There were two reasons why Kou Feng had spread the news that he wanted to hire a pirate leader to be the commander of the Jiangxia Navy.
Firstly, any dukedom would think that Kou Feng had lost his mind when they heard about this!
However, if he thought about it carefully, if Kou Feng was really a fool, would he have killed the Yellow Ancestor, defeated River East, and taken over Jiangxia in just half a month?
Then, what were Sun Quan and Huang Zu?
Therefore, Kou Feng did this because he didn't want to be too famous. After all, if he was too outstanding!
What if Liu Biao felt uneasy one day and led his 200,000 men to surround him? Wouldn't that be against Kou Feng's interests?
In Kou Feng's mind, Liu Biao was going to die soon anyway, so it would be best for Jiangxia and Jingzhou to live in peace!
Otherwise, if he offended Jing State again, when Cao Cao's army went south, Kou Feng would be enemies on all sides!
At that time, Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei would attack him together. Even if he had the system, he would not be able to escape death!
Therefore, it was also beneficial for Kou Feng to defile himself and make the dukes look down on him!
Only by underestimating him would he be able to create a flaw in the future battle, allowing Kou Feng to defeat them more easily!
Secondly, for those famous generals who were proud of their bravery or self-confidence, Kou Feng would even dare to give a pirate the authority to command tens of thousands of navy troops!
Then, there were so many talented people in Jing Xiang, and those civil officials and generals who had their talents but were not recognized, didn't they want to rely on a wise ruler and become famous?
It was obvious that Kou Feng's act of buying the horse bones with a thousand gold coins had made all the wise men willing to join him!
This was Kou Feng's real goal, killing two birds with one stone!
Of course, people like Zhou Yu and Lu Su could see through Kou Feng's actions, but if you asked them to advise Sun Quan, they wouldn't be able to do so!
They might not believe that Kou Feng's actions would bring a swarm of talented people to Jiangxia and change the combat power of the navy!
After all, no matter how brave Gan Ning was, River East's navy was undoubtedly number one. Sun Quan didn't believe that a mere Gan Ning could make the Jiangxia Navy and River East's navy rival!
If that was the case, then what use would Sun Quan have for talents like Zhou Yu and Lu Su?
Even Zhou Yu did not want to believe that a mere pirate could change the combat strength of the Jiangxia Navy, which had low combat strength, in just a few months!
……
Speaking of which, even though Kou Feng was famous now, in the eyes of those powerful dukes, he was only a threat!
It was unrealistic for them to go all out for a single Kou Feng!
As a result, after Gan Ning took over the Jiangxia Navy, he was shocked to see Kou Feng's 3,000 soldiers!
He had not expected that his lord would have such a navy that was even more powerful than his 800 Jinfan bandits. There were a total of 3,000 of them!
After seeing this army, Gan Ning had a new understanding of Kou Feng's abilities.
In his opinion, this army was definitely trained by his lord. Otherwise, if there were other people, why would they ask him to be the commander of the navy?
With the addition of the 500 Bei Wei Army soldiers, Gan Ning was filled with admiration for Kou Feng, and he began to calm down.
He began to train the Jiangxia Internet Water Army wholeheartedly!
After a discussion between Kou Feng and Gan Ning, they decided that it was more important to have quality than quantity. As a result, the thirty thousand soldiers of the Jiangxia Navy were reduced!
After eliminating the ten-thousand-odd old and weak soldiers, they reorganized the battle formation. With the three-thousand Qi Family Army and the eight-hundred Jinfan bandits as the foundation, they selected sixteen thousand strong and strong navy soldiers to form the battle formation!
Under Gan Ning's leadership, the twenty thousand soldiers began to train the water battle formation on the Yangtze River.
As for the 10,000 or so people who had been eliminated, Kou Feng felt that it would be a waste to let them return to their hometown to farm!
Thus, these ten thousand people were arranged by Kou Feng to be auxiliary soldiers. They were responsible for the security of the city and were only responsible for guarding the fourteen counties of Jiangxia!
If there was a war, these ten thousand auxiliary soldiers could also be used to defend the city, killing two birds with one stone!
However, with such an arrangement, Kou Feng decided to recruit more auxiliary soldiers and also carry out daily training for the soldiers. If he wanted to expand the army in the future, he would choose soldiers from the auxiliary soldiers!
In this way, they could quickly form an army without having to start from scratch!
Moreover, if Cao Cao's army of one million soldiers attacked next year, Kou Feng could quickly gather a decent army to act as a surprise attack!
As for Kou Feng's 20,000 infantry and 20,000 navy, they were the true elites and could be considered the main fighting force!
……
On the other side, after Kou Feng released the news, the people of insight in Jing Xiang had some thoughts!
This Kou Feng is even so important to the pirate Gan Ning, which means that he really lacks talent. If I were to become his ally, would I be trusted as well?
With this thought in mind, a young man with a feather fan in his hand looked in the direction of Jiang Xia with bright eyes and said with a smile!
"It seems that someone already knows about my decision to divide the world into three parts. I'm still inexperienced and it's not time for me to leave the mountain."
The short and ugly man by the side laughed when he heard the young man's words!
"Zhuge Kongming, Zhuge Kongming, didn't you always compare yourself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi? How come someone now understands the strategy of dividing the world into three parts? If you still waste your time in the mountains, when the world is settled, your talent will be useless!”
"In my opinion, why don't you just leave the mountain and join that Kou Feng? Why do you have to pretend to be noble and ask someone to invite you?”
That's right, the person being evaluated by the ugly man was Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming!
His friend was naturally Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, who was also known as the Phoenix Chick!
He didn't expect that the two most talented people in Jing Xiang would gather together and discuss Kou Feng, who had been the talk of the town recently!
