Chapter Forty-Six: The Swimming Prince, Sun Zhongmou

On July 8, early in the morning, at the beginning of the eclipse time, there was a white mist on the surface of the Qingshui River.

The tumbling river rolled up the waves, and the sassal trees in the river slapped against the shore.

Although the surface of the Qingshui River is not as exaggerated as that of the Yangtze River, it is more than one mile and nearly two miles wide and more than 200 meters in the narrow place.

The Lingyang section happens to be relatively moderate, more than 300 meters wide, especially when it is still in the high tide stage recently.

Therefore, Shen Chen asked the soldiers to cut down a large amount of wood these days, connect them together with ropes, wooden rivets, and rattans, and cooperate with a large boat to stop the river.

Soldiers came and went inside and outside the city at this time, and they carried boxes of supplies to the ship, mainly bows and arrows.

As one of the three key points in the rear, Lingyang not only has more than 200,000 stones, grains and grasses, but also many bows and arrows.

After staying in Lingyang for nearly twenty days, Shen Chen decided to set off again and head for Yixian.

In the past few days, he and Zhou Yu have been in constant correspondence, going back and forth to discuss the location of the exchange of hostages.

After several "friendly consultations" between the two sides, after "in-depth exchanges of mutual opinions", they finally "reached an agreement" and completed "win-win cooperation".

At Shen Chen's insistence, the two sides had to exchange hostages in Yixian.

And Zhou Yu, naturally, after several "thoughtful thoughts" and several "strong opposition", finally couldn't hold his arms and thighs, and "reluctantly" agreed to this condition.

After all, it was the best choice for him to exchange hostages in Yixian.

Once Huang Zu replaced Sun Quan and Zhang Hong, he would be able to immediately order a general attack, so that the LΓΌ Meng army that cooperated with Yunxi would inevitably be able to wipe out the receiving troops sent by Shen Chen and Liu Pan.

So in this tacit understanding between the two sides, they also began to arrange each other.

Lingyang City is busy inside and outside.

After breakfast, Sun Quan and Zhang Hong were also taken out, and under the escort of the soldiers, the two of them left the county mansion and came all the way to the dock outside Lingyang City.

After being imprisoned for nearly a month, Sun Quan's complexion was much worse, he looked like a rooster with high morale at first, but since he was beaten by Shen Chen, the whole person seemed to be loose and had no fighting spirit.

But after seeing Zhang Hong, he immediately cheered up.

At this time, several boats had been parked on the dock, and many soldiers were walking towards the boats, taking their positions under the command of generals at all levels.

"Father."

When Sun Quan saw Zhang Hong, he hurriedly walked over, and saw that his complexion was much worse, and he was very worried.

For Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao, he still respects him from the bottom of his heart.

"Xuan'er."

Zhang Hong glanced at him with satisfaction.

During this time, they had been held separately and saw each other very rarely, which made him so sad that he could not stay up all night.

Fortunately, when we saw each other again today, there was nothing to do on both sides, and I was finally much more relieved.

"It's really a father-son relationship."

Shen Chen, who was wearing a suit of armor, appeared in front of the two with his hands on his back, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zigang, there is good news, Sun Quan plans to exchange General Huang Zu for your father and son, we are going to Yixian County soon, and we will exchange protons there." ”

"I hope General Shen will keep his promise."

Zhang Hong said in a deep voice: "You can go south from Yixian County to Poyang, presumably Liu Pan, who is in Nanchang at this time, has already sent someone to pick you up." ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "That's natural, so let's ask the two of you to get on the boat." ”

"Why aren't Xuan'er and I on the same ship?"

Zhang Hong noticed that the soldiers were apparently going to separate them and place them on two separate boats.

Shen Chen explained: "For the sake of safety, it is better to score and stake. ”

"Then we can't have two rooms on one ship?"

Zhang Hong asked.

Shen Chen shook his head and said: "No, in order to prevent accidents, we have to be on two separate ships, but don't worry, sir, after waiting for Yixian, Zhou Yu will bring General Huang Zu over to exchange with Mr. and his son, and you will meet again." ”

Zhang Hong said calmly: "You haven't sailed yet, and the old man and Xuan'er haven't seen each other for many days, so they can stand at the dock together and wait for a while, chatting, it should be okay." ”

"Well, this one."

