Fengcheng is located in the land of Yanzhao, where the four seasons are quite distinct, spring flowers, summer rain, autumn moon and winter snow can be seen one by one.It's just that not everyone can bear the distinct characteristics of the four seasons. Besides, there are many soldiers in Xia Heyu's army who have lived in the southeast since childhood.

Fengcheng is warm in spring, but there are many strong winds and sand, blowing layer by layer, covering the sky; summer is hot, but it often catches up with the torrential rain of lightning, thunder and thunder; autumn is cool, but it is full of chills. , Disturbing people feel uncomfortable; Snow in winter is often a vast sea and a dry wall, hundreds of feet of ice, and the road will be dead before the deep winter.

It was summer when Xia Heyu's army was marching, and it seemed that Xia Heyu had caught up with the torrential rain throughout the summer.The sky seems to be torn open by someone, and all the water of the Tianhe River is poured into the world.

The entire army, down to ordinary soldiers, up to Xia Heyu and others, were all drowned like a drowned rat.When the heavy rain came, the rivers swelled like sea water, the roads were blocked, and the army had to stand still.

Xia Heyu frowned tightly, and paced up and down in the military tent in a state of distraught. The rain was hitting the top of the military tent in a disorderly manner, mixed with the rubbing sound of Xia Heyu's clothes, which made people feel even more uncomfortable.

A trembling soldier was kneeling inside the military tent. Xia Heyu had sent him to lead a small group of troops to explore the road ahead. How could this soldier have brought the whole army to such a place: the road collapsed behind and the river ahead Cut off, the army was blocked between the two, unable to advance or retreat.

"This subordinate is guilty, but this subordinate is incompetent. Please punish me, the general." The soldier kneeling on the ground said in a trembling voice.

"What's the use of me punishing you!" Xia Heyu yelled, "If punishing you can get us out of this predicament, can I not punish you?"

The soldier had never seen Xia Heyu lose his temper before, and he was frightened immediately, and said in a crying voice, "General, my subordinates really didn't expect such heavy rain."

"Okay." Xia Heyu waved his sleeves and said impatiently, "I'll ask you, how long will it take for the river to recede?"

"The fastest, the fastest is probably ten...ten days and a half months. If the rain keeps falling, it may take three... three or two months." The soldier was stunned. Baba said shaking his body.

Xia Heyu clenched his fists. If he was really trapped for three or two months, not to mention the situation in Fengcheng, the food he brought this time would not be enough. Moreover, it was raining heavily, and some of the food was moldy due to improper storage and could not be used. Yes, at that time, I was afraid that my team would be trapped here before the rain stopped.

"Don't blame him for now." In the corner of the tent, Jiang Linyuan put down a map and said, "This year's rain is indeed so heavy that it has rarely been seen in several years. Who can predict it accurately?"

Zhang Ling also echoed from the side: "Yes, General Xia, we are all trapped here anyway, let's find a way to get out first."

Xia Heyu held his forehead and took a breath, then regained some reason, and continued to ask the soldier kneeling on the ground: "Let me ask you again, how deep is the deepest part of the broken river in front of you?"

"Back to the general, the deepest part reached a person's waist." The soldier replied.

"Are you sure it's at the waist? If you make a mistake and affect the army's advance, I will never let you go lightly this time." Xia Heyu said.

The soldier almost knocked his head three times at this time, and said, "This time, I really dare not be careless. That subordinate He went down a few hours ago in person, and led the branches to the center, and it was indeed up to the waist." .”

Xia Heyu let out a long breath, waved his hands and said to him, "Okay, you go out first, and I will settle the score with you later."

The soldier gave Xia and Yu a deep bow, and hurriedly rolled and crawled out of the tent.

"General, why are you asking about the depth of water?" Zhang Ling asked after the soldier left the tent.

"I want to lead the whole army across the river." Xia Heyu said calmly.

"Walking across the river!?" Zhang Ling exclaimed in surprise, and quickly turned to Jiang Linyuan, "Young Master Jiang, can you persuade General Xia, the river is so fast that if you wade across it on foot, how much suffering will the entire army have to suffer?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Linyuan seemed to have known that Xia Heyu would make such a decision, without the slightest turmoil on his face, and explained to Zhang Ling: "Either suffer the crime and go over there, or be trapped here to die, Deputy General Zhang, which one do you think is better?" a little better?"

Zhang Ling bit the corner of his lips and still hesitated in his eyes, but Yuan Wendong, who had been silent on the side, suddenly coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "General, let me take a group of people and try it first. No, think of another way."

"No!" Xia Heyu said resolutely, "At least you can't go. You are not in good health these few days, so don't take this risk for me."

"I'm fine." Yuan Wendong suppressed the urge to cough forcefully in his chest, and said as calmly as possible, "It's just that I got some typhoid fever from the rain. What is this minor illness?"

