Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 471
After a night of fierce battle, Guan Hai and Guan Cheng commanded the pirates, and successfully pushed the ships of the Zhen family caravan into a headwind where they could not escape smoothly.

Although there are no ships on the other side that have sunk, they are already scarred. Although the Qingzhou Pirates have paid a big price, everyone can see that they must be the ones who will win in the end.

Guan Cheng raised his hand and was about to launch a general attack, but he saw Guan Hai boarded the bow, squinted his eyes, and said, "It's not right."

"It seems that there is a ship coming in the distance."

Guan Cheng didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "It's almost Chinese New Year, even if we have a few more fleets, it's nothing more than what we have in our pocket."

"Take care of the Zhen family merchant ship in front of me first. I didn't expect there to be so many guards in it. It is obvious that they have delivered a lot of good things!"

Guan Hai doubted: "Don't you think something is wrong?"

"The soldier on the opposite side is not ordinary, how can it be like the Zhen family's private army?"

"It seems to be deliberately seducing us!"

Guan Cheng said with a smile: "The Zhen family, didn't they just hang out with the Yuan family's vicious tigers, I'm afraid they invited the Youzhou Army to guard them."

"But when it comes to fighting on water, who can beat us?"

"I'm afraid they lost their boat and wanted to come back for revenge, but they didn't expect that our strength is far beyond their previous expectations. They have changed from hunters to prey. It's ridiculous!"

"Of course, if the matter is exposed, it is not good for the fierce tiger to find out. Hurry up and grab the goods, kill all the people, and destroy the ship."

Guan Hai nodded and said, "Just in case, I'll take a few ships over there to find out who it is."

He ordered another big ship to approach, seeing that the two ships were still a few feet away, he rushed forward a few steps, stepped on the side of the ship, jumped up in the air, and landed directly on the deck of the opposite ship.

With a few ships, he raised the sails and approached the fleet in the distance. Within a quarter of an hour, the two sides approached rapidly. When Guan Hai saw clearly, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

I saw the multi-masted ships in the opposite fleet, driven by five or six sails, sailing towards this side at an extremely fast speed.

And the logo on the bow of the ship is not from the Zhen family fleet, but from the Xuzhou Guangling Navy!
Moreover, there were dozens of boats coming, and there were crowds of people on the bow, obviously there were not many people!
Guan Hai instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he quickly ordered the bow to turn around. In this moment, the other party was getting closer and closer, and someone at the bow shouted: "Who is blocking the way?"

Guan Hai heard this, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "I am Guan Hai, the captain of the Qingzhou Navy!"

"You and I are both subordinates of the Yuan family, why did you come to my Qingzhou sea area for no reason?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the opposite bow, "Guan Hai!"

"What a coincidence, who do you think I am?"

Guan Hai looked around, and saw an extremely mighty general at the bow of the opposite ship standing still with a big bow in his hand, and immediately shouted: "How do I know who you are!"

The general shouted loudly: "I am Donglai Taishici!"

"Do you still remember the time when the soldiers besieged Kong Wenju and were defeated by my soldiers?"

When Guan Hai heard it, he lost his mind, and lost his voice: "So it's you!"

Seeing Tai Shici unfurling his bow and nodding his arrow, he hurriedly said, "What do you want to do!"

"I'm Yuan Qingzhou's subordinate! You."

Tai Shici shouted: "You know what you have done!"

He let go of his hand, the big bow in his hand shook, and the arrow shot out like a meteor, Guan Hai saw that it was aimed at his face, he dodged in panic, but Tai Shici's bow was extremely powerful, Guan Hai had to dodge a few inches , the arrow has arrived.

With a puff, the arrow shot through the leather armor on Guan Hai's shoulders, penetrating through his shoulders, and the powerful impact drove Guan Hai back again and again, nailing him to the mast behind him.

Guan Hai screamed loudly, and the pirates under him were frightened, they were so far away, and they shot so accurately!

