Chapter 858 Fierce Killing
Of course you have to go, what if you don't go?
Pang Degong is not the kind of pedantic and confused old pedant, if it was just Cao Cao who entered Jingzhou, he was not very worried, his reputation was here, Cao Cao really dared to risk the world's disapproval, and threaten Shi Yuan with himself as a hostage?
If he really did that, he might be able to threaten Shi Yuan, but the image he had created before of focusing on talents had also collapsed, and it would have provoked the disciples of Lumen Mountain to fight against him, and even the entire Jingxiang scholars would rise up against him, which really outweighed the losses.
But Cao Cao is obviously not stupid, he knows the result of his shot, so he takes a detour and does it through Cai and Kuai. The latter was originally the Jingxiang Hao clan, even if there was no Cao Cao, after the collapse of the situation in Jiangxia, they would also attack the Huang family. Although the Cai and Huang families are still related, in the family's principle of doing things, kinship has always been put behind interests.
The Pang family's industry is not small, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan are close, and they swallow it easily, anyway, the goal of the Cai family is to be a local tyrant, not to become a prince, reputation or something, originally not particularly important.
Cao Cao acted like this, he could only hide it from ordinary people, but he couldn't hide it from people with real vision. However, as long as he has an excuse to make things round, no one will be too serious, people who really have insight are people who are discerning in the world, knowing that the Cai family is willing to make knives, who would dare to take the lead easily?
Without further ado, Pang Degong also took on the responsibility of on-site command.
The luggage is packed a long time ago, and you can pick it up and go. However, at this critical juncture, hundreds of old and weak women and children are huddled together, and the slightest miscommand can easily cause a catastrophe. That is, Pang Degong's prestige is high enough, and the command is also effective, and the old and weak come out one after another, boarding the boat one after another, and the scene is in good order.
If it were in normal times, Huang Chengyan would definitely have to praise a few words, but now is the moment of the last moment, how can he still be in this mood? Thousands of calculations, but he didn't calculate that the general trend of the world changed so quickly, and he was originally only married to Yingyuan in the month as an idler. Who would have thought that now the backbone of the Huang family in Jingzhou collapsed. The idle man became the last reliance. It really makes people feel a strong sense of unreality.
When passing by Pang Degong, who was in command, Huang Chengyan just nodded and went out. Only then did he suddenly turn around, look at a middle-aged scribe with a dignified appearance, and asked, "Yinyi, are you really not leaving?" ”
"It doesn't matter." This person is Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan, he was not affected by the apocalyptic atmosphere around him at all, Yun smiled lightly and said: "Qingzhou is powerful, but there is a worry about Mu Xiu in the forest, and now it has been tabooed by the world, I'm afraid it will ......"
His answer was a little unreasonable, but Huang Chengyan was so intelligent. Listening to the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, of course I understand that this is a multi-faceted bet of the Zhuge family. Although he was a little curious, how Zhuge Xuan wanted to put aside his relationship with Zhuge Liang in the drastic changes in Jingzhou, and at the same time lose his sincerity to Cao Cao, Huang Chengyan had no time to think about it, nodded, said 'take care', and staggered aboard.
During the entire evacuation and boarding process, Gan Ning had always been like no one else, just standing by the wall, neither participating in the command nor arranging the guard, until everyone boarded the boat, then raised his eyes to look around, and asked as if nothing happened: "Is it okay?" ”
"There will be strong men along the way." The Pound Gongcheng Mansion is very deep, and although his confidence in Gan Ning is getting less and less, he still fights his spirit and gives his hands as a courtesy.
"Well said, well said." Gan Ning waved his hand and turned his head to shout loudly to the fleet: "Sons, sail, go to Qingzhou!" ”
"Oh!" Similar things gather, the sailors on the ship were all lazy just now, but they all became excited when they heard Gan Ning roar like this, and the response was extremely enthusiastic, and even the soldiers and horses on the upstream and downstream were alarmed!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of orders sounded one after another in the upstream, and a large area of fire suddenly lit up, converging into a river, surging downstream like a tide, and the momentum was amazing!
"The people on the other side listened, Liu Yuanjun just wanted to invite everyone to Xiangyang City to live temporarily, and there was no intention of harm, so there was no need to panic. If you force yourself to leave, it won't be beautiful if you tear your face! You must know that the soldiers are surrounded, and you are already unable to fly, so you should be obedient to the general, haha! ”
The downstream was quieter, but judging from the changing trajectory of the fire, it was likely that the intercepting ships had blocked the entire river, and the statement of the person in charge of the pursuers was indeed not an exaggeration, and everyone had no way out.
There were people crying in the cabin, others complaining.
The earliest invitation in Qingzhou was when Huang Yueying and others first arrived in Qingzhou, and then almost every month or two, the old things would be brought up again, especially in recent months, the invitation has become an urging, but here it is a delay in forming a unified opinion, so that it has been delayed until now. If you had left earlier, why would you be so embarrassed today?
The previous dissenting views naturally refuted loudly, and among the reasons for the rebuttal, Gan Ning's name was also repeatedly mentioned.
