History of Yongwu

Chapter 278 Lijiang Noodles

Jiangbei, Jin army barracks

Defeating the Wu army, regaining Jingzhou, and forcing Zhao to retreat, no matter how much the king of Jin was worried, it was a great victory for the soldiers of the Jin army. The king of Jin hosted a banquet to reward the soldiers, and every camp was full of noise.

Outside the barracks, Qin Yu was sitting alone on the shore. When footsteps came from behind him, he turned his head slightly, "Li Han, why don't you go drink?"

"Accompany the prince in the future"

"Accompany me?" Qin Yu laughed, beckoning him over and asking, "Li Han, are you married?"

Li Han was taken aback for a moment, and said a little shyly, "It's done."

"When?"

"Yonghe 12 Years"

Nodding clearly, Qin Yu looked at him, "Unfortunately, I didn't drink your wedding wine!"

In the 12th year of Yonghe, he and Wang Meng searched for the King of Jin for several months but failed. Li Han didn't know how to answer, so he bowed his head and remained silent.

Qin Yu waved his hands, and said in a harmonious voice, "I'm thousands of miles away from home, and I went to the battlefield with my king. Thank you for your hard work. Go back to the camp and have fun with them!"

Li Han hesitated for a moment, looked up and saw King Jin looking at the river in a daze, as if he didn't want to be disturbed, so he folded his hands and retreated.

The sky got darker, Qin Yu looked sideways at the sunset, and thought of the Yanglan River with rippling blue waves and pleasant warm wind, how intoxicating and soft-hearted it was.

In Yongcheng, Du Xuetang is there, with ambitions in mind, behind the capital, Nangong Yuliang, who is sitting high on the throne, can't wait to kill his enemies.

"The cycle of karma, maybe this is retribution." Qin Yu laughed at himself, stood up and strode back to the barracks.

Thousands of miles away, I rushed back to the capital, but I didn't want to stay there, I just wanted to end all of this as soon as possible, and I couldn't wait to end it.

In August, the unanimous rest of the Wu army and the Jin army ended, and the King Jin army began a long journey across the river, but the Wu army was as solid as a wall of iron, and did not allow the King Jin army to cross the river at all.

After preparing to attack Wu, the king of Jin asked the imperial court to supervise the construction of a batch of warships, but it was only for time storage, and secondly, the volume of the Beijing River was not as good as that of the river, so the ships built were far less tall than the warships of the Wu army, and the battle between the two armies made the Jin army more difficult.

As for the generals, from His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the soldiers, most of the soldiers of the King Jin Army came from the Kingdom of Jin or the North, and no one knew how to fight on the water.

The only one who knew how to fight against the Wu army was Yu Yi of the Guanzhong Army, but Wu Guo blocked the entire river, and boats could not cross the river, let alone ask Yu Yi for advice.

People in the world really remembered the power of the Wu State Navy. Since the battle, the King Jin's army did not get half a cent of it, and they were driven back every time in disgrace. This situation was only encountered in front of the King of Wu throughout his life.

Jiangbei Barracks

"My lord, Pingyaodu lost a warship and a dozen small boats, injured..."

"Okay." Qin Yu rubbed his eyebrows, "Is there no other news for this king? Any news from An Ziqi?"

"Wu Jun's blockade is too strict. It will take time for the news from Lord An to come from Jijun and Baijingcheng," Zhao Zhiping replied.

Qin Yu rested his chin and didn't make a sound. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Pause the march first, and beware of the Wu army's sneak attack."

"Yes" Li Han went down.

"My lord..." Zhao Zhiping was about to ask.

"Zhiping" Qin Yu interrupted and looked at him, "I must cross this river."

"I understand." Zhao Zhiping retreated.

In September, when the cold dew first fell, the weather suddenly cooled down. The Jin army and the Wu army confronted each other for nearly a month, and no one could do anything to the other.

In the barracks, Qin Yu walked casually between the camps, his brows gradually frowned, and as he kept on doing nothing, the morale of the army became more and more slack, even if he had the chance, he might not be able to conquer the Wu army.

