Chapter 245: River Crossing Interlude

He Renlong stared at the military newspaper in his hand, but his heart turned back and forth, but a smile appeared on his face, and his mouth was categorical.

"At this time of life and death, Renlong dares not to die for Yang Xiangxiao! Yang Xiang even though he commanded! ”

Yang Sichang heard He Renlong's answer, a heart finally relaxed, the thieves dug the Yellow River embankment and released the Yellow River water, which can flood the Ming army and the thieves, he judged that the thieves must also be injured, so as long as they send a capable general to the south, not to mention that the victory is nine out of ten, there is also a more than eighty percent chance of winning, and the He Renlong in front of him can take on this task.

He Renlong's statement was sincere, which moved Yang Sichang greatly, and he had been holding this person without letting go, but also to thoroughly observe whether this person was worthy of the big responsibility. Now it seems that I was too worried before, and they all said that adversity is the only way to see the truth, but this person is very righteous!

After King Shen's envoy returned to Lu'an Mansion with the news that Yang Sichang had turned his face, King Shen was at a loss, and it was not surprising that Yang Sichang had turned a blind eye before, but he tore his face like this time, and even threatened to fight the lawsuit to the front of the emperor.

It is unrealistic to hold on to the military power again, and Yang Sichang can do what he says. In desperation, he had no choice but to plan to send troops, this time he was also a ruin, and he would rather give up the base of Lu'an Mansion than hand over the military power lightly, who knows how this troubled world will develop? The more time you hold this military power, the more opportunities you have.

King Shen was extremely resolute, and a fire burned down Lu'an Mansion, burning his anger at Yang Sichang and his jealousy against the brother in the Forbidden City. Of course, both of these raging fires were hidden deep in his heart.

Before leaving, King Shen gave a speech with great emotion, which moved the soldiers to tears. The people were dismissed on the spot, and he promised to return to Lu'an Mansion in the future, rebuild their homes, and then invite the people back one by one!

The army of King Shen of Lu'an Mansion raised the banner and went all the way south, and when Li Zicheng dug up the Yellow River embankment and flooded the city, it was already a matter of reaching the Yellow River.

……

Just when the world was already turned upside down outside, Li Xin had just arrived at Ningwu Pass, which was known as one of the three outer passes, and only the ruins and ruins remained. After Wu Shan captured this pass, he burned it with a fire.

In front of Ningwu Pass is a big river, because the peach blossom flood water is very rising, many places are more than one person deep. Due to their location in the north, most of the people in the Three Guards were landlubbers, and they had to find a shoal to cross the river. Li Xin looked around, and everywhere he saw was bleak and vast, without a trace of life.

It took two full hours for the Sanwei army to cross the river in front of Ningwu Pass. Li Xin pressed at the end of the river crossing procession, urging the war horse to just walk to the center of the river, when he suddenly heard a burst of shouts for help from the upstream.

Li Xin looked at the river, but vaguely saw a figure floating up and down in the waves. On the shore, a few riders chased down the river, and it was clear that the cry for help came from them.

It was too late, but it was fast, and the figures in the water quickly drifted to the place where the Three Guards crossed the river with the turbulent current. By this time the army had all crossed the river and were on the shore awaiting further orders. At present, in addition to Li Xin, the supreme commander of the Three Guards Army, and the battalion officers of the battalions, there are also a few pro-soldiers in the river, seeing that the figures in the river are about to rush downstream from the eyes of everyone, but several battalion officers are all landlubbers, only dry eyes.

There are a few pro-soldiers in the upper reaches who know how to water, and after getting the order, they have plunged into the water to save people, but the water is really turbulent, and the pro-soldiers in the water have failed to catch the figure that floats and sinks with the river several times.

Li Xin could swim, and the water quality was not bad, and when he saw this scene, he no longer hesitated, and immediately threw off his long coat and military uniform, kicked off the cowhide boots on his feet, and jumped into the river from his horse to save people. Out of the chest-deep shallows were more than a man's depth, and he could immediately feel the powerful impact of the current, and struggled to meet the general direction in which the figure was drifting.

After a while, the figure of the ups and downs happened to hit Li Xin, who neither struggled nor moved, and no longer knew whether he was alive or dead, and several of his own soldiers also swam down, escorting Li Xin to the south bank. When he arrived on the shore, Li Xin realized that the person he saved turned out to be a woman with a beautiful face.

Li Xin stretched out his hand to probe his snort, he was already out of breath, but there was still a faint residual temperature on his body, thinking that this woman had fallen into the water not long ago, when there was still salvation, he didn't have time to think about it, so according to common sense, he first confirmed that there was no foreign body in her mouth, and then turned over to control the water from her mouth and nose.

It's a pity that the drowning man hasn't moved yet, and Li Xin doesn't care about whether men and women give or don't kiss, in his subconscious, life is naturally better than a qiē, but he forgot that this is the Ming Dynasty.

