villain

Chapter 453
On Hutou Mountain, Hu Zhao had a cold expression and serious eyes.

In just a short period of time, he seemed to have aged a lot, and his temples had sprouted gorgeous hair.However, no one dared to underestimate this frail-looking middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old.In the military tent, a group of people knelt down, each of them disheveled and haggard.

Shamoko is on the way!

But Wuling Mountain is not peaceful.

As the army left, all parties were ready to move.Especially after Shamoke defeated Yishui, Wuximan also showed some uncoordinated movements.

At that time, Shamoke unified all the sects of the Wuxi Man in one fell swoop by virtue of his mighty force.

On the surface, these people seem to be admiring.But in fact, Hu Zhao knew very well that the various sect commanders also had ulterior motives.

Therefore, on the third day after Shamoke sent troops, Hu Zhao sent a signal to Zhou Xin for help.

And Zhou Xin was also very careful, sending troops from Wuling was too conspicuous.So he ordered Youyang to order Zhou Zhi to try to send troops to help.

This week Xin Zhouzhi has friendship with Dong Pi.

Zhou Zhi, in particular, was full of praise for Dong Pi.After getting the news, he immediately ordered his son Zhou Bin to lead 2000 people to sneak into Hutoushan.

As soon as the Zongshuai of the various ministries made a move, Hu Zhao quickly split up with Zhou Binbing and took down the eighteen Zongshuai.At this moment, the eighteen Zongshuai were kneeling in the military tent, looking at Hu Zhao in fear, not even daring to breathe.

"You Ping thinks, how should we deal with these people?"

Zhou Bin was about thirty years old, and he had a son named Zhou Dory, who had just turned one year old.Fair skin, always with a kind smile on his face.It seems to give people a feeling that humans and animals are harmless, but in reality?Zhou Bin is so ruthless that even Samoko can't compare.

When Zhou Zhi served as Youyang Commander, Zhou Bin commanded the military.

Speaking of which, Zhou Zhi is a bit cowardly, not a tough master.But Youyang County is remote, and there are many bandits and bandits, who often harass Youyang.After Zhou Bin took charge of the army, he led soldiers from [-] counties, broke through thirteen villages in a row, and wiped out several powerful bandits.

To say that he was ruthless was because Zhou Bin didn't kill the thirteen bandit leaders immediately after they were captured.

Instead, he established the "skinning method" independently, skinning the thirteen bandits and hanging them on the road outside Youyang City. The bloody corpses were daunting.So much so that the bandits and bandits around knew that there was a skinning county lieutenant in Youyang County, so they fled one after another, not daring to offend Youyang lightly.Therefore, Zhou Bin was called "Zhou Papi" by the local people, and his reputation was so fierce that even Zhou Xin, the prefect of Wuling, heard of it.

Zhou Xin said with a smile: "Old Zhou has been an honest person all his life. I'm afraid that his reputation will be ruined because of this. However, in troubled times, severe punishment should be imposed, and what Youping did is reasonable. It's so good, at least Youyang one Land, live up to the bandits and bandits, and return the Qingping of one side, which is very good."

Therefore, when Hu Zhao asked Zhou Bin, the general Zongshuai was frightened.

"Lord Hu, if we are not under the rule of Youyang, even if we are to be dealt with, it should be Rusha's decision."

Before the words were finished, Zhou Bin got up, and lashed Zong Shuai's face with a whip, his skin was ripped apart, and blood gushed like a spring.

"When I need your words, I will let you speak. You can't wait for a prisoner, so what right do you have to make a loud noise here? Do you want to suffer?"

One sentence made Zong Shuai shut up immediately.

When Zhou Bin spoke, he was still smiling.But in the eyes of everyone, that smile was so terrifying.

Hu Zhao sneered and said: "You are not handsome, but you dare to speak rudely and call the king by his name... Hehe, just this is a capital offense. The king treats you well, and even assigns officials to you. If you don't think about paying back, that's all. , but gave birth to a rebellious heart. Don't think that I don't know what you are doing. Today, the emperor will order Zhao to be the head of Wuxi, how can you hide what you are doing from my eyes?"

Zhou Bin laughed and said, "This outrageous act should be stripped to show the public!"

The Zongshuai shuddered Lingling, and their eyes widened in horror: This smiling tiger really deserves the nickname of that week's pickpocketing.

"It should be like this... please worry about it, Youping!"

"How can you bother to talk about the affairs of the guests?"

