Chapter 8 Interception and Killing of Sun Jian
On the wide river, a large wooden ship is moving slowly, this is a civilian merchant ship, often going back and forth between the Lujiang River, Jianye and Xiapi.
It has been more than a week since they left Kanzhong Village, and the Longteng team has passed through Jiangxia, and they have also left the Lujiang River, and are taking this boat to Xiapi.
At this time, their group was crammed into the small cabin, and Li Muhao was complaining that the ship of this era was running too slowly, not as fast as he swam.
Hongyun taunted him: "Then you go down and swim, see if we arrive first by boat or you swim first!" β
Li Muhao was speechless, he is a native of the earth, although he can swim, but nearly a thousand kilometers of waterway, how can he swim in the past?
Li Muhao simply ignored Hongyun's ridicule and began to change the topic: "Have you heard?" The Eighteenth Route Army united to defeat Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was scared away and burned Luoyang! Then the princes of the Eighteenth Road fought among themselves, killed many people each other, and finally dispersed, people's hearts, it's too complicated! β
Corrected him that year: "Don't always look at the historical data, there are no eighteen roads, but there are more than a dozen roads." β
Li Muhao was not convinced: "I heard from the people in the teahouse in Jiangxia!" β
Jiumu robbed him: "That's also hearsay!" β
Li Muhao waved his hand: "Regardless of how many roads it takes, anyway, Dong Zhuo ran to Chang'an, and the combined army only grabbed a burned Luoyang City, and then what is even more strange is that more than a dozen roads will go back to their respective homes, and they will not take the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo, what is this called!" β
That year, he was worried: "Historically, this is the beginning of the division of the Three Kingdoms, and it will be even more chaotic in the future." β
Jiumu also talked about the history books, nodded and added: "Indeed, it is Dong Zhuo who is in charge of the palace now, and everyone will no longer recognize the edict he issued, so without the constraints of the emperor's name, everyone began to rest assured and boldly grab the land, and the real chaotic war has just begun!" β
Everyone was silent for a while, and several people who didn't know much about history couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it turned out that it was already chaotic enough, but I didn't expect it to be even more chaotic, and now the people in the world are even more miserable.
Suddenly, that year stood up and said: "There is a water battle ahead, let's go to the deck!" β
Everyone was very interested in the water warfare of this era, and the group immediately went to the deck.
As far as the eye can see, the river fog in front is filled, but you can still see four Mongolian warships besieging a large civilian ship, but the civilian ships are also armed, both sides are shooting at each other with rockets, and the Daodao rockets have painted the sky, which is very spectacular.
Although the Mongolian warship is smaller, it is more flexible, and with cowhides and the like, the rocket cannot ignite the hull, but the civilian ship cannot, and soon the civilian ship is ignited by the rocket and begins to emit smoke.
The civilian boat they had been on that year slowly stopped, and then began to turn its bow, apparently intending to avoid the area of engagement so as not to inflict on the pond fish.
Many people also stepped onto the deck and began to discuss: "Who is fighting with whom?" β
Another person said: "I can't see it really, but this is Yuan Gong's jurisdiction, it should be the Jianghuai Water Army, right?" β
Another person said uncertainly: "I don't think necessarily, the Jianghuai naval army is weak, this kind of building ship is very rare and dilapidated, this is not like Yuan Shu's naval army, do you see that the flag on the warship is not the word 'Cai'?" I can't really see it, but I feel like if it is really the word 'Cai', then it must be General Cai Mao's presence, and there is no doubt that it is the Jingzhou Navy! β
The first person asked curiously: "Why did the Jingzhou Navy come here?" So who are they besieging them? Four more building ships need to be dispatched? β
The rest shook their heads, how could this be guessed? Maybe it's a round-up of Jiangyang thieves or something, if it's a battle between princes, both sides should be warships, such as small Dou Chong or this kind of building ship in front of you, no one will use clumsy civilian ships to fight, and Liu Biao and Yuan Shu have always been good friends, so there should be no war between them.
Li Muhao opened his mouth to speak: "The building ship has fired a ballista, and the civilian ship can't hold out for long, but it seems that the building boat doesn't want to sink the civilian ship, and there will definitely be a broadside battle in a while." β
Everyone can see this, but Li Muhao just wants to show off, and he thinks he still has some research on the grasp of the battle situation.
That year, his expression moved, and he said softly: "Someone on the civilian boat has shouted, scolding 'Zirou' for treachery and attacking allies!" β
"Who is Zirou?" Li Muhao asked curiously.
That year, he thought about it and said, "It should be Kuai Liang, the elder brother of Kuai Yue we have seen, and Liu Biao's number one military advisor." β
Li Muhao nodded: "It seems that the warship is on Liu Biao's side, yes, who is the person who shouted?" β
That year shook his head: "Kuai Liang didn't reply, he couldn't hear it, and he should be a middle-aged man listening to his voice." β
The civilian boat on which the Longteng team was riding gradually widened the distance from the battlefield, and the ordinary people could not see or hear, and gradually dispersed, only the Longteng team was still watching.
Suddenly, the civilian ships in the battle lowered a few small boats, and the small boats immediately scattered in all directions, and the speed was extremely fast!
The four ships immediately gave up attacking the civilian boat and began to pursue the small boat, which gradually sank in the fire.
