(Thank you Dameng, Zhao Wuxian 2014)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the interrogation of Zhang Min, Ma Han also considered the handling of this matter.

Wealth, received; Grain, I want it; people, all imprisoned. In response to Ma Han's previous prediction, Zhang Min is sending money to the door.

Ma Han ordered Zhou Cang to lead more than ten soldiers to thoroughly search Zhang's ship, all the boxes and bilges were opened and carefully inspected, and even sent Lou boatmen to dive into the bottom of the ship to search for any fish that had slipped through the net.

Ma Han and Zhao Yun discussed secretly behind closed doors.

Inside the finch room, Ma Han paced back and forth, looking excited: "As soon as I set foot in Xuzhou, someone gave me such a big gift package. Good luck, hahaha. ”

Zhao Yun's expression was solemn: "Today's matter is really dangerous, Wangcheng Shou takes it as a warning, and tries to avoid people of unknown origin in the future." ”

Ma Han also put away his smile, knelt on the ground, and saluted Zhao Yun Surong to be taught. Ma Han didn't say anything, we have compared it before, and my brother's skills are not inferior to yours, and this kind of small role is not in your eyes. Zhao Yun didn't say anything like strengthening the defense in the future, or living in seclusion. Because they all know it's not realistic. In this troubled era, don't say that a horse captain in the Ma Haw district, even if it is a county too guard, a state assassin history, he must be put on the battlefield and not avoid arrows and stones. In this world of great controversy at the end of the Han Dynasty, where can we find an absolutely safe place? Zhao Yun just reminded Ma Han to pay attention to his daily vigilance, and when he really arrived on the battlefield, he had to fight how to fight.

With security out of the way, let's focus on how to take advantage of this windfall.

Zhao Yunjian was led by Zhou Cang to lead twenty white wolf horsemen, and two hundred boat soldiers to stay on the ship, responsible for guarding the prisoners and guarding the money and food.

Ma Han nodded, this arrangement is more appropriate. Commanding cavalry battles is undoubtedly Zhao Yun's strong point, and Zhou Cang's water nature is good, not to mention loyalty. It's best to stay and watch the boat.

"What does Zilong think this gang should do?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and pointed to the north: "Give it to Caozhou Mu, you can kill two birds with one stone." ”

Ma Han touched his chin: "Let's talk about it." ”

Zhao Yun sorted out his thoughts and said: "Cao Gong got the enemy who killed his father, and his hatred was vented, and Wuyuan (Tao Qian has moved to defend Wuyuan) is strong, and it is difficult to attack, so he may be able to use this to stop the army, and because of this, he owes us a great favor." And Tao Gong's side, if it is because of my help. The siege of Xuzhou was solved, and the people eliminated the scourge of swords and soldiers. ”

Ma Han first nodded, then shook his head, and said: "This situation is indeed possible, but it is unlikely, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou is not as simple as avenging his father." This person is a political talent. There will never be a war without interest because of hatred. ”

Ma Han dipped his fingers in the water as he spoke, drew a map of the world's forces that he had already been familiar with on the case, and talked eloquently: "Zilong, come and see, this is Cao Cao's Yanzhou forces. It is the land of the Central Plains, and to the north is Yuan Shao, which is an ally. To the west is the land of Jingfu, although there is the rebellion of Li and Guo. But the Son of Heaven lives in the middle, and it is not something that Cao Cao and his state pastor can ask about. Next is to the south, Jingzhou Liu Biao. Riding into Xiangyang alone, combining vertical and horizontal, the entire Jingzhou has been integrated into a new one, and the strong are attached, with 100,000 armor, and its momentum is blazing. This is not where Cao Cao dares to stretch out his hand right now. So if Cao Cao's Yanzhou power wants to develop, he has to assume an opponent and draw up a direction of attack, where can he choose? ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is only east." ”

Ma Han pointed to the topographic map of Xuzhou: "Tao Qian is old, the second son is weak, there is a lack of follow-up, the army is not strong, and the subordinates have different hearts. Such a weak enemy, who will you fight if you don't hit him? Cao Cao has coveted Xuzhou for a long time, and he has not been able to find a suitable excuse, this stupid act is the best excuse sent by God, but it is too painful. ”

Ma Han finally concluded: "War is a continuation of politics, and as long as there are political interests, this battle will have to be fought." Just a Zhang Min, has not yet ended the energy of the war. ”

"War is the continuation of politics...... Zhao Yun chewed on Ma Han's sentence repeatedly, nodded again and again, and was convinced, but only slightly unwilling, "In this way, although Zhang Min fell into our hands, he couldn't use it." ”

