Although Liu Xie is young, he has suffered a lot of chaos since he was a child, and he himself is extremely intelligent. Therefore, after hearing Zhang Xiu's words, he took the oars without hesitation.

Zhang Xiu's iron spear was more than four meters long, longer than an entire fishing boat. He took the iron gun in his hand and stood at the stern of the boat, calmly guarding against the arrows fired from the shore.

After a round of arrows, Guo Yan's own soldiers bent their bows and arrows again and shot in the direction of the fishing boat.

"Chirp!"

Arrows shot over, and Zhang Xiu danced the spear in his hand impenetrable.

Only a 'ding dingdong' sound was heard, and the arrows that were fired at the fishing boat were all shot down into the water by the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand.

"Your Majesty, rowing!"

However, after Liu Xie took the oars, he didn't know how to change the boat, so he had to stand there in a daze.

After a pause, the boat was swept down the river and began to approach the shore. Zhang Xiu was shocked, and then couldn't help but remind Liu Xie.

Liu Xie panicked, paddling the oars in his hand indiscriminately, and due to the uneven force, the fishing boat actually made the fishing boat turn half in place.

Zhang Xiu, who was blocking the arrows on the boat, suddenly felt that his center of gravity was unstable, and accidentally, an arrow hit his shoulder.

Fortunately, he wore armor, and the distance was long, and the power of the arrow was limited, so the arrow did not penetrate into the flesh. Rao was like this, and there was still a wisp of blood flowing down Zhang Xiu's shoulder.

Zhang Xiuqiang endured the pain, brandished the spear in his hand, and patiently taught Liu Xie and told him what to pay attention to when rowing.

When Liu Xie saw Zhang Xiu's arrow, he felt guilty in his heart.

He held back his tears and tried to follow Zhang Xiu's teachings and began to slowly master the skills of rowing.

I have to say that Liu Xie is very smart, and it didn't take long for him to be able to row the fishing boat jerky.

Although the direction of the fishing boat is still uncertain at times, Liu Xie has been able to row the fishing boat and slowly move away from the riverbank.

Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he secretly thought: "If Your Majesty lives in the peaceful years, he will definitely be able to become a good son of heaven admired by all people." ”

"However, now that the roots of the Great Han have rotted, who can say about the future of His Majesty?"

The fishing boats gradually moved away, and the arrows of the Xiliang Army on the shore could not shoot so far. Seeing this, Guo Yan was immediately furious.

He didn't dare to imagine what serious consequences would happen if Liu Xie was allowed to escape from his control.

"Why are you all stunned here, why don't you hurry up and look for the ship? Your Majesty must be invited back at all costs! ”

Guo Yan's roar made his soldiers fearful, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly looked for ships.

However, it was said that Liu Xie was driving the fishing boat and was out of the range of the bow and arrow of the Xiliang Army, so Zhang Xiu put the spear in his hand on the fishing boat, and then pulled out the arrow on his shoulder.

He tore a little of his underwear, bandaged his wound indiscriminately, and was about to take the oars and row.

"The general is already wounded, so I'll row the boat."

Liu Xie wiped the sweat on his face and said stubbornly.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, a warmth flashed in his heart.

Instead of refusing, he began to lie down on the fishing boat to rest. Because he knew that it would definitely not be easy to leave with Liu Xie.

If he can't retain enough physical strength, there is no way to deal with emergencies.

During this time, fighting with Guo Yanjun every day, Zhang Xiu was very tired.

Not long after he lay down, in a daze, he suddenly heard an anxious shout. Zhang Xiu quickly opened his eyes and subconsciously pulled out the saber in his waist.

Seeing Zhang Xiu's movements, Liu Xie on the side was startled, and he said, "General Zhang, there are more than a dozen ships in front, and they have surrounded us. ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly got up and saw more than a dozen tattered ships, encircling them, sailing towards them.

Zhang Xiu's heart suddenly sank.

On the dozen or so small boats, there are only more than 50 people. If it is on land, even if Zhang Xiu is injured, it is not difficult to protect Liu Xie to escape.

However, the water is not as good as the land, and he and Liu Xie can't swim. If the enemy scuttles the ship, Zhang Xiu and Liu Xie will definitely die in the belly of the fish.

"Could it be the ship that Guo Yan found? No, Fang Cai's own soldiers have already searched in detail, and there are no other boats in the nearby river at all. ”

"And the direction these ships came from seems to be the north bank of the Yellow River."

The north bank of the Yellow River is in the direction of Hedong County, and if the people on the boat are Guo Yan's pursuers, they will chase them from the south bank.

Zhang Xiu frowned, very puzzled.

"It's a pity that he fled in a hurry and didn't carry a bow and arrows. Otherwise, you can deal with these people. ”

"General Zhang, the ships in front of you are not good, I don't know if the general has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, even if the last general fights for this life, he will definitely protect His Majesty."

