Governor please stay

To the north of Shaoling, there is a river called Dashui, which was dug by Cao Pi in the past. It is a canal for transporting troops and food.

Also known as the Qulu Canal, it connects the Ru River, Ying River, and Li River.The strategic position in the past was very important, but it was only in the past.

The geographical location adjacent to Dashui made Shaoling an important town in Henan for a while.

But Shaoling, which prospered because of water, also declined because of water.With the silting of the flood, Shaoling also lost its strategic position back then.Henan has changed hands countless times in the past few hundred years, and naturally no one is willing to expend effort and thankless efforts to dredge the river.

However, although boats are prone to run aground in heavy water, some areas are seriously silted up.However, it is not easy to cross the river!
Gao Huan didn't pay attention when he came, but when he was about to run away, he realized that the flood and other rivers bound Shaoling City tightly like a rope.

It is surrounded by east, west, north and three sides, leaving only the land road to the south.

To put it simply, his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were trapped in Shaoling City and the surrounding area (the city is small, and all the soldiers and horses cannot enter).It's hard to tell if this place was handpicked!

"Let's talk about it, how can we solve this crisis?"

At the head of Shaoling City, Gao Huan looked around the generals and asked in a deep voice, looking at the soldiers of the Wei army sitting on the ground who were too hungry to move.

"In the northwest of Shaoling, on the banks of the Yingshui River, there is a city named Fanchang. There should not be many Liang army camps there. As long as you cross the flood and break through the siege of the Liang army, you can get here. Other routes are desperate, Wang Gaowang think twice. "

Zhang Baoluo cupped his hands and said, he seemed to have seen through Liang Jun's tricks. Liang Jun was just luring them to attack Ruyang City, but there was an ambush on all sides!

The trick of crossing the river seems to be a toss, but it is actually the only way out.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Yishou is in the "Siege of the Three Conquers", and no one can say exactly how.

Although you can predict, I can also see through your prediction, and thus predict your prediction.

The infinite cycle of dolls is endless, everyone is guessing the size, and there can never be a perfect answer.

"What do you think?"

Gao Huan looked back at Xue Guyan and the others and asked.

"I am willing to die for King Gao!"

All the generals said in unison.

"Let's go prepare, and cross the flood tomorrow morning!"

The flood waters have long since been abandoned, especially in certain sections of the river that have been severely silted up.

However, these silted areas are quite different from the imaginary "like walking on flat ground".

To some extent, its terrain is complicated and difficult to walk, even worse than those small rivers that have not yet passed the top of the head.

This made Gao Huan very dizzy!

First of all, the silt that silts up the river is very soft and loose, and it is impossible for people to stand on it, and many of them are even a mixture of mud and water.It is common for ordinary people to step on it, and it will sink in an instant. It is common for people who are unlucky to die directly.

Wanting to step on the ground directly is just a dream.

Secondly, the location where the river is silted up is very muddy and slippery.Although there is no way to get on the boat, even if someone can avoid getting stuck, it is impossible to move under such conditions.

Finally, the most important point is: not all parts of the silted river cannot be sailed, and some rivers are only half blocked!Coupled with the small warships in ancient China, the draft was very shallow, and even river ditches could barely pass.

Therefore, Wei Jun is not sure whether Liang Jun's small boats will appear on the big water.

Gao Huan guessed that this was probably still possible.Because in the battle to support Qiluo City, it was guessed from the marching route that Wu Mingche's navy was very likely to transfer from Yingshui to Rushui through the flood.

The river is not suitable for naval warfare, and whether it can pass through the ship is completely two concepts!
Therefore, Gao Huan didn't know if he could escape.But now he has no choice but to give it a go.

Wei Jun removed all the door panels, wall panels and other things that could be made of wood in Shaoling City, and connected them one by one with straw ropes.When the army "crossed the river", they spread these boards and other things on the mud.

In order to prevent the length of the pontoon bridge from being insufficient, they also cut down all the trees around Shaoling, tied the branches together and laid them flat for spare use.

