Peng Gan, courtesy name Shubao, was born in Yuanzhou. He was the grandson of Peng Ti and a native of Jizhou. He, together with Zhong Chuan, Wei Quanxi, Lu Guangchou, Tan Quanbo and others, were known as the heroes of Jiangyou. When he was young, he was studious and proficient in classics. At that time, the world was in chaos.

, Peng Gan became a county official because of his low family status. However, he had always had great ambitions and was unhappy with official duties, so he returned to farming. Later, he broke up his family and sold his property, and gathered people in the nearby Wangling Mountain to smelt weapons, make armor, and compete with others.

His brother Peng Yao and others initiated the recruitment of righteous troops, and more than 500 warriors were obtained. He appointed himself as the leader, set up a supporting general, established a command, and dominated the countryside. The county learned about this, but the government did not dare to prohibit it.

In the fifth year of Qianfu's reign, Huang Chao led his army into Jiangxi and successively attacked Qianzhou, Jizhou, Raozhou, Xinzhou and other places. At that time, it was reported that the local soldiers had taken control of Hongzhou and other places, and he was awarded the title of Zhennan Army Jiedu Envoy by the Tang Dynasty.

He was the governor of eight states in Jiangxi, but could not control the situation. Fuzhou people Wei Quanxi raised troops in Fuzhou, and Peng Gan took the opportunity to raise troops in Jizhou. They all made friends with Zhong Chuan, so Zhong Chuan relied on him and reported to Xizong that Ren Weiquan

He was appointed governor of Fuzhou and appointed Peng Gan as governor of Jizhou.

After Peng Gan returned to Jizhou, he expanded the city, farmed and trained soldiers, and strictly prohibited gambling. The Li family in the same county gathered at home for gambling, and Peng Gan immediately killed them. Several soldiers also committed theft, and Peng Gan killed them in the city and ordered the common people to kill them.

He must carry out his orders, strictly enforce laws and regulations, and does not violate firewood harvesting, so he is very popular among the people. Peng Ganya is good at Confucianism and is proficient in Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals. He tries his best to recruit talents and recruits scribes, and many people return. Li Yu, a penman in Guangling, is good at writing.

Poetry. Peng Gan once wrote to Li Yu, offering him ten taels of platinum to buy a lump sum. He also ordered Li Yu to visit the Five Classics in stone, and paid him a hundred taels of platinum for each volume. People in Guangling rumored among themselves: "Peng Gan exchanged ten taels of platinum for a lump sum, and he paid a hundred taels of platinum for each volume."

The reward is a roll, let alone getting a scholar!" So Cai Mo and several others came to vote, and Peng Gan's strength greatly increased.

Jizhou and Qianzhou are not far apart, and Lu Guangchou has been worried that Peng Gan will raise troops to attack. In a flash of inspiration, he came up with a plan to cause trouble to Jiangdong. Tan Quanbo naturally understood the idea and even called him a wise man. Later, Lu Guangchou ordered Tan Quanbo to lead the army personally.

He brought cattle, sheep, fish, gold, silver, treasures, and food supplies to reward Liu Jianfeng's army.

Liu Jianfeng received the great news and ordered everyone to accept the order. Then he, Zhang Ji, Ma Yin and Gao Yu met with Tan Quanbo. Liu Jianfeng asked: "Do you all understand what I want?" Tan Quanbo replied: "We already know.

It's just that the land in our state is barren and the people are poor. If the supply time is short, maybe we can barely do it. But as time goes by, we won't be able to do everything. As you have come all the way, you can also see that there are high mountains and mountains everywhere here, and there are not many fields. At the same time,

It is located in a remote place and merchants are not prosperous."

Liu Jianfeng said angrily: "So, you are going to reject my request? You will regret it when I break your city." Tan Quanbo, however, was not afraid and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "The courage of your army,

Of course we know. But Commander, please think about it. You are all from the north. Even if you can break the city, what will happen next? My family, Lu Gong, has been governing Qianzhou for several years and has won the hearts of the people. The people will not sincerely surrender to you. When you arrive

It's like sitting on top of a stove, it won't last long. Such a lose-lose thing is probably not what you want. Besides, your recent actions have basically eliminated the bad reputation of Cai Thief, so why let the previous efforts be in vain?"

Ma Yin was secretly surprised and looked at him with admiration. He said: "We had no intention of capturing your city. It's just that our army has traveled a long distance and needs to rest for a few months. As long as you supply our army for a few months, we will leave after resting.

