Chapter 511 The Talent of a General

The Luoshui in the northern suburbs of Luoyang can be said to be in full swing. Xun You was ordered to supervise the construction of Xuanwu Pool here, and Liu Ye, who was born in Huainan, was responsible for assisting and temporarily leading the Huainan Water Bandits and others who came to vote.

"kill!"

"Look at me!"

In the Xuanwu Pool, more than a dozen small boats were practicing exercises, the walking boats collided with each other, and the sailors on the deck were hacking at each other with wooden knives in their hands. From time to time, some sailors were hacked by others In the water, but because it was a wooden knife, there was no injury at all. Soon after, he jumped out of the water and continued to fight.

"Hey, get down!"

Walking on the boat, a young man with shirtless arms and bare feet showing his naked body suddenly jumped out with a wooden knife in his hand, like a shark jumping out of the water.

With a loud shout, he jumped up suddenly, and the wooden knife in his hand fell from the sky, and slashed fiercely at the body of another water thief.

"Boy Ding is going crazy, I'm here to catch you."

A nearby boat broke through the water, and a strong man with a bearded face shouted loudly and jumped up from the boat, causing the bow of the boat to sink immediately, and the whole person fell down like a flying dragon in the sky. Swift.

This saber was powerful and heavy, that "Boy Ding" was happy and fearless, raised his saber to resist, clanging and clanging with the bearded man for more than 20 rounds, shouted suddenly, and finally chopped him into the water.

"good."

Liu Ye stared at him, and asked Liu Ye: "Zi Yang, who is this, he is very good at swimming."

Liu Ye introduced: "General, this man's name is Ding Feng, he is a Lujiang water thief. He came here after he heard about the general's conquest order."

"Tell him to come over." Liu Ye smiled.

"No." Liu Ye said to Ding Feng, "Ding Feng, come quickly."

"Here we come, Mr. Ziyang."

After fighting hard, Ding Feng was out of breath, and when he heard Liu Ye's voice, he immediately jumped into the water from the boat, then slapped the water surface with both arms, and swam over directly.

"Mr. Ziyang, what are you summoning for?" Ding Feng just crawled out of the water, with water droplets rolling on his body, revealing his vigor.

"You are Ding Feng?" Liu Ye said with a smile.

"So-and-so is Ding Feng, who are you?" Ding Feng slightly raised his head.

Liu Ye frowned: "Boy Ding, don't be rude, this is the one"

"Zi Yang." Liu Ye raised his hand to signal Liu Ye not to say more, and then said: "As long as you beat this general in fists and kicks, this general will seal you as Captain Hengjiang, how about it?"

Ding Feng's eyes showed joy, and he was eager to try: "Is this true?"

Liu Ye nodded: "That's right, but I think you've exhausted a lot of energy from the intense water battle just now, how about taking a break?"

"Hey, there's no need, just watch the general!"

Ding Feng smiled, and suddenly punched Liu Ye straight to the chest.

"Good boy!"

Liu Ye laughed, and immediately stretched out his hand to block it. At the same time, he performed the "reverse grip" joint technique in Bajiquan, and grasped Ding Feng's elbow with his five fingers forming claws, grasping Ding Feng's numb acupoint.

"Hmm!" Ding Feng felt as if his whole arm was electrified, and suddenly went numb. Still not reconciled, Ding Feng clenched his teeth, turned his other hand into a fist, and hit Liu Ye.

With a smile on his face, Liu Ye let go of Ding Feng's numbness, and pushed with his backhand. Ding Feng only felt an irresistible force, like a mountain pushing across, and was directly knocked into the water, bursting out with a plop. A water flower.

"Pfft!" Not long after, Ding Feng got out of the water again, but he spit out a big mouthful of water and coughed: "Ahem, cough, this general, Ding Feng is convinced, but please tell me your name."

Liu Ye jokingly said, "Why, is it possible that you want to take revenge on purpose?"

"I don't dare to be humble, I just admire it in my heart."

"Haha, my general is Liu Yuqing." Liu Ye laughed loudly.

"What? You are General Liu!"

Ding Feng's expression froze when he heard the words, and then his face showed ecstasy. He rushed forward excitedly and wanted to hold Liu Ye's hands, but he didn't dare.

Liu Ye saw his concerns, so he took Ding Feng's hand directly: "As a general, he has the power to conquer the barbarians and the world's disobedient subjects. In the future, he will definitely form a navy to sweep the south of the Yangtze River and repeat the majesty of our court." .You are proficient in water warfare, as long as you work hard, the court will never be stingy with the position of Marquis."

Ding Feng said excitedly: "Please rest assured, General, Feng will do his best to train the navy for the General."

"Well, have you read military books?"

"Never." Ding Feng shook his head regretfully.

Liu Ye gave some instructions to the guards on the side, and after a while, the guards ran over with a few verses in their hands, and handed them to Liu Ye respectfully.

"This is "Zuo Zhuan". After you take it back, keep it safe and don't throw it away, you know?" Liu Ye urged.

Ding Feng was so excited that he prostrated himself on the ground, solemnly took "Zuo Zhuan" from Liu Ye with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Please rest assured, General, Feng must read carefully."

"Well, from today onwards, you will be Captain Hengjiang, assisting Ziyang in the naval training, you know?"

"promise!"

Ding Feng was very excited, first met Liu Yuqing who was so powerful in the world, now Liu Ye can be regarded as a model warrior in the world. We must know that the system of selecting officials in the Han Dynasty was still the investigation system and the recruitment system. Either the local government recommended talents, or the central government recruited celebrities to enter the court. Most of the people who could enter the court were literati or people from aristocratic families. Unless a high-ranking official joins the army, it is difficult to get promoted.

And Liu Ye came as a white man, and secondly, he served as a general. The general is the head of civil and military officials in the world, with a high status. It is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Ye is now the idol of the poor people in the world.

Moreover, Liu Ye granted himself an official position, which obviously showed his appreciation. In fact, Ding Feng had long thought of abandoning the pirates and joining the army, but he didn't know which side to go to. He heard that many water thieves had defected to Sun Ce. Originally, Ding Feng also had this thought. But as the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. There are not many people in the Jiangdong Army who are proficient in water warfare.

At this moment, Liu Ye's conquest order came as promised, and Ding Feng made up his mind to go north to seek refuge after reading it. Under the command of Liu Ye, the Liangzhou army can be said to be powerful in the world, but the navy has no combat effectiveness, and defecting at this moment is tantamount to sending charcoal in a timely manner.

Among a group of northerners, Ding Feng even had the confidence to compete for the post of naval commander.

"General!" Guan Hai flew over and reported: "There is a person outside the door who wants to see the general."

"Oh? Why does this person want to see this general?" Liu Ye asked curiously.

"This person claims to be proficient in water warfare and is willing to be the captain of the navy."

"What a big tone!" Liu Ye laughed.
