"Hehe, boss is so cunning!"
Guan Hai's eyes lit up. If the transaction were conducted at sea, even if the other party wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't have the power to do so.
As long as our entire army is mobilized at that time, the enemy will have no chance whatsoever.
Guan Yu glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and pack the supplies to get back. If we wait until dark, we won't dare to go at full speed."
This sea area is still too close to the mainland, and there are reefs in some places, so we still need to be careful.
If we act too recklessly, we might just capsize.
Guan Hai dared not delay and immediately sent people to urge them on. The loading speed of several thousand people was quite fast, and the supplies were loaded in no time.
Just as the warship was about to start, Guan Hai's gaze suddenly sharpened.
The people from Hanhai County actually came to see them off, which left him both amused and exasperated.
Guan Yu sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps this is what my lord meant when he said, 'Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.' The people just want to live!"
"That's true. Of all the bigwigs I've seen, only our lord treats the people the best!" Guan Hai nodded and smiled.
Advancing at full speed, the army quickly returned to the Great Wilderness Island. This operation could even be described as a complete victory, with no casualties whatsoever.
Under such overwhelming power, the team of less than five hundred people was utterly flimsy.
Upon seeing their safe return, several Eastern Wu generals rushed over excitedly, saying, "Prefect, our lord sent a letter saying he has brought us a very capable Chief Clerk!"
My lord!
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes lit up. His lord had actually sent him a very capable chief clerk, which was a powerful ally.
He was currently annoyed by the internal affairs, but unexpectedly, the lord sent it ahead of schedule. This is great news!
He took the letter and read it, and his eyes lit up. His lord actually said that this person had the talent of a prime minister. This was a powerful ally for him!
With this person's help, our naval power will surely increase dramatically.
"How much longer until we arrive?" he asked excitedly.
"Judging by the time, it should be here soon!"
Guan Yu's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "Let's go, let's go welcome the Chief Clerk. We need a capable administrator now, after all, there are just too many things to deal with on the four islands."
"Excellent! My lord is wise!"
Guan Hai couldn't help but feel excited. He breathed a sigh of relief. He, being a rough and uncultured man, had been in charge of managing things, which had exhausted him.
The group arrived at the temporary port and waited. After a while, there was finally some activity.
A warship slowly approached on the vast sea, and then they witnessed something unbelievable that made Guan Hai exclaim.
"How is this possible? This is a warship from Great Ning!"
"That should be correct. It seems our lord gave us twenty Great Ning warships and told us to use them as we see fit," Guan Yu explained.
Twenty Great Ning warships?
Guan Hai's eyes lit up. This was a good thing; it could make it impossible to distinguish friend from foe in a critical moment.
As the warship drew ever closer, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.
The boat soon docked, and a group of people disembarked. Guan Yu, without regard for his status, went directly to greet them.
This person is someone who will solve my problems, not an enemy, so I should treat them well.
" Gu Yong, Chief Administrator of Sea Liang Island, greets Your Excellency the Prefect!"
Upon seeing Guan Yu Gu Yong's eyes lit up, and he spoke respectfully.
He had a very good impression of Guan Yu. This man was clearly no ordinary person, and it was no wonder that his lord had entrusted him with guarding the sea area. He truly had a remarkable presence.
Guan Yu laughed and said, "I am extremely grateful to Chief Clerk Gu for coming to my aid. I am finally relieved."
"Haha, you're too kind, Prefect."
Gu Yong couldn't help but laugh, then pulled Huang Gai over and said with a smile, "Prefect, this is Huang Gai, the naval general under our lord. He is skilled in training naval forces and naval warfare, and was sent by our lord to help us."
"So it's General Huang, greetings!" Guan Yu said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Huang Gai naturally dared not be negligent and quickly bowed.
Upon hearing Huang Gai's expertise, Guan Hai was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Brother Huang looks much older than me. From now on, I'll entrust the naval training to you. I still prefer to fight alongside the general; that's my true calling!"
His original profession was in the Yellow Turban Army, but now he was assigned to train troops, which made him extremely frustrated. Now he can finally be liberated.
Ha ha!
Everyone burst into laughter. This guy was quite open-minded, directly giving up his position as coach.
Gu Yong glanced at everyone and said solemnly, "Prefect, the Lord has entrusted us with full responsibility for the military and political affairs of Sea Liang Island. Please guide me in the future. I am not very good at speaking, so please point out any mistakes I may have made."
"Alright, I like straightforward people! Brother Gu, just call me Yunchang. I don't like being called 'Prefect' all the time!" Guan Yu nodded and laughed.
He likes straightforward people like that, who don't need to go through so many complicated and troublesome things.
It's that simple!
Excellent!
Upon hearing this, Gu Yong's impression of Guan Yu improved greatly; he was indeed a good person.
Straight to the point, without beating around the bush, he nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I'll be troubling Yunchang from now on!"
"We are both serving our lord, so we should do our utmost!" Guan Yu nodded slightly and smiled.
Gu Yong glanced around and suddenly noticed the bustling port in the distance. He paused for a moment, then asked curiously, " Yunchang, judging from the looks of it, you've had a big haul today?"
Wow, look at all those huge boxes they're carrying! They must have made quite a haul.
Guan Yu smiled without saying a word, his expression mysterious.
Guan Hai couldn't sit still any longer and said smugly, "Haha, Chief Clerk, you guessed right this time! Under the leader's guidance, our attack on Daning Hanhai County was a resounding success."
"I see!"
A glint of light flashed in Gu Yong's eyes. He had studied the current situation in the sea area before he came, and it was basically the All Under Heaven that his lord's strength was unparalleled.
In order to alleviate the pressure on the north, it was necessary to carry out large-scale harassment of the Great Ning land. It seems that Guan Yunchang did a good job.
He couldn't help but laugh, " Yunchang is indeed extraordinary. With just one move, he caused Great Ning a significant loss. However, the more of this kind of thing, the better!"
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu chuckled, a rare occurrence. The more the merrier! Ideally, Great Ning would tremble in fear, so he wouldn't dare provoke his lord.
The two had a very pleasant conversation, and Guan Yu did not hesitate to hand over the financial power and some administrative authority to Gu Yong.
He had already sensed Gu Yong's true talent and learning from their previous conversation, and with Gu Yong's help, he could play an even greater role in the future.
Moreover, Huang Gai was also skilled at training naval forces, which greatly excited Guan Yu.
A stronger navy is always better, so that the enemy will tremble with fear.
