Chapter 4 Jinfan Ganning

"I've seen General Zhao!" Zhao Feng just changed his clothes and came to the living room. A thin yellow man in his thirties held his fist to Zhao Feng.

"Why do you need to be more polite? I don't know what it is, sir?" Zhao Feng asked while saluting. Zhao Feng asked a little knowingly, but he still had to be careful about everything, didn't he? I looked carefully at the person in front of me. Although he looked relatively thin, his fingers were thick and had callus. At a glance, he knew that he was a good family.

Seeing Zhao Feng asking like this, the man was also a little stunned, and then laughed and said, "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 Gan Ning, a hero who crosses the Yangtze River! Nice to meet you!" Zhao Feng basically confirmed the identity of the person coming and hurriedly saluted. Gan Ning was also overjoyed when he heard the words. He shocked the Yangtze River nickname Jinfan Thief. Although this nickname is majestic, the word thief always sounds a little indecent. Now Zhao Feng calls him Jinfanxia, obviously taking his face into account. There is a saying that he wears thousands of clothes and don't wear flattery. This time, Gan Ning also has a great impression of General Zhao, who looks polite in front of him.

After a period of politeness, the two of them sat down. Zhao Feng then asked, "Although Zhao sent someone to look for Zhuangshi, he didn't know why Gan Zhuangshi came to Xuzhou to find Zhao in person?" To be honest, Zhao Feng is also a little puzzled. Does he really have the legendary hegemony or the aura of the protagonist, which makes people die at first sight?

Gan Ning also smiled when he heard the words, and then said, "To be honest, when I heard what my subordinates said, General Zhao from Xuzhou had visited many times. Ning was very surprised. I don't know why the people of Xuzhou came to the Yangtze River to look for me. Later, I heard that the general and Lord Lu Su were training sailors in the Huaihe River and building warships. Only then did I understand that the general wanted Ning to come to serve Xuzhou. In order to be safe, I specially sent a few brothers to sign up to join the navy to see what happened. As a result, the brothers all said that the Xuzhou navy warship was sharp and the water village was clever. Ning also knew that it was not a long-term plan to be a water thief. He had long wanted to find a master to serve and do a career, but he did not live up to this martial arts. Therefore, he specially came to Xuzhou in person to see what happened today. Seeing that Xu Yu's two prefectures are under the rule of Uncle Liu, all kinds of industries are prosperous, the people are rich, and the soldiers are strong, so I am willing to vote for it, and I hope the general will introduce it on my behalf!" After saying that, Gan Ning also bowed again.

"Why do you need more courtesy to Gan Zhuangshi!" Zhao Feng hurried forward to hold him, but his heart was full of awe: Gan Ning did things carefully, and he had to find out the truth before he defected. After figuring out the idea, everything was easy to say. Zhao Feng immediately ordered someone to set up a small banquet to entertain Gan Ning. They all said that the dining table could best bring people closer to each other. During the dinner, the two talked for a long time, and finally they got to know 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 origin. I remember that he didn't seem to mention it in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Exactly, the villain is from Ba County, Yizhou, and his family is also a big family in Yizhou. Later, the family is in a bad way. In desperation, he has no choice but to lead people to the Yangtze River to make a living. He left home at the age of 18, and it has been almost ten years!" After saying that, Gan Ning also shook his head repeatedly, very helpless.

"Gan Zhuangshi, don't be in a hurry. After you become famous, you can return to your hometown!" Zhao Feng couldn't speak too carefully. At the moment, he just said a few words of comfort, and then promised to take Gan Ning to see Liu Bei tomorrow.

"Little Gan Ning, see Uncle Liu!" In the hall of Xuzhou Mansion, Gan Ning met Liu Bei. Even if he has been brave for many years, he is also a little uneasy in the face of this imperial lieutenant.

"Gan Zhuangshi doesn't have to be polite!" Liu Bei was very easy-going to exempt him from the gift. After a conversation, Liu Bei immediately made Gan Ning a general and served under Lu Su's navy.

"If you don't know the etiquette, how can you be a general?" Gan Ning was also shocked to see that Liu Bei immediately appointed him as a general. Although this will be the lowest-level general, and can only be regarded as a deputy general, according to the establishment, the company will bring up to 3,000 people. However, Gan Ning still didn't expect Liu Bei to be so generous. He originally thought that he could stand up to a captain at the beginning, but he was well prepared to be a captain.

Liu Bei waved his hand with a smile when he heard the words, "Preparing for a humble birth, this etiquette is not very fastidious. You just need to be decent. What's the use of talking about so much red tape? We are not Confucian gentlemen. Gan Ning was even more grateful when he heard the words and was completely convinced.

There are about 1,000 Jinfan water thieves in Ganning. In addition, when the second batch of martial arts students of Xuzhou College were training, Zhao Feng specially joined the water training, so 300 people were familiar with water. With the original more than 8,000 people, Xuzhou finally gathered 10,000 sail troops.

"Good boat!" Seeing that the Xuzhou navy warships in the Huai River were flying, Gan Ning was also very impressed by the speed of ordinary warships. This is exactly the sea loach boats designed by Zhao Feng and produced by Lu Xun, all of which use impellers instead of oars as drivers. In order to ensure the strength of its key component impeller, Zhao Feng even asked Lu Xun to wrap a layer of iron on the impeller, so that ordinary arrows could not be penetrated. Later, even the side of the ship and the hull were wrapped with iron pieces. Dozens of sea eel boats, ranging in size from 50 to 500 people. Although Gan Ning heard his subordinates say that the Xuzhou navy ship was sharp, it was also an eye-opener to see this seacoach ship with his own eyes 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, how do you think this seaguach boat and Xuzhou sailors compare with Jingxiang sailors and Jiangdong sailors?" Zhao Feng knew that although Gan Ning looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, in fact, he was just shocked by the advanced equipment. In terms of the world's understanding of the sailors, there is really no one better than him.

