Lu Su and others learned that Liu Zhang would return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and temporarily handed over the affairs to others to manage, and came to visit him in person.

When asked about the difficulties, Lu Su and Gan Ning said that the Jingdong Theater was newly attached, and it was not appropriate to increase the taxes of the people and make the people centrifuge, so now there is a great shortage of food and wages, in addition, the original Jiangxia and Yuzhang troops are not well equipped, and many soldiers do not even have leather armor, hoping that Liu Zhang can help solve it.

Liu Zhang immediately said that when attacking Zigui, Jiangling and Xiangyang, he had seized a lot of money, and asked Lu Su and Ganning to make a single book of what they needed, and hand them over, and the full favor would solve all of them for them.

Lu Su and Gan Ning immediately took out the booklet that had already been prepared and presented it to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang looked at it, and was slightly surprised in his heart, the two of them needed a total of 100,000 stone of grain, 700,000 pieces of money, 3,000 sets of iron armor, 7,000 leather armor, 5,000 halberds, 5,000 spears, 5,000 bows, 5,000 crossbows, 100,000 arrows, 10,000 Han swords, 5,000 long shields, and 5,000 square shields.

These equipment can be used for almost all the troops in the Jingdong Theater to be redressed, Liu Zhang looked at Lu Su and Gan Ning, handed the list to Man Pet, and after Man Pet read it, he said: "Bo Ning, what Zijing and Xingba need may be provided in full?" ”

Man Chong thought for a while and said, "Back to the lord, you can provide the full amount if you seize it, but ...... Zijing, does the Jingdong Theater need such a big addition? You must know that with these things, almost all the troops in the theater can be reequipped, and these money and food can almost guarantee that the troops in the theater will support them for a year without backup! ”

Lu Su hurriedly said: "My lord, these are not just for strengthening the original Jiangxia and Yuzhang to surrender the army. After continuous battles, our army's armor and weapons have been seriously damaged, and nearly half of the soldiers' equipment needs to be replaced, otherwise it will greatly affect the combat effectiveness, so the petition also includes the replacement of our army. In addition......"

Gan Ning continued: "In addition, the lord ordered the last general to form an elite army similar to the British army and the trapping camp, and after a period of exploration, the last general has already had an eyebrow, so the items needed for this army have also been reported. ”

"Oh!" Liu Zhang nodded, when he decided to send troops to Jingzhou, he proposed to Gan Ning to form an elite army in the navy, so that this force would become the blade of the Yizhou navy, and lead the navy to cut through all obstacles, but at that time, time was pressing, and there was no time to form such a force. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang almost forgot about it, but Gan Ning kept remembering that when Jiangxia was captured, Gan Ning was idle, so he figured it out.

"How much do you think is the right size for this force?" Liu Zhang asked.

"In the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to have five thousand men, including two thousand archers and three thousand halberd soldiers, and the archers are dressed in iron armor and equipped with a sword for melee combat; Euphorbia are equipped with leather armor, and each person needs a shield in addition to a halberd, a crossbow for long-range attacks, and the required crossbow arrows......"

Liu Zhang nodded, and agreed with Gan Ning's idea, in fact, he didn't know whether such a configuration was reasonable, but he felt that Gan Ning could put it forward, and Lu Su must have known it beforehand, and Lu Su did not object, indicating that they had reached a consensus, since Gan Ning and Lu Su confirmed that it was feasible, he did not need to object: "What are you going to call this force?" ”

Gan Ning bowed and said: "The name of the heroic army is given by the lord himself, and this army is also built in the name of the lord, please also give the name of the lord!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "Okay, I'll think about it......" After that, he pondered, and soon, he said: "I heard that when Xingba and Cai Mao confronted the public security, they used the former Jinfan and Jin Ling to order the enemy to mess up, and our soldiers swept away the low tide for days, and their morale was greatly shocked, but is there such a thing?" ”

Gan Ning patted the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, at that time, the layout of the lord had not yet been completed, and our army could not go out of the port to meet the enemy. ”

"Okay, in that case, this army will be called the Jinfan Army! I hope that in the future, when Jinfan comes out, he will be invincible. ”

Gan Ning said excitedly: "Yes...... In the future, the Jinfan Army will definitely become a sharp blade under the command of the lord, sweeping away the heroes and reviving the Han! ”

"When you become an army, you have to tell everyone that the Jinfan Army is a soldier of the Han Dynasty, the backbone of the Han Dynasty, and the patron saint of the people of the Han Dynasty. If anyone ignores the laws of the Han Dynasty, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of my butcher's knife! Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you! Xingba, you are the same, you know? ”

Gan Ning hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, please rest assured, if there is any traitor in the Jinfan Army in the future, the final general will cut himself to thank the lord!" ”

The next day, Liu Zhang led a group of civil and military, Jiangxia gentry, and more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the personal guard battalion to worship the ancestors of the past dynasties.

After staying in Jiangxia for three days, Liu Zhang left Jiangxia and took a boat to Jiangling.

