Han Xiang

Chapter 331 Give You One Eye

Shouchun's task at this stage is to defend. Before he completely defeats Hebei, Cao Cao does not intend to waste time in the Jianghuai area. After all, in the Jianghuai area where waterways extend in all directions, a well-trained navy is needed.

At this time, Cao Cao didn't have the energy to form a navy, nor did he have the energy to build a fleet. Xiahou Dun was mainly left with infantry, and Shouchun only had a small number of officers equipped with mounts.

A large number of warships appeared on the Feishui, Xiahou Dun hurriedly ordered five thousand soldiers to go out of the city in the rain, and left Li Dian, a junior in the army who loved to 'preach', to assist the governor Liu Fu in defending the city.

On rainy days, the roads are muddy and the temperature is also cold due to the rain.

Shouchun's soldiers were wearing winter clothes and armor, running so fast that they were exhausted.

When Xiahou Dun walked to the bank of Feishui, he realized that the 'warship' not far away was not the right size. Why did it look like a fishing boat?
Captain Qin Yi also noticed the clue, and hurriedly reminded: "General Xiahou, look at this."

"What is this? Tell the soldiers to come up and prevent the Jiangdong rats from going ashore. Although the boats are small, they can't hold up to a large number. There are at least two hundred boats in this river." Xiahou Dun refused to admit his mistake and forced himself to make excuses.

"only."

Qin Yi didn't dare to disobey the military order, and clasped his fists in response to convey.

Those two hundred were ordinary small fishing boats, with a sailor wearing coir raincoat at the bow and stern rowing the oars, and both sides of the canopy were covered with green curtains, so it was impossible to see if there were people hiding in the cabin.

Seeing Xiahoudun's army approaching the river, the fleet immediately changed from a fish-scale formation to a long snake formation, and moved slowly against the west bank of Feishui.

There was Feishui blocking the road ahead, most of Cao's troops were impassable, and it was unrealistic to build floating bridges. Xiahoudun had to look at the river and sigh.

The number of people on the fishing boats is limited, and the other side covered both ends of the canopy with green mantles. Qin Yi suspected that there was no one under the canopy, and reminded again: "General Xiahou, these fishing boats are not flagged, and there may be no one in the cabin. There are only a few hundred of them, and they are even fishermen, why don't you let me lead the troops to stay under surveillance, so you don't have to get wet with them."

Xiahou Dun's expression was solemn, and he stroked his beard and said, "If there is no one in the cabin, why did they use the green mantle to cover it? It's clearly a trick, but your guess is also reasonable. Send someone with a loud voice to ask where they came from. Come? What do you want to do?"

Qin Yi wondered why he needed to find someone?He urged the horse to walk a few steps towards the river, put his hands on both sides of his nose, and shouted: "Hey, what are you doing? Where are you from? Where are you going?"

There was no response to the shout once, so Qin Yi yelled a second time, his majestic voice vibrating above the Feishui.

Just when Qin Yi repeated it for the third time, he saw someone on the opposite boat taking off his bamboo hat, with countless drops of water hanging on his beard, and then loudly replied:

"We are fishermen. We come from the sea in the east. I heard that Xu has a special kind of fish. The black one has only one eye."

"What a mess."

When Qin Yi was wondering, he saw Xia Houdun angrily galloping towards him, saw the black blindfold on his face, and immediately understood the connotation of the "fisherman" on the opposite side, thinking that you are really not good at coming.

Xiahou Dun cursed at the opposite bank with a knife in his hand: "You bastards are playing tricks, thinking that I didn't know I was Sun Quan's child's soldier? Why are you hiding on the other bank? Have the guts to land on the east bank."

"Blind man, you are not blind, you are teaching me how to do things? If you swim to the other side, I will let you have one eye, but I will let you have one hand. Come here."

The bearded man at the bow sometimes covered his eyes with his hands, and sometimes hooked his hands in a provocative gesture. Xiahou Dun was so angry that his whole body trembled, and the mount under him was also restless.

Seeing this, Qin Yi hurriedly reminded: "General Xiahou, don't fall for the bandits' tricks."

"Hmph, how could this general fall into the trick? Besides, the Feishui is not easy to pass," Xiahou Dun said coldly.

Qin Yi asked again: "Now the thief is on the other side, we can't cross without a boat, what can we do?"

"The enemy doesn't move, I don't move. Let's wait and see what happens. Sun Quan's child likes to use tricks, so I'll have fun with him today." Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of Sun Quan burning young crops last year.

"Yes."

Qin Yi clasped his fists and didn't dare to refute. He said in his heart that five thousand Cao troops were fighting against hundreds of people, and they were still facing each other in the rain.

After all, the status is very different from Xiahou Dun's. Thinking of how Li Dian was bullied in the city, Qin Yi can only accompany him in the rain by the river.

In order to restrain Xiahoudun, the 'fishermen' on the opposite side taunted him from time to time, and then they took out their fishing rods and sat on the bow of the boat to fish, just like a group of fishermen fishing in a black pit.

It was difficult to catch fish when it rained in spring. Not only did the 'fisherman' on the boat not catch any fish, but Xiahou Dun must also be in the air force this time, because he was caught by Chen Lan's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

After the confrontation for about two hours, the drizzle in the sky gradually stopped, but it was still gray. The cold wind from the river was blowing on their bodies, and many Cao soldiers were shivering.

Xiahoudun was on the verge of riding a tiger at this time, and he faintly felt that he had been tricked, but after waiting for two hours, the rain stopped, and it was a bit embarrassing to leave now.

Getting off the horse and shaking the rain on the armor, trying to lighten some of the weight on his body, he suddenly heard Qin Yi's panicky cry.

"General Xiahou is not good, General Xiahou is not good"

Xia Houdun's face turned dark when he heard it, remembering that he had reprimanded Qin Yi for this kind of thing, and thought that this guy has no memory at all?
What do you mean General Xiahou is bad?Isn't it good for the general to stand where he is?

The soldiers next to him gave way, and Qin Yi walked through the crowd to the river, still repeating: "No, General Xiahou"

"I have something to say, this general is very good." Xia Houdun's tone was deep, and the meaning of reproach was very obvious.

Qin Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly cupped his fists to report: "Yes, yes, the last general made a slip of the tongue, General Li urgently reported that a large number of troops were found in the east of Shouchun City, and they went straight to your rice fields."

"what?"

Xiahou Dun opened his eyes wide and scolded sharply: "Young Sun Quan, you bullied me too much! I don't plant rice and he won't come. I just finished raising seedlings and transplanting rice seedlings, and this guy actually comes to make trouble again. I can't bear it!"

"General Xiahou, are we going back to the army?" Qin Yi asked in a low voice.

Xiahou Dun glanced at the other bank, and as the spring rain slowly stopped, someone was slowly fishing, and he didn't pay attention to the five thousand Cao Jun.

"The Jiangdong rats attacked the rice fields, Li Mancheng should send troops, right?"

"no no"

Qin Yi shook his head lightly. Seeing that Xiahou Dun was obviously angry, he quickly added an explanation: "General Li said that there were too many bandits. He was worried about Shouchun's safety and dared not rush out of the city to defend against the enemy. Please return to the army quickly and make further calculations."

"Go back to the city and make a fuss?" Xia Houdun was stunned when he heard that, and asked in a deep voice: "If no one restrains me, how much rice can I have left? How many people scare Li Dian like this? Last year Zhang Wenyuan had so many troops, how dare he Charge against Sun Quan, and compete with Li Dian for judgment."
