On the Yellow River, there was no idea when a group of water thieves appeared, hijacking merchants from south to north, but they did not harm the passengers. The key was that this group of thieves went north at all, and the deepest one directly rushed around Yecheng.

If Yuan Shao hadn't been attacking Gongsun Zan at that time, the main force was not here, so I was afraid he had been chasing him thousands of miles away. However, because of this, this group of thieves naturally entered her sight and investigated a little: You, Mengmeng, are so mean, that you actually disguised the water army as a thief to harass my territory!

Unfortunately, there is no evidence. These guys come and go in a hurry, and it is difficult to catch them. It is useless to scold them without evidence.

Gan Ning is also powerful. When she wears armor, the soldiers under her are also like a great man's elite soldiers. They should be as serious as they should be. However, once they become a thief, they immediately take off their regular armor and put on ragged leather armor. The key is that they are all kinds of non-mainstream decorations, and their temperament and personality become like rogues. It is hard to think that the two are actually the same person.

Just like Gan Ning, when the thief was dressed up, he looked like a non-mainstream female hooligan, with thick lead powder on his face, painted his eyelashes long and thick, and the lipstick should be applied as thick as possible. Combined with the headscarf and colorful chicken feathers on his head, the exposed left shoulder and the sliver on his top, he was simply a female hooligan.

But after taking off his makeup, he changed into armor and looked pretty and dignified, serious and upright, completely different from the two.

The key is to be vigilant. Yuan Shao sent people to follow him several times, but in the end these people were all unreturned. Therefore, for so long, Yuan Shao had no evidence to prove that the Han Navy and the Jinfan Thief were the same group.

But this did not prevent her. The purpose of training the navy in the Bohai Sea was to go south to restrain and even defeat this group of navy when necessary. She did not have suitable naval talents, but there were many talents and many people who could build ships. If there were insufficient naval generals, then use the number of ships and the number of soldiers to support her.

Finally, Lu Xiang was appointed as the main general, Jiang Yiqu and Mao Kai were supplemented, and they were in charge of the navy. After two years of preparation, there were hundreds of ships of all sizes and 5,000 navy troops. A lot of money was spent on this, and the expansion of her regular army was delayed.

But there is no way to build a navy army. You have to cross the river when going south, and you have to guard against Cao's army from crossing the river. Even if you go to Henoi or even enter Hedong, you have to cross the river if you want to go to the Central Plains!

"General, we are about to enter the Yellow River channel!" From the Bohai Sea, we headed south along the coast, and finally we were about to reach the mouth of the Yellow River. The soldiers below came to report.

"Very good, set up a formation. Tell each ship to maintain the formation and not to make a breakthrough. The other party is an experienced thief, while we are a new naval army that has just formed. The skills of interspersed between ships or water battles are not as good as those of the other party! But we have enough weapons and a more solid and huge warship, push them directly over, and I see where the other party can escape!" Lu Xiang immediately announced that their target this time was the water camp of the Great Han Navy.

As long as you capture this place, the other party will be a stray dog. Even if you can sway around the Yellow River, you will either give up the ship or fight with them desperately, and there is no third way to go.

In this way, they controlled the line of the Yellow River. Yuan Shao's army could go south at any time, but it would be extremely difficult for Cao's army to cross the river!

One day after entering the Yellow River, they had already entered Qingzhou. This was under Yuan Tan's rule and it was also Yuan Shao's territory. Not long after he arrived here, a unit came over, and soon some soldiers came out and used a banner to signal the visitor to express his identity.

Seeing this, Lu Xiang immediately ordered to show his identity and hoped to rest here for a day before continuing to sail westward.

After chanting the flag, the Qingzhou soldiers on the shore breathed a sigh of relief. The Han navy not only raided northward, but also raided along the Qingzhou coast from time to time. Most of the eastern part of Qingzhou are mountainous and wooded areas, and most of the inhabitable plains to the west are near the sea.

By the sea, it is naturally within the range of attacks by the navy. In the past two years, many aristocratic families along the coast have to move away from the beach. The thieves specifically contacted the aristocratic families and then distributed the ones they could not take away to the local people.

Many people were worried that they would not dare to accept the disaster. After many people accepted it, they gritted their teeth and wanted to join the thief. In the past three years, at least thousands of people in Qingzhou and Jizhou were taken to Yanzhou by Ganning and sent to other places to settle down.

During this period, a group of good-quality ones were selected to supplement the navy, which allowed the Han navy to be expanded to 5,000. However, on the surface, there were only 3,000. More ship branches and soldiers were placed in the secretly opened water camps in Qingzhou, and they were transported and supplied from the Dongjun water camps. Those who knew about this were Cao Cao, San Gong and Liu Xie.

"Shui Pirates are so rampant?" After getting ashore, Lu Xiang had to contact the generals in Qingzhou, and only then did he realize that the other party was so arrogant.

"The problem is that they had problems, so they got on the boat and left. The state has formed a few naval forces, and finally formed a time and was destroyed by the other party once. In the end, they could only defend passively like this." Qingzhou general and Yuan Tan's general Cen Bi replied helplessly.

"It's okay, we're here, they can't continue to be rampant!" Lu Xiang replied.

"I'm sorry, everyone!" Cen Bi hoped so. The key was that he saw that this fleet was larger than the thief, and there were more people. He didn't understand the water battle. However, it was just to fight slowly with fast, win by more, and use a large ship to crush the small ship.

Just say that if a large ship of this size really needs to crash, ordinary small boats will basically capsize directly, and ordinary warships will have to crack and water even if they hit the wood. With rockets and even rock-throwing cars on it, it will be even more powerful.

The large army rested overnight, mainly replenishing some food and water, and then began to continue to go west. Three days later, when Cao Cao began to enter the Chenliu area of ​​Yanzhou, he was less than 200 miles away from the water camp of the Han Navy.

"Head...General, the Hebei Navy has been 'in arrested'!" At the same time, the boat that was going out to investigate was soon back to report.

"Very good, follow me to fight!" Gan Ning nodded. At this moment, her serious and cold expression gave people a sense of alienation that she would not enter. But for her old subordinates, this was actually a disguise. Everyone knew who she was. If she really fought, she would be a crazy woman.

"Go on the boat and go to war!" Gan Ning ordered that the entire water camp immediately began to prepare. She just returned to the military camp, wrote the situation here as a war report, and then sent someone to Cao Cao. She had already sent a similar war report earlier.

As the saying goes, "The general is outside, and the king will not accept the orders." Since she became a general of the navy, the court promised to give her only a general policy, and the specific action will be decided by her. At most, it is the appointment of personnel and supplies of warships, which require the court's approval to supplement.

The court can give the navy certain autonomy, but it cannot be independent of the court's management.

"It's really troublesome. I have to write so many battle reports for a war..." Gan Ning finished his explanation, and saw that the battle reports were delivered, so he had to complain. Fortunately, after two years, she was used to this. The initial complaints were more than that.

"Let me see how capable this Hebei navy is!" Gan Ning licked his lips, showing a playful expression.

Then he boarded the warship. Seeing that the soldiers and ships were ready, he immediately ordered: "Follow me to fight!"
