Chapter 220: Parallel State Trip (1)

The main trunk of the Yellow River meets its tributary Fenshui.

Although there is no navy in the north, there are still boats, for example, along the Yellow River, there are many boats of all sizes, among them, most of them are mainly fishing boats, and the people living on both sides of the Yellow River also make a living by fishing.

There are also children of rich families who take a boat to see the scenery along the coast, and when Kyoto is still in Luoyang, most of the officials of the state return to their hometowns, and they also choose to go upriver by boat.

A large fleet of ships is slowly swimming upstream. This fleet consisted of three large ships and more than a dozen small boats, which stretched for hundreds of meters in front and back.

There was no banner, but the soldiers wearing leather armor, armed with spears, bows and arrows, were enough to deter ordinary water thieves.

On one of the large boats, a man stood with a knife on his shoulder, facing the slight river breeze, his long hair fluttering, and his body was full of heroism.

"My lord, there is a good world ahead. I heard that Zhang Yang and Zhang Yan were fighting in this area, it was very chaotic, and there were often water thieves haunting, including hundreds of big water thieves, and the lord should still be careful. At this time, a young man with green cedars came to this person and reminded him softly.

On this boat, the man with the knife was Han Fei, and this young man was not Guo Jia and others, but the son of Fu Zhu, Fu Hu.

Frustrated Hu was eighteen years old, still a minor, and had never been an official, because he was optimistic about Han Fei, he put his only son under Han Fei's account and worshiped Han Fei as the main father. Fu Zhu also believes that by following Han Fei, Fu Hu can grow better.

A month after getting married, Han Fei was not ready to procrastinate. Time is running out.

Remembering the formation of the water army, Han Fei did not enter the state from Huguan this time. Although Huguan was captured by Gao Shun once, but after all, it was abandoned again, and now it is still in the hands of Zhang Yang, if you really want to go to Huguan, there may be any trouble, after all, Zhang Yang is Yuan Shao's person. and his Han family's father and son are very unpleasant.

In this way, Han Fei simply chose to take the waterway and recruited three big ships from the Jizhou family. Dozens of small boats, going up the Yellow River, ready to go Fenshui to Taiyuan. Accompanied. Except for Frustration and Dian Wei. It is the 800 athletes led by Gan Ning, the team of the future water army.

In this way, Gan Ning can also be familiar with the water of the Yellow River.

"Blow the trumpet, and order the soldiers to be on guard." Han Fei nodded.

"No." Frustrated, he stepped into the cabin, and a moment later a long trumpet sounded, causing the already cautious guarded soldiers. Be more cautious.

Listening to the sound of the horn, Han Fei set his eyes ahead. In front of this surging river. has his destination, Taiyuan.

It has been ten days since they set sail from Puyang, Jizhou, and their fleet has traveled here smoothly. In a day or two, he will be able to reach Taiyuan, where he planned to make his fortune.

Taiyuan County, since Ding Yuan led the army into Beijing was killed, it has been in chaos, Zhang Yang, Zhang Yan, and even the Huns are fighting frequently here, Taiyuan County and County Town, but after several changes of hands, now, it is in the hands of Zhang Yang, it is said that the guard will be the younger brother of Fang Yue who died under the halberd of Lu Bu in front of the Tiger Prison.

……

"Lord, look ahead!"

Just as Han Fei was thinking about Taiyuan in his heart, a voice suddenly sounded next to him. Han Fei turned his head and glanced at the voice of a soldier.

Immediately, he looked up again. I saw a big ship floating in the river, this ship was built very luxuriously, more than three times larger than Han Fei's big ship, and it was not a warship.

At the moment, though, the ship seems to be in a bit of trouble. Because there were dozens of small boats floating in its vicinity, and shouts of killing could be heard.

"Water thieves!"

These two words immediately appeared in Han Fei's heart, although he had never seen water thieves looting in the rivers, but he had personally exterminated many water thieves, and during the period of suppressing bandits in Jizhou, there were many bandits who bullied the north without a water army, so they started to be water thieves, and they were also wiped out by Han Fei. He knew that the water thieves used such fast boats to travel and plunder. The quick attack, the quick escape, and the shouting of killing came from it, there should be no doubt that it should be a water thief.

