Chapter 51 The water army is a big problem

After working for a few days, the first batch of graduates were finally arranged for employment. As for how to relocate next year's graduates, it depends on the performance of this batch. After the matter of Xuzhou College came to an end, Zhao Feng began to propose the next stage of development plan to Liu Bei.

"Fuck the water army?" Liu Bei was also a little stunned when he heard Zhao Feng's suggestion, but then he remembered that Zhao Feng had mentioned this to him more than once.

"Yes, Lord. Although we are at peace with Jiangdong at present, it is because Jiangdong is busy pacing Jiaozhou. When Jiangdong is busy and settled down, I'm afraid there will be a battle with us sooner or later. Zhao Feng said frankly. Liu Bei thought about it carefully and thought about Sun Ce's person, and he also felt that this was very likely.

"In that case, who will practice this water army?" Liu Bei looked at the generals and asked. I didn't expect that as soon as everyone heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them stood up for a while.

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was also a little speechless, but on second thought, all the people under Liu Bei's account were basically from the north. I'm afraid there were not many people who could swim, and it was even more difficult to train the navy. I remember that in history, Liu Bei's navy was trained by Guan Yu during the Battle of Chibi, but that was the result of Guan Yu's seven years in Jingzhou. Now Guan Yu is a herdsman in Yuzhou. Even if he wants to train a sailor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize him to take special responsibility.

As for other people, let alone. Even Zhao Feng himself can barely swim. If he wants to train the navy, Zhao Feng asked himself if he didn't have that ability.

Just when Zhao Feng was a little depressed, Lu Su said, "Lord, I'm willing to train the water army."

"Oh? Does Zi Jing know the method of training for the water army? When Liu Bei saw that Lu Su was willing to take action, his head, which had begun to gradually hurt, suddenly eased a lot. Zhao Feng suddenly saw Lu Su: I almost forgot that this brother was the governor of Eastern Wu in history. How could he train the water army?

Sure enough, Lu Su replied, "Su has lived in Xia Pi for a long time. In the past, he has studied Jiangdong and Jingxiang sailors, and he has seen Zhou Yu's Jiangdong Shuizhai with his own eyes. Although Su asked himself that the training of the water army was not as good as him, it must not be too far away. As always, keep a low profile and be cautious. However, Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words. He knew that Lu Su dared to say this, so he was very sure.

So Liu Bei immediately ordered to appoint Lu Su as the governor of the Xuzhou navy and make every effort to build the Xuzhou navy. Zijing, are you going to set up a water village there? Liu Bei asked first after the appointment.

Lu Su looked at the map of Xuzhou, and finally pointed to one place and said, "It's in this Huaihe River!" Zhao Feng looked at the map and opened his mouth without saying anything. Originally, he hoped that the water village would be built in Hongze Lake, but now Hongze Lake is still a small pold. Historically, Hongze Lake was formed in the Song Dynasty because of the reversion of Surabaru. Compared with the fourth largest freshwater lake in the country, it is simply not an order of magnitude.

As for several other large lakes, Dongting Lake is in Jingzhou, and Poyang Lake and Taihu Lake are in Jiangdong. The remaining Chaohu is bordering Shouchun, but it happens to be stuck between Shouchun and Lujiang. If he trains the water army there, he will basically brazenly call Sun Ce on the opposite side to come and beat himself. Unfortunately, why didn't Lujiang come over at the beginning of the negotiation? Zhao Feng regretted it.

There is no medicine for regret in the world. In any case, the Xuzhou Water Army has started to practice like this. Under the auspices of Lu Su, the water village was first established. In recent years, Zhao Feng has been following Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for a long time, and he has also learned this method of camping. However, the water village is obviously different from the land barracks. The waterways in it are vertical and horizontal, so the ranks of the army are also very different. As for these waterways, they are basically transformed by Lusu on the original basis according to local conditions after referring to the hydrological characteristics on both sides of the Huaihe River.

"Wonderful! Brother Zijing, you can be regarded as a world water war. Brother is out of reach!" Zhao Feng followed Lu Su back and forth in the water village with a boat, and immediately felt that he was almost dizzy.

"Hehe, Bo Tao is flattered!" Lu Su stroked his goatee and smiled slightly. At this time, the water village has just been established, which can only be regarded as the first scale. After all, digging a river is not an easy job. Even if it is processed on the original basis, it will take several months. Even so, Zhao Feng, a layman, has been a little dizzy.

At this time, Liu Bei came again. Zhao Feng and Lu Su opened it and took a look. It turned out that it was Guan Yu who dialed Xu Sheng, the governor of Yiyang, and came to Shuizhai to help Lu Su with Cao, a soldier from Yuzhou. Only then did Zhao Feng remember that there was also a person named Wen Ping. At least he was known as the first general in Jingzhou. How could he know how to practice the water army? I remember that in history, Cao Yan sent him to intercept Huang Gai's fireboat, but he was almost shot to death by the latter with an arrow. As for Xu Sheng, he is also a general of the Eastern Wu Water Army in history. Even if he is still young now, he should know some.

