Competing

Chapter 98 Timely Rain

The Chu army left, and the simple fishermen just got back their boats, thinking that everything was in peace.Unexpectedly, wolves left at the front door, and tigers came at the back door. The Qin army who had just arrived was even worse than the Chu army. Not only did they rob ships, they also robbed the few catties of corn they had saved with great difficulty. Qiao girl was also harmed by Qin Jun.

Although Zhang Han was rigorous in running the army, this Qin army came from Lishan prisoners, all of them were desperadoes, and their nature was hard to change.The poor people could only lament and cry, watching the Qin army drag away the small fishing boats they depended on again.

This is the case in the Dong'e area, along the entire river, and countless families have been destroyed as a result.When Yin Xu heard the news later, he sighed unceasingly. Speaking of which, the incident was also caused by himself, and the situation forced him to do so, but there was nothing he could do.It is in response to the old saying that it is better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in a troubled world. Only hope to rule the world sooner and end the disputes in this troubled world, so as to return the peace to the people.

Zuo Ming excitedly came to report to Zuo Ming: "General, all the boats along the river have been confiscated, and they are mainly gathered at the two ferry crossings near Dong'e to ensure that Yin Xu has no boats to use."

Dong Yi nodded in satisfaction: "Deploy defenses along the river to block Yin Xu's way. I will personally lead the army to pursue."

While Dong Yi and Zuo Ming were gnashing their teeth, Yin Xu was hiding in the forest near Dong'e.

Dong'e is located at the junction of Qi and Zhao, on the bank of the Yellow River, and not far from the east is the majestic Mount Tai. The low mountains and forests in the territory are undulating, providing a convenient hiding place for the Chu army.Yin Xu's impression of Dong'e is mainly based on two points. The first one is the talented Cao Zhi, who was once named the king of Dong'a.There is also Dong'e Ejiao, which is a well-known tonic in later generations.

Yin Xu and the others were hiding in the woods, and Pu Jun, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came over and brought the latest news: "General, the Qin people collected all the boats by the river, gathered them at the two ferries outside Dong'e City, and sent troops to guard them. Yi himself led his troops to approach from the northwest side."

Just as Yin Xu was about to speak, the sentinel escorted a person over and reported: "General, during the inspection around the perimeter, I found out that at this time, I am afraid that a spies from the Qin army will be arrested. He claimed that he was sent by a friend of the general. Please, general?"

The captured "spies" is a middle-aged man, Kong Wu is powerful, calm and indifferent, with a resolute expression, revealing a prudent and shrewd all over his body.

"Are you here to look for me? Who sent you here?" Yin Xu asked solemnly while asking a lot.

The visitor replied: "I have seen General Yin, my master's surname is Fan!"

A beautiful figure appeared in Yin Xu's mind, and with a thought, he waved back several Chu soldiers, and said with Duanshui in his hand, "Come, talk here!"

Han Xin and Su An were at a loss, but Pu Jun only guessed that it should be the Fan family who were rescued by Peng Lize back then.When dealing with the besieged Qin army in Peng Lize that day, thanks to Fan Qing's help, he was able to survive the most difficult period.It also allowed them to see the magic and energy of the Fan family. At this time of crisis, the Fan family appeared again like a dragon without a trace, and Pu Jun was inexplicably excited.

When Han Xin and Su An asked, Pu Jun just smiled and said, "Don't worry, good news!" The eyes of the three fell on Yin Xu and Fan Jialai.

There was no one at the edge of the woods, Yin Xu stopped and asked, "Are you from the Fan family? Who sent you here?"

"Yes!" The visitor clasped his fists and said, "I'm here on Miss Yilan's order!" " Sure enough, it was really Fan Yilan, Yin Xu secretly sighed: I don't know how much favor I owe this stunning beauty? When will I have a chance to repay it?
"What evidence is there?" Yin Xu pressed the handle of the Duan Shui sword intentionally or unintentionally, and was still extremely careful, and he should not be careless at any time, especially when his life was at stake, he had to be more cautious.

