Gan Ning carefully flattened the paper roll that had been untied from the pigeon's leg, and then placed it in a small wooden box that he carried with him, and there were already a dozen of these small paper rolls stacked inside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that Gan Ning is playing tricks, in fact, there are only two words on this roll of paper: okay. But the problem is that these two words are written by Emperor Liu Bei of Zhaolie, that is, the holy decree, how dare Gan Ning slack off? Keep it as it should be.

When I walked down the pass, I happened to meet Wang Ping, the guard of Tongguan. Seeing Gan Ning's footsteps so brisk, Wang Ping also expected something, and asked with a smile at the moment: "It seems that General Gan has waited?" ”

"Exactly!" Gan Ning grinned, and then walked out of Tongguan and came to a port on the edge of Weishui. Here, dozens of ships are ready to stop, and the ships are covered with a thick curtain. It's just that when you get closer, you can faintly smell the smell of sulfur.

"Brothers, General Cheng has removed all the chains and reefs in the Yellow River, and it's time for us to show our Jingxiang sailors. From today onwards, every time we are on alert, we will set off as soon as the south wind blows! Gan Ning laid it out. It's late spring and early summer, and the south wind is strong, so it's possible to set off at any time.

"General, we are going downstream, why use the wind!" Huang Bingqi, the general of the water division, said with a smile: "This time, let's play something fun for Cao Pi!" Immediately, Huang Bing, who looked puzzled, did not mention it.

Maybe it was Gan Ning's character that broke out, but in the afternoon of this day, a strong southeast wind blew above Weishui, and Gan Ning hurriedly ordered dozens of boats to all sail and go downstream. Although the southeast wind is somewhat obstructive, Tongguan is not too far from Mianchi. Gan Ning and dozens of other boats set off in the afternoon, and finally arrived at the upper reaches of the pond in the early morning of the next morning. Through the thin fog of the night, Gan Ning could already vaguely see the other party's ferry by the Yellow River, as well as the water village and the warship. And the other party obviously found them, but Gan Ning's dozens of ships were covered with thick cloth, and the whole was dressed as a merchant ship, so the other party did not send people to meet them, but just took a few small boats and stepped forward to interrogate.

"Ignore them, light the fire, and rush to the Cao Army's naval army camp!" Gan Ning gave an order, and then dozens of boats all set on fire, and then rushed towards the enemy's dock and water village with great momentum. The fire borrowed the wind, and the wind helped the fire, and the defenders of the ferry suddenly panicked.

At this time, the chain of warships has not yet been fully built, but most of them have been connected. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, Xiahou Mao placed all the connected chain warships on the outer front. Now dozens of fireships are coming, and the sailors on the serial warship are hurriedly unlocking and then splitting the ships. But where is the time between the hastiness? It didn't take long for the first ship to crash, and then one after another. With the help of the wind, the fire suddenly spread.

There was not much rain this spring, and the Yellow River water village and the land dry village were almost the same, with more wooden structures, and in this dry climate, Ganning's fireboat immediately burst into flames as soon as it was connected. Then the wind blows, and the fire gradually spreads from the ferry to the depths of the water village. Sergeant Cao was at a loss, and if he was lucky, he could escape from the shore closely, and if he was unlucky, he was burned to death, or jumped into the water and drowned. But in any case, the whole water village is burning.

"Let's go!" Seeing that it was almost burning, Gan Ning turned over and jumped down the river, got on the stern boat and went downstream. But as soon as the Yellow River Water Village was disturbed by him, it suddenly burst into flames, and the fire burned for almost the whole night.

The next morning, after the sky was bright, Cheng Wu, who had escaped death, looked at the messy Yellow River water village, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Last night, he went overnight to pick up a batch of grain and grass delivered from Yecheng, so he was not burned to death by the fire. Xiahou Mao was not so lucky, and was directly burned into a roast pig.

"Lord of the Army, it's all gone!" A Dubo beside him looked at the dead branch that was still steaming white, and also stammered. Cheng Wu was speechless for a long time, he knew in his heart that it would take at least dozens of days to rebuild such a water village and then connect the iron cable warship. By that time, his father would have been trapped and died in Henan.

"There is no choice but to notify the general as soon as possible and let him decide!" After Cheng Wu relieved himself, he was still accustomed to finding his top boss Cao Hong to make a decision. However, what he didn't expect was that his boss was also in big trouble this time.

Thousands of miles away in the north, when there were still more than 100 miles away from Yanmen Pass, Zhang Fei and others divided their troops. According to the agreement, Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng went to attack Bingzhou, and Ma Chao and Zhao Yun went to Youzhou.

"Zilong, Meng Qi, pay attention. The Jiangdong Navy Division was ordered to go north to attack Jizhou and Youzhou, maybe they will run into you, pay more attention! Before dividing the troops, Zhang Fei still admonished.

"Don't worry, the two princes, just rely on me and my brother-in-law, enough to turn Youzhou upside down!" The horse is oversized and authentic. Zhang Fei just nodded, Zhao Feng was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Meng Qi, if possible, you can solve the Cao army in Sanhan and Liaodong, so as to save a lot of inconvenience in the future!" But it was he who remembered the stick that was entrenched there in the later generations, and he really didn't like it.

"That's how it should be!" Ma Chao nodded, and then waved his army away without mentioning it. Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei gathered up more than 90,000 cavalry infantry on their side and went to Yanmen Pass.

