It has only been half a month since Guan Ping came to Gangneung last time.

But now it looks like the atmosphere here is clearly a little different.

The previous Cao army's naval warships were all clustered together, and they couldn't see the end at a glance, which looked quite spectacular.

And now, although they are also clustered together, there is a lot of distance between the boats on the river bank and the camp on the shore, and the scene looks very weird.

When Ma Liang and Guan Ping arrived by boat, a boat on each side rushed over quickly, and the soldiers at the bow of the boat, one humble and the other irritable, asked Guan Ping about his origin.

Guan Ping had already prepared, and Wang Mo, the tun chief under Le Jin, stepped forward slowly, claiming that he was ordered by Le Jin to come to deliver food.

Their procedures were true and complete, and they did not show any aggressiveness, and the Cao Jun and sailors on the riverside naturally agreed to let them dock.

But it was a very nerve-wracking matter to follow whose order to land on the shore - the subordinates of Cai Mao, the governor of the navy and the marquis of Hanyang Pavilion, asked them to move closer to the south and land on the shore, while on the other side, Chen Qun, the prime minister and the army, was personally on the shore and forced Guan Ping and his people to land to the north.

It's all fought to this point......

Guan Ping and Ma Liang thought that as long as Cao Cao was there, they should be able to reconcile all this, but now they realized that some things really can't be solved by just a few words.

The Cai family, the strongest wealthy family in Jingzhou, has finally shown their hideous fangs, and Cao Cao is now at the point where it is difficult to ride a tiger.

punishing the old classmate Cai Mao, which is tantamount to completely handing over the entire Jingzhou, and may even lead to the Jingzhou wealthy family represented by the Cai family collectively defecting to Liu Bei's warm arms.

If Cai Mao is not disposed of, how can it be worthy of the clan represented by Cao Hong, which is a move that shakes the foundation of Cao Jun.

Cao Cao's military strategy and literary talent are very powerful, but he is far from being the top in terms of counterbalancing Huairou, and he is helpless for a while at this critical moment.

Now, he can only barely maintain the status quo and secretly send someone to negotiate with Cai Mao.

Chen Qun anxiously looked at the incoming ship, waiting for the development of things.

At this time, a grain ship arrived, which may directly collapse the relationship between Cao Jun and Cai Mao.

Although the power of the Cao army is still far greater than that of the Cai family, this basically means that it is impossible to win this battle.

Cai Mao's side is also waiting.

After punishing Cao Hong, Cao Cao did not send troops to encircle and suppress him, which shows that he has realized Cai Mao's ability, but now he is also facing a dilemma.

This grain ship came from Xiangyang, and Cai Mao could not do without his grain, but he had to let them stop at his dock, otherwise it would not be enough to show his majesty.

But now that Chen Qun has made it clear that he wants to fight, if he makes too much trouble, he is afraid that he will fight, and it will be a difficult matter at that time.

To put it bluntly, Cai Mao was only forced to show his madness after failing to do so, and the Cai family's behavior of maximizing interests was not to turn his face with Cao Cao, but to force Cao Cao to cede a lot of power to him like Liu Biao.

Seeing the grain ship slowly approaching, Cai Mao, who was hiding in the dark, pinched her sweat, thought about it, and was still ready to compete with Chen Qun.

But just then, he heard a call:

"But Uncle Cai in person? How is Uncle Cai doing? ”

This voice was a little familiar, so Cai Mao couldn't remember who it was for a while, he hesitated slightly, but still stood on the bow of the boat and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a young man standing on the opposite boat who was a little familiar but couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Hey, who's he?

This is not to blame Cai Mao.

His main enemies before were Liu Bei and others, how could they pay special attention to Guan Yu's milky son, but the master book under him was quite obedient, and said with a little horror:

"Prince, this person seems to be ...... The son of Guan Yu? ”

"Huh?"

Cai Mao stared at the past, and saw that Guan Ping's face in the distance was gradually clearly recognizable, and it was actually a little similar to the young man in Guan Yu's family who always stared at him in his impression.

This, this......

"Uncle Cai, it's been a long time."

Guan Ping bowed to Cai Mao at the bow of the boat, with a smile on his face:

"Little nephew Yunshan, Uncle Cai took care of me last time, and this time I came to Jiangling to deliver grain, and I also asked my uncle to make it convenient and let my little nephew go ashore!"

In front of everyone's eyes, Cai Mao, who even Cao Hong dared to beat him on the street, immediately shuddered.

