The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269
Yangzhou government office, under Zhongshouchun city in Jiujiang county, came galloping on a fast horse.

Running into the city meant entering the governor's mansion and reporting to Zang Yu, the governor of Yangzhou.

"My lord, Xu Qian, is dead!" The knight reported the news before he could catch his breath.

Zang Yu was originally sitting on the table, but when he heard the words, his expression changed drastically, he stared at the knight with an ugly face, and asked, "How is it possible, what is the situation? Tell me carefully!"

The knight then said: "My lord, Xu Gan led people to ambush Chen Ran, but was shot dead by one of Chen Ran's brave generals."

The knight spoke briefly to clarify the matter, Zang Yu looked gloomy, and said coldly: "How could this be the case, I ordered Xu Qian to lead an ambush, and while we were fighting in the water, I also handed him a large boat, and he was defeated?"

The knight didn't dare to answer, he knew that Zang Yu was extremely angry at the moment.

Concentrating his gaze slightly, Zang Yu murmured to himself in a low voice: "It seems that the governor really underestimated Chen Ran. It seems that His Majesty sent this person to Yangzhou, and it was really not aimless."

The knight paused, looked at Zang Yu in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "Since this is the case, then my lord, what should I do next?"

Zang Yu glanced at him, and replied: "Now that Chen Ran and others have crossed the Huai River, they have never been able to make a surprise attack on the water. Chen Ran and others are naturally even more so on land."

"I have long heard that Chen Ran's army kills the gods and is unparalleled in the world. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I guess it is not bad. People in Yangzhou are good at water warfare. Now wait for the opportunity and don't face it head-on." Zang Yu saw it more clearly this time, and gradually paid more attention to Chen Ran and others.

"Then my lord, are we going to give in like this?" The knight frowned and asked with a look of shock on his face.

Zang Yu shook his head and said: "No, let's bear with him for a while, and then look for opportunities. This Yangzhou is the home of the governor, how can Chen Ran be allowed to act wildly, the governor wants to see, what kind of superpower is this Chen Ran? "

"When Chen Ran arrives, don't belittle and neglect, treat him with courtesy, and then plan for the future." Zang Yu ordered, he knew that Chen Ran and the others would be coming to Shouchun soon, he had to be early prepare for.

The knight cupped his hands and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

……

On the banks of the Huaishui River, Chen Ran and others have already crossed the Huaishui River, and with the help of the building boats, the efficiency of crossing the river has been improved not by a little bit, but by hundreds of people at one time, and even the horses are pulled too much.

It took a lot of effort to deal with this group of thieves, Chen Ran would not let it go easily, although Chen Ran had some guesses in his heart, he still wanted to ask.

Chen Ran found the old man and asked, "Old man, have you ever known this gang of thieves?"

The old man thought for a while, then recalled and said: "If the villain remembers correctly, the leader of the thief seems to be Xu Gan, one of the three thieves in Yangzhou. Five to six thousand people."

"Oh? The Three Thieves of Yangzhou?" Chen Ran asked in confusion.

"No, just as the adults said, there are quite a few thieves in Yangzhou, but the most powerful of them are Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Gan. Among them, Zheng Bao occupies Chaohu Lake and is the leader of Lujiang County. According to rumors , I have tens of thousands of people under my command." The old man was also unambiguous, and just told him all the news he knew.

Chen Ran nodded his head as if suddenly enlightened, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said again: "Has Xu Gan always been around here?"

The old man shook his head and replied: "The Huai River is nearby, and there are many thieves, but Xu Gan is not from the surrounding area. The villain can see this Xu Gan, but he can still see him outside."

Chen Ran understands in his heart, although there are still some relations that he doesn't quite understand, but there is no doubt that Chen Ran has already determined who is playing tricks.

This large ship is not an ordinary ship, it is a large ship under the control of the government, how can this little thief have such a large ship?Needless to say, there must be someone behind to help him, and the purpose of that person is self-evident, that is, to solve Chen Ran.

There is no need to say clearly who benefits Chen Ran the most.Chen Ran shook his head lightly, it seems that someone still chose a dead end for himself.

Chen Ran didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the Lou Chuan again. Chen Ran and the others were going to Shouchun, so naturally it was impossible to go with the Lou Chuan.Although Yangzhou has unobstructed waterways, water is not everywhere!

This building boat is a good thing, Chen Ran naturally takes good care of it, it is impossible to give it up easily.

Chen Ran will definitely form his own naval army in the future, if he doesn't need it now, he might need it in the future.Ever since, Chen Ran looked at the old man.

The surrounding villages were all born in Yangzhou since they were young, so it goes without saying that they are proficient in water. This may be an opportunity, and it will be useful in the future.

Chen Ran couldn't help showing a smile, looked at the old man and said: "Old man, why don't the boat stop here, how about the old man's villagers take care of it together?"

The old man nodded subconsciously at first, then shook his head in panic, and said, "My lord, this is absolutely impossible!"

The old man was a little flustered. After all, he was old and smart, so he naturally knew Chen Ran's plan. If he helped Chen Ran see the boat at this moment, maybe Chen Ran would be recruited from their village in the future.

The old man was terrified, but Chen Ran curled his lips and asked, "Why did the old man refuse? Could it be..."

Chen Ran prolonged his voice on purpose, after saying this sentence, the old man also broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, obviously he was quite afraid of Chen Ran, Chen Ran said loudly: "Could it be that the old man thinks that he can escape the disaster by doing this?"

"When the war starts, there will be no innocent people in the world. If there is a war in Yangzhou, the people of Yangzhou will be reduced to fish and meat, and will be slaughtered." Chen Ran's words were quite blunt, and he was also very frank. He was not talking nonsense.

When it comes to war, who is not the common people who suffer the most?If one becomes a soldier and joins the army, it will be better. Although one has to give up one's name and fight, one is not a fish to be slaughtered.

The old man sighed, he also felt a little helpless, in recent years, there have been more and more thieves in Yangzhou, and life has become more and more uneasy, Chen Ran is right.

The old man could only nod his head and said: "Since it is as the adults say, the villain dare not refuse."

Chen Ran smiled slightly: "It's so good, the elderly don't need to worry, I, Chen Ran, never harm the village, and I don't say much about it. Naturally, it will be witnessed by everyone in the future, so there is no need to say more."

The old man raised his head and looked at Chen Ran, a little surprised, never thought that such a high-ranking person as Chen Ran would say such words to him, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Wanwang lives up to what he said."

Chen Ran laughed and said: "These boats should be taken care of by the old man. If they can be used, they should be used!"
