The fishing boat was overturned, Zhang Xiu and Liu Xie all fell into the water, the two couldn't swim at all, and after struggling, they were swept away by the river.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

After a while, two heads poked their heads out of the river. These two heads are the two big men who just jumped into the water.

I saw that they were all swimming in the water with their arms around their heads, and the turbulent river had no effect on them at all.

The two people who were tied around their necks were Zhang Xiu and Emperor Liu Xie. It's just that both of them are now unconscious.

A dozen or so tattered ships slowly gathered together. The two big men put Zhang Xiu and Liu Xie on two boats respectively.

The big man who rescued Liu Xie said with some hesitation: "I just heard the guy shouting 'Your Majesty', could it be that young man who is the son of heaven?" ”

The rest of the people were also shocked, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, right? Isn't the Son of Heaven in the hands of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, how could he run to the river? ”

Suddenly, a person exclaimed: "That guy just reported his name and said that his name was Zhang Xiu, what does it have to do with Zhang Ji?" ”

The rest of the people also changed their faces.

If that boy was really the Son of Heaven, they would have committed a serious crime.

Another person said, "I'd better send these two back to the north shore first and hand them over to General Gan." ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they also echoed it.

More than a dozen tattered ships carried the unconscious Changyu and Liu Xie slowly to the north shore.

When the boat arrived on the north shore, everyone worked together to carry Zhang Xiu and Liu Xie to the shore.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, knocked over the two of them like lightning, and then pounced on the unconscious Liu Xie.

The big man who was carrying Liu Xie on his back was kicked to the ground by Zhang Xiu before he could react. Then, Zhang Xiu hurriedly snatched Liu Xie, but his right hand choked the man, and he kicked over the neck of the big man on the ground.

With a fierce light flashing in his eyes, Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "If you don't want him to die, you should stay away from me!" ”

This kind of change happened between the rise and fall of the rabbit, and those who had just disembarked were all a little gloomy.

This group of men is none other than the navy under Gan Ning's command, and they are all Jinfan thieves who used to be with Gan Ning in Ba County.

When Gan Ning led 1,500 cavalry to attack Puzi, he selected 50 sailors who were proficient in water and could ride horses, and sent Puzi with him.

Later, Gan Ning listened to Jia Xu's advice, and after taking Puzi, he led the general Li Meng, as well as most of the Xiliang defenders in Puzi County, to directly attack the rest of the county.

As Chen Xu guessed, wherever Gan Ning went, various county towns heard the wind and fell. They did not experience a single battle at all, and they reached the southernmost part of Hedong County.

Gan Ning was about to lead his troops to continue eastward and conquer the rest of the county, but he received an order from Chen Xu to send troops to Fenglingdu, ready to meet Fan Chou and Zhang Ji at any time, so as to welcome back the Son of Heaven.

On the other hand, Chen Xu asked Lu Bu to lead 5,000 Hun cavalry to Fenglingdu under the stars. and asked Gan Ning to find a way to quickly cross the Yellow River with 5,000 cavalry.

However, the warship is too far away, and it will definitely take a lot of time to transport it to Fenglingdu.

Therefore, Gan Ning sent the fifty sailors under his command to gather ships everywhere.

and ordered the rest of the soldiers to cut down trees in the starry night, and prepare for the construction of large ships for crossing the river with war horses.

Although these small boats could not transport war horses, they could transport knights, grain and grass across the river one after another.

When all the knights have been transported across the river, and the big ships have been built, the horses can be transported. This way, you can save some time.

It was precisely because Ganning had finished the looting that all the boats next to Fenglingdu did not see other boats on the Yellow River.

And the fishing boat that Zhang Xiu was on was the same boat used by the scouts sent by Gan Ning to contact Lu Bu on the south bank.

The scouts deliberately placed the small fishing boats on the steep banks of the river. But he didn't want to, but he was still boarded by Zhang Xiu on the fishing boat.

How did these sailors not recognize the fishing boat? They thought that the scouts who had crossed the river had been killed.

That's why Fang Cai pretended to be a robber and came to surround Zhang Xiu.

said that Zhang Xiu suddenly burst out, took away Emperor Liu Xie, and held a naval army hostage, and the rest of the people were gloomy.

In the past, they bullied others, but they didn't expect that today they capsized in the gutter and were kidnapped by Zhang Xiu.

The person who was kidnapped by Zhang Xiu turned even red, and he glared at the rest of the people and shouted: "Don't take care of me, kill this guy!" ”

Forty or fifty people surrounded Zhang Xiutuan, but no one dared to rush forward.

These people were Jinfan thieves on the Yangtze River back then, and later came from Ba County to defect to Chen Xu together, and the relationship between them was extremely deep.

If it were possible, everyone would never want to see that the big man who was kidnapped by Zhang Xiu died like this.

"Let him go!"

A small leader stepped forward, his voice hoarse.