When the sun is about to dawn, it is the most sleepy time for a person, and it is also the time when the spirit is the most relaxed.Xue Guyan, Gao Huan's subordinate, and his elite soldiers, took advantage of the fish-belly light from the sky, and carefully spread the interconnected wooden planks on the mud on the ground one by one.

The pioneer who crossed the river was laying planks while observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.

However, the expected ambush did not appear, but to Xue Guyan's surprise, the planks used to "pave the road" were not enough!

Xue Guyan hurriedly ordered his men to bring the branches that were bundled together, and then spread the branches on the ground, and only then did they reach the other side of the big water smoothly.

Thank goodness it's business as usual!
"Go back and send an order to King Gao that the whole army can start crossing the river."

Xue Guyan whispered to the soldiers.

"Here!" The soldiers took the order and left.

Soon, the soldier returned to the small town of Shaoling smoothly.

"Xue Guyan is very quick in handling things."

Seeing that Xue Guyan's personal soldiers returned smoothly, Gao Huan nodded slightly and sighed with relief.A good beginning is half the battle.Now that I can cross the river smoothly, it is no problem to go to Fanchang.

"The whole army begins to cross the river!"

Gao Huan looked around at the generals under his command and shouted.

"Follow the orders of the high king!"

On the top of the city, a group of generals knelt in front of Gao Huan.

With Xue Guyan exploring the way ahead, the marching speed of the follow-up troops was obviously much faster.Gao Huan had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and in a blink of an eye, thousands of people were on the other side of the river.

"King Gao, I will escort you across the river."

Modolo Jingxian said to Gao Huan, holding up a shield attentively and walking in front of Gao Huan.

"Well, General Modolo has a heart."

Gao Huan nodded in relief, and did not pretend to be polite on this kind of matter.

So he asked Modolo Jingxian to take the lead, followed by himself, and under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, they went up to the pontoon bridge together.Both of them were wearing the military uniforms of ordinary soldiers, and the soldiers around them were also dressed in the same way, following in the team inconspicuously.

Just as the two walked more than half on the pontoon bridge and were about to reach the opposite bank, suddenly a spear was shot from somewhere on the river. shield, and shot into his stomach.

Then the huge recoil brought it flying and nailed it in the mud not far away.Everything happened so quickly that the soldiers around Gao Huan didn't even have time to react!
Gao Huan's eyes widened in fright, and his whole body couldn't help but wobble!
Modolo Jingxian, who was still talking to him just now, was "sent into the soul" in a blink of an eye. Who would believe such a thing?
As the saying goes, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, it is really not nonsense!
Gao Huan turned his head to look at the direction where the spear was coming from. There was a warship of Liang Jun. Because the river was silted up and the draft was deep, he couldn't get close to the pontoon bridge. He had to shoot a crossbow to interfere with Wei Jun's crossing.

The soldiers operating the bed crossbow on the boat must have never imagined that they almost took Gao Huan away with their shot just now!Fortunately, when Modolo Jingxian was talking to Gao Huan, the two stopped and stopped for a step, and they happened to stagger their positions.

To some extent, Modolo Jingxian helped Gao Huan "block the gun"!

"King Gao, go ahead, you can't turn back now!"

The soldiers around Gao Huan shouted, pulling Gao Huan and running away.

Now behind them are the soldiers of the Wei army crossing the river. If Gao Huan turns around and returns to Shaoling, he will definitely be trampled into a pulp by the gangsters!The organization of the army is in chaos, who cares if you are the chief general!
Only by desperately rushing through the flood can we fight for a way out for ourselves!
In today's game, even a fool can understand that if you can't get through the flood, you will definitely die!You can only surrender obediently and give your life to the enemy!

"Rush! Run!"

Gao Huan yelled, but he didn't need to yell. The soldiers in front of him were already running wildly on the pontoon bridge. The spears shot by Liang Jun's bed crossbow were more than just the one just now!Many people, like Modolo Jingxian, were shot by the powerful spear and nailed to the mud in the river, unable to move.

"Boom!"

