Entering my nest

Yangluo Town is already very dilapidated, but its location is important. There are still seven or eight shops and inns for guests to rest. Zheyan host hundreds of people, and the small town cannot supply their needs. Most people make fires on the boat.

Cooking. Only Orihiko brought guards, and several boatmen went ashore.

Not far from Orihiko's fleet, a small boat docked at the corner of the pier. Two men got off the boat, turned to look at Orihiko's boat, and whispered: "Nao Niang, the people on the boat

If you don’t come down, it won’t be easy to find out the news.”

Another man said: "As long as you spot that Zhedu Cheng! Which store he enters, we enter which store."

After saying that, the two of them took their time and wandered around the town. Their eyes were fixed on Orihiko. When they saw Orihiko enter a dumpling shop, the two looked at each other and followed. They didn't wander any more.

Entered the dumpling shop.

This dumpling shop opened not long ago, and it was run like it was under the rule of Xiangyang. Over the years, Xiangyang has developed well, and surrounding prefectures and counties have followed suit.

The shop was very small and had no booths. Orihiko and his guards sat at one table, while the boatman sat at the next table.

The two men sat next to Orihiko and looked at the menu boards on the wall.

The waiter came over and said, "This is your first time here, sir? Our store is modeled after the dumpling shop in Xiangyang. It is the only one in the neighborhood. And there is a kind of lotus root dumpling, which is not available in Xiangyang and is unique to our store."

"

A man said: "Then let's have a lotus root dumpling, and then a leek dumpling. By the way, there is fresh fish, let's make one."

The boy said: "The store is next to the Yangtze River, how can there be no fish? Our place is not far from Wuchang, and the most famous one is Wuchang fish. It is just right for the two of us to have a steamed Wuchang fish. They are all from Xiangyang.

The methods I learned are the most delicious."

The man said: "Okay. Here are two portions of dumplings and one portion of Wuchang fish. You guys should make it faster, we have to hurry up."

The boy shouted, "Yes," and ran away.

The man looked at Orihikozhi coldly. The guard had already taken out the wine and ordered some cold dishes, which Orihikozhi started to eat unhurriedly.

Not long after, the dumplings Zheyan asked for came up. Zheyan said: "We won't rest in Tuanfeng Town tonight, you can eat more. After passing Ezhou, all the way to the border of Jiangzhou, the river is not peaceful, so you should be more careful.

.”

After hearing this, the two men looked at each other and understood each other tacitly. Zhe Yanzhi was not resting in Tuanfeng Town, and the news had to be told to Xu Wen as soon as possible.

Not long after, the waiter brought dumplings over.

A man said: "We are still in a hurry, so let's get some lotus leaves and wrap them up. By the way, wrap them up like fish."

The boy agreed, quickly took a few lotus leaves and wrapped the dumplings for the two of them. This is a common thing for store owners and is not unusual.

Not long after, the fish was wrapped and brought over. The two men counted the money, took it in their hands, and left the shop.

Walking to the street, a man said: "Zhi Niang thief, they don't stay in Tuanfeng Town, things will be difficult to handle. Let's leave quickly and tell Xu Tongzhi to make preparations early. Once Zhe Ducheng is let go, it will be a big sin."

!”

While talking, the two of them quickly returned to the boat. They untied the mooring rope, hoisted the full sail, and headed downstream.

The sentry arranged by Xu Wen on the sandbank was already looking forward to seeing what happened. When he saw a small boat on the river heading straight towards the sandbank, he said happily: "It must be the Wu brothers who are back!"

As soon as the two men landed, they were brought to Xu Wen.

After bowing, Wu Dalang said: "Commander, we heard clearly that Zhe Ducheng will not stay in Tuanfeng Town. And according to his wishes, we will have to travel all night to Jiangzhou without landing!"

Xu Wen nodded, did not speak, and thought there. After a while, he said: "Li Cheng and Kong Yan were several years away from Ezhou, and this area has been in chaos for a long time. Even if they are driven away, there will be no peace for a while.

Do you want to come down? Fortunately, I guessed that the Song army might not approach the shore and checked the water situation in this area. Okay, you two go to collect the reward and have a rest."

Seeing the two people leaving, He Ning asked anxiously: "Commander, if Zhe Yanzhi doesn't rest in Tuanfeng Town, things will be a little difficult. Tuanfeng Town is forty miles away from Huangzhou. If the wind is favorable, it will not take two hours."

.According to the current weather, it was just dark at that time.”

Xu Wen stood up, looked into the distance, and said loudly: "The great river goes eastward, and the waves are washed away, and the romantic figures of the ages. To the west of the fortress, the way of humanity is, Chibi, Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms. Dongpo layman was demoted to Huangzhou, so he wrote this poem

Red Cliff Nostalgia, Biography

It’s a famous poem. It’s just that Chibi in Huangzhou is probably not the place where Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao. Dongpo layman only said that the way of humanity is, it’s just a legend. Some people read this poem and said that it is here, wouldn’t it be ridiculous!”

He Ning wondered: "Why did Zongzong suddenly mention Dongpo's poems?"

Xu Wen turned around, looked at He Ning and said: "Red Cliff in Huangzhou is not necessarily where Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao, but it is where we got the artillery! On top of Red Cliff, there is a Qixia Tower, which is the highest point in Huangzhou. Today

At night, I will be upstairs in Qixia, watching you guys come back after seizing the artillery!"

He Ning suddenly realized: "Control means taking action in Chibi?"

Xu Wen nodded heavily: "Exactly! If Zhe Ducheng doesn't stay in Tuanfeng Town, then it will be night when he arrives in Chibi. There are less than a hundred soldiers in Huangzhou City now, and they are nearby heroes who have been recruited to surrender. Their leader is Xun Xun

Inspect Lu Xingchun. I have already agreed with him that after seizing the artillery, he will go north with us. Tonight, the land patrol will inspect the city and we will seize the artillery!"

He Ning let out a sigh of relief after hearing this: "It turns out that the commander-in-chief has already thought of a countermeasure! How can Zheyanzhi escape?"

Xu Wen smiled, turned around, and looked at the river not far away.

If Zhe Yanzhi rests in Tuanfeng Town, things will not be easy to do. Hundreds of his men are on the shore, which is not so easy to deal with. But on the water, Xu Wen is not afraid of them. He is used to fighting in the water.

Xu Wen has so many ways to deal with those who have fought.

If Orihiko was really careful, he should have kept the boat not too far from the shore and rested on the shore as soon as it got dark. Instead of walking in the center of the river like this, rushing day and night. The vast river may seem empty, but in fact it is full of dangers. Especially especially

At night, people like Xu Wen could come and go as they pleased.

Born in Fuzhou and mostly serving as an official in the north, Zhe Yanzhi was not familiar with waterways. In Xu Wen's opinion, his arrangements were full of flaws.

During these days in Tuanfeng Town, Xu Wen did not stay on the sandbank every day. He had already found out the situation in the vicinity. Even several groups of thieves around him were persuaded by him and wanted to follow him to enjoy the blessings of Qi Qi.

.Zhe Yanzhi decided to sail at night, how could he escape Xu Wen's plan?
