Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 346 The dragon enters the sea

The Shanyue people were gearing up and were very happy, feeling that they finally had a chance to avenge their shame. ▲𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑔𝑙𝑒 Search for 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑜𝑚Read▲

After all, if the calculation is taken seriously, the Sun family's first victory in Jiangdong was contributed by Shankoshi.

Before Sun Ce could stand on his own under Yuan Shu, he was sent by Yuan Shu to join his uncle in Danyang, where he recruited local warriors.

At that time, Zulang from Shanyuetou led his troops to attack Sun Ce several times, and twice even forced Sun Ce to the point of danger.

The little overlord was furious and went to Yuan Shu to ask for his father's old troops such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others. This began the history of unilateral friction against Shanyue.

Zu Lang, who almost killed Sun Ce, was quickly defeated by the regrouped bully and surrendered.

Later, although the little overlord had an accident, the news that Zhou Gongjin was in red cliff and Cao's army was scurrying away in flames filled the sky made Shan Yue even more frightened.

Although Zhou Gongjin also had an accident later, Jiangdong, which had become completely powerful, was no longer a force that Shan Yue dared to look at.

But at this time, the people at the top of the mountain summed up:

Both the father and brother of Marquis Sun and that Lang of Zhou died in accidents.

Then Marquis Sun is now...

The heads looked at each other, with some thoughts that could not be elaborated in their eyes, but all these were suppressed by Ma Liang:

If you want to conquer Jiangdong, you still have to wait for the opportunity.

Ma Liang was very calm and didn't say much. He just said that now was not the right time to raid Jiangdong.

After finally making a decision, but having to wait, the leader named Fei Zhan could no longer hold himself back:

Mr. Ma, now the whereabouts of two generals in Jiangdong are unknown and people are panicking. How can it not be considered an opportunity?

Of course it doesn't count. After all, the Jiangdong Army has just set off, and some of the follow-up troops haven't even set off yet.

If Shan Yue was in trouble at this time, Jiangdong's army could easily turn around and wipe out Shan Yue who was coming down the mountain. This was what Ma Liang did not want to see.

Of course, the most appropriate time is when Jiangdong's army is unable to advance or retreat in Jingzhou, and then suddenly attacks and hits the target with one blow.

However, these can be postponed and explained to Shanyue in detail. At this time, after hearing what Fei Zhan said, Ma Liang didn't mind hearing the gossip at all:

The two generals are missing?

Tell me?

Fei Zhan didn't dare to neglect, so he racked his brains and explained clearly what he knew about the situation:

The day before yesterday, two of my men brought money to Guling to buy salt.

Ma Liang knew that there was basically a shortage of everything in Shanyue except for some mountain goods.

It’s easy to say other things, but salt is really a necessity of life.

Moreover, buying salt in Shanyue is relatively simple. The northeast direction of Kuaiji is the seaside. Several nearby counties all produce salt, and there are many private salts. It is very convenient to buy and sell in Shanyue.

When Ma Liang was short of something, he would ask Shan Yue to go to these counties to buy it.

In a place like this, news also circulates very quickly. For example, Fei Zhan's men heard in the city that Marquis Sun was furious in Jianye City. People in the whole new city were panicked, and soldiers came in and out very frequently.

Although there was no official news in the end, a statement soon spread from Jianye:

Two generals turned their backs on their master and seemed to have gone to Duke Xuande in the west.

Fei Zhan's words were confusing, but Ma Liang could also guess a rough idea:

If it is true, Sun Quan was unwilling to issue an edict to arrest those who were named and pursue them with documents. It can be seen that the status of these two generals should not be low, and they are definitely not like school captains or army commanders.

Sun Quan was silent, but the news could still reach here easily, most likely because someone with a big name was secretly fueling the fire.

The war had just started, but he disappeared at this time, which shows that he did not agree with Sun Quan's plan to plot Jingzhou.

Ma Liang immediately thought of Lu Su, but he was quickly rejected.

Lu Zijing is a man of great wisdom, how could he act so recklessly?

While Ma Liang shook his head and laughed at his own thoughts, Lu Su stood on the bow of a small boat and looked at the boundless sea, feeling confused.

Since Zhou Gongjin's death, he has never felt that a moment could make him so powerless as now.

I still remember that two years ago, he had a very clear plan for Jiangdong's future.

Alliance with Liu to reject Cao and conquer the Central Plains.

Inherit Gong Jin’s legacy and build a great cause for the world.

But slowly, this plan, which had been deliberated for a long time, gradually developed out of control.

First of all, Liu Bei grew rapidly and quietly took Yizhou and even Hanzhong.

When he first heard about it, Lu Su had mixed feelings about the news.

I not only admire Kong Ming's ability, but also feel happy that he can defeat Cao, but also worry that Jiangdong can't keep up with Uncle Liu Huang.

