In this day and age, cloth is a very important and valuable commodity.

In addition to making clothes and bedding on weekdays, it can also be used directly as money to buy the things you need.

Even when the quality of the new money minted and issued by the government declined severely, people were more enthusiastic about trading with cloth when trading on weekdays.

Ordinary linen cloth is so extraordinary, so the brocade produced in Xichuan is even more valuable.

Ordinary people, if anyone can take out a Xichuan brocade as a dowry when their daughter gets married, no, even if it is only half a horse, they can straighten their waists and straighten their chests.

In the future, when the new daughter-in-law arrives at her in-law's house, she will be more imposing when she speaks and does things.

Of course, the good tradition of dowry began to fade in many places in later generations, and even almost disappeared.

All that remains is the death of the bride price.

If a person in this era marries a daughter, and the daughter's dowry is too poorly prepared, not only will the daughter be unable to raise her head in her in-law's house after passing the door, but the parents will also feel disgraced.

The dowry is generally equivalent to the bride price, which is called a match.

But in the Hereafter, it will not be.

People in many places are no longer ashamed of not being able to marry their daughters.

The notion that the dowry was as valuable as the bride price was also largely gone.

There are even some families, after asking for a high-priced bride price, they hold all of them in their hands, and when their daughters get married, they basically don't give anything to accompany them.

Completely ignore the quality of life of her daughter after marriage in the future.

After letting his daughter get married, he began to pay off his debts with his in-laws......

The value of the Nishikawa brocade is so high today, but now it is used by the man with a copper bell around his waist to make a cable for the ship, and its luxury is also slightly seen.

If he just used it as a cable, it would have been reused many times in the future.

Except for the first time, when the cost is higher, and then it's fine.

But this man has the trick of pretending.

And when they came to the ship, they did not untie their cables.

Just swing the knife and cut it off.

The propeller on the boat pushed the penny a little harder to the shore, and the boat, which was free from the bondage of the cable, immediately left the shore and headed for the deep water.

Only the rope made of brocade remained, which seemed lonely on the shore.

When I say lonely, I don't mean it's too lonely.

So in addition to it, there are four other cables made of brocade that were left on the shore.

It was four other ships of the same size, and they set off.

Five ships set off one after another.

The ship was gone, and the water was filled with the sound of tinkling brass bells.

Almost a mile from the shore, there are many ordinary local people guarding there, probing their brains and watching the situation here.

After seeing the group go away, and cut the rope made of brocade as before, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Those who were brave began to run towards the shore with their legs, aiming at the cables.

There were many people who originally thought of waiting and going over to fight.

But after seeing someone scattering their legs to that side, they couldn't bear it anymore.

They all ran wildly.

is obviously just a group of ordinary people, but when they ran at this time, they ran out of the momentum of the 100-meter final of later athletes.

Even in the 100-meter final, there is momentum.

After all, the one that was left in place by the brocade thief was a rope made of brocade!

Although it is made into a cable, it does not change the essence of the brocade.

After grabbing it, take it back and disassemble it, re-flatten it, and then stitch it up, which is more expensive than ordinary intact linen gold.

Even if some are too fine to be sewn, it is very good to use it to tie the hair of the mother-in-law and daughter at home.

Even if you just tie your hair with a small bit of brocade, you can immediately make your mother-in-law and daughter shine and become the most dazzling person among the villagers.

The first person to run here, not caring about being out of breath, quickly untied a cable tied to a tree and held it in his hand.

Then I went to solve the second root.

was kicked in the ass by the rest of the people who ran from behind.

He ran forward uncontrollably two steps under his feet, and with a bang, he plunged into the river.

My nose was choking.

But even so, the man did not throw away the cable he was holding.

Instead, he wrapped it around his body and tied it firmly.

Pointing at the person who kicked him on the shore and cursing a few words, he turned around and came to the deep water in the middle of the river.

I swam a little downstream, got ashore from there, and ran away in a puff of smoke.

The rest of the people on the shore, at this time there were scrambling for the remaining four cables.

Some people, there was a tearing.

Some of them even hung up their lotteries......

On the five departing boats, someone pulled a rope and pulled the sails up.

Suddenly a piece of brilliance rose.

Because the sail that was pulled up was not the usual white sail, but was also made of brocade!

This is also the main reason why these people are called Jinfan thieves.

"Hahaha...... Look at these people, how funny.

It's just some discarded things that we casually dropped, and they just fought for it.

It's like a fly sees blood, and a hungry dog sees. ”

There was a man on the boat, with large eyes that protruded outward.

The face appears emaciated.

He looked at the chaotic scene on the shore and said it in a loud voice, with arrogance and mockery.

