Originally, Zhang Zhao and these people should have been greeted by Mi Zhu in person, but when he heard that Di Rong brought more than 100,000 people at once, it made it difficult for Mi Zhu to leave him alone, after all, he and Ji Rong were also old acquaintances. Mi Zhu lacked skills, so he had to entrust the matter of welcoming Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong to Yu Xuan.

According to the soldiers' reports, Zhang Zhao and the others were on their own boat, and with the sailors as guides, they should have been able to arrive at dusk. As a result, the left and right couldn't wait, so Yu Fu had to let Gan Ning and them go to the banquet first, and he himself continued to stay by the river and wait. Therefore, Gan Ning said that Yu Pan was going to pick up a few friends, and he would come later, and those friends were Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Xu Sheng and Zang Ba who came from Guangling. And Mi Zhu naturally knew who Yu Flip was going to pick up, and it was not good to let Zhen Rong wait for a long time, so he agreed to Yu Flip's instructions and started the banquet first.

In fact, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong had a very smooth journey, and the reason why they were late was because they set off too late. Zhang Hong not only brought gold and silver with him, but also brought out all the books collected at home. Although he is also a famous person in Guangling, quite a family property, but also can not afford to use expensive paper, these books are written in bamboo slips, both heavy, and occupy space, it is time-consuming and laborious to carry it, and it is time and time to delay.

Yu turned straight and waited until the lights were on, only to see several big ships slowly coming from Jiangbei.

After everyone met and introduced each other, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you see Mr. Zizhong?" ”

Yu said with a smile: "Zizhong is busy entertaining another distinguished guest from your Xuzhou, Lord Zhenrong. ”

Zhang Hong was shocked when he heard this, and asked repeatedly: "What did Lord Yu say, but Pengcheng was too guarded?" ”

Yu laughed and said, "It's Lord Pengcheng Taishou. ”

Zhang Zhao also became anxious and said: "When I left Guangling, I heard that Zhen Rong killed people and set fire to Guangling, and did all kinds of evil. How could Zizhong contain such a villain? ”

Yu Fu groaned: "Lord Zhen came to Jiangnan this time, and more than 100,000 people from Pengcheng followed, so they shouldn't have done such a thing, presumably the rumors are wrong, and they can't be trusted." ”

"Seeing is believing, hearing is false" The truth Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong both understand, since Zhenrong can carry more than 100,000 people to flee together, they should not do such a thing that is inferior to beasts, and they can't help but hesitate.

Yu Xuan said with a smile: "Zizhong set up a banquet in the big tent to wash the dust for the officials and gentry from Pengcheng, if the two gentlemen don't believe it, you can see it at a glance." ”

Everyone went straight to the big tent where Mi Zhu set up the banquet, and even Zhang Zhao didn't have time to take off the hats and robes they wore to resist the fog on the river.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Zhang Zhao sensed that something was wrong. Since all the officials and gentry here are Pengcheng, even if they can't know all of them, they should know at least half of them, and the result surprised him, these people sitting with Zhenrong in the big tent don't even know any of them.

Zhang Zhao was already resourceful, how could he not find the problem here, so he hurriedly attached himself to Yu and whispered in his ear: "Lord Yu, be careful of deception!" ”

Yu heard Zhang Zhao's name for a long time, how could he not pay attention to his reminder, and immediately stopped and whispered to Zhang Zhao. When he was by the river just now, he heard that Zhenrong was wantonly killing the people in Guangling, and he was still a little suspicious, but if Zhang Zhao was not mistaken, Zhenrong found a group of irrelevant people to pretend to be the officials and gentry of Pengcheng, which is a little intriguing. Yu Tuo, like Mi Zhu, both advocate the rule of benevolence and virtue, and they hate those who harm the people, so they ask about it on the spot.

Zhen Rong learned that it was Zhang Zhao, a famous man from Pengcheng, who followed Yu to turn in, and knew that he couldn't hide it, so he couldn't help but regret it a little.

However, there is no regret medicine in this world, Zhen Rong faced Yu Turn's aggressive gaze, and suddenly became vicious, slammed the wine cup in his left hand to the ground, and threw himself towards Yu Flip with a vertical figure, and there was already a cold and shining sharp knife in his hand.

Breaking the cup was a signal agreed by Zhen Rong in advance, and with this fall, Fan Neng and the others overturned several cases one after another, and took out the sharp blade they carried with them and rushed towards Mi Zhu and the others.

The sharp knife in Zhen Rong's hand was only one step away from Yu Flip, and he suddenly heard the wind in his ears, and before he could react, his head "buzzed" and he was hit hard. It turned out that Zhen Rong happened to walk in front of Gan Ning at this time. Although Gan Ning drank a lot of alcohol, he still reacted quickly, kicked out several cases in front of him, and smashed them on Zhen Rong's head.

At the same time as Gan Ning kicked a few cases, the whole body also jumped up from the seat, and landed in front of Zhen Rong, his left hand punched Zhen Rong's lower abdomen, and his right hand grabbed the sharp knife in Ji Rong's hand, pressed against Zhen Rong's throat, and shouted: "Stop me!" ”

Zhen Rong was smashed by several cases, and he was already confused, and he was hit by Gan Ning again, and his eyes were full of pain, but with a sharp knife on his neck, how dare he move, so he had to peek at the movement in the big tent, hoping that his henchmen could get away with it, so that he could exchange hostages, and the result was naturally a big disappointment for him.

