Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 569 Water War, One Gan Ning Equals Nine Xiahoudun
Outside the city of Jiangling, the spring is beautiful, and there are many people outing along the river, covering the floor with felts, sitting on the ground in twos and threes, and some people are composing poems with the flowing water, the water is warm, and the warm wind is intoxicating.

only…

On the official road, black-clothed thieves suddenly appeared in the jungle, breaking the tranquility and tranquility here...

They wrapped a team of carriages, and the thieves pulled out their weapons from their waists, which were harpoons!

Under the sun, the edge of the harpoon was glowing with a sharp light, which looked so biting and cold.

The outing people were frightened and ran away in a hurry.

The people in the cavalry were also very nervous, and they all gathered together to defend themselves.

But Yang Xiu, who was in the middle of the cavalry, still looked calm and composed, as if... he wasn't intimidated by the blade at all.

"How dare you lie to me!"

The man in black at the head tore off the mask that was wrapped around him, and let go of the cheek that was trembling because of the angry muscles.

"The gambling house in Jiangling City was acquired more than a month ago. Come to think of it, this has nothing to do with you, kid!"

a growl...

The fork in the leader's left hand and the knife in his right hand were inserted into the soil in unison, and his eyes seemed to be eating people.

At this time, the cavalry team realized that the person who came...wasn't he the jingling Jinfan thief who lost in the casino just now—"Gan Ning Gan Xingba"?

Immediately, everyone felt a little heavy. Looking at Gan Xingba's expression, they knew that the visitor was not kind!

The guards looked at Yang Xiu tacitly.

It was Yang Xiu.

"Ah..." He stretched out his arms and yawned heavily, then he got off the carriage slowly and walked in front of Gan Ning.

Immediately, while everyone was stunned, a sentence was uttered.

"Hello? Gan Xingba!"

"Your name, my young master and I have admired it for a long time, but... the dragon of the 'Jinfan Bandit' can't see its head but its tail. In order to lure the general out of Jiangling City, I naturally have to use some special methods!"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand, and pointed to a pavilion by the river.

"Brother Gan, let's talk?"

call…

Gan Ning exhaled lightly.

The guy in front of him doesn't play his cards according to the routine.

Wait... He specially lured himself out?
What is his purpose?

Gan Ning's footsteps remained motionless, a little suspicion suddenly arose in his heart, he was afraid of what this kid in front of him would say!
"What?" Yang Xiu smiled slightly.

"General Gan dare not?"

"Afraid of you?" Gan Ning's eyes narrowed... Alone followed Yang Xiu to the Jiangting.

...

...

The jujube red pavilion tip, dark green pavilion pillars, and gray and white stone tables form a beautiful picture.

The green trees next to the river pavilion are shaded, the flowing water is gurgling, and the bees are singing and the butterflies are dancing, just like walking into a fairyland.

With a breeze blowing, Gan Ning showed his dagger as usual.

"Bang"... a sound.

The dagger sank into the stone table.

"If you don't explain it well, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this pavilion alive!"

Gan Ning's voice was very cold... There was a murderous look in his eyes.

Yang Xiu was extremely calm.

He just smiled, but didn't say a word.

"I don't have that much patience. If you don't speak again, if I cut you down, you may die!"

This is out of the way...

Yang Xiu raised his hand, Gan Ning thought he was going to show his weapon too, so he was on guard, but Yang Xiu just clapped his hands.

But at this moment, along with the sound of the river rushing, the sound of footsteps came from all around Jiangting.

Gan Ning shivered all over.

The first thing he thought was fraud, the ambush was about to come out, but even so, Gan Ning was not afraid, if there were still dozens of people who wanted to subdue him, it was impossible!

at this time.

"Brother Gan..."

"Boss, is it really you?"

"Boss Gan, I didn't believe it at first, you... it's really you!"

A series of excited and somewhat "sad" voices came from all around... Immediately afterwards, familiar faces appeared in front of Gan Ning's eyes.

His head was "buzzing" all of a sudden, and he was in a daze.

These…

There are dozens of people, hundreds of people...they...they are brothers who followed me as pirates!

Because of the government's siege and frequent wars, their water village was destroyed long ago, and these brothers lost contact one by one.

Who knows, where have they been all these years?

Can be…

Who would have thought that right now, they all appeared in front of his eyes one by one.

