Chapter 291: Negotiations Under the Gun

Xiakou Port

Xiakou Port is called the port, it is actually a small city, two or three miles around this city, it is named Xiakou City because it faces the summer water entering the river mouth across the river,

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan mostly led the army to defend the clan, and his military status was very prominent. However, with the change of time and the relocation of the location of the military town, he gradually lost his strategic position, and then lost the prosperity he deserved.

Although this small city dominated by fishermen from rivers and lakes is not as enchanting as Wang Jing, it also has its own tranquility, and this tranquility and sweetness are also the wonderful places that make the yellow hair hanging down in this small city.

merely

Just today, when the sky was just dawning and the fog on the river had not completely dissipated, this hard-won tranquility was broken by a fleet of ships that seemed to break out of the fog.

The fishermen on the shore, barefoot, bare-shouldering their backbones and preparing to untie the cables tied to the shore, rocking their own flat boats and planning to ride away in the wind, were all dumbfounded.

Who has ever seen a ship that big!

Because there was still a thick fog on the river, even the fishermen could only see the whole picture of the big boat, and they could only see the head of the ship, which was as tall as a building, with a wide bottom, the bow of the ship raised and opened, the tail towering, and the thick mast supporting the sails that covered the sky and the sun on six sides, was wantonly breaking through the Yangtze River, and slowly sailing towards them, and the left and right sides of the ship each opened twenty square window holes, and the inside was all black holes facing the shore.

And this is only the first one in front, there are at least a dozen huge ships like this from a distance, stretching out on the river surface in a row, compared with the small sampan in the hands of the fishermen, it is like a bend next to the bright moon in the water, floating a few withered yellow leaves,

How dare these fishermen stay any longer? One by one, they couldn't take care of the cables in their hands, and as soon as they threw them into the water, they beat gongs and drums and went to the small city to warn.

On the bow of the ship, a general is standing proudly on his waist, with a crotch knife in his right hand, overlooking this small city by the Yangtze River.

This is none other than Liu Can, the Yangtze River sailor!

According to General Yi's plan, as early as many days ago, Liu Can took the 5,000 men and horses lent to him and ruthlessly placed his old boss, Admiral Zheng Yuan, the commander of the Yangtze River Navy, near Yanziji.

It's not that Zheng Yuan is good at cooking, the main thing is that his entire Yangtze River Naval Division is only 3,000 people, and the naval division was moored in the port at that time, where can he stand up to the siege of the 5,000 Shaanxi soldiers and horses in Liu Can's hands who have been baptized by the three Lanzhou battles?

In addition, Liu Can is a complete "inner ghost", the various locations of the military camp and the location of Zheng Yuan's tent are no more familiar than him, and the battle has ended in less than an hour.

In addition to the killing of Zheng Yuan, the commander of the Yangtze River Navy, the rest of the Yangtze River Naval Division fled with more than 1,000 people, and the rest of the troops were all in the hands of Liu Can.

According to the previous agreement with General Yi, Liu Can also took the sailor in his hand all the way up the river from Yanziji to Xiakou Port.

"Order, flotilla dock, plank, anchor!"

For Liu Can, commanding the five thousand soldiers is far less handy than mobilizing more than a dozen giant ships, and with a few orders, a whole dragon winding on the river is obediently entrenched on the shore.

Then, the wide planks stretched out from the side of the ship and put them on the dock on the shore, and one after another the sailors and Shaanxi soldiers walked out of the giant ship and lined up on the shore.

The person who went to the appointment was quite punctual, but this time it seems that the invitee missed the appointment.

Liu Can, who was standing at the bow of the boat, stared at the small city of Xiakou with round eyes, except for the dilapidated ones, there were some ruins that could not be called the city wall, and he did not see the figure of General Yi or Shaanxi soldiers and horses, as if Liu Can, who held the Yangtze River Naval Division in his hand, was more anxious than General Yi.

"You guys, keep an eye on the city, I'll go to the cabin to rest for a while, and call me if there's any movement."

"Yes!"

Liu Can casually pointed to the two sailors beside him and commanded, then turned around and stabbed himself into his cockpit.

Hurried all the way, I didn't expect to be able to rest when I got to the place, Liu Biao thought like this, and turned over and lay on his back on the big red cedar bed that Zheng Yuan was originally exclusive to.

Red cedar is a kind of wood produced in the western part of Daxia, the biggest function is anti-corrosion and moisture-proof, with this red cedar to beat the bed, as long as it is properly handled, even if it encounters the continuous rainy weather on the river, people lie on it is also a dry and soft feeling, it is very comfortable.

"Hey, it's still that General Zheng will enjoy it." Liu Can is also big enough, leaning on the bed, and he was a little confused to find that Zhou Gong.

But just before he raised his hand to say hello to Old Man Zhou, he was startled by a sound of slamming the door.

"Bang bang!"

Wake up and breathe, it seems that it does not increase or decrease depending on the length of sleep, Liu Can was just stunned for a while, and after being woken up by this rough knock on the door, the angry expression on his face was definitely no less than waking up a hibernating bear,

He turned over and got up from the bed, took two big strides to the door, pulled the wooden door open with a "hula", and scolded outside: "Damn! Didn't Lao Tzu teach you to knock on the door with your hands? You guys........ What does that mean? ”

It's just that after the menacing Liu Can saw the scene outside the door, the furious bear instantly turned into a dumb cannonball, and after a few wisps of white smoke, there was no sound behind him.

