Seeing the firelight on the other side of the river, Wang Ruohai said: "Okay, Xue Cheng's people have crossed the river! The pontoon bridge on the Yellow River has been destroyed, and there are no troops stationed on the other side. Only soldiers and horses occasionally come to patrol. If we cross the river at night, there must be no troops.

People know.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "This area is densely populated, how come no one knows about it. I just hope that those who know don't want to cause trouble, or don't understand what we are doing. Since Xue Cheng has lit the fire, let's order the ferry to start crossing the river. Today

Only after we tried it later did we know how many troops could pass through in one night."

Wang Ruohai said yes and asked Shao Xing on the side to immediately organize the boatmen to start crossing the river.

On an early summer night, there is a cool breeze. Standing by the Yellow River makes you feel relaxed and happy.

With the help of starlight, the selected boatmen were arranging the ferry on the shore. Pan Lu, the governor, even brought fifty people on board a ferry. He wanted to see for himself how it was to cross the river at night and whether the boat was stable or not.

With the sound of swaying, the ferry boat swung toward the other side.

The starlight was blurred, and after a while, the shadow of the ferry disappeared into the night.

Wang Ruohai and Shao Xing looked anxiously at the hourglass on one side, and from time to time looked up at the Yellow River in the night.

Wang Xiaolie stood on the shore with a calm expression. The wind blew from the Yellow River at night and hit his face, making him feel refreshed. It was very quiet at night. Occasionally, there would be two birdsong in the woods, and sometimes there would be

Two cicadas chirped.

The flow of the Yellow River in this area is gentle. If you are a skilled boatman, there is no problem in crossing the river at night. What is uncertain is how long it will take to get back and forth. If the speed is fast enough, you can try to use a large ferry, which will reduce a lot of trouble. If the speed is slow,

Just add some small ferries.

Cross the river overnight and attack Tongzhou. If successful, this speed will be the greatest pressure on Shaanxi's surrender.

On the other side of the Yellow River, Xue Cheng looked at the river anxiously. He crossed the river first and cleaned up this section of the river bank before the ferry could cross. In order to stay hidden, there was no one on this side of the section of the river chosen tonight. In a night like this,

How could there be anyone?

Suddenly, a soldier pointed into the river and said: "Coming, coming!"

Xue Cheng looked at the river and saw a hazy shadow emerging from the night. After a while, it got closer and he could see it was a ferry.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Xue Cheng said: "Thank God, they finally didn't go astray!"

The soldiers beside him laughed and said: "What did the commander say? The boatman who rocked the boat is said to have spent his whole life hanging out on the river. How could he go astray!"

Not long after, Pan Lu led his people and quickly jumped ashore. He said to Xue Cheng, "How is it? Is there anyone around?"

Xue Chengdao: "There are no homes in this area, and it's not far from the main road. If we go ashore from here, we can organize our team and go to Tongzhou quickly!"

Pan Lu nodded: "That's good. Tonight, Xuanfu, Wang Staff and others all arrived at the shore, which shows that they are paying attention. We have tested the crossing tonight, and it is estimated that we will attack Tongzhou within two or three days! Such a great achievement

, but it falls on us!”

Xue Chengdao: "What the supervisor said was that during the battle in Xijing, our army was in Shangzhou and missed it. We cannot let this battle go!"

The two men led their troops to patrol the banks of the Yellow River, extinguished the fires, got on the ferry again, and rowed back towards the way they came.

Early the next morning, Zhao Bin from Xinzhi Tongzhou got up early. After breakfast, he went to the government office to raise his account.

After calling the names, Zhao Bin said: "Wang Xiaolie has arrived at Hezhong Mansion in the past two days. You have to send people to pay close attention to his whereabouts! In the battle of Xijing, Wang Xiaolie was lucky enough to win against King Ba Lisu in Shaanzhou, and his arrogance was arrogant. Four

The prince concluded that Wang Xiaolie is very likely to attack Taiyuan Prefecture this autumn. If a big war breaks out, we can cross the Yellow River behind his army and block the way back. By then, if the generals use their lives, they may not be able to accomplish great feats!"

