Chapter 19 Walking by Water

Bite!

Feel the contempt from Zhou Cang, and the faint king point is +10!

Bite!

Feel the anger from Zhou Cang, faint king points +100!

Looking at Zhou Cang, whose anger value was soaring, Yuan Yao's ears sounded the prompt sound of reunion after a long absence, and he didn't have much joy in his heart for a while, but stood in place blankly.

How much does Zhou Cang despise himself to think that I can be linked to the faint king?

And this black-faced bearded man not only looks down on himself and doesn't say anything, but can also have such tortuous mood swings in a short period of time, isn't he a lover?

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Yao fell into self-doubt for a while.

In fact, Yuan Yao didn't know that Zhou Cang was just a reckless and brave man, and his judgment of people was only based on martial arts and faithfulness as the criteria in his heart, whether he was handsome or not was irrelevant, and recklessness was the invincible faith in his heart.

"Don't worry, I won't keep my hand!" When Xu Chu heard Zhou Cang's words, he nodded in agreement.

Single-handedly, it is natural to go all out, how can you experience the essence of the water release in the battle?

Even so, Xu Chu did not use a weapon, and gradually approached Zhou Cang with his bare hands, seeing Xu Chu so big, the cold light in Zhou Cang's eyes was even colder than before, and with a wave of the big knife, he slashed at Xu Chu's neck.

As soon as the two fought, the soldiers surrounding immediately let out a tsunami-like scream, and even Huang Zhong was not willing to be lonely, and beat the war drums with a serious face.

The empty mountain stream, the war drums shook the sky, and the sound of shouting and shouting startled the birds and beasts around to scatter, making the two fight each other like a general when the army confronted each other, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Facing the blade, Xu Chu turned slightly sideways to avoid the fatal point, and the big knife deviated by a few inches, but it pulled a wound on Xu Chu's body, and blood splashed.

But Xu Chu didn't care at all, his face became more and more hideous, leaned back, put his body against Zhou Cang's chest, grabbed Zhou Cang's wrist with a knife, shouted, quickly turned around, and fell with his back over his shoulder.

From injury to countermeasures, Xu Chu's set of actions was as clean and neat as his peers, which made people stunned.

Boom!

The sound of hitting the ground came, Zhou Cang was thrown to the ground, and the big knife in his hand also fell to the side, but Xu Chu's shoulder was bloody.

Without waiting for Zhou Cang to react, Xu Chu quickly turned around and swooped towards Zhou Cang, raised his right fist high, and slammed it into Zhou Cang's eyes.

Zhou Cang barely raised his arms to block, and under Xu Chu's brute force, Zhou Cang's arm was almost broken.

In an instant, Xu Chu's next punch came one after another, slamming down with a "bang".

When the dust settled, the originally noisy soldiers instantly became quiet.

This was followed by even louder cheers from the soldiers.

Zhou Cang, who was waiting for death with his eyes closed, heard the cheers, opened his eyes in surprise, and looked at Xu Chu in horror at the moment, cold sweat instantly wet the vest, if it wasn't for Xu Chu's punch that finally smashed to the ground, he estimated that he would be either dead or disabled!

"Someone, call the doctor!" Seeing that the dust had settled, Yuan Yao immediately shouted loudly.

Looking at the bloody wound on Xu Chu's shoulder, Yuan Yao was frightened, looking at Xu Chu's face full of worry.

Yuan Yao never expected that Zhou Cang would be able to hurt Xu Chu this week!

Watching the duel between the two up close, Yuan Yao had a deeper understanding of the fight in this era, which was an era of sacrificing his life.

The real fist to the flesh, the bayonet to see the red in the troubled times.

"Haha, boy, are you convinced?" Feeling Yuan Yao's urgency and concern, Xu Chu smiled heartily, not caring about the wounds on his body, but looking at Zhou Cang with a smile and asking loudly.

"The general's martial arts are far superior to me, and he is in submission!" Feeling Xu Chu's boldness, Zhou Cang hugged his fists and replied.

Zhou Cang actually knew in his heart that people could subdue him with a big knife with his bare hands, which was enough to prove that the gap between the two was huge, and the arrogance in his heart had also been reined in.

