Because of the need to investigate the situation, let's leave Linxiang City in Jingnan for a while.

It is also on the water's edge with Linxiang City, but unlike the adjacent choppy Xiangshui, it can only be called a stream at most, and the width of the water surface and the depth that cannot be waist-deep make this place at most a place for children to play in the countryside, and it can only cause a little trouble for marching and fighting.

But tonight, a bonfire was lit here, and more than a dozen figures flashed back and forth around the bonfire, and from time to time you could hear the laughter of the men and the quaint folk songs from Badi, perhaps in terms of intonation, but you could still hear the enthusiasm and heroism of these sturdy men from the singing and laughter.

The majestic and quaint folk songs continue to float along the river into the distance, and they also take away the deep longing of the heroes for their hometown.

"Boss, everything is baked, come and try the brothers' craft. I've just learned a few tricks from a chef from the North recently, and this time the taste won't disappoint you, Boss. ”

"Hmph~! As long as it's not baked, I'm already thankful, the things you guys make are slightly better than the poison used by the people, and the last time I originally planned to use your things to entertain those Jingzhou people, but the result! ”

"Hahahaha, boss, you obviously know our level, and you still ordered us to make things to entertain others, which is really bad enough."

"What do you stinky boys know, it's called 'hospitality'. Do you understand! What a bunch of uneducated guys. ”

"Don't laugh at us, Boss, you haven't seen yourself read for a few days."

"Just more than you bastards!"

"Hehe, if it weren't for the boss being the one who could fight the most among us, how could he convince the brothers."

"Who made you all like a stubborn donkey, you have to fight hard to be obedient."

"Hahahaha......"

The atmosphere around the campfire immediately became lively. From time to time, you can see two shirtless men scuffling ♂ together, the smooth and shiny body looks particularly stylish against the firelight, and the muscles in all parts of the body are even more drooling.

At least it should be no problem for Li Shushi to feel inferior.

Everyone at the campfire held up a large bowl as thick as a human head, which contained a rich aroma of liquor, and the bold men kept raising their noble heads and pouring the liquor from the bowl into their mouths, even if the slightly cloudy liquid continued to flow down the corners of their mouths over their necks and bodies. No, or rather, that's the most enjoyable feeling.

"Haha. It's hard to get such a good wine, so be sure to have a good drink! ”

"That's right, that's right, since those old men who are above the top don't look down on us, let's have fun by ourselves!"

I don't know if it was to vent the boredom in my heart, or to seek the stimulation from the nerve endings, the wine was poured into my mouth bowl after bowl, even if my throat gradually became numb. The body gradually became uncontrollable, and there was no intention of stopping.

Tonight was clearly a good night.

Although this cheerful background is actually more of a kind of boredom and violence.

It's really hard for them to really get better.

They are not from Jingzhou.

Although for some of these people, the ancestors may also be from Jingzhou, and even a few are from this Nanyang County. But for them, it was just a vague memory of their ancestors who were extremely old. In fact, for them, Jingzhou was once a distant and mysterious place, a place they once thought they would never be able to reach in their lifetime.

What's more, for most people, they are sons who have lived in the western part of Bashan for generations. They are familiar with the mountains, rivers, grass and trees, and they are also familiar with the urban and rural areas and the people there, even if their reputation is not good in the local area, but it is also their hometown, they are familiar with it. A hometown where you can find your way even with your eyes closed.

It is a pity that they now have to come to this distant foreign land, to vent their resentment by this small and strange stream, but still to force their faces to laugh, and then gradually sink into a life of hopelessness day after day.

Maybe all the time to death.

In fact, if you ask them if they regret coming to Jingzhou, they will tell you in unison, they will not regret this matter at all - that is their own choice, and the stimulation they get in the process also makes them feel extremely happy, even if the result is somewhat frustrating, but victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the temporary retreat is also for another attack after the next preparation, not to mention that this battle also made them gain a lot.

What really made them feel depressed was what happened after they came to Jingzhou.

With the chaos in the Central Plains, there were constantly scholars in the Central Plains who chose to move to other places in order to avoid chaos, and among them, Jingzhou was the first choice of many scholars - this is not because of Liu Biao, but simply because Jingzhou is very close to the Yanyu region and Guanzhong region, the gathering place of the Han scholars, and compared with the north from time to time to face the fierce Hu army southward attack, the southern Jingbei region is not only not low in development, but also far away from the raids of various foreign races, so it can naturally gain more favor.

