Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Chapter 58



As soon as this statement came out.

Liu Bei's spirit was lifted.

Zhang Fei and other generals immediately became excited.

Only Wenpin looked a little confused.

In his opinion, when it comes to Jingzhou water generals, Huang Zu deserves to be number one.

Cai Mao came second, with his own words ranking third at most.

But Deng Mu claimed that among the people in the field, there is still someone who can be said to be the best in Jingzhou in terms of water warfare strength?

Wenpin's thoughts were racing, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a number one person in Jingzhou.

"Ziyu, the people you recommend have always been great talents."

"But I wonder which hero you are talking about? Liu

Bei asked eagerly with joy on his face.

"This person is not from a high family background and his reputation is not very good. He is called a Jinfan thief."

"His name is Gan Ning and his courtesy name is Xing Ba!"

Deng Mu named this name.

"Gan Ning?"

Liu Bei was at a loss. He had no impression of this strange name.

Wenpin on the side couldn't help being secretly surprised.

"This Gan Ning was just a water thief, active all year round in the Han River area. Did Military Advisor Deng actually know about such a water thief?"

Wen Pin looked at Deng Mu with admiration.

At this moment, he sincerely admired Deng's military advisor for his broad vision.

It was as if all the strange people and strangers hidden in the countryside in the world were under his control.

What? Wei Yan, Yi Ji, and now Gan Ning, so many inconspicuous little things, can actually know them all.

"Gan Ning, Gan Xingba?"

"Ziyu, is this person really, as you said, capable of defeating Cai Mao in a water battle?"

Liu Bei was somewhat skeptical.

"In fact, I said that Gan Xingba was the best general in Jingzhou, and I even underestimated him."

"In my opinion, when it comes to water warfare alone, not to mention Jingzhou, even on the entire Yangtze River, the only person who can rival him is Sun Ce, the lord of Jiangdong."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked again.

Gan Ning and the others may have never heard of it, but Sun Ce's name is like thunder.

That little overlord, with only thousands of soldiers and horses across the river, swept across the river in less than a year Jiangdong.

Wherever it goes, it is invincible, invincible, and almost invincible.

No one can match it in land battles. Water battles also run across the Yangtze River, rarely encountering opponents.

And Gan Ning.

A"notorious" Water thief.

Deng Mu actually commented that his ability in water warfare was comparable to that of Sun Ce?

How could everyone not be surprised ?

"Zhongye, you should have heard of Gan Ning’s name."

Deng Mu's eyes turned to Wenpin

"This Gan Ning, even the last general has heard of it."

"It is reported that this person was originally sent to Shu by Liu Biao, intending to take advantage of the local tyrants in Yizhou to cause chaos and infiltrate the country."

"But later Liu Yan used Dongzhou soldiers to put down the rebellion, and Gan Ning and others were driven out of Yizhou and forced to withdraw to Jingzhou"

"Because Gan Ning had a poor background and a rather conceited temperament, he was not reused by Liu Biao."

"So Gan Ning became angry and led his eight hundred cronies to become water thieves, specializing in robbing official ships on the Han River."

"All I know is that this person has some abilities."

"As for the military advisor's statement that his water combat ability is comparable to that of the little overlord, the general is really not sure."

Wenpin truthfully told what he knew about Gan Ning.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that he still had reservations about Gan Ning's strength.

Zhang Fei also widened his eyes, scratched his head and said:

"Military advisor, is this Gan Ning you are talking about really so powerful?"

Most of the people had doubts.

On the contrary, the doubts in Liu Bei's eyes were swept away, and he said seriously:

"Have you ever misjudged someone recommended by Ziyu? Don't you dare question him?"

"Since he said that Gan Xingba can rival Sun Ce, he must be right! But

Liu Bei was convinced and said to Deng Mu:

"Anyone with great talent must be a little conceited, so what’s the big deal?"

"As long as he can help me to help the Han Dynasty, I am willing to ask him to come out to help me cross the Han River and help the Han Dynasty!"

"Just tell me, military advisor, how can I recruit this person?"

Deng Mu nodded slightly and praised Lao Liu's magnanimity.