These two people spoke to each other, but they fulfilled the fate of the eighteen Zongshuai.

The marshals shouted sadly: "You are a Han citizen, not a member of our clan. What right do you have to deal with us? We want to see the king, we want to see the king!"

Zhou Bin yelled, "Drag me out!"

Already there were fierce soldiers waiting outside the door, upon hearing this, they immediately broke into the big tent and left with eighteen Zongshuai behind them.

Not a moment later, there was a shrill scream from outside. The sound was like killing a pig, with the despair before dying.

Zhou Bin seemed to have never heard of it, and said softly: "Master Hu, you said the third master..."

Hu Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, "Whether Gan Xingba and the others can get out of danger depends on whether they can arrive in time. I don't worry about anything else. If Gan Ning rescues the third master, how should he go? Mei Cheng surrendered, and the retreat route has been locked Live. There are only waterways, and there are many dangers. If even Gan Xingba is folded there, in the future, you and I... I am afraid that we will have no face to go back to Chang'an and meet the governor."

Zhou Bin's smile also disappeared...

******
In front of Changbanpo, Gan Ning led a hundred soldiers and rushed out suddenly.

Although he had never met Gan Ning, Shamoke heard Gan Ning's name clearly, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed, waving the steel whip in his hand, becoming extraordinarily fierce.As for the scattered soldiers, many of them came out of the chaos and joined Shamoko.Sha Moke led the remnants of the troops, whipped left and right with spears, forced a bloody path, and merged with the oncoming Gan Ning's troops.

"Third Master, Ning received a handwritten letter from Mr. Hu, ordering me to come to help...Gan Ning is late, please forgive me."

Gan Ning has been wandering outside for a long time, but he understands the ways of the world.Although it was said that Sha Moke had suffered a disastrous defeat, he did not dare to make a domineering gesture.In the handwritten letter, it was clear that he was asking for help from Samoko, but from Gan Ning's mouth, the taste was different.

There is only one word difference between support and rescue, but the meaning is very different.

Shamoke smiled wryly, "General, don't be too polite. If you come one step later, Shamoke will die. I have little left in my army, so I ask the general to issue orders. From Shamoke onwards, everyone must follow the general's order. What should I do, I ask the general to make a decision early."

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

Gan Ning spoke politely, and Sha Moke naturally showed his attitude.

In these words, it has already been shown that he will follow Gan Ning as the leader.After hearing this, Gan Ning immediately felt relieved.

To tell the truth, Gan Ning was still worried just now, who should take the lead after being united with Samo Ke Bing?Well now, everything is simple!

Gan Ning said: "Third Master, Ning is not welcome... My ship landed at Zhangshan (southeast of Jingmen City, Hubei Province today). There are four buildings and more than a hundred boats. General Su Fei gathered inside. Guardian, please follow Ning to kill the bloodshed immediately, and you will be free from worries after boarding the ship."

"So, according to the general!"

After Duan Zai's exchange, the two immediately joined forces and headed towards the southeast.

Li Yan never imagined that things had come to this point, and a group of people unexpectedly came out to disrupt the situation.He couldn't help becoming angry, and shouted sharply: "Order the three armies, shoot arrows, shoot arrows... No matter what, these people and Shamoke must be left to me."

bang bang bang...

The sound of clappers sounded hurriedly, and immediately some archers tried to rush forward to encircle them.

But Shamoke and Gan Ning are like two tigers. The hundred healthy soldiers behind them and the remnants of Shamoke also know that if they turn around at this time, the only way to die is to go out. As long as they can break through the encirclement, they can live go down.

Everyone is working hard!

Before the archers were in position, Sha Moke and Gan Ning had already blazed a trail.

At this moment, the two of them are blood-stained robes, as alive as blood men.I can't remember exactly how many people were killed. Anyway, the number of enemies is getting smaller and smaller. In one go, the two of them led a defeated army of less than 400 people, and they found out the encirclement.

Compared with the Changbanpo battle in the Romance, although the current Changbanpo battle is not as tragic as that of the past, it is also extraordinarily terrifying.Li Yan didn't have Cao Cao's million-strong army in his hands. He seized Lankouju, robbed Yidao... Nanjun's troops were also dispersed.

This may be the biggest reason why Gan Ning and Sha Moke were able to escape.

How could Li Yan be willing to let go of the fat that came to his mouth like this?The flag was waved, and 3 horses chased after him, vowing to catch Sha Moke and others.

