Compared with the lives of a warship and hundreds of soldiers, even if the money Bingzhou paid was objective, it would be difficult to make up for this loss. Besides, the warships were lost. It is still a matter of giving or not giving the money.

Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, was a little skeptical when he received Cai Hao's order. What I got from Cai Hao's words was that these three boats and fifteen boats would belong to Jingzhou.

As the prefect of Jiangxia, Huang Zu cautiously led ten warships out to meet, and the remaining sergeants stayed on their ground. He fought the Jiangdong Army a lot. He understood the cunning of the Jiangdong Army. If the Jiangdong Army took the opportunity to occupy Jiangxia, it would be sinful. It's big.

What made Huang Zu strange was that after waiting for a long time, only a ship appeared on the opposite side. From the flag on the ship, it could be judged that it was the Bingzhou Army.

"You take someone up to ask." Huang Zu ordered.

"The ship stopped, where are you from, why are you in Jiangxia?" A warship approached the building, and the lieutenant on the warship shouted.

Dianwei stepped forward and replied: "I am a general under the command of the Jin Hou, and I was ordered to bring the warship back to Jiangxia."

When Huang Zu heard the words, he no longer hesitated, and ordered the navy to greet him. The opponent had only one ship, and he could not use any means.

"I am Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, dare to ask the general why there is only one upstairs ship?" Huang Zu wondered after the warship approached.

"Huang Taishou, I am Dian Wei, the guard leader of the Jin Hou, and I was ordered to take over the warship sent by Jiangdong. Unexpectedly, I met a group of strongmen on the way and robbed the warship. I also hope that Huang Taishou can send troops there. Recover the warship." Dian Wei said anxiously.

"They are Jinfan thief." Jiangdong's general added.

"Jinfan Thief?" Huang Zu felt a warning. Gan Ning, the leader of Jinfan Thief, is now in the Jingzhou army. Could it be that Jingzhou made a secret attack this time, and wanted to get the warship that originally belonged to the combined state. At this time, Gan Ning led his troops. The escape from Xiangyang did not reach Jiangxia, and Gan Ning was not a big man in Xiangyang.

Huang Zu is the most familiar with the Jinfan Thief. In the past, Gan Ning worked under his account, but he was extremely disdainful of the banditry revealed in Gan Ning's body, so he did not reuse it, but Gan Ning's skills are still very good. Sure, the Jinfan thieves under him are all masters on the river. If they attack, they are very likely to succeed.

Huang Zu looked at Jiang Dong's general and snorted coldly, "Are you Jiang Dong's soldier?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers behind him directed their bows and arrows at the people on the boat upstairs.

"Premier Huang must not misunderstand, and the state sergeant is not familiar with the warship, so he asked the Jiangdong Army to send some soldiers to escort." Dianwei explained.

"General Dian is worried about the warship, and the officer can understand it, but at this time the sky is going to be late and the river is vast. It is not easy to find the Jinfan thief. It is better to go to the city to rest before discussing." Huang Zu said.

General Jiangdong looked embarrassed and clasped his fist, saying: "General Dian, now that the warship is in trouble, I am extremely ashamed of my humble duty. I hope that the general will let me wait to return to Jiangdong." From Huang Zu's attitude, he can feel that if he arrives in Jiangxia City, That is definitely a situation of death and no life.

Huang Zu said coldly: "When you arrive in Jiangxia, what can you say?" He doesn't have any good feelings for Jiangdong Army. Jiangdong has always coveted Jiangxia, and Sun Ce has led his troops to attack Jiangxia many times. The soldiers on both sides have already complained. deep.

Dianwei said: "Premier Huang, the Jiangdong Army is also to **** the warship, so I bother Huang Taishou to send a small boat to let them go back. If it is necessary to spend, all will come and go."

Huang Zu pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

General Jiangdong dared to bargain. A dozen people got on the boat and galloped towards Jiangdong. The warship that came when he came was also robbed by Ganning. He just wanted to ask Dianwei for a warship, but he didn't dare to propose it. .

"Premier Huang, the eighteen warships were taken away by the Jinfan thieves. After returning, this general didn't know how to explain to the Jinhou." Dian Wei said with a sad face.

"General Dian, it's not that the officer is unwilling to help, but there are so many places to hide on the river. The Jinfan thief is extremely cunning. The officer has tried to send troops to conquer many times, but he can't trace it. This time they got it. Battleship, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with." Huang Zu was sad on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart.

Dian Wei glanced at Huang Zu contemptuously. Gan Ning had served in Jiangxia before. He didn't believe that Huang Zu would not know him. Now with this face, he made it clear that he didn't want to recover the warship that belonged to Bingzhou.

"This warship will be placed here for the time being Huang Taishou, goodbye."

"Why is General Dian in such a hurry, it's too late today, why don't you rest in the city first." Huang Zuwan said.

"There was an accident in the battleship, the general should go back and plead guilty. If you get news from the Jinfan thief, Huang Taishou can send someone to pass the letter to the Bingzhou army. Thank you." Dian Wei finished his words and led the turbulence on the battleship with a pale face. The guards left.

Huang Zu's expression couldn't hide his smile. Gan Ning got these warships, isn't it from Jingzhou? Use Jiangdong warships to equip the Jingzhou navy to attack them, think about it All felt very happy, but the subsequent news from Xiangyang made Huang Zu lose his good mood.

After Dianwei returned to Xiangyang, the news that the warship of the state was robbed by the Jinfan thief also spread like wildfire in the city. Lu Bu's heavy punishment of the guard leader Dianwei also spread among the princes, and Lu Bu could clearly feel it. The princes looked at him a little bit more jokingly, but he even pretended to be angry.

When Cai Hao learned of this, he also comforted Lu Bu. The boat docked in Jiangxia was bought by Jingzhou. There were three boats and fifteen boats. In a blink of an eye, only one boat remained. It won't be easy to put the matter on anyone. Cai Hao also secretly suspected that this incident was a secret action by Jingzhou, but from the information received, Gan Ning lost contact with Jingzhou after escaping from Xiangyang City, making it even more annoying. Doubt it.

The news of the Jinfan Thief, the princes only need to inquire a little to know that Gan Ning was a general of the Jingzhou Army before, this is undeniable.

Smoothly allowing Gan Ning to obtain eighteen warships, without arousing suspicion from others, Lu Bu was quite content, even if some people saw something, what if there is no evidence, not to mention the Jinfan Thief was originally from Jingzhou, Lu Bu I'm also planning to ask Jingzhou for an explanation.

After Liu Biao got the news, he hurriedly ordered someone to go to the army to explain it. He also secretly sighed that Lu Bu's bad luck, not long after being assassinated outside the city, encountered such a thing again.

Let's also say that after Huang Zhong got the news that there was a genius doctor in Xiangyang, he hurriedly applied for leave to Changsha prefect Han Xuan. Over the years, Huang Zhong visited famous doctors in Changsha for his son Huang Xu's affairs, but these doctors were helpless in the face of Huang Xu's illness. They had never seen such a disease, so they could only prescribe some prescriptions to restore the body.
