Chapter 782
Hearing Zhao Pu mention Xie An, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed with melancholy, and he sighed, "Xie An and Liu Bian are still related. He told me that he didn't want to be an official. I thought it was an excuse, but I didn't expect that what he said was Really, he has been teaching and educating people in Wudang Academy all these years, he is really noble.

But this person is very famous in Dahan Shilin, if I force him to work for me, I'm afraid it will be bad for my reputation! "

Zhao Pu chuckled, and said, "My lord is already at odds with Liu Bian. Now the big man has more than three levels of officials, all of whom are exported by Wudang Academy. And Wudang Academy is supported by Xie An alone. If my lord can get Xie An, it will be equal to He destroyed the Wudang Academy. If he doesn’t want to become an official, the lord can also build an academy under the rule to attract talents and train talents to serve the lord.”

"You know the relationship between him and Liu Bian. How could he come here? If I force it, my reputation will be damaged." Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and sighed.

"Master, you can do this..." Zhao Pu whispered into Zhao Kuangyin's ear.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes lit up, he called Cao Ren and Cao Bin, and also whispered something in his ear, Cao Ren and Cao Bin cupped their hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely bring Xie Master."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, and said: "Well, you can quickly send troops to retrieve the warship. If Xie An really doesn't want to come, you can't force it."

Xie An's reputation in Shilin is too great now, countless virtuous and respected writers went to discuss knowledge with Xie An, they are all ashamed.His students are also talented and talented.His reputation is comparable to that of Confucius in the present, so even if Zhao Kuangyin wanted to get Xie An's support, he only dared to use a soft policy and dared not force him.

"Farewell, the last general!" Cao Ren and Cao Bin led [-] troops and rushed up the river to Wudang.

A day later, the army arrived in Wudang. From a distance, the lake under Wudang Mountain was in full swing, and countless boats were parked on the lake.

Xie An was extremely smart, he knew that there were too many warships at the moment, Zhao Kuangyin would only take what he needed, how could the other warships be left to Liu Bian?It will definitely burn.

Therefore, he used real civilian men to drive the boat, transported the boat to the depths of the lake and hid it, while the Han army pretended to be civilian men on the warship, and did not leave.

On the shore of the lake, more than a thousand soldiers and horses commanded the civilian husbands to transport the boats. These thousand soldiers and horses were brought here by Zhang Liao and Qin Yong.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Liu Bian to not know where Xie Xuan's hidden ship is, but at that time the situation was urgent, and Xie Xuan did not send anyone to notify Liu Bian.And whether Zhao Kuangyin attacked Fancheng was just Xie An's guess.

But I'm afraid that here, the Han army will not know the ships hidden by the Han army's own people?Xie An was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would be suspicious, so he asked Zhang Liao to send out thousands of people, pretending to come secretly to transport the ship.

"The Han army has arrived, and they want to hide the boats deep in the lake!" Cao Ren frowned when he saw this situation.

Cao Bin looked away and murmured: "The Han army only has a thousand men, and not many came. It seems that they don't want to make a big show, but just mobilize the people to transport ships, because they are afraid that our army will catch them all when they hide the ships."

The Fancheng Water Village is now in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, and these warships are useless in the hands of Liu Bian.Therefore, it can only be hidden to prevent Zhao Kuangyin from sending troops to fight. "

The scout who followed Cao Ren to guide the way said: "General, let's kill the generals quickly. There were still many warships the day before yesterday, but now half of them are missing, and they are hidden by the Han army."

"It doesn't matter, these warships are enough for our army. As long as our army transports these warships to the water village in Fancheng, we will be safe and invincible." Cao Bin laughed, and urged the horses, and led the army in no hurry. I rushed to Wudang without delay.

As long as the warship is transported to the Shuizhai in Fancheng, Zhao Kuangyin can divide his troops and go south to Nanjun to attack Fancheng and deal with Liu Yu.As for supplies, are you afraid that there will be no supplies when you enter Nanjun?

Fancheng was built by Liu Yu to be extremely strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It only needs [-] soldiers and horses, and it will not be a problem to resist Liu Bian.What Cao Bin said was right, Zhao Kuangyin would be invincible if he got the warship.

"Cao Chun, lead a troop and destroy the Han army on the bank!" Cao Ren ordered.

"No, brothers, come with me!" Cao Ren bowed his hands and led a hundred cavalry and hundreds of infantry to the shore.

In order to reduce casualties, Xie An had already instructed them not to fight, but to flee for their lives if Zhao Jun came.When the captain saw Zhao Jun coming, he quickly ordered: "Zhao Jun is here, let's go back to Xinye to inform His Majesty."

When Cao Chun led his troops to arrive, more than a thousand Han troops on the shore had already dispersed and fled.

Seeing this situation, Cao Ren came to the shore and shouted angrily: "You stop transporting the boat quickly, or I will be rude!"

As he spoke, Cao Chun brandished the long saber and hacked to death several Han soldiers pretending to be civilian husbands.

