If anyone cares, in the process of unifying the north, Cao Cao has done so many evil things, such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, etc., and most of the people of insight in the world still choose to defect to him.

"My subordinates understand! The subordinates must have done these three things. At this moment, Liu Xiongming received the order convincingly.

Being able to turn a thing that was originally harmful to his reputation into his own advantage, anyway, Liu Xiongming has lived so much, except for Jin Jue, he has never seen such a smart person.

Although Cao Cao's defeat in Nanyang was heard of by the surrounding princes, it was a scandal for both sides, so the specific causes and results were temporarily covered up by the warring parties.

Among them, Jia Xu played a very key role, although Zhang Xiu suddenly repented and caused great losses to Cao Cao's army, but Jia Xu admonished Zhang Xiu for his future retreat, asking him not to spread the matter for the time being, so as not to tear their faces on both sides.

Even now, Jia Xu is still optimistic about Cao Cao, he is the hero who hopes to dominate the world among the princes. If there was no Jin Jue, a traverser, who had entered indiscriminately, Jin Jue's vision of Jia Xu, the world's first wise man in the Three Kingdoms period, would naturally be any mistake.

However, after that, things will soon be beyond Jia Xu's control and estimate.

……

At this time, let's talk about Liu Shan, who was sent to Jingzhou by Jin Jue before, mainly to find and try to recruit the rebel general Gan Ning in Yizhou.

Of course, Jin Jue couldn't just send him to complete this task.

When Liu Shan traveled, there were more than 20 people accompanying him, but in the middle of the road, some people couldn't stand the hard work and ran, and some unfortunately died. Therefore, when he arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Shan completely became the commander of the light pole, and there was any entourage around him to send a letter to Jin Jue.

Gan Ning is also a celebrity in Jingzhou now, so it is easy to find.

He has not yet gone to Jiangxia, since he fled to Jingzhou because of the defeat of Liu Zhang, and after Gan Ning fled to Jingzhou, he was left idle by Liu Biaotou, the pastor of Jingzhou. Gan Ning has more than 800 subordinates who have been following him since Yizhou, so the daily consumption is very great, but Liu Biao is not trained in military affairs in Jingzhou, and the rewards are very thin, so that his heart has gradually become unwilling.

But just recently, the situation in Jingzhou has changed abruptly.

Originally, Zhang Xiu relied on Liu Biao's funding to gather his subordinates and gradually stabilized in Wanxian County, but this guy was secretly preparing to take refuge in Cao Cao. But he didn't want Jin Jue to know about it a long time ago, so he asked Zhao Yun to pass the news of Zhang Xiu's defection to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei passed the news to Liu Biao.

Start first, Liu Biao didn't believe it. However, he was still more careful, and he always sent people to secretly monitor Zhang Xiujun's every move. Since it is a conspiracy, there are always flaws to be found. When the spy saw the envoy sent by Cao Cao to Zhang Xiu's army, he immediately transmitted the news back to Xiangyang. In order to prevent Zhang Xiu's possible rebellion, Liu Biao had to temporarily activate Gan Ning, as well as the other two rebel generals Shen Mi and Lou who rebelled against Liu Zhang with him.

Liu Biao placed them together in Fancheng, north of Xiangyang, and let them temporarily take on the heavy responsibility of guarding against Zhang Xiujun. This arrangement also temporarily calmed the hearts of Gan Ning and the others.

On this day, Gan Ning's subordinates suddenly reported that a man claiming to be the envoy of Wudu County had come to ask to see him.

"What, Wudu County, there is simply the world of the Di people, is this Wudu County guard a Di people? Jingzhou is far away from Wudu County, what is the purpose of his coming to find him? When Gan Ning heard this, he thought suspiciously.

When he was in Ba County, it was not too far from Wudu County, and there were often business travelers between the two places, so Gan Ning was not ignorant of Wudu County.

After thinking about it, Gan Ning still decided to meet him, after all, it was not far from his hometown, maybe it was an old friend.

"Hmmm! Let him in! Gan Ning raised his hand and commanded.

Soon, Liu Shan was brought to Gan Ning.

"Tell me, who sent you, is there anything to find me?" Gan Ning is a military general, and his speech is naturally very direct, and when he saw the other party's dress, he didn't care too much, and asked straight to the point.

"Gan Jiangjun, my lord ordered me to come to Jingzhou, just to find you, I hope you can defect to him. This is a letter from my father-in-law to you, please take a look! With that, Liu Shan slowly took out the letter wrapped in three layers of oilcloth from his bosom and handed it to the guard standing next to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning took the letter but did not rush to open it, but stared at Liu Shan and asked, "First of all, tell me who your lord is, he is a small Wudu County guard, why should I defect to him?" Besides, don't think that I don't know the situation in Yizhou now that I'm in Jingzhou, Wudu County is the world of the Di people, and the Di people have never been unified. Could it be that your family is a member of the Di tribe, and you are still a heroic hero? ”

"Gan Jiangjun misunderstood, my father-in-law is Han,......, and this is generally the case. Gan Jiangjun, the villain knows that you have doubts in your heart, why don't you open the letter first, how about it? Liu Shan accompanied him carefully, and roughly told Jin Jue's surname, origin, and what he did in Xuzhou, Liangzhou and other places, and at the end, he was afraid that he would not be able to say it clearly, so he suggested.

In fact, Liu Shan's performance was already very good, whether it was his calm performance when he saw Gan Ning, or he didn't stumble at all when he just stated.

However, as soon as Gan Ning heard that the person who sent this man to recruit him was actually a fifteen-year-old child, he didn't want to listen to it anymore, 'stabbing him', he tore up the letter written by Jin Jue to him, and said angrily: "Vertical son dares, a broken family actually dares me to serve him as the lord, and he deceives people too much." Strongman, if you are willing to submit to me, in the future, this general will definitely give you a lieutenant, how about it?

Although Gan Ning was very angry that an ant-like person dared to recruit him as a subordinate, he could also see that Liu Shan was a capable person, so he made a temporary intention and started to recruit, and after scolding Jin Jue, he wanted to recruit Liu Shan to his subordinates.

Hearing this, Liu Shan sneered and rejected Gan Ning, and said, "Hehehe, when I see it today, the Jinfan thief who crisscrosses Ba County is just Er'er." Gan Jiangjun, the Tao is not the same, it is useless for you and me to talk more, since this is the case, the small one will retire first. ”
