Guan Yu returned to the front of the formation and asked with a cold eyebrow: "Where is Su Jing?"
Su Fei turned around and asked the deputy general: "Where is Su Jing? He was with the army just now."
"Captain, Su Jing just said he had abdominal pain and has disappeared..." the deputy general lowered his head and said.
Su Fei thought that he had been tricked now. No wonder this guy just suggested killing without mercy. It turned out to be something evil in his heart.
Su Fei said apologetically: "Fei was deceived by a traitor and almost made a big mistake. This is indeed my fault. Please Liu Shijun come back to Xiakou with me. I will hold a banquet to calm down the shock and find out the truth by the way." This matter."
Liu Bei was now outnumbered and could not fall out with Liu Biao. Facing Su Fei's invitation, he turned sideways and looked at Lan Tian.
Lantian shook his head slightly, and Liu Bei immediately said: "There are still many secular affairs in Xinye, and I plan to return immediately. I would like to ask the governor to write to the governor to find out whether he wants to kill Liu Bei, or someone is deliberately framed by the governor." ."
Su Fei was shocked when he heard that Liu Xuande had narrowly escaped death. Naturally, he could not let go quickly. There were angry eyes around him. Without a reasonable explanation, this matter would obviously not end well.
Su Jing held the tiger talisman as proof. Su Fei didn't know whether Liu Biao meant this, so he asked, "Did the Lord personally explain it?"
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "The prince is ill in bed and it is inconvenient to see guests. Zhang Hujun personally explained it."
"What does General Zhang have to say?" Su Fei asked.
"General Zhang said that Jiangxia was in great danger of being attacked by Sun Quan, so he sent me to command Prince Liu Pan's troops to help Prefect Huang defeat the enemy," Liu Bei said.
Su Fei was surprised and said: "No, this is not right. Young Master Liu Pan is in Changsha to contain Haihun Taishi Ci. It is absolutely impossible for the lord to dispatch troops to his place..."
Liu Bei said in his heart that I also knew something was wrong. Liu Pan's troops were not even seen at Hengsangkou. He curled his lips and said, "Is there something wrong with General Zhang Bi?"
"Xiakou is still at war, so you can go back to Xinye first. I will report this matter to Prefect Huang. I believe that the lord will give you an explanation." Su Fei said sincerely.
Liu Bei sighed: "It has to be like this. It's just a pity that the soldiers on both sides died unjustly..."
"Don't worry, I will send people to Xinye after the war and send money, silk, rice and food to support his family..." Su Fei said.
"Thank you, Governor Laosu." Liu Bei said and turned back to his horse.
Gao Shun's trapped camp retreated calmly, cutting off the rear for Lan Tian, Liu Bei and others.
When the two sides were about to leave, Lan Tian suddenly turned around and shouted: "General Gan, if you don't like what you want, you can come to Xinye."
Gan Ning and Su Fei turned their horses' heads after hearing this. Everyone was stunned, wondering what this person meant? He is so close to Liu Bei, and it seems that he is also a figure in Xinye.
Liu Bei asked in a low voice: "What does Ziyu mean?"
"General Guan, what do you think of Gan Xingba's martial arts?" Lan Tian asked Guan Yu beside him.
"Not bad." Guan Yu said lightly.
"Could it be that my brother-in-law has no intention of accepting such a brave general?" Lan Tian asked again.
"Of course I am happy to see Hunter, but he is the general of Jiangxia, and Huang Zu is suspicious by nature. Could Ziyu want to use a stratagem to alienate him?" Liu Bei asked confused.
Lan Tian shook his head and said: "I think Gan Xingba is very frustrated. If my brother-in-law is willing to treat Xian as a corporal, he may be able to persuade him to join me."
Can you tell so quickly that he is frustrated? And you said you have no ability?
"If Gan Xingba really comes to surrender, I will remember you as the first meritorious service. I am just afraid that this person will be harmed by Huang Zu..." Liu Bei sighed.
Lan Tian smiled and did not continue. He could not tell Liu Bei about Gan Ning's achievements. If this guy really left Jiangxia, how could Huang Zu keep him?
