Qin He, who was still a "scholar" when he was delivering golden cakes in Chang'an, has now been promoted to "Dang Bai". More than a hundred people were assigned to him. After experiencing Wang Mang and fighting against Lin Jin, they were all "veterans" who had seen blood. However, when facing the shaking ships, their bodies still trembled like new recruits.

"What are you afraid of? Go up!"

Qin He actually couldn't step on the boat, but he had to adapt with the people below. There was no big river near his hometown, and some people couldn't even paddle their dogs. They could swim a few steps away. They were considered heroes in the water. As for taking a boat, they were even more unfamiliar. Before they were forced to enlist in the army, their lives were limited to a radius of more than ten miles, and they had no use for boats.

In order to adapt to this crossing battle, the Fifth Rent specifically asked the entire army to organize soldiers to train on the Yellow River and on the Jing River, and take turns to board the boat to adapt. You can't swim, but you have to row the boat. So in the past few days, you only saw groups of soldiers wearing short-drawn battles, gathering at the waterside, with determination on their faces.

Some pouncer and pouncer and pouncer and practiced water. A soldier was dizzy when he saw the vast flowing water and was reluctant to get into the water. Qin He pushed it down with a sudden palm. He struggled for a while and was full of water.

However, my body has been dirty and cleaner. The better thing in the north than in the south is that you don’t have to worry about too many strange parasites in the water.

The boaters often make jokes. A good small boat could even roam in the heart of the river. In desperation, they almost overturned. The boatman was so angry that they cursed, while the soldiers on the shore laughed.

Seeing this scene from afar, Dou Rong, who accompanied the Fifth Reunion to inspect the three armies, only joked: "I have heard a story. When the Han Dynasty Prime Minister Chen Ping rebelled against Chu and surrendered to Han, he passed by the river. When the boatman saw that he was handsome and dressed in extraordinary ways, he became evil, so Chen Ping took off his clothes on the spot... "

"Chen Ping took off his clothes?" Wu Lun's ears stood up. Could it be...

Dou Rong smiled and said, "Yes, Chen Ping is braced for the boatman with his bare shirt. It seems that an extraordinary person is indeed very talented. People in the world only know that Chen Ping is full of wisdom, but they don't know that he can even row."

So that's it. The fifth Lun looked at Dou Rong: "Duke Zhou thought, will this battle go smoothly?"

Dou Rong is now living under someone else's roof, of course he is saying good things, but his flattery is much more advanced than Shi Chen. He smiled and said, "When Emperor Gao of Han wanted to attack Wei Bao, he asked Li Shiqi who was on the mission to the Western Wei Dynasty, and asked him, who was the Western Wei general? Who was the cavalry general? Who was the Bu Jiang?"

"After Li Shiqi answered, Liu Bang laughed and said that his general was not as good as Han Xin, his cavalry general was not as good as Guan Ying, and his general was not as good as Cao Shen, and he would win this battle."

"But in my opinion, the most important thing is that Wei Bao is far inferior to Emperor Gao."

Dou Rong's voice changed: "It's the same now. Although Wang Xun's soldiers are numerous, their generals, cavalry and generals are all generals, far inferior to Wan Huo, Geng Yan, and the Seventh Biao. With the remnants of Wang Xun's new house, everyone wants to attack him, but they have few supporters; and the king is kind and righteous, and has many supporters, and he will win this battle!"

This is to compare the fifth reunion to Henkel. The fifth reunion pointed at him and smiled, but watching the soldiers practice water-based rowing, it was really a matter of the heart of the soldiers.

Dou Rong said again: "If Wang Xun dispersed his troops to defend each ferry, then with the spirit of our soldiers, they would defeat each one, and they would be afraid that he would gather the army and wait until our troops landed on the shore separately, stare at a fierce attack!"

This is indeed a point worth worrying, but Di Wulun shook his head and said, "Listen to the people who came to report the news from the river, Wang Xun was greedy when he entered Hedong at the beginning of last month and wanted to occupy Taiyuan, so he divided more than 10,000 people to go north. Because Ma Wenyuan attacked Erkou Pass and sent another 10,000 to resist, Geng Chun instigated Shangdang to attack the new party and forced Wang Xun to draw 5,000 people."

