In fact, an important reason why Huang Jie and others did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money was because the siege of Jiangxia City had been lifted, and they wished that Wang Baoyu and others would leave quickly.

Someone sent a letter to Wang Baoyu, which was written by Suning, and the letter was full of gratitude to Wang Baoyu, and at the same time, Suning said in the letter that the Jiangdong withdrawal was due to Gan Ning's work.

Gan Ning and You Heng both belong to the group of bohemian people, the two have always been kind to each other, and Gan Ning also believes in You Heng's ability, not to mention Zuo Ci's prophecy?

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, Gan Ning and Su Fei got together for a long time, and finally came up with a foolproof plan.

That is, two letters were forged, saying that they were intercepted from Tanma, one was written by Liu Biao and the other was written by Cao Cao, all of which were written to Huang Jie in Jiangxia City, and the letter told Huang Jie to fight hard to drag down the Jiangdong army no matter what, and they would take the opportunity to attack Jiangdong.

Coincidentally, there were indeed traces of abnormal movements in the Cao soldiers in the north, and Gan Ning secretly sent these two letters to the commander across the river, that is, Zhou Yu, the governor of the front department.

The current Jiangxia City is useless and not a problem, so Zhou Yu decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army besieging Jiangxia.

Guan Ting had already arranged for the soldiers to report the battle situation to Liu Bei on horseback, and after staying in the city for two more days, Wang Baoyu and his party finally left Jiangxia and returned to the Fancheng base camp under the humility of the Huang family.

The ships had been destroyed, and Wang Baoyu and others had to return by land, and the horses and vehicles loaded with grain and grass formed a long convoy, which was very eye-catching.

There are also checkpoints set up in Jingzhou on the road, reporting Liu Bei's name, plus Liu Cong's token in Wang Baoyu's hand, naturally the road is unimpeded.

After four days of sleeping in the open air, Wang Baoyu and his entourage finally came to the other side of Fancheng, in terms of distance, if the soldiers of Xiangyang went to relieve the siege of Jiangxia, it was not a difficult thing, but Liu Biao did not move at all, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, which shows how old and mediocre he has reached.

As soon as they stopped on the shore, on the north bank of the Fancheng River, five big boats sailed over to this side, hehe, the greeting team came.

At the bow of a big ship in front of him, there stood a man with a majestic figure and five long hairs, with a majestic and lofty spirit, who stood out from the crowd, it was Guan Yu Guan Yunchang.

"Baoyu, my brother has come to pick us up in person." Guan Ting said excitedly.

"Bring you back safely, I can finally make a smooth deal, and I won't be in vain to tell the second brother." Wang Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, I will eventually become a family, and I still remember my brother's hatred!" Guan Ting grinned.

Wang Baoyu snorted disdainfully, didn't speak again, and was forced to come, and almost lost his life, no one would be too happy in his heart.

As soon as Guan Yu got off the boat, Guan Ting ran over and called out to her brother sweetly, while Guan Yu patted Guan Ting's shoulder with love and pity, and said, "Sister Ting, it's good that you can return safely, my brother is worried, and the bedroom is uneasy." ”

"Let my brother worry, but my little sister is not." Guan Ting gave a salute obediently.

"Haha, it's good to come back safely!"

"I was able to get out this time thanks to Baoyu's work." Guan Ting saw that Guan Yu was in a good mood, so she pointed at Wang Baoyu at the right time, with an unconcealable tenderness in her eyes, she was showing Guan Yu that the husband she chose was by no means an idle person.

"My sister has a vision." Guan Yu laughed.

After that, Guan Yu stepped forward a few steps, hugged Wang Baoyu's shoulder, who was twisting his face, and praised: "Baoyu, you really live up to my trust." ”

"Second brother, this time you are satisfied!" Wang Baoyu forced out a smile, half joking and half complaining.

"Baoyu is really good, he does what he says, he is not shocked by the chaos, but he is up to the task, I will salute you three cups when I go back!" Guan Yu smiled, took off his battle robe, and put it on Wang Baoyu to show respect and friendship.

Wang Baoyu is not a stingy person, seeing that the dignified Guan Er Ye can bow his head like this, he also laughed happily, and walked a few steps in his robe coaxingly, and returned it to Guan Yu with a bitter face, he was too short, and the robe was mopping the floor, like a contemporary bride's tail wedding dress, which looked a little funny.

Grain, grass, baggage and other things were carried onto the ship by the soldiers, Guan Yu came to Fan Jinqiang again, praised his bravery and fearlessness, and swore to kill the enemy, it turned out that Guan Ting also said a lot of good things about Fan Jinqiang in the letter.

Fan Jinqiang scratched his head excitedly for a while, grinning and smirking, Guan Yu is the hero idol in his heart, and now the idol is praising face-to-face, and he doesn't know how to answer correctly.

However, when Guan Yu said that he would promote him to be a general and lead a team, the dead-eyed Fan Jinqiang immediately refused, saying that he was only willing to follow Wang Baoyu alone.

Guan Yu's face stiffened, a little unbearable, there are still people who don't know how to lift, presumably the brothers brought out by Wang Baoyu are all this dead virtue.

However, because he was in a good mood, Guan Yu was not angry, and only said that the matter would be discussed later, and then the group got on the boat and headed towards the north shore.

Liu Bei looked happy, greeted Guan Ting and Wang Baoyu, and did not forget to say a few words of encouragement to Fan Jinqiang, showing the approachability of the leader and sympathizing with his subordinates, and although Zhuge Liang was quiet, he was obviously not very interested.

Subsequently, a group of people lined up into the city, and even the people welcomed them, Wang Baoyu rode on a horse and waved to the people, feeling good.

A banquet had already been set up in the Fancheng Mansion to solemnly welcome the triumphant return of Guan Ting and Wang Baoyu.

Everyone is beaming, but Wang Baoyu is like a mirror in his heart, in this battle of Jiangxia, Huang Zu was killed, the ship was captured, the city was trapped, Guan Ting lost most of the troops, if it wasn't for the Jiangdong army to take the initiative to retreat, it would be the greatest luck for these people to retreat, so it was not a victory at all.

And the main reason why Liu Bei is happy is very simple to think about, or because Wang Baoyu and others brought back things and made a war fortune. With money, you can recruit troops and buy horses, and connect people's hearts, especially a careerist like Liu Bei, the rise of prestige is indispensable accompanied by the accumulation of wealth.

"Baoyu, you went to Jiangxia on this trip, and there was no news for a few days, which made Mrs. so worried." Finding an opportunity, Zhuge Liang whispered to Wang Baoyu.

"I can't help it, I can't go and I can't go, but fortunately I'm finally back. Are my sister and Guo'er okay? ”

"All right."

"Then I'll be relieved."

"It's just a pretense to help each other, why are you trapped in Jiangxia City?" Zhuge Liang asked puzzled.
