After Liu Zhang read Gan Ning's handwriting, he no longer discussed his thoughts on dealing with the Nanman and immediately dismissed the regular meeting.
Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Liu Ye, Lu Su!
Unexpectedly, I gave Gan Ning four names, and he actually found them all!
Liu Zhang was so excited that he even wondered if God had given him, a time-traveler, a gift package for the novice stage!
Directly package two civilizations and two martial arts!
Needless to say, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, as Jiang Biaohu ministers, are definitely quasi-first-class generals, and can also make up for Liu Zhang's shortcomings in the navy.
Liu Ye, Lu Su!
Liu Zhang couldn't even imagine getting two of them at the same time!
When he first sent Gan Ning to Yangzhou, he didn't have high expectations for either of them.
The main purpose was for Gan Ning to recruit Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin who were still robbing houses on the river.
For Liu Ye and Lu Su, they are completely in the mindset of giving it a try.
Liu Ye and Liu Zhang were both members of the Han clan, and Liu Zhang still had a glimmer of hope.
But I had never thought about Lu Su at all.
The Lu family in Dongcheng County is a wealthy family. How could Lu Su give up his foundation and not come to Yizhou?
It is said that if you have expectations, you will be disappointed. Unexpectedly, Gan Ning not only did not disappoint Liu Zhang, but actually fulfilled Liu Zhang's extravagant hopes!
"My lord, it's rare to see you so excited."
Jia Xu, who was standing next to Liu Zhang, looked sideways slightly. He felt that Liu Zhang seemed to be a little too excited!
"Hahaha! Wen He, you don't know what Gan Ning has brought to us!"
What are the labels of Liu Ye and Lu Su?
Strategist!
Whether it is Jia Xu, Xun You, Zheng Du, Zhang Song and others, they can only be called military advisors and planners.
Jia Xu's strategy grew stronger, and Xun You's military strategy grew stronger. From the beginning to the end, they were executing the strategy formulated by Liu Zhang.
In other words, in the Liu Zhang Group, the strategist is Liu Zhang himself.
Does Liu Zhang have the talent of a strategist?
In fact, there is none at all. He just relies on historical experience and continues to repeat the path to success.
But Liu Ye and Lu Su are different. They are true strategists who can point out the best path for power development at critical moments.
To give a simple example, even if Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were exchanged for Lu Su and Liu Ye, Liu Zhang would refuse without hesitation.
Strategists are too scarce. Whether every prince can develop and grow depends on a strategist.
Cao Cao had Xun Yu, Yuan Shao had Ju Sue, Liu Bei had Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan had Zhou Yu and Lu Su.
It is these strategists with unique vision that allow the monarch to continuously gain the upper hand on the road of expansion.
Before Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, he was beaten by Cao Cao and fled in embarrassment because he didn't know what he should do or how to develop. But after getting Zhuge Liang, he immediately rose to prominence and even defeated Cao Cao head-on in the Battle of Hanzhong.
Liu Ye's reputation is not great, but he is known as a genius who can seize any opportunity!
Historically, during the battle between Liu Bei and Lu Xun at Yiling, Liu Ye suggested to Cao Pi that he should immediately mobilize all his troops and join forces with Liu Bei to attack Soochow.
Unfortunately, Cao Pi refused to listen and insisted on sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight, thus missing the best opportunity to destroy Sun Quan.
Even until his death, Cao Pi was unable to make any further achievements. Not only did his son Cao Rui suffer, but he also allowed the Sima family to instigate power in the end.
If Cao Pi followed Liu Ye's strategy, Soochow would definitely not be able to face the combined forces of Cao and Liu, and its destruction would be certain. After destroying Soochow, would Liu Bei still be spared?
The answer is definitely not!
The strength of Liu Bei's group was greatly reduced due to the loss of Jingzhou and the death of Guan Yu, and they were even less able to fight against Cao Wei on their own.
Liu Ye's plan could have given Cao Pi a chance to unify the world, but he missed it and ruined Cao Wei's empire.
Lu Su was even more extraordinary. He was regarded as a close confidant by Sun Quan and was the first to propose a plan to divide the world into two! At that time, Zhuge Liang was still farming in Longzhong!
Almost every step of Sun Quan's strategy was planned by Lu Su, including attacking Jiangxia and killing Huang Zu. Later, he fought fiercely in Chibi and fought with Liu against Cao!
Maybe Zhou Yu could do this for Sun Quan, but how long did Zhou Yu live?
After getting these two people, even if Liu Zhang has nothing to do from now on and guards his own one-third of an acre of land, he will be able to sit back and relax for decades to come!
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Gan Ning and Jin Fanying gradually appeared, and Liu Zhang was even more delighted!
"Lord!"
Gan Ning got off his horse when he was far away, then quickly ran to Liu Zhang and knelt down on one knee to salute.
"Gan Ning, fortunately you have lived up to your fate!"
Liu Zhang quickly lifted Gan Ning up. This time Gan Ning really accomplished a great feat!
"Xing Ba! Thank you for your hard work!"
After scanning Gan Ning, Liu Zhang couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun who was standing aside.
If it weren't for Zhao Yun's amazing bow and arrow, grass would have grown on Gan Ning's grave! Not to mention Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Liu Ye, and Lu Su!
Soon, four more people walked up to Liu Zhang and took the initiative to salute.
"Meet General Wei!"
"Please get up!"
Liu Zhang was not stingy with his hands and helped everyone up personally.
"The four of you have traveled thousands of miles and left their homes and careers to come to Yizhou to help. Liu Zhang is truly grateful. Please accept Liu Zhang's respect!"
"How dare we accept General Wei's gift!"
Zhou Tai and the four others were flattered and bowed to the end, thanking Liu Zhang in return.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and exchanged greetings for a while before they subsided.
Lu Su and Liu Ye's eyes were full of relief. Ever since they stepped into Yizhou, it was hard for them to calm down.
After all, Liu Zhang was one of the top people in the world, and they were all unknown pawns, and they were all underage.
But at this moment, all the uneasiness and fear in my heart disappeared!
There is only happiness and relief in my eyes!
They both sighed at how wise they were and followed Gan Ning to Yizhou.
Even just looking at Liu Zhang's humility and attitude, Lu and Su knew that their choice was right.
"My lord, this is Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping, and this is Jiang Qin and Jiang Gongyi."
After greetings, Gan Ning took the initiative to step forward and first introduced two generals to Liu Zhang.
"Meet General Wei!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Looking at the rough faces of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, especially the scars on Zhou Tai's face, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel fond of him. He said three good words in a row!
Without being exposed to wind and sun on the river all year round, my skin would definitely not be like this.
"Both of you are fierce generals who can control the Yangtze River. In the future, my navy will depend on you!"
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were immediately overjoyed. Liu Zhang actually gave them such a big surprise!
"I will wait until death!"
"Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin listens to the order!"
The two of them quickly knelt down on one knee and waited anxiously for Liu Zhang's appointment.
"This general will designate Zhou Tai as the captain of Zhechong and Jiang Qin as the captain of Hengshui. The two of you will join the Jinfan camp as deputy generals and train the navy together with Gan Ning!" "Thank you, my lord!"
With such a large reward, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin no longer hesitated and knelt down to acknowledge their master.
