Even though he was kicked out of Yiling, Zhang Nan had no complaints.
The moment he left the city, Zhang Nan felt like he had been reborn!
The sweet air outside the city made Zhang Nan realize how wonderful freedom is!
After arriving at the riverside, Zhang Nan felt extremely complicated when he saw the small boat Liu Zhang rewarded him.
Zhang Nan didn't know whether to thank Liu Zhang for still having humanity, or whether to angrily scold Liu Zhang for being inhumane and a beast!
Yiling is nearly four hundred miles away from Jiangling. If we rely on legs, it will take at least ten days and a half.
Liu Zhang did not let Zhang Nan run back, and Zhang Nan was indeed grateful.
But seeing Liu Zhang presenting the broken ship, Zhang Nan couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
So inhuman!
How could the thing in front of me be called a boat? It was so narrow and short!
If the river surface fluctuates even slightly, it will completely overturn!
When Zhang Nan sat on it, both of his legs had to be soaked in the Yangtze River!
If carnivorous fish appear in the river, Zhang Nan will die on the road!
But the boat is too narrow. Without soaking the legs in the water, there is no way to slide the boat, let alone control the gentleness of the boat.
"Damn Liu Zhang, why don't you give me the piece of wood and let me carry it back?"
Feeling the coldness coming from his legs, Zhang Nan cursed angrily while rowing.
The only difference between this boat and a piece of wood is that it does not rotate in the water on its own.
The waters of Yiling are extremely turbulent and the flow speed is very fast. It is easy for such a broken ship to lose control.
Zhang Nan is worthy of being the commander of the navy. He has superb skills in the water and has successfully survived several near-misses.
After leaving the Yiling area, the river began to become calm, and Zhang Nan could lie down on the boat to rest and regain his strength.
The journey from Yiling to Jiangling is all along the river. In theory, even if you don't control the boat, you can eventually reach it.
Unfortunately, theories are just theories after all, and there are still countless hardships waiting for Zhang Nan.
It was night, and the cold wind stung Zhang Nan's nerves all the time.
Faced with the danger of freezing to death, Zhang Nan could only forcefully row the boat.
This not only warms the body, but also speeds up the boat.
An extremely dramatic scene appeared!
On the Yangtze River in the dark and windy sky, a man sat on a few logs, his hands sliding rapidly.
After a night of madness, Zhang Nan finally successfully arrived at the shore of Jiangling at dawn.
Jiangling is a city close to the Yangtze River, less than ten miles away from the shore.
Normally, it won't take long to arrive.
But for the exhausted Zhang Nan, these ten miles were as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Hungry, tired, cold, sleepy.
Various emotions troubled Zhang Nan, making every step he took extremely difficult.
The only thing that kept Zhang Nan from falling was the tall city wall of Jiangling City that vaguely appeared in his eyes.
Every time when he was about to lose his support, Zhang Nan desperately told himself that his career was right in front of him.
In this way, the belief in rising supports Zhang Nan, making him gradually approach the starting point of rising in life.
It is strange to say that on the road from Jiang'an to Jiangling, there was an endless stream of people coming and going.
What's strange today is that Zhang Nan didn't see anyone!
If he fell down on the road, it would be so cold that no one would notice him!
The life and death crisis was also the motivation that kept Zhang Nan from falling.
Just like this, step by step, Zhang Nan finally arrived at the gate of Jiangling City near noon!
Zhang Nan only spent one night on the more than three hundred miles of waterway from Yiling to Jiangling.
But it took Zhang Nan half a day to travel ten miles!
But for Zhang Nan, everything is worth it!
With the news he brought back, Zhang Nan was confident that he could soar into Liu Bei's power.
At this moment, the soldiers at the city gate started pointing at him.
"Look, look, here comes another stinky beggar!"
"In recent days, Jiangling City has become a beggar's den!"
"Forget it, my lord has an order, and no one is allowed to stop it!"
Zhang Nan showed a sneer without any anger.
After all, they are the lowest level soldiers, and he is about to become one of the top generals in this city!
With such a huge identity gap, how could Zhang Nan be allowed to put down his posture and argue with them?
Just like Liu Zhang treated him like a fart!
How could Duke Qin be compared with Zhang Nan, a defeated general?
It's the same today. How can these soldiers be worthy of the wrath of Jingzhou General Zhang Nan?
Even though he was as miserable as a refugee, Zhang Nan still entered the city with his head held high.
As for why he didn't tell the defenders at the city gate his true identity, Zhang Nan had his own plan.
He wants to give Liu Bei a surprise!
But just after entering the city, many people gathered around the notice at the city gate attracted Zhang Nan's attention again.
In situations like this, Liu Bei usually posts like this when he has important decrees.
It happened that Zhang Nan also wanted to see if there had been any changes in Jiangling City recently, so he followed him.
After walking a few steps, a few literate people began to read the contents of the notice aloud.
"Liu Bei, the governor of Nanjun, specifically announced to the people in the city that the cause of Yiling's defeat has been found out. It was all caused by traitors."
"I didn't expect that Liu Shijun was defeated because of a spy..."
"As expected, Commander Liu is so virtuous and Military Advisor Zhuge is so wise, how could he be defeated by Liu Zhang?"
"This damn traitor will destroy our families in Jingzhou!"
Listening to the people's scoldings, Zhang Nan felt very disappointed.
He was not lamenting the people's hatred for the traitor, but lamenting that all the credit had been lost.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei acted so quickly and found out that Xu Shu was a traitor!
If you look at it this way, it is completely meaningless for me to come back and report the situation regardless of my own safety.
Before entering the city, I was thinking about making a great career, but I didn't expect that all my skills would turn out to be a mirror image.
This time did not bring any surprises to Liu Bei, but also brought news that 400,000 people would be exchanged for prisoners.
Thinking of this, Zhang Nan couldn't help but feel fear.
In a rage, would Liu Bei kill himself, the defeated general, alive?
Just when Zhang Nan was thinking wildly, the voices of the people sounded again.
"The spy Zhang Nan leaked the Xiaoting fire plan to Liu Zhang, causing the entire army to be defeated!"
"Now Zhang Nan is missing, but Governor Liu has arrested Zhang Nan's family and will publicly execute them at noon today!"
Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened.
who?
Who is the spy?
At this time, the people's angry curses came again.
"This damn Zhang Nan dared to betray Ambassador Liu!"
"That's right, a traitorous dog like this will never die a happy death!"
"Liu Shijun did a good job. If it were me, I would directly execute Zhang Nan's whole family in Ling Chi!"
"Catch Zhang Nan, chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"
. . .
Now Zhang Nan could no longer remain indifferent.
These constant curses are all directed at him!
Zhang Nan quickly took a few steps back, covering his face even more tightly.
If this group of angry people discovered his identity, why not beat him to death?
Then Zhang Nan would become Xu Shu's scapegoat!
Why, why is this?
Zhang Nan was filled with fear and screamed in his heart.
