The next day, in the Hanshui Basin, at the time of the fourth watch.

The light river fog is filled, and there is no sound at the wharf of Dengcheng, and there is only the gurgling sound of the Han River.

Deng Xiaoman wore the Beifu standard iron basin collar armor, which had an obvious neck guard back plate on the back, which was bent backwards and drilled with three holes in the bend.

As the battalion governor, Deng Xiaoman inserted a back flag in each of the three eyeholes of the neck curved board, the red flag was written in the center 'under the command of the Han Che Cavalry General', the green flag was written 'under the command of General Chen Zhengbei' on the left, and the white flag was written on the right 'The seventh battalion mark of the left guard'.

In addition to the basin collar armor, he covered his left shoulder with an indigo robe to cover his left shoulder and expose his right arm, and under the robe pressed the sword with his left hand to make the scabbard cocked just behind his waist, and his right hand held a battle helmet decorated with three bird feathers, and he was pacing in place in a small area, waiting for news.

The sound of the nail leaf hitting in the distance was getting closer and closer, Deng Xiaoman turned to look, and saw his friend Kuai Tao walking in the front.

Kuai Tao is more cautious and steady, and the heavy basin collar armor on his body only has an ordinary red robe, and he does not stand up with a back flag, looking like a lieutenant-level colonel.

But the military officials who followed behind Kuai Tao generally planted back flags, and there were four negative feather sharps on the left and right, and these sharp soldiers were planted with two negative feathers on their backs, some were two red feathers, and some were white feathers.

The curved negative feathers are composed of feathers wrapped around the steel bar, and the shaking of the negative feathers when walking is very eye-catching; It is not like carrying a flag, but it should stand firmly on its back. Unless a person falls, always straight.

"I knew the general would send you!"

Deng Xiaoman went up and endured the excitement and gave Kuai Tao a shoulder bump, and immediately put on the helmet with both hands, and tied the helmet strap to his chin: "How to fight?" ”

Kuai Tao was also followed by two battalion governors, standing around Deng Xiaoman together, waiting for Kuai Tao's order.

Kuai Tao first glanced at the surface of the Hanshui River a few times, secretly clenched his fists, and stared at Deng Xiaoman and the other three battalion governors: "The general has an order, the Rui Beast has escaped into Hannan, and our army is ordered to search for the Rui Beast!" The seventh battalion must seize the Xiangyang wharf and set up camp; The rest followed me straight to Dashou Mountain. If the defenders of Xiangyang kill and injure our soldiers and intend to murder the beast, the general will lead the army into the siege of Xiangyang and ask for an explanation! ”

"Whoa!"

Deng Xiaoman's right arm was clenched into a fist across his chest, and the fist was close to his heart.

I also listened to Kuai Tao's instructions: "Rui Beast is the mount of the soldier master, and it is related to my Beifu Erlang Wuyun." But those who obstruct and procrastinate will have bad intentions, and they can act cheaply! All responsibilities, the general is willing to bear all the responsibility! ”

"Whoa!"

Deng Xiaoman responded again, turned around and strode upstream towards his own array, the officials who came with Kuai Tao were still marching in an orderly manner, the marching drums were beating, and a phalanx of 100 people lined up on the riverbank, waiting for the order to cross the river.

Through the fog, Kuai Tao could vaguely hear Deng Xiaoman's angry voice: "The officials of the seven battalions, the Rui beast raised by the public is coveted by others, and suddenly went to the south bank, this must be a thief's trick!" Rui Beast is related to the martial arts of my Beifu officials, and there must be no loss! ”

"If there is anyone who obstructs the seven battalions of officials from searching for the beast, they will be complicit in the thieves and harm the hearts of our army!"

"Everything can be done cheaply, and the Governor shall bear the responsibility for all the crimes!"

"Drumbeat, get on board!"

Deng Xiaoman waved his hand and shouted, and the waist drummers in the hundred-person array beat the drums, holding torches and rushing to the boats moored on the river bank.

On the opposite bank of Xiangyang Wharf, when Kuai Tao's department approached the riverbank, there was a sound of marching drums.

Garrisoned here was also a battalion governor, wearing only simple, good-looking patent leather armor.

