Chapter 105 Happiness goes too fast

Gan Ning carefully flattened this paper roll untied from the pigeon's leg, and then put it in a small wooden box with him, in which more than a dozen such small paper rolls had been stacked.

It's not Gan Ning's mystery. In fact, there are only two words on this roll of paper: it's OK. But the problem is that these two words are written by Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei, that is, the imperial edict. How dare Gan Ning neglect them? Collect it in a precious place.

When I walked down the pass, I happened to meet Wang Ping, the guard of Tongguan. Looking at Gan Ning's footsteps so briskly, Wang Ping also expected something. He smiled and asked, "It seems that General Gan has waited?"

"Except it is!" Gan Ning grinned, and then went out of Tongguan and came to a port by Weishui. Dozens of ships are ready to stop here, and the ships are covered with thick curtains. It's just that after approaching, you can still faintly smell a smell of sulfur.

"Brothers, General Cheng has removed all the chains and reefs in the Yellow River. It's time for our Jingxiang sailors to show their faces. From today on, we will be on guard every day and wait for the south wind to start!" Gan Ning arranged it down. At this time, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer. There is a lot of south wind, so it is possible to leave at any time.

"General, we are going down the stream. Why do we need to rely on the wind!" The sailor said to Huang Bingqi, and Gan Ning smiled and said, "Let's play something fun for Cao Pi this time!" Then Huang Bing, who looked puzzled, didn't mention it.

Maybe it was the outbreak of Gan Ning's character. In the afternoon of that day, there was a strong southeast wind above Weishui. Gan Ning quickly ordered dozens of ships to leave and go downstream. Although the southeast wind is a little hindered, Tongguan is not too far from Mianchi. Gan Ning and dozens of other boats set off in the afternoon, and finally arrived at the upper reaches of Mianchi in the early morning of the next day. In the thin fog at night, Gan Ning could already faintly see the other party's ferry by the Yellow River, as well as the water village and warships. And the other party obviously found them, but Gan Ning's dozens of boats were covered with thick cloth and dressed as a merchant ship, so the other party did not send anyone to fight, but just patted a few small boats to come forward to interrogate.

"Regardless of them, ignite and rush to Cao Jun's water camp!" Gan Ning gave an order, and then dozens of ships caught fire, and then rushed to the enemy's wharf and water village aggressively. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind cheered the fire. The defenders at the ferry suddenly panicked.

At this time, the serial warship has not been fully built, but most of it has been connected. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, Xiahou Mao placed all the connected serial warships on the outer front. Now dozens of fireships have been killed, and the sailors on the serial battleships hurriedly unlocked them, and then divided the ships. But there is no time in a hurry? Before long, the first ship collided, and then collided one after another. With the wind, the fire suddenly spread.

There is not much rain this spring, and the construction of the Yellow River water village is similar to that of the land dry village. There are many wooden structures. In this dry climate, Ganning's fire boat will burn as soon as it is connected. Then the wind, the fire gradually spread from the ferry to the depths of the water village. Cao's soldiers were at a loss. If they were lucky enough to get close to the shore, they could escape a life. If they were unlucky, they were directly burned to death, or jumped into the water and drowned. But in any case, the whole water village is burning.

"Go!" Seeing that the fever was almost over, Gan Ning turned over and jumped down the river and went straight downstream on the boat at the stern of the ship. However, when the Yellow River was stirred by him, the fire suddenly broke out, and the fire burned almost all night.

When the next morning, after dawn, Cheng Wu, who escaped from death, looked at the messy Yellow River water village and didn't say anything for a long time. Last night, he picked up a batch of food and fodder transported from Yecheng overnight, so he was not burned to death by the fire. Xia Hoomao was not so lucky and was directly burned into a roast pig.

"Lord, it's all gone!" An uncle beside him looked at the withered branches that were still white, and he also stammered. Cheng Wu was speechless for a long time. He knew in his heart that it would take at least dozens of days to build such a water village again and then connect the iron cable warship. By that time, his father had long been trapped in Henan.

"There's nothing we can do. We can only inform the general as soon as possible and let him make a decision!" After Cheng Wu recovered, he was still used to finding his immediate boss Cao Hong. However, what he didn't expect was that his boss was also in big trouble this time.

In the north, thousands of miles away, when there were more than a hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass, Zhang Fei and others divided their troops. According to the appointment, Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng went to attack Bingzhou, and Ma Chao and Zhao Yun went to Youzhou.

"Zilong, Meng Qi, pay attention. The Jiangdong navy was ordered to attack Jizhou and Youzhou from the north. Maybe they will meet you. Pay more attention!" Before the division of troops, Zhang Fei still told him.

"Don't worry, two princes, just me and my brother-in-law are enough to stir up Youzhou upside down!" The horse is very griny. Zhang Fei just nodded. Zhao Feng was silent for a long time, but finally said, "Meng Qi, if possible, you can also solve the Cao army in Sanhan and Liaodong, so as to save more inconvenience later!" But he remembered the stick that was located there in later generations, and he really didn't like it.

"It should be like this!" Ma Chao nodded and then waved his army without mentioning it. Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei collected more than 90,000 cavalry infantry on their side and went to Yanmen Pass.