In the big tent, in addition to him and Fan Neng, there were twenty-four other henchmen and sergeants who pretended to be officials and gentry, and the number was more than Mi Zhu. Half of the twenty-four sergeants who pretended to be officials and gentry pounced on Mi Zhu. However, the four Flying Tiger guards behind Mi Zhu, each of them were ten by one, and in the blink of an eye, they cut down five or six sergeants, and Mi Zhu was unharmed. As for his surroundings, Gan Ning was like a wolf and a tiger, not to mention, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin were not easy to mess with, and even among the people who came in with Yu Tuo, two people jumped out to fight.

The people on Zhenrong's side, including Fan Nengnei, have already laid down. Even if Gan Ning didn't restrain Zhenrong, the remaining ones didn't dare to continue to move, and threw away the sharp blades in their hands one by one, and obediently captured them. They may not realize it themselves, and doing so is the wisest option. Because, Liu Xin has always emphasized military discipline, and it is forbidden to massacre or abuse prisoners, as long as they take the initiative to lay down their arms, their lives are not in danger for the time being.

In this way, a reception banquet at the end of the good end came to an abrupt end, and this big tent was transformed into a public court for interrogation. The facts are very clear, almost exactly the same as what Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong heard in Guangling, and the fact that Zhen Rong came to the banquet to hide a sharp blade further shows that he has bad intentions.

At the same time that Yu Fu and Mi Zhu were interrogating Zhenrong, Gan Ning, Huang Gai and others had already mobilized naval vessels to surround the more than 500 merchant ships and fishing boats anchored along the river, and there were still more than 10,000 soldiers on those boats who followed Zhenrong. Not only because these soldiers were Zhen Rong's subordinates, but also because, according to the information brought by Zhang Zhao and them, these soldiers had committed unforgivable crimes in Guangling and deserved to be punished, so even Yu Fu and Mi Zhu, who were benevolent by nature, could not let them go.

In order to prevent these soldiers from escaping, in addition to Gan Ning's sailors, Mi Zhu also selected more than 3,000 young men from the people in the refugee camp to assist them in this arrest operation.

The general attack was launched at the third watch, and when the sailors who had been waiting all night quietly touched the merchant ships and fishing boats, they did not meet the slightest resistance. The Pengcheng soldiers on the ship were almost all naked and fell asleep with the woman in their arms. The soldiers of the navy army are also young men with strong blood, and seeing such an unsightly scene, it is inevitable that they will be a little hot, and many people's bodies have reacted. However, no soldier of the navy dared to make any moves that violated military discipline, which was not only a matter of life, but also of the honor of a Han soldier.

The battle went unusually well, and it was all over in less than half an hour. Groups of prisoners were taken naked to the riverbank, and except for a dozen or so soldiers who resisted stubbornly, they were killed on the spot. Because of the mobilization before the war, the officers and soldiers of the navy had long known about the crimes committed by these people, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, and naturally they did not have a good impression of these soldiers who came from Pengcheng, although they knew that it was freezing outside, but they did not let them put on clothes, and let them shiver one by one.

However, this is not an abuse of the prisoners, because these soldiers were naked when they were captured, and Gan Ning and they turned a blind eye and let them mess around.

As for the young women who had been taken captive from Guangling, they were naturally treated differently by the sailors. The sailors were very sympathetic to these women, and not only found clothes to cover their shame, but also vacated their own barracks for them to rest and live.

When the first rays of the morning sun rose, the riverbank that had been noisy all night slowly quieted down. Mi Zhu and Yu looked at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry on the shore, but they were not happy at all. The sudden addition of so much money is naturally a good thing for a refugee camp that is in dire need of money. However, it is not difficult for them to imagine how many people in Guangling have been ruined because of this.

Seeing the heaviness on Mi Zhu and Yu's faces, Gan Ning arched his hand and said: "Two adults, now is not the time to be sad, you should hurry up and report the situation here to the lord, please ask the lord, whether you want to send troops to Guangling." ”

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. If it had been placed in the past, when he learned that there was such an opportunity, Gan Ning would definitely not hesitate to lead his troops across the Yangtze River and occupy Guangling first, but now he would not dare to do it again. However, knowing that Guangling was now under no one's jurisdiction, Gan Ning didn't want to let go of the fat on his lips, so he urged him repeatedly.

Mi Zhu nodded and said: "General Gan is very worried, Mi will repair a book, send it to Xiangyang as soon as possible, and ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible to rescue the 100,000 people who were abandoned by Zhenrong in Guangling." ”

Yu Fu also sighed and said, "There are also those devastated people in Guangling, who are also in dire straits, and they can't be delayed." ”

The crowd was sighing, when suddenly a fast horse came galloping, and the knight on the horse came and said loudly: "Report! Lord Qiyu, Xiangyang sent an urgent mail! ”
