Chapter 265, Into the Mountains to Investigate
However, even if he knew that Yuan Shao's people did it, Zhao Yun didn't want to completely find out about this matter, Zhao Yun had discussed with Jia Xu before, and he must not start a war with Yuan Shao, in other words, for a long time, Zhao Yun did not have the time and energy to enter the Central Plains.
Jia Xu hoped that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao could become the two overlords in the north, and then start a fierce battle.
This time Zhao Yun participated in the battle against Yuan Shu, the significance is far greater than the reality, since he is loyal to the Han family, Zhao Yun must say that it is reasonable to participate in the war, but it is impossible to bring the army to Huainan.
At the same time, it is also to confuse Ma Teng and Han Sui, so that the two of them can continue to fight with confidence, so that Jia Xu can calmly lay out, and then seize the opportunity to pacify Liangzhou in one fell swoop.
Zhao Yun came to the Central Plains to make soy sauce, but obviously, someone didn't want him to go back alive.
Everyone was discussing in the tent, and after a while, Jing Bei hurriedly walked in, "Lord, grab a yellow turban messenger." ”
"Oh, bring someone here."
It didn't take long for Jing Bei to push a young military general and walked in, "Little Liu Hu, I've seen General Zhao." ”
Liu Hu is Liu Bi's son, last time Liu Bi was caught by Zhao Yun, Liu Hu was fortunate to see Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun nodded: "Liu Pi sent you?" ”
"My father asked me to bring General Zhao a secret letter." While speaking, Liu Hu took out a letter from his body a little nervously and handed it to Zhao Yun carefully.
Zhao Yun saw that he was a little nervous, and smiled and comforted, "Don't be restrained, the two armies are fighting, if you don't kill them, no one will hurt you." ”
I opened the letter and read it again, to the effect that Liu Bi wanted to cooperate with the outside and assist Zhao Yun in dealing with Gong Du.
Zhao Yun was silent for a while, then handed the letter to Gan Ning, and after Gan Ning read it, he was noncommittal, "Lord, be careful of deception." ”
Zhao Yun looked up at Liu Hu again, "So, does your father really intend to surrender to me?" ”
"Exactly, since General Zhao spared my father's life last time and returned to the cottage, my father has thought about it for a long time, he admires General Zhao very much, and he has also discussed with me, my father intends to return to the general, I can testify."
"You go back first."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and asked Jingbei to take Liu Hu out.
"Guys, what do you think?"
"Lord, this matter must not be careless, it must be investigated clearly, if Liu Pi pretends to surrender and deliberately leads us to the bait, it is not a joke, and now our opponent, in addition to the Yellow Turban Soldier, there is another Yuan Shao, and I don't know who Yuan Shao sent this time, and I hope that the Lord will be cautious and think twice."
"In this way, Xingba, you take a few people to check, what I'm most worried about now is whether the Runan Yellow Turban is secretly united with Yuan Shao's people."
"I'll go."
Gan Ning turned around and took the order.
Zhao Yun stood with his hands in his hands, turned around the tent, frowned and said to himself, "Who did Yuan Shao send this time?" Is it frustration, or Tian Feng? ”
If Yuan Shao's people and Runan Yellow Turban acted separately, it would be relatively easy to deal with, and if they joined forces, it would not be good.
Although Gan Ning was sent out to investigate, Zhao Yun had already vaguely guessed that they had joined forces.
Gan Ning took a few personal soldiers, changed into the ordinary fishermen's attire, and walked to the Black Dragon Mountain where the Yellow Turban is located in Runan, the Black Dragon Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the passage into and out of the mountain are guarded by the Yellow Turban soldiers, Gan Ning did not dare to get too close, turned around far away, and found that on the back of the Black Dragon Mountain, there is a river, the river is very deep, the upstream is connected with Rushui, there is a fishing village on both sides of the river, and the bank can see sporadic sampan boats floating on the river from time to time.
Gan Ning walked around for a while and found an old man fishing on the bank of the river near Heilong Mountain, so Gan Ning walked over.
"Hello, uncle, how is it, how is the harvest today?"
Gan Ning came to the old man's side and leaned over to take a look at the fish basket.
The old man was very proud, put the fishing rod aside for the time being, and said politely, "I am lucky today, and I have a dozen carp in my mouth." ”
"Shout, it's still a golden-tailed carp."
Gan Ning was taken aback, when Gan Ning was a water thief before, he didn't go down to the river to catch fish, the big river and big waves, Gan Ning came as freely, he hadn't caught any fish, he was naturally no stranger to this golden-tailed carp.
"Yes, don't say it, there are a lot of this kind of fish in this river, the meat is delicate, but it is a good thing to nourish and nourish the gods, no, Xiao Lao'er these days, I don't have to go to the market to sell it, there are people in the mountains who like to eat, and he is not a small leader, when I am lucky, I can also reward me with a lot of silver."
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and pointed to the Black Dragon Mountain behind him, "Uncle, are you saying that there are people on this mountain who want to eat the golden-tailed carp you caught." ”
"yes."
"Uncle, the people on this mountain are amazing, although I don't live here, but I also know that they are not simple."
Gan Ning deliberately pretended to be very cautious and kept his voice very low.
The old man nodded, "Who says it's not, but these people are very measured, they only rob the rich big households, and they are polite to us little people, this is not our fishing village, there are many fishers, and the people on the mountain not only do not embarrass us, but also buy the fish we catch at a high price." ”
As he spoke, the old man caught another golden-tailed carp.
Gan Ning frowned, thinking about it, he called a few relatives to his side, told a few words, and two people turned around and left, and when they came back, they brought a lot of wine and meat, and also caught a few wild games from nearby.
For Jinfan's brothers, whether they go into the mountains to hunt or go into the water to catch fish, they are all handy, and they can't hold them at all.
"Uncle, meeting is fate, you are fishing alone is also boring, it is better to drink some together, our brothers, maybe we will rely on your old man in the future, don't hide it from you, I am also a fisherman, these days are not easy to mix, we have no other skills, if it is really like you said that someone on the mountain collects your gold-tailed carp at a high price, I also want to get rid of your old man."
As he spoke, Gan Ning handed the cowhide bag containing the wine to the old man.
The old man was also very polite, and took the initiative to take out two golden-tailed carp from the fish basket, and Gan Ning skillfully set up a fire and roasted game.
The old man took a sip of wine and reminded, "Although there are a lot of golden-tailed carp in the river, they are very cunning, there are so many people in our village, they can't catch much in a day, if you really have the ability to catch it, then you will be rich, the leaders of the mountain like to eat this thing, no matter how much, they are willing to spend money to collect it." ”
