Water thieves like Gan Ning may be a rare fierce general in the eyes of the princes in Jiangnan and other places, but in the eyes of the northern princes, they are a little weaker. www.biquge.info This is mainly because there are very few naval forces in the north, and the navigation technology of this period is not developed, and even the pirates are few and pitiful, almost nothing...

Even if there is a fierce general like Gan Ning, what is the use?

As for forming a water army? Please, at this time, the financial resources of which family are very tight, and the infantry army still can't figure it out, how can there be additional financial resources to get a water army? What's more, even if you get the water army out, who will you guard against? It can't be to help the princes manage the fishermen at sea, right?

This is also the reason why Gan Ning was worried a lot after losing the bet.

If after defecting to Yan Shao, he is inactive with a group of children, and there is no difference between being idle and providing for the elderly, then he would rather break his promise, and he will retreat when he sees Yan Shao in the future.

However, this is mainly for ordinary northern princes, and for Yan Shao, generals like Gan Ning are rare treasures. First of all, many generals in the north are good at cavalry warfare, but few are good at water warfare, which is certainly very suitable for fighting in the north, but what if they go south in the future? Aren't you going to be blind? You can't just grab one on the fly to command the navy, right?

Of course, it is a little too early for the northern princes at this stage to consider this...

At this time, there are still very few princes who can dominate a state, not to mention the unification of the entire north, I am afraid that it will be impossible in a few years, even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and other heroes, I am afraid that they have not considered such a long-term at the moment―――――― which is the biggest reason why Cao Cao will be miserable in Chibi later.

If Cao Cao could think more about it before going south, even if it was just a little to recruit a few talents who were good at fighting on the river, I am afraid that the entire Battle of Chibi would be completely rewritten.

In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's advantage was too great, especially in terms of troops and resources. In the so-called war, many times the competition is actually about troops and resources, and the so-called military strategy is just to make up for the shortcomings in this area or to expand its own advantages.

If your advantage is big enough, many times you don't need a so-called strategy or tactic at all, just a simple pass. It's just that this situation is really rare, which is why military strategy is so important.

However, it is difficult to say, just like I said before, it is difficult for talents in water warfare to stand out in the north, and even if there are really such talents, it is difficult to subdue those generals who have made great achievements without enough merit. When it comes to the battlefield, if these generals do not obey the dispatch, the problem will not be good.

Yan Shao is different, maybe it's too early to think about it now, but being able to prepare in advance is of great benefit to going south in the future. What's more, Gan Ning is not only excellent in water warfare, but also in land warfare, otherwise he would not have created such a record as the Hundred Cavalry Raid Battalion...

Then, the arrangement for Gan Ning is completely different.

If it was an ordinary water war general, Yan Shao would let him lead a naval army alone first, and raise it for the time being. But Gan Ning, if he is only allowed to serve as a navy, it will be too overkill...

"After you arrive in Beihai, I want you to take the position of commander of the naval army, and at the same time, you will also lead an army on land, I don't know what you think?" The river is bumpy, especially in the middle of the night. Putting down the window panel, cutting off the wind outside, after thinking about it for a long time, in the cabin, Yan Shao asked Gan Ning.

At this time, it has entered the night, and the fleet has found a place to dock at will, ―――――― this is also the advantage of small boats, if it is a large ship, it must need a port to dock, otherwise it is easy to have various problems, but it doesn't matter if the boat is stopped, there is no need to worry about running aground and other problems.

As for the Jinfan thieves under Gan Ning's command, they also moored their ships nearby at this time, and there were far more of them than before. This is after Gan Ning defected to Yan Shao's command, he sent people to the lair to call all his other brothers over, and almost all of the so-called eight hundred brocade thieves gathered here, which can be regarded as a large force on the river.

With such a force and Gan Ning's bravery, ordinary small county towns are not opponents at all, so it is no wonder that these Jinfan thieves have been able to crisscross the river for such a long time.