Therefore, there was a bloody banquet at Jianye to admonish the lord, and he sent troops to Hefei to explore the north.

But the results of the battle under Hefei City deeply shocked Lu Su, and made Lu Su bitterly recognize his biggest shortcoming.

Gong Jin used 30,000 troops to defeat Cao Cao's army of hundreds of thousands at Chibi.

Guan Yu used 30,000 troops and Jing Xiang defeated Cao Cao's army of nearly 100,000 men.

With one hundred thousand troops, Hefei was defeated by eight thousand cavalry.

When Gong Jin was there, he did not realize that the Jianghuai soldiers were weak, but the Battle of Hefei made Lu Su clearly see the differences in the generals of the three parties, and Jiangdong was undoubtedly the last.

But this is not a problem for Lu Su. If the soldiers are weak, they can spy and learn Guan Yu's military training methods. If the general is weak, he can order a small number of soldiers to march over the mountains to train troops.

Jiangdong also has its own advantages, with rich grain production and famous bows and soldiers.

But what Lu Su didn't expect was that after the Battle of Hefei, it was Lu Meng who replaced him in Jiangxia. He was left in Jianye by Sun Hou and became idle.

Lu Su carefully summarized the gains and losses, wrote a long memorial, criticized the current shortcomings in Jiangdong, and formulated a method for strengthening the army in Jiangdong.

As soon as Marquis Sun comes to visit, he will present it to his lord, and he will surely help him conquer the world!

But Gan Xingba's visit on New Year's Eve shattered all Lu Su's plans.

It seems that Hefei's defeat also stimulated the lord, but the strategy he chose was far from Lu Su's plan.

Alliance with Cao to control Liu...ha! Why doesn't my lord understand that Cao Cao occupies such fertile land as the Central Plains and Jizhou, and if he joins forces with Cao Cao to destroy Liu, what will Cao Cao do if Liu is destroyed?

This is tantamount to seeking the skin of a fox in order to obtain its fur!

Steady footsteps came from behind, and a strong figure wrapped in fox fur stood beside Lu Su.

After a moment of silence, the figure slowly said:

Having lived in the east of the Yangtze River for a long time, I now know how vast the sea is.

This simple sigh made Lu Su angry:

Gan Xingba!

Gan Ning raised his eyelids, dug his ears impatiently and said:

I'm not old yet, Zijing doesn't need to be so loud.

Lu Su couldn't wait to draw his sword, so his words became more and more rude:

Are you not ashamed?

Gan Ning looked at the sea, and what came to mind were a few letters from his son Gan Gui.

This son, who has a temperament quite similar to his, mocked him loudly in his last letter:

The fish and turtles are trapped in the rivers, and the dragons swim in the sea.

He also said that sooner or later, Gan Gui would dominate the sea.

Now that he saw the sea and thought of his son's words, Gan Ning felt a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, even if Lu Su angrily asked him Have you no shame, Gan Ning could not feel any anger in his heart.

I am not a slave of Marquis Sun.

Gan Ning's words have a sense of being taken for granted:

Since Marquis Sun doesn't believe me and his love will be suspicious of me, then I would rather not take a cent from Jiangdong and return home, why should I be ashamed?

Lu Su sneered:

Returning to your hometown? Didn't you defect to Liu Bei?

Gan Ning also sneered:

After I return to my hometown, how I stay is a private matter.

After saying that, he turned his attention to the sea again, thinking that if he was going to sail on the sea, the ship should also make some changes.

Just like their small boat at this time, they could only go south along the coast and did not dare to go too far from the shore.

You also know that staying or leaving is a private matter. Why should I blame you?!

There was even a sense of grievance in Lu Su's voice. Although it was not done voluntarily, it was probably no different to Sun Hou. How could he gain a foothold in Jiangdong after his reputation had been ruined for several years?

Idiot!

At this time, a powerful shout came from the cabin, interrupting the confrontation at the bow.

So Lu Su's anger immediately subsided, and he went into the cabin to talk to his mother.

Gan Ning never thought that an old woman could be so decisive.

After New Year's Eve, Lu Su's mother sent a secret letter to Gan Ning through people close to her.

In the letter, Lu's mother sincerely requested Gan Ning to take Lu Su away from the land of right and wrong.

She saw her son's pain in her eyes, and she could also feel the strangeness of Bo Yun in Jianye City.

It's not that she knows much about the world's major events. This mother just made a decision that she didn't want her son to suffer.

It is better to leave Jiangdong and find a good land, whether it is to teach and educate people incognito, or to change one's identity and find another place, than to waste all the hard work because of the Sun Hou's preference.

For Gan Ning, returning to his hometown has always been a long-cherished wish. Since he can still respect him now, is there any reason not to do so?

