【Chapter 119】 It's hard to cross

() Gaotang, Nanpi, Leling, the three places were quickly traveled, passing directly through them in one day and one night.

Not only has Yun Ye arrived near Jieshi Mountain, Yuan Shao has also led his troops to arrive near Jieshi Mountain. After temporarily ordering his troops to wait where they were, he led a dozen generals towards a place with a large flow of water near Jieshi Mountain.

Go to a gentle place.

Of course, this gentleness is only relative.

On the solitary peak in the cloudy night, you can even faintly see the boats on the water swaying slightly, which shows how fast the water here is.

"Lord, a little further down is where Xingba and the others are crossing the iron rope!" Xu Chu, who was carrying a big sword next to Yun Ye, said with excitement on his face as he looked at the place where dozens of ships were crossing.

"Hmm! It seems that Yuan Shao is indeed going to cross the river downstream!" Yun Ye put up a pavilion with his hands, nodded, turned around, and ordered: "Tell the soldiers to go to Yunan Beach and wait. Gan Ning will lead his troops later.

Come on, get on the boat directly!"

"General Mo, go and give your orders now!" Xu Chu clasped his fists and turned to leave.

.....

On the other side, Yuan Shao and a dozen generals quickly arrived near Jieshi Mountain, where the water was the gentlest.

At this time, Xu You, who was still a little pale, walked towards Yuan Shao with the support of his servant, and bowed his hands: "My lord!"

"Ziyuan is ill, so there is no need to be so polite!" Yuan Shao gave Xu You a smile, pointed to the water in front of him, and asked:

"I don't know, what's the name of this place?"

Xu You was stunned by Yuan Shao's question. He had just arrived here and had no idea of ​​the fame of this place. Fortunately, a clever guard beside him quickly stood up and bowed and said:

"I'm telling you, sir, I heard from people nearby that this place is called, but I don't know how to cross it!"

"No Caidu?" A look of confusion appeared on Yuan Shao's face: "This name is quite strange!"

The guard quickly explained: "I heard from people nearby that the origin of this name is that a scholar who once served as a high-ranking official in Luoyang abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. Seeing that the water flow here was gentle, he wanted to cross the river here, who knew what would happen that night?

When strong winds arose, the ship was overturned by the stormy waves, and the scholar was also buried here! Therefore, in addition to the name "No Cai Ferry", this place is also known as "Nancai Ferry"."

"Shi Di is difficult to cross?" As soon as he heard this name, Yuan Shao felt a bad feeling from the bottom of his heart.

Most generals like to go to a place and ask its name. The reason is just to get good or bad luck, just like Pang Tongyi in history heard about Luofengpo and felt that something was not good!

As for Yuan Shao, he felt something bad in his heart at this moment. Scholars are difficult to cross. He is the fourth generation and the third prince, and is the first-class scholar in the world. He, Yuan Shao, is naturally the first among the scholars in the world. He is also called here.

Is it difficult for him to cross the river?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao looked at Xu You with some embarrassment and asked in a deep voice: "Ziyuan, can you change the place to cross the river?"

"Near Jieshi Mountain, the water flow is very fast. Only here, because of the wide river channel, the water flow is quite gentle. If you go elsewhere, you will definitely not be able to cross the river!"

Xu You knew about these places before coming here. When he heard Yuan Shao mention it, he immediately understood Yuan Shao's plan. He felt disappointed and suddenly started coughing. He waved his hands with an ugly face.

It would be fine if it were anywhere else in the Yellow River, but the Yellow River near Jieshi Mountain has rough waves. Once the current is a little strong, there is a possibility of shipwreck and death. Xu Youke did not dare to choose other places to cross the river just for the sake of a name!

"Forget it, let's go down and prepare to cross the river!" Yuan Shao saw Xu You's determined look and gave the order helplessly.

...

It's two to three miles upstream of Shinandu.

Gan Ning, dressed in brocade clothes with a huge copper bell hanging from his waist, sat cross-legged on the bank of the river, with a ring-headed knife shining with a cold light on his legs, his hands as if caressing his lover.

Wipe the ring-shou knife with a cloth.

The surging Yellow River water rushed past, and even some water splashed on my body, but it was as if I didn't hear it.

At this moment, a young man in a general's uniform walked over with excitement on his face, clasped his sword with both hands and reported: "General! The Lord has given an order, you can go downstream!"

This young man was Gan Ning's deputy and the second among the Jinfan thieves. He was originally an orphan, and his original name was Zhang Ba. Later, because of his admiration for Gan Ning, he changed his name to Gan Ba!

Gan Ning raised his head and glanced at Gan Ba, raised the ring-shou sword in his hand, stared at the cold sword light, and slightly nodded his head expressionlessly: "Tell brothers, get ready to fight! This time, can you

Whether you will make great contributions or become famous depends entirely on the performance of your brothers!"

"Don't worry, general!" Gan Ba ​​heard Gan Ning's words and proudly beat his chest and promised: "Brothers are ready. This time, we must let the general make a great contribution and become the leader of the navy under Wu Zhaohou.

Governor!"

Gan Ba ​​also knew that Wu Zhaohou did not have a navy army that could be used for much purpose. If he could seize the opportunity this time, the post of navy commander would definitely not be a luxury!

Seeing that they can become regular navy soldiers from water thieves, the former Jinfan thieves naturally don't want to lose their chain, and they even started training a few days ago!

Knowing this, Gan Ning stood up with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, patted Gan Ba ​​on the shoulder, and then walked towards the place where the ship was moored.

...

"Bucaidu, it looks like Yuan Shao is going to fall into trouble this time!" A middle-aged figure quietly poked out of a weedy place not far from Wucaidu, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, and turned his head

Looking at another young man next to him, he asked:

"Nephew, do you want to save them?"

"Rescue? Why save him?" The young man sneered, with murderous intent in his eyes: "They are all enemies anyway, so let's just die! It can also consume the opponent's strength!"

"Alas! Yuan Shao is doomed this time!" The middle-aged figure sighed regretfully, and a hint of cruelty appeared on his face. Jie Jie sneered: "However, there is Marquis Wu Zhao who will go with him.

Huang Quan, this life is not in vain! Jie Jie Jie!"

The young man's brows furrowed involuntarily when he heard that harsh smile, but then his face softened, revealing a trace of dissatisfaction: "This time, I'm going to let Chan'er take a look, who is the real one?"

The man who truly deserves her!"

"Shut up!" Upon hearing the young man's words, the middle-aged man suddenly felt like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said angrily, "If I hear you say this again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With that said, he walked away directly.
