Chapter Seventy-Six: The Lobbyist
Gan Ning's words, of course, came from the bottom of his heart. This man is a man of great face, and when he was a thief in the past, others received him with all his heart, and he treated them with all his heart.
If others despise him, he can kill the whole family.
Later, he began to read and restrain his mind, but his nature was difficult to change. What he likes most is that others value him and respect him.
Guan Ping's status is not low, but he is the son of Guan Yu, the general of Hanshou Pavilion, so he is of course happy to make friends with him.
But after all, the two were only meeting for the first time, and Gan Ning had nothing to say. Guan Ping has something to say, he has been thinking about it for several days.
It's just that Gan Ning suddenly left Jiangxia ahead of schedule and went to Jiangdong, disrupting his steps. Guan Ping pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Is there anyone under Gan Zhuangshi who is good at fishing?" ”
"Yes, yes." Gan Ning was a little confused for a while.
"Then why don't you send someone to catch some fish for barbecue, how about we drink, eat fish, and talk?" Guan Ping said with a smile.
Gan Ning is actually like an arrow, hoping to go to Jiangdong as soon as possible, defect to Sun Quan, and be reused. But the new friend gave him face like this, of course he had to repay the favor.
"Okay." Gan Ning readily responded, and asked his brother to assign someone to fish, and many of his soldiers could go down to the river to fish without tools.
And at this moment, it is already afternoon, since I want to talk freely with Guan Ping, I will definitely not be able to go today. Gan Ning simply let his subordinates set up camp.
Set up the big tent first.
After the big tent was erected, the soldiers even took the fish test. Guan Ping, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and the four of them sat down separately, drank together, and ate grilled fish at the same time.
The three of them were talking politely, one in the east and one in the west.
As for why there were three people, because Wei Yan was always reserved and basically didn't speak. After the wine and food were full, Guan Ping spit out the fish bones and put the wine bowl down. He arched his hand and said to Gan Ning: "Brother Gan, I heard that Brother Gan originally came to defect to Liu Zhennan, but Liu Zhennan despised Brother Gan, so Brother Gan defected to Huang Zu. ”
"It's true, that Liu Biao Confucian doesn't understand military affairs, I think he will be merged with sooner or later, and he won't be able to become a big thing after all." Gan Ning had already made up his mind to defect to Sun Quan, and he was very close to Guan Ping, so he said very happily.
"What Brother Gan said is that there are just dry bones in Liu Zhennan's mound. But in my opinion, this Huang Zu is even more unbearable than Liu Biao. ”
Guan Ping was calm, but he said the words of a tiger and a wolf.
Liu Biao is far away in Xiangyang, but Huang Zu is close to Jiangxia. And Gan Ning is still a subordinate of Huang Zu, although Gan Ning is quite close to Guan Ping (mainly because Guan Ping has a high status and looks up to him), but he has not been close to that kind of part.
Gan Ning didn't say Huang Zu like Liu Biao, but just haha: "Huang Jiangxia (referring to Huang Zu), there is still merit. ”
"Brother Gan is suspicious of me?" Guan Ping's expression remained unchanged, but he said the words of a tiger and a wolf again.
"Why did the little general say that?" Gan Ning was surprised, and the interrogators also showed surprise, not knowing why Guan Ping spoke like this.
"Brother Gan, the general of the bear and the tiger, looks forward to the majesty of his own. But he has repeatedly surrendered to the mediocre master. No reuse. It should have been depressed, but now I see that Brother Gan is not depressed, but like a fish in the sea, he is at ease. I see that my brother is going to be the county commander under his name, I'm afraid he wants to go to Jiangdong and meet Sun Quan, right? ”
Guan Ping put his right hand flat on his chest, gave a thumbs up, patted Gan Ning's ass, and then pointed his index finger at Gan Ning, and his words were chiseled.
Gan Ning, who was shocked when he heard this, glanced at each other and gasped. Why is this person so clear about our strategy with Su Fei, as if he has seen it with his own eyes?
Gan Ning's face was even more tense, could it be that I was really too carried away and showed my flaws?
Guan Ping saw the expressions of the two, smiled, felt a little uncomfortable in his knees, stood up and sat cross-legged, and said confidently: "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”
Ganning City Mansion is not so deep, it is exposed at the moment, there is no cheekiness to refute, and there is no rhetoric. Instead, the judge said: "The little general's words are too heavy, and our brothers can't afford it." You must know that Mrs. Huang treats our brother well, how can our brother leave him. ”
Guan Ping glanced at the review, but there was no such person. Instead, he smiled and said to himself: "Thinking about Jiangdong, it is indeed a good place." There is the Yangtze River moat in the north, there are lofty mountains and mountains in the south, after the yellow scarf, the clothes are in the south, and there are quite literati and doctors gather in Jiangdong, which is appointed by the Sun family. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are among them. ”
"Sun Jian, Sun Ce started a business, Sun Quan succeeded him, this person is wise and martial, and he is assisted by a group of sages, and he is a hundred times better than Liu Biao. Brother Gan's eyes are good, it's right to choose this person. ”
Gan Ning was seen through the strategy by Guan Ping, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Hearing the words at this moment, he nodded slightly, because what Guan Ping said was what he thought.
