Chapter Seventy-Three: Ben Wu
There is a person named Judge under Gan Ning's command, and the relationship between the two is very good. When Gan Ning was a thief, he was Gan Ning's brother, and later joined the army together.
Gan Ning is the main one, and the trial is more deputy. This time, Gan Ning went south to Changsha to hunt, and the trial guard was responsible for staying in the camp.
Gan Ning's trip to Changsha and Nanjun is a long journey. The trial was a little worried, but when he heard that Gan Ning was back and had brought a lot of food, the trial was overjoyed and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"What rare goods did my brother hunt, how did he get so much food? And brought back a dozen horses? The judge greeted Gan Ning into the camp and was very curious.
The soldiers in the camp cheered and rushed to carry the food. When he crossed Gan Ning, he was solemn, bent down to greet him, and said, "Lord Soldier." β
Very respectful.
"I hunted a tiger, and with good luck, the arrow entered from the left eye, and the tiger's skin was intact. I went to Gangneung and sold it for twenty gold, and as for these dozen or so horses, I killed a gang of robbers to get them. Seeing his good brother, Gan Ning's gloomy and cold face showed a little smile.
That arrow actually has an element of luck, Gan Ning's archery is very good, but in that case, in the face of a moving tiger, it is impossible to hit every shot.
If you hit the forehead, the value of the tiger skin will be greatly reduced.
"My brother was lucky, he got a tiger skin, and he met a robber." The judge was very happy, but the words he said were a little strange.
Is it good luck to meet a robber?
This also proves from the side how rough Gan Ning is, when he encounters a robber, it is the robber who is unlucky.
"Good luck indeed." The smile on Gan Ning's face was spreading. As they spoke, the two brothers went to the tent and sat down.
And his own soldiers took wine and flesh and came in to serve. Gan Ning sat on the main seat, drinking and eating meat, and asked, "Has there been any movement in Jiangxia recently?"
"It's not a big deal." The judge thought about it for a while, then picked up a piece of fat and put it in the final chew a few bites, and swallowed it indiscriminately, because he remembered one thing, and said enviously: "I heard that Huang Zu has another concubine, which is very beautiful and moving." That guy is more than fifty years old, how can he still have such energy. β
When Gan Ning heard this, he showed disdain, and said bluntly: "Huang Zu's military discipline is lax, and he is greedy for pleasure, and sooner or later he will die without a place to be buried. β
This is actually a clichΓ©, and the brothers have said it before. The judge took a sip of the wine bowl and said depressedly: "It's a pity that our brother is working under this old and lustful guy who is greedy for pleasure. β
Gan Ning was silent for a moment, and then continued to eat and drink. While drinking in large chunks, tearing large pieces of meat, and gobbling them up, he said: "Forget it today, tomorrow I will go to find Su Dudu and ask about the future." β
"Brother wants to vote for someone else?" The judge showed a strong interest and was eager to try.
"There's this idea." Gan Ning nodded and said. The judge was even more excited, raised his bowl and said, "I wish my brother a smooth trip." β
Gan Ning nodded, raised his glass and drank the bowl with the judge.
After the night, the next morning. The judge personally took out the horse and handed the reins to Gan Ning, who picked up the horse whip and went to Xiling City with his eleven soldiers.
Although Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu was a subordinate of Liu Biao, from the perspective of independence, he was also a small independent prince. There was a governor under Huang Zu, named Su Fei, who nominally coordinated the military.
But in recent years, the relationship between Su Fei and Huang Zu has begun to drift apart.
On the contrary, the relationship between Gan Ning and Su Fei was very good, and after Gan Ning came to Jingzhou from Yizhou, he first attached himself to Liu Biao and was not reused. Through Su Fei's introduction, he was put into the command of Huang Zu.
After Gan Ning entered Xiling County, he first went to the hotel to buy a jar of good wine, and then went to Su Fei's mansion. Because the relationship between Su Fei and Gan Ning was very good, the porter did not report it, and directly brought Gan Ning in.
When Su Fei got the news to greet him, Gan Ning had already come in.
"Xingba, why are you here?" Su Fei was in his early forties, with a fair complexion, a fat head and big ears, as if he was a rich man, not like a general. Su Fei was very happy to see Gan Ning and greeted.
"I haven't come to see my brother for a few days, and I miss him very much." Gan Ning's cold and gloomy face rarely showed a hearty smile, and he also hugged the wine jar and gestured, saying, "I brought good wine." β
Su Fei was happy when he heard this, but shook his head with a smile and said, "You came to visit my brother, my brother is naturally happy." But even if you forget about this wine, you can tell at a glance that it is a wine from Xiling. I have a jar of wine here, which has recently become very famous in Jingzhou, called Mishi wine. Come on, let's have a bowl together, and after you're done drinking, you won't want to drink anything else. β
"Is there any wine like that? But I didn't believe it. Gan Ning was slightly surprised when he heard this, showing disbelief. Su Fei laughed, took Gan Ning's hand to the small hall, and then asked people to prepare wine and food.
"It's good wine." Gan Ning took a sip of Mi's wine and said sincerely.
"Hahaha." Su Fei laughed, but also reminded: "This wine is strong, don't be greedy." β
"Okay." Gan Ning responded, drank the Mishi wine in the bowl one by one, and did not forget the wine and food, and ate it like a storm.
After eating and drinking, the two brothers came to the study to talk. Gan Ning showed a straight face, put his hands on his knees, straightened his waist and abdomen, and said to Su Fei: "Brother, I came to see my brother this time, I actually want to find another way, so I came to talk to my brother." β
Su Fei sighed when he heard this, but he was not surprised. said: "The sun and the moon pass, and life is geometric." What's more, Xingba you are not an ordinary person, brave and good at fighting, for the world's tiger generals, it is indeed a pity to waste years. β
After a pause, Su Fei sighed again: "Actually, brother, I have recommended Xingba to the lord many times, but someone has made a hindrance from it, and the lord is not enterprising, so. Ay. β
"Forget it, forget it. Don't talk about these unpleasant things. Since Xingba wants to find another way, he must have a goal. Who do you want to go to? How can I help, brother? β
Su Fei shook his head and smiled.
Naturally, there is nothing to hide between the brothers, and Gan Ning came to Su Fei and really wanted Su Fei to help. So, Gan Ning arched his hand and said: "The younger brother wants to vote for the Jiangdong Sun family, since Sun Jian started, Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, and Sun Quan succeeded to the throne." Sun's father and son were brave and good at fighting, and after Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he was able to quickly quell the rebellion and stabilize Jiangdong. He is also recruiting talents, and I think his plan is not small. Liu Biao Confucian, after all, there is nothing to do. Huang Zu is old and lustful, and sooner or later he will be defeated. So the younger brother plans to defect to Sun Quan and run for a future. β
Su Fei agreed when he heard this: "Jiangdong Sun Quan is by no means an idle person. Immediately, Su Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Xingba, the hundreds of people you lead, without a legitimate reason, I'm afraid you won't be able to cross Jiangdong." Why don't I recommend to the lord that Xingba you are the county commander of Yi County, Yi County is close to Jiangdong, and you take the opportunity to take your subordinates to Sun Quan. β
"Thank you, brother." Gan Ning showed joy and thanked him.
