Xiakou, this is a familiar place for Gan Ning.

This was the third time in his life that he had come to Xiakou.

The first time was to defect to Jiangxia Huangzu.

It was here that he shot Sun Quan's subordinate general Ling Cao with an arrow, and formed a blood feud with his son Ling Tong!

The second time, it was to take refuge in Jiangdong Sun Quan, and in the process of counterattacking Huang Zu, he followed in the footsteps of Zhou Yu and led the "death" fleet to break through the city first and kill Huang Zu... Since then, he has gained a firm foothold in Koto.

This is the third time...

It's just that this time I came to Xiakou, it was more due to the situation, and it was forced to be helpless under suspicion.

At this moment, in Xiakou's official medical office, in a silkworm room, Zhang Zhongjing had already been urgently transferred, he seemed quite busy, and Gan Ning had too many wounds on his body.

Zhang Zhongjing needed to bandage the wound while observing Gan Ning's pulse and heartbeat.

Guan Lin, Ling Tong, and Zhuge Ke are also in the silkworm room, and seeing Gan Ning's appearance now, Guan Lin has some apologies...

Because the whole game was laid out by him, in order to get Gan Ning...

It's tantamount to the fact that he needs to take some risks...

These are all essential sacrifices.

At the same time, this "hundred horsemen robbed the Wei camp, and shook the world", the first fierce man of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Lin was very interested in getting him... It's too much to look forward to.

At this moment, looking at Gan Ning's unconscious, although Guan Lin was full of confidence, he was more "apprehensive" after all.

It's worrying... This plan is "too strong" apprehension.

The silkworm room is not big, Zhang Zhongjing and his disciples are beside Gan Ning, Guan Lin, Ling Tong and Zhuge Ke are sitting on the periphery, looking at Gan Ning on the bed, Ling Tong suddenly said: "If Gan Xingba doesn't wake up, what should I do?" ”

Guan Lin thought for a while, "Now is not the time to think about this, the top priority is to beg God to hang the curtain, and beg Gan Ning to carry it!" ”

"Alas..."Ling Tong sighed, he was silent for a moment and said: "Although Gan Ning has a grudge against me for killing my father, I can work with him for many years, whether it is righteousness, bravery, courage, loyalty, these... It's all admirable. ”

"Yes..."Guan Lin said with emotion: "Hundreds of horsemen robbed the Wei camp, and the merit shook the world... This kind of courage, I am afraid that it can be matched by Changshan Zhao Zilong! ”

Ling Tong exhaled lightly, "Actually, according to personal vendettas, I want Gan Ning to die, but... According to justice, I want him to live, I have fought side by side with him, he has saved me, and he has spared me... Those grievances have long been indistinguishable, who still owes whom? ”

Ling Tong's words made Guan Lin not know how to persuade him, he could only say lightly, "When is the so-called revenge?" I can hear that Brother Ling also admires this Gan Xingba! The first half of his life was indeed legendary—"

At this time, on the bed, Gan Ning, who had just been motionless, suddenly trembled his fingers.

He had been dreaming, dreaming as if he had been going back to his life, dreaming that he was constantly falling into darkness, dreaming that he was full of terror.

Also dreamed of the highlight moments of his life.

It was as if, two years ago, that loud tone was raised in my heart again.

- "My lord, I only need a hundred horses to break the enemy!" Why three thousand?'

- "Tonight, Ning only takes a hundred people to rob Cao's camp, it will frustrate its spirit, if there is a good opportunity, I will cut off Cao Cao's head, if I break one person and one horse, it will not be considered a success!"

And then there is the pride.

- "Attack the enemy army at night, frustrate its spirit, defeat the enemy, and show the spirit of Jiangdong's heroes!"

Then, it was the moon and the dark wind was high and the people were killed, and the hundred rode to the front of Cao Ying.

Gan Ning's fierce voice under the restraint of his voice!

- "This attack will surely lose the enemy's courage, rob the Wei camp with a hundred horses, and shock the world!"

This heroic shout pulled Gan Ning back from the ghost gate, and then, he heard a voice, an unfamiliar voice, that voice was telling the first half of his legendary life.

