Hearing Sun Jian's words, Baili Ming couldn't help but smile."
"How did the Jinfan thief offend the lord?”
As he spoke, he brought Sun Ce to Sun Jian's side and sat down.
It was fine if Sun Jian didn't hear this, but when he heard this, he said angrily,
Ruo Zhong, you don't know!"
"That Gan Ning kid really isn't human!”
"I don't know where they came from during this period of time!”
"Taking advantage of the fact that Jiangxia's defenses were not tight, they actually ran towards us along the river!”
"Now it's actually rooted in Peng Yize!”
"Ever since we got the Lu River, we have been harassing the merchants along the river bank!”
"Now, those ship merchants don't dare to run away. The rich people along the coast go to the county government every day to block the door!”
As he spoke, he picked up the silk book and pointed at the evidence on it.
"Look, how many times has this happened?”
"If this continues, not only will we suffer heavy losses, but I'm afraid the popularity of this Lujiang River will also drop greatly!”
Seeing this, Baili Ming simply took the silk book.
Looking at the reported losses and number of times, he immediately smiled again.
He hadn't expected Gan Ning to be so bold as to rob them.
He didn't look like he had any intentions. Instead, he looked like a bad boy who had been holding it in for too long and was releasing it crazily.
However, this was understandable.
After all, Gan Ning had come from Shu and had been a thief since he was a child. Although he had stopped robbing and had studied a bit, his temper hadn't changed.
At this time, he should have just resigned from Shu and turned into a bandit again.
After holding it in for too long, he naturally had to release it crazily!
It could be said that the current Brocade Sail Thief was at his most arrogant moment in his life.
At this time, if he didn't do this, there would be a problem!
Of course, Gan Ning hadn't been beaten up in the Jingzhou officialdom, so he probably didn't have the heart to pursue an official career.
Otherwise, when he heard the news of Sun Jian recruiting talents, he would have run over here a long time ago!
Thinking of this, his smile couldn't help but grow wider.
He didn't expect that the future number one general of River East would still be such a little brat. It was really hilarious.
However, he was smiling, and Sun Jian and his son were stunned.
Sun Jian could not help but wave at Sun Ce,"
"What's wrong with you today?"
"Why do you look like this?"
When Sun Ce heard this, he hurriedly said,"
"Father, I don't know either. It's been like this since early in the morning!”
"I don't know why!"
Since he knew Baili Ming's little secret, he naturally didn't dare to say anything at this moment!
However, Sun Jian was even more confused when he heard this. He simply asked,
"Advisor Jun, what are you laughing at?”
When Baili Ming heard this, he put down the silk book and said,
"I'm laughing at this Gan Xingba, he's really a talent!”
"My Lord, we can't kill this person. We have to think of a way to subdue him!”
"My lord, think about it. This person can dominate the Yangtze River with 800 soldiers!”
"If our army can subdue this person and build a navy with him, won't we be invincible on the Yangtze River?”
"That's true!"
Sun Jian nodded and said,
"Although this person is rampant, since he can break through the Jiangxia Navy, it's also a skill!”
"However, from his actions, I'm afraid he's an unruly person. Do you have any way to subdue him?”
Upon hearing this, Baili Ming pondered for a while and said,"
"My lord's words have troubled me!”
"Ming doesn't practice water battles. This person is extremely powerful in water battles. If I want to subdue him, I have to defeat him first.“
"This... This person could actually make the military counselor unable to think of a way to subdue him?”
Sun Jian and his son were shocked when they heard Baili Ming's words.
Ever since Baili Ming joined Sun Jian's army, he had been invincible!
Even a natural barrier like Lishui Pass could be broken through with a laugh.
And now, he had no way to deal with Gan Ning?
This was an unprecedented event!
When Baili Ming saw the surprised look on Sun Jian and his son's faces, he smiled and said,"
"Ming isn't a god. He always has weaknesses!”
"If this Gan Ning is a drought bandit, I have many ways to subdue him!”
"But he is a pirate. I really don't understand water warfare!”
"In order to subdue this person, we have to attack the army first and attack the heart second.”
"I can attack this person's heart, but I can't attack his army!”
"This is going to be difficult!"
Seeing Baili Ming expose his weakness, Sun Jian frowned and said,"
"Lu Kang does have a navy of 3,000, but they haven't been used for a long time. Their weapons and ships are abandoned, and their soldiers are slack.”
"Although I know the art of the troll army, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!”
When Sun Ce heard this, he also frowned.
Seeing this father-son relationship, Baili Ming smiled and said,
"My lord need not worry. I only said that I cannot break it, but I can recommend one person to my lord!”
"This person will definitely help our army subdue Gan Xingba!”
