Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 20: Expedition to Jianghuai
"After Yuan Shu failed back then, most of the generals under his command fled.

Among them, Chen Jian and others went far away between the Jianghuai River and took advantage of the complex terrain to hide, plundering the Jianghuai area and gathering strength.

Now tens of thousands of people have gathered, led by Chen Jian and Lei Bu, the generals under Yuan Shu's command.

Other generals such as Mei Gan, Mei Cheng, Lei Xu and others also have their own merits and are quite powerful. "

"There are tens of thousands of people. Is this group of people likely to surrender?"

"It would be very difficult to recruit directly. After all, Yuan Shu wanted to join them after his defeat, but was rejected by them, and ended up dying in a foreign land. This group of people were originally from bandits. Only if you have enough strength.”

"Then Yunchang and Xingba."

"Lord, don't worry. Although General Guan and General Gan don't have many troops, they are wise and brave generals. There may be problems in dealing with others, but dealing with them is no problem!"

At this time, in the Shaxian Water Village in Jiangxia County, Liu Bei and Zhuge Kongming were talking about Guan Yu and Gan Ning's expedition to Jianghuai in the Chinese army tent.

It is not difficult to see from his words that Liu Bei is still full of worries.

Kong Ming, on the other hand, was not worried at all. Instead, he asked Liu Bei to prepare a lot of food, grass and baggage, so that when the two generals returned from victory, they could arrange for the troops and their families to enter Jiangxia.
Worried by Liu Bei and Kong Ming, Guan Yu and Gan Ning also took boats towards Jianghuai.

Now that Jiang Xia and Huang Zu are facing each other across the river, the vast Yangtze River has become a buffer zone for both sides, and Cao Mengde's poor water warfare has no way to control the Jianghuai River Basin, which has given Gan Ning and Guan Yu a chance to travel unimpeded .

In this dispatch, Gan Ning led [-] Jinfan veterans to clear the way for the navy vanguard, while Guan Yu followed behind with [-] elite soldiers on a large ship borrowed from Su Fei.

Although the Jianghuai bandits gathered together to plunder, they each had their own territory. For example, those currently stationed in the water village along the Yangtze River were two of the bandits, Mei Cheng and Mei Gan.

Above the river, Gan Ning looked at the Meicheng Water Village in front of him and directly rejected the suggestion of waiting for Guan Yu to arrive from behind.

"Although that bearded man is brave, he is not good at water fighting. What can he do when he comes!
Tell the brothers to wake up and I'll rush over to you later! "

"promise!"

Gan Ning has only 700 people under his command, while the enemy now has at least thousands of people.
But in the face of this situation, as long as Gan Ning gave an order, no one would object at all.

"Kill!" Following Gan Ning's roar, Qibai Jinfan, an old soldier, directly drove dozens of warships of different sizes towards the water battle.

No flags, no signs, just like a bandit.

Under the blue sky and white sun, the group of people were discovered by the soldiers of the water village as soon as they appeared. At the same time, Mei Cheng and Mei Gan also rushed over.

Looking at the "water bandits" rushing towards them, the two people couldn't help but look at each other.

"Good guys, we have always taken the initiative to rob others. Now someone dares to pay attention to us. It is simply a reckless act!"

"Now that they are here, don't think about going back."

Mei Cheng and Mei Gan made a decision just by looking at each other. Following the sound of drums beating in the water village, the soldiers quickly gathered.

Before Gan Ning rushed to the water village, he saw Mei Cheng and Mei Gan rush out with soldiers and horses, Gan Ning couldn't help laughing at this moment.

"I really don't know how to write the word "death" in a hurry!"

After Gan Ning laughed out loud, he brandished his saber in his hand and roared at the Meicheng army.

"Crash into it!" Gan Ning's ships were small and light, and the two sides were on the front line in an instant, and Gan Ning even fired several arrows before the battle and shot down the sails of the first few warships.

Let them start spinning directly in the river.

Taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing, Gan Ning's subordinates immediately threw out a few hooks and hooked several warships of the opponent, and then quickly climbed up.

Gan Ning took the lead and boarded the enemy's warship first.

Holding the Hengjiang Sword, they killed several people in a row. The crossbowmen on the warships were unable to fight back at all, and the soldiers behind them were even blocked by their own warships.

In just one stick of incense, Gan Ning had already killed the guard on the first warship, then penetrated the warship and rushed toward the next ship with his men.

The crossbowmen behind looked at the chaotic river surface, not knowing whether to shoot the arrows in their hands. By the time Mei Cheng and others' orders arrived, Gan Ning had already broken through their first line of warship defense.

At this time, Gan Ning fully demonstrated his true nature as a ruthless gangster. His right hand crossed the river, and his left hand was locked with an iron chain. He waved it back and forth, leaving corpses everywhere in his path.

By the time Guan Yu and others arrived at the battlefield by boat, Gan Ning had completely resolved the battle.

The veterans of Qibai Jinfan directly charged at Mei Cheng's main ship. Although they did not kill Mei Cheng, they killed his deputy Mei Gan on the spot.

Mei Cheng was so frightened that he no longer cared about the water village. He led his people to evacuate and then fled in a hurry.

In this battle, only a few dozen of the [-] old soldiers were lost. Gan Ning personally beheaded more than ten generals including Mei Gan, shot nine, captured hundreds of warships, and surrendered thousands more.
When Guan Yu stepped on the ground again, he was also shocked by Gan Ning's fighting power.

"Xingba. Heroic!"

This was a rare boast from Guan Yu, and Gan Ning couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Now the water village has been breached, but there are still many enemies. I don't know what to do next?"

Compared with Gan Ning, who was also a bandit and had a lot of gossip, Guan Yu was indeed a black eye in this regard.

"General Guan, don't worry, someone from a certain family has sent people to inquire about the news, and it seems that there will be results soon.

We had hoped to kill Na Mei Cheng before, but we thought that there was no trace of the other bandits, so we let him run away. Now he is leading the way for us. "

"Okay." Guan Yu looked at Gan Ning who had everything under control. Although there was no change on his face, he already had some different thoughts in his heart.

All these years, Guan has been devoting himself to the front line. Could it be that he really took the wrong path?

At first, Kong Ming said that Guan had the appearance of a famous general. After returning this time, he might be able to take a look at the art of war.

Guan Yu's thoughts were hidden in his heart at this time. After the thousands of elites under his command recovered for a long time, the scouts under Gan Ning also brought news of other bandits.

"The thieves are now hiding on Tianzhu Mountain. The roads there are difficult to travel. How does General Guan feel?"

Guan Yu looked at Gan Ning with a smile on his face and knew in his heart that this was not a real inquiry.

"Why does Xingba need to ask more questions, this road is difficult and I can't use it, so is it possible that the bandit can use it?
Needless to say, you and I can just charge forward with our elite troops! "

At this moment, Guan Yunchang felt that he should let this guy see his bravery.
