Shouchun's task at this stage is to defend, and Cao Cao does not plan to waste time in Jianghuai until Hebei is completely defeated, after all, in the Jianghuai region, where the waterways extend in all directions, a well-trained naval army is needed.

At this time, Cao Cao did not have the energy to form a naval army, nor did he have the energy to build a fleet, and the main thing left for Xiahoudun was the foot soldiers, and Shouchun only had a small number of officers equipped with mounts.

A large number of warships appeared on the river, and Xiahoudun eagerly ordered 5,000 soldiers to go out of the city in the rain, leaving Li Dian, a junior in the army who loves to 'preach', to assist Liu Fu to defend the city.

On rainy days, the roads are muddy and the temperature is cold due to the rain.

The Shouchun soldiers wore winter clothes and armor, and ran so fast that they were tired.

When Xiahoudun traveled to the bank of the river, he found that the 'warship' not far away was not the right size, why did it look like a fishing boat?

Captain Qin Yi also found the clue, and hurriedly reminded him: "General Xiahou, look at this."

"What is this? Quickly let the soldiers come up and prevent the Jiangdong rats from going ashore, although the boats are small, they can't hold a large number, there are at least 200 ships in this river. Xiahoudun was unwilling to admit his mistake and forcibly made excuses for himself.

"Yui."

Qin Yi didn't dare to disobey the military order, and responded with his fists clenched to convey it.

The two hundred were ordinary small fishing boats, each with a sailor in a suit paddling oars at the bow and stern, and the canopy was covered with green curtains on both sides, so that it was impossible to see if there were people hidden in the cabin.

Seeing Xiahoudun's army approaching the river, the fleet immediately changed from a fish scale formation to a long snake formation, and slowly moved along the west bank of the river.

There was a river blocking the road in front, most of Cao's army was not waterproof, and it was unrealistic to build a pontoon bridge, so Xiahoudun had to look at the river and sigh.

The number of people carried by the fishing boats is limited, and the other party covers the ends of the shed with green curtains, Qin Yi suspects that there is no one under the shed at all, and reminds again: "General Xiahou, these fishing boats are not flag-bearing, and there may be no one in the cabin, the last general estimates that there are only a few hundred of them, and even fishermen in the first place, it is better to let me lead the people of the headquarters to stay and watch, so you don't have to follow the rain." ”

Xiahoudun's expression was solemn, and he stroked his beard and said, "If there is no one in the cabin, why do they use green curtains to cover it?" It's clear that there is some kind of ruse, but your guess is reasonable, send a loud voice to ask, where did they come from? What do you want to do? ”

Qin Yi pondered, why bother looking for someone? He hurried his horse a few steps to the river, put his hands on either side of his nose, and cried out, "Hey, what are you doing?" Where did it come from? Where to go? ”

There was no response to the shouting once, and Qin Yi shouted it a second time, and the majestic voice vibrated above the water.

Just as Qin Yi repeated it for the third time, he saw someone on the opposite boat take off his hat, and his beard was full of countless droplets, and then replied loudly:

"We are fishermen, and we came from the sea in the east, and I heard that there is a special kind of fish, and the black one has only one eye."

"What a mess."

When Qin Yizheng was wondering, he saw Xiahou come to his side with a huffing horse, and when he saw the black blindfold on his face, he immediately understood the connotation of the 'fisherman' on the other side, and said in his heart, You are really not good.

Xiahoudun held a knife and scolded at the other side: "You rats are playing tricks, when I don't know if it's Sun Quan'er's soldiers? What are you doing on the other side? Dare to come to the east shore and land. ”

"Blind, blind and not blind, are you teaching me to do things? There is a kind of swimming to the other side, I will let you have one eye, not let you have one hand, you come. ”

The bearded man on the bow of the boat sometimes covered his eyes with his hands, and sometimes hooked his hands to make a provocative posture, so angry that Xiahoudun's whole body trembled, and the mount under him was also restless.

Seeing this, Qin Yi hurriedly reminded: "General Xiahou, don't fall for the thieves' aggressive methods." ”

"Hmph, how could Ben have been tricked? Besides, this water is not easy to pass," Xiahoudun said coldly.

Qin Yi asked again: "Now that the thief is on the other side, we can't cross by ourselves without a boat, so what can we do?" ”

"The enemy doesn't move, I don't move, wait and see what happens, Sun Quan Xiao'er likes to use secrets, I'll have fun with him today." Xiahoudun remembered that Sun Quan burned green seedlings last year, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but rise.

"Yes."

Qin Yi clenched his fists and didn't dare to refute, and said in his heart that five thousand Cao troops were consumed with hundreds of people, and they were still facing each other in the rain, if they suffered from typhoid fever because of this, it didn't seem to be very cost-effective.

After all, there is a huge disparity between his status and Xiahou Dun, thinking of Li Dian being scolded in the city, Qin Yi can only accompany him to the river in the rain.

In order to restrain Xiahoudun, the 'fishermen' on the other side taunted a few words from time to time, and then took out a fishing rod and sat on the bow of the boat to fish, just like a group of fishermen in the black pit pan boss.

It is difficult to catch fish when it rains in spring, not only did the 'angler' on the boat not catch fish, but Xiahoudun must also be in the air force this time, because he fell into Chen Lan's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain.

After about two hours of confrontation, the drizzle in the sky slowly stopped, but it was still gray, and the cold wind on the river blew on his body, and many Cao soldiers shivered.

Xia Houdun was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, he faintly felt that he had been tricked, but after waiting for two hours, the rain stopped, and now he left a little disgraced.

Dismounted and shook off the rain on his clothes, trying to lighten some of the weight on his body, he suddenly heard Qin Yi's panicked shout.

"General Xiahou is not good, General Xiahou is not good"

Xiahoudun's face darkened when he heard this, remembering that he had reprimanded Qin Yi for this kind of thing, and said in his heart that this guy has no memory at all?

What does it mean that General Xiahou is not good? Isn't it good for General Ben to stand still?

The soldiers next to him made a way, Qin Yi walked through the crowd to the river, and his mouth was still repeating: "General Xiahou no"

"There is something to say, General Ben is very good." Xiahoudun's tone was deep, and the meaning of reproach was very obvious.

Qin Yi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly clenched his fists and reported: "Yes, yes, the last general made a mistake, General Li urgently reported, a large number of troops were found in the east of Shouchun City, and they went straight to your rice field."

"What?"

Xiahoudun opened his eyes widely, and scolded angrily: "Sun Quan'er, bully me too much!" I don't plant rice, he doesn't come, he just finished planting seedlings, and this guy actually came to make trouble again, it's unbearable! ”

"General Xiahou, are we going back to the army?" Qin Yi asked in a low voice.

Xiahoudun glanced at the other side, and as the spring rain slowly stopped, someone was slowly fishing, and he didn't even take the five thousand Cao Jun in his eyes.

"Jiangdong rats attacked the rice fields, Li Mancheng should send troops, right?"

"No, no"

Qin Yi shook his head lightly, seeing that Xiahou was obviously angry, he hurriedly added an explanation: "General Li said that there are too many thieves, and he is worried about the safety of Shouchun and does not dare to rashly go out of the city to defend against the enemy, please return to the army quickly and then make plans." ”

"Go back to the city and do it again?" Xiahoudun was stunned when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice: "If no one restrains me, how much rice will I have left?" How many people scared Li Dian like this? Last year, Zhang Wenyuan dared to charge Sun Quan so much that he dared to make a judgment against Li Dian. ”