There are Sun Guan's daring troops on the land, and there are Ganning's Jinfan thieves on the river, even if it is still within the scope of Jingzhou, Yan Shao is not too worried about his own safety. It's not that he looks down on Liu Biao, it's really that this person has good governance, he can't govern the army, and his historical record has not been very good.

It's not that there are no fierce generals who can recruit good soldiers, but unfortunately either they haven't come out yet, or they have been recruited by Yan Shao, such as Huang Zhong, and then Wen Ping and Wei Yan, who don't know where they are yet, etc...

Even if Liu Biao decided to turn his face and send troops to chase after him, with the many fierce generals around him, plus elites such as the Dare First Army and the Jinfan Army, he could easily defeat the pursuing army.

"This—" Gan Ning hesitated a little before he spoke. Didn't the lord plan for me to serve as both the infantry army and the navy at the same time? ”

It's no wonder that he would be like this, no one has ever been like this in the past, and he is also a foot army and a water army? It's a bit whimsical to do that.

"That's true..."Yan Shao nodded, admitting calmly. Xingba's talent, I naturally know that there are as many as 10,000 people in the Beihai Mabu Army at present, but there is not even one in the water army, of course, the current Qingzhou does not need a water army, but a certain ambition is not limited to just Qingzhou, so I need Xingba to help me..."

"It's just that in this way, wouldn't Xingba have to do nothing for a long time? Now in troubled times, when the big husband is making contributions, wouldn't it be ridiculous if Xingba was just trapped in a harbor? Moreover, Xingba's talent is not limited to the navy, which is why I plan to do so, I don't know if Xingba dares to take on this burden? ”

"Since the lord looks at it, he is naturally willing to work for dogs and horses!" Gan Ning hugged his fists, he was not worried about the heavy task, but he was worried that no one would be willing to give him a chance to play, and now that Yan Shao was willing to attach so much importance to him, of course he would not feel unhappy.

At the same time, the heavy responsibility of leading the infantry army and the navy army is indeed a very tiring job, but he doesn't mind it at all, but after thinking about it for a while, Gan Ning proposed.

"The lord wants to form a naval army, this is really a foresight, but at the moment there is no foundation for the North Sea army, and it is not necessary to build ships along the coast first, and then recruit troops. In addition, the lord lives in the north, and in a short period of time, he should focus on expanding the territory, and there is no place where the navy can come in handy, if he thinks about investing now, it will be too wasteful of resources, so it is better to invest these resources in the infantry army, but only to form a smaller naval army, so as to become the backbone of the naval army in the future. Among Ning's sons, there are also a few more outstanding, so they can lead the head of the water army first, and at the same time, Ning is to draw the backbone from the sons and daughters to form a water army, so that the water army can be successful, as for Ning and other sons, they can follow the lord to make contributions! ”

But Gan Ning felt that if he just formed a water army, he didn't need him in the first part.

The current Beihai Army doesn't even have a shadow, it's too early to talk about this, and Gan Ning himself is good at water warfare, but he doesn't know much about things like shipbuilding, and his understanding of forming a naval army is limited to how to recruit brothers, and he doesn't understand what to do with the rest.

In the final analysis, he is just a water thief, not a naval general from a professional class, he only knows a set of water warfare experience that he has groped out, and he is not very clear about those more professional things. Even if you go, you may not be better than others. It just so happens that among his eight hundred Jinfan thieves, there are also a few outstanding naval talents, so they can temporarily hold this position first, and then draw a group of people from the Jinfan thieves to serve as backbones, at least a few hundred people will be trained first.

In this way, the so-called water army is equivalent to having a certain foundation. After that, with all the warships, ordnance, etc., considering that the initial naval army was not very useful, this naval army could be maintained in a small scale of more than 1,000 people, or even hundreds of people, in a short period of time, and practiced continuously every day.

When you feel that you really need this water army, or need them to come in handy, you can temporarily expand it. At this time, the first step to form the navy can become the backbone of the future navy, and when it is established in the future, there is no need to worry about the problem of officers―――――― for an army, soldiers are important, but the most important thing is officers.