In this way, he was left by the river with only more than 40,000 left, and he had to occupy various counties to search for grain and suppress the rebels. Therefore, Wang Xun's army was difficult to take back after it was dispersed. He was at most tens of thousands of mobile troops hovering near the river.

"Wang Xun can only rely on his hopes to catch the main force of our army crossing the river and rush to capture the river before landing, but he didn't know that our army would cross the river more and bloom more and see where he would guard when he arrived!"

Wu Lun instructed the Langguan beside him: "It's time to cross the river, let Ren Guang get some meat and ask the soldiers to have a good meal."

...

On July 19th, Qin He and his team did not train rowing and swimming, but started to eat in advance. The evening meal was particularly rich on that day. More than a hundred people divided it into ten pieces. Each piece brought back a large pot of broth, a pot of sunflower and tofu, and a pot of two Yellow River croakers in a pot. There were even two pots of wine that were even rarer in troubled times!

This thing doesn't feel like it, but it's strong enough. After a few sips of wine, my face will get a fever and my emotions will rise. The soldiers talk more and after practicing for so long, they know that they are going to cross the river to fight, so they ask Qin He one after another.

"Qin Dangbai, I heard that you followed the king's old subordinate in the new Qin Dynasty!"

Qin He also blushed. This is the resume that these people are proud of. Now that the King of Wei ascended the throne, he is proud. But the next question of the soldiers embarrassed him: "I heard that the king once crossed the Yellow River to attack the Huns, and then he would be there?"

"He's, of course." Qin He's tongue was tied. He was staying in the military camp at that time. When it comes to this matter, he can only hear the robes with the Hu people's head tied to their waists come back and brag about it, saying that they killed the Huns in the ditch and turned over!

He was embarrassed to tell the truth, so he could only tell some of his experiences and experiences in ambiguous manner. He could explain clearly what happened when he flew from the east bank to Puzhang more than two months ago. However, he was walking on a floating bridge at that time, and it was not comparable to his boating...

Fortunately, the soldiers wanted to listen to the fun, and some even asked, "Can you get the land after going to Hedong?"

After fighting for two months, I have also seen the prosperity of Chang'an. Some people are already tired. When the reward promised by the fifth reunion when they first started the army, they have been fulfilled by handing out golden cakes and silk. On the same day, they also said that when will the statement of giving them a piece of land and a family be implemented?

Someone who understands it shook his head: "I heard that Hedong people are even more crowded than Guanzhong, so it may be difficult."

"Anyway, there are always places." Qin He said confidently: "We have followed the king to so many counties, and there are always places, land and few people."

Everyone nodded to each other. A large part of them were refugees. Anyway, they were very far away from their hometown. Just have a place to stay in the future. The best climate and terrain are similar to those of our hometown. Otherwise, if we were used to planting on the plains, we wouldn't be able to plant them in the mountains... After saying this, we thought about our hometown again. It would be great if we could share it back in the future.

I had a lot of thoughts all night. The next day, Qin He called out as soon as the rooster crowed, and set off to the east. During his stay in Chang'an, because there was no war, the fifth reunion asked them to practice the queue as soon as they arrived in Weibei. When they arrived in Weibei, they practiced the golden drums. The time was too tight, so they could only practice the weapons in actual combat...

The training was indeed effective. The road was no longer as scattered as it was before, and it was able to walk in a certain way. The teams they encountered were more and more, including brothers and surrendered soldiers who were pushing carts to transport food and other goods. Most of them were captured by the war of Jin, and they said they would do a coolie until after the autumn.

The road was filled with the road for a moment, and there was uncollected millet in the fields and they were not allowed to step on them. They could only crowd and move forward slowly.

When they arrived at the Yellow River surrounded by people in the evening, they were assigned a temporary garrison. Qin He and others were summoned by the lieutenant to allocate the ships to take tomorrow.

"My fortune is good!"

Qin He was full of joy when he came back. His robes were dejected but dejected. It turned out that because there were not enough ships, except for the attacking striker, whether the other units were on a boat or a simple sheepskin raft, Mu Ying was decided by drawing lots.

