Gan Ning stood beside the mast and stared at the front. He vaguely saw the shadow of the small boat and gradually approached a cargo ship in front of them. It was a thousand stone cargo ship full of armor, with a huge size. It was actually a bait used to attract. In addition to ten thousand pairs of armor, the ship also hid two of the most elite naval soldiers.

This is also Zhou Buyi's suggestion. He studied the details several times and found a habit. The dozen or so cargo ships stolen were all 2,000 stones, the largest of the surrounding cargo ships, which shows that he likes to steal big ones.

Now it seems that Zhou Buyi's strategy is completely correct. The one who selected was this thousand-stone cargo ship. Although Zhou Buyi was wise, he was still far from commanding and fighting. He also saw the shadow of the small boat and asked nervously: "Governor, we can go up."

Gan Ning shook his head, "No hurry, wait until they get on the big ship."

About a quarter of an hour later, the indicator lantern hanging on the mast of the cargo ship in front flashed, which was a signal, which meant that the other party had already boarded the ship. Gan Ning immediately ordered: "Let the ship be put into the water."

Immediately, soldiers slowly lowered the water of twenty cliffs. Two sailors slid down from the big ship one after another and drove the cliffs forward. Gan Ning stood at the bow of a cliff ship in front with two halberds in his hand, staring at the river with sharp eyes. At this time, they had surrounded the two big ships in a double fan shape.

At this moment, a shout of killing suddenly broke out on the ship, shouting, and swords and swords were fighting each other, mixed with a few screams. A few black shadows jumped from the ship in panic and fell into the water. Several black shadows climbed onto the boat and heard someone shouting: "I've been trapped, go quickly."

The small boat immediately turned around and headed towards the south bank, but only took a few dozen steps and was surrounded by Han army's fast ships. The famous Han army soldiers held a powerful crossbow and shouted: "Surrender immediately."

The boat stopped, and seven or eight men in black looked at each other and raised their hands one after another. But at this moment, a tall man in black suddenly jumped and jumped into the river, immediately without a trace. Gan Ning was furious. He threw down his halberds and jumped into the river, and quickly disappeared.

Gan Ning was known as the Jinfan thief when he was young, and his water skills were unparalleled in the world. Although he was over forty years old, he was still extremely brave. No matter whether he was fierce in the water or commanding water wars, few people could match him. Only a few water war generals in Jiangdong could barely compete with him.

The soldiers on the ship captured the other seven men in black. He posted military cards from the men in black and found in surprise that these men in black were not, but the Jiangdong naval army.

The Han soldiers suddenly became nervous. More than a dozen naval soldiers jumped into the river to find the main general, while the rest of the soldiers were holding crossbow arrows and searching on the river. Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "It's here."

More than a dozen speedboats immediately surrounded the water, and the waves were rolling on the water. The main general Gan Ning seemed to be fighting fiercely with the enemy. After a moment, the water calmed down. A man in black was thrown onto the speedboat. Gan Ning also jumped onto the ship and shouted: "Tie."

Several soldiers rushed forward and tied the man in black tightly. The man in black fainted by Gan Ning's arm in the water. After a while, he slowly woke up. Gan Ning was also secretly surprised. The man in black was brave in the water, and his martial arts skills were no less than his own. He was captured by himself because he lacked experience. He felt that this man was definitely not an ordinary person.

A soldier whispered in Gan Ning's ear: "Governor, no, it's a soldier in Jiangdong."

Gan Ning was secretly surprised. It turned out to be the Jiangdong naval army. So who was this person? He took a torch in his hand and pulled off the fish-skin mask from the man in black. He was stunned. The brave Jiangdong general in the water turned out to be the general Xu Sheng. When the Sun and Liu families fought against Cao's army in Chibi, Gan Ning and Xu Sheng had dated, and the relationship between them was quite good.

Gan Ning sighed for a long time: "It turns out to be General Xiang, no wonder?"

Xu Sheng lowered his head and said nothing, but he was captured in a missed manner, which made him feel really ashamed. Gan Ning bowed and said, "I can't untie the rope in the river, please forgive me."

Xu Sheng sighed, "I didn't expect it to be you. It's not cowardly to fall into Gan Xingba's hands."

Gan Ning immediately realized that the problem was serious. The Jiangdong Army would never steal a few ships. It must have had major plans. He ordered his subordinates to escort Xu Sheng onto the large ship, lock Xu Sheng into the bottom cabin, and sent people to interrogate the other captured Jiangdong soldiers.

Soon, the interrogator came back to report, "Report to the Governor, the missing cargo ship is currently anchored in Pokou Town, Pengze Lake, but not four, fourteen, and ten other ships were stolen on the return journey, all of which were empty ships, and we don't know at all."

Gan Ning was stunned and actually stole an empty ship. What did Jiang Dongjun want to do? He asked again: "What did they steal so many ships?"

"The soldiers of Jiangdong really don't know what to steal the boat, but..."

"But what," Gan Ning immediately asked.

"One person said that he heard that General Ding Feng was also here and brought two thousand soldiers."

Gan Ningsi couldn't understand it. Apart from Xu Sheng, Ding Feng actually led his army to come. What do they want to do

Gan Ning turned around and looked at Zhou Buyi. He saw Zhou Buyi standing in front of the map with his hands in his arms, staring at Pengze Lake on the map. Gan Ning walked forward and said in a deep voice: "If Sima can't understand, then I will interrogate Xu Sheng."

"Need not"

Zhou Buyi said coldly: "I already know their intention to steal the boat."

"What are their intentions?" Gan Ning asked anxiously.

Zhou Buyi focused on Chaisang with his index finger and said slowly: "If I was right, their target is Chaisang Warehouse. First set fire in the warehouse, and take advantage of the chaos of the Han army, the army outside will then go in to respond."

