Tuoshui is ten meters wide, the water flow is not turbulent, according to the words of the head of the Nagan family, along the Tuoshui downstream, you can directly reach the five rivers, but there will be a few water berths in the middle, there are a lot of reeds on it, so you can't use a big boat, you can only use the kind of bridge boat that is simple to make, can fit fifteen people.

Fortunately, the Gan family manor was a base for the supply of the Wuhe bandits, so the ships were quite sufficient, a hundred camouflaged strong men, two hundred women plus wine, a total of thirty ships were loaded, but so, there were still twenty ships docked in the manor port.

Cao Zhang let the three hundred sergeants who did not get on the boat rest in a place away from the dead corpses in the manor, and he hung the ring-headed knife and got on the same boat with Lu Bu and the head of the Gan family, let the sergeant operate the oars, and went first.

Traveling less than a tea time, under the guidance of the head of the family, the fleet came to the first lake, as soon as it entered, there were several long and narrow boats about three meters long and about one meter wide, there were three people on board, dressed in sackcloth, one person operated the oars, one person held the lamp, one person held a bow and arrow, saw the Gan family flag on the boat, the men on these boats rowed silently to the side of the boat where Cao Zhang was, one of the men shouted: "Young Master Gan, do you still send things to the brothers at night?" ”

Cao Zhangyi stabbed the head of the family in the back, and the head of the Gan family smiled dryly: "Yes... ”

Before he could continue, Cao Zhang immediately took over and said: "Yes, I just came back from the Zhang family, and the master of the Zhang family gave me two hundred peasant women and asked me to send them to the brothers for fun, but because I was not familiar with the waterways, I asked the clan brothers to lead the way." ”

The other men on the boat immediately laughed lewdly when they heard this, and a few of them sniffed and said, "No wonder I smell the girl!" ”

And the man who spoke before said strangely: "This son is... ”

The head of the Gan family said, "Yes. . . It's my younger brother, but he just accompanies the little master of the Zhang family to study in the Zhang family all the year round. ”

The man laughed, "Oh, I see. There was a little more respect between the words, which showed the status of the Zhang family in Runan among the bandits.

Cao Zhang continued: "The old man of the Zhang family said that these two hundred peasant women will be sent to the north by water to be prostitutes for the eldest lord after playing with the brothers, so the brothers have to take pity on the jade, don't let the military masters in the north feel bored." ”

The eldest lord refers to Yuan Shao, Runan and the Yuan family are so privately called Yuan Shao, originally they called Yuan Shu the eldest master, at that time it was because Yuan Shu was close, and now that Yuan Shu is dead, he will naturally become Yuan Shao.

The big man smiled: "That's nature, it's not a matter for us to face Niu'er every day, hey?" I still smell alcohol? "These bandits are all wild, although the Gan family is everyone in Xiaqiu, but for the bandits in Yuzhou, they are nothing, so they speak very casually.

Such bandits only know that they are afraid when they see regular troops like halberders and tiger and leopard riders, and some strong men they have not yet taken into account.

Cao Zhang smiled: "This is another gift from my brother!" ”

Dahan smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful! Although the two young masters go forward, we still have to be vigilant in this water, so we won't send it! With that, he left, and disappeared in a moment into a flock of reeds.

After getting out of the lake and walking on the river, Cao Zhang said to Lu Bu: "Those people who are in charge of the bow on the boat are carrying arrows, which are supposed to be used for communication, so this waterway should be the source of the secret sentinel, and it is not easy to sneak attack." ”

Lu Bu praised: "The third son has good eyesight! "By this time it was already dark, and I could see these things in the dim light of the boat, and my natural eyesight was good.

Cao Zhang said modestly: "It's just that the bow and arrow are relatively slippery, so pay special attention." ”

After saying a few words, he turned to a water moor, and several boats approached, still three people per boat, because such a large fleet came, the sentry in front did not warn, and the other party already knew his own people, and when he saw the banner of the Gan family, he no longer blocked it, and let it go.

