Gan Ning looked dazed and muttered, "Do we have this rule in this industry?" How I don't know. ”

Liu Xin touched his head, and it turned out that he was ahead again, so he said curtly: "Okay, whether there is this rule or not, you want to go home empty-handed like this?" ”

Gan Ning was quite surprised and asked, "My lord, won't you kill me?" ”

Liu Xin smiled: "Why should I kill you, let's say, what do you want to bring back?" ”

Gan Ning smiled miserably and said, "It's a blessing to be able to save my surname, how dare I get Long Wangshu." ”

Liu Xin suddenly patted Gan Ning's shoulder and said, "Yes, I still know how to advance and retreat." Will you help me do things and bring an official position home? ”

Gan Ning said disapprerovingly: "You dignitaries, what else can you do besides oppressing the people? What's the difference with us bandits? ”

Liu Xin shook his head and said, "Gan Ning, you are still young, and there are many things you still don't understand. It is precisely because these people oppress the people that it is all the more necessary for people with righteousness to hold official positions and speak for the people. If you are willing, go to Changsha with me first, if you are not willing, you can go, I will give you a bag of gold and silver, and you will not be left empty-handed. ”

Gan Ning stood for a long time, he didn't quite understand what Liu Xin said, but it could be seen that Liu Xin had no ill will towards him, his heart was at war with heaven and man, and it was difficult to choose where to go.

Liu Xin didn't say anything more, just quietly waited for his decision. He knew that in history, Gan Ning did not wake up until he was in his twenties, washed his hands and went ashore, studied hard, and later became a member of the Sun Wu group. Liu Xin didn't expect Gan Ning to agree to work for him at this time, but if he couldn't use it for himself, he couldn't do it. If Gan Ning refuses to take refuge in himself, Liu Xinzhen will let him go and give him a bag of gold and silver, at least it is a friendship.

Suddenly I heard a "plop" sound. Gan Ning turned over and knelt down towards Liu Xin, bowed to the ground, and said: "Thank you for the grace of the lord not to kill, Gan Ning will go to the soup for the lord from now on, and he will never give up!" ”

Liu Xin was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to help Gan Ning up, and said, "Okay, Liu has your help, and he will be worry-free from now on!" ”

His words came from the bottom of his heart, although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are proficient in water warfare, but they have no ability to lead the army, and the rest of the generals are all working hard immediately, and now with Gan Ning's investment, a powerful naval army will definitely be built.

Gan Ning stood up and said, "Dare to ask the lord, what should I do with my brothers?" ”

Liu Xin said without thinking: "Since these people are your brothers, let you deal with them." If they are willing to join the army, they should be your own soldiers, and if they are not willing to join the army, divide some money with them, and let them go home, buy a piece of land to live in peace, and do not come out to be thieves again. ”

Gan Ning said with a grateful face: "Thank you, lord!" "Most of those water cowards are willing to follow Gan Ning to join the army.

After a delay here, the team was back on the road. Gan Ning led his three clippers to open the way, they were more familiar with this waterway than the officers and men of the navy, where there were dangerous shoals, where there were reefs, they were all clear, and they were much faster than before, and by the afternoon of the next day, they had come to the Changsha section of the Xiangjiang River.

The fleet was moored on the riverbank, Liu Xin left some soldiers to guard the boats, and the rest abandoned the boats and landed. There were also sedan horses on the ship, and the families of Tian Feng and Huang Zhong and Father Xu all got into the carriage, and used some carts to load gifts for rewarding the three armies, and the group headed for Changsha City.

Gan Ning was only a fifteen-year-old boy, although Liu Xin had not yet officially appointed him to an official position, but he knew from Liu Xin's words that he would definitely be reused, and he couldn't help but be very excited, took the horse brought by the soldiers, picked up the big knife, turned over, and rushed to the front.

I have already seen Changsha City, Gan Ning is still dressed as before, the horse is galloping, the wind is blowing strongly, and the bell on his body makes a crisp sound, which is far away.

In the hall of the Changsha County Government, Tian Feng, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong sat opposite each other, chatting about family life. Recently, Changsha has gradually returned to normal in all aspects, and they have gradually become idle. Approaching the Spring Festival, they came to Changsha alone, and their home was still in Xiangyang, and they couldn't help but miss their families a little. At this time, a soldier came to report that a trace of the Jinfan thief was found outside the city.

The name of the Jinfan thief is also very loud in this area of Changsha, just now Gan Ning was excited, broke away from the brigade, and rushed to the front. Hearing the sound of his bell, the people who were busy entering and leaving the city gate knew him, and they couldn't help shouting, and there was chaos at the city gate. Some time ago, there were often bandits attacking and harassing, Tian Feng and they had long been accustomed to it, Huang Zhong immediately led people to the city, Xu Chu ordered five hundred elite soldiers to rush out of the city gate, Tian Feng was in the middle of the dispatch without the slightest panic.

Gan Ning saw that the people were in a mess, and he didn't know why, so he restrained the war horse on the spot and hesitated.

But he saw a group of people rushing out of the city gate, and the first general, with a black face and beard, holding a bright big knife in his hand, shouted loudly: "Where is the Jinfan thief?" Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid, come and come, and fight with me for 300 rounds! ”

Gan Ning was furious, urged his crotch to get off the horse, and stepped forward with a knife and shouted: "I don't know what is dead or alive, eat your grandfather Gan's knife." ”

The two horses intersected, and the two fought in one place. Xu Chu slashed down with a knife on the head, Gan Ning raised his knife to greet him, only to hear the sound of "choking", which shocked his arms numb, and secretly said in his heart, this black guy has a lot of strength!