"My lord, Wu Ying is here to envoy"

"Where?" Qin Yu turned around and looked at Li Han.

"Wu Ying" Li Han also looked strange.

Qin Yu stood there thinking for a while, then walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army, "Let him come over"

In the military tent

Qin Yu looked at the envoy Wu in front of him, and asked, "It's rare for the king of Wu to send an envoy here."

"Small man Shang Yu, see the King of Jin." Shang Yu slightly bowed and looked at the King of Jin quietly.

He has seen all the kings in the world now except King Huai. He has seen King Zhao, but he feels that this person is dark and dark, while the King Jin in front of him is very ordinary.

Shang Yu had seen King Wu who was in high spirits, so in his opinion, King Jin was far more ordinary than King Wu.

As for the King Jin in front of him, Shang Yu felt that if he was not born in the royal family, if he was just an ordinary nobleman in the capital, no one would pay attention to him.

"What is Mr. Shang looking at?" Qin Yu smiled and stood up and said, "This king is far inferior to Brother Wu, right?"

"The villain doesn't dare." Shang Yu was startled, but his expression was calm.

Ha ha... Qin Yu smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "This king still has this self-knowledge. People who have met brother Wu Wang feel that men in the world are not as good as Wu Wang."

"The villain thanked the king for the praise"

"What are you doing here, sir?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

"Three days later, King Wu Jiangxin hosted a banquet and invited King Jin to have a drink," Shang Yu replied.

Have a drink?Qin Yu laughed, paused and said, "This king will come"

"The villain resigns"

"Mr. walk slowly"

Shang Yu withdrew, feeling a little weird in his heart, leaving the Jin camp and stepping on the boat, Shang Yu finally understood where the weirdness came from.

Jin Wang is not the same as the rumors, or when he gets along with Jin Wang, he forgets the rumored Jin Wang.

This person is easy-going and amiable, far easier to get close to than King Wu. King Jin's words and deeds are not as natural as King Wu, but it is easy to make people trust and like him.

"No wonder, King Jin has been away from the country for three years, and there are still people who are loyal." Shang Yu thought of Lord An Hou who made him run into a wall.

In the camp of the Jin Army, Qin Yu called Zhao Zhiping over, looked at him and said, "Sir, after the king of Wu invites me for three days, Jiang Xin will have a drink."

"The two armies are facing each other, and our army is still at a disadvantage. I only know that King Wu is definitely not trying to show off to the prince," Zhao Zhiping said.

"That's right." Qin Yu sighed and said, "It's just that I can't figure out Fu Yusi's intentions."

The monarch and his ministers sat facing each other, with their brows tightly furrowed, staring at the map in silence, when suddenly footsteps came from outside the tent, Li Han pushed the door in and was startled when he saw the appearance of the two.

"Lord"

"What's the matter?" Qin Yu asked casually.

"General An sent a letter. The battle in Yingzhou is still unfavorable. Lord An also said that King Yueduan was in chaos and fell into internal fighting..."

Before Li Han finished speaking, Qin Yu and Zhao Zhiping looked up and smiled at each other. Qin Yu stood next to the map and his eyes fell on Jiangnan.

"God gave this king the opportunity to cross the river"

There was a flat boat in the middle of the river, and there were tall warships on both sides. Qin Yu looked up and saw the warship of the Wu army descended into a small boat, carrying the king of Wu and paddling towards the heart of the river.

"Let's go too," Qin Yu said and took Li Han off the warship and onto the small boat.

Above Jiangxin, King Wu was already waiting there, and Peng Ge stood beside him, watching King Jin and Li Han carefully.

"Six Brothers"

"Brother Wang"

The two saluted, stopped and watched for a long time, and at the same time they turned sideways and said "please" King Jin and King Wu stepped onto the small boat in the heart of the river together. Li Han and Peng Ge retreated not far away and looked around carefully.

King Wu was tall and tall, sitting half a head taller than him. In the small boat, King Wu turned his head to look at the two confronting Jiang, and said with a smile, "It's a big deal."