Early that morning, shortly after the flotilla had lifted anchor, it encountered several small fishing boats on the river.

Seeing the huge fleet and the soldiers waiting on deck, the boats immediately swung their rows far away from the shores.

When Liu Zhang's boat was about to pass through this section of the river, the fishing boat that had just escaped somehow accelerated and rushed towards Liu Zhang's boat.

"The fishing boat in front of you should stop immediately and don't get any closer, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" A tun commander watched the fishing boat approach Liu Zhang's boat and immediately shouted loudly.

The ships of the fleet also discovered this situation, but they didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the fleet has more than 20 large and small ships, but there are four large building ships, such a scale, if you dare to take the initiative to pick the side with a few small fishing boats, it is absolutely a fantasy, unless a powerful naval army comes to attack, it is impossible to pose a threat to the fleet. The sudden approach of the fishing boat may be due to the current, or it may be that the fishermen on the boat have fresh river fresh and want to find a buyer, and they have encountered fishermen selling their catch to the fleet two days ago. At that time, Liu Zhang learned that the fishermen had fresh saury in their hands and couldn't help but be full of interest, in later generations, this is the famous Yangtze River three fresh, wild saury is almost extinct, and the price on the table is sky-high, it is said that the price has reached 10,000 yuan a catty. Liu Zhang of later generations has only heard the name of the swordfish, but has never seen the real thing, with his economic foundation, it is even more impossible to enjoy it on the table, but through a time, to do a veritable "rich and handsome", of course I don't want to miss such a delicacy, so I spent a high price from the fishermen to buy three (even at this time, the saury is also a strange commodity, valuable and expensive), after cooking that night, Liu Zhang Meimei drank three bowls of fish soup, and called it "fresh" again and again. Some people can't help but think that these fishermen may have something good and want to find a good buyer! That is, because of the special situation of Liu Zhang's ship, the pro-army always maintained a high level of vigilance, and when they saw the fishing boat approaching, they immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time, under the command of Zhou Cang, a team of fifty archers boarded the deck.

Liu Zhang, who was on the deck, was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Cang's small tida, and he was about to drink to avoid frightening the people, but he saw that the fishing boats suddenly burst into smoke, and immediately, the fire engulfed the fishing boats, and there were no panicked and frightened fishermen on the fishing boats......

At this time, everyone understood that something was wrong, and all the boats sounded the sirens of "dang, dang...... Fortunately, the main force of the fleet is Liu Zhang's personal guard battalion, although these most elite troops in Yizhou did not personally go into battle to tear up Jingzhou this time, this is mainly because Liu Zhang's personal ability has been greatly improved in coming to this world, but he understands how small a person's strength is compared to the battlefield, he does not have the pride of the overlord of Chu to lift the mountain, nor does he have the ability of Zhao Yun to enter and exit seven times, and he has the courage to die generously in the face of the enemy's butcher's knife in the face of the heroes of later generations. What's more, he believes that as the main general, he should sit in the Chinese army and strategize, instead of charging at the front line like a small soldier. It is true that the main general himself can boost morale, but once the main general is killed or injured in battle, what will happen to the team? The main general will definitely become the target of the enemy's priority attack on the battlefield, and in order to protect the main general, the army will inevitably make a move, which is likely to disrupt the prior deployment and give the enemy an opportunity, so unless it is at an urgent juncture, Liu Zhang will not personally go to the battlefield to face the enemy, nor will he allow his generals to personally rush to the front line. Well, Liu Zhang admits that the last point has the reason why he is afraid of death, but he thinks that this is normal, this is not a time-traveling novel, he does not have the aura of the protagonist, he can't turn on God mode, if he dies, where will the political group of Yizhou Army go? What about his mother, brother, and newlywed wife? But these guards are carefully selected from Yizhou, each of them has more than three years of military experience, they receive the most rigorous training, equipped with the best weapons (of course, the salary and food are also stronger than ordinary soldiers, after all, these are the "Royal Forest Army", the treatment can not be bad), long-term cruel training has created their strong combat power and the character of not being alarmed, after the alarm of the enemy attack sounded, the soldiers of the guard battalion immediately boarded the deck, and the three-zhang long spear and halberd stretched out of the deck, so that the whole ship became a hedgehog, The archers bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the rapidly approaching fishing boats, and once they were in range, the merciless arrows would fly towards them, and the soldiers with Han swords in one hand and thick shields in the other protected the archers, and watched the approaching fishing boats with vigilant eyes, and the soldiers operating trebuchets and bed crossbows also quickly boarded the top deck, "Bang...... Bang ......" trebuchet, bed crossbow immediately began to exert power, boulders, big arrows flew towards the fishing boat, because the situation was urgent, the soldiers did not have much time to adjust the accuracy, most of the attacks failed, the river surface stirred up countless splashes, only one fishing boat was smashed through the fragile ship machine by a boulder sent by a trebuchet, the river water poured in rapidly, the meeting of water and fire came to the middle school to burst the sound of "snort", in the blink of an eye this small fishing boat sank to the bottom of the river......