Lu Su + Xu Sheng + Wenpin, this is the full lineup of Xuzhou Marine Division now. There are still few people!" Zhao Feng looked left and right at these three brothers, and they all looked a little thin. Fortunately, the combination of the three people is a tacit understanding. Lu Su is responsible for building the water village and dispatching in the middle, and Wen Ping and Xu Sheng are training the army. Liu Bei, the first batch of Xuzhou navy, only arranged 5,000 people. After all, there are not many people in the army now. Next, the second batch will not be able to enter the battle until they are familiar with the water name. However, Zhao Feng doesn't want to wait like this. Since there are few people, let's bring some people over. At present, Zhao Feng sent dozens of detailed works to the Yangtze River to inquire about the details of Gan Ning's group. Of course, Gan Ning is brave in the battle, but Lu Su still needs to do these things in the middle.

"Ah, Zijing, why are our navy boats now? Why don't we build big boats?" Zhao Feng looked at it for a few days and suddenly found that the ships of the Xuzhou navy were small boats that could only accommodate dozens of people at most, but none of them were larger.

"The boat is more bumpy than the big boat, so use the boat to train the soldiers' ability to sail first. Moreover, it takes a long time to build a big ship. At present, we don't have many craftsmen, and we have only built more than a hundred boats. Lu Su explained, and then looked at the conversation that no one around him paid attention to them. He lowered his voice and said in Zhao Feng's ear, "It takes skilled boatmen to build a big ship. There are almost no boatmen in Xuzhou, so it can't be built now."

"Is it like this?" Zhao Feng was also shocked when he heard the words, but seeing that Lu Su did not mean to joke, he immediately understood that the matter was a little serious. At present, he also lowered his voice and asked, "How can such a boatman be recruited?"

"Generally, Jiangdong or Jingxiang have it, but this shipbuilding skill is owned by the family, and it is not easy to tell outsiders. At present, Jiangdong belongs to Sun Ce. With his great talent, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to find people there. Only Jingxiang can figure it out!" Lu Su is also a little uncertain.

"That's the only way!" Zhao Feng knew that Lu Su knew these things more clearly than himself. He said so, and he must have no better way. But at this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly flashed in his mind. He seemed to catch something, but he couldn't figure it out. There was only a vague shadow.

"It's strange. What on earth do you think of?" Zhao Feng was so dizzy all morning until he said goodbye to Lu Su and returned to Pengcheng's home. He was still in a trance.

"Husband, thank you for your hard work!" Diao Chan took the armor and robe taken off by Zhao Feng and handed it to the maid beside her. Then looking at his distraught appearance, he couldn't help comforting him and said, "Is there something bothering you, husband?"

"I can't call it annoying. It seems that there is a very important thing, but I can't remember it!" Zhao Feng frowned and said.

"If you can't remember it, don't think about it first. Sometimes you may remember it again?" Diao Chan smiled when he heard the words. Zhao Feng had no choice but to do so for a while. However, he is sure that this must be a very important thing, but it has been too long to remember clearly.

At this time, the servant delivered dinner, and Zhao Feng also had dinner first. During the banquet, he talked with Diao Chan about some recent things, but after listening to a few words, Zhao Feng found that Diao Chan was more concerned about the matter between himself and Zhen Jiang, but did not directly question. At that moment, he also had a sense of teasing and deliberately asked, "Why, madam is also more interested in this Miss Zhen?"

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Summit asked so bluntly, Diao Chan was at a loss, but then he still said honestly, "Actually, if you really like her, you might as well propose marriage to the Zhen family. With the reputation of my husband today, the Zhen family will not refuse.

"Thank you, madam, for being so generous!" Zhao Feng really smiled bitterly this time. Because of anything else, it was the day before yesterday that he had learned from the little Lori Zhen Mi that Zhen Jiang had already been betrothed with Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan. Zhao Feng remembers that it was Zhen Mi who married Yuan Xi, but now Zhen Jiang wants to marry Yuan Tan? After thinking about it, it seems that it can only explain the butterfly effect after saving Zhen Jiang.

"I worked hard to save her, but she was someone else's wife!" Zhao Feng didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. On a thought of it, even if he didn't promise him, he couldn't die. Up to now, in addition to a wry smile, Zhao Feng can only sigh that he has made a fool of people.

After a fierce battle with Diao Chan as usual that night, Zhao Feng fell asleep tiredly. As a result, when he got up early the next morning, Zhao Feng shook his heavy head and suddenly remembered what he had been thinking about.

After eating something in a hurry, Zhao Feng rushed to the Xuzhou military water village by the Huai River. As soon as he entered the water village, Zhao Feng immediately found Lu Su, who was commanding the construction of the water village, and asked directly, "Zi Jing, do you know that the Lu family in Jiangdong can build the big ship needed by the water army?"
