Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 648
From Lanzhou to Xingqingfu, the nearly thousand-mile section of the river meanders northward, rushing to the mountains and crashing into the cliffs, twists and turns, creating dangerous canyons among the reefs and cliffs.

Fortunately, these boatmen have always been used to fighting turbulent waves, and Zhang Liang offered a plan to tie all the rafts in one place, which is not only difficult to overturn, but also has the experience and strength of multiple boatmen. limited.

Halfway through the voyage, the Yellow River entered the territory of Lizhou, and the once-slow flow began to speed up.

All the boatmen, no matter those who have been here personally, or those who have only heard about the danger, all became nervous.

Zhang Liang also told the old Cao: "Master, in front of you is the Heishan Gorge, which is sixty to seventy miles long. It is the longest gorge in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. After crossing, the subsequent journey will be worry-free."

An old boatman next to him sighed and said: "I want to teach the general to know that there are many dangerous shoals in this canyon. This is where the fate lies, I don’t know how many rafters were buried here, and the wronged souls can’t escape.”

Another boatman sighed bitterly: "There are also Barriers, Wulongxuan, Yinyangbie, Gaoyajie... Well, I don't know how many lives were lost to gain such a vicious reputation." .”

Hearing what they said seriously, Lao Cao immediately stood up, this stop——

It shows the benefits of being short!

One must know that this leather raft floats swayingly on the water, following the ups and downs of the waves, if it is a long man, without more than ten years of horse gait, it will never be able to stand firm.

However, Lao Cao's standing is as stable as a rock, just like sitting upright.

Several boatmen and rafters saw it in their eyes, but they dared not speak out, and cheered in their hearts: "Hey! This short man is so solid, but it's a pity that he is a conscript, otherwise he is not a born rafter?

Lao Cao looked at the entrance of the canyon, but saw the turbid stream under his feet, forcibly hewing a river channel between the cliffs.

The cliffs on both sides of the river are more than a hundred feet high, and they are sharp and steep like knives.

The river was bounded by the cliffs on both sides, narrowed from wide, and the flow rate increased sharply.

If it's just a fast flow, it's fine, but it's not a straight road.

According to what Zhang Liang said, there were more than ten turns in the canyon of sixty or seventy miles, such as the sharp turn that was almost a direct U-turn.

As for the other bends in the river, there are countless, and the detours and twists in them are like entering the intestines of sheep.

The raft was supported by the rapids below, which made people dizzy from east to west.There are also hidden reefs hidden under the river surface, which are hard to see with human eyes, but they will turn over when touched, which is really extremely thrilling.

Hu Sanniang was terrified when she heard this, and was about to get up to take a closer look, but was held down by Lao Cao, and shouted: "Silly woman, you have two long legs like egrets, you will fall when you stand up, and you will fall if you fall in such a rapid current." Shen Bo, who can save me? Isn't it just a matter of taking advantage of my husband! And sit down obediently."

Sanniang's face turned red, and she didn't dare to move any more. She sat firmly in the middle of the raft, lowered her body, and stretched out her hand to hold the bamboo and wood covering the sheepskin and cowhide tubes.

The rest of the people are also in the same posture, each one is cautious and trembling.

Not to mention people, even horses, seemed to sense the danger at the moment, trembling and trembling, usually standing up while sleeping, but at this moment they all knelt down, awed by this dangerous place created by heaven and earth.

At that time, the old boatman saw that everyone was frightened, so he took the opportunity to persuade: "General, if you want to land at this time, there is still time. When you enter the canyon, you will lose even the shore."

Lao Cao laughed loudly, pointed forward, and shouted: "Don't try to persuade me, just move forward! You must remember that life and death have their own destiny. How can misfortunes and blessings be caused by people? Let's go, let's go!"

Those boatmen didn't dare to persuade them any more, they squatted down slightly, their eyes were round and their muscles were bulging, they desperately held the long poles in their hands, and they used all their means to struggle to survive in this Black Mountain Gorge.

Cao Cao didn't expect that this section of the Yellow River was so dangerous!Knowing in his heart that everyone must be terrified, on a whim, he simply urged Zhang Liang to put the raft under his feet in the first place, and was the first to rush into the canyon.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the raft entered the canyon, the speed of the water suddenly increased, it was faster than a galloping horse, but it also rose and fell with the waves, and there was even a long wind blowing the waves, hitting them head-on, everyone couldn't help squinting their eyes and turning their heads. The waves splashed on everyone like rain, and in a short while, everyone was soaked. .
Those who were more timid couldn't help shouting.

It's just that it's fast, it's all right, the most amazing thing is to meet the turning point of the river, and the rafts under the feet are carrying people, like crazy, flying head-on towards the cliff. .
Seeing the black and swarthy cliff approaching, even Lao Cao is so courageous, his hairs stand on end, his throat and heart are full of cold air.

At this time, every life on the raft will depend entirely on the long poles of the boatmen!

The boatmen shouted in unison, and they pulled out their poles in unison, or pushing, or pulling, every time at the critical moment, they supported the raft to turn downstream.

After a few bends like this, Lao Cao heard crying and shouting behind him, which rose up to the sky, mixed with the deafening sound of the waves, which was extremely frightening.

