Linjiang Village is still the same Linjiang Village, a small fishing village in the south of Du Island. It was no different from when Liu Feng exterminated Zhou Shun and a group of water thieves a few months ago.

The villagers said that they went out to fish, and they said that they returned home. Cycle.

It was only the day before that a huge army of five or six hundred people was stationed near the village, which completely disrupted the tranquility of the village. Those sergeants who seemed to be fierce gods brought a great sense of oppression to the villagers.

When the villagers go out to fish, they are also cautious, for fear of causing any trouble.

It's a sunny day. A group of soldiers marched to Linjiang Village, this group of soldiers was extremely fierce, and some of them were still stained with blood. They huddled around one of the carriages and moved slowly.

"It's also a revisit, do you want to go in and have a look." In the carriage, Liu Feng asked Zhou Shundao, who was riding a horse, with a smile.

Since Zhou Shun was expelled by Zhang Xiu, he has lived in this village for several years. Although the time is pressing, but now that he is revisiting his hometown, Liu Feng doesn't mind Zhou Shun going into the village to have a look.

"Forget it. Anyway, my wife and children are not in it. Zhou Shun shook his head and declined Liu Feng's kindness. For Zhou Shun, the village has brought him more pain. From a soldier to a water thief.

"Well, forget it." Liu Feng was not reluctant, looked up at the military camp next to the village, and said in a deep voice: "Speed up." ”

"No." Zhou complied, and then gave the order. The speed of the group immediately increased a lot. Soon arrived at the gate of the main camp.

At the gate of the camp, Zhang Dao, Xu Tian, Chen Da, Zhang Gui and others bowed and stood. On the way to the journey, Liu Feng kept sending Tanma to contact this side, so they all knew the specific time when Liu Feng came here.

I waited outside the camp gate early.

"Your Excellency." When Liu Feng's carriage appeared, Zhang Dao and the others bowed to Liu Feng in unison.

"At extraordinary times, there is no need to be polite. How is it, have you contacted Gan Xingba? Liu Feng waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite.

"We have already been contacted, and Gan Zhuangshi has provided us with three big ships and dozens of small boats for us to go south." Xu Tian came out of the queue and replied loudly.

Liu Feng's departure plan is very detailed. Among them, Gan Ning's role is particularly important. Because Liu Feng was afraid that Liu Bei would regret it afterwards and send cavalry to intercept and kill, he had to take the waterway, but Liu Feng did not have a ship, so he had to borrow it from Gan Ning, and then went down by boat to Changsha.

Gan Ning, I haven't seen you for months, I don't know what's wrong?

Liu Feng had some expectations in his eyes, the situation was different now, when he lobbied Gan Ning, Liu Feng did not have a clear goal, he only thought that he would help Liu Bei conquer the city and recruit generals. But now he has read the world, and the relationship with Xinye is almost severed.

Even if you want to accept Gan Ning, you will accept it for yourself. At present, what Liu Feng needs to do is to accumulate strength, wait for the Battle of Chibi to break out, and take the opportunity to seize the four counties and dozens of cities in Jingnan. Grow your forces to reclaim the Gan clan.

If that time comes, the power will definitely swell to a certain extent. Ministers and generals are indispensable. And Gan Ning is definitely the best among them, Liu Feng must recruit Gan Ning.

However, Liu Feng once said that if one day, or command thousands of troops, or take charge of a county, he would recruit Gan Ning as a general. Liu Feng will not break his promise.

When you come to take Jingnan, you must write a letter here. According to Gan Ning's surname, he will definitely lead the headquarters of the navy to defect.

"Prepare the ship, I'm going to see Ganning." Liu Feng got up and stepped out of the carriage, unquestioningly.

"No." Chen Da received the order and immediately went down to prepare the ship.

The southeast side of Du Island is surrounded by cliffs, and boats must enter from the northwest side. After Liu Feng got on the small boat prepared by Chen Da, he immediately headed north.

Soon, Du Dao appeared in front of Liu Feng's eyes. The soldier in charge of supporting the boat turned the bow of the ship and entered through the west gate.

The sturdy walled gate, with a big flag embroidered with the word "Jinfan" on the door, fluttering in the wind. Behind the door, there were still faint guards patrolling.

It didn't seem to be any different from a few months ago, but Liu Feng knew that the island's defense strength was completely different from a few months ago.

Gan Ning already had 800 athletes, and his weapons and baggage were all complete. The combat effectiveness is more than twice as strong as the water thieves led by Zhang Gui and Zhou Shun at the beginning. In the past few months, Liu Feng has continuously led the army to exterminate the surrounding water thieves, which has also promoted the strength of the Jinfan thieves. Up to now, Gan Ning's army has reached more than 1,000.

Constantly plundering Fancheng, Anzhong, Lushan, and even Nanyang to the north. In other words, Gan Ning's courage is big, and it is not blown out. Some of Cao Jun's baggage was robbed by Gan Ning. Very brave.

The name of Jinfan is famous in the north. If it weren't for the fact that the navy was not good, it was estimated that Cao Ren would have personally brought people and horses to exterminate Gan Ning.

Although Liu Feng was not able to see Gan Ning and his army again, Liu Feng believed that the fighting in the past few months had made Gan Ning's army even stronger. It's no different from the average elite soldier.