After speaking, Zhang Xiu took his spear and stood on the bow of the boat. The spear was more than four meters long, and he could stab an opposing fishing boat if it rushed in front of him.

More than a dozen dilapidated ships, they were interspersed with front and back, left and right, like dragons in the water, swift and unchaotic formation.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu's heart sank.

Although he had never commanded a naval army, he also knew that the people on the other side's ships must have been in the water for a long time.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to sail a battered boat on the turbulent Yellow River and look so handy.

Seeing that the two sides were getting closer and closer, Zhang Xiu was angry and shouted: "I don't know who the other side is, I am passing through here, just to reach the other side, I wonder if you can make it convenient?" ”

Don't look at the other party, these people can sail against the current, if they are replaced by Zhang Xiu and Liu Xie, they don't have this ability.

According to the inertia of the river, their boats will soon meet each other. Therefore, Zhang Xiucai took the lead in shouting.

"Yo, your voice is quite loud!"

On a ship, a joking voice rang out.

As soon as this voice fell, another voice sounded: "Wow, I'm still a military general in armor!" Capture him, strip off his armor, and he will definitely be able to sell it for a lot of money. ”

"Yes, it's really a lot of money!"

On the rest of the boats, there were also voices echoing.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his face couldn't help but be a little angry. Thinking of him Zhang Xiu, he studied under the spear prodigy Yuan, a spear in his hand has few opponents, and when he was young, he crisscrossed the northwest, became famous in Liangzhou, and was heroic.

Even Li Dao and Guo Yan, who are in power and the opposition, are afraid of him.

How could Zhang Xiu have ever been insulted like this? It was as if in the eyes of those people, he was just a lamb to the slaughter.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiu tried to calm down. He knew that now was not the time to be reckless. After all, there is another emperor on board.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xiu finally spoke: "Brothers, if you want the armor on my body, I will take it off and give it to you." ”

"I only hope that you can not be embarrassed and let me live!"

In normal times, even if Zhang Xiu died in battle, he would never say such a thing. But for the sake of Liu Xie, he had to speak so lowly.

Although he wanted to hand over Liu Xie to Chen Xu, in his heart, he did not have awe and sympathy for this son of heaven.

No matter what the chaos in the world becomes, as long as the Han Dynasty has not perished, Liu Xie is still the Ninth Five-Year Honor. Zhang Xiu was never willing to let the emperor lose his life because of his impulsiveness.

"Whew!"

Zhang Xiu's words made the other party's faces full of disdain.

One of them spat into the river, pulled his throat, and shouted disdainfully: "Originally, I saw that you were tall and big, and I thought you were a man." ”

"But I don't want to, it's a soft bone."

"If you're really a man, I can let you live. But seeing you like this, I'm going to kill you and throw you into the river to feed the fish. ”

"Hahahaha!"

The rest of the people on the boat also laughed out loud and unscrupulously.

There was only one person, but he said angrily: "I haven't said my lines yet, you are going to kill someone?" ”

"You say, you say!"

Everyone was hippie and smiling, some whistling, some picking their ears, some picking their noses, all of them hung up.

The person who spoke just now had a straight face, and suddenly shouted: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass by here, and leave it to buy road money." ”

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd laughed again, and one of them said, "Where are the mountains and trees in the river?" ”

The man who had just spoken said nonchalantly, "If I say yes, then there is, and if there is none, there must be; I said no, there is none, there is none, there is none. ”

"Unless, that guy doesn't want to live."

Seeing that the other party was so unscrupulous, Zhang Xiu was immediately furious, and said angrily: "Good thief, I didn't want to be an enemy of you and others, but I didn't want to bully people too much!" ”

"Wuwei Zhang Xiu is here, and the thief is here to die!"

"Yo, that person is not afraid of death now?"

"It's hard to have fun."

"He wants us to die, and we can't go against people's wishes."

Zhang Xiu reported his name, not only did not deter these people, but they became more unscrupulous.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

The two big men jumped into the water directly shirtless, and then swam towards Zhang Xiu. They swam faster in the water than a boat.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu was horrified in his heart: "These people are so watery!" ”

He didn't sigh long before he saw that the two of them had approached Zhang Xiu's fishing boat. Zhang Xiu calmed down, clenched the spear in his hand tightly with both hands, and stabbed a person in the water.

"What about people?"

But he didn't want to, Zhang Xiu stabbed the air with a shot, but the two big men were gone.

"General Zhang, the boat is flooded!"

Liu Xie's frightened voice reached Zhang Xiu's ears, and Zhang Xiu was horrified.

He was about to pass over, when he suddenly felt a sudden shock to his body, and the fishing boat actually capsized into the water.

"Your Majesty!"

Before Zhang Xiu fell into the water, he shouted unwillingly.