Gan Ning's pawns were better, but those brought out by Shamoke couldn't keep up.

"My lord, I will wait here to stop the pursuers, please leave quickly... I only hope that my lord can treat my family well."

A Wuxi barbarian suddenly reined in his horse.

Sha Moke looked and recognized this person.To be precise, this person is not a Wuxi barbarian, but a Nanman who migrated from Jianning.

His name was Dong Hetuo, and his family moved to Wuximan ten years ago because of an epidemic in Nanman.

Sha Moke trembled in his heart, but at this moment, he also knew that what Dong Hetuo said was right.If you want to take them all away, you may not be able to escape any of them.

"Brother Hetuo, Sha Moke will remember your kindness today!"

Gan Ning also shouted loudly: "Good man!"

Two hundred Wuxi barbarians stayed behind, following Dong He's entrustment to stop Li Yan's pursuit.Sha Moke and Gan Ning also knew that it was impossible for such people to block Li Yan's troops.If it continues to be hypocritical, I'm afraid it will be a waste of the lives of these good brothers.

Sha Moke ran with Gan Ning with tears in his eyes.

Hu Leibo under his crotch also tried his best, a group of people hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at Neifangju at dawn.

In the distance, the boat was in sight, Gan Ning let out a long breath.

Su Fei led people over, first met with Sha Moke, and then asked them to board the boat immediately.

Sha Moke had just jumped off his horse, but he heard Hulei Xi Yuyu hiss, and fell to the ground with a plop, foaming at the mouth.

"Heizi, Heizi!"

When Dianwei sent Shamoke's Huleipe back then, it was completely black in color, so Shamoke called it "Heizi".After following Sha Moke for several years, this time he traveled repeatedly and encountered robbery and murder frequently.Hu Leibo was already exhausted, and after dragging his master to safety, he finally couldn't stand it anymore!
Falling to the ground, those soft big eyes are still looking at Shamoko, expressing endless attachment.

Sha Moke hugged Heizi's huge head, raised his head to the sky and let out a heart-piercing roar, "Li Yan... Li Thief! I will not stand against you!"

That Heizi kept hugging Shamoke, as if to say: Master, Heizi has finished, let's go!
With blood and tears seeping from the corner of his eyes, Shamoke finally let go of Heizi under the persuasion of Gan Ning and Su Fei, and boarded the building boat step by step.

From afar, he could see Heizi's body bouncing twice, and his eyes slowly closed.

In the distance, smoke billowed, and Li Yan had already followed.

Sha Moke stood at the bow of the boat, watching Li Yan's banner appear on the ferry.At this time, the building boat was about three hundred steps away from the ferry.

Sha Moke suddenly reached out his hand and took out the Xianglong Bao carving bow, bent the bow and set an arrow, and let out a roar.

The specially-made Ghost Crying Arrow, with a shrill hissing sound, was as fast as a meteor and lightning, and hit the flagpole of the big banner.The flagpole with a thick bowl mouth was shot by the ghost crying arrow. With a bang, sawdust flew, and the big flag fell down with a bang.Before Li Yan could react, Shamoke shot the second arrow.In a hurry, Li Yan bowed quickly and fell on the horse's back.

The ghost crying arrow passed over his head, and a general behind him had no time to dodge, hit the throat, and his body was thrown off the horse's back.

"Li Yan, save your dog's life... I remember, before grandpa takes your life, cherish it!"

Samoko's voice came from the river.

Li Yan was about to go crazy at this moment... "Let the arrows, let the arrows... don't leave the thief!"

The crossbowmen fired their bows and arrows, but the boat was gone.Li Yan knew that from now on, he would have another terrifying and fierce enemy!

I wanted to make meritorious deeds, but I never thought that this would be the result.

Li Yan couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.

Shock, fear, mixed with a little bit of regret... If I went to the Western Regions with Huang Han, what would happen now?
******
After firing two arrows in a row, the depression in Sha Moke's heart seemed to be relieved a lot.

Days of running around, coupled with the death of Dong Hetuo and others in the Zhou Dynasty, the defeat of the army, and the death of his beloved horse Heizi, made him exhausted.

Fall down and fall asleep!
Gan Ning originally planned to invite Sha Moke to drink a few jars of fine wine snatched from the Jiangling granary.But now, it is no longer necessary.

