However, Liu Biao gave Huang Zu some money and food to provide Huang Zu with the help of Cao's army, Jiangdong army, and the food and grass had arrived. Xu Sheng and others had already retreated. Huang Zu hurriedly sent a letter to Liu Biao to report his merits, saying that he would defeat the Jiangdong army and kill an arrow of Jiangdong Army.

When Liu Biao heard this, he was very happy at first, and then secretly scolded Huang Zu for lying about military affairs to obtain money and food. Since then, he has been more happy with Mrs. Cai and often accept Mrs. Cai's words.

However, Gan Ning wanted to plan a warship, so he paid special attention to Jiangxia. He sent Wang Qi to inquire into Jiangxia several good people, and wanted to know where Huang Zu often was and where the warship was.

Wang Qi was ordered to go. This man was smart and good at using gold and silk to open the way. Therefore, he was able to find out the news and leave several people in Jiangxia City to repay Gan Ning.

Wang Qi reported: "I found that Jiangxia's defense was the same as when we were there. Unless during wartime, warships of all sizes were only used during daily patrols, and were locked in Xiakou docks on weekdays."

Gan Ning frowned. There were 5,000 people garrisoned in Xiakou on weekdays. When Huang Zu was there, the garrisoned troops reached 15,000. Although he had 8,000 troops, only 3,000 people were available. The remaining 5,000 were far from being elite soldiers. If he attacked Xiakou with two thousand people, he would die without a place to bury him!

Gan Ning gritted his teeth, "Gather the soldiers I am optimistic about on weekdays, and say that I invite them to drink at night!"

"No!" Wang Qi went away.

By night, Gan Ning gathered more than 2,000 people, of which the headquarters had about 400 people, and the newly recruited more than 1,600. Gan Ning sent everyone to drink a bowl of wine, "The lord has no warships, I want to take it for you, can you please follow me?"

Everyone said it was OK, and Gan Ning said again: "If this matter fails, we will die and have no place to bury you. If you don't want to, you can go quickly. I have not seen you!"

No one moved, Gan Ning was overjoyed, "You guys have this kind of mind, why worry about the big things not being done!" Drinking with everyone.

On the second day, Gan Ning had finished inquiring, Huang Zu had returned to Jiangxia, and there were 3,000 defenders in Xiakou, and the general was Zhang Hu.

Gan Ning gathered troops and fired more than 2,000 bright sharp knives. Everyone was wearing leather armor. When it was nowhere to be seen at night, two thousand people boarded dozens of boats and floated towards Xiakou.

At night, there was no moon, and everyone bites wooden sticks in their mouths, hides the sharp blade tightly, and quietly touches Xia's mouth.

At that time, the war between Xiakou was about to stop. Huang Zuqing found that there were no enemy troops thirty miles around Xiakou. Therefore, the guard general Zhang Hu relaxed and only released dozens of small boats to patrol.

Gan Ning found out clearly that whenever he went to a place, everyone attacked and killed him. Gan Ning disguised himself as Huang Zujun, and sent those without armor to ambush outside, leading more than 300 people to the dock.

When the patrol soldiers saw the boat return, they opened the gate of the water village and let everyone in. They didn't even ask a secret code. Gan Ning was very happy. God helped me! He secretly entered the dock, and there were hundreds of guards inside. Gan Ning had already secretly ordered everyone to hold a knife in his hand. Everyone surrounded him and slashed and killed him. He only injured more than a dozen people, so he cleaned the dock.

After counting the number, there were only one large ship, and a hundred small boats fell. It turned out that Huang Zu saw the Jiangdong army retreating, and did not want to use Zhang Hu to transport the large ship back to Jiangxia.

Gan Ning sent out a signal, and all the ambushed people came out. Zhang Hu hurriedly led his army to fight and was about to get people to board the boat to chase him. Gan Ning had sent everyone to drive the boat out. Zhang Hu was attacked on both sides, and the village gate was directly smashed to pieces, so he had to retreat. More than two thousand soldiers and horses were in the village and did not dare to move lightly.

Gan Ning returned with great victory, ordered Qi generals, injured dozens of people and lost more than a dozen people. Gan Ning was relieved and returned to the water village to celebrate.

