Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Early the next morning, Wang Lei led his men to continue on their way.

However, what happened at the post station in Shiqiao Town was not concealed, and spread quickly.When the news reached the magistrate of Dantu County, the magistrate shivered with fright.In his heart, he was grateful that Wang Lei was safe and sound, but also fearful and angry that Yan Baihu bribed his officials.Once something happened to Wang Lei in Dantu County, he, a small magistrate of Dantu County, would definitely die without a place to bury him.And Yan Baihu quietly bribed his subordinates, which also posed a huge threat to him.

The superimposition of various reasons made it difficult for the county magistrate of Dantu County to let go.

When Wang Lei arrived, the county magistrate went to apologize in person.

Seeing Wang Lei's kind expression, the county magistrate's heart hung in mid-air, and he said respectfully: "My lord, I have prepared a banquet in the city, to clean up the dust for my lord, and to make amends for my lord."

Wang Lei refused: "I appreciate the kindness of the county magistrate. The matter in Shiqiao Town has passed, so there is no need to mention it. It is the business to manage your subordinates well. Time is urgent. If I don't go to the city, you are ready." Just dry food and water."

"promise!"

The county magistrate did not dare to disobey the order, and ordered the soldiers under his command to prepare dry food and clean water.

Wang Lei completed the supply, did not stay, and led people to continue northward.

One day, Wang Lei brought people to a pier in the north of Dantu County.Wang Lei temporarily stopped to rest, and after the news of Wang Lei's arrival spread, in less than half a day, large ships and boats came to greet him.

Wearing it and hanging it, it is Gan Ning's Jinfan flag.

In order to ensure the safety of the waterway, Wang Lei directly asked Gan Ning to greet him.

Only Gan Ning's ability can ensure safety.

In fact, this is also the reason why Wang Lei stayed in Qu'a, he had to wait for Gan Ning's big ship to arrive.On the way to Qu'e, Wang Lei encountered many difficulties, and finally arrived in Qu'e without any danger.On the way back, we should not take it lightly just because Dong Yu has already been sent away. On the contrary, we must strengthen our vigilance, otherwise what happened at the post station in Shiqiao Town may happen again.

On the pier, Gan Ning, wearing a brocade robe, strode over.The bells around his waist had already been put away, and when he came to Wang Lei, Gan Ning said solemnly, "My lord, please board the boat."

Wang Lei nodded, and started boarding the ship with everyone.

When I came to the big ship, soon, one after another big ship set sail and went away.

The fleet headed west towards Jingzhou.

Wang Lei stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, enjoying the gentle wind from the river and basking in the warm autumn sun, quite comfortable. Looking at Gan Ning, Wang Lei asked, "Xingba, how are the family members in Dazhai doing?" ?”

Gan Ning replied: "Don't worry, my lord, the family members are already on their way to Jizhou."

"Is anyone protecting you?" Wang Lei asked with concern.

Gan Ning said, "I have sent someone to protect him, and nothing will happen."

Wang Lei nodded and said: "This matter has been handled well. When we return from Qu'a, we may not know what will happen. It will be more beneficial for us to go north first."

Gan Ning suddenly fell silent, his expression slightly dignified.

Wang Lei asked, "Did something happen?"

Dian Wei patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said, "Xingba, you don't have to hide from my lord's face. It's better to speak up when you have something to say. If you have any problems, just say it."

Gan Ning said: "It's a pity that I can't take away the big boats I have accumulated over the years."

Gan Ning has spent many years in the Yangtze River, and it is hard for Gan Ning to work hard to build this foundation.For Gan Ning, what he cares most about is the big boats, boats and large boats that he cobbled together, which he has accumulated little by little.However, abandoning so many ships suddenly seemed like a knife cut in his heart.Even though he had already made up his mind to follow Wang Lei, when things came to an end, he still felt reluctant.

Wang Lei smiled inwardly, this is what Gan Ning was worried about.

Isn't it just a ship?

