Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 63

Jiangxia, Xiakou County, Xiaochang Barracks.

A burly man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, dark complexion, and a very conspicuous scar on his cheek was drinking mulled wine in the tent.

Drinking is not allowed in the barracks, but when the captain accused the man, the man pretended not to hear it at all, and only after he moved his hands did he realize that he couldn't beat him at all, so he had to turn a blind eye in the end.

"Xingba, why are you drinking again?" A man outside the tent walked in, sat down beside Gan Ning, and drank with him.

"I see you running outside all the time these days, have you gone out to cut paths again?" Gan Ning asked casually.

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

Shen Mi, who fled from Yizhou to Jingzhou together with Gan Ning, said helplessly: "This is no better than the land of Shu. No one dares to stop you from doing things on the river, and the warships of the Sun family often cross the border. They're all going to be cut."

Jiangxia is Huang Zu's territory, and Huang Zu shot and killed Sun Jian, the founder of the Sun Family Foundation, six years ago, and the two sides became sworn enemies.

Fortunately, the past few years, Sun Ce has been dormant under Yuan Shu's command, but when there is a chance, he will publicize his personal revenge, but the chance is rare.

Now running to the Jiangdong side is not enough, apart from fighting Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and the others, they will run across Jiangxia to make trouble when they find an opportunity.

Even if he didn't have time, let Sun Quan lead the team. If there were too many, he didn't force it. When he met Jiang Xia's army, he would just beat him up.

This caused Shen Mi, who is also a Jinfan thief, to be extremely embarrassed. He had no grievances with the Sun family at all, but he couldn't carry out the business that was implicated.

"Xingba, after all, we are not from Jingxiang, we have no connections, Huang Zu doesn't like us, why don't we get more money and go to a better place when the time comes, how about taking the brothers out to do something big?" Shen Mi is seducing Gan Ning.

"You are not from Jingzhou, but I am. Don't you know that my ancestral home is Nanyang?" Gan Ning replied dully.

"He doesn't keep you cold."

Seeing that Gan Ning was still indifferent, he turned around, "I found a good place. Ruo Rong's caravan would take a few boats of salt to Lujiang River every other month. The waters of Lujiang River don't count. If it’s too far away, the salt is simply a free gift.”

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

"Didn't we rob him when we first arrived in Jiangxia? We said that we were afraid of being robbed and left by land. Why did we go by water again?" Gan Ning finally became interested.

Ruo Rong is a VIP customer in the eyes of the Jinfan thief. Every time he robs his caravan, he gets a lot of rewards, and the accompanying guards are all weak. Shen Mi is right, robbing him is no different from giving him away for nothing. .

"I heard that Lv Bu recruited him a few days ago, but he called him a border refugee. The two had a grudge because of this. Now that Lv Bu has gained power, he is not even allowed to go in business. He can only go by water from Guangling."

Hearing what Shen Mi said, Gan Ning even put down the flagon in his hand, frowning in thought.

Robbing Ruo Rong is just a trivial matter, and he is not afraid of the Sun family. Sun Ce has the title of little bully because he has not met me, Gan Xingba.

The only thing to worry about is Huang Zu, after all he strictly forbids looting.

"Don't think about Xingba, I have already arranged to use our own boat. Brothers don't need to go too much. Two boats with a hundred people are enough."

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

Gan Ning likes fancy clothes, but he is not greedy for money, he just can't see the pain of these old guys who followed him from Yizhou to Jingzhou.

In the past, if they didn't want to go, they didn't force them.

It's different now. There are Sun Jiabing on the Yangtze River. If you don't go by yourself, the group of people under your hands will not have enough confidence.

Gan Ning stood up supporting the table with both hands, walked to the side of the soldier and stroked the crossed pair of halberds. The ends of the pair of iron halberds were connected by iron chains, forming a seamless body.

"when."

"The first two times were on the 27th. Now it's the middle of the month. It's fast from Jiangxia to Lujiang. Two days are enough. We still have time to prepare." Shen Mi was gearing up, excited.

"The old rule is to use our own boat to let the brothers leave the camp separately." After Gan Ning said in a muffled voice, Shen Mi responded excitedly and ran out.

