Chapter 251: Daily Patrols
The Tang army had adapted to the patrols of the Song fleet.
Every three days, there will be a fleet of boats from Hubei into Jiangxi, and then slowly up the river and back to their camp.
During this period, they would provoke and ridicule the Southern Tang patrols they encountered, and sometimes insult the personality of the Tang army.
Sometimes they are the banner of the word "Xu", sometimes the flag of the word "Fei", and sometimes the banner of the word "Meng".
When the "Xu" flag appears, the giant ship will appear, and the Tang army will be on full alert at this time.
"Hopefully that's all they want." Zheng Yanhua sighed and said.
"Envoy Jiedu, I need twenty clippers." Pan You said.
"Panshe, I hope you can understand that you were relegated to a lesson, not here to prepare a suicide attack, if your rash actions led to an all-out ......war," Mr. Zheng said.
"I'll take care of it." Pan You said.
"You? No, no, no, you can't take responsibility, you're dead, and the emperor will be held accountable by the emperor at that time. Zheng Yanhua looked gloomy.
"Fifteen." Pan You crossed his five fingers.
"You're like a businessman." Zheng Yanhua looked disgusted.
"I promise not to go to war." Pan You said.
"I'll give you ten boats, and you'll have to tell me how to get there." Zheng Yanhua said.
Pan You looked around and asked Zheng Yanhua to come over.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh! Reasonable. Zheng Yanhua nodded frequently.
One morning in September, the Song Army's Linquan once again appeared on the river surface of Jiangxi, and at this time, an arm-thick iron cable appeared on the river.
"Iron lock Yokoe?" Xu Yongzhi felt a little surprised.
This method of defense is very ancient, and it was used by Soochow in the last years of the Three Kingdoms.
"This should be the way of Pan You, a nerd, reading a little bit of the Three Kingdoms, I feel that I have mastered the truth of the world." Xu Yongzhi smiled secretly.
At that time, the solution of the Western Jin army was to use bamboo rafts to light fires and burn those iron chains.
It will take more than two days.
It is time-consuming and laborious, and completely unnecessary.
"Let's go back," Xu Yongzhi said, "crossing the river with iron cables, it can be seen that the Jinling army has declared war, and we will go back and send cavalry over to remove this chain directly from the north bank." ”
"My lord," Meng Tianniu said, "Actually, we can directly use the sword and sword to cut this chain, it's not difficult." ”
"There's no need for that." Xu Yongzhi said.
"The keel tomahawk and the three thousand guan should be able to cut this chain." Duan Meimei said.
"We'll go back and send cavalry, and it's another three days, if we go now......" Meng Tianniu said.
"Lao Meng's method is good, we can leave a piece of iron chain as evidence of the crime, now drive the boat over, smooth sailing, we can kill Tongling in one day, and attack Jinling with friendly troops downstream, and soon end the war." Duan Meimei said.
The phrase "the war will end soon" really moved Xu Yongzhi.
The fleet is ready to go from patrol to war at any time these days, so it's okay to send troops on any day.
Now there are iron chains, and there is an excuse to start the army.
"Okay, Lao Meng will arrange it."
Meng Tianniu shouted an order, and quickly let the big boat put down the boat, and Xu Yongzhi handed his two-handed sword "Three Thousand Guan" to him.
"Old Meng, there will be a huge force when the iron cable breaks, be careful to dodge." Xu Yongzhi said.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will go to the shallow place on the north shore, and I will be foolproof." Meng Tianniu said.
"Just let your sergeant go!" Duan Meimei said.
This is in vain.
Meng Tianniu was born as the boss of the robe, this kind of thing is naturally rushing to the front, and the water of the Yangtze River is not allowed by ordinary people.
"Niu Qi, take Wang Laosi to shake the boat, let's go."
Niu Qi said hello, and the boat was like an arrow, heading directly to the north shore.
When they came to the north shore, they saw one end of the chain firmly nailed to the rock wall.
"Fortunately, no more cavalry was sent, and ordinary soldiers couldn't get up to this cliff." Meng Tianniu said to Niu Qi.
Meng Tianniu saw that there was a reef to cover it and the water was easing, so he asked Niu Qi and Wang Laosi to stabilize the boat, and he unsheathed his sword and aimed at the iron cable.
What a fast sword!
The sword was like a hot knife cutting butter, and it cut the iron cable in two at once, and the iron cable was pulled so tightly that it suddenly cut off, and flew up like an iron whip and smashed into the boat.
Niu Qi and Wang Laosi hurriedly rowed as hard as they could and successfully dodged this blow, but at this moment, three naked and anointed people jumped out of the water and rushed straight at Meng Tianniu.
Meng Tianniu never expected that the assassin could jump out of the water, and if the two-handed sword in his hand attacked the enemy in the distance, it would be the best, but the three of them used daggers and Emei thorns to raid his empty door, no matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to escape this blow.
Six short knives were inserted into Meng Tianniu's chest and stomach, and Old Meng roared and fell into the boat.
Wang Laosi and Niu Qi hurriedly used oars and bamboo poles to hit the three people, the three of them did not love to fight, there was a blackened face of the person who took the sword in Meng Tianniu's hand, one snatched the scabbard, jumped into the water and left, Niu Qi was about to catch up, but he didn't know the depth of the water here, and then looked at Meng Tianniu, the deputy governor of the navy, who was already killed by a knife in his body, quickly shook the boat and returned to the flagship, here Xu Yongzhi picked up Meng Tianniu.
"This is a conspiracy of the enemy!" Xu Yongzhi looked at Meng Tianniu's corpse, bubbling with blood.