Tai Shici waved his hand, "Go!"

"Kill or kill!"

Dozens of warships approached the Qingzhou pirate ship in an instant. The sides of the Xuzhou Navy warship were extremely high. Thousands of wolves and tigers were nimble and agile. They jumped down like a pack of wolves and landed on the Qingzhou pirate ship. They rushed towards the flustered Qingzhou pirates.

As soon as they fought, the Qingzhou pirates lost their minds. This group of Xuzhou sailors moved neatly, their footsteps were extremely steady, and their shots were accurate and fierce, far better than the Youzhou army on the Zhen family merchant ship!
The Qingzhou pirates couldn't resist such a fierce attack at all, and within a moment, the deck was full of corpses.

Some people wanted to beg for mercy, but found that the other side ignored them at all, so they became frightened and jumped into the sea screaming miserably.

Guan Hai reluctantly pulled out the arrow on his shoulder and the sword around his waist, screaming and rushed towards the Xuzhou navy, but there was a bang when a sharp arrow pierced his knee, and he fell on the ground all at once. deck.

He reluctantly turned his head, and saw Tai Shici raised his bow and arrow again, and shouted: "Stop, I am willing to surrender!"

"Donglai people don't fight Donglai people, and the Yellow Turban Army doesn't kill the Yellow Turban Army. General Taishi, you are not in the Yellow Turban Army."

With a puff, Tai Shici shot an arrow through Guan Hai's chest and nailed him to the deck.

Tai Shici put down his bow, thinking that the Yellow Turbans have been in trouble for ten years, you are a thing that has been looting houses, and you are also worthy of being called the Yellow Turban Army.

On the side of Zhen's Merchant Ship, Guan Cheng saw that the opposite side was in danger, and was proud of it. When he turned his head and saw it, he found that Guan Hai's ship was actually surrounded!

He was in doubt, only to hear the screams from Guan Hai's boat, loud at first, then gradually weaker later, he understood that he was plotted by the other party!
He hurriedly ordered the warships under his command to re-arrange, but seeing the delay, the warships of the Xuzhou Navy had already rushed up!
Guan Cheng knew that Guan Hai was already in danger, but with more than a dozen boats under his command, he was lucky and felt that he might not lose to the opponent. As a result, when the two sides fought, he knew that something was wrong!
Compared with the soldiers of the Zhen family warship, the Xuzhou navy is completely different. Their actions on board are extremely crisp and neat, and they are not at the same level as the opponent at all!

He immediately shouted: "Raise the sails, run away with all your strength!"

However, it was already too late, the Xuzhou navy kept firing rockets, igniting all the sails of the Qingzhou pirates, this time Guan Hai no longer had a spare sail, and the speed of the ship was greatly reduced.

Countless scratching hooks were thrown and caught the Qingzhou pirate ships. The Xuzhou navy jumped on board one after another. Guan Hai bravely went up to meet them, but saw a man on the opposite side jumping over with a pair of halberds.

The two fought together in an instant, and within a few seconds, Guan Cheng was beaten back again and again, extremely embarrassed.

Seeing Yuan Xi, he knew that the overall situation had been decided, and the mission of the Zhen family's merchant ship to lure the enemy was successfully completed.

Tian Yu saw Tai Shici leading people to clash on the deck, as if walking on flat ground, he couldn't help sighing: "When it comes to water warfare, I have never seen anyone stronger than General Tai Shi."

Yuan Xi said in his heart that you are not bad, only he knows that Tian Yu is proficient in everything, and later generations even defeated the navy army that invaded by the Eastern Wu, so he can be called an all-rounder.

Seeing that Lu Lingqi was about to jump over to fight, he was so frightened that he grabbed her, "You are crazy, can you swim?"

"Forget about the deck, if you fall into the water, who can save you?"

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi gave up resentfully.

