Gan Ning knew that what Yuan Yao said was right, when the eyes of the major princes today are focused on the Central Plains, not to mention the vast oceans outside the mainland, even the naval army on the big rivers and rivers is not much attention. Of course, this is also related to the limitations of this era.

In today's world, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou in the south do not have much population, and the mountains are dense and the transportation is inconvenient, while most of the land in the north is plain areas, and there are not many mountains, such as most of the population is concentrated in the north today, under this background, the center of gravity of the world's major princes is naturally in the north.

There are many rivers in the south, but the north is different, there are not many places in the water, in this case, the role that the navy can play is not very large, so the major princes in the north also attach importance to the infantry and cavalry and do not pay much attention to the navy. Today, the only places that can have a formed navy are Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

"But you're not a general."

Gan Ning was almost moved by Yuan Yao's words, but Gan Ning was also a calm person, he was not carried away by the momentary enthusiasm in his heart, looked at Yuan Yao, and said such a sentence.

Yuan Yao is still only the son of Yuan Shu, not the ruler of Yuan Shu's forces, which means that even if Yuan Yao has the heart to support Gan Ning to conquer the sea, if Yuan Shu does not agree, it will be in vain. The power of Yuan Shu's forces is now concentrated in Yuan Shu's hands, although Yuan Yao can mobilize some people because of his personality charm and Yuan Shu's favor, but when it comes to such a major event, Gan Ning doesn't think that Yuan Shu will let Yuan Yao come.

In fact, this is also because Gan Ning doesn't understand Yuan Shu and Yuan Yao, and with Yuan Shu's favor for Yuan Yao, if Yuan Yao really asked Yuan Shu to embark on a journey to the vast ocean, Yuan Shu will definitely support Yuan Yao regardless of the reason.

This is a father's love for his excellent son. No need for any reason,

Yuan Yao looked at Gan Ning and said softly: "But you must know that one day I will sit in my father's place, and even if that day is far away, if I make a request now, I think my father will agree." You Gan Ning is also a water thief on one side, and you also know that to conquer the vast ocean, you not only need strong personal strength, but also need a strong enough ship, the ship is like a war horse to a cavalry, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons, today there are few forces that can provide you with a strong enough ship, and I am definitely your best choice. “

Seeing that he had tried hard to persuade Gan Ning and still hadn't made up his mind, Yuan Yao couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, it seems that he really doesn't have the so-called protagonist's spirit, and it is impossible for the tiger body to shake the heroes from all sides to vote.

Many of the people who are now under Yuan Yao's command are actually not because of Yuan Yao's personal charm, but because Yuan Yao can provide them with a platform to introduce them to Yuan Shu and show what they have learned on the chessboard of the world. Of course, it is not without cases where Yuan Yao has joined Yuan Yao because of his personal charm, for example, Li Ye is a very representative example.

But to be honest, meeting Gan Ning and Yuan Yao today is also the first time to encounter setbacks in recruiting talents. When Yuan Yao handed out olive branches to heroes from all sides before, he basically didn't encounter any difficulties, and with his own commitment and Yuan Shu and the Yuan family in Runan standing behind him, many people were invested in Yuan Yao's command.

Looking at Gan Ning at this moment, Yuan Yao shook his head slightly, it seems that it is impossible to make Gan Ning return to his heart today, but if he doesn't recruit Gan Ning to his subordinates, with Gan Ning's, Yuan Yao is reluctant to kill him, but just let him go Yuan Yao is also a little unwilling, who knows if Gan Ning will be caught by himself again in the future. Could it be that Gan Ning could only be imprisoned?

In fact, Gan Ning, who Yuan Yao didn't know, was in a time of arrogance at this time, although he was driven out of Yizhou by Liu Zhang, but Gan Ning's morale was also very high, and his current idea was that Yizhou would not keep him, and there would always be a place for him in this world.

In the original trajectory, Gan Ning came out of Yizhou and joined Liu Biao, but was not valued by Liu Biao, and then Gan Ning wanted to take refuge in Jiangdong, but unfortunately he was stopped in Jiangxia in the end, so he could only take refuge in Huang Zu, and only after a few years did he join Jiangdong Sun Quan and began to shine.

At this time, although Gan Ning was expelled from Yizhou by Liu Zhang, he did not suffer any setbacks along the way, and he was naturally unwilling to make an easy decision to reduce his value for Yuan Yao's solicitation.

Seeing that Gan Ning had not responded, Yuan Yao also understood Gan Ning's thoughts at this time, so he said to Huang Zhong: "General Huang, let him go."

"Childe!" Huang Zhong screamed for a moment, he didn't understand why Yuan Yao would make such a decision, which really surprised him.

Not only Huang Zhong, but also Li Ye, Yu She, Wei Yan, including Gan Ning, were all surprised by Yuan Yao's decision. Li Ye even walked up to Yuan Yao and said: "Childe, this person's strength is not weak, even if Gongzi is reluctant to kill him, he can't be released like this, this is the critical time for us to attack Jiangxia, at this time, it is really a variable to release this person to be honest, why don't we take him back to Xiangyang and imprison him?"

Yuan Yao looked at Li Ye and said, "Shi'an, you're too worried."

Yuan Yao walked up to Gan Ning and whispered to Gan Ning: "Gan Ning, I respect you as a hero, I can let you go, but you had better stay for me obediently during this time, if I find out that you have any changes, I won't be so merciful next time." And I hope that if you make a decision, you can come to me, and I promise you in the name of the Yuan family in Runan that as long as you are under my command, I can fully support you on the road of the government's vast ocean, including the crew and ships, which can give you full support. “

"Are you really willing to let me go?" Gan Ning still couldn't believe that Yuan Yao would let himself go like this at this time, originally Gan Ning was ready to die or be imprisoned by Yuan Yao all the time, but he didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end.

Yuan Yao said: "I let you go because I think you are a man, but if the Jinfan thief dares to do anything wrong in Jingzhou and disturb the lives of the people, you Gan Ning will not have such an opportunity this time."

Knowing that Yuan Yao and the others were leaving, Gan Ning couldn't believe that he was actually let go by Yuan Yao like this, looking at Yuan Yao's departing figure, Gan Ning suddenly felt that this Yuan Yao seemed to be a good choice.
