Chapter 382: Echoing Inside and Out
The small Jiangxia County area is turbulent and lively. A smokeless battle around the water thief Gan Ning has slowly kicked off.
Liu Bei, in order to consolidate the power in Jingzhou and indirectly find out the real possibility of Huang Zhong's speech, sent the powerful man who had just joined his command, Cui Zhouping, and the former Jingzhou Liu Biao's subordinates, and Shanyang celebrity Yi as the chief and deputy envoys, to the Jiangxia generation to lobby Gan Ning.
Sun Quan, the overlord of Eastern Wu, has always coveted the Jiangnan heroes of Jingxiang Nine Counties, in order to recruit fierce generals, but also to be able to find out the truth of Jiangxia from Gan Ning's mouth, so that in the future as a strategy, sent Lu Su as an envoy, and ordered the general Zhou Tai to protect him closely, and went to Jiangxia to lobby Gan Ning.
Yuan Shang, the lord of Hebei, the first prince in the world, in order to rescue Sima Yi, who was close to his personal arm, from the tiger's mouth, also did his best to design a plot, and led Guo Huai and Sun Lier to dress up as a water coward and go to Ganning Water Village to surrender.
The top three princes in the world all shot out together, pointing the spearhead directly at Gan Ning, a small water coward on the Han River, and staged an open and secret battle on his body, and I don't know if Gan Ning knew the truth, would he feel happiness coming so suddenly in his heart, or would he feel that it was a goddamn disaster......
In short, for the current Gan Ning, on the ancestral grave of his family, there must be either green smoke or fire.
A water thief, by mistake, has become a fragrant glutton.
Yuan Shang's flying pigeon transmission efficiency is very fast, and at the same time that the information is transmitted to the north, the rumors spread by Liu Bei's side have begun to spread everywhere like a plague, whether it is true or not, but as long as it can ruin Yuan Shang's reputation, Liu Bei is willing to do it, after all, since he got to know this junior, in Liu Bei's heart, he has always been the only one who harms others. And there is no memory of him being manipulated by others.
Being able to pour dirty water on Yuan Shang, Liu Bei's mood can only be described in one word.
That's "cool~~!" ”
Of course, Yuan Shang was not idle, according to Yuan Shang's instructions, Hebei sent important town advisers, one of the six masterminds of Yuan Shao in the past, went to Liu Bei in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, one to inquire about the truth, the other pointed to Liu Bei, and the third asked for one million dollars.
The dragon and the tiger are standing, and the eyes of all the princes are all in the land of Jiangxia.
And sure enough, according to Yuan Shang's expectations. This time, Gan Ning took advantage of the prestige of defeating Huang Zhong and the five generals of Eastern Wu at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and began to recruit troops and horses on the Han River.
But Gan Ning doesn't care, as long as he can expand his potential and the soldiers and horses are full, it doesn't matter if it is a leak in the den, it's a big deal to change places when the time comes, anyway, he is a thief. Where to grab is different.
According to Sima Yi's words, according to the current situation, the stronger Gan Ning is, the safer he is.
Gan Ning recruited people. The water thieves on the Yangtze River flocked to the Yangtze River, first the Yangtze River Water Thief King led 500 thieves to vote, and then the Hanjiang River giant Liu Zhenggu led 300 elites to return, and then the new thief Bai Qizhuo of Jiujiang came 650 people to follow......
All of a sudden. Gan Ning's power swelled suddenly, and he actually contained almost all the water thieves within a radius of hundreds of miles from the three rivers, and the soldiers and horses also expanded to nearly 5,000 people. And the number of people is still growing, although the momentum is not monstrous, but it is not good.
And on this day, there was Guo Dayong, who claimed to have come from Shuzhong, and Sun Erhu, two wicked people who came from the middle and upper reaches of Shu, led five hundred elites to vote.
Above the main hall of the water thieves, Gan Ning sat as the chairman, Sima Yi on the left hand, Pu Yuan on the right hand, and a group of thieves and bandit leaders lined up below.
Guo Dayong ...... Sun Erhu...... What is this name? Lao Tzu had never heard of it before. ”
Below the main hall, the thief who was responsible for accepting the leaders from all over the place arched his hand and said: "Boss, these two people claim to be from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Shuzhong. ”
Gan Ning frowned, turned his head and asked Sima Yi, "What do you think about this?" ”
Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "The spies in Jingzhou came to report the day before yesterday, the Jiangxia soldiers and horses did not make any major moves, and the soldiers and horses of all departments still seem to be complete, so it seems that they should not be spies sent by Huang Zu, but just in case, it is better to ask in person." ”
After that, Sima Yi turned his head to look at Pu Yuan: "Third child, you said this is the truth, right?" ”
As soon as Pu Yuan heard Sima Yi ask him, he immediately nodded vigorously and catered to Sima Yi.
"What the second brother said is reasonable, the boss will act according to this, and there will be no mistakes."
Pu Yuan's sword training was good, and he won the battle at Sanjiangkou, so Gan Ning made an exception to promote him to the third master, ranking after Sima Yi.
However, Pu Yuan's three masters obviously have no deterrent power, mainly because he is a knife forger, not as good as Sima Yi, and not as good as Gan Xingba.
If Sima Yi is the department manager in charge of business, Pu Yuan can be regarded as an office director at most, especially for Sima Yi, Pu Yuan is trembling when he looks at him now, but whenever there is anything, as long as Sima Yi barks his teeth at him, Pu Yuan is so frightened that he pees his pants, so no matter what Sima Yi says, he raises his hands in agreement.
Gan Ning saw his two right-hand men talking like this, and he recognized it in his heart, and then instructed the thief to greet the thief from all over the world: "Then Guo Dayong, Sun Erhu, where are you now?" ”
"Back to the boss, those two people are leading the people and waiting at the port by the water village, if the boss meets them, I will go and recruit people now."
