At dawn, scolding sounded everywhere on the wide river, and before yesterday's lock on the river, the merchant fleet, which had not had time to clear the customs, rushed to raise the red lantern on the mast, and today they had to rush to inspect the goods and release them early.

More than 3,500 people in the broken barracks were on 13 multi-masted sailing boats, and the sailors were urgently dispatched by the military department to disguise themselves, and nearly 5,000 people were crammed into the 13 boats, and the goods used to disguise their identities were bags of military rations. Entering the water surface of Qili County, the East China Sea Army has been on the ship several times to check, Gao Yuan Za stepped forward to deal with it, there are no prohibited items on the ship, the only suspicious thing is that the number of guards is a little large, the little boss with a good silver ticket heard the impatient scolding of the noble lady in the cabin, nodded and withdrew, the inspection is just a formality.

"Captain, you seem to have known that there will be no strict investigation along the way?" Mei Ruoxue couldn't help but ask out loud, but Gao Yuan answered the question: "The proud army will be defeated, many elite battalions are invincible on the battlefield without fear of death, but in the end they are defeated in inconspicuous details, a scout is lazy, a sentry leaves the post, and a petty officer who loves money and women, all these seem to be indifferent, and they are enough to destroy an elite army in wartime." ”

Sailing on the water, two meals in the morning and evening, the dawn has begun to show that the smoke has dissipated, the sailors are busy checking the sails and wood pulp, the officers see the red flag raised on the Takagaki ship, and quickly enter the cabin to order to prepare for the battle, and the sergeants who have been holding back for more than ten days begin to sort out their armor and ordnance.

The sun rises, in the riverside water village, more than a dozen strong men shake the iron wheel, on the surface of the Qinghe River, two sections of iron cables slowly sink, and when the iron cable sinks to the bottom of the river, the passage of the waterway will be opened.

"Hang the signal flag, let Li Zihui pretend that there is something wrong with the ship, and the fleet will stand by. ”

When the anchor was lifted, two ships in the fleet collided together, the angry shopkeeper jumped and scolded on the deck, carrying a whip in his hand, the sailors were busy on the deck while dodging, and there were merchant ships not far away, and the peers were enemies, gloating and smiling, the shopkeeper was blushing and scolding, throwing away the whip and standing on the side of the ship to scold him, a sharp East China Sea dialect.

"The military department really bothered, and I don't know where to transfer the black label chief, captain, you go up and take a peek. ”

Mei Ruoxue hid behind the pile of people and watched it from a distance for a while, then returned to the cabin and said, Gao Yuan's words of scolding reached his throat and forced himself to hold back, looking at the map with a cold face, Mei Ruoxue realized that she had made a mistake, and after standing up, she admitted her mistake and asked for it, Gao Yuan raised her head and couldn't bear to be harsh, along the way, the captain of the guard was fed up, first seasick and then learned to paddle, and had to pretend to be a noble lady to deceive people.

"Go and signal that the female soldiers don't have to go on the boat and pretend, and you change your clothes, the white dress is too eye-catching. ”

Mei Ruoxue entered the rear cabin, changed her clothes and was about to go out to give orders, Gao Yuan glanced at it and frowned and said with a wry smile: "Blame me, I just said to borrow a few clothes, alas, you are wearing a cloak outside, this one is more conspicuous." Before leaving, I learned that Mei Ruoxue had no civilian clothes except for military uniforms, Hua Yue and Yu Wenjie were similar to her, and they changed into military uniforms and lent her dresses, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

The sun has risen, and the navy on the river has been inspected much stricter than before, and the silver has been checked according to the goods, and the treasurer has been secretly informed when he enters the cabin, don't blame the brothers, the captain will come to inspect in a while, and leave as soon as possible, so as not to confiscate the goods.

The black flag sent a signal, and the sailors circled around the fleet several times, seemingly suspicious. ”

"It's not that the navy is suspicious, Captain Fang is testing my kung fu, telling the boats not to move, just saying that the principal is on our ship and will check the ship. ”

On the lookout platform of Shuizhai, Fang Zhenhai looked at the thirteen multi-masted ships in the river from afar, transporting at most one battalion, Li Changgong lied to him last night, saying that the broken military camp and the Xiaocai battalion were in the fleet, and the naval army was tens of thousands of people, so he didn't have time to investigate carefully at night, and rushed to the morning with half a doubt, and now he couldn't wait to whip Li Changgong.

