"I've seen General Zhao!" As soon as Zhao Feng changed his clothes and came to the living room, a thin man in his thirties hugged his fist towards Zhao Feng.

"Why do you need to be polite, I don't know who Mr. is?" Zhao Feng asked while returning the salute. Zhao Feng asked a little knowingly, but it's better to be careful in everything, isn't it? I took a closer look at the person in front of me, although he looked relatively thin, but his knuckles were thick and calloused, and he knew that he was a good man.

Seeing Zhao Feng ask like this, this person was also a little stunned, and then said with a smile: "General Zhao sent people everywhere to look for him half a year ago, why is he in front of him now, but he doesn't know it?" ”

"Your Excellency must be the Jinfan Man Gan Ning who crosses the Yangtze River! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! Zhao Feng was basically sure of the identity of the person who came, and hurriedly saluted. Gan Ning was also overjoyed when he heard this, he was nicknamed the Jinfan Thief in the Yangtze River, although this nickname was majestic, but the word thief always sounded a little indecent. Now Zhao Feng calls him Jin Fan Hero, obviously taking care of his face, there is a way to wear thousands of clothes without wearing sycophants, and this time Gan Ning also has a good impression of the seemingly polite General Zhao in front of him.

After some politeness, the two sat down, and Zhao Feng asked: "Although Zhao sent someone to look for the strong man before, I don't know why Gan Zhuangshi actually came to Xuzhou to find Zhao in person?" To be honest, Zhao Feng was also a little puzzled, did he really have the aura of the legendary king or the aura of the protagonist, which made people run away at first sight?

Gan Ning also smiled when he heard this, and then said: "I can't hide it, when I heard my subordinates say that General Zhao of Xuzhou has visited many times, Ning was very surprised in his heart, I don't know why people from Xuzhou came to the Yangtze River to find me." Later, I heard that the general and Lord Lu Su were training sailors in the Huai River to build warships, and then I realized that the general wanted Ning to come to serve Xuzhou. In order to be safe, Ning specially sent a few brothers to sign up for the army and see what happened. As a result, the brothers all said that the Xuzhou Navy Division's warship was sharp and the water village was ingenious. Ning also knows that being a water thief is not a long-term solution, and he has long wanted to find a master to work, do a career, and live up to this martial arts, so he deliberately came to Xuzhou to see what happened. Seeing that Xu Yu Erzhou was under the rule of Uncle Liu Huang, all industries were prosperous, the people were rich, and the soldiers were strong, so he was willing to vote for it, and hoped that the general would recommend it on his behalf! After speaking, Gan Ning also bowed again.

"Why should a strong man be polite!" Zhao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but there was a pang in his heart: this Gan Ning is careful in his work, and he has to find out the truth before he defects. After figuring out the intention, it was easy to say anything, Zhao Feng immediately ordered someone to set up a small banquet to entertain Gan Ning, and said that the dinner table can best shorten the distance between people, and the two talked for a long time during the banquet, and finally got acquainted with each other a lot.

"It turns out that Gan Zhuangshi is actually from Yizhou?" Zhao Feng was really unexpected when Gan Ning talked about his origins, and he didn't seem to say it in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. "Exactly, the villain is a native of Yizhou Ba County, and his family is also a big family in Yizhou, and he has no choice but to lead people to the Yangtze River to beg for a living, and he left home at the age of eighteen, and it has been almost ten years!" Gan Ning shook his head again and again after speaking, very helpless.

"Don't be anxious, after you become famous, you can return home!" Zhao Feng didn't want to speak too carefully, so he just comforted him a few words at the moment, and then promised to take Gan Ning to see Liu Bei tomorrow.

"Villain Gan Ning, meet Uncle Liu Huang!" In the hall of Xuzhou Mansion, Gan Ning visited Liu Bei. Rao is that he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is very bold, and he is also a little uneasy in the face of this imperial captain.

"Gan Zhuang doesn't have to be polite!" Liu Bei was very accommodating and let him be exempted, and after some conversation, Liu Bei immediately named Gan Ning as a general and served under the tent of Lu Su's water army.

"I'd rather not know the etiquette, how can I be a general?" Gan Ning was also shocked when he saw that Liu Bei immediately made him a general. Although this will be the lowest-ranking general, or even a deputy general, according to the formation, the maximum number of soldiers will be 3,000. But Gan Ning still didn't expect Liu Bei to be so generous, he originally thought that he would be able to give a lieutenant at the beginning, and he was ready to be a captain.

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Bei is from a small background, and this etiquette is not very exquisite. We only need to behave decently, what's the use of talking about so much red tape, we are not those Confucian gentlemen. Gan Ning was even more grateful when he heard this, and he was completely convinced.

There are about 1,000 Jinfan water thieves in Ganning, and when the second batch of martial arts students of Xuzhou Academy were training, Zhao Feng deliberately joined the water training, so the three hundred people are all proficient in water. Coupled with the original more than 8,000 people, Xuzhou finally gathered 10,000 sailors.

"What a boat!" Seeing that the Xuzhou naval warships in the Huai River came and went, which were faster than ordinary warships, Gan Ning was also greatly convinced. This is exactly what Zhao Feng designed, and the loach boats produced by Lu Xun all use impellers instead of oars as the drive. In order to ensure the strength of its key component, the impeller, Zhao Feng even asked Lu Xun to wrap a layer of iron sheet on the impeller, so that ordinary arrows could not shoot through, and later even the side and hull of the ship were wrapped with iron sheets. Dozens of loach boats, ranging in size from 50 to 500 people. Although Gan Ning heard from his subordinates that the Xuzhou Navy ship was sharp, it was also an eye-opener for him to see this loach ship for the first time. When I saw the water village built by Lu Su, I was even more amazed and admired Lu Su and Zhao Feng.