That year, his expression moved, and he said: "It may be Kuai Liang, he finally shouted, he called the other party 'Brother Wentai', and asked the other party to leave the things taken from the Eastern Capital, then he didn't take the other party's life, do you think about the word 'Wentai'?" β
Everyone was pondering and meditating, or Jiumu thought about it first, and he exclaimed: "What was taken from the Eastern Capital? That is, he came back from Luoyang, one of the princes of the Eighteen Routes, and he wanted to go back to the south? I remembered that Wentai is Sun Jian's word! Liu Biao is intercepting and killing Sun Jian! Could it be true that the legend that Sun Jian got the jade seal of the country? β
Raising his eyes and staring ahead, he said in a deep voice: "There is a small boat with extraordinary speed, I feel the breath of water magic in it, there must be other participating teams on the boat, it seems that they have chosen to support Sun Jian." β
The building boat that was suddenly chasing the boat also emitted a flash of fire, and a fireball smashed straight into the fleeing boat!
Everyone was surprised, this is definitely not artillery, artillery has not been invented in this era, this is fire magic, and there are "visitors from outside the mountain" in Liu Biao's team!
That year he immediately made a decision, and he said in a deep voice: "I will go into the water to chase Sun Jian, and I must not let Liu Biao get the jade seal of the country, you go to Xiapi first, and we will gather back." β
Hongyun said: "I'll go too, you can't do it alone!" β
That year shook his head: "If you want to catch up, you have to transform, this can't work, if you go into the water, only I can catch up, you better go to Xiapi first, I will act when I see the opportunity, I won't be impulsive." β
Li Muhao sighed: "It would be nice if Asso and Jessica were here, and we would all be able to enter the water with rattan rafts like last time!" β
Everyone was silent immediately, the atmosphere was a little sad, Li Muhao knew that he was speechless, scratched the back of his head with his hand, and smiled apologetically.
That year, he stopped talking, and jumped into the water.
In the dense forest on the south bank of the Yangtze River, four blond-haired and blue-eyed Gelug people were running around three Chinese people in a hurry, and finally the eldest Chinese middle-aged man in the middle couldn't hold on, he sat on the ground with his butt on his head, wheezing violently, and asked, "Have you escaped the pursuers?" β
A thin but capable military general beside him immediately handed him clear water.
One of the young Gelug smirked: "As long as it's in the water, no one can catch up with me, don't worry, I also cast a fog, and we abandoned the boat in the swamp, their boat is big, and they can't get in, so no one can track us at present." β
The middle-aged man nodded and said to the lean general, "Da Rong, are your injuries serious?" β
It should be the military general whose name is Da Rong hurriedly hugged his fist: "Tell the lord, it's just an arrow wound, Zu Mao is fine!" β
Several young people of the Gelug tribe were impatient, and said to the middle-aged man: "Sun Jian, you should hand over the heirloom jade seal to us, put it on you, I am always worried that it will be lost!" β
Zu Mao was furious and yelled at the young man of Gru: "Er dare! How dare you speak so to your lord? Call it by its name! Where is humanity? β
Gru Youth waved his hand disdainfully: "You ancients are really difficult to understand, the name is the name, you have to get a word!" The name can't be called yet, what kind of strange custom is this? We don't want to bother with that, so let's get that seal over to us. β
Zu Mao pulled out his double knives from his side, blocked them in front of him, and shouted: "If you want to coerce the lord, you must first take Zu Mao's life!" β
The four Gelug youths sneered, and the other said, "Your martial arts are good, but there are four of us, you are definitely not an opponent, let's get out of the way, we just need that broken seal, and we will leave immediately after getting it, and we will never hurt you." β
At this time, a Gru woman with a cold expression spoke: "I checked the information before I came, this Sun Jian should have died in the attack at this time, and it is not against history that we simply killed them!" β
Several people were very moved, and their hands immediately touched the weapons.
Sun Jian sighed, closed his eyes and waited for death.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind them: "It's not a gentleman's act to bully the weak like this!" β
They were shocked that there was someone behind them, but they didn't notice it at all.
Everyone looked back together, a young man walked slowly, the clothes on his body were steaming out of white vapor, although he didn't look strong, but the ape had a bee's waist, walking between the dragons and tigers, and the momentum was compelling, and then he looked at him with a long bow and spear, and a long knife hanging from his waist, and his skills must be extraordinary.
The Gelug people immediately felt that they were being targeted by natural predators, and they hurriedly assumed a posture of vigilance and stared at the comer.
After all, Sun Jian has rich life experience, and as soon as he saw that the situation might take a turn for the better, he immediately stood up and hugged his fists: "This strong man, I and Changsha are too guarded by Sun Jian, and I regret that the boat was wrecked, can I ask the strong man to escort him on the next trip?" β
The visitor was about to reply, but the Gelug people preemptively asked, "Who are you?" It's not very convenient here, please avoid it first, so as not to hurt you by mistake! β
The man still moved forward, and only stopped when he was not far in front of them, and he looked at the Gelug people fixedly, and then said helplessly, "Don't you do your homework before you come?" This is the world of our Chinese people, how can you be accepted by the public if you do not respect the history and customs of the Chinese people? And how to promote social development? Just by grabbing a jade seal with only symbolic meaning? Too naΓ―ve, right? β
Only then did these Gelug youths realize that the person in front of them was also a "visitor from outside the mountain" who participated in the competition, and one of them shouted unconvinced: "What can you do if this is the territory of your yellow race?" We white people are the best race! We don't need to know too much, we can also promote the progress of these primitive humans, on the contrary, you dare to face us alone, although we can't kill you, but it's okay to cripple you, you better get out early! β
That year, he was angry, so he simply ignored these contestants, but hugged his fist towards Sun Jian, and then asked Zu Mao: "General Darong, do you still have the strength to fight?" β
Zu Mao shook his swords: "The force is still there, and I am willing to fight side by side with the strong man!" β
The other warrior beside Sun Jian seemed to be just a personal guard, and he didn't speak, he struggled to his feet, and then clenched his short sword, showing his attitude with his actions.
Several Gru people looked at each other for a moment, and then one yelled, "Do it!" β
