There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. -------Clear. Zhao Yi "On Poetry"

It is said that Chen Long accepted Gan Ning, was in a happy mood, and slept until dawn. Walking out of the cabin, only to feel the Dongting weather, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is clear and clear, the water and the sky are the same color, the sand gulls are flying and gathering, above the waves of ten thousand acres, and you can see the Yueyang Tower that has been famous for thousands of years at a glance. Yueyang Tower at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, far less magnificent and tall than the Yueyang Tower of later generations, just a city tower located on the west city wall, but from the lake in the middle of the distance, it is still extremely shocking.

Chen Long immediately remembered Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of Yueyang Tower" in the later generations, this situation and this scene are consistent with the scenery described in "The Story of Yueyang Tower", as the so-called: "Yuguan Fu Baling is in a prosperous state, in a lake in Dongting." It's just that Ouyang Xiu is climbing the tower to look at the lake, but he is a watchtower in the lake. I remembered the sentence "Tengzijing guards Baling County", and I know that it is Baling County during the Three Kingdoms period.

Behind him, Zhou Budo also came out of the cabin, saw the picturesque scenery, did not forget his true colors as a military advisor, and said with a big grin: "Baling is close to Dongting Lake, and there are Jingzhou sailors guarding and practicing here, but it is also a land route, and the soldiers must fight for it." It is connected to Yuzhang in the east, Jiangxia in the north, Changsha in the south, and Jiangling in the west. ”

Chen Long smiled and nodded, and his light brain had already shown that the later Sun Quan of Wu Guo had sent Zhou Yu to harass Liu Bei's Jingzhou many times, and this was a place for troops. And the invincible Jiangdong Navy Division also uses this place as a training base. When he arrived in the Three Kingdoms era to dominate the world, there will inevitably be a thrilling battle of sailors in the picturesque Dongting Lake in front of him.

Yueyanglou gradually disappeared from sight, the speed of the merchant ship gradually slowed down, and Lu Chang jumped over from the stern of the ship and shouted, "Master, we are about to enter the Jingjiang River." Chen Long knew that the Jingjiang River that Lu Chang said was the Yangtze River, and his heart became excited, and he crossed to the Three Kingdoms, and it was the first time he had close contact with the mother river of Great China. It can be said that without the natural danger of the Yangtze River, there would be no secession between Wu and Shu for hundreds of years.

The mouth of Dongting Lake is very vast, and I can see the water of the Yangtze River rolling in the west, the color is dark yellow, and the water quality is much more turbid. The river surface is unusually wide, I don't see the scenery on the opposite side, I only see the white sails dotted, the mist is swirling, the smoke waves are vast, it seems incomparably deep and lofty, the turbid waves are rolling, emptying and coming out, and it seems full of vitality. Chen Longfeng took a look at the scenery of the Yangtze River, and felt that the merchant ship was going down the water, and the speed was obviously much faster, but it also increased a little bump, so he returned to the cabin and sat down, and instructed Zhou Budo, who followed up: "Jingjiang is dangerous, we can't sail at night." ”

This night was spent in the boat, another two days of sailing, and at noon on the third day, we finally arrived at the Sanjiangkou ferry port in Jiangxia. The Han River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, flows into the Yangtze River from here, and due to long-term erosion, two large sandbanks are formed in the center of the river. The Xiaoxiang Gang has a rudder in Xiakou, and the people of the Xiaoxiang Gang have prepared carriages and horses at the ferry, and Zhou Budo commanded the people to unload the goods and load them into the carriage. A boatload of herbs loaded three carriages, Chen Long took another carriage, and Zhou Budo and others followed on foot and slowly entered Jiangxia County.

Chen Long saw that the sailboats at the ferry were gathered, and the goods were piled up, and knew that this was an important cargo distribution base, no wonder Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei all wanted to grab territory here, and finally Wei Shu and Wu each robbed a part of Jiangxia County, and each established a county system, so that it could be regarded as peaceful. Chen Long asked the gang to bring the truck into the city first, and he called a guide, and took Zhou Budo and the four captains around the city according to the usual practice. There are many ferries on the riverside in the south of the city, and the other three sides are flat, but the large and small lakes are dotted around, and the wetlands are criss-crossed, which increases the difficulty of the march. The carriage can only go around the lake to the lake, it is difficult to travel by land, Chen Long gave up the plan to go around the city, entered the city from the south gate, only to see the strong city towering, the gatehouse*, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is indeed a male city. The guide took a passage paperwork, and the access control was obviously much stricter than that in Changsha.

Entering the city, Chen Long looked at the appearance of the Xiakou city through the carriage window, and sure enough, the market was prosperous, with many shops, and there was the atmosphere of the thoroughfare of the nine provinces. Chen Long did not let the guide stop, and the vehicle went directly into the compound of the Xiaoxiang Gang. Chen Long didn't plan to leak the Xingzang, and now if he went to visit Liu Ba's father, Jiang Xia guarded Liu Xiang too much, and there was no good reason, so he hurried to Luoyang in a hurry, and the work of persuading Liu Ba still needed to wait until Zhang Ning was rescued.

After dinner, Chen Long asked everyone to rest directly, and repaired a letter by himself, writing down his current course of action and location, as well as the matter of Gan Ning's refuge, and asked the Xiaoxiang Gang to bring the return ship to Huang Gai and Jiang Wan.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, four carriages, three carrying herbs, one carrying Chen Long, Zhou Budo and Lu Chang each took a horse, set off in the direction of Yiyang, rested at the pavilion post along the road at night, and arrived at the territory of Yingchuan County two days later.