The Han army pretended to be scared, and quickly stopped the ship, not daring to move rashly.Zhang Liao and Qin Yong were mixed in the crowd, their faces were covered with black ashes, and they were not afraid that Cao Jun would recognize them.

At this time, a group of scholars came from the foot of the mountain, and Xie An was the leader.

Cao Ren and Cao Bin led the army to the foot of the mountain at this time, and when they saw a group of scholars coming, they did not forget that Zhao Kuangyin had told him to take Xie An back.

Cao Bin hurried forward, looked at the group of scholars and said: "You Wudang Academy are so brave, you dare to fight against our army and hide the ships. Anyone who comes, let me take them down!"

This is Zhao Pu's approach. Usually, when two sides confront each other, other than the army, others will not intervene. The fear is that if the opponent wins, they will turn their anger on him.

Now that the Han army is against Zhao Jun, and Wudang Academy is helping the Han army, it is normal for Zhao Jun to turn angry at Wudang Academy.But Wudang Academy is so famous that others dare not touch it, even Zhao Kuangyin dare not touch Wudang Academy easily.But for Xie An's talent, it's okay to make a move.

After all, who asked Wudang Academy to get involved?
A group of soldiers immediately rushed forward, surrounded a group of scholars, and wanted to capture them as they spoke.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"What is Zhao Kuangyin trying to do? He actually made a move against us. Isn't he afraid that no one will rely on him in the future?"

"Hmph, why are you scholars getting involved? Do you know how much trouble this has caused our army? Today I risk being punished by the lord, and I want you to look good. What's wrong with scholars, scholars can be lawless? "Cao Bin snorted coldly, looking at the group of scholars, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

In Cao Bin's words, everything is his own opinion, and has nothing to do with Zhao Kuangyin.

"You can't kill us, Zhao Kuangyin knows, and he won't let you go."

"That's right, you can't touch us!"

Where have the Shushengs seen such a battle before? Seeing the murderous look in Cao Bin's eyes, everyone was very frightened.

"So what about the lord's punishment? I have to teach you a lesson today. Come and kill them, and see if they dare to use their status to do anything wrong." Cao Bin ordered with a wave of his hand.

Cao Bin knew Xie An, he did this when he saw Xie An in the crowd, in order to force Xie An.

"Stop!" Xie An naturally knew Cao Bin's intentions, and now he had to stand up.

"So it's Mr. Xie. I haven't recognized him since I haven't seen him for several years!" Cao Bin said with a chuckle, "Master Xie's elder brother is under the lord's command. How can I do anything to Mr. Xie? Someone will let Mr. Xie go. Kill me."

"This matter is directed by Xie, and has nothing to do with them. You let them go, and Xie will let you deal with it!" Xie An didn't bother to talk nonsense with Cao Bin, and said directly.

"Since Mr. Xie said so, I will definitely show off Mr. Xie's face, but you are famous all over the world, how dare I hurt you. But my master misses you very much, so why don't you go to Fancheng to talk about it?" Cao Bin asked with a smile.

"Master, you have to go!"

"It's Master, let them kill us, you can't leave."

Xie An laughed, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, General Cao just invited me to catch up with the past, and I will be back in three or two days."

Seeing what Xie An said, the scholars felt relieved.

Cao Bin talked with Xie An, and Cao Ren took Cao Chun to escort the ship.

"This time we have brought [-] soldiers. If we want to transport the ships needed by our army at one time, I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower. What's more, those Han troops must have gone back to inform Liu Bian. It won't be long before the Han troops come back. But it will be troublesome." Cao Ren looked at the boat in front of him and said helplessly.

"Aren't there so many civilians here? It should be enough for them to follow the ship." Cao Chun suggested.

Cao Ren's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "That's great! Let's transport the ships together with civilian men."

On the warships where the Han army was located, all weapons and armor were hidden.Due to the urgency of the situation, Cao Ren was worried about the source of the army led by Liu Bian, and he had no time to inspect the ships and separated the civilian husbands from the soldiers.

They did not mobilize the civilian husbands to leave the warships where they were. In this way, once the army came to the water village in Fancheng, the Han army could quickly put on their equipment and fight with the Zhao army.

Two hours later, Zhao Jun finished sorting out and took ships that could accommodate [-] soldiers, while the remaining ships were set on fire by Cao Bin.

Fortunately, most of the ships were hidden by Xie An mobilizing civilians, and less than one-tenth of the total number was burned.The loss is not great.

As early as when Zhao Jun came to Wudang, some Han troops rushed to the upper lake to report to Liu Bian.Liu Bian sent scouts, and after Zhao Jun set off to return to Fancheng, he also sent troops upstream to go south.Just waiting for Zhao Jun to rush back to the water village in Fancheng, Zhang Liao Qinyong led his troops to fight out, and when he rushed to support, he would be able to capture the water village and severely injure Zhao Jun.

Time flies, going down the river is much faster than going up the river. That night, Zhao Jun returned to the water village in Fancheng.
