Gan Ning, with a subordinate and three horses each, galloped all the way back to where they had docked their boat, then dragged it out from the reeds. He looked at the nearly thousand horses under his charge and felt conflicted, as they couldn't all be taken along!
"Gan Lan, see if you can find any water bandits—I, as the boss, need to levy some boats." Gan Ning said helplessly, not willing to leave the horses behind.
It must be said that this era had its advantages: there were mountain bandits in the hills, horse thieves on the grasslands, robbers on the roads, and naturally, river bandits in the rivers. Gan Lan didn't take long to find a gang of river bandits, and under Gan Ning's command, they took the ships by force in a night of fire and plunder, finally securing transportation for their horses.