Although Yuan Wendong said so, the paleness on his face made Xia Heyu unconvincing, so Xia Heyu said: "If I say no, I won't, so don't try to be brave with me, follow the team and walk slowly. Getting well from illness is better than anything else.”

"General, let me take the lead. Wen Dong took the lead in these two expeditions, and it's not my turn yet." Zhang Ling continued.

"You cut it off for me." Xia Heyu said, "Didn't Xiaosha always obey your orders, you go and help him transport the grain and grass to the other side of the river, and don't make any mistakes."

When Zhang Ling heard Xia Heyu mention Xiaosha, his face blushed a little, then he nodded and said, "Understood. Then, then, are you going to take the lead, General?"

Xia Heyu nodded, glanced at Jiang Linyuan, and got a positive look.

After all these decisions were made, Xia Heyu decided to set off immediately, because if there was any further delay, the river might not be as simple as being waist-deep.

In fact, strictly speaking, the river in front of Xia Heyu's army cannot be regarded as a river in the strict sense, but a rain river formed by the confluence of surrounding water because of the low terrain.The river water is covered with sand and muddy yellow, and the depth of the river cannot be seen clearly at all.

Standing on the bank of the river, Xia Heyu stepped into the river first in front of the entire army.The water in the river was a bit cold, and the shoes and socks were wet in an instant, and the coolness slowly climbed up, making Xia Heyu shiver in the middle of the summer.

Xia Heyu was about to take a step forward, but another person grabbed his sleeve. Xia Heyu didn't even look back, but said, "Follow the rear."

"No." Jiang Linyuan said coldly, "I'll follow you."

Xia Heyu paused in silence for a moment, knowing that he could not persuade Jiang Linyuan, he said, "That's fine, but you are not allowed to leave me even one step."

In this way, Xia Heyu and Jiang Linyuan, together with several of Xia Heyu's personal guards, went across the river first.The river was fast and cold, and several people pulled each other, so they were not washed away by the river in the middle of the river. The bottom of the river was sticky and uneven, but fortunately, the river was not too deep, and they managed to wade through after stumbling.

The next soldiers in the army saw that Xia Heyu crossed the river smoothly, and they all followed suit. Several people pulled each other, and they finally crossed the river smoothly.

At the end of the team, Zhang Ling led a group of people, carrying bags of grain and grass, and crossing the river tied with each other with rattan.

After the last person in the army crossed the river, it was already more than half a day. Fortunately, no soldiers were damaged this time, but everyone in the army was soaked through, and then they were hit by the rain. However, it is quite cold.

Xia Heyu put a thin cloak on Jiang Linyuan's body, and turned around to find Yuan Wendong leading his cavalry to the front of the team again.

"Wen Dong is too impatient. I told him many times to follow the team first, and there is no need to fight so hard." Xia Heyu said to Jiang Linyuan, twisting the water on his sleeve.

"It's better to have him to explore the way ahead, it's better than the few soldiers you sent out, but you have to talk about him so that he doesn't get too tired, after all, he still has a cold." Jiang Linyuan said.

Xia Heyu nodded, suddenly felt a batch of water hit his leg, and when he lowered his head, he saw the little wolf throwing the water at him.

"Why is this beast still here? How did it come here?" Xia Heyu frowned, "I thought I could get rid of this beast."

Jiang Linyuan smiled and said: "It's very sharp. It came over on Yuan Wendong's horse, but it fell off when it was almost reaching the shore, and it was covered in water."

"Little evil." Xia Heyu rolled his eyes at the little wolf, and then commanded the whole army to follow Yuan Wendong's army. This time, he had to camp carefully to rest.

The rain was still falling, but it was a little lighter, and the sky was still gloomy, with continuous blue-gray clouds spreading in the sky layer by layer, pressing down low, which was disturbing to see.

After crossing the river, there is a relatively open plain in front of it. There are a few thatched houses that have been watered down on the plain. Seeing that the sky is getting dark, Xia Heyu plans to camp and rest here first. After all, Fengcheng is not far from here. Not far away, let the soldiers change their wet clothes before moving forward.

Xia Heyu thought so, so he called a soldier beside him, and said to him, "Go ahead and tell Deputy General Yuan, and say that you don't need to go forward, and set up camp here today."

"Yes." The soldier clapped his hands in response, trotting all the way to Yuan Wendong, came to the side of Yuan Wendong's horse, and said: "Vice General Yuan, General Xia ordered you not to go any further. Set up camp here first."

Yuan Wendong was riding on the horse, still wearing his black cloak, coughed heavily before turning his head and saying to the soldier: "I see." After speaking, he raised his left hand and made a stop gesture. The cavalry stopped in an orderly manner, and when the personal soldier saw this, he trotted all the way back and returned to his command.

Yuan Wendong stretched out the silver spear in his hand, with the tip of the spear pointing down, he inserted it fiercely into the wet ground, resting on the butt of the spear with his right hand, he looked up quietly in the direction of Fengcheng.
