The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 441
A few days later, Cen Yongqi's illness didn't get better, but it became more and more serious, and he was unable to command the army. It was originally a chronic poison. , but it is unknown what method was used, so every time I go to Yang Yao, Gan Ning is careful not to drink or eat meat at Yang Yao's place.

The Shanshui army in Yuzhou is so important, Zhong Xiang still wanted to hand it over to the most reassuring person, and asked Guo Fan. The latter replied that he was exposed to the cold wind on the water all the year round, so he needed to rest and recuperate, otherwise his life would not be guaranteed.

For Guo Fan, the former imperial doctor, Zhong Xiang still respects him very much and can only find a successor. The navy is so important, Zhong Xiang naturally wants to hold it in his own hands.

Zhong Quezhong promoted Li Herong, another confidant general, to replace Cen Yongqi as the commander of the navy. However, this man is not bad at land warfare, and his martial arts are only third-rate, and he does not know how to fight in water at all.

"Leader! My younger brother boldly advises that although Gan Ning has only joined the cottage for a short time, he is very loyal and proficient in water warfare, so he can serve as the deputy leader of the navy."

Taking this opportunity, Yang Yao suggested Gan Ning to be the deputy head of the navy and Su Fei to be the vice-commander of the navy. Talent can do it, but it is well known that Li Herong is not good at water warfare.

Yang Yao seemed to be thinking about the cottage, and convinced many people on the mountain, such as Wang Mo, the number one expert of the neutral faction, nodded frequently.

Zhong Xiang was naturally also considering Yang Yao's suggestion, and he was right, the navy is the most important thing, isn't the commander who doesn't understand the navy caught blind?
But at this time, apart from Gan Ning and Su Fei, there is no other general who is proficient in water warfare. For example, the big black horse, let alone Yang Yao's diehard, is just a landlubber who sinks when thrown into the water. kind!

At the same time, Zhong Tong was also thinking that after Gan Ning and Su Fei went up the mountain, they also belonged to the neutral faction and not Yang Yao's forces, and they were proficient in water warfare, so it was not impossible.

"What Yang Xiandi said is very true, Gan Ning was promoted to the deputy commander of the navy, and Su Fei was promoted to the captain of the navy!"

"Thank you for the promotion!" X2
Gan Ning and Su Fei naturally stepped forward to thank him, and Gan Ning knew that Yang Yao had contributed to this matter, so after returning to his standing, he winked at Yang Yao very subtly, expressing that he knew who was responsible for this day , The two have a tacit understanding.

But Yang Yao nodded slightly calmly, the two of them are just like this for the time being 'collusion'!
Some people may ask here, why didn't Yang Yao directly help Gan Ning to become the head of the navy?
We have mentioned more than once that this only navy is the lifeblood of Yuzhou Mountain, and directly recommending Gan Ning to be the leader will make Zhong Xiang suspect that this is the first.

Second, even though Gan Ning’s time on the mountain was too short, less than half a year, the vice-leader of the navy was already in a high position, and Prime Minister Zhong would not agree that the control of the navy would not be in his own hands.

The third is Li Herong, a man who doesn't know how to fight in water. Yang Yao believes that this person can't pose any threat to Gan Ning, and Gan Ning himself thinks that this person is not an obstacle. Maybe, Gan Ning is not worthy of cooperating with Yang Yao.

As expected, a few days later, when Li Herong was practicing the navy, he made a big joke because of the lack of water combat. Every time, Gan Ning came to wipe Li Herong's butt. As it gets higher and higher, there is a faint tendency to replace Li Herong.

Li Herong, on the other hand, feared and resented Gan Ning, thinking that all this was caused by Gan Ning, which made the navy disobedient to his command, and the soldiers of the navy were either beaten or punished, which made the navy very dissatisfied with Li Herong.

When Gan Ning and Su Fei saw Li Herong acting like this, on the surface they were extremely angry and shared the same hatred with the sergeants, and they were already laughing from ear to ear. This is a divine assist sent by Li Herong. There are many soldiers in uniform, why not worry about Li Herong? The more troubles are made, the happier Gan Ning will be.

At the same time, Su Fei, the honest man, mingled with the soldiers at the bottom. Every time Li Herong made trouble, Su Fei would stand by the soldiers, while Gan Ning would come out to intercede for them. Gan Ning, the deputy leader is Su Fei, who is Li Herong?It's just a piece of shit!

Many people in the world are like this. It is obviously their own problem, but they can’t see that others are better than themselves. When they are taken away by excellent people, they will not reflect on themselves and find various excuses, and even hold grudges for being better than themselves. man of.

This Li Herong is a typical example of such a person. He wanted to kill Gan Ning all the time, and was used by Gan Ning to gather the army's morale. When the latter was gathering the Yuzhou Shanshui army's army, at the same time, he intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Zhong Ziyi, the son of Prime Minister Zhong. This signal gave Zhong Xiang is Gan Ning who wants to join his family.

At the same time, Gan Ning's answer to Yang Yao was to make Zhong Xiang believe in himself more, and to gain greater say in customizing naval tactics so that he could cooperate with Yang Yao's actions.

It's not that Yang Yao never doubted Gan Ning, but he felt that Gan Ning's words were right, so he stopped talking. At the same time, Gan Ning was still making friends with Yang Qin, Wang Mo, Yin Shangchi and other neutral generals with military power. A circle made Yang Yao dare not blatantly persecute her.

Half a month passed slowly, and news came that Lu Heng and Zhang He were going to war. Zhong Xiang was anxious to send troops again but was persuaded by Yang Yao again. When Lu Heng, Zhang Yun, and Yuan Tanjun went to war together, it was time to send troops.

Although Zhong Xiang was persuaded by Yang Yao, he still sent spies to Xuzhou and Qingzhou to inquire about specific information. What Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao didn't know was that these spies and scouts were targeted and tied up by Jin Yiwei as soon as they went out to sea. Make rice dumplings one by one, and then the spies who are willing to surrender use it to pass false news to the mountain.

But within ten days, news came from down the mountain that Lu Heng's army had been defeated in Qingzhou, and now he was trapped in Qingzhou and unable to fight back. This news finally made Yang Yao feel that the time had come to send troops with all his might.

Zhong Xiang, Yang Yao, Zhong Ziyi, Wang Zuo, Zhou Lun, Wang Mo, Luo Ying, Yang Qin, Yin Shangchi, Ma Yu, Li Herong, Gan Ning, Su Fei, and others all went out to battle, and only Xia Xia was left on the cottage. There are also some non-combatants and patients such as Guo Fan, Cen Yongqi, Shu Dong and others.

After setting off, Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao asked the navy to hold on to the strait leading to Yuzhou Mountain to ensure the back road and food and grass.

After the two led the army to land at the port, they went straight to Quxian County and found that all the local officials had fled, the county government mansion was empty, and the county soldiers were gone. Tancheng, the governor of Donghai County, was killed.