Cao Zhang said: "The arrow in the water pool in front of you will definitely be heard here, I think this is how they pass the news, as long as we can kill one of the thieves in the water pool unconsciously, then their news will not be transmitted." ”

Lu Bu heard the words and said: "The first water berth and the boat in the water just now are both five, it can be seen that they are arranged fifteen people per water berth, at this time, there should be no more water berths in the front waterway in a short period of time, it must be to arrange the sentries on both sides of the river, if there is a change, raise fire or sound arrows as a signal to notify the thieves of the five rivers." ”

Cao Zhang said: "In this way, only by killing the first sentry in Shuibo can I march with three hundred sergeants, and as long as the first lake arrow is not released, the sentry behind will be released." ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "When the third prince was fighting the manor, Ben Hou found that your sword skills were actually good, and you were strong and skillful, and you were better than adults, as long as you cooperated with a few sergeants to kill these thieves, it was not difficult." ”

Cao Zhang thought for a while and said, "I will leave a few jars of wine later, and I have my own way to clean them up." ”

After that, after passing two more water pools, and then passing through a relatively narrow river, a piece of land appeared in front, the land was very spacious, several times larger than the Gan family's manor, surrounded by a large water swamp, surrounded by reeds and aquatic plants, it was already midnight at this time, but standing on the land, ten meters apart, about five meters high, the ten guard towers were still brightly lit, and the man in Mai standing on it was looking down at the approaching fleet.

The land was covered with wooden houses, and men armed with long knives and halberds were everywhere, and they roamed the camp in groups of five, looking heavily guarded.

Seeing this, Lu Bu said in a low voice: "This thief leader is quite knowledgeable about military affairs, and he does not forget to be vigilant when he hides in the deep mountains and Daze, no wonder there are so many boats passing by the lake just now." ”

Cao Zhang has read a lot of military books, and has been with the army for a long time, and his vision is already good, and he said with a smile: "It's a pity that the people are still thieves, seeing these people's footsteps, the thieves on the sentry platform have a tired face, obviously very reluctant to be so controlled, and the weapons are different, the clothes are different, obviously the mountains are different, and they can't work together, if this boss doesn't let them enjoy the women and drinks we brought, I'm afraid that if we don't need to raid, there will be internal strife immediately."

Lu Bu said with a smile: "The third prince is also a good man in governing the army over time. ”

At this time, the thieves on the sentry tower shouted, "It's the Gan family's ship?" ”

Cao Zhang raised his voice and said: "The Gan family has sent women and wine to the brothers!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a group of thieves all rushed to the shore, and the thieves on the sentry platform also stretched their necks to watch, their clothes were in disarray, Cao Zhang and Lu Bu looked at each other and smiled, knowing that this plan had been accomplished.

After the first boat docked, Cao Zhang left a few jars of wine on the boat, and then drove all the women off the boat, at this time all the bridge boats docked, many robbers rushed up without waiting for the women to get off the boat, scrambling to pull, pulling the woman with one hand and holding the wine with the other, making a mess, Cao Zhang saw this scene and said to Lu Bu: "Three days later, the brothers have played, you will bring the woman back, and my brother and I will leave first!" ”

A small leader who had already hugged the two peasant women said curiously: "Won't the two sons come in and have a drink with our big leader?" ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "My brother and I both read the books of sages, and it is not appropriate to stay for a long time!" And so I went back! "Don't you take advantage of the chaos to go, and wait for you to see the clues?

After saying that, Cao Zhang instructed the sergeants on the ship to operate the boat and leave, at this time, in addition to himself and the head of the Gan family, Cao Zhang's boat also had five sergeants pretending to be family members, as well as a few jars of wine.

The little leader watched Cao Zhang's boat leave and muttered strangely, "Isn't this young master of the Gan family a pervert, why did he leave so quickly today?" ”

Lu Bu came to the boss and said with a smile: "There is still a little lady waiting in the young master's bed~!" Gan Xian, the head of the Xia Gan family's nursing home, can my brother take me to meet the head of your family? ”

The little leader smiled and said, "I see... Come, Brother Gan, please, go and meet our big leader! After speaking, he pulled Lu Bu and walked to the largest wooden house on the shore.
