After running for many days, the moment they left Jingzhou, many soldiers who dared to go first breathed a sigh of relief. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is not that they are worried about the chasing soldiers who rush from behind, as the elite of the army, arrogance is a must, these years of fighting in the south and the north, even Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army They have also touched face to face, and they didn't look at those soldiers and horses in Jingzhou at all.

What really relieved them was that they didn't have to travel as much as before. You must know that letting the cavalry catch up with the ships is not an ordinary toss, if it is okay for a day or two, for many days in a row, they go over the mountains and mountains every day, even they are a little unable to bear it.

Looking at the smiling faces of his subordinates, Sun Guan was full of tiredness, but he couldn't help but chuckle.

"These guys..."

"General—" A junior colonel approached and glanced at the men who were coming ashore. Will those people follow us back to Beihai next? ”

Between the words, there was some disdain.

It's a regular army, how can you afford these water thieves?

If these water thieves have the strength, forget it, but before, they were cleaned up by the armor soldiers around Yan Shao. This scene can be seen in the eyes of this group of knights, how can they possibly look down on this group of water thieves? —————— even though they themselves are no match for those armorers...

"Don't underestimate them," Sun Guan chuckled, and pointed at the water thieves in the distance with the whip in his hand. If you fight them on the water, you may not be able to win, the Lord Guild must have his reason for being willing to accept these water thieves, not to mention that Gan Ning's martial arts are extraordinary, even if I am much inferior, but it is not to be underestimated..."

Sun Guan had never tried with Gan Ning, but when he was competing with Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, Sun Guan had been watching from the side, and he had a fairly intuitive understanding of Gan Ning's martial arts.

This person's moves are somewhat similar to him and Guan Hai and others, but they are much stronger, if they are replaced by Gan Ning to fight against this person, I am afraid that he will be defeated in less than ten rounds.

Gan Ning is so powerful, these people are also very clear, so they put away their contempt in their hearts.

Just as Sun Guan was talking to a few deputies, Yan Shao was also chatting with Gan Ning on the shore in the distance. "How, Xingba, have these ships been disposed of?"

"It's dealt with..."Glancing at the few ships behind him with some reluctance, Gan Ning turned around and clenched his fists and said respectfully to Yan Shao. I got a lot of grain and grass from a few neighboring villages and towns, as well as some of my peers, at least enough for us to hold out for seven or eight days..."

Now that the decision has been made to return to the North Sea, the ships must be disposed of. Otherwise, you can't drag these ships all the way back to the North Sea, right? It's a little too unrealistic.

As for taking the waterway to Beihai, not to mention the long distance, whether it can be persevered. These boats are all inland river boats, and it may be quite convenient to use them on the Yangtze River, but if they are used for navigation in the sea, the wind and waves are usually calm, and there is a risk of capsizing if there is a little wind and waves.

For the sake of such a few ships, there is really no need to take such a big risk, it is better to solve it on the spot, sell them to the locals, in exchange for some grain and grass or whatever, it is more simple and straightforward. Anyway, after returning to the North Sea, with the resources in Yan Shao's hands, it will not be difficult to build a few larger and stronger ships than this.

But then again, after all, Gan Ning has spent a long time on these ships, and even dressed the ships very much to his taste, so he is a little reluctant to abandon the old man like this.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Hearing Gan Ning say that he had already disposed of the ship, Yan Shao was also relieved.

I have to say that maybe Gan Ning is very reluctant to his old buddies, but Yan Shao sees that they are really...

Spicy eyes...

What do you say? Jinfan thief, Gan Ning has always been coquettish, not only does he like to fork a feather on his head and hang some bells or something, but his boat is also dressed up a little non-mainstream. Even if the sails were made of colorful brocade cloth, even the top of his ship was dressed up fiercely.

Re-traveled, Yan Shao's aesthetics seem to be slightly on par with the people of this era, and it is inevitable that Gan Ning's taste is a little unacceptable, not to mention that this is inevitably too non-mainstream...

On this way, Yan Shao can accept everything, but he is a little bit of a dress for Gan Ning's ship...

But when he heard that the ships had brought a lot of food, he was overjoyed.

"Seven or eight days? That's really good, we returned to Qingzhou this time, we needed a lot of food, the war horses were fine, and we could barely use weeds to replace them without concentrate, but people couldn't hold on for so long. Originally, I was thinking about whether I would like to borrow some grain and grass from other princes along the way, but now it seems that there is no need for this..."

There is no way, after adding Gan Ning's eight hundred brocade sail thieves, the number of Yan Shao's team has reached almost two thousand. This also means that the grain and grass needed by the group is much more than expected, and the grain and grass that could lead people to Qingzhou barely hold on to it is suddenly a little insufficient.

