A medium-sized warship accelerated, heading in the same direction as Sun Ce's Fengwu ship, slowly approaching. The ship dropped the cables, tightly fixed the warship on the ship, and then lowered the gangway.

"Zishan, please." Gan Ning stretched out his hand to signal, smiling.

Bu Zhi shook his hand repeatedly, stretched forward with one hand and lighted Toganing's elbow with the other. "Please ask the governor, please ask the governor."

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows. "Zishan, when you arrive in front of the king, you can't mention the word "Governor". Otherwise, Uncle Mizi would have given me my qualifications."

Bu Zhi laughed, but did not answer. Gan Ning was the navy commander, and in private he was upgraded to the commander-in-chief according to the military habits, just like calling the captain a general. However, when he came to Sun Ce, such a habit naturally had to be changed. Moreover, Mi Fang is now the navy commander of the central army, and Gan Ning is the governor of the governor, which means to suppress Mi Fang. Even if Gan Ning is arrogant and wants to be the governor of the navy, he dare not dare to blatantly raise hatred so blatantly.

Gan Ning slid the sea-blue cloak and stepped up the gangway. Although the gangway was up and down and not stable, Gan Ning was as if he was walking on the flat ground. He was a little inferior, but he just stretched out a hand and held the gangway without any fear. After a few years of life at sea, he was no longer a scholar, but a powerful general of Kong Wu.

When the two got on the boat, they saw Mr. Bu Lian in close-fitting clothes standing at the entrance of the gangway, followed by two female guards, holding a small desk in their hands. Seeing Gan Ning, Bu Zhi walked over, Mr. Bu Lian took a step forward and bowed his body to salute.

"According to the order of the king, welcome the governor of Gan and the governor of the throne. Thank you for your hard work, please drink a drink."

Gan Ning was surprised and quickly swept Bu Lianshi's face, then looked at Bu Zhi again, and his eyebrows raised. Bu Lianshi was about to enter the Palace of Wu. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for him to stand here to greet any general. If he had such treatment, he was obviously benefiting from Bu Zhi's glory.

Bu Zhi was also surprised and excited. Bu Lianshi appeared here, indicating that the last seat in the Wu Palace was from the Bu family. He exchanged glances with Bu Lianshi and signaled her to toast Gan Ning first. Bu Lianshi understood it and turned around to signal the female guard to come forward to toast. Gan Ning took the wine and drank it. Although it was light wine, it was not very strong, but it was refreshing and pleasant. He was in a good mood. He became polite and bowed to salute.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, the girl." He waved his hand again, took two brocade boxes from his personal guard and placed them on the table.

The female guard was happy. Everyone knew that Gan Ning was extravagant. Although the brocade box was small, the things inside were not cheap. She thanked her quickly and retreated behind Bu Jie. Another female guard stepped forward and toasted Bu Jie. Bu Jie also took the gift he carried with him and placed it on the table.

Mr. Bu bowed again and led the female guards to retreat. Gan Ning and Bu Zhi took a step forward, went to Feilu, came to the front cabin, and bowed to the front.

"The navy commander Gan Ning, please see the king."

"The navy is pretending to supervise the marching commander, please see the king."

The Lang Guan on duty nodded and was about to go in and report, when Zhen Xiang greeted him. "Second Supervisor, please come in, the king is waiting for you."

Gan Ning and Bu Zhi did not dare to neglect, so he walked into the cabin sideways and saw Sun Ce and others standing around a huge wooden sand table. In addition to Guo Jia and several military plots, the generals of the central army, Mi Fang and Chen Jiao were also there. Sun Ce held the case with both hands, staring at the sand table without looking back. "Xingba, why are you rubbing? You can still use makeup for so long? Just your robber face can become a great charity?"

The generals laughed, Gan Ning felt a little embarrassed, and squeezed away everyone, came to Sun Ce, and bowed: "King, you can be more casual in the army on weekdays. You have to be more disciplined when you come to see the king. Now, you haven't fought recently. The armor given by the king is hidden in the wardrobe and can't be found for a while."

Sun Ce turned his head and looked at Gan Ning with a smile. "I have been idle for a while, but haven't grown fat?"

"That's not possible." Gan Ning clenched his fists, bent his arms, and showed his bulging biceps. "Although he didn't fight, he never dared to slack off for a day. He trained troops every day, and waited for the king's order to go to war."

"It's great. Raising troops for a thousand days will be used for a while. I'm still worried that you won't be able to maintain them for a thousand days, which is not useful." Sun Ce waved, and a servant took it, and Sun Ce took it and handed it to Gan Ning. "You have a look at this first."

Gan Ning was puzzled and opened it, looked at it twice, his face changed, and he subconsciously glanced at Bu Zhi. Bu Zhi also came over and read it together. This was a reply letter from Zang Hong, the prefect of Bohai. It was very simple. He had received the order from King Yuan Tan of Wei and planned to surrender, but the last time the navy entered the Bohai Sea, the killing and the Bohai soldiers were very serious, and the Bohai Sea soldiers were resentful. If the King of Wu wanted to get Bohai, please prohibit Gan Ning from entering, otherwise the Bohai Sea would be closed and protect themselves to survive.

Gan Ning and Bu Zhi looked at each other. Bu Zhi thought for a moment, took a step forward, and bowed: "King, the last time I entered the Bohai Sea, I was originally a common worry for the plains, and the killing was a little more serious. But the responsibility lies with me, not with Gan Tu. Gan Tu rushed in front, and I was in charge of the troops behind, but I failed to control my subordinates..."

Sun Ce raised his hand. "Don't rush to apologize. Should you kill and hurt innocent people? Let's talk about it later. Let's talk about it first, how should you reply to Zang Hong now?"