Gan Ning nodded: "Then find someone here, let Lao Tzu and the two masters meet." ”
After a while, the thief led the so-called Guo Dayong and Sun Erhu to the main hall.
The two of them also know how to be polite, and when they saw Gan Ning, they hugged their fists together.
"Guo Dayong (Sun Erhu) has seen Leader Gan!"
Gan Ning waved his hand casually: "The two strong men don't have to be polite, this is a water village, not his mother's mansion, so you don't have to be so polite." ”
"Hiss-" When Sima Yi saw these two, he immediately gasped.
Gan Ning turned his head curiously: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I ...... It's fine. ”
"What's the matter, what are you 'hissing'?"
Sima Yi pouted: "Back to the boss, my younger brother and I ...... Toothache ......"
"Don't stand up for a toothache, drink some cold water and take a sip, why don't Lao Tzu help you knock out two to relieve your worries?"
"Thank you...... Big brother Meiyi, I'll talk about this later, Guo and Sun will ...... The leader who is going to defect to us is waiting, and the eldest brother still needs to get down to business. ”
Gan Ning turned his head and looked at Guo Dayong and the others. Said: "The two leaders came to take refuge, Lao Tzu felt honored, this water village is also a lot of color, but forgive Lao Tzu for not hearing of the two names?" I wonder where the two leaders made their fortunes? ”
For these questions, Guo and Sun had already prepared, and then said: "Gan Xia Shi has never heard of our name, and it is reasonable, the two of us used to plunder in Shu in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. There has not been much contact with the land south of the Yangtze River, but now Shuzhong is too peaceful, and the thieves are rare, far less than the business in the south of the Yangtze River. I also hope that Brother Gan will not give up and can accept it, and we will follow the death force. ”
Gan Ning nodded, turned his head and asked Sima Yi and Pu Yuan, "What do you think of the two brothers?" ”
Sima Yi didn't say anything. But Pu Yuan said: "Although there is no omission in his words, but when our water village is still developing, we need to be cautious and cautious in recruiting people, so as not to cause ......chaos in the future."
That's it. Pu Yuan couldn't go, because he found that Sima Yi's two eyes were staring at him tightly, with a strange light shining in them. A mouthful of white teeth was slightly exposed, and the bright red gums were exposed. It's like the zombies in Resident Evil in the later life, and it's particularly scary.
This expression, Pu Yuan is too familiar, and Sima Yi has this expression every time he wants to beat him.
"Hmm...... That, boss, we are in the development of the time, others come to take refuge, how can there be a gift of not accepting, I think Guo and Sun The two leaders are very sincere, and they should be accepted! Pu Yuan was in a hurry and hurriedly changed his words.
Gan Ning was a little strange: "Brother, you don't have a preface and a follow-up, do you accept it or not?" ”
"This ...... Accept...... Don't accept ...... Is it Na Na or not? Second brother ......" Sima Yi had a frightened expression, and Pu Yuan was about to cry when he saw it.
Gan Ning frowned, and then turned his head to Sima Yi on the other side.
Sima Yi saw Gan Ning looking at him, and then said leisurely.
"Don't lose the hope of the four sides because of those who stand in the way."
Gan Ning was suddenly stunned when he heard this.
"This is reasonable, Guo Dayong, Sun Erhu, you two are sincere Lao Tzu, how can Lao Tzu be treated lightly? I will arrange a place for you and your 500 brothers to live, and in the future, our brothers will share blessings and misfortunes and cross the Yangtze River together! ”
Guo and Sun bowed their hands together: "Thank you, General!" ”
That night, Sima Yi secretly walked by the river alone, but he saw Guo Dayong and Sun Erhu, who had recently surrendered, also by the river, but the three of them coincided.
Sima Yi's face suddenly turned happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Guo Huai, Sun Li!" ”
The two of them looked around at no one, and at the same time arched their hands and said, "Mr. Sima!" ”
Sima Yi smiled and said, "Why are you two here?" Didn't you come to me on the orders of your lord? ”
Guo Huai nodded and said, "Mr. Sima guessed right, the two of us came here on the order of the lord, not only the two of you are here, but the lord has also gone to Jingxiang in person at this moment, and now he is in Jiangxia." ”
Sima Yi was overjoyed when he heard this: "The lord is here in Jiangxia?" When was this! ”
"For a while, the lord not only came to Jiangxia, but also personally ventured into danger and entered the command of Huang Zu.
Sima Yi suddenly said: "No wonder, no wonder, I just said that in Jiangxia, with Huang Zu as the leader, how can anyone be my opponent, it turns out to be the lord...... My lord is personally involved in danger for me...... I, I ......"
When Sima Yi said this, his eyes couldn't help but be a little red, and tears slowly swirled in his eyes.
"Lord...... Lord Father...... Have you ever had a word for me? Sima Yi's tone sobbed.
Guo Huai and Sun Li raised their eyebrows together, glanced at each other in unison, and then listened to Sun Li: "There is indeed a sentence, Mr. Sima wants to hear it?" ”
Sima Yi hurriedly nodded: "I want to listen, of course I want to listen!" What did the lord say? ”
I saw Sun Li hesitate slightly, then clenched his fist, and raised his hand to swing an old fist at Sima Yi's face.
"Ah~~!"
With the sound of 'collapse', but seeing that Sima Yi had already fallen to the ground.
"The lord said: Sima Yi, you coward, a humble gentleman doesn't want you to be the eighth king of water, this punch is interest, wait to meet, see Lao Tzu, I can't kill you!"
After saying that, he saw Sun Li turn his head and asked Guo Huaidao: "I haven't understood this sentence of the lord, what kind of object is this Wang Ba?"
"......" (To be continued......)
