As the boat gradually moved out of Beishuimen, the sky became darker and darker. It was very quiet in the river, no one spoke, there was only the sound of boats paddling in the water. Most people were sitting or lying in the cabin, and some people gathered in twos and threes at the bow and stern of the ship. Lu Bo picked up his long jacket, sometimes sitting with this group, sometimes chatting with that group, very active; everyone on the boat was also in a happy mood, temporarily forgetting to go to the battle.
When the moon rose, suddenly fire flickered in the sky, and there was a faint sound of killing in the ears. Everyone stood up to watch. The fire and the sound of killing clearly came from the south of the stern of the ship. The fire was clearly visible even across Daliang City. Wei Daliang, Mr. Lu Bo and Mr. Hu Zhong exclaimed in unison: "Unsealing!"
Captain Daliang asked in surprise: "How come it's so fast? It only takes one day and one night to travel a hundred miles? You can't eat or sleep?"
Lu Bo corrected him: "Two days and one night."
Captain Daliang said: "We entered Nanguan yesterday."
Lu Bo corrected him again: "We entered Nanguan yesterday morning."
Captain Daliang sighed in despair: "I want to risk my life but I can't get it!" His hands trembled, as if he couldn't control himself.
Lu Bo gently held Lieutenant Liang's hand and whispered: "Mr. Liang, there is no need to be like this. Let's consider the long term."
Captain Daliang asked: "Where is the nearest inn?"
Lu Bo said: "We have left the city for about twenty miles, and we will arrive not far away."
Daliang Wei said: "Go to the nearby boat and land, and enter the post station to discuss."
Lu Bo said: "The inn is close to the pier and can be moored."
Captain Daliang said: "Go as soon as possible!"
Lu Bo glanced at Zhongtai, who came to the stern of the ship and informed him of the temporary berth. The boatman didn't say anything and silently increased his speed. Zhongtai said loudly to the grain-carrying ship behind him: "The station ahead is temporarily anchored." He received a response from the two ships.
The ten-mile waterway will arrive in an instant. The passenger ship is ahead, heading for the dock. The postman who came to inspect checked the festival talisman and found out that it was Captain Daliang. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. Immediately assist in mooring the boat, and then report to the postman. Lu Bo stopped him and said: "There is no need to alarm, just arrange a secluded courtyard nearby and no one is allowed to approach."
Lu Bo asked the boatman to stay on the boat and just said he would go and return. Daliang Wei and his group of twelve people abandoned the boat and landed ashore. Under the leadership of the postmen, they found a nearby courtyard, opened the door, and led everyone in. Then he muttered: "There is no oil in the post. Daliang Wei forgives me." Lu Bo said: "In the courtyard. The moon is shining brightly, so there is no need to raise the lamp. Let me ask you, how many carriages are there in the post?"
The postman said: "There are always two carriages and eight horses in the post."
Lu Bo asked again: "How many spears can there be in the post?"
The postman said: "A person has one hand and one long 㦸. There is nothing extra."
Lu Bo said: "There are police in Daliang, where will Beixiang go?"
The postman said: "We will only camp in the city along the river."
Captain Daliang said: "But there is no assembly?"
The postman said: "Beixiang has many territories and cities. Once there are police, they usually stay in the city. This has been the case for many years. But when something happens, we will help each other and never miss the point."
Daliang Wei said: "This is the custom here."
Lu Bo said: "In that case, please close the door and don't let anyone come near."
The postman saluted and went out, closing the door again. Lu Bo and the others came to the front steps of the hall, and others gathered around them. Daliang Wei said: "I originally wanted to lead the exhausted troops to steal the elite troops to fight with Qin. If I were lucky, the crisis in Daliang could be resolved. Now that the Qin people have reached Qinfeng, Daliang is in danger, and the opportunity to sneak out of Qin's army has been lost. I intend to return to Daliang and lead the army to fight against the Qin people. What do you think?"
Lu Bo said: "Daliang Lieutenant does not have to be like this. Although the Qin army has unsealed the seal, Daliang City is well-supplied and cannot be attacked overnight. Once Daliang Lieutenant has the army in hand, there is no need to worry about having no fighting opportunities. Kuang Xinling Lord's power is in danger, Daliang Lieutenant Don't give up easily. I hope Daliang Wei still follows the original plan and leads all the young masters directly to the formation. It will be a great blessing!"
Captain Daliang saw Mr. Hu Zhong standing at the foot of the stairs and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Hu Zhong?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "I have been ordered by my master to help the eldest son go to Chenliu to collect food. Although there is a mistake in unsealing the seal, the matter of collecting food is more urgent. Xiangbi asked Captain Daliang to help me take a light chariot. If you rush to Chenliu in a hurry, you may be taken advantage of by the Qin people if you are late."
