Since Gan Ning decided to become an official, he had a simple plan for his life.
Liu Zhang became famous at a young age, but he was no more than a weakling. He was already a shepherd of Yizhou, a general of Hanwei, and a county prince with the title of Marquis of Chengdu.
No matter how you look at it, Liu Zhang can be called a hero in troubled times, a rare hero in the world!
Gan Ning had great ambitions and an extraordinary desire to serve as an official. How could he not see this clearly?
Now he bent down to serve Zhao Wei, not because the conditions provided by Zhao Wei were good enough, but because he hoped to take this opportunity to show his abilities to Liu Zhang, and to increase his bargaining chips for surrendering to Liu Zhang in the future.
But contrary to expectations, Liu Zhang seemed not to have cared about Gan Ning and never sent anyone to contact him.
For more than ten days in a row, Gan Ning would ask the same question every day, and the soldiers under his command would be extremely embarrassed every time.
"General Gan, Liu Zhang... did not send anyone."
Gan Ning's eyes were obviously disappointed, which may mean that Liu Zhang didn't take him seriously at all.
If you go and surrender like this, you can imagine what kind of treatment you will get.
"It seems that General Wei doesn't know my name in Ba County, Gan Ning! Well, General Wei has been too successful in the past few years, so why not let me, Gan Ning, teach him a lesson so that he doesn't dare to underestimate the world's heroes? !”
Gan Ning is the kind of character who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. It would be better to just kill him if he is left unknown under Liu Zhang.
"No new grain has been shipped to Jiangzhou City for half a month, right? I estimate that Chengdu's grain ship will arrive within the next two days. Just wait and keep an eye on the Yangtze River, and I'll rob it then. I think Liu Zhang is in a hurry!"
No matter who the commander-in-chief is, as long as there is no food in the army, there is only one consequence, either mutiny or the bombing of the camp.
Gan Ning didn't believe that Liu Zhang could still fight without food!
"General Gan, aren't we going to surrender to Liu Zhang? If Liu Zhang is defeated by intercepting his supplies, then..."
The soldier did not continue, but the meaning was already obvious.
If Liu Zhang's supplies were cut off and he was defeated, the two sides would definitely become mortal enemies in the future.
Gan Ning snorted coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"He doesn't even look down on us, so why should we beg for mercy? I've made up my mind, all you have to do is follow my orders!"
"As you command!"
These soldiers were not sent to Gan Ning by Zhao Wei, but a group of eight hundred knights who were conquered by Gan Ning when he was young.
These eight hundred people are all very capable. Everyone is good at using swords and guns, and their water quality is excellent. They come and go without a trace on the Yangtze River!
It was precisely because of Gan Ning's eight hundred talented men that Zhao Wei personally recruited Gan Ning and entrusted him with important responsibilities.
One day later, as Gan Ning expected, a large amount of grain and grass arrived from Chengdu, and Gan Ning's subordinates also discovered this situation immediately.
"General Gan, Chengdu's military supplies are being transported on the Yangtze River, with hundreds of ships!"
Hundreds of ships transporting grain and grass must cost tens of thousands of people. The value of these grains and grass alone is enough to make people jealous.
"Okay! Brothers, everyone in the world calls us Jinfan Thieves. Today, we will also let General Wei see how powerful our Jinfan Thieves are!"
"Ho! Roar! Roar!"
Gan Ning's prestige among the eight hundred people was extremely high, and he immediately received everyone's response.
"Set off!"
Gan Ning took the lead and led his troops directly to the Yangtze River. Their ships were still hidden in the dark.
But although they are said to be boats, they are not actually boats at all. They are just bamboo rafts.
The eight hundred brocade sail thieves were extremely fast, and it didn't take long for them all to jump onto the bamboo raft.
The bamboo rafts were very big. There were about twenty people in each raft, and they soon occupied most of the river surface.
Under normal circumstances, the speed of sailing against the current must be extremely slow, but the bamboo raft is very fast in the hands of the Jinfan thieves, as if they are swimming down the river.
Gan Ning stood at the forefront of the bamboo raft. No matter the turbulent river water or the swaying bamboo raft, his stable body could not be shaken at all.
The bamboo raft had been soaked by the river water and its surface was very smooth. If you weren't careful, you would fall to the ground. But Gan Ning didn't care at all and remained as stable as a mountain.
Not long after, the Chengdu grain transport ship slowly appeared in Gan Ning's eyes. It is said to be a grain transport ship, but in fact it is not a ship at all, but a piece of bamboo raft!
But something unexpected happened.
All the bamboo rafts have docked at the shore, and farmers are carrying grain and grass to the land. Judging from the situation, it should have been almost moved.
"General Gan, it seems that General Wei doesn't care about us at all! He wants the food transport team to go overland to avoid the waters we control!"
The soldier's words did not make Gan Ning feel happy, but his face became more and more gloomy.
"Hmph! This Liu Zhang really bullied me too much! He only used more than a thousand people to transport food. He clearly doesn't take me, Gan Ning, seriously!"
Gan Ning's first thought when he saw this scene was anger!
Liu Zhang was obviously bullying him because he only knew how to fight on water but not on land!
"Soldiers, come ashore and let me grab this food and grass!"
Originally, Gan Ning just wanted to teach Liu Zhang a lesson so that the other party would not dare to look down upon him.
Liu Zhang's arrangement this time was clearly to look down on Gan Ning, and this became the spark that detonated Gan Ning's powder keg.
Gan Ning's prestige among the Jinfan thieves was immediately apparent. As soon as the general's order was issued, dozens of bamboo rafts immediately moved towards the shore.
The eyes of every Jinfan thief burst out with fighting intent. They tightened their weapons and were fully prepared to land for a battle.
However, when the Jinfan thieves appeared on the river, the grain transport troops had already discovered their traces. At this time, they accelerated their speed. Before the Jinfan thieves could reach the shore, they had all been transported to the shore. Evacuate along the main road.
"Damn it, he slipped away so fast!"
"Quick, speed up!"
Under Gan Ning's urging, it didn't take long for the Jinfan thieves to approach the shore, and then they all landed.
"General Gan, do you still want to pursue me?"
Away from the Yangtze River, the combat capabilities of the Jinfan thieves will indeed drop a lot. This is something that every Jinfan thieves recognizes.
Gan Ning also knew this truth before, but at this moment Gan Ning was blinded by anger and almost lost his mind.
"Chasing! I must teach Liu Zhang a lesson today!"
Gan Ning still took the lead and rushed forward. The other Jinfan thieves could not watch Gan Ning move forward alone, so they could only bite the bullet and continue deeper.
It can only be said that the grain transport team ran too fast. Gan Ning chased them with all his strength for a quarter of an hour before he just saw their tail.
"Stop, you can't escape!"
Gan Ning roared angrily, sped up again, and finally bit the end of the grain cart after dozens of breaths.
The scene that happened next shocked Gan Ning's jaw again. Including the civilian husband, all the grain transporters fled in all directions, and no one offered resistance at all.
Gan Ning intercepted hundreds of cartloads of grain with ease!
"General Gan, these Liu Zhang's subordinates are nothing more than this! They don't even dare to resist, they are just a bunch of cowards!"
"Hahaha, General Gan, we are rich!"
The Jinfan thieves shouted excitedly. They had already stepped forward to inspect it and found that the car was filled with food and grass!
Gan Ning's eyes showed disappointment again, Liu Zhangjun's performance was really disappointing.
