The so-called "spring is cold, and freezing kills the young"!

Although after such a long time of food supply, everyone in the group training is not as skinny as when they first entered the camp, but on such a cold day and getting up so early, it still makes people miss the warmth in the bed.

Qin Lie looked at the soldiers on the deck who had just gotten up and washed, and turned to Zhou Bi and said: "I'm about to go to the muddy river in Wuwei Prefecture, not far in front of Tuqiaohe Town, tell everyone to wash up and enter the cabin, without my order, you are not allowed to come out again!" ”

Zhou Bi glanced at the flag bearer, there were two red and green flags on the flag bearer's side, the red flag went up and down twice, and the green flag left and right once.

As soon as the flag was issued, a loud noise was heard from a nearby ship.

The crews were busy washing up and quickly got into the cabin.

Qin Lie nodded with satisfaction: "It's already a ban, but it's still far away, Gongzi's letter is right, these soldiers, no knife head licked blood, after all, they are still useless guys!" ”

Two days ago, the will of the imperial court and Xu He's letter were delivered to the camp at the same time.

He was also followed by a man surnamed Sun of Yangzhou Wei, who was said to have an old relationship with Xu He and was very polite when they met.

When he took out the transfer order of the military department, Qin Lie didn't take this matter seriously at all, only looked at the transfer order, and threw it on the table.

Just when he was thinking about how to delay, he didn't expect someone from the military department to bring Xu He's letter.

With Xu He's letter, things will be easy.

When the messenger of the Ministry of War saw the attitude of these soldiers when they treated the official documents of the Ministry of War, they thought that they would waste their tongues, but they did not expect that the official documents of the Ministry of War were not even as useful as a letter from Xu Gongzi.

After the gang sent off the messenger, under Sun Yanshi's astonished gaze, it took only two hours to complete the preparations for departure, and soon boarded the flat-bottomed sand boat used by Yangzhou Wei to transport troops.

In fact, most of these ships are used more in the coastal areas of Songjiang and Shandong, and on inland routes, unless they are the imperial court's boats, they will use a small number of such offshore ships.

These ships were specially transferred to Yangzhou by Xu Song from Shandong for their use.

Because although Zhang Jingxian organized soldiers and horses to tightly block the Yangtze River waterway after serving as the Taibing Dao of Huining Chi, he also disturbed the anti-thief attacks on the Tuqiao River several times.

However, the losses of the thieves in the Tuqiao River were not very large, and these people could not resist the official ships because of the small boats, so they changed their tactics and no longer blocked the Yangtze River, but hid in the river channel on the north bank, using the narrow waterway and using the bows and arrows on the shore to support the fleet on the river.

Zhang Jingxian did not dare to go deep into the inland river because he did not have enough troops and had to be on guard against the enemy in Hefei at all times.

As a result, the officers and soldiers did not dare to go to the inland river near the Tuqiao River, and the anti-thieves did not dare to enter the river in a grand manner.

The two sides unanimously guarded their own one-third of an acre of land, waiting for the situation to change.

However, although these Tuqiao River thieves did not dare to enter the Yangtze River blatantly, they would still harass the river coldly.

And the Nixiaohe Town, where Qin Lie and the others are located, is actually in the south of Wuwei Prefecture, a large town by the river, and only more than 30 miles away from the Tuqiao River.

That's why he told the people not to go out of the cabin again.

Sun Yanshi, who heard the movement, hurriedly walked out before he twisted his official robe: "Zai Yan, what's the matter?" Is something wrong? ”

Zai Yan is Qin Lie's character, and this character was given to him by Xu He.

Fierce, fiery also.

Daya said: "Carry the burnt and carry the martyr." ”

Qin Lie is also a battalion officer now, and he often deals with outsiders, and it is definitely not possible to do it without words, so at Qin Lie's request, Xu He helped him to use the word [Zai Yan], naturally hoping that he would retain that state of aggression like fire.

Qin Lie was still very polite to Sun Yan because of Xu He's relationship, he arched his hand and said: "The fleet is about to cross the Tuqiao River, in order to prevent the sentry of the thieves, so I ordered everyone to enter the cabin." ”

After speaking, he looked at Sun Yanshi!

Sun Yanshi followed his gaze to his official robe, and sneered: "Don't be so nervous, right?" Doesn't it mean that the thieves have been driven to the river? At most, be careful when entering the river! ”

"We don't go to the inland river, we just go upriver on the Yangtze River!"

Sun Yan was stupid: "No, didn't you say that you would go to the muddy river?" ”

Qin Lie didn't bother to explain, stopped talking, and turned his head to look at the river!

Seeing this, Zhou Bi hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Sun, what Qin Jiang generally means is that the goal of going to the inland river is too big, the intention is too obvious, although the Yangtze River is going upstream, there are more ships coming and going, even if the thieves find out, they will mistakenly think that it is the imperial court's grain transport boat!" ”

The Ni Xi River mentioned in Sun Yanshi's mouth is a big river that originates in the Lujiang River and flows eastward until the Ni Xia River Town joins the Yangtze River.

If the strategic focus of Xu He's design is marked on the map, it can be found.

In fact, Hefei, Lengshuiguan and Lujiang are a straight line from south to north!

Lengshuiguan is in the middle of Hefei and Lujiang.

And the pincers of the other pincer offensive are the line of Wuwei Prefecture where the easternmost side of the Nixi River joins the Yangtze River.

The Tuqiao River, where the anti-thief water division is guarded by the water division, is in the middle of the Lujiang River and Wuwei Prefecture.

Therefore, the Nishan River is connected to the inland river near the Tuqiao River.

The route Qin Lie and the others had designed before were from the Yangtze River to Nixiahe Town, and then they would go west through the Nixiahe River, directly to Huangpi Lake, and then go north through the Lujiang River, and finally arrive at Lengshuiguan.

But yesterday, after the knife led people to explore the way, they found that the thieves also had spies on the muddy river, and they were obviously frightened by the Wuwei Prefecture garrison arranged by Zhang Jingxian, so they were very vigilant.

Therefore, Qin Lie made temporary arrangements to change the route of the march.

Fortunately, the ship arranged by Xu Song is a boat carrying grain, otherwise it would be really difficult to hide from the world!

After breakfast, the boats disguised themselves as required and continued westward......

Tuqiao River.

In a landlord's house, several people sit in the house.

On the main seat, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a dark and rough face smiled and said to the first young man: "Mr. Zili has long heard that he is good at music and rhythm, and he loves opera, especially the Yiyang dialect in southern opera, and he has studied it very deeply!" ”

The young man smiled and said, "It's just a little hobby in my spare time, it's nothing!" ”

The middle-aged man said: "I, although I am vulgar and unliterate, I also like the Kun dialect in the four major cavities of Southern Opera!" ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young man opposite Mr. Zili smiled and said: "Dad, this family originally raised a local opera troupe, and it just so happened that Mr. Zili had just arrived. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "This is a good idea, I just happened to have a discussion with Mr. Southern Opera!" ”

When the man named Mr. Zili heard this, his face changed slightly, and when he was about to refuse, someone suddenly rushed in.

"Turn, the brothers on the river reported that there is a boat from the imperial court heading west and is passing through our section of the river!"
