Chapter 016 Make Friends**
(On the first day of the new year, I wish you all the best!)
After hearing this, Liu Cong asked me, "Then how could he command you to block the river and rob?"
"He never directs such things. We have divided our spheres of influence along the river, and everyone works to make a living within his own sphere of influence, without involving each other. Only when major events come, someone will come to convey the leader's order, and we will act according to the order.
.”
“What kind of thing is a big deal?”
"When encountering a large amount of official goods, the leader will issue an order to the brothers of each family to gather together to fight, and the goods stolen will be divided equally by each family. Also, when the officers and soldiers are raiding, the leader will also issue an order to allocate us
Combat mission."
"Oh——," Liu Cong became interested upon hearing this, and then asked: "Aren't you afraid that the officers and soldiers will surround you?"
"Don't be afraid. The officers and soldiers cannot defeat us."
"There are many officers, soldiers, ships, and well-equipped weapons. Why can't we defeat you?"
"The officers and soldiers were in the light and we were in the dark. If we could win, we would fight. If we couldn't win, we would leave. After leaving, we would hide in the reeds of the river branches and pick up small groups of officers and soldiers. In this way, the officers and soldiers would be exhausted by going back and forth.
The officers and soldiers had no choice but to retreat, and we took advantage of the victory to pursue them. Therefore, in the past few years, we have never been defeated by the officers and soldiers. On the contrary, we won every time."
Liu Cong felt very comfortable after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he asked: "I am the naval general of Jingzhou. I don't want your life today. I just have something to entrust you to do. We will meet again when the matter is completed. If the matter cannot be completed, we will meet in the future."
If you are punished for several crimes at the same time, you will definitely be executed without mercy."
Then Ding Baishun grunted and kowtowed: "I am willing to listen to the military master's orders! I am willing to do my best as a dog and horse."
Liu Cong wrote a handwritten letter in the cabin and handed it to Ding Baishun, saying: "I will let you go back now. When you go back, find your leader Gan Ning immediately and give this letter to him. You don't have to do anything else."
Never mind, I will make my own arrangements then."
After hearing this, Ding Baishun hurriedly took the letter, and Liu Cong ordered the soldiers to put him back on his ship. Then he stood on the deck of his cargo ship and watched as Ding Baishun led the people to drive the boat deep into the reeds by the river.
Ding Baishun arrived deep in the reeds, and when he hurriedly opened the letter and read it, he saw that it read: "I have heard about the name of the warrior Gan Xingba for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. I hope that the warrior will come to Jingzhou at the appropriate time to talk about it and express his admiration." The governor of Jingzhou
Liu Cong of the residence would like to invite you here."
Ding Baishun was also new to writing. When he saw the contents of the letter, although Liu Cong did not have an official position in the book, he knew that he was an important person in the governor's Yamen, so he did not dare to neglect and hurried along the river to find Gan Ning to deliver the letter.
Besides, after Liu Cong and Wei Yan let go of the Jinfan thief Ding Baishun, they rushed the boat and stayed at a post station on the shore of Dongting. They spread the sail early the next morning and arrived in Changsha before dark.
On the way, Liu Cong asked about Huang Zhong's archery skills, and Wei Yan praised him, "Old General Huang Zhong's archery skills are truly the best in the world. Since I joined the army, I have never seen anyone with such skill. Wei Yan is also good at shooting."
Those who master the stick think that their archery skills are also good, but only after meeting Old General Huang did they know what superb skills are. Haha, thanks to the guidance of the old general, Wei Yan's archery skills have also improved a lot.
Mr. Liu wants to learn archery, and he has come to Changsha to find the right person. Not only is Huang Zhong's archery unparalleled in the world, but the dancing of the sword in his hand is also unparalleled. Even with thousands of elite soldiers and eight hundred powerful generals, it is difficult to come close to him.
body."
Liu Cong happily said after hearing this: "Then I'll even learn the old general's sword skills."
