Chapter 587: Han Dynasty Collapses, Heroes Dance (36)
When Gan Ning led the crowd back to the island in the river where they were resting, Su Fei was already in a hurry.
Seeing Gan Ning coming back, Su Fei didn't care about continuing to cover his appearance with his robe and hat, and dragged Gan Ning aside in the stunned eyes of the water thieves, looking quite anxious.
"Xingba, what's going on with these people?" Without waiting for Gan Ning to ask, Su Fei pointed to a group of people who were silent in the distance and asked anxiously.
This small island in the river is not big, the four sides are more than ten miles long, although the yellow forest and grass are luxuriant, but there is no danger to defend, no shelter can be stopped, the situation on the island is difficult to hide, just according to the surrounding tidal flats are dangerous, and in the middle of the big river, not very familiar with the waterway, the ship is really difficult to approach, only by Ganning as a temporary shelter.
Su Fei pointed to the more than 100 soldiers who were surrounded by dozens of nervous river thieves with bows and crossbows, and who were captured a few days ago because they were overturned by Gan Ning's Jinfan boat. Calm, silent, neatly dressed, with a group of people dressed in various colors, although wearing brocade clothes, they are not like beloved river thieves, giving people a distinct visual impact.
"These people ......" Gan Ning is really a little difficult to explain. It's not that they don't trust, as friends, whether it is Gan Ning or Su Fei, they are all friendships that can be entrusted with each other's lives, from Su Fei's disregard for Huang Zu's anger, he also has to find a way for Gan Ning's "whitewashing", and Gan Ning, in order not to embarrass Su Fei, pretended not to be in the face of Qin Xu's implicit solicitation, and the relationship between the two can also be seen. If it was before Gan Ning went to meet Qin Xu, the identities of these soldiers who had ascended the battalion were just "prisoners", there was nothing to say. It's not a shame. But now, these more than 100 people carry Gan Ning's sincerity and credibility, and Gan Ning has already responded to Qin Xu. To release these more than 100 people back to the shore is a bit difficult to say. After all, now from the standpoint of the two sides, Su Fei is on the side of Liu Biao's army, and Qin Xu is at war, and Su Fei's intention here is that if he still wants to run for Gan Ning, the true identity of these people. If you can't say it, it will make Su Fei very embarrassed.
"Xingba provoked Jiangdong?" Seeing that Gan Ning, who was originally a hearty person, was also stuck in his words, Su Fei did not continue to entangle with Gan Ning on the identity of these soldiers of the pioneer battalion who were obviously not all the way to the same river, but instead lowered his voice even more. Asked Gan Ning said.
"I'm ...... Cough! Gan Ning, who was decisive in killing, was also a little confused at this time, and didn't know how to explain his "collaborator" behavior to the old friend in front of him who had been running for him. Looking at Su Fei's concerned and anxious eyes, Gan Ning finally decided to tell the truth. "Ahem! Don't hide it from Brother Su. A few days ago, when the younger brother led a group of brothers to the waterway of Wujun, he bumped into the ship sent by the Qin envoy of Xuzhou to Jiangdong to contact and return...... Ahem......"
"Xingba, you are confused!" Su Fei looked like this, and he didn't notice the honorific title Gan Ning used when addressing Qin Xu, and rubbed his palm and spun around in place. His brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, and he said: "Although the lord has started a war with Lu Wenhou this time. Although the troops of the two states were raised and most of the troops were gathered, they were only used to attack the two counties of Danyang and Yuzhang, because they were afraid of the strength of Lu Bu's army, although our army had an advantage in terms of strength and geography, and did not dare to advance lightly, and was cautious. The lord's army of 40,000 is still like this, Xingba you are only 800 people, but you have been mixed in for no reason, although you are lucky to win a small victory according to the advantages of the ship, but you have also caused a lot of trouble for yourself! Moreover...... Moreover...... Ay! ”
"Brother Su is serious, right? How could Liu Yuanjun and Qin Yuanjun care about this little person? Gan Ning pouted and said. Because of the exchange with Qin Xu, Gan Ning was quite unimpressed by Su Fei's words. Liu Biao's battle with Lu Bu's army will certainly affect the situation in the entire Jiangdong, but he Gan Ning is only a water thief leader of 800 people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is insignificant compared to the battle of 70,000 or 80,000 troops. In Gan Ning's mind, if it weren't for the relationship with Xiandeng Ying, would the two families have noticed that he was still talking about it, not to mention that now Gan Ning has reached a "reconciliation" with Qin Xu and has stood on a neutral position, now listening to Su Fei's big trouble, to Gan Ning's ears, it is a bit alarmist.
"Xingba, do you think you left these more than 100 Qin Xu soldiers on the island, and the General Huang scout boats coming and going on the river don't know who these people are?" Su Fei, who knew Gan Ning's temper very well, took a deep breath and said patiently: "Don't hide it from Xingba, I recommended you to General Huang the day before yesterday, hoping to find a way out for you under the command of the lord, so as not to make Xingba's bravery and martial arts dusty, which was originally refuted by General Huang." The reason is that when the prestige of the Jinfan thief was at its peak before, he offended the clans of Jingxiang and Shudi, even if he was the lord, he couldn't afford to provoke a violent backlash from the local clans after accepting you into Jingzhou. But just yesterday, General Huang suddenly found his brother, and there was room for change between his words, and under the pretext of Xingba's bravery, he left you the position of a captain in Hengjiang, and asked a certain person to invite you to meet him. Originally, I was extremely happy, but now I am a brother who is afraid that it will hurt you, do you know why? ”
"Liu Yuanjun wants to show Gan as a captain in Hengjiang?" Gan Ning smacked his lips, the expression on his face seemed to be a smile, and he couldn't see a trace of joy and anger, and asked.
