"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

It was getting dark, and several clippers were moving through the wilderness.

Huang Chengyan worriedly opened a roll of oilcloth, on which the terrain and town distribution of Jiangxia were drawn, he used his hand to draw on the drawing, and pointed to the front and said: "There, a little further ahead, there is a village!" ”

The torches were inconvenient to light at night, and the young general Cao Zhen looked forward, but he didn't see anything, and said disdainfully: "Uncle is really kind, the brothers have fought for a day, and they have to save people." It's all water, where to save it! ”

Huang Chengyan sighed, he was old, his eyesight was not as good as Cao Zhen, and when he looked forward, he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't help but be even more anxious.

Could it be that this village is also ......

Cao Zhen dragged his fat body, knocked on the bow of the boat with his sword, made a dang sound, and shouted at the same time: "Dahan Cheng asked us to rescue the flood, is there anyone in front of me who can kick the air?" ”

This arrogance, unlike rescue, is obviously charity, Huang Chengyan is displeased, knowing that he and Cao Jun are two people after all.

As he was shouting, a female voice suddenly sounded in the bow of the boat.

"Over there, there's someone!"

But it was Big Joe, dressed in men's clothes and wearing a veil, who was talking.

Cao Zhen looked at her a few more times, and couldn't see anything special about this woman, he only knew that this person was taken care of by his uncle.

After seeing Cao Wu blocking the river embankment retrograde, Cao Zhen admired Cao Wu very much, since it was arranged by his uncle Cao Wu, he took care of it, but this woman was commanding and always loved to give orders, which made him dislike.

He impatiently commanded the ship and headed in the direction that Da Qiao Qingyu was pointing.

There was an old tree here, but there was a faint cry for help, a small voice, a child calling.

"A-Niang, A-Niang, someone is coming......"

Cao Zhen shone the torch first, only to see a little girl on the old tree, holding a thin branch, crying to herself.

The branches were too thin to bear the weight of the child, so Cao Zhen looked down and was startled.

In the water, a ball of black hair was exposed there, and after carefully identifying it for a long time, it was realized that it was a person.

Cao Zhen immediately looked up and down with a torch before finally figuring out the situation.

It turned out to be a mother and daughter hiding in a tree, and the water was getting higher and higher, and finally it did not reach the woman's body, and the woman lifted the child up, with only her head exposed.

Da Qiao shouted softly: "Save people!" ”

Cao Zhen thought about it, he was taken aback by Da Qiao, and when he turned around, he saw a pair of firm eyes, knowing that he didn't have to obey Da Qiao, but he saw a kind of majesty from her, and still sent people to save people.

The soldiers helped each other to save the little girl first, but they didn't pull it.

It turned out that her aunt was still holding the child and refused to let go.

Cao Zhen frowned, he personally went to probe the woman's snort, and was shocked: "Dead? ”

"Dead and dragging the child?"

The soldiers were also taken aback.

Huang Chengyan reacted, silently broke the woman's fingers, and carried the little girl onto the boat.

The little girl was happy to see the savior, but she found that no one was going to save her mother, so she struggled and shouted: "A-Niang, A-Niang, save A-Niang!" ”

Da Qiao sighed and was about to come over to say something, but Cao Zhen had already taken the child.

He hurriedly said: "It's okay, my uncle also saved my father and mother when I was a child...... But fortunately, there is a father-in-law......"

Halfway through his speech, he felt that such a little bit was not comforting, and he couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks anxiously.

Cao Zhen's original surname was Qin, and his father died to save Cao Cao, so he was accepted as a righteous son by Cao Cao. The loss of a loved one at a young age was a pain in his heart.

People are not sages, just now I was thinking about rescuing him uselessly, but now I see the same bereaved child, how can I not feel nostalgic, and a hard heart has become melted.

In the end, Da Qiao took the child over, held it in his arms, and comforted him.

When she looked up again, she found that the mood of the soldiers on the boat had changed.

Cao Zhen rescued the woman's body and confirmed that she was dead, so he unwillingly put it aside.

Although Cao Zhen was young, he was used to seeing corpses on the battlefield, and when he saw this person's stiff arm, he was still in a bad mood.

This woman may have died a long time ago, and on this flooded winter night, that little bit of cold clothing could not stop the bone-chilling cold after all.