On the way, Zhang Fei also briefly introduced Tian Yu. As in history, Tian Yu also worked with Liu Bei for a period of time under the account of Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou. Liu Bei appreciated this person's talent. By mistake, although Tian Yu did not leave the north later, the master changed several people. From Liu Yu to Gongsun Zan, and then to Yuan Shao, he later became Cao Jian. Now that time has passed, almost 30 years have passed. Although Zhang Fei is a nervous person, he can't help but feel excited when he sees his old friend again now.

"Actually, I should be asked to go to Youzhou, and I don't know where my hometown in Zhuo County is. How is my field and orchard!" Since Ma Chao and Zhao Yun left, Zhang Fei has been nagging from time to time. I don't know if I'm talking or asking someone.

"Three generals, since you can't let go of your mind like this, why don't you wait until the war subsided, just like the lord asked you to go back and have a look?" Zhao Feng saw that he was a little out of his mind and quickly comforted him. The war is approaching, and it is not a good thing that the Lord will be so excited.

"Ha ha, I hope so!" Zhang Fei smiled indifferently, and then said something that made Zhao Feng look at him with new eyes: "There are many unsatisfactory things in life. When I was young, I thought about how to make a name for myself and make contributions. Now that I have made such a reputation, I feel that hunting and drinking was the fastest day at that time. People, I'm really not sure! However, Zhang Fei took a meaningful look at Zhao Feng, and finally said, "If I expected it well, you won't fight again after this battle, right?"

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was a little unprepared by Zhang Fei's words, but after reacting, he just smiled. It seems that his surname is indeed recognized by people, and even Zhang Fei has seen something. It's just that I really want to retire like this. The murder and arson the day before yesterday also seemed to have awakened some restless things in my body.

The two of them had their own thoughts, but their feet were not slow at all. After a while, they finally came to Yanmen. Yanmen Pass is an important pass in the north of the Han Dynasty, and the state is used to resist the Xiongnu and other aliens. Even if Cao Pi used troops in the south, Yanmenguan still arranged 30,000 troops to guard. And the whole Bingzhou is only more than 40,000 defenders, and the rest are basically in Jinyang.

At this time, the Yanmen was closed, and Tian Yu was still doing the final ideological struggle. What he held in his hand was a handwritten letter from Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty. In the letter, Liu Bei and he not only talked about the past, but also talked about major events in the world, and finally advised him to surrender.

Tian Yu remembers that when he first started his career, Liu Bei was one of the few people who was more optimistic about himself. Later, he went to Xuzhou and sent people to lobby him to work in Xuzhou several times. But I didn't agree because my mother was old and needed to be taken care of. I didn't want to wait until later, when my mother passed away, I transferred to Yuan Shao, and I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility to guard northern Xinjiang. It's been so wrong. For decades, I have been passing by Liu Bei.

Tian Yu knew that Liu Bei was not an idle person, but he didn't expect that he had become the largest prince in the world until now, and inherited the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and was about to unify the world. What's more, he didn't expect that he thought he would not meet him on the battlefield, but now Zhang Fei ran over by himself. He really couldn't hide. Thinking of this, Tian Yu also sighed, handed the letter in his hand to Yan Rou, and then said bitterly, "General Yan, what do you think of this?"

Yan Rou and Liu Guanzhang are also old friends. He has a fresh and humble blood. He has always respected heroes and admired Liu Bei in those years. Now after reading this letter, Yan Rou didn't think about it for too long and said directly, "I think we'd better not be enemies with your majesty!" If he said that his position changed much faster than Tian Yu, he directly called His Majesty Liu Bei.

When Tian Yu heard this, he looked at the defenders behind him. These people were basically the border troops who had followed him for many years. Although it is duty-bound to defend the country, the perception of the court is not too strong. Cao Wei sent them to guard the frontier for this reason. Now Zhuge Liang's trick is indeed above seven inches.

Next time, Tian Yu led 30,000 defenders and switched to surrender to Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng. Zhang Fei has always valued a gentleman over a villain. He Tianyu was originally an old friend, and his surrender was naturally easy to treat each other. In addition, Zhao Feng was also approachable. Not long after Tian Yu surrendered, the little burden in his heart was gone.

Liu Bei had already said that once Tian Yu surrendered, he was awarded the title of General of Pingbei. In addition, Zhang Fei also expressed that Yan Rou was the General of Anbei. Yan Rou led his old troops to garrison Yanmen Pass, but Tian Yu entered the hinterland of Bingzhou with the army. Many of the generals in Bingzhou had his old friends. He took Tian Yu to persuade him to surrender, which was better than 100,000 elite soldiers.

After counting, news also came from the east. After Ma Chao and Zhao Yun entered Youzhou, the empty hinterland of Youzhou suddenly could not resist the division of 50,000 tigers and wolves. Zhenbei Zhonglang had no choice but to surrender and was allowed. The two of them joined hands together and then came to the south. Only Ma Dai remembered that Zhao Feng said that he wanted him to go to Ping Liaodong and Sanhan, so after the surrender of the defenders everywhere, he led 10,000 horses to Sanhan.

Later, Ma Chao regretted this matter very much, and often sighed that if he had gone at the beginning, he could have been a prince. It's just that Ma Chao's little frustration is really a little witchy compared with Cao Pi's news that the Yellow River ferry was burned.
