Su Fei looked at Han Xuan in shock and asked in disbelief, "Are you really willing to let me go?" ”

Han Xuan nodded, and Wei Yan dissuaded: "Lord, let him go, he will definitely return to Huang Zu and continue to be our enemy!" ”

Han Xuan asked the soldiers to untie Su Fei and let him leave, and Su Fei rode on his horse and quickly ran to the river to find the ferry.

Gan Ning looked at Han Xuan gratefully: "Thank you, lord!" Gan would rather swear allegiance to the lord to the death. ”

Liu Biao was shocked to learn the news of Wang Wei's defeat and death, and sent his nephew Liu Pan to lead 8,000 elite soldiers to Jiangxia to help Huang Zu defend Jiangbei. Liu Pan is brave, and the navy under his command is also elite, Han Xuan's army suffers from no warship, and every time he crosses the river, he is beaten back by Liu Pan's navy.

After Su Fei went back, he assisted Huang Zu to stick to Xiling, although Han Xuan had newly harvested Gan Ning, it was difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, and Gan Ning could not win without a warship.

At this moment, Han Xuan received a piece of bad news. Nanyang Yuan Shu collected the remnants of the Montenegrin army and the Southern Xiongnu Yu Fuluo as his help, marched to Chenliu, and prepared to attack Cao Cao in the northwest of Yanzhou. Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo and Yuan Shu sent Liu Xiang's troops out of Kuangting, engaged Cao Cao, and were defeated by Cao Cao's army.

Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, entered Nanyang again and cut off Yuan Shu's grain road. Yuan Shu's army was disheartened, Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's army collapsed without a fight, Cao Cao waved his army to pursue, and defeated Yuan Shu in Xiangyi and Ningling. Yuan Shu retreated in successive defeats and went to the Huaishui Valley of Jiujiang County. After Cao Cao relieved Yuan Shu's threat to Yanzhou, he no longer marched into the army.

Han Xuan shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect Yuan Shu to be defeated so quickly, what a paper tiger. In this way, Liu Biao can free up his hands to deal with him and Liu Du, there are still a lot of capable people under Liu Biao's command, and there are tens of thousands of troops, which is a hard bone! I don't know what happened to Liu Du.

Liu Du led an army of nearly 10,000 from Wuling to attack Jiangling, the seat of Nanjun Zhi, and like Han Xuan, he was repeatedly defeated by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun because of the failure of the naval army.

Liu Biao's general Huo Du led elite troops to attack Liu Du's army grain road, and Liu Du had to withdraw his troops. When Liu Du led his army to retreat to Xiaoling, he thought that Huo Du would not dare to pursue, but he saw a young general of Liu Biaojun, dressed in iron armor and holding a sword, leading an elite army to rush to kill.

Liu Du thought it was someone, but he didn't expect it to be Huo Du's younger brother Huo Jun, who was only fifteen years old. Liu Du saw that he was careless at a young age, and was defeated by Huo Jun, and Liu Du led the defeated army to retreat to Linyuan.

Huo Jun is a military general who is seriously underestimated by the romance, in history Liu Bei entered Jiameng, preparing to return to the army to attack Liu Zhang in the south, leaving Huo Jun to guard Jiameng City. When Zhang Lu learned about it, he sent Yang Bo to lure Huo Jun to defend the city together in an attempt to capture Jia Meng, Huo Jun knew that there was a deception, and said to Yang Bo: "You can get my head, but you can't get this city." Yang Bo had no choice but to retreat.

Later, Liu Zhang sent more than 10,000 people to lead more than 10,000 people to Langshui, and Jiameng City was the only base of Liu Bei in Shu at that time, and it was Liu Bei's rear. Huo Jun still doesn't know why Liu Bei didn't go to the rescue for a year, maybe he believed him.

Huo Jun led the soldiers to hold on for a year, but Liu Zhang's army failed to capture it, in fact, there were only hundreds of Huo Jun soldiers in Jiameng City! Huo Jun took advantage of the other party's fatigue to select the elite, waited for the opportunity to attack, broke Liu Zhang's army, and took the opportunity to behead Xiang Cun.

After Liu Bei pacified Shuzhong, he rewarded Huo Jun for his merits and appointed him as the Taishou and General of Zitong. Zitong County included almost all the important passes in the northern part of Yizhou, and was jointly responsible for the defense of the north with Zhang Fei, who was the Brazilian Taishou at the time. It can be seen that Liu Bei attaches great importance to Huo Jun.

When the news of Liu Du's defeat came, Han Xuan's brows tightened, it seemed that Liu Biao was not so easy to deal with. If it dragged on like this, he would be defeated, so Han Xuan ordered the withdrawal of the army. Han Xuan learned from the pain and was determined to vigorously develop the navy after he returned, and Gan Ning was the best candidate for the governor of the navy.

