Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 728

Yangluo Town is already very dilapidated, but the location is important, and there are seven or eight shops and inns for the guests to rest.There are hundreds of people in Orihiko, and the small town can't provide what they need. Most of them cook on the boat.Only Orihiko brought guards, and a few boatmen went ashore.

Not far from Orihiko's fleet, a small boat docked at the corner of the pier.The two men got off the boat, turned their heads to look at Zhe Yanzhi's boat, and whispered: "Zhi Niang, if the people on the boat don't come down, it's hard to get news."

Another man said: "As long as you look at that zheducheng! Whichever store he enters, we will enter whichever store."

After finishing speaking, the two of them wandered around the town leisurely.His eyes fixed on Orihiko.Seeing Orihiko entering a dumpling shop, the two looked at each other and followed.No more shopping, straight into the dumpling shop.

This dumpling shop has not been open for a long time, and it is operating like it was under the rule of Xiangyang.In recent years, Xiangyang has developed well, and surrounding states and counties have followed suit.

The store is very small and there are no booths.Orihiko sat at a table with the guards, and the boatman sat at the next table.

The two men sat next to Orihiko, looking at the menu on the wall.

The boy came over and said: "This is the first time for a guest officer? Our shop is opened after imitating the dumpling shop in Xiangyang, and it is the only one around. And there is a lotus root dumpling, which is not available in Xiangyang, and our shop is the only one. "

A man said: "Then let me have a lotus root dumpling, and a leek dumpling. By the way, there is fresh fish, make one."

The boy said: "The store is next to the Yangtze River, so how can there be no fish? Our place is not far from Wuchang, and the most famous one is Wuchang fish. It's just right for the guest and officer to have a steamed Wuchang fish. They are all from Xiangyang. The method learned is the most delicious."

The man said: "Okay. Let me have two dumplings and one Wuchang fish. You can make it faster, we have to hurry."

Gao claimed in the mouth of the servant, and ran away.

The man looked coldly at Orihiko.The guards had already brought out the wine and ordered a few cold dishes, and Orihiko ate it unhurriedly.

Not long after, the dumplings that Orihiko asked for came up.Orihiko said: "We won't be resting in Tuanfeng Town at night, you should eat more. After passing through Ezhou, we will reach the boundary of Jiangzhou. The river is not peaceful, so we should be more careful."

After hearing this, the two men looked at each other, each tacit understanding.Zhe Yanzhi is not resting in Tuanfeng Town, the news should be reported to Xu Wen as soon as possible.

Not long after, the servant brought up the dumplings.

A man said: "We have to rush on the road, let's wrap it in a lotus leaf. By the way, wrap it like a fish."

The servant agreed, and quickly took a few lotus leaves and wrapped the dumplings for the two of them.For shopkeepers, this is common and not uncommon.

Not long after, the fish was wrapped and brought over.The two men counted the money, held it in their hands, and left the shop.

Walking to the street, a man said: "Zhiniang thief, they don't stay in Tuanfeng town, things are not easy to handle. Let's go, tell Xu Tongzhi, and make preparations early. Once Zhe Ducheng is released, the crime is not small. !"

While talking, the two quickly returned to the boat.Untie the cable, hang up the full sail, and go straight downstream.

The sentinels arranged by Xu Wen on the sandbar were long awaited.Seeing a small boat on the river heading straight for the sandbar, he said happily, "It must be the brothers of the Wu family who have returned!"

As soon as the two men landed, they were brought in front of Xu Wen.

After paying a salute, Wu Dalang said: "We can hear clearly that Zhedu will not stay in Tuanfeng Town. According to him, he will have to travel all night to Jiangzhou, and he will not go ashore!"

Xu Wen nodded, did not speak, and was thinking there.After a while, he said: "Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou have been away from Ezhou for several years, and this area has long been in disarray. Even if the two of them are driven away, how can they settle down for a while? Fortunately, I guessed that Song Jun might Check out the water situation in this area without going to the shore. Well, you two go to collect the reward money and go to rest."

Seeing the two leaving, He Ning asked anxiously: "Guan Zhi, Zhe Yanzhi will not rest in Tuanfeng Town, so things will be a bit difficult to handle. Tuanfeng Town is [-] miles away from Huangzhou. If there is a favorable wind, it will take less than two hours." .According to the current weather, it was just dark at that time."

Xu Wen stood up, looked into the distance, and said loudly: "The great river goes east, and the waves wash away. He is a romantic man through the ages. To the west of the old base, the human way is, Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. Layman Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou. He wrote this poem. Chibi Nostalgia is a famous article. It’s just that the Red Cliff in Huangzhou is probably not where Zhou Yu broke Cao Cao. Dongpo Layman just said that humanity is true, it’s just a legend. Someone read this poem and said that this is it. It’s not a joke!”

He Ning wondered, "Why did Tongzhi suddenly mention Dongpo's words?"

Xu Wen turned around, looked at He Ning and said, "The Red Cliff in Huangzhou is not necessarily where Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao, but it is where we took the artillery! On the Red Cliff, there is a Qixia Tower, which is the highest place in Huangzhou. Today At night, I will be on the Qixia Tower, watching you come back with the cannon!"

He Ning suddenly realized: "The control means that it is going to be done in Chibi?"

Xu Wenzhong nodded emphatically: "That's right! Zhe Ducheng won't rest in Tuanfeng Town, so it will be night when we arrive at Chibi. Now there are less than a hundred soldiers in Huangzhou City, and they are nearby heroes who have surrendered. Their leader is the Patrolman. Inspect Lu Xingchun. I have already made an agreement with him, after we seize the cannon, we will go north with us. Tonight, Lu Xingchun inspects and seizes the city, and we will seize the artillery!"

After hearing this, He Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that the control has already thought of a countermeasure! Ori Yanzhi is still running away!"

Xu Wen smiled, turned around, and looked at Dajiang not far away.

If Orihiko stopped resting in Tuanfeng Town, things would not be so easy to do.Hundreds of his subordinates were not so easy to deal with when they landed.But on the water, Xu Wen was not afraid of them.For a person who is used to fighting in the water, Xu Wen has many ways to do it.

If Orihiko is really careful, he should keep the boat from going too far from the shore, and go to the shore to rest as soon as it gets dark.Instead of walking in the center of the river like this, rushing day and night.The vast river seems to be empty, but in fact it is full of dangers.Especially at night, for people like Xu Wen, they can come and go freely.

Born in Fuzhou, he mostly served as an official in the north, and Orihiko was not familiar with waterways.In Xu Wen's view, his arrangement was full of flaws.

During these days in Tuanfeng Town, Xu Wen didn't spend every day nestling on the sandbar.He has already found out the situation nearby.Even the gangs of thieves around were persuaded by him, and wanted to follow him to enjoy the blessings.Orihiko decided to sail at night, how could he escape Xu Wen's plan?
