More than a dozen large ships were sailing steadily on the river.

Yuwen Heng's army was not good at water battles, but the troops stationed on the river bank had been confronting the other side for many years. They had many exercises on weekdays and were familiar with water and could even row boats.

In particular, Gu Youyi remembered Gu Qing's strategy in her previous life. She recruited many young and strong men in the fishing village by the river and had them train with the regular soldiers.

A large number of local fishermen were selected to help cross the river this time.

Anyway, it's not a naval battle on the river. We just need to sail the boat across and dock, and the Southern Dynasty's troops will no longer be a threat.

When the big ship was sailing, everything went smoothly at the beginning.

Including Yuwen Heng, most of the soldiers were not used to it.

No matter how steady a boat is, it is still drifting on the water.

What you step on is not solid ground, but the ups and downs of nothingness, which always makes people feel uneasy.

There were also some soldiers who were riding a boat for the first time. They were so frightened by the sparkling water that they felt dizzy and dazzled. They tried to hold it in, but in the end they couldn't help it and started vomiting.

Gu Youyi: ...How useless! A group of grown men actually get seasick?

However, fortunately, they only had to cross the river, and they would be able to rush across in another half hour.

"Attention! The other side is moving out!"

Yuwen Heng was not as optimistic as Gu Youyi.

The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were indeed not as strong as those of the Northern Dynasty, but they were not made of paper.

Seeing a large number of troops crossing the river in a powerful manner, they would never sit idly by and wait for death.

Sure enough, as the river became more and more lively, the military camps on the other side of the river also began to mobilize.

"Be careful! Be careful not to let them go into the water!"

Yuwen Heng gripped the scimitar at his waist tightly and watched the other party's movements closely.

He was not afraid of fighting the enemy face to face, but the battle could not take place on the water.

Naval warfare is really our weak point.

Yuwen Heng ordered someone to bring his bow and arrow. He was ready. As long as the enemy dared to board the ship, he would be the first to shoot down the enemy's flag.

Once the general's flag falls, the army's morale will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, if we speed up our crossing of the river, we should be able to -

"Huh? They're just standing in formation? They're not actively engaging the enemy?"

Yuwen Heng was extremely nervous, and the guards around him were also facing a serious enemy.

However, the movements on the other side of the strait left him completely baffled.

Could it be that the enemy knew they were no match for the Iron Cavalry and gave up even the slightest resistance?

It shouldn't be!

Even if the person guarding the military camp opposite was not Chen Duan but a woman, the military camp was not full of women.

Besides, the third wife of the Gu family is not an ordinary woman.

Yuwen Heng had never seen this girl, but he and the Gu family were old friends.

In the past eight or nine years, he had heard the name of Gu's third wife from many people in the Gu family.

It was also thanks to Gu Sanniang that the Gu family was able to gain a foothold in the Northern Dynasty.

...In fact, even if you don’t know Gu Qingcheng’s many military achievements, just looking at the Gu family, who would rather take the risk of fleeing the Northern Dynasty and returning to Lingnan, you will know that Gu Sanniang is no ordinary person.

The Gu family chose the former between their two daughters, Gu Sanniang and Gu Siniang.

This is quite interesting to ponder.

Gu Si Niang is indeed not particularly smart, but she is lucky and God is on her side.

She can always accurately predict the future and is definitely a favorite of God.

Moreover, Gu Si Niang has already married into the Yuwen family. Her foresight + the Yuwen family's troops, plus the strategy of the young master of the Gu family, is simply a winning combination.

The Gu family could easily become the first foreign relative of the Northern Dynasty, with high power and lasting wealth.

As a result, the Gu family easily gave up such a good situation for Gu Sanniang.

Gu Yi and Gu Ji are definitely not fools. There is only one reason for this: Gu Sanniang has unlimited potential and can bring more and higher power and glory to the Gu family.

"What on earth is the Gu family thinking?"

"Well, even if Chen Duan has ascended the throne and become the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, the position of empress may not necessarily belong to the daughter of the Gu family."

Gu Sanniang and Chen Duan were just an engaged couple, not a legitimate wife.

Even if the wife was the original wife, there are examples in history of wives being demoted to concubines.

"Even a reckless man like me can think of this problem, how could Gu Sanniang, chosen by the Gu family, not think of it?"

Yuwen Heng didn’t really trust Gu Qingcheng, but he believed in the vision of Gu Yi and Gu Ji, the two old foxes.

They won't choose the wrong person.

His feet were slightly moving up and down. In order to distract himself and avoid the pain of "seasickness", Yuwen Heng began to guess what Gu Qingcheng was thinking.

He muttered to himself, he was puzzled.

Gu Youyi, who was standing next to Yuwen Heng, vaguely heard some of his words.

"Gu Qing? Gu Qing!"

"Even though they haven't even met, why is Ah Heng still obsessed with Gu Qing?"

"...This time, the person standing next to you is me, Gu Youyi, not that ugly Gu Qing!"

Gu Youyi was secretly angry, but did not dare to show it.

She boasted that she and Yuwen Heng were childhood sweethearts and had a very deep relationship.

However, she always had a feeling that she had never really entered Yuwen Heng's heart.

It wasn't just intuition, but also Gu Youyi's guilty conscience—

Yuwen Heng and Gu Qing have been married for decades.

They may not have such a strong love, but they trust each other, know each other and stay together.

In her previous life, Gu Youyi had witnessed how the two of them got along with each other.

Tacit understanding, very good tacit understanding.

There is no need for too many words, just a look from each other is enough to make the other person understand.