If it is based in Jingnan, it can be based on Gan Ning, a water thief, to establish a powerful naval army and cross the Yangtze River to resist the cavalry of Cao's army.

This is the first benefit that Liu Feng brought out of Xinye. Without Liu Bei's constraints, he could imagine imaginatively how to arrange defenses and how to build an army.

Jumping out of the small place of Shinno, he can do more than that.

Thinking about it, the ship was slowly approaching the gate. "Who's coming?" On the arrow towers on both sides of the gate, a strong voice immediately sounded, not only implicitly inquiring, but also carrying a strong warning.

"Tell the head of your family, the old man Liu Feng has arrived." Of course, Liu Feng would not log in rashly, which might cause unnecessary trouble, so he only stood at the bow of the boat at the moment, raised his fist and said loudly.

"It turned out to be Captain Liu, and our leader has been waiting for a long time. Please. As the word "please" fell, the gate of the village suddenly opened, and a pair of well-equipped water thieves poured out. lined up on both sides to greet Liu Feng.

"Thank you." Liu Feng bowed slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal the ship to come over. The soldier understood, and immediately supported the boat to the shore. The river was a little turbulent, but the soldier in charge of the boat was very experienced, and let the boat dock steadily.

When the boat docked, Liu Feng jumped off the boat and stepped into the land of Du Island.

"Adult, please." A burly man among the water thieves, who seemed to be the leader, bowed towards Liu Feng and saluted.

"Trouble the strong man to inform your chief, just say that the matter is urgent, I will not go in, and wait for him here." Liu Feng shook his head and said apologetically.

Before he could judge whether Liu Bei would come to intercept and kill, Liu Feng didn't want to delay time for a moment. If you go in and catch up with Gan Ning, it is estimated that it will take another day. Very disadvantageous.

"No." The leader of the water thieves nodded in response to this, and immediately turned around and entered Du Island.

Looking at the appearance of this water thief, Liu Feng smiled slightly, it seems that Gan Ning also gave a strict order, ordering the water thieves not to snub him. Otherwise, these unruly water thieves would not be so well-behaved.

I couldn't help but look forward to meeting Gan Ning even more.

Gan Ning didn't let Liu Feng wait for a long time, and not long after the leader of the water thieves left, he saw a heroic man in a brocade suit walking quickly towards this side not far away.

"Brother Xingba." Liu Feng smiled, took a few steps forward, and saluted.

"Liu Gongzi." Seeing this, Gan Ning stepped faster, came to the front and back of Liu Feng's body, and returned the salute.

"Hahahaha." The two of them looked at each other and let out hearty laughter in unison.

For Liu Feng, Gan Ningsheng's surname is bold, courageous, and he is a general who can be befriended. For Gan Ning, Liu Feng was a wise man, and a word woke him up, making him feel at ease to stay on this Du Island and wait for the time.

When it was said that the two of them cherished each other, and now they have been separated for several months, which has not caused estrangement between the two. The mutual appreciation is still the same.

In the laughter, Gan Ning stopped first, looked at Liu Feng, who was very hearty, and sighed: "I have also heard about what happened in Xinye. Now I see that the son is still hearty, and he is open-minded, but Gan Ning is not as good. ”

Liu Feng's matter, after the propaganda of Liu Bei and others, even Xiangyang already knew about it. Fei even replaced the originally married concubine with a concubine. Du Island is so close to Xinye, Gan Ning has not only heard of it, but also knows it very well.

After Liu Bei had a parent, he was very angry about the ruthless method of immediately eradicating his stepson. He didn't believe that Liu Feng would have an affair with his adoptive mother at all, he believed in his own vision. is very sympathetic to Liu Feng's angry departure.

"Don't mention the matter of Xinye. After borrowing a ship from Xingba, I immediately set off for Changsha, and from then on, regardless of the rise or fall, it was up to me to make my own decisions. Liu Feng waved his hand and said with a smile.

Seeing Liu Feng's smile on his face, he was not pretentious. Gan Ning can only be open-minded. However, Gan Ning also had some doubts in his heart, and now that he saw Liu Feng, he couldn't help but solve his doubts.

"A few months ago, Gongzi persuaded me to lead the troops here and wait for the time. Now the prince is going to lead the army south to defect to Liu Biao. I was really confused. Gan Ning asked, and then said sincerely: "Why doesn't Gongzi lead the troops here, garrison Du Island with me, and wait for the time?" ”

"If the prince is willing, I want to let it as the leader."

Gan Ning's words are sincere and sincere. Liu Feng was moved in his heart, but he also had to shake his head and say: "Du Dao is too close to Xinye, which is not good for me. What's more, this Du Island is too small to use his fists and feet. ”

"Does Xingba remember what I said? Come and say that you may lead thousands of troops, or lead a county. If you are trapped on this Du Island, you can't do it. After a pause, Liu Feng looked at the surging river and said with pride.

If you can pick up the leaks and rise in the opportunity, it is not only the land of one county, but the land of the four counties of Jingnan.

"But with Gongzi's current situation, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to see Liu Biao." Looking at Liu Fenghao's dry appearance, Gan Ning had to pour a basin of cold water.

The words did not explain, but it implied that Liu Feng had a reputation for having an affair with his adoptive mother on his head, and he went south to join Liu Biao, and he might be killed.
