Chapter Seventy-Eight—A Mere Child, Not a Cause for Concern

Thinking of Huang Zu's incompetent appearance, Gan Ning flew up angrily and kicked the gravel on the bank into the Yangtze River. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Xingba, how's it going?"

Hearing the words coming from behind him, Gan Ning turned around and shook his head at the visitor: "Cheng Yuan, that Huang Zu is simply a waste, such important information, he actually left it behind after hearing and reading it, if this can hold Sun Ce's army, it is a strange thing!" ”

After Ding Feng listened to Gan Ning's words, he fell into silence and did not speak.

Gan Ning on the side was still indignant: "Just like Huang Zu, this Jiangxia will be lost!" ”

"At the beginning, I thought that it would be better to vote for Jingzhou Liu Biao, but where did I think that everyone here looks down on me and other people from Jiang bandits!"

"They always think they are superior to others, but it turns out that TMD is a great mallet!"

"Even that Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng is not practicing military affairs, and he is still known as one of the eight juniors of Jiangxia, I'm sorry! It's just such a thing, and it's considered Hachijun? ”

"In today's situation of unrest and strife in the world, can he do it without practicing military affairs? I'm afraid that it will not work out in the end! ”

Ding Feng listened to Gan Ning's angry roar, and responded lightly: "Is it useful?" ”

"What does it work? Cheng Yuan, what are you talking about! Gan Ning heard Ding Feng's words and looked confused.

"I'm mean, is it useful for you to scold like that?"

"......" Gan Ning was suddenly choked by Ding Feng's words, he wanted to say that it was useful, but he couldn't open his mouth.

After a long sigh, Gan Ning cast his eyes on the night sky, looked at the starlight that flickered and disappeared from time to time, and slowly spoke.

But I don't know if I am talking to Ding Feng, or only for myself.

"If I had followed that kid at the beginning, I don't know what the scene would be now! At least that kid won't look down on the Jiang bandit I was waiting for! ”

Ding Feng glanced at Gan Ning and responded: "Xingba, if you follow that kid, everyone will become a general!" ”

Gan Ning naturally knew the implicit meaning of Ding Feng's words, but he was just worried that he would not be able to bear the identity of the family general.

After being silent for a while, Gan Ning glanced at Ding Feng, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he opened his mouth: "After this period of time, I found that in fact, as long as you are a general, you are just a general!" It's just that the status of the family generals is different! ”

"Cheng Yuan, you see, if I recognize that kid as the master, I am the kid's general, if I recognize Liu Biao as the master, in fact I am still the general, but the people above are different!"

"Even if he is a general under the Son of Heaven, to put it bluntly, he is just a general under the Son of Heaven!"

"Since they are all generals, what is there to worry about grievances!"

After hearing Gan Ning's words, Ding Feng didn't speak, just quietly looked at Gan Ning with a lonely face, silent.

He knew that at this time, Gan Ning was not reused by Liu Biao, Huang Zu and others, but was often ostracized by the local families in Jingzhou, which made him feel depressed.

If it weren't for the righteous word, I am afraid that Gan Ning at this time would have already fought back and sought a new path.

……

Time flies like a blink of an eye, that is, it has reached April in the fifth year of Jian'an, and at this moment, the Wusong River ferry in Wu County is full of large and small warships.

As early as the end of the fourth year of Jian'an, the Lu family completed the transformation of merchant ships, and a total of five large building ships were renovated, which were used as the command ships of the fleet.

The so-called building ship is a kind of large warship with multi-storey buildings and offensive and defensive facilities, and the appearance looks like a building, so it is called a building ship.

Because the water warfare in this era is mostly based on bow and arrow shooting, ship collision and gang jumping, the size of the ship directly determines the number of sailors and fighters that a single ship can accommodate and the impact force of the ship, so the building ship serves as the main ship of water warfare to a large extent.

However, due to the high height of the ships and the unstable center of gravity, they mostly served as the main force in inland water warfare.

If you run to the sea, hehe, it will sink to you in minutes because of the wind and waves.

The last remaining thirty medium-sized merchant ships were converted into ships.

What is a 艨艟?

"The outside is narrow and long, and the enemy ships are also in conflict with each other!"

It can be seen that the ship is narrow and long, fast and maneuverable, and is the main ship of the navy for assaulting enemy ships.

Around the building and the stern are a circle of small boats that resemble sampans, but their appearance is different from that of sampans.

It is said that it was a newly built war ship of the Lu family, and Sun Quan, the second prince of the Sun family, named it the Red Horse Boat after seeing this kind of ship.

The red horse boat is small and light, and the speed is as fast as a fast horse, which is easy to conceal and can be used for reconnaissance and sneak attacks on inland rivers.

As for the sailors on the warships, they were also trained by Zhou Tai and others, who were originally born in the Jiang bandits, and it was barely possible to simply control the warships to form a battle formation.

But after all, he is not a real naval general, and his application of water warfare is only limited to the set of river bandits, and compared with the old naval army like Jingzhou Water Army, it is naturally inferior.

Since then, the navy in Sun Ce's hands has also had a preliminary appearance, but it is unknown whether it can defeat the Jingzhou navy on the battlefield.

The outcome of everything will only be known after the two sides have played each other.

Sun Ce stood on the ferry, looked at the docked warships in the river, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he turned around and shouted at the army that was preparing to go out: "My father Sun Jian, because of his belief in his villain Huang Zu, died in Jingzhou, as a son of man, this revenge must be avenged!" ”

"This time, I will definitely capture Jiangxia and capture Huang Zu!"

"Embark and go!"

With Sun Ce's order, the army moved and slowly boarded the warship.

After everyone boarded the warship, the newly formed Jiangdong Navy went up the river and set off towards the land of Jingzhou.

And the day before the departure of the Jiangdong Naval Army, Lu Xun, who had received Sun Quan's secret order, had already made some preparations, and took General Qu A and Jiang Qin and others to take a few newly built red horse boats to the Jiangdong Naval Army before the Jiangdong Naval Army towards the land of Jingzhou.

This movement was naturally known to Huang Zu of Jiangxia, after all, Sun Ce did not deliberately hide it when he set off.

With the spread of the news, Huang Zu naturally knew that Sun Ce had come with an army to avenge his father.

However, Huang Zu was dismissive of this news.

When the generals under his command were panicked and spoke to Huang Zu, Huang Zu glanced at the generals who were speaking and said lightly: "The Jiangdong Navy has just been formed, how can it beat my Jingzhou Navy Army?" ”

"It's just a child, don't worry!"
