"I was born as a water bandit and have a cheap life. Since Liu Biao is too muddle-headed to recognize people, I am willing to be under General's command and be at your beck and call.”Gan Ning clasped his hands.
"Haha, good, I have Gan Xingba's help and even 100,000 soldiers.”Zhang Xiu shouted loudly and threw the golden spear to Hu Che 'er. Then he strode into the city with Gan Ning's hand.
At this moment, Gan Ning had the urge to die for someone he knew.
[Gan Ning: Strength 106, Commander 92, Strategy 88, Internal Affairs 45, Faction Zhang Xiu, Loyalty 90]
Behind him, Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard. He had heard of the Jinfan Thief. Other than his outstanding martial strength, he did not think that this person was outstanding. However, his lord actually treated him so politely. Interesting.
Not long after, in County Governor Manor.
Everyone in the Prefectural Governor's Office was Gan Ning's confidant, and all of the subordinates were Gan Ning's subordinates.
"My Lord, what did you mean by what you said earlier? Could it be that you voted for Liu Biao just to pretend to be a snake?”Gan Ning frowned.
"Liu Biao is powerful and I have no place to stand now, so I joined him. However, Liu Biao's defense is still good, but he is not aggressive enough. The situation in the Central Plains is changing. I will wait and see. When the time comes, I will definitely fight for the Central Plains.”Zhang Xiu said firmly.
Gan Ning's blood began to boil again.
"How many soldiers does my lord have?" he asked excitedly.”
"Haha, I have 5,000 Western Liang cavalrymen, more than 10,000 soldiers, and countless weapons. What do you think of Xing Ba?”Zhang Xiu said heroically.
At the side, the corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Wasn't he too good at bragging? Why don't you say 50,000?
"My lord, I forgot to tell you. Lei Xu, Zhang Xian, and the other generals have just sent back news that each of them has recruited more than a thousand soldiers and hundreds of them are good at riding and shooting. A total of more than 5,000 strong and healthy people were recruited and trained. In time, they would become a strong force.”Jia Xu strode out and cupped his fists as he spoke in all seriousness.
This time, Zhang Xiu was also stunned. In the next second, he gave Jia Xu an awesome look. Indeed, it was comfortable to work with smart people.
Behind Zhang Xiu, Hu Che 'er's eyes were as wide as an ox's egg. It was fine if his boss was bragging, but the military counselor who had always been stern was also bragging. This was too…
Gan Ning's face lit up with joy."My lord, I have 3,000 loyal men under me. 800 of them are my brothers from Yizhou. They walk on the rivers and lakes as if they are flat ground. The other 2,000 are the soldiers I have trained day and night in recent years.”
"Three thousand soldiers?" Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment before he smiled.
Training soldiers was not something that could be done overnight, and Gan Ning's three thousand men would be a great help to alleviate his lack of manpower.
"That's right. These three thousand people are all fighting one against ten, not afraid of death.”
Gan Ning said confidently."In this way, with nearly 20,000 elites under my lord, given time, we can attack the Central Plains and retreat to Jingxiang.”
"Haha, what Xing Ba said is true. I have the Western Liang cavalry to take the Central Plains, but I need Xing Ba's help to take Jingxiang!”Zhang Xiu laughed heartily.
"My lord, it doesn't matter if you say it. As long as it's possible, I won't frown.”Gan Ning said heroically.
"Jing Xiang is separated by the Han River's wrath. If we take Jing Xiang, we will train our navy day and night. After I establish myself, I will build warships on the same day. Xing Ba, you will be my navy commander and help me build an invincible navy that can roam the Yangtze River.”Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Haha, I might not be able to guarantee that we can take the Central Plains from the north, but if we are talking about training the navy and dominating the lake, then I, Gan Xingba, am second.”
"As long as my lord is willing to build a navy, within three years at most, the elite troops of Ningding will roam the Yangtze River and flatten that good-for-nothing Cai Mao. I will also let Liu Biao know how powerful I, Gan Xingba, am.”Gan Ning clenched his fists in front of him, his face feverish.
He had been wandering in the river since he was young, so he was very familiar with the river's water patterns.
