The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 95 Persuading Gan Ning
"My son is invincible!" Xu Zhu was very dissatisfied, so he also shouted to cheer for Li Yuan, but his voice was too loud, like thunder, and instantly overwhelmed the water thief's voice.

"You are good at water. Today I will let you try the taste of the Yangtze River." Li Yuan was extremely fighting, knowing that underwater is more laborious than on land, and the resistance in the water is extremely high, even if he punches with all his strength. Without much impact, the best choice for underwater combat is to suffocate the opponent.

Li Yuan swam to Gan Ning's back, wrapped his feet tightly around his waist, and pressed down his head with both hands, forcing him into the water so he couldn't breathe.

Gan Ning struggled fiercely, but Li Yuan's hands seemed to have a thousand catties of strength. No matter how hard he tried to break them, he couldn't break them apart. The underwater strength wasted a lot, and Gan Ning barely had the strength to struggle for less than half a cup of tea.

Li Yuan saw that Gan Ning was unable to struggle and he had not breathed in the water for a long time, and he believed that he drank a lot of water, so he let go of Gan Ning and let him float up by himself.

"Hahahaha, how is it? The Yangtze River water tastes good, right?" Li Yuan swam back to his boat, and Xu Zhu pulled him up.

"Mr. Li, are you not injured?" Xiao Qiao couldn't help but ran over and asked concerned.

Li Yuan shook his head, "It's okay, if there is something to do, it's his business."

"Let's wipe off the water first." Da Qiao took out a towel and wiped it for Li Yuan, like the most virtuous wife.

"I want to wipe it too." Xiao Qiao also took out a towel and wiped it for Li Yuan, as if she wanted to compete with her sister for favor. Qiao Guolao at the side felt uncomfortable seeing this, thinking that the daughter she had raised so hard would be taken away. Yes, it is true that the female university is not allowed to stay.

"Li Zheng, you are amazing. You are the first person who can defeat me Gan Ning on the water. I will let you go today. You can go." Gan Ning was convinced of the defeat and stopped embarrassing Li Yuan.

"Gan Ning, don't leave yet," Li Yuan called to Gan Ning, "I have something important to talk to you alone, is it convenient?"

Gan Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Then come here."

So the boats of the two sides approached each other, Li Yuan went to Gan Ning's boat, Gan Ning sent his men to the other boats, and talked with Li Yuan alone.

"What do you want to say?" Gan Ning asked.

"If I have something to say, I'll just say it. Brother Gan, you are so talented, why are you just being a water thief and doing business without money on the big river? It's really a waste." Li Yuan said regretfully.

"Business without capital is just my expedient measure. I want to make a name for myself first, and then go to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao. Then I will be able to establish a career and become famous all over the world, hahahaha." Gan Ning had already planned in his heart. In history, he also became a Jinfan thief first and then went to seek refuge with Liu Biao.

"Why do you insist on relying on Liu Biao?" Li Yuan asked puzzled.

"Liu Biao occupies Jingzhou and is very powerful, and he has no generals under his command. If I go, I will have a chance to succeed." It is because Liu Biao has no generals under his command that Gan Ning wants to work for Liu Biao. He glanced at Li Yuan, "Li Zheng , your martial arts are superior to mine, why don't you join me in relying on Liu Biao, as the saying goes, a man's ambition is everywhere, what's the point of living in this world if he doesn't make some achievements."

Li Yuan felt a little funny, before he started to win over Gan Ning, Gan Ning had already persuaded him to join Liu Biao, and said with a smile: "Brother Gan, this statement is wrong. Although Liu Biao has no generals under his command, Huang Zu who commanded the navy is a People who are jealous of talents, with him around, I am afraid Brother Gan will be restricted by him and unable to show his strengths."

"I haven't met Huang Zu yet, just listening to your one-sided words can't convince me." Gan Ning didn't believe Li Yuan's words.

"Think about it again, even if Huang Zu is willing to use you, so what? I don't think Liu Biao will trust you. You were born as a water thief and did business without money on the river. Jinfan's name has long been famous in the Yangtze River. Although The reputation is not small, but it is not a good reputation, and Liu Biao is also a person who cherishes his reputation very much, how could he be willing to use someone like you?" Li Yuan wanted to persuade Gan Ning to give up Liu Biao.

Gan Ning frowned, feeling that Li Yuan's words were not unreasonable, and after thinking about it, he asked, "In your opinion, is there anyone in this world who is worthy of my service?"

"There are so many heroes in the world today, and there is only one person who can appoint a virtuous person regardless of his background, and that is Li Yuan from Xuzhou!" Li Yuan praised himself vigorously, "I heard that Li Yuan loves talents very much, as long as he is a talented person, no matter what He can trust and use any background, Liu Pi, Xidu, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang who are from the yellow scarf, he does not dislike, let alone you, your martial arts should be better than Liu Pi and others, if you take refuge in General Li, you will definitely be able to get reuse."

"Although what you say is reasonable, I have admired Liu Biao for a long time, not to mention that Jiangxia is far away from Xiapi and closer to Xiangyang. I'd better go to Xiangyang first and then make plans." Gan Ning rejected Li Yuan's proposal and decided to join Liu Biao .

"Since Brother Gan has made up his mind, I will not persuade you anymore. Liu Biao is in a high position. It may be difficult for you to see him. You can consider going to Huang Zu first. If Huang Zu is willing to appoint you, then you can go to see Liu Biao. Huang Zu doesn't trust you either. I think it's better for you not to stay. Although Liu Biao has many troops, he has no ambitions. He has occupied Jingzhou for many years and has no intention of expanding. I don't think Brother Gan will be too much if he stays. More opportunities to do meritorious service, of course, this is just my personal opinion, if you don’t like it there, you can go to Xuzhou to find me, and I will definitely recommend you to General Li.”

Li Yuan knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, Gan Ning had to hit a wall to make him give up on Liu Biao.

"Thank you for your kindness. If Liu Biao and Huang Zu are really as you said, then I will definitely go to Xuzhou to find you." Gan Ning clasped his fists at Li Yuan.

"Okay, let's stop here for today, I have to hurry to Chaisang." After Li Yuan and Gan Ning said goodbye, they returned to their boat.

"Did you just want to recruit the water thief leader?" Xu Zhu asked softly in Li Yuan's ear.

"That's right, Gan Ning is a talent, and he is very familiar with water warfare. Our army lacks a general who is familiar with water warfare. He is the best choice, but he insists on serving Liu Biao." Li Yuan's voice revealed Feeling helpless, he knew that Gan Ning was not favored by Liu Biao, but he was not sure whether he would choose to work for Liu Biao. After all, in history, Gan Ning first took refuge in Liu Biao and then Sun Quan.

"If he works for Liu Biao, won't he be our enemy in the future?"

"That's right, I hope this won't happen." Li Yuan sighed.

After a small episode on the big river, the boat continued to sail to Chaisang.

Two hours later, Li Yuan and others arrived in Chaisang. It was already night when they arrived in Chaisang, and they found a local inn to rest for the night, and continued on their way the next day.
