Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 184

"That's good. Didn't Da Ya tell us the secret of crossing the river? Why don't we go across the river first, then go to the garrison on the other side, and use the secret of crossing the river to bring them here. Although the river with low water level is not It’s huge, but it shouldn’t be a problem if [-] soldiers come over within two quarters of an hour.”

Tan Hai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and quickly proposed excitedly.

"Wow! This idea is very good, very good, so it's decided!" Xiang Dong exchanged a knowing look with Yun Wu, and said with a smile.

Relieving the heavy burden in their hearts, the three of them bypassed the city gate, turned into a secret path, performed lightness kung fu, and rushed towards Tongtian River quickly.As for the horses, the three of them had long since found a hidden forest and tied the horses under a big tree with lush grass.

Not only that, the careful Tan Hai also extended the rein of the horse several feet, so that the horse can eat grass far away and drink the stream not far away.I believe that even after a month, the horse should not starve to death, but is still alive and kicking.Nowadays, it is not easy to buy a good horse. When the three of them return, it is not a solution to travel without a horse.It's not a problem to walk such a long distance with two feet.

In the middle of the night, the three of them guarded the section of the road that Shui Qingqian said, and sure enough, the river suddenly dropped.At a glance, the water level on the river about three feet wide is very, very low.The water is clear and shallow, and they really didn't lie to them!

"Hurry up and get into the water as fast as you can. I don't know how long this can last! The faster the better, don't let up!" Xiang Dong made a decisive decision, rolled up his trousers, and went down into the river first.

Before a quarter of an hour came, all three of them crossed the river smoothly.

After crossing the river, the three of them did not leave, but sat on the embankment, waiting for the result.All three wanted to confirm how long the water level drop could last?And observe, what will happen to the situation on the other side of the river?They swaggered over like this, would anyone notice?

A quarter of an hour passed, and sure enough, the river quickly returned to normal with lightning speed.On the other side of the river, there was no movement from Duke Huai's people, not even a patrolling person was seen.

"Well, from this point of view, even if the army crosses the river, Duke Huai's people should not find out!" Yun Wu nodded in satisfaction, feeling extremely excited in her heart, imagining that she led the army to repel the people of King Huai, and then The scene of the happy reunion with his younger brother Yunshan made a happy smile appear on his face.

Xiangdong nodded, feeling extremely excited, and said happily: "On the other side of the river, there is no Huaiwang's army stationed within five miles around here. If Lan's army keeps quiet when crossing the river, it should be There will be no problem! Moreover, the river where the water level will drop is much wider than I expected. There will be no problem at all if 1 people come over within 2 minutes! If you choose some elite soldiers, it will be arranged when crossing the river If it’s good, maybe [-] people can cross the river smoothly!”

Tan Hai also nodded happily: "It would be great if 2 people could come here! The Huai army besieging the city is only 3 people, and these people have been besieged for so long, and they have long been tired and slack off. If In the middle of the night, [-] elite troops suddenly attack, and the Huai army will definitely be unable to stop it, and it will be defeated!"

"That's right, let's do it! It's not too late, let's go to the nearest military camp and ask to see the general there!" Xiang Dong immediately made a decision, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and ran forward at high speed.The nearest garrison general to Tong Tianhe, coincidentally, happened to be Master Qiao's second son, the mighty general Qiao Anguo!

The three of Xiangdong inquired around the garrison, and learned that the general of the garrison was Qiao Anguo, so Xiangdong couldn't help raising his head and laughing: "Haha, God helped me!"

Both Yun Wu and Tan Hai were puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Xiang Dong said with a smile: "This mighty general is Qiao Junyi's younger brother. I know him! Moreover, this man is upright and courageous, a good man with responsibility!"

"Oh, so that's the case, that's really great!" Yun Wu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

The three of them came to the gate of the barracks, and secretly handed over one or two taels of silver to the soldier guarding the gate to the east, and asked respectfully: "Brother, we are here to see the mighty general Qiao Anguo, please pass it on to us. Just say that Rao is asking Dongdong to see you!"

The soldier happily put the money next to his body, and asked suspiciously: "Do you know the mighty general?"

Xiang Dong nodded with certainty: "Yes, I'm an old friend with him! Not only that, I also know the general's father very well, and I'm also an old acquaintance with his elder brother! Moreover, I'm also the man who is standing on the opposite side of the city. My lord's cousin! Don't worry, as long as you say my name, he will promise to meet me!"

"Oh, so this big brother is Mr. Rao's brother? It's easy to say, easy to say! Please wait a moment, the younger one, and report to the general!" Xiaobing was very excited when he heard this, and his attitude became extremely respectful at once. .Immediately explained to another soldier guarding the gate, he ran away in a hurry and reported.

On the other side of the river, Mr. Rao's elder brother, who is sticking to the city, naturally cannot be negligent. The isolated city on the other side of the river has the ancestral home of the Qiao family, as well as a large number of real estate and shops.Once it falls, it will fall into the hands of the enemy, and there will be no tiles left.Therefore, the general took the initiative to ask Ying to come here to garrison, always looking for an opportunity to fight over, and completely relieve the crisis of the isolated city on the other side!
Today, Lord Rao's family came to find the general from the other side of the river. This is a big deal, maybe they came to inform the general!
Xiaobing thought all the way to the big tent of General Wuwei.The military camp was located on a piece of wasteland, surrounded by green bricks in an open space of about five acres. Except for the wounded ward and the war room, which were built with green bricks and tiles, all the people lived in tents.