Qin He drew the boat, and the soldiers were very happy. The food today was also very good. They all remember that Hongmen raised an army, crossing the Ba and Linjin battles were all the same routines. They were quite excited when they could eat meat during big battles, and were also afraid. The main reason was that they could not practice rowing well, rather than the enemy on the other side.

Because the wind direction on the 20th day was unfavorable, the offensive plan was delayed until twenty-one. The west wind rose this morning. As Wan Xiu issued an order, it passed down one after another, and the soldiers gathered one after another.

The bedding and other items were sorted out but not brought. They made marks and handed over to the baggage troops, and even did not wear armor. They only brought weapons and gathered according to the location assigned in the past two days. The order was still very chaotic, crowded, and stopped and stopped. Some people were anxious and eager to cross the river to fight as soon as possible, and more people were eager to line up back.

When it was Qin He and the others' turn, they were not in line or behind. It was dawn, but they saw that the vanguard troops had crossed the river. This section of the river was filled with boats entering the river, and the white sails were like tides. Everyone was surprised, where did they get so many ships?

"These canal ships on the Wei River transport grain from Jingshi Cang to Taicang, fishermen's boats, and even temporary ones."

As soon as Qin He finished speaking, a boat scattered in the heart of the river. The soldiers fell into the water one after another, and could only pick up the boats coming from behind and squeezed over to cross them. Many people were buried at the bottom of the river.

Looking at this scene, even the soldiers who usually claim to be very watery swallowed. The boat they were going to take was old and broken, so it wouldn't be too heavy, right? They could swim dozens of steps at most, but if something happened in the heart of the river, it would be too difficult to swim hundreds of steps back!

"Go on board, get on board!"

But behind him was a military judge with a huge eye. As the drum beat sounded, it was their turn. Everyone was like a group of ducks driven into the water. More than a hundred people boarded two boats, all of whom sat in a row and squatted. An experienced fisherman from the Yellow River was found to take the helm, sweating all over and shirtless.

Qin He kept standing. He ordered the number of people again. Two people were missing. After clicking twice, it was still the same. I don’t know if it was a fool or if I ran away when I was crowded. Qin He was anxious but had no choice but to do so. His boss ordered the ships to set off quickly!

As the drummer standing at the stern of the boat hit the boat, the boatman began to row the oars, and the soldiers sitting in the oars also had to follow them. Following the drum beats and trumpets, they left the dock little by little and headed towards the east coast!

I am really nervous, my hands are stiff, but in the past half-month rowing training, it has played a role in the at least, and the speed is not very fast, but the sharp bow of the boat is breaking through the yellow waves and moving forward steadily.

Arriving at the heart of the river, the morning breeze blew, and the water surface was a little shaking. Everyone has adapted to the swaying these days, without crying at my parents, and most of them pursed their lips. As the paddles were rowing, the Yellow River water sprinkled into the boat seemed to rain, stuck to their clothes, mixed with sweat, wet and cold chirping, which was very uncomfortable. After holding it in for a long time, someone finally spitted the food on the boat, and the smell was a bit strange, which would be the breath imprinted in their memory.

The trip was about to reach the end. Qin He stood up with the boat gang and looked forward. Through the mist on the river, he heard the shouts of killing coming from the shore.

The vanguard troops have already boarded. I heard that the people who participated in the Longshouqu Battle have been built into a dead soldier who have rewarded the most and are dedicated to attacking the toughest.

Because they failed to dock at the dock, the ship had to return to transport the next group of people and could not be stranded. Therefore, when they arrived at the shore, everyone had to jump to the water that could flood their waists and slowly flowed up. Qin He was a little shorter, and the water was almost at his neck. He could only raise his head and stare at everything on the shore with a vigilant view. At this time, if the enemy suddenly appeared and shot at them with a crossbow, it would be a lot of casualties.

But perhaps the forwards had cleared the coast, but they were not attacked and climbed onto the shore smoothly, and everyone was wet and exhausted.

