Autumn rain, desolate.

The surging river water crosses the Qin and Jin Grand Canyon, as if it comes from the sky.

The Yellow River flows through the mouth of the river and is blocked by the Luliang Mountains that run north and south, so it turns south and flows south, rushing between Guanzhong and Hedong. Then near Tongguan, it is blocked by Huashan, the branch of the Qinling Mountains, and turns again and flows through the East China Sea. Fenglingdu is located at the corner of the eastward turn of the Yellow River. It is also the key to Heluo, Guanzhong and Hedong, and becomes the largest ferry on the Yellow River.

For thousands of years, it has been a key to the Yellow River and has welcomed and sent to the Qin and Jin dynasties. I don’t know how many people have entered the Qin and Jin dynasties through here...

Jia Qu led his troops to garrison on a high hill.

Here, the view is wide.

Once an enemy situation occurs, he can discover it as soon as possible and quickly transmit it to the ferry.

This is a very important task and also represents a kind of trust.

Mrs. Ding attaches great importance to him. When Ding Chen and Gao Shun were imprisoned in Luoyang Prison, Jia Qu was ordered to protect the safety of Mrs. Ding and his son. Afterwards, although he did not go to Xingyang with Ding Chen, he was still responsible for protecting Mrs. Ding and his son.

In nearly two years, he evolved from a small school in the Bingzhou army to Ding Chen's confidant.

However, he was not feeling relaxed.

"Mr. Jun. When will the lord return?"

Just as Jia Qu was thinking, a military academy came over and asked softly.

"how?"

"It's nothing... Recently, Bingzhou Army has significantly strengthened its actions against this side. Yesterday we killed a team of scouts.

If the lord does not come back, the Bingzhou Army will find this place.

At that time, if you want to pass the ferry, it will become troublesome..."

The military academy is named Cao Yi, who is about fourteen years old.

However, he was Cao Ang's confidant and one of the teenagers that Ding Chen rescued in Mianchi. He was the oldest and most sensible, and was loved by Cao Ang. Later, as Cao Ang entered the camp, Cao Yi was also incorporated into the army.

Jia Qu smiled and said, "The lord has no news yet, so it is not clear when he will return."

If you are worried, why not ask Mr. Ang… But I guess it’s useless to ask. Mr. Ang is so dependent on his lord. If the lord doesn’t come back, he will not be willing to cross the river. In that case, we don’t think about leaving.”

When Cao Yi heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Jia Qu chatted with him for a few words, looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, he said in a deep voice: "By the way, I just saw something moving in the south. Why don't you lead the team this time and check it out?"

"And you?"

"I?"

Jia Qu smiled and said, "I'm just staring here and being lazy."

Cao Yi chuckled, he nodded, and said, "Then I'll go there now... Junhou, do you have to keep some people here?"

"Need not!"

Jia Qu waved his hand and said, "After it's dark, let's go back.

After checking, you can go back to the ferry directly. I am observing for a while. If nothing is wrong, I will go back."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Cao Yi and Jia Qu greeted each other, summoned troops and rushed down Gaogang.

Jia Qu watched Cao Yi and others disappear into the rain and fog, and suddenly stood up and walked under the tree, untied the reins, and turned over the horse.

He beat the horse and whipped it, and rushed down Gaogang.

However, the direction he went was exactly the opposite of that of Cao Yi and others.

After running out about ten miles, Jia Qu pulled his horse and stopped.

He put his hands beside his mouth and made a few bird calls.

Immediately afterwards, he turned over and dismounted and stood on the side of the road.

After a while, a team of people came out of the dense forest beside the road.

The young man in charge seemed to be not old last year, so he came to Jia Qu and jumped off his war horse.

"Jia Qu, what's the situation?"

"Why are you here now? Didn't I pass the news to you long ago?"

"It's not our fault... Wen Hou originally planned to chase him last night, but was stopped by Wang Situ.

You also know that those Liangzhou barbarians are not easy to deal with! Especially General Xu Rong was killed by the guy named Ding, and no one could suppress the Liangzhou barbarians. Therefore, Marquis Wen must take charge of the situation himself, otherwise there will be chaos in Chang'an.

