"Even so, it is very hateful, now that thousands of mountain bandits have just been captured, the speed of the march is definitely not fast, what is the best strategy for the military division?" Gan Ning has followed Liu Cong for several years, but he knows Liu Cong's habits, if the lord is here, he will definitely be reluctant to let these mountain bandits go, and he must be escorted back to be included.

"Now we can only send an order from Pegasus to Huo Jun to rush to the riverside, board the ship and garrison, and we will let go of the prisoners, quickly meet Qi Chun to rest, and then return to the army depending on the situation!" Xu Shu said slowly.

"Let go of the captives?" Gan Ning was obviously reluctant, as Xu Shu said, there were more than 2,000 people on Huo Jun's side, and the hurried march to the riverside to join the remaining naval army should be able to quickly bring all the warships back to Shaxian, if the Chaisang naval army continued to attack, Gan Ning and the others would return to Shaxian by land. Originally, Gan Ning agreed to Xu Shu's arrangement, but he didn't expect Xu Shu to say that he would let go of the prisoners.

"Strategist, do you know that these mountain bandits are much stronger than the Zigui mountain bandits and Wuling barbarians back then, if they can be brought back to Xiangyang, the lord must be very happy.

"Has the general forgotten the instructions of the lord before leaving, the lord has repeatedly reminded us that this time we are here to drive away the mountain bandits, as long as the mountain bandits do not continue to invade Jiangxia, we must reduce our losses as much as possible. And what is the purpose of the Chaisang Water Army, isn't it just to make us consume more on the issue of mountain bandits?

It's good that these mountain bandits can fight habitually, but general, there are still more than 2,000 people in Chen Lan's department who have not been captured, plus 5,000 people in Lei Ji, if we forcibly bring these captives back to Xiangyang, once the other mountain bandits know about it, they still think that we will kill their companions, and we will inevitably loot the people to take revenge.

Of course, there are also conditions for us to release these mountain bandits, that is, they are not allowed to step into Jiangxia again. Although the mountain bandits are fierce, Chen Lan and the others are not stupid, after seeing the power of our army, they should be somewhat restrained, and our army took this opportunity to instigate them to attack Lujiang or Jiujiang and Chaisang. “

"This ......" Listening to what Xu Shu said, Gan Ning was also a little hesitant, Liu Cong did say before setting off, reduce all unnecessary losses, and drive away the mountain bandits as soon as possible. On the way back to the county seat, Gan Ning kept thinking about Liu Cong's instructions and Xu Shu's words, trying to find out the common ground.

When Gan Ning led the team back to Qichun, the Jiangxia envoy also arrived. It turned out that Jin Yiwei informed Jiang Xia of the change of the Chaisang Navy as soon as possible, and Ma Liang naturally did not dare to slack off, and reported to Xiangyang as soon as possible to ask Liu Cong to decide. As soon as Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang discussed, they came to the same conclusion as Xu Shu.

Liu Cong still has this self-confidence, when he and Cao Cao fought fiercely in Fancheng, it was only the uncertain Cai Mao who was stationed in Jiangxia. Now that Liu Pan has arrived in Changsha, even if the Chaisang naval army has an advantage in combat power, it will not be able to conquer Shaxian in a short time, if it annoys Jingzhou, Chaisang will face an attack by land and water, especially the land route of Changsha may cause Chaisang to be empty and difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Liu Cong's reply to Ma Liang, Gan Ning and others was "Calculate the plan, and use the strength to fight!" ”

Gan Ningdi, who got the instructions, found Xu Shu again: "Military advisor, it seems that your plan is feasible, and the lord seems to know the tricks of the Chaisang Water Army, but this Chen Lan and Mei Cheng have been in the grass for many years, and if they are put back like this, will they continue to harm the people of Qichun?" ”

"General, bring Chen Lan here, the general doesn't need to say a word when he sits in the hall, and he is free to convince Chen Lan."

"That's great!" Gan Ning felt more and more the importance of strategists, when he was young, he felt that his martial arts were the most important, and after following Liu Cong for a few years, he slowly felt that the commander was more important for a general, such as Wenpin, such as Yu Ban, and the lord often praised him. Now it seems that this counselor is also very important.

According to the agreement, Gan Ning sat on top of the Qichun hall with a serious face, Xu Shu sat down next to him, and several soldiers quickly pushed Chen Lan, who was tied up, in. Along the way, Chen Lan's intestines were repentant. It was because he didn't listen to Lei Shu's words and wanted to take the initiative to move to Jiangxia, but Jiangxia sent officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, but he was still unwilling and wanted to look for opportunities elsewhere, but the whole army was wiped out.

