Jiangxia, Xiakou County, school barracks.

A burly man with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, dark complexion, and an unusually conspicuous scar on his cheek was drinking sullen wine in the tent.

Alcohol was not allowed in the barracks, but when the captain accused the man, the man didn't hear it at all, and after he moved his hand, he realized that he couldn't beat it at all, and finally had to turn a blind eye.

"Xingba, why are you drinking again?" After a man outside the tent walked in, he unceremoniously sat down next to Gan Ning and drank with him.

"How do I keep watching you run outside these days, are you going out to cut the path again?" Gan Ning asked casually.

"I wanted to, but I didn't dare to go."

Shen Mi, who fled from Yizhou to Jingzhou with Gan Ning, said helplessly: "This is not as good as Shudi, no one dares to stop you from acting on the river, and the warships of the Sun family often cross the border, if you are unlucky, you are afraid that you will be cut." ”

Jiangxia is Huang Zu's territory, and Huang Zu shot Sun Jian, the founder of the Sun family's foundation, six years ago, and the two sides became enemies.

Fortunately a few years ago, Sun Ce has been dormant under Yuan Shu, but when he has the opportunity, he will declare a personal vendetta, but there are few opportunities.

Now it's not good to run to Jiangdong, except for fighting with Yan Baihu and Wang Lang, and when he finds an opportunity, he runs through Jiangxia to make trouble.

Even if he is not free, he will let Sun Quan lead the team, and if he is too much, he will not force it, and when he encounters the Jiangxia army, he will be beaten with one word.

As a result, Shen Mi, who was also a Jinfan thief, was particularly embarrassed, he had no grievances with the Sun family at all, but the business that was affected could not be carried out.

"Xingba, we are not Jingxiang after all, we have no connections, Huang Zu looks down on us, it is better to get more money and go to a good place when the time comes, how about taking the brothers out to do a big vote?" Shen Mi is tempting Gan Ning.

"You're not from Jingzhou, but I'm from Nanyang, don't you know?" Gan Ning replied sneeringly.

"He doesn't just treat you coldly."

Seeing that Gan Ning was still indifferent, he turned around, "I found a good place, Zhenrong's caravan will transport a few boatloads of salt to the Lujiang River every other month, the waters of the Lujiang River are not too far, and the salt is simply given away for nothing." ”

Although salt was controlled by the government in this era, and the family also reached out, the private salt trade was still prevalent, and in many places it could even be used as hard currency.

"Didn't we rob him when we first arrived in Jiangxia, saying that we were afraid of being robbed and took the land route, why did we take the water route again?" Gan Ning finally became interested.

Zhenrong is a VIP customer in the eyes of the Jinfan thief, every time he robs his caravan, he is full of harvest, and the accompanying guards are weak, Shen Mi is right, robbing him is no different from giving him away.

"I heard that Lu Bu recruited him a few days ago but was scolded by him as a border outcast, and the two had a grudge because of this, and now that Lu Bu is in power, he won't even let him go on the business road, he can only take the waterway from Guangling."

Hearing Shen Mi say this, Gan Ning even put down the wine jug in his hand, frowning and pondering.

Robbing Rong is just a trivial matter, and he is not afraid of the Sun family at all, Sun Ce has the title of Little Overlord, but he didn't meet me Gan Xingba.

The only thing to worry about was Huang Zu, after all, he strictly forbade looting.

"Don't think about Xingba, I have arranged it all with our own boat, and the brothers don't need to go too much, two boats for 100 people are enough."

Shen Mi was excited because he knew how much a few boatloads of salt were worth.

Gan Ning likes gorgeous clothes, but he is not a greedy person for money, and he simply can't see the discomfort of this group of old guys who followed him from Yizhou to Jingzhou.

In the past, they didn't want to go, and they didn't force it.

Now it's different, there are Sun family soldiers on the Yangtze River, and if you don't go, the group of people under your hands will not have enough confidence.

Gan Ning stood up with his hands on the table, walked to the side of the soldier lanthanum and stroked the crossed halberds, the ends of which were connected by iron chains, and they were integrated.

"When."

"The first two times were in the twenty-seventh eighth, and now it is the middle of the month, but it is fast to flow from Jiangxia to Lujiang, two days is enough, we still have time to prepare." Shen Mi shook his hands and was excited.

"The old rule, use our own boats, and let the brothers leave the camp separately." After Gan Ning finished speaking, Shen Mi responded excitedly and ran out.

