The sound of the trumpet is high-pitched and shrill, long and distant, carried over the vast waters of the Yangtze River.
Although the shoulder blades of Sun Jian's arms were severely injured, his body was still upright, and he looked at the fast-moving ships, his expression as usual, without any panic.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find a trace of sadness flashing in Sun Jian's eyes.
Following Cheng Pu's plan, he entered the Yangtze River Basin from the Xiangjiang River and sailed down the river. He had obviously escaped Liu Biao's navy, so how could there be any big ships to intercept him? In addition, the wind direction at this time was northward, and it was difficult for Sun Jian and others to ride
For the big ship, it is going against the wind, but for the big ship coming from far away, it is going with the wind, and the speed is very fast.
In the blink of an eye, large ships appeared in everyone's sight.
Looking around, I saw a strong man standing on the bow of the big ship at the front.
The man stood tall and straight, with his hair scattered on his shoulders blown by the river wind, making him look wild and unruly. His clothes were unique and very different from ordinary people.
It was April, and there was still a hint of chill, which made people feel a little chilly. Especially when standing on the river, I felt even more chilly. However, the man only wore a thin singlet, rolled up his long sleeves, and exposed his legs.
A muscular arm with bulging veins, looking a bit ferocious and scary. Looking down, there is a dark chain wrapped around the man's waist, with a small golden bell hanging on it. As long as the body shakes slightly, the bell will appear.
It makes a crisp sound.
This person is none other than Gan Ning who left Hanzhong.
He did not serve under Wang Can, so he led his subordinate Jinfanerlang back to the Yangtze River and continued his old business.
In the past six months, the number of water pirates under Gan Ning's command has expanded from 800 to 3,000, and the number of warships has also expanded from two to eight. Its strength has expanded very quickly, which is breathtaking. With eight warships, combat
Very capable, the Jinfan bandits led by Gan Ning seemed to be the overlord on the Yangtze River. Even if the Jingzhou navy encountered Gan Ning, they would avoid fighting. Both sides did not interfere with the river, and each was safe.
"So burly, so fierce, and a talented general!"
Sun Jian looked at Gan Ning standing on the bow of the boat and couldn't help but admire him.
Although the situation was critical, Sun Jian had the idea of taking Gan Ning into his own hands.
Cheng Pu stood behind Sun Jian with a knife in his hand, looking at Gan Ning, his brows furrowed, and a look of thought in his eyes. After a long silence, Cheng Pu suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in a trembling voice: "The thief of Jinfan, it's Gan Ning, the thief of Jinfan."
." Cheng Pu's tone was urgent and he hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, on the Yangtze River, the Jinfan bandits come and go like the wind, and they are invincible. If the Jinfan bandits block the way, we may not be able to return to Changsha."
When Huang Gai heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Not only Huang Gai, but also Cheng Pu and Zurong's expressions suddenly changed, and Sun Jian's expression also changed drastically.
He had just wanted to subdue Gan Ning, but he was an unrestrained Jinfan thief and it was difficult to subdue him.
If he was not injured and the two sides chose to fight on land, Sun Jian was not afraid of Gan Ning. With the help of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, Sun Jian was sure that he could keep Gan Ning. However, his arms were now used by Huang Zu
He was wounded by a crossbow arrow and lost his combat effectiveness, unable to suppress Gan Ning. Moreover, everyone was on the big ship, above the river. Once Gan Ning sent water ghosts to pierce the big ship Sun Jian was riding on, everyone would sink into the Yangtze River and die.
No burial place.
"Huhu..."
Sun Jian took a few deep breaths, tried hard to calm down the restless emotions in his heart, and waited quietly for Gan Ning's ship to catch up.
At tea time, Gan Ning's ship approached Sun Jian's ship.
Sun Jian looked solemn and shouted loudly: "The person coming is Gan Ning, Gan Xingba?"
