Gan Ning and Sima Yi kidnapped Huang Zu's warship and led 800 pirates to move to the river. They set up villages on a hilltop wrapped in reed ponds southeast of the Yangtze River. They regained the banner of Jinfan thieves and started a business of robbing families.

At this time, Gan Ning took away Jiangxia's armor, equipment and food warships, and he really wanted to have ships, food, soldiers, and people. His aura was not much better than when he was in his prime.

Gan Ning was reborn, and although he became a bandit again, he was no longer exploited by Huang Zu, which was also proud.

However, there was always a small bump in his heart, which was always surrounded by his heart, and inadvertently he always wanted to talk to him like others, but no one could say it.

But he was helpless. The eight hundred thieves under Gan Ning were all rash men, and they asked them to kill and rob, but if they really talked to them about serious things, it would be the same as farting on their pants, and they would not be useless.

Gan Ning had something to ask someone to talk to, but no one could talk to him. He felt very depressed, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately found the best candidate to listen to him.

This person is Sima Yi, who is now the adviser who is named Ma Yuan.

"Come, come and find Ma Yuan!" Gan Ning was happy when he thought that there was finally someone who could discuss major issues with him, and he couldn't help but order someone to find Sima Yi.

When he was young, he saw Sima Yi coming to the hall where the bandits gathered in Gan Ning. He said it was a hall, but it was actually a temporary wooden shed simple project.

"My benefactor, are you looking for me?"

Sima Yi finally ran out of Jiangxia City and left the dangerous situation full of enemies. Although he became a bandit, at least he didn't have to worry about safety issues for the time being.

And while hijacking the ship, Sima Yi saw Gan Ning's bravery and knew that although the thief who had crossed the Yangtze River in the past was from a green forest, his ability was extremely rare. Whether it was his own courage or the ability to coordinate his subordinates, he was indeed not inferior to that of a regular military general.

There are also the eight hundred water thieves with great combat power, especially the water battle, which made Sima Yi dizzy.

With such a person as his backer, and these 800 elites as their support, and with his own wisdom as his support, and the natural danger of the Yangtze River as a barrier, don’t say that he is temporarily protecting himself, even if it causes storms in Jiangnan, it may not be impossible.

Sima Yi is very familiar with Gan Ning now. After seeing the gift casually, he found a place to sit on the ground casually, and looked up at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning smiled at Sima Yi happily and said, "Ma Yuan, on the edge of the Yangtze River, the wind and rain are swaying, the weather is sometimes warm and sometimes cold, how about it? Can you still bear it?"

Sima Yi smiled slightly: "Thank you, my husband. I was not used to living two days ago. I was dizzy every day and always vomited. I have been much better these days and I can adapt. I am on the boat every day, blowing the river breeze and eating fish. I feel quite comfortable and comfortable!"

Gan Ning nodded and said, "That's good. Life by the river is hard, and I feel sorry for a literati like you. It really makes me feel sorry for you."

"What did my benefactor say? My life was saved by you, my benefactor. No matter how much suffering I suffer, it will be better than those who are dead. My benefactor should not be too disgusted with me."

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Seeing that you are quite energetic and have no complaints, I have let go of my heart... Ma Yuan, in fact, I came to you today. In addition to greeting you, there is something else I want to discuss with you."

Sima Yi laughed and said, "My benefactor has anything to say, but it's okay to say it."

Gan Ning touched the curly beard on his chin, thought carefully for a while, and then said slowly: "I listened to your words that day, kidnapped Huang Zu's old man's weapon ship, and entered the thief's way again. Although I was spitting out a moment of cowardly and looking for pleasure, I have always had a knot in my heart after thinking about it carefully these days... The brothers under my command are all rude, and I can't tell them together, so I can only come to discuss and discuss."

Sima Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "The knot in his heart, you can guess it without saying much. Could it be that you consider your future and future prospects for yourself and your brothers?"

Gan Ning nodded and said generously: "Talking to smart people is just a pleasure and no effort!... Not bad, it's actually nothing to be a thief. Drinking a big bowl of wine, eating meat with big chunks, sharing gold with big scales, not listening to anyone's words, not exercising anyone's orders, it's really a pleasure! But this thief's way is not a lifelong career after all. I'm young and strong now, and it's no problem to rob ships and grab goods, but what ten years later? Twenty years later? Thirty years later? When one day I'm old, I can't pick up a knife and can't rob people? So what should I do? This thief seems good now, but it's not a lifelong career. I have to think about some way out."

