Chapter 793: Crossing the River and Heading North

"Eat meat...... I want to eat meat......" Seeing the roast meat, the ugly baby made a fuss again, stretched out her hand and was about to grab it on the plate, but Fang Hong directly brought it back and threw a pair of chopsticks to him.

"You have to use chopsticks to eat, that's the rule. Fang Hong himself touched a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and sent it to his mouth. The ugly baby looked at her father and pouted, but she still picked up the chopsticks and began to clamp the meat with great difficulty.

His little hands couldn't hold the chopsticks at all, and after trying for a long time, he didn't pick up a piece of meat. Seeing that his father had eaten so much, the ugly baby was also anxious, so he poked directly on a piece of meat with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth like a sugar gourd, and his face was soon covered with soup.

Seeing this, Fang Hong just smiled and didn't say anything.

In the afternoon, Fang Hong handed over the ugly baby to Xie Chaoyu, while he himself went in the direction of the warehouse.

"My lord, the weight of the baggage has been counted, and the grain is 36,523 stones, and the iron ingots are 8,000 catties. There were 300 mules and horses, but there were not many weapons that could be used, and only about 50 long knives were found. As soon as he arrived at the warehouse, Zhao Cheng walked over with a thick account book in his hand.

Most of King Ning's honor guards are illiterate, and only a few people can do some bookkeeping work, and Zhao Chengcheng is one of them, he used to be the head of Changning's team and can recognize some words.

"Take me inside. Fang Hong took the account book and flipped through it a few times at random, the record in this account book was irregular at first glance, his family used to be in the grain business, and he also learned to keep accounts for a period of time, but for laymen like Zhao Cheng, they can't be too demanding.

A few people entered the storeroom, which was a little shady, but dry, with piles of pockets stacked inside, all of which were stockpiled with grain. On the other side of the ground were iron ingots, many of which had rust, apparently for some years.

Fang Hong flicked his fingers, and a dripping round ball appeared in his hand. He slapped the ball, and the edge turned into a swarthy hole, suspended in mid-air. And a suction force also came from the black hole, absorbing all the food and materials.

This sphere is the space he got from the White Cloud Temple, and it can hold a large number of items. After about half an hour of collection, the storehouse was empty, and all but a hundred or so bags of rations were left in the ball.

Although Zhao Cheng and the others had seen Fang Hong use this magic power many times, they still felt extremely surprised, the power of this immortal was really unpredictable, with this means, the biggest baggage problem of the army was solved.

"You can take the rest of the grain here to cook in a while, and don't take the mules and horses you find, just kill them and eat meat. By the way, how about I asked you to find a boat?" Fang Hong commanded Zhao Cheng, and then thought of something, so he opened his mouth to mention it.

"My lord, this Yidu County is only a county seat, and we can't get enough boats at all, unless we go to a few more county seats, maybe there is hope. Zhao Cheng said respectfully.

"Then there is no need, it is too delayed, so let's let everyone go to cut wood after eating, and then make a raft, the section of the Yellow River in Qingzhou Mansion is not turbulent, and it is enough to cross the river in a raft." "It takes time to go to some nearby places to find a ship, and they have so few people that they have to solve the problem quickly.

Zhao Cheng responded, and quickly ordered someone to carry the grain, and quickly prepared to bury the pot for cooking. After eating, I started to cut wood. At the beginning, they trained under Fang Hong for more than half a year, but they often cut wood, but they were also familiar with the road, and it only took three days to build nearly a thousand rafts.

......

And just when they stayed in Yidu County to cut wood and build ships, the army from the north had already been drawn, and the 30,000 border troops were coming towards the south. The military department of the imperial court quickly mobilized a large amount of food and baggage, just to ensure that the soldiers could have sufficient combat effectiveness.

Among the 30,000 troops, there were also 5,000 cavalry battalions, which were different from the soldiers under Fang Hong. Although Fang Hong's subordinates also rode horses, their horses were all inferior horses, and they were okay to work and ride, and they would definitely have to lie down in battle.

With these 30,000 soldiers and horses in hand, the Ming side is almost victorious, and many people in the capital have made bets, betting that the army can quell the rebellion in a few days.

"Grandpa Guo, there is the Yellow River in front, according to the report from the spies, that gang of bandits occupies Yidu County and is repairing there, do we ask the imperial court to send ships to support?" A lieutenant general quickly reported the situation ahead and made suggestions, but it was Xu Guangzuo who really took the idea.

"There's no need to do more, those people are clearly planning to cross the river to the north, and we can just stay here. If they don't come here in half a month, it's not too late for us to attack again. Xu Guangzuo shook his head, there were too many of them, once they crossed the river, the energy consumed would be too great, in case the enemy was given a chance to take advantage of it, it would not be beautiful.

If you don't just hold on here, if the enemy doesn't come, you will just do it, and once you come, you will definitely extinguish the opponent with the power of thunder. Those who use soldiers should be upright, and those tricks may be able to compete for miraculous achievements, but that is only a last resort when the enemy is strong and I am weak. Once you have an advantage, you must not take risks, and it is the right way to overwhelm talents. Just like Han Xin's soldiers back then, the more the merrier. This not only shows Han Xin's superb ability to lead the army, but also shows that real famous generals never like to do strange things.

These words were admonished to him by his grandfather, and he has always taken them to heart.

Xu Guangzuo's order was soon handed down, and the 30,000-strong army quickly deployed along the Yellow River, and a large number of spies were released, and began to spy on the movements on the other side.

They did not wait long, and on the second day after they set up camp, Fang Hong and the others left Yidu County and began to prepare to cross the river. There are about 1,000 wooden rafts, which look a little simple, and there are soldiers standing on them, with different costumes and weapons, looking like a ragtag army.

However, there was undisguised killing intent in everyone's eyes, like a vicious wolf that could rush up and devour the enemy at any time.

In the middle of these rafts, there is a canopy boat, which Fang Hong prepared for Xie Chaoyu and the ugly baby, the wind is strong on the Yellow River, and women and children cannot be allowed to blow the wind outside.

"Ready, go!" Fang Hong shouted as he stood on a raft at the front, and all the boats set off one after another, heading for the opposite shore.
