Chapter 252 Gan Xingba Returns to Jiangdong

Gan Ning told Lu Su about the recent events. Lu Su was deeply wronged by Gan Ning's experience. He scolded, "Only Huang Zu, an old dog, can do this thunderstorm. If it hadn't been for the Gan brothers to save him, Huang Zu's old dog would have seen the king of the world."

Seeing that Gan Ning's face was indifferent, he asked softly, "Brother Gan, what are your plans for the future?"

"Brother Lu, to be honest, Xingba didn't want to be an enemy of General Sun. At the beginning, he shot Ling Cao for his brother's revenge. Now, Xingba just wants to wait for the opportunity to leave Jingzhou. Hey, the world is so big. Is there no place for Xingba? Gan Ning said half-truly and half-falsely. In order to avoid exposing the close relationship with Tai Shici, Gan Ning wanted to enter Jiangdong Group through the recommendation of Lu Su.

"Well, it was a hostile position at that time, and the sword on the battlefield was eyeless. This could not completely blame Brother Gan... Don't blame Brother Gan just shot Ling Cao at that time... So it is!" Lu Su suddenly realized. Then, he whispered, "Brother Gan, if General Sun invites you to come under your command, would you like to?"

"This..." Gan Ning's eyes showed joy, "Brother Lu, doesn't General Sun care that Xingba shot the fierce generals under his command at the beginning?"

"Hmm. This..." Lu Su wanted to say it and stopped. After thinking about it, Lu Su asked Gan Ning frankly, "Brother Gan, why did you save the old dog of Huang Zu at the beginning? ..."

"Brother Lu, Xingba did not mean to save Huang Zu's old dog at that time. At that time, a friend of Xingba fought with your Zhou Yu. He was in a crisis. In order to save his friends, Xingba showed his real martial arts skills..." Gan Ning explained bluntly that in order to show his integrity, he said solemnly, "If General Sun is willing to Accepting Xingba, Xingba will lead troops to attack Jiangxia and take Huang Zu's dog's head!"

"Oh, that's it! No wonder, the Gan brothers let go of Zhou Dudu at that time..." Now Lu Su finally knows the truth of the doubts in the battle of Jiangxia. Brother Gan, the truth is as you said. General Sun will definitely accept Brother Gan regardless of the past! Brother Gan, don't worry, as long as you are under the command of General Sun, General Sun will definitely use you!"

Gan Ning didn't know anything. Sun Quan himself and his fierce generals hated Gan Ning, and Su Fei. If it hadn't been for the appearance of these two people, Huang Zu would not have escaped back to the city. However, even if they hate, they are still quite rational. They analyzed the situation at that time and found a lot of doubts: "Gan Ning's martial arts skills are so high. Why did he just shoot Ling Cao and leave by himself? Why was he not seriously injured or shot Zhou Yu at the critical moment? ...Where did Gan Ning come from?

In order to find out the origin of Gan Ning, Sun went to spend a lot of money and finally learned that Gan Ning came from Linjiang, Yizhou... At present, he is in Jingzhou to avoid the revenge of Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou. Sun Quan also knew that Gan Ning had participated in the coalition of Ma Teng and Liu Yan and attacked Chang'an City at night.

This time, Lu Su came to Huang Zu's territory to inquire about the news, which was also the order of Tai Shici. Although Lu Su did not go deep into Huang Zu's territory, he also learned a lot of valuable military information from Gan Ning's mouth...

This time, Lu Su Yirong sneaked into Lu County. One of the important tasks is to explore the situation of Gan Ning. Is it as rumored that "Huang Zuen will take revenge, coldly meet or even suppress Gan Ning"...

Now that Lu Su knows what Gan Ning really thinks, he just wants to go back and report to Sun Quan and let Sun Quan arrange to receive Gan Ning.

The two made an appointment, and Lu Su hurried back. Lu Su returned to the Sanjiangkou of Wuchang and reported the situation of Gan Ning to Taishi Ci. After listening to Lu Su's report, Tai Shi Ci pretended to be surprised. In front of Lu Su and others, Tai Shi Ci repaired a book and ordered the messenger to send the letter to Sun Quan, who was in Jianye City, and let Sun Quan decide whether to accept Gan Ning, who was loyal to him...

