Chapter VI Ferry

This day is April 25th.

In the afternoon, the entire army had already marched thirty miles westward.

Liu Yu looked back and saw that the city when he set out had completely disappeared from his sight.

At this time, the horse exploration forward returned to Liu Yu. The nearest village was about twenty miles ahead. Liu Yu estimated that if he could reach the marching speed of another twenty miles, it would definitely be completely dark by the time he arrived.

The terrain here happened to be flat, and there was a small river close to the roadside. Then, Liu Yu ordered the entire army to camp on the spot.

At this time, Liu Yu led the army independently for the first time. He attached great importance to it himself, recalling the records of the Soldiers and the experiences of Liu Bogen and Wang Mi and others in his mind.

Liu Yu ordered the surroundings to cut down branches to make horses and fences, set up camp tents, make fires and bury stoves, and after an hour, a simple camp was finally completed.

All soldiers were separated from their respective camps according to the formation. Ordinary soldiers and auxiliary soldiers were not allowed to move around at will. Each team was arranged to take turns to watch the night. Each brigade commander led his personal soldiers to follow Liu Yu to take turns to patrol the entire camp.

At this time, most of the time of You had passed and it was completely dark. At this time, Liu Yu arranged for the patrol of the camp to announce a camp ban.

The personal soldiers who were patrolling the camp began to loudly declare the "Seven Orders of Camping" while knocking on the wooden clapper.

"If you camp at night, those who raise fire without authorization will be killed.

Those who speak loudly and disrespect the ban will be killed.

Those who leave the tent privately and wander around the camp will be killed.

If there is no commander of the escort, those who have entered another account without a commander will be killed.

Rumors and evil sayings, those who bewitch soldiers will be killed.

If the drum is raised, those who hesitate and refuse to respond will be killed.

Those who leave their posts without permission will be killed.”

After three times, the entire camp knew that the entire camp seemed very quiet under the dark night.

Although according to the investigation by the forward detective scout, there is no enemy nearby, Liu Yu felt that it would be better to treat every time as a practical battle.

Zhang Hu and Tan Xu also stayed in their tents. After hearing the three bans, Zhang Hu snorted coldly.

"Hmph, Liu Yu's desolate house is even bigger in the military camp than Duke Xi."

Tan Xu was a little afraid of Liu Yu, especially when this set of "seven kills" ban was issued.

"Liu Yu is brave and brave, and I am appreciated by the Lord of Xi. You and I should not mess with him. As long as you arrive in time and collect the ships on Weishui and the pontoon bridges on the Weishui River, you will complete the mission of the Lord of Xibu."

Nothing happened overnight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

April 26th.

The next morning, at the hour of Mao, it was already bright in April.

At this time, three low conch sounded, and the entire camp began to eat and pull out the camp.

After the camp was drawn, before the march, Liu Yu asked his personal army to announce a new "Seven Orders of March".

If you don’t call your name, if you don’t make it to the time of appointment, you will be killed.

Speak loudly, disturb the audience, and kill.

Those who do not respond to the dispatch and delay military orders will be executed.

Those who are good at traveling in the army will be killed.

Those who instruct and deceive their illnesses will be killed.

If you hear the drums and the gold will not stop, you will be killed.

Scouts fear the enemy, and those who lie about military affairs will be killed.

Immediately, Liu Yu asked each brigade coach to take the lead and lead their respective brigades to yell in unison one by one, one by one, seven orders.

At the beginning, every brigade was shouting sparsely during the three times.

Finally, Liu Yu let a very loud personal soldier shout loudly in front of the entire army.

"Sima Youling, the brigades, the two most neat and loud brigades, feeding meat! The two most sluggish brigades were picked by the entire army when feeding."

Liu Yu was quite familiar with these Western Jin farmers and refugees. Even if they could eat with their heads on their backs, they wouldn't starve to death. As for eating meat frequently, they wouldn't even think about it.

For a moment, in the new round of slogan chanting competition, Liu Yu saw that the soldiers, both the soldiers and the auxiliary soldiers were red and roaring with their respective brigade coaches.

In the victorious brigade, all the soldiers couldn't help cheering, and their faces were filled with the joy of being able to eat meat at night. However, some people were upset, some were envious, and some were dissatisfied.

Seeing such a result, Liu Yu couldn't help but think that he was really grateful for his military training in his previous life. The order of eating in those days could make the teenagers burst into a strong sense of victory and honor. The temptation of "eating meat" is now even more attractive to these poor people who have less than a few meals of meat in the year.

By the time of the evening, Liu Yu had led the entire army to continue westward for nearly forty miles, and had already seen the Jiaoshui River, which had soared due to the rainy season.

The marching queues and discipline along the way far exceeded Liu Yu's expectations, and made Liu Yu's original plan to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey" fail.

However, at this time, the order of the team had become scattered due to the fatigue of the whole day. Liu Yu immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing and send out two scouts to increase the scope of the nearby reconnaissance and prepare for camping.

The first team of horses investigated the surroundings to facilitate camping. The second team of horses continued to move forward to detect whether there were enemy troops near Jiaoshui River in front, searching for ferries or pontoon bridges, and searching for nearby ships.

After the first batch of horses returned, Liu Yu ordered camping on the spot. Because he had yesterday's experience, the speed and order of camping today have made great progress compared to yesterday's yesterday.

Just as the simple camp was completed and the smell of rice and meat in the camp was filled with the fragrance of the food and meat, the second explorer sent by Liu Yu happened to have just returned.

"Silang, the floating bridge on the Jiaoshui River has been burned down. It should have been done by the soldiers of the prefectures and counties who fled before." Dong Ping, who had just returned, said.

"Can you find a ferry nearby?" Liu Yu asked. If the previous pontoon bridge had been burned, then there must be enough ferries to rebuild the pontoon bridge.

"I haven't found a broken boat, and I have been searching for more than ten miles along the river, but we caught a hiding boatman and he said he knew where the ferry was nearby."

Dong Ping then called out a young man in a ragged short shirt from behind.

The young man was pushed to Liu Yu by Dong Ping's subordinates. The man looked at the fierce man wearing helmet and armor in front of him, and was more than eight feet tall, and remembered the miserable scene of being beaten and robbed by the riots and robbed by the gang of riots and soldiers passing by a few days ago.

The man was so scared that his legs became weak and he crawled to the ground, "God, please spare me, please spare me."

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. What is your name?" Liu Yu asked calmly.

"The villain is a villain named Chen Li."

"Oh, Brother Chen is the boatman here?" Liu Yu asked.

"Yes, the villain is the boatman at this ferry." Chen Li slowly let down a hung heart when he saw the leading official.

Suddenly, Liu Yu, who was originally kind-hearted, shouted.