"Alright, with Xing Ba's words, what do I have to fear?”Zhang Xiu said heartily. However, he was still thinking about how he could give Gan Xingba an assistant. Otherwise, with Gan Ning's aloof personality, it was only a matter of time before something bad happened.
At noon, the soldiers were settled.
In the room, Zhang Xiu was overjoyed when she heard the system notification.
The mission was completed perfectly. He was rewarded with 3,000 mu of elementary grain seeds. One had to know that the yield per mu of the primary improved seeds was 1,000 catties. If it was converted into a jin, it would be equivalent to 2,000 jin. It was almost equivalent to ten times the yield at the end of the Han Dynasty.
The only drawback was that the system could only plant the grain seed once.
Including the 500 mu of beginner grain seeds that he had received from the novice gift bag, he had 3,500 mu of beginner grain seeds.
Other than the grain seeds, there were also three Great Cyclic Pellets. The Great Cyclic Pellet was relatively simple. After consuming it, it could increase one's martial strength by five points. However, it was only effective on people with martial strength below 90 points.
And he could make an exception and use it once!
In addition to the 500 Heavenly Elegance Points that he had received from Zou Shi's Guan Bao Zhi, he hadn't gone to draw Heavenly Elegance Points yet.
Now that Nanyang was in the stage of making bold and decisive decisions, it was time to take out something. Even if he could not use it, he could think of a way to make some money.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu did not hesitate. He washed his hands, burned incense, and drew a lottery.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing ten sets of high-quality glass tea sets.”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing 10 boxes of custom-made fireworks with 64 sounds.”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing 100 bottles of Guizhou Moutai.”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing 10 torchlights.”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing 10 SK-II Cosmetics Gift Pack.”
Zhang Xiu: "????"
F * ck you, what the hell is this? The glass tea set was fine. After all, glass from the end of the Han Dynasty should be worth some money. But what the hell were Guizhou Moutai and fairy water? This thing could increase his strength? Was this a joke?
Also, this flashlight was probably just a trick. Moreover, the battery could not be used, so it was equivalent to giving it to him for nothing.
Grandma's legs hurt, and her head hurt.
As for the custom-made fireworks, Zhang Xiu had some ideas. According to the system notification, the fireworks could explode into words.
"Xuan doesn't save evil, kryptonite doesn't change fate. Forget it, I'm used to it."
Zhang Xiu said.
…………
Ten days later, in Xinye City.
Zhang Xiu sat at the head of the table. At this moment, Jia Xu reported,"My lord, about 100,000 people from Nanyang have arrived at Xinye and Chaoyang counties.
However, my lord, these 100,000 people are refugees and have no food reserves. How could he get through this time of crisis?”
Finished talking, Jia Xu revealed a worried expression. It was not difficult to gather refugees from all over the world, but the difficulty was how to survive the months of spring planting and autumn harvest. After all, during this period, these people needed rations, which was a huge expenditure.
Zhang Xiu's gaze was deep. After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice,"Don't worry about Wenhe. Leave the food to me.
You only need to send people to gather as many refugees as possible. As long as we can survive these few months, Nanyang will definitely return to its former prosperity.”
Zhang Xiu had considered this point before. He had to withstand the pressure. Only by ruling the rich could he dominate the world.
Seeing that Zhang Xiu was so confident, Jia Xu did not say much and immediately bowed,"This subordinate will arrange for a large number of refugees to be absorbed.”
"Yes, yes. In another half a month, it will be the best spring planting season. Wen He will settle the refugees as soon as possible and ensure that they are properly settled before the spring planting.
In addition, all the refugees recruited were informed that they could be provided with food and drink, houses, and fertile land. During the autumn harvest, only half of the production would be handed over to the government. If a family went there, the production would be reduced by another 10%.
"Also, send people to Runan, Yingchuan, Jiujiang, Lujiang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, and other places to bribe the local people and let them spread rumors about the benefits I proposed. I think it will spread from one to ten to a hundred.”Zhang Xiu said.
Jia Xu's eyes shrank. If that was the case, Nanyang would probably be able to take in a million refugees!
