Luoyang Jindoushan Jindouguan, Xuanwu North Palace.

Bai Laodao stood in front of the curtain, wiped Sanqing's portrait, and sighed softly: "Chun'er, hurry up and clean up this place, and then inform Jingzhong's eyeliner to go to Jiangdong with me!" ”

"Huh?" Chun'er was shocked when she heard this, the teacup in her hand that had just been filled shook off, and the tea spilled on the ground, "Master, isn't it needed here?" ”

Bai Laodao nodded, put down the portrait of Sanqing in his hand, turned to look at the small blue grass that had just emerged under the steps outside the window, and stood with his hands in his hands: "Stinging insects should hide in deep holes, and green pines will never lie in the ravine." A hundred years ago, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism and Taoism was defeated, and Chu Shanxin and Fei Shucai died in a hurry. So the ancestors broke away from Taoism and founded Buddhism, and hid in the world.

A hundred years have passed, and the Han family has divided the princes and risen together, which is the time to revitalize our religion. After being a stinger for so many years, and planning for so long, I am afraid that the enthusiasm of the teacher is almost cold. Therefore, today's teacher also has to learn from the green pine in the secluded ravine to fight to the sky, and teach the world to see how I teach how to correct the name of Taoism! ”

"Master, then shall we go straight to Jiangdong to join Uncle Shi?"

"Nope! The goal of our trip is Xuzhou Xiapi, the Buddha Bathing Festival! ”

……

"On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like daylight. The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same. I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt. ”

When Wang Li and Zhao Yun and others arrived in Xiangyang, it was not dusk, the moon was not on, and the lights were not burned, but compared to the last time they played together, Ling'er and Zhi'er were no longer around. Ling'er stayed in Chang'an, but Zhi'er was never heard from.

Wang Li also does not have the sadness of 'not seeing last year's people, tears wet the sleeves of the spring shirt', only the sorrow of 'the wind and rain do not pity the yellow flowers and thinness, and the people who hold the lamp in front of the hurried steps'.

He left Xun You, Xi Zhong, Guo Jia, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others to Huangfu Song, and also returned Ma Chao and Pang De to Ma Teng, and then took Zhao Yun, Ma Yunlu, Jia Xu and Zhou Cang and others to go straight to Moling in Danyang County.

Because he received a secret letter from the Jiangdong Hall of the Diting Camp, Zhenrong was promoted by Tao Qian to the prime minister of Xiapi. After Zhenrong arrived in Xiapi County, he immediately built Buddhist temples, ordered the people under his rule to recite scriptures day and night, and moved hundreds of nuns and monks from nearby prefectures and counties into the county, preparing to hold a "Buddha bathing meeting" in Xiapi on the eighth day of April this year.

Now that he knows Cui Shi Niang's true identity, he believes that if Cui Shi Niang has taken Zhi'er to Jiangdong, then she will definitely go to Xiapi to participate in this "Buddha Bathing Meeting"!

Moling is located in Jiangdong, only one or two hundred miles away from Xiapi, it is an excellent place.

The docks are full of people and boats.

Standing on the dock, seeing Ma Yunlu looking at the city with a look of anticipation, Wang Li smiled and patted Zhao Yun with a smile: "Zilong, today is the Shangyuan Festival, it is the time of the year to see the lights, presumably the lights in Jingzhou City at this time are already burning."

Although the younger siblings are heroines, they are also daughters. You and your younger brother and sister newlywed Yan'er will accompany the foolish brother all the way, it is extremely hard, and the younger brother and sister have never spoken alone, tonight the foolish brother will give the two of you a holiday, you take the younger brother and sister to the city to hang out! ”

Ma Yunlu's face suddenly showed excitement, but Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Brother, when the younger brother received the order, he made a military order in front of several gentlemen, and he must ensure that the elder brother returns intact." How can a manly husband give up halfway?

Brother Chang'an is in danger of my Yanhuang Zhongxing, and now I am waiting outside this Xiangyang City, under the rule of Liu Biao, how dare Zhao slack off? It's just a few lanterns, so don't look at it. Yunlu was born in Jiangmen, Zhao believes that Yunlu can take care of the overall situation, and Zhao will make up for her another Shangyuan on the other day! ”

A trace of gloom was fleeting in Ma Yunlu's eyes, and Zhou Cang, Zhao Ye and the others had already stepped forward with a chubby butler wearing silk and satin: "Young master, I am fortunate to have found a Taiping Boat Gang that can go to Moling, and this person is the housekeeper of the Boat Gang." ”

Wang Li looked at the housekeeper: "You are the steward of the ship?" ”

The butler smiled on his cheeks, revealing the appearance of Maitreya Buddha

smiled, arched his hand towards Wang Li and said: "Cai is the housekeeper of the Taiping Boat Gang, Cai has seen Lang Jun!" ”

"Steward Cai, if there is chaos today, it is not easy to sail, why do you dare to name the balance, isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Wang Lixu raised his head and looked at Steward Cai lightly.

