The bumps under his feet reminded Yan Shao of the formation of the water army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why Cao Cao lost in the Battle of Chibi was not because he did not have a capable enough naval army. Therefore, the air has a force far stronger than Jiangdong, but it is still blocked on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

If Yan Shao really wants to clear the war, the navy is not necessary.

"But it seems a little too far to consider these at the moment, my current jurisdiction is only a mere Beihai, let's wait until Qingzhou is cleared..."

Indeed, it is a bit far to talk about these now, and Yan Shao's current jurisdiction is only a county in Beihai. Even if his influence has covered most of Qingzhou, in the final analysis, he is not the assassin of Qingzhou, but just the county guard of Beihai County.

It would be ambitious to form a navy now, and the cost of forming a navy is not something that a Beihai county can afford, at least until he controls Qingzhou...

"However, it's okay to get a small-scale navy first, at least you can become the backbone of the navy after the establishment of the navy in the later period, so as not to form a navy army, but without the embarrassment of an officer..."Thinking of this, Yan Shao couldn't help but look at Huang Zhong next to him.

As a native of Jingzhou, Huang Zhong is obviously the most suitable candidate.

First, he has excellent martial arts, but under the new account, it is not good to rashly give him a high position, so as not to be dissatisfied with the other generals―――――― don't look at the happy people under the account now, Yan Shao is very clear, this is because there are few people who can be used under his hands, and he was also treated impartially before, so there will be no contradictions between them.

However, in the future, there will only be more and more people who will be put into his account, and the so-called people who do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, if a capable person comes to a random place, he will be given a high position, for fear that it will attract the dissatisfaction of other generals, wouldn't that be a contradiction for himself? Especially a person like Huang Zhong who is strong in martial arts, but who didn't have much reputation before, is more likely to attract dissatisfaction.

This is also why Yan Shao knew that Zhao Yun's ability was outstanding, but he still arranged a not very high official position for him first, if he liked the new and hated the old, wouldn't it make the old man who had followed him a long time ago chill?

Just when Yan Shao was staring at the river in the distance in a daze, he suddenly heard a crisp bell in his ears.

This made him feel that he might have hallucinated, how could there be a bell on the river.

"Could it be that I've been thinking too much about my daughter-in-law lately, so I'm having auditory hallucinations?"

Just as Yan Shao was muttering to himself in his heart, Huang Zhong next to him was vigilantly looking at the river in the distance.

As I once said, as a general, you must first have a keen sense. Only in this way can you better survive on the battlefield, and as a shooter, you need more keen vision and hearing, so before the voice reached Yan Shao's ears, Huang Zhong had already felt it.

It's just that just like Yan Shao, he also felt that he might have auditory hallucinations.

It's not impossible, in order to take care of Huang Xu recently, he hasn't had a good rest for a long time. Even if he is an iron beater, he will be tired, not to mention that Huang Zhong is still a flesh and blood body.

It's just that after looking at the reactions of other people around him, he realized that this bell was not an auditory hallucination, but a real appearance...

Around this time, seven or eight ships appeared at the end of the Yangtze River, but what really caught the eye was that the sails of these ships were all made of silk brocade...

Just when Yan Shao felt in his heart that these people were really tyrants, he saw that the boatman on the ship had already screamed in horror. "It's a brocade thief!"

Hearing this name, others felt a little inexplicable, but Yan Shao stared.

"Gan Ning?!"

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Seven or eight ships came down the river, each with sails woven from brocade cloth, which was definitely a luxury in this era. You must know that cloth is the same as grain, it is a common currency, even ordinary families cannot use brocade cloth to do this kind of behavior, if anyone does it, they will be scolded as a loser.

However, those people on the ship not only did it, but even did it very heroically, not only the sails were brocade, but even the thieves on the ship were wearing clothes woven of brocade, if not everyone revealed a fierce spirit, it was not impossible to think that they were ruined from somewhere based on the clothes on their bodies.

Especially the sturdy young man who was the leader, he was wearing gorgeous clothes, with feathers on his head, and a bell around his waist, which made people can't help but curse secretly when they see it. "Sassy bag!"

