Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 69 Jinfan Ganning
"I've seen General Zhao!" Zhao Feng had just changed his clothes and came to the living room, when a yellow and thin man in his thirties cupped his fists and said to Zhao Feng.

"Why do you need to be so polite, sir?" Zhao Feng asked while returning the salute.Zhao Feng is a bit knowing what to ask, but you should be careful in everything, right?He took a closer look at the person in front of him. Although he looked thinner, his hands were thick and calloused. He could tell he was a connoisseur at a glance.

Seeing Zhao Feng asking such a question, the man was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and said: "General Zhao sent people to search everywhere half a year ago, why is he in front of him today, but he doesn't recognize him?"

"Your Excellency must be Jin Fan Xia Gan Ning who crossed the Yangtze River! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Zhao Feng now basically confirmed the identity of the visitor, and quickly saluted.Gan Ning was also overjoyed when he heard the words, he was nicknamed "Jinfan Thief" because of his mighty Yangtze River. Although this nickname is majestic, the word "thief" always sounds a bit indecent.Now Zhao Feng called him Jinfan Xia, obviously out of consideration for his face, and he said that Gan Ning's affection for the gentle-looking General Zhao in front of him was greatly increased.

After some courtesies, the two sat down as guests and hosts, and Zhao Feng asked: "Although Mr. Zhao sent someone to look for the strong man before, I don't know why Mr. Gan came to Xuzhou to find Mr. Zhao in person?" To be honest, Zhao Feng was also a little bit Wondering, do I really have the legendary aura of domineering or the halo of the protagonist, so that people will wholeheartedly go to him at the first sight?

Gan Ning also smiled when he heard the words, and then said: "To be honest, I heard my subordinates say that General Zhao from Xuzhou had visited many times, Ning was very surprised, I don't know why people from Xuzhou came to the Yangtze River to look for me. Later, I heard that the general and Lord Lu Su were training in the navy and building warships on the Huaihe River. Only then did I realize that the general wanted Ning to come to serve Xuzhou. To be safe, Ning specially sent a few brothers to sign up to join the navy to see what happened. The brothers all said that the Xuzhou Navy's warships are sharp and the water fortresses are ingenious. Ning also knows that being a water thief is not a long-term solution. First come to Xuzhou to see what happened. Seeing that Xuzhou and Yuzhou are under the rule of Liu Huangshu, all industries are prosperous, the people are rich, and the army is strong, so I am willing to vote for it, and I hope the general will recommend it for you!" After speaking, Gan Ning bowed again.

"Gan Zhuang, why do you need to be so polite!" Zhao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but his heart trembled: this Gan Ning is careful in his work, and he has to find out the truth before he flees.After figuring out the purpose of coming, it was easy to talk about anything, Zhao Feng immediately ordered someone to host a small banquet for Gan Ning, they all said that the dinner table can bring people closer together, the two chatted for a long time during the dinner, and finally got to know each other a lot .

"So Gan Zhuang is actually from Yizhou?" Zhao Feng was also really surprised when Gan Ning mentioned his origin, remembering that he didn't seem to mention it in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. "Exactly, the villain is from Berkshire, Yizhou. His family was originally a big family in Yizhou. Later, his family fell into poverty. In desperation, he led his people to the Yangtze River to seek a living. It has been almost ten years since he left home. !” After Gan Ning finished speaking, he shook his head again and again, feeling very helpless.

"Scholar Gan, don't be impatient. After you become famous, you can return home!" Zhao Feng couldn't say too much, so he just tried to comfort him, and then he agreed to take Gan Ning to see Liu Bei tomorrow.

"Villain Gan Ning, pay respects to Uncle Liu Huang!" In the hall of Xuzhou Mansion, Gan Ning paid respects to Liu Bei.Even though he has been so courageous for many years, he is also a little uneasy in the face of this imperial captain.

"Scholar Gan doesn't need to be too polite!" Liu Bei asked him to waive the courtesy very accommodatingly. After some conversation, Liu Bei immediately appointed Gan Ning as a lieutenant general to serve under Lu Su's naval tent.

"How can you be a general if you don't know the etiquette?" Gan Ning was shocked when he saw Liu Bei make him a general immediately.Although this general is the lowest-level general, he can only be regarded as a deputy general, and according to the organizational system, he can lead up to 3000 soldiers.But Gan Ning still didn't expect Liu Bei to be so generous. He originally thought that it would be a blessing to be a school captain at first, but he was ready to be a captain.

Liu Bei smiled and waved his hands when he heard the words: "Bei was born in a humble background, and the etiquette is not very particular. To be a man, you only need to behave decently. What's the use of talking about so many red tapes? We are not those Confucian scholars." Gan Ning was even more grateful when he heard the words Endless, completely worship.

There are about 300 Jinfan water thieves in Gan Ning, plus Zhao Feng specially joined the water training during the training of the second batch of martial arts students of Xuzhou College, so 8000 people are all water proficient.Adding the original [-] people, Xuzhou finally gathered [-] sailors.

"Good ship!" Seeing the Xuzhou Navy warships in the Huaihe River coming and going like flying, they are much faster than ordinary warships, Gan Ning is also greatly admired.This is Zhao Feng's design, and the loach boats produced by Lu Xun all use impellers instead of oars as drives.In order to ensure the strength of its key component, the impeller, Zhao Feng even asked Lu Xun to wrap a layer of iron on the impeller, so that ordinary arrows would not be able to shoot through it. Later, even the sides and hull of the ship were covered with iron sheets.Dozens of loach boats, ranging in size from 50 to 500 people.Although Gan Ning had heard from his subordinates that the ships of the Xuzhou Navy were sharp, but seeing this loach ship for the first time with his own eyes was also an eye-opener.After seeing the water village built by Lu Su, he was even more amazed and admired Lu Su and Zhao Feng.

