Liu Zhang turned his back to Wei Wen and looked quietly at the slowly flowing river. He would not be surprised if Wei Wen did not agree to surrender.
Wei Wen was silent for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Uncle Liu is here to help Jing Xiang. This time Wei is just here to help Uncle Liu. Wei doesn't want to discuss other matters. I hope Uncle Huang will understand."
"Huh~~" Liu Zhang let out a long breath. It was indeed not beyond his expectation. How could a person like Wei Wen be so willing to submit to others?
"In this case, I can only express regret, but I will not forget the meaning of the guard leader's help, and I will repay him in the future."
"Your Majesty, you are welcome."
Liu Zhang looked calm, but Gan Ning looked very troubled and felt it was a pity.
Wei Wen returned to his boat and stood at the bow for a while. Suddenly he lost the interest in admiring the scenery just now. He returned to the cabin and sat down with the water thieves. Each of these water thieves looked fierce.
Sex, they are all elites who survived the long-term water pirate annexation war.
A water thief with a big round face and a sinister face sharpened his broad-backed sword with sand and gravel, licked it a few times with his tongue, looked at the cold light on the knife and said to Wei Wen: "Young Master, have you seen that
Is Liu Zhang dead? How is it? Is it worthy of my brothers’ service?”
After Wei Wen's ancestor Wei Buyi moved to Yue, he integrated into the local tribal culture and formed a pirate gang that also used tribal names. After Wei Wen's father died, the old subordinates who stayed behind all called Wei Wen the Young Master.
Wei Wen didn't seem to hear what Da Yuan Lian said and remained silent. Based on many years of experience as a waiter, Da Yuan Lian knew that Wei Wen heard clearly, and Wei Wen didn't like someone repeating the words in his ear a second time, so he said so
Shut up, hold the sword flat in front of your eyes, and stare at the edge with one eye.
Another muscular man wearing a shirt with bare arms, his chest hair protruding from the clothes, holding half a glass thorn in his hand, threw the glass thorn hard to the board of the ship, firmly stuck it on the board, and shouted loudly
road:
"Damn, these Central Plains princes are all hypocritical and disgusting. I am not willing to surrender to any of them, but since the young master has spoken, I have to choose one, so I will choose Liu Zhang.
Not so much nonsense, if you say kill, kill, no ambiguity, if I were to vote for Liu Biao, within three days, my bones would be sore to death."
In fact, Wei Wen's rescue of Gan Ning this time was not accidental. Wei Wen was not so kind and risked offending the Jingzhou army to save the Shu army. A good bandit provokes the official army. Isn't that because he is full?
?
Being a pirate is a risky profession. No matter how fierce you are as a thief, you will never be able to fight against the army in peacetime. The reason why Wei Wen dared to bring pirates to the hinterland was because he had spotted Dong Zhuo coming to Beijing.
The world is in chaos, and the world is in chaos, which is a prosperous opportunity for water thieves to develop.
So as soon as Sun Jian stepped out of Changsha, Wei Wen slipped into Dongting Lake.
Now eight years have passed, and the princes, big and small, have been defeated one after another. It can be predicted that after the confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north, a northern overlord will definitely appear. After the northern overlord emerges, it will either intensify the integration of southern forces, or the northern overlord will directly pacify the world.
No matter what the situation is, it is impossible for water thieves to have such a good living space anymore.
So Wei Wen led the water thieves to save Gan Ning's fleet. This was an opportunity for Wei Wen, an opportunity to transform from a water thieves to an official soldier. The reason why Liu Zhang was chosen was exactly as Tie Laosan said,
It is impossible for a murderer like Wei Wen to seek refuge with a benevolent lord, otherwise, he would either be banished or be imprisoned to death.
All the subordinates unanimously decided to defect to Liu Zhang after deliberation, but with Wei Wen's cautious character, how could he rashly defect to a person? Liu Zhang's reputation was just hearsay, and he had not really contacted him. If he only had the appearance of a butcher,
On the inside, he was indecisive. Or he might be too harsh, and often committed crimes against his subordinates. As long as Liu Zhang made one mistake, Wei Wen would never agree with him.
Wei Wen protected Liu Zhang all the way back to Shu, just to see what kind of person Liu Zhang was.
Wei Wen originally thought that if Liu Zhang could be described as a violent leader, he would be sympathetic to him, but if he was a thug or a violent person, he would abandon him.
However, through the contact with Liu Zhang just now, Wei Wen suddenly couldn't make up his mind. It was completely different from what he thought before. Wei Wen had no idea what Liu Zhang was thinking, or even that Liu Zhang didn't care about his submission.
If Liu Zhang really treats each other with courtesy and is very respectful, Wei Wen may immediately abandon the idea of joining Liu Zhang. It is not that he is too full to find a happy place, but that such a lord is not suitable for him at all. Wei Wen, Wei Wen
Know exactly what kind of master you want.
Maybe Liu Zhang was hiding too deeply, or maybe because Liu Zhang had his back turned to him, Wei Wen couldn't see Liu Zhang's expression clearly, so Wei Wen was a little unpredictable. After returning to the cabin, he couldn't settle his thoughts and kept trying to figure out Liu Zhang.
Every word said.
According to the general trend of the world, it will take at least a few years to reach a stable situation. Wei Wen still has some time to think about it, but what Wei Wen is worried about is that in the end, it will be harder to find a wise master, and I am afraid that he will have to follow Liu Biao's example.
He became a "benevolent king". For Wei Wen, life was worse than death.
After a long time, the fierce water thieves also discussed for a long time. Wei Wen finally raised his head and said: "I decided to follow Liu Zhang for a while and see. If he is not the master of Ming Dynasty, we will go to Jiangdong Sun Ce. If he is,
Do you have any objections to joining the Sichuan Army and offering full loyalty?"
"Whatever the young lord says is whatever he says. I, Yasi, have no objection, but how do we know whether he is the Ming Lord? There must be some rules."
Wei Wen paused and said in a deep voice: "Then let's see how he takes Jingbei."
After Wei Wen finished speaking, all the water thieves nodded. What Wei Wen wanted was not that Liu Zhang must take Jingbei, but that he must at least show the lordly temperament he needed in the battle of Jingbei. Otherwise, even if he defeated Liu Biao and dominated Jingzhou,
Nor is he Wei Wen’s wise master.
The fleet sailed into the waters of Jingzhou and began to see the sentry ships of the Jingzhou Navy one after another, but they were not attacked. I am afraid that Liu Qi's army is still in fear of having their food and grass burned and their way back being cut off.
Jiangling, a large city on the riverside, Liu Zhang saw the towering city walls standing on the ship. The Jingzhou army abandoned the weakly defended Jiangling port and burned everything that could be burned. There was a white ground. Liu Zhang led thousands of Sichuan troops onto the land.
Walking out of the ruins of the port, Jiangling City is located five miles away.
The green grassland for miles around was full of spring. Standing on the river bank, Liu Zhang saw the flag of the Sichuan Army flying on the city. Some sentries and cavalry were wandering sporadically in the wilderness. When they saw the army stepping onto the land, several of them galloped back to Jiangling City.
Then, a large number of troops poured out of the city gate, and the word "Wei" suddenly floated on a large flag.
