Ma Chao led the army south along the Han River, temporarily stationed in Wudang, waiting for Pang De, but he didn't want to run out of food, but Ma Chao didn't dare to order the army to rob the people, if Xun Gang knew, he would definitely refuse to take him in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt this time of crisis, Pound led dozens of people and drove a small boat up the river.

Pang De visited Ma Chao, indicating that Xun Gang was willing to contain Ma Chao and sent five hundred grains, Ma Chao said with great joy: "If it weren't for Xun Jingzhou, I would have almost made a mistake!" ”

Xun Gang's inadvertent move made his status in Ma Chao's heart rise a lot in an instant; After all, there are very few people who can take into account their own difficulties. Ma Chao asked people to raise the army and walk towards Xiangyang.

The journey was uneventful, but because the northern troops had never crossed the river by boat, there were many people who vomited and fell ill, and countless people fell into the water and drowned. Even with the support of grain and straw, Ma Chao's original 5,000 people only had more than 3,000 left.

In this situation, Ma Chao was sad and secretly vowed to kill Liu Bei and avenge his father and brother!

Walking to Zhuyang, the army encountered a fork, the river was rushing, and a faint murderous aura came from the depths, and Ma Chao felt a chill down his spine, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers under his command to move forward quickly and cross this place.

Walking into the river, suddenly a group of people and horses flew out of the mouth of the river, sprinkled with hundreds of people, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, the ship ornaments were splendid, and the brilliance was brilliant. The first person wears bird feathers on his head, wears a bell at his waist, and wears a splendid costume that looks similar to a wealthy businessman.

Ma Chao looked at this person directly, and suddenly felt that this person was extraordinary in courage and temperament, and it was expected that this person must not be an ordinary river thief, but he thought that he should not make extraneous branches, and he did not want to communicate with him more.

Seeing that Ma Chao ignored him, he ordered the people on the shore to throw debris into the water and block Ma Chao's way. Ma Chao was furious and asked, "Who are you, and why are you in my way?" ”

The man didn't answer, but smiled at the little guy behind him: "This person traveled on the river, but when he saw the gorgeous clothes and brocade sails and the bells were pleasant, he didn't know who I was, was he really a Jingyi person?" ”

Ma Chao frowned, but still said quite angrily: "We are from Liangzhou, we used to be stationed in Yizhou, and now I want to go to Xiangyang to visit Jingzhou Thorn History, since we are brothers on the road, can we make it convenient?" ”

"Brother on the road?" The man had a playful smile on his face, and the bell on his waist rang movingly, "Tell me, who is your name, and you dare to call me a brother?" ”

This person's words were quite contemptuous, and I don't know why, Ma Chao still chose to endure and said: "Ma Chao in Xiaxi Liangjin." ”

"You are the famous Jinma Chao?" The man feigned surprise.

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, could it be that this person had heard his name? If so, there would be a lot less to do today.

"Exactly!"

Suddenly, the man's color changed, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and he said with a smile: "It's just right to come, I'm Gan Xingba for many years, and now I'm back in Jinfan, and it's not okay not to grab a celebrity!" If you weren't Ma Chao, I wouldn't rob it! ”

Gan Ning, the word Xingba, a person from the river in Ba County, a young ranger, robbing the river, gathering a light and thin teenager, specializing in robbery, with bird feathers on his head and bells on his waist. Gan Ning was quite luxurious when he robbed, he had a brocade sail under his hand, the ship was luxuriously decorated, and when the ship was parked, it was tied to a splendid ship, and it was cut off and abandoned when it left, showing luxury, and the people of the time called it a brocade sail thief.

However, Gan Ning is also quite praised, although he is a thief, but he is good to make friends with heroes and celebrities, if you are honest with each other, Gan Ning is willing to go to the soup; But if you despise him, he will rob your whole house. That's right, that's how hooligan.

However, when Gan Ning was twenty years old, he washed his hands in a golden basin, and returned home to familiarize himself with Zhuzi and learn both civil and military skills. Later, he lived in Huang Zu, and this time Huang Zu surrendered, and Gan Ning also returned to Xun Gang's command. Originally, Gan Ning made many meritorious achievements under Huang Zu, but he was still not reused, and now he wanted to take the opportunity to break away from Xun Gang, but he never thought that Xun Gang would meet Gan Ning, and immediately crowned him as a Zhonglang general, and gave him 3,000 troops to command.

As I said before, if you treat Gan Ning well, Gan Ning will repay you tenfold; Since then, Gan Ning has been loyal to Xun Gang and repaid Xun Gang's kindness. This time he came out to block Ma Chao's road, which was Xun Gang's strategy; He wants Ma Chao to know that there is a sky outside the sky, don't think that he is arrogant because he is the boss, there are more people who are more powerful than him!

Ma Chao was furious when he heard this, and immediately felt that he was being tricked by this guy, so he wanted to fight with him; But the Liangzhou army and horses are not familiar with water warfare, so wouldn't such a frivolous attack kill themselves?

