Because in everyone’s eyes, Liu Xin came back in a hurry and hurried out again. Even the 10,000 barbarians had just been conscripted, so preparations would not be sufficient. As the saying goes, don’t fight unprepared battles. Inadequate preparation, then this battle will naturally be difficult.
In fact, only Ma Yun knows that Liu Xin has been planning for more than half a year in order to capture the four counties of Central South. The reason why he has not taken action is because the time is not yet ripe. Now, Yong Kai, Gao Ding and others have concentrated the Han soldiers in the four counties of Central South. At the same time, and Meng Huo launched another 100,000 barbarians, almost the entire force of the four counties in Central South was crushed on the Zangke border. The four counties of Central South had many mountains and deep valleys, and the roads were blocked. If you send troops to attack, I don’t know how long it will take. They won, and now they have gathered the 140,000 army. As long as they can catch all these people in one net, then the four counties of Central South will no longer have the ability to resist. This is the time Liu Xin has been waiting for, so he I can’t wait, every minute and every second is going to be launched.
Seeing the sadness on the women’s faces, Liu Xin couldn’t help but smile and said: “Ladies, please cheer up and wait for the news of the master’s triumph. Come on, Ruier, let me take a good look. What are you doing today? This look has lost all the air of the past,"
Yan Rui, who was following Diaochan, suddenly heard Liu Xin yelling out the word "Rui'er", and was taken aback. She was about to move, but saw a thin figure swaying from in front of her and walked in front of Liu Xin. With a deep blessing, he said: "My daughter wishes Daddy victory and triumph soon,"
Yan Rui just remembered that Liu Xin called his stepdaughter Liu Rui, her face flushed with embarrassment. Fortunately, everyone’s attention was on Liu Xin, and no one paid attention to the changes in her expression.
But Liu Xin laughed and said: "Rui Er, when did you become such a lady, this is not your style,"
Zhu Qian groaned and said: "Master, you also said that it was you who spoiled her, she was stubborn and self-willed, and she didn't restrain herself. She will marry the Sun family in the future, so she can't be looked down upon. These days, Rui'er has followed me to learn a little bit. The female worker pointed out that she just took some temper, you can't tolerate her anymore."
Seeing Liu Rui's cowering look, Liu Xin knew that Zhu Qian had not taught her too much these days, so she couldn't help but shook her head and said, "What's the matter with my Liu Xin's daughter being savvy and self-willed? Who dares to look down on you? Don’t want to control your children too hard and obliterate their nature."
After listening to Liu Xin's words, Liu Rui still maintained that respectful look, but there was an imperceptible chuckle at the corner of her mouth.
Liu Rui’s expression did not escape Ma Yun’s eyes. Ma Yun was not worried about Sun Ce’s family of orphans and widows, so she dared to treat Liu Rui, but if Sun Ce left her out of the cold because Liu Rui didn’t understand the house, The husband and wife are not in harmony, but it is also very wrong, so he said: "Master, you just have to fight your battles, and I have to raise and educate the children, so you don't have to worry about it."
Now that Ma Yun has spoken, Liu Xin, who has always been a little confused at her, is naturally inconvenient to say anything, and waved at everyone: "Okay, I will go here soon for more than a month, and it will be half a year later. The wind has already blown outside. , You all go back,"
Suddenly a child broke free from Yan Rui's hand, ran forward, fell to his knees, and slammed three heads towards Liu Xin. Following Liu Rui's appearance, he said in a loud voice, "I wish my father a great victory. ,"
"Hahahaha, Lingqi, you are finally willing to call me daddy, okay." Liu Xin couldn't help but laugh, shouting "OK" three times, and continued, "Lingqi, you practice martial arts well at home, daddy. When you come back from the next expedition, you have to test your homework. If you do well, your father will be rewarded. If you do not well, you will have to spank.
How did he know that the master Ma Yun asked for Lu Lingqi was Diao Chan, a "dancing forest master".
But seeing Lv Lingqi raising her head, she replied solemnly: "Daddy, the daughter must practice dancing well, and the daughter has to come back with the first name. Daddy has to speak and count, and can't forget the reward for his daughter."
From the arrogance on that immature little face, you can vaguely see the shadow of Lu Bu.
Hearing that there are rewards, Liu Rui’s mouth curled up slightly, but seeing Zhu Qian’s stern eyes, as long as he closed his mouth again, Liu Yu, who had just returned from school, yelled: "Daddy, I also want any rewards. Too,"
Several other children also followed up with a booze, but wiped out the sad atmosphere before parting. Liu Xin couldn't help but sigh secretly. It turns out that more dolls are not all harm. With such a group of pistachios, you can still adjust your emotions. ,
Looking at the back of Liu Xin leading the army away, a stone in Yan Rui's heart finally fell to the ground. Her daughter was willing to recognize Liu Xin as a godfather. Naturally, there would be nothing to worry about in the future, in order to let Lu Lingqi recognize Liu Xin as a godfather. Yan Rui didn't know how many tongues she moved, but that stubborn girl just shook her head. She didn't expect that she would take the initiative to stand up today, which really surprised Yan Rui.
