Qiu Ying was stunned at first, then turned pale with fright, and shouted angrily: "How dare you?!"
Even though he has not been in Guanzhong for many years, as a descendant of the Qiu family, news about Guanzhong has never been lost. In recent years, Fang Jun's sudden rise has been shining brightly, and his various deeds have spread all over the world. Therefore, as soon as Fang Jun mentioned this topic, Qiu Yingqi instantly remembered the original scene——
As the legitimate son of the Dou family, Dou Dewei confronted Fang Jun on the Tongguan waterway, and then the other party directly crashed the boat...
At that time, the Dou family as a descendant of the family was not only disgraced, but also the outside world finally realized clearly that this old Guanlong noble family was no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and its strength was greatly reduced. It was in his eyes, and he fought overtly and covertly, causing the Dou family to suffer heavy losses. In one fell swoop, he fell from the altar that he had held for many years and became a second-rate family member.
From then on, Fang Jun went south and was surrounded by Shanyue mobs. Hundreds of soldiers defeated tens of thousands of mobs, killing Niuzhuji until the rivers were stained with blood and corpses were everywhere, and he became famous.
Even the descendants of His Majesty's mother's clan have attacked him, so how could Fang Jun care about a mere descendant of the Qiu family?
But before he finished speaking, he saw Fang Jun raising his hand and waving gently.
The soldiers on the warship immediately started running. Some ran to the mast and pulled the cable to raise the sail. The river wind rushed along the river and soon filled the sail. Some ran to the side of the ship to move the winch, and the thick The chain was quickly lifted from the river water, pulling the heavy anchor out of the mud and sand at the bottom of the river.
The swollen sails carried huge power. As soon as the anchor was lifted from the mud on the river bottom, the warship was like a beast that opened the lock. The huge hull was full of power and started slowly.
The armored bow looked like the fangs of a wild beast, pointing straight at the official ship under Qiu Yingqi's seat.
The soldiers and officials on the official ship were in an uproar, and Qiu Yingqi was even more stunned. The opponent is riding the latest warship used by the navy for inland warfare. It has a pointed bottom and a pointed bow, which is not only fast and stable, but also has sharp rams with iron armor. As long as the speed is slightly increased, the officer on whom he is riding can easily be killed. The ship was smashed and torn apart.
Of course, even if the boat falls into the water, he will not be drowned. Qiu Yingqi is still quite confident in his water skills, but such an embarrassing end will definitely make him lose face. From now on, how can he serve as a guard at Tongguan? A superior leader with soldiers under his command?
The most important prestige in the military. Once this prestige is lost, it will be extremely difficult to pick it up again...
Thinking of the serious consequences if the warship was smashed, Qiu Yingqi could no longer be reserved, his face changed drastically, and he shouted sternly: "Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder quickly!"
The official ship had no sails, and the power to move forward relied entirely on the more than ten oars stretched out from the side of the ship to both sides. The oarsmen in the cabin received the order and hurriedly rowed as hard as they could, while the helmsman at the stern worked hard to control the rudder. The official ship turned its bow bit by bit to avoid the channel of the opposite warship.
Fortunately, even if the warship was full of sails, it was extremely slow when it first started to speed up. Although the official ship used manual rowing, it was better at maneuvering and picking up speed quickly. Moreover, the ship was small and easy to turn around, and it was on the river in a short time. Draw an arc trajectory to avoid the oncoming warship.
Even so, the stern of the ship was scratched by the speeding warship.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, wood chips flew from the stern of the official ship, and half of the rudder was smashed into pieces. The official ship lost the ability to turn its direction, and watched helplessly as the fleet of warships galloped past itself, causing water waves that made the entire ship The official ship was spinning on the water, unable to stop, let alone move forward.
The warship fleet, after ramming the official ship, withstood the awed looks of countless merchant ships on the waterway and walked away.
Qiu Yingqi climbed up from the deck, yelling angrily, stamping his feet and cursing, but there was nothing he could do.
Catch up?
That's definitely not possible. Fang Jun dared to crash his boat in front of everyone. If he caught up with him in a deserted place, he would have dared to kill him and throw him into the Yellow River to feed the bastard...
*****
The fleet broke through the checkpoints set by the Tongguan defenders on the Weishui River at lightning speed, moved forward unimpeded and quickly, and soon entered the Yellow River waterway.
In the helm building, Fang Jun was pointing to the scenery on both sides of the Yellow River and introducing it to Princess Jinyang: "Has Your Highness seen Guancheng on the south bank of the river? That is Tongguan."
The continuous Guancheng stands between the mountains, majestic and indestructible.
A road stretches from east to west along the bank of the Yellow River and at the foot of Tongguan. As the saying goes, "peaks and mountains are like gatherings, waves are like raging, the mountains and rivers are outside and inside the Tongguan Road"...