All the generals will say yes together.

Zhao Bin said: "Have there been any changes in Wang Xiaolie's army across from you in the past two days?"

General Meng Hai said: "Last night, someone said there was movement at the ferry. I wonder if Wang Xiaolie sent someone to cross the river."

Zhao Bin said: "This matter should not be taken lightly. We will send more manpower and patrol the ferry carefully these days. After the battle, Wang Xiaolie will be short of food even if he wants to come. We must guard the Yellow River tightly so that not even a single boat can cross it!"

All the generals will say yes together.

Zhao Bin asked some more miscellaneous questions and then ordered the account to be refunded.

After returning to Houya, Zhao Yan, the brother in charge of Jiyiwen in the army, came up and said to Zhao Bin: "Brother has been here for many days, but Zhang Zhongfu, who is in Jingzhao Mansion, has ignored Tongzhou and said nothing. Brother, I always feel that...

Not a good sign."

Zhao Bin sneered: "What's weird? Seeing Wang Xiaolie's victory in Shaanzhou, Zhang Zhongfu felt that the Jin people might not be reliable, so he just waited and watched. Humph, in the past few years, the Jin people have fought in the south and north without a single defeat! Shaanzhou suffered an occasional defeat.

Is there anything strange about setbacks? In my opinion, if Wang Xiaolie attacks Taiyuan this winter, he will suffer a heavy setback! At that time, Zhang Zhongfu knew that he was short-sighted! In the past few months, we have stepped up preparations and waited until the war began to cross the river to attack

Wang Xiaolie’s side will definitely make great achievements!”

Zhao Yan said: "Zhang Zhongfu has always been very shrewd. I think his actions must have profound meaning!"

Zhao Bin said: "Zhang Zhongfu is shrewd and comfortable, but his views on the current situation are unclear. Even if the fourth prince withdraws his troops from Shaanxi, is it possible that Zhang Jun can fight back? It's just an idiot's dream! Although Wang Xiaolie has many soldiers and horses,

Keep staring at Hedong Road. Isn't this our opportunity to make a contribution?

Zhao Yan sighed: "I hope my brother is right. Wang Xiao's great victory in hunting Shaanzhou really scared many people."

Zhao Bin said: "These people are afraid, so this is the time for me to make a contribution! If the Jin army is good, Wang Xiaolie attacks Taiyuan in the autumn, and we cross the river and cut off Wang Xiaolie's retreat, what a great contribution it will be!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Bin was so excited that he trembled all over.

If this thing is done, I must be the one with the greatest contribution among the generals who surrendered in Shaanxi. If the Jin army awarded me a reward, how could I be the same as now? At that time, I might have become the Shaanxi Five-Road Economic and Strategic Envoy, and Zhang Zhongfu would also have become my subordinate.

.

At the beginning, he surrendered together with the Zhang Zhongfu brothers. Later, the two brothers became more and more powerful, but his reputation was not prominent. After all, the two brothers were just Shaanxi generals and had made some achievements. If he could hit Wang Xiaolie hard,

If you have made great achievements, let’s see what the golden man will say.

After the establishment of the Puppet Qi, although the Jin people assigned Shaanxi to Liu Yu, the transportation between Liu Yu and Shaanxi was not smooth, and Shaanxi has always been relatively independent. Many of the generals in Shaanxi did not take Liu Yu seriously. Especially Wang Xiaolie suddenly and

This was especially true when Zhai Xing went on the Northern Expedition and captured Shaanzhou.

The withdrawal of Wu Shu from Shaanxi was a crisis in the eyes of others, but it was an opportunity in Zhao Bin's eyes. If you make contributions at this time, your future will be limitless.