In fact, there are many generals with such"personality" under Lao Liu.

Guan Yu is a bit arrogant, Zhang Fei is a bit violent, and Wei Yan is a A straight man who doesn't understand human relationships... that is, Lao Liu has a unique charm that can unite so many"problem youths" tightly around him, so that they can fight for a common ideal.

As for Gan Ning, he is nothing more than a light-hearted young man who is a bit of a middle-class boy.

As a young man, who is not ambitious and pretentious?

"This Gan Ningba has a chivalrous temperament and likes to show off luxury. Whenever he travels, his carriage and horses must be wrapped in brocade.."

"That's why he got the name of Jinfan Thief"

"As long as anyone who interacts with him treats him kindly, he will be in love with him and be willing to go through fire and water for him."

"If someone slights him, he will become jealous and even go as far as to kill him."

"If the lord wants to conquer this person, he must take appropriate measures based on his temperament."

Deng Mu spoke eloquently and analyzed Gan Ning's temperament thoroughly.

Wenpin, Wei Yan and other Jingzhou generals were all amazed when they heard Deng Mu's words.

Deng Mu knew Gan Ning's origins clearly. It was already extremely difficult.

Now that he could understand Gan Ning's temperament to such an extent, it was really unbelievable.

This was no longer the ability to recognize people, it was simply opening his eyes...

Liu Bei already knew it in his heart.

"Well, after hearing what the military advisor said, Bei understood what to do."

"I will now spend a thousand pieces of gold, a thousand pieces of brocade, and a thousand bushels of grain and grass, and send Sun Gongyou as a distinguished guest to invite Gan Ningba to come and help in the battle."

"What do the military advisors think?"

Deng Mu nodded slightly, but then added:

"In addition to inviting him with great courtesy, when Gan Ning came, the lord should personally come out of the camp to greet him to show that he valued him."

"After achieving these two points, I predict that Gan Ningba will repay his lord with death!"

Liu Bei readily accepted it.

So he immediately sent Sun Qian with generous gifts to recruit Gan Ning.

Xiangyang, Shuiying.

Liu Biao stood on the shore with his hands behind his hands, looking at the other side from a distance.

"According to detailed reports, Liu Bei has used the soldiers who captured our warships and the reputation of the traitor Wenpin to form a naval army."

"There are about 400 naval warships and nearly 6,000 sailors."

"Now Wenpin is in the water camp, training the navy day and night."

"Obviously Liu Bei wants to use this navy to compete with us for the control of the Han River, intending to attack the south bank and invade Xiangyang."

Kuai Yue reported the latest information to Liu Biao one by one.

Liu Biao frowned slightly and said bitterly:

"Wenpin, a traitor, just surrendered to Liu Bei, but he also helped Liu Bei train his navy. It is really hateful.~~"

Despite the hatred, Liu Biao's face showed hidden worries.

Cai Mao looked arrogant and snorted disdainfully

"Wenpin, the traitor, only knows a little bit about water warfare. What if Liu Bei uses him to lead the water army?"

"Don't worry, my lord, even if Wenpin is a big-eared thief and becomes a navy soldier, if he dares to come and fight, I will destroy him!"

Cai Mao patted his chest and let out wild words.

Liu Biao's face suddenly cleared and he nodded:

"Degui, your water fighting ability is indeed superior to that of the traitor."

He subconsciously wanted to stroke his beard, but he found nothing.

Then he remembered that his beard was burned clean in the battle at Bowangpo.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao became angry and said in a deep voice:

"If Na Wenpin dares to fight in the water, you must capture him alive. I will definitelyThis traitor was executed in Xiangyang as a warning to others!"

"promise!"

At this time, Liu Biao regained his confidence as the Lord of Jingzhou.

"Lord, the more I think, there is a person we must guard against."

Kuai Yue suddenly changed the topic.

Liu Biao was startled and turned his eyes to Kuai Yue.

"The more I heard about it, there was a water thief named Gan Ning on the Han River. This man was very brave and good at fighting, and he was quite successful in water battles."

