Chapter 91: A bolt from the blue, the river flows backwards

The Tiger and Leopard Pass at night seemed very deserted. Even the Tiger and Leopard Pass at dawn seemed very depressed, and the world was in chaos. It naturally had a great impact on the trade route.
Originally, the materials in Shu had to be communicated with each other through the Han River and Xiangyang, but with Huan Xuan's rebellion, Mao Yu, the prefect of Hanzhong who was loyal to the court, once again cut off the commercial waterways with Jingzhou.
Now there are 3,000 troops stationed here in Hubao Pass to prevent the Jingzhou army from entering. Also beware of the troops of the Later Qin Dynasty and entering this place.
At this time, Qiao Zong, the guard of Hubao Pass, was full of worries and patrolled the city.
The soldiers in the Tiger and Leopard Pass were also used to it, and this general himself did everything himself.
At this time, Qiao Zong naturally would not have thought that one day his own family would claim to be the King of Chengdu and even rule over Shu for nearly ten years.
His temperament has always been cautious. Although the Qiao family sounds a bit strange, it looks like the names of some mountain barbarians.
But in fact, the Qiao family was a wealthy family that had been thriving in Shu since the Western Zhou Dynasty. They came from the Western Zhou royal family.
Now he is under the command of Mao Ju, the prefect of Hanzhong, and can be regarded as a general who stands alone.
But he didn't know what to do. Over the past few days, he had been uneasy, as if something was about to happen. This made him really feel a little anxious.
He was a little worried about the situation in Shu, which was a homeland. Although the world was war-torn, the terrain in Shu was blocked, which was a rare peace. The war was much less than everywhere in the world.
However, now the relationship between his family, Mao Yu, the prefect of Shangguan Hanzhong, and Guo Quan, the governor of Yizhou, is becoming increasingly tense and even fighting each other.
Although Mao Yu was the army of the right general Huan Huo, he could be regarded as an old official of the Huan family.
However, the Mao family was unswervingly standing on the side of the Jiankang court. They were naturally incompatible with the Huan family's followers Guo Quan...
When Qiao Zong thought of this, he was very worried. He couldn't see the trend of the world clearly. Could it be that even Jiangzuo, which has been considered peaceful in recent years, would there be a war?
In this way, Shu will naturally be implicated...
Thinking of this, Qiao Zong sighed deeply.
Then Qiao Zong thought of the ridiculous dream he had that night!
Everything in the dream is so realistic that Qiao Zong can still remember it clearly at this time. Could it be that the general trend of the world really develop like this?
I would also be forced to become the King of Chengdu, and then I would be extremely cowardly and hang myself to death, and be regarded as a rebel.
But which one can he be loyal to now? The Eastern Jin court was controlled by Huan Xuan...
It's still really like the Taoist I saw in my dream that night...
All kinds of thoughts in my heart were ups and downs and fighting unstable. At this time, Qiao Zong suddenly heard someone beside him shouting: "What's the sound?"
Qiao Zong was stunned and could hear it clearly, as if it was the sound of water.
It rained heavily a few days ago, and there were flash floods nearby, and the water level seemed to have skyrocketed a little.
Qiao Zong thought, suddenly, his eyes completely condensed, and then an incredible expression spread quickly on his face.
"The river flows back..."
"How is it possible..."
The soldiers on the Tiger and Leopard Pass looked at it for no reason, and saw the Han River flowing backwards, surging and surging. They even caused layers of waves to overlap and over, and in a blink of an eye it had already flowed over.
"Oh my god, run away..."
In an instant, many people reacted, cried loudly and started to scream.
Such a torrent that goes upstream may not necessarily break the Tiger and Leopard Pass. But this scene is really too terrifying and makes everyone confused.
But at this time, a migrant army began to walk along the Han River towards the steep mountains and ridges upstream.
On the surface of the river, there were ships full of supplies, slowly heading upstream. The chaos on the tiger and leopard were clearly seen.
"The river water flows backwards. The river water flows backwards..." Qiao Zong murmured to himself, vaguely remembering the dream that night. The Taoist said: "When the river water flows backwards, it will be a bolt from the blue. But it is the moment when he meets the wise master, the true dragon!"
Could it be before your eyes...
Could this army be from Wudang County? It seems that eight out of ten are there.
But, didn’t Wudang County be heard that it has been occupied by mountain barbarians?
What a joke? Can those mountain barbarians who can build canoes at most build this centipede boat?
Standing above the city of Guancheng, looking out, I saw the fleet coming very quickly.
Especially the centipede ships at the beginning, the shape is extremely strange. The narrow and long hull can be seen at a glance that it is specially designed for the narrow waterway. The bow of the ship is even raised high and dark in color, and it seems to be cast from iron.
Especially at this moment, the water flow rushing up against the current was incredibly fast, and it was approaching within two miles in the blink of an eye.
"Boom..." There was a loud bang, and the valley was shaking and echoed continuously. It seemed as if there was a bolt from the blue.
Qiao Zong couldn't help but tremble all over his body, muttering to himself: "The river flows backwards, the river flows backwards... a bolt from the blue... these are really all..."
"Boom..." Thunderbolts kept ringing, and suddenly I just heard a click.
A corner of the city of Guancheng seemed to be hit by something. With a loud crackling, rocks flew away, sweeping away. Several defenders standing on Guancheng were shot by the gravel rubble and then screamed in a pool of blood.
At this time, Qiao Zong suddenly woke up in chaos and shouted: "Hurry up, raise the white flag, and we will surrender..."
This order was passed quickly, and at this time, the soldiers guarding the gate were so scared that they even had no intention of resisting.
Liu Shengzhi and dozens of ships easily captured the Tiger and Leopard Pass, which was known as the natural barrier.
When Liu Shengzhi stepped into the Tiger and Leopard Pass, the surrendered soldiers had already knelt all over the ground. When they saw Liu Shengzhi's figure, they all couldn't help but tremble all over.
"The criminal general Qiao Zong has seen the Heavenly Master..." Qiao Zong leaned his head deeply on the ground and said loudly.
"Tianshi?" Liu Shengzhi was slightly stunned.
"What if you can make the river flow back and get a bolt from the blue, but not the Heavenly Master?" Qiao Zong said loudly.
Liu Shengzhi laughed, stepped forward and helped Qiao Zong up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "This battle is not a crime of war. The general is exempted from courtesy. I want to take down Shu, so why should the general teach me?"
