Gan Ning and Sima Yi hijacked Huang Zu's warship, led 800 water thieves to move to the river, and set up a village on a hill surrounded by reed pools in the southeast of the Yangtze River.

At this time, Gan Ning, because he took away Jiangxia's armor and equipment and grain and grass warships, can be said to have ships and ships, grain and grain, soldiers and soldiers, and people, and the momentum is not much more than when it was in its heyday.

Gan Ning fell into the grass again, although he became a thief again, but he was no longer oppressed by Huang Zu, and he could be regarded as raising his eyebrows.

However, he always has a small pimple in his chest, which often surrounds his heart, and he always wants to talk to others inadvertently, but there is no one to talk to.

But it was helpless, the 800 water thieves under Gan Ning's hands were all reckless men, and it was a top trick for them to kill people and sell goods, but if they really talked to them about some serious things, it was the same as taking off their pants and farting, and it was useless.

Gan Ning had something on his mind to talk to but no one to talk to, and he was very depressed, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately found the best person to listen to him.

This person is Sima Yi. is now a staff officer under the pseudonym Ma Yuan.

"Come on, find Ma Yuan!" Thinking that there was finally someone to discuss with him, Gan Ning was happy in his heart, and couldn't help but quickly order someone to find Sima Yi.

When he was young, he saw Sima Yi come to the bandit gathering hall where Gan Ning was, saying that it was a hall, but it was actually a temporary wooden shed simple project.

"Engong, are you looking for me?"

Sima Yi finally escaped from Jiangxia City, leaving the dangerous situation full of enemies, and although he became a thief, he didn't have to worry about safety at least for the time being.

And at the time of the hijacking, Sima Yi saw Gan Ning's martial arts, and knew that although the water thief who once crossed the Yangtze River was born in the green forest and grass, his skills were extremely rare. Whether it is his own courage or the ability to coordinate his subordinates, it is true that he is not lost to the military generals who are right.

There are also those 800 water thieves, whose combat power is not bad, especially in water combat, which makes Sima Yi stunned.

With such a character as a backer, and these 800 elites as an auxiliary, and even more supplemented by their own resourcefulness, and the Yangtze River natural danger as a barrier, Hugh should say that it is a temporary protection, even if it is to set off a storm in the south of the Yangtze River. It's not necessarily impossible.

Sima Yi is quite familiar with Gan Ning now, and after casually meeting him, he found a place to sit on the ground and raised his eyes to look at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning smiled happily at Sima Yi and said, "Ma Yuan, on the side of the Yangtze River, the wind and rain are shaking, and the weather is warm and cold, how is it?" Are you still used to it? ”

Sima Yi smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern." I was not used to living in the first two days, I was dizzy every day, but I vomited a lot,,,,, but I have been able to adapt to it in the past few days. Every day on the boat, blowing the river breeze and eating fish, I feel quite comfortable and comfortable! ”

Gan Ning nodded. said: "That's good, life by the river is miserable, and I have wronged a literati like you." It's really upset that Lao Tzu can't go. ”

"What did Eun Gong say? My life was saved by you at the beginning, even if you suffer more, it is better than death. Don't get too out of touch with me. ”

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Seeing that you are quite angry, there are no complaints, and Lao Tzu's heart will be put down... Ma Yuan, in fact, I came to you today, in addition to greeting you, I still have something I want to discuss with you. ”

Sima Yi smiled when he heard this: "Engong has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Gan Ning touched the beard on his chin, thought carefully for a while, and then said slowly: "Lao Tzu listened to your words that day, hijacked the arms and ships of Huang Zu's old horseman, and then entered the thief's road...... Those brothers under him are all big and coarse, and Lao Tzu can't tell them to go together, so I can only ask you to come and discuss. ”

A smile hung on the corner of Sima Yi's mouth, and he said indifferently: "The pimple in Engong's heart, needless to say, can you guess one or two in the future, isn't it thinking about the future and way out of yourself and your brothers?" ”

Gan Ning nodded, and said boldly: "Talking to smart people is just happy, and it doesn't take much effort!" …… Yes, when you are a thief, there is actually nothing, drinking wine in a big bowl, eating meat in a big piece, dividing the gold in a big scale, no one has to listen to anyone's words, no one has to do anything, it is really happy! But the way of this thief is not a lifelong business after all, Lao Tzu is now young and strong, robbing ships and robbing goods, it is not a problem, but what about ten years later? Twenty years from now? Thirty years from now? One day Lao Tzu is old, he can't hold a knife, and he can't grab people? And how? This thief looks good now, but if he is not a business that can be used for a lifetime, he has to think of a way back. ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he couldn't help but nod secretly.