This kind of action still needs time to prepare. The private boats used are placed on the merchant's ferry, and the sergeants must be selected to leave the barracks slowly.

However, Shen Mi already had experience, so there was no big problem, it just took some time.

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

The rain was so heavy and so urgent, he had never thought of it.

But at this time, like Lu Bu, he was full of gratitude for the rainstorm.

The ground has been soaked into a piece of silt, and deep pits like swamps even appeared in many places.

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

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

It will take time for Zheng Bao to plunder Lv Bu's food road, and it will take time to rectify the Huainan army under the fear of being dominated by cavalry.

"I wish I had a cavalry." He sighed again.

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

Well?
What happened?
Fascinated, he felt the bed vibrate, and jumped up subconsciously, only to realize that it wasn't the bed that shook, it seemed to be the land.

What are you doing, is the earth dragon turning over?

Before Liu Xun could figure out what happened, there were waves of horrified shouts outside the tent, "Hong Liao! Hong Liao is here!"

Hong Liao is here?

Is the Wanshui overflowing?that's troublesome
He just wanted to go out to have a look, but found that his big tent was flooded with water, and the speed seemed to be pouring, reaching his knees in a moment.

Liu Ye poured water into the account, and said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, Lu Jun dug up the upstream dam, and the flood flooded in."

"Move the camp! Quickly move the camp!" Although the rain had subsided a lot, the ground was covered with mud. Lu Bu had no way to sneak attack, and there was still a chance to move the camp.

"Your Majesty, the camp has been flooded, and people can't walk, let alone leave the camp." He felt that Liu Xun didn't seem to realize what happened.

"What should I do?"

Liu Xun walked up to Liu Ye through the water, and said excitedly, "Zi Yang, Zi Yang, is there a good strategy for survival?"

Liu Ye couldn't say anything other than shaking his head dumbly.

The water flooding in from the barracks will not drown people, the lowest point is to reach the thighs, but it is impossible for soldiers to stay in the water for a long time, otherwise people will be soaked to death.

It's not realistic to move the camp. He just went outside for a walk on purpose. If he stepped down casually, he might sink his ankles, making it difficult to walk, let alone move the camp.

"Surrender, Lord Fu"

"No! Maybe, maybe the situation on Lu Bu's side is worse than ours!" Half a bowl of tea ago, he was still hoping to capture Lu Bu's cavalry, and Liu Xun couldn't accept it for a while. .

He came out of the water, went to the soldiers himself, participated in packing up ordnance, and transferring food and grass. Until the early morning, the rain stopped, but he found that the situation did not improve.

There is no scattered water outside the camp, so there are puddles and mud everywhere.

Inside the camp, there is already a vast ocean, and the water level has not continued to rise, but people are too tired after being soaked all night, and there is no place for you to rest. Many sergeants can only barely slow down with their long guns.

In the distance, Lu Bu's banner appeared, and there were not many people who came, all of them infantry, but they didn't approach in a hurry, they just waved their flags and shouted in the distance.

Liu Xun knew that this was implying to himself that they were fine, and the only one who suffered was himself.

Looking at the surrounding soldiers, some of them couldn't keep their eyes open, their upper body hugged the carriage, and their lower body was soaked in the water, squinting; there were also two or three resting back to back.

But the word escape was written on everyone's face.

Powerless to return to heaven.
However, he couldn't make the decision to surrender. This battle of tens of thousands of people lasted only one month, and the number of people killed in the two battles was less than a thousand. Lu Bu didn't even appear on the battlefield. lost?
Liu Xun felt that surrendering in such an absurd way was more humiliating than killing him.

Unwilling to return, but the general situation will not change a little bit because of his personal wishes. The emptiness and fatigue in the eyes of the soldiers told him that even if they are faced with a thousand cavalry, they will choose to disarm without hesitation.

Liu Xun turned around with difficulty, turned his back to Liu Ye, and murmured in a deep voice, "Surrender!"

　Brothers, ask for a wave of follow-up reading, follow-up reading determines the author's recommendation position, hard work for the little hands, don't keep the book, it will usher in a burst of updates soon
