"Night crossing? Isn't that too dangerous? ”

Xun Yu and Guo Jia couldn't help but be shocked when they heard that Liu Bei wanted to cross the Yellow River overnight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The ancients mostly had night blindness, and even had problems with night movements, so you have a night crossing, and you also cross the Yellow River at night, isn't that a joke?

Of course, Liu Bei was not joking, and he was already halfway through, of course he did not cross the river by boat, but based on the boat, hooked with iron chains, and built a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

The narrowest part of the Yellow River is only 300 meters, and the widest part is only 2,000 meters, and there is no narrowest near Mengjin, but it can also be found in places that are slightly narrower and the water is gentle.

And most of this pontoon bridge has been built, of course, it was built in the evening and early morning, and tonight it has to be built on the opposite bank, in order not to make the Mengjin Xiliang army suspicious, Liu Bei had to prepare a feint.

The most experienced in night raids is the special guards, Liu Bei has long let them break away from the large army, day and night to rush here, as for the large army has just entered Hanoi County, when they arrive in Heyang, the army may have crossed the Yellow River.

In Pingyin County, Huaxiong always felt uneasy when he came back from inspecting the Yellow River, so he came to see Dong Min and asked Dong Min to send more people to organize inspections on the riverbank.

Hu Zhen said disdainfully: "In addition to Meng Jin, this Pingyin realm is the most suitable for crossing the army, so can you use scattered troops to patrol?" Instead of scattering the troops, it is better to gather the troops together, where Liu Bei crosses the river, it is better to let him cross the river for a while, and then we will attack it halfway, I don't believe that we can't drive them down the Yellow River. ”

Dong Min nodded, his Yulinwei is also a strong army, plus their families have moved to Chang'an with the Xiliang army, and there is no need to worry about loyalty.

Hua Xiong is the first general of Xiliang, and Dong Min has had a lot of contact with him, so he naturally didn't want to chill his heart, and comforted: "Captain Hua, I know your thoughts, but the lord has already led people through Gucheng, and he will soon pass through Hangu Pass, once the lord enters Hangu Pass, this Meng Jin will give up to Liu Xuande, and we will also go to Hangu Pass to garrison."

"Give it to him? Don't you want this Kanto? ”

Although Hua Xiong has this heart, he still feels a little uncomfortable when he hears Dong Min say it himself.

Hu Zhen saw Dong Min's embarrassed face, and said: "It's not that you don't want to, but to temporarily avoid the momentum of the alliance of the Kwantung princes, once the alliance of the Kwantung princes is frustrated under the Hangu Pass, it will definitely fall apart, and then we will fight back?"

"Yes! Don't dwell on the moment, come, drink. ”

Dong Min got up and pulled Hua Xiong into the table, Hua Xiong had something on his mind, and he quickly got drunk under the persuasion of Dong Min and Hu Zhen.

Dong Min and Hu Zhen looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard a report from the next person, torches appeared on the opposite bank, and a moving fire source appeared in the air.

Could it be that Liu Bei wants to cross the Yellow River overnight? Is it possible? The Yellow River is wide enough, and there are undercurrents everywhere, so you need to be cautious during the day, and crossing the river at night is not looking for death?

Hu Zhen said: "Three generals, I think this is Liu Bei's tired strategy, he sent people to pretend to cross the river at night, so that a certain group of troops can be sent to respond, and then he retreated, so that our army could not rest, he crossed the river during the day." These are all his usual methods. ”

"You mean leave him alone."

Dong Min suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have drunk Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong heard in a daze that someone was going to cross the Yellow River at night, and he shook his head and shouted: "Whoever wants to cross the river, someone will personally take someone to drive him down the river and drown him."

Dong Min saw that Hua Xiong struggled several times and didn't get up, it seemed that Hua Xiong was completely drunk, and said: "No one crosses the river, no one crosses the river, you can rest in peace!" Someone came to take Captain Hua down to rest. ”

Meng Jindu, Hu Zhen's nephew Hu Miao was personally stationed here, and he also had a fine Xiliang iron cavalry under his command, plus many private soldiers recruited by Hu Zhen.

It is said that he transported several boatloads of goods to Xiliang every day, although Hu Miao was greedy and good, but he did not forget his duty, once the Lu Cheng army crossed the river, his life could not be guaranteed.

No, as soon as a torch appeared on the other side, he personally went to the ferry to check and noticed the fire source floating in the air, Hu Miao had never encountered such a thing, and quickly sent someone to inform his uncle and Dong Min.

Hu Miao also ordered the whole army to be on alert.

Dong Min ordered the envoy to come back, and Hu Miao gave a sigh of relief, and asked a team of Xiliang iron horsemen to take strict precautions at crossing the river, so as not to be really attacked by a small group of Lucheng troops, and Hu Miao was famous in Xiliang at that time.

As soon as Hu Miao returned to the camp and was about to go to bed, he saw a group of Henan scholars carrying grain, grass, wine, and cattle and sheep.

"Ask them what they're going to do?"

As soon as Hu Miao gave the order, he saw his cheap old man (the leader of the scholar clan who gave Hu Miao a woman) coming, and he waved towards Hu Miao from afar, Hu Miao was very proud in his heart, he used to grovel when he met the Shi clan, but he didn't expect that now it was their turn.

This is all thanks to the Lord!

"Hu Lang, but there are thieves crossing the river?"

Hu Miao waved his hand, and his subordinates put the person over, and Hu Miao's cheap old man asked as soon as he approached Hu Miao's body.

Hu Miao shook his face: "This is a military secret, but can you ask?"

The man's face turned pale for a while: "Hu Lang is not spying on secrets again, if the thief army attacks the Yellow River, what should I do!"

Seeing that they were worried about their own safety, Hu Miao relaxed a little and said, "Don't worry! It's just a small army of thieves, don't say you can't go to the river, even if you cross the river, you will send someone to protect you and leave. ”

The man's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you Hu Lang, then thank you Hu Lang!" A certain specially brought wine and meat to Hu Lang, so that the brothers could eat more, and they would have the spirit to prevent the attack of the thief army. ”

Hu Miao deliberately glanced at it, the people who came to deliver wine and meat were all old and weak, and there were very few young and strong, and he relaxed a little more in his heart and said: "Eat more meat, don't drink wine, maybe there will be war at night?"

"Hey! Good, good. ”

The old man said yes again and again.

After Hu Miao went back, he ate and drank heavily accompanied by the old man, and he was slightly drunk after a while, and said, "Let's stop here today!" Maybe there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, so let's go back! So-and-so is going to rest. ”

"Okay, okay."

The old man saw Hu Miao enter the inner room and bowed his head and went out, and saw that the soldiers outside were complaining about the cold weather and too little wine, so he was busy giving a look to a guy, who nodded secretly and took a jar of wine.

The old man personally held it in his hand, filled Xiliangjun with wine and said: "Hu Lang is drunk and rested, and everyone also drinks some to dispel the cold."

"Isn't Hu Lang not allowed to drink?"

There is a slightly sane military marquis.

The old man walked up to him and said, "If you drink so little in the sky, you should drive away the cold."

The old man said and handed him a bowl of wine, and the military marquis took it thoughtfully, smelled the wine and drank it all in one go, and said, "Good wine!"

"Then another bowl."

The military marquis drank several bowls unconsciously.

This is not a low-alcohol wine in the Han Dynasty, but a high-alcohol wine purified by Lu Cheng, and he can't drink these bowls without tens of thousands of dollars in normal times.

The military marquis felt a little dizzy, and said, "Don't drink this bowl after drinking, you still have to keep vigil to prepare for war?"
