Chapter 546 Heading North to White Horse

"Haha, although Xingba has made great achievements, after all, you know his past background, and Zhou Mu doesn't like him very much. If I am entrusted with an important position, it will not be easy to explain."

Gan Ning walked out of the Jiangxia Governor's Mansion angrily without looking back, his bronze face filled with anger.

Huang Zu! Huang Zu! I, Gan Ning, risked my life and killed the enemy general. How can you break your word?

Gan Ning was furious and thought that since he would not be reused in Jiangxia anyway, and would instead suffer the arrogance of the old thief Huang Zu, he might as well resign.

After Su Fei heard about Gan Ning's complaints, he hurried to Gan Ning's home in person.

"Xingba, I heard that you are going to abandon your official position and leave?" Su Fei said hurriedly.

"It turns out to be Brother Su, you came just in time." Seeing Su Fei coming over, Gan Ning handed a letter to Su Fei expressionlessly.

Su Fei was puzzled: "What is this?"

"Brother Su, please send this letter to Governor Huang on behalf of Gan." Gan Ning said coldly: "Since Governor Huang doesn't want to appoint Gan, what is Gan doing here?"

"Alas!" Su Fei sighed: "What Huang Du did this time was really unkind, but Xingba doesn't have to be like this."

Gan Ning said expressionlessly: "Huang Du was unwilling to appoint Gan to an official position, and I shot Ling Cao. Now there is no place for Gan in Jiangdong and Jingzhou. If Gan does not return to his old career, Luocao will So what if I’m a bandit?”

Su Fei smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "You and I will come in and talk in detail."

Seeing Su Fei's mysterious look, Gan Ning raised his eyebrows and led Su Fei inside.

"Xingba, you are really confused." Su Fei smiled and said, "Although you are proficient in water warfare, why do you have to defect to Jingzhou or Jiangdong?"

Gan Ning frowned and said, "If not, where can I use my skills?"

"How can the icing on the cake be as good as providing help in times of need?" Su Fei smiled slightly: "Jiangdong and Jingzhou are not the only ones in need of naval forces now. You have to take a longer-term view."

Gan Ning seemed to understand something: "You mean, Liangzhou Army?"

"Not bad." Su Fei admired: "Now that the imperial court is recruiting naval warriors to go north with the ability to achieve hegemony, isn't the post of Navy Commander already within reach?"

"But?" Gan Ning asked worriedly: "Can the imperial court accommodate certain subordinates?"

Huang Zu looked down upon Gan Ning's status as a Jinfan thief, so Gan Ning was a little worried.

"Well, the general employs people in an eclectic way. His subordinates Yu Jin, Zhang Zha, Xu Huang and others all come from poor families." Su Fei comforted him, "If Xing Ba goes north, he will surely be reused by the imperial court."

On the Yellow River, a fleet of hundreds of boats and boats moved slowly, gradually approaching the north bank. It was the Luoyang Navy led by Gao Chong.

"General, the White Horse Port is ahead." Gao Chong stepped forward and reported to Liu Ye.

"Yes." Liu Ye nodded and said, "After we land in Baima later and send our soldiers ashore, Bo'an will not only control Baima, but also capture other Hebei ports such as Yanjin. Do you understand?"

Gao Chong cupped his fists and said, "General, please rest assured, Gao Chong will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"

In Baima, hundreds of Yuan's troops were bored, and there was always no defense on the Yellow River crossing. The army in Hebei was mainly engaged in the campaign, so the navy was not of use at all, so Yuan Shao did not put his mind on the construction of the navy.

"Sima, Sima!"

Sima Yuan Jun, who was stationed at Baima, frowned and said impatiently: "What's the fuss about? It's so noisy."

"Sima!" A sergeant Yuan rushed in in panic, panting: "Oh no, there are hundreds of warships coming towards Baima Port."

"Hundreds of warships?" Army Sima was stunned: "Isn't it possible?"

"You'll know when you come out and take a look."

Army Sima walked out of the barracks in disbelief, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and his body remained motionless.

On the water outside the port, countless naval warships can be seen running rampant on the Yellow River. Their flags cover the sky and the sun. The sound of rumbling war drums and passionate horns resounds throughout the Yellow River. The calmness of Baima Port is instantly shattered. Broken.

The hundreds of Yuan troops stationed at Baima Port had never seen such a large naval fleet. At this moment, their hearts were completely filled with an emotion called shock, and they were all stunned for a moment.

On the naval battleships, there were calls to persuade them to surrender.

"Everyone in Baima Port, listen, we are the Imperial Navy's Luoyang Navy! You must surrender immediately and surrender Baima Port, otherwise you will be killed!"

Yuan Jun in Baima Port has not yet reacted and is still in a daze.

Zhu Huan stepped forward and asked for instructions: "Commander, the enemy has not surrendered yet, how should our army treat it?"

"Hmph, you are so stubborn!" Gao Chong looked sternly and ordered: "Xiu Mu, order our soldiers to fire thousands of arrows and teach them a lesson."

"No!" Zhu Huan turned around and ordered: "The governor has an order, and all arrows are to be fired."

After hearing the order, dozens of warships surrounding Baima Port immediately drew their bows and arrows, aiming at Baima Port and firing a series of shots.

Whoosh whoosh!

Thousands of arrows fell immediately, covering almost the entire Baima Port. Dozens of Yuan's soldiers were immediately shot into a sieve, and each of them was hit by at least seven or eight arrows.

"ah!"

"No, the enemy's arrows are too fierce."

"Hurry and take shelter in the barracks!"

The arrows on the naval battleships were endless, and the small White Horse Harbor was suddenly filled with arrows.

"Sima, no, the enemy's offensive is too fierce. Let's surrender."

Sima nodded helplessly and shouted loudly: "Stop shooting, we surrender, we surrender!"

"Captain, the enemy has surrendered."

Gao Chong nodded: "Well, stop shooting and order the enemy troops to withdraw from Baima Port immediately and wait aside."

Under the intensive covering attack of the Luoyang Navy, the Yuan Army in Baima Port could not bear it at all, and had no choice but to surrender. However, in this short period of time, more than half of the Yuan Army in Baima Port had been killed or wounded. After the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Army withdrew from Baima Port, the Luoyang Navy successfully entered Baima Port and released more than 40,000 Liangzhou troops.

Liu Ye led his army to land at Baima Port and successfully bypassed Xingxingkou. At the same time, Yuan Shao did not know about it. After Liu Ye landed, he immediately issued two orders: Ma Chao led five thousand cavalry to forcibly attack Huguan from behind, quickly cut Bingzhou and Jizhou into two parts, and prevented Jizhou from sending reinforcements to Bingzhou; after Gao Chong occupied Baima Port, he continued to occupy Yanjin Port completely controls the Yellow River and transports grain and grass from Luoyang to reduce logistical pressure.

After many years of absence, Liu Ye finally set foot on the land of Hebei again.
