After the Han army crossed the river, Yang Qing ordered a rest on the spot. The army fought for a while and ran around in the middle of the night, and was already exhausted and had to rush back to Anling tomorrow, so the physical strength of the horse must be restored.

"Empress, should you hide these ships again?" Wu Que lifted the tent cloth and walked in and asked Yang Qing who had not yet rested.

Yang Qing thought for a moment and replied, "No need to hide anymore. Tomorrow, you will take your people to go down the river with these ships. Let's give the Wei army a waterway."

"Take these ships south? Envoy, why is this? These ships cannot carry many people!" Wu Que said inexplicably.

Yang Qing explained: "This batch of ships was not used to transport troops, but to prepare for the subsequent war. When our army attacked the Wei army in the half-ferry, we would take advantage of the situation to release the fire ships from the upstream, and we would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Mire, I'm very good at this plan, Que understands it." Wu Que said in admiration.

Yang Qing smiled slightly and said, "Go and arrange it quickly. After the arrangement is completed, I will set off soon. I will leave tomorrow morning."

"Yes, I'm leaving."

After Wu Que left, Yang Qing continued to lie on the desk and watched the map. He passed the whole plan in his mind. He felt that there was no loophole anymore, so he immediately blew out the oil lamp and lay on the couch.

Three hours later, just dawn, the Han army set off south under Yang Qing's leadership. There were more than 100 miles to Anling, and the army had to arrive in the north of Anling before this evening to block the Wei army on the west bank of the Jingshui River.

Fortunately, the troops either rode horses or took a boat, which was easier than walking. The Han army rushed south, of course, and could not move as quietly as before. However, even though the Wei army discovered it along the way, they did not dare to go forward to stop the three thousand Han cavalry, so they had to watch them pass out of the city.

He wanted to report the news to Cao Zhen and others in the south, but his way was blocked by the Han army. He had no choice but to give up and concentrate on guarding his city.

But Bian Bao, Deng En and his two men led their troops to leave Chiyang overnight and headed towards the east bank of Jingshui. By dawn, they were less than thirty miles away from Jingshui. The troops were already exhausted and complained.

"General Bian, if you are trapped and have no horses, it's better to stop and rest." Dunn suggested.

Bian Bao nodded: "Well, it's time to rest for a while. He ordered the troops to camp on the spot, build pots and cook rice, and sleep for half a day."

"promise."

A lieutenant held his fist and went to pass the orders. Bian Bao turned over and got off the horse, handed the reins to the guards beside him, walked to a big tree by the side of the road, sat on the stone under the tree, and took the water tube while saying to Deng En, "Brother Deng, come here, sit down and rest."

Deng En walked over and sat down and said, "Brother Bian, should you send someone to the Jingshui River shore first to search for ships?"

The floating bridge built by Cao Zhen crossed the river a few days ago was set on fire by Deng En. At that time, he was alone in the east and fell into Yang Qing's ambush, but the Han army killed and fled. Later, because he was afraid that Yang Qing would take the opportunity to lead his army back to the west bank of the Jingshui River, he simply burned the floating bridge to avoid the Han army from using the floating bridge they had finally built to cross the river.

"Well, this should be the case. The ships around here are probably plundered by the Shu army and our army. We have to go away early to find the ship." Bian Bao nodded and replied after taking a big mouthful of water.

Dunn stood up and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

In Chiyang City, after listening to the reward of exploring the horse, Zhang Yi immediately ordered the troops to gather and set off to chase Bian Bao and the others.

Chiyang City is almost seventy or eighty miles away from the east bank of the Jingshui River. It takes almost a day for infantry to quickly rush to go there. It is the most appropriate to set off at this time. It can not only avoid the scouts scattered by the Wei army behind, but also launch an attack on the Wei army from behind just the agreed time.

