"This … Does our bet still count?!" Zang Ba gulped as he looked at Liu Mang, who was standing among the Jiangxia Navy's Central Army.
Looking at Liu Mang, he didn't look like he was kidnapped at all. He looked like a leader. There were three generals standing beside Liu Mang. Zang Ba didn't recognize the two young generals, but he still remembered the old general, Huang Zhong, who almost made his God of War vanish.
"Yes! As long as you dare to lead the army and charge, I, Zhang Liao, will lose you a year's salary! " Zhang Liao rolled his eyes and said. Zhang Liao was a man with a family. His salary was needed to support his family. If he lost a year's salary, Zhang Liao would really go hungry.
However, Zang Ba didn't dare to accept this bet.
"Your Highness, King Of Shu!" Chen Deng reacted quickly and cupped his fists towards Liu Mang.
"Where's Father-in-law?!" Liu Mang asked curiously. Today's treatment was really good. They actually came out of the city to welcome him. Other than Gao Shun, Lü Bu's generals were basically all present.
"My lord is on the city gate tower!" Chen Deng pointed at the figure on the city gate tower and said.
"Old General Huang, it's up to you!" Liu Mang said to Huang Zhong who was standing beside him.
"Yes!" Huang Zhong nodded and walked out from the Central Army. He pulled his battle robe behind him and immediately knelt down. A smooth voice rang out from the city gate of Huangzhou City. "Jiang Xia's defeated general, Huang Zhong."
"Gan Ning, Xingba!"
"Su Fei, Zimo!" Another two generals knelt down.
"Jiang Xia's Navy, under Lü Pingdong, Wen Hou, Lord Lü. We are invincible in both civil and military matters. Defeated general, we have realized our mistake. Jiang Xia's Navy, we are willing to surrender to Lord Lü! "
"We are willing to surrender!"
"My lord!" Chen Gong couldn't see Zang Ba and the others, but he saw Liu Mang. It was impossible for his golden armor not to be eye-catching.
Huang Zhong's words actually brought 5000 navy soldiers and two navy generals to subdue Liu Mang.
"Hmph, open the city gate and let them in!" Lü Bu coldly snorted. He naturally saw Liu Mang's appearance as the leader of the Central Army. Furthermore, the Jiangxia Navy didn't bring any weapons. He knew that Liu Mang should be fine.
In addition to the person standing beside Liu Mang, Lü Bu knew that Liu Mang definitely had a great harvest this time. Who knew that this kid actually managed to subdue 5000 Jiangxia Army soldiers and even two navy generals.
The Lvbu Army had many infantry and cavalry soldiers. They weren't familiar with naval warfare at all. With 5000 navy soldiers, it could be said that Lü Bu was like a tiger that had grown wings. However, Lü Bu was unhappy that this kid didn't send someone to inform the Lvbu Army in advance. This made the Lvbu Army think that the Jiangxia Navy was attacking. It almost turned into a war.
In fact, Lü Bu was hoping that Liu Mang would return as soon as possible. In order to return as soon as possible, Liu Mang even abandoned the City Guard and let them return on their own. He then single-handedly boarded the Jiangxia Army's warship and rushed towards Huangzhou City.
Although the 5000 navy soldiers were subdued, they didn't let down their guard. A large tent was prepared for them outside Huangzhou City. The City Guard also returned.
In the Huangzhou City Magistrate's Office, both civil and military officials were present. Liu Mang led Huang Zhong and Gan Ning Sufei to the side and waited for Lü Bu's arrival.
Do you know why Liu Mang was able to capture Huang Zhong and Gan Ning Sufei? It turns out that it was all thanks to Gongzi Huang She.
When the City Guard and Huang Zhong's personal guards met, Huang Zhong risked his life to protect Huang She in order to obtain news of his son. He let Huang She's personal guards lead Huang She away first while he brought up the rear.
More than 100 cavalrymen suddenly plunged into the Macedonian formation of the City Guard. Huang Zhong, who had never seen such a formation before, immediately suffered a loss. His personal guards were surrounded by the City Guard and Huang She was also unable to escape.
Liu Mang led the cavalry to chase after them. 300 against 100. Moreover, Liu Mang's cavalrymen were heavy cavalrymen. Naturally, it wasn't a problem.
Huang Zhong picked up his longbow and wanted to help Huang She out of this predicament. To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader. He aimed his bow and arrow at Liu Mang. Just as Liu Mang was about to be shot off his horse, an arrow flew from behind and blocked Huang Zhong's arrow.
The person who shot the arrow was a handsome young man. He was Huang Zhong's son, Huang Xu. Seeing his son alive in front of him, Huang Zhong naturally lost his will to fight.
He threw down his longbow and surrendered.
Huang She's eldest son was also taken down by Liu Mang's City Guard.
The battle between Liu Mang and Huang Zhong was discovered by the Jiangxia Navy. Su Fei and Gan Ning wanted to save Huang She, but they were afraid of breaking the vases.
In order to survive, Huang She not only ordered the Jiangxia Navy to lay down their weapons under the careful guidance of Liu Mang, but he also scolded Gan Ning Sufei who tried to persuade Huang She. He even threatened to let Huang Zu punish him when he returned.
Gan Ning was originally very unhappy with Huang She. When he heard this, he immediately became angry. Didn't you want the Jiangxia Navy to lay down their weapons?
Thus, Gan Ning directly subdued Liu Mang.
This meat pie that fell from the sky really made Liu Mang so shocked that he was unable to close his mouth.
"Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng? Gan Ning, Gan Xingba? Su Fei, Su Zimo?! "Lü Bu read out the names one by one. He deliberately ignored Liu Mang, making Liu Mang feel very awkward.
"What ability do you have?!" Lü Bu had seen Huang Zhong's ability. It could be said that he was the only person who could be on par with Lü Bu. This kind of person could be a commander on the outside and a fierce general on the inside. He was a rare person, and Lü Bu would definitely put him in an important position.
However, Gan Ning and Su Fei were not familiar with Lü Bu.
"I have some insignificant abilities. I know how to use weapons, and I'm good at naval warfare!" Su Fei was very humble as he spoke of his ability.
"Good at naval warfare?!" Lü Bu could also see that this Su Fei was not someone who relied on martial arts to make a living. He had not even reached the Spirit Refinement realm, but he could command an army. It could be said that he was good at leading troops, just like Gao Shun.
"What about you, Gan Ning, Gan Xingba?!" Lü Bu asked.
Compared to Su Fei's modesty, Gan Ning was much more unbridled. He opened his mouth and said, "I can fight as long as I command an army. Three thousand cavalry can move unhindered in Jingwu. Ten thousand naval troops can move unhindered in the lakes and seas. Thirty thousand infantry can expand the territory."
Gan Ning was really arrogant. I can fight as long as I have soldiers. Give me three thousand cavalry and I can move unhindered in Jingzhou and Jiangdong. Give me ten thousand naval troops and I can dominate the waters. Give me thirty thousand infantry and I can help you expand your territory. It all depends on how you use me.
"Xingba!" Su Fei tugged at Gan Ning. They were defeated generals, not honored guests. If Lü Bu was unhappy with such arrogant words, it would be hard to predict whether they would live or die.
"Hmph, what an arrogant tone!" Gan Ning's words made the equally arrogant Zang Ba unhappy. "A defeated general dares to speak of bravery?!"
"A defeated general has never lost to a trash like Xu Zhi!" Gan Ning replied, not to be outdone.
"You!" Zang Ba was furious. He wanted to jump out and cause trouble for Gan Ning.
"My brother Xingba speaks without thinking. Please forgive him, my lord!" Su Fei did not want Gan Ning to offend Lü Bu and his subordinates. They had betrayed Huang Zu and could no longer stay in Jiang Xia. If they offended Lü Bu, they would be finished.
"Forgive?!" Lü Bu laughed. "What crime?!" Lü Bu waved his hand and dismissed Zang Ba. Lü Bu liked this kind of arrogant people. He was not afraid of them being arrogant, but he was afraid that they did not have the ability. Zang Ba was also arrogant. When Tao Qian and Liu Bei were still around, he was able to rule over Jiang Xia. However, when he met Lü Bu, he was much more obedient.
This Gan Ning Xingba in front of him was also an arrogant person. Lü Bu could tell that Gan Ning had already entered the Spirit Refinement Stage. His martial arts were even better than Zhang Liao. He was almost on par with Zang Ba.
A first-rate general! If he was as good as Gan Ning said, then he was a great talent, a great general!
Huang Zu did not know how to use people. Such a talented person was only a small general!
"I can't give you three thousand cavalry! I can't give you ten thousand navy soldiers! Thirty thousand infantry? Hehe, my entire army does not even add up to thirty thousand soldiers! "
The more Lü Bu said, the more Gan Ning's heart sank. Could it be that betraying Huang Zu and joining Lü Bu was also a mistake? Could it be that there was no one in this world who could use me, Gan Ning?
"However!" Lü Bu changed the topic. "I can give you the opportunity to lead your own army!"
"What?!" At the end of the road, there was a glimmer of hope! Gan Ning's eyes lit up. He had been a general for a long time. Although Su Fei had taken care of him, he had never been able to lead his own army. He had never been able to display his talents as a Gan Ning.
Now, Lü Bu actually said that he could lead his own army. He had just been demoted to a Lvbu's army. "Thank you, Milord! Thank you, Milord!" Gan Ning was so excited that he could not speak coherently. However, Gan Ning could not be blamed.
If he counted carefully, Lü Bu could be considered his fourth master.
His first master was Liu Biao. At that time, Gan Ning was a pirate and listened to Liu Biao's reputation. However, Liu Biao did not use Gan Ning because of his reputation.
Later, Gan Ning left Liu Biao and relied on Liu Zhang. He thought that a fine bird would choose a good tree to nest in and he would be able to find a good master. Who knew that Liu Zhang was also a person who did not recognize talent and made Gan Ning a small guard at the city gate.
Later, the war between Liu Biao and Liu Zhang made Gan Ning join Liu Biao's army once again.
Because of his past, Liu Biao simply threw Gan Ning to Jiang Xia. Huang Zu was originally a suspicious person and was also a landowning household. Therefore, it was even more impossible for him to use Gan Ning.
Now, Lü Bu, the lord he had just surrendered to, actually wanted to give him the opportunity to lead an army. How could Gan Ning not be excited?
"Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Hanyang. He was the one who recommended you to me!" Lü Bu pointed at Liu Mang. If it was not for Liu Mang's recommendation, Lü Bu would not immediately put Gan Ning in an important position. A small military major was not worthy of Lü Bu to open an army for him, even if this military major had already entered the spirit refining realm.
"Ah ah ah!" Gan Ning looked at Liu Mang with a face full of gratitude. This made Liu Mang feel very embarrassed.
Gan Ning ah, Jiangdong's number one fierce general, an existence that could contend against Liu, Guan and Zhang. If he did not use him, then his brain would be fried!