Therefore, with the influx of a large number of scholars, coupled with the entry of Liu Biao, a famous scholar of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou suddenly flourished in learning style and brilliant literature, as if overnight, it has changed from the original Jingchu wilderness to a new inheritance center of Central Plains culture.

Naturally, Liu Biao became the leader and leader of this new cultural center.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the Eastern Han Dynasty's inheritance from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present more or less the idea of emphasizing literature and light martial arts, although the soldiers of Jingzhou cannot be said to be not good at war, but those generals who lead the soldiers have pursued dance and writing, and vassal elegance.

Well, for a child of a family like Cai Mao, whose ancestors have also produced many high-ranking officials of 2,000 stones, it is not a vassal elegance. Or if it weren't for the rise of troubled times, it would obviously be difficult for the commander of the Jingzhou Navy and a considerable part of the infantry army to choose to join the army.

is the so-called "if there is something good at the top, it will be effective at the bottom", or "the king of Chu has a thin waist, and the palace maids are starving to death".

In such an atmosphere, they are a group of rebellious sons and daughters from the dangerous mountains and bad waters of Daba Mountain. What kind of discriminatory treatment will be encountered by the "reckless man" (Jingzhou language) who only likes the pleasure of the ranger and does not like to study.

There may not be many cold words, after all, their combat effectiveness is not an opponent even if they are the more warlike Jingzhou Army Cultural Recruitment Department, and even the low-level generals who dare to say this directly to them have been beaten into pigs' heads. Over time, for the sake of life safety and prestige in front of his subordinates, naturally no one will say something unpleasant in front of them without opening their eyes, or in many cases, they will choose to take a detour when they see their appearance from afar.

Well, what was originally a face-to-face ridicule turned into a discussion behind the scenes, but it's a pity that these people don't know a certain future and don't know if there is a possibility of being born. Otherwise, these two groups of people would probably have a lot of common language in this regard.

Although the blatant ill remarks were stopped, these people increasingly felt the rejection and exclusion of them from all sides.

Even as their leader, Gan Ning is actually counted as a powerful family in Ba County, and he can't change this situation.

Perhaps the strongest in the army have a foothold, and their power makes it impossible for anyone to ignore their existence, but even the army is relatively simple compared to officialdom, and of course there is only a little place, and the role that force can play is really limited - as outsiders without roots, they really feel the malice from the whole world.

It's like this battle.

To put it nicely, they are the vanguard of Zhang Ji, the commander of the Nanyang side of the state army, who was entrusted with the important task of sniping, and to put it mildly, they are regarded as cannon fodder with a little value. Success is a surprise, and defeat is a pure interior.

Although he did not shout "Change me for a blue and clean Jingzhou", and then killed a qiē local person related to non-Jingzhou people. But it was such an important combat mission, but the support given to them was so little - it was completely allowed to let their 800 Badi men and some Jingzhou soldiers who were friendly with them fall into the ground formation, and the rest of the troops were just firing arrows on the periphery, at most they were fighting bravely to share some pressure for them...... Don't laugh, the Jingzhou army wrote a lot about this behavior after the war, and even thought that this was the most important reason why they were able to concentrate on killing Zhang Ji, the commander of the Nanyang side of the state army.

As for the Badi men who were trapped in the middle of the state army and almost all of them were killed. It seems to have been forgotten by everyone.

Once these hot-blooded men thought that they could change their situation with their military exploits, and thought that it was like in Yizhou, even if there were many people who criticized them, as long as they fought on the battlefield and won the victory for their comrades on the battlefield. Then whether it is an ordinary soldier or a high-ranking general, they will add their blue eyes to each other, and look at each other with each other.

It's a pity that Jingzhou is not Yizhou.

It's a pity that these outsiders are not those who are personable and elegant, even if their personalities and behaviors are strange, but they do not damage their knowledge, so their mavericks or righteousness have become the same label as bandits, and together with their past, under the spread of well-intentioned people, they continue to circulate throughout Jingbei.

Up to now, the young people who have retreated from Yizhou to Jingzhou and are still full of fighting spirit have become the few people left who can only hold the wine pot by the stream and pretend to be frivolous and joyful, and return to their hometown under the anesthesia of alcohol.

