Two days later.

Outside the city.

On the shore of the Han River, a ship is moored, this is a small ship, not those real fighting ships, but imitation fighting ships formed by ships, not big, but can carry about seventy or eighty people, and there are some weapons and equipment on it.

On the deck, Mu Jing was dressed in a brocade robe, his hands were behind his back, and his eyes stared at the water on the river: "Wen Yuan, I heard yesterday that you exterminated the first group of water bandits?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Liao didn't have much joy, he elaborated softly: "This stream of water and Xixian to the east of more than 20 miles, from the tributary to the north, more than ten miles, built in a turning reed, if there is no county soldiers to personally lead the way, I really can't find it, as soon as my army arrived, they surrendered, captured 182 water robbers, captured four boats, are fishing boats, only the foot of this boat is estimated to be the best warship!" ”

"That's a good start!"

The pasture nodded: "It seems that the people of Xixian County still know things!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhang Liao said: "It is not a simple person to be able to become a water coward, and the beginning is smooth, but if you want to completely clean up the water coward on this waterway, it is inevitable that you will have to go through a few battles, otherwise they may not be willing to surrender!" ”

"I'll leave the rest to you, I'll leave it to you, I'll rest assured!"

Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder and said: "I have beaten the people in the city who should be beaten, and I am stubborn, you can dispose of it as appropriate, you can kill it or kill it, I will give you the right to cut first and then play, but you also have to take a good measure, this Xixian County must not be chaotic, after all, this is the foundation of our establishment of a naval army!" ”

"Understood!"

"By the way, there's one more thing, I'm really a little curious about who attacked me before!"

"I've checked this too!"

Zhang Liao said: "But the result was beyond our expectations, the people of Xixian County were not so bold, before I led the army into Xixian, they had already instructed the people below, not to come out and take the lead, it may be that they estimated that we would not stay here for a long time, so they wanted to avoid this limelight, but they never thought that a foreign water coward let us take the name!" ”

"Alien waters?" Mu Jing squinted: "Within a radius of 100 miles, in Hanzhong, there are few water robbers, before and after Weixi County, water robbers come out frequently, and foreign water robbers, can they beg for food here?" ”

"It's not Hanzhong at all!"

Zhang Liao said: "I also found out the heels of this group of people, from Ba County, as for how they appeared here, they are still being consulted, they use the bell as a horn, I heard that not only smashed Ba County, but also quite famous in Jingzhou, called Jinfan thieves!" ”

"What?"

When Mu Jing heard this, his eyes widened: "Jinfan thief? ”

Isn't this the bandit name of the Eastern Wu warrior in history?

It's such a coincidence.

"Yes, Sail Thief!" Zhang Liao said: "Few people know the origin of its leader, but this person is rumored to have extraordinary martial arts, and the brocade robe has been righteous for many years. ”

"The bell is the number, the clothes of the brocade!"

Mu Jing smiled bitterly, it is estimated that it is that person.

It's a pity.

If he knew at the time, maybe he could still find a way to keep them, after all, if they went down the river, they might not be able to track them, they could also pursue them along the coast, mobilize heavy troops, encircle and suppress them before and after, and chase them down the river.

Maybe you can still keep that No. 1 naval general.

"It seems that there is no chance!" Mu Jing sighed and figured it out, he sat on the history of this era, was familiar with the future development, and naturally knew the existence of some famous strategists, but whether he could recruit or not was indeed unknown, even if you knew, so what, without this opportunity, without this prestige, he couldn't recruit anyone.

After Mu Jing said a few more words to Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao saluted and left.

Today, Mujing will take this boat, go west to the waterway, and return to Nanzheng.

He wanted to experience for himself the difference between taking the waterway and taking the land route, otherwise he would not be sure of the resources needed to develop the waterway in the future.

"My lord, I always feel that it is not safe to sail!" After the ship set sail, Huo Yu said with some complaints: "Shuo Fangying can't accompany it, so we can only stare at it from a distance by land, and we are not familiar with water, if something happens to this ship, what should we do!" ”

"There are not so many surprises!"

Mu Jing greeted the slight breeze and said: "If you don't go to it in person, there is always no bottom in your heart, if you want to connect Hanzhong Nanyang with this waterway in the future, only after I experience it in person, I can make a decision!" ”

When Huo Yu heard this, he had nothing to say.

On the second day of sailing, the ship began to become a little boring, this ship is not big, and it can also make the masters of the Divine Guard and the Five Doumi Sect casual, there are not many people, and the environment is narrow, so they can only succumb to the cabin, which is really boring.

On the third day, they traveled to the western city.

"From Xixian Road to Xicheng, if you take the land route, how long will it take?" Mu Jing asked.

"Four days at least!"

"In that case, we've saved at least a day!" Mu Jing was greatly comforted: "It seems that the waterway is a good idea to save time!" ”

In Xicheng, they passed quietly, did not stay, did not alarm the Xicheng County Ya, the Han River flowed from the outskirts of Xicheng, even if it was connected to the moat, if you didn't pay attention to it on weekdays, you still couldn't notice that someone was passing by.

This made Mu Jing see a big drawback.

"If the waterway can't be controlled, someone will lead elite ships to the north along the way, all the way to Nanzheng, I'm afraid we won't be conscious!" Mu Jing said with a sigh.

Hanshui spans Hanzhong County from east to west, and it is the largest official road in itself, but this official road can not be effectively used, which is a waste for Hanzhong, or a loophole, a loophole in strategic defense.

A day later, they traveled to the stone spring.

Shiquan is the land of grain storage in the past, and it is also the place where grain is lost in pasture.

It is connected to the Meridian Road, and the Han River also forks a branch river here, called the Meridian River, the Meridian River is not big or deep, and ordinary fishing boats and rafts are feasible, but if they are fighting boats, they cannot enter.

Stationed on the stone spring was the Fan Xiao battalion of the Yellow Turban Army's Huang Shao Division.

"The last will meet the lord!"

Fan Xiao came in a hurry, he didn't have any news at all, why did the lord return to Nanzheng.

"Fan Xiao, Shi Ting has been stable recently!"

Mu Jing stood on the deck, staring at the north, the stone pavilion went north, it was the Meridian Road, the Meridian Road led to Chang'an, not only Chang'an needed to be armed, they also needed to be armed, they could go north along the Meridian Road, and the officers and soldiers of Chang'an might not be able to go south along the Meridian Road.

"Repay the Lord, everything is fine!" Fan Xiao nodded.

"That's good!"

Mu Jing pointed to the north: "Shiquan is here, it is particularly important, although it is not a city, but it can establish a military town, with the army as a town, it can connect the east and west of Hanzhong, and it can also defend the north, don't look at the north There are mountains as barriers, but there are also small roads to enter and exit, you have a great responsibility, don't let me down!" ”

"No!"

Fan Xiao nodded heavily.

After some instructions, Mu Jing added some grain, grass and water, did not stay too long, and continued to move in the direction of Nanzheng, it was already late April, he was more and more worried about Nanzheng, and he had to return to Nanzheng as soon as possible.

A day later, Maki's boat passed through Chenggu Castle.

After another day and a half, the ship entered Nanzheng and anchored on the shore on the outskirts of Nanzheng......