During this period, we will not harass you or the people. But if you are not willing to agree to this, then it will be a helpless move for us to occupy the city. As for what you said, the people will not be convinced. We naturally know this. But we

We have no plans to station troops here for a long time, so this will have little impact on us."

When Tan Quanbo heard that Ma Yin's tone had softened, he was secretly relieved. After all, he didn't want to really fight against the fierce Caizhou soldiers. After they had a battle, they could just pat their butts and leave. The ruined stall would still have to be

You can take care of it yourself. If you can avoid weapons and have more money and food, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as a loss of money and avoid disaster.

Tan Quanbo then said: "As General Ma said, within half a year, this state can still be sustained. But here is a suggestion for your reference. Jizhou to the north of here is extremely rich. You generals can send people there to have a look. If

If you can get their supplies, your army will naturally have no worries from now on." Gao Yu said with a smile: "General Tan's plan to divert trouble is quite clever. Even if you don't say it, we will go. It's just that we have to go within the next six months.

I’m counting on you, I wonder if that’s okay?”

Tan Quanbo thought to himself, can I not agree? But finally they said they would only stay for half a year, and then they would encourage them to go to Jizhou. Tan Quanbo made up his mind and said immediately: "Of course there is no problem with this, but I would like to ask you to move to Wanan in the north.

Town, I wonder if that's okay?" Gao Yu smiled and said, "General Tan is really smart and wants us to guard the border for you." Ma Yin said, "Since we have taken your money, we should naturally take on some responsibility for you.

If anyone dares to invade us while we are here, our army will serve."

Tan Quanbo originally did not expect Liu Jianfeng to agree, he just wanted to try his best. Especially when his plan was revealed by Gao Yu, he felt that it was even more impossible. He did not expect Ma Yin to agree, which was a big surprise to Tan Quanbo. As a result, Tan Quanbo had special respect for Ma Yin.

Deliberately making friends. So when he was in danger again, he asked Ma Yin for help. This is a later story, so I won’t mention it.

Tan Quanbo was overjoyed and thanked Ma Yin and others.

Tan Quanbo left Qianzhou with Liu Jianfeng's army and settled in Wanan. Tan Quanbo then rushed back to Qianzhou and reported to Lu Guangchou. After that, the two sides got along well. Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo often invited Liu Jianfeng and Ma Yin

The others went to Qianzhou City to gather and have a drink. However, the surrounding people who originally coveted Qianzhou saw that Lu Guangchou had a brave guest army, so they did not dare to invade.

After Liu Jianfeng, Ma Yin and others went south from Xuanzhou, they traveled non-stop all the way. When they arrived in Wanan, they finally had a quiet life for a while. Since they collected a lot of money along the way, they had plenty of food. In addition, Lu Guangchou visited Lu Guangchou every month.

supply, Liu Jianfeng recruited troops again. Soon after, the army under his command reached 50,000. At this time, Ma Yin also gained a harvest. Xinglan gave birth to a daughter. Ma Yin was overjoyed and named his eldest daughter Yanmei, hoping that she would grow up.

Beautiful as a flower.

Half a year later, Liu Jianfeng saw that his strength had greatly increased, so he discussed with Zhang Ji, Ma Yin, and Gao Yu. Gao Yu had already integrated into the team. With his advice and promotion, coupled with Ma Yin's vigorous rectification, this team became a ferocious team.

The famous team has undergone great changes. Although there are occasionally some excessive actions, and it can't be said to be a benevolent and righteous team, it has finally shed its name as the Caizhou Warcraft Legion.

After all, Liu Jianfeng was not a particularly cruel person, he was just a drunkard and a womanizer. He basically handed over the army to Zhang Ji, and Ma Yin was in charge. Zhang Ji was a scholar, and making plans was his specialty. The army was mostly run by Ma Yin.

Yin was in charge, so Ma Yin gained increasing prestige and power in the army. His trusted generals Yao Yanzhang, Li Qiong, and Wang Huan had now become commanders of five thousand troops.

Liu Jianfeng said to Ma Yin and others: "We have stayed here for too long. It is too remote. I think it is time to implement Mr. Gao's plan in Xuanzhou and go north to Hongzhou immediately. What do you think?" Gao

Yu said: "Although we have 50,000 troops now, we are still not completely sure of capturing Hongzhou. There is really no need to stay in Qianzhou anymore. We can go to Jizhou first. On the one hand, it is closer to Hongzhou, and on the other hand, we can go to Jizhou first.

I have made inquiries and found that Jizhou is indeed richer than Qianzhou. When we get there, we will continue to expand our troops and inquire about the situation in Hongzhou. If there is an opportunity, we can attack Hongzhou directly." Since Gao Yu also agreed to leave Qianzhou, Zhang

Ji, Ma Yin has no objection.