If an ordinary man wears it, I'm afraid that he will be regarded as a pseudo-mother. However, the fierceness revealed by this young man is impossible to ignore, especially the many scars on his arms, which are even more hideous.

"I thought that if I went out for a walk this time, I wouldn't have gained anything, but I didn't expect to be able to touch a few big fish this time..." Little ones, it's open! ”

When the water thieves under Gan Ning's command heard this, they also laughed one after another, especially those water thieves who were rocking the oars even harder, making the boats they were sitting on a little faster.

Listening to the laughter coming from the river, the boatmen on the boat changed color one after another, so that the armor soldiers under Yan Shao's command seemed very calm. For these sergeants who have been crawling in the mountain of corpses and blood for a long time, the current situation is nothing, Guan Hai muttered even more. "I've been bored for so long, and I finally have a few to relieve my boredom..."

Obviously, like everyone else, he also regarded the Jinfan thief on the other side as an ordinary water thief.

It's not surprising that since he started his army with Yan Shao, he has surrounded and suppressed many bandits and robbers, and although it was the first time for the water thieves, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Yan Shao and Huang Zhong are a little dignified, Yan Shao has heard of Gan Ning's reputation, a hundred horsemen robbing the camp, Gan Xingba's courage is by no means inferior to Zhang Liao, he is a first-class fierce general in Eastern Wu. It can even be said that in addition to Tai Shici, there are a few super-first-class generals.

In addition, Gan Xingba was originally born as a water thief, and now he is a Jinfan thief who is a close confidant, and his combat effectiveness on the water should not be underestimated. Even if he had Huang Zhong and Guan Hai by his side, and there were also his own personal armor soldiers on the ship, as well as many soldiers who dared to be born in the first army, he didn't dare to despise this Jinfan thief too much.

The disadvantage of the number of people cannot be ignored, and the soldiers under his command are not accustomed to water warfare after all, although they have adapted to life on the water a little during this time, they will not be like soft-footed shrimp as before, but they are still too far from the Jinfan thieves who have been drifting on the water all year round.

As for Huang Zhong?

As a native of Jingzhou, how could Huang Zhong not have heard of the name of the Jinfan thief, but he stayed in Nanyang all the year round, so he had no communication with the Jinfan thief. However, now that he has encountered the Jinfan thief, it is a very headache, and there is Huang Xu behind him, so he can't ignore one or two.

"Han Sheng knows this brocade thief?"

Looking at Huang Zhong's cautious appearance, Yan Shao asked pretending not to know.

At this time, Huang Zhong had already recognized Yan Shao as the master, and hurriedly whispered his understanding of the Jinfan thief.

In fact, in terms of understanding the Jinfan thief, Yan Shao is far stronger than Huang Zhong, and at the moment he is just pretending. After listening to the evil deeds of the Jinfan thief in the past, he did not make any panicked expressions, but said with some interest. "I was still discussing the matter of the water army just now, and now I took the initiative to bump into one, isn't this heaven's desire to fulfill us? If you get the help of this person, the matter of the water army will be twice the result with half the effort! ”

Huang Zhong also admitted that this Gan Ning was indeed a good choice, but he had also heard of the name of the Jinfan thief, such an unruly person, he was afraid that it would not be easy to subdue, so he couldn't help but admonish. "Lord, this brocade thief is rampant on the Yangtze River, Liu Jingsheng has been encircled and suppressed many times, but he has been unruly, I am afraid that he may not be willing to listen to the good words of the lord..."

Yan Shao smiled when he heard this, he never thought that as long as his domineering spirit was gone, he would be able to ask the other party to bow to such a thing, so he would not do the second thing.

During this time, the heroes he came to recruit were also targeted.

For example, Guan Hai and Sun Guan, who followed him at the beginning, Guan Hai was just a farmer at the time, although the Yan family declined, but being able to get Yan Shao's recruitment was also a high branch for him.