In addition, Gan Ning and they are all water thieves, usually by boat, there is no such thing as a war horse—————— this does not mean that Gan Ning and they will walk back to Beihai, dare to be the first army as the most elite cavalry in Qingzhou, has always pursued the configuration of double or even three horses, that is to say, each cavalry has at least two or three war horses by his side, so that on the one hand, the extra war horses can carry more food or other equipment, such as tents or other things, On the other hand, in the process of long-distance running, if the war horse you are riding is too tired, you can temporarily change to another horse, so that on the one hand, you can continue to run long-distance, and on the other hand, you can also let the previous war horse replenish its physical strength...

This is also the most important reason why the first army has trekked mountains and rivers along the way, but can still catch up with Yan Shao and them.

Even if there are suddenly more than 800 people now, the Dare First Army can easily send 800 war horses out to them, and there will be no problems at all.

The real problem is, they don't know how to ride horses...

If they could ride horses, all the problems would be easy to say, but they didn't know how to ride horses, and there were less than 100 people among the eight hundred sail thieves who knew how to ride horses, and the rest were like those landlubbers under Yan Shao's tent, who had never been on horseback.

If this is not usually anything, they can learn slowly, but Yan Shao and they don't have so much food and grass for them to learn slowly. Otherwise, when they learn, they don't know when they will return to Qingzhou...

But people can't throw it away, they can only take it, and you can imagine how much time this journey will be delayed.

Originally, Yan Shao and the others were having a headache for this, but now Gan Ning has exchanged a lot of grain and grass, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

Seven or eight days of grain and grass, save some use, so that they can return to Qingzhou seems to be no problem...

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Yan Shao was very happy here, but Gan Ning was a little angry.

"Xingba, what's wrong?" Yan Shao was a little puzzled, when he talked to Gan Ning about selling the ship before, although Gan Ning was a little reluctant, he didn't show such an expression...

Hearing Yan Shao's inquiry, Gan Ning said angrily. "Those bastards, when they heard that I was going to Qingzhou, they almost welcomed me one by one, and this time they were able to exchange so much grain and grass because they knew that I was leaving, so they specially sent me some more, which really annoyed me..."

It turned out that when Gan Ning went to sell the boat, the towns along the way were scared when they saw Gan Ning's boats, where did they dare to do business. finally caught one, and he knelt directly on the ground and called grandpa, and he didn't understand what it meant to be angry and wealthy.

In the end, there was no way, Gan Ning directly put the knife on the other party's neck, so that the other party could barely listen to his purpose.

When they first heard that Gan Ning was going to do business, those people still looked incredulous, but after they made sure that Gan Ning was not joking, they were all overjoyed and expressed their willingness to be Gan Ning's first customer.

directly bought the boat in Gan Ning's hand, and was even willing to add more to the price given by Gan Ning. The only regret is that the people in this village and town have limited financial resources, even if the rich people in it take the initiative to contribute a lot of money, they can only buy two.

Then Gan Ning went to several other villages and towns, basically this effect, and when he arrived at the lair of a certain peer, looking at the ship hanging with Jinfan, the peer even thought that Gan Ning was coming to eat black, because of the prestige of the Jinfan thief, he directly took his younger brothers out of the village to surrender, intending to let Gan Ning slaughter.

After determining that Gan Ning was not here to find fault, but to go to Qingzhou, he was even more smiling, and scavenged his own village clean, and gave it all to Gan Ning, leaving Gan Ning's last two ships, and also claimed that the excess should be given to Gan Ning...

There is no way, no wonder these people are so happy, you must know that Gan Ning's Jinfan thieves are the most vicious group of water thieves on the Yangtze River, and even Zhou Tai of Jiujiang is not Gan Ning's opponent. Basically, as long as the villages and towns along the Yangtze River see Jinfan and hear the sound of bells, they know that Jinfan thieves are coming. The three words of Jinfan thief can almost make people frightened, and even those colleagues on the river trembled one by one when they heard it, not to mention other ordinary people?

It should be noted that Zhou Tai is similar to the official history, initially plundering in the river with Jiang Qin for a living, and later returned to Sun Ce, and helped Sun Ce attack Liu Xuan's camp. When Sun Ce captured Wu County, Zhou Tai and Sun Quan guarded Xuancheng, during which the bandits came to attack the city, Zhou Tai was stabbed 12 times to protect Sun Quan, and was seriously injured.