"This person often plundered official ships on the Han River, and even defeated the official army's water encirclement and suppression several times." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"After Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, he won over Deng Mu, Wei Yan, Yi Ji and many other people from poor families to his advantage."

"The more worried he is, Liu Bei will recruit Gan Ning to serve as his general."

Hearing Gan Ning's name, Liu Biao's eyes were blank for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered Gan Ning's existence.

"He was just a Jinfan thief, so what if he was recruited by the Big-Eared thief? Why should Yidu worry too much."

Cai Mao scoffed without waiting for Liu Biao to express his position.

Kuai Yue smiled bitterly and asked:

"Degui, aren't Deng Mu, Wei Yan and others from poor families?"

"Have we not suffered enough at the expense of these traitors from a poor family?"

Cai Mao was speechless and looked embarrassed.

Liu Biao was reminded and nodded heavily:

"Xiedu's words are reasonable. There is indeed no shortage of talents among these people from poor families, so we must be on guard against them.

Then he asked Kuai Yue:"Then according to Yidu's opinion, how should I take precautions?""

"In fact, it's simple. My lord can immediately send my brother Kuai Kui to recruit Gan Ning first."

"As the lord of Jingzhou, if the lord can take the initiative to condescend to recruit him, Gan Ning will be flattered and come to ride for the lord."

"In this way, there is no need to worry that Gan Ning will be used by Liu Bei. Liu

Biao nodded slightly and shouted:

"Quickly send an order to Kuai Chu to go conquer Gan Ning in my name immediately and come to my account to listen to him!"

Downstream of Fancheng, on the north bank of Han River.

In a certain water camp

"My lord Liu Jingsheng, General Gan, also knows that he is the lord of Jingzhou appointed by the imperial court. He is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a famous person in the country."

"Now, my lord heard about my brother Kuai Yidu’s recommendation and knew that General Gan was a talented general, so he ordered his subordinates to come to conquer the army. I hope that General Gan you can return to my lord’s command."

"In this way, General Gan can also show his talents to help the lord resist Liu Bei's invasion and protect the safety of the people of Jingzhou."

In the main hall.

Kuai Pai stood with his hands behind his hands, his head held high, and he spoke with high-sounding words, expressing his intention to conquer the country.

The young general sitting high on the throne was sipping the wine carelessly, as if he regarded Kuai Pai as if it were air..

This contemptuous attitude made Kuai Kuai quite unhappy.

As a son of the Kuai family, what a status he has.

If he hadn't been entrusted by Liu Biao, he would not have come to this den of thieves alone to say a compliment that was against his will. Ci, to recruit such a humble water thief in front of him. But thinking that he had a mission, Kuai Kuai had to suppress his dissatisfaction and asked again:

"Our state pastor is determined to conquer General Pigan, but I wonder what General Gan wants? Gan

Ning glanced at him sideways and said sarcastically:

"After talking for a long time, it’s not just Liu Biao who wants to recruit me, why are you so long-winded?"

Kuai Kuai was stunned.

He thought that the Jinfan thief would be ecstatic when he learned that Liu Biao was recruiting him.

However, he didn't expect that the other party was not happy at all and ridiculed him.

Kuai Kuai was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to do.

"I'm curious, since Liu Biao thought I was a talented general, why didn't he reuse me earlier?"

"Now Liu Xuande drinks the Mahan River and is about to cross the Han River and kill Xiangyang. At this juncture, he thinks of me?"

Gan Ning knew it, but pretended to be confused.

There was an obvious sarcasm in his tone.

".Well..."

Kuai Chui had sweat rolling down his forehead, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain his perfunctory behavior.

"Back then, I was ordered by Liu Biao to infiltrate Shu. After the failure, I was forced to withdraw to Jingzhou."

"At that time, why did Liu Biao abandon me like a piece of shit and not give me a chance to serve him?"

"Kuai Chu, can you explain to me?"

Kuai Bao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his mind was racing, and he was thinking about how to deal with it.

After rolling his eyes a few times, he said with a smile:

"I won’t hide it from General Gan. In fact, my lord has admired you General for a long time and has long wanted to put you to good use."

"At that time, I just considered that the general was young and young, so I wanted to deliberately hide him for a few years, so that I could sharpen my character, general."

