Book 22 Chapter 7 – A
Bai Wenyuan took a map, drawn on silk cloth, and spread it out on a makeshi+ft crude wooden table setup by the co and Xuan Yong immediately stooped down to exae spanning diagonally across theMountain Even the mountain roads are listed clearly This is the first ti’s sharp eyes caught a line of small characters on the corner of the map; he read, “Respectfullyis an expert in drawingto venerate”
Bai Wenyuan modestly declined, “It’s just a minor art handed down inwith ad usedbrush tip, otherwise, how could you draw such fine lines? Plus there areto the eye”
Slapping the table in praise, Kou Zhong said, “Theis that it won’t discolor; the inkthat his hand-painted map received so much appreciation, Bai Wenyuan’s mood was somewhat better; he cheerfully said, “All Zaixia’s ancestors were geography shui and Five-Element meticulously, therefore, since childhood I followedeverywhere to survey mountain and river terrain, and drew it for the record Only I’ve never thought that in the future it would find itself forHorse Ranch, there are at least a hundred different routes, plus we have Bai Xiong, who is fa the way What are we afraid of?”
S Mountain and several big rivers separating east and west, in reality there are only five routes in the interior of theMountain The worst part is that the setup of the sentry locations was all designed by Zaixia, no matter hoe try to conceal our track, it will be difficult to escape the opponent’s eyes and ears Ay! It’s allsaid, “If we do not go to the Flying Horse Ranch, but go straight to Yiling instead, what do you think?”
Bai Wenyuan dejectedly said, “That is worse Xiao Xian already ordered Dong Jingzhen, he knew froentle troops, therefore, there is a great possibility that you , hence they are already prepared to guard against this Further Jiang [Yangzte River]; it will beasked, “Does Bai Xiong know the route An Long and Zhu Mei took to return to Han’s interior?”
Bai Wenyuan’s pair of eyes flashed coldly, he also replied coldly, “Naturally via Chang Jiang; this way they won’t have to be afraid that Fu Gongyou reatly aroused, he asked, “How many shi+ps do they have?”
Bai Wenyuan replied, “Their fleet consists of ten wine-transporting shi+ps; we ca wine The fleet should still re to wait for the shi+pment of the rawfor An Long”
Kou Zhong laughed aloud and said, “This is called the Heaven is helping me Noeand that poisonous woman’s arrival, we’ll take possession on those ten wine-transporting shi+ps, and then we’ll execute the ‘secretly crossing the Wei Riber at Chencang’ stratage Yu], using the accepted the order and hurried out to notify the other generals
Emotionally moved, Bai Wenyuan said, “Shao Shuai, please uphold justice for Wenyuan”
Wrapping his ar, don’t worry What I am afraid of is that at that ti”
‘Pei!’ Bai Wenyuan spat, and spoke with a cold snort, “Even if that poisonous woman cut me up into ten thousand pieces, I will not knit halfZhu Mei is easy, but An Long’s martial art skill is no sht spoil our plan big ti nodded and said, “Hence weanywill not have any door from which he could escape”
Bai Wenyuan was silent for half a day; finally he shook his head and said, “My bad; there is no reason for you to risk your lives for me, it is also not worth it for me to take this risk for the sake of this cheap s1ut As soon as we get the shi+ps, ill head west ie, ten years is not too late Let An Long and that cheap s1ut fall into e troops behind them That can already hed and said, “Very well! In short, I, Kou Zhong, guarantee that I ipe Bai Xiong’s deep en on you to lead the way!”
Thistheir horses Bai Wenyuan flew up the horseback and said with a laugh, “As soon as I remeentle, Xuan Yong and Bai Wenyuan jumped down their horses, and flew up to the top of a hill Under the ht, about half a li down below they saw the rippling waves of the Yangtze River Moored on the crossing-dock were seven ht at all
“Thank Heaven and thank the Earth,” Kou Zhong said, “Bai Xiong is indeed a geographical expert, so we can catch up ahead of that pair of dog man and woman But why seven shi+ps instead of ten?”
Bai Wenyuan shook his head and said, “I am not sure Perhaps the other three are on anotherasked
“All of the’s men,” Bai Wenyuan replied, “We must kill the’s eyebroere i hastily said, “That is too cruel and heartless; as long as we can capture them all alive, we can set them free in some deserted riverbank Even if they wanted to, it would be difficult for theeons will be faster than we are”
Stunned, Bai Wenyuan said, “Shao Shuai’s style of work is certainly entirely different fro to console hient thing is to survey what’s ahead of us”
Turning to Kou Zhong, he said, “At the Yellow River, several times has subordinate led my men to attack enemy shi+ps moored on the riverbank Shao Shuai only need to set the ti will be executed properly”
“Thissaid, “We seize the shi+ps and capture thewell-prepared to beat ill-prepared Pure and sihost or a de and hisbehind a pile of rocks by the shore, “The shi+p’s defense is sloppy and ordinary; each shi+p has about a dozen sailors If we uarantee that ill be able to capture everybody in one net”
Kou Zhong signaled Xuan Yong, who had been waiting by his side, to roups consisted of seven hundred round, responded by going into the water, and then withoutany noise they swa sent out another signal, Bai Wenyuan, leading more than four hundred men cavalry, responded Froalloped doard the crossing dock
The dense sound of hoof beat broke the serenity of the late-night riverbank, co water
Lights immediately appeared on the moored shi+ps Shadows flickered and flashed, all attention was at Bai Wenyuan and the alloped out of the formation and shouted, “Summon everybody immediately, prepare to set sail!”
So onboard! What about Da Laoban [big boss]?”
Bai Wenyuan cried out, “Da Laoban is here, but Jiang Huai Ar troops are behind hi troops’, the men on board immediately panicked They set down the plank, raised the sail, and set sail in confusion
Kou Zhong whispered in Xu Ziling’s ear, “Success! It’s our turn now”
‘Creak! Creak!’
Kou Zhong pushed the door and entered; he said to Xu Ziling, as sitting up from the bed, “Wake up!”
“Did you have tosaid in displeasure
Kou Zhong sat on the edge of the bed, stretching out in exaggerated movement, and said, “I also fell asleep and was out cold Look! The sun is at least four-pole high!”
Xu Ziling deeply felt the sa the army in military expedition is not what a wise man would do The two of us already ht when I went to bed, I still feel like all the bones inlooked out theat the ht and beautiful sunshi+ne He said, “This ti into Bai Wenyuan If not, it would not be different than walking right into the trap Noe are disguising ourselves as An Long’s fleet transporting raw enuine-goods-at-fair-prices Garuda Ar in to direct the operation Do you think there is still any flaw?”
Muttering to hi and Zhu Mei arrived at the crossing dock and found out that the seven shi+ps have gone hed and said, “Naturally they would indulge in flights of fancy; but they would never find half a hoof print on the ground, because ept it away Therefore, they would never think to associate Bai Wenyuan with us; they huai Navy arrived and captured their men and shi+ps, or perhaps they had scared his men off that his wine boat slipped away”
“Where did the other three shi+ps go?” Xu Ziling wondered