"Their purpose is to carry out assassination." Duan Meimei said.
"They seem to be aiming for me." Xu Yongzhi said.
"Chirp ashes," Xu Yongzhi suppressed his grief and said to the parrot, "Send a message to Fei Yanggu and Cao Bin!" ”
The chirping gray fluttered its wings and headed straight upstream.
After getting the news, Fei Yanggu and Cao Bin sent 10,000 ships together, and bypassed Jiangxi and went straight to Jinling.
"The sword of the enemy general."
The three water ghosts returned to Zheng Yanhua's water village and handed over the sword to the Jiedu envoy.
"Is it Xu Jin?"
"It's from a giant ship, it's very tall, with this sword." Said the leader of the water ghosts.
These three water ghosts are Zheng Yanhua's family soldiers, all of them are Fusang people, all three of them were pirates when they were young, and they were later defeated by the Jiedu envoy with his troops, he kept his hair and stabbed his face, and became a family member, and now he is a henchman.
But although the three of them are brave and watery, they don't know Xu Jin, although there are graphics, but the graphics of Xu Jin in the Southern Tang Dynasty are also a mess, and there are all kinds of paintings.
"The sword is Xu Jin's!" Lord Pan You shouted.
"Are you sure?" Zheng Yanhua said happily.
"I know this, this sword was returned to Xu Jin through King Jin, it is his sword!" Pan You said, "Look! ”
Zheng Yanhua saw the words "Shanzitangjin".
No more suspense!
"We've killed the enemy!" Zheng Yanhua hurriedly sent a beacon message to Jinling.
The eldest princess once said that as long as Xu Jin is killed, the next Song army fleet will be able to enter the bottom of the river with a storm, and now that Lord Zheng has completed the first half, Datang will be saved soon.
The clipper sent Pan You and Baojian to Jinling, and today it is Gonggong Yan on duty, and this person is a dark line arranged by Shanzitang in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
When the sword was placed in front of Li Yu, everyone was taken aback.
"Just dead?" Li Lianqiao asked in disbelief.
"This sword is proof." Lord Pan You's face was heroic.
"I really can't believe it," Lord Seo Hyun looked at the inscription of the sword carefully, and it was indeed true.
"I know this sword." Li Yu said.
He regained his confidence and began to use the emperor's self-title.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Gonggong Yan congratulated Li Yu.
"It's up to you now, sister," Li Yu said, "Xu Jin is dead, how many fleets are you going to use to cooperate with your attack?" ”
"It's enough for Zhou Zhuocheng to lead a naval army of 10,000 people, mainly with the power of the good wind. Let today's wind be a little louder and more lively! Li Lianqiao said.
"Gotta celebrate today!" Gonggong Yan said, "Your Majesty, do you want to drink a little?" ”
"Of course, arrange it now!"
Xu Xuan, Feng Yanlu, Zhou Zhuocheng, Pan You and Li Yu were very drunk that day.
"Pan Qing, I love you very much!" Li Yu praised this courtier with a big tongue, "I have always felt that you are a civil official, and I don't want to be so heroic, so I will add you to be the captain of the school!" ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't fix that nothing, the minister wants to be the envoy of the Huainan Festival, and the minister will beat Yangzhou down to His Majesty tomorrow!"
"Heroic, I give you a set of bright light armor! My Wenchen is so brave! ”
"The minister is a native of Youzhou, the land of Yanzhao, since ancient times, many, many, many, many ......"
"Ten years of hard work can hit the Juma River, and twenty years later, restore to the territory of the Tang Dynasty! The green ridge and the indigo are all our Datang! ”
Lord Pan You fell asleep with his own ambitions.
On the contrary, Li Lianqiao had a lot of suspicions, she originally wanted Zhou Zhuocheng to send scouts to investigate, but Yan's father-in-law put down the matter by himself with a piece of wine, she ate a few glasses of wine, and felt that it was tasteless, Xu Jin died like this, it was too boring, so she simply went home.
When the wine woke up, it was already early the next morning, and after drinking like this, the morning dynasty was pulled down, but at this time, the messenger who reported the news came in a mess outside the door.
"Your Majesty is up? 100,000 urgent military intelligence to report. An envoy with an oily face shouted outside the palace.
This is an exaggeration.
reported to the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and Lord Xu Xuan's Prime Minister's Mansion, but no one was there, and in the end he had to break into the palace directly.
"What's the noise? Disturbed Your Majesty, who is responsible? Father-in-law Yan hurriedly went out to meet him.
"It is said that he is a messenger from the quarrying front," the little chamberlain said to Yan Gonggong, "the quarrying is lost." ”
The Yangtze River has a bend in Nanjing.
Quarrying is in today's Ma'anshan in Anhui, and further north is Yanziji in Nanjing.
"Whose military horse?" Gonggong Yan was also taken aback, he was still hesitating yesterday, he didn't believe that Xu Jin would be killed by Pan You, Pan You was not that material at all, so he was thinking about how to send the news to Xu Yongzhi's army.
"It's the Song army's fleet!" The envoy was a commanding envoy, crouching weakly on the ground, looking terrified.
"Why are you scared like this!" Yan Gonggong rebuked the commander, "Which part of the enemy is it?" ”
"It's Lin Quanjun's envoy Xu Jin." The messenger said to Yan Gonggong.
Gonggong Yan nodded, his face tried not to show joy, the day he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
He opened the door of the temple and let the morning sun shine into the temple.
"Your Majesty," Gonggong Yan's voice was full of majesty, "Xu Jin's fleet of the Song Dynasty has conquered Quarry Rock, and it is about to come to Stone City!" ”
Li Yu shuddered, this day came too quickly.
