Today's Jiangxia City is very uneasy because a general who came from the main city of Xiangyang in the northern border of Jingzhou will lead the 10,000 elite navy in Xiangyang to arrive at noon.

Faced with such a powerful combat force sent from Xiangyang, even Huang Zu, who was the chief of a county, could not help but lead various civil and military officials in the city to greet the city gate.

The leader of this team is nothing but one of the generals Liu Bei relied on.

——Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng.

It was already noon, and in the distance, a long black line slowly caught the eyes of the civil and military officials of Jiangxia on the horizon several miles outside the North City Gate.

As the distance between the soldiers and Jiangxia City continued to narrow, the thin black line became thicker and thicker, and the sense of pressure became stronger and stronger.

Even Huang Zu and other Jiang Xia civil and military officials were several miles away, their feelings about the powerful power came from the heart, becoming more and more obvious.

Ten thousand black armored soldiers arrived in a blink of an eye before Jiangxia City Gate. They were the leader of the general riding a tall brown-stying horse. They were wearing gray chain armor, lion-headed battle helmet, holding a golden sword in his hand, and long beard and white on his chest. Although they had many wrinkles on their faces, their faces were red and healthy, and their muscles were strong, which made the silk that was not wrapped in armor on their arms crazily and wanted to burst, and they were like an old and strong spokesperson.

The person who came was none other than Liu Bei's powerful general, Huang Zhong, the general of Jingzhou.

When Huang Zhong saw Huang Zu, he was not proud, so he turned over and dismounted, saluted respectfully at Huang Zu, and said, "I have seen the prefect. I am the order of the lord and the emperor Liu to lead the Xiangyang navy and fry to 10,000 stones to come to Jiangxia. First, to help the prefect to suppress the bandits and suppress the bandits, and second, to condolence the people of Jiangxia on behalf of Liu Jingzhou."

Huang Zhong spoke in detail, although he was ordered by Liu Bei, but he still regarded Liu Biao as the most important thing in his words and thoughts, which shows that he was not an ordinary reckless man.

Huang Zu showed joy on his face, stepped forward and held Huang Zhong's hand, and smiled and said, "The old general came to Jiangxia, the prefect is worry-free! The Ganning Water Pirates will be defeated this time! Huang has already arranged a banquet in the mansion to welcome the old general. The old general has worked hard all the way, please follow me into the city."

Huang Zhong laughed, his gray beard shook slightly. He said, "Huang Zhong, a martial artist, has come here this time, but it has caused trouble for the prefect. However, the banquet is not urgent. I just said that one of the tasks of coming this time is to bring tens of stones of grain to comfort the people of Jiangxia. I hope the prefect will be more convenient and send people to recruit the people of Jiangxia. In the empty space, I can also let my subordinates distribute food."

Huang Zu nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "The old general loves the people so much, which is really a blessing for the people of Jiangxia... Li Song quickly ordered people to make arrangements. Let the old general's subordinates give to the people!"

Beside Huang Zu, Li Song nodded quickly and said yes.

When Huang Zhong saw that Huang Zu had done the food distribution, he felt at ease, but before leaving, Liu Bei gave thousands of instructions. The first thing he did when he arrived in Jiangxia was to distribute food to win the hearts of the people and strive to restore the people's hopes that had been lost due to delaying the suppression of the thieves.

The way to win people's hearts. If Liu Bei dared to be the second, no one in the world would dare to be the first.

After the food distribution was arranged, Huang Zhong and Huang Zu joined the city side by side. On the way to the prefect's mansion, Huang Zhong first casually made a few polite words, and then went straight to the point.

"Premier Huang, I am here to wipe out Gan Ning, a lord of Han River gangster. I heard that the prefect's subordinates had competed with Gan Ning in the previous period. I wonder what this person's ability and how much combat power is under his command?"

When Huang Zu heard this, his face turned red and turned red to the bottom of his ears.

His troops under him were defeated by Gan Ning several times the opponent. No matter what, it was not a glorious thing that Huang Zu could show off at will. If he could not say it, Huang Zu really didn't want to take on this matter.

But Huang Zhong asked the question, how could Huang Zu not answer?

"The old general, I'm not sure about it. Although Gan Ning is a thief, he is cunning and has some courage. Although his soldiers are less than a thousand, they are all powerful thieves who have lived in the Yangtze River for a long time. In the past, Huang sent four generals under his command to lead elite soldiers to fight. It was a matter of being sure to win, but he didn't expect that the thief was too vicious. He even used the trick of defeating fire attack to burn the elite soldiers of Jiangxia to a piece of armor without leaving any armor. Although Jiangxia still has troops, the thieves had no place to live on the river and were difficult to find. The soldiers and generals of this prefect have to be wary of Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu at all times and cannot send all the troops to find the bandits. In desperation, they had to hurry to Xiangyang. I felt so ashamed!"

Huang Zhong heard this and nodded, saying, "If it were as Huang Taishu, Gan Ning was not a good guy, and I must be careful to deal with it... Well, in the future, I will lead 10,000 naval troops and use the warships of the prefect stationed in Jiangxia to go to the Han River to find the thieves to kill him. However, Gan Ning was cunning, and he was afraid that he would not be able to destroy him for a while. I hope the prefect would provide more food and grass to prepare for the supply of soldiers."

