[69 Book Bar-www.] After the food was solved, our speed of traveling was much faster. The empire was based on the river, with the north and the north, and the 19 provinces in total, and Tianshui Province was the first in the territory.
The province is more than 700 miles north and south, and because of the unpredictable climate, the mountains are extremely steep and the customs of the people are extremely fierce. It is known that "the sky is not clear, the earth is not flat, and the people are not peaceful." Fu Duncheng, the capital city, is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Jian was the most powerful city when the Emperor won the country. The Emperor attacked Fu Dun and suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties. It took more than three years to conquer it. Later, the Emperor ordered all cities in Tianshui Province to be too brave,
The city walls must not exceed five zhang. However, even if the city in Tianshui Province is not more than five zhang, its defense is not much weaker than that in other places, which is more than ten or twenty zhang high.
We entered Tianshui Province on the fifth day. On the ninth day, in a heavy rain, we arrived in Wendang County under Fudu Prefecture.
There is a big river in Wendang County, which is a tributary of the river. As for tributaries, this river is wider than the main trunk. When the emperor won the country, because Fuduncheng was indestructible, he first cut off the wings of east, west, south and north, and finally besieged Fuduncheng.
The battle was to build a shipyard in Wendang County, and set off from here for fifty buildings. We walked along the way and happened to arrive at the ruins of this shipyard.
On the riverside, there are still some sheds, but there are still some beams and pillars. This Tiexue River has accumulated the water volume of dozens of rivers around it. Once the rainy season in spring and summer, the water will rise sharply. Now the beams and pillars are everywhere.
They were all standing in the water, like the skeletons of some giant beasts. They were too old and even the wood turned black. In the heavy rain, each straight pillar was shiny black, like a cast of solid iron. The heavy rain poured down
Down, thunder rolled over the air from time to time, which was the first thunder in spring.
We held the umbrella made under the guidance of Xue Wenyi, and looked for a road that could not be seen clearly in the rain in a mess. Fuduncheng was the first big city we could reach. Before Wuhou's southern expedition, Tianshui Province had already done its own way
We have been fighting for nearly a year and have a very small population. We have never seen a single person in the past nine days. Instead, we have passed many villages that have been slaughtered, with messy corpses piled up inside, which is like walking through the ghost realm.
Some of them were done by the bandits who took advantage of the chaos, and some of them were probably done by us. After the southern expedition, in order to obtain food along the way, Wu Hou ordered that all those cities that were holding on to the ground would be killed within two hundred miles of the city that had been defending and surrendering.
No one left. I don’t know how many people there were in Wendang County before, but in Tianshui Province, where the fiercest fighting, it is possible that there is not even one person in the county now.
Because Xue Wenyi couldn't do it himself, those umbrellas were made very rough. It would be easy to deal with if it was light rain. In such a rainstorm, it would be useless. When the banana leaves on the umbrella were torn apart by the wind and rain.
, The rain kept falling. Tianshui Province was known as "the sky is not clear", and the province is also called "Tianshui". In fact, it was named because of the lot of rain. When we marched south, we passed by Tianshui Province, which happened to be the dry season, and we have never experienced it.
The weather is so powerful. I was so dizzy that I was hit by the rain on the road. I just wanted to find a place where I could temporarily settle down. However, by the river, the trees are mostly sparse, and the trees that grow are lonely.
.When we were in the military academy, we had been taught that we would marching outside the wild. If we encounter thunderstorms, we should not camp under the lonely tree, otherwise the thunder would hit the big tree.
I held an umbrella, but the umbrella had been beaten to no avail. I held it just to protect the can of fire that I carried. Although the can of fire is also covered with banana leaves, I am really
I was afraid that I would be destroyed by the rain, so I just used the broken umbrella to block it desperately.
Wu Wanling dragged Xue Wenyi and walked beside me. He shouted: "Commander, look!"
With a flash of lightning, I saw a wooden house on a slope in front. I said, "Thank God. General Wu, be careful, I'll go over and take a look first."
I handed the fire pot to Zhang Longyou on the other side. I was about to walk forward, suddenly, a woman screamed in my ear. I turned my head and saw a woman slipping into a ditch next to me.
She was struggling to climb up, but the rain loosened the soil, so how could she catch it?
The water in the ditch was level with the road surface, so the woman probably didn't pay attention and slipped in.
Fortunately, it's not her.
As soon as I turned to this thought, I suddenly felt a chill in my body. I shouted, "Stand it!" Without waiting for someone else to say anything, I jumped down.
The water in the ditch was deep enough to reach my chest, of course it was my chest. The woman was probably at the neck, and she struggled in panic. She had swallowed two sips of water and was about to sink.
