Sitting on the boat and watching the surging river water flowing eastward, Qin Tian always felt some inexplicable emotions in his heart.
This time when he went to Chang'an, Qin Tian did not bring any escorts. He, Xu Rong, Guan Hai, and Huang Gai were the only ones with a small boat, plus Ling Cao who insisted on seeing him off.
On the mighty Yangtze River, it is not too eye-catching.
Before leaving, Qin Tian went to Dongting Lake to see Gan Ning. He had occupied Kuaiji. After Danyang, Qin Tian personally went to Dongting Lake and asked Gan Ning to come out, but Gan Ning refused.
This time, Qin Tian was not disappointed. It was not that he did not want to recruit Gan Ning. On the contrary, for this naval admiral of Soochow in history, describing Qin Tian as eager to see through him was definitely not an exaggeration at all.
But Qin Tian probably also knows what Gan Ning is thinking. At the beginning, Qin Tian only had one county, which was isolated and surrounded by enemies. If Gan Ning had surrendered at that time, it would have been a timely help. But now, Qin Tian's territory has expanded, and his power is even in the world.
Among the princes, he can also be ranked in the middle level. If he chooses to vote at this time, based on his friendship with Qin Tian, Qin Tian will definitely use him in a more important way, but Gan Ning doesn't want to do this.
He has his own arrogance. Although he knows that Qin Tian will not think so, he still hopes to use his own ability to prove his worth before joining. Qin Tian's people will not say anything.
"Xingba, I'm going to Chang'an this time. I'm afraid it will take some time to come back. In the land of Jiangdong, please Xingba, for the sake of our friendship, please help me more. This is our navy general, Hengjiang Colonel Lingcao. If anything happens,
If you can't solve the problem, you can ask him for help." Sitting in the guest seat of Jinfan Camp, Qin Tian chatted with Gan Ning about household matters, and at the same time, he also formally introduced Ling Cao to Gan Ning.
Qin Tian had his own little plan in mind. Gan Ning, Huang Gai, and Ling Cao were the foundation of his navy in his plan for the future. However, in history, Ling Cao was shot by Gan Ning.
, in order to prevent the system from playing games, he had to take vaccinations in advance to avoid causing discord among his generals.
Gan Ning's current identity has not been cleared. On Dongting Lake, he can live freely and happily based on his ability. But who knows if there will be any problems in the future. Yuan Shu's navy is gone, but Liu Biao and Sun Jian's navy are not easy to eat.
Among the people who work, especially under Sun Jian, there is also Zhou Yu. No matter how powerful Gan Ning is, Qin Tian doesn't think he can compare with Zhou Lang. With Jiang Dong as his backing, if something really happens, he has a place to go.
However, according to Qin Tian's understanding of Gan Ning, this guy is very arrogant and would probably not do such a thing because he is poor. The main thing is to inform Ling Cao. With the power of Qingtian City's navy, he can take care of it.
.
After reminiscing about old times, Qin Tian didn't plan to stay here for too long. There might be some twists and turns on the way, so he said goodbye to Gan Ning in the afternoon.
"Brother Qing, wait a minute." When they were leaving, Gan Ning suddenly stopped Qin Tian. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Be careful of the Sun family in Jingnan."
It was only a short sentence, but it made Qin Tian startled for no reason. Aren't the Jingnan Sun clan the same as Sun Ce and his son? Gan Ning suddenly mentioned the Sun clan. Naturally, it couldn't be unintentional. Sun clan must have contacted Gan Ning.
Already.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian felt a little heavy in his heart. At present, he was not ready for a duel with the Sun family. Firstly, he had just occupied Danyang and Kuaiji counties, and it would take some time to digest it. Secondly, there was still a gap in between.
Yuzhang is such a large county, and even if the Sun family wanted to come over, it would be difficult for them to do so for a while.
However, Gan Ning's words made Qin Tian have to take this matter seriously. Sun Jian and his son were far more arrogant than Liu Yao or Wang Lang. When he was about to leave, Ling Cao was called over. After thinking about it, he asked Gan Ning for help.
I ran out of paper and ink and wrote a letter to Jia Xu. The general idea was to ask Jia Xu to pay close attention to Sun's movements while developing.
For now, the territory of Qin Tian and Sun's father and son are separated by Yuzhang, so it can be regarded as a well-off and a river-free. However, if we look back at the origin, Qin Tian can make them miserable in the battle of Hulao Pass. If nothing else, Huang Gai
Now that he has become his subordinate, with the character of Jiangdong Tiger, how can he be willing to give up?
He didn't say much, he just expressed his concerns. He believed that Jia Xu could understand what he meant, otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of being called a poisonous person.
"Let's go." After bidding farewell to Gan Ning and seeing off Ling Cao, Qin Tian turned over and rode on Jingfan and began to head towards Chang'an. The four of them traveled together with a small goal. Although the Han Emperor is still there, the fact is
The situation was already in name only. Both Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong and the princes in Guandong were quietly accumulating strength and recruiting troops. Compared with Jiangdong and the Central Plains, due to the large number of Yellow Turban refugees going south, the princes in the Central Plains were relatively peaceful.