On the way Su Fei and Gan Ning returned to Xiakou, he saw the other party's face was full of sorrow, so he comforted him: "Xingba is still annoyed by what he said just now? What he brought out today is all my songs, and he will not go back and talk nonsense. ."
"Liu Xuande seemed to listen to that man's words. I don't know his name..." Gan Ning wondered.
"I heard that Liu Shijun paid homage to the military advisor Xu Yuanzhi in Xinye. This man had great strategic skills and helped him defeat Xiahou Dun. Maybe it was Xu Yuanzhi who spoke just now." Su Fei analyzed.
"With fierce generals like Liu Xuande, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun serving for him, and with resourceful people like Xu Yuanzhi supporting him, his ambition must be no small." Gan Ning said to himself.
Su Fei affirmed: "Liu Xuande can be regarded as a wise master, but it's a pity that he has not been lucky enough to find a place to settle down..."
After Gan Ning heard this, he remained silent. Seeing his expression, Su Fei suddenly asked, "Is it possible that Xingba intends to surrender to Liu Bei?"
Gan Ning shook his head and said: "A good bird breaks down a tree to roost. I want to observe and consider it again."
Su Fei said: "That's right. If you shot General Jiangdong before, the eunuch might look down upon you."
"I hope so." Gan Ning sighed.
Huang Zu sat in Jiangxia County and was Liu Biao's confidant. He was much better than Liu Bei in every aspect, but he did not attach great importance to Gan Ning.
The boat battle on the Yangtze River was fierce, and Sun Quan was fully committed to avenge his father. After several days of fierce attacks by Jiangdong navy, Huang Zu's navy was almost completely wiped out, and in the end he had to defend the city.
At this time, there was a rebellion in Shanyue behind Jiangdong. Sun Quan saw that it would be difficult to capture Xiakou in the short term, so he had to lead his troops back to Jiangdong to quell the rebellion.
After the war, Su Fei once again recommended Gan Ning to Huang Zu.
"Gan Xingba has a brave strategy, and the general can make good use of it." Su Fei said.
Huang Zu was depressed because of the defeat in the water battle. He shook his head and said, "I don't want to use you, but I don't dare to use you. Jiangxia is an important town in Jingzhou. My lord has entrusted me to guard this place. I must be cautious. This man had bad deeds when he was young." , I'm afraid that I might miss my big deal by using it..."
Su Fei knew that Huang Zu liked to use people from Jingchu and did not like to see outsiders like Gan Ning. He wanted to fight for him again, but Huang Zu said again: "Before, he cut off my queen for me and shot Jiangdong general to death. Duo Duo Just give him a generous gift..."
Su Fei knew that there was nothing he could do to persuade him, so he changed the subject and said, "I accidentally injured Xinye Liu Xuande last time, and I promised to send him some compensation..."
"That's your arrangement, I'm tired..." Huang Zu said lazily.
The failure of the water battle hit him hard, so all matters big and small were handled by the governor Su Fei.
At night, Su Fei invited Gan Ning to drink.
During the feast, he said under the influence of wine: "I recommended him several times, but the prefect refused to reuse him. How sad that the years have passed and I don't know how long the rest of my life will be? You should make plans early and find a wise master."
Gan Ning originally wanted to defect to Jiangdong, but because Huang Zu's troops at Xiakou blocked his way, he had no choice but to temporarily attach himself to Huang Zu's tent, but now he seems to have another choice.
"When will the people sent by the governor to deliver pensions to Xinye leave?" Gan Ning asked.
"We are preparing tonight and will leave tomorrow morning." Su Fei said.
"Can I send two people to accompany me?" Gan Ning asked.
"You're thinking..."
"Watch and observe again..."
Su Fei nodded and said, "That's fine."
After Liu Bei returned to Xinye, he praised Lantian highly. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others took turns to hold banquets to reward Lantian, so that he could only stay in the county town for a short time.
After the incident in Jiangxia, Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao based on Lan Tian's advice.
Some things must be stated openly, otherwise the other party will feel easy to bully.
At this time, Xinye's strength was weak and he could not break up with Liu Biao, but he had to strive for benefits as much as possible.
A few days later, Yi Ji and Jian Yong returned to Xinye, and they brought back Liu Biao's full sincerity.