"Xingba, do you think this sea loach boat and the Xuzhou Navy compare to the Jingxiang Navy and the Jiangdong Navy?" Zhao Feng knew that although Gan Ning looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, in fact he was just attracted The advanced equipment is just shocking.In terms of understanding of the various naval divisions in the current world, there is really no one better than him.

Sure enough, after hearing the words, Gan Ning pondered for a while, and then said cautiously: "Jiangdong navy is well-deserved number one in the world, and Zhou Gongjin is the No. Cai Mao, the governor of the Jingzhou navy, is not as good as Zhou Gongjin. If the number is the same, although the Xuzhou navy has not yet been fully trained, it may be slightly inferior to the Jiangdong navy because of its fast ships, but it is not inferior to the Jingxiang navy. However, the Xuzhou navy However, there are more than 1 people, the number is really not enough, and now we can only protect ourselves."

"Almost!" Zhao Feng also had some confidence in his heart.The Jingxiang Navy has a total of [-], and the Jiangdong Navy also has [-], [-]!If you have [-] fish, it will take half a month for Zhao Feng to catch them. (I would like to pay tribute to the new "Three Kingdoms" directed by Gao Xixi with this paragraph!)

While Gan Ning and Zhao Feng were talking about the future of the Xuzhou Navy, at Guandu on the bank of the Yellow River, the two armies were confronting each other. It was here that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were fighting for the supremacy of the north.

"Yuan Benchu, your family has four generations and three lords, but now you lead the army to invade our borders and disturb the Majesty of Xuchang. Don't you want to rebel like your younger brother? Today, I am entrusting the emperor's edict to seek thieves, so I should return quickly!" , Cao Cao said with a serious face.

"Hahaha! Cao Aman, who in the world doesn't know that you coerce the emperor to order the princes, and you dare to claim to be an order? This time I am the one who is ordered to seek thieves!" Yuan Shao, wearing a golden helmet and armor, said arrogantly on the horse.

"What order do you have?" Cao Cao couldn't help but get angry, and knew that he was stupid when he asked.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao on the opposite side shouted loudly: "I am enjoining the emperor's clothes and belts to beg for thieves!"

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

"Yes!" Xu Chuweng replied angrily, and then slapped his horse and wielded his sword to take Yuan Shao straight.Yuan Shao didn't panic when he saw this, and ordered the general beside him, Yan Liang, who was known as the leader of the four court pillars in Hebei, to come forward and hold the enemy.

In the old days when Yuan Shao pacified Hebei, because of his prominent family background, his manners and respect for corporals, many heroes in Hebei went to him.Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jai Gaolan are collectively known as the Four Court Columns of Hebei Province, and they all came to vote one after another.In addition, Ju Yi, Yuan Shao's original confidant, and Han Meng, who defected later, are all capable generals under Yuan Shao's command.Later, although Ju Yi was killed by Yuan Shao because of his high achievements and arrogance, the other five were no small matter, and they were known as the pillars of the four courtyards in Hebei.Now that Gao Lan has defected to Liu Bei, this Liang Hanmeng has also taken the position of the last courtyard pillar.

"Hey!" Both Xu Chu and Yan Liang were anxious people, and they both chose to go all out in the first fight, but now it was an evenly divided situation.Both of them hadn't met an opponent for a long time, and they were both excited and doing their best.

The name of Xu Chu's steel knife is Tiger, and the tiger is also a fierce tiger.According to legend, when Xu Chu was farming in Xujia Village in the past, one day the cattle in the village were dragged away by tigers coming down from Funiu Mountain. Xu Chu picked up a knife in panic and chased up the mountain.After some fighting, Xu Chu killed the two tigers, but was seriously injured himself.Xu Chu is a person who has nothing to do. He had nothing to do during the recuperation period, but he could only carefully recall the scene of fighting the tiger. If he realized something over time, he actually comprehended a set of exquisite sword skills from it.After recovering from the injury and practicing, it really is extraordinary, and since then the martial arts have improved.After defecting to Cao Cao, Cao Cao held him in high esteem, and specially ordered a skilled craftsman to tailor this Tiger Saber for him.The handle of this knife is six feet long, the blade is two feet eight inches long, and weighs 48 Jin.Seeing such a heavy weapon, in Xu Chu's hands, it moved lightly like a wooden stick, attacking Yan Liang with every move like a stormy sea.

If it was someone else, they might have already collapsed under such a fierce attack from Xu Chu.However, Yan Liang, as the head of Hebei's four court pillars, was able to achieve such a great reputation in Hebei, where there are many heroes, it is natural to have his own merits.Seeing that the long sword in his hand was being swung or blocked, it seemed that he was not that strong, but every time he crossed Xu Chu's sword, he was evenly matched, which showed his extraordinary.

The shape of the long knife in Yan Liang's hand is very strange. The blade is long and narrow, but the tip of the knife is sharp.One of them was fierce and the other restrained, they fought on a par for a while, all the soldiers of the two armies were stunned.All the generals know that such a duel between masters is rare, so they all watched intently, confirming their own martial arts, each has his own gains.