The ambush of the officers and soldiers this time can be said to have a lot of flaws, but Chen Lan, who has been in the grass for many years, was negligent. Now that he has been pushed to the county office, he has nothing else to ask for in his heart, but he just hopes that the Jiangxia generals will be merciful and bypass some of his brothers.

"Chen Lan, do you recognize someone?" Gan Ning was shocked, obviously not like giving Chen Lan too much time to prepare. Chen Lan didn't know Gan Ning, she just shook her head blankly, the evil god in the hall was frightening at a glance, Chen Lan naturally didn't dare to continue staring at Gan Ning. Continue to look at that time to find a fight!

Because he has the bottom in his heart, Gan Ning is not annoyed. just looked at Xu Shu, only to see Xu Shu said slowly: "Bold mountain bandits, what crime should I be guilty of Jingzhou?" ”

"Becoming a king and defeating a king, Chen has been in the grass for several years, and he has long been enlightened, and it is not too wronged to fall into the hands of the two today." Chen Lan looked at Gan Ning's fierce face, and remembered Sun Ce, the little overlord under Yuan Shu back then, who was even more powerful than the first fierce man in Huaiyang back then, and then looked at Xu Shu's appearance as a gentleman, I am afraid that Yuan Shu has no such characters under his account, this Wen Yiwu, and nearly 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers, Chen Lan of course did not lose unjustly.

"Of course you didn't lose unjustly, but you didn't lose in combat effectiveness, but you shouldn't have come to Jiangxia at all, you shouldn't have come to Jingzhou, now Jingzhou is under the governance of my lord, a faction is prosperous, there are few thieves, and so on, my lord will naturally strike hard...... But there is a way now, and I don't know if you want to......"

Xu Shu said that after a pause, Chen Lan was not stupid, and immediately heard the meaning: "Yes, willing." "What can Chen Lan not want, he has been in the grass for many years, of course he has consciousness, and there is naturally no way to survive when he is caught by officers and soldiers, and now Xu Shu has given him a note to live, what conditions does he say.

Seeing this, Xu Shu smiled at Gan Ning, Gan Ning looked at Chen Lan's appearance, and immediately felt contempt, he was so bold to be a thief, thinking that Lao Tzu was ......

Gan Ning thought about his past, but Chen Lan didn't know, so she looked at Gan Ning blankly.

After a long time, Gan Ning woke up from his self-inflatement: "A certain family is Gan Ning in Ba County, Gan Xingba, and now the wind is ordered by the lord of my family to guard Jiangxia." That Sun Quan and Zhou Yu didn't dare to act rashly, but you kid came to find death, this is ignorance, if it weren't for the kindness of my lord, I would have been in a good mood today and would have shown your head to the public! ”

"Thank you for sparing your life, thank you for sparing your life!" Gan Ning's name, Chen Lan has still heard of it, most of the Lujiang River is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and if you go back for more than ten years, Gan Ning is the Yangtze River version of One Piece. It turned out to be the ancestor of the thief, Chen Lan secretly rejoiced, it seems that this Gan Ning intends to let himself live, that is, his eyes grunt, poof, poof, kowtow: "As long as the general forgives the little ones, etc., the general tells the little ones to do, and the little ones will go to the soup and go to the fire!" ”

Chen Lan also understands that although Gan Ning is the ancestor of the thief, he has long been reformed, and now he is the general of Jingzhou, so of course he will not just think about the fact that he used to be a Jiang bandit. There must be other requirements, so Chen Lan expressed her attitude as soon as possible.

"You're boring, but you do have a request, listen carefully!" Gan Ning prefers those who have iron bones, at this time, if Ning does not bend, Gan Ning will definitely pull him in, seeing Chen Lan's spineless appearance, he also disdains to be with him, and continued: "My head of the family, Gongwei and Jingzhou, is now a general of the expedition to the south, if it weren't for Kan'er and others who were also soldiers, they would have been thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the fish......

In the face of Gan Ning's intimidation, Chen Lan could only listen patiently. Gan Ning looked at Chen Lan and cleared her throat: "Now I will give you a way to live, but you remember the following for me!" First of all, take people out of Jiangxia immediately, if you dare to harass Jiangxia again, you will be told to die and have no place to be buried. ”

"Definitely, definitely, the little one promised the general that if he regained his freedom, he would definitely take people out of this place as soon as possible, and he would never come back in this life!" Chen Lan agreed to Gan Ning's request, such a request is equivalent to not mentioning it, no matter who it is, she will agree to it in the current situation.
