"The tide is flat on both sides, the wind is blowing and the sail is hanging!" Standing at the front of the boat, Luo Yang felt the gentle breeze blowing in front of him. It was a rare moment of elegance. It was a pity that he was surrounded by armored sergeants, and no literati followed Luo Yang.
Otherwise, Luo Yang would have to show off.
Looking at the calm river in front of him, he looked left and right at the sergeants beside him, but all of them had tense faces and were extremely nervous. Luo Yang, who rarely relaxed for a moment, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm talking about you! Isn't that right?
Are you here to explore the road? Do you need to be so nervous? Relax! Just relax!"
And when those sergeants heard Luo Yang's words, they all had wry smiles on their faces. How could they dare to relax? They were not nervous because of their duty to explore the road at all! They are all the best scouts in the Jingzhou navy.
, I have done this kind of pathfinding work countless times, why are I nervous? The person who is nervous is Luo Yang who is standing next to them!
This path-finding work is actually very dangerous, especially on the river. If you encounter an enemy army, it will be difficult to escape in a small path-finding boat! But the Jingzhou governor just left it alone.
I don’t have the opportunity to sit comfortably on a big boat at the back, so I have to come here to join in the fun! If something really happened, not to mention losing their lives, even their whole family would be in trouble!
Seeing these people still looking like this, Luo Yang could only shrug his shoulders, turned around, and happened to see Dian Wei who had just come out of the canopy of the boat. He immediately smiled and said: "Dian Wei, come and see this scenery!
Not bad! The scenery on the river is really unique!"
But at this time, Dian Wei had no intention of admiring the scenery on the river. He only saw a rare look of panic on his face, and his face was ashen. He carefully took a step forward, just on the surface of the river.
A small wave hit, causing the boat to sway slightly. Dianwei immediately swung his hands like a windmill, and finally just leaned over and lay on the deck without daring to move! Looking at Dianwei
Luo Yang couldn't help but laugh at Wei's appearance. Who would have thought that Dian Wei, such a fierce general, would actually be a landlubber! Not only that, Dian Wei was actually afraid of water to such an extent, which was really surprising!
Seeing Dian Wei's embarrassed look, Luo Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I mean Dian Wei! If you really can't do it, go back! It will be better on the big ship! I will have nothing to do here!"
Although Luo Yang had said so, Na Dianwei was lying on the deck, looking at Luo Yang with his head raised, and said: "I am the lord's guard!" This short sentence showed his determination, but
After saying this, there was another wave of langs, and the boat shook a little. Dianwei was so frightened that he hurriedly lay down on the deck and remained motionless!
Luo Yang shook his head helplessly. Dian Wei was really stubborn, but this in turn showed Dian Wei's loyalty. Forget it, let him go! Luo Yang no longer cared about Dian Wei, but
Turning back and looking ahead, there should be no problems along the way! Since the victory over Yuan Shu in the Battle of Nanyang, relevant intelligence has proven that Yuan Shu really went to Yuzhou after being defeated in Nanyang. Why?
At this time, Luo Yang also immediately raised 30,000 soldiers and horses, mobilized all the large ships of the Jingzhou navy, set off from Jiangxia, and went directly down the river, preparing to invade Jiangdong!
Facts have proved that the strategy proposed by Guo Jia was completely correct. In less than three days, the brave soldiers arrived in Huangzhou and Wuchang. Luoyang sent Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, each with 3,000 soldiers and horses.
Capture these two cities. With the bravery of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, these two cities can be easily captured without any effort! After capturing the two cities of Huangzhou and Wuchang, the next target is Peng Ze!
Pengze is also a big city, not comparable to the previous Huangzhou City and Wuchang City. According to intelligence, there are even more than 4,000 defenders in Pengze City! However, as Guo Jia analyzed, although Pengze's defenders were early
He heard that Jingzhou sent troops, but he was afraid of the reputation of the Jingzhou Navy and did not dare to go out of the city to intercept them on the river! Thinking of this, Luo Yang couldn't help but smile. If there was a water war, the Yongzhu Army has not yet completely integrated with the Jingzhou Navy, and there is no decent
The strength of the naval force. But when fighting on land, with 30,000 brave soldiers, plus Huang Zhong and other powerful generals, are you afraid that you will not be able to capture Pengze?
"Hey! Stop the boat in front of me!" Luo Yang was just thinking about it. Suddenly, a loud shout came from the front, interrupting Luo Yang's sweet dream. The boat Luo Yang was riding also stopped suddenly and stood there.
