The bright moonlight eclipsed the surrounding stars, making them look extraordinarily sparse.

Wang Chong put his hands on the back of his head, lying flat on the deck, looking at the bright moon in the sky with his eyes, and the sound of the river crashing on the shore was heard in his ears from time to time.

Some people say that the moon is the hometown of Ming, and when you see the moon, especially when you see the full moon, you will be very homesick, and Wang Chong always scoffed at this in the past, but now, he believes it.

Because...... He was really homesick.

"It's a pity...... I can't go back......" sighed softly, sad emotions welled up in his heart, Wang Chong's nose was sour, and he faintly felt the urge to cry.

Three days ago, Wang Chong was fascinated by reading a novel of the Three Kingdoms, and it was not until late at night that he couldn't bear the tiredness that came from the layers and fell asleep in a daze.

But when he woke up, Wang Chong found that he suddenly crossed time and space, directly from the 21st century to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty more than 1,800 years ago.

That's right, for this troubled era where fierce generals are like clouds and strategists are like rain, Wang Chong is indeed full of yearning, but he yearns for yearnings and yearnings, and he really doesn't want to cross it.

It is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled person.

The Three Kingdoms is an era of smoke and human life, as an otaku who lives in peacetime and doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, this cruel world makes Wang Chong full of fear.

At this time, it was March of the fourth year of Jian'an, and Lu Fengxian was dead; Gongsun Boqi was trapped in Yijing, and Yuan Benchu's unification of Hebei could not be stopped by manpower; The dry bones in the tomb of Yuan Highway will soon return to heaven; Liu Xuande is obscure, and he is still hiding in Xudu to grow vegetables; Sun Bofu swept across the Jiangdong, and there was no rival on both sides of the Jianghuai River; And Wang Chong's current identity is a leader under Jinfan Ganning.

Wang Chong, the word Shaolin, a native of Ba County, Guanghe was born in four years, nineteen years old, his parents died in the war when he was a child, and he was raised by his elderly grandfather.

Two years ago, Wang Chong's grandfather died of illness due to work, and since then he has no worries, but when he was last year, he went down the river with Gan Ning, and since then he has started a business without capital.

All those who are wearing brocade clothes, carrying bows and arrows, with bird feathers on their heads, and bells on their waists, and their maverick dresses and their courage to fight without fear of death make the name of Jinfan resounding on both sides of the river in just one year.

But when you hear the bell ringing, you will know who it is.

Jin Fan is famous, whether it is a merchant who comes and goes on the river or a rogue who is also a water thief, they all change their color when they hear it, and they are afraid of it like a tiger, even if it is the Jingzhou Navy stationed in Dongting Lake, they have also failed in repeated expeditions, and they are played by Jinfan between applause.

During the day, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao sent someone to send a letter, in which Liu Biao really spent a lot of pen and ink to express his appreciation for Gan Ning, and did not say the key point until the end, that is, he hoped that Gan Ning could lead the people north to join him.

Liu Biao, as one of the 'Eight Horses', is famous in this era, and now he is sincerely invited, which naturally makes Gan Ning quite excited, not to mention that Gan Ning himself does not want to hide his head and tail all his life, and shrink in this three-inch river water.

But Wang Chong, who knows history, knows very well that Liu Biao's intentions are just like the Jade Emperor in "Journey to the West" who recruited Sun Wukong to go to heaven to be Bi Ma Wen, which is nothing more than to relieve the disaster, where will Gan Ning really be reused?

Wang Chong didn't think about dissuading Gan Ning, but let's not say whether Gan Ning would listen, even if he really persuaded Gan Ning with his incorruptible tongue, what should Jinfan's next step be?

“…… That's it, if you come, you will be safe, and take one step at a time. ”

When the cold river wind hit, Wang Chong shivered, and then got up and returned to the cabin.

————————

The next day, because he slept too late the night before, Wang Chong didn't wake up until noon.

"Chief, Leader Gan asked you to come over." As soon as the washing was completed, Wang Chong's personal guards came to report.

"Ah, got it." Wang Chong responded, thinking that Gan Ning must have asked him to discuss the defection to Liu Biao.

At present, Jinfan has a total of four building ships, and the rest have dozens of ships, Wang Chong, as one of the three leaders under Gan Ning's command, led two hundred men and horses to guard one of the building ships, and usually does not stay on the same ship as Gan Ning.

Riding the ship to the main ship of Jinfan, and going up to the third floor of the attic, Wang Chong found that in addition to himself, Gan Ning and the other two leaders of Jinfan were already waiting there to drink and chat.

"Brother, Brother Ren, Brother Zhang." Wang Chong came to his place, raised his wine glass and said to the three of them, "I'm sorry, the three brothers have been waiting for a long time, and I really don't want to go." ”

With that, Wang Chong drank the wine in one gulp.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the wine was very light and difficult to drink, although Wang Chong was from the 21st century, he knew nothing about winemaking, and now he can only adapt.

"It's okay, Shaolin is recovering from a serious illness, and it really deserves a lot of rest."

Zhang Ling, who spoke, is in his twenties, is Gan Ning's hair, this person has a gentle personality, loves to laugh, rarely loses his temper on weekdays, has excellent popularity in Jinfan, and his prestige is only below Gan Ning.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you come or not, Zi Pre (Zhang Lingzi) and I have already discussed the results with the leader." An unfriendly snort made Wang Chong subconsciously frown.