It can be said that Hua Tuo's medical skills are indeed quite good, especially in surgery, many famous ministers and generals in the Three Kingdoms period basically survived after being treated by Hua Tuo. Not to mention anything else, the most famous is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, and that Cao Cao, if he can keep Hua Tuo, maybe he can live for two more years, right?

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Although Gan Ning is a reckless character, he is not a fool, how can he not know what is going on with these people, plus when Gan Ning left, these people all had the same expressions as sending the plague god, which made Gan Ning not annoyed.

On the way back, Gan Ning's face was basically not better....

Listening to Gan Ning's complaints, Yan Shao couldn't help but chuckle, and even made Gan Ning complain. "Lord!"

Yan Shao's courtesy and virtuous corporal before really caught Gan Ning's heart, the so-called gentleman treats people sincerely, Yan Shao treats him so sincerely, how could Gan Ning not dare to move. If it were the past, who would dare to laugh out loud in person, even if it was the king of heaven, Gan Ning, he would pick up a knife and cut it without saying a word, and now he can only complain...

In this era, it is actually relatively simple to win people's hearts, as long as you have a sincere heart. People in this era pay attention to a letter of faith, especially for those who are confidants, and they are even more honest.

Taoyuan Sanjie is like this, and there are three visits to the thatched house...

Even when Sun Ce visited Zhang Hong, it was actually the same, this person was Zigang, a native of Guangling. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was a writer and strategist, and together with Zhang Zhao, he was called "Erzhang".

Zhang Hong traveled to Kyoto when he was young, and had studied the Book of Changes and Ouyang Shangshu with Dr. Han Zong, and went to Waihuang to study Han poems, Liji and Zuo's Spring and Autumn with Puyang Min, and then returned to the county, and was recommended as Maocai.

Later, Sun Ce heard about his reputation, and Sun Ce visited him several times and studied the general trend of the world with him. Sun Ce first expressed his opinion: "At present, the Han Zuo is in decline, the world is in chaos, and the heroes and heroes are all supporting the army and self-respecting, and each has its own development. No one is out of public interest to help the trouble. His father once broke Dong Zhuo with the Yuan family, but his exploit failed, and he was unfortunately killed by Huang Zu. Although I am young and knowledgeable, I have the heart to make a career. Now, I want to go to Yuan Shu and ask him to hand over my father's old ministry to me, and then go to Danyang (Xuancheng, Anhui) to rely on my uncle Wu Jing, collect scattered soldiers, and take revenge on Wu County (Wu County, Jiangsu) and Huiji (Shaoxing, Zhejiang) in the east, and become a foreign vassal subject to the imperial court. What do you think? ”

It's just that Zhang Hong was not willing to come out at that time, but just excused himself. "I see the simplicity, and besides, I am in mourning, and it is really difficult to help you in your affairs."

"Your name is well known. People from all over the world yearn for admiration. Whether or not I succeed in these plans is up to you to decide. You have to be straight with me. If my ambition is extended, and my vengeance is avenged, I will never forget the grace of your teachings. Speaking of emotion, Sun Ce unconsciously shed tears in his eyes.

It was this sincerity that finally moved this person and became one of Sun Ce's most important staff in the early days.

Sun Ce appointed him as the captain of the Zhengyi School, and later followed Sun Ce to conquer Danyang. Sun Ce personally came to the front line of the battle, and Zhang Hong advised: "The main general is the role of planning, and the fate of the three armies depends on him. I hope that you will cherish the talents bestowed upon you by God, conform to the wishes of the world, and do not let the whole country worry about your safety. ”

It can be said that in this era, as long as you are sincere enough, plus you have certain qualifications, at least let people see that you have the value of assistance, then the chance of going to the door several times and finally persuading the other party is still quite large.

———————————— Dividing Line——————————

Gan Ning was originally the kind of person who would repay his kindness, and Yan Shao was very good to him these days, and even slept with him and Zhao Yun a few times, which made Gan Ning die for him.

So even if he was a little joked, Gan Ning was not angry.

While he was talking, the thieves on board had already stepped out of the boat, leaving only the empty ship on the shore, and there were still people who had come to receive the ship not far away. Most of them are civilians, and a small number of them are Gan Ning's peers.

However, perhaps there was still a little fear of Gan Ning, these people did not get very close, but stayed in a distant position.

"Let's go, let's not go, it looks like they won't come forward to receive the ship..."Glancing at those who were also standing at least a few miles away, Yan Shao chuckled lightly and whipped away.

Gan Ning snorted coldly, very dissatisfied, but didn't say anything.

Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and the others looked at each other and smiled, and followed.