Sitting opposite Qin Yu also smiled and said, "Brother Wang is bold"

"Sixth Brother, it's true." King Wu pondered for a moment before saying, "Unexpectedly."

"Brother Wang, is this boasting little brother?"

"Of course." King Wu smiled, picked up the jug on the table and poured two glasses.

"Little brother doesn't drink alcohol." Qin Yu pushed away the wine glass, poured another cup of tea and raised it up, "Replace wine with tea, and respectfully reunite with Brother Wang after a long absence"

King Wu was slightly startled, he didn't care, raised his glass and drank it down, put down the glass and said, "Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

"Little brother can't drink alcohol." Qin Yu shook his head and stopped talking.

King Wu didn't ask any more questions, poured himself a cup and said, "You did a great job in Jingzhou, I feel ashamed."

"It's a pity that brother Yusi saw it through." Qin Yu said with some disappointment, "I will reward you a lot. Those who can take the head of the king of Wu will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, but the king is too brave, and no one can succeed."

"But your ambushes have caused heavy losses to Wu Jun." Wu Wang looked at him and said with admiration, "Yu Si plotted against you, but you have seen through Zhao Wang. One win and one loss are nothing."

Haha... Qin Yu laughed loudly, "Brother Wang, are you comforting me?" He stopped laughing, pointed at the river and said, "But I can't get across this thousand miles of river."

King Wu lowered his head slightly, looked at the wine glass and said, "You can't get over it with me here, sixth brother...you..." He remembered Fu Yusi's words and didn't say any more.

"Brother Wang, I am not as brave and resolute as you, but in terms of dexterity and strategy, Brother Wang is not as good as me." Qin Yu looked at him and said lightly, "So the outcome is unknown!"

King Wu looked up at him, and Qin Yu's eyes sparkled brightly, as if he had seen a fine horse in the past.

"That's right, but I have Yusi's wit to make up for my shortcomings. Where's the sixth brother?" King Wu smiled brightly while holding his wine glass.

"I have thousands of soldiers under my command"

"Hahaha..." King Wu laughed and said to him, "Sixth brother, who dares to say that you are not brave enough... I can't imagine that you are so brave today."

He still remembers the way Qin Yu came to his house to pester him and take him out of the city to ride a horse.

Qin Yu didn't make a sound. It had been many years, and he had long stopped recalling the somewhat surprising difference. He was so lightly dressed and full of calculations. It seemed embarrassing to say it, but given the surname Qin, there was nothing to embarrass.

"Sixth Brother" King Wu was silent for a while and said, "How will you deal with yourself after Wu is destroyed?"

See you at the picture!Lifting his lips and smiling, Qin Yu said "Allegiance to His Majesty"

"Your Majesty? That baby in the Golden Palace?" King Wu looked at him amusedly, and said solemnly, "Or is it Nangong Yuliang behind him?"

"Brother Wang, that's the Empress Dowager, speak carefully." Qin Yu's eyelids drooped to cover the cold light inside.

"You should be cautious." Wu Wang looked at him, "There is Wu and Jin, what about the court, but if Wu Cunjin is destroyed, the sixth brother will go further, do you have other options? And can you face the queen mother with swords?"

He asked himself that if Yusi was like this, he would rather commit suicide than confront his beloved with swords.

"Hehe" Qin Yu picked up the teacup and smiled, looking at the waves on the river, he was silent.

"If you retire from the army, I promise to serve the imperial court for the rest of your life"

"Brother Wang, if you are arrested without a fight, I promise to keep you and Fu Yusi safe forever." Looking back, Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Will Brother Wang believe it?"

"I don't believe it." King Wu shook his head, but he looked at him and said, "But King Wu never promises anything."

Hahaha... Qin Yu stroked the table and laughed loudly, "Brother Wang is a hero, younger brother is deceitful, everyone knows it. How can a deceitful person trust others? Brother Wang, don't you find it ridiculous?"

