Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 890

Gan Ning and Lu Xun captured the Dantu water village before Jianye's express boat arrived at the front line. They thought it would be a tough battle, but the people guarding the water village were all old and weak.

Lu Xun sailed into the water village in a battleship, and after meeting Gan Ning, he sighed: "The lights in the water village were not dimmed last night. I thought Sun Shao would stick to it, but I didn't expect to run away."

"The Sun family is already a cornered beast. If they don't run away, they will be captured. General Lu left 2000 men to garrison. We will go directly to Wu County and capture Sun Quan so that we can return to Mr. Gan Ning." Gan Ning didn't care.

Lu Xun then made a suggestion: "We will go to Wu County for three hundred miles. General Gan can continue to march by land, and collect Qu'a, Piling, Wuxi and other counties along the way. At the end, we will block the mouth of Songjiang River by water. We will finally join forces in Wu County."

"With the help of Shiyi (Lu Ju) and Gongxu (Luo Tong), we should be able to easily conquer the cities along the way. Then we will see you in Wu County." When Gan Ning was speaking, he deliberately glanced at Su Fei, signaling Su Fei to be alert to Lu Xun .

"See you in Wu County." Lu Xun clasped his fists in return.

Su Fei and Gan Ning, who have been friends for many years, can understand with a simple glance, that Lu Xun's surrender was too hasty, even with Lan Tian's letter as a guarantee, it is too difficult for Gan Ning to be completely at ease.

The two soldiers and horses parted ways in Dantu immediately, and Gan Ning marched on the densely populated land, passing by many villages and cities in a mess, as if he had just experienced a military disaster.

When Gan Ning was resting in Qu'a, looking at the bleak scene in front of him, he couldn't help asking Luo Tong: "It is said that Jiangdong Wu County is rich and prosperous, why are there thieves in this place?"

"Shanyue bandits are hiding in the southern mountains, and they will never come to these places." Luo Tong didn't understand either.

Gan Ning asked again: "I haven't seen any young people anywhere. Could it be that they were recruited by Sun Quan? How many people are you going to be buried with?"

"Uh, there is indeed such a possibility." Luo Tong was full of embarrassment, and suddenly saw Lu Ju returning from riding a horse, so he pointed to the front and changed the subject: "Shi Yi came back from investigating information, and he will know the truth soon."

Lu Ju arrived in no time, and bowed to the two with his hands clasped together: "General Gan, Gong Xu."

"What's the situation? Why are there no young people? They were taken away by Sun Quan?" Luo Tong asked eagerly.

"Sun Quan not only forcibly recruited young men, but also young girls and young women. He also took money and food from the city treasury." Lu Ju's voice was very small, and he was ashamed to say Sun Quan's name.

"What? How is this different from robbers? The purple-bearded rat's wives and concubines are trapped in Jianye, and they still want to find beauty among the people at this time? I don't know what to say about him. He deserves to end up like this." Luo Tong stomped his feet angrily.

"Oh, who knows?" Lu Ju shook his head and smiled wryly.

After hearing this, Gan Ning said solemnly: "Since the people have been looted by Sun Quan, let's try not to disturb the people when we pass by. They are now under the rule of the master, and they will use the compressed army rations to satisfy their hunger for a few days. When Wu County is destroyed, we will reward the three armies."

"Wei." Luo Tong and Lu Ju clasped their fists at the same time.

Gan Ning encountered no resistance along the way, and Lu Xun's waterway was unimpeded. When the fleet reached the mouth of the Songjiang River, they didn't find a single ship, so they had a bad feeling.

When Lu Xun's ship sailed into Zhenze (Taihu Lake), not to mention a warship, he didn't even see a larger fishing boat during the march. He confirmed his conjecture, and Sun Quan ran away.

On September [-]th, Lu Xun arrived in Wu County three days earlier than Gan Ning. He also saw the scene on Gan Ning Road. His eyes were filled with desolation and dilapidation.

Under the empty city gate, the golden wind rolled the fallen leaves and fluttered them. Lu Xun raised his head and let out a long sigh, and rode his horse into his hometown.

When Lu Xun entered Wu County, Sun Quan had already led a vast fleet, sailing northward along the offshore sea, and at this time came to the waters near Yandu.

