Chapter 55 The fog locks the river, and water thieves infest

When the autumn water comes, the cold mountains of the hundred rivers turn green.

The flow is so big, between the two Zhuzhu cliffs, there is no argument about cattle and horses.

Lu Bu stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, letting the autumn breeze blow on his face, hearing the autumn water lapping on the riverbank, watching the water and rivers surging, and the mountains and mountains.

Behind him stood three generals, in order of Gan Ning, Wei Yan, and Gao Shun.

Because of the long journey to Yangzhou, Lu Bu was worried that Huang Wudie would not be able to endure this hardship, so he sent Huang Zhong to return to Xingyang with the gold and silver offered by Huang Wudie and Gan Ning. He took his own fifty Jinfan soldiers to Yangzhou by water with Gan Ning, Wei Yan, and Gao Shun, and he also gave Huang Zhong a very secret and important task. If Huang Zhong can complete this task, then he will save more than a month to set up the tiger prison to wait for the Kwantung princes.

On both sides of the Yangtze River, the heavy rocks are extremely high, and the mountains are stacked. The cliff is dangerous, and the berry moss is rotten. From time to time, there is a cry of apes in the mountains, the sound of grief is overwhelming, and the liver and intestines are broken, which makes the listeners sigh with feeling.

Gan Ning took a step forward, pointed to the gap in front of him, and said: "Lord, after the pass in front, you will reach the Jingjiang River, the Jingjiang River suddenly widens, and the "Yangtze River is thousands of miles long, and the dangerous section is in the Jingjiang River" refers to here. ”

Wei Yan soothed his arm and said with a smile: "Xingba is quite familiar with this Jingchu land. ”

After Gan Ning heard this, he smiled: "When I was a Jinfan thief, I went to Fuling in the west, Nanyang in the north, and Hukou in the east. ”

Who knew that Gan Ning's unintentional words immediately aroused Lu Bu's interest, if he followed Jia Xu's second strategy, followed the example of Han Gaozu into Sichuan and Shu, and then accumulated a lot of money, and when the world changed, he waved his army into the Central Plains. So attacking Jingchu, Jiangdong is imperative, but how to fight, Jia Xu just gave a general direction, and did not elaborate, now hearing Gan Ning's words, Lu Bu suddenly became interested, turned to Gan Ning Zhengse and said: "Xingba, if you give you 100,000 elite soldiers, let you attack Jiangdong from Yizhou, how should you march." ”

Seeing Lu Bu's solemn expression, Gan Ning put away his appearance and thought for a long time before replying: "The land of Jiangdong has relied on the Yangtze River to resist since ancient times, and if you take Jiangdong from Xishu, there are two ways to choose. ”

Lu Bu was shocked: "Two roads? ”

Gan Ning Ji Shou said: "However, this first road is the sister return, Zigui is the west gateway of Jiangdong, and if you break Zigui, you can go from Linfang, Yiling, and take Nanjun directly, and you can enter the Central Plains to capture Nanjun, and you can attack Jiangdong below, which is a key place." ”

Gan Ning paused and continued: "This second way is to take advantage of Wuxi Nanban, and walk from Pasir County to the three counties of Sha, Lingling, and Guiyang, and then you can directly attack Jiangdong. However, no matter which way it is, their premise is this Jingzhou. If you want to attack Jiangdong from Western Shu, you must take Jingzhou first. ”

"Papapa" Lu Bu stroked his palms and laughed: "Xingba is really a good general, and there is such a good plan hidden in his belly." ”

Gan Ning heard Lu Bu's praise, coughed dryly, and said, "Lord Miao praised." ”

Just as a few people were talking happily, the boat they were riding drove out of the gap. The scene is really as Gan Ning said, as soon as that gap comes out, the scenery on both sides of the strait takes on a new look.

I saw that the mountains on both sides of the river have become plains, and on the vast fields, the land is flat, and there are good fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, it is planted back and forth.

