Chapter 359: Down the River

However, on this day, Lin Bei returned disappointed.

In the east and north of Xiangyang City, except for a few scattered sergeants, Lin Bei actually didn't even look at a single common people, obviously, the coalition army had moved the common people away, the purpose was to prevent the common people from seeing Lin Bei fishing.

In this case, Lin Bei was also drunk, and the coalition forces had to defend him very strictly.

So on this day, Lin Bei didn't seem to be interested in catching fish, and he caught fish for a day yesterday, so there are a lot fewer fish in Fanjiang today, after all, although Fanjiang is connected to the Yangtze River, it is still not the Yangtze River, and there are not so many big fish swimming from the Yangtze River.

"When this day is caught, the big fish in Fanjiang may become scarce for several years in the future."

For two days in a row, the common people who followed Lin Bei were extremely happy, the lethality of the fish tube was indeed great, and many common people were really not a problem to eat three or four catties of fish meat at a time, this was because they lacked oil and water for a long time.

At the same time, the ship-making was not left behind, and Kong Ming and Xu Shu selected some strong commoners to cut down the bamboo, which was then made into rafts.

If you make a raft alone, it is actually quite fast, because the level of raft production is not high, even a few years old children can also take a hand, the common people eat well, and the enthusiasm for work is high, just yesterday day, nearly a thousand rafts were made, but unfortunately the surrounding bamboo has been cut down, and now the common people need to go farther away to cut bamboo.

In this case, Lin Bei's original decision not to let the common people run around naturally could not be implemented, and the common people had to move, at least to a place with enough trees or bamboo.

On the third day, Lin Bei no longer caught fish, but went down the Fan River and passed by Maicheng first. Later, when we arrived at Chuyang, the wharves of the two cities next to the Fan River became so sparsely populated that there were hardly any boats to be seen.

"It seems that the coalition forces will not take a detour to cross the river from these two cities."

On the fourth day, Lin Bei went up the river and went to Zhancheng, Fangling and Nanxiang. Similarly, these cities next to the Fan River are almost without boats.

"From Nanxiang to Chuyang, it's almost more than 2,000 miles, and there are no ships, could it be that the coalition forces have really given up the pursuit?" Lin Bei was very puzzled, after all, the decisions of the Xiangyang Alliance and the Barbarian Shuai and others were extremely secret, although there were Hidden Dragon Army soldiers lurking in Xiangyang City, this kind of confidential matter would definitely not be able to find out.

Lin Bei couldn't think of a reason, but it was a good thing for him that the coalition forces didn't pursue. Relocating the common people will become more relaxed, and the common people will not suffer too much from traveling.

The situation calmed down so strangely, in addition to Lin Bei knowing that the coalition army was still in Xiangyang City, the movement of the coalition army was confusing, and the coalition army seemed to have divided many people out and rushed to various places, and the specific location was also not explored.

The eighth day that followed. A mighty dragon king ship came from Fanjiang with five big ships, which was a newly made big ship from Wanghai City. After several days of non-stop manufacturing of rafts, the rafts are enough to carry 150,000 people.

"My lord, the ship has been built, shall I leave?"

"How's the coalition moving?" Lin Bei always felt that something was wrong, the coalition army spent so much effort, but they did not pursue. It seems to be a bit anticlimactic, which does not match the style of those candidates that Lin Bei is familiar with.

"It's still unknown, but the Great Dragon King ship came along the river, and it didn't encounter a trace of obstruction along the way."

"If I wait down the river, where is the most likely place to be attacked?" Lin Bei asked.

"Jiang Xia!!" Kong Ming and Pang Tong said in unison.

Lin Bei thought about Jiang Xia's location. Then suddenly, Jiangxia is the interface between the Fan River and the Yangtze River, the two rivers meet, forming a triangle, in that triangle, there are a total of three cities around, namely Jiangxia City, Hanyang City and Shiyang City.

Although the confluence area is wide, if the allied forces set up a strong salvo in the land of the three cities, and when the raft passes by, the strong horses will fire a salvo, and the common people will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"However, Jiangxia is extremely far away from Xiangyang City, although we think that the coalition army will set up an ambush in Jiangxia, but with the movement of the Japanese coalition army in recent times, we feel that it is very impossible,"

Indeed, if the coalition army goes to Jiangxia on a large scale, it will definitely be known by the outposts, but except for the departure of small troops, there is really no so-called large army leaving, and in addition, most of the strong troops are outside the city.

After thinking about it, Lin Bei said categorically: "Prepare for two more days, build some rafts for backup in these two days, and after two days, we will set off down the river, and I will investigate in front." ”

Everyone agreed.

Everyone was busy with the migration, Lin Bei was not idle, these two days, they were all hanging in the Fan River, except for occasionally catching a big fish, they shouted towards Xiangyang City, and after the handsome came out to answer twice, they no longer paid attention to Lin Bei, and Yuan Shao and others did not see.

In this case, Lin Bei had to wonder if Yuan Shao and the others had already arrived in Jiangxia, but even if Yuan Shao and the others had already arrived in Jiangxia, Lin Bei was not afraid at all, he was just worried about the casualties of the common people.

Fast forward as two days passed.

On the third day, as soon as the sun broke, the common people got up, packed their things, boarded the raft, and prepared to leave.