The guard in front of Gao Huan had an arrow stuck into the shield he was holding!The speed couldn't help but slow down a few beats.This arrow was shot from the opposite bank, not the same group as those on the warship.

"Rush over, stop and die!"

Gao Huan roared angrily.

He said nonsense again, at this time Xue Guyan had already killed the Dugu Xinbu soldiers who had come to intercept Liang Jun.

But because there were less than a few thousand soldiers of the Wei army crossing the river, and they were all lightly armed and had no armor (too hungry to wear), so they suffered a big loss when they fought!
After all, they are fighting hungry!Even if you can barely support it, how brave can you be?

A large area of ​​Wei Jun was thrown down like wheat, and corpses wearing Wei Jun's black military uniforms were strewn everywhere on the ground.

Seeing that he still had enough strength to fight on his side, Duguxin dispatched a thousand crossbowmen to shoot at the Wei army who was crossing the river. The mud pits on both sides of the pontoon bridge were full of soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground.

Some people even had more than a dozen arrows stuck in their corpses, and the blood stained both sides of the pontoon bridge red, making this board-paved pontoon bridge a veritable "bridge of death".

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a time, now is the time to repay King Gao's kindness! King Gao, go north! The north is Yingshui!"

Xue Guyan shouted in the direction behind him.

He took the lead in the charge, and his subordinates, regardless of life and death, insisted on fighting a bloody path from the encirclement circle set by Dugu Xin.Gao Huan led his men to follow Xue Guyan, and rushed out of the encirclement together.

At this time, the small paddle steamer of Liang Jun's navy had broken into a place very close to the pontoon bridge, and threw a bottle filled with kerosene on the pontoon bridge.The ignited fire oil started to burn when it hit the pontoon bridge, and the flames spread to people, one after another.

There are many Wei Jun rolling in the muddy water, and the screams resound through the sky!
The morale of the soldiers of the Wei army who were frantically crossing the river finally collapsed at this moment!

Can't fight, can't run away, can't deal with it.He had no choice but to run back to Zhaoling.

Those who were able to run for the time being kept rushing towards Shaoling City, while the soldiers who couldn't run ran towards the small warships on the river desperately, trying to die with them.

But they were always engulfed in mud before they touched Liang Jun's ships.

Wei Jun on the head of Shaoling City looked at the shocking scene near the Dashui floating bridge, all of them looked ashen.I don't know if it's because I'm hungry or because I'm scared.

……

"Governor Yu, most of Gao Huan's army was besieged in the small town of Shaoling, and the rest went along the Yingshui River. General Hu has already led the navy to pursue them."

The soldiers sent by Duguxin reported to Yu Jin who had camped outside Shaoling City.It is now the last moment to close the net, and there is no suspense about whether they can win.

What Yu Jin wants is complete victory!
At the beginning, Yu Jin set up several sets of interception plans, but Gao Huan really chose the escape plan that looked the most dangerous, but was actually the least risky.Yu Jin didn't underestimate Gao Huan, so he correctly guessed the other party's intention.

If Gao Huan directly attacked Ruyang, the battle would not be so smooth.

"Have you caught any prisoners? Is Gao Huan in Shaoling City, or has he gone north to Fanchang?"

Yu Jin asked in a low voice.

"General Hu's navy shot Modolo Jingxian to death with a bed crossbow. The body has been found. According to the captives, Gao Huan was very close to Modolo Jingxian at that time, and he probably ran away with Xue Guyan.

But they didn't have many people along the way, no more than a thousand soldiers and horses at most.I only know that it is heading towards Yingshui in the north, but it is hard to say which direction it is.

Yu Dudu, Gao Huan's division of troops is also very likely, this is the golden cicada's plan to get out of its shell. "

This soldier has also read some books, and he speaks clearly and logically.

Xue Guyan's troops were the first to cross the river. Liang Jun didn't do anything at that time, so the other party brought over dozens of horses, not to say that they were used for Gao Huan's running, but in fact they were used as rations for the army to eat on the road.

The battle on the north bank of Dashui was extremely fierce, with more than 1000 casualties on Duguxin's side, so it is impossible for Wei Jun's side to have many people rushing out of the encirclement.

