At first, Li Guo didn't care about the Ming army that followed behind his buttocks. But the Ming army was annoying after all, so three days ago, Li Guo led the cavalry to kill the Ming army. But far away, before Li Guo's men and horses could contact the Ming army, the Ming army quickly fled and disappeared again.

Whether it was good to run, Li Guo stayed near Huaiqing for five days with peace of mind. However, Li Guo was very disappointed, and when there was really no news of Li Zicheng, he set off south.

Li's direction in the past was Meng Jindu, which was the same as the judgment of Tian Jingxian, the prefect of Huaiqing.

Mengjindu is a large ferry port, and the location of the ferry port is not fixed. In the high and dry seasons of the Yellow River, the location of the ferry is different because of the silt, and you will understand if you think about it. At this time, although it has not yet reached the peak season, the water potential in the upper reaches suddenly soars, and the water of the Yellow River rolls down with sediment.

In China, the Yellow River is the mother river, and its rushing water is terrifying. Although the Yellow River is not the largest river in China and is not as big as the Yangtze River, no one dares not to respect the momentum of the Yellow River. Even a generation of great men only swam the Yangtze River, but never crossed the Yellow River.

Therefore, if Li Guo wanted to cross the Yellow River, he could only go to Mengjindu. In normal times, more than 300 people and more than 600 horses are not a small number, and only Mengjindu can carry so many people across the Yellow River together.

Li Guo rushed to Mengjindu with his people and occupied the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River very lightly.

"Master Tiger, do you really plan to cross the river directly from here?" Nie Xin asked Li Guo.

"What do you say?" Li Guo actually had a plan.

"No." Nie Xin shook his head, looked at Li Guo and said, "Reaching the other side of the Yellow River head-on is a bit too far-fetched. ”

"Hmm. Tell me about it. Li Guo nodded, thinking. Good military advisor, I thought of it with myself.

"First of all. On the other side of the river is Mengjin Pass, also known as Heyang Pass. It is one of the eight levels to protect Luoyang. Since ancient times, this place has been a strategic place for soldiers to fight, so it is heavily defended and not easy to attack. If my army is overwhelmed, naturally I don't have to be afraid of him, but now I only have a few hundred people lightly armed, and I am afraid that it will be a great loss to capture Mengjin Pass. Nie Xin said.

"Makes sense, you go on." Li Guo agreed. That's what he thinks too.

"In addition, I have already sent a scout to investigate, a few days ago in Huaiqing Mansion, the Ming army that has been following us has crossed the Yellow River." Nie Xin also attaches great importance to intelligence.

"Oh? What does this Ming army mean? From Huaiqing Mansion all the way to here? Li asked.

"I have already found out clearly, this Ming army is the person of Tian Jingxian, the prefect of Huaiqing, and the Tianjiazhuang we attacked in Huaiqing Mansion is his." Nie Xin replied.

"So that's the case, it seems that he wants revenge, no wonder he has been following us." Li Guo understood.

According to the spies, Tian Jingxian took people across the river. There are enough boats on the north shore to cross the river, and there is a lot of work to be done. Nie Xin squinted.

"What do you mean?" Li Guo smiled, he understood Nie Xin's words.

Nie Xin also smiled: "What I mean is that the ship is in our hands." Do we still have to force our way through Mengjin Pass? Since there is an ambush on the other side of the river, let's just not go! ”

Li Guo laughed, "Not bad." The Yellow River is so long, where can't it go ashore? ”

Thereupon. Rested for the night, early the next morning. Li Guo took the men and horses off the shore and boarded the ship.

Hearing that Li Guo had arrived in Mengjindu, Tian Jingxian couldn't sleep. Not only did he not sleep, but he also sent people day and night to monitor Li Guo's movements on the other side of the river.

Early this morning, seeing Li Guo and others on the boat, Tian Jingxian couldn't help but be overjoyed, grandma's, Li Guo, come over quickly, I have to let you die in my hands today. Tian Jingxian had already contacted the Mengjin guards and aimed the cannons at the ferry.

However, watching Li Guo's boat sail to the middle of the Yellow River, it sailed downstream.

Tian Jingxian was suddenly shocked, it's bad, this Li Guo is too cunning, he wants to run!

So, Tian Jingxian gave a loud order, "Open the cannon!" Hurry up! ”

"This." The gunner who fired the cannon was embarrassed for a while, and bowed his hand to Tian Jingxian, "My lord, although our cannon is a red-coated cannon, the target is too far away to hit the other party!" ”

Tian Jingxian slapped the gunner, "Open the cannon and kill Li Guo!" Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you! ”

Seeing this situation, the guards of Mengjin Pass were very unhappy, and it depended on the owner to beat the dog! The one who was dangling behind Tian Jingxian in the early morning was already impatient, if it weren't for the fact that he was Tian Guifei's relative, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.

"Fire! It doesn't matter if he hits or not, he has done our best! General Meng Jin said.

So, the cannon of Mengjin Pass rang out, and the cannonball flew towards the river with a whizz, and it was still far away from Li Guo's boat, and the cannonball fell into the water, splashing one column after another, which did not pose the slightest threat to Li Guo.

But as it happened, the chamber of a cannon was filled with too much gunpowder, and with a bang, the barrel of the cannon was blown up.

And that shell flew extremely far, boom! Hit a boat next to Li Guozao's boat.

The ship was not very large, but it also carried seven or eight people and a dozen horses. The cannonball hit the ship in two at once, and the men and horses on board fell into the water.

Li Guo and the rest of the people on the boat hurried to rescue the brothers who had fallen into the water, but the river was fierce, and some of the brothers had already been swept away.

"Daddy Li! Grunt! Save me!. ”

Li Guo followed the voice and saw that it was Lin Dan Khan's son Zabu. Fortunately, Xiao Zabu drifted downstream with Li Guo's boat, not far away.

Li Guo originally loved his soldiers like a child. Especially to Zab, as if he were his own son. Xiao Zabu has great respect for Li Guo, as if he were his biological father, of course Li Guo wants to save him.

However, the Yellow River was turbulent, and Zabu's small body was undulating on the surface of the water, and he couldn't see it.

Now it's too late to let others save him, Li Guo was in a hurry, pulled the railing of the boat, leaned his body out of the boat, put his hand far away, and suddenly grabbed Zabu's arm.

Nie Xin, who was on the same boat, was startled when he saw Li Guo doing such a dangerous move, and hurriedly pounced, wanting to grab Li Guo's body.

But then, the unexpected happened.

The railing of the boat was in disrepair, and Li Guo used it with great force, only to hear a click, Li Guo actually pulled the railing of the boat off, and Li Guo fell into the Yellow River together with Zabu, who had just been pulled out of the water.

Nie Xin was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, his face was like a human color, and his voice was hoarse, "Tiger Master!" Fast! Save the tiger! ”

All of a sudden, there was chaos, and the soldiers were yelling.

However, the water potential of the Yellow River was too great, and Li Guo and Zabu showed their heads on the surface of the river a few times, and then they were carried by the rolling Yellow River without a trace.

Nie Xin was so frightened that he trembled like chaff, and ordered all the ships to carefully look for Li Guo's shadow.

But the Yellow River is vast, and there is no trace of Li Guo anymore.

Nie Xin cried loudly, and all the people felt as if the sky had fallen, and the whole river was crying.

I have been looking for a long time along the Yellow River, but there is no shadow of Li Guo.

Nie Xin spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. (To be continued......)