"You are...you are the second dog!"

Looking at the six-foot man in front of him, Gan Ning fell into memories for a moment. After Liu Yan died, Liu Zhang sent people to destroy his water village. Gan Ning rebelled, not wanting to be ambushed by the Shu army in the mountains.

then…

"Er Gou, back then...you stayed behind as the Empress! That's why the elder brother escaped. It's great, you're still alive...you're still alive!"

Gan Ning blurted out those words...

The man called Ergou hugged Gan Ning together.

"Boss Gan, you... you still remember me, remember me!"

At this time...

Another person opened his mouth and said, "Brother Gan? Do you remember me? When we were in Yiling, the officers and soldiers sent people to encircle and suppress me. I even blocked an arrow for Brother Gan. Are the scars still there?"

Talking... The man tore off his shirt, and the arrow wound came into view...

"Remember, you are a tiger! In any fight, you always rush ahead!" Gan Ning patted him on the shoulder, and he looked extraordinarily excited!
"Brother Gan, I'm a cow!" Another person opened his mouth and said, "At that time, our water village was besieged, and there was only the last noodle cake left. Brother Gan didn't eat it himself, but insisted on me...I was not willing to eat it. After arguing and fighting, I fell into the water, seeing the bread being eaten by fish, my heart was about to sink in the river at that time."

"Hahaha..." Gan Ning said with a smile, "Yeah, I was very distressed at that time too..."

A sentence came out of these people's mouths...

You say it, I say it, these people are all Gan Ning's former brothers, and they are all his long-lost brothers!
As the conversation became more and more involved, Gan Ning, who was always strong and strong, and who had always shed blood but not tears, was also moved at this moment, and he couldn't help himself.

"Huzi, Niuzi, Ergou... Heiwa, and you Linzi!"

"Brother, how have you missed you all these years! Where have you been all these years? Why...why didn't you come to me?"

"And...how did you gather in Jiangling City?"

Gan Ning hurriedly asked...

The big guys sighed for a while, as if, these years... They have all gone through untold hardships. After a short silence, everyone chatted about each other's situation.

narrow escape...

It can be said that these years... the brothers have all escaped death!
Only Yang Xiu, he was sitting in the Jiangting, "baji" his mouth, while patiently listening to the stories of these pirates.

Sure enough...

What Master Lu said is right, these pirate brothers of Gan Ning are all passionate youths, and they are all men who are committed to becoming "One Piece". This kind of friendship is touching!
Similarly, Yang Xiu also admired Master Lu...

For people like Gan Ning, pure money, fame and fortune cannot shake their minds at all, and they can only use the word "righteousness" as a breakthrough!
Master Lu is still Master Lu, with a unique vision and good at spying on people's hearts.

If it wasn't for his letterhead, how could Yang Xiu use the Jiangbei League to find this group of men who dreamed of becoming "One Piece" for a month and a half?
Now it seems...

Although it took a lot of effort, it was worth it!
at the same time…

The conversation between Gan Ning and these pirate brothers gradually led to the right track.

"Yes...it's Jiangbei League...Jiangbei League is looking for us all over Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiangdong...Central Plains...!"

"There is also a newspaper, just the newspaper that listed Liu Xuande's scandals. On the back of him is a small line of missing person notices... It is said... It is said that Brother Gan summoned us to conspire with big things!"

"No, here we come..."

"Also... also met Mr. Yang!"

Speaking of here…

The group of pirate brothers turned their heads to look at Yang Xiu, their eyes filled with gratitude. "We were originally slaves. Mr. Yang redeemed us...Mr. Yang gave us money, gave us food, and settled us in a small family in the north, so that our children can go to school, and our parents have food and clothing."

"Mr. Yang also said that there is a Mr. Lu in the north, who is a great kind man. He wants to build a farm for us in the north, so that our family can live there for generations, so that we will not be displaced."

Speaking of which...

The pirate brother who was speaking paused for a moment, and he looked at Gan Ning gratefully. "He also said... He also said that Boss Gan told him that he... did it!"

"Brothers... Brothers are all grateful for his kindness. No... I heard that Boss Gan summoned us, so we... all came."

call…

Hearing this, Gan Ning exhaled a long breath, he was a little surprised, a little overwhelmed, and a little overwhelmed.

On the contrary, it was Yang Xiu who took a long breath...

