No one is not afraid of death, Gan Ning is no exception, he doesn't want to leave behind.

"What? General Gan Ning didn't even listen to what the prefect said?"

Seeing that Gan Ning dared to contradict him, Huang Zu couldn't help changing his expression, and said sternly: "Now I'm waiting for three people, and you are the lowest official. Do you want to let this prefect and General Wei Yan break off?"

In the end, Huang Zu actually knew that his request was a bit rude, so he just wanted to use his official position to suppress Gan Ning.

Needless to say, Gan Ning really didn't know how to refute this reason.

As a subordinate, he couldn't let Wei Yan and Huang Zu stay behind, could he?

For a while, Gan Ning couldn't find any reason to refute.

Seeing that Gan Ning was silent, Wei Yan thought that he was persuaded and immediately ordered: "In this case, leave 1 people to General Gan Ning, and the rest will retreat with me!"

Wei Yan was a decisive person. Knowing that Han Xin and Zhang Liang were defeated, and Lu Bu was killed by Wang Mang, he didn't want to stay for a moment, he just wanted to leave safely with his troops.

With an order, the Jingzhou army, which was still attacking, retreated like a tide.

Chen Qingzhi, who was in command of the battle, couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the enemy general is not stupid, after seeing the name of the lord on the gold list, he knew that Lu Bu was killed!

Pass down the order, the whole army will chase and kill the Jingzhou army! "

Of course Chen Qingzhi would not let go of this opportunity, and immediately chased him down with Lian Po.

The densely packed Wang Mang army rushed out of the city like a tide.

Gan Ning, who was left behind, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene: "Wang Mang has so many soldiers and horses, and the formation is so neat, even if my 1 people fight the opponent to death, there will not be much delay.

Huang Zu, that bastard, actually left all my eight thousand brothers behind. He clearly wanted to eradicate dissidents!

Hmph, since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

Of the 1 left behind, 8000 were recruited by Gan Ning himself, all of whom were his own brothers.

Now all of them are left behind by Huang Zu, clearly wanting to eradicate him, Gan Ning and his brothers.

Faced with such treatment, how could Gan Ning be reconciled!

"Pass down the order, the whole army put down their weapons and surrender to Wang Mang's army!" Gan Ning slammed an order from his mouth.

During this period of time, he also paid attention to Wang Mang, who has always dominated the gold list, and felt that such a character is the real hero.

Since Huang Zu in Jingzhou couldn't tolerate him, and even wanted him to die here, there was no need for him to sacrifice his life for him.

Returning to Wang Mang is also a good way out. At least every time Wang Mang is on the list, he can proudly say to others:

"Look, that's my lord!"

With an order, Gan Ning and his [-] soldiers and horses all put down their weapons and surrendered.

This made Chen Qingzhi overjoyed. While sending people to settle Gan Ning and others, he notified Wang Mang about Gan Ning's surrender, and at the same time led the army to continue chasing the Jingzhou army!

Chapter 64 Forming a navy, building ships, and fruitful results

"Oh? You are Gan Ning?"

Looking at this handsome young man with an eclectic taste all over his body, Wang Mang's eyes flashed with interest.

Of course he had heard of Gan Ning's name, the opponent was one of the Twelve Tiger Officials of Eastern Wu, who was good at water warfare.

At that time, Cao Cao claimed that an army of 40 attacked Ruxukou, and Sun Quan sent Gan Ning to attack Cao Ying at night.

Gan Ning rushed in with 100 men, killed some, and rushed out with his subordinates.

Even when Sun Quan was attacked by Zhang Liao in Xiaoyaojin later, it was Gan Ning and Lu Meng who resisted desperately to save Sun Quan.

This person's surrender surprised and surprised Wang Mang.

Although Gan Ning didn't stick to one pattern, he still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Wang Mang, and he bowed his hands and said:

"Returning to my lord, the last general has always been at odds with Huang Zu. This time, Huang Zu left me and my ten thousand brothers alone. It is really a public revenge. Gan Ning would rather be loyal to your lord than follow Huang Zu again!"

It can be seen that the grievances between Gan Ning and Huang Zu are still quite big, and Huang Zu's guy actually wanted to take advantage of this battle to kill Gan Ning, so it's no wonder that Gan Ning surrendered.