Ren Jiang, whose name is Zigang, is in his thirties, with a full beard, a body that is stronger than Gan Ning, a fiery personality, extremely strong force, and when fighting, he has been competing with the equally belligerent Wang Chong for the position of the vanguard, no one obeys anyone, and the relationship between them is not harmonious.

"Shaolin, sit, eat something to fill your stomach first, let's talk while eating." Gan Ning waved his hand and motioned for Wang Chong to sit down.

Gan Ning looks heroic and resolute, has a tough outline, a pair of sword eyebrows are extremely rich, has a bold and righteous personality, and is also a rare martial artist, Wang Chong's predecessor and Ren Jiang only obey him.

Wang Chong was indeed a little hungry, and when he heard what Gan Ning said, he unceremoniously ripped off a chicken leg and gnawed it.

"Shaolin, for yesterday's letter from Liu Biao to solicit my Jinfan, the three of us just discussed, and we all think that this matter is feasible, after all, it is not a way for us to hide in this Dongting Lake, and to take refuge in Liu Biao, we can just take advantage of this to get rid of the thief and become an official army, and then with the ability of you and my brothers, it will be easy to make contributions in the future, I don't know what you think?"

Really!

Wang Chong's heart sank, and he casually put the remaining half of the chicken leg back in its place: "Brother, do you want to listen to the truth or lie?" ”

"Oh?" A flash of surprise flashed in Gan Ning's eyes, and he asked with a smile, "Could it be that Shaolin doesn't agree with taking refuge in Liu Biao?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Chong nodded, "Although Liu Jingsheng is a relative of the Han family, and he also has a very high reputation in Shilin, but in my opinion, he is just a rotten Confucian, and he has a false appearance, not to mention enterprising, I am afraid that it is not enough to even defend Chengdu, not to mention that Liu Jingsheng is only known to the world, and my brothers are just a reckless, if they really go to take refuge, the tiger will be in a cage, and it will be difficult to have a bright future." ”

"This ......," Gan Ning frowned, "Shaolin, what do you say...... Is that an exaggeration? ”

"Brother, don't leave Liu Biao to chance." Wang Chong reminded in a deep voice, "With the wisdom of my brother, can't I really guess the true intention of Liu Jingsheng's letter?" ”

"......" Gan Ning was speechless, silent for a while, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Ling, "Zi Pre, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Ling thought for a while and replied: "Shaolin's worries are not unreasonable, my Jinfan has been in great trouble this year, and many of the looted merchant ships are from the Jingxiang clan, if we go north to take refuge, even if Liu Biao does not directly hand us over to these clans for the sake of reputation, I am afraid that we will only be sent away by a casual job, which we did not consider before." ”

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Gan Ning covered his head with his hands and sighed dejectedly: "It was I who was too eager for quick success and profit, and almost put my brothers in danger." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Ling persuaded: "Brother just wants to find a way out for his brothers as soon as possible, and there is no need to blame himself." ”

"Shaolin, do you have any good suggestions?" Gan Ning faintly felt that today's Wang Chong was very different from the usual simple-minded Wang Chong, who only knew how to fight bravely, so he asked.

"Brother, now isn't the time to think about this, is it?" Wang Chong shook his head and asked, "For the letter sent by Liu Biao, did my brother see anything wrong?" ”

"Wrong?" Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then took out the letter from his arms and read it seriously.

"Doesn't seem to be wrong?" Gan Ning said and handed the letter to Zhang Ling, "Zi Pre, you can also take a look." ”

Among the several leaders of Jinfan, Zhang Ling has the lowest force, but his mind is the most flexible, and he has always played the role of a think tank, so if everyone has any questions on weekdays, the first person who wants to consult is Zhang Ling.

"It seems that there are indeed some problems, but I can't say what is wrong for a while." Zhang Ling frowned and said to Wang Chong, "Shaolin, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up." ”

Wang Chong smiled, calm and calm: "Actually, the problem lies in the time agreed between Liu Biao and us!" ”

"When?"

"That's right." Wang Chong nodded and analyzed, "If Liu Biao really recruited us, why did he have to ask us to arrive at the Public Security Port before today's Shen Shi?" Won't it work in a few days? This is too unconscionable. ”

"I see, this Liu Biao is indeed a little too anxious, but what does this mean?"

"It's very simple, Liu Biao has lost patience with us, and this solicitation letter is more just a temptation." Wang Chong replied, "If my expectations are not bad, Liu Biao must be prepared for both hands this time, if we can rush to the public security port before Shen Shi to return to Shun, otherwise, what we will face next is probably another conquest of the Jingzhou Navy." ”

"Shhh

Gan Ning gasped when he heard this: "There is such a mystery hidden in this letter? ”

"It is better to believe that there is something than not to believe it, and the possibility of Shaolin analysis is still very high." Zhang Ling said solemnly, "Brother, if we are not ready to attach ourselves to Liu Biao, then this Dongting Lake, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay." ”

Gan Ning said in annoyance: "But where can we go without this Dongting Lake?" ”

"Poyang Lake!"