Liu Jianfeng immediately sent someone to inform Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo that he would lead his army to leave Qianzhou and go north to Jizhou. Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo learned that the group was finally leaving, and the big stone that had been hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

The people hurriedly came to see them off in person, and Ma Yin said to them: "Thank you for your care over the past six months. Ma Yin can't thank you enough. If necessary in the future, you can send someone to inform you. As long as Ma Yin can do it, he will do it himself."

Do your best.”

Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo naturally thanked Ma Yin profusely, but they disagreed in their hearts. They did not expect that Ma Yin's words came true. A few years later, Tan Quanbo was besieged on all sides and had to ask Ma Yin for help. After half a year of rest, Liu Jianfeng's army was now strong. The army was strong.

Coming roaring, no one from anywhere along the way dared to compete. Liu Jianfeng and others soon arrived at the foot of Jizhou City.

Peng Gan of Jizhou had already received the news and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures. General Liu Yan said: "They are just a group of bandits. There is no need to worry, Sir. When the general comes to lead an elite army to fight, we will definitely be able to defeat them."

They went back to their hometown."

Peng Gan's younger brother Peng Yao said quickly: "No. It is said that they are brave and good at fighting, and there are several famous generals among them. Ma Yin, Wang Huan, Li Qiong, Qin Yanhui and others are all heroes who have won the championship in the three armies. Zhang Ji and Gao Yu are outstanding in resourcefulness.

Therefore, Lu Guangchou did not dare to offend, and tried his best to provide supplies, but instead used them to defend us. We can also treat them as guest troops like Lu Guangchou, treat them with courtesy, and ask them to garrison in the north."

Liu Yan said displeasedly: "Then we appear to be too weak and can be bullied?" Peng Yao said: "There is nothing we can do about it. If we don't give in, we will inevitably fight with them. Of course we have

With the advantage of fighting locally, we may not necessarily lose to them completely. But it is impossible for us to completely defeat them with our strength. In this case, it will inevitably be a fierce battle. Not only will both sides suffer losses, but also the lives of the people will be devastated and the people will be displaced."

Peng Gan thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "You are right. If we lose some money and food and avoid a war, then there will be no problem. But what I am worried about is that they will take the opportunity to occupy our city. Then we

Just open the door to welcome the robber and lure the wolf into the house, only to regret it when the time comes."

Peng Yao said: "Don't worry about this. They went south from Xuanzhou and passed through the prefectures and prefectures all the way. They had no intention of occupying the city. Otherwise, with their strength, it would be easy for them to occupy several states and counties. With me

It seems that they are just accumulating strength and have a bigger plan."

Peng Gan asked: "Then what do you think they are planning?" Peng Yao said: "Judging from their route of travel, their ultimate goal is to seize Hongzhou. But now they think they are not strong enough and dare not act rashly. They

After all, they have seen big events and will not be interested in a remote place like ours. Only a big city like Hongzhou is suitable for their appetite. We might as well help them increase their strength and encourage them to capture Hongzhou."

Peng Gan thought for a long time and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, let's do it as you want. But we must also be prepared to let everyone

The army is on tight alert. Peng Yao, let's take the initiative and don't wait for them to come to us. You can take the place of my brother and go to meet them with wine, meat, money, food and grass. At the same time, negotiate with them and ask them to garrison in Jishui Town to the north.

"Peng Yao responded.

Early the next morning, Peng Yao led a team of people out of the city with a large amount of supplies to meet Liu Jianfeng's army. Peng Yao didn't go far when he saw flags fluttering and dust flying in front of him. Peng Yao immediately pushed the supplies away.

To the side, he stood by the roadside, waiting for the arrival of Liu Jianfeng and others. After a while, Liu Jianfeng's vanguard arrived in front of Peng Yao. The leader was Ma Yin's general Wang Huan.

When Wang Huan saw Peng Yao, he immediately asked: "Who are you?" Peng Yao said: "I am Peng Yao, the younger brother of Peng Gan, the governor of Jizhou. On the order of my brother, I came to greet and reward the three armies. What is the name of the general?" Wang Huan

Huan said: "The last general is Wang Huan, who is under the command of General Ma. In that case, please wait here while I send someone to inform General Ma and Marshal Liu." Wang Huan immediately sent a soldier to report.

After a while, Liu Jianfeng, Ma Yin and Zhang Ji arrived on horseback. Wang Huan introduced Peng Yao one by one, and Peng Yao quickly saluted the three of them. Liu Jianfeng first asked people to collect the things, and then said: "General Peng will welcome you from afar.

