Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Captain (Fourth Shift)
Guan Ping was Liu Bei's question, and hurriedly introduced energetically: "Lord." This strong man is called Gan Ning, the word Xingba, and he is a native of Yizhou. The general of the bear and tiger, the enemy of ten thousand people. Because there is a gap with Liu Zhang, he defected to Liu Biao, Liu Biao didn't need it, so he defected to Huang Zu, and Huang Zu didn't need it, he was planning to defect to Jiangdong, and was caught by his nephew, and he brought hundreds of elite soldiers under his command to see you. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Ping bowed his hand to Liu Bei and said solemnly: "Lord, my nephew is willing to guarantee his life and promote Gan Ning as a captain." ”
Gan Ning also took a look, although Guan Ping said that he would protect him, but with his net worth and life, this is too heavy.
Gan Ning's personality is like this, so he is naturally very moved. In addition to being moved, there was also a little nervousness. Gan Ning's husband would not have been like this.
But he has changed his court three times, and Liu Bei is almost the last chance here, so he is naturally a little nervous.
Of course Liu Bei didn't agree.
Although Liu Bei can trust Guan Ping, because of Guan Ping's words, he will set up a general to lead the army, which is impossible.
But Liu Bei's heart is also moved, Guan Ping has proved one point, this stinky boy is by no means an idle boy with a long horn, and he will not let go of it.
Besides, Gan Ning didn't come by himself. Hundreds of soldiers came to defect.
These hundreds of people are also quite a good force for Liu Bei. After all, before this, Liu Bei had only 3,000 people.
Now the army has been expanded to 6,000 people, but half of them are new recruits, and they have not formed a combat force.
Gan Ning led hundreds of people to defect, and this power is really considerable.
"What about this one?" Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he did not immediately agree to Guan Ping's guarantee, but turned his head to look at Ding Fengdao.
Guan Ping was not surprised by this, if Liu Bei agreed, it would really be child's play. Guan Ping said: "Ding Feng, the word Chengyuan, loyal to the liver and courage. ”
Guan Ping told Liu Bei about Ding Feng's affairs roughly.
Liu Bei said in a faceless manner: "What a righteous man. ”
Even Gan Ning was sideways, Ding Feng didn't say much, Gan Ning didn't say a few words to Ding Feng, but it was the first time he knew that this person actually had such an experience.
Loyal ministers and filial sons, righteous martyrs are known to the world.
Such a person is generally easy to gain people's favor. Gan Ning, Liu Bei's good impression of Ding Feng immediately rose to an extremely high position.
But then things developed strangely, Liu Bei said: "Ping'er, such a righteous man, treat him as a good student." Let's go down. ”
Guan Ping was dumbfounded, be prepared, be prepared, this is the general I found for you, the general of Eastern Wu, you should wake up with a smile in your dreams.
How does it look like I'm free to dispose of it?
Guan Ping quickly came to his senses, I am afraid there are two reasons, one is that although Liu Bei has a good impression of Ding Feng, he does not know much about it, and Ding Feng is young.
The second is that Liu Bei is afraid that he will be anxious to sit down with Gan Ning and talk, that is, to take the school examination and check the checks, and then decide whether to use Gan Ning as the leading general.
Compared to Gan Ning, Ding Feng does seem to be an incidental product.
Guan Ping just thought about it, and decided to wait for the opportunity to recommend Ding Feng to Liu Bei in the future. After that, Guan Ping, Ding Feng, and Wei Yan left the study. Then Guan Ping said goodbye to Wei Yan, and returned to the mansion with Ding Feng and Ding Feng brothers.
Of course, Dad Guan Yu was not there, so he went to train recruits.
Mother Liu, who does not take vacations all year round, stays at home.
"It's back." After Liu got the news, he came to greet Guan Ping, and the two met in the front yard. Liu and Guan Ping have a very good relationship, after Guan Ping went to Jiangdong, Liu was worried, and had a few nightmares, at this moment saw Guan Ping come back safely, there was no missing arm or leg, and there was a bright smile on his face.
"Mother." Guan Ping was about to kneel down to pay respects, but Liu pulled Guan Ping up. After the mother and son talked a few words, Liu noticed Brother Ding Feng and couldn't help asking, "Ping'er, these two are." ”
"Ding Feng, Ding Feng brothers. Well. Guan Ping thought for a while and said, "Count yourself as my doorman." "This person will still be handed over to Liu Bei in the future, a person like Ding Feng is a strong general, but he is still by his side as a doorman.
"Ma'am." Ding Feng and Ding Feng brothers saluted Liu.
Liu Shi wanted to laugh when he heard it, this stinky boy, the official is not a military candidate, how can He De actually learn from the son of a family to raise a guest. However, in front of outsiders, Liu never fell behind. Hearing this, Ding Feng said to Ding Feng, Brother Ding Feng: "Okay." In the future, Ping'er will trouble you to take care of it more. ”
"No." Ding Feng, Ding Feng's brother promised to say.