When Sima Yi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Just based on Gan Ning's words, it proves that he is definitely not such a careless and reckless man on the surface. He seems to have a strong sense of swearing, but in fact he has a lot of heart and eyes. He is definitely not as simple as a brave man, but he is a wise man.

Gan Ning picked up the big bowl beside him, took a sip of wine, and said, "Actually, in this chaotic era, being recruited by the official family as a thief is the best way out. This is also the biggest reason why I was involved in Huang Zu's hands. Unfortunately, the old boy Huang Zu did not make progress and did not like us. He forced me to enter the thief again, which was too unlucky... I am comfortable being a thief now, but I am not sure. I want to join the army again, and I have the lessons of Huang Zu's past, so I dare not make rash at will, so I am upset and want to find you to help me with the staff."

Sima Yi nodded and smiled and said, "My benefactor has a profound thought, and is definitely not comparable to ordinary green forests. I admire him. In fact, my benefactor doesn't have to worry too much. Being recruited by the official army and surrendering to the princes is not a mistake. It's just that my benefactor didn't choose the right person and found a fool like Huang Zu, who doesn't know heroes. Therefore, this happened. Last time in Jiangxia, I told you that the heroes in the world only recognize talents, but not the origin. Don't you see Zhang Yan joining Yuan Shang? Zhou Cang relies on Guan Yu?"

Gan Ning nodded after hearing this and said, "With your words, I feel a little more at ease. It is impossible to go to Huang Zu and Jingzhou again. In your opinion, which princes should I surrender to in the future?"

Sima Yi wanted to say that you would better take me back to Hebei, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

If the identity is leaked, what if Gan Ning catches him and seeks credit, it will be completely ruined.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Who is there any candidate you like in your heart?"

Gan Ning thought for a while and said, "Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu was in charge of six counties and eighty-one prefectures. After three lifetimes, the country is rich and the people are abundant, and the people are full of talents. How about it?"

Sima Yi thought about it and said, "My benefactor wants to surrender to Sun Quan because Sun Quan's power is Jiangnan and is chosen nearby. Although Sun Jian and Sun Ce are heroes, Sun Quan is still young after all, and he inherits the foundation and reputation of his father and brother. Although he commands Jiangdong, he has never done anything amazing. What if he is arrogant and like Huang Zu, what should be the benefactor? Should he abandon him and become a new wife? Again and again, he cannot be repeated. If the benefactor always acts like this, people in the world will think that the benefactor is a fickle villain. It will be difficult to choose a good leader at that time."

Gan Ning suddenly realized when he heard this. He nodded suddenly and said, "Yes, I'm too impatient! If I voted for the wrong Huang Zu, how can I go wrong in the next step? I must make careful choices... Otherwise, people in the world regard me as Lu Bu back then. No one dares to accept it, but I can only be a thief for the rest of my life."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "That's right, so if you want to choose a wise master, you must consider it carefully and never make any mistakes. In my opinion, the benefactor leads troops directly to surrender. No matter which princes it is, one cannot recognize the ability of the benefactor, and the other cannot see the sincerity of the benefactor clearly. This is not a good method. If we wait here for the princes to come and take the initiative to recruit guests, wouldn't it be a pleasure?"

When Gan Ning heard this, he was stunned and said strangely: "Sitting to wait for the help of me? Why did he say this?"

Sima Yi heard this and said, "Like today, all the princes are standing together and attacking each other. In addition to territory and power, can the benefactor know what they lack most?"

Gan Ning shook his head: "I don't know."

"Talent! The most fucking lacking talent for all the princes now is. If the benefactor can prove his strength and wait for the princes to recruit him, it will not be difficult?"

Gan Ning said: "In your opinion, how should I prove it?"

Sima Yi's eyes suddenly showed a bright light and said, "Fight! Fight on war! The princes of the world look at us differently! Since we have entered the thief path, we cannot be ordinary bandits who rob merchants and ships. If we want to be big bandits, we must be big bandits, and big bandits who can play a role in Linjiang's princes... Didn't the benefactor take the equipment and armor from Huang Zu? These things cannot be used for nothing. We armed the 800 warriors, in name, are thieves, but in fact they still act in the military style! Recruit soldiers, expand their power, and scatter the Yangtze River!"

Gan Ning was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "If it were like you, don't say it's Huang Zu. Then how could Liu Biao and Sun Quan use the Yangtze River as the auxiliary screen? How could we be so big? Will we send troops to suppress it at that time?"

