Chapter 225

Gan Ning had not yet gone to defect to Liu Biao or Huang Zu.

Instead, he had come to Hanzhong.

Gu Yi naturally had to find a way to bring him into his fold.

What's more.

Among the many generals of Dong Zhuo's army, there were countless commanders skilled in cavalry and infantry tactics.

But when it came to those skilled in naval warfare, there was not a single one.

In the future, if they were to attack Jingnan and Jiangdong, without an army skilled in naval warfare, the speed of the advance would be severely restricted.

Have you not seen in history that even someone as formidable as Boss Cao was still plagued by the lack of a navy before the Battle of Red Cliffs?

To put it bluntly, fighting on the Yangtze River.

It is not about how strong your cavalry and infantry capabilities are.

It is about the strength of your navy.

The arrival of Gan Ning perfectly filled this gap in the shortage of naval commanders.

Thus, after exchanging pleasantries with Gan Ning.

Gu Yi immediately began to paint a grand picture:

"Gan Xingba, I know you have the desire to leave your name in history and become famous throughout the world!"

"Right now, there is an excellent opportunity before you; I wonder if you can seize it?"

Hearing this, Gan Ning hurriedly asked:

"I wonder what you are referring to, sir...?"

"You must know that our army does not lack cavalry and infantry generals skilled in land warfare."

"But in terms of naval warfare, we are extremely unskilled."

"Throughout the entire army, there is not a single person proficient in water."

"I intend to appoint you as the future Viceroy of our army's navy; I wonder if you have the ability to accept this appointment?"

"Bang!"

Even with Gan Ning's composure, he was instantly left dizzy by this massive promise.

Damn it!

Viceroy of the Navy!

What kind of concept is this?

It is equivalent to saying that in the future Dong Zhuo army navy, Gan Ning would become the number one leader!

If it were any other warlord, Gan Ning might have scoffed at it.

But who is Dong Zhuo?

The undisputed strongest warlord in the world!

He also possesses the great banner of the Han imperial court in his hands.

Looking at the world, Dong Zhuo is currently the person most likely to achieve hegemony.

The gold content of being the Viceroy of Dong Zhuo's navy is not just ordinary!

A scholar dies for one who appreciates him.

Upon their first meeting, Gu Yi was able to entrust Gan Ning with such a heavy responsibility.

Although the Dong Zhuo army navy at this moment did not even have a prototype.

But regardless, this recognition of Gan Ning's ability instantly filled him with goodwill toward Gu Yi.

He immediately decided to accept Gu Yi's appointment and contribute to the great cause of building the Dong Zhuo army's navy.

And at the same time.

Gan Ning's arrival also brought another timely piece of news!

If not for this news.

It is truly possible that the frontline Jiameng Pass could have been captured by Zhang Ren leading twenty thousand Shu troops!