The two brothers don't care about this, Ding Feng is different from Gan Ning, Gan Ning is already at the peak of his life, and he is eager to prove himself and pay homage to the marquis.
Ding Feng is young and has no great ambitions for the time being, and Ding Feng is an outlaw, and he is very satisfied that he can be brought back by Guan Ping.
In the end, Guan Ping was the son of the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion and the future Marquis of Hanshou. Being his doorman is not insulting.
After some words in the front yard, Guan Ping took Ding Feng and Ding Feng brothers to live in Guan's house. Early the next morning, Guan Ping took Ding Feng and Ding Feng brothers to Xiangyang Longzhong to see Zhuge Liang.
Because before leaving Wu County, Zhuge Jin gave Guan Ping a letter from home and asked Guan Ping to bring it back to Zhuge Liang.
This matter is about peace, and naturally it will not be neglected. To be honest, Guan Ping tossed and turned last night, because he was going to see Zhuge Liang.
Who is Zhuge Liang?
Prime Minister.
It's not that Guan Ping is arrogant, in the country of Shu Han, Dad and Zhang Laosan are not as important as Zhuge Liang.
That's why Guan Ping lost sleep, thought about countless scenes, and prepared countless speeches. But it didn't work.
Zhuge Liang exerted his skills of not being at home, Guan Ping went to Longzhong and did not see Zhuge Liang, even Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhuge Jun and his wife Huang Yueying did not see him, and I heard that the family went out together.
I don't know what I did.
Guan Ping could only hand over the letter to the servants of Zhuge Liang's family, and then rode back to Xinye with Ding Feng and Ding Feng.
A little disappointed, but nothing at all.
Anyway, it is common for Zhuge Liang to be not at home, and Liu Bei only saw Zhuge Liang when he went to Longzhong for the third time, leaving an allusion to the grass house three times.
After returning home, Guan Ping plans to stay at home for a few more days. Take the opportunity to be lazy and not go to work in the barracks. Not long after Guan Ping returned home, he heard a report from the old soldier, saying that Captain Gan had asked to see him and had been placed in the lobby to rest.
Guan Ping was stunned for a moment, and then immediately went to the lobby. Guan Ping entered the lobby and saw Gan Ning kneeling in the guest seat.
The person is still the same person, but the spirit is different. Guan Ping could see that Gan Ning was overjoyed and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Congratulations to Brother Gan, you got what you wanted." Guan Ping hurriedly stepped forward and congratulated.
"Thank you for this, brother Xian." Gan Ning hurriedly said. After a few words, Guan Ping came to the main seat and sat down, and asked people to bring boiling water.
"Brother Gan, the lord appointed you as a captain, I don't know if there are any more soldiers and horses?" Guan Ping took a sip of boiling water and asked.
"Nope. At present, Xinye has just expanded its army, and money, food, and equipment are still tight. The lord said that after a period of time, when the situation improved, he ordered me to expand the army with Wei Wenchang, and also led 2,000 soldiers and horses each. ”
Gan Ning shook his head and said, he won't drink boiling water.
"My father Guan Gong, my uncle Zhang Gong, Uncle Wei, General Chen, plus Brother Gan. If the military power is expanded to 2,000, then there will be 10,000 soldiers and horses. After a year or two, it will be doubled again, and it will not be difficult to receive 4,000 soldiers and horses per person. With 4,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Cao's subordinates are also generals. Congratulations, Brother Gan, you finally got what you wanted. ”
Guan Ping congratulated again.
Gan Ning shook his head, but he held his head high and said ambitiously: "The virtuous brother is underestimated as a brother, and the soldiers and horses are just the capital." Only by paying homage to the marquis can you get what you want. ”
"Hahaha." Guan Ping laughed.
Soon after, Gan Ning took his leave and left. Before leaving, Gan Ning expressed his gratitude, which was also the purpose of his visit to Guan Ping this time.
Thanks to Guan Ping, dissuaded him from going to Jiangdong and brought him to Xinye. Under Huang Zu, he was just a military candidate, and when he went to Jiangdong, I am afraid that he would not be able to get up for a while.
But after arriving in Xinye, he met with Liu Bei and had a long talk, and he became the leading general, promising 2,000 soldiers and horses.
It's tantamount to standing on the ground and soaring.
Gan Ning was very grateful to Guan Ping, and he was also very glad to follow Guan Ping to Xinye. Full of enthusiasm and looking forward to the future.
Guan Ping is also very happy, this time, it can be regarded as Gan Ning, and Gan Xingba officially settled in the Shu Han family.
Sun Shiwan can no longer say the sentence "I have Xingba, but I can defeat Zhang Liao".
On the contrary, Liu Bei may say, "I have six tiger generals." ”
Hahaha.
It's exciting to think about.
This time I went to Jiangdong, and the biggest gain was not to sell Mi's wine, but to bring back Gan Ning, Ding Feng.
