All 100,000 Jingzhou naval forces gathered here and began to conduct unified selection. Since these soldiers knew that Gan Ning was coming to select soldiers, they all worked hard to be selected.
At first, when they followed Cai Mao and Huang Zu, the navy soldiers only practiced but did not fight. They rarely fought with the Jiangdong navy. Moreover, Cai Mao and Huang Zu's commanding skills were not outstanding. As a result, although Jingzhou's navy soldiers
It grew bigger day by day, but its combat effectiveness did not improve. When Gan Ning came, the navy soldiers were quite excited.
Following a promising commander, they also have the opportunity to make achievements.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!"
"Woooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!"
The sound of war drums and horns resounded in the water village and reverberated continuously, making the hundreds of thousands of sailors in formation feel heroic and excited.
Gan Ning stood on the high platform, holding the Hengjiang knife, and shouted: "Start!"
With an order, all the soldiers separated in an orderly manner.
Gan Ning had already established regulations in the camp to select navy soldiers.
He set various tests such as long-distance running, swimming, and strength, and selected the most elite soldiers one by one from a hundred thousand soldiers to form a new Jinfan Navy.
Gan Ning got off the high platform and came to the inspection place for long-distance running.
The distance of the long-distance running is thirty miles, a total of fifteen thousand meters. It can be regarded as a long-distance running, but it is not too difficult.
For well-trained soldiers in the army, thirty miles is not too difficult. Gan Ning stood aside and watched the soldiers running out one after another, with a smile on his lips. There were 100,000 people for him to choose from, which felt really good.
I feel so comfortable, thinking back to when he recruited soldiers and trained them one by one, so that he could train a capable naval force.
Now that there are countless soldiers for him to choose from, it is undoubtedly better.
"Captain, the lord is here."
Just as Gan Ning was watching with enthusiasm, a captain walked up to Gan Ning and whispered.
Gan Ning perked up and immediately let his general lead the way.
Gan Ning came to the gate of the naval camp and found Wang Can and Dian Wei coming. However, there were only Wang Can and Dian Wei, and there were no other generals.
Wang Can's arrival immediately attracted the attention of many soldiers.
There were already many soldiers in the water stronghold, and Wang Can stood out in the crowd with Gan Ning as his companion. The soldiers spread the word word of mouth, and it didn't take long for all the soldiers in the water stronghold to know about Wang Can's arrival.
News. At this time, the soldiers who participated in the test were even more motivated and felt that they had to perform well.
Gan Ning accompanied Wang Can and said, "My lord, why are you here?"
Wang Can smiled and said: "The victory or defeat of our army depends on your navy. Do you think I can stop coming? I am here to encourage these soldiers so that they can test to their best."
Gan Ning cupped his fists and said, "Lord, I'm so kind!"
Wang Can smiled faintly and said, "Let's go, take me for a walk inside."
A group of people shuttled back and forth among various projects in the military.
As Gan Ning walked, he said: "My lord, in order to select soldiers this time, the general set up a test of running thirty miles, swimming fifteen miles of river, using wooden figures to test his strength, and testing his archery skills.
. Each project will be conducted by a group of people a day, and no soldier will be allowed to participate in two projects in one day. They will take turns in this order and be completed within a total of seven days. After seven days, the results of 100,000 people will be tallied and qualified sailors will be selected.
"
Wang Can asked: "Xingba, you have contacted these navy troops, how many of them do you think you can pick out?"
Gan Ning thought for a while, stretched out three fingers and said, "Three achievements are pretty good."
"Thirty percent?"
Wang Can murmured and said: "Isn't this the lost naval force? I hope the more the better!"
Wang Can stayed in the military camp for a whole day.
At noon, Wang Can, Gan Ning, Dian Wei and the navy soldiers had dinner together, and Wang Can left in the evening. The soldiers in the camp were in high spirits and were actively involved in the selection process.
A week goes by in a blink of an eye.
Jiangxia, Prefecture.
After Gan Ning completed the selection, he hurried to Jiangxia to meet Wang Can.
In the hall, Wang Can was discussing with Jia Xu and others how to deal with Jiujiang. When he heard the soldiers reporting that Gan Ning was coming, Wang Can immediately asked the soldiers to invite Gan Ning into the hall. After Gan Ning entered, he cupped his fists and saluted Wang Can and said:
"Lord, after seven days of intense selection, the final general has completed the selection of 100,000 people and achieved the goal of this selection."
Gan Ning beamed, it must have been a good result.
Wang Can asked: "How many people are selected?"
Gan Ning smiled and replied: "Reporting to my lord, this time a total of 46,829 people were selected. The number of so many people was beyond the general's expectation."
"Hahaha……"
Wang Can even laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect to reach this level."
Jia Xuxiao said: "Xingba, my lord's plan is 9 out of 10. It would be great to be able to select 10,000 people. I didn't expect that there would be more than 46,000 people. It is really a big surprise. Yes.
With more than 46,000 naval soldiers, my lord can finally stop thinking about attacking Jiujiang County."
Wang Can said solemnly: "Xingba, it took seven days to select the soldiers. There are more than twenty days left. You must train these soldiers as soon as possible. In one month, I will send troops to attack Jiujiang County. By then, you
His mission was to contain Zhou Yu and confine Zhou Yu’s naval forces in Poyang Lake so that he could not rush to aid Jiujiang.”
Gan Ning said confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely complete the mission."
Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Go and get ready!"
"promise!"
Gan Ning clasped his fists in response, then turned and left.
…
Poyang Lake, Jiangdong Navy Dazhai.
In the camp, there is a large tent of the Chinese army.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce sat opposite each other, and Sun Ce said seriously: "Gong Jin, the news from Jiangxia is that Gan Ning is training his navy on a large scale, and Gan Ning selected more than 40,000 people from Jingzhou's 100,000 navy, and gave up most of them.
The soldiers must be elite and should not be underestimated. Gan Ning is training in Jiangxia, and we are at Poyang Lake. It may be difficult to stop Gan Ning."
Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, Gan Ning is training troops to avenge his past humiliation. We can give him a chance."
Sun Ce frowned and said, "Gong Jin, what do you mean?"
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "When my lord left, he asked our navy to take advantage of Gan Ning's navy to completely suppress Gan Ning, making it difficult for Gan Ning to train a new navy to solve the biggest problem in Jiangdong.
Hidden danger. Now that Gan Ning is actively preparing for war, we will take the initiative to lure Gan Ning into fighting. What do you think?"
"How to seduce?" Sun Ce asked.
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Seducing Gan Ning is nothing more than provocation and scolding. Is there any other way?"
Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's take advantage of Gan Ning's training as a naval force to challenge Gan Ning and see if Gan Ning has the guts to lead a battle."
The two looked at each other, with strong fighting spirit shining in their eyes.
To completely suppress Gan Ning's navy was what the two of them had in mind.
