A long-haired middle-aged man in an official robe walked out from behind Meng Wei, and he also said loudly: "I am the commander of Zhongmu County, and the lower officials have heard that the teacher of the Son of Heaven must not be moved lightly, and there must be a way to move." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info you are the Luoyang Northern Army, do you have the decree of the Son of Heaven? Is there a Tiger Talisman Appointment? ”

Liu Biao was speechless and could not answer, he also knew very well that the northern army could not easily leave Beijing, and even after leaving Beijing, it could not perform its tasks as an army alone, and it must be handed over to the local military and political chief under the unified jurisdiction and command. But He Jin has always been arrogant, and he has the support of Queen He, where would he take these rules and regulations in his eyes, and no one has ever said half a word. Today, the Zhongmu County Commander dared to say this, not because he was a little bolder than others, but because he was standing behind He Miao, who was also arrogant and supported by the same queen.

Seeing the embarrassment on Liu Biao's face, Chang Jin sneered and said: "If there is no decree tiger talisman, it is a chaotic army, and the lower officials are afraid and dare not let the chaotic army cross the border, so the general should find another way." ”

Liu Biao looked at Qiu Ming and Cao Cao with a calm face, and Cao Cao shook his head, indicating that he didn't think of any good way either. After Qiu Ming returned from the underworld, the whole person's spirit and way of thinking seemed to have changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "The other side is clearly not letting us pass, so what nonsense is there?" Just hit it. ”

Liu Biao frowned and said, "But He Miao's guy is not easy to mess with." ”

Qiu Ming said: "Could it be that the general is easy to provoke?" What He Miao relied on was nothing more than Queen He's grace, but Jin Kui was involved in the battle for the throne, and even the generals intervened in this matter because of Queen He's begging, in this case, how could Queen He speak in this matter? So we just have to fight, and no matter what it looks like, it will end up in the end. ”

All the generals were excited, but Yu Ban immediately asked a question: "It's okay to fight, but how are we going to cross the river?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Since there is a famous official ferry here, there must be a ferry, we can first use the ferry to escort a small group of elite troops across the river, and then cover the army or wade or swim across the river after seizing the beachhead." Tyumen nodded and said, "Then, there is another question, after our vanguard troops pass, do they salute first and then soldiers?" Or let go and kill? ”

Liu Biao looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao looked at Liu Biao but didn't speak, Liu Biao coughed and said: "They are all officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and it is best to be able to take care of their respective faces." However", his expression suddenly became cold: "On the battle array, there are no eyes for swords and guns, if there is any accidental injury, I am afraid that it is inevitable." ”

Seeing that the group of generals on the opposite side all retreated, Meng Wei smiled and said to Chang Jin: "Chang County is righteous and awe-inspiring, and he retreats from the group of thieves with a few words, he really has the style of an ancient gentleman, and the last general will admire it." ”

Chang Jin stroked his long beard and smiled silently, and a person beside him said: "I think they may not have retreated, but it is more likely that they are going to arrange ships to prepare for the attack, General Meng should not take it lightly, but should strengthen precautions." ”

Chang looked closely, but it was a small official in the county who spoke. This person's surname is Chen Minggongzi Gongtai, who was originally from Dongwuyang, Dongjun, but because of his upright temperament, he offended Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, and committed himself to this Zhongmu County. This Chen Gong usually talks about being a good teacher, and he is very unlikable to Chang Jin, and today he has more nonsense, which makes Chang Jin have a better opinion of him.

Chang Jin said coldly: "According to the opinion of the public platform, how should we strengthen our precautions?" ”

Chen Gong shook his spirit and said: "The tidal flats here are flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is more convenient for the opponent's cavalry to fight. If you don't have the right to do so, you should withdraw half a mile and set up two lines of defense at the beachhead, one in a horse pit and the other in an ambush and a fire, and if the enemy forces force it over, it will ......."

"That's enough", Chang Jin said: "The art of war is cloudy, and the enemy can attack it halfway." Our army is on the river, and we can wait for the labor to attack its half-crossing, but you tell us to retreat, what is your intention? It seems that you are just a nerd who talks on paper, and you will only talk about things in vain, and if you say something like that, you will not talk about it later. ”

All his colleagues laughed, and Chen Gong stepped aside with a red face, not daring to say anything more. Meng Wei next to him rubbed his wrist and said: "Chang County respects the enemy and is not chaotic, he really has the material of a general, and it is still too condescending to be a county commander." In fact, there are four fierce and eight sledgehammers in our army, and if the chaotic army does not come, if he dares to cross the river, he will be taught to break his bones and turn into a ghost under the hammer. ”

Chang Jin said with a smile: "General Meng is a hero, and the lower officials have always admired him, but what are the four fierce and eight sledgehammers?" ”

Meng Wei called out three more hammer generals from the queue: "My three righteous brothers are as powerful as me, and they all love hammers, so they are called the four fierce and eight sledgehammers." I am a drum urn gold hammer, this is an eight-edged plum blossom bright silver hammer, that is a brass nest melon hammer, and another is an iron rolling hammer. ”

Chang saw that these people were all mighty and majestic, and the muscles of their arms were raised high, and they suddenly relaxed their hearts, and their mouths were full of admiration. The four fierce and eight sledgehammers were praised and laughed wildly.

Because the Zhongmu County Ling Chang had already made some arrangements recently, Cao Cao searched for a long time in the nearby villages and towns and only found two small fishing boats, which had no effect. Qiu Ming was about to propose whether to find a few door panels to use, when he suddenly saw a few rows of good gourd racks in the field next to the village, and suddenly remembered the young man who was killed by Gongsun Zhan's subordinates in Gaoling Village, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Dian Wei has always felt guilty since he drank Qiuming to death, and this time he volunteered to be the first batch of daredevils to cross the river, and no one could persuade him. His wife Han carefully tied the gourd around Dian Wei's waist, and said with red eyes: "I won't stop you if you want to go, but you must come back alive." ”

Dian Wei was also a little sad for a while, but immediately scolded: "Men go out to do business, what do old ladies cry and cry like, you will make the leftover cakes I ate in the morning hot again, and I will eat them when I come back." Han wiped his eyes and said okay with a smile.

Chang Jin and Meng Wei waited on the river beach for a long time, almost thinking that Liu Biao and they were really going to take a detour, and when they were about to bury the pot to make food, they saw a group of shirtless men running on the opposite side, and they didn't know what they were wrapped around their waists.

Chang Jin looked at it carefully for a long time, and asserted: "Looking like this, it should be a gourd with a sawed mouth." ”

Meng Wei smiled: "What are they doing with these gourds?" Is it going to give us extra food? When he said that, the hammers burst out laughing.

Chen Gong, who was sitting far away, seemed to want to speak, but finally held back, and he said in a voice that only he could hear: "Stupid, the gourd is also known as the waist boat, the ancients often used it to float the sea and cross the river, and it seems that so many gourds are coming from the opposite side, it seems that they are ready to force the crossing." ”

As if to confirm his words, with the sound of drums on the opposite side, this group of big men with gourds around their waists jumped off the Jialu River with a shout and swam towards the opposite bank.
