Chapter 210 The real hero encounters bad luck

Although Gan Ning is known as a thief and is the local famous and notorious local snake, the local people love him and support him from the bottom of their hearts. In this way, the local rich clans hate it to the bone. In the face of the hatred and deliberate revenge of the rich clan, Gan Ning did not dare to live on land and only slept on a tin boat at night.

Later, Gan Ning was forced to become a thief by the state herdsman and the local rich clan at that time. Liu Yan, the royal clan, came to Yizhou in person. Liu Yan, who did not know the situation at that time, listed Gan Ning as the No. 1 anti-thief under the temptation of the local rich Zhang family. Later, when Gan Ning defeated the officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress again and seriously injured Zhao Wei, Liu Yan's confidant, Gan Ning attracted Liu Yan's attention. Later, after Liu Yan's personal persuasion, Gan Ning obeyed Liu Yan... From then on, Gan Ning, Meng Huo of the Yi nationality and Yan Yan of the Dai nationality were called the "Three Heroes of Yizhou".

After that, in order to cooperate with Liangzhou Ma Teng and Han Sui's sneak attack on Chang'an City occupied by the Xiliang Legion, Liu Yan appointed his two sons and Gan Ning to join Ma Teng's army. Later, Liu Yan's two sons sneaked into Chang'an City to prostitutes regardless of military discipline. As a result, they were found by acquaintances and arrested! Under the personal interrogation of Jia Xu, the chief advisor of the Xiliang Legion, Jia Xu mastered the secret military operations of Ma Teng's side.

Finally, under the arrangement of Jia Xu, the Xiliang Legion set traps to lure the enemy into the ambush circle. Finally, Ma Teng's side was ambushed by the Xiliang Legion and was ambushed, causing heavy losses. Liu Yan's two sons were also cut off their heads in public. As a result, Gan Ning was unable to return to Yizhou. If he insists on returning to Yizhou, he will definitely be punished by Liu Yan: Liu Yan's own two sons died, but you came back alive? ......

So after a while, Gan Ning led hundreds of brothers to the rich Jingzhou. He hoped to gain a place on the ground of Jingzhou with his outstanding martial arts skills, gain a firm foothold and develop vigorously...

Jingzhou was originally a barren land with few people. After hundreds of years of development and construction in the Qin and Han Dynasties, Jingzhou, once the territory of the State of Chu, has achieved great development. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou was divided into Weixing County, Nanyang County, Shangyong County, Xiangyang County and Jiangxia County. Since Liu Biao, a relative of the Han Dynasty, entered Jingzhou, after more than ten years of development, under the governance of Liu Boli, the actual area of Jingzhou has at least doubled compared with the past, and there are more Jianping County, Changsha County, Hengyang County, Wuling County, and Guiyang County.

However, due to Liu Biao's deliberate forbearance, he avoided conflict with the hegemony of the Central Plains: almost all the prefectures and counties north of Jingzhou are out of Liu Biao's control, and the prefectures and counties actually controlled by Liu Biao (character Jingsheng) are only in the south of Jingzhou. Although far away from the central court, even if Liu Biao actually controls only half of the territory of Jingzhou, because Jingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, the mountains and jungles extend for thousands of miles, and the materials are abundant, Liu Biao and other powerful clans in Jingzhou also live a rich life.

Ten years ago, in order to establish prestige, Liu Biao combined with Kuai Yue, the leader of the Jingzhou clan, and Pang Ji, who killed the evil clans and killed the fish and meat villagers. It was rumored that Wuling County and Guiyang County newly developed by the villagers in Jingzhou, with thousands of miles of territory, with more than 100,000 soldiers. Ten years later, in order to stabilize the territory under his jurisdiction, Liu Biao lured and Wei Huai Governance also relies on the territory under the jurisdiction of the emerging clan, so thousands of miles are purged and the people are happy.

On the other hand, there are thousands of scholars from Kansai, Yanzhou and Yuzhou who want to turn to Jingzhou. Liu Biao can comfort and help them, and scholars can be funded and protected. After the end of the bandits in the state, Liu Biao opened an academic officer and asked for Confucian scholars, so that Qi Wufu, Song Zhong and others wrote five scriptures and sentences, which was called post-determined. During his tenure, Liu Bao loved the people and raised his people, and calmly took care of himself.