Gan Ning returned to the village and sent a letter to Cao Ang, saying that the warship had been obtained, so he asked Cao Ang to find a master craftsman to build a warship.

At that time, Cao Ang was handling government affairs in Xuzhou. He wanted to wait for Gan Ning to return to Xudu, but he got Gan Ning's letter. He was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to Xudu to invite Ma Jun.

At that time, Mi Zhu had already returned and said that he had already taken his sister, so he thanked Cao Ang again and again.

Although the method of making green salt was sent to Xudu, Cao Cao's jurisdiction only had Xuzhou's land near the sea. Therefore, the production of green salt was still a matter of Xuzhou. Only a few trucks of gold and silk were sent to Cao Cao's warehouse every month.

But Cao Ang said that nothing happened. He thought about the private army supported by Cao Pi and asked about Chen Deng.

Chen Deng had already found out, so he reported: "The leader named He Yi, and his thousand elite troops were able to kill the men who dared to fight. Yuan Tan sent three thousand troops to suppress them, but he did not get anything, but he did not kill hundreds of soldiers."

Cao Ang said: "Can Yuanlong hear He Yi's name?"

Chen Deng said: "It's not there."

Then the matter was discontinued. Cao Ang wanted to wait for Gan Ning to return and handed over the matter to Gan Ning.

A few days later, when Ma Jun arrived, Cao Ang sent a letter to Gan Ning, asking him to return and build a large ship first.

Ma Jun was not good at making ships, but there were pictures of large ships in Jingzhou and Jingzhou warships as samples, so Ma Jun was quite confident.

But people from aristocratic families heard that Baima Academy was established and had four library buildings, each of which was more than ten feet high. They were shocked and asked people to go to investigate and found that it was not a deception, but a real book. They couldn't help but feel panic.

The reason why aristocratic families can become officials is that they can pass on the knowledge and wealth accumulated over the years to their descendants from generation to generation. Even with the efforts of their descendants, the wealth will become thicker and thicker.

Now Cao Ang has established academy, a collection of classics, history, and ancient books and secrets. If you get it for others, wouldn’t it be a pain to destroy your family?

Therefore, all the families gathered in their families and discussed it.

Xun also discussed something. At first, he panicked. Xun Yu comforted him: "Now, my clan has a college established by the eldest son. He has such a good opportunity to read it without taking books, and to understand the wise men, and to be afraid of themselves. Isn't that stupid?"

Someone in the clan said: "It is good to have a thousand books, but this is not the library of our Xun family. In the future, our aristocratic families will become officials, so why don't we fight with the sons of poor families?"

Xun You scolded: "You and others do not want to make progress, but rely on their family as officials. If you are talented and knowledgeable, you can be the chief of the land, how can you not use it?"

Everyone retreated with voluntarily.

There are those in Xun's family who are clear-minded and have a bright eye, but many big clans do not think like this in their minds.

Everyone said, "Cao Cao uses his talents regardless of virtue, but only his ability. This has made many of our descendants unable to become officials. All the powers in every place hold the hands of Cao Cao's confidants. We dare not rebel against it, nor can we rebel against it. Now Cao Ang has established academy, and the poor families in the world will be grateful for their kindness and win people's hearts. If they are used by them in the future, when will we be able to take power? This will increase and the other will decrease, and what will happen to our aristocratic families in the future?"

All families have this idea.

At that time, many big families communicated in private and wanted to join forces to plot against the academy, but for a moment, undercurrents surged.

Cao Ang handed over the guards of the academy to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao handed over the matter to Xu You. Since the war in Wuchao, Xu You surrendered to Cao, and he has not been very resourceful since then. Cao Cao was notorious about his old love and granted him a free position. Xu You heard that there were still vacant things in the academy, so he asked for his own order. One is a position to fight for the reputation of the Qing Dynasty, and the other is thousands of books. Which scholar can not feel itchy?

Cao Cao thought for too long and had no suitable candidate, so he handed over the matter to Xu You, allowing Hou to become the deputy and lead thousands of troops to guard him.
