Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

The city gate.

Gan Ning waited here for a long time, but never received a reply.

Gan Ning felt extremely disappointed.

In his opinion.

Liu Bei must have taken advantage of this time to investigate himself.

I found out that I used to be a pirate.

Then you are unwilling to accept yourself.

……

In fact.

Before choosing to join Liu Bei.

Gan Ning had thought about this problem before.

He was also worried that Liu Bei would be unwilling to accept him because of his past.

But Gan Ning still wanted to give it a try.

After all, my strength is here!

With his ability in the navy.

The entire Yangtze River basin.

Only Zhou Yu, a subordinate of Sun Quan in Jiangdong, could compete with him.

Therefore, Gan Ning was very confident that Liu Bei would accept him!

But what disappointed Gan Ning was.

I have been waiting here for so long.

There was no movement from Liu Bei.

Gan Ning couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought that Liu Bei didn't want him, he couldn't go to Sun Quan, and that following Huang Zu would lead to death sooner or later!

"Could it be that I really have to go north to join Cao Mengde?" Gan Ning thought to himself.

Think of this.

Gan Ning couldn't help but feel pain in his liver.

Although according to Cao Cao's principles of employing people.

He surrendered to Cao Cao.

He will definitely be accepted by Cao Cao.

But family members know their own business.

Gan Ning knew that his abilities could only be fully utilized on the water.

If you go to the north.

Of course, he would be taken in by Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao had many talented people under his command.

My skills on land are just so-so.

Even if he surrendered to Cao Cao, he would not be valued by Cao Cao.

"But in the current situation, surrendering to Cao Cao is the only option!"

Thinking of this, Gan Ning became more and more angry.

"You are so short-sighted, Liu Xuande. I don't think you will achieve anything great!"

Gan Ning shouted towards the city gate.

After saying this.

Gan Ning turned his horse around.

Get ready to head north!

……

"Tap..."

Suddenly, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded behind Gan Ning.

Gan Ning only felt flames rising into the sky behind him.

Gan Ning was instinctively shocked.

next moment.

Gan Ning found himself surrounded by a group of cavalry.

These cavalrymen are very majestic.

Everyone was wearing armor and riding a tall horse.

They held torches in their left hands and reins in their right hands.

They surrounded Gan Ning quietly, without moving a single muscle.

The leader was nine feet tall, with a face like a red date and a beard two feet long. He held a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand.

Gan Ning knew that this person was Guan Yu, Liu Bei's sworn brother.

"Could it be that Liu Xuande wants to kill me?"

Seeing that Guan Yu "came with ill intentions", Gan Ning couldn't help but feel shocked.

Just when Gan Ning was in great confusion.

A kind voice sounded behind Gan Ning.

"Are you Gan Ning Gan Xingba?"

Gan Ning looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a middle-aged man with ears hanging down to his shoulders and hands below his knees, who was looking at me with a friendly face.

behind him.

A tall, handsome young man.

While waving the feather fan, he looked at himself.

Behind this young man.

Three more majestic figures stood there.

Just by looking at their appearance, you can tell that these two are not easy to mess with.

"Gudong..."

Gan Ning instinctively swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, then looked at the middle-aged man with forced composure and said:

"You, you are Liu Xuande?"

"I am Liu Bei!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

Without waiting for Gan Ning to speak, Liu Bei continued:

"I've known the names of Gan Ning and Gan Xingba since I was in Xinye, but unfortunately I've never had the chance to meet them. I just heard from my soldiers that General Gan is visiting, and I wanted to go out and greet him in person!"

"But thinking that General Gan has come all this way, if I come barefoot to greet him personally, and others find out, they'll probably laugh at me for acting. Besides, I also feel that doing so would be disrespectful to the general!"

"Therefore, I have specially invited all the generals in our army to come and welcome the general together!"

While talking.

Liu Bei introduced Guan Yu, Wei Yan, Wen Pin and Zhou Cang to Gan Ning in turn.

Every time Liu Bei introduced someone.

The man clasped his fists and saluted Gan Ning.

His words were full of respect for Gan Ning.

After feeling everyone's kindness.

Gan Ning was deeply moved.

Just as Gan Ning was about to surrender to Liu Bei.

But Liu Bei took the lead and bowed and said:

"General Gan, I know your abilities and your exceptional water skills. It just so happens that Jingzhou is facing a rebellion led by Cai Mao. The Grand Admiral Cai Mao and the Deputy Admiral Zhang Yun have unfortunately died. Now the Jingzhou navy is leaderless. I would like to invite you to serve as the Grand Admiral of our Jingzhou navy. I hope you will not refuse!"

After saying this, Liu Bei bent even lower.

He saw that Liu Bei clearly saw his intention.

But he still pretended that he needed him.

It can be said that he gave himself enough face.

Moreover, he entrusted me, a person he had just met for the first time, with the important task of being the commander-in-chief of the navy of Jingzhou!

In an instant, Gan Ning's eyes became moist.

"I, I, I... Lord!!!"

Thousands of words finally turned into the word "Lord".

Obviously, Gan Ning has been impressed by Liu Bei's personal charm!

"Okay, okay, I'll be the king, like a tiger with wings!"

Liu Bei laughed.

After Liu Bei finished speaking.

Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others also came up one after another to congratulate Liu Bei and Gan Ning.

And Liu Bei was not polite either.

Directly pull Gan Ning's right hand.

that's it.

The two walked all the way to the governor's mansion.

A banquet was then held.

Everyone drank happily.

The atmosphere at the table was lively.

Feel the sincerity of Liu Bei and others.

Gan Ning was also very happy at this time.

Since he became famous.

What I encountered and saw.

It's all intrigue and deception.

Now I see that Liu Bei and others treat me with sincerity.

For the first time, Gan Ning felt a sense of belonging.

"My lord, I have something to tell you!"

After Gan Ning finished a glass of wine, he walked straight to Liu Bei and said seriously.

While talking.

Gan Ning told Liu Bei about Huang Zu's plan to use rebellion as an excuse to demand more money and food from Jingzhou.

After hearing Gan Ning's words.

Liu Bei was overjoyed.

Then he quickly turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang.

In Gan Ning's sight.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said calmly:

"My lord, this is an opportunity given to us by God, we must seize it!"

"Hasn't Huang Zu been demanding money and food from Xiangyang on the pretext that Jiangxia County is plagued by bandits?"

"In that case, tomorrow we can have General Guan lead 10,000 cavalrymen to Jiangxia County to suppress the bandits. Once Zhang Wu and his men are eliminated, the army will return to Xiangyang!"

Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to tell his own plan.

I was surprised to see that Zhuge Liang came up with such a plan.

Moreover, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others were nodding their heads frequently.

Gan Ning felt overwhelmed.

Just as Gan Ning was about to persuade Liu Bei, "Huang Zu is already a frightened bird. If you send another 10,000 troops to Jiangxia at this time, Huang Zu will definitely rebel!"

suddenly.

Gan Ning's gaze.

He met Zhuge Liang's gaze.

Looking at Zhuge Liang's deep and unfathomable eyes.

And the faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Gan Ning just felt his head buzzing.

next moment.

Gan Ning suddenly woke up.

Looking at Zhuge Liang in front of him.

Gan Ning finally understood Zhuge Liang's true intentions.

That is, what Zhuge Liang was afraid of was not Huang Zu's rebellion, but Huang Zu's non-rebellion!
