After Gan Ning dealt with Zhang Hu's affairs, he ordered the incorporation of Zhang Hu's naval army, and he obtained 3,000 skilled naval troops in this battle, so that the number of this team reached 13,000 people, and this is not the biggest gain, the biggest harvest is that Gan Ning obtained more than 300 warships left by Zhang Hu this time, including two building ships, 20 fighting ships, more than 100 ships, and nearly 200 searches such as Xiandeng, Chima, and scouts, plus Gan Ning's original ships, enough to equip a huge naval army of 30,000 people, This will definitely be extremely important in the future with Sun Ce to compete for Jiangdong.

In addition, there are also a large number of grains, grasses, ordnance, armor and other materials piled up here, which can be said to be a relief in the snow for the Ganning army who rushed here lightly.

Gan Ning immediately ordered someone to accept these materials, and then, according to Liu Qi's order, took out two percent, transported them to Yi County on the other side of the river, sent someone to Huang Zu, who was sitting in Xiling, the seat of Jiangxia, and handed over to Huang Zu the letter that Liu Qi had already written to Huang Zu about requesting the army to temporarily station in Xiaqi.

A few days later, when Gan Ning saw the soldiers who escorted the supplies returning, all of them were full of joy, because Huang Zu not only accepted the materials happily, but also rewarded them generously, and Gan Xing, a personal soldier, sent Huang Zu's letter to Gan Ning. Gan Ning opened the letter and looked at it, Huang Zu not only agreed that Gan Ning led the army to station in Xiapheasant, but also praised him warmly, praising him for cutting off the water thief Zhang Hu and relieving Jiang Xia of a major disaster, and said that if there is anything to help in the future, just open your mouth to speak.

In fact, where does Gan Ning know? In the first few days, Huang Zu received a letter from his brother Huang Chengyan, saying that Huang Chengyan's daughter Yueying said goodbye a few months ago, and she disguised herself as a man, and when she arrived in Liu Qi's army, she was now very valued by Liu Qi and was named a captain, and at the same time, her daughter also sent him a letter, claiming that she was very satisfied with Liu Qi and would marry him as a concubine. On the one hand, Huang Chengyan is for his daughter, and on the other hand, he can't get used to Cai Mao's practice of abolishing the long and young, so the balance in his heart slowly shifted to Liu Qi's side.

And Huang Zu is naturally influenced by Huang Chengyan now, plus Liu Qi's Changsha is closely related to his own Jiangxia, and more importantly, because Liu Qi admired the talent he showed in the process of quelling the Changsha rebellion, so he began to open the door to Liu Qi now.

Of course, with Huang Zu's cunning nature for so many years, he has not publicly expressed his support for Liu Qi, but on the surface, it seems that the two do not help each other.

Gan Ning also had some understanding of Huang Zu's psychology, but when he saw Huang Zu opening the door so widely, he was also extremely satisfied, and after a few days of rest, his army also regained its body, so he led the army to Xia Pheasant to station.

Xia Pheasant is only half a day's journey from Xunyang Port, even if it is only three hundred miles away from Nanchang, the seat of Yuzhangzhi, and only forty or fifty miles away from the strategic place of Chaisang, as long as Chaisang is occupied, so as to separate Nanchang from Lujiang County, when Sun Ce wants to occupy Yuzhang, it is almost impossible, unless he first defeats Ganning's garrison. Therefore, as long as the pheasant is occupied, it is equivalent to occupying the entire Yuzhang County.

And when Gan Ning's army came to Xiazhigang, Wang Cang, who was dispatched by Liu Qi, had also come to Nanchang.

At this time, Liu Qi had already received the edict that he was canonized as the general of Pingdong and the assassin of Yangzhou, so he ordered Wang Cang to go to Nanchang as a literary director of Yangzhou Assassin, the main intention was to persuade Hua Xin to surrender, and to take Deng Zhi as the general of Zhonglang and take charge of Cangwu Taishou on behalf of Cangwu.

What's even more coincidental is that Wang Cang and Sun Ce's envoy Yu Tuo came to Nanchang almost one front foot and one back foot.

Because the strength of both sides was very strong, Hua Xin did not dare to offend anyone, so he had to invite them all to the Taishou Mansion, let them argue with each other, and then decide to make a trade-off.

Wang Cang and Yu Fu didn't expect that they would go head-to-head, but they were both burdened with heavy responsibilities, so no one let anyone and directly started a confrontation in the Taishou Mansion.

Yu Fu saw that Wang Cang's appearance was not amazing, and he ignored him, and said directly to Hua Xin: "Jun Zizi expects that his reputation is in the sea, how does it compare with Wang Lang, the old Taishou of Huiji County?" ”

Hua Xin sighed: "The prince of the palace is talented and elegant, and he can't do it. ”

Yu turned and asked: "How much is Yuzhang's food?" Is the weapon well-made? Can the warriors and warriors compare to me? ”

Hua Xin shook his head and said, "It's better to do it." ”

Yu flipped and smiled, and said: "My general Anton is slightly more intelligent than the world, and he uses soldiers like a god, and he goes to Liu Yangzhou. Now I want to defend the lonely city, I have to feed myself, I know that it is insufficient, I don't plan early, and I can't regret it. Now the army has come to Shexian County, I will go back, if you don't open the city and surrender in ten days, don't blame our lord for not thinking about you as a county. ”

