"Oh, are you Gan Ning?"

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, with an eclectic taste all over his body, Wang Mang's eyes flashed with a trace of interest.

Gan Ning's name, of course he had heard it, the other party was one of the twelve tiger ministers of Eastern Wu, good at water warfare.

In that year, Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 400,000 to attack the mouth of the river, and Sun Quan sent Gan Ning to attack Cao's camp at night.

Gan Ning rushed in with a hundred men, killed some people, and rushed out with his men.

Even later, when Sun Quan was raided by Zhang Liao in Xiaoyaojin, it was Gan Ning and Lü Meng who resisted desperately to keep Sun Quan.

This person's surrender surprised Wang Mang both as well as a little unexpected.

And although Gan Ning was eclectic, in front of Wang Mang, he still didn't dare to be presumptuous, and bowed his hand and said:

"If you return to your lordship, the last general has always been at odds with that Huang Zu, and this time Huang Zu left me and 10,000 brothers alone, it is actually a personal vendetta of the communiqué, Gan Ning would rather be loyal to the lord than follow Huang Zu!" It

can be seen that the grievances between Gan Ning and Huang Zu are still quite big, Huang Zu's guy actually wants to take advantage of this battle to kill Gan Ning, no wonder Gan Ning will surrender.

"That being the case, from now on, General Gan Ning will be my general, and your 10,000 brothers will be under your control!" Wang Mang waved his hand and generously gave Gan Ning the right.

Gan Ning's face was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, my lord!"

He also thought that after he surrendered, Wang Mang would take back his military power and inspect himself for a while, but he didn't expect Wang Mang to continue to let him be in charge of the 10,000 soldiers and horses.

In this way, his worries were also dispelled.

Just when Gan Ning was happy, Wang Mang looked at him and smiled: "However, I am also conditional."

The joy on Gan Ning's face suddenly froze, and then he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the conditions are?"

"I heard that General Gan Ning is good at water warfare, you must have some experience in water warfare, right?"

Wang Mang said slowly: "My conditions are very simple, I plan to form a naval army, with you as the commander of the naval army, and be responsible for building these ships."

After speaking, he took out the blueprint of the previous award from his cuff.

Gan Ning took the drawings with a straight face, looked at the drawings of small, medium and large ships above, and suddenly his eyes lit up, revealing a look of interest.

As the earliest water thief, Gan Ning's knowledge of ships can be said to be unparalleled.

When he saw these drawings, he knew that if these ships were built, they would be able to run rampant in the waters in the future.

"My lord!" Gan Ning put away the drawings and said with a serious face: "These ships are very powerful, and they are also very troublesome to build, and they require a lot

of manpower, material and financial resources!" "You don't have to worry about these" Wang Mang waved his hand and smiled: "You just need to tell me, can you build it?" "

As for the problem of manpower, material and financial resources, you don't have to worry, I will let Xiao He fully cooperate with you, ask people to give people, and ask for money to give money!"

Today's Wang Mang is not the Wang Mang who has just crossed over, after receiving the reward of the gold list, he has a lot of resources in his hands, and he has everything he wants.

As long as you can build a sailor, what does it mean to spend a little money?"

"In this case, I can build one of each of these three ships within a month!" Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and he made a military order!

Shipbuilding also requires experience, and only by building one first, can you build it like the first one.

Building all three types of ships in one month is enough to show Gan Ning's attainments in this area!

"Very good!" Wang Mang laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Gan Ning's shoulder and smiled: "There is a Huang Ze in the north of Inner Huangcheng, and you can build a ship in it."

Okay, this matter is settled, come back to the council hall with me, it's almost time now, and the other pursuing soldiers and horses should also come back

!" "Yes!" Gan Ning answered, put the drawings in his cuffs, and then followed Wang Mang to the council hall.

Today's battle, which began in the morning and lasted until midnight, can be said to be a defeat and retreat of the entire Han army!

Not only was the commander Han Xin, the military advisor Zhang Liang, and the famous general Zhang Liao captured, but the first military general Lu Bu was also killed, and the Jingzhou army and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were also routed one after another.

However, from the afternoon, Zhao Yun in the north took Bai Ma Yi to pursue Xiliang Tieqi, Chen Qingzhi, Lian Po went to pursue Wei Yan and Huang Zu, Wu Yunzhao, and Wu Song went to pursue Xu Chu and Yu Ban.

Calculating the time, the generals have been pursuing for so long, and they should also count the battle losses and come back.

In the conference hall, the lights were lit up, and the sound of excitement kept coming.

When Wang Mang took Gan Ning in, he saw that the generals were talking about it with excitement on their faces.

Seeing Wang Mang come in, everyone saluted: "See the lord!" "No need to be polite" Wang Mang waved his hand and smiled: "This general Gan Ning will be the commander of the naval army in the future, and then you can talk about your battle losses!"

Seeing that everyone was so happy, Wang Mang

knew that the results of this battle must be very rich.

The first to stand up was the military advisor Jiang Ziya: "Lord, of the 100,000 elites of the Han army in the west, 50,000 were captured, 20,000 were killed and wounded, and 30,000 escaped and left." "

Wang Mang participated in the west, and he was still very satisfied with the result, after all, Han Xin and Zhang Liang led the troops over there, and it was already very good to be able to capture half of the opponent's men.

Then Zhao Yun stood up: "Lord, 50,000 Xiliang iron horsemen, more than 8,000 dead and wounded, 20,000 prisoners, and the rest fled." "

Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a cavalry after all, after Lu Bu was killed, some people began to escape, although Zhao Yun then chased and killed, but the other party also fled on horseback, of course he could escape some.

"Yes, the 20,000 cavalry captured by this captivity will be incorporated into your White Horse Servant!" Wang Mang decided where these cavalrymen would go.

Then Chen Qingzhi stood up and said with a smile: "My lord, the last general and General Lian Po led the army to pursue Wei Yan and Huang Zu's Jingzhou army, killing 30,000 enemy troops, capturing 20,000, and the rest fled.

In addition, General Lian Po was old and strong, and he also killed Huang Zu in pursuit!" The

80,000 Jingzhou army was directly wiped out by 50,000, and only 20,000 escaped, and even Huang Zu, the Jiangxia Taishou, was killed, which is not a bad record.

"Well, that's good!" Wang Mang smiled and turned his head to look at Wu Yunzhao's side: "How is the situation on General Wu's side?"

Wu Yunzhao stood up and looked indignant: "Then Xu Chu and Yu Ban didn't fight our army at all, and when they found that the battle situation was unfavorable, they immediately retreated."

Fortunately, General Huang Zhong led a group of soldiers and horses to intercept them and kill Yu Ban on the spot, in this battle our army killed 20,000 enemies and captured 20,000, and the rest escaped under the leadership of Xu Chu.

However, Xu Chu was also injured by the last general, and he couldn't recover without more than a month.

It's just a pity that the 20,000 captives are old, weak, sick and disabled. Speaking

of captives, Wu Yunzhao was a little depressed.

Originally, Wang Mang considered that Huang Zhong was a general of Jingzhou and did not let Huang Zhong participate in this battle, but in the end, Huang Zhong still made a move against Cao Cao's soldiers and horses and killed Yu Ban.

It's a pity that the last person they captured was the old, weak, sick and disabled, which made Wu Yunzhao feel that he didn't seem to have much merit.

Wang Mang couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "General Wu doesn't have to be like this, these people you have captured, I happen to be useful."

Gan Ning, you have the manpower to build a ship!" "

The old, weak, sick and disabled will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield, but it is still no problem to let the other party build a ship and do some manual work!
