Reeds swing

It was late autumn, and it was the season when the reed flowers were in full bloom. The endless, white, light, and soft reed flowers in front of me drifted from the poolside with the wind. The wind is blowing, the reeds are shaking, and the reeds are dancing like snowflakes.

The fluffy reed flowers looked snow-white from a distance, but up close they came in a variety of colors, creamy white, reddish and pale cyan. A breeze blew, and the reed flowers, which were like fine cotton wool, swayed in the sun, and as far as the eye could see, they were reflected in the blue sky, as if white waves were floating, and there were white clouds in the blue sky and tidbits under the white clouds.

"Just like the catkins rising because of the wind, what a beautiful scenery." Li Pojun praised.

Zhai Changsun and the others trembled at the corners of their mouths when they heard this, and it was a beautiful scenery again? There are only dozens of acres of bamboo forest, and now this broken reed is also, has the general never seen the scene.

They couldn't guess that Li Pojun had indeed never seen such a scene, and he had never seen such a scene in his two lives. In the 21st century in the previous life, the sky was full of gray, the blue sky and white clouds were already very luxurious, and there were hundreds of miles of reeds and quiet bamboo forests, even if there was in modern society, there was no such charm, because this was primitive, and even Li Pojun ushered in all the way, no matter how many dense forests could not be entered, and there were no traces at all.

"General, there is no water in this reed?" Cheng Chumo went over and tried it and said.

Li Pojun nodded and said straightly: "Dang is originally a shallow lake, and it is not a river or a sea, and it is a drought year that has not been encountered in a century, and it is normal to dry up."

Fang Yiai touched his head with a smile when he heard this, and said straightly: "That's good, I'm afraid that I'm going to take a boat to swim again, that taste is too uncomfortable."

Seeing Fang Yiai's humble appearance, everyone also laughed, everyone knew that Fang Yiai was full of divine power, holding a horizontal knife, invincible, really powerful, but he was afraid of water, serious seasickness, took a boat to Cangzhou for a day, or tied the landlubber to the cabin, and came over.

Seeing this, Li Pojun struck again: "Don't be happy first, this swing is hundreds of miles wide, it is impossible to dry up everything, there must be water where the water is deep, and you will still have to swim at that time."

Ignoring Fang's bitter face, he said to the generals again: "In addition, if the shallow lake is dry, there must be a lot of soft mud ground, pass the order down, meet the mud, the whole army will hold hands, if anyone falls into the mud, report it quickly."

The generals gave the order, and Li Zhen frowned again and said, "General, it's easy for people to pass through the mud, but how can horses pass through?" Our army has more than 300 horses."

Li Pojun didn't think of these for a while, subconsciously where people can walk, horses must be able to walk, but when he thinks about the muddy ground, and then looks at the horses' legs like hemp rods, he also pats his head.

But when he saw that dense forest in a blink of an eye, he raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and said with a smile: "This is easy to do."

"I know that the general must have a clever plan." Fang Yiai smiled on his face and slapped a sycophant.

"Well, bereavement, I will take you on a trip, lead some people, go over there and cut out some planks, about two or three feet wide and long." Li Pojun looked at the stupid big man in front of him with a smile on his face.

Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Huh? Lumberjacks."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Li Pojun said bluntly: "If you encounter muddy ground, it must not be outdated, so you will put the wooden plank under your feet, increase the contact area between the soles of your feet and the muddy ground, and it will be easy to pass."

All the generals are not stupid, such a simple principle, linked to the reality of life, you can understand it when you think about it. Of course, Fang Yi, Du He, and those two simple-minded and well-developed limbs are not among them.

Li Zhen's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "This method is very second, bereavement, go and cut wood." Even for a calm man like him, he couldn't help but be excited when he thought of such an ingenious method.

Fang Yiai picked up his weighted horizontal knife with a bitter face and went to the woods, this place, there are many trees, don't worry about no wood, it is easy to split into planks.

At noon, after the army had eaten a few cakes, Li Pojun gave the order to set off, striving to get to the reed before sunset.

Entering the reeds, Li Pojun is personally aware of why it is easy to get lost, Nima, criss-crossed here, the reeds that are taller than people's heads are swaying in the wind, I just feel that they are the same everywhere, this is still the perspective of Li Pojun sitting on a horse, behind is the mountain forest that just came, in front and left and right, is the endless reeds, with Li Pojun's eyesight, it seems that there is a shadow in the sky, that may be the shore, not to mention dozens of miles.

The ground is dry and full of ravines and cracks, and the width is several feet, and people have to step over, although the jade-topped horse is a peerless horse, Li Pojun is also afraid that it will crooked its hooves, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, and he was stunned when he got off the horse.

According to the weights and measures of the 21st century, his height at this time is only about one meter six, and the reed is more than two meters high, only to see that there are reeds on all sides, turning his head to look, Li Zhen and the others are also cautious, and the three thousand soldiers behind him are even more frightened, Li Pojun frowned, it seems that it is more difficult to swing through this reed. It is the same withering on all sides, and it seems that there is no end to it, so it is easy to drive people crazy.

Immediately, the order was also issued: "The officers and men of the whole army march in a queue, and the distance between the front and back and the left and right shall not be more than half a zhang away." If you want to be relieved, you must report to the school captain. The regiments and brigades always pay attention to the number of men under them, and if one is lost, the commander will be severely punished."

As soon as the order was given, the army was immediately organized into a square formation, only connected to the front and back, and the commanders of the brigade commanders looked at the people under their hands with fixed eyes, for fear of losing one.

In this way, the three thousand army marched northward together, with the help of some compasses, it was impossible to lose direction, this reed swing did not seem to be as vast as imagined, although the area was a hundred miles, but it was a terrain that was long from east to west and short from north to south, and the widest part of the north-south direction was only dozens of miles, and the narrow place was only dozens of steps.

In less than two hours, when the sun was setting in the west, just when all the sergeants were physically and mentally exhausted, suddenly, the front of them suddenly opened up, and they actually walked out.

Li Pojun raised his palms and drank the whole army, "Rest in place, don't make noise." On the edge of the reeds, three thousand troops sat on the ground.

"Send scouts quickly, explore the range of twenty miles." Li Pojun said directly, and he didn't know who he was talking to.

When the words fell, Li Zhen in the back nodded silently, and retreated invisibly to make arrangements.

The scout came to report that he had arrived in Baxian County, and within ten miles, there were no villages and towns, the county seat of Baxian County was still fifty miles away in the north, and Huichang City was a hundred miles away in the northeast.