The water was flowing very fast. As soon as I jumped into the ditch, I felt like my body was being pushed hard by someone, and I couldn't stand firmly. I took a deep breath and walked towards the woman. At this time, she had lost her balance.
It sank, leaving only one long hair floating on the water. I saw it, grabbed her hair and pulled it over.
As soon as I grabbed her, Zhang Longyou got a branch from somewhere and reached it towards me. I grabbed the branch with my left hand, loosened my right hand, and hugged the woman's waist. Fortunately, she was lighter in the water.
Many, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold her at all.
Pulling the branch, I held the woman with one hand and pushed her ashore. After sending her up, I also climbed ashore and said, "Is she okay?"
After Zhang Longyou dragged the woman on, he knocked her on the back. She vomited a pool of water with a "wow" and looked very upset, but it seemed that nothing serious was wrong.
Zhang Longyou murmured: "It's fine, it's fine."
I smiled slightly. This woman was the one who was very close to Zhang Longyou. Maybe Zhang Longyou liked her too. I was covered in mud and water, and I felt very uncomfortable, and said, "Let's go there together."
Wu Wanling said: "Commander, is it all over?"
"It's a blessing or not a disaster, it's a disaster that cannot be avoided. It's up to fate. If there is a snake man in the room, we can't escape it."
As I said this, I suddenly saw her gaze. She was no longer so cold when she looked at me, as if she was a little gentle. Seeing me looking at her, she lowered her head, as if she was a little shy. She had always been as cold as ice,
It makes people feel inaccessible. At this time, I was soaked in the rain, which makes me feel more approachable.
We approached the house. There was no light in the house, so I wonder if there was anyone. When we arrived in front of the house, Wu Wanling said, "Be careful, the commander-in-chief and I will go in and take a look."
After he said that, he looked at me and I nodded. At this time, among the eight of us, only Wu Wanling and I were the only ones who had the power to fight. If there was really an ambush, we would not be able to escape.
Wu Wanling and I walked to the door. I pulled out the Baipi Knife and knocked on the door with my left hand. At that moment, I suddenly seemed to be back in Gaojiu City.
When I first met the Snake Man, it was almost the same as now. That time, I had Qi Lie and ten centurions under my command, and it took a lot of effort to deal with the Snake Man. When I thought of this, my hands were also
I stopped and didn't dare to knock it down.
Wu Wanling didn't have the same concern as me. He saw that I was not moving and said, "Commander, what's wrong?"
I reached out and wiped the rain from my hair, saying, "It's nothing. Pull out the knife, be careful."
He nodded. I looked at the people behind me again, and finally knocked heavily.
The door made a clear sound as I knocked on. This old wood almost looked like metal after knocking on it, and it looked empty in the rain. However, as I knocked on it, I pushed the door open a crack.
This door is not bolted!
I jumped back suddenly, and Wu Wanling didn't know what happened, so he jumped back suddenly. But he didn't jump farther than me, so he was in front of me.
As soon as I jumped out of the eaves, the rain immediately poured over my head, and my mind felt cold. Only then did I know where I was and I couldn't help but laugh.
I'm really a little suspicious.
The door was opened with a crack, and it was still dark inside. I stretched out the Baipi Knife, pushed the door hard, and the door opened.
Because the windows were all closed, it was still dark inside, but you could vaguely see the tables and chairs inside, but there was no one. I walked up carefully and said, "Is anyone?"
Wu Wanling also came over. He carried the can of fire from Zhang Longyou. I said, "Look, has the fire been extinguished?"
He pulled open the cover and looked at it, "Fortunately, the charcoal inside is still burning."
That was what Zhang Longyou thought of. After simmering dry firewood into charcoal, put it in a jar. There is a small hole under the jar. The ash after the charcoal is burned out can leak out, and the air can also enter so that the charcoal fire will not be extinguished.
.We have kept it like this since the fire was set.
He took out a small stick made of dry leaves from his arms, pricked it in the charcoal fire, and immediately fell on his head. He blew hard and immediately a flame jumped out.
That was also the solution that Zhang Longyou thought. He was a very strange method and it was quite practical. Originally, dry leaves were difficult to roll, so he picked some thick fresh leaves and rolled them down and roasted them dry by the fire.
It is like turtle velvet. Such a fire head can blow out the fire with force.
Once there was a fire, the things in the house appeared in front of us as if they suddenly jumped out. The room was very small, with only a broken couch and two broken chairs inside. It seemed that no one had come for many days.
I carefully checked the room and looked at the top carefully, but there was still no one to see.
"Come in."
When I said this to the few people outside, they immediately cheered.
