Competing

Chapter 97

"Crossing or not?" Su An opened his eyes wide and looked at Han Xin in astonishment, a little dazed.

Pu Jun was thoughtful, he was used to the unfathomable relationship between his general and Han Xin, so he didn't take it seriously, thinking about the cause and effect of the matter.Han Xin smiled without saying a word, just looked at Yin Xu, can we still have a tacit understanding this time?

General Yin grinned, stood up gracefully, walked to the river and said in a loud voice: "Crossing but not crossing, that's it! Pu Junjia sent sentry cavalry to investigate the movements of the Qin army, and Bozhou collected hundreds of ships along the river!"

"What is crossing and not crossing? If you want to cross the river, there are not enough boats? The Qin army is not far behind, and it is too late to search for boats? What's more, in a small fishing village, where can I find so many fishing boats?" Looking at Yin Xu, he felt that his general was a little embarrassing today.

"Why? Are you not happy? Do you feel embarrassed?" Yin Xu chuckled and stopped talking, while Han Xin just smiled and said nothing.

The "poor" Su Bozhou's eyes for help fell on Pu Jun. Pu Jun had a flash of inspiration, and he wanted to understand the key point. He finally understood, and said to Su An: "The general asked you to look for it. You can look for it. You won't be able to find it now." It doesn't matter, someone will find it for you when it's over, don't worry?"

"Who? Who can help me find a boat?" Su An still didn't understand.

Pu Jun patted him on the shoulder, pulled him by the arm, and said: "You are a ghostly kid on weekdays, what happened today? Let me tell you...some people are enemies, but they will always be enemies. They will be 'happy' to help you work." While speaking, Sheng Sheng pulled Su An away.

"Oh, I see, so it's like this..." Su An's suddenly enlightened voice came from afar, and Yin Xu and Han Xin stood by the river, looking at each other from a distance and couldn't help but smile.

Han Xin said leisurely: "The front is Dong'a, which is a big city in the Hebei area, and there is a ferry!"

"Yeah! Dong Yi must be more nervous than anyone else, let him go, I don't want to stay in Hebei to play with him! Wait for him to help collect ships, and go back quickly!" Yin Xu has been thinking about the south of the big river, Xiang The situation between Liang and Xiang Yu.They must also be thinking about themselves. They have been away alone for more than ten days.

Originally, the ferry to the south was occupied by Dong Yi, so he had to search again, but there were few boats on the banks of the Yellow River.I have been bitten by the Qin army again, and there is no time to search for ships, nor to cut wood for rafts.Those who crossed the south could only slow down a step first, and spent a few more days in Hebei with Dong Yi, and returned in a triumphant and aboveboard manner.

General Yin's order was issued. On the banks of the big river, the Chu army rushed into the fishing villages at the ferry, and unconditionally recruited fishing boats.Seeing that the food was taken away, the fishermen and boatmen were crying and unwilling, even holding the most basic weapons such as harpoons and sticks to resist.

Yin Xu's consistent style of work has never violated or disturbed the people since he started his family. He also had the experience of robbing the rich and helping the poor when he was in Peng Lize.But this time it was uncharacteristically, Yin Xu put his mind on it, and directly ordered Su An's troops to snatch the ship.Su An understood Yin Xu's intentions, understood Yin Xu's intentions, and his attitude was extremely arrogant.The fishermen with primitive weapons could not resist the Chu army, they could only continue to cry helplessly.

Yin Xu couldn't help sighing, although those fishermen were pitiful, he couldn't have any compassion.War is cruel, and the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If you are not careful, you will be lost forever.At this time, Dong Yi's army was not far behind, and searching for ships was of great use, and it was the most important and urgent task, so there was no discussion.

Although the fishing village by the river was restless and full of complaints, General Yin still retained some basic kindness.After all, there was no other looting, burning and killing.Do your best, and try your best.Su An has been busy for a long time, and after collecting a few villages by the river, there are only more than 20 boats, how can they be used by tens of thousands of troops?
In the evening, the sentry cavalry came to report, and the vanguard of the Qin army was only thirty miles away.Yin Xu sighed "helplessly", and led the troops to move quickly.Seeing this, the fishermen by the river shouted in their hearts. The goddamn soldiers finally left, and quickly came to the river beach to snatch their boats back.They thought it was all right, but this was not the case. It didn't take long for the sound of Qin Jun's horseshoes to break the tranquility by the river.The tiger is sent away, and the wolf comes again, and the people will always suffer.

