Wang Can took a boat south from Xiangjiang River, changed route in Jiangxia County, headed west, and finally returned north to Chengdu.
This path is Wang Can's return journey.
Going south from Xiangjiang River, Wang Can took a small boat. However, it was a small boat, but it was enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
This small boat was brought by Liu Biao to send Wang Can to the ferry. He specially sent people to find it to escort Wang Can back to Yizhou. Although Wang Can declined Liu Biao's kindness in sending troops to escort him, Liu Biao gave Wang Can a boat as a gift. Wang Can
But he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. The boat went south, changed course in Jiangxia, and entered the main channel of the Yangtze River, and the speed became much faster.
But when the boat was sailing to the west, there was always a large ship hanging far behind on the Yangtze River. This large ship was sent by Gan Ning to protect Wang Can when he knew that Wang Can was leaving for Yizhou.
In the evening, the boat docked on the river bank.
The sun sets, night falls, and the cold wind blows slowly and bitingly on the river.
At this time, the shore was silent and the boat was also in silence.
On the boat, the man driving the boat had already rested. Wang Can was in a room on the boat, reading by candle. Since there was enough charcoal on the boat, he would not get cold at night. Wang Can was wearing a quilt and felt
There was a slight chill in the room, so he stood up and flicked the burning coals, then returned to the bed and read the contents of the military book carefully.
"Crack! Crack!"
In the copper basin, the charcoal burned and made a crisp sound from time to time.
Wang Can was immersed in the sea of books, sometimes smiling happily, sometimes showing annoyance. Time passed by in such a hurry, the night gradually became darker, and the cold air outside the house became heavier and heavier.
Late at night, it was quiet outside the house.
Suddenly, three figures suddenly appeared outside the house. Due to the bright lights in the house, the figures outside the house were very obvious after they emerged. Although Wang Can was concentrating on reading, his vigilance did not decrease.
The figure flashed outside the house and immediately shouted: "Who!"
There was a low shout, but there was no response from outside the room.
At this time, the figure outside the house disappeared and disappeared.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two gentle knocks on the door came. After hearing this, Wang Can's pupils shrank, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
He stood up, put on his clothes in twos and twos, took the Chinese knife from the side, walked gently to the door of the room, leaned against the door, and asked in a low voice: "Who!" At this time, Wang Can's expression
He was serious and his heart fell silent. Because if Pei Yuanshao and Dian Wei came to see him outside the house, they would definitely respond, but he shouted low and there was no response from outside, which made Wang Can wary.
"Lord, it's me!"
A very slight sound came from outside the house. The sound was very low, but it made Wang Can's tense expression relax.
This voice was extremely familiar to Wang Can. It was Gan Ning's unique voice.
Wang Can opened the door and saw that Gan Ning was wet all over. His messy bun was scattered in front of his forehead, with crystal drops of water on it. Next to Gan Ning, there were two strong men.
Like Gan Ning, he was soaked all over and his hair was messy, but his eyes were extremely bright and sparkling, giving him an extremely powerful look.
Wang Can hurriedly welcomed the three people into the house and asked: "Xingba, why are you looking like this?"
Gan Ning cupped his hands and said, "My lord, because there were Liu Biao's men on the boat, I was afraid of being recognized, so I had no choice but to jump into the water from the shore and dive in, so I got soaked all over."
After a pause, Gan Ning pointed to the two people beside him, and introduced with excitement: "My lord, these two are the generals that I recruited not long ago. Among them, the man with a strong figure and a bronze complexion is named Zhou Tai.
, named Youping; the tall, thin, muscular man named Jiang Qin, styled Gongyi. Not many people may know the names of these two people, but when mentioned as "Jiujiang Thieves", they are definitely famous and thunderous.
, no less than the words ‘Jinfan Thief’.”
When Zhou Tai heard Gan Ning's introduction, he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Zhou Tai, pay homage to my lord."
Jiang Qin also cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Qin, pay homage to my lord."
Wang Can thought that the two men were Gan Ning's subordinates, but he did not expect that the two men were hired by Gan Ning.
Hearing Gan Ning's introduction, he was overjoyed. He stretched out his hands to support Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and said in a deep voice: "It is a blessing for Can that Youping and Gongyi can join me. On the Yangtze River, there are Xingba, Youping and Gongyi."
, enough to cut off the Yangtze River and regard the Yangtze River as our back garden in Yizhou. Anyone who wants to go south or north must first obtain your consent."
The three of them looked at each other, smiled, and said modestly: "My lord, Gan Ning (Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin) is too embarrassed to deserve the praise!"
Wang Can smiled, he knew the names of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin.
Especially Zhou Tai, he was like thunder.
Li Zongwu commented on Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, saying that Cao Cao had a dark heart, Liu Bei had a thick face, and Sun Quan was both dark and thick. In Sun Quan's later years, few of his ministers and generals died well. However, Sun Quan treated Zhou Tai extremely favorably.
In recognition of Zhou Tai's achievements, he even gave Zhou Tai a Qingluo umbrella cover for Zhou Tai to use, which shows that Sun Quan valued Zhou Tai.
It was Zhou Tai's bravery and loyalty that made Sun Quan take him so seriously.
Compared with Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin is obviously not as dazzling as Zhou Tai. Jiang Qin's martial arts skills are not high. He is not as capable as Zhou Tai in fighting in all directions, and he is more able to kill the Barbarian King Samoko. In addition to having some talents in the navy, Jiang Qin has no other abilities.