Lieutenant Daliang was a little angry and said: "I see, how dare you, Master Mangshen, also follow his brother to collect food?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Mr. Mangshen was ordered by his father to help Daliang Wei, and the eldest son was ordered by his father to collect food from Chenliu, but he was ordered by the head of the family to help the eldest son. Daliang Wei was also ordered by the king to go to the front of the army. We all followed his orders. , is not appropriate!”
Daliang Wei said: "When I was ordered, I thought that the Qin army was still at Nanguan, so I could sneak behind them. Now that the Qin army has arrived in Qifeng, and Daliang is in danger, how can we sneak behind?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Is there any order from the king to summon Daliang Lieutenant?"
Lieutenant Daliang said: "The king may not have heard of the official sealing of the police, so how can he call for it?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "But it's like this! According to the law, 'When you go out, you will return with the north.' Now Daliang Lieutenant has led the king's order to go out to the battle, thirty miles away from the country, and returned to the country without the king's order. Even if he surrenders, he may not be able to respond. By everyone’s lips.”
Lu Bo said: "What Mr. Hu Zhong said is true. I hope Daliang Lieutenant will listen to it. After Daliang Lieutenant goes to the army, he can urgently inform the young master that Daliang is in danger. According to what I know, the young master's subordinates who know the soldiers are all in the formation, and they must have a clever plan." A wonderful strategy to save people from danger. The army is in control, so what’s the disadvantage? I hope Lieutenant Daliang will not doubt it!"
Captain Daliang pondered for a moment and said: "This is so, but there is nothing I can do. I hope you will teach me."
Lu Bo said: "Although the encounter with the police after unsealing will add variables, it does not affect the overall situation. I am biased and ignorant, but I will follow the plan and go straight to Xingyang, and then march south with a heavy car. There will be no mistakes."
Lieutenant Daliang said to everyone: "The fall of Qifeng has made me feel confused. What do you think of Lu Bo's words?"
This group of young men all came out for training. They didn't know anything about military affairs on weekdays, so there was silence in front of the steps. Finally, Mang Shen, prompted by Mr. Hu Zhong, said: "We are ordered to follow Captain Daliang, and everything will be decided based on Captain Daliang's words." Although Suban did not know about soldiers, he knew the opportunity and immediately responded. "What Mr. Mang said is true. I will follow Captain Daliang in his carriage, and I will have no second thoughts." Two people spoke up, and the others seemed to have an idea, and they all agreed, saying that they were willing to follow Captain Daliang.
Daliang Wei said: "If things are going well, I will consult the three elders. Now all the gentlemen are of the same age, but Mr. Er Lu and Mr. Hu Zhong are the oldest. Please invite the third gentleman to have a showdown with us." After saying this, he bowed deeply.
The three of them had no choice but to reciprocate the courtesy and look at each other. It was Lu Zhong who said, "Uncle Lu and Mr. Hu Zhong both have clear intentions. The matter is urgent and confusing. You cannot try another way, but you can just stick to the previous plan."
Daliang Wei said: "Since the three elders have the same idea, I will follow them."
Mr. Hu Zhong secretly gave Mang Yin a push, and Mang Yin stepped forward and said, "This is the only thing that matters about my house. I can't agree with you. I would like to say goodbye to Daliang Wei from now on. If Daliang Wei gives me a car and a ride, I'll be very lucky!"
Captain Daliang said: "Uncle Lu, do you have any ideas to help Mang's family?"
Lu Bo said: "There are chariots in the post, but we can conquer them, so why bother asking."
Daliang Wei said: "In that case, we will say goodbye now and hope to see each other in the future."
Mang Yin said: "Daliang Wei has been a general for generations, and there is Lu and all the young masters accompanying him. What can't be accomplished?"
Lu Bo said, "The time has passed. There can be no further delay. Let's board the boat as soon as possible and set off." After saying this, he went out and called the postman. After saying that everything was settled, he boarded the boat and set off. Everyone got on the boat together, but Mr. Mangyin and Hu Zhong stayed on the shore and said goodbye to everyone. Although the postman did not pay attention to etiquette, he knew that this was the etiquette of a scholar. Although he thought it was strange that the two people did not get on the boat, seeing them greeting each other with courtesy, he thought that there must be some arrangement, so he did not stop. Ask more.
After the ship set sail and left, the two turned back to the inn. The postman stopped in front and said, "What are your orders, noble sir?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "This is the eldest son of the Mang family. There is a festival talisman here. It is for public use at the Zhengyi Station!"
The postman said: "Now that the festival talisman has been requisitioned, I will call the postman to come and receive the order!"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Master, let's check the festival talisman."
Mang Yin then took off a brocade bag from his waist, took out a talisman, and handed it to the postman, who took it with both hands. Unexpectedly, Mr. Hu Zhong on the side moved his palm like the wind and hit the postman on the back of the head. The postman fell to the ground before he could even be surprised.