"The reason why Gan Ning is called an outlaw by me is because when he was young, he made a group of ranger friends in Shu County, and then robbed his family in the Langzhong generation, but he also squandered money with righteousness... They carried bows and arrows on their backs, very fancy short knives around their waists, feathers on their heads, and a bell on their bodies. This group of 'river thieves' is coming! ”

Guan Lin told the story of Gan Ning in detail, which made Gan Ning understand... Only Ling Tong and Zhuge Ke, who knew nothing about it, listened with great interest.

also let Gan Ning, who gradually woke up and had some consciousness, clearly hear every sentence of the story.

It made him realize that this voice was probably from the legendary Guan Lin Guan Yunqi, right?

Guan Lin's voice continued.

"Gan Ning is also very particular about pomp, often when going out, you have to have several cars, when you walk on the waterway is more extravagant, a single boat can not go out, as soon as you go out, you have to connect the boats into a series, and even when the boat is stopped, every sail must be raised with splendor, even each of his brothers must be dressed in brocade clothes, where the boat stops... The rope that ties the boat does not use hemp rope, and it is directly tied there with splendid embroidery! When I left, I didn't untie these splendors, and cut them off with a knife... Next time, it seems to be a hard-to-find Shu brocade in the Central Plains... In Gan Ning's hands, it is worthless at all! It's such a luxury! This is also the origin of the name of the Jinfan thief! ”

This...

With Guan Lin's words, Zhuge Ke and Ling Tong were a little surprised.

Sail thief, sail thief...

I've heard a little about it in the past, but exactly... Why is it so named?

No one knows how gorgeous it is to be given such a name.

Now that I can hear Guan Lin's story, it makes Zhuge Ke and Ling Tong bow their heads one after another.

It turns out that this name came from this way, and it has these origins.

Gan Ning also listened to Guan Lin's words, but compared to Zhuge Ke and Ling Tong, he was even more shocked, shocked by these things twenty years ago, this kid knew so clearly and in such detail!

Guan Lin's words continued, "Gan Ning and this Jinfan thief are also very interesting, if the local government comes to Heng, then Gan Ning will specially organize people to loot this place, not only to rob the wealth of large families, but even to assassinate the officials of this place!" ”

"But if some officials are soft and respect Gan Ning, Gan Ning is also very particular, not only do not rob the rich in those places, but also go to help the poor... and even called brothers and sisters with those people in the government. It can be said that... More than 20 years ago, in Bashu... Gan Ning is in charge of black and white alone, both of which are all-in-one, majestic, and he was only twenty years old that year! ”

Hearing Guan Lin's mouth, about Gan Ning's early resume, Ling Tong and Zhuge Ke looked at each other, and they only felt shocked.

If a "river thief" can do this, he has to admire his ability.

Later, Guan Lin told that when Gan Ning was twenty years old, he abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and studied Zhuzi, Baijia, military books, and war strategies.

was stunned to be a "halfway monk" to read some knowledge and great truths, and the black and white connections established during the Jiang Thief period were transformed into the county of Ba County, which was 600 stones, and ate the imperial grain.

Later, Guan Lin told in detail that after the death of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, his son Liu Zhang reused the "Dongzhou" people to suppress the local Haoqiang clan.

Gan Ning is a local wealthy family, and the black and white dishes are also "local" bowls of rice, and they were suppressed by Liu Zhang, can this be endured?

So he took Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others to rebel against Liu Zhang.

But I never thought that the Dongzhou faction was huge, and Gan Ning was not an opponent, and was finally defeated!

At this point, he could only be forced to embark on the road of leaving his hometown with the eight hundred Jinfan River thief brothers.

first took refuge in Liu Biao and was not reused;

took refuge in Huang Zu again, even if he shot Sun Quan's subordinate Ling Cao, he was still not reused;

Ultimately... In desperation, I took refuge in Jiangdong! took refuge in Sun Quan!

And when Gan Ning and Sun Quan met for the first time, Gan Ning offered advice to plot against Jingzhou!

This move was praised by Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others.

But it also made another faction, including Zhang Zhao, Zhang Wen, and Zhu Zhi, disagree.

What Zhang Zhao and the other big clans mean - Jiangdong itself is in danger, and if the army really marches westward, I am afraid it will inevitably lead to domestic chaos!

This is a statement on the surface, behind the scenes...

After attacking Jingzhou, the right to speak of these Jiangdong clans will undoubtedly be further compressed!

Soochow has become the world of the Huaisi faction!

But where did Gan Ning know so much, he fought the basis of reason, and did not give these big clans half face.