Not long after walking out of the Dongting Lake area, a slim figure appeared in front of the eyes on the spacious official road. It stood with its head raised and its grace was outstanding. Even if the face was covered with a veil, it could not hide the moving appearance. It was really attractive.
The eyes of many people.
"Zhang Ning?" Qin Tian called out in surprise. As a large number of Yellow Turban refugees poured into Jiangdong, enriching the three counties and one city under Qin Tian's rule, Zhang Ning's role also weakened a lot, and Qin Tian no longer restrained him.
In fact, Zhang Ning's actions have never been restricted. Zhang Ning's general scope of activities is in Qingtian City. He rarely even goes out of the city gate. Most of the time, he is in the city lord's palace, chatting with Luo Yun.
Or he could come and abuse Qin Tian at chess and live freely.
"I heard that the master is going to travel far away. I am very moved by Tranquility. I am willing to accompany you. I wonder if the master is willing to take you in?" Zhang Ning's eyes always had the kind of tranquility with a smile that could make steel turn into tenderness around the fingers.
It's hard to refuse.
If Gan Ning said this, Qin Tian would definitely agree without hesitation, but Zhang Ning... his identity is too sensitive. In addition to Jiangdong, Qin Tian knows: Jingzhou Yellow Turban Sun Xia, Yizhou Yellow Turban Horse Prime Minister, they all want to get it.
Soon after, if it were in Jiangdong, no one would dare to attack Qin Tian's tiger beard, but if it were elsewhere, it would not be a joke once Zhang Ning's identity was revealed.
Qin Tian immediately refused without even thinking. Zhang Ning seemed to have read through Qin Tian's thoughts. He calmly took out a letter from his sleeve, waved it in front of Qin Tian and said, "Sir, wait a moment to refuse. Take a look at this."
The letter was Jia Xu's own handwriting. Qin Tian was 100% sure of this. The content asked Qin Tian to take Zhang Ning with him. He did not say the reason. Qin Tian was puzzled. However, since Jia Xu specifically explained it, there must be something.
What a profound meaning, Qin Tian nodded and returned the letter to Zhang Ning. Just like that, the group of four became a group of five.
On the road, there are quite a few players wandering around in groups. Copies of famous generals appear one after another in various places. Most people are vigorously swiping famous general cards to improve their strength in preparation for the last and most glorious one after the next year.
The reincarnation league.
Occasionally, some people would take a second look at this seemingly strange combination. Most of them were attracted by Zhang Ning, who had an elegant temperament. His beauty brought trouble to Qin Tian, but there were two second-grade famous generals here.
The siege of some players, apart from entering reincarnation, did not cause any trouble. It might provoke some powerful gangs, but after they gathered the good people, the five people here had already escaped. The speed of the second-grade war horses,
If you travel three thousand a day, these gangs can only stare.
Passing through Jingzhou, going around Wancheng, and passing by Sili, this area now belongs to the territory of Buluo Imperial City. As one of the initiators of the abandonment of Sili, Qin Tian still remembers the dilapidated appearance of this place when he left Luoyang, but he didn't expect it.
Years later, a lot of vitality has been restored. Qin Tian can't help but praise the ability of the bustling city. If it can really restore this place to the average level of other states and counties, it will not only be Luo Imperial City, but also be regarded as the best among the princes in the world.
A powerful force has emerged.
However, from the current point of view, this possibility is not too great. The large amount of resources, gold and silver required for development are not what an imperial city can afford at all. To restore it, it is
It is a vast and long process. If the prosperity of the people is really so quiet as his farming sect, it is estimated that it will be impossible to restore the glory of the imperial capital until the end of the Samsara Three Kingdoms.
And the people who have lost their prosperity are not just ordinary farmers. Now they are dormant, but they are just preparing for a big success in the future. Among the players, there are not many people who can be valued by Qin Tian. He can count them on one hand.
Come out, and among them, the Lord of the Imperial City will definitely occupy a place.
Glancing in the direction of Hangu Pass from a distance, Qin Tian already had a guess in his mind. After the prosperity was over, this was a mess that no one, including the players and NPC princes, was optimistic about. I am afraid that Xiang Zhuang was dancing with his sword, and the target was set.
In the upcoming Chang'an Rebellion.
That’s not to say that counselors like Jia Xu and Guo Jia are not as good as Hua Luo. In fact, whether in reality or in the game, there are definitely not many wise men like Jia Xu and Guo Jia who can plan the world. Hua Rui is Qin Tian’s.
My opinion is very pertinent, maybe no worse than my own, but when it comes to being compared to the likes of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, I would never believe it even to death.
The reason why he saw it but those top strategists didn't was that most of them took advantage of their superior knowledge. He knew about the upcoming Chang'an Rebellion, but even those top strategists who were as intelligent as demons did not have the ability to do calculations.
Of course I won't notice.
The current guard of Hangu Pass is a man Qin Tian cannot name, but he looks familiar. With Xu Rong here, he naturally does not dare to make things difficult. After a few greetings as usual, he opened the door and let a few people pass.
In a few days, the city of Chang'an was already in sight. This trip only took one month, which saved two months compared to returning from Chang'an along the waterway. Naturally, there were many people who were faster.
The factors were inside. Looking at the majestic city, Qin Tian foresaw the coming catastrophe, and secretly sighed in his heart, hoping that when he went back, it would be so smooth.
