Liu Cong continued to ask: "The thousand-year-old turtle, which one weighs three or five hundred catties?" ”

"The one is three or five hundred catties, and one or two thousand catties."

"Grandma's, Gan Xingba, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, how do you eat the two-thousand-pound old turtle."

"Oh, lord, it's convenient for that old turtle to do,

Wash the whole body of the turtle, set up three stones, more than a dozen people came over, overturned the turtle, the turtle cover down, carried to the three stones and rested, and then put the turtle head there on a basin of water, put the pepper and salty salt in the water, after it was placed, burn the fire under the turtle cover and roast the turtle,

The roasted turtle couldn't stand it, so he poked his head out to drink water, just like that, the more the fire, the more the old turtle loved to drink water, and drank the pepper water, and pulled it out.

Until the old turtle is cooked, there is no dirt in its stomach, and it tastes good.

Now you can eat,

Oh, that's really, well, it's a different flavor than the meat of the finless porpoise. ”

Liu Cong also knew that Gan Ning was joking, but he was swallowed greedily, so he scolded Gan Ning: "If you don't get me a few old turtles to satisfy my hunger today, see how I clean you up." ”

Gan Ning laughed and replied with a smile: "Okay, lord, I will do my best in the end,

However, it is like this, the finless porpoise and the thousand-year-old turtle are living creatures that can be met but not sought, and it depends on our luck today.

If you're lucky, catching a few finless porpoises alive is not a problem; If you're unlucky, you won't be able to say anything. ”

Saying this, Gan Ning beckoned Liu Cong and the others to board the sampan, and the two sailors shook up and swayed the sampan against the three-masted giant ship.

The ship came down the ladder early, and everyone stepped on the ladder to the deck.

Gan Ning, this guy likes to talk about pomp and circumstance in everything, and made careful arrangements in advance for Liu Cong to board the ship and cruise.

As soon as Liu Cong stood still on the deck, Gan Ning came over and asked for instructions: "Gan Ning, the last general of the Jiangxia Naval Division, came to ask the lord when to start the boat." ”

Liu Cong ordered to start immediately,

So, Gan Ning waved the command flag in his hand, and only heard the three horns on the dock, and the two three-masted giant ships made a creaking cable pulling sound together.

When Liu Cong looked up, he saw that the huge canvas on three sides beside him was pulled by the cable and slowly rose to the mast, and a huge shadow suddenly covered the deck.

Liu Cong felt a burst of coolness, and his heart was very comfortable, and when he turned his head to look, there were two medium-sized warships next to the giant ship that were also hung with sails.

At this time, the river wind blows, and the sails make a whining and windward sound.

I saw Gan Ning wave the command flag in his hand again, and the three-masted giant ship that Liu Cong was riding, with the three warships behind, slowly sailed out of the port like a mountain moving, facing the rising sun, and sailed downstream to the surface of Huangzhou downstream.

When I saw the boundary of Huangzhou, the river surface opened up.

Liu Cong held the side of the boat and looked at the north bank of the river, only to see that at the boundary between water and sky, there was a piece of land, and a small city was lonely on this land.

Gan Ning pointed to the small city and said, "This is Huangzhou, lord, look." Then he pointed to the ground in the distance and said, "A little further ahead, you will arrive at Jianchun." ”

Liu Cong agreed, but his mind was spent on observing the wharf ships by the Huangzhou River.

I saw a few ships entering and exiting on the river bank in front of Huangzhou, and I couldn't see the scale of the wharf port, so Liu Cong muttered: "In this way, just like Gan Ning's report, there are no ships of the Dongwu Naval Division in the two counties of Huangzhou and Qichun, well, the river defense situation on the north bank of the river is clear." ”

Muttering here, Liu Cong turned his face and asked Gan Ning: "How much distance is there from Poyang Lake on Huangzhou Road." ”

Gan Ning faced the river breeze and replied with a frown: "Sailing at this speed, after crossing the surface of the Jiujiang River, you will soon reach the mouth of Poyang Lake, what's the matter, my lord, do you want to go to Poyang Lake?" ”

"Yes, didn't I tell you about the time I drank last night, today's cruise is mainly to reconnoiter the situation of the main force of the Dongwu Naval Division, you forgot."

Gan Ning smiled: "How can you forget, the last will be a public joke." ”

Liu Cong smiled slightly, without squeaking,

Gan Ning said: "Lord, from here to the mouth of Poyang Lake, the wind and water are smooth, and the boat is very fast, but when you come back, you have to wait for the wind direction, and it is sailing against the current, under normal circumstances, you can't come back today." ”

Liu Cong thought for a while and asked, "Didn't you say that Zhou Yu is now living in Poyang Lake, where he is gathering the Eastern Wu Navy Division and preparing to resist the attack of our army, right?" ”

"Yes, according to the scout, Zhou Yu fled back from Yupu Beach and didn't stop, probably saying goodbye to Sun Quan and going directly to Poyang Lake.

After staying for a day or two, the large and medium-sized ships of Jiujiang Wharf and Chaisang Wharf all returned to Poyang Lake, and some of them went to Jianye, and they never left Poyang Lake again. ”

"Okay, let's go over, go to the mouth of Poyang Lake to cruise, come back if we can come back today, and anchor on the surface of Poyang Lake if we can't come back."

Gan Ning was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Lord, oh yes, yes, I can't help it." ”

Liu Cong listened, glanced at Gan Ning with a cold face, and asked, "What's wrong, why can't I do it." ”

"Our army has only four large and small ships, and there are less than 2,000 sailors on the four ships.

Besides, I was not prepared to fight beforehand, and I was not psychologically prepared at all.

Well, this, the main force of the Wu Bing Naval Division is in Poyang Lake, at least 100 large and small warships, and thousands of sailors.

There is a huge difference in the strength of the two forces, if we rush into Poyang Lake, the Wu soldiers and sailors will definitely intercept and kill.

As soon as the war starts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to withdraw for a while, so you can see how it is. ”

Liu Cong asked coldly: "Did I say that I would march into Poyang Lake, and did I say that I would fight with Wu Bingshui Division?" ”

Gan Ning was asked, and was stunned for a while, and said, "No, the lord didn't say it." ”

"Okay, immediately order the boat to cruise to the surface of the Jiujiang River, if there are no Wu soldiers and sailors on the surface of the Jiujiang River, our fleet will sail directly to the mouth of Poyang Lake."

Gan Ning listened, so he had to give an order in confusion, and the four warships lined up and cruised down the river to the surface of the Jiujiang River.

It turned out that Jiujiang City at this time was on the south bank of the Great River.

From the surface of the river, the north gate of Jiujiang City stands majestically, and the trees in the corners of the city cross the city wall to show,

Near the shore, there was a wharf of considerable size, and although there were also small ships coming in and out, a large warship was not moored.

Liu Cong laughed when he saw it, and said to Gan Ning: "The two battles in Yupu Beach scared Sun Quan Zhou Yu, this is not, he has already admitted defeat, and all the sailor ships are hidden, hehehehe, such an important place as Jiujiang is a military ship that does not dare to anchor, hehehehe, it can be seen how much Sun Quan Zhou Yu values his own sailor,

Well, let's be honest, the reason why Sun Quan and Zhou Yu have been rampant for many years has absolutely something to do with the fact that they have a decent sailor force in their hands.

Hehe, can't I clean it up when it's hidden?

The rabbit was hiding in the grass, wasn't it also caught and eaten by the goshawk, hahahaha. ”197