Gan Ning nodded, laughed and said: "Your grandfather, I am the Jinfan thief Gan Ning. Who are you? Tell me your name quickly... Well, you know my name, it's pretty good. You look like a human or a dog."
Like this, he is also wearing rich clothes, he must be a rich man, hand over the money on the ship and spare the lives of all of you. I am merciful enough if I take wealth but not life!"
After saying this, Gan Ning opened his mouth and laughed loudly.
The laughter was so wild and arrogant that it was arrogant and arrogant.
It looked like he was the King of Heaven and no one could control him.
Gan Ning's words made Sun Jian frown slightly, but they did not make Sun Jian angry because Gan Ning didn't know their identities yet, which gave Sun Jian the chance to escape.
However, just when Sun Jian was about to speak, Sun Ce took the lead and shouted: "My father is Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha. You are a water thief, arrogant and arrogant. You just don't kneel down to beg for mercy when you see my father, but you are so rude. You are so arrogant."
Ignorant water thief, I can kill you by myself." Sun Ce was also furious. When he heard Gan Ning's arrogant tone and insulted Sun Jian, a raging fire burned in his heart, and he wanted to rush forward and kill Gan Ning.
Every young man has an idol that he admires, and Sun Jian is undoubtedly the person Sun Ce admires. Gan Ning made rude remarks, and Sun Ce immediately wanted to kill Gan Ning.
Sun Jian had a bitter smile on his face after hearing Sun Ce's words.
He wanted to make up a false name to get past him, but now that Sun Ce has revealed his identity, it may be difficult to solve the problem.
Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat and laughed heartily after listening to Sun Ce's words, with a look of joy on his face.
Gan Ning's eyes as sharp as a knife fell on Sun Jian, and Gan Ning said loudly: "This man, when he is lucky, gold will fall from the sky. I was so idle that I went out to get some money, but I didn't expect to encounter a big fish."
"Sun Jian, you escaped Liu Biao's pursuit, which made Liu Biao furious. The old man wanted you in Jingzhou. Anyone who catches you will be rewarded 10,000 gold. It's really a generous sum! Hey, you said that you are a governor of Changsha, and you can't tell anyone who catches you.
Why are you carrying the national jade seal in your pocket? If you hand over the national jade seal, I will not make things difficult for you and let you live."
After Gan Ning finished speaking, he stared at Sun Jian, waiting for Sun Jian's reply.
After hearing this, Sun Jian's expression did not change, he shook his head and said: "Brother Gan, Sun Jian doesn't have the national jade seal, how can you hand it over?"
A ferocious smile appeared on Gan Ning's dark face, and he chuckled: "Sun Jian, I thought you were a man, but according to your words, it is not the case. I dare not admit what I have done, it is embarrassing!"
Sun Jian smiled and said: "Brother Gan, the method of stimulating generals has long been outdated. Sun Jian really does not have a jade seal."
Gan Ning shook his head and said nothing, obviously not believing what Sun Jian said.
At this time, Cheng Pu whispered a few words in Sun Jian's ear, and Sun Jian nodded quickly, with a happy look on his face.
He cupped his hands towards Gan Ning and said loudly: "Brother Gan, I heard that you went to Hanzhong last year to seek an official position. You wanted to build a career and make a wife and son, but Wang Can didn't recognize Brother Gan's talent. Brother Gan eventually fell out with Wang Can.
, returned to the Yangtze River and continued to plunder for a living. Although Brother Gan traveled freely across the Yangtze River, how can a man do nothing if he only walks around in this world."
"A man can gain fame immediately. Now that the world is in chaos, it is a time when heroes are everywhere. Brother Gan is superb in martial arts and good at fighting on water. He is a rare general. I wonder if Brother Gan will be willing to serve as an official under my command. As long as he is willing to
If you are willing, brother, there is no problem in becoming the Navy Commander."
After finishing speaking, Sun Jian looked at Gan Ning expectantly.
Success or failure depends on this.
After listening to Sun Jian's words, Gan Ning glanced in the direction of Hanzhong, with a look of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.