"Yes, so you still have to work hard to climb up and be a good man.

Otherwise, this life is too pitiful, like an ant, and there is nothing to want.

Isn't it too pitiful and pathetic to be born for a lifetime, but to live like an ant for a lifetime, suffocating and aggrieved?

If that's the case, I really can't close my eyes when I die. ”

On the leading ship, another person spoke out and said.

He wore a brass bell around his waist, a brocade robe, and a knife hanging from his waist.

Carrying a crossbow on his back.

This is the same person who wielded a knife to cut the rope made of brocade on the head of the ship.

The same is the leader of these people.

The surname is Gan, the name is Ning, the word Xingba, and he is a native of Linjiang, Ba County, Yizhou.

"The Commander is right!

The eldest husband was born in the world, how can he always be under the world?

If you really live a life like this, it is really unpleasant. ”

The other answered.

The man had a dark complexion, his chest bare, and there was a gallbladder guard hair on his chest, and there was a scar on his face, and the whole thing looked fierce.

"So, this is the reason why the commander is preparing to go to Wu County to find that Zhang Zhang Wenyuan?"

Another person asked.

This man has long hands and legs, is good at swimming, and is called a water monkey.

"That Zhang Wenyuan is not easy to deal with, he is not an ordinary person.

It was the first-class general under Uncle Liu Huang, who waved his troops east from Mianzhu and was invincible. ”

The person with prominent eyeballs, after mentioning Zhang Liao's name, was not as wanton as before.

"What kind of invincible is he?

The main thing is that the states and counties that passed through did not resist, and directly opened the city to greet them.

If all states and counties really lead troops to resist to the death, let him have an invincible look! ”

The man with the gallbladder hair on his chest said in a loud voice.

"It can't be said that this person is said to have led troops all the way into Xichuan from Yinping Road in the past.

It's hard to walk all the way.

That Uncle Liu Huang was able to easily open the Sword Gate Pass, and this person sacrificed his life to take the Yinping Road and came to Xichuan, which is inseparable.

This alone is enough to see its bravery. ”

The big-eyed man exited again.

"So what? It can only be said that people are more courageous, and I dare to do this thing on me.

The main reason why this person was able to do this thing was that he was lucky and came by surprise.

Taking advantage of the defenselessness here, he did this.

If you are prepared, you will not succeed.

In that situation, let me lead the troops, I can do the same, maybe better than this person!

Looking at this person leading troops to fight, he has always been opportunistic, lucky, and fought a good battle, not a hard battle.

Therefore, there is no need to look too high at this Liao, so as to be frightened by it. ”

The man with black hair on his chest said.

It's full of me, and I can do it.

"That can't be taken lightly, that Zhang Liao has many regular soldiers and horses, more than 5,000.

There are only about 300 of us, and the difference in numbers is a bit big......

Moreover, now that this Yizhou is here, the east and the west have fallen into the hands of Uncle Liu Huang, we can't do things, and we will be directly retaliated against by Zhang Liao.

If things are done, it will be a bigger blow to Uncle Liu Huang......"

"Big Eyeballs, when did you become so cowardly?

Timid.

Afraid of this, afraid of that.

If you're afraid of everything, what are you doing here?

What happened to the five thousand?

One general is incompetent, tired of thousands of troops!

We are so elite, and we are led by such a person as the commander, who have you ever been afraid of?

Even if there are only 300 people, against the 5,000 people in Zhang Wenyuan, the odds of winning are also very high!

Moreover, the place where this Zhang Wenyuan is located is Wu County, and to the east is the place where Jingzhou belongs.

If we don't get things done, we just need to pull up the sails and go all the way down the river, and we will soon be able to leave Yizhou.

When the time comes, they can't catch up even if they want to.

Could it be that you can still catch up with me and come to Jingzhou?

Besides, Zhang Wenyuan is a full northland landlubber, on the water, but we are too far behind. ”

The guy with black hair on his chest said this, and his whole face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Moreover, do you think that Uncle Liu Huang can be here in Xichuan for a long time?

Don't look at him now.

In fact, secretly many people are dissatisfied with him!

This guy doesn't know what to think, and his ass is sitting off.

blindly towards those who are useless mud legs, but there are many beatings on the family.

These big families are deeply affected by it and are very dissatisfied with it.

It won't be long before he'll be unstable there.

And this person is destined to have no way to stay here in Yizhou for a long time.

Once he leaves from Yizhou, things will change a lot......

Didn't that person promise us to be the commander, and after the matter is completed, let us be the commander of Shu County?

When the time comes, let's follow the leader, all of us will be mixed with an official, and we will all become a master! ”

The man with the black hair on his chest said.

