Ignoring Guo Jia's opposition, He Xian forcibly took Guo Jia onto Gan Ning's warship. It was an offensive warship with good protection in the Han Dynasty. The entire cabin and deck of the ship are covered with cowhide for fire protection. There are several oars on each side of the board for the oars to insert the boat and for rowers to row. There are three cabins above deck, which are also wrapped in raw cowhide to prevent enemy fire. Each deck has crossbow windows on all sides, and spear holes can be used to attack enemies in all directions. The enemy cannot advance, and the arrow cannot be defeated.

For more than a year, Gan Ning has mainly done two things in Jiangxia County: one is to train sailors, and the second is to supervise the construction of warships.

The warship is majestic, maneuverable, and easy for water fighting, and it is much more stable than a ferry boat. Therefore, even a northerner like Guo Jia, who is extremely afraid of water, vomited for a day on top of the ship. By the next day, Guo Jia should be able to eat normally and no longer feel scared. On the third day, Guo Jia was already able to walk freely on the boat, and he was not as dizzy as before, obviously adapting.

"Xingba, the copper and silver taels you are going to go to this year are to build this warship?" After adapting, Guo Jia followed He Xian to inspect around the ship, and asked a few questions from time to time.

In the project of forming the Nanyang Water Army, Gan Ning was directly responsible for Guo Jia, and Guo Jia was responsible for mobilizing money, food and materials for him. Because He Xian attaches great importance to the water army, Guo Jia has never embarrassed Gan Ning, and all the general requirements are met.

"Exactly! There are now ten such warships, and there are now ten of them, which can support a large-scale and small-scale water battle! Gan Ning reported.

"It's not enough! Xingba continues to work hard, and when Jiangnan is pacified, the navy will be the absolute main force! Even after Jiangnan is pacified, the Nanyang Navy will be expanded into a navy, and the sea is the real challenge for us! Xingba has a long way to go! He Xian said with emotion.

He Xian's cake was painted very big, but Gan Ning was very happy to hear it. The more majestic the goal, the more Gan Ning feels important! He secretly vowed that he must use his ships and fighting ships to form a navy to conquer the oceans. It's just that He Xian didn't tell him that the ship was not suitable for going to sea. The ocean is not as gentle as rivers and lakes, and sea boats need to be redesigned and built. But this is all a plan for the next one or two decades, and there is no need to tell Gan Ning too early how difficult it is. Step by step, move forward, and one day you will be able to reach your goal.

Three days later, He Xian and his entourage arrived near Wankou Port in Lujiang County. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gan Ning parked the warship in a remote wild harbor. On the wild harbor, a caravan was already waiting. The person at the head is He Xian's special operations squad leader: He Qian!

The establishment of the special operations squad has not expanded, and it is still 88 people, but according to the combat exploits made over the years, any member of the team here is at least the title of Qu Chang, and he can lead 100 people to fight in a normal army. And He Qian himself has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant of Zhongwu for his military exploits. This is an out-and-out meritorious squad, and the strength is strong! They appeared in Lujiang, and they definitely didn't come to visit.

Seeing He Qian appear, Xiaoqiang finally believed that He Xian was here to do business.

"Aren't you really here to enjoy the landscape?" He Qiang lowered his voice and asked He Xiandao.

He Xian glanced at Xiao Qiang and did not speak, his eyes were full of contempt. I thought: When I explain it to you well, you don't believe it, how about it? Now I've been slapped in the face by my son, right?

Looking at Guo Jia again, this Si's face was solemn, as if he had long known that He Xian was here to do business. A strategist is a strategist, he changes his face when he says he changes, and he has an unfathomable look, and his kung fu of pretending to be forced is absolutely first-class.

"I've seen the two sons, the carriage has been prepared, how about I wait to get in the car?" He Qian looked like a philistine, imitating the shopkeeper of a Nanyang caravan vividly. Xiao Qiang looked at He Qian with a confused expression, with an expression of IQ arrears. knew that the person in front of him was He Qian, but he was a little afraid to recognize him, because in He Gan's eyes, he couldn't see the feeling of acquaintance at all. If He Xian and others didn't know his identity, they would have been deceived by his seamless acting skills.

After boarding the carriage and sitting down steadily, He Xian opened his mouth and asked He Qian: "How is the mission going?" Is the search for people going well? ”

He Gandao: "According to the information given by Gongzi, we have found four Tianzi-level talents. They are Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhou Yu and Lu Su. But unfortunately, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and Zhou Yu have all been moved by Sun Jian's words and joined the Jiangdong Army. “

As he spoke, He Qian took out a close-fitting parchment roll from his chest, spread it out and handed it to He Xian. Guo Jia secretly glanced at it, and saw that some names were densely recorded on it, which seemed to be a talent directory.

He Xian took the parchment roll, looked at it hurriedly, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Sun Wentai will definitely become our fierce enemy!" It's really fast, and the civil and military roads have accumulated a lot of talents! ”

"What about Lu Su? Listen to what you mean, Lu Su hasn't joined the Jiangdong Army yet? He Xian paused and pointed to Lu Zijing's column and asked.

"Definitely! Lu Su is currently the Dongcheng Commander, which belongs to Liu Xun, the commander of Lujiang County of Yuan Shujun. But Sun Ce had already arrived in Lujiang, and it is said that Lu Su and Zhou Yu had an unbreakable friendship like Gongsun Qiao and Ji Zha. Now that Zhou Yu has joined Jiangdong, Lu Su is afraid that he also has a belonging......" He Qian reported while taking the parchment roll and putting it away closely.

"It's still a step late...... He Xian sighed, "Sun Jian and Sun Ce are really people with the aura of pig's feet, and their strength is not yet obvious, but there are already a lot of cattle people following. “

Guo Jia quietly listened to He Xian muttering to himself, and couldn't help but ask, "Childe, what kind of treasure is this pig's foot halo?" It has such a miraculous effect! “

He Xian was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "The pig's foot halo is the local dialect of our Wuyang County, which is equivalent to the meaning of high fame. “

"The vernacular of Wuyang?" Guo Jia secretly wondered, Yingchuan didn't seem to be too far away from Wuyang, why had he never heard of such a metaphor before?

Just thinking about it, He Xian opened his mouth and asked He Qian again: "Are there any traces of Lu Xun, Gu Yong, Tai Shici and others?" “

He Qian shook his head and said, "The subordinates are incompetent, and these people are still searching." ”

He Xian waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" At least it can be determined that these people have not been used by Sun Jian, and they can be regarded as useful information! ”

"Gu Yong? Are you talking about Wu Jun Gu Yuansi? Guo Jia listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly interjected.

"Does the military advisor know Gu Yuansi's whereabouts?" He Qian asked with some excitement.