I wonder if the camp has been prepared for us." Peng Yao said: "I learned that your army is coming, and my brother has already prepared everything in Jishui Town. Please lead your army and follow me."

When Liu Jianfeng saw that Peng Gan came on his own initiative without waiting for him to send someone to notify him, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, please lead the way, General Peng." After a while, everyone arrived at Jishui Town and quickly settled down. Liu Jianfeng and others

He invited Peng Yao to come over for discussion. After everyone sat down, Liu Jianfeng said to Peng Yao: "General Peng, I wonder if you are clear about our purpose?"

Peng Yan said: "I would also like to ask Marshal Liu to make it clear." Liu Jianfeng said: "Our army passed by your place, and I didn't want to disturb you more. It's just that our army has been marching continuously recently and has been exhausted. Therefore, I would like to use your place to rest for a few months. Of course, I also hope that

Your country can supply some military supplies to our army. Is it possible?"

Peng Yao said: "If that's all, there is no problem. All generals are heroes who are famous all over the world. My brother has always wanted to make friends with others, but he just didn't have a chance to meet him. We are deeply honored to have you come to our place today. Supply

We will take full responsibility for the matter. However, we hope that your army will not disturb the people. If you have any problems, you can contact us directly to discuss and resolve. Of course, if anyone here voluntarily joins your army, we will naturally not stop it. I wonder if you heroes can understand it.

Affection?"

Liu Jianfeng laughed loudly and said: "Of course it's okay, just do it as we did when we were stationed in Qianzhou. In this way, we can live in harmony. I can promise that if you can supply the right supplies, our army will naturally not harass you.

People, we will not be stationed here for a long time, no more than half a year at most. In half a year, we will leave." Peng Yao was overjoyed and said: "In this case, please rest here for a day. I will return to the city immediately and pay my respects to you.

Brother, please report." After Peng Yao finished speaking, he said goodbye and left. Peng Yao returned to the city and reported the truth to Peng Gan. Peng Gan finally felt relieved when he learned that Liu Jianfeng had no intention of occupying the city.

Early the next morning, Peng Gan personally came to Jishui Town to meet Liu Jianfeng and others, and warmly invited Liu Jianfeng, Zhang Ji and Ma Yin to come to the city. He wanted to take care of the three of them. Liu Jianfeng accepted it happily, but Zhang Ji was worried about something unexpected.

, excused his physical discomfort and took the initiative to stay in the army. Peng Gan also understood that he was worried about himself, which was reasonable. It was impossible for all the three giants in their army to leave the military camp at once.

Liu Jianfeng and Ma Yin followed Peng Gan into Jizhou City. Peng Gan held a banquet, invited all the generals to accompany him, and entertained them warmly. For a while, the light and the chips were intertwined, and it was very lively. However, Liu Yan was still a little unhappy, always feeling that this was too soft.

Dan. Liu Yan drank for a while and said to Liu Jianfeng under the influence of alcohol: "I have heard for a long time that there are many masters in Caizhou's army. I wonder who in your army has the highest martial arts. I would like to see it."

Peng Gan shouted quickly: "Liu Yan, please don't be rude." Liu Jianfeng naturally understood that Liu Yan was dissatisfied, so he said: "There is no need for Governor Peng to be angry. Military generals all have their own personalities. Since this general has this elegance, then he

How about asking my vanguard commander to perform a sword dance for fun?" Liu Jianfeng winked at Ma Yin. Ma Yin nodded slightly, immediately pulled out his sword and walked into the hall.

Liu Yan also stood up and said: "Let General Ma dance the sword alone, it is too lonely and not exciting. The young general is willing to accompany you." After Liu Yan finished speaking, he also drew his sword and came to Ma Yin. Peng Gan was about to

After Liu Yan was dismissed, Liu Jianfeng stopped him and said, "Don't worry, Sir, the two generals will be fine. We might as well appreciate them." Liu Jianfeng knew Ma Yin's martial arts, and he just hoped that Ma Yin would suppress these people with a sword to prevent them from getting into trouble.

Bad thoughts.

Ma Yin then raised his hand to Liu Yan and said, "General Liu, please!" Liu Yan was not polite and said, "General Ma, look at the sword!" After saying that, he swung his sword and struck straight at Ma Yin. Ma Yin

Seeing that he was coming menacingly, he ducked out of the way and raised his sword to slash Liu Yan's waist. The two of them immediately started fighting with their swords gleaming. After a few moves, Ma Yin discovered that Liu Yan's martial arts was not weak.