As long as it is a big ship, it is carrying sergeants, and the big ship needs to be in front and behind the fleet to protect the safety and security, and the small boat that the common people take lives in it, and Lin Bei is naturally at the front, the stability of these two days, coupled with the fact that there is no coalition army to chase after it, let the common people spontaneously abide by the rules, and there are officials to maintain it, and it seems to be in order.

When the common people boarded the boat, Manshuai and others looked at this situation with complicated expressions in a high-rise building in Xiangyang City, they were unwilling, but more of them were relieved, because the demon snake was finally leaving, if the demon snake did not leave, their plan to move outside the territory would not be successful, and Manshuai and others could not let Lin Bei know that their hearts were empty.

150,000 commoners and sergeants boarded their boats, and by noon they were all on board, and then they began to descend the river.

The fleet of more than 150,000 people was quite long, almost forty miles from front to end, Lin Bei saw that the fleet finally set off, nodded to Kong Ming and the others, looked back at Xiangyang City, and then dived to the bottom of the river.

He needed to swim to the front and observe the movements on both sides of the Fan River at any time, and if the army obstructed him, Lin Bei would have to disperse those enemy troops.

From the Fan River to the Yangtze River, and then to the East China Sea, all the way down the river, even if it is a raft, the speed is also very fast, and late at night, the fleet has passed the wheat city.

Then, in the afternoon of the next day, the fleet sailed safely through Chuyang again, and by this time, Lin Bei had already arrived in Jiangxia City.

Jiangxia City is the confluence of the Fan River and the Yangtze River, when Lin Bei swam here, he carefully looked around the coast, and also carefully searched the location where the coalition army might set up an ambush, but it was very strange that the coalition army did not have anyone, and the gates of each city were closed, but there were many sergeants waiting for it, but obviously there was no courage to attack.

"Or take this place?" Lin Bei then shook his head.

It's easy to occupy here, but the coalition army is not too far, Changsha City is also nearby, it will definitely attack again, this relocation is best to move in place at one time, just like morale, and then decline, three and exhaustion, if Lin Bei occupies this place soon and is forced to leave, the common people will feel that there is no sense of security with Lin Bei, this is a big taboo.

When the mighty fleet passed through Jiangxia City, Jiangxia City still did not move, Lin Bei and the others sighed and felt that they couldn't guess what the coalition forces were doing, did the coalition really let them go?

And when the coalition army learned that the demon snake's fleet had finally passed Jiangxia, the barbarian and the others breathed a sigh of relief: "The demon snake is gone, and it is time for us to move the common people." ”

Yuan Shao and the others nodded yes.

After the fleet passed through Peng Zecheng, Lin Bei climbed onto a great dragon king ship, Xu Shu Kong Ming Bian Ji were all on this boat, Lin Bei said to them: "When you get here, it can be regarded as completely safe, right?" ”

Xu Shu and the others all nodded, although there are still many big cities along the Yangtze River, but Liu Miao brought a lot of sailors with him when he went to conquer Linbei, so there are obviously not many sailors in Yangzhou, there are Dawei Dragon King ships and big ships to escort them, and there will be almost nothing wrong with the fleet.

"Then I have to go to Wuling County." North Lim Road.

"Wuling County? Why are you going? ”

"Last time I passed by Wuling, I met three people, because they were going to Xiangyang, they were inconvenient to follow, so I asked them to wait in Wuling, and this time I went to pick them up."

"My lord, these three people are very important, right?" Bian Ji asked cautiously.

Lin Bei came to Xiangyang this time, saying that it was to pick up Xu Shu, but Bian Ji believed that Lin Bei was tired of looking at the sea, so he wanted to come out for a walk, but this time he went to Wuling, which was obviously more important.

Lin Bei thought of the protection of the Meng family for more than 400 years, and the innate deficiency of Yue Yue was close to himself, Lin Bei smiled heartily, in addition, Meng Tian's art of war and the drawings of the mechanism of Afang Palace were also important things, so Lin Bei nodded and said, "Well, it is indeed very important." ”

Lin Bei said all this, Bian Ji and the others naturally would not stop it, Bian Ji just advised: "My lord, Wuling is now under the rule of the barbarian army, although my lord is invincible, I still have to be careful." ”

Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "My lord, this time more than 150,000 people moved to Wanghai, but they are all people who want to be adults, and there are many miscellaneous things, please go back as soon as possible, don't stay outside." ”

"Okay, I know" Lin Bei could only nod, and at the same time knew that after looking back at the sea, it would be difficult to go out in the future.

Just as Lin Bei wanted to leave, he saw the flag-bearer on the Dawei Dragon King ship in front waving the flag, the flag meant to let everyone be on guard, Lin Bei suddenly jumped down the river and swam to the front: "He Ming, what's wrong?" ”

He Ming Lin Beiyi on the boat arched his hand: "My lord, the villain passed by here last time and encountered some river bandits, these river bandits are called Jinfan thieves, among which the leader Gan Xingba is extremely good at water kung fu, and the villain is afraid that this person will attack the fleet again, so let everyone be careful." ”

"Gan Ning Gan Xingba?" Lin Bei was stunned at first, and then happy: "This person is here?" ”

"Exactly." He Ming nodded: "Maybe this thief is now in the middle of the river."

And at this time, he really let He Ming say it right (to be continued......
