Chapter 423: Jinfan Thief (I)

In March, Jingzhao is filled with moving Cuiyu.

In the Qingsou Gate, due to years of abandonment, green vines and weeds are everywhere, and wisteria flowers spread along the walls and bloomed with gorgeous flowers. The Jiade Hall looks very broken, and the gold bricks and green tiles plowed into dust, which also covers the glory they should have.

Dong Qi looked at the person in front of him blankly, his eyes widened, and asked in surprise: "You just said, do you know Gan Ning and Gan Xingba?"

The battle in Luoyang had already been settled. According to the agreement between the two sides, Huang Zhong retreated to Xiuwu, which made Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Dong Qi opened up the Yanshi and let Zhou Yu and other 100,000 coalition forces withdraw from Jingzhao. Correspondingly, Cao Cao also withdrew from Xingyang and stationed troops in Xinzheng. It was as discussed by Dong Qi and Cao Cao that both sides guarded the pass, from Arcmen Pass to Xinzheng, which was a buffer zone.

The coalition originally had 170,000 troops in Luoyang.

However, Dong Qi believed that all the Jingzhao people should be under his rule and could not leave with him. This time, they snatched away 50,000 or 60,000 Cao Cao's people. As compensation, Dong Qi would open the horse market and use Xingyang as the trading place. Both sides did not station their troops and conduct free trade.

On the surface, this is just a spontaneous market among the people, but in fact, everyone knows it.

Cao Cao also recovered and was deceived by Dong Qi. Dong Qi's grain storage was far less powerful than he showed. What Chen Qun saw was just an illusion. But even if he knew, what? The two sides had already ceased to fight. Could it be that the war would be launched again?

Although Dong Qi did not want to continue fighting, Cao Cao did not have this interest either.

Because of the emergence of these 100,000 coalition forces greatly alleviated Cao Cao's pressure in Qingzhou, which is a beautiful thing.

But when talking about this with Lu Su, Cao Cao couldn't help but curse: Despicable man!

The Luoyang War has ceased, but it does not mean that Dong Qi can be idle. The disasters caused by the war are by no means clear in a few words. You must know that Luoyang had a small population after experiencing several disasters more than ten years ago. Later, when Xiahou Yuan was stationed in Luoyang, he recovered a little bit of anger. However, the end of this war, the entire Jingzhao was even more desolate than that year.

The huge eastern capital Luoyang now has a population of less than 200,000, and the surrounding area is only more than 300,000.

The fertile fields reclaimed in the past were desolate piece by piece. The broken city defense and shortage of food were all problems that Dong Qi had to face.

This is also the reason why Dong Qi was so shameless that he detained tens of thousands of people.

Although it is useless for big things, it can add some popularity... No matter how bad it is, it is not impossible to use these tens of thousands of people to farm.

I think before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Luoyang was known to have a population of millions.

Who would have thought that the prosperous city has become like this after only more than ten years? Dong Qi really felt a headache!

After discussing with Pang Tong and others, Dong Qi submitted a memorial to Chang'an, establishing the governor's office in Luoyang, and appointing Chen Dao as the governor of Luoyang. All officials of all sizes and sizes were resolved by Chen Dao themselves. Chang'an was only responsible for supplying this year's food and money, and no matter what else they were concerned about.

After this appointment, he drove Chen to crazy!

In other people's opinion, the so-called Luoyang Governor's Office has the right to open a government office, and being alone is definitely a chore.

But Chen Dao knew very well that Dong Qi wanted to let go!

The begging for nothing, he dug out Bu Zhi and Lu Meng from Dong Qi's hands. Originally, Chen Dao wanted to poach Pang Tong, but Dong Qi refused harshly. Fortunately, four people came from Hanzhong at this time, holding Yan Pu's recommendation letter, and ran to Luoyang to find Dong Qi.

These four people were originally subordinates of Zhang Lu of Hanzhong. In the words of Yan Pu's letter, they were Er Yang and Er Shen.

The so-called two Yangs are Yang Ang and Yang Ren, and they are cousins. Yang Ang is good at training troops, while Yang Ren is very skilled in martial arts and can fight for two battles.

Ershen is the brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi, and they are the two real brothers.

Shen Dan once studied under a famous Hanzhong scholar, with great talent and good at internal affairs. However, Shen Yi studied the law hard since childhood, with a straightforward temperament and a selfless face.

These four people were quite trusted by Zhang Lu, but who knew that Wunan Army went to Hanzhong? Zhang Lu turned on and surrendered after two battles, and the four people became prisoners. Later, Yan Pu arrived and persuaded the four people carefully, which made these two Yang Ershen want to serve Dong Qi.

When the four arrived in Luoyang, Chen Daozheng was with Dong Qi.

After reading Yan Pu's letter, he immediately stood up and said, "Lord, these four people are mine. If anyone stops them, I will fight with anyone."

Without saying a word, he left with four stunned guys.

If someone else is there, he will definitely be furious. But Dong Qi is not angry because he knows that it is really hard for Chen Dao to throw his hands away from the boss with this move.

Haven't you seen that in just a few days, Chen Dao had already grown white hair?

Dong Qi was too lazy to pay attention to what Chen Dao was doing in Luoyang. Xu Shu turned to Henoi, Zhang He retreated to Hedong. Pang De led his troops to the camp in Weinan. In addition to the White Army, Luoyang was only Yuanrong, the trolls and the Beiwei army, and Dong Qi was also ready to leave.

But who would have thought that two uninvited guests came at this time.

One is Ling Cao and the other is Su Fei. These two people were originally appointed by Dong Qi to train the navy on the river, but now they are here to complain to him again.

"The river water is bent and there is a lot of mud and sand blocking the river. It is difficult for us to establish a water camp on the river surface, and we are entrusted by the Grand Commander."

