Chapter 131: Li Yan
Liu Fan's question was stolen by Gan Ning.
How sure are you to conquer Jiangling?
Jiangling is an important town in Nan County, with Cai Mao, a general under Liu Biao. Not to mention that Jiangling is in a strong defense and boats cross the river. Even if Jiangling is captured with a strange plan, if there is no subsequent troops to supplement food, grass and weapons, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Jiangling.
Because Jiangling, as the important city in Nanjun, once it is taken away, Liu Biao will definitely not give up, and it is inevitable to send troops to attack and retake it.
He looked embarrassed. Although Gan Ning was sure to take Jiangling, he realized that he seemed to be a little reckless after Liu Fan asked this. At that moment, he lowered his head and groaned a few times, but did not answer Liu Fan's question.
As if seeing Gan Ning's embarrassment, Liu Fan said again: "So, I regard you as a navy general, because I want you to command the soldiers to fight, rather than to fight for a moment of courage. Although I know that you have followed me for so long and acted according to orders, if you have the chance in the future, you still have to control the troops and fight independently!"
"Ning Ning remember!" He bowed his hands and fists, Gan Ning also understood Liu Fan's good intentions. He wanted to become the commander rather than the general.
In fact, Gan Ningwen can write about Anzhou County and martial arts, and fight against enemy enemies. He is already a rare talent under Liu Fan, but his temperament is still a little worse. As long as Liu Fan has a good time, he can advance and retreat well in the battle and not easily take risks. He will also be a general who can stand on his own in the future.
Seeing that Gan Ning stopped yelling to attack Jingzhou, Liu Fan finished the topic just now, looked around, and asked, "How is Yu Fu's defense arrangement?"
"Return to the lord, Yu Fu was the pass that the Chu people were guarding against the attacks of Shu people. Now it has been disrepair this year. If it is re-opened as a pass, it needs to be repaired well."
Nodded, Liu Fan did not comment on the repair of the fish, but just called out: "All repairs should be based on the stability of Weizhou and county. Jingzhou has been stable for several years and is quite coveted of Yizhou. Back then, Liu Jingsheng had participated in Mu Bo's statement to the court. Now that my father is very strong, he must have bad intentions. This matter depends on Xingba to be wary of it!"
"Don't worry, lord! With me at Yufukou, Liu Jingsheng, no one would want to put half of the soldiers in. If it weren't for the soldiers from the state, I would have kept him out of the closing door for him!" Hearing this, Gan Ning looked solemn and bowed and thundered.
He had long disliked that old thing Liu Jingsheng. When he captured Yu Fu, Liu Biao sent someone to rebel against him. With his talent, he could command tens of thousands of troops as the governor of one side. There was no need to be the minions of the Huangkou child Liu Fan.
Gan Ning was furious when he talked about it. He immediately beat the messenger up and threw it into the river, allowing him to swim back by himself. Since then, Gan Ning has never had a good impression of Liu Biao.
Previously, he was quite optimistic about this Han clan clan named "Eight Jun". He was somewhat of the same clan as his lord Liu Fan, but he never thought that this guy was so shameless, so Gan Ning never gave him a good look again.
"I must be relieved that Xingba is stationed in Yufukou, but if I go to Jingzhou, Xingba may have to worry more!" Looking at Gan Ning with a smile, Liu Fan expressed the purpose of this trip.
"My lord is going to Jingzhou!" Gaming his eyes widened, Gan Ning looked disbelief, and then looked at Li Hu and Yan Yan behind Liu Fan. Gan Ning also frowned, "My lord, the situation in Jingzhou is unpredictable, what's the important thing that you have to go there in person?"
"What's going on with Zigui?" Since he was about to enter Jingzhou, Liu Fan naturally had to understand the situation in Zigui City.
When Gan Ning heard Liu Fan’s inquiry, he looked not good-looking and was quite serious. “Zigui City has begun to conduct strict inspections on visitors.”
"Why? Something happened within Jingzhou?" Liu Fan was a little surprised when he heard this.
Shaking his head, Gan Ning looked serious, "It was a government order issued by the magistrate of Ziguicheng County to closely investigate pedestrians. Any suspicious figures will be handed over to the government. Since I captured Yufu, Zigui has obviously been much more strict than before!"
Liu Fan was slightly raised and was surprised, "So, the strict investigation of Zigui was actually caused by this county magistrate? Could this person be a disciple of a big family in Jingzhou who has such strength and orders a county!"
Shaking his head again, Gan Ning also had some admiration in his eyebrows, "This person is not a child of a large clan, but a child of the Li family of Nanyang clan. He is named Li Yan and Li Zhengfang. He is not very old, but he is extremely safe in his actions!"
Upon hearing Gan Ning's answer, Liu Fan's eyes suddenly widened. He never expected that he would meet a talented person as soon as he entered Jingzhou. Li Yan was a figure appointed as the regent by Liu Bei at the same time as Zhuge Liang, and his ability was also recognized in his long-term position.
But at this time, Liu Fan met this Junxian who had not yet made a fortune. That was not the thing in his pocket.
"Is it really Li Zhengfang?"
"That's right, he was temporarily dispatched to replace the former county magistrate when I was conquering Zhixian and other cities along the river."
"It turns out that he was ordered in the face of danger!" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Liu Fan admitted that the reason why he came to Jingzhou in person was a gambling element. He felt that as long as he could pull him back alone in this trip, he would make a profit.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he even stepped into Jingzhou, he had already encountered someone who was not losing money.
So, how unhappy this made Liu Fan?
Looking at Liu Fan who was laughing depressedly, Gan Ning was speechless inside. He was clearly talking about something bad about the border with Liu Fan, but unexpectedly, the young lord laughed happily.
As if seeing Gan Ning's depressed expression, Liu Fan waved his hand calmly and comforted him softly: "Xingba, don't you have such a sad face. Do you only allow you to be the Supreme General of the Central Army to be the county magistrate at a young age? And only a county magistrate like Li Zhengfang can be called the best training for you. If you are those mediocre people, how can you achieve something in the future!"
When he heard Liu Fan's inquiry, Gan Ning's face was not good-looking and he was quite solemn. "Zigui City has begun to strictly investigate the travelers." "Why? Something happened within Jingzhou?" Liu Fan was a little surprised when he heard this.
Shaking his head, Gan Ning looked serious, "It was a government order issued by the magistrate of Ziguicheng County to closely investigate pedestrians. Any suspicious figures will be handed over to the government. Since I captured Yufu, Zigui has obviously been much more strict than before!"

If you are those mediocre people, how can you achieve something in the future!"
After Liu Fan's righteous words, Gan Ning was also stunned. He passed by a little in his head. He seemed to feel that what Liu Fan said made sense, but he vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
However, Liu Fan did not care about Gan Ning's situation. Seeing that he blinked for a long time and did not reply to a sentence, he knew that he had been persuaded.
"Since I have already understood the general situation of Zigui. Next, I will go over and take a look. Yufucheng will be left to Xingba for you to defend. Are you competent?"
"I'd rather live up to my mission!" He clasped his fists, with the vaccination that Liu Fan had pulled out to train him, Gan Ning is more likely to accept now. At the moment, he did not refute and agreed directly.
Chapter completed!
