Chapter 15: Prelude

The next day, Wang Chong picked out ten reliable brothers in Jinfan and asked them to escort Feng Yan and Feng Shan's master and servant back to Chaisang.

Originally, Gan Ning suggested that Feng Yan be left behind, but Wang Chong denied it, after all, such a large batch of materials, if there was no Feng Yan, the head of the family, relying on a housekeeper in Fengshan District would not be able to call the shots no matter what, not to mention that Feng Bao was Feng Yan's only son, with such a bargaining chip, Feng Yan would never dare to mess around, unless he risked his son's life.

Among the materials that Feng Yan promised to exchange for Jinfan, except for the 100,000 stone grain and grass that were ready-made, everything else needed some time to prepare.

It just so happened that the current Jinfan didn't need such a huge batch of materials, so the two sides agreed that Feng Yan would return to Chaisang to prepare first, and when Jinfan needed it, Wang Chong would naturally send someone to Feng's house to contact, and this time could not exceed two months.

This is not only because Wang Chong needs to race against time in the next time, Feng Yan himself is not at ease to let his timid son stay in this group of fierce and vicious Jinfan all the time.

――――――――――

Sou!

The sharp arrow flashed away like silver light, and the straw man one hundred and twenty steps away burst open, listening to the bursts of cheers from all around, the corners of Wang Chong's mouth couldn't help but hook up a faint smile.

At this time, it was the middle of April of the fourth year of Jian'an, and Jinfan had been in this fishing village for more than half a month.

After more than half a month of diligent practice, Wang Chong's martial arts have become more mature and stronger, especially archery, the progress is even faster, the powerful strength with the eagle's eye-like accurate vision, the distance within a hundred steps is enough for Wang Chong to hit a hundred shots, and easily penetrate the heavy iron armor.

"Shaolin, well done, with your current progress, I believe that in the near future, I'm afraid that my brother's archery skills will only be willing to bow down!" Gan Ning applauded, and during this period of time, he completely saw Wang Chong's visible growth.

"Brother is polite, I'm still far away!" Wang Chong shook his head and said with emotion, "I heard that in the past, Lu Buyuanmen shot halberds and could hit the tip of the halberd from a hundred and fifty paces away, such a divine shot is really incredible. ”

"You kid, what are you trying to be modest again?" Gan Ning grabbed Wang Chong's shoulders and said with a smile, "Although Lu Bu has the courage of an overlord, with your potential, as long as you practice diligently, your future achievements will never be under Lu Bu." ”

Wang Chong also smiled when he heard this: "Ah, what my brother said is that it's a pity that Lu Bu is dead, and he has no chance to compete with him in this life!" ”

You must know that in the past half a month, in addition to archery, Wang Chong's marksmanship that integrates the concept of Tai Chi has also tended to be perfected, coupled with his current gradual growth to no less than Gan Ning's physical strength, the two of them have fought each other, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner without a few hundred moves, which is also the biggest source of Wang Chong's confidence.

It's a pity that in the past few days, Wang Chong feels that his strength growth has gradually stagnated, and he is afraid that he is about to reach the limit of his body, which makes him really regretful.

"Although Lu Bu is dead, isn't there still a little overlord in this Jiangdong? Are you still afraid that there will be no opponents? Gan Ning's eyes burst out with a ball of essence, and his fighting spirit was full of intent.

"Ah, Little Overlord Sun Ce, I'm looking forward to it too!" Wang Chong smiled, then turned around and asked Zhuge Jin, "Ziyu, has the sentinel sent out come back?" ”

"The leader of the Hui Dynasty has returned an hour ago!"

"Very well, bring him to the hall to meet me!" Casually throwing the longbow in his hand to the guards, Wang Chong walked quickly to the hall, and said to Gan Ning beside him, "Now that most of my Jinfan's wounded have healed, plus the drills in the past half a month, although it is not an elite, it should be more than enough to deal with the rabble in Poyang Lake." ”

"Finally ready to do it?" Gan Ning narrowed his eyes, "To be honest, my whole body is moldy after I have been waiting for a long time!" ”

"What about a brother? I've been waiting impatiently! Wang Chong's expression was grim, "Regardless of whether the sentry detectives have figured out the distribution of troops on Qianshan Island, the time of the attack is set for tonight, and it is a big deal to change the sneak attack to a strong attack!" ”

In Poyang Lake, there are dozens of large and small water thief forces, Wang Chong will naturally not be stupid enough to go to clean up, as long as Jinfan can get the strongest ones in it, the rest will naturally fall to the wind.

In the past few days, the sentries sent by Wang Chong have already figured out the situation in Poyang Lake, and the strongest of them is stationed on Qianshan Island.

Qianshan Island is a big island in Poyang Lake, the population of the island is about 4,000, remove the old and weak women and children, close to 2,000 people who can fight, the leader's surname is Li Mingtao, the word Boyun, born in nine **, was originally a leader under Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and later Zhou Tai Jiang Qin took refuge in Sun Ce, and Li Tao came to Poyang Lake with nine ** who did not want to join the army.

With his powerful force, Li Tao soon stood out among the many water thieves, and his power became more and more huge, and he captured the most suitable livable Qianshan Island as his base, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while.

Later, in order to counter Li Tao, other water thief forces in Poyang Lake spontaneously formed a huge alliance, which did not interfere with each other on weekdays, but if they encountered Li Tao's attack, they would unite with each other.

The number of people in this alliance is several times that of Li Tao's people, although they are all selfish and have a weak relationship with each other, but Li Tao does not dare to provoke easily, for fear of forcing too quickly and causing the other party to hate the enemy, so in a few years, the two sides have formed a strange balance, Li Tao does not take the initiative to attack, and the other party obviously does not have the courage to find Li Tao's bad luck.

Fortunately, there is such a so-called alliance, which greatly restricts Li Tao's development, otherwise where would Wang Chong interfere in today's Poyang Lake?

And with the arrival of Jinfan, I believe that this fragile balance will collapse overnight, Wang Chong's purpose is to unify Poyang Lake, so whether it is Li Tao or this alliance composed of many water thief forces, Wang Chong will not allow them to exist.

Since the Water Thieves Alliance usually acts separately, Li Tao naturally became the first target of Wang Chong's extermination, and once Li Tao is destroyed, the Water Thieves Alliance, who feels the huge pressure, will definitely take the initiative to gather together to fight against Jinfan, and when the time comes, Wang Chong can seize the opportunity to wipe out the other party.

So far, the number of Jinfan has expanded to an unprecedented 1,100 people, in addition to the five hundred old Jinfan and the three hundred Feng family servants who were recruited, the remaining 300 people are the prisoners who surrendered after killing a few groups of water thieves when Jinfan went out during this time.

Among the 1,100 people, Wang Chong singled out 200 of the weaker ones and assigned them to Zhuge Jin as baggage soldiers, leaving 900 people, 200 of whom were Wang Chong's personal guards to protect Wang Chong's safety, Ren Jiang's team was re-replenished by Wang Chong back to 200 scale, and the men and horses under Gan Ning's command were expanded to 500.

The reason why Wang Chong's men and horses are less than Gan Ning is because in the next battle, Gan Ning's troops will always act as the main force, followed by Ren Jiang, and Wang Chong's men and horses will only be dispatched if the battle is stalemate or Jinfan is at an absolute disadvantage.
