Since getting on the ship, Zhu Rong has always been taken aback. Liu Xin is not surprised at her performance like this. Even he himself is surprised that Jiangling Shipyard can produce such a huge warship. I even want to pull this fleet to the sea to practice,
Seeing that Liu Xin didn't mean to ask anything, Zhu Rong had to say: "The boat swayed me dizzy the last time I crossed the Yangtze River. This time it doesn't seem to be a problem. Have I got used to the boat?"
Liu Xin stared at the front, and said without looking back: "The boat resists the wind and waves. You can't feel the swaying from side to side when you sit on such a boat. If you are above the sea, I am afraid that you will have to vomit your guts. Up,"
Zhu Rong stuck out his tongue behind him, made a grimace, did not speak, but did not agree in his heart. Where could there be such a terrible thing
The boat traveled very quickly, and soon turned from the Han River to the Yangtze River. The sky gradually darkened, but Liu Xin did not intend to stop the boat for a rest. In any case, he must rush to Wuling tonight. Now, in the four counties of Central South Most of the power was concentrated on the Zangke border. If Menghuo and the others were aware of the danger and withdrew, it would take double or even triple or quadruple the effort to deal with them. Liu Xin did not want to let this opportunity pass.
Strings of lanterns rise on the bow of the ship, against the sky full of stars, it is really beautiful, because without modern communication tools, the ships in the fleet command and communicate with each other, relying on flags during the day and lights at night.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Rong was silent for a while and became excited again. He approached Liu Xin and said, "Brother, according to the ancestors, everyone corresponds to a star in the sky. You say, which one is you? Which one is me,"
The evening breeze blew across the river, and the fragrant virgin fragrant like orchids and musk penetrated directly into Liu Xin's nose, making him feel uneasy. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to hold her in his arms, Liu Xin stretched out half of her hand, and suddenly stopped there abruptly, sighing secretly, Zhu Rong has the infatuation and tenderness of ancient women, and the pomp and generosity of modern women, and it will not be in vain to get her heart in this world. Sorry, but even if Ma Yun has no objection, the age gap seems to be a little bigger.
Without hearing Liu Xin's answer, Zhu Rong turned around, but saw that his face looked strange and couldn't help asking: "Brother, what's the matter with you,"
"En," Liu Xin withdrew his hand, and withdrew his thoughts, smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm thinking about how the war in Zhongnan should be carried out, you let me be quiet,"
Zhu Rong promised "Oh" and stepped aside obediently, but his gaze fell on Liu Xin as if he was held by a thread, as if he felt a little distressed for his daily hard work.
Because other ships mainly rely on sails as their power, it is obviously much more difficult to grasp the wind direction and the magnitude of the wind at night. In addition, the hydrological situation has to be considered, so the speed of the entire fleet has gradually slowed down. If it is only Liu If Xin was on the boat, he could completely lower the sails, relying solely on the pedal wheels to provide the power to move forward.
However, taking a boat also has the advantages of taking a boat. Except for the sailors on the boat, who still need to maintain twelve minutes of attention, everyone else can enter the cabin to rest, so as to maintain their energy.
The next morning, when the first rays of sunshine rose, the huge fleet finally arrived at the river bank in Wuling County. When Zhu Rong and his cousins walked out of the cabin nervously, they didn't see that they were a little embarrassed. Springboard,
Because there are often fleets traveling between the north and south of the Yangtze River, a deep-water port has been built on both banks of the Jiangling and Jiangxia sections of the Yangtze River. These deep-water ports are forbidden by the military. Special water-supply military ships are allowed to enter and exit. Other civilian ships are not allowed to enter Yes, and there are many large ships in the navy, so there are dedicated docks, and there is no need to use springboards.
When his feet finally stepped on the land by the river, Zhu Rong felt much more at ease. Looking back at the behemoth, he waved at it like a child.
Liu Xin also leaped onto the river bank, pointed to the camp in front of him, and said to Zhu Rong: "Miss wish, I have already prepared breakfast for me. Let’s go and eat a little bit before hurrying."
Zhu Rong touched his belly embarrassedly, blushing and said, "Well, I'm a little hungry."
It is not allowed to light fires casually on the warship, and Liu Xin did not want to break the rules. The dry food and river water he drank with the soldiers last night, and the dry food carried by the army can only ensure that the soldiers can eat and supplement the necessary nutrients. The conditions at that time did not take into account the taste and other aspects. Although the living conditions of the people of the barbarians were difficult, but in the family of patriarchs like Zhu Ding, although it cannot be said that the food is not tired, every meal is indispensable. The dry food last night I didn’t quite like Zhu Rong’s appetite, and it was inevitable that she ate a little less. Her appetite was quite large. After Liu Xin’s reminder, her stomach was groaning a bit.
When the boat was in the middle of the night, Liu Xin ordered one of the clippers to rush to the Jiangnan port and let the people on the shore prepare today’s breakfast. Liu Xin knew that there were no eyes on the battlefield, and there were 20,000 young men who followed him on the expedition. Many of them may never return to their hometown. Liu Xin is not a god and cannot guarantee everyone’s safety. But Liu Xin can try his best to let these soldiers eat better and rest better. After the shore, Liu Xin did not intend to let the soldiers continue to eat those boring dry food.
