"Did the enemies gather so quickly?"

Ma Liang looked at the warships coming and going on the river with a worried look on his face. Their location is now very awkward. They have been on the river all day long, and they have retreated to hide in the reed marsh by Dongting Lake.

"It seems that the enemy is gathering near Wulin and Chibi, so it's a bit difficult for us to cross the river!"

Ergouzi said helplessly, originally wanted to go back to Xiangyang while it was raining, but now the sudden gathering of the enemy made it very difficult for them to cross the river.

"What should we do now? It's not safe here. It's time for enemies to come and go, and it's only a matter of time before your Majesty can't come here in a short time."

Li Zhi also seemed very anxious, and it was very dangerous to move forward in such a distance from the enemy.

"It seems like I'm going to cross the river!"

Ergouzi hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind that staying here would be a death, so it would be better to fight.

"General Huang, according to your experience, has it rained recently?"

Ergouzi looked at Huang Zhong and asked. After a few days of getting along, he admired the old general very much. He had rich experience in marching and was very skilled in leading troops. The arrangement of things in the army was well organized, and the two thousand old soldiers were in a good state at present.

"It has been sunny for twenty days in a row. The morning glow appeared this morning. I think there will be heavy rain tonight or tomorrow, and it will be the kind that will last for a few days in a row!"

Huang Zhong returned to the scene and said that he had been observing the weather these days.

"Then let's wait for the heavy rain to cross the river immediately after the rain!"

Ergouzi nodded and said, they could no longer drag them. Huang Zhong left Changsha for only half a month to bring food. Now half of the army has passed, but the Yangtze River has not even passed. If the food and grass are exhausted, it will be really over.

At dusk, a sudden wind blew, and then dark clouds gradually floated from the sky. After it was dark, I couldn't see my five fingers.

"General, I'm afraid I can't leave tonight. I have to wait for dawn. This kind of night is too easy to get lost!"

Huang Zhong said to Ergouzi, the sky was gloomy and beyond imagination. If it weren't for the Yangtze River, it would be impossible to recognize it in the southeast, southwest and northwest. At this time, there was no difference between marching and walking forward with blindfolded eyes.

"General Huang is too worried, direction is not a problem!"

Ergouzi said with a smile.

This confidence made Huang Gai frown. Even a local person could not tell the direction. Where did the northerner in front of him get the confidence? Could it be that he was too young and too conceited?

"The old general looks at this? This is the compass developed by His Majesty. With this, you won't lose your direction. No matter how you move, he will point to the north and south direction!"

Ergouzi took out an exquisite compass.

"Compass? Is the legendary compass? Or Sinan?"

Huang Zhong is also knowledgeable, but he has never heard of such a compass. He has only heard of the Compass and Sinan, but he has only heard of it.

"The compass is too big and inaccurate, and Sinan is not convenient to carry. The compass has been improved!"

Ergouzi shook his head and adjusted the direction scale of the compass in his hand.

"It's really exquisite!"

Ma Liang looked at the compass in Ergouzi's hand with some envy. It was not an exaggeration to call this kind of thing a treasure.

After midnight, the drizzle began to drizzle. Ergouzi and Huang Zhong took the army to cross the river on a raft. In order to prevent people from getting separated, Huang Zhong asked the soldiers to connect the raft with ropes.

The night is the best cover, with a compass guiding the direction, Ergouzi leads the way directly in the front and marchs quickly. The enemy cannot go out at this time, and once he finds a camp with fire, he will bypass it early.

The rain drizzled all night, and after walking for half a night, the sky finally began to brighten.

"General Huang, can you confirm where we are?"

When Ergouzi saw that it was getting brighter, he asked Huang Zhongdao that he could see some outlines of the lake and woods through the faint light.

"Looking at the terrain, it seems like I'm near Mianyang. If I see it correctly, I should be 50 miles north to Mianyang City."

Huang Zhong pointed to the north and said, "The sky is getting bright and you can judge the direction by the bright light."

"Our raft cannot walk through the Han River, and Yunmengze is almost at its limit. Let's go northwest, where there is land."

Ergouzi nodded, he still has a memory of the terrain.

"But heavy rain will make the road surface muddy, and the footprints cannot be controlled."

Huang Zhong said, but he also mentioned the inconvenience caused by heavy rain. If it is discovered, it will not be able to get rid of it.

"Let's talk about it then. Let's hurry up before the enemy is aware of it."

Ergouzi nodded and said, "I can't care so much now. It's always dangerous to travel through the enemy-occupied area like this. The enemy should stay in the camp during this heavy rain."

After abandoning the raft, two thousand men marched northward. They were preparing to avoid the city and walk northward along the Han River fifty miles west of the Han River.

Dangyang.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The sound of war drums sounded, and Guan Yu stood in the martial arts field in the city wearing a straw raincoat and waited for the army to gather.

"General Guan, it rained heavily today, the temperature dropped sharply, and it was accompanied by rain and fog. Is there anything wrong with gathering the army?"

Jian Yong came to Guan Yu in a straw raincoat and asked, "Today's weather should be in the city."

"I want to stay in the city after a little bit of light rain? Continue on routine patrol today!"

Guan Yu glanced at Jian Yong. It was impossible for the real elite to affect military operations because of this change in weather.

"General Guan, the rain in Jingzhou should not be underestimated. If you get wet in the rain this season, you will be most likely to get cold."

Jian Yong knew Guan Yu's temper and said the same thing. He could only explain the pros and cons in detail. He hoped that Guan Yu could listen.

"Isn't there a straw raincoat? It's okay to put on a strawcoat!"

Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "It's not that he wants to take all the troops out." It's enough to take a thousand people on patrol territory."

"Are you all here?"

Guan Yu asked to the personal soldiers who counted the number of people.

"General, General Mi has not arrived yet!"

Personal soldiers reported.

"Where is Mi Fangren? The three-wheeled drum sound has been completed, and those who have not arrived have been engaged in military law!"

Guan Yu scolded fiercely.

"General, General Mi seems to be still in the mansion!"

The personal soldiers replied.

"Go and take him up!"

Guan Yu was even more angry when he heard this and asked his personal soldiers to get the people.

Not long after, Mi Fang was taken to the martial arts training ground by Guan Yu's personal soldiers.

"Let me go, what are you doing!"

Mi Fang shouted, he was still wearing pajamas, his hair was scattered, barefoot, and he looked like he had just been pulled from the bed.

"Mi Fang, do you know your guilt!"

Guan Yu was so angry that he could hardly suppress his anger when he saw Mi Fang.

"General Guan, what are you doing? Today it is raining heavily, why can I rest in the mansion?"

Mi Fang broke free from the soldiers and said to Guan Yu. The rain was still falling, and Mi Fang's clothes were wet. A chill came and made him tremble twice unconsciously.

"General, General Mi..."

The personal soldiers whispered a few words in Guan Yu's ear.

"Mi Fang, the sound of the three wheels of drums has not arrived. According to military law, you should be killed. Push it down and be killed!"

Guan Yu ordered in a cold voice. The personal soldiers just said that Mi Fang had recently found a beautiful local woman. When he arrived at the mansion, Mi Fang was still hugging the woman and snoring.

"General Guan, let General Mi spare this time!"