Can't compare with Zhou Tai.
Even so, it was enough to make Wang Can happy.
Wang Can received the allegiance of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and felt that the world was unpredictable and it was like pie in the sky. He entered Jingzhou alone and wanted to recruit talents from Jingzhou. It can be said that he worked hard and finally recruited Huang Zhong, Xu Shu and others.
.However, Gan Ning brought back two navy generals at once, which surprised Wang Can very much.
Wang Can thought about it and asked: "What official positions do Xingba, Youping and Gongyi hold?"
Gan Ning shook his head and said: "Reporting to my lord, the general has just found two people and has not appointed them yet. He is waiting for my lord's order."
Wang Can looked at Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, was silent for a moment, and said: "Youping, Gong Yi, you two have just joined the Navy, and have not made any achievements, so it is impossible to directly promote them to generals. However, the Navy has just been established, and there is no one yet.
Perfect, if you join in, you can form a naval army together. Xingba serves as the commander of the navy, and both of you serve as deputy commanders of the navy, helping Xingba train the navy. As for your official positions, Youping is the captain of Hengjiang, and the public
Yi is the captain of Polu School."
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qinna bowed their heads and said, "My lord is so kind, and I will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations in the end."
Wang Can saw that the two of them were not picky and felt quite satisfied.
In fact, the official position given by Wang Can is very ordinary, just a school captain. However, the two of them also have the title of deputy commander of the navy. The navy has not yet been formed. When the navy is established, both of them will be in the navy.
General Wang Can turned his eyes and asked: "Xingba, you came here late at night, do you have anything else to do?"
After the words fell, Pei Yuanshao's voice sounded outside the house: "Lord!"
Wang Can shouted: "Come in!"
Pei Yuanshao opened the door and came in. He saw Gan Ning here with a look of astonishment on his face.
He bowed his hands to Wang Can and said, "My lord, I heard a conversation outside the house. I thought something had happened, but I didn't expect that it was Lao Gan who brought someone here." After a pause, he said: "
Lao Gan has a special status, so I will go out on guard right now to avoid being discovered by Liu Biao's people."
After saying that, Pei Yuanshao left the house again.
Wang Can nodded and secretly said that Pei Yuanshao was quite smart.
After Pei Yuanshao left, Gan Ning looked serious and said: "My lord, Sun Jian has been stationed in Changsha recently and has been training his naval forces vigorously. He often appears on the Yangtze River. If you take Liu Biao's boat to return to Yizhou westward, you must be careful. Ship during the day.
When you arrive, be sure to send someone on the deck to observe the situation. If you encounter a large fleet, change your direction immediately, and we will rush to rescue you as soon as possible to prevent my lord and Sun Jian from running into each other."
Wang Can heard this and understood the purpose of Gan Ning's late night visit.
He thought about this matter carefully, and finally shook his head and said: "Xingba, even if you meet Sun Jian, don't come up."
Gan Ning had a look of confusion on his face and said, "My lord, it concerns your safety. How can I ignore it?"
Wang Can explained: "Your robbery of Sun Jian has already been recorded by Sun Jian. If you lead the rescue, Sun Jian will definitely know that you are from Yizhou, which will expose your whereabouts. Therefore, as long as you don't encounter
Thief, you don’t need to rescue me. Besides, I still have some friendship with Sun Jian. Although Sun Jian wants to kill me, he won’t stop because of this friendship. But Sun Jian is a sensible person. If he kills me, it will be beneficial.
He can't bear the state sending troops to attack Changsha."
When Gan Ning heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord is wise, I will admire you in the end!"
Wang Can smiled, waved his hand and said: "After you go back, work hard to train your troops and expand your strength as much as possible. After this year, the world will be in chaos. Then you will lead the navy across the Yangtze River and become famous all over the world."
Gan Ning was confused and asked: "My lord, how did you know that the world would be in chaos?"
Wang Can smiled and said nothing.
When Gan Ning saw this, he knew better and did not continue to ask. He handed over his hand and said, "My lord, since you are not afraid of Sun Jian's fleet, I can rest assured. It is late at night. My lord should rest early and I will retire."
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin cupped their hands and said, "My lord, I will take my leave."
The three people came and left in a hurry. They quickly left the room and disappeared into the night. After a while, Pei Yuanshao returned to the room, raised his hands and asked: "My lord, Lao Gan came to visit late at night. Did you find that there were enemy troops blocking the way?"
If there is an attack or there is an enemy pursuit, do we have to travel all night?"
Wang Can widened his eyes and said with a smile: "Old Pei, what do you want to do so much? It's not a big deal. It's just to introduce two generals. Don't worry."
After hearing this, Pei Yuanshao felt relieved.
…
The next day, the boat set sail and continued to the west.
Along the way, they did not encounter Sun Jian's fleet, but successfully entered the border of Yizhou.
The reason was that on the one hand, due to the cold weather, some ice blocks appeared in some areas on the river, making it difficult for the fleet to sail; on the other hand, Sun Jian was also recuperating. Therefore, the boat Wang Can took returned smoothly. In the end, the boat arrived in Jiangyang
Turn to the county road, go north to Tuojiang River, and head towards Chengdu.
After more than half a month, Wang Can finally returned to Chengdu.
At this time, it was already the end of January in the third year of Chuping. Historically, Dong Zhuo was killed at the end of April, which was only three months before Dong Zhuo's death.