"Childe, I, Zhou Cang, am willing to serve Childe, if Childe does not give up, Zhou Cang swears not to rebel!" Zhou Cang cleaned up his clothes and bowed to Yuan Yao.

If you think about it, everything will fall into place.

"Okay, in that case, why don't you just make Xu Chu a deputy?" Seeing Zhou Cang's sincere submission, Yuan Yao thought about it and asked.

"Naturally, I can't ask for it!" When Zhou Cang heard Yuan Yao's arrangement, he also showed joy.

Perhaps, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other!

With this out, Yuan Yao's department was naturally unimpeded in the area of Woniu Mountain, and after accepting hundreds of women and children from Woniu Mountain, he went all the way south.

A few days later, the army arrived in Xiangcheng.

Xiangcheng is located between Nandun County and Xiang County, and also belongs to the Yuan family's sphere of influence, Xiangcheng County Order is also served by Yuan's people, and Xiangcheng City is not large, and adjacent to Yingshui, which is equivalent to a transfer station of Yuan's in Runan County.

Xiangcheng is not only the hub of water and land in Yuzhou, but also the supply place of north-south trade, which was very prosperous in the past.

When the army entered the city, Yuan Yao rode on a horse, looked at the bleak streets and the people who were hurriedly fleeing on both sides, and listened to the sound of horses' hooves "stomping", and sighed in his heart.

"Childe, this wasn't the case here before, if it weren't for the yellow turban's repeated troubles, hey..."The county magistrate saw the look in Yuan Yao's eyes, and sighed after explaining a few words.

Hearing the words of the county order, Yuan Yao did not give any response.

The way of the world is like this, and it is useless to say. If we don't put an end to this turmoil, it will never stop.

But to end the troubled times, this goal is too ethereal for Yuan Yao.

"How prepared is the ship?" Putting aside his previous emotions, Yuan Yao asked about business.

"There were more than 30 merchant ships of the Yuan clan in the past, and more than 200 civilian ships collected in the past few days are enough to carry more than 5,000 people according to the estimates of the lower officials!" The county order was naturally respectful to Yuan Yao, and hurriedly replied.

"Okay, the county order is happy!" Hearing that it was enough to load more than 5,000 people, Yuan Yao affirmed the county order.

"It is an honor for the lower officials to be able to serve the son!" Hearing Yuan Yao's words, the county order seemed a little flattered.

This county order has the meaning of stuttering, Yuan Yao can naturally hear it, but after hearing the other party's name and family history, he lost interest.

This county order is a member of the Ying clan of Runan County, and when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had not yet died, he took refuge in the Yuan clan in Runan, and he can be regarded as a protégé of the Yuan family.

But Yuan Yao thought about it carefully, and couldn't remember any famous people in the Ying family, so he automatically ignored it in his heart.

After that, the army rested for a day, took the grain and grass prepared in advance, and rode the boat along Yingshui all the way south.

After a few days of driving, Yuan Yao understood the limitations of ships in this period, which simply subverted Yuan Yao's cognition.

In particular, the huge merchant ships, in addition to relying on sails to drive, also rely on the slender men on the shore to pull along the river, which is completely handmade and human-powered.

Because he didn't want to move too much, Yuan Yao's army chose to put away the sails and paddle when the wind was headwind.

Fortunately, Yuan Yao's soldiers had many locals who had studied oars, so the fleet could barely move slowly on the river.

Even so, Yuan Yao, who occasionally appeared at the bow of the ship, still had a headache.

Since it was not a regular sailor, on the Yingshui, Yuan Yao's fleet had small boats spinning from time to time, and sometimes even a dozen or so boats circled together, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Seeing Yuan Yao's sad face, Wei Zhongxian stood beside Yuan Yao and looked at the ships that were circling in circles: "My lord, my subordinates think this is a good thing. ”

"Why?" Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Yuan Yao turned his head curiously.

"We have a long way to go, and we have time to familiarize these people with the operation, and besides, these people are used to it!" Wei Zhongxian said in surprise.
