Chapter two hundred and twenty second indispensable person
"I can't!"
"I really can't do it anymore!" Lao Shen wanted to sit down, but the two brothers Liu Yu refused to let him go.
He had to half pile and half stand, just barely.
"Go and do your business quickly and leave me alone!"
"I really can't run anymore, don't let me miss you!"
To say that this person is annoying, it means that he has an annoying aura from top to bottom all the time. Police Shen is such a person.
When the two teams separated just now, Liu Yu persuaded him nicely and asked him to follow the people of the fort. He was also an official of the imperial court and an important figure in the Beifu army. With him watching over the people of the fort, he could always help them. Build a strong momentum.
His old man Shen refused to listen and insisted on following Liu Yu and the others.
It's okay now, I really can't keep up with the team.
Tan Pingzhi didn't care. Anyway, he had already said it before. Instead of getting behind the tower and causing trouble to his old Shen again, it would be better to throw him away now.
"Ji Nu, I think this is good."
"How about letting Shen Canjun find a place to take shelter here first? It's better than letting him take risks at the front."
"Brother Tan is right."
Liu Yu hesitated for a moment. Behind them, the team led by him was already in place, waiting to continue marching.
Time is money, time is opportunity.
Obviously, the soldiers could not bear such dillydally.
Suddenly, Liu Yu remembered Wang Mi's words. Shen joined the army not to fight in the city, nor to set fire to Di Qin's warships.
He just wanted to see his spies.
If so, there seems to be no reason for them to throw him away.
"Lao Tan, please work harder, let's take him with us!"
As he spoke, Liu Yu knelt down and whispered in Officer Shen's ear: "Shen Canjun, the magic teller in Xiangyang City is the spy you installed in the city."
"You insist on following us, do you want to see him?"
Officer Shen's expression froze. He never imagined that Wang Mi would actually tell Liu Yu such an important matter.
"really."
"I have this intention, but your march is too fast and I really can't catch up. Now it seems that I can only find another opportunity."
The so-called finding another opportunity is naturally Lao Shen's excuse. In fact, he knows very well that if he wants to meet the fortune teller, this is the best opportunity.
Once they formally fought with the Di Qin army in Xiangyang City, it would be difficult to open the gate of Xiangyang City. Hearing that the fortune teller was injured, Old Shen could not sit still.
He was eager to understand the situation of the fortune teller, but Wang Mi also made it clear that day that the situation in the city was getting increasingly tight. Even the fortune teller himself could not leave the city. If he wanted to meet him, he would be the only one to meet him.
Besides, he had another thing here that he had not told them. He was still waiting to see the development of the war ahead before deciding whether to speak.
"Shen Canjun, since you really want to meet, there's nothing to say. Just stand up and come with us!"
"Is this... what you are saying is true?" Officer Shen's eyes widened. He didn't believe Liu Yu's words at all. He swallowed, feeling that after taking a short rest, his strength had recovered a little.
"of course it's true."
"You have followed us all the way here, and we are about to succeed. How can we leave you behind!"
"Shen Canjun, get up!"
“It’s not a good place to stay for a long time!”
Behind them, soldiers followed in a steady stream and were about to form a small queue. Any stagnation or gathering outside Xiangyang City in this treacherous cloud would be quite dangerous.
Liu Yu ignored Police Shen's chirping and forcibly pulled him up. In order to see the fortune teller as soon as possible and confirm his safety, Police Shen also worked harder on himself.
Liu Yu simply adjusted the formation and regrouped the soldiers who were chasing him. Time was tight and he couldn't do it uniformly. He could only give a rough idea.
After that, he led his most trusted group of soldiers, pulling Police Shen along, and moved forward quickly.
…………
On the other side, outside Xiangyang City, at the intersection of Han River.
The long and deep Han River flows through Xiangyang, and then turns a small and medium-sized bend outside Xiangyang City. This small turning does not make the water more turbulent and full of dangers. On the contrary, it makes the originally high wind and waves more dangerous. The Han River became calm.
This turning point is affectionately called the turning point by the people of Xiangyang City. When the river reaches here, it will turn around and flow into the distance again.
As for this small return mouth, because the curvature is not large and the water area inside the return mouth is relatively open, the Han River flows here and becomes quite gentle.
Over time, a small harbor has formed here. Whether it is the ships patrolling the Han River or the giant building ships that have spent a lot of money and a long time to build, they are all docked here.
The superior conditions of neither wind nor waves make it very safe for warships to dock here, without the need for continuous iron cables.
Even the soldiers of Di Qin, who were not good at water fighting, could walk freely on the wet deck without worrying about shaking or seasickness.
With such a unique place, any general with eyes and brains would choose it as a docking place for warships.
Not counting the large ships, there are hundreds of small warships docked near the return entrance, which is really quite large.
With so many warships docked at a fixed place, Fu Rui was also very worried about their safety. Not only was it an attack by the enemy, but the soldier who was not long-sighted and thoughtless would have used an open flame to let the warships escape. Any mistake will have unimaginable consequences.
As a result, Fu Rui not only strengthened the patrols on the river and along the river, but also deployed a lot of extra manpower near the return entrance to take charge of security.
Not only that, he also set up two small sentries at the entrance to the back entrance, allowing nearly a hundred Di Qin soldiers to be stationed here for a long time.
He also added double-layer fences around the entrance and return entrance to resist possible attacks from the enemy.
With these rigorous preparations, Fu Rui can rest easy.
He confidently and boldly had fun in Xiangyang City, and was very happy. However, he forgot one thing. If the general is lax, the soldiers he leads will never be energetic.
You, General Fu, have ways to have fun, and we soldiers also have ours.
At three o'clock in the morning, another group of soldiers jumped onto the deck, with satisfied smiles on their faces and bulging bags in their waists. As they jumped, their waists made a jingling sound, which was quite clear.
"Shedi, you made a lot of money today!"
Hu Si pointed at the visitor's waist and laughed.
The team leader named Shedi patted his chest and felt very proud.
"That's natural. I've been very lucky these days. When this luck comes, I can't stop it!"
"You guys are still far away!"
"Shedi, although Xiangyang City is calm during this period, you should be careful. I heard that those wimps in the Jin army have been very restless recently."
The good brother won money, so Husi was naturally happy for him, but he still didn't forget to give him a warning.
