The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 230 Meeting Gan Ning

"The scenery in Jingxiang is really extraordinary, but it's a pity that I can't bring Yan'er and the others together this time."

More than a hundred people can only run as merchants. Fortunately, the Wei family has established a family based on merchants, and they often have business contacts with Jingzhou, so they will not attract attention.

"The land of Jingxiang is full of outstanding people and countless talents. It is a pity that although Liu Biao is known as the 'Eight Steeds', he has been guarding himself behind closed doors, like a dog guarding the house. It is a waste of this great foundation."

Zhou Yu shook his head with a disdainful smile, obviously not very fond of Liu Biao, a clan member of the Han family.

"And I heard that Liu Biao is the best talker, but the incompetent people under his command occupy high positions, and the talented people can't stretch their ambitions, so they can't be regarded as heroes."

"Hehe...Liu Biao is also helpless. Not to mention that he is old, he no longer has the loyalty of entering Jingzhou alone, and in recent years he has married the Cai family in Jingzhou. The power in Jingzhou is still in the hands of Jingzhou scholars. Then Liu Biao Since we rely on them, it is naturally impossible to mobilize them easily."

Wei Tao shook his head and smiled, but it was just an explanation, but it was just a cover-up.

After all, Liu Biao has occupied Jingzhou for many years. It is naturally possible to say that he is controlled by the local gentry in Jingzhou, but it is a lie to say that even the generals cannot be mobilized.

Besides, which side of the world does not have a person of great family background among the princes, and it is not clear how they are being controlled. In the final analysis, Liu Biao is not the master, and he just keeps himself behind closed doors.

We must know that Liu Biao has always been like a bystander whether it is the Yellow Turban Rebellion or Dong Zhuo's disaster. Apart from issuing one or two innocuous proclamations, he has not made much action at all.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, this is not something we can discuss with our identities."

Wei Tao shook his head and put the matter aside. If there was no one around and the two of them talked directly about the Lord of a State without any scruples, the result might not be very good.

"Gongjin, what should we do now? But first go to see Gan Ning?"

Wei Tao also sent people to inquire about Jingzhou's information, so he has a rough idea of ​​the current counselors and generals in Jingxiang, but what makes Wei Tao dumbfounded is that neither Huang Zhong nor Gan Ning are obviously among them.

It's not that his ability is not good, but that his position is low and he is not known at all.

Therefore, Wei Tao, who originally wanted to recruit more talents, has already let go of his mind. The purpose this time should be to recruit Gan Ning and at the same time recruit Huang Zhong as much as possible. It is considered good to be able to achieve this.

"My lord, how about going to see Gan Ning first? I don't know how talented other people are, but I have witnessed Gan Ning's martial prowess with my own eyes, so I should let my lord use it."

As soon as Zhou Yu cupped his hand, he recommended it to Wei Tao.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go see Gan Ning."

Now that he has made a decision, Wei Tao immediately ordered the team to change the itinerary and go straight to Jiangxia.

Gan Ning is now serving as a general under Huang Zu's command, in fact Gan Ning's life has been very difficult during this period of time, not long ago he was reprimanded again.

Not for anything else, just because Gan Ning was once a bandit, so Gan Ning was looked down upon by many people in Jiangxia, but whenever he had the opportunity, he would make things difficult for him and make him unable to express his anger.

"Xingba, I'm not talking about you. There are some things you should bear. I tried everything I could to say good things to you in front of the young master, but why didn't you listen? If you were willing to give me some gifts , can't..."

Gan Ning's friend Su Fei kept talking, but seeing the indifferent look on Gan Ning's face, he couldn't continue, and could only speak helplessly.

"If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the army!"

"Hmph! If it wasn't for the brothers, I wouldn't be here to suffer!"

Gan Ning was extremely angry after being reprimanded for an excuse just now, but he didn't feel bad about Su Fei as a friend, he just complained quite angrily.

"A while ago, Sun Ce sent troops to take revenge. If I hadn't beheaded the general Ling Cao, I'm afraid Jiang Xia would have changed hands for him, but what happened? A sentence of Huang She's meritorious command will erase Lao Tzu's credit. That's all. , I even dared to accuse me of disobedience, why would I have to sacrifice my life for Grandfather Huang and his son if things go on like this?"

Huang She is the son of Huang Zu, in this land of Jiangxia, it is naturally impossible for Gan Ning to defeat him.

This matter has to be talked about from the time of Dong Zhuo's rebellion. At that time, after Sun Jian got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, he kept it privately, and then left with an excuse.

It's just that the news had been leaked at that time, but Sun Jian was a prince all the way after all, even Yuan Shao couldn't be embarrassed.

However, Yuan Shao was not a cheap lamp, so he wrote to Liu Biao to reveal the news.

Although Liu Biao had been guarding Jingzhou and remained unmoved, he was still tempted by the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country, so he sent someone to ambush Sun Jian and shot him to death in the first battle.

In this way, Liu Biao naturally had revenge against Sun Ce for killing his father.

In the past, Sun Ce could only take refuge in Yuan Shu's tent, and naturally it was impossible to talk about revenge, but now it is different. Sun Ce has won many battles in Jiangdong, and he has gathered a group of capable ministers and generals. The strength is very different.

But with Sun Ce's impetuous mentality, after a decision, he sent people to attack Jiang Xia in the name of avenging his husband, and Ling Cao was the leading general.

Although behind the high walls of Jiangxia City, Grandfather Huang and his sons looked down on Sun Ce very much, especially Huang She wanted to use this to gain fame, so he took the initiative to fight.

It's a pity that Huang She was no match for Ling Cao, but at this critical moment, Gan Ning led the charge and defeated Ling Cao with his own courage. As soon as Ling Cao died, his army collapsed. Huang She led the charge and won a big victory.

In fact, at this time, although Huang She was planning to take the credit for Gan Ning, he was also planning to win over Gan Ning.

It's a pity that Gan Ning is quite arrogant. Although he wants to make meritorious service, he doesn't want to bow his head to Huang She.

Huang She is the young master's temper, so he is very angry with Gan Ning, and finally all the thoughts of collude dissipate, but he backhandedly adds a charge of disobeying orders to Gan Ning.

This undoubtedly chilled Gan Ning's heart, and made Gan Ning's life in the army even more sad because of it.

Even Su Fei secretly felt in his heart at this time, whether it would be better to stay away from Gan Ning.

"Whoosh..."

Back at his residence, Gan Ning practiced martial arts for a while with a saber, until he was sweating profusely, and then stopped panting. This intense practice finally let out some of the boredom in his heart.

But at this moment, there was a sound outside the door.

"I don't know if Gan Ning and Gan Xingba are here?"
