Chapter 134

"Brother, have you noticed that there are fewer Tartar boats, and the intervals between river patrols are also longer." After muttering to himself, Xie Xianwen added: "The thieves are trying to escape.

You should tell Brother Guan that if you take the opportunity to attack, regardless of anything else, you may be able to capture two large five-tooth ships. "

Cheng Huading looked at it for a while, confirmed Xie Xianwen's guess, and immediately went to the navy camp.

Guan Da was also infected with the disease and had just recovered. He had not gone to patrol the river. After listening to the report of the two little brothers, he immediately rushed to the river.

Before the plague, the number of warships on the river was constant, and it did not decrease when the plague occurred. Because the Yuan army generally had large ships and soldiers could live on them, there were almost no infected people.

Now that there are fewer ships, there is only one possibility - to run away.

"Will they play hard to get and tempt our army to attack?" Guan Da raised his concerns.

"It's unlikely." Xie Xianwen analyzed: "Our army is sick and will not be dispatched even if it is tempted. Zhang Rongshi is an old general and will not do such a useless thing."

This explanation was very reluctant, but Xie Xianwen added a sentence that touched Guan Da's heart.

"No matter what, if you have the chance to capture the Five-Toothed Ship, it's always worth a try."

Which man can resist the temptation of a big ship?Even if Lin'an is captured, the five-toothed ship can only be used as a decoration, and Guan Da cannot refuse the temptation.

"That's all. Order a hundred boats with 500 people. Go and explore. If you have a chance, go on board. If you don't, leave if you don't." Guan Da gritted his teeth and said.

Cheng Huading said: "Regardless of success or failure, 500 people are not enough. We should ask Yin Tongzhi to send someone to respond."

To be honest, Guan Da looked down on Yin Shihong, a subordinated general. When he went to bed at night, he often complained about why the guy didn't die of illness. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still went to find him.

Yin Shihong heard Guan Da's strategy, thought for a moment and said: "I will send 1000 people to respond. If it fails, you will take responsibility. If it succeeds, you will take full credit."

"Okay, it's easy to take control." Guan Da agreed, went back and ordered the men and horses of his headquarters, and borrowed men and ships from the familiar commander.

At this time, the ship lock has not yet been repaired, and the water of the Qiantang River is rolling down, but they are only small boats, so the impact is not big.

Just as a group of people entered the Qiantang River, a convoy entered the Xiaoshan Camp.

Luo Qianfu, the escort officer and commander of the Imperial Guards, said: "The last general, Luo Qianfu, was ordered to escort the medicinal materials. Please check with Chen Tong."

Chen Wei saw that his face was covered...no, it was two ropes hanging from his ears, and he couldn't help but curiously asked the reason.

Luo Qianfu replied: "This is a mask, designed by Your Majesty to keep away the plague. The Queen Mother mobilized the women of Wenzhou to make it. This time, [-] pieces were delivered to the Xiaoshan camp."

"Your Majesty has not forgotten me!" Chen Wei immediately burst into tears.

Everyone can understand that the emperor stepped foot on Huangyan. After all, eight-year-old children are really not suitable for taking risks, but they are inevitably disappointed in their hearts.

The emperor doesn't want us anymore.

Simple and sad thoughts.

Hearing that the emperor was thinking about it at this time, he was inexplicably moved.

"How can a man act like a woman?" Zhang Shijie strode over and said, "Hand out the masks and tell the whole army, tell the officials and the Queen Mother about your kindness."

"I sincerely comply with the decree of Prime Minister Jun." Everyone responded and distributed masks to the entire army.

Thick linen inside and outside, silk in the middle, the defensive effect is good, just look at the soldiers who get it and cheer up, the mental effect must be good.

Then, Zhang Shijie led everyone to count the medicinal materials.

In the early stage, all the medicinal materials in Wenzhou have been sent northward. The ones sent this time are all from Fuzhou, and the ones further away are still being collected and transported.

"Because we don't know what kind of medicinal materials are effective, we will bring all we can collect. In addition, His Majesty asked us to prepare a large amount of garlic and dried ginger for prevention," Luo Qianfu said.