In the future, Gan Ning will command not only these ships, but groups of ships.

Wang Lei's eyes were sincere, and he said unquestionably: "Xingba, these ships are only suitable for sailing on the river. When they are at sea, it is difficult to resist the storms and waves on the sea. The east of Jizhou is close to the sea, and there are countless bays, which are suitable for building docks. Fleet. After Yuan Shu is destroyed and Jizhou is unified, I will definitely build a naval fleet. At that time, you will lead the army across the sea, and that will be the real overlord of the water. What you have now are only ships on the river. It's not worth mentioning. Don't worry, there will be a day when you will cross the sea."

As soon as he heard Wang Lei's conversation, the slight sadness in Gan Ning's heart also dissipated.

The overlord of the water, cross the sea!

This is far more exciting than crossing the Yangtze River.More importantly, Wang Lei is willing to build a new fleet for him. There is no doubt that this is what Gan Ning is most excited about.

With a smile on the corner of Wang Lei's mouth, he continued: "Xingba, for you, the most important thing is not a ship, but a craftsman who can build a dock and make a ship. These people must be guaranteed. The ship is gone. , can still be manufactured. But without these skilled craftsmen, it is difficult to manufacture docks and large ships.”

Gan Ning nodded and said, "My lord, don't worry, these people are with their families, and I will send someone to escort them."

Wang Lei felt relieved, and there were endless expectations in his eyes.How exciting it is to have an invincible navy across the seas.But this is still a long way off for Wang Lei.

"There is a situation!!"

A loud roar suddenly came from above the head.

The person shouting was actually on the mast. He observed something in the distance and immediately reported it.

Gan Ning heard the news and shouted, "Be alert!"

With an order, all the large ships and warships following Gan Ning were ready to take precautions.It's just that the distance between the two sides is not far away since the situation on the river can be observed with eyesight.Soon, large ships could be clearly seen appearing in sight.

The person who came was the Jiujiang thief led by Zhou Tai.

Gan Ning frowned and said, "Jiu-jiang-thief, really haunted!"

Wang Lei stared at the large ships coming, and his eyes were dignified.Fighting on the river is different from fighting on land.On the river, Dian Wei and Lu Bu were not used to it, and it was difficult to exert their strongest combat effectiveness.Fortunately, Gan Ning was a mighty general who was good at commanding troops to fight.

Gan Ning set out to prepare for the battle.

One by one, one by one, the big ships are ready.

Holding a big knife in his hand, Zhou Tai stood on the bow deck of the command ship, staring at the Jinfan fleet ahead with sharp eyes.The last time he failed to attack Gan Ning's Dazhai, Zhou Tai held his breath in his heart, thinking about revenge all the time.When Wang Lei went to Qu'e, he sent people to investigate Wang Lei's news. When he got the news that Gan Ning was carrying Wang Lei back, Zhou Tai planned to take revenge on the river.

Jiang Qin stood aside and said, "Youping, are you sure about this battle?"

Zhou Tai said: "We must win!"

But Jiang Qin didn't know the bottom line. The Nine-Jiang-Tie and the Jinfan-Tie are the two strongest forces on the water, and they can be called the two overlords on the river.The strength of the two sides is about the same. If one side wants to destroy the other side, it will have to pay a huge price, and may even fail. The outcome is between five and five.Zhou Tai led the army to fight, Jiang Qin tried to persuade him, but Zhou Tai refused to listen.

The failure last time made Zhou Tai's heart full of anger.

Even though Wang Lei is Jizhou Shepherd, in Zhou Tai's eyes, when he is on the river, whether he is the State Shepherd or the Emperor, it all depends on his face.Besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Wang Lei is from Jizhou, so it is difficult to meddle in the affairs of the Yangtze River. Interfering in the affairs between him and Gan Ning is unforgivable.As the distance got closer, Zhou Tai became more and more excited.

"Send the order, speed up and hit it!"

With a cold face, Zhou Tai waved his hand and ordered his brothers to act.