Just based on Gan Ning's words, it proves that he is by no means such a reckless man on the surface, he seems to be very reckless with dirty words, but in fact, he has a lot of eyes, and he is by no means a brave man, he is a wise man.

Gan Ning picked up the big bowl beside him, took a sip of wine, and said: "Actually, in this troubled world, being appeased by the official family as a thief is the best way out, which is also the biggest reason why Lao Tzu surrendered to Huang Zu at the beginning, but unfortunately Huang Zu's old boy does not grow up, and he doesn't wait to see us...... Lao Tzu is now comfortable as a thief, but he has no bottom in his heart, he wants to join the army again, and he has the experience of Huang Zu, so he doesn't dare to make a mistake at will, so he is upset and wants to find you to help Lao Tzu as a staff officer. ”

Sima Yi nodded, and said with a smile: "Engong is far-reaching, it is by no means comparable to ordinary green forests, so I admire it, in fact, Engong doesn't have to worry about it at all, he was appeased by the officials and soldiers, and he surrendered to the princes of Chengcheng, it is not a wrong way, but Engong didn't choose the right person at the beginning, and found Huang Zu, a stupid donkey who doesn't know heroes, so there is such a thing, last time I was in Jiangxia, I told Engong you, the world is heroic, only recognize talents, don't look at the background, you don't see Zhang Yantou Yuan Shang, Zhou Cang relies on Guan Yu? ”

Gan Ning nodded when he heard this, and said: "With your words, Lao Tzu's heart is quite steady, and now it is impossible to go to Huangzu and Jingzhou, according to your opinion, which way should Lao Tzu take refuge in the future?" ”

Sima Yi wanted to say that you had better take me back to Hebei, but after all, he didn't dare to say it.

The identity is missing, in case Gan Ning grabs himself to invite credit. It's not all ruined.

Sima Yi smiled: "What kind of candidate does Engong have in his heart?" ”

Gan Ning thought for a while and said: "Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, sitting in six counties and eighty-one states, after three generations, the country is rich and the people are full, and his subordinates are full of talents, how about investing in it?" ”

Sima Yi thought for a while when he heard this, and said: "Engong wants to take refuge in Sun Quan, but because Sun Quan's power is Jiangnan, he chose it nearby. Although Sun Jian and Sun Ce are heroic, Sun Quan is still young after all, and he inherits the foundation and prestige of his father and brother, although he leads Jiangdong, but there has been nothing shocking, in case he is arrogant and like Huang Zu, what should Engong do? Do you abandon him again and fall into the grass anew? Again and again, you can't do it again, if you always act like this. People in the world are afraid that everyone will think that Engong is a capricious villain, and it will be difficult to choose a good master when the time comes. ”

Gan Ning was stunned when he heard this. nodded violently and said, "Yes, it's Lao Tzu who is too anxious!" Voted for the wrong Huang Zu, how can you go wrong next? You must choose carefully....... otherwise, people in the world will treat Lao Tzu as if he was Lu Bu back then. No one dares to accept it, but Lao Tzu can only be a thief for the rest of his life. ”

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Yes, so Engong wants to choose the master again." In my opinion, Engong led the troops so directly to vote, no matter which way the princes, one can not recognize the ability of Engong, and the other can not see the sincerity of Engong, it is not the best means, if we are here, sit and wait for the princes from all walks of life to come to appease, anti-guest-oriented, wouldn't it be happy? ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said strangely: "Sit and wait to be appeased?" What the hell is this talking about? ”

Sima Yi heard this: "If today, the princes of all walks of life stand side by side and attack each other, in addition to the territory and strength, can Engong know what they lack most?" ”

Gan Ning shook his head: "I don't know what to do." ”

"Talent! All the princes are now the most fucking lack of talents, if Engong can prove his strength, it is not difficult to sit back and wait for the princes to appease? ”

Gan Ning said: "Then according to your opinion, how should Lao Tzu prove it?" ”

Sima Yi's eyes suddenly showed a blazing essence, and said, "Fight!" Stand on the battlefield! The princes of the world look at us differently! Since we have entered the thief road this time, we can't be ordinary thieves who rob merchants and rob ships, if we want to be, we must be big thieves, and when we can play a role in involving the princes of Linjiang, didn't ....... Engong take the equipment and armor from Huang Zu? These things can't be taken in vain, let's arm 800 warriors, nominally thieves, but in fact they are still acting in the style of the military! Recruit troops, expand your potential, and cross the Yangtze River! ”

Gan Ning was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "If it is like you, Xiu Dao is Huang Zu, then how can Liu Cousin Sun Quan use the Yangtze River as a supplementary screen, and An can let me wait to sit down?" When the time comes, will they not send troops to kill them? ”

