Chapter 985: Race

In the sixth year of Shuangqing, as the territory of Nanqing was ravaged by the sudden outbreak of the Qinglian Sect, Beiqing, which had not moved, finally launched an offensive before the Dragon Boat Festival! The night before the campaign was the first rain of the summer.

The rain didn't seem to herald, but it affected the whole battle. The river, which was already wide, is now even wider because of this rain. Although the entire river seems to be only a dozen zhang wide, this indicates that after the Beiqing army comes ashore, the camp to be settled will be further extended.

Originally, if the three armies of Nanqing were stationed on this riverside, they should be the ones who want to move the camp back now. It's just that half a month ago, when Beiqing had not moved at that time, the three armies of Nanqing had already retreated to Yangzhou City.

The three armies of Nanqing retreated to Yangzhou, which was unique in the history of the confrontation between Shuangqing. Because of this, it indicates that Nanqing has given up the Yangtze River natural insurance, and it also indicates that Nanqing has become a failure!

However, this was only before, and now because Shi Yuan joined strongly, it will inevitably bring variables to Beiqing's unification this time. As for how big this variable will be, and how much impact it will have in the future...... All of this is still unknown......

Under Liuli's reminder, everyone also saw the sails pressed from the black on the river. Until this moment, these more than 600 people, including Shi Yuan, could be regarded as truly feeling the majesty of this war.

Different from the previous petty fights, this time Beiqing's all-out fight can be said to have used all the troops in the south of Beiqing. In fact, if the three armies of Nanqing are gathered, such an effect can be achieved, and if it is talked about momentum, it should be more magnificent than the current Beiqing army. However, this is only on the "number", and in terms of "quality", it is far inferior to the Beiqing army!

In these six years, Nanqing's offensive was only a handful. Moreover, after being driven through the south of the Yangtze River, the unwilling Emperor Nanqing only organized a few attempted attacks. After being defeated by Beiqing, he never dared to try again...... Even, hundreds of big ships were burned down the river!

At that time, his behavior was also accompanied by a large-scale recruitment of troops in Nanqing, saying that he was going to burn the ship Meiji and train a brave army. But in fact, this kind of trick to fool the common people is okay, in front of the true wise man, it can be seen - he is afraid!

He was afraid that the Beiqing army, which had driven him all the way across the Jiangbei, would attack, that he would lose the only remaining half of the dragon chair, and that he would lose this half of the country...... In other words, over the years, Beiqing has done all his strength, even at the expense of abandoning the dynasty and ignoring the civil strife, just for the sake of this Nanqing emperor to have some sense of security.

What is unwilling, what heart is in the north...... All of this is just a joke. Ridiculous but yet so practical joke!

However, when a ruler begins to use this method to consolidate his dominance, it is meaningless. Just like now, the so-called Nanqing has existed in name only, and it will be destined that this emperor of Nanqing will become one of the most "cowardly" emperors in history......

The entire river was nearly a hundred miles, and all of them were black-pressed sails, which certainly made Shi Yuan feel extremely shocked, but more importantly, it was a sense of urgency.

"Brother Qiao, how many people do you estimate here?" After staring at the river for a long time, Shi Yuan suddenly turned around and asked Qiao Cannon on the side.

Qiao Cannon is a veteran of the battlefield, and he also held a heavy position in Beiqing before, Shi Yuan never asked him anything, because Shi Yuan felt that if he did this, he might embarrass Qiao Cannon. But now this time...... I can't estimate that much.

Qiao Cannon didn't hesitate after hearing this, so he replied directly: "Hmm...... Looking at this posture, Beiqing should have come out of the nest this time. Because most of Beiqing are northerners, they have not been very good at water warfare. There are more than 100 large ships and 1,000 small ships in Beiqing. The number of people who crossed the river at one time...... It's probably about 10,000 people. ”

"About 10,000 people? If they all crossed the river, it would have taken three or four days. It's just that...... Why do I feel a little uneasy in my heart? After listening to Qiao Cannon's words, Shi Yuan muttered.

"Hmm...... Something is not quite right. According to what I know, this second prince has been waiting for this opportunity, and the situation on Nanqing's side should have reached his ears a long time ago. But he didn't move...... I'm afraid that something has happened in this. ”

"Change? Brother Qiao, what do you think will happen? ”

"Northern Xinjiang! I'm afraid that those Hun cubs are restless again! Qiao Cannon thought for a moment, and then said the conjecture in his heart. In fact, when he was in Yangzhou before, he had already thought about it like this, but Shi Yuan was busy with things at that time and never asked himself. And this kind of thing is just speculation, so he didn't mention it.

"Huns?" After the crossing, Shi Yuan, this is the first time he has heard of this term. I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Qiao Cannon nodded, "The Xiongnu have always been the great enemy of the Central Plains. The second prince went to the frontier alone, and single-handedly reorganized the three armies of Daqing at that time and drove out the Huns...... That's why I led the troops to raise the flag later......"

Qiao Dacang said very emotionally, and it is not difficult to see that he still admires the second prince of Beiqing very much.

"It seems that this second prince of Beiqing is a famous hero!" Shi Yuan also sighed, then looked at the vast river in front of him, and muttered, "Perhaps...... I really shouldn't have done that. ”

Shi Yuan's muttered sentence was only heard by Qiao Cannon and Liuli, who were standing on the side. Qiao Cannon couldn't help but be stunned, and then said to Shi Yuan with a serious face: "General Shi, now that the enemy is present, you must not have such thoughts!" ”

Seeing Qiao Cannon's serious face, Shi Yuan turned to a smile and shook his head, "Brother Qiao, don't worry!" I'm just feeling a little bit that the world is still very big, and if we don't make changes, we will still suffer sooner or later. Let's go! Speed up your march! ”

What world is so big that sooner or later it will suffer...... Although Qiao Cannon didn't know what Shi Yuan meant by this sentence, he didn't think too much about it when he saw Shi Yuan recover. Then he turned his head and shouted at the crowd behind him, "Run forward!" ”

There was still a slight dampness in the woods after the rain, and the sound of running that was originally scattered suddenly became neat. The Beiqing army, which came under the pressure of the black pressure of the river in the distance, seemed to be in a race......