Compared with Liu Yan in Yizhou, Liu Biao is worthy of being one of the "Eight Jun" in modern times. His talent, character and life orientation are much better than Liu Yan. At least, Liu Biao is not casual -** - wants someone else's wife and daughter, while Liu Yan has a big job with Zhang Lu's mother in Hanzhong. Of course, it was also because Zhang Lu accepted his fate and let Liu Yanhu mess around, so that he could safely be his emperor in Hanzhong - the head of the Wudou Rice Sect.

However, Liu Biao is suspicious of human nature. He is better than sitting and talking. He is determined to defend himself, but has no ambition, so that he sacrifices the emperor and dangers, recruits his wife and concubines in Jingzhou, and lives a carefree life.

So a few years later, Cao Cao and Liu Bei talked about heroes: Liu Biao is a "guardian dog" and is just a waste of resources.

Liu Biao likes to recruit talents, but he does not reuse them: in this regard, like Yuan Shao from Yizhou, he decorates his appearance with talents and elevate his identity and taste. To govern Jingzhou, he only relied on the local clans, such as the Kwa clan, such as the Cai clan, and Liu Jingsheng, who married the women of these clans as concubines and established an unbreakable community of interests through in-laws.

In this way, outside this community of interests, Liu Biao, who is satisfied with the status quo, is not in the mood to be a virtuous sergeant.

Therefore, Gan Ning led hundreds of elite soldiers and strong generals to Liu Biao. As a result, he had not even seen Liu Biao once for half a year. Of course, this is also related to Gan Ning's deliberate concealment of his strength. He did not show his real martial arts level to the outside world. At the same time, it also shows that Gan Ning did not catch up with the good luck! In the past, hundreds of ordinary people came to join, and Liu Biao would meet him in person at the first time... At this time, Liu Biao has established a foothold in Jingzhou, and he no longer needs external forces to contain the local forces in Jingzhou.

A month later, Gan Ning was politely arranged by General Pei of Xiangyang City to Nanyang Mountain, a deep old forest 100 miles away from the south of the city, specializing in mining - concentrate and collecting natural materials and treasures.

At the beginning, when Gan Ning led his subordinates to Nanyang Mountain, he found that General Pei was indeed "loved" for them: Nanyang Mountain is a primitive forest. There are groups of wild wolves in the forest, South China tigers can be seen everywhere, and poisonous snakes and spiders are everywhere. However, according to the locals, there is indeed an open-air refined iron ore in Nanyang Mountain. This iron ore is used to make weapons and equipment. It is strong and soft, and of good quality. It is said that many of the best armor and weapons in the world are forged and carefully made with this iron ore. It's just that ordinary people can't get close to the location of this iron mine, let alone digging... Even if excellent hunters arrive here, they don't have the courage to stay here for too long.

Why did General Pei arrange Gan Ning and his party to a dangerous place? Because General Pei asked Gan Ning for a bribe, Gan Ning did not satisfy him. In the face of Gan Ning, who was like an iron rooster, General Pei's face was straight at that time, and he said solemnly, "Jingzhou does not refuse outsiders, but Jingzhou does not support idle people!" Let's see how you arrived when you first came. I will send you to Nanyang Mountain to dig iron ore..."

After Gan Ning led a hundred and ten brothers to the old forest dozens of miles, no trace was found. In such a situation, Gan Ning smiled bitterly and scolded in the direction of Xiangyang City, "Wow mud horse, this damn general dares to die... One day, I have to make his life worse than death!"

After a crazy vent, Gan Ning said to everyone, "Guys, in fact, this place is also good. It's like spring all year round, and it's very quiet. We run here naked all day long, and no one cares..."

Of course, everyone was laughing to deal with Gan Ning, only saying, "Qu Shuai, see!" Or "Qu Shuai, Gao Ming!" Although Qu Shuai is the name of the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, it is placed on Gan Ning's head, which shows that he has a close relationship with his subordinates. Therefore, "Qu Shuai" is the title of the great anti-thief, and Gan Ning is also willing to accept it.

After that, in a valley near a waterfall, Gan Ning arranged for everyone to settle in the camp, and he had no scruples to exude the bursting atmosphere that made the tiger and leopard escape far away, and ran from the waterfall as the center for a day.

