Regarding Gan Ning's question, Haobai replied directly: "Naturally, I won't treat you badly, now I lack a leading general, and this is your opportunity, after you join, Jingzhou will form a new naval army, led by you." ”

There is no one general in his own hands who can be used, Gan Ning joined, then he is naturally the biggest general, but Gan Ning is good at water warfare, so Haobai will not hand over all the troops to him.

"Meet the Lord!"

Gan Ning directly worshiped Haobai, he was very satisfied with Haobai's words, and there was no problem with the new army, he believed that with his own strength, he could do these things well.

After Gan Ning surrendered, he asked him to take his men to Huining County to find Tian Feng.

The reason why Gan Ning went to Ning County is because now it is different from history, Jingzhou's seat of governance is in Ning County, which is also the result of Haobai's vigorous development when he came to Ning County, and now Ning County is the most populous and developed place in Jingzhou.

......

After accepting Gan Ning, Haobai was in a very good mood, and then because he didn't have a clear goal, Haobai chose a direction at random.

On this day, Haobai rode his horse on the official road, and suddenly, there was a shout of battle in front of him.

Hao Bai rushed to take a look, and saw a man wearing armor, riding a white horse, dressed as a general, fighting with hundreds of bandits.

This person grabbed like a torrential rain, and every shot went out like a pear blossom falling and floating with the wind, and suddenly it came and went like a hundred birds towards a phoenix.

Hao Bai saw that there were no less than twenty dead and wounded bandits around this man, but the surrounding mountain bandits were still screaming and trying to pull him off his horse.

Hao Bai muttered secretly: "This person's strength is comparable to Lu Bu's, and in this era, he is dressed like this, it is none other than Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong." ”

Seeing that the man had picked up the three bandits again, Haobai rushed in directly.

As soon as they saw someone rushing towards him, the group of bandits separated and split up to deal with him.

Hao Bai smiled faintly, waved the spear in his hand, and after a crackling sound, all the bandits who rushed towards him fell to the ground.

On a horse, the bandit leader was startled by Haobai's ferocity, but gritted his teeth and rushed towards him.

Seeing the bandit leader rushing towards Haobai, the person who was suspected to be Zhao Yun hurriedly shouted, "That brother quickly dodge." ”

He wanted to break out of the encirclement, but the surrounding bandit group trapped him, and he was in a hurry, and the big knife in the hand of the bandit leader had already slashed at Haobai.

A cold light flashed and disappeared, like lightning breaking through the sky and leaving a shadow in the sky, but after a while, the bandit leader hung up.

"Your leader is dead, and it will be a long time before you surrender. ”

A group of bandits looked back at Haobai, and someone shouted "retreat", and these bandits rushed to the nearby woods and fled.

Haobai frowned, feeling that something was wrong, these bandits didn't look like bandits no matter how they looked, but like well-trained troops.

"This brother is good at martial arts, I don't know where to go!" Haobai asked, looking at the man.

He clenched his fists and said: "In Xia Changshan Zhao Zilong, I heard that the people under the rule of the hussar general Haobai had enough food and clothing, and I wanted to defect to the general in the army. ”

Haobai guessed that he was Zhao Yun before, but he didn't expect the other party to defect to him.

In fact, Zhao Yun wanted to defect to Haobai, mainly because the people under Haobai's rule were well-fed and clothed, and people like Zhao Yun were dedicated to serving the people, for example, he went to the army with Gongsun Chan before, because Gongsun Chan fought against foreign races.

And then he followed Liu Bei, just because of Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness.

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Haobai suspiciously, and said, "You...... You are General Hao Baihao. ”

Haobai looked at Zhao Yun in surprise and said, "Yes, I am Haobai, but how do you recognize it." ”

"Sure enough, it's General Hao, Zilong visited General Hao, when I was in Youzhou before, I heard Brother Liu say that the force is above Zilong, and there are only Lu Bu and General Haobai in the world, and the general's appearance is ......" Zhao Yun got off the horse and said.

Haobai nodded, the big brother Liu in Zhao Yun's mouth should be Liu Bei, and he didn't expect that Zhao Yun had actually heard of him from Liu Bei.

"Then why didn't you follow Liu Bei, but wanted to go to me. Haobai asked.

"Brother Liu is also very benevolent, but he is still a little deficient compared to General Hao, and after General Gongsun was defeated by Yuan Shao, Brother Liu defected to Cao Cao. ”

"Okay, Zilong has all his skills, if he joins our army, he will definitely be reused, and he will never live up to your ability. Haobai smiled.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Zilong pays a visit to the lord, and is willing to serve the lord's work of dogs and horses." ”

Haobai laughed heartily, this is Zhao Yun, how can Haobai not be happy.

"By the way, those bandits didn't look like bandits before, but a little like soldiers in the army......" Haobai said Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Lord, those people are indeed not bandits, there was a child of a family who fell in love with my horse before, so he has been pestering. ”

Haobai looked at Zhao Yun's horse, and understood that Zhao Yun's horse was indeed an extremely rare good horse, and it was also on the same level as the Red Rabbit Horse, and it was normal to be targeted by others.

No wonder hundreds of people on the other side have been entangled with Zhao Yun before, you must know that even if the force is high to the level of Zhao Yun, if hundreds of people on the other side shoot arrows together, it is also extremely dangerous.

......

Yangzhou, Shouchun.

Shouchun, the original capital of the last years of the Chu State, is bordered by the river in the north, Dongjindu in the east, Chengxi Lake in the west, and ten miles in the south, with a radius of seven or eight miles.

It was the second largest capital of the Warring States Period, and after Yuan Shu's recent painstaking management, the city was built with thick walls and solid walls.

At this time, Shouchun is about to come in a storm, because it is about to become the capital.

After the general's mansion is full of lanterns, a large row of wine banquets, gongs and drums are full of joy, today is the birthday of Feng, the wife of the later general Yuan Shu.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the general's mansion, and if this was coming, they had to give a generous gift, and the officials dug out their minds, sending piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, and the vulgar ones sending gold and silver treasures, and the tents of several generals' mansions were busy.

Yuan Shu was full of spring breeze, sat on his head, proudly accepted the promotion of various officials, and everything was ready.

Thinking that he would only wait for all the officials to arrive, he would announce the title of emperor, and his heart was excited.

His confidants and lovers will be divided into the back hall of the General's Mansion, and the generals include Zhang Xun, Ji Ling and others, all wearing armor and swords.

Wenchen has Yang Hong and Yan Xiang, all of whom wear scribe crowns and hand-cranked feather fans, and look like strategizing.

And standing next to Yuan Shu was his eldest son Yuan Yao.

At this moment, Yuan Shu's face was full of red, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, because he would soon become the son of heaven who was "ordered by heaven and lived forever".

When the time for the banquet came, Yuan Shu saw that everyone had arrived, got up and smiled, and slowly walked to the front of the desk to stand still.

Once an incident starts today, no matter whether it is success or failure, there is no turning back, either to become an emperor or to be in a different place, such a major decision cannot be stirred by his mind.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials knew that Yuan Shu had something to say, so they hurriedly stood up and turned to look at the front of the hall.

"Everyone!" Yuan Shu's expression was awe-inspiring, and he took a step forward, and his voice became stable and high-pitched: "General Ben has a word, I must discuss with you!"

Everyone looked awe-inspiring and looked at Yuan Shu quietly, most of them already knew about it, and only a few people didn't know about it.