This morning, General Zhang was sent to Huayin to attack Duan Wei.

Only then did Mr. Wen free his hands and lead his troops to come... He led the 3,000 flying bear army this time, and he was about thirty miles away from this place, and he would definitely be able to arrive before dark.

How is your situation here?

Why haven’t those guys crossed the river yet?”

"Ding Chen has not come back."

"ah?"

"The night before yesterday, Mr. Cai's daughter disappeared. Ding Chen took Pang De and others to search for it, but there is still no news.

I think that Wen Hou doesn't have to wait for him to appear. As long as he holds his family, Ding Chen will naturally surrender.

So, I think if Wen Hou wants to do it, it will be a chance tonight."

When the young man heard this, he nodded repeatedly.

"Wen Hou also means that. He just asked me to tell you that he will wait for your news in Nuwaao tonight.

When you ignite the fire at the ferry, and the fire will happen, Wen Hou will lead his troops to kill him. This time, you will be a great achievement."

The young man's words were filled with envy.

But Jia Qu didn't feel happy at all, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

"So, then let's catch a fire tonight."

"Take care of yourself!"

The young man left with his people, while Jia Qu stood by the road for a while before he got on the horse.

He was from Bingzhou and had always served under Zhang Liao's tent before entering Luoyang.

Later, Zhang Liao sent him to Ding Chen. He thought he would always follow Ding Chen, but he didn't expect that when Ding Chen went to Xingyang, Wang Yun suddenly sent someone to find him. Wang Yun was from Taiyuan, from Bingzhou, and had a good reputation. As his fellow countryman, Jia Qu was naturally very familiar with him and even admired him. Wang Yun found him and told him that Dong Zhuo was a traitor, while Ding Chen was helping the evil. He hoped that Jia Qu could serve the country and help him monitor the movements of Ding's house.

Jia Qu was so angry that he agreed.

But as Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, Jia Qu gradually woke up.

Especially after Ding Chen saved Princess Hongnong and even killed Wang Yue, exposing Wang Yun's true face, Jia Qu regretted it a little.

But at that time, he was in a difficult position...

He sighed, reached out and grabbed the reins of the horse, and turned over the horse.

He galloped along the main road and soon arrived at Fenglingdu.

The so-called Fengling Duke is actually not as simple as a ferry. In fact, this is a market town that evolved from a ferry, and the scale is not small. In the market town, there were originally many restaurants and hotels, and people were very lively.

However, since the beginning of spring, the conflict between Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang has become increasingly fierce.

There is a way that there is no two days in heaven and no two kings in the country.

In a small Hanoi county, two princes appeared.

At first, Zhang Yang was accused of the Yewang, and Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang did not agree. However, under Yuan Shao's persuasion, he could only agree to Zhang Yang stay, but he was very dissatisfied. Now, Yuan Shao is trying to take Jizhou and has no time to take care of Zhang Yang anymore. Wang Kuang had the idea of ​​annexing Zhang Yang... Unexpectedly, when he decided to start, he found that Zhang Yang had grown stronger and it was impossible to swallow it in one bite... So, the double convenience started a round of game.

The means of game is war.

It is precisely because of the emergence of this war that Hanoi was suddenly in turmoil.

As a result, Fenglingdu immediately became deserted, with fewer and fewer customers passing by, and the market town was no longer as prosperous as before.

It was only half a year before the town lost most of its population.

Jia Qu returned to Fengling Ferry and it was too late.

The rain had stopped and a bonfire was lit at the entrance of the town.

There are troops stationed at the entrance of the town. Unlike in the past, the atmosphere here seems to be a bit solemn tonight...

Jia Qu was surprised and turned over and got off the horse and walked over.

"Hey, how come General Gao is here?"

When Jia Qu walked to the entrance of the town, he found that the person on duty at the entrance of the town had been replaced by Gao Shun.

He felt nervous and suddenly had an ominous premonition, so he forced himself to be happy and greet Gao Shun.

The smile on Gao Shun's face was quite strange.

He looked at Jia Qu up and down, and said softly: "I'm here, so I'm naturally waiting for Liang Dao to come back..."