Sima Yi slapped his thigh suddenly, and said, "What I want is for him to kill, I just said!" If you want to sit back and wait for appeasement, you must base yourself on the battle! They come to kill, let's fight them back, once they fight back, they may feel that they belong to the enemy, two times back, they will have a little wariness in their hearts, three times back, they will definitely pay attention to us, four times back, they will definitely rush back....... ten times back, they don't appease us, I will screw my head off and use you as a stool! ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he suddenly realized, and said: "Anti-guest is the main thing, so it is so, as long as Lao Tzu's strength is proven, it will not be Lao Tzu who will surrender to them, but they will beg Lao Tzu to pass?" ”

Sima Yi said: "That's exactly the reason. ”

The two were chatting, but they heard a sudden sound of sparse footsteps outside, and a water thief hurriedly ran into the hall, bowed to Gan Ning, and said, "Big brother, there is a situation!" ”

Gan Ning's camel bell opened his eyes and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Huang Zu's horseman, seeing that we grabbed the boat and grabbed the grain, he was not angry, and sent Zhang Kai, Wu Mao, Wu Tong, and Wang Yanxing to lead the soldiers and horses of their headquarters to come to the river to find and suppress, at this moment it is not far from our hiding place, the brothers want to ask the eldest brother, should we hide first to avoid the limelight."

Before Gan Ning could speak, he heard Sima Yi beside him sneer and said, "This is a God-given opportunity, not to be missed, what to hide?" War! Be sure to fight! Let's get the four of them down first, and get off to a good start! ”

The water thief was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Gan Ning suspiciously: "Big brother..."

Gan Ning snorted and said, "Look at what Lao Tzu is doing!" Ma Yuan said war, let's fight! ”

Mizusawa swallowed softly and whispered, "Listen to him? ”

Gan Ning nodded heavily and said, "Of course!" Listen to him! ”

"But, big brother, he's an outsider......"

"Fart!" Before he could finish speaking, he saw Gan Ning suddenly smash the wine bowl in his hand, and said angrily: "Who said he was an outsider?" From today on, he is your second brother! ”

"Huh?" When Sima Yi and the water thief heard this, their bodies shook and they almost fell to the ground.

"Second brother?!" Sima Yi and the water thief exited at the same time.

Gan Ning nodded heavily, and said: "Tell the brothers, from today on, Brother Ma Yuan is our second master, your second brother, when Lao Tzu is here, he will be headed by Lao Tzu, if Lao Tzu is gone, your second brother will have the final say, do you understand!" ”

The water thief nodded hesitantly.

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows: "Stupid, what are you doing in a daze, don't you give your second brother a salute!" ”

Hearing this, the water thief hurriedly got up and made a gesture of arching his hand at Sima Yi.

"Second brother is good!"

"Don't, don't!" Sima Yi hurriedly waved his hand, and said to Gan Ning with a wry smile: "Engong, this, it's a little inappropriate..."

Gan Ning Ha Luha smiled and patted Sima Yi on the shoulder: "There is nothing inappropriate, from today on, you are Lao Tzu's brother, in the future, our brothers will be in the same boat through thick and thin, and share blessings and misfortunes. ”

Sima Yi hesitated: "But I'm still young.......

"Pull it down, being a thief is not an official! Being an official depends on qualifications, being a thief depends on talent, and there is a bullshit relationship with qualifications, I think you are extremely talented as a thief, and you will inevitably be a generation of thieves in the future! There's a future! ”

"But....... that's not good..."

Gan Ning's eyes widened: "It's nothing!" If you grind and chirp again, you will look down on Lao Tzu! The person who hates others to look down on me the most, do you know it? ”

Sima Yi trembled, nodded helplessly, and said, "Since this is the case, then thank you to Engong... No, thank you big brother for making it happen......"

Gan Ning put away his anger, turned his face to Ha Lu Ha Yile, and continued to pat Sima Yi's shoulder and said, "Second child, ......."

Sima Yi's face froze: "Big brother, you can call me anything, can you not call me second?" ”

Gan Ning heard this: "What is it for? ”

"I don't know how to do it, I just feel a little awkward, and I don't feel like it's a good word........."

"Then, second brother, Huang Zu sent four generals to come to conquest, the soldiers and horses must be several times ours, although Lao Tzu is not afraid of them, but a head-on conflict, it is really not the best policy, second brother, what good way do you have."

Sima Yi let out a long sigh and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I have been observing the water terrain around us for the past few days, and I already have a plan, and it doesn't cost a single soldier to keep it, and I won't leave a single piece of armor to kill the four generals under Huang Zu's command." ”

Gan Ning was surprised when he heard this, then gave a thumbs up, and nodded at Sima Yi with admiration.

"Second child, real talent!" (To be continued......)