Sure enough, Gan Ning also meditated for a long time after hearing the words, and then cautiously said, "Jiangdong Shuishi is a well-deserved first in the world, and Zhou Gongjin is the first person in the world. As for Jingxiang Marine Division, although he is also an elite, Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou Marine Division, is not as good as Zhou Gongjin. If the number of people is equal, although the Xuzhou Marine Division has not been fully trained, it may be slightly inferior to the Jiangdong Marine Division due to the speed of the ship, but it is no longer inferior to the Jingxiang Marine Division. However, there are only more than 10,000 sailors in Xuzhou, and the number of people is really not enough. At present, they can only protect themselves.

"It's almost!" Zhao Feng also has a little foundation in his heart. There are 50,000 in the Jingxiang navy, and the 30,000 in the Jiangdong navy, 30,000! You are 30,000 fish, and it will take half a month for Zhao Feng to catch them. I would like to pay tribute to Gao Xixi's new "Three Kingdoms"!)

Just as Gan Ning and Zhao Feng talked about the future of the Xuzhou Marine Division, at this time, the two armies of Guandu on the bank of the Yellow River were facing each other. It was in order to compete for the hegemony of the north, Yuan Shao and Cao Shen fought here.

"Yuan Benchu, your family's four generations and three princes, but now you lead the army to invade our border and disturb Xu Chang's majesty. Don't you want to rebel like your brother? Today, I am ordered by the emperor to ask for the thief. Why don't you return quickly!" Before the two armies, Cao Qian's face was awe-inspiring.

"Hahaha! Cao Aji, who in the world doesn't know that you have taken the emperor to order the princes, and even dares to claim to be a decree? I'm the one who is ordered to be a thief!" Yuan Shao, wearing a golden helmet and armor, was furious on the horse.

"What do you have to do?" Cao Shen couldn't help but be angry. As soon as he said the words, he knew that he was dumbfounded.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao on the opposite side shouted when he heard the words, "I am ordered by the emperor's clothes to beg a thief!"

It's unbearable. Cao Jian was furious when he heard the words and looked around the generals. Seeing Xu Chu on the side, he immediately ordered, "Zhong Kang, take down this thief with me!"

"Yes!" Xu Chu's urn answered angrily, and then patted the horse dance knife to take Yuan Shao. Seeing this, Yuan Shao did not panic and ordered the general beside him, Yan Liang, known as the head of the four pillars of Hebei, to stand in front of the enemy.

In the past, it was said that Yuan Shao paced Hebei. Because of his illustrious family background, he was a virtuous corporal, and many of the heroes of Hebei went to him. Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhang Yi Gaolan collectively known as the four pillars of Hebei, all of which were cast first and later. In addition, Yuan Shao's original confidant general Ju Yi and Han Meng, who defected later, were all powerful generals under Yuan Shao's command. Later, although Ju Yi was killed by Yuan Shao because of his arrogance, the other five people were also very small, known as the four pillars of Hebei. Now Gao Lan has defected to Liu Bei, and Liang Hanmeng has also been in the position of the last pillar.

"Hey!" Xu Chu and Yan Liang were both anxious people. For the first time, they all chose to go all out. This time, it turned out to be an equal situation. Both of them have not met the enemy for a long time. At present, they are excited and do their best.

Xu Chu's steel knife is called Shanjun, Shanjun, and Tiger. It is said that when Xu Chu was farming in Xujia Village, a cow in the village was dragged away by a fierce tiger coming down from Funiu Mountain. Xu Chu picked up a knife in panic and caught up with him. As a result, he met two fierce tigers on the narrow road. After a struggle, Xu Chu killed two tigers, but he was also seriously injured. Xu Chu is a person who can't be idle. During the period of recuperation, he can only carefully recall the scene of fighting with the tiger. Over time, he realized a set of exquisite knife skills from it. After recovering from the injury, he practiced diligently. As expected, he was extraordinary. Since then, his martial arts have improved. After defecting to Cao Shen, Cao Shen valued him very much and specially ordered a skilled craftsman to tailor this mountain king knife for him. The handle is six feet long, the blade is two feet eight inches long, and weighs 48 catties. Seeing such a heavy blade, he moved like a wooden stick in Xu Chu's hand, and attacked Yan Liang like a stormy wave.

If it were a comparison, it might have collapsed a long time ago under such a fierce offensive by Xu Chu. However, as the head of the four pillars of Hebei, Yan Liang can make a great reputation in Hebei, which is naturally outstanding. Seeing the long knife or block in his hand, it doesn't seem to be so fierce, but every time he intersects with Xu Chu's blade, it is also comparable, which shows that it is extraordinary.

The shape of the long knife in Yan Liang's hand is very strange. The blade is long and narrow, but the blade is sharp. It is often waved or cut or stabbed or cut, which is unpredictable. One of them was fierce and the other was introverted. For a while, they fought as much as each other, and the soldiers of the two armies were stunned. All the generals knew that it was rare to see such a master's duel. At present, they all couldn't take their eyes off it, which confirmed with their martial arts, and each had their own gains.
