Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 542 Huang Zu and Gan Ning

Then Zhang Sui took a small boat back to the Wankou Port camp.

Zhang Sui immediately made a decision and prepared to go to Xiakou Port to find Huang Zu.

However, this time, he did not show up in person, just in case.

This time, Zhao Yun was the leader.

Zhang Sui Ze, Li Ru and Chen Dao served as personal soldiers and mixed in with the personal soldiers of the powerful people in Changshan County.

To be on the safe side, Lu Su brought a group of soldiers, about thirty people, all strong and healthy young men.

Zhang Liao was temporarily responsible for guarding the Wankou Port. Zhang Sui took Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Li Ru, Lu Su, the personal soldiers of the powerful people in Changshan County, and Lu Su's troops, and with Su Fei as a guide, they headed straight for Xiakou with less than a hundred people.

When we arrived at Xiakou, Xiakou was already ready for battle.

Countless soldiers came and went.

Many civilians also joined in and helped carry the defense tools.

Zhao Yun showed Su Fei the seal of the Lujiang Commandery Commandant and asked him to take it to find Huang Zu.

He, Zhang Sui and others were all surrounded by Xiakou's patrolling garrison.

After waiting for a while, Su Fei turned back and returned the seal.

Afterwards, surrounded by several patrolling guards, Su Fei took Zhao Yun, Zhang Sui, Li Ru and Chen Dao over there.

Lu Su and other personal soldiers and followers were stopped outside the military camp.

Zhao Yun looked around and whispered, "This Huang Zu seems to be well trained."

"If I hadn't seen the scene of Sun Ce's army taking over Lukou Port, I would have doubted whether Sun Ce could make it."

Su Fei whispered, "Huang Zu has been guarding Jiangxia for several years, and he is really good at training the navy."

"If it was five years ago, I'm sure Sun Ce wouldn't be able to defeat us."

"But now he is old and dim-witted."

"They have been relying on their old capital and have not improved the soldiers."

"The most critical issue is that he started to favor people based on personal connections."

"People from the Huang family have begun to occupy a large number of important positions."

"Moreover, in order to strike at the direct subordinates of Jingzhou Mu, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Huo Du, Huo Jun and others, he completely cut off contact with them."

"On the contrary, although Sun Ce is cruel, he has a strong ability to learn."

"In addition to training troops every day, he also promoted many young generals, and regardless of their status, he only judged them by their merits."

"Even if it was someone from a noble family, he just slaughtered their family members, but he still used them."

"This kind of broad-mindedness is incomparable to Huang Zu's."

"Sun Ce had a fierce general named Chen Wu, who was from Lujiang."

"Sun Ce attacked Lujiang that year and massacred people all around him, killing many Lujiang people, including Chen Wu's family."

"However, after Chen Wu surrendered to him, Sun Ce not only did not doubt him, but appointed him as Sima of another army."

"Many people have reminded Sun Ce to be careful, but Sun Ce never doubted Chen Wu."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's not surprising that Sun Ce has such a high status."

Su Fei nodded in agreement and said, "The one to compare him to is Huang Zu."

"My friend is young and promising, brave and invincible, good at naval warfare, skilled in archery, and never misses a shot."

"Huang Zu also met him before and praised his abilities."

"But he was not given any official position and was left to idle in the army."

Su Fei sighed, "And Huang Zu's eldest son Huang She, a mediocre man, was able to serve as the commander of such an important place as Xiakou."

The group remained silent.

Led by Su Fei, the group arrived at the center of Xiakou Wharf.

There, an old man in his fifties, wearing armor, was inspecting the fortifications of the dock, surrounded by generals.

A tall man in his thirties with a bell hanging around his waist.

While following the old man closely, the big man smiled and said something.

The bell around his waist kept making crisp clanging sounds.

However, no matter what the big man said, the old man remained indifferent.

The big man talked for a while, then stopped and looked at the old man with a look of despair. Su Fei saw the big man from a distance, with a sad look on his face, and said to Zhang Sui: "My friend hasn't left yet."

Zhang Sui and his companions looked at the big man.

Zhang Sui was stunned.

This big guy with a bell hanging around his waist!
This is quite a handsome guy.

Zhang Sui hissed secretly.

Sofei!

Sofei!

The name was so modern that he had forgotten it!
Isn’t this the person who recommended Gan Ning to Huang Zu?

He was also the person in history who made Gan Ning escape from Huang Zu and go to Sun Quan!

However, in history, Su Fei did not have any other outstanding performance except recommending Sun Ce to Gan Ning.

Therefore, there is not much ink.

So, he didn't care much about it.

Now looking at the big man, Zhang Sui had a strange look on his face and asked Su Fei, "Is your friend the Jinfan thief Gan Ning?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Sui in surprise.

They were all puzzled, how did Zhang Sui know Gan Ning?

You even know his nickname!

Su Fei was also a little surprised and said: "Master——"

Su Fei swallowed the word "gong" before he could say it. He suppressed his surprise and said, "It was him! But those were just the unbearable things that happened in his youth."

"He also realized his recklessness, so he left Yizhou and rushed to Jingzhou, where he began to study the Art of War."

"A very talented and strategic person."

Zhang Sui whispered, “Find a chance to stop him and tell him that he has a chance in Guangling or Lujiang.”

"Our navy lacks talent."

"As long as he rushes there, he will be at least a Sima of a separate department."

"If you perform well, it's not impossible for you friends to get together and become a captain or something."

Su Fei was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

After a while, he trembled and said, "Okay!"

The approach of Su Fei, Zhang Sui and others also attracted the old man's attention.

Seeing Su Fei, the old man smiled and left with the generals.

The big man ignored everyone, just lowered his head, and prepared to leave with a lonely look.

Seeing this, Su Fei hurriedly said, "Xing Ba!"

Xingba is Gan Ning's courtesy name.

Gan Ning heard the shout and looked over in confusion.

Seeing that it was Su Fei, Gan Ning's face lit up with joy and he quickly followed to greet him.

When the old man saw Gan Ning coming, his face fell.

However, he immediately regained his composure.

Su Fei didn't dare to say too much to Gan Ning, and just pointed to the ground.

Afterwards, he pointed at Zhao Yun and said to the old man, "Mr. Huang, this is Zhao Yun, the commander of Lujiang Prefecture."

He pointed at the old man and said to Zhao Yun and the others, "Captain Zhao, this is the governor of Jiangxia, Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia!"

Zhao Yun and Huang Zu saluted each other.

Huang Zu smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Yun, saying, "Captain Zhao, it's not convenient here. Can we talk while we walk?"

Zhao Yun nodded.

Gan Ning followed Su Fei and asked silently, "Who are these people? Where have you been for the past six months?"

Su Fei smiled slightly and replied silently, "It's a good thing anyway, don't leave, I'll tell you later."

Although Gan Ning was curious, he had no choice but to agree.