There were many troops who went ashore together, and the east bank seemed a little chaotic. Each troops tried hard to raise small flags to gather their own people. Qin He ordered the number of people again. During the assembly process, he lost three or four more people, which made him so angry that he jumped straight.

The other teams were not much better. After they got apart, there were many people who were struggling in the other teams. They didn’t bother to look for them slowly, so they gathered together first.

After finally kneading together, the army Sima led their group of more than a thousand people to slowly move forward onto the shore. During this period, he passed by a camp and had several corpses upside down. It should have been done by the vanguard. But there were no more traces of battle. After entering the camp, he saw discarded pots everywhere, and even fires were still burning. The soldiers hurriedly surrounded them and at least roasted them to dry them.

"Escape."

Qin He kicked over a bowl, and there was still unfinished brown rice and a kettle filled with water. It was obvious that the enemy was running away in a hurry.

It took me one morning to cross the river, and everyone was hungry. They brought dry food: the grain was cooked by the corn, pounded it with water and kneaded it into a ball and dried it, so that it could be eaten, but now it doesn't have to be taken out.

After searching for a while, I found that these people had a good meal. There was half a fan of pork hanging in the barracks and ducks that I had snatched from somewhere. They were cheaper. They were quick to kill and pluck their hair immediately, and then roasted the fire and everyone divided them.

Someone found many women's clothes in the camp. A young soldier picked it up and smelled it and looked at each other, laughed, and was slapped hard on the back of his head by Qin He, scolding them, and told them not to have bad intentions when they arrived in Hedong.

As for the owner of these clothes, perhaps the dirt pits dug out of the camp and an exposed hand can make people happen. It is indeed true that Wang Xun's army raped and plundered Hedong in a large number of ways. Both the new army have far worse military discipline than Tian Kuang's army.

A few moments later, the Sima of the army sent scouts to contact the lieutenant ten miles downstream. The general idea was that Wang Xun's troops who were defending this section of the river were thousands of people. They found that the Wei army crossed the river and abandoned the camp and fled. The lieutenant Zheng Tong had already chased him with the vanguard, and the rest of the troops had to follow up to prevent the enemy from cheating.

I heard that it was a battle to rush, and everyone complained. Qin He was particularly distressed. He had already lost ten people. After running and chasing, he might lose half of them in the end.

But there was no way. The group that had eaten and dried their clothes was ready immediately. At this time, another song came over and the fire was left for them.

Qin He expected it to be right. On the way he marched, his men were fewer and fewer, all of them were lost. However, there were not many corpses, but they often encountered prisoners who squatted on the ground and threw away weapons, and were watched by several Wei soldiers. After asking, they found out that they were the vanguards of Zheng Tong's command. Now the new army has become a frightened bird, and they are only rushing eastward, without any resistance, and even hundreds of them surrender directly.

They were quite contented: "We got separated from our troops, but three people captured hundreds!"

Although there was no battle, Qin He and the others could not walk or leave. If they pursued like this, their own people would be astigmatized. They stopped to take care of the prisoners and waited for the fallen one after another to follow. He only looked at the footprints left by the forward and called out to the ghost: "How far should this Captain Zheng chase?"

This problem was also a big confusion among the nearby troops crossing the river. It was not until the entire war was over that they heard that Zheng Tong led 800 people to cross the river and traveled more than 100 miles a day and night, conquered several times, captured three or five thousand enemy troops, and rushed from the Yellow River to the vicinity of Wang Xun's base camp, Anyi!

Qin He and the others were waiting to collect their soldiers. When the night was getting late, the soldiers had not yet returned to the team, but a team of people lit torches and approached, which was so shocked that they immediately gathered and rushed to fight.

"Owner!"

This time, the Yueqi Camp did not take the lead, but did not accidentally attack friendly troops. People came to light torches and approached, looking at the "Wei Army" in front of them, and the new recruits who were squatting on the ground with a dejected look, confusedly being defeated in a retreat, then bowed to Qin He and others:

"I am Zhang Zong, a native of Yangquan Township, Jie County. I am here to welcome the king..."

When he thought that the word "子子" had been used up, Zhang Zong changed his name.

"Welcome the heavenly soldiers!"
