For Lu Peng, the lord, resolutely did not accept Gan Ning, Liu Chu expressed regret at the same time, Liu Chu had some regretful admonitions: "Since the lord understands this truth, he should not insist on the method of killing Gan Ning, but accept Gan Ning into our Youzhou system, in this way, it is equivalent to our Youzhou has obtained a huge Jiangnan strength, so that when we pacify Jiangnan in the future, it will be twice the result with half the effort." And now the strategy implemented by the lord is considered by his subordinates to be suspected of cutting off his arm. ”

Lu Peng put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, paced in the cabin, and explained to Liu that he should have explained, otherwise he would return to Youzhou in the future, when the Youzhou Group's thirst for talents has reached the point where it is beyond its limit, and when it is used to the extreme, his own way of dealing with it will be considered by his subordinates that he has now become rigid and self-serving, and has become the standard for his own preferences, which is quite troublesome for such a misunderstanding.

"I just said that the first half of what you said was right, because you did see the value of the two powerful forces behind Gan Ning, what you said is right, as long as Gan Ning defects to, whose power will swell in a blink of an eye.

But you don't see that it has a very fatal flaw, that is, who does Gan Ning take refuge with these two powerful forces, if this person can't completely subdue Gan Ning, or give enough huge benefits, with Gan Ning's character, you will be eaten in a blink of an eye. ”

Liu still agrees with Lu Peng's evaluation.

A ranger was born, and he has an unruly character, and he can suddenly change his personality and study carefully, which shows that Gan Ning's mind is heavy, as the lord said, he is a fierce horse, surrender him, you can let its owner gallop on the battlefield and dominate the world, but if you can't tame, it's not impossible to kick him over with a pout.

"Looking at the world, there are only three people who can tame it, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and me. But Gan Ning will not go to Cao Cao, because Gan Ning is proud, and if he is not provided with the ability to show the stage, then he will definitely not go.

And Sun Quan can do this, but in Gan Ning's eyes, Sun Quan is just a blue-eyed child, and his achievements today are all in the shadow of his father and brother, and he is not in his eyes at all. That's why he gave us all kinds of means to oppose us, his purpose is to show his strength and ability by beating me, which is also called a kind of bargaining.

Liu said: "In the opinion of his subordinates, Gan Ning is worth the money. ”

Lu Peng snorted: "My character is to be annoyed and threaten me, but he happened to violate my taboo, in fact, there are not a few people who violate my taboo like this, I can tolerate it, provided you don't have greed." As a result, it is not possible to blackmail me and have a huge greedy psychology, it is not good at all, I also know that receiving Gan Ning will be twice the result with half the effort for our future career, but his huge hidden danger makes me like a man, I must not open such a precedent, this will bring down the nature of our entire Youzhou Group officials, it is quite easy to drop a drop of ink into a water tank, and make the water black, but let the water turn white again, that is absolutely impossible, I must not take this risk.

Since I can't accept him, then he has such a huge power and ability, and he will inevitably become my confidant in the future, so I will use the righteous excuse of coming forward for our businessmen this time to achieve my two goals, which is to use Gan Ning to let me establish a tall image in front of the merchant group that is attached to me, and at the same time, it is also to show to the people in the world who want to make up their minds about me Lu Peng that I am definitely going to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

For such a purpose, killing a few thieves cannot play a role in shocking the world, but it is very appropriate to use forces and people like Gan Ning to do this. Killing a chicken to honor the monkey has a bad effect, it is best to kill a tiger in front of the monkeys, and the shocking effect is obvious.

And the second dark purpose in my heart, that is, what I can't get, I will never let others get it, and it will become a stumbling block to my future career, I just want to take advantage of the time when Gan Ning becomes a lost dog, when my strong strength is manifested in Jiangnan, and when all forces need me, let those who take in Gan Ning have a clear and definite choice between taking in Gan Ning and offending me. ”

Then he said to Liu: "If I were Huang Zu, I would directly give this hot potato to Sun Quan." ”

This method is indeed too unexpected, and it simply makes Liu Chu's thinking unable to keep up at all. After thinking about it again, he couldn't figure it out, so he humbly asked: "If you do it according to the way the lord said, Huang Zu is definitely suspected of taking off his pants and farting, why don't you please the lord, and at the same time please Liu Biao and Liu Bei, and simply send Gan Ning Gan Xingba directly to the lord?" ”

This is a person's thinking, when a person's thinking becomes a fixed pattern, he has almost no basis for leaping, and whether it is a real politician or a scientist, leaping thinking is the most critical.