I have to say that it is indeed not easy to get the water thieves to change careers, at least looking at the twists and turns of the water thieves, Sun Guan feels that even if he only gives himself a hundred people, he can easily kill these water thieves. But he also knew that the other party was a water thief, and it was not surprising that he had such a performance, if it was in a water battle, he was afraid that these people might not be the opponents of these eight hundred sail thieves.

Fortunately, even if you don't know how to ride, it's much faster than walking, and after a while, Yan Shao and his party have disappeared on the shore, which makes the buyers in the distance a little confused.

"This brocade thief, is it really good?"

Looking at the dense horseshoe prints on the shore, a younger family was a little confused.

It stands to reason that there must always be some style of the family. It's a pity that these are useless in front of the Jinfan thief, the families of this era are different from the ones behind, and many of them are involved in business. Especially these families on the Yangtze River have a strong dependence on commerce, after all, if there is a waterway, it is very convenient to do business.

However, there is another big problem here, which is the water thief...

Just like there are bandits on the shore, there are also water thieves on the water, especially as the largest river basin in China, the water thieves on the Yangtze River are even more powerful, and there are countless of them.

Those are just small water thieves composed of homeless people, and the more professional ones are the real trouble. As a result, many families had to use strong force to escort them, and they spent a lot of money to deal with these water thieves, hoping that they could see the situation and let them go.

Generally speaking, they are willing to let go of a family that has a relationship.

First, because the other party has already given benefits, it is somewhat immoral to start at this time. In one case, the family's own armed forces are also very strong, and even if they do do it, the casualties are very large, just like the Yellow Turbans will swallow each other, and the same is true for the water thieves. If your casualties are too large, it's hard to say that you won't be dealt with by your peers.

It's better to take it when you see it, anyway, you've already reaped some benefits.

But Gan Ning is different, Gan Ning's temperament is difficult to guess, coupled with his high force value, these eight hundred brocade thieves are also the most elite water thieves on the Yangtze River. Basically, it is difficult for them to escape, whether it is a merchant ship or a water thief...

"I think you're confused..."Listening to the words of the young family, an older man next to him couldn't help but sneer. Haven't you heard who recruited Gan Ning this time? That's the princes of one side, this time they also made a name for themselves in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, with such a master, who would do any water thief..."

As soon as this statement came out, many people agreed.

At this time, the news of the Tiger Prison Pass has basically spread all over the country, and most of the people present now are some people with status, so it is naturally not difficult to know Yan Shao's identity.

As one of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and one of the strongest in strength and combat record, Yan Shao's current reputation is quite large, at least for these ordinary little people, it is already as big as the sun.

"Yes, if I can get such a master, I am also willing to join the army..."A water thief who was standing far away heard this, and also agreed, looking at the back of Gan Ning leaving, and faintly envious.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive, how many people would be willing to do this water thief with no future...

The water thief seems to be carefree, but he has to lick blood from the knife every day. When I was in the prime of life, it was fine, but when I got old, I couldn't cut it anymore, and then it was really...

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

Yan Shao and his entourage didn't know much about the discussions behind them, and after cleaning up a little, Yan Shao and his entourage had already embarked on the journey back to Qingzhou.

Unlike Beihai, which has been cleaned up by Yan Shao, at this time, some states and counties in the Central Plains still have many remnants of the Yellow Turban, and some even dare to attack the county seats, but this kind of thing is unimaginable in Beihai.

Fortunately, Yan Shao and his party looked very strong, and they were all cavalry. Although there were 800 newly transferred water thieves inside, who could only be regarded as infantry on horseback, those Yellow Turbans did not know this.

Don't think that the yellow turbans are all fierce and not afraid of death, maybe they were really strong when they were under Zhang Jiao at the beginning, even to the point of not being afraid of death. But the current Yellow Turbans can only be said to be a group of thieves under the banner of the Yellow Turban, and there is no faith at all.

It is precisely because of this that when they act, these Yellow Turban remnants usually pick targets, at least choose some targets that are easier to deal with, and those like Yan Shao who are not easy to deal with are basically the choices they exclude.

Naturally, there are a few who have little eyesight, but they are also easily solved...

"How far is it from Qingzhou now?" Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was about to get dark, Yan Shao glanced at Zhao Yun beside him and asked.

"Back to the lord, there is probably seventeen or eighteen days..."Zhao Yun replied with his fists in his fists, although he was running all the way, he still maintained a bearing, white robe and silver armor, and his aura was lofty, he was really the first person to be responsible for Yan Shao's account—————— by the way, the second was Tai Shici, the third was Gan Ning, and the fourth was Yan Shao.