Hua Xin was silent, and just wanted to speak, but heard Wang Cang shouting: "What a rude Yu Fu, he dared to disobey the law and persuade the court officials to surrender without authorization." Your grandson is indeed as you said, pacified Danyang, Jiujiang, Wujun and Huiji, but our Pingdong general is even more than him, first defeated Cao Mengde with the division of the weak brigade, so that the people of the world are all excited, and then quelled the rebellion of Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha counties with the momentum of thunder, at the same time, my general led the army to sweep away Wulingman, Changsha Man, so that the barbarians were subdued, and did not dare to rebel again, and the merit was no less than that of Ma Fuboding Wuling. My general's quelling of the rebellion is for the country and the people, and your grandson Lang did not obey the decrees of the imperial court and captured Liu Yangzhou, the royal family's clansman, and Wang Lang, who was really a rebellious minister and thief. ”

Yu Chuan just wanted to speak, and saw Wang Cang say sharply: "Yu Zhongxiang, you followed the old lord Wang Lang, and you can be regarded as a generation of celebrities, when the prince was defeated, you were shameless, wagging your tail and begging for mercy, but you didn't think that after a few days, you actually started to be a lobbyist for the master, hum, you must know that when the son still exists today, the world is the world of the Liu family, and now my general is the imperial court, and he was named the general of Pingdong, the history of Yangzhou Thorn, Huaziyu is Yuzhang Taishou, belongs to the rule of Yangzhou, how can he not obey the laws of the imperial court, Instead, will you worship you, the grandson of the separatist side? ”

Yu Pan couldn't help but sneer: "Today, it has long fallen apart, the former Li Dao Guo Yan has caused trouble in Chang'an, and recently there are Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Zhang Lu Qunxiong standing side by side, each of them separating one side, crossing states and counties, your general is the Han family's clan, why not quickly level the heroes, go north to the Central Plains, and level the heroes, but live in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, dare to sit and defend themselves?" ”

Wang Cang said with a smile: "Although my general is young, he has this ambition, and he will be the commander of my Han Dynasty, redefine the world, clean up the country, protect the country and the people, and live up to the royal family." Today, my general was ordered by the imperial court to assassinate Yangzhou, and the general Zhennan was ordered by the imperial court to supervise the military of Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Yangzhou. And your grandson, who is the Taishou of Yangzhou Lujiang, does not obey the king's orders and wantonly occupies the land of my Han family, which is both a thief. A thief like you still dares to say that my general is a self-defending thief, isn't it a thief shouting to catch a thief? ”

Yu Fan saw that Wang Cang was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, I don't know where this person came from, and he has such a sharp argument?

But Yu Fu naturally would not be willing to admit defeat, so he said: "It's useless to say more, now our army has been in Shexian County, Hua Ziyu, if you surrender, you can protect the lives of a county, if you are delayed, you will definitely let the whole county be miserable, I have heard that you Hua Ziyu has high morals and has the people in mind, so you will not let the people suffer because of your decision, right?" ”

After Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Cang lightly, did not hide the smugness in his eyes at all, and secretly thought: "Hehe, even if you can speak well, what can you do?" In the end, you still have to rely on strength to speak, and now your Yangzhou Thorn Liu Qi is still staying in Linxiang, which is much farther away than She County, and when you lead the army to Nanchang City, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold. ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Cang smiled faintly and said slowly: "My family Assassin Shi has long expected that you will come to this hand, so naturally I am well prepared, I can't hide it, according to the latest news I got below, General Gan Ning, the captain of our army's building, has now led 30,000 horses to garrison Xiapheasant, and it only takes two hours to reach Chaisang, and it only takes five days to get to Nanchang. ”

"What, what?" Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "How is this possible? How could your army have arrived so quickly? When I came to Nanchang from She County, didn't I hear that Gan Ning was still in Linxiang? You, you must be bluffing and tricking Hua Ziyu into surrendering. ”

But I heard Wang Cang say lightly: "You are right, but three days ago, General Gan Ning took a boat from Linxiang into the river, and then went straight down the river and came to Xiapheasant, hehe, don't forget, now the river and waterway are in the hands of my Jingzhou, as long as we are willing, it is only a day's work from Linxiang to Chaisang." That's why I said, you're too late. ”

"This, this, how can this be? Doesn't this mean that the entire Yuzhang has fallen into the hands of Liu Qi? Isn't our army like a bone in the throat? In this way, it is too late for our army to guard against Liu Qi in the future, so how can we compete among the heroes? ”

Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, his face turned pale, and he meditated for a moment, feeling that he had no hope of surrendering Yuzhang now, and it seemed that he could only rely on strong military force to rob him, and the most important thing for him now was to go back quickly and report this news to General Anton Sun Ce, especially the heavy news that the imperial court appointed him as General Anton and the assassin of Yangzhou, must be delivered in time, because this news will make the lord Sun Ce fall into passivity for a long time.

Thinking of this, Yu Fu pretended to be calm and snorted coldly, and was about to leave with his sleeves up.

At this moment, Wang Cang suddenly shouted: "Hua Taishou, if you want the people of your county to suffer less, you must leave Yu Xuan today." ”

"Huh? What does Mr. Zhong Xuan mean by this? Hua Xin hadn't reacted yet, and said suspiciously: "No matter what, Yu Zhongxiang is also General Sun's envoy, even if I don't choose to surrender to him, I won't leave his envoy, right?" Wouldn't it be too much for me to do that? ”