Sima Yi suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "What he wants is to come and kill him. I said just now! If you want to wait for the recruitment, you must be on the battlefield! If they come and kill him, we will fight them back. If they fight back once, they may feel that they are underestimating the enemy. If they fight back twice, they will feel a little wary. If they fight back three times, they will definitely pay attention to us. If they fight back four times, they will definitely be anxious... If they fight back ten times, they will not care about us, and I will twist my head off and serve you as a stool!"

When Gan Ning heard this, he suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that the situation is that. As long as I prove my strength, it will not be that I surrender to them, but that they beg me to go over?"

Sima Yi said: "That's the reason."

The two were chatting, but suddenly heard a sparse footsteps coming from outside. A pirate hurriedly ran into the hall, bowed to Gan Ning, and said, "Brother, there is something wrong!"

Gan Ning opened his big eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

"When Huang Zu's husband saw us robbing ships and grain, he was angry and sent Zhang Kai, Wu Chi, Wu Tong, and Wang Yanxing to lead troops to come to the river to search for the expedition and suppression. At this moment, it is not far from our hiding place. Brothers want to ask the elder brother, should we hide first and avoid the limelight?"

Before Gan Ning could say anything, he heard Sima Yi beside him sneer and said, "This is a God-given opportunity, not to be missed. What should I hide? Fight! Fight! Fight four of them first and have a good start!"

The thief was stunned when he heard this and looked at Gan Ning in confusion: "Brother..."

Gan Ning snorted and said, "Look at me, what am I doing! Ma Yuan said that we will fight!"

Mizuze swallowed gently and whispered: "Listen to him?"

Gan Ning nodded heavily and said, "Of course! Listen to him!"

"But, brother, he is an outsider..."

"Fart!" Before he could finish his words, Gan Ning suddenly smashed the wine bowl in his hand and said angrily: "Who said he is an outsider? From today on, he will be your second brother!"

"Ah?" Sima Yi and the thief shook their bodies and almost fell to the ground when they heard this.

"Second brother?!" Sima Yi and the thief asked at the same time.

Gan Ning nodded heavily and said, "Tell me, from today on, Brother Ma Yuan will be our second leader, your second brother. When I was there, I will be led by me. If I am gone, your second brother will have the final say and understand whether you understand!"

The thief looked suddenly and nodded hesitantly.

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows: "I'm so stupid. Why are you standing there? Why don't you give your second brother a gift!"

Upon hearing this, the thief quickly got up and bowed to Sima Yi.

"Hello, second brother!"

"No, no!" Sima Yi waved his hand quickly and smiled bitterly to Gan Ning, "My benefactor, this is a bit inappropriate..."

Gan Ning laughed and patted Sima Yi on the shoulder: "There is nothing wrong. From today on, you will be my brother. From now on, we two brothers will share the same journey through thick and thin, and we will share the good and bad fortune. Among our group, you will have the final say except scolding me!"

Sima Yi hesitated: "But I have little experience..."

"Take it down, being a thief is not an official! Being an official depends on qualifications. Being a thief depends on talent. It has a bullshit relationship with qualifications. I think you have a very talented personality in being a thief. In the future, you will definitely be a thief! It has a future!"

"But...this is not good..."

Gan Ning glared at her eyes: "Nothing but! No matter how hard you are, you just look down on me! You hate others who look down on me the most, do you know?"

Sima Yi trembled all over and nodded helplessly, saying, "Since that's the case, I'll thank you for your kindness... No, thank you for your brother for your fulfillment..."

Gan Ning put away his anger, turned his face and laughed, and continued to pat Sima Yi on the shoulder and said, "Second..."

Sima Yi's face froze: "Brother, you can do whatever you call me, can you stop calling me a second child?"

Gan Ning heard this and said, "Why?"

"I don't know, I just feel a little awkward, it doesn't feel good..."

"Then, second brother, Huang Zu sent four generals to fight, and the troops must be several times that of ours. Although I am not afraid of them when fighting against Jiangshang, head-on conflict is not the best strategy. Second brother, what are you good at?"

Sima Yi sighed and said, "Brother, don't worry, I have been observing the water surface terrain around us these days. I have already made plans to keep a soldier without any effort. Kill the four generals under Huang Zu's command without leaving any armor."

Gan Ning was surprised when he heard this, then gave him a thumbs up and nodded and praised Sima Yi in admiration.