As soon as Ye Zhiqiu, Qingzhou sent such an unreliable responder, and he had been implementing a thorough policy of suppressing the strong and powerful, which shows that Wang Yu does not attach much importance to this side, he only wants the direct blood relatives of Pang Tong and Huang Yueying, not all the two families.
Fortunately, it is a waterway, otherwise there is no need for the chasing soldiers to rush in front of them, and these rabble will collapse, if things come to that point, not to mention that there is only one Gan Ning escorted, even if Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are sent over, I am afraid they can only cry out in vain.
Pang Degong was the most calm, and he explained to Gan Ning in a low voice: "The leader of the team is Zhang Yun, this person is a cousin with Cai Mao, and he commands some of the most elite private soldiers of the Cai family, which should not be underestimated!" ”
"If you have a certain province, my husband can rest assured that he will board the boat." Gan Ning is a person with clear grievances, he can feel the emotions of other people very keenly, and will respond differently according to the attitude of the other party. He will treat those who are respectful to him, and he will only be tougher than the other party to those who are not polite to him.
Although Pang Degong had little confidence in him, he had always ensured the minimum politeness, and Gan Ning's response was naturally much more polite than that of Huang Jie and others.
Seeing that everyone was on the boat, Chun Yuqiong came up a little sneakily, laughed with him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xingba, what about me, I'm not good at water warfare, instead of being a burden on the road, it's better to be a bait or something now, which can also distract the attention of some pursuers, how much does it work...... I don't know what the virtuous brother thinks? ”
"Bait?" Gan Ning was slightly stunned, and looked at Chun Yuqiong with a smile: "So, Brother Zhong Jian, you can't believe so?" ”
"How can it!" Chun Yuqiong was shocked, shaking her hands desperately, trying to justify, but under the pressure of Gan Ning's sharp eyes, those words of defense were always difficult to speak: "I am ...... It's ......"
"It doesn't matter." Peeked into Chun Yuqiong's intentions, but Gan Ning had no intention of pursuing it, waved his hand as if nothing happened, and said: "Brother Zhong Jian just goes, if you arrive in Qingzhou earlier than me, please talk to the lord, just say that the king treats me as a countryman, and I Gan Xingba will not let him down!" That's it, let's meet again in Ilseok! ”
After speaking, he leaped forward, jumped directly from the shore to the bow of the boat, his body was as steady as a mountain, and he didn't even shake it, and the next moment, he raised his fists high, and in a jingling, pleasant bell, he shouted: "Raise the flag, raise the sail!" Let the boat go south, and those who stand in my way will die! ”
"Death to those who stand in my way!" With such a leader present, the sailors, completely unaware of fear, raised their sails and lowered their boats down the river with a shout. The sails were also distinctive, so colorful that even the hazy night could not hide their brilliance, shining in a field of torches.
After watching the shore for a while, Chun Yuqiong shivered violently, and was blown into her collar by the river breeze. He shrunk his neck and burrowed into the dark corner with his fat body, muttering as he ran.
"This madman, if you still stand in my way, die...... Just a few hundred of him? Not to mention the thousands of pursuers, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pass the few checkpoints blocked downstream...... Obviously, he had already told him that in order to prevent the Jiangdong Army from breaking through, the Jingzhou Army had arranged thirteen lines of defense in the lower reaches of the river! Will he be able to rush all the way through? This madman, madman! ”
seems to be looking for reasons for his timidity, when Chun Yuqiong said the word 'crazy', he almost gritted his teeth and shouted. He was indeed very depressed, Wang Yu's order was not a death order, but after explaining the situation, let Gan Ning judge for himself.
According to Chun Yuqiong's thoughts, this kind of mortal task must not be accepted, but Gan Ning took it without hesitation, so this person is a madman! Chun Yuqiong still wants to live a few more years, even if he can't enjoy the wealth in Qingzhou, he has to save his life, so he would rather offend Gan Ning, he also chose to flee on his own.
The pursuers' attention was on the fleet, and even if they were to hunt down the remnants afterwards, it would be a while later, and with this buffer, he should be able to escape far away.
Not only Chun Yuqiong, there are many people with similar judgments, after hearing that it was Zhang Yun who was chasing, there was an irrepressible scream of horror in the cabin, Zhang Yun is the number one thug of the Cai family, especially on the water, known as the dragon king of water!
Such a god leads the team, and there are many people, attacking from both sides of the upstream and downstream, not only is it cornered, it is completely a routine to turn into powder!
Zhang Yun himself obviously thought the same way, and when he heard the declaration of 'death to those who stand in my way' from the fugitive fleet, he sneered: "Where did a group of madmen come from? He waved his hand viciously and shouted: "Pass the order, wait until you let go and kill people, with this gang of thieves, you can report it to the water bandits to rob afterwards, and the rescue is too late, so that the whole family is killed." ”
"Whoa!" Someone immediately obeyed the order. Zhang Yunyu grinded his teeth with hatred: "Lian Fan is so colorful, do you think that the Qinglou is here to attract guests!" ”
The high-pitched drums and horns suddenly exploded, which was not only boosting the morale of the Jingzhou naval army, but also conveying orders. As Zhang Yun's latest instructions were issued to the whole army, a fierce murderous aura suddenly spread, enveloping the wide river!
The battle clouds are thick!
