Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 54 Coincidence
"Master Gan Da..."

"kindness?"

"Uh... General Gan, a fleet was spotted ahead."

On the Yangtze River, I saw a scout from the water village in the past. People in small boats came to Gan Ning to report something. Gan Ning glared at him because he took the call smoothly.

"Fleet? Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to have any ideas about the fleet in the future?" Gan Ning said displeased.

"No, no, General Gan misunderstood. It was a small discovery. The fleet was not a caravan, it seemed...an army! Looking at the draft of the ships and the size of the fleet, there were about 5000 to [-] people." The scout said.

"Four to five thousand troops? Do you have a flag? Which way are they going?" Gan Ning asked quickly.

"The sky was too dark, so I couldn't see it clearly, but there must be no obvious flags. It's heading north!" the scout said.

"Bei...so fast?" Gan Ning asked in surprise.

They had also heard before that Zhang Xun, under Yuan Shu's command, led troops to "annihilate" Bai Tu.

For this reason, many of the heads of other water villages were upset, and some even wanted to regret it. As a result, Gan Ning purged them again - so they came back nearly half a month later than planned.

But even though Gan Ning had confidence in Bai Tu, he never expected that Zhang Xun would be beaten so quickly that he would rush north in a hurry!

Apart from this, Gan Ning could not think of other possibilities. After all, Bai Tu only had three counties and an unstable foothold. It was impossible to train so many soldiers and take the initiative to attack north...

There is only one possibility - Zhang Xun's defeat!

"I originally wanted to take advantage of this critical moment to provide help in the snow... Bah, Yuan Shu's idiot!" Gan Ning muttered, and then said to the scout: "Immediately call all the leaders, come to my ship within half an hour, and say that I am willing Xingba has something important to say!”

"Yes, I am here to inform you 'generals'!" The scout also emphasized that he is a "general" and not a "master".

Gan Ning, who had just made a slip of the tongue, was so angry that he almost capsized his boat. The scouts quickly rowed the sampan to retreat...

Not long after, I saw "camp captains" wearing battle armor, passing by small boats one after another, jumping over.

But there were two others who flew over directly...

One is a black armor, with thick arms, as if there are two arm shields, dark skin, and facial features, as if they were cut out by knives and axes, with a slight beard.

The other one is wearing a gray battle armor. At first glance, it looks similar to the basic wood and stone battle armor. However, if you look closely, you can see that he has all the gilded battle armors!

Even the low-key helmet on the head seems to be in the shape of a bamboo hat, and the young-looking face also looks a bit dull...

"Xingba, why are you so anxious to find us?" the black-armored general asked, and another gray-armored general, who seemed dull and low-key, also looked over.

"Hahaha, Brother Youping, Brother Gongyi... don't be anxious, wait until everyone is here! Of course it's a great thing, it seems we can have a big fight before surrendering to my lord!" Gan Ning said .

Those called "Youping" and "Gongyi" are none other than Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the leaders of the other two groups of big water thieves in the Yangtze River.

Today, on the Yangtze River, the "Jinfan Thief" is the leader, but similar to them, there are also two other groups of water thieves, namely the "Common Thief" Jiang Qin and the "Fen Yong Thief" Zhou Tai.

Gan Ning's Jinfan Thief is known as the strongest among the Yangtze River water thieves. He himself is also the most brave in the Yangtze River. However, due to his personality, it was the commoner thief Jiang who was the most popular in the past and was convinced by all the leaders of the water villages. Qin.

Zhou Tai, on the other hand, was known for fighting without his life, and his men were all desperadoes. He had the smallest number among the three thieves, but he would not dare to provoke anyone.

With Gan Ning's dog-faced temper, he had had conflicts with Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai before, especially with Zhou Tai. The two had also fought to the death. However, after Jiang Qin made peace, the two of them were not at odds. Don't know each other.

This time Gan Ning was on the Yangtze River and persuaded various water villages to join. In fact, the most important thing was to persuade Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and everyone else was "persuading (physics)".

"Ha, to be so loyal and loyal to Xingba, I think Bai Gong must be outstanding, and Qin is also looking forward to it." Jiang Qin said honestly.

"Not bad, not bad." Gan Ning tried his best to keep his expression unchanged so as not to let them know that he was persuaded by Shu Jin.

Soon the former heads and current uncles of the other seven or eight water villages had arrived.

"I've called you all here this time because I have a 'big deal'. As long as it's done... you'll be able to show your face first when you join the lord's army in the future!" Gan Ning said.

"Huh? Xingba, didn't you say... Bai Gong has repeatedly issued orders not to do business without capital?" Jiang Qin asked doubtfully.

"Hahaha, Brother Gongyi doesn't know something. The big business I'm talking about is naturally not with the caravan, but with the army! Not far away, there is a Huainan army of 4000 people who collapsed. They must have been defeated by the lord. , are rushing north in a hurry, we just have to cut them off on the river..."

This is the section of the river where the water flow is relatively slow. In Gan Ning's opinion... it's simply a feat that fell from the sky!

After listening to Gan Ning's words, not to mention Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, several other uncles also changed their expressions at this time.

"General Gan...are you saying that my lord has defeated Yuan Shu of Huainan?" a uncle asked nervously.

"Although Yuan Shu is not very capable, he is good at cultivation and has been a low-income earner in Huainan for so long, so he is not easily defeated. However, someone has said before that with the abilities of my lord... and General Lu, it is just a matter of time." Xun, you can break it with a snap of your fingers!" Gan Ning said.

That uncle obviously seemed to retort, "You didn't say that in the evening!"
Before, Gan Ning wanted to take them to help Qu'a and provide help in times of need. However, several leaders regretted this and did not dare to confront the powerful Yuan Shu. They even wanted to join Yuan Shu instead... but naturally they had already made Yangtze River fish food. .

"What? Then what other possibilities do you think there are? Could it be that Zhang Xun won a great victory and sent thousands of messengers back to report the good news?" Gan Ning asked disdainfully.

"Okay! I think Brother Xingba is right this time, not to mention that there are only capital-free transactions in the world, and there is no risk-free transaction!" Zhou Tai spoke up at this time.

Gan Ning glanced at him and wanted to say - Don't pretend to be a big man just because you are old, you are obviously one year younger than me!
Seeing that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin also agreed, other uncles were either forced or wanted to give it a try and agreed to Gan Ning's plan. At this time, less than half an hour had passed since Gan Ning got the news.

Not long after, Zhang Xun was woken up by his men in the boat, which made him even more exhausted after having had a nightmare for half a night!
"Are you seeking death? What do you call it?" Zhang Xun asked angrily to the ordering soldier.

"General, no, it's not good! It's Yangtze River water thieves..."

It's okay if I don't say this, but when I mention it, Zhang Xun becomes even more angry - I am a famous Huainan general, and I am actually reduced to being robbed by water thieves?