At noon, the Wei army had enough food and drink and recovered. The soldiers who were just going to look for the boat also reported that they had found enough ships to build a floating bridge. So Bian Bao and Deng En immediately led more than 6,000 Wei cavalry to the east bank of the Jingshui River.

About an hour, Bian Bao and others arrived at the east bank of the Jing River. With an order, hundreds of Wei soldiers began to build a floating bridge. Nearly an hour later, the floating bridge was set up. The captain who commanded the bridge came over to ask Bian Bao if he could cross the river.

Bian Bao looked up at the sky, and saw that although the sun was already west, there was still a lot of time left. So he nodded and said, "I ordered all the troops to prepare to cross the river. When we reach the west bank, we will wait..."

He wanted to say that he would wait until he arrived on the west bank and camped again, but suddenly he heard an urgent sound from behind. He immediately kept silent, turned around and asked anxiously to the siege in front of him, "What happened?"

The provocateur turned over and dismounted, bowed and replied, "Report to General, the Shu army in Chiyang City has left the city and is now more than twenty miles away from our army."

"These Shu thieves actually came out?" Bian Bao was a little surprised after hearing this.

Dunn, who was standing beside him, said: "They may be trying to stop our army from crossing the river to see if they can catch up with the attack on our army at half-cross."

"Well, that should be."

Dunn said: "Do you want to send troops behind and stop them?"

"No, it takes at least an hour for them to arrive until they are more than twenty miles away. By then our army had already passed by the other side." Bian Bao pointed to the west bank and said with a smile.

Deng En thought to himself that he would definitely be able to pass the river within an hour, so there was no need to worry about the Han army catching up and stopping it, so he said, "It's not too late, I'll cross the river quickly." As soon as he finished speaking, another explorer came over.

"Report that General Yan has repelled the Shu cavalry, and now Zhengbi is coming to our army with both directions."

Bian Baoxi said happily: "Okay, it seems that the Shu thieves behind him are going to trouble General Yan and the others to clean up again." After pausing, he asked the Explosive Horse again: "Where is the Shu cavalry now?"

"He has fled to the north and is unknown where to go. General Yan speculated that he might have fled to Anding."

Bian Bao said, "Yeah, I understand." He waved his hand and asked the siege to retreat.

"It seems that Yang Qing saw that the situation was not good, so he abandoned Chi Yang's infantry and fled back to Anding himself." Deng En said.

Bian Bao said: "It is very likely that the infantry who stayed in Chiyang were recruited by him in Anling and other places, so he would not feel sorry for abandoning him."

"This thief is extremely cunning and is really hard to deal with."

Bian Bao said: "When you defeat Zhuge Liang, you will have the opportunity to deal with this thief again in the future. Let's cross the river."

A group of Wei troops began to cross the river. Bian Bao and Deng En were the first to cross the west bank. They stationed on the shore of horses and urged the soldiers to speed up the crossing of the river. After half an hour, half of the more than 6,000 Wei troops arrived at the west bank.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Bian Bao immediately ordered the soldiers on the west bank to set up camp so that everyone had not settled down to have dinner at night.

"Brother Bian, please rest aside. I'll stare here."

Bian Bao was indeed a little tired. He patted Dunn's shoulder, smiling and said, "Then I'll have a hard time. I'll invite you to drink for you in the evening." Thinking of returning to Anling tomorrow morning, he suddenly felt relaxed.

"That's good. You and my brothers are going to drink some of them tonight." Dunn is also a good wine. He was a strict guardian for the past few days of marching and fighting. Before he could get drunk, he heard the word "wine" and the greedy worm in his stomach was immediately hooked out.

Bian Bao said, "Haha, I don't dare to drink hard. After all, we are still in the marching. After defeating Zhuge Liang, I will have a good drink with my brother. I will have a few jars of good wine for my brother, so I will take it at that time..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

At this moment, a loud horn sound suddenly came from behind. Bian Bao was surprised and looked back, but saw a large number of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the woods in the distance. When they looked at the colors of the clothes, they were the Han army.
