340, Encounter Liu Feng by chance [3/3]

On this day, Sun Yu led the scouts to Fancheng.

The location of Fancheng is extremely important. It is located on the north bank of the Han River and is across from the opposite Xiangyang City. Since ancient times, it has been a place that military strategists must compete for. Guan Yu of Shu and Wu fought for Jingzhou, and was defeated by Fancheng. This place is not only a key place for military strategists, but also a major road where merchants gather. Freight transports from south to north must cross the river at the dock of Fancheng.

Sun Yu and others paid the tax on entering the city and walked into Fancheng easily.

This city is built on the Han River. The south city wall is completely attached to the edge of the Han River, so it is impossible to attack with an army. There are heavy troops stationed in the north city wall. A flag is raised on the top of the city with the word "Cai" written on it.

Sun Yu asked the people next to him that the guard of Fancheng was named Cai Zhong, the younger brother of Cai Mao, the chief general of the water army under Liu Biao's tent.

nm01 reported to Sun Yu as usual: "Cai Zhong, a native of Xiangyang, was the clan of Cai Mao, the clan of Jing general Cai Mao. When Liu Bei was attached to Jingzhou, Cai Mao was deeply afraid of Liu Bei and planned to kill him. Cai Zhong was ordered to guard the southern gate of Xiangyang. Later, the Cai family surrendered to Cao Cao with Liu Cong, and Cai Zhong became Cao Cao's subordinate. During the Battle of Red Cliff, Cai Zhong and Cai and the two of them pretended to surrender to Eastern Wu, but were discovered by Zhou Yu. Gan Ning led Cai Zhong into the village and killed him with one knife."

Sun Yu nodded and thought to himself: This guy is just a rookie, don’t take it to heart.

Everyone passed by the city, and Xiao Xu Shu followed Sun Yu silently. There were many shop assistants and small pods selling snacks on the roadside. Xu Shu was drooling, but she was quite tough and refused to ask for it.

When Sun Yu saw that Fancheng's special snack butter noodles were found on the roadside, he bought a large bowl and handed it to Xu Shu. Xiao Xu Shu held the bowl and ate it without saying thank you. He looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

This little loli is really troublesome. In order to cultivate feelings, you can’t beat or scold you, and you are depressed!

Sun Yu and others walked to the pier at the south gate and saw a bustling scene on the pier. Many merchant ships were loading and unloading goods, and porters came and went on the pier. The Jingzhou navy also sent four or five warships to patrol and inspect the pier.

When Sun Yu saw the navy, he frowned. This thing... is not easy to deal with! If you want to say that the thing Gongsun Jun lacks the most is the navy. The south ships and the north ships are all good at horses, but when they talk about the ships, they are afraid that everyone will change their lust.

He looked up at the Han River and saw that the Han River was extremely wide. From Fancheng to Xiangyang opposite, the river was four kilometers wide. How could there be no naval force to cross such a wide river? It would be absolutely impossible to build a pontoon bridge. If the enemy's naval forces cross the river, they would not even think of building a pontoon bridge.

Sun Yu couldn't help asking nm01: "Does there be any historical records that Liu Biao had how many naval troops?"

nm01 replied: "It is recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that when Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Biao's army had more than 7,000 large and small warships!"

"More than seven thousand ships?" Sun Yu almost breathed a sigh of relief. Your sister, more than seven thousand warships crossing the river. How could my brother's Gongsun Jun and the Yellow Turban Army cross the Han River? Isn't this a cheating father? There are mistakes in history books, and there must be mistakes. I don't believe that Liu Biao has so many ships. He must have small sampans, canoes, and fishing boats inside.

While sending nm01 to record the terrain of Fancheng Wharf, Sun Yu said to Yan Yun: "Go and book a large ship that can accommodate more than 20 people and horses. Let's cross the river to reconnaise Xiangyang, determine the specific location and distribution of Liu Biao's naval army, and feel the water flow."

When Yan Yun heard that he wanted to take a boat, his face immediately became as ugly as bitter gourd: "General, we really can't stand the boat... Last time we were tortured by the pirates at the Yellow River Ferry, otherwise you can see... Let's wait for you here, you'll go over and reconnaissance yourself. Anyway, the general uses his divine eyes to reconnaissance clearly..."

Sun Yu said angrily: "Even if you are afraid of taking a boat? How to fight in the future? No, you have to go. For the other twenty scouts, let them wait in Fancheng."

Yan Yun was so depressed that he did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to go to find the boat obediently. Since the twenty scouts did not need to go, he no longer had to find a big boat. Yan Yun wanted to find a small boat casually, but unfortunately, although there were many boats on the dock, there was no free time. Each boat was busy and there was no time to carry people.

Sun Yu had no choice but to give up looking for a separate ferry and led Xu Shu and Yan Yun onto a huge regular ferry. This large ferry is dozens of meters long and can accommodate hundreds of people. It travels between Xiangyang and Fancheng every two hours. The charge is quite cheap, with fifteen copper plates per person.

The boat was extremely noisy and complicated, and there were all kinds of religions and all kinds of people.

Sun Yu and the other two shrank to the side of the ship. On the one hand, it was because it was not eye-catching here, and on the other hand, it was that the sight here was better and you could see the situation on the river.

Sun Yu mainly uses nm01 to record the terrain environment, but his eyes don’t want to be idle. After all, what he saw with his own eyes is more intuitive than using nm01 to play it out.

The big ship left the shore, and the old boatman raised his sails, and the water man rowed the boat rim together. The huge ferry left Fancheng Wharf and headed towards Xiangyang City Wharf, four kilometers away.

