After a brief silence, Zhou Tai took the lead in expressing his attitude.
"General Gan, I just said when we competed, as long as we lose, I will let you do whatever you want!"
"Although I am a rough man, I also know that a man's words are like water thrown out!"
"Thanks to the respect of General Wei, I don't think Zhou Tai is vulgar. If I continue to be indifferent, then I am too ignorant of praise!"
"I, Zhou Tai, am willing to submit to General Wei!"
Gan Ning was immediately overjoyed, and he was full of praise for Zhou Tai in his heart.
"Commander Zhou is indeed a hero in this world!"
Zhou Tai's surrender undoubtedly set an example for the other two!
"Hahaha, General Gan doesn't need to call me Commander Zhou anymore. My surname is Zhou, my name is Tai, and I'm Youping. I'm twenty-six years old this year! If General Gan doesn't give up, how about we treat him like brothers in the future?"
"OK!"
Before Gan Ning surrendered to Liu Zhang, he liked to make friends with heroes from all over the world. Now that Zhou Tai took the initiative, he was even more delighted.
"My surname is Gan, my name is Ning, and my courtesy name is Xingba. I am twenty-eight years old this year, and I am two years older than my brother Zhou!"
Zhou Tai was also very happy and saluted Gan Ning.
"Brother Xingba!"
Gan Ning did not dare to neglect and quickly returned the favor.
"Brother Youping!"
Including the subordinates on both sides, everyone was puzzled by the sudden change on the bow of the ship. How could the two people who were facing each other life and death just now be so good as brothers now?
"Commander Chiang, what do you think?"
Gan Ning turned to look at Jiang Qin and asked for his opinion.
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were as close as brothers. Now that Zhou Tai had surrendered, Jiang Qin could not refuse. He immediately raised his hand and looked at Gan Ning.
"General Gan, my surname is Jiang Qin and my given name is Gongyi. I am twenty-five this year. If General Gan doesn't dislike him, he will be Jiang Qin's brother from now on!"
Gan Ning looked up to the sky and laughed again, his excitement couldn't be concealed on his face.
"What are you saying, dear brother Gongyi! It's too late for Gan Ning to be happy, how can he dislike him?"
"Brother Xingba!"
"Brother Gongyi!"
Then Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin put their hands together at the same time. The three of them looked at each other, and then burst into hearty laughter.
"These two worthy brothers have great talents. After arriving in Yizhou, they will be put into great use by the lord!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were like in a dream. They didn't expect that today's Yangtze River water thief would suddenly transform into a general of Yizhou!
"Mr. Liu, what do you think?"
Gan Ning knew clearly in his heart that if Liu Zhang were here, Liu Ye would undoubtedly be the most important of the three people in front of him.
No matter how powerful Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were, they were only brave enough to fight against ten or a hundred people at most. Only the strongest ones were known as the enemies of ten thousand people.
But a brilliant strategist can destroy an army of 100,000 with a single blow!
"Mr. Liu, my lord really values you very much! If it weren't for Yizhou Xinding, he would have wanted to invite you in person!"
Regardless of whether Gan Ning meant Liu Zhang's words or not, it was indeed very comfortable to hear Liu Ye's ears now.
"Xinding, Yizhou? General Wei pacified Zhang Lu and others?"
Gan Ning nodded heavily, and when he mentioned Liu Zhang, he couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes.
"That's right! Zhang Lu, Jia Long, Ren Qi, and Zhao Wei were destroyed one after another. When I set off from Yufu, my lord saw me off in person!"
A trace of surprise also flashed in Liu Ye's eyes. Liu Zhang went to Yufuxiang to see Gan Ning off, indicating that Ba County had been completely recovered.
Hanzhong County, Guanghan County, Shu County, Qianwei County, Ba County!
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang conquered most of Yizhou in such a short period of time!
Although it seems to be just a county in Yizhou, in the Central Plains, this county is even as big as a state!
"I really don't know how capable Ye Hede is, that he can be favored by such a genius!"
Liu Ye smiled softly and then bowed his hands to Gan Ning.
"General Wei is right. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, we, the descendants of the clan, must join hands to save the world! I have looked at clans everywhere, but only General Wei has great talents and strategies!"
"To be honest with General Gan, Ye has also been attracted to General Wei for a long time, but he never had the chance to meet! Now that General Gan is here in person, Ye will never refuse!"
Liu Ye actually agreed! Now it was Gan Ning's turn to be ecstatic.
Originally, the plan was to surrender Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, but I didn't expect Liu Ye to be on the ship!
Before, Gan Ning had no clue about the two scribes Liu Zhang was interested in, and he had already made plans to snatch them away if it didn't work out!
I didn’t expect that I would be unable to find anything even if I tried to break through iron shoes, but it would take no effort at all!
He conquered Zhou Tai, sent Jiang Qin away, and also captured Liu Ye.
"Okay, okay! My lord must be ecstatic to know that your husband is willing to go to Yizhou to help!"
Gan Ning never dared to forget the conversation between Liu Zhang and him. When Liu Zhang mentioned Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, both his look and tone were full of longing.
But the two scribes Liu Zhang mentioned were full of fervent expectations!
"General Gan, please follow me back home, pick up my mother and brother, and then go to Yizhou together."
"good!"
Liu Ye was able to offer to bring his family with him, which further proved his determination to be loyal to Liu Zhang, and Gan Ning could completely put his heart into his stomach.
"General Gan, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are so eye-catching that they may attract others' attention, so we should let them wait by the river."
"If you have nothing else to do, General, please come with me home. Once everything is settled on time, we will set off immediately."
There would be various problems when the family moved. In order to prevent accidents, Liu Ye could only ask Gan Ning to bring someone to protect them.
"no problem!"
Gan Ning naturally had no objections. Even if Liu Ye did not request, he would go there in person.
It's impossible for something to happen to Liu Ye on the way to Yizhou, then Gan Ning would really be to blame.
"Youping, Gongyi, I will lead a hundred people to follow Mr. Liu to pick up the old lady. I will ask you to take care of these brothers under me for the time being!"
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin nodded at the same time,
"Brother, don't worry. It happens that there are still some belongings in the water village that need to be packed away. Why don't we agree on a date and I will wait for brother by the river with Gong Yi."
“It couldn’t be better!”
After a discussion between the four of them, the time and place were finally agreed upon.
Then Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin led the Jiujiang water pirates and the soldiers of the Five Hundred Jinfan Battalion to temporarily leave.
Gan Ning and Liu Ye led one hundred Jinfan Battalion elites to Huainan.
With the departure of the two parties, the crisis on the ship was resolved, and the people on the ship could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
If Liu Ye hadn't bravely stood up to accuse the water thieves, and if Gan Ning hadn't suddenly killed them, it's still unclear what would have happened to these people.
On the boat, Gan Ning was still standing on the bow as usual, but he frowned slightly and seemed to be worried.
"General Gan, is there something bothering you?"
Liu Ye was good at observing words and expressions, and Gan Ning's unabashed expression was quickly recognized by him.
"good."
Gan Ning nodded helplessly. This matter not only bothered him, but he also had no clue.