"Boss, do we really want to stay in this aggrieved place? Originally, looking at the faces of those guys was annoying enough, but now the boss, you have rectified that group of people again, I'm afraid that those people have hated us to death. This time there is not much left for the brothers, and if we do it again, I am afraid that we will not be as lucky as we are today. ”

"Yes, Boss, I've heard that the North has made us a target to kill. Now those Jingzhou people wish that we would fight with the people of Bingzhou to defeat each other, and maybe they will ask us to die, even if we are not killed on the battlefield but are caught by the people of Bingzhou, we will definitely be set on the pillar and burned to death. Or as rumored to be, the head was made into something called 'Kyokan' by the people of Namashu. Tsk, those people are more savage than the most savage guys I've ever seen! ”

"Maybe it's time to go, but have you ever thought about where we can go?"

"This ......"

"We can't go back to Yizhou. The faces of those Dongzhou soldiers must be known to everyone, and after we colluded with the reactionary rebellion of the Jingzhou people, it was equivalent to cutting ourselves off from the Yizhou local faction. The northern states have a grudge against us, and Cao Cao is said to have a very good relationship with the states. It is impossible to fight with the state for our sake. The only thing left may be the Sun Bofu in the east. ”

"Huh? Why didn't the boss talk about that Jiangxia Huang Zu? I heard that although he has a good background, he doesn't like to read much like the boss, and he is a vulgar martial artist with no skills. ”

"Huang Zu? Even if it's really as you said, it's a person who comes out of a high school, even if he doesn't have any skills, he must look at others above the top. Besides, everyone in Jingbei is proud of imitating Liu Biao, who is actually a thief, and the exclusion we received from Huang Zu may not be so powerful, but it is definitely unlikely that there will be much development. ”

"But that Sun Bofu is so far away from us. Boss, do you really think we can get enough attention from him? ”

"Hmph, so don't look at your boss, I don't read much, but what I have read is still very useful. What kind of person is that Sun Ce, although his father Sun Wentai is also a high-ranking official of two thousand stones, and he also has a very high status title like Marquis Wucheng, it looks very powerful, but because of his bad background, he is also in Jingzhou. Always excluded and suppressed by others. ”

"Sounds a lot like us."

"That's right, just like us."

"Oh oh oh ~~~! In this way, there must be a lot of common language between us and that Sun Bofu. ”

"yes, yes. I heard that Sun Bofu is even more fierce than his father, and it is estimated that even the boss is not an opponent of others. ”

"That is, if you follow such a person, you will definitely have a future than the boss. And I heard that he is beautiful and very popular with girls, much better than our boss, who always stares at the boy ♂ with green eyes behind the paper. ”

"Yes, that's right. I really hope that one day there will be a beautiful boy ♂ paper that can become a sister ♂ paper and accept the demon of the boss, and at that time our brothers will be completely liberated, and we no longer have to worry about something being completely destroyed. ”

"You~you~these~some~bastards~ass~! True. While. I. Miscellaneous. Moh. All. Listen. No. Arrive. Why!! ”

"Ahhh!!!hh The boss is so scary! Ahh!!!hh The boss is going to kill someone!! ”

Probably because I heard that there is a person in this world who is very similar to myself, the original irritable and violent atmosphere has dissipated a lot, and these Badi men who are destined to be only passers-by in Jingzhou. Even if they encountered such tribulations, they still did not reduce their expectations for the future and the pride in their hearts.

It's just that when these people were half drunk and had already scuffled ♂ together again, sitting by the fire while drinking spirits, while instructing his subordinates in martial arts, Gan Ning, as before, suddenly frowned.

With just one look, the originally noisy stream became silent in an instant, except for the occasional crackling of the bonfire that was still burning. And those men who were already half-drunk consciously lined up the corresponding formation, everyone's hands had been pressed on their usual weapons, and their originally cloudy eyes had been replaced by solemnity and murderous intent.

"It's only one ride, the branches and leaves are a little thick, and the voice is not very clear, but Satoshi judged that it shouldn't be an enemy."

Soon, his subordinates, who were accustomed to listening, informed Gan Ning of the results of the investigation.

Although Gan Ning did not give the order to cancel the vigilance, everyone's expressions were relaxed.

Perhaps they were a little less cautious in doing so, but in their opinion, in this realm today, there is only a large army that can pose a threat to them. If the number of people who came was only one horse, even if it was an enemy, they would not take it in their eyes - the generals of the Jingzhou army were not less packed up by them, as for the Bingzhou army, except that Hu Che'er's strength was a trouble for Gan Ning, Ma Teng's spear skills were also chilling, but if there was only one person, he could only return in front of them.

Even if they're half-drunk. But there are few people in the south who can be defeated, and the most important thing is that when the number is equal, there is never a defeat, let alone a Jinfan thief who is twice the number of the opponent!