In fact, training the navy on the river was an inappropriate thing. Dong Qi thought about it and was willing to give up. After the Youzhou side became stable, you could find a harbor and train people. At this time, Pang Tong came up with an idea for Dong Qi.

Navy forces are not important in the north.

But Yu Jingxiang is indispensable...

The Jingxiang waterway is crisscrossed and there are great rivers. Sooner or later, Dong Qi will have to use troops to the south, so he will inevitably have a strong naval army to support him.

In the south, Dong Qi is not without foundation.

There is Shamoke in the open and Zhou Xin in secret. If a navy can be established, it can play the role of a surprise weapon in the key.

Dong Qi was quite moved by Pang Tong's plan. The cavalry was unable to achieve success in the south. Now there is the Wuxi Barbarian Camp of Shamoke on the land. If a navy army can be established, it would be a very satisfactory thing. But the question is, who will take the lead?

Shamoko...

Dong Qi didn't expect him to form a navy army.

The people around him were all tigers on the land, and they turned into land ducks when they got into the water. Only Ling Cao and Su Fei were good at this.

Dong Qi was very hesitant, who should I send?

On the one hand, Dong Qi was indeed moved by his idea of ​​establishing a navy, but he also knew that it was definitely not an easy thing. Therefore, if someone needs to be managed in the north, then it is impossible for the two of them to go together... Ling Cao had been away from Jiangnan for a long time, and the people and land were already unfamiliar.

So, can Su Fei? Is his ability successful?

Dong Qi was in a very difficult situation, but Su Fei came to the door.

"Lord, if you are just worried about the candidate for the water army commander, Fei would have someone to recommend, and he would definitely meet the requirements of the lord."

"who?"

"Fei has a good friend, who is from Linjiang (now Zhong County, Chongqing) in Ba County, Yizhou. His surname is Gan and his name is Ning."

"Gan Ning..." Dong Qi's body suddenly tensed and he looked at Su Fei in surprise, "What you are talking about is Gan Ning Gan Xingba?"

"Ah, the lord knows him too?"

Nonsense, I don’t just know him, I’m almost about to die of him.

Dong Qi smiled bitterly in his heart... Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, when he was in Liyang, he once recommended this person for Qin Jie. At that time, he mentioned three people, in addition to Gan Ning, there were Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. Unfortunately, Zhou Xin only found Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, but did not find Gan Ning.

After Qin Jie's death, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai did not join Dong Qi with Huang Zhong because he was unwilling to leave his hometown (at least they said so).

Later, Sun Ce invaded Jiangdong, and two great water thieves actually defected to Sun Bofu, which made Dong Qi feel disappointed at that time.

Why did you want to join Sun Ce but you didn’t want to join me?

For this reason, Dong Qi had a very bad impression of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and even wanted to send someone to sneak into Jiangdong and kill him.

But unexpectedly, at this time, he heard about Gan Ning. Dong Qi couldn't help but be moved. He looked at Su Fei and waited for him to continue talking.

Su Fei said: "Gan Ning is a man with little magical power and is very arrogant. He was once recommended as a planner and later was listed as the candidate of the Shu County Magistrate. However, this guy was born to be injustice. He was angry because of the rampant gentry. Then he left his hometown alone."

Dong Qi asked hurriedly, "What about later?"

"In the first year of Zhongping, he joined the army because of his belief in Taiping Road and became the commander of Qu..."

"ah?"

Dong Qi was stupid again...

No wonder Zhou Xin couldn't find out about Gan Ning's whereabouts. During the Zhongping period, the court was cracking down on Taiping Road at that time. I guess Gan Ning had to avoid the news, so he disappeared. The attack was good, but it was wonderful, otherwise, he might have cast Sun Bofu again.

When Su Fei saw Dong Qi hearing the three words Taiping Dao, he was angry. Although his expression was complicated, he was too curious and angry.

He said boldly: "After the first year of Zhongping, Gan Ning and I were a thief on the Huanjiang River and hid in Dongting Lake."

Dong Qi suddenly said: "Boyu, as you say so... have you ever been a Taipingdao person?"

"this……"

Su Fei was panicked. Dong Qi was right. He and Gan Ning met at Taiping Road. That year, he was twenty years old and Gan Ning was sixteen. Su Fei always took good care of this young brother who had just joined Taiping Road, and Gan Ning also regarded Su Fei as his brother.

He has never dared to tell people about this, especially after he defected to Dong Qi.

Su Fei knew very well that Dong Qi was treating this believer. To put it bluntly, wasn’t Taiping Dao going in advance because of Dong Qi?

God knows whether this lord will have doubts about himself after knowing his identity.

However, the words have already reached this point, and there is nothing to hide. Su Fei gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Dong Qi and said, "Su Fei deceived his lord for a long time, and he deserves to die. Yes, Fei also joined Taiping Road and was the commander of Changsha Xiaoqu with Gan Ning."

Dong Qi pulled Su Fei up.

"Boyu, what are you doing? What are you guilty of?"

"Feizhi's lord regards Taiping Dao as a demon, so he has never dared to tell the truth. However, even the eldest son is not very clear about this matter."

The eldest son in Su Fei's mouth refers to Gu Yong.

Dong Qi laughed, "Boyu, I think you've made a mistake. I don't hate to regard Taiping Tao as a demon. In fact, Buddhism also greatly appreciates it. People must not be without faith, they must respect heaven and earth, or ghosts and gods. I have read your Taiping Buddhism's "Taiping Qing Lingdao", and sometimes I can gain something. What I hate are those who use religion as a guise, do the law of fooling the people, and do the things of demons."

"Master..."

Su Fei couldn't help but feel excited, and tears almost fell down.

Dong Qi said: "You continue to talk about Gan Ning."
To be continued...