Luo Yang, who was in front of the boat, almost fell headlong into the river! He finally managed to stabilize his body, and all the sergeants around him ran to Luo Yang. Some drew their swords, some raised their swords, and a few were behind Luo Yang.
The bow and arrow were drawn! Even Dian Wei, who had been lying on the deck, could no longer care about being afraid. He pulled out the iron halberd from his waist and ran in front of Luo Yang to protect him!
Luo Yang raised his head and looked ahead, and immediately grinned. He saw four or five ships lined up on the river in front, blocking the river firmly. If these were all military ships.
, I am afraid that Luo Yang will immediately order to turn the bow of the boat and run away! But these boats blocking Luo Yang's front are all light boats, and two boats are even more dilapidated than the boat Luo Yang is riding in! Look at the boats again
All those standing were shirtless men, holding weapons such as harpoons and clubs. Luo Yang had already guessed the identities of these ships. They were just a group of water thieves!
"Listen to the boats in front! We follow the rules! As long as you obediently send some tolls! We will never harm your lives!" Seeing Luo Yang's boat stopped, the water thieves in front seemed to be very satisfied with the effect.
, continued to shout at the top of his lungs.
"Lord! What should we do?" A captain of the Jingzhou navy standing next to Luo Yang asked Luo Yang cautiously. He also saw that the other party was just a group of small water thieves. If it were normal times, he would have
So he ordered to rush over! These little water thieves, even though there were more boats than them, were simply vulnerable to regular water forces like them! If it weren’t for the necessity of investigation, the flag of Jingzhou Navy was not hung.
I'm afraid these little water thieves don't dare to show up at all! But it's different now. Luo Yang is on this boat, and these Jingzhou navy soldiers don't dare to risk Luo Yang's safety!
Luo Yang smiled faintly and glanced at Dian Wei standing in front. He saw that Dian Wei was fully focused at the moment and had temporarily forgotten his fear of water. Luo Yang raised his head again, thought for a moment, and suddenly shouted
He said: "Heroes in front of you! I just don't know how much it will cost you to pay for the toll?"
"Ah?" Luo Yang suddenly said this. Not only were the people around Luo Yang surprised, but even the water thieves on the boats opposite were a little surprised. I saw a light boat on the middlemost boat.
The burly man with arms and whiskers looked confused and asked another companion beside him: "Old Jiang! What do you think the people in front are doing? It doesn't look like they look like that.
Are you so easy to talk to?"
The companion of the sturdy man was not in bad shape either, but his face was fair and square, and he looked more gentle. He touched his chin without a beard, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let brothers
Be careful! Look at the guards on the other side's bow. They are well-trained. They should be from some kind of business! These profiteers are more cunning than the last! Let's not fall into their tricks!"
"Businessman?" The burly man couldn't help but twitch his lips, hey, and said with a smile: "Isn't that a big fat fish? Hehe! Who cares about their treacherous plot! If they dare to do anything, I will kill them all with one knife.
Cut it off!"
But the fair-skinned man glared at the burly man and shouted: "You idiot! I know how to kill people every day! Haven't you heard? The Jingzhou army is almost here! After this vote,
Let’s withdraw as soon as possible! Don’t let those Jingzhou navy get in trouble! We can’t afford the Jingzhou navy to take advantage of our little possessions!”
Although the sturdy man was much larger than the fair man, he listened to his companion's words and nodded hurriedly and said: "Old Chiang! You are right! Okay! What should we do next?
"
The fair-skinned man raised his head, stared closely at the boat in front of him, and finally shook his head and said: "It's impossible to make them put down their weapons! Let's do this! Let's send someone to their boat to pay the toll! If they pay it honestly! We will
Let them pass! If they want to play any tricks! We will drop anchor and sink them!"
"Hehe!" The fair man's last words made the sturdy man's eyes light up, and he immediately shouted: "Okay! Just let me go!"
The fair-skinned man glanced at his companion and didn't object much. He knew his companion's abilities, but he was afraid that there would be no more than ten people on the Yangtze River who could play tricks with his companion on the water! Besides, don't
This sturdy man seemed carefree, but he was very proficient in water. If something really went wrong and he jumped into the river at worst, the other party would definitely not be able to do anything to him! Immediately, the fair man asked his subordinates to pack up a small boat and give it to the sturdy man.
The big man then shouted loudly to the front: "If you abide by the rules! Prepare three thousand dollars to pay for travel expenses! Give it to our brothers! After paying the money, we will naturally let you pass!"
After the fair man said this, he made a gesture. When the sturdy man saw it, he immediately held up the bamboo pole and rowed towards the light boat in front. At the same time, the water thieves on several other boats also
They are all on guard and ready to deal with any situation that may occur!