"No, at least he has a role, and a big one." Ma Han pushed open the pane and looked west, "He can save lives, save many lives." I don't want Cao Cao to be grateful, not to be grateful to Tao Qian, but there is one thing that must be, and it is also the most worthwhile - that is the hearts of the people in Xuzhou! ”

Zhao Yun was about to ask a Zhang Min how he could win the hearts of the people of Xuzhou, but a report came from outside the cabin: "Yu Cheng Shou, when Zhou Junhou was searching, he encountered a tricky matter, please ask the city guard to take a look at it in person to make a decision." ”

Tricky stuff? Ma Han exchanged a look with Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "He really found out what tricks." Treasure? It was already there, and it wouldn't make him feel tricky; Grain? No matter how much you can't conjure up; If it's a weapon, this guy will only be happy and won't say anything tricky...... Wait a minute! You won't find any big living people, will you? ”

The soldier had a surprised expression on his face: "The city guard is really like a god, and it is indeed a person who has been searched - a woman!" ”

……

This is the smallest of Zhang's more than a dozen mixed passenger and cargo ships, and it is only inhabited by a few servants who cook food and drift clothes, and the boats are full of vegetables and pots and pans. This ship was searched once when it set off in Huaiyin, and it was never checked again, first, because it was inconvenient, and secondly, the ship was very small, and it was clear at a glance, and there was basically nothing to obstruct the eyes. It's just this most inconspicuous boat, which actually hides a secret that is not big or small.

The air of the boat was filled with a thick smell of vegetables, firewood, and fireworks, but Ma Han didn't realize it, he, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, and the guards were all shocked by what they saw. In front of them was a large box, large enough to hold a person—a girl in a plain dress, with snow-skinned skin and picturesque eyebrows, curled up on her side in the box.

Her hands and legs are naturally bent, her forehead is smooth and full, her eyebrows are fine, her eyes are closed, her eyelids are white and delicate, and her long and dense eyelashes tremble lightly with her breathing. The facial features are beautiful and exquisite, the chest of the slightly ben rises and falls slightly, and the sleeping posture is peaceful and quiet, which is a good picture of begonia spring sleep. It's just that it's dusk, and it's not a good time to sleep, especially not to sleep so deeply in front of everyone. Obviously, this kind of sleep is not normal.

Zhou Cang said in a deep voice that was not like thunder on weekdays: "According to these servants. When this woman got on the boat, she was tied up and covered to live with them, because she was a woman, her subordinates were not strict in checking, and she asked the city guard to surrender her guilt. ”

Zhou Cang saw that the city guard stared at the beautiful woman in front of him, seemed to be absent-minded, and his heart was a little relieved, and continued: "This woman has been drugged, and there is nothing else to do......

Ma Han's mind was indeed attracted by the girl in front of him, because he knew this girl, to be precise. He knew the green jade bracelet on the wrist of the girl Hao - this was the girl who was tailed in Guangling City three days ago!

So that's the case, the two men who were in the tail line that day were actually Zhang's servants, well, it should be said that they were Zhang Min's soldiers. Maybe they've been staring at it for a long time, but it's just inconvenient to start, and their arrival has given them a chance to make a move.

So. Zhang Min kidnapped people, is it simply because of beauty, or is there another reason?

Ma Hao waved his hand and told everyone to withdraw. Let the servant wake up the girl, and at the same time bring Zhang Min to ask. When asked, things are actually quite simple. After Zhang Min fled to Guangling, he went out one day. When I met this woman, I immediately fell in love with her posture and followed her. After peeking into his residence, someone came to the door to propose his relatives. But with Zhang Min's appearance, when he encounters the kind of scholarly family that is not confused by gift money, the result can be imagined.

The failure of the courtship is not a big deal for a strongman like Zhang Min who was born in a yellow scarf, and if the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come, but you have to choose the right time. When Ma Han's team of building boats appeared, Zhang Min waited for the time to be ripe, and immediately ordered someone to keep an eye on her, confirm that the woman was in the house, and then kidnap people and take her on board.

Because he has been under the strict monitoring of Ma Han in the past few days, although the beauty has arrived, Zhang Min has never had a chance to get his hands on it. I wanted to wait for the fleet to be captured, and then I would be entertained with beautiful women and wine, but I didn't expect to come to the bamboo basket to draw water and send money, food and beauty.

At this time, the guards reported that the woman had woken up.

Ma Han came to the Feilu cabin on the second floor of the building ship - this was originally the residence and attack and defense place of the bow and crossbow building boatmen, but the building ship soldiers under Ma Han were not enough, and the bow and crossbow building boat soldiers were even less, less than thirty people, which were respectively configured in the two building ships, which had no effect at all. And Ma Han didn't plan to defend against the ship, so he changed Feilu into a residence.