The members of the Fan family understood the reasoning, and they were not surprised by Yin Xu's actions, and said: "The general's saber is a gift from my lady. In order to thank Peng Lize for saving him that day, the general once told the lady about this sword by the Zhenze Lake. s legend!"

There are not a few people who know about the previous incident, but they met Fan Yilan alone on the bank of Penglize Lake in Wuzhong County, Kuaiji that day, and talked about the magical legend about the Water-Duan Sword.At that time there was no third person present, this person was undoubtedly sent by Fan Yilan at that time.Yin Xu was no longer suspicious, and said with a smile: "Trying to be a strong man? How do you call it?"

"Next, Fan Bai!"

Yin Xu murmured in his heart, Fan Qing, Fan Bai... Why are the servants of the Fan family named after their colors?Fortunately, he didn't know that there were Fan Jin and Fan Zi, otherwise he would definitely feel emotional, why did the four great dharma kings, Zibai, Jinqing, go to Fan's house?
Fan Bai said: "I am under the order of Miss, to come from Qi to greet the general, see what I can do for the general?"

Fan Yilan specially sent her to greet and help her, Yin Xu's heart felt warm, the stunning beauty took good care of her!Such beautiful blessings, what more can a husband ask for? The beauty is so kind, how can I take it lightly?At the same time, Yin Xu once again lamented the ability of the Fan family, not only knowing the news that he was being chased in Hebei, but also finding his location so accurately.If this Fan Bai was a spy of the Qin army, wouldn't he be made dumplings, and the entire army would be wiped out without even noticing it?

"How is the battle between Qi and Chu?" Yin Xu's first question was also what he was most worried about.After being away alone for many days, someone finally brought news, so they were naturally anxious.

Fan Bai replied: "Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army in Yongqiu and beheaded Li You. Now he is dealing with the participating Qin army in Wei. Sima Xin moved closer to Qi State and joined forces with Zhang Han. He conquered more than [-] cities in Qi State. Xiang Tianrong sent Lord Gaoling to ask for help from Chu, and the king of Chu agreed to rescue. Xiang Liang first led an army of [-] to rescue, and Song Yi personally raised a large army to help."

Xiang Yu beheaded Li You?A piece of news that is not too shocking. Although Li You is a rare hero, he is no match for the mighty Overlord of Chu after all.Zhang Han's actions in Qi State were expected, and Chu State's rescue of Qi State was also necessary.However, in this rescue method, Xiang Liang led an army of 5000 people as the vanguard, and Song Yi personally led an army of [-] people to support them later?
Hearing this news, Yin Xu's heart was shocked, and there was always a lingering unease.The crisis of Xiang Liang's life and safety came to his mind again, which made him feel pressured.

Fan Bai didn't shy away from it, and quickly said: "General Yin, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, Song Yi's credibility is suspicious, the general has to guard against it!" The existence of Fan Wenke, and the relationship between the Fan family and Song Yi, Yin Xu don't know.But he knew that the Fan family had great energy, maybe he had noticed something, and Fan Yilan reminded himself like this.

Judging from this, Song Yi probably has a problem. As long as his rescue is a little slower, Xiang Liang will have to face Zhang Han's powerful army independently.The danger can be imagined. Yin Xu even saw Xiang Liang die in battle, and his fears have begun to become reality.Is there still time to stop it?Yin Xu couldn't help sweating profusely.

"General, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Crossing the south of the river and returning!" Yin Xu was a little confused, and highlighted four words.

"General, I have prepared a ship, but unfortunately it was confiscated by the Qin army!" Yin Xu squeezed out a wry smile, but unexpectedly lifted a rock and smashed his own foot.

At the same time of disappointment, Fan Bai's next sentence brought hope again: "The ships are mainly gathered at the two ferry crossings in Dong'e. I have spent a lot of money to buy and arrange a number of men, who may be able to help the general."

Yin Xu couldn't help sighing: "You came at the right time. Not only did you bring news from the south of the river, but you also helped me a lot. The rain comes after a long drought, it's just timely rain!"
