Chapter 51 What kind of rhythm is this? (Part 2)
According to unofficial history, Mrs. Gan is as beautiful as a flower, and her skin is as crystal clear as jade.
Liu Bei loved her very much and often placed beautiful jade beside Mrs. Gan, saying, "The beauty of mutton fat is especially beautiful jade." From this we can see that Mrs. Gan's beauty is by no means inferior to Erqiao in Jiangdong. Unfortunately, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has downplayed these, which makes people have little impression of Mrs. Gan. In many people's minds, it is probably apart from the plot where the two ladies of Gan Mi often fall into the hands of the enemy, Mrs. Gan gave birth to an Adou Liu Chan... Oh, by the way! It seems that Cao Cao also thought about using Mrs. Gan to seduce Guan Yu.

In the battle of Lingshui, he won a great victory.
In addition to seizing ten carts, more than a hundred soldiers were captured.
Liu Chuang finally figured out why Mrs. Gan appeared on the banks of Lingshui River... It turned out that when Lu Bu captured Xia Pi that day, Zhang Fei tried his best to break through the siege, but left Mrs. Gan in the city. Fortunately, Lu Bu did not neglect Mrs. Gan and sent someone to protect Mrs. Gan and did not allow anyone to disturb him.
A few days ago, under Chen Deng's persuasion, Lu Bu decided to negotiate peace with Liu Bei.
In order to show his sincerity, he decided to send Mrs. Gan back to Haixi first... But he was afraid that Liu Bei would do anything bad, so he asked someone to send Mrs. Gan to Ling County first, and then Liu Bei sent someone to Ling County to take Mrs. Gan back. The matter was basically like this. But he didn't want to be ambushed by Liu Yong and Guan Hai on the way. No wonder, if anyone came out of Ling County, anyone would have misunderstandings...
Since the two sides had begun to negotiate peace, Liu Bei was not too careful.
He sent a goalkeeper named Liu Hu to Lingxian with some newly recruited troops.
As a result, after a fierce battle, Liu Hu was killed by Liu Yong, five hundred soldiers died and some of them were left fled without a trace.
"Meng Yan, your grudge between you and Liu Enjun has nothing to do with Sister Gan.
When I went to Xiapi to play, Sister Gan treated me very well... Can you not hurt her and let her go?"
Looking at Mi Feng's pleading look, Liu Chuang looked embarrassed.
"Feng Feng, it's not that I want to make things difficult for Mrs. Gan, but... If I let her go now, the news will inevitably leak out.
Now we are struggling here, surrounded by enemies on all sides. If we are not careful, we will be wiped out. I also want to let Mrs. Gan go, but if we let her go, it will be like exposing Xingzang. Even our previous efforts will be wasted and turned into nothing."
"But……"
Mrs. Moe was in a dilemma, too.
Liu Chuang’s words were not a rude word.
What a sinister situation they are facing now...
I was almost ambushed by Guan Yu in Jiepaishan before, and finally had a glimmer of hope. It was indeed troublesome to let Mrs. Gan go at this time.
Liu Chuang scratched his head with both hands, with an expression of distress on his face.
“Not only that, we must set off right away.
It is necessary to cross the Huai River before dawn and then go straight to Hailing... In the battle just now, although it won a great victory, it also leaked the news. I am afraid that Liu Bei will get the news within two days at the latest. If we can't cross the river within three days, we may be unable to save our lives."
Three days!
The elk also showed nervousness.
It is indeed a bit difficult to cross the Huai River in three days and then run hundreds of miles to the riverside.
However, it was hard for her to make her difficult for Mrs. Gan or to harm Mrs. Gan's life, and Mi Feng couldn't bear it.
"What should I do?"
"Take her away!"
Liu Chuang pondered for a moment and said softly: "When the right opportunity comes, I will let Mrs. Gan go.
But before we are not safe, or within two days, I will never let her go, otherwise it will inevitably be dangerous."
"Then...well, Sister Gan and I will explain to her not to be afraid."
Mi Feng took two steps, suddenly stopped again, looked at Liu Chuang and said, "But you have to make sure that you must not ruin Sister Gan's life."
"This, naturally!"
Mi Feng went back to explain the situation to Mrs. Gan, and also obtained Mrs. Gan's consent.
Mrs. Gan, whose real name is Ganyu, is from Pei County.
After Liu Bei helped Tao Qian retreat to Cao Cao, he stationed in Xiaopei. Then in Xiaopei, he married Mrs. Gan to join the family... Mrs. Gan's family was not very good. Gan's family was a small family in Pei County and had no strength. Therefore, when he heard that Liu Bei was willing to take Mrs. Gan, Gan Yu's parents immediately agreed. As for Liu Bei's age was twice as old as Mrs. Gan, it was no problem in this era.