He even pointed at Zhang Zhao's nose and scolded angrily:

- "The country has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility like Xiao He, but you are staying behind and worrying about chaos, what do you use to pursue the ancients!" ”

It was Gan Ning's proposal that strengthened Sun Quan's idea of using troops in Jingzhou.

This is why there were three expeditions to the west to Huang Zu and Huang Zu was captured!

At the same time, since then, Gan Ning has formed a grudge with the Dongwu clan that is "not big or small".

mentioned Gan Ning's deeds, Guan Lin talked eloquently for an hour.

That's it now...

can mention now, Guan Lin's tone has become a deep groan: "Over the years, Gan Ning has experienced the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Mixukou, the Battle of Wancheng, the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, the Battle of Weishui, there is no shortage of Wulin to defeat Cao's army, Weixukou hundred cavalry robbed the camp, stormed and captured Wancheng, captured the enemy general, Xiaoyaojin covered Sun Quan's withdrawal, and Xishui burned Cao's army camp... These feats, feats! Can... What is his official rank? ”

"From beginning to end, Gan Ning was nothing more than a miscellaneous general, and his subordinates... The 800 Jinfan sailors brought from Bashu are fighting less and less, and there are only more than 100 left, but Sun Quan has never replenished them, even if there is a single soldier... Since the death of Zhou Yu, this situation has been even worse, Gan Ning can at most have the temporary command of the army, but he has never had an army of henchmen! Why is that? ”

Guan Lin recounted the facts about Gan Ning's heartache over and over again.

While groaning bitterly, "Can you say that Gan Ning hasn't worked hard all these years?" Can you get him to go to his own problems? He has been working very hard, but the heart-piercing fact is that in Jiangdong, he can only be a general at most, no matter how much blood and sweat he sheds, he can only live in such a miscellaneous general, and there will be fewer and fewer henchmen under him! He will never have a soldier of his own! This is because... Because..."

The more Guan Lin's words were spoken, the more heart-wrenching they became, and the more they spoke, the more heart-piercing they became, not only piercing Ganning's heart, but also making Ling Tong and Zhuge Ke, who had escaped from the situation of "trapped beasts still fighting" in Eastern Wu, feel the same way.

Call...

Guan Lin let out a long breath, and he continued to mutter: "Because Gan Ning is neither a member of the Eastern Wu clan nor a Huaisi faction, he was born in Bashu... has no background, but he is not on good terms with Zhang Zhao, and he is-for-tat with major families, but he has a good and close relationship with Zhou Yu... But it is precisely like this, Zhou Yu's expedition to Bashu has become the fuse, Zhou Yu is to implement the strategy of dividing the world into two, and let the Shu man Gan Ning be the vanguard of the westward expedition... But with the fall of Zhou Yu, Gan Ning's position in Dongwu is even more embarrassing! He's not a batman, he's an outcast who doesn't want both! ”

Call... This is the third time Guan Lin has exhaled.

Hold an uneven exhalation for Gan Ning!

"This world is like this, many things, many times, it's not that we don't work hard, but even if we work hard, we can't change many facts, we can't change our origins, we can't change our position, at least in Koto... But in the same way, this is also my uncle, my father, Zhuge Junshi... The direction of their efforts and struggles, they want to give more hope to those who have no background! ”

In the next words, Guan Lin added more seriousness, as if he deliberately wanted to say to Zhuge Ke and Ling Tong, "I don't say how good my uncle is here, there is no absolute fairness in this world, but at least... It's much fairer here than Cao Wei and Dongwu! Here there will be no blood, sweat and tears for the heroes ... No one will only give a miscellaneous general after making a great feat, and even a marquis is not willing to be rewarded! ”

Guan Lin's words are not groundless...

Gan Ning in history, it's not too much to call it the first brave warrior of Eastern Wu, right?

But such a person is excluded everywhere in Soochow, let alone entering the Taimiao, that is... After his death, he didn't even posthumously crown a marquis!

The highest done... It's such a miscellaneous general as "Folding Chong"!

It can be said that if Ganning is in Cao Wei, his achievements will not be weaker than Zhang Wenyuan;

But Fan Ganning may not be comparable to the second master in Shu Han, but at least it is above Wei Yan.

But it's just such a Soochow, it's a waste.

Loyalty, all wasted!