Shen Chen looked left and right, there were countless soldiers and horses on the left and right, and there were dozens of guards guarding them around, and it was impossible for them to escape, but for the sake of safety, he said, "Yes, but Zhang Xuan must be tied up." ”

"Someone."

As soon as Zhang Nan, the deputy general next to him, waved his hand, two soldiers came up and tied Zhang Xuan's hands and tied them like handcuffs.

Sun Quan and Zhang Hong glanced at each other, and Zhang Hong shook his head slightly.

After tying them up, Shen Chen instructed the soldiers around them to take care of them, "Let them sit here, you guys watch closely." ”

"Yes."

The soldiers agreed.

Shen Chen turned around and left, busy with his own business.

waited until he left, Zhang Hongcai whispered to Sun Quan: "Xuan'er, how are you doing these days?" ”

"Lao's father is worried, everything is fine, they are not abusing the child."

Sun Quan replied.

"Well, then I'm relieved."

Zhang Hong said deliberately: "It seems that Wu Hou still remembers the old man, and he is willing to exchange Huang Zu for it." ”

Sun Quan said: "This is all because my father is highly respected, and Wu Hou has always been a corporal and respects his father. ”

"Let's hope everything goes well with this proton change."

"Then didn't Liu Pan come to pick up Shen Chen? Zhou Dudu will not act rashly. ”

"Then again, it's kind of weird."

"Something is strange."

"Shen Chen and several generals around him are all wearing battle armor."

Zhang Hong said in a low voice.

"Warframe?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he was immediately shocked.

Sailors rarely wear armor.

Because fighting on the surface of the water, if you are not careful, you will fall into the water.

After entering the water, the armor weighing more than ten or twenty catties will become a deadly sinking river stone.

Therefore, no matter how good the water is in the army, the soldiers will also choose light clothes.

They were planning to take a ship now, and even if they were going to fight, they shouldn't wear armor.

Therefore, this can only mean one thing - the other side is ready to go ashore to fight!

"Moh."

Sun Quan muttered quietly.

Zhang Hong sighed: "I'm also worried, I still have to be careful." ”

"Hmm."

Sun Quan nodded.

The two chatted for a while about something else.

After about two or three quarters of an hour, the Jiangxia naval army finally withdrew from Lingyang City.

Zhang Hong and Sun Quan were taken to the front and rear boats respectively.

"Get in!"

Sun Quan was taken into a room in the bilge, and the soldiers brutally pushed him inside.

"Damn."

He stumbled a few steps and almost fell because his hands were tied.

Just as Sun Quan turned around and was about to scold the soldier angrily, the soldier slammed the door and closed the door hard.

Sun Quan scolded twice, and only then did he look around and look at the surrounding environment.

This is a torture cell in the bilge, not completely sealed, there is a small ventilation window, and bright light enters through the window, illuminating the whole room.

There was nothing else in the room, just a bed and a toilet, and it was obvious that the prisoner didn't have to think about how well he could live there.

Sun Quan walked to the side of the ventilation window.

He noticed that the columns on the windows were made of wood, not bars, and apparently tied his hands and feet to prevent him from escaping, because the wooden windows might not be able to stop him.

"Hmph."

Sun Quan snorted coldly, thinking to himself that Shen Chen thought that he would have no choice if he tied him up?

Then he sat down on the ground, groping for his feet.

These days he was also not conspicuous, and stumbled upon a small dagger under the bed in the backyard of the county mansion where he was being held.

Although he didn't know where the dagger came from, he was also very clever in hiding things.

At this time, he was put in the bilge, and immediately began to grope.

After a few moments, the small dagger he had hidden in his shoe was removed, it was about the length of a man's middle finger, and the grip was thin, more of a razor-sharp file than a dagger.

He grasped the dagger upside down in both hands and began to cut the rope that bound his wrist, and in less than 20 seconds, the rope fell to the ground.

After regaining his freedom, Sun Quan immediately walked to the door and listened carefully to the movement outside.

There was no sound outside.

