Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 420 Yuan Gonglu Takes Xiakou Lightly

The city of Xiakou was in chaos, soldiers were running everywhere, Huang Zu led his men to the ferry, he looked up the river, and saw that the Yangtze River was full of sails, and countless warships had sailed out of the ferry.

Huang Zu was so angry that he trembled, and the hand holding the long sword couldn't help trembling: "Chasing, chasing! Chase me! You must not run away from Liu Bei!"

"Report!"

Suddenly, a scout ran to Huang Zu and said quickly:
"General Qi, Liu Bei's subordinates stormed the city gate, and now Yuan Shu outside the city is about to enter the city!"

Huang Zu's feet were weak, and he almost collapsed on the ground. The soldiers around him hurriedly supported him. At this moment, Huang Zu also panicked.

At this time, there was a loud noise of killing on the river. Su Fei, who was originally stationed in the north of the river, saw Xiakou shouting loudly, so he sent a navy to check and found that the warship was full of unfamiliar faces. Su Fei immediately ordered everyone to stop the boat. However, the people on the boat refused, so the two parties started a scuffle on the river.

Huang Zu outside the ferry rubbed his forehead, and ordered to the soldiers around him:

"Quickly, light the beacon fire, and then signal to Su Fei, let him come to the shore and pick me up on board!"

"promise!"

After Huang Zu's soldiers ran away in response, Huang Zu pointed his long sword at the ferry in front of him and ordered, "Go! No one left by Liu Bei, take back the ferry!"

"kill!"

Huang Zu gave an order, and immediately his soldiers rushed towards the ferry. At this time, most of the people on Liu Bei's side had already boarded the boat, and only the last wave of soldiers were still on the shore. A wave of people can't go away.

On the river, in the face of Su Fei's interception, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others felt that they could not use their strength. On the opposite boat, arrows and stones were raining down. Liu Bei's [-] Jizhou soldiers are all men from the north. At this time, the wind and waves on the river are so strong that the soldiers can't stand firmly on the deck, let alone fight back.

"Ignore the enemy troops who come to intercept, and go down the Yangtze River!"

Following Liu Bei's order, all the warships headed downstream. After seeing the semaphore from Huang Zu on the river bank, Su Fei gave up trying to stop him. A group of remnants joined the boat.

"General, what's going on here?"

Su Fei asked Huang Zu in a daze, at this time Huang Zu was almost out of danger, panting heavily while saying to Su Fei: "Say, it's a long story, cross the river first!"

"it is good!"

Su Fei nodded, and then ordered to sail across the river immediately.

In Xiakou City, Yuan Shu sat in his carriage showing a luxurious air, and he praised several military lords standing beside him: "You guys did a good job, I will write it down, and everyone will be very important later. reward!"

Several military princes looked at each other with joy, and Yuan Shu asked afterward, "Do you know where Liu Bei fled?"

A military marquis said: "My lord, just now when we were robbing the city gate, we heard the sound of fighting on the other side of the ferry in the city. It has always been Liu Bei and Huang Zu who are fighting for the ferry!"

Snapped--

Yuan Shu slammed the shaft of the carriage and said angrily, "Hurry up! Ferry!"

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he saw Di Qing, who was wearing a ghost mask, pulled the reins of his horse, and immediately rushed out. Behind him was a torrent of iron cavalry, which was the ghost army cavalry.

The battle between Liu Bei and Huang Zujun at the ferry is coming to an end. After all, those who can stay here at this time are poor people. Who wants to embarrass whom?
As soon as Di Qing's ghost army arrived, everyone put down their weapons in unison. At this time, the river was empty, and the only few boats were still braving raging fire.

After a while, Yuan Shu came from behind, and when he saw the Yangtze River flowing eastward, he immediately jumped three feet high:

"Is Liu Bei a rabbit?! Can he run like that?!"

"Huang Zu, waste, waste! How could he let Liu Bei steal his boat? If I were him, I would jump into this river!"

Yuan Shu was so angry that he paced back and forth in his car. After a while, he pointed at the rolling Yangtze River and shouted:

"Let's go! Let the whole army go! Cross the river and chase me!"

"If I don't catch up with Liu Bei, I, Yuan Gonglu, swear I won't be a human being!"

"Lord."

Yuan Shu turned his head, only to see that Yan Xiang said to himself hesitantly: "My lord, we don't have warships, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up."

Yuan Shao sneered and said, "Hmph, no warships?! How can I, the fourth and third generation of the Yuan family, be fettered by this little difficulty?!"

"If there is no warship, build it, and if there is no one, catch it! Didn't Sun Ce of Lujiang run away?! Spend a lot of money to find all the craftsmen who can build ships in Huainan. The sky is big, Liu Bei, I think you can go there where!"

Two days later, Yecheng
The news that Yuan Shu made in Xiakou soon spread to Hua Xiong's table, Hua Xiong bowed his head and said to everyone: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect, Yuan Gonglu actually gave me a big gift."

Li Ru said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that Yuan Gonglu is really the lord's lucky general. With him, the lord not only won Yuzhou and Xuzhou without bloodshed, but also Huainan, and now he even dug Jiangxia's Jiangbei half." In this county, it is estimated that Liu Jingsheng has scolded Huang Zu bloody by now."

Tian Feng frowned and said: "My lord, this tall building suddenly rises, the foundation must be stable."

Hua Xiong smiled wryly and said: "What Yuan Hao said is very true. Right now, the Qing, Xu, Yan and Yu prefectures are all newly established, and it is really impossible to fight again in a short time. As for the Huaiyang land, let Yuan Gonglu make trouble first. "

Afterwards, Hua Xiong looked at Zhang Liao and Pang De, who were among the generals, and said, "Wen Yuan, from now on, you will be the governor of Yuzhou and go to Runan to take up the post, so that you will be the prefect of Nanyang and take up the post in Wancheng. I will come from Qingzhou , Xuzhou dispatched 5 soldiers and you two, and your duty is to keep an eye on Liu Biao's movements in Jiangbei."

Zhang Liao and Pound stood up and cupped their hands, "No."

Afterwards, Hua Xiong pondered for a while, called the Jin Yiwei, and ordered: "Order Liu Rengui, Li Bao, and Deng Zilong, and leave Deng Zilong to continue training in the navy in Liaodong. Order Liu Rengui to go to Qingzhou immediately, and Li Bao to go to Xiakou. Recruit troops from the ground and form a navy."

"As ordered!"

As Hua Xiong issued orders one after another, a few more days passed.

In the past few days, the letters from Yizhou Mu Liu Yan have also been sent to the desks of Liu Biao and Liu Yao. Liu Yao did not say anything, and immediately agreed to the matter, and sent an envoy to Jingzhou to meet Liu Biao with a lot of money.

Looking at Liu Yao's long list of gifts, Liu Biao was taken aback. He asked Liu Yao's envoy, "What does Liu Zhengli mean by this? Yangzhou is already so rich in money and silk?"

Liu Yao's envoy showed a bitter smile to Liu Biao: "The state shepherd is joking, isn't this my lord who is in trouble?"

"What's the matter?"

"Recently, the Shanyue people in Yangzhou are making a lot of trouble. My lord can't spare a hand to deal with Sun Ce and Liu Bei. I want to ask Liu Jingzhou to send a partial teacher to relieve my lord's worries."
