Wang Ding, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu are still waiting.
Wei Yan said: "Three generals, if they trust the bandits so easily, will they regret it?"
Wang Dingdao: "No need to worry. Even if he regrets it, it doesn't matter, unless he never comes out in this life."
Wang Ding still has great confidence in Liao Hua.
Liao Hua is not stupid, and his character should not be much worse.
Otherwise, in the future, after the death of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, he would not have become the mainstay of the Shu Kingdom.
Wei Yan was stronger than Liao Hua, but in Wang Ding's heart, he now trusted Liao Hua more.
Wei Yan also recently surrendered, and because of Zhuge Liang's evaluation of him, Wang Ding also felt a little confused.
But Wei Yan can still be reused.
After all, he is also a talent.
The overall strength is very strong and will not be lost to the five good generals under Cao Cao.
In Qingfeng Mountain, Liao Hua asked people to move the food out of the village.
Finally, he set fire to the village and burned down the village.
During this period, he also looted twenty thousand shi of food.
After coming down the mountain, Liao Hua came to Wang Ding and said: "The food is all here."
Just now in the cottage, Liao Hua also thought more clearly.
Today, he went out of Qingfeng Mountain to attack the caravan. I'm afraid it was this horse thief who was disguised as one.
Otherwise, why would the caravan's carriage be loaded with stones, and what would appear in the end were horse thieves, but not government soldiers and horses?
"I wonder how many generals are called?" Liao Hua asked.
Wang Ding said: "My name is Duan Yuan, and the three of them are Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and Wei Yan."
Now that Liao Hua had surrendered, Wang Ding did not hide it. Of course, he still took Duan Yuan's name temporarily.
He was not afraid that Liu Biao would guess that this horse thief was one of his men in disguise.
But people must not know that he is also among this cavalry.
Liu Bian now gave up his pursuit of them for the time being.
But if Liu Biao knew that Wang Ding was here, Liu Biao would definitely send an army again, or even go out personally.
They dispatched 200,000 troops from Jingzhou to keep Wang Ding in Jingzhou forever.
Now, they can move around Jingzhou safely, but Liu Biao did not use all his strength.
And Liu Biao initially underestimated the strength of this cavalry.
Liao Hua had never heard of the names of Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu.
He only traveled around various counties in Jingzhou, and the news he heard was very limited.
However, Liao Hualiu had heard of Wei Yan's name when he fled to Changsha County in the past, and was even conquered by Wei Yan with his troops.
Liao Hua was deeply impressed by the name Wei Yan.
He traveled around the counties in Jingzhou and had contact with the generals in each county.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan from Changsha County were undoubtedly the two people who put the most pressure on him.
He stayed in Changsha County for the shortest time, and he never went to Changsha County again after that.
Wei Yan, who used to give him a headache and didn't dare to face him, has now become a member of the horse thieves?
Liao Hua was a little unbelievable.
Are horse thieves so promising?
The general of Changsha County is left alone to become a horse thief?
There was something wrong with the way Liao Hua looked at Wei Yan.
At the same time, I am even more certain that following this horse thief is definitely the most correct decision.
Wei Yan was a little uncomfortable with Liao Hua's eyes, and said: "You are lucky, they are not horse thieves, but generals under the command of the Chariot and Cavalry General."
Since Wang Ding did not hide his name, Wei Yan directly identified himself.
Liao Hua looked at Wang Ding and the others in surprise and said, "You guys...is it really that?"
Seeing Wang Ding nod, Liao Hua said: "I had known that he was a subordinate of General Chariot and Cavalry, and he had surrendered a long time ago, so why bother having a gambling fight."
"Let's go." Wang Ding rode away on his horse.
Then all the food was handed over to the caravan.
"Liao Hua, you will take your troops and follow the caravan to Hanzhong."
A few days later, Wang Ding appeared on the edge of the Han River.
"Here." Liao Hua nodded.
The bandits under his command could not run as fast as Wang Ding, but instead affected Wang Ding's speed.
Several large ships have docked on the edge of the Han River.
Someone was carrying bags of grain onto the big ship.
Liao Hua and his bandit subordinates all pretended to be caravan guards.
It's just that the number of guards seems a bit too much.
But they are all on the boat, and outsiders don't know how many people are on the boat. It is also convenient for them to hide without attracting attention.
The person in charge of the caravan did not know Wang Ding either.
His mission was just to come to Jingzhou and transfer the grain away.
They can reach Hanzhong directly by taking a boat and taking the Han River.
However, they have to pass through Shangyong and Badong counties on the way. If someone knows their identities, they will still be in some danger.
Now that there are 700 people escorted by Liao Hua, the security problem can be solved.
As long as you pass Shangyong County, you are basically safe.
Now that Gao Shun is in Hanzhong, he can also influence Badong.
Even so, it's a big circle, but it's safer.
Moreover, the journey from Jingzhou to Hanzhong is by water, so not much food is consumed.
Not only did Liao Hua leave with the merchant ship, but also more than a thousand Jingzhou cavalry who had been captured before, as well as Huang Zhong and Wenpin, were all sent to the ship.
Wenpin is still unwilling to surrender, but Wang Ding doesn't want to let him go either.
The injury on Huang Zhong's back has not healed yet.
Taking the land route would have been punishing, so let him leave by boat.
By the time we reach Hanzhong, Huang Zhong's injury is probably almost healed. By then, he can take the Ziwu Road directly to Chang'an and then come to Luoyang.
Merchant ships left one by one.
Wang Ding also took Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, and Wei Yan to the north again.
This time, 150,000 shi of food and grass were plundered in Jingzhou.
Although there is still a big gap between 500,000 and 500,000, it can barely keep hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang fed for an extra month.
Nanyang County!
Wancheng!
Huo Jun had already received Liu Biao's secret letter.
During this time, he has been sending people to pay attention to the information about horse thieves.
This time, Liu Biao did not hide anything. Instead, he directly informed Huo Jun in a secret letter that the horse thieves were most likely from Luoyang. He asked Huo Jun to be more careful and make a plan to capture the cavalry.
He lost three thousand cavalry, and he had to get them back after all.
During this period of time, Liu Biao also had people count the amount of food that had been looted.
A full 150,000 stones.
It was enough to feed his 200,000 troops for a month.
Liu Biao didn't even get back such a large sum of food and grass.
But he didn't know yet that the food and grass he wanted was already heading west along the Han River and would leave Jingzhou soon.
Huo Jun is on the city wall of Wancheng every day.
He frowned.
Three thousand cavalry were completely wiped out, and Wenpin disappeared.
At this moment, Liu Biao asked him to deal with this cavalry, and Huo Jun was under great pressure.
He was not sure that he could keep this cavalry.
The spies have come to report that the other party is only more than two hundred miles away from Wancheng.