In fact, Lu Lingqi is just a child. She is innocent and lively. She still doesn't understand what hatred is, but because she lost her father, she couldn't slow down for a while. In the past few years, Lu Bu has often been fighting abroad to get together with Yan Rui's mother and daughter. Many, Lv Lingqi was not impressed with her father in her childhood.
After coming to Xiangyang, Lu Lingqi came into contact with a completely different world, and in the prefecture, Lu Lingqi was most willing to get close to Liu Rui. Liu Rui had almost the same experience as her. She lost her father when she was a child, and both her mother and daughter were entrusted. The rich are slaves, especially the beautiful stories that Liu Rui tells. They are extremely lethal to the seven-year-old girl. When Lu Lingqi learned that these stories were all told to her by Liu Rui’s father, Liu Xin, Lu Lingqi The attitude towards Liu Xin took a 180-degree turn, and today Liu Xin’s loving words to Liu Rui became the last sticker to uncover Lu Lingqi’s demon, she finally thought There must be a "new dad", and Liu Xin is naturally the best candidate for this "new dad".
Because of the warship Xu Chu brought back from Jiangdong, this time from Xiangyang to Zangke, Liu Xin chose to go straight to Jiangling from the waterway and then cross the Yangtze River. On the bank of the Han River outside the north gate of Xiangyang, soldiers lined up slowly. Slowly board those huge warships,
There are no big rivers in the mountainous forests of Zangke. Zhu Rong grew up in such an environment from childhood to most of the time. At most, he only took a few bamboo rafts. This time he came to Xiangyang. When he was crossing the Yangtze River, Zhu Rong took the first time. I boarded the real ship, but compared with the four-story ships in front of me, the passenger ship was almost like a three-year-old child standing in front of a sturdy man.
Seeing these tall warships, Zhu Rong couldn't help but shrink back involuntarily, remembering how he was on a passenger ship, and the waves were swaying together.
Liu Xin couldn't help but smile upon seeing this: "Does our heroine dare not even sit on a boat?"
The corner of Zhu Rong's mouth was slightly raised, his whip was raised, and he said: "Who said I would not dare to take a boat, I just can't bear to leave this horse."
While talking, Liu Xin had already turned over and jumped off his horse. A soldier had taken the rein from his hand and led the horse away from the springboard on the bow of the ship. Liu Xin pointed his finger and said, "Who let you lose? I got off the horse, you see, my horse has also been on the boat. I wish, girl, if you don’t want to take the boat, you should go back to the prefecture and stay for a while, waiting for the news of my victory. If you want to go to the front line, then Just please,"
Zhu Rong hesitated for a moment, and jumped off the mount in anger, and some soldiers took a step forward and led her fiery red horse, but facing this long springboard, she stagnated a little. Zhu Rong was a martial artist. In the past, whether it was a bamboo raft or a passenger ship, it was just a jump, but with such a tall warship, she couldn’t jump up anyway with her skill, she could only walk through the long springboard.
There are two springboards on the bow of the ship. The one for the horses and vehicles is wider, while the one for people to walk on is much narrower. The so-called springboard is actually just a long wooden board for people or vehicles to get on and off the ship. Use, because people walk on it, this board will jump up and down, the faster you walk, the more powerful you jump, so it’s called a springboard,
Liu Xin looked at the situation and knew that Zhu Rong was not used to this springboard. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, heroine, take my hand over."
Although it’s a bit embarrassing to cross the springboard like this, Zhu Rong's heart still stunned to be able to hold hands with Liu Xin. The Barbarian daughter is not so twitchy. Zhu Rong graciously held Liu Xin's hand and walked carefully. For Liu Xin, it was just a blink of an eye to walk through that long springboard, but with Zhu Rong’s burden, he had to be very careful every step he took. When he reached the bow, he was already exhausted. Sweating profusely,
Zhu Rong has passed, but her four cousins shouted on the other side: "Master, master, please pull us over, too,"
In fact, this work can be done by other soldiers. I believe that the soldiers are also willing to be the flower protectors, but these four little girls know that they are Zhu Rong’s dowry, and they will be Liu Xin’s in the future. Now, how will you give your hands to those soldiers,
However, Liu Xin didn't want to come again. Suddenly saw a big car being pulled on the springboard next to him, his mind flashed, and he pointed at the soldiers beside him and said loudly: "Go, get a car. , Let them sit in the car and pull over,"
After tossing for a long time, the fleet finally pulled out its anchor and set sail. There are ten large ships and twenty clippers in the fleet. Each large ship can carry up to 3,000 soldiers and travel on the Han River, which is magnificent. These ships are large and small, and the speed of driving on the surface is naturally fast or slow, but the entire fleet can always maintain a neat formation without a trace of panic. It is quite difficult to achieve this. It is enough to see that the sailors on the ship have very good skills in manipulating the ship.
The ship Liu Xin is on is naturally the flagship of the entire fleet, and it is also the largest ship in the fleet. With the addition of the two floors below the deck, it reaches five floors. In addition to using sails as power, this The building ship also creatively installed eight pairs of wheels in the lowest cabin, using pedals as power, which can be regarded as the earliest vehicle and ship.
Standing on the top deck, Zhu Rong, who had just recovered from the embarrassment of walking over the springboard, suddenly gave a "Huh".