"Since that's the case, from now on, General Gan Ning will be my general, and your [-] brothers will be under your control!" Wang Mang waved his hand and generously gave Gan Ning the right.

Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Thank you sir!"

He thought that after he surrendered, Wang Mang would take back his military power and inspect him for a period of time. Unexpectedly, Wang Mang didn't even think about letting him continue to be in charge of the [-] soldiers.

In this way, he also dispelled his worries.

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

The joy on Gan Ning's face froze immediately, and then he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what your lord's condition is?"

"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 condition is very simple. I plan to form a navy, and you will be the commander of the navy and be responsible for building these ships."

After finishing speaking, he took out the blueprint previously rewarded by the gold list from his cuff.

Gan Ning took the drawings with a serious face, looked at the blueprints of small, medium and large ships, his eyes lit up, showing interest.

As the earliest water thief, Gan Ning's knowledge of ships is second to none.

When he saw these blueprints, he knew that if these ships were built, they would definitely be able to run across all major waters in the future.

"My lord!" Gan Ning put away the blueprints and said with a serious face, "These ships are very powerful, and they are very troublesome to build, requiring a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources!"

"You don't need to worry about these." Wang Mang waved his hands and smiled, "You just need to tell me, can you build it?"

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

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

As long as you can build a navy, what's the point of spending some money?

"That being the case, I can build one of each of these three types of ships within a month!" Gan Ning's eyes lit up, and he issued a military order!

Shipbuilding also requires experience. Only when one is built first, can the next one be built like the first one like dumplings.

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 said with a smile, "It happens that there is a Yellow Ze in the north of Inner Yellow City, where ships can be built.

Alright, this matter is settled here, come back to the meeting hall with me, it is almost midnight now, the other soldiers and horses who pursued should also come back! "

"Yes!" Gan Ning replied, put the drawing in his cuff, and then followed Wang Mang to the meeting hall.

Today's battle started in the morning and lasted until midnight. The Han army was completely defeated!

Not only the commander-in-chief Han Xin, the military adviser Zhang Liang, the famous general Zhang Liao were arrested, the number one general Lu Bu was also killed, the Jingzhou army and Cao Cao's troops were also defeated.

But in the afternoon, Zhao Yun from the north took Bai Ma Yicong to chase the Xiliang iron cavalry. Chen Qingzhi and Lian Po went to chase Wei Yan and Huang Zu, Wu Yunzhao, and Wu Song went to chase Xu Chu and Yu Jin.

Counting the time, the generals have been chasing for so long, and they should count the battle damage and come back.

In the meeting hall, lights and festoons were decorated, and the sound of excitement continued to come.

When Wang Mang brought Gan Ning in, he saw the generals talking excitedly.

Seeing Wang Mang coming in, everyone saluted one after another: "See my lord!"

"There's no need to be too polite." Wang Mang waved his hands and said with a smile: "This General Gan Ning will be the commander of the navy from now on. Next, tell us 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 one to stand up was military adviser Jiang Ziya: "My lord, the Han army in the west has one hundred thousand elite troops, fifty thousand were captured, twenty thousand were killed or wounded, and thirty thousand escaped."

Wang Mang participated in the west, and he was very satisfied with the result of the battle. After all, Han Xin and Zhang Liang led the army there, and it was already very good to capture half of the opponent's troops.

Then Zhao Yun stood up: "Master, fifty thousand Xiliang cavalry, more than 8000 people were killed or injured, twenty thousand were captured, and the rest fled."

Dong Zhuo's Xiliang iron cavalry was cavalry after all. After Lu Bu was killed, some people started to flee. Although Zhao Yun chased after him, the other party also fled on horseback. Of course, some people could escape.

"That's right, the [-] captured cavalry will be incorporated into your white horse followers!" Wang Mang nodded and decided where these cavalry should 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, Huang Zu's Jingzhou army killed [-] enemy troops, captured [-], and the rest fled.

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

Of the 2 Jingzhou army, [-] were directly wiped out, and only [-] escaped. Even Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, was beheaded. This record is not bad.

"Well, not bad!" Wang Mang nodded and smiled, then turned to look at Wu Yunzhao: "How is the situation at General Wu's side?"

Wu Yunzhao stood up with an indignant expression on his face: "Then Xu Chu and Yu Jin didn't fight our army at all, and when they found that the battle was unfavorable, they retreated immediately.