For himself, the foreign minister, Lu Peng had to teach him patiently: "At the beginning, Jia Xu played a game for me to kill three soldiers, and persuaded Cao Cao to give me all of Bohai County, hoping to let me and Yuan Shao fight for this Bohai County, but this strategy failed in front of me, and the reason for the failure was not because I was very smart, or not because Yuan Shao was very smart and willing to give up this peach, the reason was because Yuan Shao and we were both stupid." ”

Looking at the surprised Liu, Lu Peng explained: "There are some strategies for smart people, which are absolutely poison, but there are some strategies, for very stupid people, it is simply not worth mentioning, not that the two of us have understood this strategy, but the two of us have no idea about this Bohai County, the reason for this, at that time, my idea was that I didn't want to fight with Yuan Shao too early." And Yuan Shao's thoughts also know that although Bohai is the place where he started, it was already sandwiched between me and Cao Cao at that time, even if Cao Cao and I gave it to him, he couldn't get it, sooner or later it was someone else's, since it was someone else's sooner or later, what did he bother to do? So, he and I didn't have a good relationship with Bohai but **. **This thing is the root of Jia Xu's trick for him and me, and he is willing to drill in, and Yuan Shao and I were in the state of mind at that time, and no one wanted to drill into it. Then he suddenly looked at Liu Chu very playfully: "The second point, in our situation at that time, there was no ability to continue to fight with Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao only sent a messenger at that time, I would obediently give him that half of the county, if in that situation at that time, even if he wanted the entire Bohai County back, I would not hesitate to give it to him, which is why Jia Xu's strategy did not succeed." ”

Liu Chu sighed: "It seems that the comment of the traitor in the world is still not appropriate for Cao Cao." ”

Lu Peng said unashamedly: "Actually, it is the most suitable to put on my head, but unfortunately, my image on the outside is very kind and generous, and I almost don't calculate people, so this title is not suitable for my head." ”

Liu Chu will be decided, people can be cheeky, but they should never be so cheeky, but in the end, he made up his mind that as the foreign minister of Youzhou, he must learn this kind of cheekiness and blackness, and then he will be invincible.

"And if I were Huang Zu and sent Gan Ning to Sun Quan's hands, it would really be two peach killings and three soldiers. The reason is that I have already shouted slogans all over the sky, and I must be responsible for this face of mine, so no matter whose hands Gan Ning is, I must ask him to come back and kill him. ”

Then he looked out the window thoughtfully, Sun Miao was standing there far away, on the bow of this boat, except for Sun Miao, there were no outsiders, he was giving himself the wind.

What a loyal and caring old man.

"But Huang Zu put Gan Ning into the hands of Sun Chuan, what do you guess will happen?"

Liu Chu took it for granted and said, "The lord's brother will send Gan Ning to us immediately." ”

"Wrong." Lu Peng firmly denied his idea. "You see that things are always so narrow-minded, which is very incommensurate with your position, because you only see the side that Sun Quan may be trying to please me, but you forget that behind Gan Ning, there is a huge invisible army, and this army is within Sun Quan's sphere of influence, Huang Zu gave Gan Ning to me, as I said at that time, he will eventually not be able to bear all the water in the Yangtze River basin against him, especially behind Gan Ning, and those big families. At this time, if Sun Chuan got Gan Ning, his first feeling was that he promised Huang Zu to let him go temporarily, because Huang Zu gave him Gan Ning, which was equivalent to handing over the entire Yangtze River Basin, that is, all the hidden forces in Jiangdong to Sun Quan, as long as Sun Quan collected Gan Ning, this huge, unimaginable force would become Sun Quan's most important force. So you stand in Sun Quan's position, what should you do? ”

So the three people on the boat stopped squeaking and silently listened to the river beating on the side of the boat.

After a long time, Liu Chu asked with difficulty: "At that time, what will you do, lord?" ”

Lu Peng replied to him without hesitation: "In order to fulfill my promise, in order to make the entire Youzhou businessmen walk in the Han world safe and sound, and in order to make all people feel that being a Youzhou person is so noble, even if the Heavenly King Laozi protects Gan Ning, I will stab the heavenly court and kill him." ”

In this way, Huang Zu reached the beggar-thy-neighbor and provoked Lu Peng and Sun Quan to fight, which is equivalent to resolving the endless grievances between him and Sun Quan.