On the way, Zhang Fei also briefly introduced Tian Yu, and as in history, this Tian Yu also worked with Liu Bei for a period of time under Liu Yu's account in Youzhou, and Liu Bei admired this person's talent. By mistake, although Tian Yu never left the north later, the master changed several people. From Liu Yu to Gongsun Zhan, then to Yuan Shao, and later to Cao Ying. Now that time flies, almost 30 years have passed, although Zhang Fei is a person with big nerves, now seeing the old man, he can't help but be excited.

"Actually, I should have been allowed to go to Youzhou, and I don't know what happened to my little field and orchard in Zhuojun's hometown!" Since Ma Chao and Zhao Yun left, Zhang Fei has been chattering from time to time. I don't know if I'm talking or who I'm asking.

"Third general, since you can't let go like this, why don't you wait until the war subsides, just like the lord asks you to go back and have a look?" Zhao Feng saw that his mind was a little unhappy, and hurriedly comforted. The war is imminent, and it is not a good thing that the Lord will be so excited.

"Hehe, I hope!" Zhang Fei smiled noncommittally, but then said something that impressed Zhao Feng: "In life, there are many unsatisfactory things." When I was young, I thought about how to make a name for myself and make a career. Now that he has made such a reputation, he feels that hunting and drinking at that time was the fastest and most peaceful time. Man, I really can't tell! However, speaking of this, Zhang Fei glanced at Zhao Feng with some meaning, and finally said: "If my expectations are good, after this battle is over, you shouldn't fight again, right?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was a little caught off guard by Zhang Fei's words, but after reacting, he only smiled. It seems that his surname is indeed recognized, and even Zhang Fei can see that there is a way. It's just that I really want to retire like this, the murder and arson the day before yesterday seems to have awakened some restless things in my body.

The two of them had their own thoughts, but their feet were not slow at all, and they finally came to the Yanmen Pass after a short time. Yanmen Pass is an important pass in the north of the Han Dynasty, and it is used as a gateway to resist the Xiongnu and other foreign races. Even if Cao Pi used troops in the south, Yanmen Pass was still guarded by 30,000 heavy soldiers. And the entire annexed state is only more than 40,000 defenders, and the rest are basically in Jinyang.

At this time, the Yanmen Gate was closed, and Tian Yu was still doing the final ideological struggle. What he was holding in his hand was a handwritten letter from Liu Bei, the Zhaolie Emperor of the Han Dynasty. In the letter, Liu Bei and him not only talked about the old days, but also talked about major events in the world, and finally persuaded him to surrender.

Tian Yu remembered that when he first came out, Liu Bei was one of the few people who was more optimistic about himself. Later, he went to Xuzhou, and also sent people to persuade him to go to Xuzhou to serve several times. But because his mother is old and needs to be taken care of, he has not agreed. I didn't want to wait until later, my mother passed away, and I switched to Yuan Shao, and I have been entrusted with the important task of garrisoning northern Xinjiang. It's just such a mistake, after decades, he has been passing by Liu Bei.

Tian Yu knew that Liu Bei was not an idle person, but he didn't expect that he would become the number one prince in the world so far, and inherit the orthodoxy of the Han family, and was about to dominate the world, let alone that he thought that he would not meet him on the battlefield, but now Zhang Fei ran over by himself, and he really couldn't hide from it. Thinking of this, Tian Yu also sighed, handed the letter in his hand to Yan Rou, and then said with some bitterness: "General Yan, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Yan Rou and Liu Guanzhang are also old friends, he has Xianbei blood, he has always respected heroes and heroes, and he admired Liu Bei back then. Now that she read this letter, Yan Rou didn't think about it for too long, and directly changed her mouth and said, "I think we still don't want to be enemies of Your Majesty!" "If you want to say that his position has changed much faster than Tian Yu, he will directly address His Majesty Liu Bei.

When Tian Yu heard this, he looked at the defenders behind him, these people were basically border soldiers who had followed him for many years. Although it is the duty to defend the country, the sense of awareness of the imperial court is not too strong. Cao Wei sent them to guard the frontier for this reason. Now Zhuge Liang's trick is indeed above seven inches.

The next day, Tian Yu led 30,000 defenders and surrendered to Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng. Zhang Fei has always been a gentleman and a villain, and Tian Yu was originally an old man, so his surrender was naturally treated well. In addition, Zhao Feng is also approachable, not long after Tian Yu surrendered, the little burden in his heart was gone.

Liu Bei had already said that once Tian Yu surrendered, he was named the general of Pingbei, and Zhang Fei also praised Yan Rou as the general of Anbei. Leaving Yan Rou to lead the old troops to garrison Yanmen Pass, Tian Yu entered the hinterland of Bingzhou with the army, and many of the guards in Bingzhou had his old friends, and took Tian Yu to persuade him to surrender, which was better than 100,000 elite soldiers.

A few days later, news also came from the east. After Ma Chao and Zhao Yun entered Youzhou, the empty hinterland of Youzhou suddenly couldn't resist the army of 50,000 tigers and wolves. The two joined forces and headed south. Only Ma Dai remembered that Zhao Feng had said that he wanted him to go to Liaodong and Sanhan, so after the defenders surrendered everywhere, he led 10,000 horses to Sanhan.

Later, Ma Chao regretted this matter very much, and often sighed that if he had gone at the beginning, he would have been able to make a prince. It's just that Ma Chao's little frustration is really small compared to Cao Pide's news that the Yellow River crossing was burned.