After Han Xuan returned to Changsha, Du Xi comforted: "My lord, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. The lord should work hard to fight again. ”

Han Xuan sighed and said: "I regret not listening to what Zixu said, Liu Jingsheng won the hearts of the people of Jingzhou, and rashly attacked him and suffered from it." ”

Du Xun had always persuaded Han Xuan to unite with Liu Biao and not attack, but Han Xuan did not listen to him. Han Xuan asked Du Xun to lead people to build a dock on the Miluo River, and Huang Ergou to lead people to build warships.

Gan Ning said to Han Xuan: "I still have hundreds of brothers still at Liu Biao's place, and they are all good at water warfare. Please let me go and fetch them back. ”

Wei Yan squinted at Gan Ning, leaned over and said to Han Xuan, "Lord, beware of this person who never returns." ”

Han Xuan waved his hand and said, "Suspicious people don't need to be suspicious." Xingba is a man of his word, and since he has returned to me, he will never say goodbye. Moreover, he betrayed Liu Biao, and Liu Biao probably couldn't tolerate him. ”

Han Xuan told Gan Ning to be careful, go and come back quickly. Gan Ning thanked him and went down. Han Xuan and Chen Wu personally inspected the shipyard of the dock, and the craftsmen had already drawn the drawings, and Chen Wu discussed with them the power of these ships. Ancient warships mainly relied on manpower and rowed forward.

The main warship of the Han Dynasty naval army was still Mong, which was narrow and long in appearance and fast in speed, and was specially used to surprise enemy ships. It has three major advantages, one of which is that it is covered with raw cowhide, which has good defensive performance. Second, it has the ability to attack and return enemy ships by opening the crossbow window and spear holes. Third, it is powered by oars and has the performance of fast sailing.

Then there is the fighting ship, which is a kind of well-equipped warship in ancient times, with a female wall on the ship, which can be three feet high, and the hole is opened under the ship. The inside of the ship was five feet, and a shed was built, which was level with the women's wall. A women's wall was built on the shed, and the soldiers were re-arranged. Tree flags, flags, and golden drums on the front and back. There is a female wall on the side, the hole is opened on the side of the ship under the wall, there is a shed on the deck, and there is a female wall on the shed, there is no covering on the shed, and the golden drum of the flag is erected on the front and back, which is used to command the battle, and can be strong. There are holes for inserting oars on both sides of the ship, and there are female walls around the ship, and there are arrow holes in the female walls to attack the enemy. On the raised platform at the stern of the boat, soldiers are responsible for observing the surface of the water.

Offensive, this kind of boat is exposed outside, people are inside, it has relatively complete protection facilities, mainly used to attack enemy ships.

There were also scout boats, which had cabins for reconnaissance of the enemy.

This kind of boat chooses brave and elite soldiers to paddle, and it is like a flying gull to and fro, taking advantage of people's reach to attack.

Finally, there is the building ship, which is generally divided into three floors, and the first floor is the house; the second floor is the flying house; The top floor is the knight's room. Each floor is equipped with a protective female wall to defend against bows, arrows, and arrows fired by the enemy. There are arrow holes in the female wall that are used to fire bows and crossbows. In order to defend against enemy fire, the ship was covered with leather to insulate the heat. Flags and knives and guns are often planted on the building ship to enhance its momentum, and a variety of equipment such as ropes, oars, sails and poles are used to improve its function.

It is named because the ship is high and wide, and its appearance looks like a building. It can carry thousands of soldiers and is the main force of water warfare. However, because the ship is too high, the center of gravity is often unstable, and it is not suitable for long-distance sailing. At this time, Chen Wu, as a science and engineering man, played a great role, and he proposed many methods to stabilize the center of gravity to the craftsmen.

Han Xuan and Chen Wu looked at the building ship on the drawings and exclaimed, this can be called an ancient aircraft carrier! Han Xuan: The siege equipment they built before was an assembly line operation with high production efficiency. The assembly line was introduced into shipbuilding, and it was believed that it would not be long before they could build a building ship, Han Xuan spent a lot of money to recruit shipbuilding craftsmen, and the whole Changsha was busy for shipbuilding.

Han Xuan sent an envoy to negotiate peace with Liu Biao, and the two sides made a truce. Han Xuan learned that Liu Du also sent people to negotiate peace, and after Liu Du returned, he was also stepping up the construction of warships and training the navy. Soon Gan Ning came back with hundreds of subordinates, and Han Xuan appointed Gan Ning as the captain of the navy, and allocated 1,000 soldiers with better water skills to Gan Ning, so that he could step up the training of the first batch of sailors.
