『Chapter error, click here to report』

Gan Ning Gan Xingba completely suffered a big loss in front of Lu Peng this time, no less than 300 warships were burned by Lu Peng, and there were as many as 2,000 of his men who fell into the water and drowned and died in battle.

It is nothing for the younger brother to die, the most important thing is to lose the face of Gan Ning, the leader of the Yangtze River Alliance.

What do rangers, that is, the underworld, rely on to eat? It's about eating with your face.

As a result, Lu Peng was outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, and in front of the heroes and heroes he recruited from all over the world, he slapped him and opened his bow left and right, which was a slap in the face. slapped himself in the face, that is, slapped his own job, and he lost his job, what did he use to attract his younger brother? How else can you be the boss? This field must be recovered.

Gan Ning, who retreated to the Yangtze River, was unwilling, but in fact, he was unwilling, and he was unwilling, and through this battle of being slapped in the face, Gan Ning Gan Xingba also discovered Lu Peng's strong combat effectiveness, and after weighing it in his heart, he felt that he and Lu Peng were facing it directly and uprightly, just by virtue of his own group of rabble, he was really not an opponent, so he was somewhat drumming in his heart.

Gan Ning is a ranger and is very cheeky, but this person is scheming, otherwise he would not have become Sun Quan's right-hand man later, and gave Sun a lot of clever ideas.

After weighing the pros and cons, he began to think about whether to think of a way to continue to realize his established policy of defecting to Lu Peng.

But at this time, the arrival of several people completely changed Gan Ning's decision. These people are the shipowners who asked Lu Peng to release Gan Ning and Gan Xingba at Lu Peng's bonfire dinner that day. They sent people one after another, and reported the good news that Lu Peng was no longer holding Gan Ning accountable to Gan Ning as soon as possible, and they were also showing favor to Gan Ning.

As a result, as Lu Peng judged, after getting the news that Lu Peng would no longer hold Gan Ning responsible, Gan Ning had every reason to believe that Lu Peng was showing weakness to himself, so his self-confidence in the confusion was unprecedentedly inflated. is ready to continue to follow the routine, first hurt Lu Peng, show his strength, use this method of beating pain, as a bargaining chip in negotiation, and then express his surrender to Lu Peng.

People are really weird, they don't know what to think, they always want to serve each other, but they always have to confront each other first, and then use it to increase their value, it seems that this way still works.

However, throughout history, there are basically few that work, and in the face of the strength of the opponent, when they want to hurt the opponent as a bargaining chip, most of them are directly kicked by the opponent. That's why there is the most widely circulated idiom in the back - stealing chickens does not make rice.

Now Gan Ning has made such a fatal mistake.

After confirming that he was very strong, so strong that he had already made Lu Peng give in, Gan Ning decided to continue to implement his strategic policy and hurt Lu Peng.

After explaining this method to his most trusted second master, he also received the full support of this second master.

So Gan Ning convened a meeting of all the water thief leaders in Taihu Lake, the nest of the Yangtze River, overnight to discuss how to make Lu Peng feel pain.

Taihu Lake bandits have always been rampant, they can cross the Yangtze River, retreat into Taihu Lake to rest. Moreover, the area around Taihu Lake has always been the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no need to worry about the supply of materials here, so the water bandits here are quite moist for a long time.

But because of this, it is a plate of scattered sand, no one is convinced, and it is inevitable that there will be some competition and friction for the interests of the territory, and it often happens that people's heads hit dogs' heads. In this case, a general scoop that can be admired by everyone, that is, a regulator, is what everyone needs.

However, this is the chief scoop, but everyone wants to be it, and who is not convinced, and finally everyone decides, since we can't choose internally, then let's find one outside.

As a result, at this time, Gan Ning developed from Bashu to the south, which became the consensus of everyone, and unanimously elected Gan Ning's Jinfan thief as the leader of the alliance.

Gan Ning is indeed capable, has the means and strategy, but in just two or three years, the water bandits of Chaohu Lake, Poyang Lake, and Hongze Lake in Dongting have been beaten or pulled, and the governance is obedient, and the momentum is great for a while, and in the waters of the Yangtze River, people who ascend to the heights and call for followers gathered. For example, this time, in order to achieve his own goal, fighting with Lu Peng, a tiger from afar, was just a small order, and nearly 30,000 water bandits and more than 800 warships of various kinds were gathered immediately, which shows its power and ability.

This rally, all of them were bosses with heads and faces in Taihu Lake, and the crowd was so crowded that the entire big boat was overflowing, and there were as many as 50 people.

After the commotion, Gan Ning knocked lightly on the table, and everyone immediately shut up and waited for the alliance leader's order.

"In yesterday's battle, we suffered some small losses and damaged some men and ships, but everyone can rest assured, I will make up for these losses in a while." This is Gan Ning's means of generosity, taking his younger brother out to cut people, no matter whether he wins or loses, the salary that should be paid still has to be paid.

These bandit leaders are humble, but they are all on their lips, but they are desperate in their hearts.

"In this battle, although we have lost some and failed to achieve our goal, it does not mean that we have no gains." When he said this, Gan Ning had a proud look.

However, his expression made those subordinates confused, the harvest was not seen, but the loss was real, more than 300 boats were burned into wood, more than 2,000 men, buried in the belly of the fish in the sea, everyone only saw the loss, but did not see the so-called harvest, Taihu Lake fog, so everyone was very confused and couldn't figure out their heads.

Of course, Gan Ning showed his eloquence and foresight, so he excitedly reported his huge gains to everyone: "Just now, Lu Peng has sent his messenger, whispering to me to beg for mercy, hoping that I will not attack him again and let him go. ”

The news exaggerated by Gan Ning immediately made everyone even more confused, and now it is not that Taihu Lake is foggy, but that Taihu Lake is rainy.

Where is Lü Peng's messenger? Everyone only saw a few merchants who used to interact with each other come and go here, but they didn't see any envoys from Lu Peng.

The second boss immediately stood up and gave his big boss a platform: "Anyway, our chief scoop hero, although he is an official in Jingzhou, but this time he came out for the sake of everyone's future, and deliberately concealed his identity. And what about Lu Peng? It is a dignified Youzhou pastor, a general of Zhenbei, a marquis of Yi, a part-time job and a two-state affair, in reason, he must not let go of his body, so he entrusted the shipowners of the wealthy families in Jiangnan to accompany him, and early this morning, bowed his head to our chief scoop and confessed his mistakes, expressing his sincere wish that we would no longer fight against him. ”

It turns out that this is the case, and this explanation is also very reasonable, otherwise the collusion of an official and bandit will make that kid Lu Peng ruined, which is understandable, then we will understand him.
