That's right, the fleet from Huaishui is the navy commanded by Gan Ning. The reason why Zhang Yi did not attack Sheyang and Yandu at the first time was mainly because of two plans, one of which was to let Ganning's navy go north along the coast, enter Huaishui from the mouth of the Huaishui Sea, and cut off the direct connection between Huaishui and the north and south.

After Gan Ning received Zhang Yi's order, he left some people behind, and sent a military report to Zhu Zhi and Lei Xu, who was guarding Wu County, according to the order, asking them to send Han Shizhong to the port to assist Meng Kang in building the harbor.

Because the dock has not been completely built, the sea ships cannot be built for the time being, and the only thing that Gan Ning can call on is the previous big ship. But it's good to walk along the coast in a big boat, it's almost winter, and there won't be too much wind and waves. So Gan Ning easily went to the Huaishui area, he stopped at a river bay near Yandu, and constantly sent small boats to inspect Huaishui, and notified him if there was any strange situation.

After waiting for several days, Gan Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed when he received that Chen Deng was actually transporting people to the north bank. He hurried over with his men, and when they had transported more than half of them, and when the army was on the south bank, he rushed over.

Gan Ning shouted at Pan Zhang on another big boat: "Brother Pan, you go to the north shore to arrest people!" ”

Pan Zhang is reckless and has a more anxious personality, so he prefers melee fighting. That's why Gan Ning gave him this task, and Pan Zhang also liked this task, so he immediately led people to land on the north shore and killed them.

Gan Ning said to Li Jun again: "Brother Li, the transport ship in Hanoi will be handed over to you!" ”

Li Jun also agreed, and then also led the fleet to pounce on the transporting ships.

Gan Ning himself leaned on the south bank, "Shoot arrows at the enemy!" ”

Most of the sailors under Gan Ning were old sailors of Zhang Yi and Sun, and it was easy to shoot arrows on the water, and the slight shaking did not affect their archery much. Arrows rained down and shot directly into Chen Deng and Yu Ban's army.

Chen Deng and Yu Ban suspended the transportation as soon as they discovered the Ganning Navy, and then protected the people and retreated back. They were at a loss against the boats with the women's wall, so they wanted to back off and stay away from the river.

However, Gan Ning came too fast, and before he could retreat far, Gan Ning came closer. The soldiers could only use their shields and weapons to fend off the arrows, and continued to retreat, only after a cup of tea did they escape the threat of the arrows.

Gan Ning saw that the enemy had withdrawn, so he began to pay attention to the actions of the other two.

It was easy for Li Jun to pack up the transport ships on the river, and as long as the ships were brought up, the ships would choose to surrender. They simply could not deal with heavily armed warships. It's just that the water level of Huaishui, which is gradually entering the dry season, has dropped a lot, and some places are too shallow for big boats to drive through, so Li Jun can only let small boats chase and drive these fishing boats back.

Pan Zhang's actions were a little troublesome, and after he went ashore, he took people to arrest them. However, catching people is a hard work, and it cannot be completed in a short time. However, fortunately, the people on the north shore did not have a strong ability to resist, and although there were many of them, almost all of them were ordinary people.

"Hurry up, get them all to me on the ship!" Pan Zhang stood on a high slope and kept shouting to his soldiers: "Send someone over again and arrest those who escaped for me." ”

After two hours of arrest, a general ran over, "My lord, our boat is full!" ”

Pan Zhang immediately said: "Go west along the Huaishui, enter Hongze Lake, go to Jiang Gongyi (Jiang Qin), and ask Boss Gan to send some more boats over!" ”

Tun will immediately board the boat and then follow the Huaishui to the west. After a while, another fleet came over, and Li Jun walked down from the ship, "Brother Pan, how many people have not been transported?" ”

Pan Zhang said: "About 30 ships need to be loaded!" I didn't expect Chen Deng to transport tens of thousands of people to the north, but there were not many people under my command, only about 30,000 people were captured, and the others were scattered. And the surrounding counties also knew the news, and we were discovered by their scouts, and I believe they will come back tomorrow. ”

Li Jun smiled and said, "We can't wait for tomorrow. We're going to reach Hongze Lake today, and we still have a mission! ”

"Then load the ship as soon as possible!" Pan Zhang said: "I already miss the previous fight! ”

"Then you should come back as soon as possible, let the soldiers come back, and after loading this batch of people, we will leave!"

Pan Zhang nodded and immediately gave orders to the others.

Li Jun boarded the ship again and left, and he went to find Gan Ning. Boarding Ganning's ship, "How's it going?" What was Chen Deng's reaction? ”

Gan Ning said: "Chen Deng retreated, I think he may stop for a while!" But it doesn't matter, he has no influence on the lord's plans. ”

Li Jun said: "The lord's plan is really incredible, don't talk about Chen Deng, even if he stays in the marquis, he won't think of the lord's plan." ”

"I would feel the same way!"

Another hour later, Pan Zhang's side was ready, and the three of them immediately converged and set off for the west.

Gan Ning came with the fleet, not only to cut off the connection between the north and south of Huaishui, but also to do more important things. This matter is Zhang Yi's second plan.

After Gan Ning entered Hongze Lake with the fleet, he easily found Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin greeted the three of them and held a banquet on the boat to entertain them. After a short meal, Jiang Qin said: "The lord ordered General Gan and General Pan to go south, and General Li should stay in the lower reaches of Huaishui and continue to block the connection between the north and south banks. ”

Gan Ning and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all nodded in understanding. Gan Ning and Pan Zhang can fight on the landing, but Li Jun can't, his ability to fight on land is not strong.

"No problem!"

Early the next morning, Li Jun left, returned to Huaishui with his fleet, and continued to complete the previous task, preventing Chen Deng from contacting the north bank of Huaishui. Gan Ning and Pan Zhang went south with Jiang Qin. to Dongyang County. Here they met Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi once again set up a banquet and invited everyone, the people at the banquet were not only Wei Wentong, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Pan Zhang, but also Liu Ye who came from Shouchun.

After drinking for a long time, Pan Zhang stood up and said: "Lord, I don't know when to attack Xuyi, I am willing to be a pioneer!" ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "You come from afar, rest for three days, recuperate, and after three days, we will be in Xuyi." ”

That's right, Zhang Yi's second plan is to take down the three or three county towns on the north bank of Huaishui. This plan can be said to be a conspiracy, which makes people unguardable. Because Zhang Yi's water army is too powerful, it is not something that Chen Deng can fight against at all. So even if he knew about Zhang Yi's plan, he still couldn't do anything.