Soldiers need to be managed, and if they are not properly managed, they can easily become a mess on the battlefield, and this is especially evident at sea. Because the navy is a very special type of troops, it requires a certain amount of professional knowledge, unlike the infantry army, you can be an infantry army with a spear, the navy needs to be assigned a good job first, not to mention anything else, the most basic thing is that you can drive a boat, right? There are a number of other things that need to be learned.

If there were no officers to take command, I am afraid that those sailors would not even know how to drive the boat.

As for Gan Ning himself, he will not spend too much energy on the navy, and he can completely follow Yan Shao to fight on the battlefield and make contributions. When the scale of the navy is relatively large in the future, and at the same time it reaches the point where the navy is needed, he himself will return to the navy to be responsible for commanding the operation.

―――――――――――― Dividing Lines――――――――――

"Okay, I really didn't misread Xingba!" Hearing Gan Ning's talk, Yan Shao was very happy, in fact, this is also what Yan Shao thinks in his heart.

Now there is really no place in the north that needs a navy, so Gan Ning was dragged back, and Yan Shao himself was a little distressed.

You said that you don't want to form a water army, what are you dragging Gan Ning back for? But if it is formed, it must be a big investment. At present, Dong Zhuo is in power, the coalition army has become a plate of scattered sand, and the princes are attacking each other, the first thing Yan Shao did when he went back was to rectify military affairs, and then take the other princes of Qingzhou to start the knife.

In addition, now the heroes are divided, not to mention anything else, there are Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian and even Cao Cao and other princes around him alone, I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that Liu Bei and Lu Bu will be added, which can be said to be very lively, although Beihai is rich, but it is only limited to Qingzhou, and Qingzhou has long been tired because of natural disasters and man-made disasters for many years, even if Qingzhou is unified, there is no way to return this land to the richness of the past without a few years of recuperation.

At this time, too many resources are invested in the navy, and there is some suspicion of death.

Yan Shaozheng was happy there, but Gan Ning turned his head to look at Zhao Yun next to him.

"Changshan Zhao Zilong, I have already heard of your name when I was on the river, and now I am fortunate to be under the same lord's account, I should talk to you!" But he moved his mind to compete with Zhao Yun, it was really difficult to find an opponent, and today he finally ran into a Huang Zhong, which was already very enjoyable for Gan Ning, and now he met Zhao Yun again.

Although he hadn't competed with Zhao Yun yet, he had heard of his big name Gan Ning, and the qi coming from Zhao Yun also made Gan Ning faintly feel a hint of threat, which undoubtedly made him extremely interested.

As a martial artist, it is meant to improve oneself through constant challenges.

Not to mention Gan Ning, the previous duel also made Zhao Yun very interested, plus what Gan Ning said was just a discussion, Zhao Yun suddenly said with great interest. "Nothing to do!"

As for Huang Zhong?

After a fight, he ran back to see his son.

I have to say that for Huang Zhong today, I am afraid that there is nothing more important than his son, almost to the point where he can't let go for a moment.

But it's no wonder that Huang Zhong cares so much, it's really okay to have a bumpy river in the recent period, and the boat Yan Shao bought is not a big ship, it can only be regarded as barely strong. It may be nothing for ordinary people, but it is a little uncomfortable for a sick body like Huang Xu, who has been getting better in the past few days, and because of such bumps, his face has turned pale again.

"Lord, it's better to let this son move to my car for the time being..."Seeing Huang Xu's situation, Gan Ning proposed.

As the most courageous water thief on the Yangtze River, Gan Ning's car is of course quite remarkable.

The navy army is different from the infantry army, and in the case of the infantry army, even if the equipment is slightly worse, as long as it is composed of bravery, organization, and tactics, it can defeat enemies who seem to be stronger than themselves. But the navy is different, this is not only a technical job, but also a competition for equipment.

Especially the warship, if your warship is better than the enemy, it can easily defeat the enemy, and even make up for its own shortcomings to a certain extent―――――― of course, this kind of thing is not absolute, the most important thing is to depend on the person.

It is always the people who really decide the war... (To be continued.) )