"Why do you want to steal a boat?"

"It's very simple. There are heavy troops deployed around the Chaisang Warehouse and the guards are tightly protected. Most people cannot enter at all. However, after winter, the damaged cargo ships will usually sail into the warehouse area for repair. Although the boatmen on the ship must leave immediately, as long as they hide in the bottom cabin, they can stay in the warehouse area. The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army will definitely hide in the bottom cabin and sneak into the warehouse area and wait for an opportunity to set fire. They have already stole fourteen large ships, and they are still short of the last one, so they can get together fifteen. Unfortunately, they failed."

"Why must it be a fifteen-ship boat?" Gan Ning still didn't understand.

Zhou Buyi smiled faintly and said, "It is normal for the governor not to understand the key here, but I am Sima. The rules here are made by me personally. I know their purpose. They first have to enter the Chaisang waters. There are only warships and cargo ships that enter the Chaisang waters. If they can't get the warships, then there are only cargo ships. However, a single cargo ship is not allowed to enter the waters, and only a transport fleet can enter. The smallest fleet size must be fifteen. This is the rule I set. If there are less than fifteen ships, they are not allowed to enter the Chaisang waters, or they are strictly investigated."

After stopping for a while, Zhou Buyi pointed to Wuhu and Ruxukou again and said, "Maybe there are still some cargo ships in Jiangdong, but the Han army blocked the Yangtze River in Wuhu and Ruxukou. The cargo ships in Jiangdong could not come at all, so they could only attack the Han army's cargo ships. The Jiangdong army usually steals the empty ships on the return journey. Because the Han army warships were loose at that time, they stole ten empty ships. Since it was almost winter, there were not many cargo ships on the return journey. They couldn't wait, so they began to steal the large ships carrying cargo, and tonight was their last one."

Speaking of this, Zhou Buyi smiled and said, "I know why they are stealing large ships of more than 2,000 stones. Because there are many cargo ships, Chaisang cannot stop all over the place. So last year, I stipulated that when the voyage is off in winter, Chaisang is only allowed to be large ships of more than 2,000 stones, and cargo ships of less than 2,000 stones will be moored to Qichun County."

Zhou Buyi's explanation solved the doubts in Gan Ning's heart, but at this time he had another question. The Qianjiang East Army who was preparing to attack Chaisang must have arrived. Where will they be now?

Gan Ning pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, we must report this matter to His Highness the King of Han immediately."

"We do need to report to His Highness the King of Han, but this is the last ship of the other party. I suspect that the Jiangdong Army is ready. Once they find abnormalities, they may raid Chaisang. I suggest that while reporting to the King of Han, we must immediately take necessary measures against the enemy."

Gan Ning nodded, Zhou Buyi made a point. Such things must be reported to the King of Han, but it is not necessary to get instructions before taking action. It is necessary to annihilate the enemy in a timely manner and eliminate hidden dangers.

However, what should we do next, Gan Ning looked at Zhou Buyi in confusion.

Zhou Buyi understood Gan Ning's confusion and smiled and said, "I'll find a few soldiers to pretend to be boatmen and persuade a few Jiangdong soldiers to surrender, and promise them to benefit. Isn't it clear if I drive an empty boat to Pokou Town, Pengze Lake?"

"But how can Xu Sheng explain?"

Zhou Buyi smiled slightly and whispered a few words to Gan Ning. In this way, Gan Ning nodded slowly. This method is also feasible.

.........

Poyang Lake in the Eastern Han Dynasty was different from now. Large areas of lakes were distributed on both sides of the Yangtze River. The current Poyang Lake area was just a swamp and no lake surface was formed.

Poyang Lake was called Penglize at that time, also known as Gongtingze or Pengze. Chaisang was located on the west bank of Pengze Lake. Po water poured into Pengze, while Qiupu River, a large tributary of the Po water, was poured into the Yangtze River.

That afternoon, a large ship slowly moored by the river outside Pokou Town. Pokou Town is located at the entrance of Powater pouring into Pengze Lake. Although its name is town, it has nothing to do with the town in the traditional sense. There are large swamps on both sides of the river and deserted.

There are many large lands in the swamp, covered with dense forests, and there are few fishermen in life who make a living by fishing.

But at this time, more than a dozen cargo ships were moored by the Po River, all of which were more than 2,000 stones. At this time, the boatman and Jiangdong soldiers on the ship saw a large ship coming from afar and cheered, which meant that they had finally collected fifteen cargo ships.

A small boat came up. The officer on the boat was a military marquis of Jiangdong Army. The small boat was approaching the big ship. The military marquis asked loudly: "General Xu can leave."

A soldier leaned his head and smiled, "General Xu went directly to Chaisang, not in the boat."

The Junhou was surprised and did not dare to ask more questions. He immediately sent someone to notify the chief general Ding Feng.

This time, Jiangdong was preparing to attack the important logistics location of Chaisang. It was an adventure that Sun Quan decided to take when summoned Zhang Zhao in the middle of the night. Of course, it was also a strategy made under the coercion of Cao Cao. Although Jiangdong could not participate in the battle in Hefei, Sun Quan knew very well that once Hefei was captured by the Han army and Cao's army was forced to retreat north, Liu Jing might have an action to wipe out Jiangdong.

What's more, the Han army has now seized Kuaiji and controlled the waterways of the Yangtze River and the lake, which made Sun Quan extremely frightened. After a struggle in his heart, he resolutely decided to take this dangerous move and sent Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to lead a thousand troops to Chaisang to act.

This is, several small boats appeared in the depths of the water seed, and the boats were filled with Jiangdong soldiers. This was Ding Feng leading thousands of troops to appear.