However, in Bingzhou, Han Fei's eyes are still dark, as an outsider, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and it is not suitable to make extraneous branches. Saying apologies to the owner of the big ship, Han Fei ordered the soldiers to steer the ship and avoid it.

But a voice came out coldly from the front, "Fenshui thieves are looting, and the idle people are waiting to die!" ”

Not only that, but when Han Fei and the others did not answer, half of the dozens of small boats on the other side immediately split up and attacked Han Fei's fleet brazenly.

Even if the other party spoke ill of him, Han Fei had to avoid it in order to avoid extraneous branches. In any case, if you are a newcomer, it is better not to make too many enemies. But the other party obviously did not give Han Fei the right to choose.

"Rise up and crush him."

Looking coldly at the dozens of ships that were blatantly attacking them, Gan Ning was seriously full of battle intent and looked at Han Fei silently. Han Fei nodded and ordered in a cold voice.

"No!"

After a loud sound of promise, Gan Ning skillfully commanded his athletes, and the soldiers quickly entered the cabin, and then, an earth-shattering drum sounded.

Similar thieves, who died under Han Fei's knife, I don't know how much, although he is afraid of trouble, it does not mean that Han Fei is afraid of trouble.

Lou Chao is the leader of the more powerful Fenshui thieves among the many water thieves across the Yellow River, with a short stature, but he is very capable, with a pair of small eyes full of essence, and he is very fierce.

Lou Chao has been a water thief for ten years, relying on the fact that there is no water army in the north, in the past ten years, it has been mixed up, and the team has become bigger and bigger, and there are five or six hundred people today. In the Yellow River area in Bingzhou, among the more than ten water thieves, the scale is relatively strong.

Lou Chao is cautious and rarely goes out to plunder. But with each sortie, the chosen target was large. The belief is that it will not be open for three years, and it will be open for three years.

In the morning, a thief reported that an unusually large ship had passed by, and it seemed that the owner was playing on a boat. And what is even more striking is that there are no small boats around the ship. Although there are guards. But it should be less than a hundred.

For the so-called guards, Lou Chao didn't care about it at all, this is the north. Not Gangnam. Originally, Lou Chao was also from Jiangnan and a small thief on the Yangtze River, but there was competition among the thieves, but unfortunately, he failed in the competition for territory. But fortunately, he survived, in order to avoid being hunted down by his enemies. With dozens of wishes to follow his brothers, he traveled thousands of miles to Bingzhou and started his previous livelihood again.

I have seen a lot of the power of the Jiangnan Water Army. These landlubbers of the North. How could he be looked at it? In the past ten years, the reason why he has been able to grow so much is precisely because of his and his brothers' outstanding water nature and water combat ability.

For water thieves, wealth is important, but the first choice is the boat. A sturdy and huge ship has a lot of attraction for Lou Chao.

Although going out to plunder, the big ship is useless. But fight against other water thieves. The role of the big ship is very large.

Coupled with such a large ship, there should be some valuables inside. Many temptations made Lou Chao choose to attack blatantly.

Things went well, and when they set out, the big ship tried to speed up and chose to avoid it, but it couldn't get faster than their small boat, and was eventually surrounded by their small boat.

Although they lost a lot of men and horses in the battle, they still boarded the ship, and after a short hand-to-hand encounter, they quickly eliminated seventy or eighty guards.

These guards are not bad if they can take a boat without getting seasick, but compared to them who are begging for a living on the water, they are too much worse.

Just as Li Lie was about to count the harvest, he was unaware that a very large fleet of ships came out of front of him, with three large ships and dozens of small ships. It seems to be a regular army.

But it didn't hang a flag, maybe it was a caravan. Lou Chao thought in his heart, he had a vote anyway, so he would do another vote.

In his opinion, as long as it is not a peer, in the north, there is no fleet that cannot be shot!