Zhang Shijie cupped his hands towards the south and said: "The officials are naturally wise and kind-hearted. I can only return to Lin'an to repay your kindness."

After flattering the emperor, Zhang Shijie looked at Luo Qianfu again and said: "You are not afraid of life and death and throw yourself into desperate situations. You are all loyal and brave men, and the court will not be held responsible." "You have exceeded your responsibilities within the scope of your duties." ." Luo Qianfu said.

Awarded?
not at all.

Everyone knew how serious the plague was, but Luo Qianfu and his men still came with the medicinal materials. It was impossible for anyone but a loyal and brave person to do so.

While chatting, when we got to the car behind, we didn’t even need to uncover it, we just smelled it and knew it was garlic.

"Huh?" Zhang Shijie suddenly felt much more comfortable in his lungs and couldn't help but take another deep breath.

Just when Zhang Shijie thought it was an illusion, the guard next to him shouted: "Prime Minister, the smell of garlic is quite pleasant. Could it be that it can cure the plague?"

"Indeed."

"It's saved, it's saved..."

The Sakon soldiers were talking a lot, and they seemed to have discovered a magic medicine.

Of course Zhang Shijie hoped so, but he knew it wouldn't be that simple, so he immediately recruited a doctor to study it.

This cannot be done in an instant, but Guan Da has already reached the other side of the Qiantang River.

Along the way, no Yuan soldiers were seen.

"He really ran away, chase him!" Guan Da ordered.

The sailors worked hard and rowed hard. When they arrived at the Yuan army's water village, they saw only two large ships and a dozen small boats parked inside.

One of the building ships was already on fire, while the Yuan army on the other building ship was divided into two groups and were in a confrontation.

"No, the Song Army is coming~" With a shout, the boat dispersed.

Guan Da didn't chase him at all, he just stared at the ship.

Someone in the confrontational Yuan army shouted: "Zhao Si, the king's army has arrived. Why don't you surrender quickly? Are you going to die for the Tartar dogs?"

"Surrender, surrender." The man who was called Zhao Si immediately put down his weapon and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

The Guan Da immediately ordered: "Come on, put out the fire immediately, and then tell the rear troops to come here."

One ship was captured easily, but the other ship could not be let go. However, the Yuan army poured a lot of fire oil on it, and the fire had already started. Not to mention putting out the fire, it was difficult to get close to it.

Guan Da had no choice but to give up and turn to ask the surrendered Southern soldiers.

"The villain Liu Yong was originally the head of the boat in the B-shaped building. He always regarded the boat as his home, so he did not want to set fire." Liu Yong was the one who stopped the arson and persuaded Zhao Si to surrender.

"Because Linping Town was recaptured by the King's Division, the Tartar navy troops entered the Guantang River and must have gone to Taihu Lake. If the general wants to pursue them, they must march quickly."

Yuhang County's water village is stuck at Sanhekou. The canal goes to the northeast and the Guantang River goes to the north. After arriving in Huzhou, you can go north to enter Taihu Lake or east to enter the canal.

No matter what, you can perfectly avoid the control of Linping Town.

"Why did you retreat? How long have you been gone? How many troops are there on the ship? How are the patients?" asked the Guan Da.

Liu Yong was a little surprised, but still replied: "General Manager Liu took Nanxin Town, and General Yang took Linping Town. They were attacked on both sides, and the Tartars were frightened. Deputy General Manager Ali did not lead many generals and his troops to run away. The manager, Zhang Hongfan, fell into a coma, so they all left.

Liu Jie and Zhang Rongshi left early in the morning, and it had been two hours since the last one left. There were [-] large and small ships, more than [-] soldiers, and few sick people. "

Guan Da said: "I don't ask why you didn't leave. Just protecting the building and the boat is a great achievement, and the court will definitely reward you."

Liu Yong replied: "Who would be willing to burn such a big ship? And we, who call this our home, are even more reluctant to do so."

Who can give it up?Even the Mongols were reluctant to part with them, but Zhang Rongshi and Liu Jie overestimated their appeal, allowing Guan Da to take advantage of them.
