Jiangxia, Xiling.
Huang Zu was the prefect of Jiangxia. Some time ago, Liu Qi left Jiangxia. After Liu Biao died, he submitted to Liu Qi without any resistance and continued to serve as the prefect here.
Liu Qi took away the troops from Jiangxia County. After taking power, he deployed them back. Now Huang Zu is still leading the troops.
However, Huang Zu also received news that Sun Quan seemed to be coming to attack Jiangxia again and was preparing to avenge Sun Jian. At this time, he had concentrated his forces and was preparing to fight up the Yangtze River with great momentum, but he dismissed it.
"Sun Jian died in my hands, how dare you, Sun Quan, come to attack me?"
Huang Zu sneered and said, "Not worth mentioning!"
Despite this, he still asked people to send the military information here to Xiangyang.
No matter who is in power within Xiangyang now, Huang Zu just wants to be the governor of Jiangxia. He has no other requirements for the person in power. Just don't drag him from the position of governor.
The military information was sent back. Not long after, someone came from Xiangyang.
"I've seen Huang Ming Mansion."
The person who came was Jian Yong. When he came to the Xiling Yamen Office, he first saw Huang Zu and bowed to him.
He was not arranged by Liu Qi, but by Liu Bei. Now Liu Qi didn't even know what Sun was going to do.
"It turns out to be Mr. Jane."
Huang Zu met Liu Bei and Jian Yong, and asked, "What are your orders from the envoy?"
Jian Yong said: "The envoy asked me to come to Jiangxia to make suggestions for the Ming government and jointly attack Sun Quan."
"This is best."
Huang Zu said and smiled.
In fact, he was thinking that he didn't need others to make suggestions. In terms of strategy, his confidence was no worse than others.
Besides, isn't it the Jiangdong Sun family?
He was confident that he could kill Sun Jian and then Sun Quan easily.
However, he had no choice but to obey the arrangements made by Xiangyang. No matter whose arrangement it was, since Jian Yong was coming, let him stay!
Huang Zu laughed and said, "With Mr. Jian's help, it will be easy to defeat Sun Quan's son."
Jian Yong said politely: "I don't dare! I just came to take a look. The real battle depends entirely on the Ming Dynasty."
"You're pretty self-aware!" Huang Zu thought disdainfully.
But he didn't show this disdain, he just smiled a little hypocritically.
Jian Yong could see his hypocrisy, and he was equally disdainful. He was thinking that Huang Zu's death is approaching, so he should wait to die!
——
Just when Huang Zu was getting ready and waiting for Sun Quan to arrive.
Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, together with Tai Shici and hundreds of soldiers, took a warship and arrived near Jiangxia. They looked at the navy camp in Jiangxia from a distance, but did not dare to get close. They just came to take a look. What is the situation with the enemy?
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
"Lord."
Zhou Yu said: "According to Liu Bei's plan, it will be easy to kill Huang Zu. It seems there is no need for us to come here. If Huang Zu's people find out, it will be very dangerous."
Sun Quan stood on the deck, looked towards the camp ahead, thought for a long time, and asked: "Gong Jin, do you think Liu Bei will keep his promise?"
Zhou Yu said confidently: "I will definitely do it. To be honest, my lord may not like it. We and Liu Bei are almost the weak ones. Facing a strong man like Cao Cao, only the weak ones join forces. If Liu Bei doesn't join forces with us, he will be dead sooner or later." "
Sun Quan thought for a while and asked, "Where is Liu Zhang?"
Zhou Yu added: "Liu Zhang is different. Relying on the terrain of Sichuan and Sichuan, he can still be stable for many years, and we... are about to face Cao Cao."
This is also true, Sun Quan nodded sadly.
"Besides cooperating with us, what else can Liu Bei do?"
Zhou Yu said: "I can trust him and he will not go back on his word."
Sun Quan said: "Cao Cao has developed too fast."
It's really too fast.
Not long ago, everyone was fighting Yuan Shu together. A few years later, Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao in a single fight. The speed of development was so fast that it was unbelievable.
Zhou Yu said: "Shall we go back?"
"good!"
Sun Quan nodded.
The time we left went by very quickly, so it was time to go back.
Their boat went downstream with the wind and the current, and it was not slow to return.
However, Taishi Ci said: "My lord, there is a ship coming in front to block our way. It looks like Huang Zu's ship."
Hearing this, their expressions changed slightly.
Sun Quan said: "Crash over."
"yes!"
Taishi Ci and others raised their sails.
The ship's speed did not slow down and it impacted directly forward.
No matter what happens to the ship that comes to intercept, just charge and it will be over. In this case, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.
Seeing that it was just a ship, Sun Quan was relieved. As long as he rushed out, Huang Zu's people would not be able to do anything to him.
On that ship, there was a general with feathers on his head and bells on his body. The people along the Yangtze River were familiar with this general and called him the "Jinfan Thief".
During the Three Kingdoms period, the only person who could be called the "Jinfan Thief" was Gan Ning.
"Are you sure it's Sun Quan's warship?"
Gan Ning asked.
A soldier below said: "It looks a lot like our ship, but it's not like this."
Gan Ning laughed loudly and said: "What a good time! I'm worried that I won't have the chance to get to know Sun Quan. That old guy Huang Zu has been leaving me idle and only uses his cronies. Since he refuses to use me, there are many people who are willing to use me. , get closer, I’m going to Jiangdong.”
They used to be water thieves who didn't have many worries or families. They could come and leave whenever they wanted.
When he came to Jiangxia to seek refuge with Huang Zu, he lived a very miserable life. He also made great achievements and saved Huang Zu's life. However, he just couldn't get Huang Zu's attention. He had long wanted to abandon Huang Zu and seek refuge with others. But Never ready.
Now that he heard that the Sun family was going to start a war with Huang Zu, he felt that the opportunity had come.
What a coincidence, I heard the people below came back to report that a warship similar to Jiangdong appeared on the river, so I wanted to take a look.
"General, not good!"
"Their ship is coming too fast. It seems like they are going to sink us and kill us all."
The soldier looked outside and said nervously.
Gan Ning looked out, kicked him, and said, "Why don't you quickly move the boat away and let them pass?"
"yes!"
The soldier had no choice but to take action immediately.
"Lord, they are afraid!"
Taishi Ci smiled.
Sun Quan snorted lightly and continued to drive forward without caring about Huang Zu's people.
"General, they must regard us as enemies."
Gan Ning's subordinates said.
"Follow me."
Gan Ning said loudly: "Let's follow this ship and go to Jiangdong together! That old guy Huang Zu is blind and blind. I want to join Sun Quan's men and lead the troops to fight back and destroy him!"
"yes!"
The soldier responded.
They also changed the direction of the sails and chased Sun Quan's warship smoothly.
"interesting!"
Zhou Yu turned around, looked at Gan Ning's ship, and said, "This ship must belong to Huang Zu's men. He discovered us, but a single ship came out to intercept us. So far, he has not sounded the drum or notified Huang Zu's army." Other warships dare to chase us alone, so they should have some plans."
After all, Gan Ning's performance was a bit abnormal.
