Chapter 129 Double Halberds

It has been two years since Gan Ning joined forces with Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others to counterattack Liu Zhang, and retreated to Jingzhou with [-] boys. He was stationed in Nanyang to defend against the refugees in the north, but it was never used.

Every time Gan Ning thinks that he is nearly [-] years old and still achieve nothing, Gan Ning will feel sad and difficult to resolve.

Liu Jing naturally knew that he was frustrated in Jingzhou, and it had only been two years. According to historical development, this was just the beginning. In the future, he would spend more than ten years in Jingzhou, and he was able to escape at the age of forty. Go to Jiangdong.From this point of view, even if Gan Ning did not make the best use of him in Jiangdong, he was ten thousand times stronger than in Jingzhou.

Liu Jing invited him to drink, while comforting him, "Brother Gan has high ambitions, and his talents are a little bit better than others. Even though he is dormant for a while, I believe that Brother Gan will soar into the sky in the future."

"I hope it can be as Liu Jun said." After finishing speaking, Gan Ning drank the wine in his glass and asked, "Why did Liu Jun come to Nanyang?"

Liu Jun replied with a smile: "I came to Nanyang this time to welcome my relatives."

Gan Ning couldn't help laughing and said, "Congratulations Jun Liu, I wonder which girl Jun Liu is going to marry?"

"Nanyang Deng's family."

Gan Ning was deeply moved when he heard that, Deng is the common surname of Nanyang County, but only the Deng family of Xinye dared to be crowned as the Deng family of Nanyang. This is the most powerful family since the founding of the dynasty, and only Liu Jing has an identity like this Only those with a strong background are eligible to marry a girl from the Deng family.

Speaking of which, Gan Ning’s family also has a long history. He is the descendant of Gan Mao, the left prime minister of the Qin State during the Warring States Period. This name may be unfamiliar, but his grandson is more familiar. He was an envoy to Zhao State at the age of 12 and made great contributions. Worship Gan Luo as Shangqing.Gan Ning's ancestors moved to Linjiang County, Ba County, and now they are among the common surnames, alongside Yan, Wen, Yang, and Du, but at best they are a local wealthy family, far behind Nanyang's Deng's and Changsha's Liu's.

They drank and chatted, and gradually became acquainted. Gan Ning always had "Xia Ke Xing" in his heart, and said: "Ning is not a person who likes poetry and prose, but Liu Jun's "Xia Ke Xing" made Ning admire it. After hearing the full text, I feel deeply regretful.”

"What's so difficult about it?" Ma Zhou raised his unruly eyebrows, raised his wine glass and said loudly, "I'll chant him three or five times, and keep Brother Gan in mind."

Cai Sheng glanced at Gan Ning, stood up and said, "In this case, I will dance the sword to cheer up."

After saying that, Cai Sheng bowed to Liu Jingxiao, raised his sword and walked out.The space in the poop is narrow and it is inconvenient to use it. He came to the deck alone, drew his sword out of its sheath amidst the groans of Ma Zhou and others, wearing a bamboo crown on his head, dressed in white, and his figure was as graceful as a dragon swimming, as elegant as a dragon. Startled, I saw the sword light criss-crossing, the sky filled with cold shadows, and the speed of the strike was indescribable.

Ma Zhou really did what he said before, and he chanted five times before he stopped.

Cai Sheng also slowly received his power, and immediately attracted rounds of applause from the surrounding soldiers and husbands.

Standing in front of the window of the pier building, Liu Jing asked Gan Ning, "Cai Hongchao's swordsmanship is the best in Changsha, and he has never been the best match in a sword fight. Brother Gan, what do you think of Cai Hongchao's swordsmanship?"

Gan Ning praised: "Brother Cai's swordsmanship is indeed enough to rule the roost."

"I wonder how it compares to Brother Gan?" Liu Jing asked curiously.Gan Ning is a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, and Cai Sheng is probably not his opponent. Liu Jing is just curious about Cai Sheng's level. After all, Changsha belongs to the desert area of ​​the "Three Kingdoms" and lacks reference objects.

"You can only know this through comparison." Gan Ning said calmly, "Among Ning's various arts, archery is the first, followed by double halberds, and swords can only be ranked third."

