As for the training of sailors, according to Sun Ling's meaning, from the 50,000 Xuzhou garrison troops that were originally the Jingzhou army, first draw out people who know water to train, recruit 30,000 people, and then recruit some more people from Xuzhou if it is not enough.

Anyway, it's just a matter of smashing it with money, and the soldiers who know the water haven't been on a warship? Okay, then take out those fighting ships and let them play until they get really acquainted with them. Really capable sailors envy the treatment of the Badao battalion? Okay, then the treatment of the soldiers of the Navy Army will be promoted to the same level as the Tyrant Battalion.

In addition to these, Sun Ling also drew a few drawings according to his own ideas and asked Xun Yu to take them to those boatmen. The main thing is to change and deepen the high-speed movement of the ship through these, and to a certain extent, speed up the headwind speed of the hull.

Looking at those drawings, Xun Yu was a little confused. Because the major is not right, he doesn't know anything about these things. But there was a drawing, but it caught his attention: "Lord, why do you put the wheels on the bottom of the ship?" What does this stuff do? ”

"This thing can make our warship much faster than other people's. Let those shipbuilders want to go, I just take out the ideas, and they are the experts in this regard. Looking at the picture that Xun Yu was holding, Sun Ling explained.

The drawing Xun Xunyu said was the paddling wheel designed by Sun Ling in order to enhance the speed of the boat. With it, other people's water armies will definitely be overshadowed in front of the sailing speed of the Lang Evil Water Army.

Sun Ling believes that as long as he draws it himself and inspires those people, after follow-up research, they will definitely be able to make a more suitable water wheel.

Although he didn't understand, since Sun Ling said that he could be faster than others, it should be true, and Xun Yu had no doubts about this.

Carefully putting those drawings into his arms, Xun Yu thought of another purpose for coming this time: "Lord! In this case, the gold will come in handy, but how will the ten thousand stone grain be distributed? ”

Belch.. Hearing Xun Yu's question, Sun Ling was also stunned. I have been thinking about the water master, but I have forgotten about the food.

In such troubled times, food is definitely the most scarce thing. It can be said that in many places there is now a situation where money cannot buy food. And Sun Ling extorted food from Liu Biao this time, which was enough for 10,000 stones. Equivalent to the modern weight, it must be more than 300 tons, what is this concept?

At present, there is no shortage of these grains in Henan and Xuzhou, but in Qingzhou, because they have just settled down now, they may be the most needed. Thinking of this, Sun Ling looked at Xun Yu: "Hasn't Changwen been shouting about the lack of food in Qingzhou recently?" Then give him the grain, so that he will not have to cry out for food all day long. ”

"Tsk, this is 10,000 stone of grain, don't you keep some of it?" Hearing Sun Ling say that he would send all this grain to Qingzhou, Xun Yu smacked his lips and said with some regret.

Xun Yu's meaning, Sun Ling understood it after a little thought. It seems that in the face of this huge amount of money and food, Xun Yu has become a bit of a miser. Thinking of this, Sun Ling looked at him angrily: "Yu, Xu Liangzhou, now there is no shortage of grain, and because of those people from Luoyang, there are more people who cultivate grain." Otherwise, I'll hand over the food to Wen Ruo to deal with, and if you want to keep it, you can keep it yourself. However, if Changwen comes to ask for food again, how about you deal with him yourself? ”

Xun Yu could completely imagine that if he really kept the food in his hands, Chen Qun would definitely run back to Yangzhai City directly to find himself desperately.

Thinking of that terrible scene, Xun Yu couldn't help but snort, and said with a smile: "Naturally, according to the lord's wishes, send those grains to Qingzhou, I don't want Changwen to run back to find me desperately." ”

After agreement, the final distribution of this huge amount of money and grain for nothing was resolved.

Xu Lu kept the allocation of the 10,000 taels of gold to support the formation of the Lang Evil Water Master. Xun Yu was responsible for transporting the grain to Qingzhou and handing it over to Chen Qun.

As for the question of the commander of the water division, Huang Zhong could have written to inform Wen Ping of the good news. However, because Sun Ling was really anxious, he went this time in person.

Just when Sun Ling was preparing for the Lang Evil Water Master, Liu Bei, who was far away in Youzhou Plains County, was planning a big event.

Because Gongsun Zan led the army to fight with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, he handed over the town defense of Youzhou to Liu Bei.

And Liu Bei did not live up to Gongsun Zhan's expectations at the beginning, with the cooperation of Jian Yong and the newcomer Sun Gan, Liu Bei did all the matters in Youzhou in an orderly manner.

Compared with the strong policy implemented by Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Liu Bei was dominated by Huairou. Therefore, during the period of Gongsun Zhan's departure, the people were even more grateful to Liu Bei, but it was precisely because of this that Liu Bei moved his mind.

