Zhuge was reborn and killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 20: Expedition to Jianghuai

"After Yuan Shu's defeat, many of his generals fled.

Among them, Chen Jian and others went far away between the Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers, taking advantage of the complicated terrain there to hide, plundering the Jianghuai land and gathering strength.

Now tens of thousands of people have gathered, led by Chen Jian, the general under Yuan Shu, and Lei Bu.

Other generals such as Mei Gan, Mei Cheng, Lei Xu and others also have their own merits and are quite powerful."

"With tens of thousands of people, can these people surrender?"

"It would be difficult to directly recruit and surrender. After all, Yuan Shu wanted to join them after his defeat, but was rejected by them and eventually died in a foreign land... These people are originally rogues. If you want to make them surrender, you must Just show enough strength."

"Then Yunchang and Xingba..."

"Lord, don't worry. Although General Guan and General Gan don't have many troops, they are wise and brave generals. There may be problems in dealing with others, but dealing with them... is no problem!"

At this time, in Shaxian Water Village in Jiangxia County, Liu Bei and Zhuge Kongming were talking about Guan Yu and Gan Ning's expedition to Jianghuai in the Chinese army's tent.

It is not difficult to see from his words that Liu Bei is still full of worries.

Kong Ming, on the other hand, was not worried at all. Instead, he asked Liu Bei to prepare a lot of food, grass and baggage, so that when the two generals returned from victory, they could arrange for the troops and their families to enter Jiangxia....

Worried by Liu Bei and Kong Ming, Guan Yu and Gan Ning also took ships and headed towards the Jianghuai River.

Now Jiangxia and Huangzu are facing each other across the river, but the broad Yangtze River has become a buffer zone for both sides. Cao Mengde's men are not good at water warfare and cannot control the Jianghuai River area, giving Guan Yu an opportunity to move unimpeded along the Ganning River. .

In this dispatch, Gan Ning led 700 Jinfan veterans to clear the way for the navy vanguard, while Guan Yu followed behind with 3,000 elite soldiers on a large ship borrowed from Su Fei.

Although the bandits in the Jianghuai River gathered together to plunder, they each had their own territory. For example, those currently stationed in the water village along the Yangtze River are two of the bandits, Mei Cheng and Mei Gan.

Above the river, Gan Ning looked at the Meicheng Water Village in front of him and directly rejected the suggestion of waiting for Guan Yu to arrive from behind.

"Although that bearded man is brave, he is not good at water fighting. What can he do when he comes!

Tell the brothers to wake up and I will rush over to you later!"

"No!"

Gan Ning only had 700 men under his command, but his enemies now numbered at least several thousand...

But in the face of this situation, as long as Gan Ning gives the order, no one will have the slightest objection.

"Kill!" Following Gan Ning's roar, Qibai Jinfan, an old soldier, directly drove dozens of warships of different sizes towards the water battle.

No flags, no signs, just like a bandit.

Under the blue sky and white sun, the group of people were discovered by the soldiers of the water village as soon as they appeared. At the same time, Mei Cheng and Mei Gan also rushed over.

Looking at the "water bandits" rushing toward them, the two people couldn't help but look at each other.

"Good guys, we have always taken the initiative to rob others, but now someone dares to pay attention to us. It is simply a matter of life and death!"

"Now that they are here, don't think about going back."

Meicheng and Mei Gan made their decision just by looking at each other. Following the sound of drums in the water village, the soldiers quickly gathered.

Before Gan Ning could rush into the water stronghold, he saw Mei Cheng and Mei Gan rushing out with their soldiers and horses. Gan Ning couldn't help but laugh at this moment.

"I really don't know how to write the word "death" in a hurry!"

After Gan Ning burst out laughing, he waved his sword in his hand and roared angrily at the Meicheng army.

"Crash into it!"

Gan Ning's ship was small and light, and the two sides engaged in a battle in an instant. Gan Ning fired several arrows and shot down the sails of the first few warships before the battle.

Let them start swirling in the river directly.

Taking advantage of the opponent's unstable footing, Gan Ning's men immediately threw out a few hook locks and hooked several of the opponent's warships, and then quickly climbed up.

Gan Ning took the lead and boarded the enemy's warship first.

Killing several people in a row with the Hengjiang Sword, the crossbowmen on the warships were unable to fight back at all, and the soldiers behind were blocked by their own warships.

In just one stick of incense, Gan Ning had already killed the guard on the first warship, then penetrated the warship and rushed towards the next ship with his men.

The crossbowmen at the back looked at the chaotic river surface and didn't know whether to shoot the arrows in their hands. By the time Mei Cheng and others' orders arrived, Gan Ning had already broken through their first warship defense line.

At this time, Gan Ning fully demonstrated his true nature as a ruthless gangster. He crossed the river with his right hand and chained his left hand with an iron chain. He waved it back and forth, leaving corpses strewn everywhere he passed.

By the time Guan Yu and others arrived at the battlefield by boat, Gan Ning had completely resolved the battle.

The Qibai Jinfan soldiers directly charged at Mei Cheng's main ship. Although they did not kill Mei Cheng, they killed his deputy Mei Gan on the spot.

Mei Cheng, who was so frightened that he couldn't care less about the water village, led his people to evacuate, and then fled in a hurry.

In this battle, only a few dozen of the 700 old soldiers were lost. Gan Ning personally beheaded more than ten generals including Mei Gan, shot nine, captured hundreds of warships, and surrendered thousands... < /p>

When Guan Yu stepped on the ground again, he was also surprised by Gan Ning's fighting power.

"Xingba... heroic!"

This was a rare boast from Guan Yu, and Gan Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Now the water stronghold has been breached, but there are still many enemy invaders. I wonder what we will do next?"

Compared to Gan Ning, who was also a bandit and had a lot of gossip, Guan Yu was really blind in this regard.

"Don't worry, General Guan. A certain family has sent people to inquire about the news. I think there will be results soon.

We had hoped to kill Mei Cheng before, but we thought that there were no traces of the other bandits, so we let him run away, and now he is leading the way for us."

"Okay..." Guan Yu looked at Gan Ning who had everything under control. Although there was no change on his face, he already had some different thoughts in his heart.

Guan has been committed to charging forward these years. Could it be that he really took the wrong path?

At first, Kong Ming said that Guan had the appearance of a famous general. After returning this time... maybe he can take a look at the art of war.

Guan Yu hid these thoughts in his heart at this time. After the thousands of elites under his command had recovered for a long time, Gan Ning's scouts also brought news about other bandits.

"The thieves are now hiding on Tianzhu Mountain. The roads there are difficult to travel. How does General Guan feel?"

Guan Yu looked at Gan Ning with a smile on his face and knew in his heart that this was not a real inquiry.

"Why do Xingba need to ask more questions? This road is difficult and we can't use it. Is it possible that the bandit can use it?

No need to say more, you and I can just charge forward with our elite troops!"

At this moment, Guan Yunchang felt that he should let this guy see his bravery.