In this way, he told the animals in the forest that this area belongs to Ganning. If anyone enters rashly, don't be rude... People and beasts should adhere to the principle of living in harmony.

What makes everyone happy is that the valley here is actually a bamboo forest stretching for dozens of miles, a standard primitive bamboo forest. There are bamboo forests, bamboo shoots, and other delicious wild vegetables. In the primitive forest, there are many kinds of wild fruits. Due to the inaccessible, their taste is even more beautiful, which is more beneficial for martial artists to absorb the natural aura.

Here, pheasants, wild ducks, wild boars and other birds and beasts can be easily caught by Gan Ning and his party. It is as simple as a child touching the chicken-chicken-handed. Even so, after more than ten days of building the camp, Gan Ning and others began to reclaim the wasteland and grow crops. Such meticulousness and meticulousness are extremely out of place with Gan Ning's rugged appearance. This is also Gan Ning's ability after reading various books: the awareness of preparing for a rainy day, a good awareness of thinking about danger in peace...

Although Gan Ning is in contact with farming for the first time, he is very interested. After another field exploration, Gan Ning found that the mountain behind the waterfall was an open-air fine iron ore. When the night came, the moonlight and starlight were reflected on the grassless mine as a whole, shining brightly.

There is actually a primitive cave behind the 100-meter waterfall. The cave turned down, and there was no end. Of course, Gan Ning began to build a cave to make it suitable for ordinary people to live in. Here, Gan Ning returned to his youth mentality. He likes to wear gorgeous feather clothes and likes to put his head in the tail and ring the bells with his hands and feet.

Up and down, a hundred and a hundred Miao soldiers also dressed themselves as Gan Ning. At this time, looking at the camp, the whole is a primitive tribe.

In the following days, Gan Ning led his generals or Wuthering Mountain Forest, or took the mining tools given to him by General Pei and concentrate on mining. Of course, Gan Ning naturally took the high-quality iron ore as his own, and the inferior iron ore was piled up in the camp, waiting for General Pei to pick it up.

It's really extravagant for a super warrior to act as a miner. It's simply killing chickens with a cow-killing knife and hitting ants with a stone-throwing machine. Isn't it strange not to be punished by God?!

A month later, General Pei actually went hunting in the mountains in the name of seeing Gan Ning's troops. When General Pei saw Gan Ning's people living here, he was immediately surprised. General Pei took away the inferior iron ore. Before leaving, he also eagerly told Gan Ning, "Xingba, go to the city to find you when you have time, and you will also arrange a residence for you. Haha, find another mother-in-law..." These inferior iron ore are also high-quality products when they are taken outside. Sell these iron ores, and General Pei can buy several mansions and courtyards in the county.

Gan Ning looked at the smiling General Pei, showing his heart and brain, and couldn't wait to give his heart to the other party.

When General Pei left the camp, Gan Ning selected ten soldiers who were good at imitating the local language and good at adapting to changes, secretly sneaked into Xiangyang City, and contacted the salt gang in the city. The outside world does not know that Gan Ning has a secret identity: Gan Ning is still the helmsman of the Salt Gang. If the Cao Gang from Lu Su covers rivers and lakes, then the Yan Gang where Gan Ning is located has the power all over the world.

Due to his outstanding martial arts skills, Gan Ning has a transcended position in the Salt Gang. If Gan Ning is not determined to make a difference in the officialdom, he is definitely the best helper for the salt gang at this time. At this time, the position of the head of the salt gang has been vacant for many years...

A few days later, the soldiers under Ganning's command contacted the helmsman of the salt gang in Xiangyang City. The helmsman of the salt gang took time to personally enter the deep mountains and forests to visit Gan Ning. After the two met, the helmsman told Gan Ning the actual situation of Jingzhou: At this time, the royal clan Liu Biao had already gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou. At this time, Liu Biao no longer needed to use external forces to fight against the local rich clans. Such a situation is more and more unfavorable for latecomers such as Gan Ning. Gan Ning wants to make a difference on the ground of Jingzhou. It's basically out of the way... If it had been a few years ago, if Gan Ning had come to Liu Biao, he would definitely be reused!
