Agreeing to Cai Mao's request was quite scary for everyone. When Li Yuguo and others arrived at Xinye City, their hearts became even more uncertain.
Xinye City was so dilapidated that it reminded Li Hugo of the former Nalan City.
"Dog Basket, this is not a city, it's clearly a village!" Ma Chao cursed.
When Ma Chao cursed these words, Li Yuguo was in a trance for a moment, because his tone was very similar to Guan Hai's. Although Li Yuguo was stunned for a moment, he did not look back, because if he didn't look back, he would have an illusion behind him, as if the Three Yellow Turban Heroes were now Not dead yet, right behind him.
"Well, this place is much better than the original Yiyang County. Back then, Yiyang County didn't have anything to offer. But if this city by the water develops well, we might be able to transform it into a land of plenty." said.
Li Yuguo said: "Wen Ruo, you promised Cai Hao before, but do you know that this is a trap?"
"Of course I know, but this is also an opportunity! Ming Gong, think about it, if we can complete his goal within one year, wouldn't we be able to gain a firm foothold and settle down in Xinye City? I predict that Cao Mengde and the North There will definitely be a great battle between Yuan Shao and it can take up to five years or at least three years, and there will only be one tiger in the north, either Cao Ah Ma or Yuan Benchu." Xun Yu said.
"Then we..."
"We can take advantage of the opportunity to develop and grow! And it is not difficult for us to achieve our goal. We only need to eliminate the water bandits around Xinye!" Xun Yu said.
"Water bandit?"
Xun Yu said confidently: "Yes, I heard that thirty miles east of this place, there is a group of water bandits called Jinfan Bandits. This group of people is amazing. The leaders are called Gan Ning and Su Fei. These two people They are all warriors, and the garrisoning of troops and food is a great scourge on the river!"
When he heard about Gan Ning and Su Fei, Li Yuguo's eyes lit up, they were two fierce generals from Soochow!
Li Yuguo knew about Gan Ning. He was a rich second generation. He was strong and good at martial arts when he was young, but he did not do his job properly. He is often surrounded by a group of people, and he is the leader. They wore brightly colored clothes, had feathers on their heads, bells on their bodies, and carried bows, arrows, knives and guns, and swaggered around. At that time, people called them "Jinfan Thieves."
In the Bajun and Xinye areas, mentioning Ganning is just like mentioning any underworld boss. These people wear embroidered and brocaded clothes when they go out. They walk on land and in cars, on the water, and in boats. The cables that tied the ship were all made of brocade. Often when they were leaving the shore, they would cut the brocade and the brocade would be gone. This was an extremely luxurious thing at the time.
Gan Ning's greatest advantage is his loyalty. If you are polite to him, Gan Ning will make friends with you, even through fire and water! If you look down on him, he will have you beaten and robbed. Even if you are in the government, he will kill you without any discussion.
It wasn't until he was in his twenties that Gan Ning suddenly wanted to study. So he studied various schools of thought very hard for a while, making himself like an educated man, and finally created a Gan Ning who was both wise and brave.
Gan Ning escaped from Huang Zu in Jiangxia and went to Sun Quan. Su Fei helped him a lot. Later, Sun Quan captured Huang Zu and prepared two boxes to hold his head. One belonged to Huang Zu, and the other was left for Su Fei. Su Fei quickly asked Gan Ning for help, and Gan Ning agreed, so he kowtowed to Sun Quan and exchanged blood and tears. Sun Quan gave Gan Ning face, so he pardoned Gan Ning.
Later, Lu Su confronted Guan Yu near Yiyang. Guan Yu had 30,000 men and brought 5,000 elite troops with him. He promised to cross the river late at night to attack. Gan Ning had 300 men at the time. Without thinking, he said to Lu Su: "You want to attack again?" Give me five hundred men, and I guarantee that Guan Yu will retreat when he hears me cough.
Lu Su directly gave him a thousand people. When Guan Yu heard that Gan Ning had led people to set up defenses, he canceled the plan to attack across the river. In the end, the two sides faced off for five months before ending the hostilities.
This person can be said to be both civilized and military, and he may be full of arrogance, but he is loyal to his master and is a fierce general, which also makes Li Huguo feel compassionate.
"Let's talk about the Jinfan thief later. I'm going to visit a wise man now." Li Hugo said.
Xun Yu smiled and said, "But Xu Yuanzhi?"
"Exactly, this great sage will let me go alone to show his sincerity. I will leave the affairs of the house to you. You have the final say on all political affairs." Li Hugo said.
It seemed that this sentence was an understatement, but in Xun Yu's heart, it set off a huge wave. Xun Yu's body was shaken, his lips trembled, and he looked at Li Yuguo with tears in his eyes: "Yes, my lord!"
At this moment, Xun Yu knew that Li Huguo trusted him very much and trained him as the first minister of the cabinet. He had the final say in all political affairs? What is this concept
Li Hugo directly gave half of all the food, salaries, troops, logistics and even the right to govern the new fields to Xun Yu!
This kind of trust was something Xun Yu had never had before. He could feel Li Huguo's trust in him. It was true trust, without any cover-up!
Li Yuguo didn't think much about it, but when he got on the horse, he found that Lu Qiling was also following him. Li Yuguo smiled half-heartedly: "Girl, what are you doing here?"
"What's going on? You can't come? I'm worried that if you meet a lustful female robber with your half-exposure, and you can't do it, then I'll have to deal with it for you!" said Lu Qiling, chuckling. got up.
Li Yuguo shook his head: "I don't plan to take anyone there. You should go back. Instead, let Wen Ruo choose a room for you, or you can choose your own and just live there."
"Brother Hugo, I heard that there is a ghost market somewhere in Xinye, why don't we go and see it together?" Lu Qiling said.
Li Yuguo smiled and said: "Next time, let's do business first this time, but you might as well come with me. I want to meet a great sage. This great sage is handsome, charming, and loved by everyone. When you see the flowers bloom, you are the only one in heaven and the only one on earth who has great talent."
"Junsheng? I don't care! What I care about is a great hero who can recite poems and write poems, fight on the battlefield, has deep love and loyalty, and is loyal to the Han Dynasty!" Lu Qiling said, she glanced at Li Huguo secretly.
Li Huguo sighed: "I'm afraid there are no such people. Nowadays, those who write literature either don't have martial arts skills, and those who know martial arts skills either don't understand writing. To get the best of both worlds, I'm afraid there are very few."
Lu Qiling thought to herself that you were one of them, but Lu Qiling just thought about it in her mind and did not say it out loud.
When Li Yuguo came to a thatched house, he suddenly heard the sound of poetry reciting. Li Yuguo immediately dismounted and looked around, and found that the thatched house was very simple. Although it was simple, the surroundings were also very clean.
"Is Mr. Xu here?" Li Huguo asked.
