1318 Joan Ngoc Strait
Zhuge Liang's dispatch of troops suppressed Meng Shu, so that he did not dare to act rashly for a while. When Wang Baoyu heard the news, he was full of gratitude to Zhuge Liang, and felt deeply in his heart that only relatives would do their best to help.
After the soldiers passed through Yulin, the Jingyue army was divided into two routes, and Mo Qianxun took Qian Mo and Han Zikui and 50,000 troops into Hepu, intending to prevent Luo Yueguo's army from sneaking up from the rear. Wang Baoyu led Ma Yunlu and Ruan Xiongqi and the rest of the army, went straight to the Qiongyu Peninsula and entered Xu Wen.
For the safety of Wang Baoyu, Zuo Ci did not leave, and followed him to Xuwen County. It seems that this old brother has been nagging and complaining all the way, but in fact, his heart is like stopping water, and he really has two hits, in such a hot weather, the Taoist robe is still tightly worn, and there is no sweat.
The county magistrate stationed in Xuwen County was named Xu Jing, who was in his early fifties and had a thin body. It is said that since the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Xu family has been an official here, and the name Xu Wen County is based on the name of his ancestors, and Xu Jing is considered a hereditary county order.
The county seat of Xuwen is not large, and the local garrison is only a few thousand people, but the geographical location is very important, so far to the south less than a hundred miles, is the Qiongyu Strait, and the Yelang country is on the opposite side of the strait. As long as you pass Guò Xuwen County, then subduing the little Yelang is just around the corner.
Thinking of this, Wang Baoyu was a little excited, and he was always marching in a hurry along the way. Hearing that Wang Baoyu was coming with a large army, Xu Jing hurriedly went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, respectfully invited him to the official residence, and then led the county officials to bow down.
After that, Xu Jingbi respectfully personally served a bowl of tea soup, light golden, mellow fragrance: "Please King Hanxing drink this bowl of tea soup to relieve the heat." ”
Wang Baoyu brought it over and drank it all, not only did it taste good, but he did feel that his eyes were much brighter, and Xu Jing and other officials were also happy, after all, this represented the trust of King Hanxing in them.
Wang Baoyu sat up straight and asked, "Xu County Order, after Xu Wen, it is the Qiongyu Strait, and it goes straight to Yelang." I see that the scale of this city is not large, why didn't the Yelang soldiers come to rob it? ”
"Yelang didn't come to attack, because the position was important, it would be difficult to occupy it for a long time. Moreover, the sea area on three sides is vast, if it is trapped here, it is difficult to retreat! Xu Jing explained.
Wang Baoyu nodded, as if there was some truth, and asked again: "How is the situation on Yelang's side?" ”
"Before Yelang returned to the country, Hu Taichuan, the Taishou of Zhuya, often came to visit, and he had a good relationship with me. Since hearing that he had been attached to Luo Yue, Xu cut off relations with him and did not get along, but he didn't know what he planned to do today. Xu Jing said frankly.
"Did Yoro always think they were the biggest country?" Wang Baoyu asked about this interesting topic again.
"In the past, King Yelang did think so, and after being conquered by Zhao Tuo, he realized that what he saw was shallow, and the island on which he was based was blessed with rich resources, and the people had always had no worries about food and clothing." Xu Jingdao.
After staying for one night, early the next morning, Wang Baoyu rode the Wind Tiger coaxingly, accompanied by Ma Yunlu, to check the surrounding situation.
All the way to the south, at the speed of the Wind Tiger and the White Flame Ox, the journey of a hundred miles only took half an hour, and when he reached the seaside, Wang Baoyu's brows immediately furrowed.
The endless sea, the blue is clear, take out the telescope, and I didn't see the Zhuya Island where the Yelang Country is located, Wang Baoyu climbed high and looked far away, except that the sea is the sea, I couldn't see the shadow of Zhuya Island at all, I didn't expect the distance to be so far.
It seems that Yelang is not as vulnerable as he imagined, and occupies the advantage of geographical advantages. The warship from Guangzhou had already stopped at the seaside, led by Ruan Xiongqi, and Wang Baoyu called him over and asked: "General Ruan, how far are we from Zhuya Island!" ”
"Back to King Hanxing, about fifty miles away from here."
I'll go, this is ten times wider than the river at the red cliff, no wonder Yelang dares to return to the country, if there are not enough warships, he doesn't dare to go at all.
Wang Baoyu misses his ocean-going ship, only this kind of warship can play a huge role, but unfortunately the hull is too big to bring it.
Wang Baoyu instructed Ruan Xiongqi to closely watch Yelang's every move, and then he left the south, turned to the east of the Qiongyu Peninsula, and came to the coast, where the endless sea was still in front of him.
Wang Baoyu's mind was thinking about a very strict question, if Yelang Kingdom had enough warships, and they were all elite sailors, his thousand warships would be ambushed by him halfway, and it would be difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.
On the bright side, the Jingzhou army drove straight in, but if Yelang's ships were scattered on the sea, they would run away when they saw that they couldn't be defeated, and the sea was vast, where could they go to pursue them at that time, that is, they would not be able to be completely defeated. After all, the other party still has a lot of troops, and it can't also leave so many soldiers and horses on the island to compete.
Now that you're here, let's take one step at a time!
In front of Wang Baoyu and Ma Yunlu is a golden sandy beach, there are few people in this era, because of the war, this place is empty.
Wang Baoyu was originally a northerner, and after crossing the Three Kingdoms, he had just adapted to the weather in the Central Plains, but the scorching heat in the south still caused him a lot of trouble.
After Wang Baoyu and Ma Yunlu agreed, they immediately rode two divine beasts to the seaside. The two of them took off their clothes and jumped into the shallow sea, haha, it's really refreshing! Wang Baoyu got out of the water, but he didn't see Ma Yunlu's figure, and hurriedly shouted and looked around.
Suddenly, his feet were caught, Wang Baoyu knew that it was Ma Yunlu who made trouble, and laughed and fluttered, "Help, Yunyun is going to murder her husband!" ”
Seeing that the two of them were having fun in the sea, the Wind Tiger and the White Flame Cow glanced at each other, and then went down to the sea, and the two beasts made waves in the water.
The sea water is cool, making people feel comfortable, Wang Baoyu and Ma Yunlu are teasing each other, frolicking and laughing, as if returning to childhood.
After playing enough, the two of them lay on the beach with their hands on their pillows, Ma Yunlu looked at the blue sky and white clouds, turned his head and gave Wang Baoyu a kiss, and said: "Baoyu, I only hope that this love will last forever." ”
"There is nothing eternal and unchanging in this world, only by grasping the present is true happiness." Wang Baoyu said, got up and picked up the fine sand, and covered Ma Yunlu's body.
Ma Yunlu giggled, thinking it was very funny, and only her head was covered by the fine sand, and then she stuck out her tongue and pretended to be dead, which made Wang Baoyu laugh uncontrollably.
The happy time will always end, and it will not be until dusk comes, when Wang Baoyu and Ma Yunlu reluctantly put on their clothes and left the coast.
