In the dry stockade of Jiangling, Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to summon Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
"The two of you are in charge of the water soldiers, and the number of soldiers in Jiangdong is small.”
Cao Cao reprimanded.
"Let me ask you, have you put in any effort to train the navy?”
He looked at Cai Mao.
Cai Mao was currently prostrating on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Prime Minister, the Jing State navy has not been trained for a long time. The Qing and Xu armies are not used to water warfare and are even more inexperienced, so they were defeated.”
Cai Mao could only explain carefully.
He did not dare to say that he was afraid of fighting.
"We should set up a water stronghold and order the Jingzhou army to be outside while the Qing and Xu armies are inside.”
"Teach battle formations every day until you are proficient in them.”
After saying that, Cai Mao waited for Cao Cao's decision.
Cao Cao pondered for a while and nodded." Since you are the Navy Governor, you can train the soldiers yourself."”
Cai Mao stood up and left with Zhang Yun.
"Someone, summon Gan Ning." Cao Cao waved his hand.”
Not long after, Gan Ning stepped into the tent.
"Cai and Zhang didn't supervise the navy well enough, causing the navy to collapse.”
Cao Cao said.
"Fortunately, Lai Xingba sacrificed his life to cover the rear."
Cao Cao rewarded Gan Ning.
"I'm just a thief who robbed the river. Thank you for your reward, Prime Minister!"”
He didn't expect that the first reward in his life would be given by Cao Cao.
It was rumored that Cao Cao never looked at background, and it was true.
"Why would Xing Ba belittle itself?"
Cao Cao did not mind.
"Who doesn't have a past? Xingba was strong and liked to be a ranger. In his early years, he roamed the Jianghu. Now he regretted his mistakes and changed his ways. It was also a good thing.”
"Give me a seat and serve the wine."
Cao Cao invited Gan Ning to a banquet in Han Village.
"Liu Jingsheng couldn't succeed, so he gave up Xingba and didn't use it. Today, the heavens gave Xingba to me.”
During the banquet, Cao Cao asked Gan Ning what his current position was.
"Commandant," Gan Ning said, clasping his hands.
Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned.
"The position of a commandant is a waste of talent. How can we let a pearl be covered in dust?”
"I heard that Xing Ba is good at water warfare. Why don't we do this? Xing Ba will take over the position of Deputy Navy Governor.”
he asked Gan Ning.
Now, the Jing State Navy was lacking a strong general. Cao Cao had been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally, Gan Xingba had appeared.
Previously, Cao Cao had asked the navy soldiers who had fled and learned that Gan Ning was proficient in water warfare.
Cao Cao had already begun to think of ways to support Gan Ning.
Gan Ning immediately thanked him.
"I will not disappoint the Prime Minister!"
He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
After the banquet, Gan Ning bid farewell to Cao Cao and left Han Village. He went home to pack up and prepare for his new post.
Before taking office, Gan Ning paid a visit to Cao Yu's house.
Cao Yu was shocked when Gan Ning told him what had happened.
"That's good."
Cao Yu did not expect his plan to go so smoothly.
Two days ago, he had told Gan Ning that the Jing State navy was about to start a war with the Jiang Dong navy.
He wanted Gan Ning to find a chance to show off.
He didn't expect Gan Ning to be promoted to the position of Deputy Commander of the Navy.
"I owe Zixiu a favor. If he is in trouble, just come to the army and find me.”
Gan Ning said.
"I will go to my post today. When we meet in Cao camp in the future, we will drink and talk about today's scene.”
Gan Ning also knew that Cao Yu was interested in becoming an official in the Cao camp.
"Xing Ba, go ahead."
Cao Yu sent Gan Ning off.
After returning to his room, Cao Yu took out the jade pendant that the Xiahou clan general had given him.
After a long time.
He had planned to use the jade to open a path for Gan Ning.
Now it seemed that Gan Ning wouldn't need it.
"The next time I receive my reward, I will take this jade pendant and join Cao Cao's camp.”
Cao Yu waited for the next wave of rewards.
They were three thousand elite black-armored cavalry.
He planned to bring his capital into the group. At that time, he would have his own armed forces and would not be controlled by others.
"I still lack a suitable weapon."
Cao Yu sighed.
He had inherited the Overlord's power and had Xiangyu's abilities.
On the other hand, Xiangyu's moves were mainly based on energy and lightning, and he was able to unleash his moves in a wide range.
Thus, Cao Yu was prepared to make a trip to Jiangling City to find a blacksmith to forge a halberd.
"Furen, where should I place my black iron?”
Cao Yu let Master Bu take the black iron that he had picked up a few years ago.
"Husband wants to use this iron lump?"
The Bu Lian Shi asked in confusion.
"That's right. You rest at home. I'll go into the city!”
Cao Yu didn't say anything and carried the box into the city.
Behind him, the trainer was dumbfounded.
When did her husband have such brute force?
……
In Jiangling City.
A certain mansion was heavily guarded.
There was a sentry post every five steps and a sentry post every ten steps.
A soldier hurried into the manor.
"Prime Minister, he has entered the city."
Hearing the soldier's report, Cao Cao asked,""Where did he go?"
"Blacksmith Shop."
the soldier answered truthfully.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes. What was his eldest son doing in the blacksmith shop?
"Try again!"
"Here."
Just like that, soldiers kept coming back and forth to report to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao finally understood the whole story.
"He wants to forge a weapon?"
"Zhongkang, move the iron items in Jiangling City's warehouse to that blacksmith shop for smelting.”
Cao Cao waved his hand and instructed Xu Chu to do his job.
It's just forging weapons. If others have it, our son has it too!
Xu Chu accepted the order and left.
……
In the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith and the workers were all dumbfounded.
They looked at the mountain of metal objects in front of them and were stunned.
Xu Chu said unhappily," Don't just stand there. Melt all the iron and forge weapons for Zixiu!"”
"General, why are you doing this…" Cao Yu said.