Huang Zu nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, the old general, you just want to leave the matter behind to this prefect! As long as you can apart from this evil thief, money, food, and weapons, everything is easy to say."

Huang Zhong nodded when he heard this, and suddenly seemed to think of something again.

But when the old man touched the white beard on his chin, he said curiously: "Premier Huang, Gan Ning, since he has such ability, why not surrender to him? He can defeat the regular navy several times his own with less than a thousand people. He must not be an ordinary person who robs his family. He must have ambitions!"

When Huang Zu heard this, his face suddenly turned red again.

"Gan Ning is a man who is stubborn and vicious. If he is attracted, that... must be a disaster, or a killer! It's a killer..."

Huang Zhong listened to Huang Zu's completely denial of Gan Ning, looked at his face and seemed to have some enlightenment in his heart. He didn't say much, but just nodded with a smile.

"Then I will listen to the prefect. I will not recruit Gan Ning, but I will just kill him."

******************************************

After Huang Zhong came to Jiangxia, he was instructed by Liu Bei to spread food and grass to win the hearts of the people, and prepared military horses and repaired warships so that he could go on the war at any time. The news and specific actions of the man who came to Jiangxia had been investigated clearly by Hu Ren and his spies, and reported it to Yuan Shang early.

Since Yuan Shang had a clear idea of ​​Huang Zhong's actions, he began to gently knock on the abacus.

On this day, Yuan Shang still went to Li Song's Weishou on time, and was just as Li Song fiddled with his fingers with a bitter look on his face and pouted his mouth to calculate the food and grass accounts one by one.

"Mr. Li, have you eaten?" Yuan Shang asked with a smile.

Li Song raised his head and saw that it was Yuan Shang. He waved his hand and said, "What are you eating? I'm not in the mood... I'm born to work hard and have to worry about something bad. Come on, Yuan San, sit, sit..."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Yuan Shang found Li Song and knelt down and sat down, then glanced at the bamboo slips on his desk, and said, "Mr. Li, are you going to settle the accounts? Do you need to help me?"

Li Song waved his hand gently and said, "No, this is the grain account that Huang Zhong is preparing to conquer Gan Ning. Every transaction is military expenses. The prefect is very careful and I don't feel at ease to hand it over to anyone."

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Li has such a status and will always be personally responsible for everything. He is really a good example for his subordinates to learn from... a role model."

Li Song was amused when he heard this, "Take it down, don't make fun of me... By the way, Yuan San, you are so smart, please help me think about it. This time Huang Zhong led 10,000 troops to conquer Gan Ning. What's the outcome?"

Yuan Shang laughed and said, "Although Gan Ning is one of the few outstanding generals, from the perspective below, Huang Zhong surpassed him in terms of force, military strategy, number of soldiers, leadership and experience. The only thing that is not as good as Gan Ning is his age, but it can be ignored. In this battle, Gan Ning will definitely be defeated."

Li Song heard this and said, "Yes. If Gan Ning was defeated, the strategy I offered in the previous episode would be successful. I believe the prefect will rely more and more on me in the future. Yuan San, this is all your credit!"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Li, in fact, according to the following point of view, you, the food supply of Huang Zhong, will also have the opportunity to participate in this battle. If you can offer some good strategies and military merits in this battle, Huang Taishou will definitely be more impressed by you in the future!"

Li Song woke up and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I can't even think of it if you don't say it. It's good! In this war, Governor Li's logistics important matters. If he can achieve some achievements, he will definitely......... in the future."

Speaking of this, Li Song suddenly woke up and said, "No, Yuan San, you have to follow me in the supervision of food and grass!"

However, Li Song understood that his ability was not as good as that of the young little merchant in front of him. Without his help, it would be difficult to establish military achievements...

Before he knew it, Li Song had already regarded Yuan Shang as his right-hand man.

Yuan Shang knew in his heart why Li Song wanted him to follow his governor's food and grass, and this was also his real purpose for coming here today. However, Yuan Shang still pretended to be confused and smiled.

"I am just a member of my subordinates, but I am still a newcomer. I am afraid it is inconvenient for me to follow the matter of supervising food and grass?"

Li Song waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hey, what's inconvenience? I said it's convenient. You just follow me. In the face of such a big thing, Li will not be left to you!"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and bowed, "Since that's the case, I won't refuse. I will definitely assist you with your loyalty and make contributions to this battle!"

******************************

The news of Huang Zhong’s arrival in Jiangxia not only spread throughout the counties affiliated to Jiangxia, but also from bandit spies to Gan Ning’s ears.

Gan Ning did not dare to neglect her. While stepping up training bandits, he also built weapons on a large scale.

This time, we faced an unprecedented strong enemy. The elite troops are on the one hand, and the quality of weapons is the key to whether we can win. Gan Ning has seen all the newly created weapons one by one and personally examined them.

"Dang!"

A newly-baked long knife slashed vertically in Gan Ning's hand and cut a wooden pier directly, which was fast and sharp.

Gan Ning weighed the knives in his hand and couldn't help but look at the bandits responsible for smelting weapons next to him, saying, "This batch of knives is great! It's different from the crispy knives you used to refine. Hahaha, good boy, you have grown up with you!"