The drowning woman's chest was obviously undulating under the rhythmic and vigorous pressure of Li Xin's hands, and wisps of river water flowed out of her mouth again, but there was still no snort, he pinched his nose and blew into his mouth, a few back and forth but still did not reflect, as time passed bit by bit, Li Xin's heart gradually cooled down, but he was still unwilling to give up, doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration in vain.

The battalion officers and pro-soldiers were all stupid by Li Xin's actions, in their eyes, their own commander was absolutely crazy, and he actually did his best to abuse the body of a drowning woman.

With an "oh", the woman suddenly moved, and another big mouthful of water spit out, Li Xin was overjoyed, and finally pulled her back from the death line. Again, she was already breathing evenly, but she hadn't woken up for a while.

The battalion officers and the soldiers were stunned by the miracle in front of them, how could they touch the woman's chest and kiss him back to life? Puzzled, they made all kinds of speculations, could it be that their handsome man was a god descended from the earth, and he had a fairy energy on his body, and he used his immortal energy to enter the woman's mouth to renew his life......

Several riders who chased after him on horseback also witnessed the scene of Li Xinqi's resurrection, but there was absolutely no joy on their faces, and they even wanted to fight desperately. It's just that when he saw that there were many people on the other side, he didn't dare to act rashly.

The last few riders were secretly relieved after confirming that this group of people was the Ming army, and one of the big men who looked like a leader stepped forward and saluted and thanked Li Xin stiffly.

"Thank you for the general's help, dare to ask the general's name!"

Li Xin saw that several people looked unhappy, and he didn't think much about it, thinking that they were just too worried about the drowning woman, so he waved his hand to show that it was not worth mentioning, but who knew that there were pro-soldiers but the fastest.

"The marshal of my family is the chief soldier of the three guards, and Li Xin is also!"

The pro-soldier was a rough man and didn't know how to avoid it, so he called Li Xinqi's name, and immediately someone went up and hugged his head and slapped him, "I'm confused, the name of the handsome man is also what you can say!" ”

The pro-soldier said aggrievedly: "I, didn't I forget!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped again, "This time I see if you forget!" ”

The leader-like man's expression added a little disdain, and with a wave of his hand, a woman got off the horse and carried the unconscious woman onto the horse. Li Xin also wanted to tell them some precautions, but they didn't look back and left, leaving behind a piece of dust.

Only then did Li Xin realize the problem of the other party's attitude, obviously he saved the drowning woman, why did those people think that they were enemies. His own soldiers spat a few mouthfuls of thick phlegm at the fast back to vent their anger.

Tian Fuzhen, who was crowded behind the crowd, also witnessed Li Xin's crazy behavior, and couldn't help but shake his head, but he didn't expect that this person still had the quirk of insulting the female corpse. Then he sympathized with the woman, although she came back from the dead, how could she face the fact that she had lost her virginity when she returned home?

If Li Xin knew that because he saved the life of a drowning woman, the tall image he had just established in Tian Fuzhen's heart would be destroyed in an instant, and he would definitely not be able to cry or laugh.

The rescue was only a small episode on the march of the Three Guards, and in this era of catastrophe, people have become accustomed to all kinds of tragedies, and the miraculous resurrection of a drowning woman has left them with nothing more than a little more to talk about on the long march.

The Three Guards soon crossed the Ningwu Pass, and walked dozens of miles to the south is Fenshui, the road they chose to go south is the road to the north of Wushan, after the sweep of his army, there is no population on the way, thanks to their own conceited supplies, otherwise they can't get some food for military food.

Looking at the ruins that can be seen everywhere, they are filled with corpses that have been dead for many days, and they are already highly decomposed, and the air is faintly wafting with the stench. All the hundred miles are the same scene, even when the Tartars entered the Kou, it was not so tragic. Li Xin sighed that this situation was simply purgatory on earth, and at the same time, he also realized for the first time that for the dying Ming Dynasty, at least for the moment, the scourge of thieves was far better than that of the Tartars in the north.

It is these own people who are also Chinese Han people, who raise butcher knives to their own people, burn, kill and loot all kinds of evil, what bullshit rebel army, if the official army crosses the border like a goose plucking its feathers, it is a thief, and the thief crossing the border is a devil butcher crossing the border Chickens and dogs do not leave an inch of grass and do not grow, and they are thieves who are rare to see in a hundred years.

Because they were ready to attack them unprepared, they kept going south along the Fenshui all the way, and after passing Ninghua, it was still desolate, and there was a tendency for thousands of miles without a rooster crowing. Fortunately, when he was about to arrive in Jingle County, the scout finally came to report.

"Report to the marshal, there is an army stationed in Jingle County ahead!"

Li Xin was relieved to hear that there was an intrusive army stationed there, and the thieves finally did not slaughter and burn all the cities.

"Everyone listen to the order and prepare to attack the city! Take Jingle and go into the city for dinner! ”