"Alas... Having said so much, I don't know Gan Ning yet... What's the situation like today? ”

It seems that Guan Lin realized that his words were too many and too dense, and now... This is not the time to discuss these at all, the urgency... It is Gan Ning's safety.

Looking at the busy Zhang Zhongjing, he didn't dare to disturb, so he simply lowered his head and sat here... Keep waiting, waiting silently.

It was Zhuge Ke, after listening to Guan Lin's words, he couldn't help but open his mouth and asked, "Yunqi Gongzi, what do you think... Will Gan Xingba surrender? He... The glory of the past belongs to Soochow! ”

This...

Hearing this topic, Guan Lin's face was calm, as if Zhuge Ke was extremely worried about this matter, but it couldn't bring him a trace of throbbing, as if the answer was already doomed.

"Yes, because... A person like Gan Xingba, who is 'swaggering and swaggering', I am sure... His life's dream and pursuit is to return to Shuzhong and return to his hometown... Besides, I just got the news, just last night... Sun Quan designated Gan Ning as a national thief, Su Fei and Sun Jiao went to persuade Sun Quan to take back his fate, but they never thought about it... But he was ordered by Sun Quan to ask for beheading-"

Yes...

Guan Lin's words made Ling Tong and Zhuge Ke stunned, but they also made Gan Ning stand up directly from the sickbed.

He exclaimed, "Su Fei and Sun Jiao... To be beheaded? ”

Speaking of...

Guan Lin's sentence is extremely powerful, whether it is the first half of the sentence, it is determined that Gan Ning's pursuit is to return to his hometown, or the second half of the sentence, Su Fei and Sun Jiao!

It's all tantamount to a thunderbolt... It slammed heavily on Gan Ning's head.

Guan Lin didn't expect that this sentence directly woke up Gan Ning, and there was still a big smell, as if he was sitting up in a dying dream.

Rather... This Su Fei, Sun Jiao and Gan Ning have a great relationship.

Let's talk about Su Fei first, when Gan Ning was depressed under Huang Zu, it was Su Fei who helped him, escaped from Jiangxia, and joined Jiangdong.

After Huang Zu was captured, Sun Quan made two boxes, which were used to hold Huang Zu and Su Fei's heads, and it was Gan Ning who pleaded with Sun Quan and guaranteed that if Su Fei ran away, he would put his Gan Ning's head into the box instead of Su Fei's!

It can be said that the relationship between Gan Ning and Su Fei is mutually fulfilling, not brothers, but better than brothers.

Besides, Sun Jiao, as the general of the Eastern Wu clan and Sun Quan's cousin, once quarreled with Gan Ning because of trivial matters.

Gan Ning's temperament is not used to this Dongwu clan at all.

It was Sun Quan who wrote a letter to reproach Sun Jiao, which made Sun Jiao realize... It shouldn't be so narrow-minded.

specially apologized for the sin and also asked Gan Ning for the sin.

Gan Ning generously revealed the matter, and the two did not know each other because of this, and formed a deep friendship!

Speaking of which, this is also Gan Ning's only "best friend" in Soochow...

In addition to the two of them, Gan Ning also has a close friend who is Lu Meng!

But Lu Meng understands people's hearts too well, and he will never anger Sun Quan at such a time because of Gan Ning.

"General Gan is awake?"

With Guan Lin's exclamation, Gan Ning's voice was as impatient as ever, "You are the famous Guan Yunqi, right?" You just said... Su Fei and Sun Jiao... They..."

When he said this, Gan Ning's eyes were no longer as resolute as they had been.

In some turbid pupils, reactionary emotions are extremely strong and complex, some are shocked, some are desperate, some are resentful, some are sad, but the most is worry, deep worry!

The mention of these two people made Guan Lin's eyes also complicated, just like a traveler who was about to reach the top after trekking the mountain road, and suddenly found that there was an insurmountable gap ahead, and said to him coldly:

- "Turn back, you may not be able to pass!"

Oh, yes...

There are still two characters left before persuading Gan Ning to surrender!

"General Gan..."Guan Lin expressed his heart directly, but his tone was solemn and unrelaxed, "I don't want to promise you anything, but... I have sent someone to rescue these two people, but I can't promise you whether they can be rescued or not! ”

Gan Ning glanced at Guan Lin and said coldly: "What do you want to save?" Do you use a way to make that Sun Quan suspicious of me? ”

It's like...

