Chapter 429 Crossing the River

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Su Jun was very satisfied with the effect he had created, and then added: "The third point is to recruit the refugees for his use by killing the refugee commanders like us. This needs to be said more,

Everyone should know that the Yellow River is still in the flood season, and the Qin army will not be able to cross the river for a while, but the weather will turn warm in more than a month at most, and the King of Qin will definitely send troops to Huainan!

In addition, Your Majesty has asked me to bring you a message. The nobles and clansmen are all at both ends of the spectrum. Due to Your Majesty's temporary unfavorable situation, they have turned to the King of Qin one after another. Therefore, Your Majesty has already planned to kill them all. In the future, the world of Chu will be

, this is the world for us refugees! Everyone, time is running out, so please make a decision quickly!"

Han Qian immediately took it and said: "Okay! General Su is in Zhuji. We will stay in Shouchun and have no other choice but to die. We might as well cross the river and follow your majesty to give him a try! Everyone, I have decided to cross the river.

Why are you still hesitating?"

Han Qian has already figured it out. Su Jun's analysis is very likely. Yunfeng is indeed not a wise master who can rely on him. Although Liu Kun is not a good guy, at this point, he has no choice but to cross the river.

Keep an eye out.

Han Qian is one of the three civilian commanders of the Huainan Army who are on par with Wei Ce and Feng Tie. Since he took the lead in expressing his stance, the remaining civilian commanders will naturally have no choice but to follow suit. What's more, in their eyes, Su Jun's analysis is not an empty threat.

As a result, they all expressed their willingness to join Liu Kun, and Zu Huan, the governor of Yuzhou, what else could he do besides follow him? [

Wei Ce and Feng Tie couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Su Jun a secret look of approval. Su Jun was also quite proud of himself. Although the description of Yunfeng had been distorted and smeared, he still had to feel it.

Ink is what it takes, it can't be done by just pulling in someone.

At this time, Han Qian frowned and asked: "General Su, since we have decided to return to your majesty, and there is a threat from the Qin army. Logically speaking, the sooner we cross the river, the better. However, I heard that

The river has long been controlled by the Qin navy, but Chu has ships escorting it. How can we get through this? I am afraid that as soon as it enters the river, the Qin fleet will immediately swarm over it. Isn’t it a waste of time? I don’t know General Su.

Do you have any clever ideas?"

As soon as these words came out, the commanders of the large and small refugees all thought in their hearts. You must know that the lower reaches of the river are no more than the Jingjiang River and above. They are often only a few miles wide, and the lower reaches are often dozens of miles. Even if you row with a smooth wind and a smooth current, it still takes one or two.

It took an hour to get through. After such a long time, the Qin fleet had already heard the news and arrived.

However, instead of crossing the river downstream, how can we march thousands of miles upward, cross the river and then turn back? Where can we raise so much food and grass? Not to mention that it takes time to raise food and grass. After such a delay, most of the main force of the Qin army has also crossed the river.

Huai River.

Suddenly, the warm atmosphere just now cooled down rapidly. Some people frowned and thought hard, and some even showed hesitation again.

Su Jun waved his hand so-called: "Please don't worry. At the turn of winter and spring, the fog is thick. Let's find a night of thick fog to cross the river. We can't see our fingers on the river. Could it be that the Qin army's warships dare to come out to intercept? We just need to be careful.

Are you still afraid of not being able to cross the river? Taking a step back, even if it takes the risk to attack, it will be easily confused when the line of sight is unclear. Haha~~ You can also look for opportunities to seize a few of his warships and present them to His Majesty as a gift.

Here’s the meeting gift!”

"Huh?" The refugee commanders at the table thought the same thing, and their frowns relaxed again, and their faces showed a relaxed look again.

Su Jun was extremely disdainful in his heart. He thought that refugees are indeed refugees. Even if they add a handsome word, they cannot escape the essence of being a refugee. Although he claimed to be a refugee not long ago, in the final analysis, Su Jun is extremely disdainful of refugees.

Anyway, the Changguang Su family can be considered a county leader, and can barely squeeze into the ranks of the third-rate gentry.

After secretly sneering, Su Jun cupped his hands: "Now that time is running out, let's make preparations quickly. It will last for three days, and then the whole army will head to Liyang. How about? I have already prepared the ships and will wait for the fog to come.

, set off immediately!”

Everyone agreed with a roar, and the atmosphere was once again warm.

In the next three days, Shouchun was very busy. The large and small refugee commanders were all preparing for the departure. Crossing the river became their only chance of survival, and it was also an opportunity to leap over the dragon. Because the time was too hasty, they did not

The law took away the people and had no choice but to abandon them locally. However, even so, they still robbed some strong men and beautiful girls, and looted Shouchun. No matter the rich or the common people, they could not escape the murderous hands!

In the eyes of the refugee commander, the north of the river will become the territory of the Qin State, and the people living on this land will accordingly become the Qin people. They are the people of the enemy country. They did not massacre the city, but only robbed the property. The woman was already merciful.

!

It only took Su Jun six days to travel from Liyang to Shouchun. When he returned, it took ten days because of the large number of people. However, after arriving in Liyang, the weather was fine, which made them feel helpless and they had to wait anxiously.

By the end of the month

On the last day, February 28th, light rain fell in the sky. In the evening, the rain gradually stopped and the fog gradually spread. Su Jun couldn't help but be happy and quickly called on the troops to cross the river at night.

.

Due to the shortage of ships, Su Jun only collected a thousand ships, a considerable part of which were fishing boats and small civilian ships, and only a few dozen large fighting ships. This resulted in that each transport of troops, equipment, supplies, and food would not exceed three

Ten thousand people, and now there are as many as one hundred thousand troops stationed in Liyang. If

This method of transportation will take at least three times to cross the river. There will be no accidents each time, and it does not take into account the impact of fog on the line of sight. It will take two hours to calculate, and the fastest will not be until the next morning.

After crossing them all, it was already dawn and the fog was still there. It was hard to tell.

Although the river between Liyang and Gushu is nearly thirty miles wide, there is a sandbar across the river that is fifteen or sixteen miles wide. Therefore, Su Jun, Han Qian, Wei Ce and others decided after discussion that they had to endure the pain.

Throw away the baggage and only carry weapons and provisions that can be carried with you or carried on horses.

At the same time, the ship was divided into two halves for use. One half transported people and materials to the sandbank and reached the other end of the sandbank as quickly as possible. The other half was picked up by 500 ships and transported to the sandbank only three to four miles away.

Quarrying.

In this way, the efficiency of ship use can be improved, as there is no need to go around the sandbank to reach the other side like the first solution, and the speed of transportation is also accelerated.

According to optimistic estimates, the crossing can be completed at Xu time (7 o'clock in the morning) the next day.

The first people to cross the river were the Wei Ce Department and some small-scale civilian commanders, a total of 20,000 people. At Haishi (9 o'clock in the evening), a thousand boats were sailing on the Liyang section of the river at the same time, half of which went around the sandbank to Gushu.

After driving on that side, the other half rowed quietly towards the east. Due to the fog and darkness, although the surroundings could not be said to be invisible, the visibility would never exceed five feet![

Everyone was a little nervous, but full of confidence. They didn’t believe that the Qin Army would come out to intercept them in such weather. They couldn’t even see their companions around them. How could the Qin Army find themselves? (To be continued. If
