Jingzhou, Xiangyang City, a burly man walked quickly to the front of the state governor's mansion, and the guards at the gate saw this big man, and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "The villain has seen Zhao Zhonglang, and the envoy is already waiting in the mansion." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

This big man was Zhao Wu, who was sent by Zhang Liao to help Liu Biao, he nodded slightly to the guards, and strode into the state pastor's mansion.

In the governor's mansion, Liu Biao, who was fifty-three years old, was waiting, and when he saw Zhao Wu coming in to salute, he stroked his beard and said, "Zhao Zhonglang doesn't have to be polite, just sit." ”

Zhao Wu sat down, Liu Biao knew that he had a rigorous personality and didn't like cumbersomeness, so he immediately got straight to the point: "Today, Wenyuan sent a letter, saying that he wanted to borrow someone from me, Gan Ning Gan Xingba, do you know about this?" ”

Zhao Wu nodded without hesitation and said: "General Zhang wrote to me a month ago to ask me, I know that there are people in Jingzhou who are good at water warfare, and I said that there are many generals under Jun who are good at water warfare, but they all have to be reused, and it is difficult to leave, only Gan Ning has nothing to do, or can be borrowed." ”

Liu Biao bowed his head: "This is very good, Cai Zhang's second general is in charge of the navy, and Huang Zutun is in Jiangxia, they can't be left lightly, but Gan Ning is just right." ”

Zhao Wu didn't speak, Liu Biao asked a few more words with concern, and then said: "Zhao Zhonglang go down, I will arrange for someone to send Gan Ning to Qingzhou." ”

After Zhao Wu left, a woman came in behind the scenes, it was Liu Biao's wife, Mrs. Cai.

"Husband." Mrs. Cai frowned and said, "Husband really wants to borrow generals and others? ”

Liu Biao stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right, Zhang Wen is far from being compared to others, I was framed by Dong Zhuo, riding down Jingzhou alone, the future is bleak, the auspicious is unpredictable, I don't want to pass through Xuanyuan Pass, Zhang Wenyuan knows that I have a difficult road ahead, and borrowed me 800 fine horses to send me to Jingzhou, passing through Nanyang, I really encountered Yuan Shu's chaotic army, fortunately Zhao Wu was able to pass through Nanyang to Jingzhou, I have today, all Wenyuan's kindness and righteousness, now he just borrows a general, why not?" ”

Mrs. Cai couldn't help but say: "I see, why does my husband attach so much importance to Zhao Zhonglang, I just think that he is my husband's old department, but I don't want it to be borrowed by Zhang Wenyuan." ”

"Yes." Liu Biao said with emotion: "Wenyuan borrowed all the elite, Zhao Wu followed me in Jingzhou for several years, brave and good at fighting, 800 horsemen and countless thieves, but never asked for anything, did not form a party, did not engage in personal interests, only listened to my orders, and was a good general." ”

Mrs. Cai said: "Now that Jingzhou is safe, why doesn't the husband return Zhao Zhonglang to Zhang Wenyuan, it can be regarded as a success." ”

Liu Biao said angrily: "I think that Zhang Wenyuan lent Zhao Wu to me at the beginning, and once said that after settling Jingzhou, if you use it, you will treat it well, and if you don't use it, you will send it back, but now I am reluctant." ”

How did he not know Mrs. Cai's thoughts, Mrs. Cai's brother Cai Mao had secretly wooed Zhao Wu many times to no avail, so he wanted to transfer Zhao Wu away, but Zhao Wu is Liu Biao's only descendant force in Jingzhou now, which is completely different from the intertwined forces in other places, and is only loyal to Liu Biao, which has become his reliance on counterbalancing local forces, and he is really reluctant to return it to Zhang Liao.

……

The Yangtze River is rolling, flowing into the sea in the east, and the wide Guangling ferry port is crowded with people, facing the mighty river wind, waiting for the big ship to go south.

