Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 93 Yuanlong, don’t eat too much sashimi... (Thanks to Stardust for the two monthly tickets~)

After roughly guessing the identity of the bell man, Lu Bu also knew how to deal with this guy.

Under the surprised gazes of Yan Qingqing and others, he bowed deeply ninety degrees to the man in front of him:
"I am Lu Fengxian from Baotou, nice to meet you."

He saw that the legendary Lu Bu was actually very respectful to him.

The man who was leaning against the maple tree just now was flattered. He quickly stood up straight and bowed 90 degrees to Lu Bu in return:
"I have heard of the great name of Marquis Wen for a long time! I am Gan Ning, Gan Xingba, and I am honored to meet Marquis Lü Wen!"

When Lu Bu heard the other party call out the expected name, he was still extremely surprised.

He immediately shook Gan Ning's hand and praised him enthusiastically:
"It turns out to be the Jinfan hero Gan Xingba! Your name is well-known to me!
"After seeing it today, I found that it is indeed a vast sea dragon, with an extraordinary bearing!"

Feeling the strength and warmth coming from Lu Bu's big hand, Gan Ning was stunned again.

He never expected that the most powerful general in the world would treat him so warmly.

An inexplicable feeling of being moved surged in his heart, causing him to develop a strong liking for the man in front of him.

Although he is now serving as a county magistrate under Liu Yan, a high official position, he has never been treated so warmly by Liu Yan.

This feeling was like meeting someone who truly understood him, giving him a strong sense of closeness.

Gan Ning immediately knelt on one knee in front of Lu Bu and said excitedly:
"Marquis Wen and I hit it off right away, and it's a shame we met so late!
“I heard that Marquis Wen is recruiting talented people. Although I am incompetent, I am quite brave.

"If Marquis Wen doesn't give up, I'm willing to offer my humble help!"

Seeing that Gan Ning actually took the initiative to surrender to him, Lu Bu was surprised, but also realized the importance of the information.

It is indeed the same as described in history:
Gan Ning is kind to whoever is kind to him, and he is enthusiastic to whoever is enthusiastic to him.

He is brave and resourceful but not cunning, a rare loyal and talented person!

If he didn't know the other person's personality in advance, it would not be so easy for him to win the other person's favor.

Lu Bu immediately helped him up, with a smile on his face:
"Xingba, what are you talking about? If you are incompetent, who else in this world can have real ability?"

Hearing Lu Bu's praise again, Gan Ning smiled innocently and touched his head.

Lu Bu continued:

"From today on, you will be my Central Guard, and concurrently the Governor of Jiujiang!"

Gan Ning's eyes widened instantly when he was granted both civil and military official positions at once!

The Central Guard General is a core official position in the army, and the position of the prefect is in charge of an entire county!
The other party actually gave two such important positions to me who had just joined?
I didn't expect that the other party would attach so much importance to him!
Gan Ning was so excited that he became a little unsure. He immediately clasped his fists in gratitude towards Lu Bu:

"I am truly fortunate that my lord values ​​me so much!

"But these two positions are too important. I am worried that I am not capable enough to take on the tasks..."

Lu Bu patted Gan Ning's shoulder vigorously and encouraged him with a smile:
"You have served as the county magistrate under Liu Yan for such a long time, you should have a lot of experience in how to manage a county.

"As for the position of Central Guard, as long as you show your bravery, no one will dare to disobey you!"

After hearing what Lu Bu said, Gan Ning was silent for two seconds, and finally agreed:
"Since it is the Lord's order, Xingba will not let the Lord down!"

"very good!"

Lu Bu clapped his hands in praise, then started chatting with Gan Ning under the tree.

Soon, Yuedanping finally came to an end.

Before leaving, many scholars came to greet Lu Bu, and Lu Bu asked their names one by one.

It’s a pity that there are no other famous people.

But even so, Lu Bu still maintained friendly relations with them.

He implied that if they wanted to become officials, they could come to him.

Zhang Hong and Chen Deng also came to say goodbye to Lü Bu. Lü Bu immediately saluted them solemnly:

"You two are both extremely talented. If you think highly of me, could you lend me a helping hand?"

Zhang Hong and Chen Deng looked at each other.

The former was completely convinced by Lu Bu's essay and poem.

He had long since abandoned his previous contempt and respectfully responded to Lü Bu: "Zhang Hong is willing to serve the Marquis of Wen!"

Lu Bu quickly supported Zhang Hong's shoulders and was overjoyed:
"Good, good, with Brother Zigang's help, I don't have to worry about domestic affairs!"

Zhang Hong was secretly delighted when he heard what Lu Bu said, and then asked:

"My lord, have you ever heard of the names of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu?"

Lu Bu's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly:

"Of course I have heard of him! Could it be possible that Brother Zigang could invite him here?"

Zhang Hong smiled slightly:
“Although he and I are from different hometowns, we are from the same clan and have been good friends for many years.

"Wait for me to go back and convince him, and then join him in the vote!"

"Thank you very much!" Lu Bu expressed his gratitude to Zhang Hong sincerely.

Although Zhang Zhao was a well-known capitulationist, his surrender was also based on his judgment of the situation.

As long as the master can demonstrate sufficient courage and strength, the other party will naturally not surrender easily.

And just because he is a capitulator, we cannot ignore his strong overall abilities.

This guy has high attainments in domestic affairs, military affairs and strategy.

He is not just a civil servant, he is also a good commander in leading troops in battles!
His overall ability is even better than Zhang Hong's. He doesn't want to give up on such a talent.

Lu Bu then looked at Chen Deng who remained silent.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, he knew that the other party had not made up his mind.

After all, in history, the other party has always been loyal to Cao Cao.

Even though he surrendered to Lu Bu on the surface, it was only to serve as Cao Cao's accomplice.

For such a person, even if the other party submits to him now, he dare not directly use him.

But the other party now looked conflicted, and was really considering who was more worthy of investment between him and Cao Cao.

Seeing that Chen Deng couldn't make up his mind for a while, Lu Bu said considerately:

“Yuanlong doesn’t have to give me an answer now.

"I know there is still a gap between me and Cao Cao, so it doesn't matter if you don't want to help me now.

"I will continue to work hard until one day, I can truly gain recognition from you and the Chen family!"

A hint of surprise appeared in Chen Deng's eyes.

How did this guy know that he was thinking about Cao Cao?
Could it be possible that this guy could read people's minds?
Looking at Lu Bu's smiling expression, Chen Deng felt quite awe-inspiring.

However, he still did not make a choice. Instead, he bowed to Lu Bu and said:
“This matter is not something that can be decided by one person.

"Please allow me to go back and discuss this with my father. I will definitely give Marquis Wen a satisfactory answer!"

My father?

Are you referring to that old fox Chen Gui?

Compared with Chen Deng, the old guy was more inclined towards Cao Cao. Chen Deng was more or less influenced by his father.

However, Lu Bu believed that people's thoughts were not static.

As long as he shows greater strength and potential than Cao Cao.

He believed that sooner or later the Chen family father and son would sincerely work for him!
Before Chen Deng left, Lu Bu suddenly called him.

Chen Deng looked back at Lu Bu with some worry, but Lu Bu just smiled and reminded him:

"I heard that Yuanlong likes to eat sashimi? Although it's delicious, it's not clean.

“If Yuanlong doesn’t want to die young, he can come to my place if he has the chance in the future.

"I can arrange for Dr. Zhang Zhongjing to examine your body."