Obedient.

After listening for a long time, I finally got to the point.

I almost died in a hurry.

However, judging from the current situation, the result seems to be pretty good, and it is not in vain. Master Lu published the newspaper, used the Jiangbei League, and arranged a home for the hundred and ten people.

only…

What Yang Xiu suspected most was, this Gan Ning?Is it reliable?Is it worth Master Lu doing this?
"you…"

Gan Ning walked in front of Yang Xiu, the murderous look in his eyes was gone, replaced by confusion, bewilderment, maybe...a little gratitude.

People... all have weaknesses.

Just as Huang Zhong's weakness is his son, Zhao Yun's weakness is his "benevolence" to the people, Lu Bu's weakness is his glorious past and pride, Xun Yu's weakness is his kindness!
As for Gan Ning's weakness...

Just one word - "righteousness"!
To subdue Gan Ning, it doesn't matter how many officials you promise to give him, it doesn't matter how much money you give him, just a word of "righteousness"!

Whoever can help him take good care of his brother, and whoever can help him take good care of his brother's family, he will follow whoever!
——Heartless, no hesitation!

certainly…

According to the historical trajectory, this is how Sun Quan made Gan Ning loyal...

It's just that the current Yang Xiu...or more precisely, Lu Yu did it first!
The Wei navy is short of a commander who can be reused!

It is not an exaggeration to say that for Nanzheng, one Gan Ning is equal to nine Xiahou Duns, five Xiahou Yuans, and three Cao Rens!

"Cough cough..."

The atmosphere was almost ready, Yang Xiu coughed lightly. "Why don't you, Brother Gan, have a good get-together with the brothers first, so we don't panic here, we can chat anytime!"

"In Jiangling City, I have booked all the brothels and red houses. There is wine, meat, and women. Brother Gan might as well go and relax with the brothers."

"I... will withdraw first."

Yang Xiu spread his hands and signaled his subordinates to keep all the team's money, showing a utter generosity.

"tread…"

But Yang Xiu just took a step.

"Wait!" Gan Ning yelled to stop Yang Xiu. "It seems that Your Excellency is Mr. Yang?"

"Exactly!" Yang Xiu said truthfully.

"Haha!" Gan Ning put his arm on Yang Xiu's shoulder. "From now on, Mr. Yang will be my brother Gan Ning. If anyone wants to touch you, he must step on me!"

whoosh…

Gan Ning drew out the dagger and immediately slashed on Yang Xiu's thumb. Immediately, he licked the blood on the dagger with his tongue, then slashed his own finger and stretched it out in front of Yang Xiu.

Is this... an alliance made of blood?

Yang Xiu doesn't understand the rules of this group of pirates...

I just think it's disgusting, but... the atmosphere has already been heightened here, and it doesn't seem to be justified if I don't drink it.

Just took a sip, full of fishy smell!

at this time…

Yang Xiu felt that his body was pulled suddenly, and he was directly hooked up with Gan Ning.

"How can we go to brothels and red houses without Brother Yang?"

"Besides, Brother Yang, isn't he going to introduce this Mr. Lu to 'Brother Wei'?"

Uh…

Yang Xiu was taken aback.

Have they reached the point of calling each other brothers?

Is this really too fast?
...

...

Guanzhong, Hexi Corridor.

Beside a river, the water here is rather turbid. If you want to fetch water, you have to risk taking off your boots.

Zhang Xiu seemed extremely cautious. He took a few confidants and walked barefoot into the bone-piercing lake, sinking into the mud step by step, and then slowly moved forward, walking a few feet. Lift the bucket to scoop up water.

He is already very thirsty...

The entire barbarian team is very thirsty. The desolation of the Hexi Corridor is far beyond their perception.

Finally arrived at the center of the river, the water here seemed to be cleaner, Zhang Xiu squatted down, scooped it up with his hands and took a sip, immediately, a sense of clarity and refreshment swept his whole body.

After being satisfied, looking at the unkempt self in the reflection of the lake, I subconsciously wanted to wash my face, but thought that I couldn't wash my face because I was wearing a human skin mask!

But just as he bent down like this, suddenly, his body shook.

Beneath the knee-high lakebed, mixed with mud, there seemed to be something!
Like sand, but not like...