After the Chaisang fire, Gan Ning annexed several water thieves along the way.The leader of one of the water thieves was named Deng Dang. After learning that Gan Ning and his party were Dong Bi's subordinates, he defected to Gan Ning without saying a word.When asked why, this Deng Dang was Lu Meng's brother-in-law.

It turned out that Lu Meng had a sister who married Deng Dang in her early years.

This Deng Dang was originally from Jiujiang. He was a bold man and had a lot of money and food in the local area.Unexpectedly, Lu Meng offered Dagu Pass and surrendered Dong Pi.Deng Dang knew that this Jiujiang was Liu Bei's territory, and it was okay for Lv Meng to not be famous in the past, but now that he has surrendered to Dong Pi, Liu Bei will definitely be aware of it.Terrified, he took his wife and family members and escaped by boat.

However, Dong Bi's enemies are everywhere in Jiangnan.

In desperation, Deng Dang simply became a water thief.Moreover, he also recruited a good friend of Kuaiji, named Dong Xi, and the two started a business without money on the river.Now that Gan Ning is building the Jinfan Camp, he is in need of help.The arrival of Deng Dang and Dong Xi gave him a lot of help.

In Jiangling, he snatched two more building ships and dozens of warships, and his strength immediately increased greatly.

Sha Moke fell asleep, but Gan Ning and the others couldn't rest.

This is Hanshui, still under the rule of Jingzhou Liu Biao.If you can't enter Yunmengze as soon as possible, you will definitely encounter Liu Biao's navy.

Therefore, Gan Ning, Su Fei, Deng Dang and Dong Xi discussed together, hoisted the brocade sails, and advanced rapidly.

As long as you enter Yunmengze, relying on the labyrinth-like river channel in Yunmengze is enough to ensure everyone's safety.

Thinking very well...

And at the beginning, the fleet sailed very smoothly.When it was dark, the fleet had already bypassed Jingling and headed straight for Yunmeng Daze.

That night, Shamoke slept deeply and did not wake up all night.

When the sky was about to dawn, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, and Shamoke woke up suddenly.

"What happened?"

Gan Ning specially arranged a small school for Sha Moke. Hearing Sha Moke's shout, he hurried in and said softly, "Third Master, there seems to be an enemy ship blocking the way ahead."

Upon hearing this, Sha Moke hurriedly picked up the steel whip and walked out of the cabin.

The sky is bright, and there is still a layer of fog on the river...

When Gan Ning saw Shamoke come out, he smiled slightly, but didn't speak.

After a bloody battle, Sha Moke knew that Gan Ning's martial arts were slightly behind his, but not too much.Coupled with the grace of saving his life, he also respected Gan Ning.Stepping forward, he said softly: "General Gan, I heard that we have encountered an enemy ship. How is the situation?"

Gan Ning said with a smile: "Don't worry, third master, a mere thief will not be able to block my way!"

As he spoke, he put his fingers in his mouth and let out a sharp whistle.The building boats of Deng Dang and Dong Xi immediately spread out to both sides.

In the middle, only the boats of Gan Ning and Su Fei remained.

"The other party has about seven or eight large ships, and there are about 150 ships. There is fog on the river at the moment, and they dare not act rashly."

"Who is the general?"

Gan Ning scratched his head, "You say it's Huang Zu, but you're afraid of him? On this big river, Gan Ning should also experience the skills of this Jingzhou naval commander."

Sha Moke smiled, "Since that's the case, Sha will wait and watch the general's methods!"

Gan Ning nodded and said nothing more.

After a while, the sun rose and dispelled the fog on the river.Gan Ning suddenly issued an order, and the sails were hoisted on the boat.

Gan Ning hangs his armor obliquely on his body, exposing half of his arms.

Holding a silver chain knife, "Children, meet me..."

This guy didn't intend to avoid it from the very beginning, even though he knew that the opponent's power was stronger than him, it didn't affect his decision at all.

Su Fei and Gan Ning have been friends for many years, seeing Gan Ning playing the banner, they immediately cooperated with each other.

The two big ships were directly ahead, riding the wind and waves, and rushed towards the Jingzhou navy on the opposite side.Dozens of warships are hidden behind the big ships.

Gan Ning was at the bow, holding a shield in one hand and wielding a silver chain knife in the other.

"Speed ​​up, speed up... boys, the Jingzhou Navy is just a group of women, rush over, rush over!"