After stepping down from the lookout, the captain of the guard stepped forward to report: "Captain, the fleet in the river hit the boat when it was anchoring, and I didn't notice anything abnormal. ”

"I didn't board the ship to check, I felt normal after a few glances! Let's go, Lao Tzu will check it himself, if there are prohibited goods, you kid will inevitably be beaten with a military stick." ”

Fang Zhenhai shook off his stride and walked to the dock, and before boarding the boat, he turned around and shouted: "Let's go together, so as not to speak ill of Lao Tzu at the prince's place in the future." Two officers who seemed to be the captain of the standard ran over, and one of them stood next to the boat and laughed: "Captain, if you don't go under the standard, haha, who dares to go wild on the surface of the Qinghe River." Another captain ran quickly onto the boat and said with a sneer: "Captain, I will accompany you to go around, I haven't been on the boat for a few days, do you want to bring a few jars of wine?"

Fang Zhenhai took refuge in the bidding battalion, and the king of the East China Sea was very important on the surface, supplementing the two standard water army, and also handed over the important task of defending the barrage iron cable, but actually took the opportunity to transfer him out of Binhai City, an important place. Tens of thousands of troops from the East China Sea entered Qili County in the west, upstream of the barrage and iron cable, and there were elite sailors left behind in Binhai City, and the standard camp was sandwiched between the two armies, and if there was an abnormality, it could be wiped out in a few days. The two standard commanders sent to monitor knew that they were usually not too embarrassed, for fear that Fang Zhenhai would really have a different intention to take the two of them to sacrifice the flag, of course the two would not board the ship at the same time as him, and one of them had to be left on the shore just in case.

"No cowards, Lao Tzu wants to betray the prince, just the two of you can see it, if you want to drink, get out, don't get on the boat, don't break Lao Tzu's military regulations." ”

Fang Zhenhai transferred over, did not hide his dissatisfaction in front of the people, felt that the king of the East China Sea did not trust him, sent hundreds of thousands of people to the front to fight and make a fortune, and left all the standard battalions in the rear, the task of each battalion is idle, the words reached the ears of the king of the East China Sea, someone admonished him to get rid of him, the prince laughed, transferred from the prosperous place to sit on the cold bench, he is more suspicious if he has no complaints, he wants to make a fortune by the way, okay, reward more silver taels, send people to pass the word, guard the barrage rope, after the battle to give you a corps commander to reward a few islands, the prince will not treat the fierce generals who will fight。

The two standard commanders who monitored Fang Zhenhai got the news and opened their brains, surveillance is surveillance, don't mess with him, if you really want to raise troops to rebel, the brothers slipped away as soon as possible, and then led the army to clean him up after going back to report the news, and they were not afraid of making trouble in the children's camp in Donghai County, in fact, they were all surrounded in disguise.

"Captain, I won't go when I sign it, come back quickly, and drink tonight." ”

"Don't drink in the camp, if you don't have good wine at night, don't say that Lao Tzu won't give you face. ”

Fang Zhenhai stood at the bow of the boat and cursed, and with a wave of his hand, several small boats drove away.

"Hey, Lao Tzu thought he wouldn't steal fishy, see no, there is a woman in the guard, no wonder he suddenly has to inspect today. ”

"Brother, don't be too smart, who doesn't want to get involved with the female soldiers of the standard battalion, many captains are stammering, just turn a blind eye in the future, and don't make a big mess." Go, he takes the woman to fool around, the brothers drink and go, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. ”

Successfully getting rid of the standard commander who was surveilling, Fang Zhenhai pretended to inspect a few merchant ships, collected the silver ticket and instructed the captain of the personal guard: "Let them check the scattered ships, you send someone to check the large fleet, hehe, if you have nothing to do in the future, you will come to make a fortune and divide it with those two goods." ”

After checking a few more boats, Fang Zhenhai waved his hand, and the small boat rowed towards the flotilla docked in the river, and went down to the cabin after a circle on the deck, and Gao Yuan was already waiting by the gangway to greet him.