"Ha! That's not an overnight achievement. Mr. Liu, just take your time and think about learning from Old General Huang. The old general is not only good at martial arts, but also a good character. He is kind and promises to teach you wholeheartedly." At this point, Wei Yan
Then he asked: "If you want to learn swordsmanship, you can go to your second uncle Guan. He is in Xinye and is close to Xiangyang. Why not go to your second uncle? His swordsmanship is on par with that of Old General Huang."
Liu Cong smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "Yes, I will learn from General Huang first, and then I will learn from my second uncle when I get back." As he said this, he said in his heart: "You still don't know my second uncle's temper. One day
In the end, he pulled that old face ten feet long, who dares to talk to him and get scolded?"
After saying this, he arrived outside Changsha City before dark. Wei Yan hurriedly handed over the finances and brought Liu Cong to see the prefect Han Xuan.
Because the son of the governor of Jingzhou came over, Han Xuan held a banquet for Liu Cong in the evening and invited Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to accompany him. During the dinner, he knew that Liu Cong was coming to learn archery from Huang Zhong, so Han Xuan told Huang Zhong: "Huang Zhong
Old General, Mr. Liu has traveled all the way to learn from his master. You have to teach him well, but you can't be conservative. Haha."
Huang Zhong smiled and said: "Ahem, Mr. Liu. In fact, there is nothing mysterious about archery, as long as you practice more, it will be fine."
After the banquet, Han Xuan arranged for Liu Cong to rest for a few days tomorrow: "It's my first time coming to Changsha, so I'll spend a few days touring. Let's take a rest for two days first, and after three days, we will officially learn the art from my master."
On the third day, Liu Cong, accompanied by Wei Yan, had just rushed back to the city from the bank of the Xiangjiang River when he received a handwriting from Liu Biao. The handwriting ordered Liu Cong to return to Xiangyang immediately after receiving the letter without delay. There was something urgent in Xiangyang.
manage.
Liu Cong was very surprised when he saw him. He hurriedly packed his luggage, said goodbye to Han Xuan, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, and hurriedly set off on the road.
Han Xuan sent another lieutenant to lead 20 soldiers to escort him throughout the journey.
It turned out that after hearing what Cai Yunfei said, Mrs. Cai was like an enlightenment. She suddenly became sober and anxious, and thought to herself: "Yes, this is a huge matter. We cannot delay it. We must seize the time to deal with it. Four years later, the old man will
After passing away, eh -? Almost. Looking at his body, it's not bad that he could survive four years. When the old man dies in four years, who can I rely on? Isn't it just for the sake of marrying my niece Cai Yunfei to Liu Cong?
Are you thinking about your own future? Four years, there are still four years before the old man leaves, and Liu Cong has been put in charge of Jingzhou in four years. Can he manage it? Four years is too short, if we don’t seize the time to arrange funeral arrangements,
That’s really not possible.”
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai remembered what Cai Yunfei said - after Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, he arranged for Liu Cong to be the governor of Qingzhou, and restricted his departure to Qingzhou to take up the post on the same day. He also had to bring his stepmother Mrs. Cai and his wife Cai Yunfei with him. As a result, the three women
Halfway through, she was killed by Yu Jin, who was sent by Cao Cao. Thinking of the feeling of the knife being chopped on her neck, Mrs. Cai suddenly felt cold and had goosebumps all over her body. She thought to herself, "I will regret it if I get to that point."
must.
Besides, Cao Cao is not a human being, he is simply the reincarnation of the jackal. What can't he do? Even his father's sworn brother Lu Boshe has been killed, let alone us.
Huh! If I were still young, maybe Cao Cao wouldn't be able to kill me based on my beauty when I was young. But now that I'm in my thirties, I'll be a middle-aged lady by then. How could Cao Cao take a fancy to me?
?You have to kill me.
His niece Cai Fengfei is young, so he can keep it for himself, but Liu Cong and I must be killed! No, I have to think of a way quickly and ask Liu Biao to arrange an official position for Liu Cong, and ask Liu Cong to practice from now on
Lead troops to prepare for the future, no, to prepare for the battle with Cao Cao four years later."