Gan Ning and Xu Chu fought for more than 20 rounds, and Liu Xin's brigade had already caught up, Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Two of you, slow down!" ”

Xu Chu saw Zhao Yun at a glance, opened Gan Ning's knife, and said in surprise: "Seventh brother, why are you here?" Help me take down this Sail Thief! ”

Gan Ning is now conscientious, and he is most annoyed by others calling himself a thief, and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense about, who is the Jinfan thief?" I am now a general under the Governor of the Prefecture. ”

Zhao Yun had already come to the front at this time and said, "Sixth brother, you misunderstood, this General Gan Ning has already joined the eldest brother." ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he laughed and said: "It's really a family who doesn't know a family, General Gan is good at kung fu." ”

How could Gan Ning not know his identity yet, so he stopped and said, "Hahaha, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, the general has a lot of strength." ”

The three of them laughed in unison. At this time, Liu Xin's team also came to them. When Father Xu saw his son in the car, he couldn't help but burst into tears, opened the curtain and shouted, "Zhongkang! ”

When Xu Chu saw it, he hurriedly threw away the knife in his hand, rolled the saddle and dismounted, came to the car and said with tears: "Dad, why are you here!" ”

Liu Xin had been staying in the middle of the team, and at this time he also stepped forward and said, "Sixth brother, I specially sent my uncle here to have a reunion with you." ”

Xu Chu saw Liu Xin at this time, and said excitedly: "Big brother, you are here too!" ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "It's the New Year, come and see you, what about Yuan Hao and Hansheng?" ”

Xu Chu hurriedly said: "I heard just now that the Jinfan thieves are coming, and they are dispatching troops in the city, so I will go and call them." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "No need, let's go into the city together!" ”

When Tian Feng and Huang Zhong learned that Liu Xin personally escorted their family to Changsha, they were moved to tears and were speechless for a while. After a long time, Huang Zhong pulled his son Huang Xu in front of Liu Xin and said, "Xu'er, come and thank the lord for saving his life!" ”

Huang Xu really kowtowed respectfully to Liu Xin three times, but Liu Xin didn't stop him. At the beginning of the year, Huang Xu had been sentenced to death by several doctors in the city, if Liu Xin hadn't happened to come to the door and brought him to ask Zhang Ji for treatment, he would have been dead now. It's just that it didn't take long for Huang Zhong to be secretly sent to Changsha, and he never had the opportunity to bring his son to thank Liu Xin in person.

Liu Xin pulled Huang Xu up and said to Huang Zhong and Tian Feng: "Today, your families are reunited, everyone is happy, don't stick to the subtleties." Xu'er is good, I heard Mr. Cai say that he has worked very hard in the academy, and he will definitely be a material that can be made in the future! ”

After Tian Feng and the others' families settled down, and everyone sat down in the hall again, Liu Xin pointed to Gan Ning and said, "Come, I'll help you introduce a newcomer again, this is the famous Jinfan thief Gan Ning!" ”

Gan Ning pouted unhappily and said, "Lord, I'm no longer a thief." ”

Everyone laughed. Liu Xin knew that Liu Biao and Huang Zu looked down on Gan Ning because he was a thief in history, which caused Gan Ning to switch to Soochow, so he hurriedly made a round, patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said: "Yes, I said it wrong, you are now our general in Jingzhou!" I will now formally appoint you as the deputy lieutenant of the Jingzhou Navy Army, with full responsibility for the formation and training of the Changsha Navy Army. ”

Changsha did not have a navy, Liu Xin said that he wanted Gan Ning to form a Changsha navy, but it happened suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Liu Xin explained: "Now that the Jingzhou Navy is stationed in Jiangxia, it is very inconvenient, and I have long thought about establishing another navy. Changsha is isolated in the south of the Yangtze River, and its connection with Xiangyang is all dependent on waterways, so it needs a strong naval army, and General Gan lives on the river all the year round, and is the best candidate to form a Changsha naval army. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, you can think about it first, and then start to prepare for the construction after the first month, and you can calculate the required funds and allocate the full amount from Xiangyang. ”

Tian Feng was most worried about the fact that it would cost a lot to form a naval army, and Changsha had a small population, so it was difficult to afford it, but he didn't expect Liu Xin to have already considered these things, so he couldn't help nodding secretly.

Gan Ning stood up with a "brush", arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the love of the lord, the last general will definitely live up to his mission." ”

Xu Chu said with a smile: "General Gan's martial arts are extraordinary, and it is more than enough to be a deputy lieutenant of the navy." ”

Gan Ninghan said with a smile: "Compared to you and General Zhao, my martial arts may not last more than two hundred rounds, but I didn't expect that the lord's subordinates are really talented." ”

Zhao Yun also said: "General Gan doesn't have to be humble, your martial arts are not much different from my second brother and fourth brother, and there is not much difference between us, and we will have a good exchange when we have time in the future." ”

Gan Ning was secretly surprised when he heard this, it seemed that the martial arts he was proud of were ranked relatively low under Liu Xin, he was just about to speak, but he heard Wen Ping say: "Everyone here wants to talk about martial arts, or Han Sheng is the highest, and he will be the last in the bottom." ”

Huang Zhong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "General Zhongye is both civil and military, but he is not good at martial arts, there is nothing to compare. If you talk about martial arts alone, the most unfathomable is naturally the lord, and Huang is willing to bow down. ”
