Three days later, in the eyes of the guard general Che Zhou who was almost ecstatic, Liu Bei's whole army set out and left the city.

In addition to the 100,000 army, there are 120,000 Xuzhou people.

It is said that the people of Xuzhou were really abused by Cao Cao, and several conquests in Xuzhou were murderous, and if you want to talk about it in detail, there is a blood feud between the family and Cao Cao. Therefore, he has a good impression of Liu Bei, who fights with Cao Cao at every turn.

Now that I inquired, Uncle Liu Huang was really leaving, these ordinary people couldn't sit still, and selected a few of the oldest to see Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, take us with you." ”

In your view, the people's heart is an incomparably precious thing. If the people under your rule are willing to give their hearts to you, then you must hold them well. other

Liu Bei has always taken benevolence, righteousness and love for the people as his brand label, how can he say no? Therefore, in the face of the near-collective opposition of his subordinates, he still gave the order to set out with the people.

Why is there almost a collective opposition? Because there was one person who did not express any objection from the beginning to the end.

Don't say anything else, this time you go to the south of the Yangtze River, and if you are not familiar with the place, you will bring one or two hundred thousand of your own people to settle down, which is equivalent to one or two hundred thousand mouths that are obliged to promote for yourself. Let those people in Jiangnan see - why do those who abandon their families and fathers follow the emperor's uncle? Benevolence and righteousness! It still has a miraculous effect on winning the hearts and minds of the people.

You Ye and Liu Bei summed up and decided to select more than 30,000 old and weak among the more than 100,000 horses, commanded by Sun Qian and Mi Zhu, who were responsible for protecting the people in the rear army and escorting the baggage.

The remaining 70,000 people, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Jian Yong, led 50,000 troops to the Chinese army, and Zhang Fei and Gan Ning led 20,000 people to serve as the front army.

Your grandfather himself is in charge of the former army.

Because there are too many people, and there are many old and weak among the people, Liu Bei's battle line is extremely long, and they are all about to arrive in Guangling, and the rear army has just left Xuzhou.

Guangling Taishou Chen Deng had already received Liu Bei's letter, and when he saw that his soldiers and horses had arrived, he personally went to meet him outside the city gate. He and Zhang Fei are old acquaintances, and now that the two have met the ceremony, Zhang Fei introduced you to your grandfather, Gan Ning and Chen Deng.

Chen Deng is also a child of a family, plus he is extraordinary, and the whole person is very arrogant, and ordinary people are not in their eyes, such as Gan Ning, although he is now known as a knight of Jinfan, and has proud achievements such as defeating Sun Ce, Zhan Sanxiong, and killing Ji Ling, but in Chen Deng's eyes, he is just a water thief who has just landed, so he nodded reluctantly and ignored it.

But for your grandfather, he really doesn't dare to slack off - although he prides himself on being talented, in front of Cao Cao, he also has to accompany some caution, just this Guangling Taishou, theoretically Cao Cao's subordinates. But your lord can point to Cao Cao's nose and scold!

Although he is arrogant, he is not a stupid person, and he is not as bold and eloquent as Youheng, but he will not be arrogant.

At that moment, the two politely greeted each other, and Chen Deng asked his subordinates to take the troops to the prepared barracks for resettlement first, and he came to invite the three of you, saying that the Taishou Mansion had arranged a banquet and wanted to wash the dust for the three of them.

Although your grandfather has been on the road for a few days and the saddle horse is tired, he still stopped Chen Deng with a smile at this time, and said in his mouth: "When I used to be in Xudu, I heard about Brother Yuanlong Huhai Haoshi for a long time, and I only hated fate. See you today, it's comforting! If it was in the past, drinking and discussing the Tao with my brother, it was really a wonderful thing that I couldn't ask for. But now, since you want to help Xuande Gong achieve great things, you don't dare to care only about your own selfishness. Now I, Yide and Xingba are leading the front army, but we want to grab a piece of territory on the opposite side first, so that the robes who will come later can gain a foothold. The so-called soldiers are fast, so they have to go against Mr. Yuanlong's good intentions, so I just wait for me to stand in Jiangnan, and then it is not too late to come to Mr. Yuanlong's banquet. ”

He doesn't call him Taishou, he only calls his brother by his words, which means that I don't care about your official position, I just look at you as a person. How smart is Chen Deng? Listening to the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, I immediately understood your intentions. Although the invitation was declined, he was very happy in his heart, and felt that your grandfather was frank and unpretentious, and he was really an extraordinary person.

