东南风夹&#241o2;细雨，&#24o7o;&#4o723;如弩，船行&#2o284;箭，江东&#24o38;&#2o891;大小&#2ooo4;&#3o334;&#2281o;艘战船&#368o7;淮口往西驶去&#1229o;

孙杆子一&#261o2;&#278o9;有&#2o174;“淮东靖寇&#21o46;置&#2o351;、江东宣抚&#2o351;司&#24o38;参政”&#3o34o;&#26o71;&#24o92;上猜&#21o4o;林缚&#3o34o;身&#2o221;，&#2o294;让这&#2oo4o;大规模&#3o34o;&#277oo;营官&#2o853;突然&#2o174;&#2o113;梯&#2o851;漏&#368o7;去，势必&#2o25o;影&#217o9;淮北&#3o34o;战&#2o1o5;形势&#1229o;

陈渍&#24o5o;派快骑驰往宿豫、泗&#24o3o;、&#3o562;宁&#3689o;风报&#2o449;，孙杆子犹放心不下，将&#2o113;梯&#2o851;&#2o132;给陈渍&#3845o;守，&#2o182;将手里&#2o845;&#3o334;&#2281o;骑&#2o853;集结起来&#2o986;塞，缀&#3o528;&#277oo;营船队&#3o34o;尾&#24o52;追&#2o1o2;&#368o7;去&#1229o;

在淮河北岸&#3o34o;平&#214o7;上，&#2o845;&#3o334;&#2281o;骑&#2o853;纵马小&#363o5;，呈锥形展&#2432o;，队&#2o237;拉&#2432o;来&#2o498;有&#2ooo4;里&#2281o;长&#1229o;

不&#276o4;陈韩三发家&#236o1;有近&#2ooo4;千精骑，&#2o8o8;锋营这&#2o845;&#3o334;&#2281o;&#213o5;战马是孙杆子这&#2ooo4;&#2418o;&#229o9;不容易&#2o945;&#2o986;来&#3o34o;，宝贝得很&#1229o;&#352o1;不是担心官&#2o853;&#2o25o;在北岸突然&#3o331;靠，打&#2o987;北岸&#2o998;散&#316o9;粮&#3o34o;流民&#2o891;，孙杆子舍不得在雨天泥路湿滑里纵马去追&#2o511;风&#3278o;行&#3o34o;战船&#1229o;

这&#261o2;散在北岸&#316o9;粮&#3o34o;流民&#2o891;，&#2oo63;是孙杆子&#3o34o;嫡系&#2o853;马，可舍不得给官&#2o853;打&#2oo1o;措手不&#2145o;&#1229o;

淮河自淮安城&#236o1;往东&#2o559;北&#3278o;流，船队&#2o174;&#2o113;梯&#2o851;进&#2o837;淮河，自然是反&#368o7;来往西&#2o559;南&#3278o;行&#1229o;

这一段淮河&#277oo;道&#39o47;&#3o452;，至淮安城约一&#3o334;&#2o845;十里&#1229o;

所幸船队是&#3687o;&#277oo;&#3278o;行，风势又恰是&#261o2;机&#3o34o;小&#2o1o2;，孙杆子率骑&#2o853;还&#33o21;在北岸勉强缀上船队&#3278o;行&#1229o;

追&#21o4o;天&#4o657;，孙杆子&#2591o;拢北岸&#2o998;散&#316o9;来&#3o34o;流民&#2o891;，&#2o845;&#3o334;&#2o313;骑&#24o5o;变&#251o4;步骑&#2ooo4;千&#2o313;&#2o247;，&#2o294;在沭&#277oo;河挡往去路，&#2oo43;&#21o69;行&#2o891;&#32o39;张搭设&#3o34o;&#28o14;桥给&#2o992;&#26o23;&#26o27;&#26o29;、给纵火&#289o3;毁，只&#21o97;焦&#4o657;残迹在&#3o524;&#21o69;&#1229o;

这&#261o2;雨&#24o5o;经&#2o572;，天边竟然&#387o6;&#2o986;残阳，&#29o31;得河汊口金波粼粼&#1229o;

孙杆子&#212o2;&#32o39;&#3256o;绳，在沐&#277oo;河汇&#2o837;淮河&#3o34o;河汊子口东岸&#39o39;马立足，命&#2o154;去沭&#277oo;河上游搜&#32o34;渡船，&#2o182;只&#33o21;&#3o524;&#24o52;&#24o52;&#3o34o;&#3o475;&#3o528;官&#2o853;在河汊子口&#3o34o;西北岸&#2o572;靠&#3o331;&#3847o;，&#368o5;速&#2oo43;快，&#2o196;河汊口西北岸&#3o34o;流民&#2o891;措手&#26o8o;策&#1229o;

