Liu Bei's recruitment order gave Gan Ning a glimmer of light, so he packed up his water thieves and prepared to pack them up and defect to Liu Bei. Poor Gan Ning still hasn't figured out that no one has recruited him, either because of his ability or because of his background as a bandit.
As for Lu Jun and his group, Gan Ning brought them here without hesitation. There is no way to get a boatload of salt. Strategic materials worth millions of dollars or more. It¡¯s not that Gan Ning has never seen the world, but it¡¯s just a fact. Salt is such a thing. It is indispensable, not to mention that this ship is full of refined salt.
Gan Ning, who had originally planned not to be a robber anymore, immediately became jealous when he heard the news and decided to rob it later.
Gan Ning can still maintain his proper demeanor, and because the Lu family has a small clan, all the men are brought up by the clan, so there is no chance of bullying men and women. The family tradition is good, In addition, Lu Jun's good performance made Gan Ning feel that he was not a robber, but an uncle. As long as he didn't kill anyone, he could make any request.
"This ship of salt belongs to me!" Gan Ning, who had chopped off a small ship with a half-moon sword and then jumped on board, roared to Lu Jun.
"As long as you don't hurt our lives, brave men, we are willing to help deliver the salt to where you want it." Lu Jun's reply was not Gan Ning's usual begging for mercy, but a deal. He didn't want the things, but only wanted his life.
Don't say that this ship of salt cost nothing. Even if this ship of salt cost money, Lu Jun still gave away the salt in this situation. The three generations of his Lu family's direct bloodline combined did not have as many fingers and toes, and all of them would die. I can't afford it. If the money is gone, you can make more money. If the people are gone, it's the end.
I have to say that Lu Kang's education is very powerful. When encountering robbers, the Lu family directly expressed their surrender. You can give them money or help, but don't hurt anyone. As long as you don't hurt anyone, our Lu family can help. The money will be redeemed again.
Look, isn't it very soft, but even such a soft family has rarely been robbed. When Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin saw it, they would give him a ride. They had robbed before, but after a long time, this guy often passed by. Let's go, show some filial piety every time. Forward-looking water bandits like Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are happy to receive some filial piety. Although the other party never resists, if they really do it again and again, they will no longer be able to survive sooner or later. It¡¯s better to be harmonious.
Now that the water bandit leaders in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have spoken out, the Lu family will have to pay some tolls for strolling on the Yangtze River, and the water bandits will be at peace if they pay some respect. No one will touch the Lu family's merchant ships, even though everyone knows about it. This family's merchant ship is very soft, but no matter how soft it is, you can't eat the Lu family. What will the water bandits behind you eat if you eat them? What will you eat next? There's no better way to collect tolls than to lick blood from the edge of a knife.
Over time, this has become a certain default rule. One trip out of the boat can earn 1.8 million yuan. There are only five or six famous water bandits in the Yangtze River, and each person earns 20,000 yuan. The others are as small as 10,000 yuan and 20 yuan. Everyone was happy when Wan San came down. The journey down was uneventful, but the boat ran aground. When the bandits found out that the Lu family didn't arrive on time, they still went to look for it. It was really harmonious.
In this way, the Lu family is still a coward, but they are still doing well on the Yangtze River and doing business. The water bandits in front of them robbed the Gu family's boat. The Lu family couldn't get through, so they just stared at it, watching the Gu family being killed and the boat being towed. Let's go, nothing will be left, and then pay some money yourself, and the water bandits will send someone to send them through this area, and nothing will happen
Lu Jun pulled a boat of salt and prepared to go up the river to Jingzhou, and by the way, he would give some water to the water bandits. It was not easy for everyone, and the world situation is not very good now. Who knows when something will go wrong, or maybe it will happen again in the future. It would be of use to them, so on the basis of converting this free boatload of refined salt into five baht, we decided to make future plans and share it all with the water thieves who ate on the Yangtze River. Anyway, Mi Zhu said that he would deliver the salt after it was shipped. I have three ships, so I might as well use one ship to make friends with these people. Anyway, I didn¡¯t find that these people were not well-fed.
This is also the reason why when Sun Ce attacked Lujiang City three years later and planned to kill all the Lu family, Lu Xun, who was only twelve years old, and Lu Ji, who was less than ten years old, were able to escape to his hometown in Jiangdong under the pursuit of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. .
All the water bandits on the entire Yangtze River remember the good things of the Lu family. Although you, Sun Ce, are the little overlord and the water bandits cannot offend you, you can still help the Lu family who only have women and children left. Toll fees have been paid for more than ten years. What Lulin values ????is loyalty. If he doesn't help at this time, the Lu family will be killed in front of him. Then he won't have to join the bandits in the future, and no one will look down on him!
Lu Jun estimated that the disappearance of his caravan on the river was enough to make the water bandits extremely entangled. Maybe the water bandits in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have already mobilized to look for his ship.
Lu Jun's guess was correct. Zhou Tai had already contacted Jiang Qin and started looking for the Lu family's fleet on the Yangtze River. After all, it stands to reason that the Lu family's ships should have moved to Zhou Tai's territory by this time. But Zhou Tai waited. After waiting and waiting, I finally found out that the Lu family's ship had not arrived. This was not good news, so don't sink it
So Zhou Tai ordered the patrolling water pirates to help as usual to see if the Lu family had hit the rocks again. He said that if they hit the rocks, he would be given an extra 20,000 yuan to drag them out. This was all good business, but the boat disappeared. This time Zhou Tai I was dumbfounded. Don't sink. It's hard to explain if you sink. This time he is the legitimate son of the Lu family. If he is gone, the Lu family will never come here again. Will they rely on robbery to make a living?
So he mobilized his men to look for them quickly. He wanted to see people alive and dead bodies. This was his meal ticket. Without the Lu family, he would rely on robbery to make a full meal and starve him. Are you kidding? Robbery depends on the sky, and The labor fees, settlement fees, and funeral expenses are a lot each time, which is completely unreliable. How about having the Lu family¡¯s stable monthly salary?
The water bandits on the entire Yangtze River started to move, which made Cai Mao in Jingzhou feel frightened. There were more than a dozen water bandits on the Yangtze River, large and small, and the total number was almost five or six thousand. It looked like there were not many people, but the water was The army is purely a technical unit, and it cannot be played with a large number of people. If these five or six thousand water bandits form a group, Cai Mao's Jingzhou navy cannot guarantee a guaranteed victory.
After Cai Hao reported the news, the entire Jingzhou Navy went on alert. When the information came in, Cai Hao had a cold look on his face. He didn't expect that the Lu family had lost a person, and then the entire Yangtze River became a mess.
After this news came out through secret channels, everyone couldn't help but become wary of the Jiangdong Lu family, a soft and harmless family. They lost a direct relative and made the entire Yangtze River unstable. What else do your family want? A typical example of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
Gan Ning, who was leaning against the wall to take shelter from the rain, didn't know that because he robbed the Lu family, all the water thieves on the Yangtze River wanted to beat him to death. It was just a public outrage.
The Lu family is the only one who pays the toll on the entire Yangtze River. Other families try to hide as much as possible, and sometimes even deliberately make some small moves. Only the Lu family is soft. When passing by the XX water bandits, I found that no one was where they should be. You collect tolls and stop boats, etc. You have taken away the most obedient example. You dare to challenge the rules of water bandits on the entire Yangtze River. Isn't this just asking for death?