Since Cao Cao's conquest of Xuzhou Massacre, the scholars and people of Xuzhou have seen Tao Qian's incompetence and are in danger, fearing that Cao Cao's second attack on Xuzhou will be a catastrophe.

There were so many people heading south that there were not enough boats at the Guangling Ferry to wait.

In the crowd, there were two young men of about twenty-six or seventeen years old who were looking at the river, both of them were ordinary cloth clothes, and all their assets were just a burden for each other, obviously not from the big clan.

One of these two people is called Bu Qi, Zi Mountain, Xuzhou Xiapi State Huaiyin County people, the ancestor is the Zhou Dynasty Jin State Doctor Yang Shi, because of its mining in the Bu land, then to the step for the clan, after the step clan there is a step uncle, for the Confucius seventy-two disciples, the Qin and Han Dynasty Bu clan people have a general, to merit Huaiyin Marquis, the Bu clan became the Huaiyin clan, and even since the Later Han Dynasty, has declined, to the Bu Qi generation, is already a poor family.

The other person is called Wei Jing, Ziziqi, a native of Guangling County, Xuzhou, with extensive knowledge and talents, but his family background is also not good, and he is almost poor.

They all wanted to cross the river south for refuge, and when they met at the ferry, their words were quite speculative, and they knew that they had no fixed place for each other to reach Jiangzuo, so they made an appointment to go together and take care of each other.

Wei Jing looked handsome, looking at the rolling Yangtze River, quite a bit of high meaning, and sighed angrily: "The decline of the Han family, first there were yellow turbans in the state and county, and then Dong Zhuo scourged the court and forced the car to drive, and now the war is raging everywhere in the Kanto, and the military disaster has befallen Xuzhou, and even we have left our hometown, which is really a pity." ”

Compared with Wei Jing's flying posture, Bu Qi's expression was elegant and deep, and he also looked at the rolling Yangtze River, and said: "Xuzhou is the throat of the north and south, the thoroughfare of all directions, and the place of the four wars. ”

Wei Jing sighed and said: "Zishan is really insightful, and he can tell the reason in one word. ”

Bu Qiu shook his head and didn't say anything, Wei Jing looked at the crowd surging in front of him, his expression was a little more anxious, and he wandered back and forth: "I don't know when I will be able to cross the river by boat, waiting here like this is really worrying." ”

Bu Qi took out a book and sat down and said, "And wait patiently, read first to pass the time." ”

Wei Jing's eyes lit up: "That's very good." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw more than ten big ships coming on the river, Wei Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was busy pulling Buqi to get up, when he heard someone shouting in front of him: "There is war in Jiangdong, you can't go to Jiangdong!" ”

Immediately, the crowd was surging, and after the more than ten large ships docked, many people who had previously taken the boat to the south got off again, and the front was crowded into a ball, and it was extremely noisy.

Wei Jing was taken aback and hurriedly said, "I'll go to the front to investigate." ”

After a while, Wei Jing came back, looking worried, and sighed: "Zishan, Jiangdong can't go either, the imperial court ordered Yangzhou Assassin Shi Liu Miao and Yangzhou Mu Yuan Shu to fight each other, the war is also imminent, most of the people who went to Jiangdong have come back, and these dozen big ships will not go to Jiangdong anymore." ”

Bu Qi frowned and sighed slightly: "Could it be that there is no peaceful place in this world?" ”

Wei Jing said suddenly: "Brother Zishan, don't worry, I also heard that now Qingzhou Mu Zhang Liao has stabilized Qingzhou, and the people of Xuzhou have returned, Zhang Qingzhou is good at fighting, and the soldiers are strong and strong, this time it was he who repelled Cao Cao and killed Zhenrong, Qingzhou must be stable, we can't go south, how about simply going north to Qingzhou?" ”

"Qingzhou ......" Bu Qi groaned.

I don't want to be at this moment, there are several people walking towards the two of them, a young man in front of him has an extraordinary bearing, and several people behind him are all awe-inspiring, and at first glance they are either rich or noble people.

Wei Jing looked over vigilantly, and took two steps back: "Who are you waiting for?" ”
