Chapter 181 Crossing the River

Hearing this, Shen Hexi pulled back his body and lowered his head in thought. Seeing this, Kang Ning hurriedly asked: "Shen Shijun, is there anything suspicious about these people?"

"It doesn't seem like it at first glance, but the situation is very serious right now, so it's better to be cautious."

Kang Ning couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Shen Shijun is too careful. Just let these dozens of people in, and you are afraid that they will turn upside down? Look at them. If they are so pitiful and are ignored, who will be willing to sacrifice their lives for us in the future? I

Just take a look and put it in."

Shen Hexi was shocked when he heard this: "Supervisor, you must not be careless. If our army only has one city in Hebei, if it is lost, none of us can bear the responsibility."

Kang Ning laughed loudly when he heard this: "Shen Shijun is over-concerned. The rebel army is nothing more than a bunch of rabble. Even if they can take the Great Wolf Mountain, they may not dare to attack the river city. This matter is settled.

.”

"But..."

"Why, your Majesty, you are so pushy, do you want to disobey orders or have some other motives?" Kang Ning couldn't help but said impatiently at this time. Shen Hexi didn't care about disobeying orders, although the supervisory army has great power.

, but they are the same as him in terms of rank. In other words, the other party has no right to order him, but Shen Hexi is a little afraid to bear the accusations of ulterior motives. You must know that Emperor Wuping sent the supervisors because he was worried about frontline generals like them.

The army, so once the latter complains about this crime, the emperor will mostly believe them. There have even been cases where the supervisory army killed the frontline generals who were ahead of them, so now the generals are in danger of this. Now when they hear what Kang Ning said about Shen Hexi

I had no choice but to keep silent.

Finally, Tian Gui and others were let into the city, and Kang Ning personally received them with great enthusiasm, which made the people around him confused. In fact, Kang Ning had his own little plan for this move.

He came to the front line this time with the intention of being domineering, but Shen Hexi has always had many restrictions on him. Kang Ning was dissatisfied with this, not to mention that he had evil thoughts about Shen Hexi himself, but Shen Hexi had no choice but to hold the military power.

And Kang Ning only brought a few dozen soldiers this time, and he would undoubtedly be the one who would suffer the consequences if he openly turned against him. Therefore, Kang Ning has been thinking about expanding his power recently. On the one hand, he bribed the local defenders, and on the other hand, he also attacked the surrounding mountains.

idea.

This time, Tian Gui brought people here to play his part. On the one hand, he could expand his own strength, and on the other hand, he could win the hearts and minds of other people in the mountains. Therefore, Kang Ning entertained Tian Gui and others extremely attentively, and not only asked people to take them down.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, a banquet was arranged for the guests. Kang Ning and Shen Hexi accompanied them personally.

At first, the atmosphere of the banquet was good, but gradually Shen Hexi began to interrogate Tian Gui and others about the details of their escape and their movements against the rebels. His tone was completely like interrogating prisoners. Although Tian Gui responded fluently, he could not help but feel his back.

I kept breaking into a cold sweat, for fear of being asked about my flaws.

"Shen Shijun, why are you doing this? Brother Tian and the others have just escaped and are in shock, why do you bother to force each other like this? Today we only talk about Fengyue and don't ask about anything else." At this time, Kang Ning seemed to feel that Shen Hexi was not giving him face in this way.

, immediately changed the subject. Although Shen Hexi was unwilling to do so, it was not convenient to contradict Kang Ning on the spot and had to stop asking.

Tian Gui was a smart man and saw an opportunity to take advantage of it on the spot, so he frequently toasted to Kang Ning and told some dirty jokes that made Kang Ning laugh so hard.

Of course Shen Hexi was quite disgusted with this, but it was just an inconvenience that would displease Kang Ning. Secondly, she had been in the army for many years and had heard too many joking words, so she could bear it. Unexpectedly, Tian Gui and others gradually became the target of their jokes.

Then he turned to Shen Hexi and asked her to join him in punching and giving orders.

Of course, Shen Hexi understood that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, so he had to deal with it for a while, and finally got up and left on the pretext that he was too drunk. Although Kang Ning was a little dissatisfied with this, he did not dare to go too far, so he had to agree that Shen Hexi would leave.

The crowd became more unscrupulous, and the sound of laughter spread far and wide.

"I don't know how serious it is." Shen Hexi couldn't help but cursed in a low voice after leaving the venue. At this time, the rain still hadn't stopped, and the clouds were extremely low, as if they would crush the entire river city at any time.

After Shen Hexi left, she first went back to the room and stayed for a while. Due to the effect of alcohol, she really wanted to have a good sleep, but her sense of responsibility told her that she couldn't. Since the rebel army had captured Dalangshan, the next step would definitely be to cross the river, and the inland river was undoubtedly

He was their first choice, so Shen Hexi had no choice but to cheer up and lead two soldiers to patrol the city in the rain.

To be fair, the progress of the Lin family and his son's uprising was so fast that it even exceeded the expectations of the Dayou Army. This resulted in the Dayou Army having no troops to mobilize for the moment in the face of the fierce offensive of the opponent. Even the seven people in Neihe City

More than a hundred people were put together temporarily. Their military discipline was loose and their combat effectiveness was not strong. If Shen Hexi had not managed it well, these people would have been in chaos before the rebel army came to attack. For this reason, Shen Hexi did not dare to relax for a moment.

The most likely direction for the rebel army to attack is the north of the river, so Shen Hexi went to inspect the north gate first, and everything turned out to be normal. This made Shen Hexi feel more at ease. She began to wonder if she was too paranoid. Maybe Tian Gui and others

It was really just a lucky escape and he came to defect. Just when Shen Hexi was about to inspect the west gate, he suddenly heard a soldier shout: "Look, the east gate is on fire!"

Shen Hexi was startled when he heard this, and quickly looked in the direction of the soldier's finger. As expected, he saw the east gate with flickering fire, and faint shouts of killing could be heard. Shen Hexi suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly mobilized a team of people to rush to the scene.

As a result, they met the defeated troops on the way there. After asking, they found out that Tian Gui and others got Kang Ning drunk and stole his token. They used it to drive away the defenders and then opened the east gate to attack the rebels.

Entering the city, now the entire east city has fallen into the hands of the rebel army.

"Your Majesty, the inland river cannot be defended. Let's cross the river quickly before the dock falls into enemy hands." At this time, the soldiers couldn't help but say.

Shen Hexi's mood was extremely complicated at this time. On the one hand, her sense of honor as a soldier and aristocrat made her unwilling to be defeated like this, but on the other hand, her rationality told her that it was impossible to fight back in this situation. Shen Hexi weighed it again and again and finally had to sigh.

: "Order the entire army to withdraw to the dock and cross the river!"

After hearing what Shen Hexi said, the soldiers immediately took action, and they rushed to the South Gate Pier. At this time, the defeated soldiers and civilians had gathered there to snatch the ships, which actually slowed down the retreat.

A school captain pressed forward and shouted: "Let the soldiers cross the river first, and any civilians who dare to seize the boat will be shot to death!"

When Shen Hexi heard this, he immediately glared at him: "Nonsense, how could you do this?"

The captain looked aggrieved upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, I am doing this for the sake of the overall situation."

"Then you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Besides, they are still the people of Dayou right now. Just let the brothers drive them away. Don't hurt people indiscriminately!" Shen Hexi has no feelings for these ordinary people. After all, she has always regarded them as Bo.