Shi Qian looked back, because the river turned sharply, his sight was covered by the cliff, and he never saw what was going on behind him, but there were shouts, obviously more than one group of rafts capsized.

Old Cao shouted: "Don't look at it! The real danger of our expedition is not the Xixia defenders, but the Yellow River at our feet! Some damage is inevitable, everyone is in peace!"

After traveling so fast for more than ten miles, the situation became more and more dangerous!
I saw that the river channel under my feet became narrower and narrower, and the narrowest part was even less than three or four zhang. The originally turbid waves turned into rolling white waves at this moment, and the steep and steep cliffs at the two descents even obscured the skylight.

As the boat sailed so far, I couldn't even hear the crying, and the sound of the waves was like a huge thunder. After listening to it for a long time, my mind would be confused.

What I saw in my eyes was the rushing torrent, hideous strange rocks, and a gloomy scene. Even the boldest people can't help but be terrified at this point.

Lian Jiao stood up to such villains.At this moment, he couldn't help trembling, put his arms around Shi Qian, and howled: "Oh, brother, does this Yellow River lead directly to the Yellow Spring? If it weren't for hell, how could there be such a bad scene?"

On the contrary, Shi Qian was much calmer than him. Although his face was also pale, he was a bold artist after all. While comforting Jiao Ting, he broke away from his embrace and reached out to hold the sickle in his waist. His eyes were shining brightly. The grandson glanced around like a monkey.

But he made a good plan in his heart: if there is really a mistake, he will fly out the lock and hook the stone, and with this lightness kung fu, he will swear to keep his brother to the death. …

Jiao Ting is still so frightened, even if "Yizhangqing" is a hero in the female middle school, how could he be better than him?

Poor girl, dizzy and dizzy for a long time, with a face of peach blossom flour, she turned pale at this moment, held Cao Cao's hand tightly, and said with tears: "You and I shouldn't be on the same raft. If this raft capsizes, my son Didn't they lose their parents at the same time?"

Lao Cao shouted: "Fart! What are you talking about, mother-in-law? I am dead, and my teacher is waiting at home. Don't you dare to deny my son? Who dares to think of dross? My brother Wu Er is here, how can he just sit and watch?"

He usually got along with his wives, most of them were gentle and amiable, and he rarely got angry, let alone scolded.

It's just that he is in extreme danger at this moment, and it's hard to get out for a long time. Rao is the overlord of a generation, and his mood is a little bit lost. Trembling, the tears fell down like raindrops, but she was afraid of offending Lao Cao again by crying out loud, so she just blocked Ying's mouth with a small fist, feeling aggrieved, and dared not say a word.

Seeing her pitiful expression, Lao Cao was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered the benefits of Hu Sanniang. As a mother, she was only reluctant to part with herself, and she was willing to leave her son behind, and she wanted to travel thousands of miles with him. At this moment, although she was still young and beautiful , compared to the beginning, but it is unavoidable to add a few winds and frosts.

With a twist of his heart, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he hugged her head, leaned against his chest, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, I shouldn't be angry at you. But you don't have to think about it, if others don't know me, don't you know it too? If heaven and earth are willing to kill me, why let me awaken my previous life? My husband and wife are in the same boat, and we will naturally overcome danger."

When Hu Sanniang thought about it, it really made sense!

How can a person like Lao Cao be in such a place?
God awakened his memory, could it be that he is willing to send him away so gently?
He couldn't help stretching out his hand, hugged Lao Cao tightly, and pressed his face tightly against him.

Seeing it, Shi Qian couldn't help feeling anxious: Oh, the two of them are hugging each other, how can I have the strength to hold them together?

Just floating around like this, I don't know how long it had passed, suddenly his eyes lit up, and Shi Qian was the first to shout: "Okay! Come out!"

Lao Cao followed his prestige, and at some point, the water flow slowed down, and the mountains and gorge on both sides gradually opened up. Even on the river beach in the distance, lush forests and rich grass can be seen, and there are tall waterwheels turning leisurely.

Lao Cao was certain in his heart, and laughed loudly: "Brothers, we have also overcome such a dangerous situation, and Xixia will be destroyed!"

Zhang Liang and the other boatmen looked at the scenery in disbelief, couldn't help but smile, and then sat down limply, letting the raft slowly and slowly along the widening river drift.

After drifting out for a while, Lao Cao looked back, and in the dark canyon, large and small rafts floated out one after another, and he didn't know who started it. The cheers rose loudly, startling the birds on the shore , They flew high one after another.

Lao Cao listened for a moment, heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled with Shi Qian: "Forget it! Listening to the momentum, most people are fine. Fortunately, it is a raft. If it is a wooden boat, it may be more than half damaged. No wonder Li Xian is timid."

Immediately, he called Zhang Liang: "Let's quit your hard work, and find a gentle place to land quickly. I want to see if all the brothers are safe."

Shi Qian said with a smile: "My brother is destined to do great things. Naturally, it is auspicious. If we are brothers, if we want to follow my brother to do things, there will be no danger."

An hour later, one after another, the rafts leaned against the shore one after another.

This is exactly: huge waves and high cliffs roll with anger, and the heavenly soldiers come out of Lanzhou in anger.Guanshan Feidu is unpredictable, and the beacon smoke in the northwest should not stop!