Lu Xun came over and saw that Tai Shici had completely suppressed the Qingzhou pirates with the Xuzhou navy. He sighed: "The training of this navy is very methodical. Mr. Yuanlong and General Taishi put a lot of effort in it."

"Now it seems that the Guangling navy has eighty-nine points of the Jiangdong Tigers' navy."

Yuan Xi was startled, "You're so powerful, yet you still can't catch up with Sun Bofu?"

Lu Xun sighed: "I know that the young master once defended the city and repelled this man, but there are many capable people under his command, especially Zhou Gongjin's unique ability to train the navy, so it should not be underestimated."

Yuan Xi was also alert when he heard the words. Since Sun Ce captured Wu County, many people have defected to him. Zhou Yu relied on his gentry connections and introduced many people, including Lu Su, Lu Meng and others. Sun Ce's power has begun to expand rapidly.

However, it was a good thing for Yuan Xi who had no intention of plotting against Jiangdong for the time being. The ones who had direct conflicts with Sun Ce were Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, and Yuan Xi was still behind.

The reason for this is that there are more choices of roads to go south from the Central Plains in the north than to go north to the north.

With Sun Ce's position, there are two most likely paths to go north to achieve great things in the future, one is to attack Shouchun from Hefei, and the other is to go north to the Central Plains from Jingzhou.

As for the way of Yuan Xi Guangling, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. Few people would choose it in history. Later generations Sun Quan ordered Zhang Zhao to try it, but after losing the battle, he gave up.

But compared to Yuan Xi, the same is true. The cities of Wu County across the river, from Qu'a to Jianye, are not easy to fight. If Yuan Xi wanted to go south, he had to go from Hefei.

Therefore, one Jingzhou, one Hefei, and one Xuzhou, the proper place for the Four World Wars, are occupied by Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Xi and Liu Bei. .

The battle at sea gradually came to an end, and the Qingzhou pirates were almost wiped out. Lu Lingqi was eager to see it, and said to Yuan Xi unwillingly: "This time I only shot arrows, and the two halberds were not stained with blood!"

Yuan Xi said helplessly: "On land, you can fight casually. On the sea, you saw it just now. If you fall into the sea, you will die. It is extremely dangerous. You don't know how to swim. What should you do if you fall?"

Lu Lingqi was a soft-hearted person, but seeing what Yuan Xi said, she had no choice but to give up her last thoughts.

Another half an hour later, the Qingzhou pirates were killed almost to death, because they had done too many crimes at sea before, and Yuan Xi didn't think about keeping them alive. In the end, the dead bodies were almost piled up on the ship.

Tai Shici's boat approached, he held Guan Cheng which was bundled into rice dumplings, leaped more than ten feet, and jumped over, everyone immediately applauded.

Tai Shici came up and threw Guan Cheng in front of everyone, Yuan Xi walked up to Guan Cheng and said, "You said you have a military position in the Qingzhou Army, let me see your seal."

Guan Cheng was in doubt, he had already seen Yuan Xi's extraordinary status, but he still took a chance and said: "We are all the generals of Yuan Xiansi, the governor of Qingzhou!"

"You are the generals of the envoy Yuan of Youzhou, right? This is the flood that rushed into the Dragon King Temple!"

"I want to see Mr. Yuan!"

Yuan Xi sneered and said, "You said you were Yuan Tan's general, do you have evidence?"

Guan Cheng hesitated for a while, "The Shijun said that our identities are not visible, and he didn't give us a seal, but we can enter and exit Qingzhou Port at will, which explains everything!"

Yuan Xi's face turned cold, "Then you came out to rob, and he knows?"

"What is the relationship between the Zhen family caravan and the Yuan family, don't say you don't know!"

Guan Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he murmured: "There is some misunderstanding about this matter, I want to see the envoy, everything will be clear!"

Yuan Xi sneered and said, "I am Yuan Xi, what do you want to say?"

After hearing this, Guan Cheng turned pale.