"Oh?"
Sun Jian's eyes lit up.
"Who is it?"
When Baili Ming heard this, he pointed at Sun Ce and said with a smile,"
"I still need Bofu to help me with this matter!”
"Bofu?"
Sun Jian was stunned when he heard that. He turned to Sun Ce and said,"
"You can defeat Gan Ning?"
When Sun Ce saw this, he was instantly dumbfounded.
"I don't know how to use trolls!"
"It's better for father to fight!"
"Military Advisor, don't fool me!"
Seeing this, Baili Ming smiled and patted Sun Ce's shoulder."
"You fool, how could you forget why I called you that day?”
"This…"
When Sun Ce heard this, he could not help but lower his head. Then, he suddenly raised his head and said,
"The person Mister is talking about, could it be Gongjin?”
"Zhou Yu?"
Sun Jian was shocked. He looked at Baili Ming and said,
"Military advisor, that Duke of Zhou Jin is the same age as Ce 'er, can he really take on this great responsibility?”
"Sure!"
Baili Ming nodded firmly and said,
"The only person who can defeat Gan Ning is Duke of Zhou Jin!”
He hadn't met Zhou Yu before, but based on his understanding of him, he was now strong enough to fight Gan Ning!
After all, Sun Ce was able to raise an army at the age of seventeen because of Zhou Yu's help!
And Zhou Yu himself was a genius in water battles!
Not using a genius, but thinking hard about it, that did not conform to his own energy-saving thinking!
"Alright then!"
Seeing Baili Ming's firm tone, Sun Jian pondered for a while and said,"
"Since Ruo Zhong is so certain, then our army will recruit Zhou Yu to give it a try!”
He looked at Sun Ce and said,"
"Ce 'er, didn't Advisor Jun ask you to write a letter to summon Zhou Yu? Is there any news from Zhou Yu?”
"This... I seem to have forgotten…"
Before Sun Ce could finish his sentence, he suddenly shrunk his head and dodged Sun Jian's slap.
Before Sun Jian's palm could land, he glared and said,"
"Unfilial son, you still dare to dodge!"
"I told you to do a small thing, but you can't even do it well!”
When Sun Ce saw this, he immediately ran behind Baili Ming and said to Sun Jian with a bitter smile,"
"Father, I know my mistake!"
"I was just saying it casually that day. I was too busy and forgot about it!”
Seeing this, Sun Jian was about to curse, but Baili Ming had already persuaded him,
"Forget it, forget it. Lord, I was indeed speaking casually that day. It's normal for Bofu to forget!”
"However, it's good that Duke of Zhou Jin didn't come. His father, Zhou Shang, is currently an official in Dan Yang and has some soldiers!”
"Why don't we write a letter now and ask him to lead some navy from Pill Sun to the north while we lead the army to the south? We can join forces and fight Gan Ning together!”
"Alright!"
Sun Jian listened to this compromise and nodded. Then, he glared at Sun Ce and said,
"If it weren't for the military counselor blocking me, I would have skinned you!”
When Sun Ce heard this, he laughed again, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Sun Jian looked at his son and sighed again. He couldn't do anything about it. He had to leave it to Baili Ming.
With this thought in mind, he asked Baili Ming,"
"Then in your opinion, how many soldiers should we send for this battle?”
"Oh!"
Baili Ming pondered for a while and answered,"
"40,000 people then!"
"What?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Sun Jian and his son's eyes widened as they said,"
"40,000?"
"Yes! 40,000!"
Baili Ming nodded.
"Isn't this too much?"
Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and said,"
"Gan Ning only has 800 men, and we have 40,000. We're not going to make up for the loss of rations!”
Sun Ce also said,
"Yes, sir, 40,000 people is indeed a little too much!”
But when Baili Ming saw this, he shook his head and smiled.
"Not much, not only not much, but slightly less!”
As he spoke, he looked at Sun Jian and his son and said,
"We're going south to attack Gan Ning just to clear the waterway!”
"Once the waterway is cleared, our army can go south and seize the land of River East!”
"Military Advisor, you mean that our army can attack River East?”
When Sun Jian heard this, he immediately said happily,
"I just don't know where our army is going to attack in River East.”
When Sun Ce heard that they were going to attack River East, he immediately looked over.
Facing their gazes, Baili Ming shook his head and said,"
"Our army isn't attacking River East, but the entire River East!”
"The time is ripe now. As long as our army can fight well, we can conquer River East!”
"What is it? A single battle to settle River East?"
Hearing this, Sun Jian and his son were once again shocked, and they revealed expressions of disbelief.
The entire River East still had four large counties, spanning nearly a thousand miles. How could they conquer it in a single battle?