The soldiers on the ship shouted loudly, and the speed of the ship was getting faster and faster, like a giant beast, it was crazily moving towards the Jingzhou navy.

The Jingzhou water army opened their bows and arrows, but they couldn't stop the advance of the building boats.The warship in front was smashed to pieces by the building boat, which was horrible.

But Gan Ning became even more excited, his eyes were shining brightly.

With a bang, the two ships collided.Without further ado, Gan Ning jumped over.With a shield in one hand and a knife in the other.The Jingzhou navy on board swarmed up, but none of them could stop Gan Ning's footsteps.Su Fei's building boats were covering the outside and knocked over the approaching warships...while the other building boats of the Jingzhou Army wanted to go forward to meet them, but they were caught off guard by Deng Dangdong's sudden attack.

Samoko doesn't understand this water battle at all!

But he could see that Gan Ning was definitely a good player on the water.

More than a hundred healthy soldiers rushed to the boat of the Jingzhou navy and attacked fiercely with their knives.Under the leadership of Gan Ning, the Jingzhou army was killed and fled in embarrassment, diving into the water one after another.

A general, waving a halberd in his hand, tried to stop Gan Ning.

Unexpectedly, Gan Ning let go of the painting halberd, threw away the shield, jumped high, held the silver chain knife with both hands, let out a loud roar, and slashed straight down.

The painting halberd was cut in two...

That officer was also split in half by Gan Ning.

Blood splattered all over him, making Gan Ning look extraordinarily terrifying.As soon as he controlled the boat, Gan Ning widened his eyes and shouted sharply: "Boys, attack, attack... don't let a Jingzhou army go."

……

This may be a water war that should not have happened.

Huang Zu, the governor of the Jingzhou navy, was ordered to rob and kill Gan Ning.Hearing that Nanjun was in danger, he came with a navy to help.

But unexpectedly, they happened to come into contact with Gan Ning's Jinfan Camp.

The two sides fought from mao to noon, and Huang Zu couldn't resist Gan Ning's attack like a madman.

Yes, crazy!
Gan Ning on the water is like a madman.He was not stingy about taking a boat at all, and fought fiercely with the Jingzhou navy again and again.

Huang Zu ordered a retreat after losing two large ships.

Gan Ning saw that Huang Zu was about to run away, how could he let him go?

Put away the silver chain knife, put one foot on the ship's side, bent the bow and set the arrow, and roared: "Huang Zu!"

Huang Zu turned his head and took a look on the boat.But just this one glance cost his life.The sharp arrow pierced through the air and hit Huang Zu's face.

That Huang Zu screamed and fell on the deck.

The people around immediately shook their hands and feet, and shot arrows like crazy, this is how they stopped Gan Ning's dilapidated boat.

The main general...maybe dead!
But the remaining Jingzhou navy was captured by Gan Ning.

In this battle, Gan Ning destroyed two Louchuan, captured three Louchuan, captured more than twenty boats, and shot and killed Huang Zu.

For a moment, Gan Ning Gan's name as a lunatic resounded across the river.

When the Jingzhou navy saw the Jinfan flag, they fled in anticipation of the wind.Although Liu Biao later sent his brother-in-law Cai Mao as the commander of the navy, the morale of the Jingzhou navy has dropped to freezing point.

When the brigade of the Jingzhou Navy arrived, they saw the ignited building boats burning on the river, and the passage had been blocked.

However, Gan Ning and the others have long since disappeared. After they escaped into Yunmeng Daze, they disappeared immediately...

----------------------

Note 1, Deng Dang, who had been away for three days, looked at each other with admiration. When Lu Meng was young, he crossed the Yangtze River south and attached himself to his brother-in-law Deng Dang.At that time, Deng Dang was Sun Ce's general, and he conquered Shanyue several times.Lu Meng was only fifteen or six years old, and he also fought with Deng Dang privately.Later, when Deng Dang found out, he was shocked and could not stop it even if he shouted loudly.After returning from the battle, Deng Dang told Lu's mother about it.Mother Lu was angry and wanted to punish Lu Meng. Lu Meng said: "It is difficult to live in the poor and lowly. If you get rid of mistakes, you will be successful, and you will be rich. If you don't explore the tiger's lair, you will find tiger cubs" ("Three Kingdoms. Wu Shu. Lu Meng Biography")?After Lu's mother heard about it, she "sorrowed and gave up" ("Three Kingdoms. Wu Shu. Lu Meng Biography").This person does not appear in the novel.