"What, it turned out to be Deng boy, could it be that you heard that we were drinking here, so you were greedy?"

Although Gan Ning and his "Jinfan thieves" are a group of out-and-out grass robbers in the eyes of those high-ranking officers of the Jingzhou Army, they are unruly and untamable, not to mention a group of vicious wolves that cannot be raised. Instead of expecting this group of people to make contributions to the Jingzhou army one day, it is better to worry more about whether they will tear down the walls of Xiangyang City if they are in a bad mood.

Well, even if they made a lot of contributions to the Jingzhou army before the rebellion, but in the eyes of some people, it was just a pie in the sky, and what really allowed them to establish such feats was entirely because the commander in the rear commanded Ruoding, the officers and soldiers of the front fought bravely, and the strategists strategized. And then add that these people are a little lucky, and they occupy a good position.

Well, that's all.

However, for those lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers, perhaps some people looked down on these outsiders from Yizhou because of their own identities, and they were also "losers" who lost badly and had to run to Jingzhou for refuge. But when they fought with Gan Ning and his men, and even witnessed them fighting continuously at the core of the Nanyang Corps of the Bingzhou Army, and finally beheaded Zhang Ji and returned, although they could not be said to be immediately shocked by the heavens, but they also changed from the original disdain to admiration.

In addition, the suppression of outsiders such as Gan Ning by the upper echelons of the Jingzhou Army made those soldiers sympathetic and sad. So instead, he became enthusiastic, as if his body and mind had been conquered by Gan Ning's group of Jinfan thieves.

This one is called "Deng Boy". It is said that the ancestor is the young man of the famous Nanyang Deng Yu, and he is one of them.

"You guys are still in the mood to drink here, don't you know that disaster is coming!"

It's a pity that the young man called "Deng Xiaozi" didn't care about his friend's ridicule at all, but had a little more anxiety on his face—and it was only at this time, with the help of the bright and dark light of the bonfire, that everyone noticed the expression on his face.

"What's going on!"

At this time, it is really only up to Gan Ning to go out in person.

"I've heard it from someone else. I don't want this to happen, but I do hope that you can prepare early, so that if something does happen, you won't be hurt again because you can't find a good way to do it in a hurry. ”

"Humph! Something that can make your kid so anxious...... Could it be that Cai Mao, those guys are really planning to do something to us? ”

"Brother Xingba guessed well, that's exactly what happened. The younger brother heard that the damn Cai brothers were full of jealousy and hatred for the eldest brother. But I am worried that I am not an opponent, so I plan to let the eldest brother you go to a small county west of Nanyang to serve, where the people are fierce and alien are rampant, especially the water barbarians, each of the subordinates of the king of Yi is less than thousands, more than tens of thousands, gathering in the mountains and forests, the temperament is capricious, and the officials who arrive often die unexpectedly, so you can imagine how sinister the Cai brothers' intentions are! ”

"It really is."

It's a pity that the person who came to ventilate the news didn't see even a little sad expression on Gan Ning's face, but with the explanation of "Deng Xiaozi", the bright color in his eyes became more and more intense, as if he had encountered a new toy of interest.

"This ...... This may not be true, but it is certainly the case in the area of the Shui Shui Valley. It's like the people in Ba County and the White Tiger Yi, the eldest brother should have dealt with them. ”

"Hahahaha!! It turned out to be that kind of goods~! Not to mention the dealings, the banyu of the people is still a little interesting, as for those white tigers, hmph, if it is not for the bribery of Shangguan, how can they have the ability to gradually suppress the people who have a feud. In fact, it is not vulnerable at all, and the so-called warriors in the clan are not as good as many warriors under my Jinfan! ”

"Then big brother, you are not afraid of the conspiracy of the Cai brothers!"

This is indeed a bit of overjoyed news, although the person who came to report the news naturally did not want the man he admired to be poisoned because of Xiaoxiao's frame-up in his heart, but sure enough, this reaction is more in line with the reaction of the tall image man in his mind!

"If they fall quietly, it's okay, but if they really plan to plot against me like this, don't blame Gan for not remembering the incense of the past!"

At this moment, Gan Ning, the momentum exuded from the top and bottom of his body, is the leader of the Jinfan thieves who crisscross the Yangtze River and make the merchants and water thieves change color when they hear it, and can only avoid its edge - fierce but shrewd, violent but not losing advance and retreat, the river can be unstoppable, and everyone can stop across the river with iron cables!