"Xingba, do you think this loach boat and the Xuzhou sailor compare to the Jingxiang sailor and the Jiangdong sailor?" Zhao Feng knew that although Gan Ning looked like a hillbilly who had never seen the world now, in fact he was just shocked by the advanced equipment. In terms of the understanding of the various water masters in the world, there are really few people who are better than him.

Sure enough, Gan Ning also pondered for a long time after hearing this, and then said cautiously: "Jiangdong Sailor is well-deserved to be the first in the world, and Zhou Gongjin is the first person in the world in water warfare. As for the Jingxiang Water Division, although it is also considered elite, Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou Water Division, is not as good as Zhou Gongjin. If the number of people is equal, although the Xuzhou Sailor has not yet been fully trained, it may be slightly inferior to the Jiangdong Sailor by relying on the speed of the boat, but it is not inferior to the Jingxiang Sailor. However, there are only more than 10,000 sailors in Xuzhou, and the number is really not enough, so they can only protect themselves at the moment. ”

"Almost!" Zhao Feng also has a little foundation in his heart. There are 50,000 Jingxiang Naval Division, and 30,000 Jiangdong Naval Army, 30,000! You are 30,000 fish, and Zhao Feng will catch them for half a month. (I would like to pay tribute to the new "Three Kingdoms" directed by Gao Xixi in this paragraph!) ）

Just when Gan Ning and Zhao Feng were talking about the future of the Xuzhou Naval Division, at this time, in Guandu on the bank of the Yellow River, the two armies were facing each other, and it was Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, who were fighting for the hegemony of the north, who were fighting here.

"Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes of your family, but this time you led the army to invade my border and disturb Your Majesty in Xuchang, don't you want to rebel like Brother Ling? Today, I am begging the thief by the edict of the Son of Heaven, and I will surrender quickly! In front of the two armies, Cao Ying said with a righteous and awe-inspiring face.

"Hahaha! Cao Agui, who in the world doesn't know that you coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and you still dare to claim to be in order? This time I am the one who is ordered to beg the thief! Yuan Shao was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, and he said arrogantly on the horse.

"What do you have to do?" Cao Ying couldn't help but get angry, and as soon as he said it, he knew that he was stupid to ask.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao on the other side shouted when he heard this: "I beg the thief with the edict of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Is it tolerable or unbearable, Cao Ying was immediately furious when he heard this, looked around at the generals, saw Xu Chu on his side, and immediately ordered: "Zhongkang, take down this thief with me!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Chu replied angrily, and then slapped the horse and danced the knife to take Yuan Shao directly. Yuan Shao did not panic when he saw this, and ordered Yan Liang, the general next to him, known as the head of the four court pillars in Hebei, to step forward to fight the enemy.

In the past, it was said that Yuan Shao pacified Hebei, because of his illustrious family background, he was a virtuous corporal, and Hebei Haojie defected to him. Yan Liangwen is ugly, and Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan are collectively known as the four court pillars of Hebei, and they have all come to vote. plus Yuan Shao's original henchman Ju Yi, and Han Meng, who defected later, are all capable generals under Yuan Shao. Later, although Ju Yi was killed by Yuan Shao because of his high merit and arrogance, the other five people were also extraordinary, known as the pillars of the four courts in Hebei. Now that Gao Ran has defected to Liu Bei, this Liang Han Meng has also taken the position of the last court pillar.

"Hey!" Xu Chu and Yan Liang are both anxious people, and they both chose to go all out at the first time, but this time it was an even situation. Both of them have not met opponents for a long time, and they are excited at the moment, and they are doing their best.

Xu Chu's steel knife is called Shanjun, Mountain Jun, and Tiger. Legend has it that when Xu Chu was farming in Xujia Village, there was a story that the cattle in the village were dragged away by the tigers coming down from the Funiu Mountain. After some fighting, Xu Chu killed two tigers, but he was also seriously injured. Xu Chu is an idle person, and he has nothing to do during the period of recuperation, so he can only carefully recall the scene of fighting with the tiger, and over time, if he has realized, he has actually comprehended a set of exquisite knife techniques from it. After recovering from the injury, he practiced diligently, and it was really extraordinary, and since then his martial arts have been refined. After defecting to Cao Ying, Cao Ying valued him very much, and specially ordered skilled craftsmen to tailor this Shanjun knife for him. The handle of this knife is six feet long, the blade is two feet eight inches long, and it weighs forty-eight pounds. Seeing such a heavy blade, in Xu Chu's hand, it was like a wooden stick moving Xiang Ling, attacking Yan Liang like a stormy wave.

If you change people, you may have collapsed long ago under Xu Chu's fierce offensive. However, Yan Liang, as the head of the four court pillars in Hebei, can make a great reputation in Hebei, which is full of heroes, and naturally has its own merits. Seeing that the long knife in his hand was either dialing or blocking, it didn't seem to be so strong, but every time it intersected with Xu Chu's blade, it was also equal, which showed that it was extraordinary.

The shape of the long knife in Yan Liang's hand is very strange, the blade is long and narrow, but the head of the knife is sharp, and it is often swung out or slashed or stabbed or cut, which is unpredictable. One of the two was fierce and the other was restrained, and they fought evenly for a while, and the officers and men of the two armies were all stunned. All the generals knew that such a master duel was rare, and they all watched intently at the moment, confirming their own martial arts, and each had their own gains.
