Chapter 248 Entering the Central Plains Jianghuai Navy ([-])

Chaohu Lake is located in the middle of the Jianghuai hills and is the largest lake in Huainan.Its source comes from Ying and Huoer Mountains, and it is formed by rivers such as Nanfei River, Shangpai River, Fengle River, Hangbu River, Baishi Tianhe, Zhaohe River and Zhegao River flowing into the lake.

There have been rumors since ancient times that Chaohu Lake is the most beautiful among Jianghuai Rivers.

However, at this moment it has been requisitioned by Sun Canjun, and all idlers are still inside.

It is also a helpless move to requisition Chaohu Lake. Zhou Yu once said that the navy can only be trained in the lake.Because the navy is mainly based on large ships.No one in the world is born to use a large ship, and no one can drive a large ship as smoothly as walking.But an excellent navy must be flexible in the formation of the water.

The Yangtze River and the seaside are full of huge waves. How can soldiers who are not familiar with the performance of large ships practice formations on the Yangtze River and the seaside?Therefore, only in a calm lake can a truly invincible navy be trained.

"In front of me is the Chaohu Lake of 'Swallowing Wu, Chu, Thousands of Fans Falling, and the Shadow Moves the Galaxy for Five Nights'." Liu Hua introduced to Sun Can who was beside him on horseback.

Because Liu Hua served as the regiment commander of the "Jianghuai Water Army", he has suggested many methods of training soldiers, so he also followed Sun Can to see the fruits of Zhou Yu's seven years.

In history, Zhou Yu trained a water army in Poyang Lake for eight years, and trained a so-called invincible Jiangdong water army.On the battlefield of Chibi, he showed his talents and defeated Cao Cao's southern expedition army.When Zhou Yu trained the navy, the people in Jiangdong were unstable and the population was sparse. He encountered many difficulties while training the navy.

Now that Sun Can has given Zhou Yu everything he needs, Liu Hua believes that the achievements of these seven years are definitely higher than Zhou Yu's eight years of training in Poyang Lake in history.

"Stop!" Sun Can and his party were about to go deep into Chaohu Lake, but they were unexpectedly blocked by a group of soldiers.

"Who is here!" A soldier chief shouted to Sun Can.

Sun Can sat on the horse and replied loudly: "I am Sun Can, open the door quickly."

The leader of the army looked at Sun Can in surprise, and said, "Is there a pass order from Zhou Dudu?"

Sun Can took out his token from his waist and threw it to the soldier leader, saying, "Is this a pass?"

The leader of the soldier raised his hand to take it, and took a closer look. The token was engraved with four big characters "General Zhennan", and the leader of the soldier immediately bowed down and said, "Subordinate Cao Yong has seen General Zhennan."

"Get up! Open the door quickly!" The leader of the army respectfully presented the token of General Zhennan with both hands, but he didn't intend to open the door. He knelt down and said: "The governor has an order. No one can step into Chaohu Lake without his pass. One step in the camp, those who disobey the order will be punished by military law. The adults have no pass orders, please forgive the villains for being rude and cannot let them go."

Sun Can was taken aback. Ever since he served as the prefect of Wancheng, no soldier knew his identity and dared to stop him. In this moment of astonishment, Xu Chu strode out briskly, just as he was about to teach the soldier leader a lesson. In his eyes, Sun Can Sun Can exists like a god, but the soldier leader actually ignored Sun Can's existence, so he really deserved to fight.

"Zhongkang, stop!" Fortunately, Sun Can reacted quickly enough to stop Xu Chu in time.Otherwise, with his palm strike, the soldier leader must be kicked all over the ground looking for his teeth.

"Then can I ask all of you to supervise me?" Sun Can didn't get angry, instead he followed the leader of the army to discuss with him in a friendly manner.

How could the leader of the army say no, Sun Can was the lord of the Jinghuai River, and their governor Zhou Yu would kowtow to pay homage to him when they saw him, and he came out to stop it because of military regulations and had to implement it.