If you look from the window, the ship is still sailing, because the river is foggy, and you can only feel the boat turbulence, but you don't know where you are.

So Sun Quan walked to the window again, holding the rope in his hand, hiding his hands, so that if someone suddenly came in, he could disguise himself as if he was still tied. Second, this rope has other uses, to prevent others from jumping into the river to hear the movement.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that things were going very smoothly, and when he was cutting the wooden post with a dagger, no one outside was there to disturb him at all, and the sound of the boat sailing on the river also drowned out the sound of him cutting wood.

Soon in less than three quarters of an hour, he cut the wooden pillars on the window, and Sun Quan moved the bed to the window, tied the legs of the bed with ropes, and then stood on the bed and began to climb out of the wooden window.

He was extremely tall, and it was not easy to climb through the wooden window, and it took a lot of effort to barely get out.

The fresh and free air outside made Sun Quan's whole person feel full of energy.

It was only then that he found the ship floating mightily on the surface of a vast lake, and the shore was not far away, less than twenty or thirty feet away.

Sun Quan began to climb down the rope on the window, and slowly came to the bottom of the boat, where the oars were stretched out from the holes on both sides of the bottom of the boat and rowed continuously.

He was held in the second cabin, which was where the sailors rowed.

In order to avoid the oars, Sun Quan struggled to move his body, and finally slowly leaned into the water, and finally relaxed his hands.

The whole person fell gently into the lake.

The boat was speeding across the lake, and after only a few moments, it was already a hundred meters away.

And Sun Quan, who dived into the water, did not rise from the water until there was no movement on his head, glanced at the direction of Da Fang's departure in the distance, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then crawled towards the shore.

Although he was the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan had many other interests before he inherited the position, not only did he love hunting, but he also had a very good water nature, and swimming could not make it difficult for him.

Soon he had crawled to the shore, and by this time he was very embarrassed, wet, and his temperature had dropped rapidly.

Sun Quan looked around, the surrounding forest was dense, the shore was lush, and the sky was still raining lightly.

I shivered with cold for a while.

But for fear of being discovered by the enemy, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and use his hands and feet at the same time, and climbed into the forest.

Stumbling along the way, covered in a lot of mud, embarrassed like a wild man.

Sun Quan didn't know where this was, but he only needed to know one thing - that is, follow the direction the ship came from, and you could return to Lingyang!

So without hesitation, he went into the woods and went north along the coast.

Outrageous, putting pressure on the author day by day. Some people say that the protagonist is calculated by Lu Su, and the image of a wise man is not good. However, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi also have times when they calculate each other, can't they be wise people?

This kind of thing is supposed to pay attention to the right time and place, and the battle between Lu Su and the protagonist was originally Lu Su's advantage, and the protagonist was in the city, and Lu Su couldn't get in, if there was no brain, I could certainly give Lu Su a smart down, but what I wrote was a group portrait article, the IQ of the protagonist and the supporting characters were all online, and it was interesting to fight wits and courage with each other, so it was impossible for me to reduce the wisdom of Lu Su, if the reader asked me to reduce the intelligence, I'm sorry, I can't do it.

The other thing is Sun Quan, some people say why they don't ask the captured soldiers to ask Sun Quan.

First, the protagonist doesn't know that Sun Quan is in the city, so of course he can't ask Sun Quan if he is in the city inexplicably.

Second, the book also said that the soldiers who protected Sun Quan were the most loyal Sun family soldiers, and their families were all in Jiangdong, did they not even want their families to betray Sun Quan?

So the protagonist didn't ask, and the captured soldiers didn't say it, which is the most logical, otherwise Lu Bu almost captured Cao Cao, why didn't the people around Cao Cao betray him?

And everyone has a lot of complaints about the release of Sun Quan, just kidding, if you arrest him once, you can't arrest him a second time, isn't it good to humiliate him slowly?

In the end, there is the question of what family, this is even more outrageous, where did the family come from in the deep mountains and old forests in the southeast hills, at least I consulted a lot of information, and I didn't find any trace of the family, all of them are Shanyue people.

On the whole, there are answers to the unreasonable places that everyone thinks are in the book, and I hope you will read the book carefully and don't keep putting pressure on the author.