After a period of rest, Gan Ning figured it out.

It also made Gan Ning feel that there was indeed an invisible hand that was controlling all this.

If you think of the previous Lu Xun and Ling Tong...

So... It is not difficult to deduce that this invisible hand is mostly related to the Guan family Shilang, Guan Lin, and Guan Yunqi.

So...

Gan Ning asked.

However, this question made Ling Tong and Zhuge Ke's mood suddenly become nervous, and they looked at Guan Lin with some worry...

Guan Lin showed as calm as ever.

"Bo Yan asked me a question before... At such a big price, is it worth it to get you Gan Xingba to Jingzhou? That's how I answered..."

Guan Lin's expression was a little sad, but his slightly tearful eyes were burning like fire, "I said... Leave you Gan Xingba in Jiangdong, that's really cruel! ”

This...

With Guan Lin's sentence, it is not difficult for Gan Ning to recall Guan Lin's words.

Especially the sentence...

- "Can you say that Gan Ning has not worked hard all these years? Can you get him to find his own problems?'

- "He has been working hard, but the heart-piercing fact is that in Jiangdong, no matter how much blood and sweat he sheds, he can only live in such a miscellaneous general!"

Obviously, Gan Ning didn't like Guan Lin's words, and felt that this sentence was made up and a lie.

Can... personal experience, as well as the experience of working with Sun Quan for many years, constantly warned him that these words... It's true! Absolutely!

And continue to deduce this sentence.

He stayed in Koto, and the final doomed result ... Most of them are really the words "cruel"!

Think about this...

Gan Ning struggled to stand up and stand up accurately.

Zhang Zhongjing reminded, "You are still very weak and can't get up..."

Guan Lin signaled, let him do whatever he wanted... Such an iron-clad tough guy is impossible to stop.

But I could hear the footsteps of "stepping" and "stepping" low and heavy.

Finally, Gan Ning walked in front of Guan Lin.

Zhuge Ke and Ling Tong both clenched their fists a little nervously, for fear that Gan Ning would make some drastic moves.

Just when everyone was extremely nervous.

With a "snap", Gan Ning knelt down, and the iron-clad tough guy knelt down on one knee towards Guan Lin at this moment.

This is - military salute!

And with the occurrence of this scene, Gan Ning's words came out one after another, "I used to think that no one in the world really understood me!" But when I was confused, I heard your words, and I was shocked... You, Guan Jia Shiro, know me better than I Gan Ning himself! ”

Gan Ning's voice was a little hoarse, and he was even weaker than the wound had not healed.

But he slowed down as much as he could, making each word seem firmer and calmer.

"You know me, since I failed to rebel in Yizhou and was forced to leave my hometown, I... My life's wish is to return to Naba again, as you said... Come home rich or famous! ”

"Zhou Lang gave me hope back then, so I can fight hard for him and be loyal to him, but it's a pity... He fell on the way to Bashu in the west, and fell on Baqiu... Right now... You, you have a thing that gives me this hope! Clothing... Returning home, I and the eight hundred... Eight hundred left their brother's clothes and returned home—"

Speaking of the sore spot in his heart, Gan Ning seemed to have aged a lot and weakened a lot.

There were tears in his eyes.

No matter how strong a man is, he can't resist the temptation of "returning home", and many times, it's not that he doesn't return... It's that he hasn't been able to wear a jade robe, and he can't be dressed in a brocade robe!

Guan Lin looked at Gan Ning in front of him.

In fact, the so-called return to his hometown is just his speculation.

The principle he guessed was that what people lacked would be revealed. Whether it was Gan Ning in the past, or Gan Ning now, he is so swaggering through the market, and the so-called "Jinfan"...

What is the purpose? Isn't it just to "return home", in order to prove to his hometown that he Ganning Ganxingba didn't lose back then, he came back...

He has made a name for himself over the years!

"General Gan...", without waiting for Guan Lin to speak.

"Yunqi..."Gan Ning interrupted Guan Lin's words, he continued, meticulously, and said in a firm tone, "Please, save the pair of brothers Su Fei and Sun Jiao for me, I... I'll fight Cao Wei for you, I'll level Jiangdong for you, I'll ... To make a name for myself, I want to... As you said... Return home, together with the soul bones of my eight hundred brothers, return home, eight hundred brothers return to their hometown-"