For Gan Ning, how to win over Lu Su is also very simple:

Just take Lu's mother as a pledge.

After all, Lu Su is a man of pure filial piety. Wherever his mother is, he will be there.

Hmm... It seems to be similar to the Military Advisor Xu that my son mentioned.

As for the reputation that was damaged due to this... Gan Ning scoffed:

I still care about this?

Besides, if his son sails a boat to conquer Jiangdong in the future, and he becomes a hindrance to his son in Jiangdong, that would be stupid.

Therefore, Gan Ning acted extremely resolutely, taking advantage of the new year when the old lady was out of the city to worship her ancestors, and robbed people and left.

The escape method was also prepared for a long time. He paid a lot of money to hire a dozen boats to sail up the river to the east. Gan Ning personally drove the boat and hid in Zhenze. After evading two rounds of searches, he drove the boat across the Songjiang River and into the sea to go south.

Looking at the vast ocean during this time, Gan Ning felt that his gloomy mood had broadened a lot.

He even took the initiative to arouse Lu Su's anger, finding it quite amusing.

Xingba, how far is it to the South China Sea?

Listening to the old lady's question in the cabin, Gan Ning changed his casual attitude and replied respectfully:

Old madam, according to the speed of our waiting ship, we should be able to reach Panyu in six or seven days.

Jiaozhou also has several counties, and Panyu is located at the junction of Nanhai County and Cangwu County.

Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu, and Lai Gong, the governor of Jiaozhou, both had close relationships with Liu Bei.

This is not considered confidential information within Jiangdong, so Shixie's attitude towards Jiangdong is also very ambiguous, indifferent.

In Gan Ning's view, Jiaozhou was considered a stable place, and he could wait for the war to subside.

As for telling the name of his son Gan Gui... Gan Ning said that he would rather be captured by Sun Hou than lose this person.

That's good... The voices in the cabin calmed down.

Then Gan Ning heard Lu's mother talking to Lu Su in a low voice.

In order to avoid suspicion, Gan Ning simply moved further away from the cabin and picked up a fishing rod to fish for leisure.

This boat has been in preparation for some time, so it has everything you need.

Everything is prepared, from the bows and crossbows used to repel the pursuers to the fishing rods and nets used to provide food.

The farther south we go, the more intense the sun seems to be, making Gan Ning feel a little drowsy.

However, hearing the slow footsteps lingering beside him, Gan Ning also woke up from his drowsiness:

Want a shot?

Lu Su silently picked up a fishing rod, picked up a small shrimp hanging on the fishing net next to him, flexibly threaded it on the fishhook, and then threw it out.

Good shot! Gan Ning cheered.

Lu Su smiled stiffly, and the bow of the ship fell into silence. After a while, he said:

I lost my father when I was young, so I was raised by my mother. At that time, my fellow villagers would go fishing for shrimps in the river to make ends meet.

I felt tired from my studies at that time, so I went with them just for fun.

At that time, I discovered that I was very good at using the rod, but I caught four fish in one afternoon. The villagers praised me a lot, and I was very proud of it.

Then……

Then your butt was cracked, right? Gan Ning gloated.

Lu Su was suffocated, glanced angrily and said:

My mother is really concerned about my studies.

Then he said quietly:

How can I not know what my mother is worried about? It's just...

Gan Ning shook his head and interrupted Lu Su's emotion:

Fishing!

Lu Su choked again, but quickly pulled the fish up.

Haiyu was quite strong, so Gan Ning came over to help and casually said:

Zijing secretly hates that he can't be like Gong Jin and live in Zhenjiangdong so that the old lady can live a stable life. I understand.

The old lady is worried that her son, Jing Jing, is haunted by sorrow and jealousy, and is depressed and frustrated. I also understand.

After saying this, Gan Ning also became unusually sad, shook his head and said:

The old lady's respect for mother and son is enviable.

Gan Ning said this sincerely, because he thought of his parents who passed away long ago, and wondered if Gan Gui repaired his ancestral graves after returning?

But thinking of his son, Gan Ning couldn't help but smile on his face.

On the other hand, Lu Su, who is still unmarried, is stronger in this regard.

What are the general's plans after arriving in Panyu? This time it was Lu Su who took the initiative to ask.

Gan Ning was very surprised:

Is Zijing finally relieved?

Upon hearing this, Lu Su glanced at Gan Ning and then punched Gan Ning on the shoulder:

This matter has been wiped clean.

There was a soft force on his shoulder, but Gan Ning cooperated and hugged his shoulder and cried out in pain.

Seeing the helplessness on Lu Su's face, Gan Ning burst into laughter, and soon Lu Su also laughed out loud.

The sea fish that was taken off the hook turned over with strength and fell back into the sea with a splash.

But no one on the ship cared anymore.

In the cabin, Mother Lu finally smiled as she listened to her son's laughter.
