Gan Ning looked blank and murmured: "Is there such a rule in our business? Why don't I know."
When Liu Xin touched his head, it turned out that he was ahead again, so he said nonchalantly: "Okay, no matter whether there is this rule or not, you want to go back empty-handed like this?"
Gan Ning was surprised, and asked, "My lord, don't you kill me?"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Why should I kill you? Let's talk, what do you want to bring back?"
Gan Ning smiled miserably, and said: "It's a blessing to be able to save his life, how dare you still look to Shu?"
Liu Xin suddenly patted Gan Ning on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, I know how to advance and retreat. Would you like to help me with things and take an official home?"
Gan Ning said disapprovingly: "You high-ranking officials, what else can you do besides oppressing the people? How is it different from us bandits and pirates."
Liu Xin shook his head and said, "Ganning, you are still young, and there are many things you don't understand. It is precisely because these people are oppressing the people that it is even more necessary for people of righteousness to hold official positions and speak for the people. If you are willing, you must first Come with me to Changsha. If you don’t want to, just go. I’ll give you a bag of gold and silver and don’t tell you to leave empty-handed."
Gan Ning stood there for a while. He didn't quite understand what Liu Xin said, but it was obvious that Liu Xin didn't have any bad intentions towards him. He was fighting between heaven and man in his heart, and it was difficult to decide where to go.
Liu Xin didn't say anything, but waited quietly for his decision. He knew that in history, Gan Ning didn't wake up until he was in his twenties, washed his hands, worked hard to read, and later became a member of the Sun Wu Group. Liu Xin didn't expect Gan Ning to agree to work for himself at this time, but he couldn't do things that he couldn't get rid of for his own use. If Gan Ning refuses to take refuge in herself, Liu Xin will let him go and give him a bag of gold and silver, at least as a friendship.
Suddenly heard a "plop". Gan Ning turned to Liu Xin and knelt down, bowed to the ground, and said, "Thank you for not killing the lord. From then on, Gan Ning will go through fire and water for the lord and will never die!"
Liu Xin was overjoyed and stretched out her hand to lift Gan Ning up, and said, "Okay, Liu has your help, so I have no worries!"
He said this from the bottom of his heart. Although Cai Wei and Zhang Yun are familiar with water warfare, they are not capable of leading the army. The rest of the generals are all quick to step forward. Now that Gan Ning is effective, they can definitely build a strong team. Navy.
Gan Ning stood up and said, "Dare to ask the lord, what should my brothers do?"
Liu Xin said without hesitation: "Since these people are your brothers, let you handle them. If they are willing to join the army, they will serve as your personal soldiers. If they are not willing to join the army, they will share some money with them and ask them to each other. Go home and buy a piece of land to live your life. Don’t come out to be a thief anymore."
Gan Ning said gratefully, "Thank you, lord!" Most of the bandits were willing to follow Gan Ning to join the army.
After a delay of half a day here, the team resumed their journey. Gan Ning led his three clippers to clear the way. They were more familiar with this waterway than the navy officers and soldiers. It was clear where there were dangerous beaches and where there were reefs, and they were much faster than before. The next day In the afternoon, I have arrived at the Changsha section of the Xiangjiang River.
The fleet berthed on the river bank, Liu Xin left some soldiers to guard the ship, and the rest abandoned the boat and landed ashore. There was also a sedan chair on the boat. The family members of Tian Feng, Huang Zhong, and Father Xu all got on the carriage, and loaded some carts with gifts to reward the armed forces, and the group headed towards the city of Changsha.
Gan Ning is only a fifteen-year-old boy. Although Liu Xin has not formally appointed him to an official position, he knows from Liu Xin's words that he will be reused, and he can't help but look very excited. Raised the broadsword, turned over and rushed to the front.
I have seen the city of Changsha, Gan Ning is still dressed as before. The horse is galloping, the wind is blowing, and the bells on his body make a crisp sound, which spreads far, far away.
In the hall of Changsha County Office, Tian Feng, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong were sitting opposite each other, chatting about family life. Recently, all aspects of Changsha have gradually returned to normal, and they have gradually relaxed. As the Spring Festival approached, they came to Changsha alone and their home was still in Xiangyang, so they could not help but miss their family a little. At this moment, a soldier came to report that the Jinfan thief was found outside the city.
The name of Jinfan Thief is also very resounding in Changsha. Just now, Gan Ning was excited for a while, broke away from the brigade, and rushed forward. Hearing the sound of his bells, the people who were busy entering and leaving the city gate knew him, so they couldn't help shouting, and there was chaos at the city gate. Some time ago, there were frequent harassment by bandits. Tian Feng and the others were already used to it. Huang Zhong immediately led people to the top of the city. Xu Chu ordered five hundred soldiers to rush out of the city gate. Tian Feng stayed in the center and responded to the dispatch without the slightest panic.
Seeing that the people were in a mess, Gan Ning did not know why, so he stopped the horse on the spot and hesitated.
But I saw a group of people rushing out of the city gate, the first general, black-faced and beard, holding a bright knife in his hand, and shouted: "Where is the Jinfan Thief? Others are afraid of you, but I don’t Fear, come and come, fight me for three hundred rounds!"
Gan Ning was furious, hurried his horse, raised a knife and shouted: "If you don't know whether you live or die, take your grandfather Gan a knife."
