Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 431 An accident begins!
Jiangling City, also known as Jingzhou City.It borders the Yangtze River in the south, the Han River in the north, Bashu in the west, and Hunan and Guangdong in the south. It is known as the "thoroughfare of seven provinces".

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this place was the capital of Chu State.During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Jingzhou was as famous as Jiankang (Jinling) at that time, and had the reputation of "Jiangzuo big town, no better than Jingyang".

On this day, the boat that Su Chen was on arrived at the waters around Jiangling.

Sure enough, there was a patrol boat of the Song Army, who gathered around and boarded the boat for inspection, to see if there were any important people on board, or military supplies, etc.

The Song army was about to use troops against Bashu, so the river area was blocked, but anything related to the war, such as food, weapons, herbs, salt, etc., was not allowed to enter Shu.

Only some luxury goods, such as pottery, silk cloth, silk and bamboo musical instruments, wine, etc., can be released.

The ship's handle on the bright side of the big ship took out some silver taels to pay the tolls for the Song army patrol, and it was released after there were no major problems in the inspection.

From the beginning to the end, Su Chen, Meng Xuanyu and others didn't show up, they just stayed in the cabin, allowing the soldiers of the Song army to check the cargo inside and outside the ship, and then passed through the blockade area.

"It went well!"

Meng Xuanyu found Su Chen, showing a slight smile.

"The next stop is the Three Gorges area, the Kuizhou area. The terrain there is dangerous and it is still guarded by our Shu army. When we get there, we can park in the middle of the river and resupply in Baidi City!"

Su Chen said: "Well, I have no objection, these are all arranged by His Highness."

Meng Xuanyu nodded slightly. For some reason, when he was in front of Su Chen, he always liked to ask Su Chen's opinion, and he almost formed a habitual reflex.

In the past, Meng Xuanyu prided himself on his talent and was a little conceited. Most people looked down on him, but now he is moved by Su Chen's talent and a little impressed. Therefore, he often comes to ask his opinion and listen to his suggestions.

Meng Xuanyu suddenly thought of something, and said worriedly: "The land of Jiangling is all the newly built naval forces of the Song Dynasty. I saw some military camps, and there are already a lot of warships. I can't help but be unfavorable to the Shu Kingdom in the future. Even the Tang Kingdom will become their target. "

Su Chen nodded, and said in an affirmative tone: "That's right, that official in Song Dynasty's determination to unify the world has not changed."

Meng Xuanyu asked with some doubts: "Does the Song Dynasty really have a chance to change the chaotic situation of the past century and realize the unification of the Central Plains?"

Hearing this, Su Chen pondered for a moment, then sighed: "The possibility is very high, but it is also full of accidents!"

What exactly was this accident, he didn't say it directly, if there was, the biggest possibility was himself.

If the Kingdom of Shu is not destroyed, the strategic plan of the Great Song Dynasty to unify the South will be delayed!

After Zhao Kuangyin was assassinated by his younger brother, that Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne with only a momentary ambition, and then he used troops improperly and lost successive battles.

Therefore, Su Chen's countermeasure is to drag it on!
The longer it is delayed, the more opportunities there will be, and the more accidents will happen.

.........

As night fell, a round of crescent moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight shone lightly on the river surface, a piece of silver, sparkling and extraordinarily gorgeous.

In the middle of the night, there was silence, only the continuous sound of the rolling water of the river, and occasionally the sound of apes and wild beasts on both sides of the river.

Su Chen put his arms around Peng Qingqing's waist, sitting on the top of the boat, admiring the moonlight and the river water!
A feeling of spring river flowers and moonlit night!
Facing the scenery of nature, Su Chen couldn't help touching the scenery to express his emotions, and said with emotion: "The sea rises and the moon rises, and the world is at this moment!"

Peng Qingqing said: "This is the river, not the sea! Don't think I don't understand if I haven't been on a boat before!"

Su Chen said in embarrassment: "I know this is not the sea. This is a general reference. Back then when the great poets wrote poems, they didn't write facing the sea. Literature needs empathy and romantic exaggeration!"

Peng Qingqing groaned, smiled and put her head on his shoulder, calmed down, and enjoyed this intimate and warm feeling!
After a while, Peng Qingqing suddenly raised her head, opened her eyes, and there was a look of vigilance from the bottom of her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Su Chen looked at her.

"Shh!" Peng Qingqing put her finger to her lips and made a silent movement, but her fair ears began to twitch twice.

"There is a sound... In the northeast direction, three ships approach from a hundred meters away, two small and one large, with murderous intent!"

Peng Qingqing became cautious.

Su Chen was startled, he followed Peng Qingqing's gaze to the northeast direction.

Under the night, there was fog on the river, and the three large and small ships had not yet appeared, but the black object could be observed to be moving.

"They don't have an open flame, they are approaching sneakily, they must be uneasy and kind, and they must immediately notify the crew to take precautions!" Su Chen trusted Peng Qingqing's hearing, because in terms of martial arts, he was far behind Peng Qingqing.

Peng Qingqing said: "You go to the cabin and call for someone, I'll wait and see here!"

"Then you pay attention to safety!" Su Chen nodded, no longer procrastinating, directly jumped off the splint and entered the cabin.

Peng Qingqing looked up at the sail, then jumped halfway up the pole, and looked down at the ship

At the same time, Su Chen had already explained the situation to the patrolling guards at the sentry post in the cabin, and told them to take good precautions, and a boat was coming to the front.

Meng Xuanyu was startled, walked out, and asked, "Brother Chen, what's wrong?"

Su Chen replied: "There is an unknown ship approaching, and there is no open flame, so I'm afraid there are other plans!"

Meng Xuanyu was a little surprised and said: "There is still this thing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sentry outside the cabin start shouting.

"The ship ahead, who is coming!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The only response was a cold arrow.

"There are cold arrows, dodge!" Peng Qingqing shouted to remind.

Thanks to Peng Qingqing's loud reminder, the sentry guards on the splint and the top of the cabin evaded in time and were not hit.

At this moment, the two ships were approaching, shooting cold arrows, and at the same time setting up a rope ladder to climb onto the big ship.

The person who originally planned to sneak attack in the dead of night was discovered in advance, and the plan failed, only baring his fangs and fighting with each other.