The big ship had just left the dock and began to sway in the torrent of the Han River. Yan Yun looked strange and leaned against the side of the ship. Although this big man from Hebei was a dragon on land, he became a worm as soon as he entered the water, which really made Sun Yu laugh and cry.

At this time, a team of yamen runners on the board suddenly attracted Sun Yu's attention. It turned out that there was an official on the ferry, wearing the county magistrate's uniform, surrounded by twenty yamen runners. The yamen runners surrounded the county magistrate in the middle with sticks of water and fire. The people were afraid of the officials, so they scattered far away from the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was just about forty years old, with a figure neither fat nor thin, and ordinary facial features. Next to her was a young woman, who looked about seventeen years old, with beautiful facial features and heroic figures. She had a sword hanging on her waist and an iron spear on her back, and looked like she had a few brushes.

The middle-aged county magistrate was shouting: "I went out in a hurry and I didn't have time to eat. My dear niece, let's have a meal on the boat. Anyway, the Bali waterway will take a lot of time, enough to eat."

The girl nodded.

The yamen runners took out a row of food boxes from their luggage they carried with them. There was actually wine and meat in the box. The boatman quickly took out a table and put it in front of the county magistrate and the girl. He smiled and said, "Sir Liu Mi, are you going to Xiangyang again today?"

The county magistrate named Liu Mi nodded and ignored the boatman.

nm01 reported to Sun Yu: "Liu Mi, the magistrate of Fancheng County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was a fictional character in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", appeared in the 36th chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Liu Mi is a native of Changsha, a relative of the Han Dynasty, and the uncle of Liu Feng. After Liu Bei took Fancheng, he met Liu Mi. When he saw Liu Mi's nephew Kou Feng, who loved him, he loved Kou Feng as his adopted son and changed his name to Liu Feng."

After hearing this, Sun Yu felt a little surprised: In this way, the girl behind Liu Mi is Liu Feng? She should still be called Kou Feng now. Haha, I am so lucky. I have to meet celebrities when I take a boat in Jingzhou. Should I kidnap... Kill... This is a seventeen-year-old girl, how can I kidnap? Let's discuss it later.

As expected by Sun Yu, this girl was Kou Feng. She went from Fancheng to Xiangyang with Liu Mi today. There should have been a special boat to pick her up, but the official ship was leaking and was being renovated. Liu Mi and Kou Feng crossed the river on the ferry that ordinary people often took.

At this time, Kou Feng was carrying a big fat piece of meat from the food box to stuff it into his mouth. Suddenly, a wave hit him. The big boat shook gently, and the big fat piece of meat slid from her chopsticks and landed on the ground with a "splash". The deck of the boat was very dirty, and the big fat rolled on the ground, and it was immediately covered with mud and sand, looking so dirty.

The girl Kou Feng didn't care. She picked up the piece of fat covered with mud and sand from the boat board, threw it into her mouth, chewed it for a few times, and then swallowed it into her stomach.

Silk! Sun Yu gasped and thought: It is very rare for such a girl who doesn’t like to be clean.

At this time, a yamen runner smiled and said to Kou Feng: "Miss Kou, why do you still eat such dirty meat? The boat is unsteady. I will catch the boatman and beat him up and scold you to vent your anger."

Kou Feng reached out to block the yamen runners and snorted coldly: "Don't bully honest people. As generals and officials, we should always give up on the people. Grains and slices of rice and meat are hard to come by, but it's a pity to abandon them. The boatman is tired all day long and deserves our respect. What is it to be a swaying boat occasionally, so how can we bear to beat and scold?"

The yamen runner quickly smiled and stepped aside.

Sun Yu nodded repeatedly from the side, and couldn't help asking nm01: "I didn't have a good impression of Liu Feng before. I always thought he was a bad person, but I didn't expect that Liu Feng people in this world are not bad."

nm01 report: "Liu Feng's character is very good according to history. However, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" deliberately smeared him. The story of his eating of dirty meat has been passed down by people. Later generations of famous dishes, "sweet meat with sand", were invented by locals to commemorate Liu Feng's eating of dirty meat that fell on the ground."

Sweat death, and there is such a folk legend? Sun Yu said depressedly: "Can meat with sand be eaten?"

nm01 replied: "The sand-stuck meat is not really sand-stuck, it is grinding red beans into bean paste and sandwiching them in the meat."

Sun Yu: “…”

Forget it, don’t worry about sandwich meat for now. Brother, please remember that Liu Feng is in Fancheng. When our Gongsun army seizes Fancheng, this girl is worth taking. The reason why Liu Bei killed Liu Feng in history was because he was afraid that he would threaten Liu Chan’s status, but Sun Yu could not recognize Liu Feng as his daughter, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

Just as he thought of this, there was a sudden noise on the ferry. Sun Yu found that all the people next to him were clamoring loudly.

Someone was shouting, "Shui Pirate!"

"The thief is here, my god!"

"The thief is so brave. This is between Xiangyang and Fancheng, and the thief dares to come."

"Knock the clapper!"

The people on the boat suddenly became in chaos.

Yan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I knew... I knew that the boat could not be seated, and once I took the boat, water thieves would emerge from the empty space..."

Sun Yu was also sweating profusely. What kind of plane is it? This is an important waterway between Fancheng in Xiangyang. It is also a thief here? It's so weird. He stretched his head out of the side of the ship and saw a dense shadow of sails appearing in the upstream of the Han River, which looked like no less than 300 warships.
Chapter completed!
