Unload the armor and board the ship

Although he couldn't see Lu joining the army, but since he was the person arranged by Li Xiaochang, Chen Yuanxuan didn't dare to complain more, after all, his little sister was still quite favored in the backyard of the palace.

At the moment, he also said patiently: "Lu joins the army, seizing his power and killing his people, this meaning is different. If he takes away his military power now, His Majesty will blame him at that time, the prince can be said to be in order to defend against the rebels, Yan Minghong's battle is unfavorable, so he ordered a capable person to replace him, but Yan Minghong is His Majesty's person after all, and he still has to eat and drink for him. But if Yan Minghong is killed, then at that time, the two of us will have one less crime of intent to rebel."

Hearing Chen Yuanxuan say it in such an easy-to-understand way, Lu Senjun is not a pure fool, and he understands it at the moment, so he is busy bowing to Chen Yuanxuan: "Thank you Chen Sima for stopping me, otherwise it will be a big mistake, and I will have a banquet another day and drink together."

Chen Yuanxuan listened to these two words, only felt that the corners of his mouth trembled, and he smiled politely, "It's easy to say."

The two muttered in the corner of the Assassin's Mansion for a long time, and then they parted ways, each went to the mansion to change their armor, and led the guards.

Look at a shoal along the river in Puzhou at this time, there are more than 100 small boats along the ferry, all of which are the kind of slender and long-pointed boats, this kind of boat can be paddled by one person, and can sit one or twenty people if it carries people, usually it is only used by fishermen to fish or boatmen to transport passengers, but at this time, a shallow beach near the woods is a scene of slaughter, and the birds over the woods hovering and chirping dare not fall.

The shallows were lined up with elite soldiers in armor, which were the Shence army under Li Pojun's command.

"Are the horses settled?" Hearing the footsteps behind him, and seeing that it was Zhai Changsun who was back, Li Pojun asked directly.

"Settled". Zhai Changsun replied.

"Check people". Li Pojun nodded and said straight. I saw that Li Pojun was dressed in regular clothes, not wearing his obsidian armor, and Li Zhen and the others were also slandered, could it be that the general likes the new and hates the old, and only loves good things for three days? That's a pity for that armor.

Li Pojun gave the order, and Liang Baiwu on the side responded solemnly, because the responsibility of military discipline and law enforcement in the army was handed over to him.

After a while, Liang Baiwu came close and saluted solemnly: "Report to the general, the Mo sword soldiers should be 1,000 people, but there are 1,000 people." The infantry should have reached 2,000 men, but it was 2,000. The battalion should have reached 500 men, but it was 500 men."

Li Pojun nodded, no one is left behind, that's good, "return to the team".

Liang Baiwu went down, and Li Pojun said again: "The whole army obeyed the order, took off the armor, waited for the ship in regular clothes, tied the armor and weapons in the center of the ship, and each boat was limited to fifteen people."

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, but Li Pojun's military order had been issued, even if he was puzzled, he still acted according to the order, so more than 3,000 old men changed their clothes on the shallows.

The boat sat down, Liang Baiwu Zhai Changsun and other generals came to their side, Yuwen Zen Master was the most unseen, and asked directly: "General, why do we take off our armor, we are going to fight?" ”

Hearing this, Li Pojun looked at several generals in a circle, and saw that everyone looked puzzled, and couldn't help frowning, "Don't you all know?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in their hearts.

Li Pojun looked at everyone with serious eyes, and said: "During the flood season of the Yellow River, the water rises and the waves are high, such a light boat travels on the river, it is extremely easy to capsize, and it is also very urgent to have the south wind today, our army is blowing from west to east, it is the side blow, it is easier to capsize, once the boat overturns on its side and falls into the river, the soldiers are wearing thick armor, how can they survive?" No matter how good the water is, how to swim in the water wearing dozens of catties of iron armor?

As a general, you are responsible for the life and death of your soldiers, how can you be so negligent, and if this is a small section, our army will be reduced in strength for non-combat reasons, will you not regret it? ”

After hearing what Li Pojun said, everyone suddenly realized, looking at the light boat, and then at the rushing Yellow River, and the blowing south wind...... Everyone lowered their heads, deeply guilty, and at the same time deeply admired Li Pojun's carefulness.

Li Pojun saw that the generals bowed their heads and were silent, and they also smiled: "Why are the big men bowing their heads like that little lady, are they afraid of seeing people or what?" Okay, pay attention next time, don't be careless, get on board. You ride separately, and one man will look after twenty ships."

"Yes". The crowd responded in awe.

"Set off, 100 light boats go down to Cangzhou". As soon as Li Pojun returned his hand, the army rowed the boat into the middle of the river, and there was no need to row in the middle of the river, and the boat went all the way south along the surging river.

Drifting with the tide on the boat, wave after wave up and down, if it weren't for Li Pojun's grasp, it would have been reversed, Li Pojun looked back, and the boats behind him were all following up, but the soldiers were swaying from side to side, and Li Pojun was also anxious.

He shouted straight back: "Give the order to go down, hurry up, and report it quickly if anyone falls."

"Receive it, pass it on, hurry up, and report it quickly if someone drops."

"Receive it, pass it on, hurry up, and report it quickly if someone drops."

The orders were passed down one after another, and what made Li Pojun a little relieved was that after several big waves, no one had fallen, only to see the soldiers showing their hands one by one, and grabbing the side of the ship, and the heavy objects such as armor and weapons tied to the center of the ship were also not moving.

Those armor and weapons and other iron weights also have a certain weight, and there are fifteen big men in the shape of a man, who pressed down the light fluttering boat on the wave peak, otherwise the small boat would have capsized long ago after this surge.

And Li Pojun is also glad, fortunately, there is no big drop area like Qingtongxia, Sanmenxia, and Xiaolangdi in this section of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, otherwise this small boat will definitely not be able to pass.

Just when Li Pojun was rejoicing, there was a shout from behind.

"Someone fell overboard......".

"Overboard, General ......".

"General, Zhang Dagun fell into the water......".

Li Pojun was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up to take a look, only to see that in the direction pointed by the soldiers behind him, a person was floating a few feet away, occasionally only showing a head, because people are lighter than boats, so they are faster and farther by the river.

Immediately decided, Li Pojun shouted: "Don't panic, Chen Kang is preparing the rope." After that, Li Pojun unloaded his sword, stomped his foot and used his strength to penetrate the waves, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness ......".

"General ......".

Everyone was shocked, Chen Kang was so frightened that his hair was open, he opened his eyes and shouted, and then he was about to jump down, but Qiu Ji next to him grabbed him violently, "Commander, quickly prepare the rope."