He ran to the shore and listened, and his face changed slightly: "Blow the trumpet!" Assemble and standby! ”

The drum and bugle officer beside him took out the horn hanging from his waist, took a deep breath and blew it, and the whole person was like a curled shrimp, as if he wanted to squeeze and blow the strength of his body into the horn.

Woo...... Whining......

On the boat, Deng Xiaoman heard the move on the south shore, and he clung to the guardrail and didn't care.

Give the Han army on the south bank ten dares, and don't dare to let out arrows to stop it!

The battalion governor on the south bank was still standing on the embankment on the bank of the river, and his scalp tingled as he watched the torches standing down the river towards his fleet.

A military official beside him was surprised and shouted: "Beifu is reversed!" ”

"It's your mother who is reversed!"

The battalion governor suddenly smashed his fist on the cheek of this officer, and the other party who hit him fell to the ground, and immediately shouted to the left and right: "Drunk nonsense, don't take it seriously!" ”

The other officers were frightened and dazed, and some of them were relieved, and for a moment they looked at the boat that was approaching, and some of them were unsteady.

The beaten officer covered his face and got up, and at this moment there was no resentment, only a strong sense of gratitude.

If you change your boss, you will stab him to death with a sword on the spot.

Beifu reversed...... This kind of thing, Wen Ping doesn't dare to say it, who dares to say it?

The camp governor also rolled his eyes from side to side, his thoughts collided at high speed, and his breathing gradually became heavy, like a gambler: "If a friendly army suddenly visits, there must be an inside story." At this moment, the fog is heavy, in order to avoid accidental injuries and expand the incident...... Quickly give the order, return to Xiangyang with me, and wait for the general to deal with it! ”

"Whoa!"

The left and right military officials responded, and hugged the battalion governor and walked faster and faster.

"My Rui beast has lost Hannan, and we will be ordered to search!"

"Rui Beast Relations Society, Death to the Obstructor!"

When the boat docked, Deng Xiaoman stood at the bow of the boat and raised his arms and shouted, and a team of government soldiers jumped into the cold and shallow water on the riverbank, running forward with a bang, hula shouting and shouting for the search for the Rui Beast, the obstructor to kill and other mixed orders.

But it was still a step too late, and there was no garrison in the huge Xiangyang wharf, only the dazed wharf officials, workers, passengers, and merchants.

The angry Deng Xiaoman drew his sword and slashed at the wooden stake of the dock barracks, shouting hatefully: "Pacify the people!" Blow the trumpet to the north bank and signal to cross the river! ”

"Dig trenches and organize Ding Zhuang to build a wall!"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he stepped on the stake before he pulled out the sword that had slashed into the depths.

Dengcheng, in the middle of the night, the government troops in the city were mobilized, and it was quite noisy when the arsenal was armed.

After arming, the government soldiers went to Xuanchi through the water gate, where they boarded the ship and waited for the next battle order.

If Wenpin makes a wrong step, then this army can successfully create an incident and then keep Nanyang!

Before Tian Ji went out, he couldn't help but re-examine his suicide note, Wen Ping was the general of Jingzhou back then, with the wrong name and no wrong title. In the suicide note, he focused on the entrustment, hoping that Tian Xin could marry in the future and turn Wang Zhi's son, that is, his adopted son, into an adopted son-in-law.

After confirming that there was no ambiguity in the suicide note, he solemnly handed over the suicide note to his two wives and led his soldiers towards the east water gate.

In the pavilion in the city, Zhuge Qiao had been awakened, and he climbed the ladder with the support of the servants, and watched through the wall as a group of armed government soldiers walked towards the water gate.

The anxiety in his heart, and the cold air in the early morning were very stimulating, making him feel like a knife in his lungs.

His face turned red, and he gritted his teeth so tightly that he bit the skin of his mouth, and blood slid down the corners of his lips.

In the end, he couldn't hold back, a mouthful of bloody, black and red, mixed with phlegm spurted out, and the whole person fell backwards, and tears couldn't stop flowing out of his eyes.

He was caught by his servants, his ears ringing and he couldn't hear what they were shouting.

The face was full of remorse.