Sun Guan is just an ordinary ranger, he looks very free, in fact, many rangers are recruited by wealthy families to go to the home care home, Sun Guan is more persistent than other rangers, but this can't change his identity. What's more, Sun Guan is not without pursuit, he just doesn't want to go to the home care of a wealthy family like other rangers, this is also after Yan Shao has an official body, Sun Guan will do his best to serve Yan Shao, instead of being hindered by gambling contracts like before...

Because Yan Shao at that time already had the qualifications to let him play...

Needless to say, Zhou Cang and Wu Anguo came for other targets when they came, and the other was because there was no other person in Beihai who could serve them.

As for Tai Shici, although he was the choice of a super-first-class general, when he met Yan Shao at that time, he had just caused trouble and was about to die in Liaodong. At this time, he was also the most depressed, coupled with Yan Shao's heart-to-heart and entrustment, and then played the emotional card, it was not surprising that he was able to recruit Tai Shici.

Zhao Yun...

No matter how powerful the martial arts are, they are just a small pawn, and it is difficult to get ahead under Yuan Shao's account, and when he meets a person who is willing to appreciate him, and with Yuan Shao's permission, it is not difficult to imagine who he will choose. Then Yan Shao's Corporal Lixian made him even more unable to refuse.

There is also Huang Zhong, at this time Huang Zhong is just a somewhat famous marksman in Nanyang, and he is not even as good as Tai Shici before he died at the end of the world. Coupled with the fact that Yan Shao has found a way to cure Huang Xu, it is not surprising that he would choose Yan Shao. How can a great husband be born in the world, and be treacherous?

Gan Ning in front of him is a little more troublesome, as the leader of the Jinfan thieves, there are 800 water thieves under his command, and he is the head of the water thieves who are rampant in the Yangtze River, and he can even be called the water thief king by his later name.

However, later he would defect to Liu Biao, obviously not satisfied with the identity of a mere water thief. The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should have made a difference, but now he is just a water thief, no wonder Gan Ning feels unwilling.

Although Yan Shao's current power is not as good as Liu Biao, he is also a prince, and his influence is not as good as ordinary princes, at least in Qingzhou, which is more obvious after Jiao He's death, so Yan Shaozhi is also willing to try, at least...

"It's better than fighting with this now, but I also know that this kind of character can't be said by words alone, Han Sheng, I've heard about your reputation as a marksman a long time ago, I don't know if I would like to show it today?" Carrots and sticks, this is the king...

Besides, Yan Shaoke never thought of relying on just one lip to say that he would move this Gan Xingba to defect to him, he didn't think so highly of himself...

"No!" Huang Zhong's face was solemn, he looked coldly at the ship that was heading this way, turned around and walked to the cabin to get a bow and arrow.

At this time, the accompanying armor soldiers were already ready, standing on the bow of the ship with armor and shields, and even tilting the hull of the ship slightly, so that the boatman could not easily avoid the capsizing of the ship.

Gan Ning on the other side saw it, but he sneered. "I don't want to be a hard bone." But I didn't pay much attention to it. He has been crisscrossing the Yangtze River for a long time, and he has robbed not only ordinary civilian ships, but also the ships of the Jingzhou Navy who are often frequented, how can he be afraid of these people in front of him, and the water thieves under him are even more excited.

After all, the sergeants on the opposite ship were all wearing armor, and the weapons in their hands looked very sophisticated, such bones were of course difficult to gnaw, but if they were gnawed, they could be called a bumper harvest―――――― in troubled times, grain was of course hard currency, but the blades were the same...

Just when the water thieves under Gan Ning's command were excited, a strong wind struck, and they saw an arrow hit the mast behind Gan Ning, and actually shot one of the thinner masts at the waist.

Seeing the thick mast of the bowl mouth fall on the surface of the river, setting off a wave of waves, and the water thieves were silent, Gan Ning stood at the bow of the boat and resolutely did not move, but a layer of fine sweat could not help but flow from his forehead.

The power of the arrow just now was so powerful that even he barely had time to react, so you can imagine what the consequences would be if the target of this arrow was his son. When I looked in the direction where the arrow came, I saw a strong man standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the bow in his hand...

Gan Ning couldn't help but look horrified. "Is this really a bow..."