King Wu was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "It's really ridiculous." Pushing his cup up, he looked at Qin Yu and said solemnly, "In that case, see you and me on the battlefield!

"See you on the battlefield!" King Jin sat on the spot holding a cup, his eyes still on the river, motionless!

King Wu returned to the warship and leaned on the railing to look at the departing Jin army warship. Fu Yusi walked out of the cabin and stood beside him. King Wu looked at the river, sighed, and said leisurely, "Just now, I really want to take a step back. , don't hurt his life"

"I know." Fu Yusi held his hand and tilted her head on his shoulder.

On the upstairs boat, Qin Yu glanced back. King Wu's battleship had retreated. He looked at Li Han and asked in a deep voice, "Has it started yet?"

"Wu Jun did take advantage of this to sneak back to aid Pingyaodu, Master Zhao has already brought people there"

"Okay." Qin Yu pressed the side of the boat, clenched his right hand and said, "Meet Zhiping."

"Yes"

In the lower reaches of Baicheng, Wu Jun's warships were silent, but they moved quickly and went down the river. The ships were full of armored soldiers, looking around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a string of black shadows gradually approached on the dense water surface. Wu Junbing, who was guarding the stern, watched carefully, and suddenly blew the horn.

"Enemy Attack"

Several large ships of the Wu army turned their masts and sped away from this place. Just as they rushed out of the narrow channel, the warships of the Jin army suddenly appeared in front of them. The warships lined up in a battle formation. approached quickly.

"Fight!" Chu Zhang ran out of the leading Wu army warship, drawing his sword and shouting loudly.

The soldiers of the Wu army were well-trained immediately, but they were outnumbered, and they were flanked by front and back, so they were no opponents at all for a while.

On the last battleship, Qin Yu stood on the top deck, watching the battle ahead from a distance. Although he didn't understand water warfare, he could tell how heavy the Wu army was.

He breathed a sigh of relief, he finally passed the natural danger of Jiangshui, and the rest was simple.

"Prince" Li Han suddenly rushed over from the stern of the ship in a panic, "at the junction of the Yingshui River, a large number of warships from the Kingdom of Wu suddenly rushed out and are coming this way."

Got it!Qin Yu's expression changed, he turned around and glanced at the situation behind him, "Tell Wang Meng to retreat"

"My lord, General Wang retreated, and we were caught in the middle by Wu Jun," Li Han said anxiously.

"This king knows." Qin Yu swiped and pulled out his sword, and walked towards the stern of the boat, "Let's rush out"

The warships of the Wu army approached slowly. It was the first time Qin Yu saw such a tall building ship at such a close distance. It was more than ten feet high, much taller than the warships of the Jin army.

King Wu's red flag was planted on the bow of the boat, fluttering in the wind, Qin Yu squinted to see that King Wu was standing on the bow, and seemed to have seen him too.

So, you really wanted to spare my life just now, didn't you?But it's too late, now you and I can only live one!

King Wu stared intently at the black figure standing against the wind, drew out his sword and ordered

"Speed ​​up, run over"

"Yes"

Fu Yusi stood beside him, holding his hand tightly, and her eyes fell on that figure.King Jin, if you die today, the world will be peaceful.

boom! ! !

The entire ship shook violently, accompanied by a loud shattering sound, Qin Yu was shaken and fell on the deck, just about to stand up, the warship was pushed across, Wu Jun's warship hit again.

The difference between the warships of the two armies is too great. After a few hits, the warships of the Jin army were basically broken and unable to support.

"Prince" Li Han protected him, and said loudly, "The warship can't hold up anymore, you and the last general can get on the small boat and leave."

The Jin army was defeated too quickly, and was torn apart by the Wu army from the middle like a rotten one. The battleship was smashed to pieces. King Jin has fought for so many years, and has never been defeated so thoroughly, without the power to fight back.

"Let's go" Qin Yu looked in Wu Jun's direction unwillingly.

Li Han hurriedly covered King Jin boarding the small boat, and the Jin army abandoned the warship, boarded the small boat and fled to the shore one after another.
