There are a few fishing fires on the river, accompanied by stars in the sky, adding to the loneliness in the dark night. The wind blows over, carrying the breath of the river.
Orihiko stood under the mast and looked at the moon in the sky. On nights when the moon is sparse, it will be particularly lonely. It seems that with the wind blowing, the ups and downs of the past few years suddenly came to my mind. My family has been in the northwest for hundreds of years, and has experienced glory and loneliness, but this is the first time like this.
Can we get through it safely? Orihiko doesn't know.
Suddenly, the person on the bow of the boat shouted: "Who is coming? The boat is moving so fast!"
After hearing this, Zheyanzhi hurried to the bow of the ship. I saw only a few small boats rushing towards my big ship like arrows off the side.
He hurriedly turned his head and shouted to the cabin: "Inspector Tan, something is unusual, come out quickly!"
Inspector Tan drank alcohol at night and was just about to fall asleep. Hearing the shouting, he came out reluctantly. He whispered: "Straight bitch, you're making such a fuss! It's hard to even sleep!"
He walked to the bow of the ship and stood next to Orihiko Shi. At the sight of the boat rushing in the river, Inspector Tan was frightened and woke up from the wine. He hurriedly directed his men to secure the bow of the ship. He shouted: "Listen to my order, the boat is approaching, shoot the arrow immediately!"
The guards sang loudly together.
"It's gone, it's gone!" Just when the boat was getting extremely nervous, the boat suddenly veered to one side and slid past the larger ship.
Inspector Tan let out a sigh of relief. He said angrily: "Who are these people? They dare to make fun of the official ship! Give Huangzhou a piece of official paper and take them away! If I don't let out this bad breath, I will be very angry! Straight mother-in-law, you have been safe all the way, how did you get here? How dare people act like this!"
Orihiko said: "Inspection, don't be careless, let's get through tonight safely first!"
Inspector Tan quickly said yes. He was just mumbling, and although others couldn't hear clearly, they all knew that what he said was not a good thing.
At this moment, the person at the stern of the boat suddenly said: "Oh no, those boats are back again!"
Inspector Tan heard this and hurriedly led people to the stern of the ship. I saw several small boats, like ghosts, coming quickly from behind. Inspector Tan gritted his teeth and once again ordered the soldiers to draw their bows and set arrows. As soon as the boat approached, they fired arrows immediately.
As a result, just like the last time, the small boat passed by the side of the big ship again and sailed into the vast night.
Twice in a row, even Orihiko could tell that something was wrong. He called Inspector Tan and said, "What should we do? These boats came in a strange way, not in a good way. Huangzhou is ahead of us. How about we dock and escape this night."
Inspector Tan said: "Our ship is big and there are many soldiers. As long as we guard it tightly, we are not afraid of ordinary thieves. But once it docks, it will be hard to tell."
Orihiko was so anxious that he jumped. Said: "But without docking, these ships are like ghosts, coming back and forth. When will it be over?"
Inspector Tan frowned and did not answer.
At this moment, I heard the people on the bow shouting: "Coming, coming, coming again!"
Zhe Yanzhi looked up and saw those small boats emerging from the black shadows, silently approaching his big ship.
Orihiko has been living in the north. Where has he seen such a scene? The river is completely silent in the dark night, which can easily make people nervous. Stomping his feet, he sternly said to Inspector Tan: "No matter what, let's dock first! Wait until daybreak and order Huangzhou to investigate this matter strictly! If we don't catch the person tonight, how can we make people feel at ease!"
Inspector Tan had no choice but to say yes. Order the boatman to sail to Huangzhou Wharf not far away.
Upstairs in Qixia, under the moonlight, Xu Wen watched several large ships on the river approaching the shore and couldn't help but laugh. He Ning said to He Ning beside him: "We sailed at night, but it's too late to dock now. This Zhe Ducheng grew up in the northwest and is not familiar with these water activities. At night, even if he reaches the dock, he has to wait until dawn We just docked, how can we dock at night? Is there anyone at the dock at this time?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but shake his head.
He Ning said: "Isn't it Zhongtong's plan to seize the capital and dock it?"
Xu Wen said with a smile: "Of course I figured it out, he must reach the shore. Before he could reach the shore, a few small boats scared them out of their wits!"
Congratulations
Ningdao: "The commander is the commander of the navy and army of the Song Dynasty, so naturally he cannot be succeeded by the commander-in-chief!"
Xu Wen smiled. Stand up, walk to the railing and look at the moon in the sky. Said: "Qixia Tower is the highest place in Red Cliff, with a sweeping view of the river. You and I are here to watch the battle tonight. Once we capture the cannon, we will return to Tuanfeng Town and go north!"
He Ning said yes. For Xu Wen, I can only admire him. If Xu Wen came up with a solution, he might not be able to come up with it himself. But the time is so tight and there are no mistakes, it is absolutely impossible for me to do it. In a few years, Xu Wen went from being a mediocre young general to becoming the commander of several naval forces in the Song Dynasty. It was indeed no fluke.
It wasn't Wan Yanchang who sent Xu Wen over this time. It was really not easy to seize the artillery by himself.
After reaching the shore, Zhe Yanzhi looked up and saw a hilltop standing there in the west of the city. In the dark night, like a monster. He was stunned for a moment and asked: "Is that mountain the Red Cliff? Su Zizhan was demoted to Huangzhou, and he wrote the two poems of "Red Cliff", and the song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" is here?"
The boatman on the side said: "The official said it is right, that is Red Cliff. I don't know so many articles, but Su Guan people have heard of it. The people in Huangzhou also thought that Su Guan people lived here. I feel very proud when I get up."
Orihiko nodded and couldn't help but take a second look.
Strictly speaking, Su Shi was not the old party, but he was certainly not the new party, and he was very critical of the new party. He was demoted many times, mostly related to the old and new party struggles. After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, there was a loud voice in the government and the public that the Jingkang crisis was caused by Wang Anshi's reform. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Gou himself thinks so. Therefore, it is the fundamental policy of the imperial court to denounce the new party and praise the old party of Yuanyou. Su Shi, who was dealt with by the New Party, became more famous than before.
Just after landing, Inspector Tan quickly caught up. He said to Zheyan: "Du Cheng, there is no one on the dock, and the goods on the ship cannot be moved. We can only keep more people on the ship. We are a big ship, and it is not easy to set sail. If someone comes to attack at this time, it will not be a trivial matter!"
Zheyan questioned: "We have already docked, so what are you afraid of? You order the people on the boat to be careful and send more people to the shore to check if there are any suspicious people. I will send people to ask Huangzhou to go out of the city to meet them tomorrow. See you again at dawn!"
Inspector Tan had no choice but to cross his hands and say yes.
Orihikozhi turned to look at Ojiang and let out a sigh of relief. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is a Jinshi and has both civil and military skills. As long as you get to the shore, what else do you have to be afraid of? If I had known that the water route was so scary, I might as well have taken the land route.