"What? Rao Xiangdong is here?" Qiao Anguo was surprised and happy when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Please hurry up!" Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "No! I'll go to greet him myself!"

The soldier's eyes widened in surprise: General, the general actually went to meet that Rao Xiangdong in person?Whoops, this is a rare thing, you know, even the general's own eldest brother came, he didn't go out to greet him!
Qiao Anguo came to the gate of the barracks in stride, and said with a smile from afar, "Oh, you're coming to the east, welcome!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiang Dong lowered his voice and said to Qiao Anguo: "I have something urgent to tell you, please find a quiet place."

"Okay, let's go to the war room!" Qiao Anguo agreed, and quickly led the three of them to the war room, and ordered his two most trusted bodyguards, one to guard the door and the other to patrol the war room, Keep people away.

Fortunately, he was vigilant enough, otherwise, the conversation between him and the three of Xiang Dong would be very likely to be listened to by spies.In that case, it would be too bad, and the battle across the river would not be able to achieve unexpected results.

A few people sat down at the table, and they went straight to the point: "General Qiao, I know a wonderful way to cross the river, and I can help you get there!"

Qiao Anguo immediately asked excitedly: "What can I do? Tell me quickly!"

"Every day in the middle of the night, at a location twenty miles away, the water of the river will drop right down to the calf. Moreover, this situation can last for as long as two quarters of an hour. This time, the three of us just seized It only took a quarter of an hour to come from the opposite bank at this time!"

Before Xiang Dong's words fell, Qiao Anguo laughed foolishly with joy. This laughter was unprecedentedly crazy, full of strong joy and passion.

"Xiangdong, you are really my lucky star! You came very well and in time! How about you go to my camp to rest for a while, and I will have someone prepare meals and hot water for you. You have worked hard all the way, so take a hot shower Take a bath and have a good meal. I will now select [-] elite soldiers and generals, and fight across the river in the middle of the night to take down all the [-] besieging enemies in one fell swoop!"

Qiao Anguo laughed out loud like a child, the majesty of the general in the past was gone.The three Xiangdong felt a little strange, thinking that he was not dignified enough, but if Da Ya was present, they would definitely laugh it off.Qiao Anguo was only 25 years old. In his previous life, he was just a big boy who had just graduated.People who have just stepped out of school are actually naive in many ways,
Of course, people in this era are relatively precocious, and there are many people who become grandfathers at the age of 30.It's just that, in Da Ya's cognition, there are actually very few mature men at the age of 25.Even if you get married at the age of 15, many people are still very naive when they are in their 20s.Lack of responsibility, lack of determination, lack of responsibility.

Qiao Anguo is very good, he laughed out loud, in Da Ya's opinion, it is really a trivial matter.Keeping a straight face all day long and laughing casually doesn't mean that such a person is very mature and not ridiculous.

Closer to home.

The three of Xiangdong showered and changed their clothes, and after having a warm meal, they slept soundly in Qiao Anguo's tent.When I woke up, it was already dark.

The three walked out of the tent, Qiao Anguo was walking over from the war room with a smile on his face, seeing the three woke up, he quickly smiled and said: "Xiangdong, Yunwu, Xiaohai, dinner is ready, let's go eat together! After eating, let's set off, and the dry food is prepared for you, enough for five days of chewing!"

Xiang Dong couldn't help asking: "How many days have you prepared the dry food for the soldiers?"

"Three days!" Qiao Anguo said with a hearty smile.

It is proposed to go east to prepare dry food for the soldiers.Moreover, after crossing the river, in order to hide their whereabouts, it is not easy to light a fire and cook for a while.In fact, Qiao Anguo felt that it didn't matter whether the dry rations were prepared or not. He was confident that the battle would end tomorrow morning.However, Xiangdong's proposal also makes sense, so be prepared.

"Well, three days is enough. After taking Fucheng, you can send people over to deliver food. Anyway, there are still [-] soldiers left here. In addition, I see a lot of wasteland nearby. Although it is not fertile, it can be reclaimed. If you come out to plant sweet potatoes, you can still have a good harvest! There are many soldiers from farming families in the barracks, I suggest that those soldiers who are elderly or not very strong go to farm." Xiang Dong kindly made a suggestion.

"What? Let the soldiers go to farm? Is this appropriate?" Qiao Anguo was a little surprised. Although the words were interrogative, he already had a little bit of agreement in his heart.He had actually thought about this question before, but it was just a flash of thought, and he didn't think about it deeply.

Xiangdong nodded vigorously: "It is to reclaim a military farm that belongs to the military camp. In this way, no matter what time it is, there will be no shortage of food in the military camp. When there is no need to fight, if it happens to be in the busy farming season, those who are strong Soldiers can also take turns to help plant and harvest."

"This idea is really good, did you come up with it yourself?" Qiao Anguo's interest greatly increased, and he asked enthusiastically.

Shaking his head to the east: "Da Ya came up with this idea, saying that this is called going to the fields in leisure time, killing the enemy in wartime, and using the fields to raise soldiers. Those old, weak, sick and disabled who have heroically killed the enemy in order to defend their home and country on the battlefield, It’s good to have a place to go, so that you don’t have to leave the army because you can’t go to the battlefield, causing many people to be displaced and have nowhere to go!”
