"But boss, our brothers are good at water, but if it's on land, it's not a problem to fight against the general army, but if it's the elite under Yuan Shao's command, I'm afraid we can't beat it, right?" Gan Hu said.

"You know what? The soldier is treacherous, when Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Zhan fight, how much effort does he have to take care of us? It's time for us to shine! Our brothers are dragons on the water, and they are still rampant on the road! Gan Ning snorted coldly.

"But Yuan Shao is not stupid, we are dangling in front of him like this, doesn't he want to find a way to deal with us?" Gan Hu worried. With a single army without support, he constantly provoked Yuan Shao, who now had a heavy army, and he felt very unsteady in his heart. If something happens, I'm afraid the whole army will have to be built in it.

"There are many heroes and righteous people in the land of Yan Zhao, I admit this. But in the water war, it's not that I look down on these northern princes, they can't even build ships, and it's impossible to deal with me. Gan Ning said with great confidence.

When it comes to water warfare, he thinks he is the second in the world, and now no one dares to call him the first, and the only one who can be barely looked at by him is Cai Mao, and the rest are not worth mentioning. Gan Ning didn't believe that Yuan Shao could find a general in Hebei who was good at water warfare.

......

In Yecheng, Jizhou, Yuan Shao, who was preparing for the Battle of Jieqiao, was also worried about the uncertain enemy army in Ganning at this time.

"Now Gu is about to fight with Gongsun Zhan on the boundary bridge, but Yuan Highway sent Gan Xingba to my Jizhou to harass him, what can he do?" Yuan Shao looked at the information from Gao Gan, sighed lightly, and said to several strategists around him.

"Your Majesty, didn't we also train a group of elite sailors in the past? But I don't know what the situation is now? Xu You asked first. Since learning that Jiangdong's naval army has the ability to cross the sea, the princes of the world have been very vigilant in their hearts, and secretly established and trained their own naval army, not seeking to defeat Jiangdong, which is famous for water warfare, but seeking to be able to slightly limit the opponent's naval army, in order to protect themselves. As early as two years ago, Yuan Shao had begun to secretly select young people to form a navy near the Bohai Sea, and he had been secretly trained by Yuan Shao's henchman Chun Yuqiong.

Yuan Shao frowned and said sadly: "Although it has been effective at the beginning, it has the strength to fight. But compared with Gan Xingba, I'm afraid it's much inferior! ”

"Now the 10,000 naval army formed by Chun Yuqiong has been trained and has basically taken shape. But compared to Gan Ning, who led 30,000 elite sailors, there was no possibility of victory at all. ”

"10,000 trolls?" Xu You pondered in his heart for a moment, and then asked, "Your Majesty, the combat power of this 10,000-strong naval army may be guaranteed?" ”

"Naturally, as Chun Yuqiong and I said, if it is under the same force, he has the confidence to fight with Gan Xingba."

"Your Majesty, General Chun Yuqiong's temperament is a little arrogant and uninhibited, and what he said may not be true." The judge, who couldn't stand it, stood up with a wry smile and said bluntly.

As the most military person among the many strategists, the judge has some understanding of the combat power of the Jiangdong Naval Army. If Chun Yuqiong said that the strength of the army was twice that of Gan Ning, he was confident that he would fight, and he would have doubts in his heart, let alone such a big talk? Do you really think that the strength of the Jiangdong Navy is blown out? If it was really so easy to catch up, how could Cao Cao and Liu Bei be helpless against Yuan Shu because of a Yangtze River.

Indeed, what Zhong Jian said is an exaggeration. But Lone had seen it with his own eyes, and the navy he trained was mighty and murderous. Thinking about the scene when he was inspecting Chun Yuqiong's army near Bohai County, Yuan Shao still felt a little enthusiastic. Chun Yuqiong, as one of the former eight captains of Xiyuan, is naturally first-class in training soldiers to lead soldiers into battle, and his ability makes Yuan Shao very satisfied.

"In that case, we may not be able to deal with Gan Ning's lone army." When Xu You heard this, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and he said confidently.

"Ziyuan's words are not considered, Gan Ning is the first general of the Chu State Naval Army, and the naval army under his command is even more elite, even the number is not comparable to ours, isn't such a plan an egg hitting a stone? If we are defeated, will the naval army that Your Majesty has carefully prepared for several years be ruined, and then we will no longer be able to win the army of Ganning. Once our army and Gongsun Chan are in a decisive battle, the other party has a grudge and attacks from behind, what do you want Your Majesty to do? Can't be so risky. Guo Tu, who had always looked at Xu You, immediately stood up and retorted.

Yuan Shao said that the emperor wantonly divided the generals and strategists under his command, but he was ranked below Xu Youhe and Xun Chen, which was inferior to the trial, and he was naturally jealous and resentful of Xu You.

Guo Tu's friend Feng Ji also stood up at this time: "What the public rule said is good. The most important thing for His Majesty now is to defeat Gongsun Zhan, unify Hebei, become the overlord of Hebei, and then dominate the world. The 10,000 elites led by Chun Yuqiong cannot be moved lightly, for the sake of insurance, let them go to contain Gan Xingba when the two armies are decisive. At that time, even if this naval army is completely destroyed, His Majesty will be worth it as long as he defeats Gongsun Chan safely. At this time, there is no need to take risks because of the urgency of the moment, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Your Majesty! ”

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan? Do you know Gan Xingba's character and abilities? This person has an arrogant temperament and excellent martial arts, and all the soldiers under his command are elite, and they are the best at water warfare. I am afraid that when the time comes, General Chun Yuqiong's plan to contain the other party will not succeed at all, and the other party will be able to wipe out our army's naval army in half a day at most. Instead of waiting in fear to avoid problems, it is better to take the initiative to solve it. After all, Gan Xingba is just a lone army, as long as he grasps his weaknesses and eliminates them, it is not difficult to eliminate them, and it is not only the water army that can participate in the water war. With the right planning, how can we not destroy it with the strength of our army today? Xu Yu retorted without giving an inch.

"Not to mention Ziyuan, what good strategy do you have to confidently destroy Gan Ning's army, even if you eliminate it? If Yuan Shu had learned of the situation, wouldn't he have sent another naval army? What's more, Liaodong has now stopped tens of thousands of Yuan Shu's cavalry, once we provoke Yuan Shu, I'm afraid we will face more than 30,000 sailors. If Yuan Shu is forced to join forces with Gongsun Zhan against my Great Zhao, the price we will have to pay to win the Battle of the Boundary Bridge will be much greater. Guo Tu secretly raised his eyebrows at Xu You.

"Now that we have a big war imminent, isn't Yuan Highway constrained everywhere and lacks skills? Now that the state of Chu is newly established, he has made so many movements, how can he have the strength to send troops to deal with our army again? Otherwise, with Yuan Shu's fear of His Majesty, he would have sent heavy troops a long time ago, not just this lone army. Do you still think that Yuan Highway has not allied with Gongsun Chan to deal with me Da Zhao now? At this time, most of the food and ordnance in Gongsun Zhan's hands were provided by Yuan Highway, but we had nothing, doesn't this explain the problem? Xu Yu hit the nail on the head.

The mutual attack between Yuan Shu and Cao Liu, and the chaotic war in the Central Plains was a great thing for Yuan Shao. Otherwise, Yuan Shao would not only have to worry about Gan Ning's 30,000 naval troops now, but also set aside a large number of troops to garrison the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou, beware of Cao Cao stabbing Yuan Shao at the most critical time. Xu You saw this very clearly, so he hoped that Yuan Shao would be stronger.
