Wang Can left the restaurant with Dian Wei, and immediately asked Xu Shu to prepare for war after returning to Taishou Mansion.

The army was ready to attack Wuximan.

Although Liu Pet sent someone to invite Sha Moke to come to Qiqi County to meet Wang Can, but after the incident in the restaurant, Liu Pet resigned, and the matter of inviting Sha Moke was over, and Wang Can was already left behind. Wang Can urgently needs a hearty victory to inspire the people, so that the people of Qiqi County can raise their heads and be people, this is what Wang Can wants to do.

Qiqi County is under the rule of Wang Can, and Wang Can has to ensure the livelihood of the people.

Therefore, on the sixth day of the seventh month of the third year of Chuping, Wang Can led the army to leave Jilan County and go to Wuling Mountain to attack the barbarians.

Wang Can brought more than 40,000 soldiers from Chengdu, leaving 5,000 soldiers to garrison Helan County, and the remaining 35,000 soldiers all went out with Wang Can.

When the army went out of the city, the people in the city saw each other off and applauded.

Among them, the most lively place is undoubtedly the restaurant where Wang Can drinks.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant vacated the place where Wang Can was sitting, and found a storyteller to tell the storyteller what happened to Wang Can in the restaurant. For a while, the restaurant was very lively, and the people liked to hear that the storyteller said that Dian Wei beat the barbarians, and Wang Can reprimanded Liu Chong.

There are more people, and the business of the restaurant manager is also better.

On the one hand, he publicized Wang Can's affairs, and on the other hand, he took the opportunity to do business, killing two birds with one stone.

With the word of mouth of the people, there are more and more versions of Wang Can in the restaurant.

In particular, Dian Wei is described as a lion-nosed and wide-mouthed, who can defeat barbarians with a slight wave of his hand, and there is a tendency to become more and more outrageous. In short, Wang Can and Dian Wei took root in the hearts of the people of Qiqi County, and perhaps Wang Can did not expect an inconspicuous thing that made him a protector in the eyes of the people.

……

The 800-mile Dongting Lake is picturesque and beautiful.

An inconspicuous island in Dongting Lake, but it is the garrison of the naval army led by Gan Ning and Zhou Tai.

There are large warships docked around the island, as well as ships, warships, building ships, etc., which are quite spectacular. Among them, the large warship can accommodate more than 3,000 people at most, which is already a very strong warship, and can almost sweep the Yangtze River. Not long ago, the 20 warships carrying Wang Can's 40,000-strong army had all returned and anchored outside the island.

On the island, the camp of the sailors.

Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the three giants of the navy, stood in the hall, looking at the map hanging in the hall, you and I kept arguing with each other, but in the end they could not reach a unified opinion.

After Liu Bei withdrew his troops from Shangyong City, Zhou Tai stayed in Shangyong City to recuperate from his injuries.

It took more than a month for Zhou Tai's injuries to recover.

After Zhou Tai's body recovered, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai returned directly to Dongting Lake Water Village. And when the two returned, they also brought news of Wang Can. Because Wang Can asked them to play the banner of Yizhou, it showed that Ganning's navy could blatantly expand its power. However, the siege of cities and land is not a casual talk, you must choose the right place.

Dongting Lake is located at the confluence of Yuanshui, Xiangshui and Yangtze River, and is close to Wuling County, Changsha County and Jiangxia County.

Wang Can said that he couldn't attack Liu Biao, so Gan Ning could only give up Jiangxia County.

Therefore, Gan Ning set his sights on Changsha County, Sun Jian's former hometown, and wanted to capture Changsha as a foothold for the Yizhou Navy, so as to gradually expand outward. However, Zhou Tai disagreed with Gan Ning's point of view, and felt that it was correct to occupy Baling County, which was closest to the Yangtze River, so that he could not only rely on the Yangtze River, but also expand outward.

Zhou Tai and Gan Ning each have their own opinions, and Jiang Qin also has a family.

