Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 164 Recruiting Gan Ning (2)

"So it's Brother Xingba! I heard about it!" Li Song arched his hands to Gan Ning who was lying on the bed. He originally wanted to say that he had known his name for a long time, but for some reason, he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to say so, so he changed his words to slightly heard.

"I don't know how to address you?" Gan Ning asked.

"I'm sorry! I'm rude!" Li Song heard Gan Ning's question and realized how rude he hadn't introduced himself yet. He apologized and bowed to Gan Ning, "I'm from Longxi County, Xialiangzhou. Li Mingsong, whose name is Yuanbai!"

"It turned out to be the Prime Minister! Gan Ning has admired the name of the Prime Minister for a long time!" Gan Ning complimented, the feat of being able to do it at such a young age, giving power to the court and holding the emperor to command the princes, no matter what the reason is, it is worthy of Gan Ning's way A word of admiration.

Gan Ning knew in his heart that Li Song definitely didn't just pass by by chance, so he rescued him, and there was another purpose in saving him, but what did he make Li Song miss?He didn't know that what Li Song valued was his navy skills, his ability to lead the navy in water warfare.

"Xingba, why have you been besieged by Liu Xun's army since you have been on the Yangtze River for so long?" Li Song was always puzzled by the fact that Gan Ning was surrounded by Liu Xun's army, so he asked.

"I'm tired of being a water bandit. I planned to take my brothers to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao and find a decent job, but I was tricked by Liu Xun, so I got into such a disaster. Pity my brothers We." As soon as Gan Ning mentioned Liu Xun, his eyes danced with hatred.

Gan Ning has been striding across the Yangtze River for many years, and one day he suddenly felt that going on like this was not a long-term solution!So he planned to join the princes, make meritorious deeds, and shelter his descendants. After studying some books at home, Gan Ning decided to set off to attach himself to Liu Biao, one of the famous "Eight Talents" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Who knows that he was deceived by that despicable villain Liu Xun, making Gan Ning almost return to Jiuquan!Fortunately, Gan Ning still kept [-] brothers in his old lair, so that his entire army would not be wiped out and he would become a bare-bones commander.

For a while, Li Song didn't think about how to recruit Gan Ning to work for him. The two had their own thoughts and chatted with each other.

"Xingba, you are still injured! You need to recuperate! I won't disturb your rest! If you need anything, just say, someone will take care of it for you! I still have work to do, so I will leave!" Li Song stood up farewell!
After chatting for so long, Gan Ning really couldn't bear it any longer. His eyelids started to fight. Seeing Li Song get up to say goodbye, Gan Ning said, "Okay! Prime Minister, go slowly! I'm sorry for my injury, so I can't see you off." !"

After Li Song bowed his hands to Gan Ning, he left here. Before he left, he told the servants who were serving Gan Ning to take care of Gan Ning carefully and not make any mistakes.

After a period of recuperation, Gan Ning's injury has healed. After a period of thinking, Li Song finally decided to recruit Gan Ning in the most direct way, that is, to directly state his purpose. Come on, it can also give people a sense of openness.

"Xingba, you actually want to make contributions! Why don't you work for me, I will not treat you badly!" Li Song said.

Li Song is [-]% sure that Gan Ning can work for him. First, he saved Gan Ning. Gan Ning will agree to his recruitment out of the attitude of repaying his gratitude. Second, Gan Ning needs strength to support his dead brother. revenge!Right now, Li Song is the best candidate. Thirdly, these days, Li Song is very considerate to Gan Ning. When Gan Ning was still a water thief, as long as the people he interacted with, Gan Ning would be courteous. Go through fire and water for them.

A scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman is for a pleasing self!

"Prime Minister! My brothers' revenge has not been avenged yet! I have no plans to seek refuge with anyone yet!" Gan Ning said.

After Li Song heard this, he wasn't upset. He couldn't make people follow you wholeheartedly and work hard for you with just one word. Gan Ning's reaction was within Li Song's expectation.

"Xingba! I understand your desire for revenge. With Liu Xun's strength, let me put it bluntly. With your current strength, you can't take revenge at all."

"As long as Xingba can work for me, I can help you avenge this, and I can give you this strength!" Li Song said.

Gan Ning wanted to join Li Song at this moment. After all, Li Song was one of the strongest among several vassals, and his reputation was not bad. Taking refuge in him could also avenge the death of his brother!But none of that is the point.

The king chooses the minister, and the minister naturally also chooses the king!Gan Ning asked: "The world is so big! Capable people come forth in large numbers! Why did the prime minister choose me, or in other words, what is it worth for the prime minister to do this?"

"To be honest! What I value is your Xingba's ability. I want to build a navy. It's not difficult to build a navy. What's difficult is Xiang Xingba, who commands a navy like you. Thousands of troops are easy to get. A general is hard to find!"

"Of course, there is another thing, Xingba, your temper is exactly what I like, which is one of the reasons why I want to recruit you." Li Song said, during this period of getting along, the two have a preliminary understanding of each other. In Gan Ning's eyes, Li Song is an easy-going madman.

In Li Song's view, Gan Ning is a man who is loyal but not greedy for money, a bold man who is worth dating.

"Okay, that's how it turned out! I will work under the prime minister's command!" Gan Ning thought for a while, and finally decided to join Li Song. It's not too late to choose another enlightened master, first repay him for saving his life.

Li Song was overjoyed when he heard that, he stepped forward and grabbed Gan Ning's hand, saying, "My current Xingba is such a powerful general, why worry about the world being injustice! Flattening Jiangdong is like walking on flat ground!"

"Gan Ning listen!" Li Song said solemnly, Gan Ning hastily cupped his fists and saluted, waiting for Li Song's order. "On behalf of the imperial court, I confer on Gan Ning as the general of the Shenlong Navy, building ships! Command the Shenlong Navy, and take full responsibility for all affairs of the navy. No one is allowed to interfere, including me."

"Thank you Prime Minister Gan Ning!" Gan Ning said, he never expected that Li Song would treat him so kindly, but he knew that he was fully responsible for all affairs of the navy, how much he valued him!

Gan Ning believes that no matter who he takes refuge in!No one will treat him like this more than Li Song, trust him, and make him a general as soon as he comes. As the saying goes, a soldier dies for a confidant, and a woman is for a pleasing one!That's not what I said.

"The prime minister treats me like this, how can there be no reason not to die!" Gan Ning bowed down.

Li Song hurriedly helped Gan Ning up and said: "As long as Xingba does not fail me in the future, I will definitely live up to Xingba! In the matter of the navy, there will be Lao Xingba! In the future, the hegemony will be achieved! It is no problem to be named a marquis and a prime minister .”

"Gan Ning will live up to the Lord's trust!" Gan Ning cupped his hands.

From then on, Gan Ning served under Li Song's command, commanded the navy, and fought for Li Song.
