After parting, reminiscing about each other, how many times did the soul dream with you? ----Northern song dynasty. Yan Jidao "Partridge Heaven"

It is said that Chen Long lived in Chang'an, harvested the reunion in the dark, and inadvertently accepted Zhong Xuan, although he did not meet, he also made a friend to Jia Xu, and Zhang Ning also got a car Lianna, which can be said to have gained a lot. Everyone was homesick, and finally took a big boat back to Lingling Xiangshui Ferry before the onset of deep winter.

White sails gather at the ferry, and stevedores on the dock are busy. Chen Long nodded with satisfaction, it can be seen that Yang Huai's shipping business is booming. Lu Chang didn't wait for the big ship to land, jumped onto the embankment, and hurriedly reported to Huang Gai.

Chen Long raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that in the river bay diagonally opposite the ferry, there were some warships faintly parked, revealing fluttering flags, and couldn't help but be interested, so he asked the big boat to release a small boat, and took Zhang Ning, Zhou Budo and Guo Jia to let a boatman row into the river bay.

Several people were looking at the neat warship and marveling, when suddenly a speedboat came from the gap in the big ship, dressed in soldiers full of bows and arrows, and a young general at the bow shouted: "Well, who are you waiting for!" I actually came to peek at the water village! Get out of the way, or the bow and arrow will be merciless! ”

Zhou Bu was suspicious of hearing this, and was about to scold, but Long Chen stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "It's me who is abrupt." And just leave. ”

The young general drove to the front, forced the boat to turn with a speedboat, and saw that Chen Long and the four people had different images, and he was slightly puzzled in his heart. Hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Zhou Junshi." The villain Gao Pei is a close friend of Yang Huai's gang leader, and he was specially invited by Yang gang leader to come here to help him build a water army. ”

Zhou Budo smiled and said, "General Gao, what a great general." Since you know me, can you know our lord? ”

Gao Pei was taken aback, and when he saw Zhou Budo hidden behind Long Chen, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly knelt on the bow of the boat and said: "My subordinates have eyes and no beads, and I don't know that the lord has returned to Lingling." It's so clumsy, it's time to fight! When the soldiers in the back saw that the Lord was about to kneel, they threw down their bows and arrows. Kneeled in a boat.

Chen Long jumped lightly, got on Gao Pei's speedboat, helped Gao Pei up, and said, "With you and Yang Huai taking care of the navy, I am very relieved." I see that the warships are berthed quite in a disciplined manner, and I hope you will study more naval tactics. Can you be confident that you can win the battle? ”

Gao Pei saw that Long Chen was not to blame, so he put his mind at ease and hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiqi, there are more than 100 large and small warships, but the scale is still small, and there are no special ships. At present, the exercises are all flexible and mobile tactics, and once they encounter a strong enemy, they can only engage in guerrilla attacks. ”

Chen Long asked about the number of sailors, treatment and other details, and while the two were talking, suddenly a medium-sized merchant ship came from a distance from the dock, and a person on the bow shouted loudly: "But the lord is back!" Yang Huai greets the late, forgive the sins! ”

It turned out that Lu Chang first found Yang Huai on the dock, and then went to inform Huang Gai, Huang Gai hurriedly sent someone to invite Jiang Wan, and went home to pick up the peach blossoms, just met Zhen Mi and Tong Feifei who came to talk, Tong Feifei called Zhao Yun, Zhen Mi called Liu Qian, and all the women were overjoyed and hurriedly came to greet them. Yang Huai approached the water building, and when he got to the big boat, he learned that the lord had gone to the water village in a small boat, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to come by boat to greet him.

Chen Long praised Yang Huai's sailors, but he didn't expect that in less than a year, they would begin to take shape. Yang Huai said: "Thanks to Gong Yan for knowing the importance of the navy, he allocated me an extra 200,000 taels of silver after the autumn to expand it. ”

Chen Long said with a smile: "General Yang's trade is booming, and it is still less than these 200,000 taels?" ”

Yang Huai's face turned red and said: "These goods look quite large, but in fact, the profits are low. Only salt goods can make more money. ”

Chen Long knew that it was not appropriate to talk about it today, so he led Zhang Ning and the others to get on Yang Huai's boat, encouraged Gao Pei, and then sailed back to the dock. There were still more than 50 meters left from his big boat, and he saw a surge of people, colorful clothes fluttering, and Huang Gai, Zhao Yun and Jiang Wan had already been hidden among the beauties, and a white hair could be faintly seen among them.

Long Chen knew that it was Huang Gai who led his family to arrive, and it seemed that there were Liu Qian and Zhen Mi. The boat was too slow, Chen Long was anxious, and suddenly jumped high, crossed the space of more than 40 meters, and rushed straight to the bow of the boat, leaving the two major military divisions behind him and the Yang gang leader stunned.

The beauties didn't find Long Chen, and they were talking to each other on the deck, Huang Gai, Zhao Yun, and Jiang Wan were standing by the side of the boat, like three light bulbs. Zhao Yun's eyes were sharp, and when Chen Long jumped up, he had already noticed that someone was approaching from a high altitude, and he hurriedly put on a defensive posture, and at a glance he saw that it was Chen Long, and hurriedly shouted: "It's the lord!" ”

The women turned back one after another, and the peach blossom saw Chen Long's clothes fluttering from the air, and thought it was a dream, and ran to meet Chen Long's arms, but he stumbled under his feet, and he was about to fall, but fortunately, Tong Feifei was quick and fast, and grabbed it, and the peach blossom just stood firm, and Chen Long was already like a bird in the forest, flying into the arms of the peach blossom.