It was Zuo Ming who led the vanguard of the Qin army to arrive. The last time he was caught by Yin Xu and Fan Kuai in Shanfu County, more than 4000 people were lost.Thanks to the personal soldiers who swore to the death to defend the breakout, they saved their lives. That incident caused Zuo Mingyi great shame and humiliation.He thought that if Fan Kui hadn't come that time, he would not have been unable to defeat Yin Xu, so he thought that if he had the opportunity, he would have to avenge his shame.

This time Yin Xu was so daring that he went north to attack the Puyang camp. Unexpectedly, he succeeded. He killed more than 4000 people and burned half a month's food and grass.It was too late when Dong Yi led his army back, so he immediately mobilized his troops to pursue them with all his strength.With such an opportunity, Zuo Ming, who had been low-key and disappointed for a long time, still hesitated, and immediately asked to go ahead, wanting to avenge his hatred.

Unexpectedly, Yin Xu stayed longer at all, and the success of stealing the camp was just leading the army to transfer, and did not take over the battle, so Zuo Ming was very depressed.He rushed to the bank of the big river in a hurry, but he didn't expect this guy to slip away.Want to pursue it... but dare not rush in.It was getting late, and the Chu army left in the dark. If he rashly marched in pursuit, it would be difficult to find the traces, and he would not be able to figure out the specific movements of the Chu army, and he might be ambushed.For the sake of safety, Zuo Ming had no choice but to temporarily stop, waiting for the arrival of the general Dong Yi.

At this time, the subordinates came to report: "General, before the Chu army left, they searched for ships in all directions."

"Oh? They want to cross the river and escape?" Zuo Ming suddenly became nervous, crossing the river to pursue would be troublesome.

The subordinates said: "That should be the case, but although there are fishing boats here, there are not many of them. The Chu army only snatched more than 20 boats, which is not enough. Our army followed closely. The army then escaped."

"Boat... It seems that Yin Xu really wants to travel south! Can it be so easy to go?" Zuo Ming snorted coldly, gnashing his teeth in hatred.

Before nightfall, Dong Yi came with his army, and Zuo Ming reported the news.Dong Yi was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said, "You mean Yin Xu wants to cross the river?"

"Yes!" Zuo Ming immediately launched a wonderful lobbying: "General, Yin Xu definitely wants to cross the south of the river and return. It's just that we have been chasing him so hard these days that he has no time or opportunity. Today he is so anxious to find a ship. , must be a little bit unbearable, the general thought that he would find another chance in the near future and return to the south with all his heart."

Dong Yi said angrily: "Killing our soldiers and burning our food and grass, how can we let them come and leave as soon as they say?"

"Isn't it? The general also ordered us to keep Yin Xu in Hebei!" Zuo Ming didn't forget to put some pressure on Dong Yi, and hurriedly proposed Zhang Han.

Dong Yi also held back his anger, so he would not let Yin Xu go easily, not to mention that Zhang Han was fighting fiercely with Qi Chu in the south of the river.It is absolutely not allowed to let Yin Xu, a troublemaker, go south to make trouble, let alone how to explain to Zhang Han, he himself will be ashamed.

Seeing this, Zuo Ming immediately hit the railroad while it was hot: "General, Dong'a is ahead, and it is also close to the big river. There are enough ships to be found at the ferry, so we have to guard against it?"

Dong Yi sighed: "Yes, the most urgent thing is to stop them in the north of the river, as long as they can't escape, there is a chance to destroy them."

Zuo Ming said: "That's right, the most urgent thing is to prevent them from crossing the river, the general will think that this boat is the key..."

"Vessels?" Dong Yi snorted coldly, and ordered: "Immediately send people to Solo's boats to guard the Dong'a Ferry, and don't leave a single boat for Chu!"

"promise!"