"What a splendid river and mountain" Lu Bu looked at the thousands of miles of wilderness, and secretly admired in his heart. At the same time, the ambition in my heart is also rising.

This great river and mountain is my Chinese territory, how can he be touched by foreign people, this thousands of miles of wilderness, how can Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others have it, one day, I will plant my Lu character battle flag in every corner of this big man.

Lu Bu looked at this mountain and river, stretched out his hand to wipe a piece, then clenched his fist tightly, and muttered: "One day, I will reign in this world." ”

Lu Bu said this, as if he was saying it to himself, and as if he was saying it to Gan Ning and them.

Feeling Lu Bu's ambition, Gan Ning and the others suddenly boiled with enthusiasm, and they all bowed their heads: "We are all willing to be the vanguard of the Lord, cut through the thorns and thorns for the Lord, and smooth all the stones." ”

The autumn fog locks the river, like a mirage bridge.

Lu Bu and others had been driving on the Yangtze River for three days, and at this time they had reached the Jiangxia boundary.

In the early morning, the weather suddenly became foggy, the visibility was only 20 zhang, the fog was heavy, and the sky and the earth were white.

After trekking in the fog for more than an hour, Gan Ning frowned, pulled out the halberd in his bag, and said to Lu Bu: "Lord Qiqi, the fog locks the river, it is the time when water thieves are infested, so we must be careful." ”

Regarding Gan Ning's words, Lu Bu has no doubt that he was born in the north and only understands some water, compared to Gan Ning, a Jinfan thief who has been across the Yangtze River for more than ten years, he is naturally incomparable.

Looking at Gan Ning's resolute face, Lu Bu muttered: "Xingba, I'm not familiar with water warfare, now it's up to you to command everyone, if any water thieves dare to attack, kill them some." ”

Gan Ning immediately surrendered his promise, and then turned around and gathered his Jinfan subordinates together, and said loudly: "Brothers, the fog locks the river, it is the time when the thieves are infested, you all give me a clever point, if something happens to the lord, I can only apologize with death." ”

These people have followed Gan Ning from birth to death for many years, and now they are under Lu Bu's account, and they should serve Lu Bu, hearing Gan Ning's orders, they all agreed, and they all took out steel knives from the cabin, staring around with sharp eyes.

Lu Bu and the others had a total of ten boats, in addition to the passengers, there were also some grain and grass, equipment, and Lu Bu's red rabbit horse. Each ship had ten people left behind, and under the command of Gan Ning, hundreds of boats competed on the river, and the ships went with the flow. Gan Ning personally drove a boat back and forth on the river, exploring the way for the boats behind, this Lu Bu belonged to the northerners, did not know the nature of the water, if something happened in his own hands, even if he died, he would not be able to escape the blame. Therefore, Gan Ning seemed to be very careful.

Wei Yan belongs to Jingzhou, grew up in the water since he was a child, and is naturally not afraid of the water thieves in the river, I saw him holding a hook sickle to protect Lu Bu's left and right, and his eyes as big as copper bells scanned the foggy river from time to time.

Gao Shun was a ranger when he was young, and he traveled to the north and south of the river, and he was not afraid of water battles, but he was not as handy as Gan Ning, Wei Yan was so handy, even so, he also held a big knife to protect Lu Bu.

In the thick fog, dozens of heads suddenly emerged from the river, and they took advantage of the cover of the thick fog to quietly approach the building boat of Lu Bu and others.

They were as skilled as water ghosts, and in the blink of an eye they had climbed into the boat.

The Jinfan tribe has lived on the river for more than ten years, and although their eyesight is impaired, they have always pricked up their ears to listen to the movement on the river, on the smoky river. The ears tend to work better than the eyes.

Gan Ning heard a few "bangs" from the river, and immediately knew that someone was out of the water, and he quickly made a gesture towards Lu Bu and Jinfan's people, and everyone understood and hid into the cabin one after another.