Of course, your grandfather called him "a hero of the lake and the sea", which also made Chen Deng feel satisfied. This was Liu Bei's evaluation of Chen Deng in the romance, but now the copyright was stolen by your grandfather in advance, and he immediately swiped out a lot of favorability.

At that moment, Chen Deng arched his hand and said: "Zhengping is really the capital of the countryman, admire and admire!" A ferry boat and other things on the riverside are all ready to board, and they can be used at any time! But Deng Shang has a word to tell! ”

When you heard that the boat was ready, he was very happy, and hurriedly said, "Brother Yuanlong, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Chen Deng pointed to Jiangnan: "Then Sun Ce was ordered by you to be a villain before, and his reputation fell sharply, but after all, his Sun family has deep roots in Ye Mao, and his subordinates can also be called soldiers and generals. ”

Before you could answer, Zhang Fei was already anxious, and shouted: "Mr. Yuanlong, Sun Ce'er is a soldier and a brave soldier, could it be that I and my fourth brother are useless people?" ”

Chen Deng laughed and said repeatedly: "How dare you dare, the courage of Yide, who in the world does not know?" Chen's words are just a reminder to Zhengping that everything must be prevented before it happens. I know more about the marching combat wing than I do, and when I know it, I am not afraid of a strong enemy in front of me, but I am afraid of the villain's plot. ”

Speaking of the word villain, Chen Deng bit quite heavily.

Your grandfather stared at Chen Deng thoughtfully, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Yuanlong for reminding me, junior brother should be careful." At this moment, it is not early, and our army will go to Jiangdong! When the war is settled, you must have a few more drinks with your brother! ”

When Chen Deng saw what you meant, he should have understood his own hint, and he also laughed: "Deserve it!" In this way, if you don't dare to mistake your deeds, please set off. ”

He did not go into the city either, but took them all the way to the river, got on the boat, and waited until the boat was off the shore, and then he said goodbye.

Your grandfather knew that no matter how careful he was in the war, he immediately sent people to each cabin to carefully explore, hundreds of small boats were no different, dozens of large boats, but they were all loaded with a lot of grain and grass, and he couldn't help but be even more grateful to Chen Deng.

In ancient times, the water surface of the Yangtze River was wide, far from being comparable to today, and when I passed the center of the river, I looked back, and the figures of all the people in Guangling were gone. After a while, they had arrived in Guazhou, and the sergeants on the ferry, seeing from afar the boss and a fleet of boats approaching, all shouted and cheered.

"Gan Ning! Thou hast taken five hundred sails as a pioneer and taken this ferry! "As soon as you saw the situation, you immediately ordered.

"Whoa!" Although the two of them have a big and small quarrel on weekdays, but when they really go to the battlefield, Gan Ning is still very obedient and very high. At that moment, he sang a song and jumped off a small boat, which only shook slightly, and then stopped again. On the seventy or eighty boats of the nearby generation, it was where the five hundred members of his Jinfan Army were located.

Zhang Fei could see clearly on the pergola on the big boat, and suddenly shouted: "Fourth, oops, their Sun family's boat has also sailed out." ”

Gan Ning ignored it, and suddenly tore off his armor and threw it on the board, revealing a shiny body of tendon flesh, and turned around and shouted to his five hundred brothers: "My lord Liu Bei, if you want to take this Jiangnan as the foundation, the first battle across the river will be handed over to our Jinfan Army!" This is my Gan Ning's face, and it's the face of all of you! If you are willing to follow Gan Mou's achievements, and face the enemy later, don't let me see those who are weak and afraid of death! ”

Jin Fan Jun laughed together, and someone shouted: "The ...... of the big boss" was then covered by the brothers next to him: "Call the general!" "General Gan, my generation has been fighting with you for many years, have you ever dropped the chain?" Everyone shouted together: "When you become a general, there will be a lot of nonsense, and you will kill them together!" "That's it!"

Gan Ning laughed: "Okay! It is worthy of being an old brother with a brocade! Since you think I'm talking a lot of nonsense, I won't talk about it, let's talk about military merit on the blade! Kill with Lao Tzu! ”

Those Jinfan soldiers were all good at the water, and at this moment their blood was boiling, and they snatched the oars in the hands of the boatmen, rowed hard, and seventy or eighty small boats, like seventy or eighty sharp arrows off the string, flew straight towards the Sun family's fleet.