Seeing Princess Jinyang's high interest, Fang Jun pointed to the north bank of the river and said, "Your Highness, can you see a ferry there? That is the famous Fengling Ferry."
His tone was sad and his eyes were blurry.
For future generations, perhaps Fenglingdu is far more famous than Tongguan among more people, because this ancient ferry is involved in a fairy tale that seems to be both beautiful and cruel.
"When I walked through the mountains, the mountains did not speak; when I passed by the sea, the sea did not speak; the little donkey ticked, and the Heavenly Sword accompanied me to the end of the world. Everyone said that I was born on Mount Emei because I loved the hero Yang Guo. Home, actually I just fell in love with the clouds and clouds on Mount Emei, which are like the fireworks when I was sixteen..."
Fang Jun's thoughts fell into the remaining memories and he murmured in a low voice.
We met for the first time at Fengling Ferry, and when I saw Yang Guo, I lost my life...How much do I still remember about my past life?
I'm afraid that in this glorious Tang Dynasty, it won't be long before all the memories of the past will slowly dissipate in the years.
At that time, was I Fang Jun or Fang Yiai?
…
Princess Jinyang was close, but she didn't hear clearly. The little princess frowned slightly, staring at Fang Jun with her bright eyes, and asked curiously: "Did my brother-in-law recite Ci or Fu? The dialogue seems not very neat, Yitian What kind of sword is it, and who is the hero Yang Guo?"
Hearing the words "Ci Fu", the other three princesses, Li Tai and Du He all followed the words. Li Tai was even more excited and said: "Erlang has another masterpiece coming out?"
Du Hexin said that writing lyrics and poetry would be such a thing, how could he just open his mouth and do it? Even if you have some inspiration, you still have to think carefully.
However, he had just witnessed Fang Jun's domineering power. He even rushed past the waterway checkpoint set up by the imperial court without hesitation. Even he dared to smash the boat of the Tongguan guard. No matter how much he felt in his heart, he was so convinced that he did not dare to say anything. What contemptuous words.
Fang Jun came back to his senses and concealed it with a smile: "It's not a poem or song, but a script I conceived a few days ago. When I saw the Fengling Ferry, I was touched and got some inspiration. I will write it later. Come out and give your Highness a look."
Princess Jinyang immediately said: "I want to see it too!"
Fang Jun said with a smile: "Your Highness has a decree, how dare I disrespect you? Don't worry, once the words are written down, I will be the first to ask Your Highness to read them, and sincerely invite Your Highness to correct them."
Princess Jinyang smiled.
Even the smart little girl cares about this "priority" very much. It seems that having this kind of power proves that she is superior to others in the eyes of others, and she is very proud of it.
Li Tai was a little disappointed. He was the best at reading, and he was also very fascinated by poetry and songs. He had always admired Fang Jun's talent, but when he heard that it was just a storybook, he immediately became interested.
How can such gadgets that are circulated among the people be able to reach the level of elegance?
On the contrary, the princesses' eyes sparkled and they were very concerned. For women, although there are those who yearn for literature like Princess Changle, but more of them prefer the words of the talented and beautiful women in the city. They are naturally arrogant and expensive, so they naturally yearn for that kind of literature. An unfettered life.
The more various constraints there are in reality, the more subconsciously one wants to break away from this fate, abandoning what one has, but pursuing what one does not have...
When arriving at Hangu Pass, the boat docked for a while. Since there were several princesses on the boat traveling to the south of the Yangtze River, it was natural to stop for a while and appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way.
Fang Jun stood on the deck, pointed at the undulating mountains on the south bank of the Yellow River, and said: "The first capital of the Han family was in the river of Wei, Qishuo in Qin Dynasty, which was actually Xianyang. Fortress... The so-called "Liuhan heavy danger" in Zhang Heng's "Xijing Fu" of the Eastern Han Dynasty refers to the Weishan Mountain in front of us. There is a river in the mountain called Hangu, which can be blocked by one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand people. In ancient times, the waves of the Yellow River were strong, and boats and ships could not open it. Access was inconvenient, and the march could only take land routes. The entire area from Hangu to Tongguan passed through valleys and rivers, making it extremely difficult to travel. Hangu Pass borders the plateau to the west, Juejian to the east, Qinling Mountains to the south, and the Yellow River to the north. It is the only passage between east and west, so if you want to conquer Guanzhong, you must first occupy Hangu Pass, which is a battleground for military strategists."
The princesses looked at the high mountains and the surging Yellow River in the distance, and their ears seemed to be filled with the battles and battles of ancient times. Naturally, what they read in books could not be witnessed and felt in person, and their hearts were swaying for a while. , a sudden burst of pride.
