The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 37 Ding Feng and Wei Yan

Although Zhang Wu in the back is not good at water battles, he is not Xiaobai. As Jiang Xia's general, he has never eaten pork and seen pigs running. Naturally, he can see the intentions of Jiangdong Army. Anyway, this battle has already shown his own strength. As far as the strength is concerned, the opponent can also have a step down, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and at the same time sent a team to meet Gan Ning.

If the Jiangdong Army still refuses to give up, or if Zhou Yu sends troops to join the battle again, then Zhang Wuke will tie Han Dangti to the warship and start a war with Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu also knew that this battle was over, and it would not end well if the fight continued, so he also ordered Xu Sheng and Ling Tong to withdraw, still feeling a little sighed and regretted.

I didn't expect that Jiang Dong deliberately killed Huang Zu, but in the end it took advantage of Zhang Wu, an unknown person who borrowed from him before, and he didn't expect this "Jinfan thief" Gan Ning to have such abilities, what a pity!
Zhou Yu regretted that Gan Ning's talents could not be used by Jiangdong, and regretted not taking Jiangxia or annihilating Jiangxia's navy when Huang Zu was alive.

Brother Bo Fu left too early!If Sun Ce had not died, perhaps Jiang Xia would have captured it long ago.

Seeing the Jiangdong navy retreating slowly, Zhang Wu cursed in his heart: Shameless!Relying on the large number of soldiers, there is no one in Jiangxia who bullies me. Unfortunately, I am indeed short of talents. Although Gan Ning is brave, there is only one person after all, and there are too many famous navy generals in Jiangdong!
"Xingba has worked hard, I will celebrate for you tonight!" Looking at Gan Ning covered in blood, Zhang Wu said.

"Hahahaha..., what a joy to kill, Jiangdong Zhoulang is nothing more than that!"

That's because Zhou Yu didn't dare to let go of the fight, Zhang Wu said in his heart, of course he couldn't say this out loud.

"By the way, Xingba, although you are brave, you are only one person after all. If a big war breaks out, you may be at your wits end. Do you know anyone who is familiar with water warfare?"

Gan Ning thought for a while and said: "Nowadays, most of the people who are familiar with water warfare are in the Jiangdong Navy and hold important positions. I'm afraid I can't find them in Jingzhou. However, when I was wandering around the rivers and lakes, I met a young man named Lujiang. Ding Feng, although he was born as a commoner and illiterate, he is quite proficient in water warfare and very brave, why don't I recruit him?"

Ding Feng?This is a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms, a famous general and powerful minister of Wu State. He later took charge of the military power of Wu State and defeated the Wei army many times.Although this man was born a commoner, he was brave and resourceful.

Zhang Wu remembered that when he watched the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Ding Feng lived to a very old age before he died.In this chaotic world where wars are often fought, if a general leading an army can live for so long, he must be capable.

"Okay, quickly recruit this person, if he is really capable, I will reuse him!" Zhang Wu said excitedly.

Gan Ning arranged for an old brother who had seen Ding Feng to bring his own bell to find Ding Feng, then withdrew his troops and returned to the village. After arranging the military affairs, he returned to Jiangxia City with Zhang Wu.

After Liu Qi came to Jiangxia City, he felt that his life was much more comfortable than when he was in Xiangyang.In the past, under the eyes of my father, I had to always pay attention to my words and deeds to avoid being sued by some people with ulterior motives, and I did not dare to indulge in indulgence.

Now far away from his father, far away from Cai Mao's annoying people, and being the highest officer of a county, Liu Qi began to enjoy it, singing, dancing and drinking every day, talking with beautiful women and playing games every night, it was really refreshing.

Although Zhang Wu firmly controlled the military power in Jiangxia, he did not completely ignore Liu Qi. Some trivial government affairs were still handed over to the civilian officials and reported to Liu Qi for handling.Anyway, with Mi Heng watching, there won't be any trouble, and all the officials in Jiangxia County have been sorted out, and most of them are his people.

In this way, Liu Qi had work to do without being too tired. He was very satisfied, and gradually became addicted to drinking and sex.

In fact, Liu Qi was originally a person who pursued enjoyment and had no ambitions.In the original book, after the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su came to ask Liu Bei to take Jingzhou back. Zhuge Liang said: "As the saying goes: everything must return to the Lord. The nine counties of Jingxiang are not the land of Soochow, but Liu Jingsheng's foundation. My master Liu Bei is Liu Jingsheng's younger brother, and even though Liu Jingsheng is dead, his son Liu Qi is still alive, so what's wrong with taking Jingzhou as an uncle and nephew?"

This makes sense. Jingzhou was originally owned by Liu Biao. Although Liu Biao is gone, he has a son. Why do you want Soochow to take away his inheritance?So after seeing Liu Qi, Lu Su had nothing to say, but after Liu Qi left, Lu Su asked, "What if Liu Qi is gone?"

Why did Lu Su say that?Why did Liu Qi ask such a question at such a young age?It turned out that Lu Su saw that although Liu Qi was young, he was too addicted to wine and sex, and was seriously ill. He looked thin, had asthma and vomited blood, and would not live for more than half a year.

Zhuge Liang said: "When the eldest son is here, we will guard Jingzhou for one day. If the eldest son is no longer here, we will discuss it again."

Lu Su said again: "If the young master Liu Qi is gone, Jingzhou must be returned to Soochow."

Kongming replied: "Just do what Zijing said!"

Therefore, no matter Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, they are actually unwilling to let Liu Qi die, because as long as Liu Qi is around for a day, they can justifiably occupy Jingzhou.Liu Qi didn't have great ambitions or skills, he didn't have any confidants, and he didn't hold power. He couldn't threaten Liu Bei at all. What reason did Liu Bei have to kill him?
Sure enough, half a year later, the eldest son Liu Qi died of illness, and Lu Su came to beg for Jingzhou in the name of mourning, but Zhuge Liang tricked him back.

Although Liu Bei had always occupied Jingzhou, he also completely annoyed Sun Quan, which made Sun Quan see clearly that Zhuge Liang was really unwilling to return Jingzhou and made up his mind to seize Jingzhou by force, laying the foundation for Guan Yu's defeat.

Why did Soochow insist on capturing Jingzhou?It is because Jingzhou is too important to Soochow. As long as Jingzhou is occupied, Soochow will be invincible.

After the Battle of Chibi, Xiangyang was occupied by Cao Cao, Jiangling was occupied by Liu Bei, and Soochow only occupied Nanjun and one-third of Jiangxia. Of course, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were not at ease.

On this day, Zhang Wu came to the prefect's mansion to find Liu Qi.

"I pay my respects to the prefect." Zhang Wu saluted, he still had to do something out of face.

"General Zhang is waiving the courtesy, what's the matter here?"

"At the end of the day, I want to ask the prefect for help."

"Oh? General Zhang just said, as long as I can do it, then it's fine." Of course, if it really can't be done, then forget it, Liu Qi can't think of what he can do to help Zhang Wu.

"Jiangxia and Jiangdong have been fighting for years, and their soldiers have suffered serious losses. Especially in the battle not long ago, not only did the old governor Huang lose his life at the hands of Jiangdong, but also many generals and colonels in the army were lost. Soldiers are easy to recruit, but now the grassroots generals in the army There is a serious shortage, so I would like to ask the prefect to send a letter to the Zhennan General's Mansion and ask Xiangyang to transfer some junior officers. There is a city gate captain named Wei Yan, and I also ask the prefect to think of a way to transfer him. "