Sun Quan is so good, he is willing to go to it.
But Guan Ping changed his words and said: "But it is precisely because of Jiangdong that Brother Gan can't defect." ”
"Why?" Gan Ning raised his eyebrows, revealing a puzzled look. Didn't you just boast three times, why do you say that again?
"Brother Gan, do you know Wancheng Zhang Xiu, Jia Xuhu?" Guan Ping's mouth was a little dry, and there was also a bowl of water on the desk, so he took a sip of water and asked.
"Know." Gan Ning nodded, but became more and more puzzled, are these two related to the topic they are talking about now?
At that time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao confronted each other in Hebei, and Yuan Shao sent envoys to recruit Zhang Xiu. At that time, Yuan Shaohu was in four states and looked at the world. Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is a small soldier. Zhang Xiu was moved and wanted to vote for Yuan Shao. Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to defect to Cao Cao, one of which was because Yuan Shao was full of talents, although Zhang Xiu was talented, but after defecting to Yuan Shao, I am afraid that he would be unknown. ”
Guan Ping said seriously.
In fact, this is nonsense, Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to defect to Cao Cao, and said three reasons, but there was no such reason.
But this matter did not spread, Gan Ning definitely didn't know, so Guan Ping used it to talk nonsense.
Gan Ning's heart moved when he heard this, and Guan Ping continued: "Brother Gan is the general of the bear and the tiger, and the enemy of ten thousand people. "Another round of sycophancy.
You must tout Gan Ning as comfortable.
Then Guan Ping continued: "I know, brother. Speaking of this, Guan Ping bowed his hand to the trial again and said, "Brother Juan also knows." But the world doesn't know. That Jiangdong Sun Ce started a business, leaving Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Tai Shici and other generations, who are first-class figures, and the rest of the elites are innumerable. Brother Gan took hundreds of men and horses to Jiangdong, although he would get military positions, Sima and other positions, but it may be difficult to be a captain. In the long run, there will be no name. ”
Gan Ning didn't think about it this way, but Guan Ping said it so conclusively, it was a seduction, and it was an explicit statement, and Gan Ning couldn't help but think about it.
Thinking about it this way, of course, it is difficult to sit still.
Su Fei said very well, the years go by, and life is geometric. Gan Ning acted recklessly when he was a teenager, and later studied to restrain his nature, first to Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son, and then to Liu Biao, Huang Zu, who has been in trouble for many years, if he goes to Jiangdong again, Jiangdong is full of talents.
Gan Ning is very confident that he is stronger than those Jiangdong generals, and when the time comes, he can also soar confidently.
But what if the timing doesn't arise?
What if it takes another three or five years, or even longer?
For Gan Ning, this is not a good thing.
Not to mention Gan Ning, even the trial was hesitant. The two of them were bent on defecting to Jiangdong, but at this moment, they were talked nonsense by Guan Ping, and they were in a big mess, and they became suspicious for a while.
Guan Ping didn't have to say how happy he was in his heart, traverser, he knew everything, and knowing that you had a good face, I would do what he liked.
Knowing what you Gan Ning is worried about, I will say anything.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get my hands dirty.
Although he was happy in his heart, Guan Ping's face became more and more serious on the surface, he simply stood up, straightened his waist, and bowed his hand to Gan Ning: "What does Brother Gan think of me?" Is it credible? ”
"Brother Xian is my little friend, so he is naturally credible." This question is very sudden, and Gan Ning can only answer it like this. In fact, in his heart, the more Gan Ning thought about it, the more shocked he became.
This man is a monster.
He can guess that I am going to defect to Sun Quan, and he can know so many things, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Quan, these heroes, have all analyzed it.
He is also very eloquent.
This.
Gan Ning looked at the horns on Guan Ping's head, and only felt dazzling. This kid is incredible.
Guan Ping naturally didn't know what Gan Ning was thinking, so he just said with a smile: "I am willing to be a captain in front of General Zuo, how about Brother Bao Gan?" ”
That's the killer move.
If you say I'm credible, then I'm willing to recommend you as a captain, then you should trust me.
Lift the clouds and see the dawn.
Gan Ning, the judge only felt suddenly enlightened, it turned out that this kid said so many things just to say this sentence.
The sun finally appeared in the clouds.
Defected to Liu Bei.
Gan Ning had never had this idea before, but at this moment, he couldn't help but think about it in this direction, is this feasible?