Speaking of which, there was a smile on his face, which seemed greedy and yearning.

"Even if things can't be done, with the amount of money he gave, it's enough for our brothers to spend......"

Having said that, some things are already obvious.

Liu Cheng's series of actions in Yizhou, especially Xun You, who came to Xichuan with a group of people who had been trained in Guanzhong such as Fazheng and Meng Da, and began to do some things, moved the interests of some local powerful families.

made them dissatisfied with Liu Cheng and wanted to make some moves against Liu Cheng.

So, I found Gan Ning, a Jinfan thief who was very famous in the Ba County area.

wants Gan Ning to make a move and kill Liu Cheng's prestige.

It is best to be able to kill Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the generals under Liu Cheng.

Let Liu Cheng have a good pain and a long memory.

Let him know that this is Xichuan, not Guanzhong, which was originally very dilapidated.

Here in Xichuan, these people are the fundamental.

The previous cooperation was to give you Liu Cheng's face.

Since you Liu Cheng don't know what to do, then don't blame me for being polite!

The big eyeballs were said by the guy with black hair on his chest, and his complexion changed a few times.

He didn't take this guy's job anymore, but turned his head to look at Gan Ning who was standing on the bow of the boat.

"Commander, what do you think about this?"

Gan Ning, who didn't talk much, sighed and said: "It's not easy for me to wait for such a person, and it's even more difficult to climb up."

Being able to be an official is not easy of all.

There are no scripture articles in the belly.

All he relied on was the sword in his hand, the bow and crossbow on his back, and the iron chain around his waist.

Since there is no way to go up like those rich and noble families, then we can only take some unstable roads!

The position of Shu County is not low, if you can get it, it is also a leap, you and my brother, you can be promoted......

As for the failure......

Just as the black tiger said, take a boat down the river and go to Jingzhou.

Jingzhou can't accommodate you and my brother, so let's continue to go east to Jiangdong.

I don't believe that Uncle Liu Huang's great energy can catch us from such a long distance.

You and my brother, here in Yizhou, there is not much to worry about.

In that case, why can't you give it a go? ”

The big-eyed man bowed to Gan Ning when he heard the words and said, "I listen to the commander, and I will do what the commander does."

Follow the Commander. ”

When the water monkey heard this, he said, "I am the same! ”

The black tiger with black hair on his chest smiled: "Yes! The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, so he should do whatever he wants!

Our commander has such good martial arts in his body, and he should be a high-ranking official and ride a divine horse!

Take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

Those big families, don't use it, don't use it! ”

Hearing this, Gan Ning looked at the black tiger and nodded with a smile.

When the black tiger saw his words, he was recognized by the commander Gan Ning, and the whole thing became more excited, and he spoke more energetically......

The wind blew the brocade sails, and the boat went down the river again, exceptionally smooth.

Towards Wuxian downstream, all the way.

Along the way, Gan Ning and his subordinates had bells jingling on their waists, coupled with the extremely recognizable Jinfan, it can be said that the return rate is 100%.

Successfully became the most beautiful boy on the river.

When you come and go to the ship, you hear this bell, and then you see this brocade sail, you know that it is this brocade sail thief.

They all controlled the ships to avoid it, and did not dare to collide with any ......

In this regard, many people on the ship felt very comfortable, and their backs couldn't help but stand tall, and they felt very face-saving......

Here in Wu County, Zhang Liao led a large army to garrison.

After Zhang Liao's army recovered Wuxian, he did not immediately lead the soldiers and horses to leave from Wuxian and return to Mianzhu.

He has the rest of his tasks here.

This task is to build a camp and establish a defense here in Wuxian.

Wu County went east to the boundary of Jingzhou.

The current Han is still complete, but in fact, it has been nearly divided into pieces.

Here in Yizhou, Liu Cheng worked hard to bring it down, and implemented various policies here to develop it.

After pouring his heart and soul into it, it is natural to defend well and firmly control it in his own hands.

Otherwise, I worked so hard, but when the time came, I was taken by others on a boat, all the way up the river, or by land and water, and picking peaches would really make people regret three lives.

If that happens, it's not pretty......

So, Zhang Liao came.

And build a defense here......

"There is actually a water village built here?"

Here in Wuxian County, on the river, I took a brocade sailboat all the way down to Ganning, looking at the water village that had been formed, and looked a little surprised.

He didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Liao had already built a water village here in Wuxian County.

"It's useless to build, this Liao is a standard northland landlubber, and with the water village, it is also a kind of goods, how can it be compared with us who are often above the generals!"

The black tiger, who was bare-chested, sneered and said loudly, not caring at all.