"It's not Liu Yuanjun, it's General Huang!" Su Fei sighed deeply and said: "And I blamed a certain person before, saying that you went to Wu County to investigate and wanted to surrender your name......
"Isn't it General Huang's bargaining chip that wants Gan to be the captain of Hengjiang, or does he want these more than 100 soldiers under the command of Qin Envoy?" The strange smile on Gan Ning's face became thicker and thicker, and he said.
"Although General Huang didn't say it explicitly, he can't make a mistake!" Su Fei glanced at the soldiers of the Xiandeng Battalion who were captured, but were still silent and calm and confronted the river thieves under Gan Ning, turned sideways, and said to Gan Ning.
"Then what did Brother Su do for Gan Ning? Do you take the heads of these more than 100 soldiers who have ascended the battalion to change the official seal of the captain of Hengjiang to play tricks, or take the lives of these more than 100 people to go to the Qin envoy to change their background? Gan Ning stared straight into Su Fei's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Neither is advisable! General Huang did what he did by borrowing a knife to kill people. Xingba mixed in, if it was useless, it would be fine, if it made a great contribution. That's definitely going to be fatal! Su Fei was now anxious about Gan Ning's lukewarm attitude, but he didn't care about the tone of Gan Ning's questioning, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Since the matter has come to this, Xingba, you must not be impulsive." When my brother came, I once understood that the first camp was a famous elite soldier in the world, and now he is the personal guard of Qin Xu, the assassin of Xuzhou. Coming to Jiangdong together, it must be relied on as a confidant. If they were defeated on the battlefield, it would be like this inexplicably killing them. I can't say that I will offend Qin Xu to death. Qin Xu, you may not know that in just three or five years, he can go from a domestic slave to a court guard and a general of Zhengdong. Feng Wuting Marquis led the history of Xuzhou Thorn. It must not be underestimated, not to mention that it is backed by Lu Wenhou, the world's number one fierce general, and it is unwise to get into such a big trouble for no reason! The best way is to pack up immediately, immediately, and take advantage of General Huang's lack of knowledge of Xingba's details, quickly dismiss these more than 100 people, and then swim upstream. Let's go to Shu to hide for a while, and put it as the best policy. ”
"Brother Su, is this persuading the younger brother to flee before fighting?" Su Fei's words were very thorough. Gan Ning couldn't understand how he couldn't understand. In a way, Su Fei had already offended his boss Huang Zu who had moved a different kind of mind this time, but Su Fei still came without hesitation, a trace of emotion flashed in Gan Ning's eyes, and he asked pretendedly.
"Xingba! You are such a smart person, how can you recognize the reason for death at this time? Seeing Gan Ning's appearance of looking at him left and right, Su Fei's tone became more and more anxious, and said, "I'll tell you the truth." This time, he didn't come by himself, just thirty miles away from the upper reaches of the river, there were two thousand elite soldiers, more than ten warships were waiting, General Huang agreed with a certain person, and if he didn't see his brother reply for two hours, he would come to meet Xingba in person. General Huang's purpose is only to attack you on these more than 100 soldiers who have ascended the battalion first......"
"What Brother Su means, Gan understands!" Gan Ning stopped Su Fei from continuing, a cold light bloomed in his eyes, and asked, "In other words, what kind of person Gan is, Huang Zu doesn't really care!" If a certain person knows the current affairs, he can still get a military position as a captain of Hengjiang, and he is subject to his life in the army, if Gan has the slightest discooperation, it can't be said that the navy that was supposed to use troops against Qin Envoy Jun will take Gan's head to sacrifice the flag, right? ”
"Xingba rest assured! Even if you risk your life as a brother, you will never be in the slightest danger because you are a brother! Su Fei noticed that Gan Ning's words were inappropriate, but he thought that it was due to the arrival of Huang Zu's two thousand people, and he was worried about it. With a wry smile, he said to Gan Ning.
"Hah! Unexpectedly, Gan, a water thief who sought to be trusted everywhere but could not be born, would one day become a fragrant bait. Gan Ning suddenly laughed a few times, and Su Fei, who was anxious, was also confused, only to hear Gan Ning say: "Two thousand elite sailors, more than ten warships, Huang Zu really looks at Gan!" With such a cost, it seems that he has made up his mind to avenge the Jingxiang family! It's not a pity that Gan Ning died, but it's a pity that Brother Su and you have to lose your life for Gan. ”
"Huh?!" Su Fei took the risk to tell the matter because he was worried that Gan Ning was doing something stupid and didn't know it, but unexpectedly, Gan Ning broke Huang Zu's sinister intentions in one mouth, which also made Su Fei ponder, and his heart sank, and cold sweat came out on his forehead.
Oh, yes! If you want to solicit them, why do you want to send 2,000 elite sailors and more than a dozen warships to come together? It can't be said that it is because Huang Zu also knows the power of the dense reefs around this small island in the river, and the reason why he allowed himself to come is not to find out the way to the island?
Su Fei didn't want to continue thinking about it, no matter what, Huang Zu was still very good to his little fellow before. Moreover, Su Fei did not have the slightest suspicion about the action of bringing troops here, but Huang Zu was cautious. Even after being exposed to Huang Zu's true intentions by Gan Ning, Su Fei still had a bit of luck in his heart, hoping that Huang Zu would not do this trick, and also hoping that his friend Gan Ning would be able to escape this catastrophe, but when Su Fei turned around, he saw that the upper reaches of the river were originally familiar ship masts, which gradually pierced the river, and Su Fei's mind sank to the bottom. It was a full hour earlier than scheduled, and there was no need to explain everything...... (To be continued......)