At this moment, Guan Ping said again: "Compared with Liu Biao, General Zuo has a strong name, and Jingzhou is heroic. Recently, because of Mi's wine, General Zuo is recruiting troops. Within three to five years, Xinye will have a population of 230,000 and 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers. When the time comes, there will be a lot to be done. What's more, General Zuo lacks talents under his command, and he will only be able to do it with his father, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Wei Yan and others. Although I am young, I have a thin face in front of General Zuo, and I am willing to recommend Brother Gan. If Brother Gan defects, he will be the leader of the army. Isn't it a hundred times better to go than to go to Jiangdong? ”
Is Gan Ning excited?
It's impossible not to be impressed.
This is Liu Bei's biggest advantage, famous in the world, and a hero in the world, which even Sun Quan can't compare. When Liu Bei raised the army, Sun Quan was still playing with mud.
Of course, there is another important reason, Mi's wine.
Now Gan Ning already knows that Liu Bei relies on the gold mine of Mi's wine to recruit troops and horses, and his strength is increasing. Two or three hundred thousand people, two or three hundred thousand elite soldiers.
This is already comparable to the strength of Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu.
And Gan Ning was willing to defect to Huang Zu before, why can't he defect to Liu Bei at this moment?
Liu Bei is much more reliable than Huang Zu.
Gan Ning's heart was agitated for a while, but he would not agree in one go. Gan Ning looked at him left and right, showed his hair color, and said, "I'm drunk for my brother." ”
"Brother rest first." Guan Ping said with a very interesting hand.
"Brother Ju, you personally settle the little general to live." Gan Ning said to the trial.
"No." The judge agreed, stood up and said to Guan Ping very politely, and Wei Yan said, "Little general, Wei Jun is invited." ”
Guan Ping nodded, and walked out with Wei Yan along with the trial.
Soon after, the trial was reversed.
"Brother, what do you think?" After the trial came in, he immediately couldn't wait to say to Gan Ning.
"What about you?" Gan Ning looked up at this good brother and asked.
"I don't know where the little general knows where to know that your brother is a skilled martial artist, and he thinks he is a usable person. guessed that his brother was going to defect to Sun Quan, so he chased after him non-stop. In fact, he could not be trusted, because he was a lobbyist. But I think he has a point. Although General Zuo is not as strong as Sun Quan's foundation, he is also showing his strength. If my brother wants to come out, it doesn't seem bad to defect to General Zuo. ”
The judge had obviously been thinking about it for a long time in his heart, so he didn't think twice.
"Rest well tonight." Gan Ning said.
"What do you mean, brother?" The judge even showed a look of doubt.
"Tomorrow, we will go to Xinye with this little general and defect to General Zuo." Gan Ning said with a smile.
"No."
The judge promised to go down happily.
After the trial left, Gan Ning showed a confused look and sighed: "I hope this time I made the right choice." ”
Gan Ning first defected to Liu Yan and his son in Yizhou, and then saw that Liu Zhang was weak, so he betrayed Liu Zhang and defected to Liu Biao, and when he saw that Liu Biao was weak, he defected to Huang Zu.
The world says that Lu Bu is a slave with three surnames, but in fact, he is not bad. After many years, Gan Ning was very taboo about who to choose as the lord, for fear of defecting to the mediocre lord again.
This time, I listened to the lobbying of the little general Guan and defected to Liu Bei, but in fact, Gan Ning didn't know that it was right, and he said it was wrong.
I can only hope that I will be ill-fated, and this time I will be able to walk on the road of Zhuangkang, and I don't need to go to anyone or anyone.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Gan Ning ordered someone to prepare wine and food to entertain Guan Ping, Wei Yan ate together, and sat with the judge. After the four of them had breakfast together, Gan Ning said to Guan Ping seriously: "Virtuous brother, he is not a talented brother, and he is willing to serve General Zuo and provide for him." Please also ask the virtuous brother to recommend. ”
Guan Ping actually had eighty percent of it in his heart, but at this moment, when he saw Gan Ning's official statement, he was still overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Gan, don't worry, Brother Gan will never regret this." ”
And rightfully so.
Don't say anything else.
Even if it is Liu Bei in history, it is also the foundation of the Han Dynasty that has established one of the three points in the world, and only Gan Ning can defect to Liu Bei, how can he be crowned a marquis and worship the general.
Not to mention that in this time and space, Liu Bei also has the help of me, a traverser. I dare not say that the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will dominate the world, at least it can also cross Jingyi, which is stronger than the Shu Han in history.
Gan Ning will never regret the decision he made today in the future.
After Guan Ping was happy, he said: "Please also ask my brother to go to Yi County first to make a few days of county orders and prepare ships." I will go south to Changsha first, and when I come back, I will join my brother and go north to see General Zuo. ”