Gan Ning returned to the county government, and told his intentions to his subordinates. Only then did these people understand why Qu Shuai would rather endure Huang Zu's suppression and not leave Jingzhou. It turned out that Qu Shuai was looking for an opportunity to go to Sun Quan... Qu Shuai has always did not like to impose on others, even if Gan Ning is usually strong on the surface. The direct feeling of these ethnic soldiers: Qu Shuai is really well-intentioned.

Of course, without Su Fei's recommendation with ulterior motives, Gan Ning would not have met his own opportunity so smoothly!

Of course, there are also some soldiers who remind Gan Ning, what if the other party traps Qu Shuai at that time? Gan Ning praised the skepticism of his subordinates, but with the current situation and Lu Su's character, this may not exist. When affirming the skepticism of his subordinates, he also explained to his subordinates: "The current situation, coupled with the character of Lu Su, as well as the secret protection and help of the Taishi brothers, this may not exist... Sun Quan is not Liu Biao. The development trend of Sun Quan, who was born in a civilian, is positive at this time. If he and Liu Biao are generally at ease with each other. Fang, he will never accept Gan Ning, because once Sun Quan accepts Ben Shuai, he will hurt the feelings of the old minister. However, Sun Quan is a local hegemon who is unwilling to be mediocre, so he will let go of the past and accept Ben Shuai...

Six days later, Lu Su came to Yu County again. This time is three days earlier than the agreed time, which shows how eager Sun Quan is to have such a fierce general as Gan Ning.

Lu Su and Gan Ning drank wine and had a happy talk. In the middle of the night, Gan Ning led his troops to quietly leave Lu County with Lu Su and went to Sun Quan and Tai Shici at the Sanjiangkou where the Jiangdong army was stationed. In order to show that Jiangdong attaches great importance to Gan Ning's obedience, Sun Quan himself rushed to Sanjiangkou from Jianye City hundreds of miles away.

Wuchang is an emerging city. It is composed of several scattered cities. Sanjiangkou is the gateway to its west, which can be said to be a city that was born due to the war. It is the front position and strong fortress of Sun Quan Group against Jingzhou. Although it is a new city, the layout of the city can definitely be described as solid. The combination of ancient tactical and new types of defense makes it extraordinary. Many years ago, it helped Jiangdong Sun Group successfully defend against the stormy attack of Huang Zu's side.

In such a city, Gan Ning also felt the confinement effect of the city on the super generals when he passed through the gate. The effect of weakening the combat power of super fierce generals is no less than that of an ancient city. A new city has such an obvious confinement effect, which shows how much life is created by the flesh and blood and brave souls.

Gan Ning's meeting with Sun Quan was absolutely secret, so no one greeted Gan Ning and his party at the gate of Wuchang City. It was not until Gan Ning followed Lu Su into the inner hall of Chengchi County that Gan Ning saw a young man looking at him with a smile. The young man looked younger than him and looked very different from ordinary people: purple, blue eyes and great figure. Wear cotton clothes worn by ordinary people. Although the clothes are average, the man exudes the smell of sunshine all over his body, which makes the viewer happy. Behind the man stood a handsome general. The general was Taishici. At this time, Taishici pretended not to know Gan Ning. And Gan Ning also tacitly pretended to see Tai Shici for the first time. He just glanced at him and focused on the smiling man.

Before Lu Su could meet Gan Ning, the young man took two steps forward, grabbed Gan Ning's arm, and said happily, "Gan Ning Gan Xingba?!, General Gan wants to plot!"

Gan Ning bowed his head and arched his hand and said, "The sinner Gan Ning visited the Sun Hou!"

"Ah, Xingba, what's the sin? Since ancient times, if you don't fight, you won't know each other... Come on, I'll talk while drinking!" Sun Quan said with a smile.

The guest is seated, and the wine is used as a medium to eliminate strangeness and deepen feelings. After a while, Gan Ning realized that as a hegemon, the young Sun Quan was really approachable, just like the big boy next door. This feeling makes Gan Ning not have the kind of formality when facing the superiors.

The world is big in the wine, and the sun and the moon are long in the pot. Ten pots of wine went down, and the strange feeling of getting along with each other disappeared, and the more and more oppulative atmosphere gradually became stronger.

"General Gan, your word 'Xingba' is very meaningful. Which master took the word for you? After a greeting, Sun Quan took Gan Ning's name as the talk. Because the characters of people in the world are either "zi" or "text", and rarely with the word "ba".

When Gan Ning heard Sun Quan ask the source of his name, his eyes suddenly turned red. He replied to Sun Quan thoughtfully, "Try to Sunhou, my name is taken by my adoptive father, Gan Taigong..."