When the two horses crossed, they fought together. Xu Chu slashed, and Gan Ning raised his sword to greet him. He only heard a "choking" sound, and his arms were numb, and he secretly said in his heart, this black servant is so powerful!
Gan Ning and Xu Chu fought for more than 20 rounds. Liu Xin's brigade had already caught up. Zhao Yun hurriedly rushed forward and shouted: "You two, let's do it slowly!"
Xu Chu glanced at Zhao Yun, opened Gan Ning's knife holder, and said in surprise: "Seventh brother, why are you here? Help me take down this Jinfan thief!"
Gan Ning is now obsessed with good intentions, and most annoys others calling himself a thief, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, who is the Jinfan thief? I am now a general under Master Zhou Mu."
Zhao Yun had come to the front at this time and said, "Brother Six, you have misunderstood, this General Gan Ning has already served as Big Brother."
When Xu Chu heard this, he laughed and said, "It's really a family that doesn't know the family. General Gan has a good time."
How could Gan Ning stop knowing his identity, and said, "Hahaha, you can't get acquainted if you don't fight, the general is so powerful."
The three laughed together. At this time, Liu Xin's team also came to them. When Father Xu saw his son in the car, he couldn't help crying and opened the curtains and shouted, "Zhongkang!"
When Xu Chu saw him, he hurriedly threw the knife in his hand, rolled off the saddle, and came to the car and said with tears: "Father, why are you here!"
Liu Xin stayed in the middle of the team all the time. At this time, he immediately fought forward and said, "Sixth brother, I specially sent my uncle here to spend a reunion year with you."
Xu Chu saw Liu Xin and said excitedly: "Brother, you are here too!"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "It's the New Year, come and see you, where are Yuan Hao and Han Sheng?"
Xu Chu quickly said: "I heard that the Jinfan thief is coming. They are dispatching troops and generals in the city. I will call them now."
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "No, let's go into the city together!"
When Tian Feng and Huang Zhong learned that Liu Xin had personally escorted their home school to Changsha, they were moved to tears and could not speak for a while. After a long time, Huang Zhongcai pulled his son Huang Xu to Liu Xin and said, "Xu'er, come and thank the lord for saving his life!"
Huang Xu respectfully knocked his head three times towards Liu Xin, but Liu Xin didn't stop him. At the beginning of the year, Huang Xu had already been sentenced to death by several doctors in the city. If Liu Xin happened to come to the door and take him to Zhang Ji for treatment, he would be dead now. It was just not long before Huang Zhong was secretly sent to Changsha, and he never had the opportunity to take his son to thank Liu Xin in person.
Liu Xin pulled up Huang Xu and said to Huang Zhong and Tian Feng: "Today you are reunited, everyone is happy, don't stick to the small section. Xu'er is good, I heard from Mr. Cai that he worked very hard in the academy, and he must be a good one in the future. Made material!"
When Tian Feng and others’ family members settled down, everyone was seated again in the hall. Liu Xin pointed to Gan Ning and said, "Come on, I will introduce you a new person. This is the famous Jinfan Thief Gan Ning. !"
Gan Ning pouted unhappily and said, "Lord, I am no longer a thief."
Everyone laughed. However, Liu Xin knew that in history, Liu Biao and Huang Zu looked down on Gan Ning because he was a thieves, which led Gan Ning to switch to Soochow. He quickly made a round and patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I was wrong. You Now you are the general of our Jingzhou! I will now formally appoint you as the deputy captain of the Jingzhou navy, with full responsibility for the formation and training of the Changsha navy."
There is no navy in Changsha. Liu Xin asked Ganning to form a navy in Changsha. When something happened suddenly, everyone could not help but feel a little surprised.
Liu Xin explained: “Now that the Jingzhou naval forces are stationed in Jiangxia, it is very inconvenient. I have long thought of establishing another naval force. But Changsha is isolated on the south of the Yangtze River, and its connection with Xiangyang is all dependent on the waterway. The navy army. General Gan lives on the river all year round. It is the best candidate to form the Changsha navy army. The Spring Festival is about to be celebrated. You don’t need to worry too much about this. You can think about it first and wait until the first lunar month to start preparations. You need to calculate the funds carefully, and the full amount will be allocated by Xiangyang."
Tian Feng’s biggest worry was that it would cost a lot to form a navy, while Changsha had a small population and it was more difficult to afford it. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin had already considered these things and couldn't help but nod secretly.
Gan Ning stood up "brushing" and said, "Thank you for your love, and you will definitely fulfill your mission in the end."
Xu Chu smiled and said, "General Gan's martial arts are extraordinary. It is more than enough to be a deputy captain of the navy."
Gan Ning said with a smile: "Compared with you and General Zhao, I am afraid that my martial arts will not last two hundred rounds. I didn't expect that the lord's men are really talented."
Zhao Yun also said: "General Gan doesn't need to be self-effacing anymore. Your martial arts is between my second and fourth brothers, and there is not much difference from the few of us. We will have time in the future to learn from each other."
Gan Ning was secretly surprised when he heard it. It seemed that the martial arts he was proud of was ranked relatively low under Liu Xin. He was about to speak, but he heard Wenpin say: "Everyone in this room is talking about martial arts, or Han Sheng. The highest, I'm going to be at the bottom."
Huang Zhong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "General Zhongye is both civil and military, but he is not good at martial arts. There is no comparison. If you only talk about martial arts, the most unpredictable is naturally the lord, and Huang is willing to go down."
