Chapter 623: Crossing the River Overnight
It's just that this innocent smile that seems to outsiders falls in Lin Zhiruo's eyes, but it is like a demon smile crawling out of hell.
She couldn't imagine how deep a person's scheming must be to watch her in all kinds of disguises, but let her entourage pretend to be unrecognizable, and deliberately let them go while searching for their existence in a carpet way.
They were like rats caught by a cat, and although they were not eaten, they were teased and slapped all the time. Even how she infiltrated Fu Chenghai's shop was clearly understood by the Crane King, and the smiling heartless person in front of her was really terrifying, which made her feel terrible even if she had never been afraid of death.
"By the way, Ruo'er doesn't know yet, when Awan entered Beijing instead of my mother, my mother and younger brother could only live in the small city of Anyang all the time, and my father and I also moved here, so today, this Zhongzhou is completely under the control of this king. The king arranged 100,000 elite soldiers in the upper reaches of the Chu River, and sent scouts to investigate day and night, and blocked the river with sand bags overnight the day before King Hui arrived at the Chu River, and when King Hui's fleet reached the center of the river, the sand bank was overturned again, and then both King Hui and his soldiers would become the food of the fish in the water of the Chu River. What does Ruo'er think of this king's plan? Isn't it very good to surrender without a fight? ”
Lin Zhiruo gasped when she heard this, although she had a hunch that the Crane King must have expected the development of things and made sufficient preparations, plus his control over Hezhou was already very solid, and even Zhongzhou might be completely under his control, but she didn't expect that he had already made such a careful plan, and Qin Ziyu, who was far away in the capital, didn't know anything about the situation here, and the Crane King arranged a stand-in in Hezhou as a trick.
At that time, Qin Ziyu didn't know anything about the situation here, and he was afraid that there would be more than one luck.
Her mind was spinning rapidly, she had to find a way to get out of the control of the Crane King this morning, rush to the other side of the Chu River as soon as possible, and stop Qin Ziyu from crossing the river.
"In the future, when the king annihilates the army of King Hui, and then takes advantage of the time when the king of Duan attacks Xiliang, he will wave his army south and surround the capital, at that time, even if the news is transmitted from the capital to Xiliang, it will take three months to go back, even if the king of Duan has won the Xiliang people, the old man who is in the capital is only afraid that he has died under the sword of this king, and this king will officially become the master of this country.
The Crane King's abacus was really loud, it didn't take a single soldier to flood Qin Ziyu's army, and discussed with the Xiliang people to transfer Qin Zimo out of the capital, she never believed in any coincidence, the Crane King would start sending troops at the same time as the Xiliang people, and it must have been discussed in advance. It's just that when did the Crane King get involved with the Xiliang people, Lin Zhiruo had no way to ask.
She was no longer willing to spend any more time dealing with the Crane King, and only hoped that Su Xian's side could play some unexpected functions to help her escape from the Taishi Mansion.
On the other side, Qin Ziyu was dressed in silver-white armor and rode a black high-headed horse in front of the team to look into the distance, and said softly: "Ruo'er, wait for me." ”
From the time Qin Zimo returned with evidence of the Crane King's rebellion to tell him the truth about Meng Dongxing's death, he knew that with Lin Zhiruo's character, she would definitely not let Ah Xing's death be so unclear.
Whether it is regarded as an abandoned son by the Crane King, or because of the internal conflicts of the Crane King, whether it is infighting, although Lin Zhiruo only cares about money on the surface, she is the most righteous person, and she will definitely go to find out the cause of Ah Xing's death, she can only be in Anyang.
Therefore, he will take the initiative to ask Ying to crusade against the Crane King, the biggest reason is to find Lin Zhiruo, the closer he is to Anyang, the more his heart can not be calm, and he received the news in the middle of the march that the Crane King in Hezhou has already shown his fangs, and imprisoned the local officials who disobeyed him, and replaced them with his own manpower.
As for the imperial court, it had lost contact with Hezhou as early as a month ago. Although Qin Zimo presented the evidence of the Crane King's rebellion, it was already too late, the Crane King's wings were already full, and I was afraid that this battle would be very difficult.
And Zhongzhou, where Anyang is located, is adjacent to Hezhou, since the Crane King has been secretly preparing for many years, after firmly controlling Hezhou, he will inevitably continue to expand outward, and even go south to besiege the capital
"Your Highness, there is the Chu River in front of you, you see ......"
It was getting late, the dark environment was not good for the march, and they were getting closer and closer to Hezhou, they could encounter the army of the Crane King at any time, and the Chu River had been a moat since ancient times, the water was turbulent and the river was wide, and it was obviously not wise to cross the river at night.
Qin Ziyu knew what the lieutenant general meant, these days, they have been marching at a very fast speed, it originally took twenty days to travel, they only took fifteen days to complete, the soldiers who got up early and slept late were already exhausted, the best decision at this time should be to set up camp here first, and wait until dawn to send soldiers familiar with the water to investigate and then try to cross the river is the safest way.
It's just that he hasn't heard from Lin Zhiruo for a month, and he is so anxious that he can't fly directly over this Chu River moat.
Qin Ziyu frowned, glanced at the sun that was only a fist away from the top of the mountain in the distance, and after hesitating for a long time, he said with difficulty: "Order someone to go to the mountain forest next to you to cut down trees and tie them into wooden rows, and we will cross the river overnight tonight!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Hui!" As soon as these words came out, the deputy general immediately raised his head and looked at Qin Ziyu with an incredulous expression, "We have been on the road for two days and two nights in a row, and we are sleepy and tired, so it is really not a wise move to cross the river at this time......
Before he finished speaking, Qin Ziyu waved his arm and said: "This king knows what you mean, but it is still early at this time, and after crossing the Chu River, we will arrive in Zhongzhou, where it is very likely that it has fallen under the control of the Crane King, crossing the river during the day, our 100,000 army is too eye-catching, it is easy to be discovered, and the moment it lands is when our heads fall to the ground, this king does not dare to take this risk." ”
"The soldiers of this king are already very tired, but the soldiers are very fast, the Crane King must not have expected that we could arrive here so many days in advance, let alone that we would cross the river overnight in such a situation of jealousy and fatigue, this is certainly a risk for us, but it is also a good opportunity."
The adjutant general was silent for a long time, clenched his fists and said "yes", and then retreated.