Jiang Qin pointed to the map and believed that the navy should have its back to Dongting Lake and occupy Hanshou County on the south side of Dongting Lake.

The three of them have their own ideas and don't give in to each other.

Zhou Tai's voice was loud, but Gan Ning was not to be outdone, and the two fought for each other. Although Jiang Qin was defeated by the two, he also intervened from time to time. In the navy, although Gan Ning is the governor of the navy, he is not a tyrannical person, and he also feels a headache when he sees that Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai disagree.

Just as the three of them were arguing, a shout came from outside the hall: "Report! "A soldier ran in quickly, still holding a letter in his hand.

After the soldiers came in, Gan Ning and the three immediately stopped arguing.

The soldier saluted the three of them, clasped his fists and said, "Governor, this is news from Yizhou." ”

As he spoke, the soldier handed the letter out.

Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and after taking the envelope from the soldier's hand, he asked the soldier to retreat. After Gan Ning quickly read the contents of the letter, he handed the envelope to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.

After reading it, the three of them discussed it carefully.

In the end, Gan Ning said: "The three of us can't argue, and none of them have reached a conclusion. Besides, the three of us are all big bosses, and it's okay to go to the battlefield to fight, but if we want to appease the people, we definitely can't handle internal affairs. Therefore, I suggest that the lord send a counselor who can not only give ideas, but also deal with internal affairs, what do you think? ”

After hearing this, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin nodded and agreed. It's okay for them to lead their troops to attack the city and plunder the land, but to really let them deal with political affairs, Wang Can has to send people over.

The three reached a unanimous opinion, and Gan Ning wrote a letter.

……

There are five streams in Wuling County, namely Xiongxi, Zhangxi (man) Creek, Chenxi, Youxi, and Wuxi.

These five streams converge in Wuling Mountain, and the barbarians who live in Wuling Mountain call them Wuxi Man. Because Wuxi is close to Wuling County, these barbarians are also called Wuling Barbarians. Among the Wuxi barbarian kings of this generation, the barbarian king Shamoke is the main one, and he gathered the Wuxi barbarians, and his strength is very strong.

Wuxi Man lived in the Wuling Mountains and made a living by hunting.

It is precisely because of the survival mode of the Wuxi barbarians that they have to go out to loot from time to time, so they have an unresolved hatred with the Han people.

In the dim mountain forest, there are countless towering trees.

An open place in the middle of the mountains.

There is a large village in this place, which is patrolled by countless brute soldiers. Dazhai is where Wuxi Man lives, and the barbarian king Shamoke is the largest leader among them.

At this moment, a barbarian was in the house to report the matter.

What he said was that Wang Can asked Dian Wei to crush the barbarians and kill a few more barbarians. and also said that Wang Can asked Shamoke to wash his neck and wait for death. When Shamoko heard the news of the barbarians' report, he was furious. He laughed angrily, a look of anger in his blue eyes.

Shamoko was a burly man, tall, nearly nine feet tall, with blue eyes, a full beard, and black hair that slashed over his shoulders, exuding an air of arrogance and rebelliousness.

He stared at the brute who reported the news and asked, "Has the wounded son returned?" ”

The barbarian clenched his fists and said, "Barbarian King, more than ten brothers who were injured have returned. ”

Shamoke showed a hideous expression on his face, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said loudly: "A group of fools, who were bullied by the Han people, dared to come back, it is simply a shame for our barbarians. When they came, they cut off all the people who had fled, and all their heads were hung at the gate of the camp to warn the other barbarians. ”

"No!"

The brute replied and immediately went to carry out the order.

Shamoke watched the barbarians leave, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his blue eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent, and he muttered to himself: "Wang Can, this king has let you come and go, see if you dare to be arrogant." ”

After saying that, Shamoko laughed.

Loud laughter continued to come out of the room, and it made people's hearts seep into the panic.