Zhang Xiu shook his head, which was still a little groggy, and said: "I have no intention of being an enemy of you, as long as you don't trouble me, this person will naturally not be in danger of life." ”

When the little leader heard this, his face was a little hesitant.

He is a practitioner, and through Zhang Xiu, he quickly overturned a few people, snatched the young man, and hijacked the big man for a series of actions. He knew that Zhang Xiu's martial arts were extraordinary.

If you want to forcibly save people, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Taking a deep breath, the little leader said, "As long as you let him go, I'll let you go." ”

The kidnapped man was the one who had just overturned the boat in the water.

When he heard the words of the little leader, he immediately said in a loud voice: "No! The identity of that teenager has not yet been determined, and they must not be let out! ”

"Huh?"

A fierce color flashed in Zhang Xiu's eyes, and his right hand suddenly exerted force, and Dahan suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe. His face was also flushed.

"Your Majesty is the identity of the Son of Heaven, and you must not let these outlaws know!"

Zhang Xiu's heart was full of killing intent.

"Be merciful to the strong man!"

The little leader hurriedly shouted.

Zhang Xiu didn't answer, but secretly adjusted his breathing to recover his physical strength. His eyes were wandering around, looking for weapons to snatch.

When the boat capsized, Zhang Xiu's spear had already fallen into the water, and the sword in his waist was also seized by the people in front of him.

Without weapons, no matter how brave Zhang Xiu is, he is not the opponent of these fifty or so people.

"Now that I'm exhausted, it's not time to turn my face, so I'll be with them first."

The strength on his right hand loosened a little, and the big man who was kidnapped by him looked a lot better. The little leader of the sleeping water army was also relieved when he saw Zhang Xiu's movements.

Rao is big man who was almost strangled to death by Zhang Xiu and was kidnapped, after taking two breaths, he still said sharply: "Don't forget, you don't forget, I came this time to welcome back Your Majesty." ”

"If that young man really deserves to be the son of heaven, how can you ignore the great cause of the lord because I am alone?"

When Zhang Xiu heard the man's words, his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you bandits?" ”

The little leader of the navy hurriedly said: "We are the corporal of the captain of Hengjiang in Bingzhou, and there may be many misunderstandings about the things in the water, please don't blame the strong man!" ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at the unconscious Liu Xie and asked, "A strong man wearing a full set of armor must not be an ordinary person." I take the liberty to ask, I don't know where the strong man served before? ”

At this time, Zhang Xiu felt that his head was a little dead.

He desperately led Liu Xie to escape this time, wasn't it just to defect to Chen Xu in Bingzhou?

But he didn't want to, and now the water actually washed the Dragon King Temple, and he clashed with the Bingzhou army here.

Rao is like this, Zhang Xiu still did not relax his vigilance, he said suspiciously: "I see that you are waiting for you to be bare-chested, with frivolous language, and fierce faces, all of them are authentic bandits, where do you look like soldiers?" ”

The little leader smiled a little wryly, and he said, "Can the strong man know the Bajun Jinfan thief?" ”

"I followed General Gan in the past and became a bandit on the Yangtze River, but now I have defected to Chen Bingzhou."

"We didn't insist on embarrassing Your Excellency, but when we saw Your Excellency on the fishing boat we were waiting for, we became suspicious."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Liu Xie twice, and said cautiously: "When Your Excellency fell into the water, you once called this young man 'Your Majesty', dare to ask the strong man, is this person the son of heaven?" ”

Zhang Xiu has not yet figured out the details of these people, so how can he expose Liu Xie's identity?

He didn't admit it, but said, "If you are really General Gan's subordinate, I will naturally not be your enemy." It's just that I have to meet General Gan himself before I can do it. ”

At this time, Zhang Xiu actually believed in the words of the little boss in his heart.

Since Chen Xu's wedding and the military generals of Bingzhou performed martial arts, the news that Gan Ning could fight with Lu Bu for sixty rounds without falling behind has been spread.

Zhang Xiu himself is a military general, and he naturally pays special attention to the fierce generals in the state.

He once specially inquired about Gan Ning's deeds, and knew that Gan Ning was once a Jinfan thief, crisscrossing the Yangtze River in Ba County.

In this way, his subordinates are full of gangsterism, but it is reasonable.

"Stomp, stomp!"

A hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded, and I saw a general with hundreds of cavalry rushing in the direction of Zhang Xiu and these people.

The little leader raised his eyes and found that it was Gan Ning, and he was overjoyed, and said to Zhang Xiu: "General Gan is here!" ”

"Stop!"

The war horse ran very fast, and in just an instant, it came to Zhang Xiu and the others. Gan Ning raised the broadsword in his hand, and all the knights behind him stopped.

"The armor on their bodies is really the configuration of the state army."

Seeing the arrival of this cavalry, Zhang Xiu not only did not have the slightest fear, but a smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Xiu let go of the big man he had kidnapped, and said loudly: "Wuwei Zhang Xiu, I've seen the general!" ”