Fortunately, General Huang Zhong led an army to intercept them and beheaded Yu Jin on the spot. In this battle, our army killed [-] enemies and took [-] prisoners. The rest escaped under the leadership of Xu Chu.

However, Xu Chu was also injured by the last general, and he would not be able to recover within a month.

It's just a pity that the 2 prisoners were old, weak, sick and disabled. "

Speaking of captives, Wu Yunzhao was a little depressed.

Originally, Wang Mang did not allow Huang Zhong to participate in the battle considering that Huang Zhong was a general from Jingzhou, but in the end Huang Zhong attacked Cao Cao's soldiers and horses and beheaded Yu Jin.

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

Wang Mang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "General Wu doesn't have to be like this, the people you captured are just useful to me.

Gan Ning, you have enough manpower to build ships! "

The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are definitely not allowed to go to the battlefield, but it is still no problem to let the opponent build ships and do some physical work!

Chapter 65 Forming the Seven Legions

In the conference hall, the good news from the four major battlefields made everyone understand that after this battle, the great man will surely decline!

After this battle and the battle of Yuancheng, all the three heroes of the great man were captured, even the first general was beheaded by Wang Mang, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, which can be described as a heavy loss.

Even if the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, they cannot withstand such consumption.

"This battle depends on your full support!"

Wang Mang looked at the generals under his command with satisfaction and said with a smile: "With the help of all the generals, I, Wang Mang, overthrow the big man, just around the corner!"

"However, now that our army has a large number of soldiers and horses, we need to determine the commander and general. Today I will divide the army for everyone here."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of everyone at the scene changed immediately, knowing that their lord was about to plan the deployment of the army.

They cheered up one by one, pricked up their ears to listen, for fear that they might miss something.

"My lord is right. Now our army has more than 20 troops. With the prisoners captured in this battle, the strength can reach 40. It is really necessary to determine the commander-in-chief."

Jiang Ziya was not surprised, instead he stroked his white beard and nodded with a smile.

Sun Bin on the side also nodded in agreement: "Yes, it will be more convenient to command in the future only if the ownership of soldiers and horses is stipulated."

At this stage, because Wang Mang has not stipulated who will command which army, under normal circumstances, Wang Mang directly appoints generals to lead the army.

The disadvantage of this is that the soldiers below don't know who they should listen to!

With so many generals, if everyone has commanded them, who should they listen to in future wars?

Only when the commander is stipulated, can the ownership of the soldiers and horses be clarified in the future, so that the soldiers below can be better commanded.

"Since everyone agrees, then I will announce the corps I have divided!"

It was rare for Wang Mang to show his seriousness. He stood up and shot straight into the sky, making him look very tall and making everyone stand up and listen to orders.

"From now on, all the cavalry will belong to Commander Zhao Yun. This legion is called the White Horse Legion, with a total strength of [-]!"

Obviously, this is a cavalry regiment based on the White Horse Yicong!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately stood up and saluted: "Zhao Yun takes orders!"

"Next is Commander Ran Min's 5-strong army. Ran Min is training them into a beggar army. This army is called the Qinglong Army, with a total strength of [-]!

In addition, Mr. Jiang Ziya will become the military advisor of the Azure Dragon Corps! "

Ran Min was leading the army to resist Yuan Shao in Ye City at the moment, and he was not there. Jiang Ziya immediately stood up and saluted after hearing the words: "Jiang Shang takes orders!"

"Wu Yunzhao commanded [-] soldiers and horses, called the Tiger Legion, with a total force of [-]! Gongsun Sheng is the military advisor, and Wu Song is the vanguard!"

Wu Yunzhao and Wu Song stood up immediately when they heard the words, and bowed their hands in salute: "Wu Yunzhao (Wu Song) takes orders!"

The Tigers have Gongsun Sheng as a military adviser, who can make up for some shortcomings in tactics.

Although Wu Yunzhao is also an all-round commander, Wang Mang still equipped him with a Gongsun Sheng, which feels safer.

"General Lian Po commanded [-] soldiers and horses, called the Qilin Army, and the total strength was [-]!! Mr. Sun Bin was the military adviser, and Zhang Liao was arrested. If he is willing to surrender, he will also be incorporated into the Qilin Army!"