Thinking of this, Lou Chao casually ordered half of his water thieves to intercept and kill. It stands to reason that against the caravan, they have a great advantage over the water thieves, even if the other party has many guards, they can be caught by hand.

After putting his mind down, Lou Chao turned his head to look at the loot. There was a lot of loot on them, some precious gold and silver items, and a lot of food. However, in Lou Chao's opinion, the most precious are more than ten women.

That's right, woman. More than a dozen fair-skinned, lovely-looking northern women. After a burst of itching, Lou Chao immediately turned around and entered the cabin.

The ship is very large, modeled after the southern building ship, and the so-called cabin is actually the shipyard, with three floors up and down. Dozens of rooms. The bottom room is large and can be seen as a large hall.

In the hall, there are primary and secondary positions, one primary and four secondary. Behind the main seat is a screen, with straw mats at the feet, and a smell of fragrance in the air.

More than ten women sat on their knees, crying and crying, some with pale faces, and next to them stood several water thieves who were like wolves and tigers, holding short knives, looking at these women with lustful eyes.

After entering the hall, Lou Chao was intoxicated by this fragrance, which should be the incense used by the nobles, which was transmitted from the Western Regions, and it was expensive. They are not entitled to it.

Originally, he was only born in poverty, and he was also very kind, when he was a water thief, he also did some things to rob property but not people, but with the passage of time, he gradually degenerated. In Lou Chao's opinion, I am afraid that I will not be able to take off the thief's skin in this life, and the normal life is completely insulated from him, not to mention, I am used to living a begging life on the water, and I can't go back to the previous years, so it is better to indulge myself.

There is now Lou Chao.

But no matter how refreshing the fragrance is, it is not as refreshing as a woman...... After a while, Lou Chao set his eyes on the front.

Said it was ahead, but in fact he was just looking at a woman. One of more than a dozen women. Lou Chao has been a thief for so many years, intercepted and killed many people, and robbed many women. Among them, there are some ladies and ladies of rich and noble families.

It can be seen at a glance that among the more than ten women, the others are maids, and only one of them is a lady.

looked at the beautiful woman in front of me, with fair skin, and a moving charm all over her body, but with a slender figure and a hot body.

A trace of fanatical lust flashed in Lou Chao's eyes, as a water thief who was born at the bottom and lived a life of licking blood from the knife all day long, what could be more exciting than playing with a noble lady?

That's right. He hated the aristocracy!

In particular, this woman has the water spirit of a southern woman and the height of a northerner. In Lou Chao's eyes, it is a big chest. A woman with a big ass and a strong child...... The desire in Lou Chao's heart instantly rose to its peak.

Lou Chao's strong desire made the beautiful woman seem to be aware. frowned at the moment, her status was respected, and no one dared to look at her like this in the past. Now not only have they encountered a water thief, but this water thief is also full of mush.

"This strong man crisscrossed the Yellow River, and all he did was money." The beautiful woman calmed down and said. After a pause, he said, "If the strong man can release the news that I was robbed." and my house will be redeemed with gold. ”

The power in the beautiful woman's family is unimaginable, but she did not threaten this water thief with words, knowing that the water thief is a character who licks blood on the knife edge, if it is not good. Put yourself in it. But I really want to cry without tears.

A trace of surprise flashed in Lou Chao's eyes, and he put away his lustful gaze and looked the beautiful woman up and down, only to see that she looked calm and did not have a trace of consciousness of being robbed.

"Hahaha, you're very conscious."

Lou Chao opened his mouth and let out a loud laugh, and after laughing three times, Lou Chao's face changed suddenly, and he sneered: "But." Don't think of me as a thief who just debuted! Just look at the ship, look at the guard. And you, a beauty, I can guess how powerful your family is. If you release the news that you have been robbed, you may face encirclement and suppression by the official army. ”

As he spoke, Li Lie smiled and said, "How good it is now, I robbed the boat and robbed you, a beauty, as long as I lead my troops to hide on the Yellow River, no one can find me." ”

A subtle hint of annoyance flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, and this fool did not know that he was dying. If she loses a single hair, no matter how big the Yellow River is, she can't survive the encirclement and suppression of his husband's family.