However, the two Shaanxi army colonels outside the door, one of whom was carrying a waist knife, said coldly to him: "On the order of Uncle Jingyuan, after landing at Xiakou Port, all the generals of the Yangtze River Naval Division will disembark and will not stay, General Liu, please!" ”

Liu Can looked at the back of the two of them, followed by the two soldiers, one of them holding a steel knife in one hand, holding the two sailors who had just commanded casually, and the two sailors with sharp blades were trembling.

"You ....... You guys! ”

Liu Can you for a long time, looking at the cold faces of the two little colonels, and holding back what he wanted to say, the steel knives were set up at the door, although he still asked him to go down, if he talked nonsense, he would be invited to go down like these two sailors.

"Please!"

The two colonels held steel knives and followed closely behind Liu Can,

As soon as Liu Can turned out of the cabin, he saw that the men and horses of the original sailors on the deck had been gathered in groups of three or five, squatting in the corner, and many soldiers of the Shaanxi army were patrolling back and forth vigilantly with steel knives in their hands like the two behind him.

It's over, it's over,

Liu Can felt that his eyes were black, and his heart was bitter,

At the beginning, he proudly felt that he borrowed the east wind of King Huai and General He Yi to clean up Zheng Yuan and take the Yangtze River Water Division, and along the way, he was still thinking about how to bargain with King Huai to redeem Mrs. Liu safely, and then smear oil on the soles of his feet, and from then on, Jiaolong entered the sea, and all ports along the Yangtze River, including Jinling City, under the fire of his sailors, it was all useless, just waiting to lie in the cabin every day and watch the envoys of King Yong and King De come to send silver to themselves.

Which Cheng thought that General Na Yi sent him was not only a gust of east wind, but also a tornado, and he was now clean and slippery all over his body, not to mention the bargaining chips for negotiation, and he was probably not even qualified to go to the negotiation table with King Huai and General Yi.

I really didn't have any room left for me!

Liu Can cursed secretly in his mouth, but he didn't dare to slow down half a step under his feet, and walked through the dock to the shore before he stopped.

"What? Are you General Yi going to leave us all here waiting to feed the fish? ”

Liu Can watched as all the brothers of the sailor were driven to the shore one by one, and asked the two colonels angrily.

"General Liu is too worried, and he is a great hero who helped us to recruit the Yangtze River Water Division, I can't bear to take you to feed the fish."

When Liu Can heard the prestige, he saw a group of people walking towards him not far away, and on the left and right were the Huai King Gao Ciyi and the Yi General he saw that day.

It's just that the difference is that the King of Huai is the same as General Yi, dressed in plain robes, but at the head of a python robe, jade belt, and a tall horse.

Of course, Liu Can, who had just been "invited" by the bluff and "invited" down, did not have any good color, and he glanced at King Gao Cixun, who was walking in front, with his eyes, his eyes rolled, and he said with this face: "General Yi, what do you mean by this, I am loyal to the prince of Yong, and I will go to Yanziji to regain the water master from Zheng Yuan's hands, and you can't help but say that I will drive all my brothers in the Yangtze River water division to the case, are you afraid that I will rob you of your credit!" ”

Obviously, this Liu Can regards Gao Cixun as King Yong.

"Hahaha!"

After listening to his words, An Yi laughed loudly, until Liu Can, who was the one who laughed and sued first, felt a little weak in his heart, and then said to him: "I said General Liu, next time you want to show loyalty, you must remember to find out the situation first, I invited you brothers down naturally for my reasons, don't you have to go far to meet His Royal Highness King De?" ”

"What? Morality...... King of Germany? You're not ........"

Liu Can felt a "buzz" in his head, and it seemed that the blood and qi were surging up and blocking the * for a while.

King of Germany? Didn't you say that King Yong sent it before? So ....... is King Huai? ...... is General Nayi?

When he thought about this General Yi, his whole body suddenly shook like a lightning strike, and he suddenly woke up.

General Yi! What General Yi! Isn't that the Northwest ...... At ease!?

"You...... Are you comfortable? Liu Can almost blurted out,

"Presumptuous!"

King De in front frowned, "How can you call Uncle Jingyuan's name casually?" Come on, drag him down for me, so that he can be taken care of! ”

"Yes!"

In response, the two Shaanxi army colonels set up Liu Biao's immobile body as if he had really been struck by lightning and dragged him to the army.

"Liars, liars, you're all fucking liars!"

Liu Can screamed like a madman, and was dragged farther and farther away with the pace of the two small schools.

Gao Cixun, including An Yi and Gao Ciyi, as Liu Can was dragged away, his eyes couldn't help but turn to the Yangtze River sailor who was parked in the river not far away.

To be honest, let alone comfort, even the two brothers, Gao Cixun and Gao Ciyi, are the first time to have such a close contact with the only water dragon in the Great Xia Dynasty, and their shock makes these three sons and brothers who are not from ordinary backgrounds sigh, so much so that it reminds people of Qin Wuyang, who followed Jing Ke and trembled in front of the Qin Palace.

"It's really magnificent, just like a small city like Xiakou, I don't know if I can stop this fleet from firing ten thousand guns!"

Gao Cixun sighed, turned his head and smiled at An Yi: "Uncle Jing Yuan really gave me a big gift, from now on, there will be no Yangtze River in the Great Xia Dynasty!" ”

An Yi also smiled at him, and replied pointedly: "No, presumably the King of Chu will think like this when he sees this fleet." ”

Gao Cixun quickly understood what An Yi meant, nodded and asked him, "According to Uncle Jing Yuan, is it time to talk to my Uncle Wang?" ”

"Talk?"

An Yi's eyes flashed with a confident light, and he waved his hand quite heroically in the direction of Wuchang,

"What to talk about? Beat! He hurt and naturally came back to talk to us! ”
