Chapter 77 Lobbying
"Please drink." After the women poured the wine into the wine glass, Liu Feng picked up the wine glass and said to Gan Ning with a smile.
"Please." Gan Ning also picked up the wine on the table. The two looked at each other and raised their heads to drink together.
When the drink was drunk, both of them felt that they had a closer relationship. Putting down the wine glass, Gan Ning looked at the woman serving next to him and asked, "No matter in front of the door, on the road, or in the house, did the lieutenant take down this island that is easy to defend and difficult to attack without bloodshed?"
"The hero is looking carefully." Liu Feng smiled and then explained: "I used a trick to defeat the thief outside and then captured this island."
"So that's it." Gan Ning smiled. Then, without the need for a woman to serve, he picked up the jar and filled the wine glasses. He raised his glass with a smile and said, "Congratulations, sir."
"Thank you." Seeing this, Liu Feng also poured down the wine and drank it with Gan Ning again.
After three rounds of drinking, Liu Feng put down his drink and asked with a smile: "I heard that the heroes took 800 people from Yizhou and went to Nanyang to rely on Liu Jingzhou. Why did they attack the thieves late at night?"
"It's a bit ashamed to say." Gan Ning looked embarrassed and then explained: "I had a bad reputation in Yizhou in my early years. Although I was interested in serving Liu Jingzhou after coming to Jingzhou, because of my poor reputation, I did not meet courtesy. So I led the athletes north and planned to capture Du Island."
"The hero wants to be a thief?" Liu Feng's expression remained unchanged.
"No. I want to plunder some money and rely on Huang Zu to Jiangxia." Gan Ning shook his head and said.
Gan Ning stayed in Nanyang for a long time. Seeing that Liu Biao did not value him, he naturally had the idea of turning to other places. He heard that Jiangxia and Huang Zu liked gold and silver, so he had the intention.
Want to serve your preferences and get reused.
He had been inquiring about the situation in Du Dao for a long time, but he didn't expect Liu Feng to take the lead and seize control of Du Dao.
"It is not the right way to use gold and silver to buy the past." Liu Feng was of course unwilling to watch Gan Ning go to join Huang Zu, pondered for a while, and found an excuse.
"Of course it's not the right way." Gan Ning said with a smile. Then, his face turned solemn, and he raised his fist and said, "The Chief Captain is the son of General Zuo. General Zuo has a grudge with Gong Cao, and everyone knows it. I will say something straight."
"Please tell me, hero." Liu Feng was a little surprised at Gan Ning's sudden change, but he raised his hand appropriately.
"Tonight, I am invited by the adults. Second, I also want to cooperate with the adults." Gan Ning looked at Liu Feng sincerely and said.
"How to cooperate?" Liu Feng asked.
"It is said that a army of Cao Gong escorting war horses was coming to Fancheng from the north. There were a total of 1,000 horses. I wanted to rob it to offer it to Huang Zu. I was given more use." As he said that, Gan Ning looked up at Liu Feng and saw that Liu Feng was calm. He continued, "It was only 800 soldiers under his command. It was a little insufficient, so he wanted to ask the adults to join forces to rob them. The battle horses he obtained were divided into five or five. How about it?"
Gan Ning didn't know how many troops there were in Liu Feng's tent, but he just spoke up and divided the account, which showed his generousness. Liu Feng was of course moved by war horses.
But even though he was moved, Liu Feng was calm in the end. Although the war horse was good, it was not as important as the lives of his soldiers.
Fighting with the army escorting war horses is completely different from fighting with water thieves.
If one is not good, you will lose more than half of the war horses, and you will get only 500 war horses. It is not cost-effective, not cost-effective.
So, Liu Feng shook his head slowly and said, "This is inappropriate."
"It makes the lieutenant embarrassed." As he said that, Gan Ning raised his glass and drank it all over: "Just pretend I haven't said it."
Seeing this, Liu Feng also drank and returned the gift.
After drinking it all in one gulp, Liu Feng looked at Gan Ning's expression and found that Gan Ning was not at all unhappy with his rejection, but was a little depressed by Liu Feng's rejection.
I admire Gan Ning's character even more and I also desire to keep Gan Ning's heart.
However, in order to gain reuse, Gan Ning did not hesitate to use troops to plunder wealth, and war horses were looking forward to Huang Zu's reuse. It can be seen that his heart was tenacious.
Generally speaking, Gan Ning must not be kept. When Gan Ning defected to Huang Zu, he would turn to Sun Quan.
It's like a wild horse that leaves its reins, never looking back.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Feng looked at Gan Ning sincerely and said, "I also have a saying, I wonder if the hero is willing to listen?"
"Sir, please tell me." Gan Ning said immediately.
"I said before that it is not the right way for a hero to use gold and silver to gain reuse. Even if he is dedicated to a war horse, he will only give his preferences. Huang Zu may reward official titles, but he will never use them. Because he has no name to recognize people," Liu Feng persuaded with great thoughts.
"I have considered this, but I have a grudge against Liu Zhang in the world, and Liu Jingzhou is not polite to me. The rest of Sun Quan's side is also difficult to go because of the road isolation. I can only join Huang Zu." Gan Ning said with a wry smile. Obviously, he had thought about these issues.
I feel that offering gold and silver is not enough, so offering a war horse may be reused.
Liu Feng had already had a solution to this. He smiled and said, "The hero cares too much about his reputation." As he said that, Liu Feng paused and looked up at Gan Ning. Gan Ning looked puzzled. He couldn't help but smile and explained, "In today's chaotic times, capital is not gold, silver, war horses, but soldiers. The hero has eight hundred heroes, and when the war comes together, he will either join Cao Gong, or join Liu Jingzhou, or go down the river to enter Jiangdong. At that time, who dares to be rude to the princes?"
As he said that, Liu Feng smiled and said, "If the situation changes suddenly, I will soar up, either by a county or by thousands of soldiers and horses, and I will definitely ask the heroes to recruit soldiers and horses as Simas of other departments."
No matter how you look at this sentence, it seems like a joke. Gan Ning smiled and raised his fist and said, "If this day really happens, I will definitely go to Master Yi."
However, Gan Ning also had some thoughts in his mind. Thinking about Liu Feng's words carefully, this is indeed the truth. In the troubled times, only soldiers and horses are the most realistic. As long as you have soldiers and horses, you will definitely be reused.
When you speak, you will naturally stop when you click.
Seeing that Gan Ning's expression was slightly strange, Liu Feng couldn't help but smile.
This lobbying of Gan Ning is a very different situation from the recruitment of Deng Ai. Gan Ning is an adult, and he is also an adult with 800 elite soldiers. Deng Ai is just a few-year-old child.
However, judging from Gan Ning's expression, his words really worked.
He raised his wine glass, raised his head and took a sip. The strong wine tore his throat like a knife, pouring into his stomach, and then a warm current rose from his body.
Today is destined to be a happy day.
"Sir, what happened just now?" Xu Tian's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and then Xu Tian walked in quickly.
The clothes were very neatly worn, but the hair was a little messy, so I was obviously coming in a hurry.
"If you have guests here, don't be rude." Liu Feng shook his head and reminded Xu Tian's loss of manners.