However, Gan Ning received Xun Gang's request, that is, not to hurt Ma Chao's soldiers, otherwise the three thousand Liangzhou soldiers and horses under Ma Chao who are not accustomed to water warfare will be his Gan Ning's opponents? Gan Ning only used a few hundred people, and relied on their talent in water warfare to clean up Ma Chao.

"Wait! I see that there is nothing of value in your army, and I will not rob the master who has no money; You and I fought on this river, and if you won, I will give all my sails; If you lose, I don't want anything from you! ”

Ma Chao thought to himself that there are such cheap things in the world? And since he calls himself a brocade thief, this brocade must be of great significance to him; Could it be that he is really 100% sure of defeating himself?

Ma Chao was just about to respond, but Ma Dai hurriedly dissuaded: "Meng Qi, the enemy's origin is unknown, and it is really unwise for us to rush into battle!" ”

"The road is blocked, and we have no other way but to fight. Besides, such a thief is just robbing a few merchants, how can he be presumptuous when he meets me Liangzhou Jinmachao? ”

So Ma Chao didn't listen to Ma Dai's words, and only drove a small boat out of battle; Gan Ning smiled slightly and drove a light boat out of the ranks. Ma Chao boarded the ship to fight, but he never thought that it would be extremely difficult for him to drive the ship himself for the first time. The handsome horizontal gun posture that had just been done didn't last long, and Ma Chao messed up with himself, and the light boat also shook with the waves.

"Jinma is not good at water warfare, won't you let me take advantage?"

Gan Ning laughed, and flew directly into the water from his own clothes, and then took a leap, splashed waves, and landed on Ma Chao's boat. Seeing that the enemy was so agile, Ma Chao hurriedly swung his gun to meet the battle, but he didn't want Gan Ning to hold two daggers and easily meet the battle. The battle between the two became hot, and Ma Chao gradually adapted to the shock of the ship, and it became easier to deal with Gan Ning.

The martial arts of both sides are comparable, Ma Chao is calm, and the spear is out of battle, like a silver lion dancing; Gan Ning is light and agile, and the two sharp blades are in harmony with the breeze, like two geese clamping Ma Chao to death.

Ma Chao secretly praised: "This thief is excellent in martial arts, although he has a geographical advantage now, but if he fights a decisive battle immediately, I am afraid he will not lose me!" ”

Gan Ning was also quite surprised by Ma Chao's combat power: "It is really rare for a northern general to be able to control the water war so quickly, it is really not to be underestimated!" ”

Gan Ning knew that there would be a stalemate if he continued like this, and suddenly he had an idea, and suddenly shuttled into the water, Ma Chao was startled, and before he could react, the boat began to shake vigorously. It didn't take long for Ma Chao's center of gravity to be unstable, and he fell into the water with a "poof"; Ma Chao didn't understand water, and when he fell into the water, he completely lost his combat effectiveness, so Gan Ning took advantage of the situation and captured Ma Chao.

When Ma Dai and Pang De saw that Ma Chao was captured, they wanted to come forward to save him, but they didn't want to be blocked by Gan Ning's men; Gan Ning took Ma Chao onto the boat, and Ma Chao hurriedly told his subordinates to stop and not to hurt each other's lives.

Gan Ning did not ask anything from Ma Chao according to the previous agreement, although Ma Chao knew that Gan Ning had an advantage before he could capture himself, but he had no complaints in his heart, and said sincerely: "I was rude, I didn't expect the Jinfan thief to be really powerful, this time I lost!" ”

Gan Ning laughed, he seemed to like Ma Chao's daring attitude, so he said: "General Ma Chao is polite, in the next is actually under the command of Xun Jingzhou, Xun Jingzhou ordered to come to meet the general, but in the next Su heard the name of the general, so he intended to give it a try, Jin Ma Chao really deserves his reputation!" ”

"I see!"

So the two abandoned their previous suspicions and went straight to Xiangyang. Xun Gang saw Ma Chao, saw his sincere attitude, and knew that he was subdued by Gan Ning, so he temporarily made him a lieutenant general of the founding army.

When listening to the water battle between Ma Chao and Gan Ning, Xun Gang deliberately pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Jin Ma Chao vs. Jin Fan thief, the battle between the two brocade is really shocking to the world!" It's better for the two of you to become brothers, and in the future, you will send troops outside and shake Kyushu! ”

The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and they became brothers with different surnames under the auspices of Xun Gang, and the good story of "two brocades" spread all over the world.

Naturally, Xun Gang let the two become brothers, which completely cut off the back road of Ma Chao's rebellion. For Gan Ning, Xun Gang heard about his deeds, so he trusted him; If Ma Chao betrays himself, it is equivalent to betraying Gan Ning, and he will inevitably be spurned by the world.

Suddenly, Xun Gang was famous in Jingzhou, with countless customers, and suffered from Cao Cao's suspicions......