Zhu Rong looked at the large bowl of eggs, steamed buns, and soy milk in front of him. He raised his head and looked at Liu Xin affectionately. He thought these things were specially prepared by Liu Xin for her, but she didn’t know. Liu The food in Xin’s army camp has always been so good, and it’s not that she has been given special care.
As soon as I left the village, I saw a group of people standing there not far away, but it was the prefect of Wuling Jinxuan and a group of officials here to welcome Liu Xin’s ride.
The previous few times when Liu Xin went on the expedition, he kept his whereabouts extremely secret, and did not alarm the local government, but this time he deliberately ordered to let the wind go out. Jin Xuan, who received the news, did not dare to neglect, so naturally he waited early. Outside the camp, because the port is a military restricted zone, even if Jin Xuan is a prefect of a county, he cannot enter without a special token.
The reason why Liu Xin made the news was of course not to inform these county governors to greet him, but to tell Liu Dan and Meng Huo that I, Liu Xin, are here. The hatred of killing my father and taking away my wife is not shared. Liu Dan, Meng Huo, as the head of the Central-Southern Allied Forces, hated Liu Xin deeply. Even if they had the intention of retreating because of the defeat in the offensive, now they heard that Liu Xin was coming, they would not leave again.
In fact, Liu Yan can’t be regarded as Liu Xin’s murder, and Liu Xin didn’t intend to kill him either. He was mentally fragile and frightened to death. As for Meng Huo, Zhu Rong was not his wife at this time, and he couldn’t even talk about taking it. His wife did not take his wife, but Liu Dan and Meng Huo did not think so. They had long recognized that Liu Xin was their greatest enemy in this life.
Liu Xin turned on his horse, and the whip passed by Jin Xuan and the others. He clasped his fists and said loudly: "Mr. Jin, sirs, the military situation is urgent. Liu dare not delay. When Liu returns triumphantly, please Everyone drank the celebration wine together,"
Jin Xuan and others did not dare to stay, and said in unison: "Send the lord respectfully,"
By implementing the policy of "separation of powers," Liu Xin greatly weakened the real power of the prefects. However, with the rapid economic and social development, the prefects and county magistrates as local governors are more respected by the people, and Jin Xuan and others are also more and more respected. The more joyous the work, Liu Xin’s words are a golden mouth for Jin Xuan and others. Who would compete with him
Soldiers have led the fiery red horse long ago, and Zhu Rong, who was full of food and drink, leaped up and returned to the heroic appearance of the past. With a whip in his hand, there was a scream of "drive", like a fire chasing Liu Xin go with,
Although he grew up in Nanban, Zhu Rong's riding skills are extremely exquisite. After arriving in Xiangyang, Ma Yun asked her to change a saddle and equipped her with stirrups, which made Zhu Rong even more powerful, and he caught up with Liu Xin in a moment. ,
Liu Xin and 10,000 soldiers from the Fourth Legion walked in front. Wenpin followed with the temporarily recruited barbarian warriors. When he was on the ship, he didn’t feel the difference in military literacy between the two sides when they were on a long-distance march. It can be seen that the ranks of the Fourth Army are neat, and the soldiers just drove silently. Except for occasional orders from officers and uniform footsteps, almost no one can speak casually, and those barbarian warriors, although they are Everyone was born sturdy, but the queues were crooked, and people whispered from time to time during the march, and the buzzing sound rang into one.
As long as the people along the way see Liu Xin’s army, whether you are a regular army or a temporarily conscripted army, they all show the same enthusiasm. The scenes of stuffing a steamed bun and handing over a bowl of water can be seen everywhere. Zhu Rong seems to understand a little bit, why Liu Xin’s army can be invincible and invincible. Meng Huo wants to attack Zhang Ke, which is tantamount to idiotic dreams, but he did this to bring the entire barbarian into it. In a dangerous place,
Thinking of this, Zhu Rong couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at Liu Xin, and asked cautiously: "Brother, will you kill all of my people?"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Don't worry, my policy has always been to punish the first evil and not to offend the rest. As long as your barbarians are willing to abandon evil and do good, I will never blame it."
In fact, when he was in Xiangyang, Ma Yun had already expressed this attitude, but now he heard Liu Xin say it personally, Zhu Rong’s heart was really let go.
They all say that they are close to hometown, but as soon as they enter the Zangke realm, Zhu Rong, who relieves his burden, is obviously a little excited. After a while, he introduces the mountain to Liu Xin, and then points to the tree to Liu Xin. Suddenly Raising his wrist again, he threw out a flying knife and knocked a colorful golden pheasant off the branch.
Liu Xin couldn't help frowning and said, "Miss wish, what are you doing with it,"
Zhu Rong took the golden pheasant that hadn't died completely from Zhu Yan's hand, pulled out the flying knife, and wiped it on the brightly colored feathers of the golden pheasant, then inserted it back in again, and said triumphantly: "Brother, look at this. How fat a golden pheasant is, just add a meal at noon."
