After this battle, the other generals of Eastern Wu were all convinced by Xu Sheng.

However, because Sun Quan did not have the eloquence of his brother Sun Ce, he rarely sent troops to attack the battle of Jiangbei several times, and he personally led them, and Jingzhou successively had Lu Su, Lü Meng and Lu Xun in charge, so a capable general like Xu Sheng did not get much room for individuals to display their abilities and talents.

Besides, Pan Zhang, this person is a problem, when he was not an official, he was addicted to gambling and drinking, because his family was poor, he also liked to give credit to rich households. However, Pan Zhang has two qualities that many generals do not have

1. Luck.

In Lü Meng's second sneak attack on Jingzhou, Eastern Wu dispatched so many generals, but as a result, Guan Yu, Guan Ping and Zhao Lei were captured by Sima Ma Zhongsheng under Pan Zhang.

In the Battle of Yaoting, it was Pan Zhang's subordinates who killed Liu Bei's protector Feng Xi.

Second, be good at governing the local area.

Pan Zhang's good at governing places is completely different from other concepts of Wenchen being good at governing places, to be specific, that is, Pan Zhang is good at calm places and good at governing places.

When Dongwu served as the magistrate of Xi'an County, Yuzhang County, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's subordinates had sent troops to attack and harass the county several times, and the people in the county would often encounter the so-called robbers from Jingzhou, but since his arrival, the bandits soon stopped completely, and the so-called Jingzhou bandits were attacked by Pan Zhang's troops, and they did not dare to enter the county of Xi'an County again.

However, Pan Zhang was extremely greedy for money, and in order to get more money, he was able to kill the rich among his soldiers and seize his property. This kind of person, under Jin Jue's rule, may become a scourge, but if Jin Jue puts him in any of the four counties in Nanzhong, the situation will be completely different.

Ding Feng won't mention it, he became famous in the middle and late Three Kingdoms.

If Lu Xun, Xu Sheng, and Lu Dai could be recruited under his command, Jin Jue's subordinates would no longer lack generals who could lead troops to fight independently.

……

In the Han Dynasty, before Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, Fancheng was neither a city nor a county, because its place and Xiangyang City across the Han River want to see, the geographical location is very important, therefore, similar to Wuwei Village, since Zhang Xiu suddenly decided to return to Cao Cao, Liu Biao was here to temporarily build a large camp, the purpose is naturally to prevent Zhang Xiu from suddenly backing water.

The Xiao An in Gan Ning's mouth is his cousin Gan An, and he is also the leader of his personal guards, when Liu Shan came last time, Gan An saw it.

"Big brother, it's not that Liu An!" Gan An shook his head and reported, "The person who came this time is relatively old, about forty years old, but the eldest brother, according to the observation of the younger brother, this person's popularity is extraordinary, and it is not comparable to that Liu Shan at all." His identity may not be simple! ”

Gan An is very eye-catching, Liu Bei has been in Xuzhou for two or three years, and has formed a kind of temperament of a superior person, although he does not recognize Liu Bei, but he can also see that the other party's origin is not simple.

"Oh, since that's the case, you let him come into the house alone to see me!" Hearing this, Gan Ning pondered for a moment and commanded.

Now, Gan Ning trusts this cousin's vision very much, at the beginning, it was actually he who made the decision to bring Liu Shan to see Gan Ning, because Jin Jue was a little person without any fame at that time, so Gan Ning drove Liu Shan away.

For this matter, Gan Ning also punished Gan An, but it turned out later that his cousin had a better vision than himself.

Since Gan An said so, at this moment, Gan Ning could imagine that the people who could come to Fancheng at this time must have heard rumors about him, and he didn't know which side of the forces sent important people to Fancheng to recruit him.

And Gan Ning only let the other party come in alone to see him, just to test the other party's bearing.

Gan An went outside and informed Liu Bei and the guards around him according to Gan Ning's instructions.

This time, there was no Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to follow, so before his guards could speak, Liu Bei directly waved his sleeves, not allowing his subordinates to speak at all, and walked directly into Gan Ning's mansion in Fancheng.

After Liu Bei came in, Gan Ning was slightly surprised when he saw the face of the person who came, but he still sat proudly in place and did not stand up to greet Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was not angry, he gave a salute to Gan Ning and greeted, "I've seen Gan Jiangjun!" ”

"Guest, may I ask your surname, where are you now serving under the princes, this time you are here, but you are here to persuade a certain family to submit to your lord." Gan Ning was born recklessly, he was a straight intestine, and he never liked to talk around the corner, so he asked bluntly.

"Hehehe, a certain Zhuojun Liu Bei, Liu Xuande is also, and now he is the post of Xuzhou Assassin of the Bureau. This time I came to persuade General Gan that you can join Gu's command, I don't know if the Ganjiang army is willing? When Liu Bei heard this, he was extremely happy in his heart and replied with a smile.

"What, you are Liu Bei? How is this possible? Hearing this, the other two people in the room were stunned, Gan Ning had not yet spoken, Gan An first opened his mouth wide, stretched out his hand to point at Liu Bei, and asked in disbelief.

"Xiao An, don't talk nonsense! How can Liu Yuanjun be an ordinary person who can fake it casually? As soon as Gan An shouted this, Gan Ning immediately calmed down.

Liu Bei visited Dongcheng three times and invited Lu Su out of the mountain, which was rumored to be a good talk by the scholars in the Jianghuai area, and Gan Ning naturally heard about it.

However, Gan Ning really couldn't understand that the time he had been in Jingzhou was longer than the time when Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, so why didn't Liu Bei send someone before, but now, at this time, Liu Bei suddenly came to Fancheng and personally came forward to recruit him? Besides, the third battle of Xuzhou is not over, Sun Ce also led the main force attacking Jiujiang County to storm Guangling City, is Liu Bei free at this time?

What's more, everyone in the world knows that Liu Bei and Liu Biao are allies, but he Gan Ning is Liu Biao's subordinate. If Liu Bei's recruitment of Gan Ning spreads, what will Liu Biao think, will Liu Bei offend or even have to abandon Liu Biao, a solid ally, for the sake of Gan Ning, a general who is not famous now?

So, in front of Liu Bei, Gan Ning directly asked the doubts in his heart, and said, "Liu Yuanjun, Gan has been in Jingzhou for a short time, why did you think of recruiting me today?" Besides, if you do this, aren't you afraid of offending Jingzhou Mu? ”

"Hehehe, let's tell the truth! It's a shame to say it, if it weren't for Jue'er's recommendation, I wouldn't know the name of the general until now! Hearing this, Liu Bei shook his head with a wry smile and replied very sincerely.
