Chapter 398: The Yangtze River is attacked
Liu Mang quickly said goodbye to Liu Qi in Xinye and headed towards Xiangyang. On the way, Liu Qi originally planned to send some soldiers and horses to Liu Mang to escort him, but Liu Mang refused, because Liu Mang had no extra war horses under his command, and what they needed was to reach Xiangyang City quickly.
"Lord, this Liu Qi you?!" Leaving Xinye, the old poison on the side Jia Xu opened his mouth and asked, in Jia Xu's opinion, investing in this Liu Qi is completely a mistake, if in the peaceful and prosperous world, people like Liu Qi can make friends, because he values righteousness, and he is honest and honest, he will not calculate you, it is best to be a friend, but this is a troubled time, such a person is completely eliminated by the times, there is no room for being devoured, if Liu Qi is smart enough, he should have looked for the support of the Huang family or the Kuai family or even the Pang family, Instead of being blackened to Xinye, although he avoided the direct persecution of the Cai family, Liu Qi was also far away from the center of power.
Helping Liu Qi is equivalent to being an enemy of the Cai family, such a person is worth accepting from Liu Mang. Just because of a new wild city, and the grain and grass of ten thousand stones?
"Wen He, Wen He, sometimes this choice of allies is not only subjectively controlled by us, but also beyond our control!" Liu Mang accepted Liu Qi, not to plot Xinye, but for his trip to Jingzhou, Liu Mang got the information that Pang Tong united the Cai family, the Huang family and the Pang family were facing themselves, Liu Mang got the Huang family and the Pang family It's okay to say that the Huang family lost Jiangxia because of his Lu Bujun, although Liu Biao gave Changsha as compensation, but Changsha is so close to the barbarian land, how can it be rich in Jiangxia with the mainstream of the Yangtze River! Just the back and forth taxes can make the Huang family flow oil, and Liu Mang once arrested Huang Jie, in order to subdue Huang Zhong's heart, it is not less hard for Huang Jie, if Huang Zhu can be relieved, then Liu Mang is really impressed by Huang Jie! This Pang family was originally Pang Tong's family, and Pang Tong and Liu Mang were opposed, so the Pang family naturally would not stand by Liu Mang's side.
But this Cai family Liu Mang really doesn't know where he offended him. This Cai Mao has repeatedly made stumbling blocks, Liu Mang sent the envoy from Jingzhou, but most of the reason is to be counted on the head of the Cai family, the Cai family is responsible for the defense of Xiangyang City, and is also responsible for the safety of the post station, if there is no Cai Mao's consent, is the real messenger so easy to kill, you must know that there are dozens of Liu Mangjun sergeants around the envoy. But all but one of these sergeants who returned the head of the messenger was killed, and this kind of fighting of tens or hundreds of weapons, could the movement be small! So this Cai Mao is deliberate.
Liu Mang didn't know where he had offended the Cai family, but since the Cai family was already his enemy, Liu Mang didn't need to think much about it. You just need to know who the enemy is, and the enemy of the enemy is your friend, what the Cai family is afraid of is nothing more than Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, the Cai family makes Liu Mang uncomfortable, and Liu Mang will naturally not let the Cai family go any better.
And there is another advantage to accepting Liu Qi and Liu Mang, that is, Baima Congyi, who has been heading towards Nanyang, really has a haven for outpost warfare, although Baima Congyi has amazing horsepower. But you can't keep running, you always need a place to rest, Yiyang Zaoyang is too far away, and Xinye is really close to Nanyang, and the grain and grass to Baima Congyi have also been solved, although Liu Qi can't mobilize grain and grass, but it is still okay to transfer a little from his five thousand soldiers and horses to Baima Congyi.
Therefore, Liu Qi's teammate was not chosen by Liu Mang, but passively selected. The Cai family now makes it clear that they can't get along with Liu Mang, and Liu Mang can only passively choose Liu Qi as an ally.
The gallop of the war horse quickly headed towards the river, and from then on the river could be crossed towards Xiangyang.
Liu Mang refused Liu Qi's escort, but he did not refuse to get on the warship.
On both sides of the Yangtze River, with trees and trees, the current Eastern Han Dynasty sister is not the kind of later generations who have built various dams and nearby industrial areas, making the river no longer the color it should have. It has not been polluted by industry, so the current water of the Yangtze River is crystal clear in some places, and the sound of the river is simply fascinating.
I can't help but sigh at the masterpiece of nature, this is a mother river.
"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes.
Success or failure turns empty.
Aoyama is still there. Several degrees of sunset red.
On the Baiyuqiao River, it is customary to see the autumn moon and spring breeze.
A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet.
How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. "No wonder the ancient literati can make such poetic verses about the water of the Yangtze River, that is, because the Yangtze River is so beautiful, and the virtues make it difficult to extricate themselves. Liu Mang couldn't help but sing Yang Shen's Linjiang Immortal.
"Good words, good words! I didn't expect the lord to be able to make such a poem! Jia Xu applauded, his first two sentences can still be listened to and the last two sentences really made Liu Mang roll his eyes, what is called the lord can also make such a poem, this is "chiluo" naked look down on, although this poem is not written by Liu Mang, but the owner of this poem can also be a person more than a thousand years later, what's wrong with plagiarism, can it be called stealing!
Liu Mang is white, Jia Xu also seems to know that he said the wrong thing, but it is inevitable, because this poem is obviously not like Liu Mang made by a person like Liu Mang, although Jia Xu is not good at making poems, but he can read the artistic conception in the poems, the author of such a poem must be a person who has seen through the red dust or has experienced the ups and downs of life for decades, is a kind of emotion and admiration for his decades of experience, not Liu Mang, who is only in his twenties, should have.