The hatch opened, and several servants saluted in fear. There was no need to embarrass these hired women who only knew how to do what they were told, waved their hands and let them out.

The girl had freshened up, and sat down on her knees, like a frightened fawn, with wide black eyes, looking anxiously at the horse that was approaching step by step. When Ma Han came out of the shadows, and a room of candlelight was reflected on his face and body, he seemed to hear the girl let out a long breath, and her whole body was relieved. Ma Han knew that it should be his own image, which made the girl feel comfortable and relaxed.

Whether in modern or ancient times, the image of a sunny boy like Ma Han can always be trusted by girls.

The girl had obviously learned the ins and outs of the matter from the mouths of the servants, and respectfully folded her sleeves as a salute, and her voice was like a yellow warbler: "The people's daughter Gan is grateful for the grace of the captain for saving her life......"

The girl said a bunch of words of gratitude later, but Ma Han didn't care at all, and his attention was attracted by the word "Gan's". If it were somewhere else, the word "Gan's" would never cause Ma Han to lose his mind so much, just because this is Xuzhou, and the Liu Bei associated with it is hundreds of miles away...... Could it be that coincidental?

Ma Han subconsciously asked, "Who are you?" ”

The girl Gan replied: "The daughter of the people was originally from Peiguo, because the Cao army invaded Pengcheng, Xiao Pei also suffered from the pond fish, so he fled east with his clan to Guangling to temporarily avoid the army. I wanted to return to my hometown after Cao Jun retired from the army, but I didn't expect to be kidnapped by that shameless person. ”

Xiao Pei? Historically, whether the Gan clan was a small Pei clan or not, Ma Han did not know, so this information was useless.

"What's your name?" Ma Hanfang asked, and suddenly realized that it was in vain again, because he didn't know what Gan's name was in history.

Two red clouds floated on the girl's white jade-like cheeks, biting her lip, hesitating.

Ma Hangang said: "If it's inconvenient, forget it......"

And the girl blurted out at this time: "The girl's name is 'Mei'......" As a result, when she heard Ma Han's words, she suddenly blushed and was ashamed.

Ganmei, the Gan clan in history, is called Ganmei, Xiao Peiren's, and all of them are on the right page. If she took off her dress and showed a white and flawless body comparable to the best white jade, it would be more certain. It's a pity that Ma Han's familiarity with the Three Kingdoms has not yet reached this kind of journey, so he can't be sure that she is the "white jade beauty" in history.

Leaning less, the blush faded slightly, and Gan Mei made a request softly: "Can you please ask the commander to send someone to take the people's daughter back to Guangling, the people's daughter has been missing for a few days, and the clansmen must be worried." ”

Ma Han pondered for a while and said, "If it is a peaceful year, I can hire a small boat and send a few people to escort you back to Guangling." But now that there are many wars, the place is not quiet, there are too few people to protect it, and if there are too many people, it will affect my mission...... It is better to follow my fleet north first, not far, at most to the East China Sea. Then, when my fleet returns to Guangling after completing its mission, I will naturally send you back by the way. Before that, you can work with those servant women and boat girls to help the soldiers cook and wash clothes, what do you think? ”

After experiencing the hijacking and frightening, Gan Mei was also afraid, and told her to only go on the road, which was never daring, and when she was hesitating, Ma Han's words provoked her to go straight into the set without thinking.

What Ma Han said: "If you don't know how to cook and bleach, forget it." ”

At that time, it was said that a woman could not do laundry and cooking, just like the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations said that a woman could not be a woman, it was simply a thick contempt! Gan Mei didn't know what to do, Ya didn't want this young and handsome lieutenant to look down on him, so he didn't think about it, and immediately agreed.

As soon as the words fell, Gan Mei regretted it, she was a girl in the boudoir, followed a group of soldiers to the north by boat, and lived together day and night, what is going on? Although she was born in a poor family, she is also a family of small officials, and her style is strict, if she is known by her family...... It's terrifying to think about. But the words have been spoken, and it is difficult to collect the water. Gan Mei bit her lip for a while before she reluctantly asked: "Then can you send someone to send a letter to the people's daughter, with the heart of the people?" ”

"This is easy to do, I will hire a small boat and send a servant woman back to Guangling with your letter in a thick currency, so that your family will not worry." Ma Han's gaze penetrated deep into her clear eyes, "I can guarantee that you will never regret following me through this experience." ”

Gan Mei's heart was pounding when she heard this, and in the spirit of gratitude, she knelt down and thanked her. When she bent down her willow-like delicate body, her collar stood high, revealing the back of her long snow-white neck, and her fine virgin hairs shimmered golden in the candlelight......

From this moment on, there will be no more Liu Chan in history...... (To be continued......)
