Liu Miao looked up and saw that the person who had just come in turned out to be his newly recruited fellow villager Tai Shici, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Ziyi, the generals are discussing here, you are talking nonsense, don't go out quickly!" ”

Tai Shici was reprimanded, turned around, angrily walked out of the big tent, and shouted: "Who dares to go to the river with a certain person!" ”

He shouted three times outside the tent, but no one answered, only snickering. When Liu Xuan heard it in the tent, he couldn't help but smile and said: "This Ziyi ru stinks and doesn't dry, I really don't know how thick the sky is, don't take care of him, let's continue to discuss." ”

Tai Shici walked around the camp, and saw that no one paid attention to him, so he had to walk to the riverside in a daze, and saw that there were more than ten patrol boats parked on the riverside. When Tai Shi Ci first arrived in Jiangnan, he was not very familiar with water warfare, and under this jump, the boat shook violently.

The sailors on the ship were lying on the bow basking in the sun, and he was so shaken by him that he almost fell into the river, and he was angry, turned his head and was about to scold, when he suddenly saw Tai Shici's outfit, and knew that he was a famous captain, so he had to hold back his temperament and said: "Where does the general want to go, I don't know if there is an arrow from the lord?" ”

Tai Shi Ci said without thinking: "What do you want to order arrows?" Don't you see the enemy going back and forth above the river? Why don't you hurry up and catch them! ”

This sailor has recovered from the panic just now, looked Tai Shici up and down, and saw that he was a new face, he couldn't help but despise him, and said in his heart, it turned out to be a straw bag, let's just these few boats, it's not enough for people to stuff their teeth, this has to go forward, isn't it to death?

Yangzhou originally also had a naval army, but it had not been practiced for a long time, and it had long been rotten. After Liu Miao took over the history of Yangzhou Assassination, his territory was originally divided by Yuan Shu, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and others, and all he could control was Danyang and Jiujiang two counties, and he had to face the surrounding princes at any time, where would he have the spare strength to raise a naval army? Now, the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River have fallen into Liu Xin's hands, and he doesn't expect to be able to recover it in the short term, his focus is first and foremost on self-preservation.

Seeing that the sailor didn't squeak, just stared at him up and down, Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but get annoyed, and asked, "Why don't you sail the boat yet?" ”

The sailor didn't bother to pay attention to him, and lay down slowly, muttering, "Without the orders of the lord, who would dare to sail and live impatiently?" ”

Tai Shi Ci was furious when he heard this, raised his foot and kicked the sailor down the river, holding a spear in one hand and rocking the oar in the other, and the boat rowed towards the center of the river with the waves.

The sailor who fell into the river was very good at water, and he climbed ashore after two strokes, but the weather was cold, and he fell into the water, and he was really frozen, shivering all over, and struggled to run in the direction of the camp, shouting loudly as he ran: "Oh no, no, someone has taken the boat and thrown himself into the enemy......

Someone had already arrived, set up the sailor, and dragged him into the tent. Facing Liu Miao and a group of generals, of course he wouldn't say what Tai Shi Ci said in front of him, only that Tai Shi Ci came to the riverside, and without saying a word, he kicked him down the Yangtze River and grabbed the boat.

Liu Miao slapped the cases in front of him hard, and said angrily: "Okay, you are too Shici, Liu entrusted you to be a captain because of your fellow villagers, but after scolding you, he actually abandoned Liu Mou, what a vertical son!" ”

Xue Li arched his hand and said: "The lord is angry, but he is just a small captain, why bother to be angry with him." If he does not return, he will be beheaded in public when he returns, and that is to be done by military law. ”

Liu Miao snorted and said, "Okay, pass on my general order, as long as you see Tai Shici, kill him immediately!" ”

But it was said that Tai Shi Ci was rocking the small boat, and when he didn't travel long, he was only discovered by the naval warships patrolling on the river, and the flag bearer on the boat waved the small pennant in his hand repeatedly, and soon three clippers outflanked him.

Since ancient times, it is a dangerous thing to cross the river by boat, especially for the people of Xuzhou who are not accustomed to water. Therefore, all civilian ships are arranged to cross the river during the day, and not only that, but during the day, all the small and medium-sized ships of the navy will be responsible for patrolling the river, in case someone falls into the water, they can be rescued in time. Although Tai Shici's boat was small, it was very eye-catching because of the different direction he was taking, so it didn't take long for it to be discovered.

On the boat in the first place, Huang Gai held a shield in one hand and a steel whip in the other, and asked sharply, "Who is coming!" ”

When Tai Shi Ci saw a boat coming just now, he had already stopped the oar in his hand, secretly wielded his bow and arrow, and when he heard Huang Gai's question, he didn't answer, he saw it clearly, and raised his hand to shoot an arrow.

Huang Gai suddenly heard the sound of the bowstring, and hurriedly raised his shield to block it, but the arrow came so fast that he couldn't dodge it in a hurry, only to feel a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he had already hit an arrow. This is also Tai Shi Ci is not used to water warfare, his arrow was originally going to Huang Gai's throat, but because the wind on the river was high and urgent, and the hull of the ship was undulating, this arrow was missed. Rao is like this, the power of Tai Shici's arrow is still very amazing, and he took Huang Gai back two steps and went down the river with a "plop". The sailors on the boat were shocked, and they didn't care about Tai Shici's boat, so they approached to rescue them.