Jia Xu was right, the owner of this poem, Yang Shen, is really the kind of person who sees through the success or failure of right and wrong, the person who was the three yuan in the company back then, the person who dominated the league back then, because he offended Shizong Zhu Houxi, Yang Sheng'an was assigned to Yunnan to fill the army. He was wearing shackles when he was escorted by a sergeant to Jiangling, Hubei. It just so happened that a fisherman and a chaiman were cooking fish and drinking wine by the river, talking and laughing. Yang Sheng'an was suddenly very emotional, so he asked the sergeant to find a pen and paper and wrote this "Linjiang Immortal".
Liu Mang is too lazy to discuss this poem with Jia Xu, and if he continues to talk about it, Liu Mang will really be exposed.
Jia Xu will no longer poke Liu Mang's lameness, after all, people who tear other people's cowhides are always unpopular, Liu Mang and they went down the river from Xinye to Xiangyang, and the degree is also extremely fast, and soon they can no longer see the direction of Xinye City in the light of half a day, although the nine bends and eighteen bends are talking about the Yellow River, but the Yangtze River is also tortuous.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, there is a fork ahead! Do we take the official road or Luokoudu now? The boatman on the side asked Liu Mang.
"Luokoudu? Official way?! "Liu Mang doesn't know much about the waterways in Jingzhou. There are nine twists and eighteen bends on this waterway, and sometimes there are more than a dozen forks in the delta on a branch.
"This Luokou ferry is a small road is a tributary, and the official road is the main stream of the Yangtze River with passing ships!" The boatman explained.
"So which one is a little faster?!" Liu Mang continued to ask What he needed was to arrive in Xiangyang quickly, even if the negotiation from Xiangyang was smooth, it would take half a month for those military rations to be transported to Yangzhou, so Liu Mang couldn't delay for a moment.
"Go to Luokou Ferry faster!" The boatman replied.
"Then let's go to Luokoudu!" Liu Mang chose Luokou Ferry without hesitation, and there are really a lot of boats coming and going on the mainstream road. This Jingzhou and other businessmen are also very good.
Liu Mang's warship soon began to turn its bow and sailed in the direction of Luokoudu.
Jia Xu's eyes also scanned the river, and suddenly his eyes glanced at the boat behind him twice, and his intuition told him that he seemed to have seen this boat, Jia Xu thought suspiciously, walked in front of Liu Mang, pointed to a small sailboat behind him, and said to Liu Mang, "Lord." That small boat seems to have been following us" before it was not visible above the main stream of the Yangtze River, because there were many ships at that time, but now it is clear that there is such a small boat behind Liu Mangjun's boat.
"When was it behind us?!" Liu Mang also followed Jia Xu's direction and looked at the small boat.
"Send someone to investigate!" Liu Mang frowned, he was cautious, Liu Mang had few people, so he was even more cautious.
"Got it!" Jia Xu nodded, and ordered a few sergeants to stop the boat and inspect the boat. "Boatman, listen to the boat. Waiting for the boat to arrive, we will lean in! ”
"Hey, what's there to check for such a boat, isn't it just a fishing boat!" The boatman said indifferently when he heard Jia Xu's words. This is a small boat with two sheds, only a dozen materials, which should be used for big fish, and may also be used for passenger transportation temporarily
"Fishing boats?!" Liu Mang is not a water person, and he doesn't even know how to swim in this world, so how can he tell if it's a fishing boat.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Behold, is there a covering net over the little shed? The ship pointed to the ship.
Liu Mang looked at the past, there was such a net-like object.
"That's the fishing net, it looks like it's going to be a passenger now, so the net is put away, and you can see if there are two birds on the side of the boat!" The boatman pointed in the direction of the bow of the boat, and the two black birds did not slip away.
"That's the old eagle, it's the fishermen who use it to catch fish," the boatman continued, explaining the old eagle at this time. It's not a crow, it's a cormorant, also known as a water crow or osprey, and the cormorant is good at diving and can catch fish in the water with a long, hooked beak. In the southern water towns. Fishermen often bring domesticated cormorants with them when they go out fishing. The cormorants stood neatly at the bow of the boat, each with a collar around their necks. When the fishermen came to fish, they whistled and the cormorants jumped into the water to catch fish. Because of their necks, the cormorants caught the fish but could not swallow it, so they had to return to the boat with the fish in their mouths. After the owner took the fish down, the cormorant dived again to catch fish. When encountering a large fish, several cormorants will work together to catch it. Some of them peck at the fish's eyes, some bite the fish's tail, and some bite the fish's fins, and they cooperate very tacitly. When the fishing is over, the owner takes off the cormorant's neck cover and gives them the prepared small fish to eat. This type of fishing is very fun and very effective.
"Fish with birds, fisherman?!" Although Liu Mang sounded interesting, he still sent someone to spy on it immediately. The boatman pursed his lips a little disdainfully, isn't it an extra move, but who made Liu Mang the biggest.
"What are you doing, what are you doing!" A white-clothed scribe shouted loudly in the cabin, and a fisherman next to him also looked abrupt, and the military master shouted as if to explain something.
After a long time, the sergeants returned to the boat to figure out that this was really an ordinary fishing boat, and occasionally guests were sent off.
"Maybe Wen and you are making a big fuss!" Liu Mang was a little self-deprecating when he saw nothing. Even if this kind of boat is an enemy, there are only one or two, although Liu Mang has few people, but there are more than 20 people, and Guan Hai and Zhou Cang are there, and some thieves are not in their eyes.
"It's better to be cautious!" Jia Xu didn't know why, but always felt that a pair of eyes were looking at him.
"Hehe, let's go, this journey to Xiangyang is not far, the day's journey will pass quickly!" Liu Mang patted Jia Xu on the shoulder, and the two entered the cabin.
