Warships are generally found along the coast or in the Yangtze River system. For example, there are sailors in the south of the Yangtze River, there are also sailors in Jiangdong, and water divisions can also be cultivated in Dongting Lake and other waters, and Qingzhou and Xuzhou are adjacent to the mouth of the Yellow River and are coastal areas, so it is also easy to raise water divisions.

But in the inland areas, there are basically no sailors.

If you want to raise a sailor, it is not enough to have warships and sailors, but also to have a relatively vast body of water.

This is the fundamental reason why inland areas cannot have sailors.

Outside Xicheng County, where the Han River flows, there is naturally a wharf. On weekdays, the docks are only docked with small merchant ships, or some fishing boats, and warships usually do not visit here.

After all, even the nearest Jingxiang Sailor wanted to drive the warship along the Han River into the Hanzhong territory, and no one was so full to support it. The Han River is not too deep, and the five-masted warships are easy to run aground, and only the three-masted warships can drive in front of them. Moreover, if someone ambushes in the lofty mountains on both sides of the Han River and rashly runs into the warship of the Hanzhong territory, it is easy to be sunk.

"Congratulations, my lord, we can establish a water master!"

Hearing that there was a warship docked outside the city, Zhuge Liang immediately congratulated Liu Bei.

"Why, listen to the military advisor, those warships outside the city, the military advisor knows who they are?"

was congratulated by Zhuge Kongming for a while, and Liu Bei was not surprised, but was in a very happy mood. Obviously, the three warships outside the city were also voted by a certain sailor general, right?

Some time ago, he wrote so many solicitation letters, even if Liu Bei had the heart, he didn't know the specific location of these solicitation letters, so naturally he didn't know that one of them was sent to the sailor camp of Huang Zu in Jiangxia.

"One of the fierce generals in the Jiangxia Naval Division, Gan Ning." Zhuge Liang replied.

Zhuge Liang just mentioned this, and Liu Bei remembered who Gan Ning was.

Of course, Liu Bei naturally didn't know about Gan Ning's resume, but when he first solicited letters, he had heard Zhuge Kongming mention that Gan Ning had the talent to serve as the commander of the water division, but he was in the water division camp of Jiangxia Huangzu.

"Since he is willing to bring a warship to vote, let's also go out of the city to welcome him!" Zhuge Liang suggested.

……

Outside the east gate of Xicheng County, there is a wharf three or five miles away. On the pier, three warships have anchored. The sergeant on the warship did not get off the ship, and on the warship in the middle, Gan Ning was looking at Xicheng County.

When he first received Uncle Liu's solicitation letter, to be honest, Gan Ning hesitated.

If he had a choice, he Gan Ning would definitely not want to come to Hanzhong and take refuge in Uncle Liu Huang.

In other words, who is Uncle Liu?

Before receiving the solicitation letter, Gan Ning really hadn't heard of this person.

is an unknown person, but he wants to recruit him Gan Ning, is his Gan Ning's ability only enough, or is the other party delusional?

Later, after many inquiries, Gan Ning finally knew who Uncle Liu Huang was.

can marry Jin Lan with Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yideyi, I think that Liu Bei is also a character, right?

Under the Tiger Prison, the deeds of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu are now known all over the world, saying that Uncle Liu Huang may not have many people who he is talking about, but when it comes to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they all know who they are talking about, and by the way, they also know the eldest brother of Guan and Zhang.

Of course, the most important thing for Gan Ning is that Uncle Liu Huang is a relative of the Han family.

Although he Gan Ning was born as a water thief, he wanted to help Han in his heart.

At first, he was Liu Yan.

However, after Liu Yan's death, his son Liu Zhang was not only weak and incompetent, but also a corner of peace, which did not conform to his ideals of Gan Ning.

If so, Gan Ning abandoned Xichuan and went to Jingzhou.

After all, Liu Biao in Jingzhou is also a legitimate member of the Han family.

Moreover, Liu Biao's strength is not weak, and Jingxiang is the richest state and county in the world.

However, after becoming Liu Jingzhou's subordinate, Gan Ning found that ideals and reality are always at odds.

After Liu Jingzhou sat on Jingxiang, he also did not want to forge ahead, and now he is enjoying his old age in peace.

At the same time, there were many factions in Jingxiang, and he Gan Ning was assigned to the account of Jiangxia Huangzu, and he could only waste in the camp of the water division.

was unwilling to waste in Jiangxia, and was disappointed in Liu Jingzhou.

Therefore, when Gan Ning figured out who Uncle Liu Huang was, he had the idea of defecting to Uncle Liu Huang, and he was ready to try it under Uncle Liu Huang, if Liu Bei also disappointed him Gan Ning, it would be a big deal for him to go back to the Yangtze River to be a thief.

After preparing to change jobs, Gan Ning did not come directly to Hanzhong.

According to the information he inquired, there was no sailor under Uncle Liu's command. He Gan Ning defected to the past, and he would definitely establish a sailor for Uncle Liu Huang. However, the sailor cannot be established by one person.

Therefore, the first thing Gan Ning has to do is to dig the corner of the Jingzhou water division.

Three warships, plus two hundred elite sailors, this is already the limit of what Gan Ning can dig into the corner.

After all, the Jinfan thieves who followed him to Jingzhou at the beginning are now not much left.

The Han River is a major tributary of the Yangtze River, but the five-masted warships cannot be passed in the Hanshui, and the three warships that Gan Ning chose are the best three-masted. Although it is not as tall and mighty as the five-masted warship, it is already the limit of passage in the inland rivers.

……

"I don't know, will Uncle Liu Huang go out of the city to greet him?" Looking at Xicheng County, Gan Ning thought so in his heart.

docked the warship at the dock in Xicheng County, and Gan Ning did not get off the ship, just to see if Uncle Liu Huang would go out of the city to greet him.

This is a question of waiting for the price to be sold, not Gan Ning's pretense.

The warship arrived in Xicheng County, and Gan Ning didn't believe that Uncle Liu Huang didn't know that he Gan Ning was coming.

The question is, will Uncle Liu Huang go out of the city to greet him?

About half a pillar of incense, Gan Ning saw what he wanted:

Dozens of elite horsemen opened the way, and several guards were rushing towards the docks.

Obviously, this is Uncle Liu Huang coming out of the city!

Gan Ning breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his frowning brows finally relaxed.

"Order, all the soldiers disembark and line up on the dock!"

Gan Ning gave an order to the soldiers around him, and soon, a command flag was waving on the ship.

The command of the sailor, and the communication between the warships of the sailor, are all using the command flag.

……

Uncle Liu's personal guard battalion soon blocked the entire dock.

On the wharf, there are still some small merchant ships, which are all ordered to be closed at this time, or they are far away and temporarily leave Xicheng County.

Liu Bei is the main father-in-law, and his safety is tied to the entire Liu Huangshu group, so naturally he cannot be sloppy.

Previously, Liu Bei didn't care much about his personal safety, and even charged into battle, he had done it more than once.

But after Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he changed this rhythm.

If Liu Bei wants to charge again, it is obviously impossible.

Moreover, whenever the lord travels, there must be a large number of guards around him.

Because, Sun Ce Yinjian in the previous life is not far away!