Steward Cai smiled, pointed to Zhou Cang and the others: "Since my Taiping Boat Gang dares to name Taiping, it is naturally worthy of the name, if Lang Jun doesn't believe it, you can ask these two brothers under your command to see if anyone dares to cross you when they walk around the dock?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Cang and the others nodded, Steward Cai continued: "Lang Jun should have just come from afar, right?" Lang Jun didn't know that before the Jiangdong Sun Wentai raised troops to avenge the revenge of the past, although the troops have retreated to Jiangxia, the river has long been blocked, and all southbound ships must stop for inspection.

The oarman shook until dawn, and his belly was hungry to his back. To go to Moling, you must pass through the ferry controlled by our Jingzhou army and the jurisdiction of the Jiangdong Army. This back and forth, just the silver taels that are filial to the two armies are not small, where can ordinary shippers still make a profit? Only our Cai family Taiping Boat Gang dares to walk up! ”

"Oh? Why? Wang Liqi said.

Steward Cai stroked the few sparse beards under his chin, and smiled proudly: "Because we are Cao Yun!" ”

The so-called Cao Yun is a mode of transportation that uses river transportation, sea transportation, and land and water transportation to transport grain, salt and iron, local specialties, and military supplies to the front line, Beijing Division, or specially designated places.

When Qin Shi Huang conquered the Xiongnu in the north, he transported military grain and some strategic materials to the Beihe area by means of Cao Yun. Similarly, Guanzhong, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, also transported a large amount of grain, grain and grass to Weishui through the Sanmenxia of the Yellow River.

Among them, the most famous Cao Yun channel in history is the Sui Yang Emperor period to collect manpower and material resources from all over the country to dig the Tongji Canal, and unite the three major water systems of the Yellow River, the Huai River and the Yangtze River to form a grand canal connecting the north and south.

Caoyun's profits were huge, and it had always been controlled by the imperial court, and even in the early Han Dynasty, the post of Cao Du Lieutenant was specially set up. However, due to the sluggishness of the dynasty at this time, the heroes stood side by side, and the captain of the Cao Cao had long been annihilated in the long river of history, while Cao Yun had gradually been handed over to the hands of the family for the smuggling of money, grain, salt and iron.

This is the case with the Taiping Boat Gang, the way of making money for the famous Cai Mao Cai family in Jingzhou.

Steward Cai then pointed to a two-story high but three or five zhang wide and ** zhang long boat at the ferry and said: "This ship is called Chengfeng, which is not afraid of storms and dangerous shoals, and is one of the best ships in my Taiping Boat Gang." Lang Jun can rest assured, even if all the sons and daughters under your command live in, it will not look crowded. ”

"You two go to the city and take a look, and come back before curfew!" Wang Li nodded at Zhao Yun and the others, directly hung the two in place, and took Jia Xu, Zhou Cang and others to turn around and walk towards the Chengfeng with Steward Cai.

Zhou Cang, Zhao Ye and others were naturally placed on the first floor, but Wang Li and Jia Xu went straight to the second layer.

Pushing open the window of the cabin, blowing the river breeze of hunting, and feeling the ups and downs of the boat on the water, Wang Li looked at Jia Xu and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Mr. Wenhe, you are from Liangzhou, and you have been running between Liangzhou and Sizhou all your life, and you are used to seeing the yellow sand. ”

"The lord laughed, although Jia had more contacts than horses and donkey carts, he had not seen boats, and he had been more rippling in the blue waves when he was on the banks of the Weishui River in the past."

Jia Xu shook his head and sat down face-to-face with Wang Li: "It's the habit of southerners riding boats and northerners riding horses, and the lord needs to think more about it." Now that my army has pacified the three states of Dingsi, Liang and Yong, it will inevitably step on the Central Plains and wave the Jiangdong in the future. ”

Wang Li took a square towel from the cabin, wiped his face, and sighed: "What you said is not it?" Among the generals under the account, Zilong has been fighting with me for many years, from Jizhou to Yongliang, and there is no need to say much about his brave and loyal Wen Taowu strategy.

