Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei looked at Wang Xuan, and Wang Xuan spread his hands......

"It's useless to look for me, this matter, either count on Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's horse trafficking channels, then wait for the shipyard in Taixiang to be completed as soon as possible, the best way is to go to Gongsun Bogui by sea and land, what is the matter of horses on his side, whether we use iron horses or food, or anything to exchange with him, the problem is, the ship must be built slowly!"

"These shipwrights have just finished learning from me how to build ships with a displacement of 500 tons, and there are 1,000 tons and higher, even if it is a ship with a displacement of 500 tons, it is more than 200 horses at a time, after all, it is a living thing!"

"Two hundred, so many?" Jian Yong and Liu Bei looked surprised.

"How?" Wang Xuan glanced around, waved his hand to let the others disperse, and then whispered, "Why do you think I want to make a water army?" There are 20 large ships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, so we can transport 10,000 soldiers and enough grain and grass materials to Jizhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou at one time, and choose the landing site at will, do you understand what this means? ”

"No matter how many checkpoints you have established, along the river and the river, you can also throw troops at will, what checkpoints, what grain routes, and where you want to fight!"

Liu Bei: "w(?Д?) w”

Jian Yong: "Σ(っ°Д°; )っ”

"Shh Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows and patted the shoulders of the two of them, "If you don't move, it's enough, and if you move, it's thunderous!" ”

"Zhou Tai Jiang Qin has already sent me back to the Yangtze River to recruit those water thieves in the past, how much can I get back, they are all water-based, the seeds of the future water army."

"In addition, I also let Guan Hai go to Donglai, we also have a sea thief in Qingzhou, Guan Cheng, there are a lot of people, mainly to go to Xuzhou to rob for a living."

"Get them all back, and you will have the foundation of the water army."

Liu Bei and Jian Yong's eyes flashed with excitement.

……

On the other side, Gan Ning set off with eight hundred brocade sail thieves and more than a dozen boats and fighting ships.

In terms of the entire Yangtze River water thieves, Gan Ning is the most well-equipped, after all, the family background is different, the kind of civilian shipwreck, boat, flat boat, light boat or something, Gan Ning is absolutely not looking down, although he is a thief, but looking at his sails to hang gold bells with brocade, it can be seen that this guy is still very good-looking, very sassy, even if it is a thief, it is also to be the most compelling thief.

These dozen boats and fighting ships were basically grabbed in the Jingzhou Naval Army!

Yes, the water thieves robbed the water army...... This is not surprising, Liu Biao's command of the water army is Cai Mao and Huang Zu, but Cai Mao is basically in Xiangyang, and Huang Zu sits in Jiangxia to guard against Yuan Shu, but there are many cities above the river, and it is not that there is no water army stationed, with Gan Ning's force, it is definitely not possible to rob Huang Zu, but those small cities...... In front of Gan Ning, a master of the realm of outward release, she is like a little girl, she can only put on various postures and let Gan Ning take what she wants.

Therefore, in a small-scale battle, the eight hundred water thieves in Gan Ning's hands are really strong.

Although Zhou Tai also has the realm of Gang Qi release, but it is different from Jiang Qin's two water thief teams, starting from Poyang Lake throughout the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, more than 1,000 miles along the way, many strongholds, huge number of personnel, tens of thousands of people scattered down can not show much, in order to adapt to a variety of narrow and complex terrain, Zhou Tai Jiang Qin's command is mostly to go boats, bows, boats, flat boats, light boats, boats, only a few fighting boats town, usually for fishermen along the way, when there is a sale, it will suddenly pull clothes, Revealing a chest full of chest hair, he turned into a bandit.

Really speaking, although Gan Ning's subordinates are called Jinfan thieves, they are more regular troops trained by him according to the military book, Zhou Tai Jiang Qin is the Jiang bandit who has the right eight classics, Gan Ning has absolute control over his subordinates, and Zhou Tai Jiang Qin...... It is the big leader, and each of the following strongholds has its own leader, and he respects Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin as the main leader.

Relying on the familiarity with the terrain, Gan Ning and his party of 800 people took advantage of the night to quickly pass through Jiangxia and enter the Yangzhou territory, and when they arrived here, even if the sky was high and the bird was over, the current Yangzhou was in chaos, and the Yangzhou assassin who was nominally appointed by the imperial court was Chen Wen, but Yuan Shaoyou accepted his cousin Shanyang Taishou Yuan as the assassin history, in fact, both of them had no fart rights.

There are wars going on north of the river, Yuan Shu takes the little overlord Sun Ce as the vanguard, and Zhou Yu as the military advisor, and is tearing up with Yuan Yi's cousin, Yuan Yi is losing and retreating, and he has no intention of taking care of it, and he is not able to deal with the problems on the Yangtze River.

The entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are basically in a state of self-control, and the families headed by the four major families of Jiangdong, Zhu, Yu, Gu, and Lu are making self-control, and everyone is staggered and reaches a balance with each other, which makes the entire Jiangdong extremely closed and does not like to accept people from other parts of the Han Dynasty.

Jiang bandits, including Zhou Tai, are not capable of eradicating them, let alone blocking a small-scale army like Gan Ning.

Sitting on the bow of the boat, looking at the rudimentary map in his hand, Gan Ning fell into deep thought, wanting to make a name for himself on Liu Bei's side, is it a bit too little to bring eight hundred people and a dozen boats alone?

The first time he came to the door, although it was not a kiss, but there was always a gift to take, but what to give was very particular, his understanding of Liu Bei, including the forces under his command, was limited to what he knew from the mouth of the Mi family envoy, and at this time he needed to use his own brain.

While I was thinking about it, I heard a shout, "Brothers on the river, can you take my family across the river!?" ”

You must know that this Gan Ning and his entourage can be in the middle of the river, two or three hundred meters away from the shore, and the wind on the river is relatively strong, but this voice seems to be ringing in the ears, which shows that the skill of the person who shouted is really not low.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the source of the sound, two carriages were parked on the shore, and a middle-aged man was standing on the shore looking this way, Gan Ning raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to stop the others, and his boat turned around and headed towards the shore.

The middle-aged man standing at the bow of the boat and looking at the shore shouting, the closer he got to Gan Ning, the more solemn his face became, they were all people who practiced martial arts, as long as it was not Zhao Yun's special, whether it was a master or not, it was obvious at a glance that the middle-aged man in front of him put great pressure on Gan Ning, which had never been seen before.

There were still dozens of meters from the shore, so Gan Ning reached out and picked up his weapon, the halberd in his right hand, and the short gun on the left and right flew directly to the shore with a heavy step on the bow of the boat.

"In Xia Jinfan, Ganning Ganxingba, didn't ask for advice?" Holding the weapon upside down, Gan Ning clasped his fists and saluted.

"It turned out to be Jinfan Gan Ning in person, the old Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng have seen the big boss, I don't know if I can trouble the big boss to take my car and horse across the river on a boat, this frame is a bit big, and it is really difficult to fit an ordinary civilian boat." Huang Zhong claims to be old, but in fact, he is only in his early forties, and with his profound skills, he can't see his old age.

Change to someone else, I heard that it was a group of river thieves, where would they dare to let the other party carry themselves across the river, but for Huang Zhong, what is dangerous, it is completely non-existent, even if there is, it is the other party who is more dangerous.