Not everyone has the courage to be a moose.
Mrs. Gan said bluntly, she was just an ordinary girl with a gentle temperament, so she followed her parents' arrangements.
However, her family did not seem to have any favors. When Lu Bu seized Xia Pi, Gan Yu's parents died in the chaos.
After dealing with Mrs. Gan’s affairs, Liu Chuang immediately discussed with Guan Hai and others.
Everyone agreed with Liu Chuang's opinion, and it was not waiting for me... Since the hiding had been exposed, we must escape from danger as soon as possible. Staying in Xuzhou for a moment would make it more dangerous. Guan Hai, Liu Yong, Huang Shao and Xu Sheng all praised the carriage to set off. So, after a meal, Liu Chuang and others set off overnight. Ten carriages were sorted out, and all the weapons could be distributed, and all the ones that could not be distributed were discarded. Then the wounded were placed in the carriage, and the prisoners were responsible for pushing the carriage to speed up the movement.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, after soldiers became prisoners, there were few fierce resistance.
As long as they were not killed, there would be no riots... What's more, these prisoners were mostly soldiers whom Liu Bei forced to recruit after he arrived in Haixi, and his sense of belonging to Liu Bei had not yet developed. In other words, the kind halo of Liu Huangshu had not yet been used against these soldiers.
Therefore, after Liu Chuang promised not to kill them, the prisoners became very obedient.
More than a dozen chariots were thundering, and Liu Chuang ordered Pei Shao and Xue Wen to open the road in front, and Liu Yong led his troops to fight. He and Guan Hai personally led 150 people to the center, heading towards Huaipu, walking across the stars and moon. Before dawn, Pei Shao rushed to the ferry and snatched more than ten ferries, transporting vehicles and soldiers across the river. Until almost noon, all the people crossed the Huaipu River... Although a strange situation was discovered in Huaipu County, they did not dare to act rashly. It was not until late, and after confirming that Liu Chuang and others had crossed the river, the Huaipu County Magistrate ordered people to open the city gate.
After checking the situation, the Huaipu County Magistrate immediately sent someone to cross the river and prepared to report to Guangling County.
After all, Huaipu County was under the jurisdiction of Guangling County, and Liu Bei lost Xia Pi, so the Huaipu County Magistrate naturally could not notify Liu Bei in advance.
This made Liu Chuang and others have a chance to breathe.
Going south and running non-stop.
Left behind on the way and escaped from time to time, but Liu Chuang had no time to take care of it.
The morning after crossing the Huai River, they had already passed through the hilly area east of Gaoyou County... After a brief rest, Liu Chuang ordered to set off again. However, after counting the number of people, there were only more than 300 people left. Putting aside the thirty-six ant thieves at the time, Xuezhou gave Liu Chuang two hundred people, and then Liu Chuang abducted more than 100 people in Huaiyin. On the banks of the Lingshui River, he captured more than 100 people, which totaled nearly 500 people.
But now...
Most of the people who fled were prisoners who looted from Huaiyin County, but those who were captured by the Lingshui River only escaped a dozen.
"These soldiers can endure hardships."
“The sea west is barren and chaotic.
Most of the land was occupied by local tyrants, and many locals had no land at all, so they could only rely on helping people to plow the fields... Most of these people had no worries at home and had no family property. Meng Yan could make them fill their stomachs, although it was harder, it was better than starving to death at home... After Liu Bei arrived in Haixi, he was forced to collect a lot of food and grass, which made them dissatisfied.
Haha, those thieves remain unchanged...
Wen Xiang killed dozens of deserters along the way, but many people still ran away.
In my opinion, if you recruit troops in the future, it is better to recruit some people who are responsible... like those thieves, and they will charge in battle."
Guan Hai cursed and expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart.
After hearing this, Liu Chuang just smiled.
His eyes involuntarily crossed the river and drifted towards the east of the Yangtze River.
There was a saying in later generations that Danyang has many sharp soldiers since ancient times... Since the Han Dynasty, most of the elite soldiers came from the north, such as Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Xiliang. The most elite soldiers in the south were mostly from Danyang. It is said that 80% of the elite soldiers under Liu Bei's command later came from Danyang. If he could recruit some soldiers in Danyang, his combat effectiveness might be greatly improved.
However, the most urgent task is not to recruit soldiers.
Liu Chuang had already received the news that Chen Gui drew 800 soldiers from the Dongling Pavilion and rushed to Suiling.
In other words, the guards of Dongling Pavilion are relatively lax... but how to cross the river? Liu Chuan has not yet come up with a proper solution.
"Young Master, Sheng has a plan that may help you cross the river safely."