There's no way, Zhao Yun is originally a character with good looks, and Tai Shici is also an extremely heroic one, as for Gan Ning? Well, it's hard to say. On the one hand, he is really dressed a little non-mainstream, and on the other hand, as a water thief, he is born with a rough temperament, and every day the wind blows and the sun is plugged, and his skin reveals a bronzed color. But because of this, it is quite masculine.

As for Yan Shao, although he has grown a lot over the years, it's a pity that his parents gave him his appearance, although Yan Shao's appearance is not bad, but there is really no way to compare with the above.

Well, compared with Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Wu Anguo, and even Sun Guan, Huang Zhongzhu and others, Yan Shao is still sure to win.

"Seventeen or eighteen..."Hearing this number, Yan Shao also sighed.

Maybe it wasn't much at first, but now, he really misses his family a little bit. Especially Lu Yan'er, the goblin, Yan Shao had just eaten him not long ago, and the freshness had not yet passed, and he missed it even more.

I have to say that Yan Shao is the first time he has seen a body that is familiar to such a degree, and he naturally misses it.

Just as he was talking, a horse rushed over next to him, and the knight on horseback was carrying a longbow more than one person long, but it was Huang Zhong.

"My lord."

"It's Han Sheng..."Looking at Huang Zhong, Yan Shao's face also showed a smile. How's it going, what's wrong with Xu'er? ”

Saying that, Yan Shao also glanced back at a carriage behind him, originally, according to the original plan, Yan Shao and they should have put Huang Zhong and Huang Xu together in a certain position on the shore, and by the way, they would leave some armor and some family assets, and wait until they recovered from their illness.

But Hua Tuo's medical skills are far more superb than imagined, and Huang Xu's recovery speed is beyond everyone's imagination, and when he arrives outside the boundary of Jingzhou, he has recovered to a considerable extent, although he is still a little weak, but he can already ride in a carriage—————— at least under Hua Tuo's care, there is no problem.

Originally, Huang Zhong cherished his beloved son and planned to stay by the river for some time, but during this time, Huang Xu admired Yan Shao, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning quite a lot, especially Gan Ning.

Perhaps for people like Huang Xu, who lie on the sickbed all year round, they yearn for a free and easy life, and they yearn for Gan Ning's life of 'working' on the river all the year round. That Gan Ning just lost to Huang Xu's father, so there is no arrogance at all, plus Huang Xu is very cute, and his mouth is also very sweet, so he is very loved by Gan Ning.

came and went, and the two got along very well.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Huang Xu doesn't like his father, he knows very well what his father has paid for his condition. However, for the sake of his son, Huang Zhong has been trapped in Nanyang for too long, and his daily life is very peaceful, basically a life of firewood, rice, oil and salt, which has experienced so much like Gan Ning, and he can say that he can talk about it for a long time if he picks out some of them, which naturally makes Huang Xu very pestering Gan Ning.

I was even more reluctant to learn that I was going to be separated from Gan Ning for a long time, and finally after some entanglement, I agreed to take him with me...

"It's a lot better..."Huang Zhong also hugged his fists. With Dr. Hua taking care of her, Xu'er's condition is improving quickly, and she should be able to walk freely on the ground in a few days..."

"Oh?!" Hearing this news, Yan Shao, Gan Ning and the others were all overjoyed.

It should be said that everyone loves Huang Xu, a child, and they are very happy about his improvement, just when everyone was talking and laughing, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and they saw a cavalry galloping quickly in front of Yan Shao, and the knight led by him turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee to report to the ground. "My lord, there is a group of people in front of me surrounding a carriage and are fighting!"

"Oh?" Yan Shao glanced at Huang Zhong and the others. "Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know, but looking at the costumes, it should be some thieves who are besieging them..."

These people also came back to report after a little inquiry, but they didn't know exactly who they were.

"Lord, what should I do?" Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun and the others looked at Yan Shao and asked.

Yan Shao did not answer them, but continued to ask. "How many thieves are there?"

"It's not a lot, it looks like there are only seventy or eighty..."Although it was only a hurried glance, it was the task of scouts to identify the number, and these people had roughly counted them.

"Forget it, let's do some good deeds along the way..."

Saying that, Yan Shao had already ridden his horse and rushed up, Huang Zhong and the others glanced at each other and followed.

Within a few minutes' distance, seventy or eighty ragged thieves were surrounding a carriage with swords in hand. There are also some samurai guards around the carriage, but the number is very small, only a dozen, although the martial arts look good, but compared with the thieves around, in fact, the strongest one is several points worse than Sun Guan, and after a fight, the number of samurai still alive has decreased sharply...

Mm-hmm, I'll make up for it later!!