Liu Jing nodded again and again when he heard this, this statement is believable, the Eastern Wu general, Ling Tong's father Ling Cao, was shot and killed by him, Gan Ning is a well-deserved marksman of the Three Kingdoms.Later, when confronted with Ling Tong's saber-wielding provocation, Gan Ning held his double halberds and prepared to fight without saying a word. It can be seen that his best weapon in close combat is undoubtedly the double halberds.

At this time, Cai Sheng happened to be walking back to the pier, and asked excitedly, "Brother Gan is good at using the double halberds? It is said that the method of the double halberds is 'the dragon and the tiger interact, and the gods change forever'. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, it is extremely difficult to succeed, but Once you master the essentials, fighting alone is far better than a sword."

Gan Ning nodded and said: "In the battle of the two halberds, the left hand is the dragon, and the right hand is the tiger. The more you hit, the more you go up, and you go down. Up and down are impermanent. They follow changes. They turn upside down into the bosom, and into the return wind. If you are proficient in this way, with two against one, you will naturally have the upper hand, and you will never be disadvantaged."

Liu Jing interjected: "I heard that there is an incomparable fierce general named Dian Wei under Cao Mengde's command. Ten catties." Brother Gan, I wonder how many catties your double halberds weigh?"

Gan Ning looked at Liu Jing speechlessly, this is obviously a joke in the army, how can it be taken seriously?

Liu Jing laughed, he also thought that he asked a stupid question, he is not a layman who does not know the depth, his own sword only weighs three catties, how could Dian Wei single halberd weigh forty catties?Could it be that his halberd is tempered from Tianshan cold iron?

Cai Sheng eagerly said, "Brother Gan, I have never met someone who is as good at using double halberds as you are in Changsha, why don't we have a contest?"

Seeing Cai Sheng's superb swordsmanship, Gan Ning was a bit eager to use his skills, but he didn't want to take advantage of him, and said bluntly: "I'm not boasting, if brother Cai only uses the sword, he will definitely not be my opponent."

Cai Sheng smiled and said: "Since brother Gan said so, then I will not be polite, and use the sword to fight brother Gan's double halberds."

"Okay." Gan Ning nodded.

Liu Jing hurriedly said: "Hongchao, brother Gan, you are making friends through martial arts, you must remember that enough is enough, if there is any damage, wouldn't it be a good thing to turn into a bad thing?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu." Cai Sheng and Gan Ning looked at each other and said at the same time.

Gan Ning did not carry the double halberds with him, so someone fetched the double halberds and held them in his hands. On the other side, Cai Sheng also begged for a leather wooden pole from the soldiers on board.

"Brother Gan, please." Cai Sheng said with a natural expression. He has learned swordsmanship by himself and has fought hundreds of sword fights with others.

"Please." Gan Ning crossed his halberds in front of his chest.

As soon as the word "please" fell, Cai Sheng raised his attack, stabbing Gan Ning's throat with his sword.

The halberd technique emphasizes both strength and skill, and it is very difficult to learn, especially the double halberds. Gan Ning is a master of this method. Facing Cai Sheng's surprise attack, his left halberd accurately touched the edge of the sword and swung it away. Between the flints cut across Cai Sheng's neck.

Cai Sheng didn't block with a sword, but took a step back to avoid the sharp edge according to the habit of using a sword in the past, then rubbed his body and went up again, and retreated again after encountering obstacles. Moving forward and backward, suddenly east and west, the sword moves are like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Gan Ning initially defended more than attacked, and soon he found out Cai Sheng's background. Cai Sheng was good at swordsmanship, but he was not good at using wu. Although wu strengthened his defense, it also hindered his swordsmanship. As far as Sheng is concerned, using a sword can be said to do more harm than good.

Gan Ning swung Cai Sheng's sword away again, and this time he launched a fierce counterattack. The two halberds were cut out at the same time, and the force was heavy, forcing Cai Sheng to defend with the halberd. Cai Sheng launched an attack with the 楯's blind spot, and the double halberds slashed like a gust of wind sweeping leaves. Cai Sheng had no other choice but to use the 楯 to protect himself and retreated repeatedly.

Seeing that Cai Sheng was at a disadvantage, Liu Jing hurriedly shouted "stop".
