Chapter Thirteen(2/2)

The boats form a group and slowly leave the dock after being filled with people.

Luo Yu was not averse to taking a boat. He had been on many boats and had experienced waves more than ten meters high. The waves on the Yellow River were like a child scratching his itch. However, for most Hanzhong people, there were still many people who did not like it.

After getting used to it, after sailing for two or three miles with half sail, someone was already seasick and vomiting. For a while, people were lying on the edge of the boat, and the sound of vomiting kept coming and going. After hearing it too much, Luo Yu felt a little disgusted.

I hurriedly entered the inner warehouse and closed the door before I felt better.

What did Yang Guang think? Most people in Guanzhong don't know how to swim. In order to rush for time, they ordered Guanzhong soldiers who had not been trained on water to go east by boat. Isn't this torture? But after thinking about it, I feel relieved.

It will only take five days at most if everything goes well from the water route to Kaifeng. If you go by land, it won't be possible without half a month. Although it is uncomfortable to take a boat, it won't be a problem once you get used to it. It can also reduce the fatigue during the march and gain ten more days.

, which is very important for counterinsurgency.

Luo Yu didn't worry about this anymore. The only thing he was worried about was Li Xiuning. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the pain of drifting with the waves. A hero on land may not be able to endure it on a drifting ship. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she would vomit.

It won't look good either.

The third room inside was Li Xiuning's room. Just when Luo Yu wanted to go over and take a look, the door of the next door opened. Li Xiaogong stood steadily at the door and saluted: "General, please join the army and come over!"

After returning the courtesy, Luo Yu followed Li Xiaogong to Li Xiuning's room. He saw that she was sitting in the middle and felt no discomfort, so he felt relieved. After seeing the courtesy, he said, "General, what are your orders for me to come here?"

Li Xiuning showed her face and said: "If you join the army, please take a seat. I was worried that if you join the army and don't know the nature of water, you will get dizzy and cause vomiting. Now it seems that I am worrying too much..."

Luo Yu said: "Thank you, General. I have been trained in water skills by my grandfather since I was a child. Although I cannot catch fish alive under the water, the wind and waves are not a problem." Giving credit to that great and non-existent grandfather is the best way to say it.

.

Li Xiuning said: "It's a long way to go, and there are many undercurrents and dangerous shoals on the way. I don't know if everyone will arrive safely. I feel a little uneasy. Can joining the army help me?"

Luo Yu said: "Since ancient times, wars have been dangerous and wars have been fierce. Even so, there are endless records of wars. There is a poem that says, 'The carriages are rolling, the horses are rustling, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists. Ye Niang and his wife are walking to see each other off, and the dust has disappeared from the Baliu Bridge.

Holding his clothes and stamping his feet, he blocked the road and cried, and the cry went up to the sky. "In war, people will die. If the weapons are updated and updated, the casualties will be even more severe. How can a white soldier in the next battlefield be able to defeat the general?" Plagiarized the poem of the poet sage.

Luo Yu was still a little embarrassed about this famous story through the ages, so he changed a few words to make it more relevant to the current scene.

After listening to Luo Yu's poem, Li Xiuning recited it silently in her mind. She felt that it could not be more appropriate to describe the scene when the troops were sent out. She did not expect to have a poetic talent in joining the army, which was a surprise. As for what Luo Yu said later, she did not listen.

Li Xiaogong said, "What does the so-called weapon update and iteration of joining the army mean?" These words brought Li Xiuning back to reality. She knew what Luo Yu meant, but she could not and would not take that thing out as a weapon now. The emperor was so happy for his success.

She is definitely not the one who offered black gunpowder. What’s more, her Li family also has her own plans. According to her father, the failure of the Eastern Expedition may cause chaos in the world. At that time, heroes will compete to win the world. Weapons, talents, and soldiers are all indispensable.

, whoever can master the new weapons will definitely be better.

Luo Yu said: "Li Juntou, there are always weapons better than swords and long bows. For example, isn't the Eight Ox Crossbow more powerful than an ordinary long crossbow?"

Just as Li Daozong was about to speak, the ship shook. The three of them hurriedly came out of the room. Under the bright sunshine, the endless sails were slowly lowering, and then they all anchored in the center of the river and stopped moving forward.

The three of them, Li Xiuning, didn't know what was going on. They were about to ask the sergeant beside them. Someone came outside to report that a small boat had been drawn from the east bank of the river. Without further questioning, the three of them went out and came to the east helm. They saw a man in brocade clothes.

The internal officer was holding a scroll that looked like an imperial edict and was coming quickly by boat. Li Xiuning said: "This is Eunuch Zhang, the emperor's personal servant..." Li Xiaogong hurriedly asked the sergeant to put down the hanging ladder, and then stood aside, waiting for the angel to board the boat.

Declare the decree.

It stands to reason that the expeditionary army will not accept new military services without new ones. The previous orders are not issued and the subsequent orders are not obeyed. This is common sense in leading troops. Otherwise, how can they serve the public? I don’t know what the emperor means now.

Perhaps Wang Bo's rebellion was put down and there was no need to go on an expedition.

The angel did not climb the county ladder, but jumped up from the boat. He was a master of lightness. After he stood still, he raised his voice and said: "Hussars General Li Xiuning takes the order!"

Everyone knelt down on one knee in a military salute, and the forty-year-old angel unfolded the imperial edict and said: "By Emperor Tiancheng Yun, the edict says, 'Today is a troubled autumn in the world. King Bo of Shandong has rebelled and caused disasters to several counties without being able to pacify them. Now Dou Jiande, Yuncheng, Shanxi, Hebei

Liu Heitai, who had gathered thousands of foreigners in Cangzhou, had different intentions. He pardoned General Li Xiuning and ordered him to disembark in Changle and go north to Yuncheng to put down the rebellion, in order to strengthen the power of our Sui army! I admire this..."

This imperial edict looks a bit like it was written in the tone of a child. I don’t know whose hand it was. However, since it has been stamped with the jade seal and Zhongshu, the seal under the door is probably not fake. Yang Guang was behind the fleet, and he sent his personal servant

It’s not surprising that he came to announce the decree.

After everyone accepted the order and thanked them, Li Xiuning took a few steps forward and asked softly: "Eunuch Zhang, Xiuning does not dare to doubt the Holy Will, but our army's armor and weapons are all in Kaifeng. If we go north to Changle, how will we solve it?..."

The Eunuch Zhang said solemnly: "General, there are turmoils in various places now. When we come, we have to report that Zhang Shicheng of Shaozhou Road in the south, Chen Youliang of Yangzhou Prefecture in the east, Xue Ju in the northwest, etc. have also raised troops. Your Majesty is dispatching troops to Ping An

"Rebellion, it's not because your situation has changed along the way. Don't worry, the Ministry of War has made arrangements, and someone will send it to you when you get to Changle..."

Li Xiuning sighed deeply in her heart, bowed her hands to Eunuch Zhang as a gift, and respectfully escorted him off the warship. She turned back to Li Xiaogong and said: "Please quickly invite all the military leaders to come to the commander's tent to discuss matters. If you join the army, please come in with me. The situation has changed now and we need to meet again."

Planning a strategy..."