I saw that Huang Zhong was actually holding a bow more than one person high in his hand, and even the arrows around him were no different from the small javelins, and they were stuck in the bow of the boat one by one. When you think of the mast before you, it's not hard to imagine the power of these arrows.

At this time, the water thieves behind Gan Ning also saw this scene, and they also gasped.

However, Gan Ning is Gan Ning after all, even after experiencing the arrow just now, he still does not lose his pride, and he stepped on the bow of the boat and said loudly.

"A certain Gan Xingba, whoever comes can use his name!"

The sound crossed the river and clearly entered the ears of Yan Shao and others.

Huang Zhong put away his big bow and turned his head to look at Yan Shao.

Yan Shao bowed slightly, and when he got the signal, Huang Zhong also raised his voice. "A certain Nanyang Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng, I met Haojie today, I have to show my hand, please forgive me..."

The voice was full of energy, although it was not as loud as Gan Ning's, but it also clearly reached the ears of the water thieves.

"Huang Zhong?" Gan Ning really hadn't heard much of this name, but fortunately, some of the water thieves under his command were well-informed, at least they often went to the restaurant to have a look, and soon knew that Huang Zhong was a famous marksman in Nanyang. "It turned out to be Huang Hansheng, and I've admired the name for a long time...", he said and looked at the fleet behind him. Don't know the purpose of this trip? ”

saw that behind Huang Zhong, another person stood up.

"Jinfan Gan Xingba, I have also admired the name for a long time..."

―――――――――――― Dividing Lines――――――――――

Gan Ning didn't mind being called a brocade thief, or he was still very satisfied with his name, otherwise he wouldn't even have made the sails out of brocade cloth. But being inserted like this made him a little unhappy, and he didn't know this person, so he frowned.

"Who are you?"

At this time, the fleets of the two sides had actually reached a relatively close distance, so even if Yan Shao's voice was not as good as Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, it could clearly reach the ears of the water thieves on the opposite side.

Hearing Gan Ning ask about his origin, he saw Yan Shao smile loudly. "A certain is the first Yan Fuxian in Beihai, I don't want to meet a hero like Xingba today, it's really a blessing..."

"Yan Fuxian..."To say that Huang Zhong is not impressed, but Yan Shao's name shocked Gan Ning's heart. The battle in Tiger Prison Pass has just passed, whether it is Tai Shici or Zhao Yun's names, it is thunderous, how could Gan Ning not hear it? As the lord of Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, Yan Shao's reputation also spread to the Yangtze River. "It turned out to be Yan Taishou, I don't know if I have any advice?"

The displeasure in his tone could be regarded as dissipating a little, if it was just an ordinary county guard, it would not be enough to let Gan Ning treat him like this. After all, Jiangdong is almost a mess, even Yan Baihu can become the master of one party, this Gan Ning is arrogant and domineering, how can he fall in love with this kind of character who is no different from the bandit leader?

However, Yan Shao is different, although he is only a small Beihai Taishou, he is known for his ability to fight well, so Gan Ning has to be cautious at that time. Looking at the armor soldiers around him, they are all rare elites, although I don't know where Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are now, but just looking at Huang Zhong beside Yan Shao, I already know that this person is definitely not easy to deal with...

Seeing that the fleet on his side was getting closer and closer, Yan Shao was not afraid, and he knew how bold this person was.

As he spoke, the two fleets had come to a fairly close distance. However, perhaps because of the power of Huang Zhong's arrow just now, coupled with Yan Shao's name, the water thieves under Gan Ning's account did not dare to act rashly.

And after observing the armor soldiers under Yan Shao's command, Gan Ning had to admit that it was a wise choice not to do it just now. Although the eight hundred brocade sail thieves under his account are also elite, they cannot be compared with the armor in front of him.

"Beihai Yan Fuxian really lives up to his reputation..."

If he could have seen these people with soft feet a few days earlier, I am afraid it would have been another opinion.

In any case, Huang Zhong's divine shooting and the armor behind Yan Shao had to be treated seriously by Gan Ning.

Taking all this into his eyes, Yan Shao smiled slightly. "Xingba is such a hero, don't you think it's a pity not to serve the country?" (To be continued.) )
