It took most of the night to clean up the floating city and the pontoon bridge, and Tyumen stood on the high bow of the boat, looking at the direction of Changsha with a face full of sadness and joy. Guo Jia walked up from the cabin and said: "Several prisoners have confessed, saying that some mysterious people joined Ou Xing's camp a few days ago, helped him train his soldiers to arrange the troops, and gave him many ideas, such as the idea of floating city this time was what they came up with." ”

Qiu Ming said with a smile: "As soon as I heard the origin of the hipsters, I knew that they were Sun Jian's people, who was the leader this time?" ”

Guo Jia said: "It's a person named Xu Zhen, who is said to be very powerful. ”

Qiu Ming shook his head, he didn't seem to have heard of this person, it seemed that he was just a passerby. But come to think of it, now Ou Xing is a serious thief, Sun Jian does not dare to send his famous generals to help him, if he is detected by the imperial court, no matter how long he is and good at dancing, he is afraid that it will be difficult to justify himself.

Guo Jia saw that Qiu Ming was still looking at the firelight in the distance, patted the side of the boat and said, "Don't worry, Su Dai is also a capable person, and with the help of Cao Yin and Jin Xuan, it is not so easy to lose the city." ”

Qiu Ming said: "I'm not worried about Changsha, I'm just thinking, since Sun Jian wants to get Changsha so deliberately, he will definitely not just send a few subordinates to get it, he himself will probably come, and maybe he has already come, and he is hiding in a corner watching us at the moment." ”

Dian Wei happened to come from behind, and when he heard Qiu Ming's words, he said angrily: "He dares to hide nearby? I'm going to find him out. ”

Qiu Ming laughed: "I'm just making an analogy, and Sun Jian, as the sect master of the military family, can't be in danger with his body, and it's unlikely that he will hide around here." Dian Wei said: "I'm curious, why would a guy like him, who has status and status and is a big official, collude with a thief like Ou Xing?" ”

Qiu Ming said: "Since ancient times, the power position has charming eyes, and the wealth is moving, even a guy like Chen Sheng can have great ambitions, let alone Sun Jian." But since he provoked me, I naturally can't let him get his wish. Dian Wei and Guo Jia both nodded heavily.

Early the next morning, the fleet continued to move, and in less than two hours the outline of Changsha City could be seen. Seeing the return of the heart of the river and the agitation, it was vaguely seen that a small island was carrying heavy loads and floating, and Tyumen couldn't help but wonder: "Such a small piece of tidal flat is the later Orange Island?" Could it be that I opened it the wrong way? ”

Seeing the arrival of the huge fleet, the siege troops of Ou Xing quickly retreated to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, and Su Dai, who had been fighting all night, breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the water gate to be opened to welcome Qiu Ming and others into the city.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sun entered Changsha City for the first time, and seeing the magnificent outline of this water gate, it seemed to be much better than Jiang Xia, and asked: "This gate is a bit famous, is there anything to pay attention to?" ”

Su Dai had been on the same boat with them from Wulin to Baling, and he was also familiar with him, and said with a smile: "This place is called Chaozongmen, so that the boatmen of the upstream and downstream can have a place to stay in Changsha, so the gate is high and the fence is high, and no matter how big the ship can accommodate it." But there are so many of your boats that you can only moor outside the gate, so let's go down the trestle. ”

Tyumen followed Guo Jia off the boat and found that the ground here was paved with long strips of granite, which was not quite the same as the rest of the city. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Last time I walked through Xiangchun Gate, this is Chaozong Gate again, are there any other gates in Changsha City?" ”

Su Dai said: "Of course there is, in addition to these two, there are also Xiaowu Gate, Liuyang Gate, Zodiac Gate and Tongtai Gate, how?" Do you want to walk around one by one? ”

Qiuming's eyes rolled, the nine gates that Nanhua Lao Immortal said, there are six here, and it should not be difficult to build three more. He hurriedly found a reason to divert the conversation, not wanting Su Dai to see the change in his face.

Su Dai did not pay attention to Tyumen at all, or rather, when he saw the mountains of rice and noodles in the fleet, he had forgotten even his last name. In the days after Tyumen left, when the people in the city saw him, the most asked questions were when they would have food, and as time went on, the mood of the people became more and more unstable, and they were almost on the verge of breaking out.

Su Dai prayed to God and Buddha every day, only hoping that Tyumen could return with food as soon as possible, so when the news spread in the city that Baling had been attacked and the grain was destroyed and burned, Su Dai was furious and cut down a few mobs who took the opportunity to make trouble. Or, in his heart at the time, he didn't know whether he was more angry or more afraid.

Now that Tyumen has finally returned, and he has brought back so much food, as long as the whole people in Changsha City do not raise pigs, it should be enough to eat until autumn, and the fear in Su Dai's heart will naturally disappear. He loudly expressed his gratitude to Qiu Ming and Zhang Wu, and prepared to fly back to report the good news to Zhang Taishou. Guo Jia grabbed him, pointed to the dense boats and rafts on the other side of the river, and said, "Those, what's going on?" ”

Su Dai's face immediately turned red like pork liver bursting with sauce, and he finally said the reason. It turned out that since receiving Tyuming's instructions, Su Dai gathered people to build boats and rafts in the open space in the south of the city.

Originally, Su Dai was worried about the loss of the raft, so he arranged multiple sentry posts in the open space, and he and Yang Ling also took turns to guard the shipyard. He didn't want the mob in the city to make a disturbance the day before yesterday, Cao Yin's Wuling army was a guest army, and he couldn't suppress it at all, so he had to send the defenders of the shipyard into the city to maintain the situation, but he was sent by the district star on the other side to swim over, sweeping away the big and small ship valves, and burning all the ones that could not be taken away. Su Dai was furious, Yang Ling was even more angry and spit blood, planted the horse on the spot, and is still resting in bed today.

After Ou Xing got this batch of small boats and rafts, he organized people to cross the river to attack for two or three days in a row, and each time the offensive was more fierce than the other, although Su Dai organized the whole city army and people to go to the city wall to defend, but the people who did not have enough to eat had no will to resist at all, and the number of soldiers under his command was insufficient, if it were not for the thick walls of the city, I am afraid that Ou Xing would have been captured several times.

Qiu Ming was angry, pointed to the other side and scolded Ou Xing a few times, and asked, "What about Zhang Taishou?" Will he not go to the city to defend and pacify the people? ”

Su Dai's face showed embarrassment again: "Zhang Yuanjun said that he has come up with a wonderful plan again, and he will be in retreat for a few days, so let's not disturb him." ”

Qiuming's nose is almost crooked, Zhang Ji can really only be a scholar-type nerd, and letting him enter politics is completely harmful to others and himself. Fortunately, this rebellion of the people had a great impact, and Zhang Ji, who was too shou in Changsha, probably couldn't sit still, so he should have written his "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" earlier.