On this day, I passed through a hill, only to see the lush jungle on the side of the mountain, and the birds flew in fright, Zhou Bu doubted that there was no village in front of this place, no store in the back, and people were inaccessible, so he couldn't help but pay attention. As they were walking, they heard the loud sound of bangs on the edge of the forest, and fifty or sixty bandits wearing yellow scarves rushed out of the woods with large blades in their hands, blocking the way. The first big man, full of beard, tattered clothes, pedals, only the yellow scarf on his head is still complete, and the halberd finger shouted: "Bah! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass by from here, and leave to buy road wealth! Lu Chang and a few other boys laughed for a while, and whistles rang out.

Lu Chang smiled and said, "Boy, your grandfather didn't bring any of them today, what do you say?" The big man had never seen such a man who was not afraid of death, and when he heard this, he was stunned, forgetting that Lu Chang took advantage of him, and pointed to the carriageway: "Leave these carriages behind, spare you from death!" Lu Chang and the other four laughed again, and Lu Chang said with a smile: "Do you want to leave me behind so that I can find a good match for your grandmother?" ”

Only then did the big man realize that Lu Chang scolded him for being a grandson, and raised the big blade and shouted: "I am your grandfather!" Give it to me! The yellow scarf behind him was impatient, and he was about to swarm up with a blade, Chen Long showed his figure from the carriage and said, "Wait! ”

When the big man saw a person coming out of the carriage, he only said that the master's family recognized it, and waved his hand to stop the yellow turban bandits. Chen Long smiled slightly: "I am familiar with your lord Tianbao General Zhang Jiao, General Zhang has always loved the people like a son, you and others are yellow scarves, you should listen to General Zhang Jiao's orders, how can you rob the good people?" The man was taken aback, and stared at Chen Long with suspicious eyes for a long time, and the handsome man opposite actually carried out the big banner of Zhang Jiao, and he didn't know what the way it came from. In fact, they have nothing to do with Zhang Jiao, they are just a group of small thieves, in the name of the yellow scarf, who fell into the grass here.

After thinking about it, the man saw that Chen Long had few people, and he was reluctant to let Chen Long be a fat sheep, so he said loudly: "You birdman, dare to use the banner of the general to deceive us and others, the crime is unforgivable." Brothers, give it to me! "Now fifty or sixty yellow turbans are violent, and they are attacking in groups. The four special operations captains jumped off their horses early, took out military daggers, and the four of them formed a small battle formation, Chen Long shook his head and sighed, and watched the battle with Zhou Budo behind. In less than ten minutes, where was the opponent of the Yellow Turban bandit, humming and chirping, he lay on the ground, leaving only the ragged man stupidly poked in place, forgetting to even escape, looking at the results of the battle in a daze, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Chen Long stepped forward and asked Zhou Budo to take out a piece of silver and throw it at the feet of the big man. Dahan was shocked and looked at Long Chen. Chen Long said: "If there is a great chaos today, you and other poor people, or throw themselves into the yellow scarf, or fall into the grass to become a coward, they are all forced by the world. Take this ingot, and heal them. ”

When the man heard this, he was silent, picked up the ingot, called a group of wounded men, and helped each other into the forest. Chen Long was about to get into the car, when suddenly the man pulled a person out of the forest again, knelt in front of the car with a puff, and said loudly: "In Xia He Man, this is my second brother Huang Shao, thank you for the grace of the righteous man who did not kill and gave silver." Dare to ask the righteous man with a high surname, and the villains should be preached for adults. When Chen Long heard this, he said: "He Man, there is no need to preach, we have just arrived in your realm and want to go to Luoyang." Two guides are missing, would you like to? He Man and Huang Shaodong kowtowed, and they were all happy: "This is the best, I am willing to serve Engong!" Chen Long smiled and said, "In that case, lead the way." ”

Under the leadership of He Man and Huang Shao, the four carriages successfully entered the territory of Yingchuan. He Man talked a lot about the customs of Yingchuan along the way, Huang Shao didn't say much, and Chen Long asked Zhou Budo to buy two sets of clothes in the town for them to change into. He Man and Huang Shao's whole body was renewed, and they were immediately energetic, and they said that they were willing to follow for a long time. Chen Long looked at the imminent arrival in Xudu, hesitated for a while, and wrote a letter to He Man: "He Man, Huang Shao, it's not that I'm stingy, but I have something to do in Luoyang, and you shouldn't follow." I will send you a letter, and if you wish, you can take your subordinates with you to Lingling Huanggai to receive a military position. The Taishou there are familiar with me, and they are benevolent to the people, and you will surely have a way out. The two of them were very grateful, and they were reluctant to mention it.

On the same day, Chen Long ordered people to pass Xu Du without entering, and went straight to Guo Jia's hometown Yangzhai. Along the way, Chen Long thoroughly checked the Yingchuan characters in his light brain, and saw that there were many strange people, like bright stars, and he couldn't help but be amazed and emotional. Yingchuan Warring States period has Lu Buwei, Han Fei, also has their own spear skills of the teacher Gongzi lice, Qin and Han Dynasty Chao Cuo, Zhang Liang, the Three Kingdoms era is the cradle of celebrities, such as Sima Hui, Xun You, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan, Zhong Hui, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Guo Tu, Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Han Fu, Chun Yuqiong, etc. The famous wealthy families in Yingchuan also account for more than half of the Central Plains, such as the Han family, the Xun family, the Chen family, the Fang family, the Zhong family, the Guo family, the Lai family, the Yu family, the Wu family, the Fan family, the Xu family, etc. It is indeed called a large number of celebrities and stars. The Cao Cao family was able to use this place as a base, and the last three points of great strength until the unification of the world was borrowed from the wisdom of many Yingchuan figures.

Chen Long was dazzled in his light brain, and complained about why God didn't throw himself in Yingchuan. In the sound of the carriage, he finally arrived at Guo Jia's hometown------- Yingchuan Yangzhai.