But looking at the generals, Wenyuan has magnificent forces, is strategic, picks up opportunities, and is good at handling the camp

Chen, the south wing is extraordinary, will be slightly long, Bo Xun siege the city and pull out the village, see death as home, Gongming is wide and fierce, and the formation is neat.

The rest such as Wen Huan, Zhi Ran, Liang Xing and others are brave and brave, but their wisdom is not what they are good at. None of the generals can fight in water, and none of them are good at water warfare. So..."

"Therefore, the lord plans to take a trip to Jiangdong in person with the help of the matter of the girl, hoping to find a few generals who are good at water warfare?" Jia Xu took over the topic and smiled slightly, "The lord is now on the water under Xiangyang City, so he must also know about the Jingzhou Water Army."

Xiangfan Navy, Jiangxia Navy, are the best in Jingzhou's Navy, its generals Huang Zu, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, etc. are also good at governing the Navy, Sun Wentai Jiangdong Tigers, when they took Jiangxia in the past, they were also quite jealous of these three people, did the lord ever like it? ”

Jingzhou Water Army, Wang Li is still interested, after all, when Guan Yu later guarded Jingzhou, he flooded the Seventh Army and captured Cao Ying's famous generals Ban and Pang De alive, and it was the Jingzhou Water Army that was used.

But when it comes to the generals of the Jingzhou Navy, Wang Li can only stay away.

It's not that these three people are not qualified, in fact, in history, these three people are rare naval generals in Jingzhou.

After Huang Zunai's 'Xiang Jiuling' Huang Xiang, he has been sitting in Jiangxia since he took refuge in Liu Biao. Although he was defeated repeatedly, he was also defeated again and again, firmly controlled Jiangxia in his own hands, and in several battles with Eastern Wu, he also shot and killed Ling Cao and Xu Kun, the generals of the Eastern Wu Naval Army.

And Cai Mao and Zhang Rang, if it weren't for Jiang Gan's gang that Cao Cao was killed by mistake because of Zhou Yu's counter-plot, Cao Cao might not have the later Chibi defeat, as for the burning of Chibi? Could there be anything else? Maybe it can only appear in the wild history.

But the character of these three people, Wang Li can only repay him.

Huang Zu is cunning and perverse, he is a character like Liu Biao's henchman, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are both relatives of Liu Biao, but they sold Jingzhou to Cao Cao when Liu Biao's body was still cold, and also easily pitted Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi. So much so that the later Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, scolded the two of them: all of them were destroyed and tried for a hundred generations.

When it comes to the generals of the navy during the entire Three Kingdoms period, Wang Li has quite a few in his heart.

For example: Zhou Yu who 'made a mistake in the song, Zhou Langgu', or Huang Gai who burned Chibi with a bitter meat plan, or Lu Meng who crossed the river in white clothes and caused Guan Yu to defeat Maicheng, or Lu Xun who burned the company camp for 700 miles.

It's a pity that Huang Gai is the treasure of his grandson Menghu's old grandson's family, not for sale. And Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are in love at this time, and they can't be cheated. As for the other two, Lu Meng and Lu Xun, I'm afraid they are just little children who haven't grown their hair yet!

In addition to the original Jingzhou system and Jiangdong attack, there was a person who broke into Wang Li's mind, but Wang Li didn't know if this person was in Yizhou or had already come to Jingzhou.

Wang Li shook his head and smiled bitterly at Jia Xu: "The heroes of the world's naval army are Jingzhou and Jiangdong, but Wang also has a favorite general in his heart, but this person is not a hero of Jingzhou, nor a Jiangdong man, but a native of Linjiang, Ba County, Yizhou......"

"This ship is leased by us, who is your Excellency, who dares to trespass?" As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard a loud shout from Zhou Cang downstairs.

Before Wang Li and the two got up, they heard a ping-pong sound in the cabin on the first floor, suspected to be tables, chairs and benches smashed into the boat, mixed with Zhou Cang's muffled snort and an unruly roar.

"Ge Laozi, big man, you go out to inquire, is there a cabin on the water in Jingzhou that your grandfather can't enter, and you dare to stop me with any special things!"

Hey? It seems that Zhou Cang still suffers a loss?

Wang Li was taken aback, although Zhou Cang's martial arts were only second-rate, his brute strength should not be underestimated, and there was still an arrogant and domineering man on the ground in Jingzhou who made Zhou Cang suffer?

Who could this guy be?