Sun Quan personally commanded hundreds of warships, drove tens of thousands of large fishing boats, and marched like migratory birds. Except for the remaining 3 soldiers, the remaining 7 to [-] young men and women were forcibly recruited during this period. , even if Sun Quan was in exile in despair, he managed to collect a hundred thousand.

Since Sima Shi proposed to go to Liaodong, Sun Quan instructed his resourceful adopted son to start preparations, thinking that it would be better to take the people with him than to rely on others, so that he could be self-sufficient in times of crisis.

"Gu has always taken this step. Does Marquis Wen regret staying with me? If you return to the Central Plains with your younger brother Zhao, you won't have to drift on the sea. The distant relatives of the Sima family in the Central Plains should take care of your brother, maybe there will be A stable home." Sun Quan glanced at the south, and then said frustrated words to Master Sima.

Return to the Central Plains?

Sima Shi shook his head and smiled wryly, glanced at his crotch, and thought that if the two brothers walked together, maybe his one would completely burn out the incense.

"Father, please don't say that. My home is where my wife (Sun Luban) is. It's a pity that my aunt (Bu Lianshi) is stuck in Jianye." Master Sima lowered his head and sighed.

"With the prince and the tiger staying by my side, Gu is already very fortunate and contented, and I won't mention your aunt." Sun Quan looked at the densely packed fishing boats, thinking that finding a young woman is not easy?

"I have asked many fishermen about the wind and waves at sea in autumn and winter, but the wind and waves become weaker as you go north, so I suggest not to walk too fast, and find a landing spot early at night." Sima Shi said with his hands clasped.

Sun Quan then added: "In addition to anchoring, the ships must be deep. It is best to connect the ships with ropes to prevent them from being overturned by the waves at night."

"Well, the boy will arrange for the boat to dock later." Master Sima nodded slightly.

After Sun Quan gave up Lu Xun, he regarded Sima Shi as his confidant and think tank, and consulted him on matters no matter how big or small. Now the more he looks at this son-in-law, the more pleasing to his eyes.

If there was no 'Marquis Wu' Sima Shi, Sun Quan probably would not have gone north, but would have taken these people to find an unnamed deserted island to end the remaining time of King Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"By the way, I just think of the Yuan family's demise in the past. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang also fled to Liaodong, and were finally defeated by Gongsun Kangxiao. How does Marquis Wen think Gongsun Gong will treat orphans? If Gongsun's family is like this, don't we Goats in the mouth of tigers?" Thinking of this, Sun Quan's face suddenly became heavy.

Master Sima thought for a while, and then replied: "We are slightly different from the Yuan family now. Besides, the situation in Jiangdong has not been spread to Liaodong for half a year. As long as the adoptive father does not show up easily, we will use the excuse of the two companies to do business and buy money." Ma, maybe we can attack Liaodong with a false way, and Wei Guo is our ally, Gongsun Gong should not be so rude."

"Fake ways to attack Guo?" Sun Quan suddenly remembered Zhou Yu's surprise attack on Jiangling, and thought that this strategy was not very effective, and then frowned again: "We are bringing tens of thousands of people, how can Gongsun Gong not be suspicious?"

"Father, don't worry, when we get to the border of Qingzhou, we can just stay in the barren beach temporarily. If the local defenders find out, we can lie that we have Cao Pi's permission, and maybe there will be food and grass assistance." Sima Shi has long thought countermeasures.

"Shan, I have Marquis Wen, like a fish in water." Sun Quan smiled gratifiedly.

However, the thoughts are very full, but the reality is extremely skinny.

A huge fleet of tens of thousands of ships sailed on the sea for half a month, and finally approached Donglai, Qingzhou, but due to successive waves of wind and waves, half of the ships were overturned in the sea, and tens of thousands of young men and women who were forced to come here were too late Play the Titanic and die in the ocean.

Just when Sun Quan's confidence was hit, a small fleet from across the sea gave King Wei Wu another choice.

The sailors in this fleet were dressed in simple clothes, had very strange hairstyles, and spoke a barbarian language that Sun Quan could not understand. Only a few of the hundreds of people could speak Chinese.

Seeing Sun Quan's huge fleet, the Yi people seemed to see a god, and claimed to be the messenger of Queen Himiko.
