Chapter 228 Jiangxia Water Thief

Seeing this, Huang Zhong hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold Huang Zu, comforting him, "Sir, don't worry, listen to his report clearly before making a corresponding response."

With Huang Zhong's support, Huang Zu barely stood firm, waved his hand weakly, and said, "What the hell is it? Tell me quickly..."

"General Su Fei urgently reported that the food and supplies he transported from Xiakou were sneak attacked by Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng on the Yangtze River, and most of the food and grass were robbed!" The scout reported.

"It's really a disaster!" Huang Zu sighed to the sky, slumped on the couch, and said to Huang Zhong: "The army's food and food can last for three days. Please arrange the withdrawal of troops as soon as possible... This battle cannot be fought..."

Huang Zhong didn't know who Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were, so he asked the scout: "Who are you talking about **? Is it so powerful?"

The scout replied: "General, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were originally fishermen on the river. Because they were dissatisfied with the taxes of the court, they formed a team to do the unsubstantiated business on the Yangtze River. Because they were very good at water skills, they won over many people. Now they are afraid that there are more than a thousand people and hundreds of ships."

"Oh..." Huang Zhong's brows frowned into a Sichuan shape and said to Huang Zu: "If our army wants to withdraw from Xiakou, we must cross the Yangtze River. If these ** and Zhou Yu collude, then we will be in great danger."

Huang Zudun said: "These **s gathered in the Yangtze River channel for a long time. General Cai Mao, the governor of the Jingzhou naval army, sent troops to fight against each other many times, but they were always slipped away. Unexpectedly, they were brave enough to rob our food and grass! After returning to Xiakou, they would definitely ask General Cai Mao to send heavy troops to kill them!"

When Huang Zhong saw Huang Zu mention Cai Mao all the time, he knew that they were all birds of a feather, so he stopped talking. He called his generals and arranged the selection of the withdrawal route, the steps for withdrawal, etc. one by one.

Seeing that Huang Zhong was taking care of all the matters of the withdrawal of troops in an orderly manner, Huang Zu sighed in his heart: "What a talented general who leads the army. Unfortunately, he is not from our camp. He has to find an excuse to kill him in the future..."

Huang Zu was too lazy to take care of it anymore, but he just ordered his personal soldiers to sort out some of the treasures he had collected in Lujiang this time and asked more people to take care of it. He handled things from top to bottom and had a good time. The expenses in the officialdom were so huge. If you don’t make some extra money and make some war money, how can you live this life...

It was late at night, and most of the people in Huangzu's military camp fell asleep, and only patrol soldiers passed through the camp from time to time. A black shadow floated quietly with the help of the shadow of the tent. He was wearing black clothes and his face was also surrounded by black scarves, revealing only two eyes and one nostril, but those eyes were filled with energy, and he could tell that he was a martial arts master at a glance.

This person is a small leader in the intelligence force "Ye Yu" secretly formed by Zhou Yu, named Ishikawa. Ishikawa was originally from Moling, Danyang County. He became a famous teacher since he was a child, learned a good martial arts, and then walked around the world.

The former Danyang prefect Wu Jing saw that Ishikawa was very skilled in martial arts and was willing to recruit him to deal with the "Fuhu Sect" in Caozhuang. However, Ishikawa and Wu Jing did not make a fuss, so they refused to see each other when they saw Wu Jing. Later, Ishikawa met Cao Wei, the rising star in the "Fuhu Sect". The two fell in love with each other at first sight and looked like a match.

After Zhou Yu led his troops to capture Moling, Ishikawa was introduced to Zhou Yu by Cao Wei. Seeing that Ishikawa was very skilled in martial arts and calm, Zhou Yu handed over the important task of forming the "Ye Yu" branch to Ishikawa. Ishikawa was impressed by Zhou Yu's style and immediately agreed. After that, he worked hard and did a lot of important things for Zhou Yu.

Tonight, Ishikawa risked a huge danger to sneak into the camp of the Jingzhou soldiers in order to obtain important information. One of his subordinates had been lurking in Huang Zhong's army and got the position of a captain. Today, they informed Ishikawa with their unique contact method that the enemy was going to retreat. He had already drawn the route map for the retreat, but he could not pass it out of the camp, so Ishikawa would come to take it late at night.

Ishikawa's figure rose and fell apart and came next to a tent. The tent was ordinary, with a red flag inside and a word "Xie" written on it. It was exactly where his subordinate Xie Qin was.

Ishikawa hid in the shadow of the tent, put his hands on his lips, imitating the grasshopper and screamed a few times. His figure had already melted into the darkness, and he could not see it without looking carefully.

After a while, a thin roll of paper was quietly pushed out from the gap between the tent and the ground. Ishikawa observed the surroundings carefully, and saw that there was nothing unusual about the lightness of his skills floating by the tent, and he put the roll in his arms.

Then, Ishikawa's figure rose and fell a few times and disappeared into the vast night. None of the soldiers patrolling back and forth in the barracks noticed anything unusual.

Xiakou is an important town in Jiangxia County.

Xiakou is located below the Han River and enters the Yangtze River. Since the Han River is called Xia River from Mianyang in ancient times, it is named Xia River. Xiakou is located north of the Yangtze River and has a very dangerous terrain. There is a city built here, firmly controlling the entrance of the Han River.

Su Feiku sat on the Xiakou City Tower and looked at the Yangtze River. He saw hundreds of boats competing on the river, and white sails dotted. The scenery was very beautiful, but Su Fei's mood fell to the bottom.

Just yesterday, the grain and grass he was in charge of escorting was crossing the river under the escort of the Jingzhou navy. Hundreds of "water ghosts" emerged from somewhere. They lurked in the river, holding sharp blades, just waiting for the warship to pass by, then drilled through the bottom of the ship and then snorted away. In this way, more than a hundred ships of grain and grass were swallowed by the surging river water.

"Master Huang Zu is still waiting for the emergency to help the food and grass. This has been a delay in the military opportunity!" Su Fei thought about it and patrolled his head hard. Although he ordered people to prepare food and grass again today, and coordinated the addition of patrol naval ships. However, it will take time for all the food and grass to be on board. It is too late, and only tomorrow will be able to travel.

Su Fei didn't know that the grain and grass he escorted yesterday went down the river water and reached a bend, but were obtained by the Jiangxia water thief who had been rampant in the water for a long time. Hundreds of strong men were busy taking bags of grain from the water with a hook and putting it into the boat. Some even sneaked into the water and lifting the grain bags half-sinked in the river water out of the water so that the men on the boat could take them away.

On the banks of the river, hundreds of men were busy carrying grain bags, then opened the grain bags, pouring the white grains on a flat place to dry.