When Sun Quan heard the words, his eyes suddenly showed light. He said slowly as he nod, "General Gan, from the time your godfather named you, you know that the old man's understanding of the world today is unique..."

"Oh, what the Marquis Sun said is..." When it comes to his adoptive father, Gan Taigong, Gan Ning was moved. "My adoptive father is a hermit. When he was fishing, he rescued me from the river * swaddling... When I was young, I was stubborn. I only knew how to dance with guns and sticks, and I didn't know how to read! Later, the adoptive father passed away, and the prodigal son turned around and read the books left by the adoptive father... A few years ago, when the adoptive father was alive, he also explained the current situation and development trend of Xingba. He believes that the Han Dynasty will definitely perish, and when the talents come out, there must be heroes to turn the tide and bring peace to the world back! ...Ha ha, the godfather's view on the current situation is in the following name: in troubled times, it must go through a period of various princes to compete for hegemony, and then the world will return to 'Ning'..."

Hearing this, Sun Quan and Taishi Culusu and others looked at Gan Ning with tears in their smile, and nodded silently and agreed. Gan Ning's words are true, but they are also rebellious. At least half of the Sun Quan Group think that the Han Dynasty can rise again, just like the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiuli turned the tide and was born to establish the Eastern Han Dynasty. Such ideological understanding is tantamount to a stumbling block to the further development of Sun Quan Group, which also shows that they are born in the Han Dynasty and die as ghosts of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Sun Quan is eager to recruit the talents he needs and kicks away the stumbling block. The people of the Sun family don't like to compromise, let alone bow to the rich clan.

In response to Sun Quan's question, Gan Ning asked with a worried face, "Sun Hou, Xingba came to turn to Cheng. How to deal with General Ling's family, Sun Hou?!"

"Xingba, don't worry! Zhong Mou will completely solve this matter, but you have to give Zhong Mou some time!" Sun Quan said. The Ling family in Yangzhou is also a rich clan, which has made great contributions to Sun's foundation. What is valuable is that the Ling family also supports the further development of Sun Quan to win the world. However, the war is approaching, and Sun Quan especially needs a fierce general like Gan Ning. Such a troublesome thing can only be reconciled slowly in the future.

For Gan Ning's sincerity, Sun Quan's think tank also proposed whether Gan Ning is a fraudulent surrender? However, they were all denied by the wise Sun Quan one by one, especially Gan Ning's puzzling move in the Battle of Jiangxia and took the initiative to give up the opportunity to kill the enemy. Now, under the interpretation of Lu Su, everything is solved. This shows that Gan Ning is interested in Sun Quan Group, otherwise he will not hide his strength under Huang Zu's eyes.

Based on the information about Gan Ning, coupled with the latest information provided by Lu Su, Sun Quan saw Gan Ning's thoughts and wanted to turn to himself.

Because Gan Ning's own comprehensive combat effectiveness is superior, which is much more powerful than ordinary super fierce generals. If Gan Ning becomes rich, why doesn't Gan Ning go to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao? ... Other think tanks of Sun Quan Group raised this issue to Sun Quan. They agreed that Sun Quan's acceptance of Gan Ning will bring trouble, especially the hatred with the Ling family, which is bound to be unmediateable. Because Ling Tong, the son of Ling Cao, has also mastered the ancestral shadowless arrow art. This shows that Ling Tong also has the strength to take revenge. And when you are young, you must be vigorous. Is Ling Tong easy to deal with?

For these concerns, Sun Quan avoided it: solve this problem in development! When will the injustice be reprisaled?! ... As a hegemon, don't you have this face and strength?

Except for the parties involved, Gan Ning and Tai Shici, no one knows the agreement between them. In fact, according to his nature, Gan Ning also wanted to go to Cao Cao, but after careful consideration, Gan Ning felt that Cao Cao's environment was not suitable for his survival: First, the fierce generals under Cao Cao were like clouds and rain, and the direct relatives of the fierce generals under his command were Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Chun and Cao Ren, and the generals recruited were Xu Zhudian, Wei, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, so on. In the situation, it doesn't matter if there is one more Gan Ning or one less general like Gan Ning; the second is that Cao Cao dedicated to the emperor and surrounds the emperor all day long, there must be red tape. This makes Gan Ning feel numb. He would rather face a life-and-death crisis than stay in such a place.

When he came to Sun Quan's side, Sun Quan must value him, and he can also act frankly without looking at some people's faces.