Such an operation still took time to prepare, and the private boats were placed on the merchants' ferries, and the sergeants had to be selected to slowly leave the barracks.

However, Shen Mi already has experience, and the big problem can't be solved, so it will take some time.

......

Liu Xun wore a robe, sat cross-legged on the couch, rubbing his hands to dispel the chill caused by the heavy rain for several days.

The rain was so heavy and so urgent, which he didn't expect.

However, at this time, he was also like Lu Bu, full of gratitude for this rainstorm.

The ground has been soaked in mud, and in many places there are even deep pits that resemble swamps.

In such a situation, not to mention that the cavalry could not attack, even the infantry could not.

In other words, now that he has the most precious respite, he needs time.

It takes time for Zheng Bao to plunder Lu Bu's grain routes, and it takes time to rectify the Huainan army under the domination and fear of cavalry.

"If only I had a cavalry." He sighed again.

Liu Xun felt that he might not be far from this goal, if Lu Bu's grain road was cut off, the soldiers would have no fighting spirit at that time, and after the road surface was dried, his army would be pressed, and he should be invincible.

Not?

What happened?

He felt that the bed was shaking, and he jumped up subconsciously, only to find that it was not the bed that was shaking, but the earth.

What do you do, do the earth dragon turn over?

Before Liu Xun could figure out what was going on, there were bursts of terrifying shouts outside the tent, "Hong Yan! Hong Yan is here! ”

Hong Yan is here?

Is it the water that has come up? That's a problem...

He was about to go out and have a look, but he found that the tent was flooded with water, and it seemed to pour so fast that it reached his knees in a moment.

Liu Ye poured water into the account, and said with a sad face: "Fujun, the Lu army dug the upstream embankment, and the flood poured in. ”

"Move the camp! Hurry up and move the camp! "Although the rain is much lighter, the ground is full of silt, and Lu Bu has no way to sneak attack, and there is still a chance to move the camp.

"Fujun, the camp has been scattered, and people can't do it, let alone get out of the camp." He felt that Liu Xun didn't seem to realize what was happening.

"What then?"

Liu Xun walked up to Liu Ye and said excitedly: "Ziyang, Ziyang, when you are dying, is there a good plan?" ”

Liu Ye couldn't say anything except shake his head.

The water that flooded the barracks would not drown, and the lowest point was up to the thighs, but the soldiers could not stay in the water for a long time, otherwise they would all be soaked.

It's not realistic to move the camp, he just went out for a walk, and he may sink into his ankle with any foot down, and it is difficult to walk, let alone move the camp.

"Come down, Fujun..."

"Nope! Perhaps, maybe Lu Bu's situation is worse than ours! "Half a bowl of tea ago, he was still looking forward to collecting Lu Bu's cavalry, and now let him surrender, Liu Xun couldn't accept it for a while.

He went out of the water and went to the soldiers himself, and participated in the collection of ordnance and the transfer of grain and grass, until early in the morning, when the rain stopped, but found that the situation did not improve because of this.

There was no loose water outside the camp, so there were puddles and mud traps everywhere.

In the camp, there was already an ocean, and the water level did not continue to rise, but people were tired from soaking all night and had no place to rest, and many sergeants could only pestle their spears and barely slow down.

In the distance, Lu Bu's Daxu appeared, and there were many people coming, all of them were infantry, but they were not in a hurry to approach, but they just waved their flags and shouted in the distance.

Liu Xun knew that this was hinting to himself, they were fine, and it was only himself who suffered.

Looking at the soldiers around him, some of his eyes couldn't open, his upper body was holding the carriage, and his lower body was squinting in the water; There are also those who rest back to back.

But the word flee was written on everyone's faces.

It's powerless...

However, he couldn't make the decision to surrender, this time the battle of tens of thousands of people only lasted for a month, two battles, the number of people killed on both sides plus together was less than a thousand, and Lu Bu didn't even appear on the battlefield, so he lost?

Liu Xun felt that surrendering in such an absurd way was more humiliating than killing him.

Unwilling to return, the general trend will not change the slightest bit because of his personal wishes, and the hollow fatigue in the eyes of the soldiers told him that even if they face a thousand horsemen now, they will not hesitate to choose to disarm.

Liu Xun turned around with difficulty, turned his back to Liu Ye, and muttered in a deep voice, "It's down..."