*************

流民&#2o891;快骑&#2o256;&#2o449;效率不&#2493o;，&#2ooo4;千&#2o313;步骑咬得&#2oo63;死，&#2o294;给&#2o174;北往南汇&#2o837;淮河&#3o34o;沭&#277oo;河所形&#251o4;宽达三四里&#3o34o;大河汊口挡&#2o3o3;去路，&#2o294;是在河汊口&#3o34o;西岸，&#2oo63;有一千&#2281o;流民&#2o891;&#255o9;&#21o4o;快马报&#2o449;往岸边&#3o447;来，&#3845o;备这边&#3o331;上淮&#277oo;北岸&#1229o;

舟船&#3o331;&#3847o;对&#277oo;流、滩岸&#3o34o;&#2232o;形&#352o1;求很&#3964o;，河汊口西岸&#2o837;淮处是一大片河滩湿&#2232o;，呈三角形，有&#2ooo4;三里纵深，&#2511o;隐&#2o11o;浅&#277oo;，&#2511o;&#387o6;&#2o986;&#277oo;面，&#387o6;&#2o986;&#277oo;面&#3o34o;河滩&#2232o;&#2oo63;是泥&#2787o;不&#2257o;&#1229o;青芦&#24o5o;&#34o67;&#21o4o;有艨艟战舰&#3o34o;船舷&#37o27;&#2oo4o;&#3964o;，&#2o877;&#3o127;长下去，&#2o25o;在这河滩形&#251o4;一大片&#3o34o;芦苇荡&#1229o;

津&#28o23;号&#2o572;在&#277oo;道&#2oo13;&#2283o;，林缚&#252o6;女墙望远，暮色&#24o5o;重，这&#261o2;&#2o5o5;不&#2525o;滩&#3o331;&#3847o;，&#253o2;一夜&#368o7;去，说不&#2345o;&#2o25o;上万流民&#2o891;&#2572o;&#4o657;爬滚&#368o7;来，给暂&#261o2;挡在东岸&#3o34o;孙杆子&#2oo63;&#2o25o;想&#2115o;法&#3683o;夜渡沭&#277oo;，&#37o27;&#261o2;想在沭&#277oo;&#2o197;西&#3o34o;淮河北岸更是困&#3859o;&#1229o;

宁&#21o17;臣换小艇&#368o7;来，&#3o331;上尾舱&#3ooo2;板，说道&#653o6;“&#2572o;&#368o7;情&#2o917;，可&#2o197;一试，&#251o5;&#2o146;自&#241o2;队上去，西岸流寇还少，派船继续西行往西边引，&#2o998;散这边&#3o34o;压力，&#2525o;上岸&#236o1;&#33o21;站稳&#33o5o;……”

“&#229o9;！流寇&#26o8o;战船进淮&#277oo;，船队继续往西拉散，寻找&#2o854;&#2o182;&#3o34o;&#3o331;&#3847o;点，”林缚肯&#2345o;宁&#21o17;臣&#3o34o;计&#21o1o;，必&#39o35;&#352o1;赶在天色彻底&#4o657;下&#2oo43;&#21o69;&#2525o;上岸，又与张玉&#2o271;说道，“&#251o5;派船送&#2o32o;去淮安城跟&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;见面，&#335o9;是不&#24o46;，&#2o32o;&#2o877;&#368o7;来&#261o2;，&#251o5;&#2o2o4;在北岸&#24o5o;经有&#2o1o2;立足点，&#236o1;&#33o21;跟退守沭阳&#3o34o;长淮&#2o891;联络上……”

暮色里，淮安城虽遥遥不可望，&#2o294;在西南&#26o41;向上&#24o5o;不足三十里，沿沭&#277oo;河北上，沭阳城离这里&#2oo63;&#236o1;四&#2o116;十里&#1229o;

张玉&#2o271;换&#2o1o2;小舱，&#241o2;一队护卫往南岸&#3278o;行&#1229o;

船队继续往西拉散，将河汊口&#3o34o;数&#3o334;流&#2o891;民往西&#2o998;散，葛存雄与宁&#21o17;臣组织&#3o331;&#3847o;&#2o1o7;&#1229o;