From beginning to end, Zhang Liao was never taken into account......

"Sail thief! Sail thief!

It's the Jinfan thief coming!! ”

In the water village on the edge of the river in Wuxian County, some soldiers heard the bell and saw the boat with brocade sails, so they looked panicked and couldn't help shouting.

This is a local soldier in Ba County, who knows the reputation of the Jinfan thief.

"What's wrong with the Sail Thief? Isn't it amazing?

There are only five ships in the total, and it looks like there are more than 300 people, so what is there to be afraid of? ”

This is the soldier who came with Zhang Liao all the way, and compared with these local soldiers in Ba County, it is much more indifferent.

"Jinfan thieves are different, these people crisscross the river, and they are all brave and ruthless.

Especially its leader, Gan Ning, is strong in martial arts, bold and courageous, and has the courage of ten thousand people!

Don't underestimate it! ”

"I'm waiting for so many people here, there are many soldiers and horses on display here in Wuxian, can this Gan Ning dare to come over and attack?"

"Others may not dare, but it's not surprising that Gan Ning really did such a thing.

Hurry up and report to us!

Be sure to keep an eye on it, don't take it lightly! ”

……

"Commander, these people really didn't make it, as soon as they saw us coming, they were already panicked like this.

Let's just rush over now, kill some people, and burn down this water village, so that this Zhang Liao can see the majesty of us. ”

The black tiger held the fork in his hand and said with a smile, very heroic.

When Gan Ning heard this, he shook his head and said, "Don't be like this, I'm waiting to come here today, mainly looking for that Zhang Wenyuan, not the rest of the ordinary soldiers."

At this time, what can you do if you rush to kill him, even if it burns his water village?

It's just a loss of some goods.

If Zhang Wenyuan is scared out because of this, it will really outweigh the losses. ”

He said this to his subordinates as he looked at some of the soldiers in the water village.

Those soldiers are different from ordinary soldiers.

Seeing himself and others coming, he did not panic, but quickly prepared for battle under the shouts of some generals.

Weapons are mainly shields and crossbows.

In the face of such soldiers and horses, Gan Ning did not dare to hold it up.

"Who are you waiting for?

What's the matter with coming to my Wu County?! ”

In the water village, a general stood up and shouted at Gan Ning and the others.

As soon as the black tiger heard this, some anger suddenly rose in his heart, and he opened his mouth to shout out the words 'We are the ones who have come to harvest your life'.

was preempted by Gan Ning.

"I'm a county of Linjiang, Ganning, Ganxingba! Since childhood, I like martial arts, and I think I have some skills.

I heard that Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan were generals under Uncle Liu Huang, so they came to meet him and wanted to compete with him to see if his name as a general was true.

To tell you the truth, I want to change my evil ways and go to the Lord.

But because of his bad background and bad reputation in the past, he was worried that after coming to Uncle Liu Huang, he would not be taken seriously and looked down upon.

So I wanted to come over to Zhang Wenyuan to compare.

If you can defeat Zhang Wenyuan, and then go to Uncle Huang with such a record, then the matter will be stable, and you will definitely not be underestimated! ”

The black tiger on the side couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"What do you mean, Commander?

That's not what you said before! ”

When the rest of the Jinfan thieves heard this, most of them also looked puzzled.

After all, this is completely different from what Gan Ning said to them before.

Gan Ning said in a low voice: "This is a strategy.

Zhang Liao's gang has 5,000 soldiers and horses in hand, and from what he has seen, it can be known that this gang has many elite soldiers and horses.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to lead someone to kill him directly.

It's better to use some stratagem.

I lured him into a one-on-one confrontation with me, so that I could get close to him, fight him, and then take the opportunity to kill him. ”

Hearing Gan Ning say this, everyone was stunned.

The black tiger breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then praised loudly: "The commander is really a good plan!" ”

Gan Ning smiled: "If you don't think of some ways, you can't do it, you just blindly do it, and you don't know how you died." ”

When the black tiger heard this, his heart couldn't help jumping.

Seeing Gan Ning's expression as usual, he put his heart back into his stomach again......

……

"Jinfan thief Gan Ning Gan Xingba?

Do you want to fight me alone, so that you can prove your ability, and then use this to meet the lord and go to the emperor's uncle? ”

Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile when he got the notice.

"This is to use me Zhang Wenyuan as a stepping stone."

"Don't pay attention to him, he's just a river thief, and he deserves to fight with you alone?

Just let the soldiers shoot them away. ”

Someone on the side said.

Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "I'd better go over and take a look, and weigh whether this person has the ability......

If you have the ability, it's not bad to accept a general for the emperor's uncle......"
