The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 606 Crossing the Li River
Although Zhou Xingfeng came from a reckless background, he was indeed very kind to the people when he was the governor of Wuping.

The common people here respect him very much, so when they heard that Yang Shifan had now betrayed Zhou Baoquan, they all took the initiative to help Zhou Jun.

Although Zhou Baoquan hadn't made much contribution to them, at least he was still the son of the old lord, wasn't he?
Zhou Xu found out that these people had hidden the boat in the reed marshes. This is the first month, and the reeds have withered.

But this lush reed is also the best hiding place, and it is easy to hide something inside.

These people were originally afraid of Yang Shifan's massacre order, that is, whoever helps Song Jun will definitely massacre his whole family in the future.

But now the village chief said that Yang Shifan had betrayed the old lord, it was like lighting a pile of gunpowder all of a sudden.

Everyone clamored to fight for Yang Shifan, and some people saw that there were not enough boats in the whole village with so many people, so they cut down the nearby trees to make a simple raft.

Originally it was better to use bamboo rafts, but there is no bamboo here, so I had to use trees to make some simple rafts.

Soon the ships here added some simple rafts, and it seemed that these troops could be transported back and forth in a few rounds.

But in this way, it is easy to be discovered by the Wuping army. What's the point of this, how can it pass without anyone noticing.

"Is there any reason why the Lishui River is relatively shallow? We don't need to take a boat. After all, there is no way to rely on these boats alone."

Zhao Xu wanted to ask these fishermen if it was possible to pass here. After all, the Lishui seemed to be an undercurrent to the outside world.

The old man seemed to know what the adult was worried about, so the old man smiled and said:
"Are you afraid that it will take too long for us to go back and forth by boat, or that they will find out and want to find a shortcut. This is no problem. The old man can help you swim there."

Wang Huan knew more about Lishui than Zhao Xu, because after all, he was the general who trained the navy, so he naturally knew the situation of Lishui.

"Old man, can this be crossed? Not to mention how cold the water is in the current season, and who doesn't know that the Lishui River seems to be smooth, with undercurrents surging and hidden reefs densely covered, even by boat. It's dangerous, let alone swimming over it?"

The old man smiled slightly:
"The general seems to have a certain understanding of the Lishui River, but I'm afraid the general didn't conduct a field visit. These are all passed on by our locals!"

"You also know that everyone in this troubled world wants to have a stable home. Our small fishing village doesn't want outsiders to disturb us, so we make this Lishui a bit dangerous, and other people dare not pass through here. And a moment of peace."

Wang Huan also looked at Zhao Xu and felt that what the old man said made sense. It seemed that the local people understood the reason.

"By the way, the old man, the weather is so cold now that the soldiers can't bear it if they cross the river like this. The old man's method of crossing the river will not work!"

These soldiers were indeed elite, but they were still a bit overwhelmed in the face of nature. This was Zhao Xu's personal experience.

"Hahaha, the method mentioned by the two adults and old men is here, but there should not be too many people passing through that place at one time, and if they are blocked by others, it will be dangerous, so I still don't recommend going there."

It turns out that what the old man said was that in a place in Lishui, there are rocks exposed in this season.

That is to say, people can step on the stone, but there should not be too many people, and the exposed stone cannot withstand so many people passing by.

"It's okay, Wang Huan, you lead most of the people to cross the river from here, and we will take a small number of people to the place the old man said, and we will meet at the opposite side, so it's settled."

Zhao Xu made a decision immediately after listening to it. Wang Huan was still a little reluctant, but Zhao Xu's last sentence swallowed the rest of his words.

Zhang Chongfu was defeated once at Sanjiangkou, but he had nothing to do, and was entrusted with an important task by Yang Shifan again.

Now his task is to patrol back and forth along the Lishui River, which is not a trivial matter for you, but the most important event.

One side of Lizhou is connected to Sanjiangkou, and the other side is the Lishui River. Although the Lishui River is difficult to get through, it is better to be careful at this time.

Zhang Chongfu still didn't change at all, he wandered back and forth beside the Lishui River with his people.

There was not even a single water bird on the water the whole morning, so there would be no one there, and the cold wind was blowing, which was really uncomfortable.

"Brothers, let's go drink in the afternoon, okay? There's not even a single person in this place. What are we still doing here? Besides, it's not that all the ships on the opposite side have been confiscated, and there are still strict orders. We are still afraid of people. are you coming?"

When Zhang Chongfu went up, his skin was blown apart, this feeling was not good, he was a little annoyed.

"General, Master Yang asked you to stay here to guard against you. If you leave at this time, we will all be punished by Master Yang."

"It's really annoying. In this way, we can stay here. It's a good idea. Send a few brothers to the town to buy more for a long time. By the way, bring me some beautiful girls back. They are suffocating here."

Zhang Chongfu thought that he hadn't touched a woman for such a long time, and he couldn't stand it.

They didn't stop people from drinking. They didn't like this place very much, but there was nothing they could do.

Soon they pulled several large carts of wine, and each of these soldiers stationed next to Lishui could drink wine.

This happiness forgot everything, even his own responsibilities, especially since Zhang Chongfu was still holding two beautiful girls in his arms.

Those who didn't know him thought they were drinking flower wine, it was no different from being in a brothel.

What does it mean to work from top to bottom? If you do this, other people can't be idle, so they also drink and eat to their heart's content!

Although they can't have beautiful women in their arms like Zhang Chongfu, at least they still have wine, which is their sustenance.

"Prince, we have all crossed the Lishui River. I have already sent someone to check the situation. I didn't expect us to pass the Lishui River so smoothly this time."

Wang Huan told Zhao Xu that they crossed the Lishui in just one trip, faster than originally expected.

"Enn, thanks to those fishermen, let's thank them after we pacify Wuping,"

"Prince, general, rejoicing, the Wuping army stationed in Lishui are all drunk, and the subordinates made their own decisions and asked their brothers to tie them up."