But she was angry in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. With the head of this idiot, it is useless to talk too much, and putting on a threatening or sneering appearance will only die faster.

Thinking that these water thieves could do everything, even with the calm temperament of a beautiful woman, I couldn't help but shudder deeply.

"Hahaha...... Is this a beauty resigned to her fate? That's right......" Lou Chao laughed, said happily, and stretched out his left hand, wanting to touch the face of this water spirit.

As Lou Chao's hand approached, the beautiful woman's expression became colder and colder, and she bit her silver teeth secretly, and she was about to bite her tongue and kill herself, so as not to be humiliated by this fool.

But at this moment, the big ship shook violently, as if two ships had collided.

Caught off guard, Lou Chao was suddenly loaded to the ground, like a dog eating, as embarrassed as he wanted. However, he was also very thick-skinned, and scolded and scolded: "Damn, what do those rabbit cubs do all day long, and they can't do a little thing......"

In my heart, I only thought it was an accident, and I didn't believe how strong the combat power of those merchant ships would be.

Even the army does not have such combat effectiveness!

"Big leader, the idea is very hard, most of the brothers have been killed." Until a middle-aged man barged in with a panicked look and shouted loudly.

"What?!"

There was a boom in Lou Chao's head and it exploded. Most of his thieves were killed?! This is impossible, even if there are a thousand military clans in the state, Lou Chao is confident that these people under his command can deal with them, but now they have been killed by a group of merchant ships?!

Could it be that it was the army?

No, the army shouldn't be ......

Of course, the beautiful woman could hear the sound of drums outside, but she saw that Lou Chao had a calm expression before, and she didn't have any hope in her heart, but now listening to the conversation between the two, someone actually killed the water thief, and the beautiful woman was happy in her heart, but she didn't reveal it, she just looked ahead calmly.

"Let's go out with me." After Lou Chao was shocked in his heart, he barely calmed down, and immediately rushed out when he heard the middle-aged man who came to report the news.

After rushing out of the hall, Lou Chao only felt that his eyes lit up, and after getting used to it a little, looking at the surrounding situation, he only felt that the roar in his head was endless.

This...... What's going on here? Just a moment...... Just for a moment......

I saw that the big boat they were standing on was surrounded by small boats, some of which were water thieves themselves, but more of them were small boats that Lou Chao thought were guarding merchant ships before, and the two sides were fighting each other, but it was almost a one-sided situation. The soldiers, who did not carry a banner, but wore leather armor and carried spears and short knives, were all very brave.

The most fatal thing was that the three merchant ships of the other side were showing a brazen posture at this time, and two of them had their bows crashing into the belly of the large ship they were erecting.

There was a violent shaking just now, which must have been caused by this.

Oh my God, is this a caravan?!

I'm afraid this is more powerful than the Jiangnan naval army...... Lou Chaozhi looked at the dry mouth, and looked at those soldiers, not only outrageous, but also strong and muscular.

Immediately, Lou Chao's eyes fell on the boat closest to his side, and he saw a very young looking person, wearing a leather armor, carrying a bow and arrows, wearing a bell, with a bird feather on his head, and a Tianlong Bafeng knife in his hand, rampage and vertical killing, and there was no one in one.

"Big ...... Great Chief, we ...... What are we going to do? The middle-aged man standing next to Lou Chao was already pale at the moment, and said in horror.

To say that they are also famous in this area, but they have never encountered such a situation, it is simply overwhelming.

Even when I was in Jiangnan, I never saw it!

Especially the young man who made a bite of the Heavenly Dragon Wind Knife was not at all impressed.

It's no wonder that the "Jinfan Thief" is famous on the Yangtze River, and it is also a name that has only been broken in recent years, but Lou Chao and his people fled to the north ten years ago, and fled to Bingzhou.

Ten years ago, Gan Ning was still a drooping teenager, and he was only ten years old...... (To be continued......)