After a few months, the peach blossoms filled their arms for the first time, and their thoughts were like flowing water, and they couldn't help crying. Tong Feifei on the side hurriedly leaned towards Zhao Yun, Liu Qian was old, watching the former lover return unharmed, although he was happy in his heart, he only smiled slightly, but Zhen Mi next to him was a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred. Waiting for Zhang Ning to get on the boat, he smiled and watched Chen Long and Peach Blossom hugging each other tightly, and all the male gods hurriedly surrounded each other, calling the housemother one after another.

In the peach blossom eyes, when she saw Zhang Ning, she broke free from Long Chen's arms with a sigh, rushed to Zhang Ning and shouted: "Mei Niang! The two hugged each other tightly, and both recalled the good times when Mei Niang was in Huangfu, and they had a deep sisterhood for a while.

Only then did all the male gods have time to come to Long Chen, and they all bowed down and saluted: "Lord! ”

Seeing that Zhao Yun, Huang Gai, and Jiang Wan were all in good spirits, Chen Long couldn't help but reach out and hold the hands of the three of them tightly together. The three of them all felt Chen Long's strong longing, the man's righteousness, and the scolding of Fang Xuan, all without words.

The carriages and horses were sparkling, passing through the Lingling block, Chen Long, Taohua and Zhang Ning returned to Huangfu in a car, and the road was full of longing. Zhao Yun led Tong Feifei away, Liu Xian also said goodbye and returned to the mansion, and Liu Qian and Zhen Mi lived in the Huangfu Courtyard. When Jiang Wan left, Long Chen instructed: "Gongyan, please inform all the generals that they will meet at the City Lord's Mansion early tomorrow morning." ”

Jiang Wan understood and knew that Chen Long was going to have a major appointment, so he said happily: "Today, the lord will reunite with his family first. Today's Lingling is no longer what it used to be, it can be described as a gathering of talents, and it needs to be sorted out. "Say goodbye and leave.

That night, Huang An had a big feast, and the family sat together, and invited Liu Qian and Zhen Mi to join. Huang Gai asked in a staggered manner, "Big brother, you are finally back." This time, our brothers want to reunite more, you handed me Lingling for a few months, brother, I am fortunate not to be dishonored. Chen Long hurriedly raised his glass and toasted: "Brother, you have worked hard!" I'll leave it to you, I'll rest assured! "It's all in one drink.

Huang Gai continued to ask: "I don't know how the eldest brother will arrange it in the future?" ”

Chen Long groaned: "The follow-up still needs to be discussed by everyone. I'm afraid that Liangzhou and Jiaozhou will have to use troops, and after seeing tomorrow's troops, they will make plans. Saying that, he laughed and said, "Today is a family reunion, not about business." Come on, come on, don't get drunk today, wait for me to toast one by one. Saying that a cup of drink was full, everyone expressed their longing. Chen Long was drunk that night, Zhang Ning smiled and gave up the bunk to Chen Long, so that he and Peach Blossom lingered all night.

Speaking of which, let go of Chen Long and do not show it, and show Chen Long's main opponent in the future------- Liu Biao took office. Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng, more than eight feet long, gentle and majestic, well-known in the world when he was young, ranked among the "eight handsome". He Jin has to be promoted, and he has to lead the history of Jingzhou's assassination, but he can't take office publicly. Liu Xianma entered Yicheng and conspired with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao, a native of Xiangyang, from Yanzhong Lu County. During the meeting, Liu Biao asked: "The thieves here are very prosperous, and the masses are not attached, so Yuan Shu has made trouble, and the disaster has now come!" I want to recruit troops here, but I'm afraid they won't be able to gather, so what are you going to do? ”

Kuai Liang said: "The reason why the masses are not attached is because of the lack of benevolence, and the reason why the masses are dependent and cannot govern is because of the lack of righteousness; If the way of benevolence and righteousness can be practiced, then the people will return like the downward trend of the water, so why worry about the disobedience of those who come, but ask the strategy of raising the army? ”

Liu Biao asked Kuai Yue again, and Kuai Yue said: "Those who govern peace take benevolence and righteousness first, and those who govern chaos take power and scheming first." There are not many soldiers, but they can win their people. Yuan Shu is brave and unbreakable, Su Dai and Bei Yu are all brave martial artists, so there is nothing to worry about. The leader of the thieves is greedy and violent, and his subordinates are worried. I have some people under my command who are usually cultivated, and if they send people to show their benefit, the leader of the sect and thieves will surely come with the crowd. The king will punish those who have no way, and then use them with others. The people of such a state are happy to stay in this state, and when they know that the envoy is virtuous, he will definitely help the old and bring the weak. Then the soldiers gathered and attached, according to Jiangling in the south, Xiangyang in the north, and the counties of Jingzhou could be passed on. Although Yuan Shu and the others came, there was nothing they could do. ”

Liu Biao sighed: "Zirou's words are very kind. The plan of the different degrees is also far-sighted. It's just that Lingling was occupied by Chen Long by order, and this person is not easy to deal with. I had to let it develop first, and then make plans. Then he asked Kuai Yue to send people to lure fifty-five thieves to the banquet, kill them all, and attack their subordinates together. Jiangxia water thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng supported the crowd to defend Xiangyang, and Liu Biaonai sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to ride alone to surrender them. When the county magistrate of Jingzhou heard that Liu Biaowei was famous, most of them took off their seals and fled. At this point, Liu Biao controlled the six counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County and Lingling County, and managed the troops in Xiangyang to observe the changes of the times.

Although Chen Long has recruited many talents, there are Jiaozhou Shixie in the south and Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the north, but he is still compressed in the small land of Lingling. Chen Long's next step, although he spreads his wings like an eagle, how should he develop? Is it to go south to Jiaozhou, or to go north to Jingzhou, or to be patient for the time being, wait for the opportunity, and harvest Liangzhou? Check out the next episode.