Tai Shi Ci sneered, pulled out another wolf tooth arrow from the quiver, and was about to put on the bow, when he suddenly heard a "whoosh" wind sound in the back of his head, he subconsciously blocked it with the iron tire bow in his hand, and with a "bang" sound, a sharp arrow hit the bowstring, and the bowstring broke in response. Tai Shi Ci turned his head and saw a big ship ploughing straight over here in the wind, and he was shocked.

Although he is not accustomed to water warfare, he is extremely proficient in water. Seeing that the ship is coming very quickly, if you are knocked over by this big ship and fall into the water, and this boat continues to plow over the river, you are very likely to be sucked by the bottom of the boat, and no matter how good you are in the water, you will not escape death.

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly threw the broken bow and swayed the oar with all his might, trying to avoid the big ship. But the boat came extremely fast, and it didn't give him the slightest room to dodge, and it crashed into it all of a sudden, and Tai Shi Ci didn't have time to react, and it had already fallen into the river.

The boat overturned Tai Shici's boat, and instead of plowing over his head as he feared, it came to a halt with a sharp slam, which showed that the sailors on board were already very skilled in maneuvering the ship.

Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat, holding a compound strong bow in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Cast the net!" ”

Tai Shici fell into the river, and when he saw that the enemy ship did not plow over, he was relieved. Relying on the water to be proficient, Tai Shici pierced out three feet away, and just came out to take a breath, he saw a big net falling all over the sky. It was too late for him to dodge, and he had already been caught in the net, and the soldiers on the big ship dragged him onto the boat.

Gan Ning snorted coldly and said, "Tie up!" ”

Although Tai Shici was heroic, how could the river water in winter be extremely cold, only this moment of effort, he was already so cold that his hands and feet were numb, where did he still have the strength to resist, so he had to be obediently tied up, and he was tied up like a dumpling.

A few clippers over there have also rescued Huang Gai and sent him over to the big boat. There were military doctors accompanying the big ship, and they hurriedly organized treatment. Tai Shici's arrow is very powerful, and the wolf tooth arrow used has a barb on it, but the cotton armor on Huang Gai's body is not ordinary cotton, but raw silk, and several clothes close to the body are also silk fabrics, these raw silk and silk are tightly wound on the wolf tooth arrow, which greatly slows down the strength of the arrow, and it can be easily pulled out, the injury is not very serious, but it was stimulated by the biting river water, Huang Gai's lips were bruised, his face was very ugly, and he drank two bowls of ginger soup in succession, and he felt better.

Huang Gai took a breath and said, "General Gan, has the kid who cast the cold arrow ever caught?" ”

Gan Ning saw that Huang Gai was able to speak, and knew that he was no longer in trouble, so he couldn't help but relax and said, "Don't worry, we have so many boats, if we let that kid run away again, we won't have to be human beings in the future." There's nothing going on here, I'll let someone send you to Jiangnan, and you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”

When Huang Gai heard that Tai Shici had been caught, his eyes burst into flames, and he struggled to get up to teach him a lesson.

Gan Ning hurriedly held him down and persuaded: "Gongfu, the lord has a strict order not to abuse prisoners, don't be impulsive, if you violate military discipline, no one will be able to save you at that time." Besides, that kid is a good man, and it is a little admirable that he dares to stand in the way of us alone and in a boat. ”

Huang Gai sighed and said, "Huang was embarrassed to be thrown home this time, and he actually landed an arrow on the enemy. Dare to ask General Gan what he intends to do with him? ”

Gan Ning muttered: "If he just blocked the movement of my fleet, Gan would have the intention to let him go, but since he injured the general, Gan is not good at making his own decisions, so he should send someone to send him to Xiangyang and wait for the lord to fall." ”

Liu Xian's biggest worry was that Tai Shi Ci's departure would leak his defense by the river, so that Liu Xin's troops would have a chance to take advantage of it, but by dusk, Tai Shi Ci did not appear again, and there were fewer and fewer ships on the river. In Liu Xuan's eyes, Tai Shi Ci is just a young student, and he doesn't think Tai Shi Ci has much ability, so he doesn't attach much importance to Tai Shi Ci. As long as those naval warships did not dock and did not violate his borders, Liu Miao no longer took this matter to heart.

However, it was said that Qin Yi went all the way south, although he adopted delaying tactics, stopped and stopped, and arrived in Guangling in a few days, but he saw that it was full of depression. He was born in the Xiliang army, and he was used to burning, killing and looting, and when he saw such a scene, he didn't care. However, in order to understand the reality of Zhenrong, he also took a lot of effort to catch a few people, and after asking, he learned that Zhenrong was no longer in Guangling, and the people here had fled to the Yangtze River, and were preparing to cross the river to the south and go to the refugee camp in Wu County.

Qin Yi was hesitating whether to move forward or report the situation here to Liu Bei first, but when he saw a lot of smoke and dust behind him, it turned out that the response led by Cao Bao had arrived.

Cao Bao has been a general for a few days, and has participated in the deliberations organized by Tao Qian many times, when he heard about this situation, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and said in a loud voice: "No, we must hurry up and catch up, we can't let these people flee to Jiangnan, we must find ways to keep them!" ”

Although Qin Yi was reluctant in his heart, with the help of Cao Bao, a force of ten thousand lives, he was much more down-to-earth. So, the two joined forces and waved their troops straight to the river. After two more days, when they came to the river, they saw only that the last group of people had boarded the boats and slowly sailed away from the riverbank, and they could only look at the river and sigh.
