Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 615: Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's First Meeting

Gan Ning heard what Zhao Yun said and laughed, "If that's the case, I'll go get one someday."

Zhao Yun laughed and scolded: "You are a military commander, why do you want to be convinced?"

Gan Ning disagreed and said, "I, Gan Ning, not only want to be a military commander, but also a wise commander."

"Military commanders are controlled by others."

"Only those who are good at both civil and military affairs can control life and death."

Zhuge Liang looked at Gan Ning with some surprise.

When he was in Shouchun, he investigated all the generals in Yangzhou.

He also had a deep understanding of Gan Ning.

This general who came from a Jiang bandit family is no simple existence.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

I hope he can mend his ways.

If the situation remains the same as in Yizhou, I will inform Zhao Yun, the governor of Yangzhou, and get rid of him in advance without waiting for my lord to take action.

Gan Ning obviously did not guess what Zhuge Liang was thinking.

While asking Su Fei to prepare the banquet in advance so that he could come back and serve the feast to Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang later, he personally took Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang on a small boat to patrol along the coast of the river.

Zhuge Liang asked curiously, "Captain Gan doesn't bring any personal soldiers with him?"

Gan Ning rowed the boat and said proudly, "Why, Mr. Zhuge, are you afraid that I can't protect you?"

"I have been dealing with water since I was a child. People call me 'Little White Dragon of the Waves'."

"There are only three of us. I'm not exaggerating. Even if the king of heaven came, he couldn't stop us."

"On weekdays, when I monitor and defend, I row the boat back and forth by myself."

"If one person makes little noise, it's not easy for the soldiers to notice. If they neglect their duties, I can easily catch them."

"Similarly, it will be difficult for the enemy to notice me, so it will not be easy to expose our weaknesses."

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement and said to Zhao Yun, "General Zilong, I heard that Captain Gan was a river thief, but now it seems that he has changed his ways and is quite strategic."

Gan Ning scratched his head and laughed.

He likes it most when people praise him for turning over a new leaf.

Today, he is no longer the young thief he used to be.

He is the real Deputy Commander of Lujiang!

He used to be just a thief.

Now he is not only an official, but also an official with a promising future!
Zhao Yun looked at Gan Ning and smiled.

Gan Ning rowed the boat, taking Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun to inspect the defenses near Wankou Port. He also introduced the patrols of Chaisang on the other side of the Yangtze River, saying, "A year ago, the Central Guard General Zhou Yu suddenly came to Chaisang."

"I don't quite understand."

"How could the Central Guard Army, with such an important position and military power, end up in a small place like Chaisang?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Chaisang on the other side of the river, fanning himself with a feather fan and saying, "Maybe, he is not valued!"

Gan Ning was puzzled and asked, "Not valued? How could he be appointed as the Central Guard General if he is not valued?"

"Did Mr. Zhuge have any misunderstanding?"

"This Zhou Yu is a childhood friend of Sun Ce, the former ruler of Jiangdong. The two of them eat at the same table and sleep on the same bed. They are as close as brothers."

"It is said that in order to support Sun Ce's domination of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu persuaded the Zhou family, who were three dukes in their second generation, to sell their property and move to Wujun in Jiangdong."

“How much trust does this require?”

"That's the Zhou family, which has three dukes in its second generation!"

"The Zhou family left their homeland and moved to a wild land. How much sacrifice was this?"

"It is said that Sun Ce appreciated Zhou Yu and gave him the position of Central Guard General, and even let the Zhou family live near his home."

Zhuge Liang glanced at the bonfires burning in Chaisang on the other side of the river and asked Zhao Yun standing behind him, "What do you think, General Zilong?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I don't want to think about this."

"I only know that my lord treats me sincerely, and I will treat him with loyalty."

"Sun Ce is not my lord, and I am not Zhou Yu."

"The lord is the lord, and I am me."

"The relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu is different from the relationship between me and my lord."

"I don't want to speculate about others." Zhuge Liang looked back at Zhao Yun and laughed, "Yes, the relationship between General Zilong and the lord is different from the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu."

"My lord, you have been taught by Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou, and Tian Feng, the governor of Xuzhou, and you are open and honest."

"Although Sun Ce is extremely brave, he was born in the countryside and is violent by nature. He seems to be broad-minded, but he is always on guard."

"I can only say that Zhou Yu was entrusted to the wrong person."

"Sun Quan, Sun Ce's younger brother, may seem to have great strategy, but his childhood environment meant that he was destined to be unable to escape the fate of a humble origin."

"This Zhou Yu is a bit pitiful."

"If he can be loyal to the lord."

"With the lord's broad mind, the reputation of the Zhou family, which has three dukes in two generations, and Zhou Yu's own talent, perhaps another top family with three dukes in four generations will rise."

"Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world."

"Everything has its destiny."

Gan Ning and Zhao Yun looked at each other in bewilderment.

What fate?
They don’t believe this!
Suddenly, Gan Ning raised his lips slightly and said, "Wow, Zhou Yu is here to patrol as well."

Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun both looked at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning pointed to the opposite bank. Under the golden afterglow of the setting sun, three small boats formed a “品” shape and were slowly coming towards this side.

The small boat in front had a flag hanging on its mast, with a big "Zhou" character written on it.

Gan Ning pointed his right index finger at the flag on the mast and said to Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, "I have been guarding Wankou Port for more than half a year and have seen this ship several times. There is no mistake. Zhou Yu must be on it."

"Although Zhou Yu is young and looks weak, he is very strict in commanding his troops."

"He also has to patrol in person every day, just in case."

"I met him several times."

"He is a cautious person."

"Every time we patrol, there are dozens of experts around us."

"I thought about attacking him by surprise, but was blocked by the people around him."

Gan Ning looked at Zhou Yu's boat approaching, his eyes burning with heat.

Every time he thought, if he could sneak attack Zhou Yu like he did Sun Ce, it would definitely be a great achievement.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu is not Sun Ce and does not give him this opportunity.

As Gan Ning, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun watched Zhou Yu's boat coming over, Zhou Yu, on his boat, was wearing armor and quietly looking at the defenses along the coast of Chaisang.

Suddenly, a young general pointed to a small boat in the distance and said to Zhou Yu, "General, Gan Ning is not alone today."

The young general was named Xu Sheng, who came south from Guangling half a year ago.

Although he is young, he is brave and warlike.

The most important thing is that he came from Langya County and had no previous contact with other people in Jiangdong.

Therefore, after testing him several times, Zhou Yu decisively accepted him and made him the captain of his personal guard.

During the half year since he came to Chaisang, Zhou Yu recruited many talented young people.

It's not just powerful generals like Xu Sheng.

There are many other talented people.

The youngest and most talented among them is a young man named Pang Tong, who has just reached the age of 20 this year.

Zhou Yu directly appointed Pang Tong as the chief clerk, who also served as his aide, to help him reorganize the army and horses and give him advice.

He was able to free up his hands and concentrate on military affairs.

At this moment, hearing Xu Sheng say that Gan Ning was not alone this time, Zhou Yu withdrew his gaze from the coast of Chaisang and signaled the small boat to approach Gan Ning's boat.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu saw more than just Gan Ning.

There are two other people.

When the distance was close enough, Zhou Yu could clearly see Zhao Yun standing behind Zhuge Liang with a sword on his back, and his face suddenly changed.

Although he didn't know the man's specific identity.

However, when he brought Sun Ce's generals to visit Lu Su at the market town, he did not see Lu Su, but met Zhang Sui.

In front of the thatched cottage, Song Qian, an old general of Sun Ce's father, was shot dead by the man in front of him!