Hehehe.
After Guan Ping sent Gan Ning away, he returned to the room alone. Before the buttocks were hot, Liu Shi came over and said to Guan Ping: "Ping'er, the lord is looking for you." Sit in your father's study. ”
Guan Ping wondered when he heard this, what are you looking for me for? You won't want me to go to Bashu again, will you? Guan Ping didn't want to go.
Anyway, there is not much to go to in Bashu, so Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Wu Yi and others, and most of them have surrendered in the future.
As for the sales of Mi's wine, there is no need to worry.
Since there are already people in Jiangdong who are buying wine, it means that Liu Biao's trade blockade has collapsed. It is estimated that Liu Biao will also break the jar and let it go.
As long as Jingzhou and Jiangdong have a good reputation for Mi's wine, it will naturally be introduced to Bashu.
Businessmen seek profits, and as long as there is business, they will come to the door.
But I wonder about it, and I still have to go and see it when I am ready. This is the top thick thigh, the top boss, His Majesty the Emperor.
Guan Ping hurriedly said goodbye to the Liu family and came to Guan Yu's study to see Liu Bei. Liu Bei was also not polite, and occupied Guan Yu's position and sat down.
Guan Ping came in from outside, as if he were a guest.
Chen arrived, and General Chen was guarding outside the door, not saying a word.
"Uncle Chen." Guan Ping was not presumptuous, and first saluted Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi nodded slightly, which was regarded as an answer.
Chen to, Mi Wei, these two dream gourds.
"My lord." Guan Ping entered the study and bowed deeply to Liu Bei.
"Come and sit." Liu Bei greeted with a smile. Guan Ping twisted a little, but looking at Liu Bei's eyes, he had no choice but to come to Liu Bei and sit down. Liu Bei, the pervert, really touched Guan Ping's horns, and he was very close.
"Ping'er, you are really my lucky general." Liu Bei said with feelings.
Guan Ping is inexplicable, isn't this a matter of course, how can you specifically praise me for this? Guan Ping's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Bei cutely.
Liu Bei said with a smile: "I just got the news, and Liu Biao was so angry that he couldn't block Mi's wine." Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had no choice but to lift the blockade of Mi's wine. After all, Mi's wine is a good wine, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun forcibly blocked it, and the pressure was not small. ”
Sure enough. Guan Ping thought to himself, he was thinking about this just now. For Liu Biao's hateful guy who was half angry, Guan Ping was happy.
I wish that guy vomited blood and burped.
"And Na Ganning, I talked with him freely, talking about arranging troops, marching and fighting, and he was quite insightful. As for martial arts, it is really ten thousand enemies. A hundred steps away, you can shoot copper coins, and your riding skills are also very exquisite. I asked your Uncle Wei to fight with him on horseback, and the two of them stopped at the point, regardless of victory or defeat. Tiger general. ”
Liu Bei said with great emotion.
Those who win souls win the world, in this era, I am afraid that no one understands this sentence better than Liu Bei. Cao Cao and Sun Quan are not as good as Liu Bei at this point.
Thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find.
Tiger generals are like Gan Ning, they are really one in a million, the best general. Liu Bei has been bumpy for half his life, and by chance, it is just Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Chen Zhi and others.
Guan Ping, a stinky boy, went to Jiangdong and brought a little Gan Ning when he came back, he was really lucky, what is this not a blessing?
Guan Ping was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Wei Yan to actually try it with Gan Ning? Wei Yan has a rigid and reserved personality, and he is very proud.
Guan Ping had already seen that Wei Yan wanted to fight with Gan Ning, and Gan Ning was not easy to mess with.
I hope these two guys don't have any contradictions.
"Fortunately, I'm not the lord, otherwise I would have had a terrible headache. Wei Yan, Guan Yu, and Gan Ning are all not easy to mess with, and Zhang Laosan's book is also a problem child, but fortunately it was solved by me. So that the preparation is less of such a big trouble. ”
Guan Ping gloated in his heart.
As for Liu Bei, when he came to Guan Ping this time, he really came to see Guan Ping and talk. This eldest nephew is really a blessing.
Touching the total horn of the eldest nephew, it feels like divination and getting a hexagram. Liu Bei is used to touching the horns, and it is very smooth.
It's quite easy to be with the eldest nephew, Liu Bei also put it aside. After touching the horns on Guan Ping's head, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Ping'er, I'm planning to expand the city." ”
Guan Ping looked at Liu Bei and didn't say anything.
"Why Ping'er, you don't seem surprised?" Liu Bei said with a smile.
"When I came back, I felt that Shinno Castle was too small, and it was crowded when the population was large. If the future lord has a population of two or three hundred thousand, two or thirty thousand elite soldiers. I also need a city that can fit the population and soldiers. ”
Guan Ping looked insulted and pouted.
"Stinky boy is so clever." Liu Bei said with a smile, and habitually touched the horn on Guan Ping's head, which was really a bit addictive.