The banquet continues. Sun Quan said that he attached great importance to Gan Ning's attitude, and Gan Ning also showed his loyalty in response to the scene. After a drink, Gan Ning asked Sun Quan eagerly, "Sun Hou, what are our plans for the future?"

Gan Ning's question made Sun Quan think of the difficult entrepreneurial history of the Sun family. His bright eyes were immediately covered with a layer of fog. He clenched his fists. After a long cry, he slowly responded to Gan Ning and said, "Xingba, Zhongmou's father is alive. He often says: If it hadn't been for the help of the Han Dynasty, if he hadn't for a place to survive in troubled times, He would rather live a plain life... The Sun family will pay a great price for having today's foundation. His father and eldest brother died young, and Zhongmou inherited his father and brother's foundation when he was weak. Zhongmou knew that his ability was insufficient, but he was afraid that he would not take on the heavy responsibility and was ashamed of his father and brother..."

Sun Quan's words were extremely inflammatory, which moistened the infected eyes of Tai Shici, Gan Ning and Lu Su.

Sun Quan nod to the three people with apologies, and then said in a firm tone, "Taishi, Xingba, Zijing, the situation of the Sun family at this time is enough to protect themselves in today's troubled times! However, there are also internal and external worries: first, several rich families in Wuyue have their own small plans and cannot work together to help Zhongmou. Second, the Shanyue barbarians in the south of Wuyue not only do not obey Zhongmou's jurisdiction, but also collude with the separatist forces of the outside world and often rebel. External troubles: The first is Huang Zu from Jingzhou, the second is Yuan Shu from Shouchun, and the third is the ulgar-minded Cao Cao... Zhong Mou is not talented, and he also thinks that Wu Yue is a prosperous region, but it is very difficult to achieve this goal! Therefore, Zhong Mou hopes to have more benevolent people's help!"

Sun Quan said, and his eyes looked softly at Taishi Ci Gan Ning Lu Su. Lu Su said frankly, "Sun Hou, don't worry, everything will come true!"

"Sun Hou, Xing Ba is willing to serve you!" Gan Ning is also awe-inspiring for Sun Quan's heart, "Sun Hou, Jiang Xia's Huang Zu is not difficult to deal with. To be honest, in fact, Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, is also very tired of Huang Zu: Liu Biao's strategy is to settle down on one side and focus on Wenzhi; while Huang Zu is waiting for the opportunity to expand and prefer martial arts. As a local clan, Huang Zu did not pay attention to Liu Biao. Their superiors and subordinates also have very deep contradictions, and they are getting deeper and deeper. Now they have reached the level of incompatibility between water and fire. Xingba conjecture: Now Jingzhou is facing the dilemma of fighting on the second line between the north and the south. If Sun Hou rises up to attack Huang Zu at this time, Liu Biao will not send troops to support Huang Zu..."

"Uh-huh..." Sun Quan heard Gan Ning's words and nodded silently. Killing Huang Zu and avenging his father is the current goal of Sun Quan himself.

Tai Shici and Lu Su were also excited about the information provided by Gan Ning, especially Tai Shici. He pretended to be surprised, held the table with both hands, and leaned up and asked, "General Gan, what time do you think it is appropriate to attack Jiangxia?"

When Sun Quan and Lu Su heard Tai Shici, who had been silent, they suddenly asked Gan Ning, and they also stared at Gan Ning with bright eyes. Gan Ning felt uncomfortable when he was concerned by the three big men. He grinned and said confidently, "Sun Hou, Taishi Dudu, Brother Lu, if we attack Jiangxia at this time, we will need at least 50,000 soldiers and horses... If we operate properly, we can occupy Jiangxia City with the least effort. Even if you don't have a bloody blade...",

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses? The least pay? ..." Sun Quan's eyes became blurred. And Tai Shici and Lu Su also looked suspicious. Tai Shici has been pretending, because through the previous flying pigeon biography, he and Gan Ning have secretly made a detailed plan to attack Jiangxia City...

Sun Quan, Tai Shici and Lu Su felt that Gan Ning's statement was a little unreliable, but when they saw Gan Ning's firm expression, their confidence gradually increased.

"General Gan, when we attack Jiangxia County, do you think 20,000 soldiers have hope of victory? ...", Sun Quan asked in an inquiring tone.

"Shou Hou, this..." Gan Ning was also a little hesitant. He thought for a while and said resolutely, "There is also hope of victory, but it will take more time..."