At the last moment of her life, she couldn't wait for any miracles, but left the chance of life to her children.

The stiff arms, holding the child, waited for the rescuers.

"Iniquity!"

Huang Chengyan turned his back and lived in seclusion all his life, but after all, he couldn't be too forgetful, and tears flowed from his cloudy eyes.

Cao Zhen raised his sword, cut a gap in the side of the ship, and said sharply: "Zhou Yu'er, when my Cao Zidan steps into Wu County, I will take your head!" ”

Da Qiao's heart "chuckled", and the guilt had filled her heart.

Before the battle, Zhou Yu asked her many times, saying that there was a plan that hurt the peace of the heavens, and whether it could be used.

At that time, she only thought that this strategy was aimed at Cao Jun, and she didn't think much about it, but now that she thinks about it, hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangxia were affected by the disaster, and there was actually her reason.

couldn't help resenting himself, and he was also angry with Zhou Yu, and his heart that was originally firmly thinking about the Sun family in Jiangdong gradually became cold.

Cao Zhen raised his sword again and said: "Everyone, listen, everyone is really tired today, but the matter of saving people, 100,000 urgent, everyone bear with it again, listen to Mr. Huang's instructions, and save more people, okay?" ”

The soldiers looked at the dead mother, each remembering his own family, and shouted, "Oh! ”

……

During the day, Zhou Yu's 2,000 remnants passed through Xiakou from the Yangtze River and saw the tall city of Xiakou.

In order to guard Xiakou, Liu Bei has been preparing for nearly two months, and when Zhou Yu passes by, he can still see the busy figure on the city wall.

However, Zhou Yu's fleet crossed the Xiakou and continued to move eastward along the Yangtze River.

Ling Tong walked over and asked puzzledly, "Governor, why don't we go to Xiakou to rest?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head: "The river will eventually flood Xiakou, which is already a dead city. However, it seems that Xuande Gong should be able to hold on for more than a year, and the timing of Jiangdong's turnaround depends on Xuande Gong. ”

Ling Tong looked at the Xiakou city wall that was getting farther and farther away, his eyes narrowed.

His father died in the battle against Jiangxia, and now he finally killed Huang Zu and Cao Cao, Jiangxia was only occupied south of the Yangtze River after all, and north of the Yangtze River, it seems that he still can't get it.

10,000 of the most elite sailors went out to fight, and now there are only these left, he was resentful in his heart, and said cruelly: "Now Jiangxia is a country, so that Cao Thief knows that the Jiangdong Army is not easy to mess with!" ”

"Exactly!"

Seeing that Ling Tong could carry it clearly, Zhou Yu nodded approvingly.

Ling Tong asked again: "Then why don't we go to Jiangnan and rest at General Boyang's?" ”

General Boyang is Sun Ben who is stationed in Chaisang, Chaisang and Nanchang, the cities south of the Yangtze River, are all good, they have not been flooded, and Chaisang was an outpost when he conquered Huangzu in the west, and it was a big city, enough for them to supply more than 2,000 people.

The morale of their remnants was already extremely low, and even the brave Ling Tong felt that he needed to rest.

But the second location he mentioned was still denied by Zhou Yu.

"Let's not go to Chaisang, go to Hefei!"

Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Hefei?"

Ling Tong Daqi, he is Zhou Yu's descendant, he has been fighting with Zhou Yu, and everything is for Zhou Yu's sake.

Hefei is Cheng Pu's war zone, and the lord Sun Quan is also there to supervise the battle, and the last time they received news from Hefei, Hefei City has not yet been attacked.

As a veteran, Cheng Pu is not convinced by Zhou Yu, and now that Zhou Yu has been defeated, isn't it humiliating to go to Hefei?

Zhou Yu nodded: "Go to Hefei." Before the flooding, Xiakou City could not be defended at all, but now that the Cao army has been frustrated and its morale is also low, Xiakou can drag on for a year and a half. Tell the lord about this, so that the lord can strengthen his confidence and be sure to take Hefei. In this way, the Cao army attacked Xiakou, let's take the opportunity to take Jianghuai, lose the west and take the east, wouldn't we have the capital to seek the world from scratch! ”

"What the Governor said is very true!"

Ling Tong was overjoyed and bowed to the ground, Zhou Yu was defeated but not discouraged, and he was still thinking about seeking the world in his heart, so how could Ling Tong not admire.