Dividing the troops to distract the pursuers and cover Gao Huan's retreat seems to be the only option!

"Let Yang Zhong and Peng Le pursue along Yingshui. Yang Zhong pursues Ruyang in the east, Peng Le pursues Fanchang in the northwest, and Dugu Xin leads the infantry to attack Xiangcheng County in the west. Take all The route is blocked, this time Gao Huan can't fly!"

Yu Jin ordered calmly.

As for his mission, it was to cooperate with the Liang Guoshui army to besiege the remnants of the Wei army in Shaoling City, and send people to persuade them to surrender by the way.Liang armies from all over Henan are now concentrating on Shaoling, and will soon besiege this place tightly.

……

The team with almost everyone injured came to a river, and there was no way ahead.The river generally runs east-west, and it is clear that it is a very special section of Yingshui.

Because this section is very powerful, the Yuan Dynasty simply opened the gate from the place where the original Qiluo City was located, diverting the Ru River to join the Ying River.

"Where is this?"

Gao Huan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Xue Guyan beside him.At noon in early summer, with the scorching sun in the sky, marching is not a comfortable job.

"Gao Wang, along the Yingshui River, the west is connected to Fanchang, and the east is Ruyang. I ask Gao Wang to decide where to go. Now that people are exhausted and horses are exhausted, it is impossible to cross the river and go away."

Xue Guyan cupped his hands and said to Gao Huan.

"Let's go to Ruyang. The idea of ​​going to Fanchang has been seen through by Liang Jun. Going there is a dead end."

Gao Huan sighed, with mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything now.

"King Gao, if you continue to march like this, you will definitely die. The general suggested that my lord take a few soldiers and put on fishermen's clothes. If you can find a fishing boat on the shore of Yingshui, you can board the boat and go north by water.

If you can't find a boat, you can fish in troubled waters and just walk along the banks of the Yingshui River.

The final general took these hundreds of remnants, pretended to be the main force, and led away the pursuers. "

Xue Guyan knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted Gao Huan and suggested.

"Oh, why is this, why is this!"

Gao Huan beat his chest and stamped his feet, pulled Xue Guyan's sleeves and burst into tears.Obviously, to divert the enemy's pursuit is tantamount to death, and there is no other way out.

"King Gao, if this road is false, then it is worth thinking about who will go to Ruyang."

Xue Guyan woke up suddenly, and found that there was a major loophole in this plan: he or Gao Huan, who would go to Ruyang better!

This choice is so important that it may even affect whether Gao Huan can finally return to Hebei!
"Indeed."

Gao Huan also recalled, nodded slightly and remained silent.

This is like drawing a lottery. If you reach in and catch one, it may be done directly.But if you really give you a number for you to choose, you will hesitate in various ways.

"I'll go to Ruyang."

Gao Huan said with certainty.

"But King Gao, the Fanchang side must have looser defenses. The Ruyang (Zhoukou, Henan) river converges, and the Liang army must have deployed heavy troops there!"

Xue Guyan said very worriedly.

"No need, in fact, it's just a matter of survival. These trivial details can't affect the overall situation, so let's make a decision like this."

Gao Huan said in a dejected manner, obviously not too concerned about where to escape from.

"Take care, High King!"

Xue Guyan saluted Gao Huan, then turned around and left with his soldiers and horses, and soon only Gao Huan and five of his own soldiers including Liu Taozhi stayed where they were, looking at the rushing Yingying Water, the group didn't know what to say for a long time.

"Take off the military uniforms and burn them, put on the short jackets that fishermen often wear, and set off!"

Gao Huan said to everyone in a deep voice.

So far, he has kept his requirements to the minimum, as long as he can return to Hebei smoothly this time, it will be blessed by God, and the Buddha will appear!
As for the others, let's talk about it later, he really can't afford to be hurt.

When the author was a child, a few friends fell into the mud by the river, and one of them was up to his neck in the mud within a few seconds.If it weren't for the adults who rescued them in time, at least one of them would have been hanged at that time.
