Chapter 261 Most Generals Come From Rangers
Liu Biao was sitting in Jingzhou and had millions of soldiers, but his general was not a good general.
To be precise, the main generals under Liu Biao were Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Huang Zu, Wenpin, and Gan Ning.
Among them, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Huang Zu were all wealthy families in Jingzhou. When Liu Biaodan rode into Jingzhou, he relied on the strength of their three families.
After Liu Biao took control of Jingzhou, the three families also became more entangled with each other, and their interests became more entangled.
On the other hand, Wenpin and Gan Ning were not natives of Jingzhou, and they came from poor families.
Gan Ning was born a water thief, so he was naturally ostracized by wealthy families like Liu Biao.
In addition, don't talk about Huang Zhong, Wei Yan was also in Jingzhou at that time.
To be precise, they were under the command of Han Xuan in Changsha County under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou.
Although Han Xuan nominally belonged to Liu Biao, in Liu Biao's later years, the only areas he could control were the four counties of Jingbei.
Han Xuan was in a semi-independent state, similar to the current relationship between the various princes of the Han Dynasty and Liu Xie.
Let’s talk about the greatest achievements of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Huang Zu.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were the chief and deputy commanders of the Jingzhou navy, and controlled more than 100,000 elite navy troops in Jingzhou. Logically speaking, Gan Ning was Cai Mao's general.
When it comes to the two of them, perhaps the most famous thing is that they were eliminated by Zhou Yu using counterintuitive tactics.
It can be said that as far as Jingzhou is concerned, the two of them are just bastards, and there are no capable people between them.
Especially a person like Gan Ning, who came from a humble background and had previously pushed the Jingzhou navy he led to the ground and rubbed him.
Therefore, after Gan Ning came to Cai Mao's command, he was suppressed by Cai Mao everywhere.
Huang Zu was better than Cai Mao and the others. When he was young, he attacked Sun Jian in a sneak attack and successfully shot Sun Jian to death.
After that, he guarded Jiangxia and resisted Sun Ce's revenge. It can be said that Huang Zu was relatively capable of fighting.
However, Huang Zu is already old, and he was in the Three Kingdoms era where generals emerged in large numbers, so Huang Zu seems to be relatively mediocre.
But again, these three people are all from rich families and look down on people from poor families.
Therefore, Gan Ning was squeezed out everywhere in Jingzhou.
Gan Ning took a sip of wine and told Liu Xie exactly what he had experienced in Jingzhou.
After Liu Xie heard this, he suddenly felt that Liu Biao had really become so stupid?
In fact, Gan Ning's departure from Jingzhou this time was regarded as absconding. As for the reason, it was really just a small matter.
Gan Ning was originally a water thief and had an unruly personality. Cai Mao first disliked Gan Ning's humble background and felt that Gan Ning was unruly.
As a result, the two sides continued to have conflicts until one day, Cai Mao caught Gan Ning and his generals drinking in the camp.
Cai Mao immediately beat Gan Ning with twenty military sticks on the grounds that he violated military orders.
Logically speaking, drinking in the camp is indeed not allowed, and the Han military law also stipulates it.
However, ordinary generals will not pay too much attention to this item during their leisure time.
To put it simply, if he doesn't find something to do for a group of young and vigorous young people, how can they avoid causing trouble when there is no war?
What's more, when Cai Mao punished Gan Ning, he smelled of alcohol.

What does this mean? It means that Cai Mao deliberately went to find Gan Ning after being drunk.
Therefore, Gan Ning left Jingzhou with his old subordinates, the eight hundred brocade sail thieves, after many days of grievances.
When they were about to return to the river and continue their work as Jinfan thieves, Gan Ning suddenly heard merchants coming and going discussing the Luoyang Competition.
Gan Ning, who wanted to be an official and to honor his ancestors, brought his brothers to Luoyang.
Liu Xie quietly looked at Gan Ning, who had a resentful look on his face. He was almost bursting with joy.
Who was Gan Ning? It can be said that during the Three Kingdoms era, basically no one was more powerful than Gan Ning in terms of water warfare!
Think about Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Cheng Pu, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, for Gan Ning, he can fight if he wants to.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were helpless in the face of the plunder of Jinfan thieves, but they were severely punished by Gan Ning.
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were also water pirates, and their main activities were near Jiujiang.
But they never dared to show their teeth to Gan Ning, because they were also beaten by Gan Ning.
Now the two of them have directly become Gan Ning's little fans.
At this time, Ling Tong had not yet risen, he was just a half-grown child. His father, Ling Cao, met Gan Ning when he followed Cheng Pu to exterminate the water thieves.
As a result, he was killed by Gan Ning, and Cheng Pu was defeated and returned to Chaisang.
It can be said that in the future, all the naval generals of Wu State will fight against Gan Ning, and Gan Ning maintains a record of complete victory.
But Liu Biao didn't know how to use such a naval general. Instead, he followed Cai Mao's advice and forced him away?
It has to be said that Liu Biao is really useless.
"What does Xingba not have planned?" Liu Xie asked after seeing Gan Ning finish telling his story.
"Plan? I don't have any plan." Gan Ning shook his head, and then said: "I just heard on the river that the emperor intended to hold a big competition."
"So, I wanted to come and have a look, but after I came to Luoyang, I found that if I wanted to sign up for the quotation competition, I needed a recommendation from a local villager or a document from the county magistrate, but..."
Gan Ning didn't say the rest, but Liu Xie could understand what he wanted to say.
To put it simply, Gan Ning was from Bajun, Yizhou and was a water bandit, but no one could prove it to him.
This means that Gan Ning can't even sign up for the most basic registration, let alone participate in the competition.
So at this time, Gan Ning felt extremely confused.
Seeing this, Liu Xie smiled in his heart. He was not afraid that Gan Ning would be confused, but he was afraid that Gan Ning would not be interested.
Isn't Gan Ning's worry about not being able to prove it to him? But who is Liu Xie? He said that as the emperor, whether Gan Ning can participate or not is just a matter of his words.
However, Gan Ning's incident served as a wake-up call to Liu Xie.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. There were not only princes but also knights in various places.
These people, to put it nicely, are knights and righteous men; to put it worse, they are just hooligans.
The rogue mentioned here does not have a derogatory meaning.
For example, Boss Cao’s two personal bodyguard generals, Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
One is a powerful man from Xujiazhuang, and the other is a knight-errant who has committed a crime.
However, their fighting power is definitely among the top ten in the Three Kingdoms!

Besides, the former great swordsman Wang Yue went deep into the Northland alone and killed the Shanyu of Xianbei. But in the end, Wang Yue was just a ranger.
Therefore, in the Three Kingdoms era, except for the top talents from the famous families, most of the other capable people were from rangers.
And it is impossible for these people to have such a thing as proof.
Because they either committed a crime and were wanted by the government, or they left home when they were young. The county officials have changed several times. Who can prove it to them?
Without proof, this means that these people have no way to participate in the competition.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie suddenly felt that he should order the officials responsible for statistics to relax restrictions and ask them not to register with any documents, vouchers or the like.
Otherwise, the significance of Liu Xie's hosting of this competition would be much less.
