Chapter Seventy-Three: Dare for a While
A camp of water thieves.
The water gate of the camp was wide open, and the flagship entered with great might, and Gan Ning, who was stained with blood, stood on the bow of the ship with his hands in his hands, enjoying the cheers of the water thieves guarding the camp.
Behind him, in addition to his own dozen or so ships, there were also seven or eight fighting boats and more than a dozen ships captured from the officers and soldiers.
It was a big win.
When the battleship landed, Gan Ning jumped onto the trestle, and in the cheers of his subordinates, he returned to the big tent with his head held high.
There was not much excitement in his eyes, as if this victory, for him, was just commonplace, and there was nothing to be proud of.
In the big tent.
Huang Yueying was pacing, but there was a little excitement on her pretty face.
She was waiting for the outcome of the battle, and if the officers and troops were victorious, she had the hope of being rescued, and in her opinion, this hope was still great.
After all, Gan Ning is only about 700 people.
But soon, the cheers of the water thieves came from outside the tent, and the disappointment in Huang Yueying's eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The cheers of the water thieves meant that Gan Ning was victorious, and her hope of being rescued was naturally dashed.
She sat down on her knees again, put away the superfluous expression on her face, and only pretended to be indifferent, and tasted the wine in her glass.
The curtain was lifted, Gan Ning stepped into the tent, sat down again, and said, "Miss Huang, I just went to kill a few officers and soldiers, and after a moment's delay, let's continue to talk about "Spring and Autumn". ”
His words, his tone, as if he had just gone out and slipped around and gone to a thatched house, instead of going to a fierce life-and-death battle with the officials and soldiers.
"This Gan Xingba, he really has the talent of a general, if he can be used by Ziming, it will be of great help to his great cause, how can he be allowed to surrender to Ziming......"
When Huang Yueying was secretly thinking in her heart, Gan Ning had ordered someone to move a large number of books and Janes in front of her.
"In the right battle, Leader Gan won?" Huang Yueying asked while picking up the book.
Gan Ning glanced at her and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint Miss." ”
"I don't know who the leader is?" Huang Yueying asked again, a trace of worry quietly appeared on her face.
"Don't worry, it's not the Su Zhe you said, look at the flag, it should be Liu Biao's son who personally led the troops, but unfortunately, this kid is too unbeaten." Gan Ning's tone was dismissive.
Huang Yueying breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "No wonder, it turned out that Liu Qi led the troops, if Ziming led the troops, how could he be defeated......
Although her voice was small, Gan Ning's ears were pointy, and she heard it from a few steps away, and a pair of cold eyes suddenly flashed a trace of coldness.
"What, Miss Huang is right, if the Su Zhe you said led the troops, I would definitely lose to him?" Gan Ning's tone was full of arrogance.
Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "That's not necessarily, it's just that Su Ziming is very good at using soldiers, he once broke three thousand Yellow Turban thieves with three hundred soldiers and horses, and even foiled Lu Bu's pursuit on the way back to Jingzhou, so I realized that if he led the troops, even if Leader Gan wins, it may not be so easy to win." ”
"Lu Bu?"
Hearing Lu Bu's name, he was as confident as Gan Ning, and he couldn't help but have a trace of surprise in his eyes, and asked: "The Lu Bu you are talking about, but that Wenhou Lu Fengxian who is feared by the princes of the Eighteenth Road?" ”
"Apart from him, is there a second Lu Bu in this world?" Huang Yueying asked with a smile.
Gan Ning was silent, although the gray veil covered half of his face, but just by that look, Huang Yueying could still see that he was deeply shocked.
After all, no matter how conceited he was, he didn't dare not put Lu Bu in his eyes, but Su Zhe was the one who defeated Lu Bu, so he couldn't help but be afraid.
"This Jingxiang No. 1 talent, it seems that he is really an extraordinary character, I really want to meet him for a while......" Gan Ning muttered to himself, his eyes already showing a bit of appreciation.
At this moment, a water thief outside the tent hurriedly entered and presented a letter, claiming that it was a handwritten letter given to him by Su Zhe, the Taishou of Nanyang.
Hearing Su Zhe's name, Huang Yueying's delicate body couldn't help but shock slightly.
Gan Ning's expression also moved, he took the letter, opened it and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"I don't know what Su Ziming wrote to Leader Gan?" Huang Yueying asked.
"See for yourself." Ganning gave him the letter.
Huang Yueying suppressed her impatience, took the letter unhurriedly, lowered her eyebrows, and saw that it was Su Zhe's handwriting, and Su Zhe was actually in the letter, inviting Gan Ning to Jiangzhong for a meeting tomorrow.
Huang Yueying returned the letter to him and said, "This is indeed Su Ziming's handwriting, will Gan Tou understand to go and talk to him for a while?" ”
Gan Ning pondered for a moment, and snorted coldly: "I Gan Xingba is the master of this water, I am afraid that he will not succeed, since you said that this Su Zhe is so good, I also just go to see if he has three heads and six arms." ”
At that moment, Gan Ning ordered a reply to the messenger who sent the letter, asking him to go back and tell Su Zhe that tomorrow afternoon, Jiang Xin would not be gone.
"Ziming can invite this Gan Ning Jiangzhong for a while, which means that he has replaced Liu Qi and is commanding the army, but this Gan Ning is extremely powerful, I don't know how Ziming plans to deal with him......"
Huang Yueying looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter, and couldn't help but be secretly worried.
……
The next day, near noon.
Su Zhe boarded a boat as promised, and prepared to set off for Jiangxin and meet Gan Ning for a while.
The entourage was nothing more than a few pro-soldiers who were paddling, and Hu Che'er, a freak.
"Childe, that Gan Ning is very good at water warfare, so Childe will rush forward with such a few people, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Zhou Cang reminded.
Su Zhe smiled: "Don't worry, I expect that Gan Ning is also a man, and the appointment is just a meeting, so he shouldn't do any despicable means." ”
"However, it is necessary to guard against people, just in case." Zhou Cang is still worried.
Su Zhe glanced at Hu Che'er, pointed to a pile of big stones on the boat, and said with a mysterious smile: "Son, I am most afraid of death, how can I be defenseless, there is a car and this pile of stones, I am sure that Gan Ning will not dare to do anything." ”
Zhou Cang was stunned, and thought that Hu Che'er was not good at water warfare, what could he do to help if he went, and what about the pile of broken stones, at least bring more bows and crossbows......
When Zhou Cang was still suspicious, Su Zhe had already given an order, went out of the water camp, and went straight to the heart of the river.
On the beach, looking at the departing Su Zhe, Yi couldn't help but worry: "That Gan Ning is just a water thief after all, if he has evil thoughts at that time, won't this Su Zhe be sent to death by himself." ”
The corners of Liu Qi's mouth raised, and he said coldly: "If this is the case, it is all his own fault, and when the time comes, this son can only take his soldiers and horses for himself, and it can be regarded as making up for the capital that this son has put on him." ”
Yi shook his head and sighed.
At the same time, the water gate of the thief camp on the other side was also opened, and a boat also used to go out of the shore and head towards the center of the river.
Gan Ning stood on the bow of the boat, staring into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a big flag with the word "Su" hanging on it, which was facing him.
"This Su Zhe really dared to meet me on a single boat, and he was really a little bold." There was a bit of appreciation in Gan Ning's eyes, but he suddenly had a cold look of irony, "It's a pity, but after all, he is just a scholar, and he will only act rashly." ”
With a wave of his hand, he said in a deep voice to the left and right: "Later, when you see me draw my sword, you will speed up and rush over, I will capture this bullshit Wolong alive!" ”