"Captain Gao, don't drag Lao Tzu to death, say, what do you want to do?"

Mei Ruoxue made a good tea and held it over, Fang Zhenhai looked at her a few times, Fang took the teacup, and looked at Gao Yuan's eyes a little unkindly, she should be killed if she raised a woman from the county lord, and she didn't forget to bring it before the battle.

Gao Yuan was more relieved to see that his expression was not good, and he was loyal enough to Dugu Ying, and hurriedly explained: "Captain, don't think crookedly, I don't want a female guard captain, sent by the military department, dare to disobey?"

"Captain of the guard? hehe, Lao Tzu understands. Fang Zhenhai thought that Dugu Ying had sent him to spy on Gao Yuan, so he smiled apologetically at Mei Ruoxue and said, "Please report to the county lord, Fang Zhenhai will never betray the empire." ”

"Leave under the mark. ”

When Mei Ruoxue came out of the hatch, Fang Zhenhai's expression was full, and he asked in a low voice: "What are the arrangements of the county lord?" Gao Yuan didn't answer and asked: "Captain, can you control the standard camp?" Fang Zhenhai sighed and said: "It's difficult, the king of the East China Sea doesn't turn his face, the loyalty of the apprentices to the empire has nothing to say, you have seen it in the grassland, and now the situation is not conducive to the empire, many people will inevitably have ideas." ”

"What about the other standard camps and children's camps?"

"I can't count on it, it's all seeming, even if they are loyal to the empire, the real combat strength of each battalion is only the guard standard and the three patrols who are about to graduate, and the other cadets are still children, so they can't be pulled into the battlefield. ”

The situation is similar to what was expected, the Donghai County Boy Boy Battalion is difficult to come in handy, and can only focus on the strength of the nine standard battalions, if they can successfully converge, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but Gao Yuan is never willing to burden the children of the standard battalion.

"Captain, just let me go smoothly, the boy camp can't be moved, in case it provokes the killing of the East Sea King, the children will suffer. ”

Fang Zhenhai nodded, the rumors were not credible, Gao Yuan had not forgotten his background as an orphan soldier, he changed his tone: "Others can't be moved, a few standard camps that have taken refuge in the East China Sea King can be tried, and they will not affect the children who stay in the standard camp, but I don't know whether they are sincere or not." ”

"Lieutenant, don't contact him, lest people betray him, you will soon know my mission, after getting the news, if possible, lead the troops to come closer, if you can't expect to meet me within three days, don't act rashly. ”

Fang Zhenhai's face was full of bitterness, he looked at Gao Yuan and sighed: "The war is not good for the empire, but I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, how can I meet the county lord in the future?"

"Captain, the two sides have used millions of troops in Donghai County alone, the royal family will not easily stop the army in this battle, you also know the temper of the county lord, she came to the east to command the army, and the same as the grassland, it is not the goal to divide the victory and defeat, the royal strategy of cutting the domain, the king of the East China Sea will bear the brunt. ”

"It should have been like this a long time ago, I won't ask much about your mission, don't worry, I will meet you as soon as possible, and when it is really difficult to arrive, I will also watch the barricade and prevent it from blocking the way of His Highness's march." ”

Gao Yuan thought about it and reminded: "After I started, my whereabouts were exposed, and the king of the East China Sea must inquire how to pass through the barrage, and the captain must have an excuse to get out." ”

"I'll find a way to deal with it, I can't stop any longer, so as not to arouse suspicion, the female soldier brought by Li Changgong, don't show up more in the future, I'm afraid someone will remember it when I come." ”

"Then you go back-"

"I'm afraid that the family will know that it is fishy, and if you kill it and throw it into the river, you will let Lao Tzu have to bear a bad name again, I am gone, don't show your face." ”

Fang Zhen's sea boat shouted a few times, took his personal guards to the passage place, hung the signal flag on the Gao Yuan ship, and thirteen multi-masted ships successfully passed through the barrage iron cable, until he couldn't see the shadow of the sail, Fang Zhenhai took people ashore, and did something to the empire, and the guilt in his heart could be somewhat reduced.

"Mei Ruoxue, transfer the female soldiers who went ashore with Li Longbow, and secretly send people to monitor, I wanted to kill people and give you a chance to let her live. ”