Sun Can looked at the figure of the soldier leader going away, and said to Liu Hua with a smile: "You don't need to look at Can to guess a thing or two about the scene inside. Gong Jin can train such rigorous soldiers, and the soldiers under his command can be so good Where are you going?"

Liu Hua stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Father Ya also has the same intention."

After a long time, the suave and suave Zhou Yu walked over quickly in a shining armor.He was already impeccably handsome, but against the backdrop of his armor, he looked even more heroic, with a bit of fortitude in his elegance, full of the demeanor of a Confucian general.

"This subordinate has seen the lord, and just now this subordinate was practicing the formation in the lake. I don't know that the lord has arrived. It is damned to keep the lord waiting for so long." Zhou Yu obviously came in a hurry, and his armor was not changed. He could not perform the ceremony of the lord. Can actually bow down to see.

"Haha" Sun Can jumped off his horse and stepped forward to support Zhou Yu, and said with a smile, "Gong Jin has trained hard for Sun Can in this small lake for seven years, and his loyalty can be seen in the world. Sun Can is not stupid How could King Ping of Chu convict Gong Jin for no reason? Since Gong Jin has the right way to govern the army, he should be rewarded."

King Ping of Chu, named Xiong Qiji, Xiong Shi, also known as Ju, the son of King Chukang, is incompetent and behaves very strangely. If it appears, you must get rid of it and then quickly.

Seeing that Sun Can praised him as a virtuous minister, Zhou Yu was also very happy in his heart. He introduced the layout of the Chaohu water village along the way, and invited him to board the boat.

Chaohu Water Village is not built on the shore, but on Laoshan, the largest and most beautiful lake center island in Chaohu Lake.Laoshan has three mountains and nine peaks, lush forests, evergreen all the year round, like green snails floating in the water, it is the only "oasis on the lake" on Chaohu Lake in eight hundred miles.

When Sun Can and others went up to Laoshan, Zhou Yu immediately summoned the talents under his command to pay a visit.

In addition to Gan Ning, Zhou Yu also introduced two talents to Sun Can, one is Hong Dabeard and the other is Li Zhi.

Hong Dabeard is Yuan Gan Ning's capable general. He was originally a pirate who sailed across the sea for more than ten years and robbed countless ships. Later, his colleagues met his colleagues.

At that time, Gan Ning went out with a group of men to rob.It didn't take long before they were robbed by a bearded man Hong.

The so-called colleagues are enemies!Pirates against pirates, the two sides naturally fought.Unexpectedly, within the tea time of the battle, a large number of imperial troops came to encircle and suppress Hong Dabeard, who was shot three times by arrows, and Gan Ning risked his life to rescue him back to the water village.

Hong Dabeard is very loyal, he will repay kindness and revenge.Gan Ning was kind to him, so he worked under Gan Ning's command.Hong Dabeard has a unique skill, which is sail-making.For some reason, his sails sailed much faster than those made by others.

After Gan Ning had him, he ran as fast as the wind on the big river. It can be said that he came and went like the wind, which made merchants and government officials from all over the place troubled.Several times of encirclement and suppression were either defeated by Gan Ning, or Gan Ning's shadow could not be seen.

It was because of Hong's bearded sail that Gan Ning was dubbed the Jinfan Bandit.

Later, Gan Ning defected to Huang Zu with great ambitions, but Hong Dabeard was unwilling to be an official and continued to be his pirate.

A few years ago, Hong Dabeard came to Wan County to release a case. Zhang Liao, the prefect of Wan County, was a great man from the north. He was no match for Hong Dabeard in the water, so he asked Gan Ning to come to help.

Afterwards, the two met each other, and under Zhou Yu's condescending request and Gan Ning's persuasion, Hong Dabeard joined the Jianghuai navy and became a member of Sun Can's army.