"Zang Hong is from Sheyang. Although he has never met me, he is reluctant to be considered a village party. I am willing to explain to Zang Hong in person as an envoy."

"Can you explain it?"

"I... do my best."

Sun Ce turned to the generals and counselors. "What do you think?"

Guo Jia shook the feather fan. "It's just for me to write a letter, but people don't have to go. Zang Hong refused to surrender, not his own thoughts, but the bargaining of the Bohai powerful. Bu Du, how much do you know about the Bohai powerful? "

Bu Zhi bowed and said, "Please give me some advice."

"The Bohai Sea is located near the sea, and it is somewhat similar to your Guangling. It is half a tidal flat on the seaside and half a plain. However, the Bohai Sea has a high terrain, vast arable land, fertile land, and less sea-soaked water, so it has always been known for its wealth. There are nine counties and states in Jizhou, with the largest number of household registration in the Bohai Sea, and naturally there are many powerful families and strong clans. However, the Bohai Sea is far away from the Central Plains and is separated from the Yellow River to the south. It is inconvenient to communicate with the Central Plains and has a slightly inferior culture."

Guo Jia said while indicating the terrain of the Bohai Sea. The Bohai Sea is not small, but its population is concentrated in the southwest. Except for the county seat of Nanpi County, several other counties are far away from the adjacent Hejian County counties and have a certain degree of enclosure.

"The culture is not clear, the officialdom is not prominent, and the Bohai Sea rarely produces high-ranking officials. For a long time, the one who succeeded in his career was Ren Jun, who was a 6-year-old son. He was only one step away from the Luoyang Order. During the Huan Ling period, the people of Bohai began to take shortcuts and had a wide range of friendships. He was quite famous among the party members. The most famous one was Yuan Kang, who was friendly to Guo Linzong. He was once the Yingyin Order and wrote Gaoyangli. Later, he became the prefect of Shanyang. He also advanced to the prefect of Shanyang. He spoke in a dangerous and profound manner, and did not avoid the powerful, and was famous in the capital."

Bu Zhi suddenly realized. "So, Bohai is the hometown of party members?"

"The hometown of party members is not considered a party member, it's just a horse's tail." Guo Jia laughed twice, meaningful. The others thoughtful after hearing this.

Yuan Kang is very famous, not because he is friendly to Guo Linzong, but because he engraved the title for Gaoyangli. Gaoyangli is the place where the Xun family lives. The reason why Yuan Kang was engraved the title for Gaoyangli was because Xun Shu had eight sons and was affiliated with Yuan Kang as the eight sons of Gaoyang. With the reputation of Xun at that time, how could he compare to Gaoyangli? To put it bluntly, Yuan Kang showed kindness to the Xun family in Yingyin and to the party members.

Party members like Gongsun Jinjie and Yuan Kang have a certain influence among party members, but compared with Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and especially Ruying, the influence is obviously much smaller. Therefore, Guo Jiacai said that Bohai is not considered the hometown of party members, and that is, Ruying's honor can only be considered as the tail of the prince. Since this is the case, Zang Hong refused to surrender easily, so he was not concerned about Gan Ning and Bu Zhi's murder, but to show that they are Yuan Tan's fans and have certain strength. He Yong is behind Yuan Tan, who is an old party member.

Gan Ning is from Yizhou, with no villager to speak of, and is a solitary minister, so it is unnecessary to pay attention to it. Bu Zhi is from Huai Si, and has a potential competitive relationship with the Ruying faction. Bohai people refuse Gan Ning and Bu Zhi enters the country. In addition to showing loyalty to Yuan Tan and leaving a good reputation, they can also show kindness to the Ruying faction so that they can form the Jizhou faction after the war is over and have a certain voice in it. Only with their own faction can they gain benefits in the court and the opposition, otherwise they can only follow others.

After waiting for a while, Guo Jia finally concluded: "Someone behind Zang Hong is helping him with advice. If you write to Zang Hong, the person who really wants to convince is the person behind Zang Hong."

Bu Zhi understood it and bowed to thank him again. He was not unfamiliar with Bohai, but he didn't listen to Guo Jia's analysis and really didn't know that the Bohai people and the party members had such a deep connection. It was useless to try to convince Zang Hong himself. Only by persuading the person behind Zang Hong.

Sun Ce never said anything. Guo Jia had already said these words, and they were more thorough. For example, why did Yuan Shao go to Bohai? Why did Zang Hong turn against Yuan Shao later? And the people of Bohai also fully support him. This is all related to the people of Bohai regarding themselves as party members. But he didn't know who the person behind Zang Hong was. In his impression, there seemed to be no famous adviser in Bohai.

Sun Ce then made corresponding arrangements.

The Bohai Sea is in the eastern part of Jizhou, and several important rivers in the southern part of Jizhou converge in the Bohai Sea and finally flow into the sea. If Liu Bei retreated from Yecheng, the Bohai Sea is the only way to the eastern line, especially Gongsun Zan of Dongguang once defeated the 300,000 Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou to the north. Sun Ce ordered Gan Ning and Bu Zhi to lead the navy into the Zhang River, heading straight to Nanpi in Bohai County. Bu Zhi first wrote a letter to Zang Hong. If Zang Hong and the people behind him did not listen and refused to surrender, then cooperate with Xu Kun, Zhu Ran and others of Pingyuan County to conquer the Bohai Sea by force. Now, in addition to Zang Hong, there are also Jizhou soldiers led by Cui Jun. In the worst case, Gan Ning and others not only have to deal with Zang Hong and conquer Nanpi, but also have to repel Cui Jun, guard Liu Bei's route to retreat north, and provide the possibility for the main force to seize Youzhou.

Gan Ning was in a state of mind and was overjoyed.