Who is your uncle, don't confuse your relatives, how can I have anything to do with you?!

This Guan family Lang turned Jiangling upside down before, why did he come from Xiangyang this time, and he was still sending food to Lejin? God knows what the hell he got up with again.

Cai Mao was reluctant to let him dock, but Guan Ping's boat was getting closer and closer, and an uncle was calling, Cai Mao subconsciously wanted to wave his hand to kill Guan Ping directly, but he suddenly turned a few thoughts in his heart, and barely squeezed out a smile:

"It turned out to be Yun Xian's nephew, how is Ling Zun? Didn't my nephew come with you? ”

Guan Ping had been hanging his heart before, for fear that Cai Mao would reveal his identity, so he could only turn around and run, seeing Cai Mao actually greet him familiarly, he finally showed a sincere smile on his face.

"My father is very good, this time I am the only one. After the business is settled, I will go to my uncle's house to meet you. ”

"Haha, I haven't seen Ling Zun for more than ten years, and you have grown up. It's still business, I'm going to have a few drinks with Ling Zun another day! ”

Cai Mao said this very clearly.

I used to know this father surnamed Yun, but I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and it's normal to recognize the wrong person. He warned Guan Ping again, don't come to me if you have nothing to do.

Guan Ping smiled and bowed again, and Cai Mao also took the opportunity to put on a posture of not embarrassing the juniors, so that the army dispersed and let Guan Ping land.

Chen Qun finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried up to greet him.

Guan Ping asked Chen Qun's name and official position, and calmly handed over the military orders of Xu Huang and Le Jin, and Ma Liang and Wang Mo also came up to pay a visit, and told Chen Qun the original story of the previous encounter with the Jiangdong Naval Army, the desperate battle of everyone, and the loss of two boats.

Chen Qun breathed a sigh of relief, helped Guan Ping up with his own hands, and helped him pat the dust on his clothes, and said with a pleasant face:

"Tanzhi, I have heard about Ling Zun's righteous act of resisting Sun Jian for a long time, and I can't imagine that I am really happy after seeing the righteous man today. You have made a lot of meritorious deeds this time, and you will have to study and practice martial arts more in the future, and do things for the court. ”

Guan Ping couldn't hold back and didn't laugh - he casually made up his father's name and reality, and Chen Qun actually pretended to have heard of it, which was really funny.

"I, I'm waiting for the loss of two transport ships, and I hope the prime minister is not strange."

"Hey, what is that? It is not easy to escape from Zhou Yu's hands, how can the prime minister treat the righteous poorly? If there is a chance another day, I will lead you to see the prime minister! ”

Guan Ping's face was gloomy: "How can the general of the defeated army be brave?" Our army fought hard several times, and Brother Ji Chang decisively gave up the ship to escape, how dare he go to the prime minister to be embarrassed. ”

Chen Qunxin said that the battle that day must have been extremely tragic, and this kid must have abandoned his comrades before he barely escaped, so he was afraid that Cao Cao would reveal his stuff under his inquiry.

It's human nature, but it doesn't matter.

He shook Guan Ping's palm, gently like a big brother:

"Victory or defeat is just a common thing in soldiers, and it is also a shame to see the prime minister...... Hey, that's it, the prime minister hasn't been in a good mood lately.

In the future, if there is anything in Jiangling City, just report Chen's name, and I will definitely help you deal with it. ”

Of course, a person from a formal clan like Chen Qun was too lazy to make friends with such a rural person, but he unexpectedly sensed a little opportunity from Guan Ping's words.

Now the relationship between Cao Jun and Cai Mao is very stiff, and he has not been able to find a chance to reconcile, this kid is brave and respectful, and he is quite respected by Ma Liang, even an old pawn like Wang Mo is respectful to him, and he must have some ability.

If you can make good use of this person, you may be able to break the current deadlock.

Chen Qun has the right to join the army, and if he makes good arrangements and takes all the credit for ensuring the smooth flow of military food on himself, it will be a great credit.

Guan Ping was secretly happy in his heart, and said busily:

"Then thank you Chen for taking care of the army, a certain person who was originally Chen joined the army and killed the thief."

Chen Qunxin said that this kind of country man is really easy to fool, and a slight twist can make him grateful.

There was a slight hint of reserve on his face:

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. The sons and daughters have also worked hard, well, these three boats of food are not much, so they will be rewarded to the sons and daughters of his subordinates! ”
