"The remaining captives and Jiang Xia soldiers will form another ten thousand infantry. You will train them yourselves. Remember to eliminate the old and weak among them and let them return home!”
"If there aren't enough, we can continue to recruit more soldiers.”
Hearing Kou Feng's order, all the generals were delighted. Then, they received the order and left!
After this battle, Jiang Xia had more than ten thousand soldiers, including the six thousand captives from River East. Kou Feng also planned to recruit three thousand soldiers, which was exactly twenty thousand soldiers!
Moreover, the old and weak would be eliminated from these 20,000 people and the strong would be replaced. Once these 20,000 people formed an army, their combat strength would definitely be extraordinary!
After Kou Feng defeated Jiangdong, his prestige in Jiangxia County naturally reached its peak!
In addition, Kou Feng's army was treated very well, which naturally attracted many people to join the army. If it wasn't for the fact that Kou Feng had temporarily set a number of 20,000 soldiers, he might have been able to recruit another 20,000 soldiers!
Of course, Kou Feng wouldn't exhaust all his soldiers. The best reserve of soldiers was based on the ratio of population!
For example, Jing Zhou had a total population of four to five million people, but Nanyang County occupied a large area and was adjacent to Cao Cao. Therefore, half of Nanyang County was under Cao Cao's command!
Therefore, the number of people under Liu Biao's control was less than four million!
Jingzhou had a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the ratio of the number of soldiers to the number of soldiers was about 13 to 14!
Jiangxia was also a large county with a population of less than a million. Previously, Huang Zu had 50,000 soldiers, and the ratio of men to men was close to 20 to 1. Therefore, he could also gather 50,000 soldiers!
Therefore, Kou Feng didn't think that Patriarch Huang had gone too far. He planned to continue with the 20:1 ratio!
Therefore, the infantry was still 20,000, and the remaining 30,000 were all navy troops!
There was no need to worry about food. Jiangxia was a wealthy county and had a lot of grain reserves. In addition, Jingzhou was rich and Liu Biao had given Kou Feng 100,000 dan of grain. It could support an army of 50,000 for several years!
This was the reason why Kou Feng was willing to pay more than the other dukes!
On the other hand, Chen Dao had just surrendered and had not made any contributions. Kou Feng had given him the title of Rebellion Commandant, which made Chen Dao a little terrified!
Therefore, when the public general left, he looked nervous and wanted to go to Kou Feng to ask him to take back his order!
After all, Yang Zaixing and the others had earned military merits. He had not only chased after Kou Feng, but Kou Feng had also let him take over the army!
This official position was really a little inappropriate!
Therefore, when Chen Dao returned to the County Governor's Mansion, Kou Feng did not meet him. Instead, he asked Liu Bowen to appease Chen Dao!
When the two met, Liu Bowen saw Chen Dao's hesitant and uneasy appearance, so he smiled and said to Chen Dao!
"General Chen, my lord doesn't trust anyone he uses. He doesn't use anyone he suspects!”
"As for the generals, you can rest assured that they are not the kind of people who are jealous of talent!”
"If you miss my lord, then train yourself well. In the future, you will make more contributions to repay my lord's great kindness!”
After hearing Liu Bowen's words, Chen Dao immediately cupped his fists and knelt on both knees. He bowed towards the County Governor's Estate from afar and thought to himself!
"In this life, I, Chen Dao, will follow the Lord's lead until I die. I will never let down the Lord's trust!”
After saying this, Chen Dao stood up and bowed to Liu Bowen before striding away!
At the same time, Kou Feng looked at the system and found that Chen Dao's loyalty had reached 95. Naturally, he was overjoyed!
A person who had been abandoned had regained the trust of a lord. He would naturally cherish it!
When Liu Bowen returned to County Governor Manor, Kou Feng said,"
"Uncle and nephew's matter has been resolved, but our army still lacks a navy general. Otherwise, it would be impossible to form a crushing situation against River East!”
Liu Bowen nodded and said after hearing Kou Feng's words!
"My lord is right. Our army has many valiant generals, but we lack a general who can oversee the navy!”
"Otherwise, the lord's 3,000 elite navy soldiers can display their true strength!”
Speaking of which, in that battle, when the Jiangxia Navy clashed with the Jiangdong Navy, 30,000 people actually couldn't defeat 10,000 people. It was really ironic!
Fortunately, there weren't many casualties. Otherwise, Kou Feng would have chopped Wu Cheng's head off!
Now, with the addition of the 3,000 Qi Family Army soldiers, they had just completed the 30,000 navy troops!
However, they were only missing a navy general who could oversee the universe!
In Kou Feng's heart, it was obvious that the original commander of the Qi Family Army, Qi Jiguang, was the one he had been looking forward to the most!
Kou Feng had never looked down on River East. After all, Zhou Yu was still alive in River East and was in his prime!
Even if Zhou Yu died, the three Viceroys who came after him all had their own strengths that could not be underestimated!
Although the previous defeat would make Jiang Dong not dare to attack Jiang Xia for the next two years, no one could guarantee that Zhou Yu would not!
Moreover, with him in River East, he was always a thorn in Kou Feng's heart!
Moreover, the combat strength of the Jiangxia Navy was low. What was the use of having a large number of them?
According to the course of history, Cao Cao would lead a million troops south next year. If this navy was still the same, Kou Feng could not guarantee that he would win!
Therefore, the most important thing now was to find a navy general!
Even if it didn't work, Gan Ning would be good!
Kou Feng suddenly remembered that Gan Ning had gone back to being a pirate because of Huang Zu's suppression!
Moreover, he didn't join River East!
With that thought, Kou Feng was overjoyed. Then, he ordered his men!
"Spread the word that I, Kou Feng, am in urgent need of a navy commander. Give Gan Ning a chance to command tens of thousands of navy soldiers. I just don't know if he has the guts to come!”