As soon as he made up this reason,

Gan Ning suddenly burst into laughter.

There was no trace of irony in his laughter.

Kuai Bai was embarrassed and confused when he saw Gan Ning laughing inexplicably. He didn't know why he got up again..The laughter suddenly stopped.

The smile on Gan Ning's face turned into deep contempt.

"When Liu Biao hires people, he only uses you and Kuai and Cai tribes. Who in the world doesn’t know this!"

"He doesn't use me because he dislikes my humble background and treats me like an ant."

"Now if he can honestly admit that he made a mistake in employing people, I would admire him for knowing his mistakes and being able to correct them."

"Now, all he can do is disgust me!"

Gan Ning stopped playing tricks on him, exposed Liu Biao's true face, and vented the resentment accumulated in his heart.

Seeing Gan Ning tearing up his face and speaking rudely to Liu Biao, Kuai Pai frowned suddenly, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Cold.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger and said:

"Gan Xingba, let bygones be bygones, why do you care so much?"

"Your lord is the shepherd of a state, do you still want him to apologize to you face to face and bow his head to admit his mistake?"

"Being able to serve your lord and have the opportunity to show off your talents, isn't this the opportunity you have always dreamed of?"

"You must cherish this hard-won opportunity, be bolder, and look forward. Kuai

Chui persuaded Gan Ning with earnest words, hinting that Gan Ning should be proud of Liu Biao's service and not settle old scores again.

Gan Ning raised the corners of his mouth and sneered:

"Kuai Kuai, you are worthy of being a descendant of the Kuai family. You are really naturally self-righteous."

"What makes you think that I, Gan Ning, have to sacrifice my life for Liu Biao? Kuai

Chui was stunned for a moment, and an ominous premonition hit his heart.

Just as he was about to speak,

Gan Ning said loudly:"Sun Zheng, please show up.""

As soon as the words fell.

In the direction of the inner hall, a scribe walked out slowly with a sarcastic sneer.

"Sun...Sun Qian?"

Kuai Chui blurted out an exclamation and called out the man's name.

When he was on an envoy to Xinye, he had naturally seen most of the military generals and civil servants in Liu Bei's camp, and he recognized Sun Qian at a glance.

"Mr. Kuai, we meet again. Sun

Qian looked at him with a sneer.

Kuai Kui shouted in surprise:"Why are you here?""

"Aren't you asking knowingly? Of course I am here to ask General Gan to help my lord and help the Han Dynasty."

Sun Qian said disapprovingly.

Kuai Kuai suddenly changed his color.

Kuai Yue's worries still occurred.

Liu Bei also took a fancy to Gan Ning and sent Sun Qian to recruit him.

And he was one step ahead of him.

Kuai Kuai looked at Gan Ning anxiously..Gan

Ning slowly stood up, and his resolute and solemn gaze shot at him like a blade.

"Liu Biao, this stupid old man, abandoned me like a piece of shit and treated me like a piece of grass!"

"However, Duke Xuande didn't care about my family background, he treated me as a worthy corporal, and invited me with great gifts to come out and help the Han Dynasty!"

"He thinks so highly of me that I have decided to submit to his command, command the navy for him, cross the Han River, and capture Xiangyang!"

"I want to help Duke Xuande seize Jingzhou, which belongs to Liu Biao’s old dog!"

Gan Ning expressed his position in front of the two envoys.

Sun Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly admired Deng Mu's ability to recognize people. As expected,

Gan Xingba fell to Liu Bei.

But Kuai Kui was horrified. His expression changed, as if he couldn't believe it, Gan Ning actually chose Liu Bei.

A real Zhou Mu, a Han clan clan member with red roots, and Liu Biao, a famous person in the country, why didn't you choose Han?

You actually chose Liu Bei, such a person A descendant of the Liu family, a mat weaver and shoe seller with only one county?

"Gan Ning!"

"You left my lord disloyal and went to join Liu Bei, a man who weaves mats and sells shoes?"

"You are simply blind!"

Kuai Kui was so shocked and angry that he lost his mind and shouted angrily at Gan Ning.