Zhang Xiu rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his arms, and grabbed another handful of mud from the bottom of the lake. It was visible to the naked eye that there was something the size of a grain of rice in the mud, which made Zhang Xiu's hands feel stiff for a while!
Subconsciously, Zhang Xiu wanted to scold her, but as the hard object slowly stretched out, an orange-yellow object the size of a grain of rice came into view!

This is...gold?
Sands?
Zhang Xiu's eyes were about to burst out, he was crazy, and began to search in the river... After a while, he found many, some were big, golden, and now... Zhang Xiu's pupils widened He didn't bother to carry the water anymore, and ran to the case like crazy.

"Princess...Princess!"

He is used to calling He Yan the princess!

"Hurry up, raise the smoke and call back everyone nearby. I found the golden sand. The golden sand is in the water. Then...follow the source of the water, and you will...you can find the golden vein!"

"Sure enough... Bai Mahou is right, this... at the foot of the Hexi Corridor, there are really golden veins all over!"

This is out of the way...

He Yan's pupils tightened, and when he saw the alluvial gold in Zhang Xiu's hand, suddenly... two lines of hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

--found it!

--Finally found!

——There really is a golden vein here!

Then... this Hexi Corridor is no longer a barren land, but... it is a Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall!
Countless gold diggers will flock here...

Countless Han people will gather, this place will be surrounded into a city, and there will be traces of Han civilization...Continuous gathering and spreading!

This... This is the real meaning, the complete conquest of foreign nations and this frontier land!
What they have taken is a greater road than "seal the wolf and live in Xu"!

...

...

In Jiangling City, in a brothel.

Gan Ning didn't drink, his eyes were narrowed, his expression was a bit shocked, he stared closely at Yang Xiu in front of him.

"You mean... that Mr. Lu is the commander of the Megatron Longxiao Battalion, the current imperial censor, Baimahou Lu Ziyu?"

A litany of titles…

Gan Ning did not miss a single word.

Speaking of which, even though he was a water thief, Gan Ning was still concerned about the changes in the current situation.

In these years, in the whole world, besides Cao Cao, the most famous person is the White Horse Marquis Lu Ziyu, and even, to a certain extent, Lu Yu is more famous than Cao Cao!

"That's right..." Yang Xiu took a sip of his wine. "It seems that brother Gan has also heard the name of my master. In my opinion, my master...has the ambition to run amok in the world, has the desire to expand the territory, has the ability to destroy the country and build the country, and has the love and respect. The righteousness of subordinates, the virtue of being loyal to the emperor and respecting the superior, the benevolence of loving the people like a son, and the talent of internal governance in foreign wars!"

"Historical opportunities lie in front of Brother Gan! Now the Great Wei has millions of troops, and a series of cavalry troops such as tiger and leopard cavalry are rampant across the northern border. First climbed the dead soldiers, Bingzhou wolf cavalry and many soldiers and horses, but the only one is that the water army of Longxiao battalion lacks a water army commander who can be reused! This is a rare opportunity in a hundred years. Brother Gan and your brothers are good at Water battle... the commander of the Longxiao Battalion Navy? Who else but you?"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu patted Gan Ning on the shoulder.

"Brother Gan, on the one hand, you are a pirate? Being wanted by the government, running around, and on the other hand, you are the leader of the Longxiao Battalion, who is so powerful in the world! How should I choose? I don't need to talk about it, right?"

"Besides, most of your brothers have family members. Could it be that they have always wanted to be the children of a pirate? They don't want their relatives to become regular soldiers and members of the Longxiao Battalion. In my opinion , as long as brother Gan enters the Long Xiao camp, who can give you such an unrivaled feat in the south water battle?"

"This feat, who is better than your brothers? At that time, you can tell your children that you are a member of the invincible Longxiao battalion navy. It is your outstanding feat to rule the world in the south! So... It's not in vain for me to wait for this man to go through this world!"

A sentence came out of Yang Xiu's mouth.

finally…

Gan Ning could no longer restrain the throbbing in his heart, he stood up abruptly.

"Ok, ok... ok..."

Three good words in a row.

Immediately, he slapped Yang Xiu's shoulder heavily.

——"My dear brother, I did it for my brother!"

As if, it's done!

And this time...

Because of Gan Ning's strength, Yang Xiu was directly pushed to the ground by him.

Yang Xiu kept complaining, is this big brother's hand made of steel?
...
