close friends, Zhuge Jue has always been in good health, and he is not the kind of weak scholar who is sick all day long, Wang Ei also visited Zhuge Jue before coming to Jingzhou, Zhuge Jue did not have any signs of illness, and his death was indeed a little sudden this time.

Wang Rong cried: "I wrote a letter in March, and Jun Gong replied that he was in good health and asked me not to read it, so why did I leave?" ”

Wang Qian said: "Mr. Jungong died of a sudden illness, and I ask my father to mourn." ”

Wang Rong wept for a long time, Zheng Ning, Wang Heng, Wang Qiang, Wang Jing and others got the news and hurriedly came to comfort Wang Rong.

Wang Heng knew that Zhuge Liang was Zhuge Liang's father, but he only knew that the history books recorded that Liang's father died early, but he didn't know when Zhuge died now, and now he knew that it was the fourth year of Zhongping, thinking that Zhuge Liang was only six or seven years old now, Wang Heng couldn't help but sigh and sigh.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Wang Rong gradually restrained his sorrow and said: "Poor Jungong still has five children, all of whom are minors, how is this good? ”

Zheng Ning said: "Jungong also has a brother, and he will be able to take good care of his children." ”

Zheng Ning is talking about Zhuge Xuan's younger brother Zhuge Xuan, in this era, the relationship between uncle and nephew is very close, nephew can regard uncle as father, if the father dies, uncle will have to take responsibility for raising nephew, no different from his own son.

The Zhuge family is also a big family in Langya Yangdu, and they have quite a lot of industry, and Zhuge Xuan is not embarrassed to raise five nephews and nieces.

Wang Rong nodded, and then said: "Jun Gong died early, I should go to mourn filial piety in person, how can I have official business and not be free, so what can I do?" ”

Wang Rong is the assassin of a state, and if there is no imperial order, he cannot leave the place of office without authorization, so it is impossible for him to go to Langya to pay his filial piety in person.

As soon as he said this, he thought that he couldn't go to see his best friend on the last journey, and Wang Rong's tears were about to come down again.

Wang Heng hurriedly said to his father: "Father, the child can go back to Langya on behalf of his father to pay tribute to his filial piety, please don't worry about his father." ”

Wang Heng looked at Wang Heng, the son in front of him was not much shorter than himself, as if he was an adult, and he had been in Jingzhou for more than a year, almost all adult things had been done, even on the battlefield, and he went to Lujiang in person last month to subdue a group of bandits.

Wang Rong nodded and said, "That's fine, without further ado, you will set off for Langya today!" ”

It is indeed without further ado, now it is June, there is no ice coffin in this era, although the weather in Langya is not as hot as in Wuling, Zhuge family must also have ice, you can save the body, but Zhuge Jue's body can not stop for a long time, if you want to hang filial piety, you must set off now.

Zheng Ning felt sorry for her son, but she also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so she could only say to her son: "Remember to bring more guards!" ”

Wang Heng nodded and said, "The child can save it." ”

Wang Yi said to Wang Qian again: "Zhengyuan, you have to work hard again." ”

Wang Qian had just arrived from Langya on a fast horse, and he had been running on the road for four days, and now he had to rush back to Langya non-stop, which was really hard. However, Wang Qian saluted Wang Rong and said, "Father, I'm not hard!" ”

Wang Heng immediately asked people to help him pack his luggage, and asked people to call Deng Zhan, Yao Gang and others, and asked them to accompany him to Langya.

While packing up his things, Wang Heng also asked Han Da to inform Chen Shu and let Chen Shu send someone to go first, and arrange food and lodging for Wang Heng and his party in advance along the way, as well as the replacement of horses, so as to save time to the greatest extent. At the same time, this little time can also allow Wang Qian to seize the time to rest for a while.

After packing up the luggage, Wang Heng, Wang Qian, Deng Zhan, Yao Gang and a group of more than ten people went on the road, and now Wang Heng's martial arts have basically been taught by Huang Zhong, and the rest is just fire, so he can cultivate by himself, and he doesn't need Huang Zhong to stay by his side at all times.

Of course, this time Wang Heng did not forget to go to Hanshou Academy and tell Cai Yan goodbye, but Cai Yan told him that if there is something like last time and say goodbye without saying goodbye next time, he will ignore him again.

Cai Yong was very interested, he saw Wang Heng coming, and immediately rushed out again, leaving a pair of children in the hall.

Cai Yan saw Wang Heng wearing a riding uniform, and she asked, "Is this where you are going?" ”

Wang Heng told her that she was going to Langya to hang filial piety, Cai Yan knew that hanging filial piety was a big deal, so she didn't stay with Wang Heng anymore, urging him to go on the road, she asked Wang Heng to be careful all the way, Wang Heng nodded and agreed.

Subsequently, Wang Heng went to say goodbye to Zheng Xuan, when Zheng Xuan heard that Zhuge Jue had passed away, he was also embarrassed, he and Zhuge Jue also had a good relationship, but he didn't expect that he had only been in Jingzhou for more than a year, and it was separated by yin and yang.

Zheng Xuan immediately called his son Zheng Yi and asked him to go to Langya with Wang Heng to pay tribute to Zhuge Jue, Zheng Yi was also very simple, agreed, changed his clothes, took simple luggage, and set off with Wang Heng.