"My lord! That Gongsun Chan is indeed meritorious in fighting against foreign races, but he is tyrannical to the people of Youzhou. Now the people of Youzhou are all grateful for the benevolence of the lord, and the people's hearts are available! The lord might as well take advantage of Gongsun Zan to lead the army to deal with Yuan Shao and take this Youzhou land. In this way, the lord can also have a place to live, and he no longer has to send people under the fence! After Sun Qian finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei with anticipation in his eyes, hoping that he would agree to act.

At this time, there were a total of five people in the room, including Liu Bei. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, these are all Liu Bei's real henchmen. And Liu Bei was sitting at the top, listening to Sun Gan's words below, and the look on his face was a little hesitant.

It is impossible to say that Liu Bei was not moved when he heard Sun Gan's words. However, because Liu Bei has always shown benevolence and righteousness in front of the two brothers, he is just scruples in his heart at this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not agree to do this, otherwise he would have agreed to this matter a long time ago.

Jian Yong met Liu Bei when he was young, and when the Yellow Turban was in turmoil, he also scattered all his family wealth and followed Liu Bei around, so he can be said to have a deep understanding of him. So seeing the hesitation on Liu Bei's face at this time, Jian Yong immediately guessed his concerns.

In order to get Liu Bei to agree to seize Youzhou, Jian Yong also let go, and stood up and bowed to Liu Bei: "Lord!" In Yong's opinion, Gongyou's words are great! ”

Originally, Liu Bei had some concerns in his heart, but at this time, seeing that Jian Yong also stood up and agreed with Sun Qian's words, a trace of joy flashed on his face.

But after a peek, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei below, seeing that they were still speechless, Liu Bei said with a righteous face: "Brother Bo Qi is not well prepared, how can Bei take Youzhou when he leads the troops out?" Wouldn't it be a gentleman's act to act like this?! ”

Jian Yong, Jian Yong, I've said this, if you don't come up with a reasonable explanation that can persuade the second and third brothers, I will be done with you.

Although Liu Bei had a positive look on his face, he was secretly nervous after saying these words, and he could only hope that Jian Yong could understand his intention by saying this.

Sure enough, Jian Yong did not disappoint Liu Bei. Throwing his sleeves, he said indignantly: "Lord! Yong only knows that with the ability of the lord, it is easy to govern a state. That Gongsun Zan knew that the lord was talented, but he only asked the lord to be the county magistrate of this small plain county. If it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Zan would have personally led the troops to fight with Yuan Shao this time, he would have asked the lord. How can you hand over this political affairs of Youzhou to the lord?

And even if the political affairs are handed over to the lord to take care of, then Gongsun Chan will let his henchman Yan Gang sit in Youzhou. The lord worked hard to take care of Youzhou for him, but he made such a precautionary villain, how can he be called a good treat for the lord? In Yiyong's opinion, if it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Chan wanted to recruit the second general and the third general, he would have kicked the lord away a long time ago! ”

Listening to Jian Yong's indignant speech, Liu Bei's heart blossomed happily. Sure enough, he is the person who knows himself best, and he didn't believe him in vain.

After Jian Yong finished speaking, Liu Bei did not reply to him immediately, but his eyes were red, his eyes were tearful, he looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei below, and his voice was choked: "Second brother, third brother, it's a foolish brother who has no ability, so he can only let you follow me around, and now you have to follow me to send someone under the fence." Xianhe is right, if it weren't for Brother Bo Jue who values you, he would have kicked the foolish brother away.

Foolish brother doesn't want to block your future because of himself. I will leave with Gongyou and Xianhe, with your martial arts, you will definitely be able to be reused by Brother Bo Jue, and you can follow Brother Bo Jue with peace of mind. ”

After saying these words, Liu Bei's face was already covered with tears at this time. In that way, as touching as it is, as touching as it is.

"Big brother, what are you talking about? When the three brothers of us were married, we vowed to share weal and woe. How could I abandon my eldest brother and vote for Gongsun Zan by myself? In my opinion, it's the other thing that Gongsun Zhan is, anyway, he's not a good bird! Seeing Liu Bei's touching words and tears on his face, Zhang Fei, who was anxious, hurriedly stood up and shouted.

"The third brother is right! Let me close the clouds and abandon my eldest brother. went to Nagongsun Zhan, this matter is impossible. According to what the two gentlemen said, what if you take this Youzhou?! Guan Yu also opened his closed eyes at this time, and said solemnly to Liu Bei.

After hearing the words of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei finally felt relieved, with the support of the two brothers, he was sure to take Youzhou, after all, Yan Gang was not a third-rate product, if they were there, the certainty of this matter would be even greater.

Although he was already secretly happy in his heart, on the surface, Liu Bei still pretended to hesitate. stopped sobbing and looked at the four people below: "Bei Nai is a member of the Han family, is it inappropriate to do such a thing?" ”

"My lord! It is precisely because the lord is a relative of the Han family that he should take down this Youzhou and let the people of this Youzhou avoid the scourge of Gongsun Zhan, all of which is for the people of Youzhou! Jian Yong once again admonished.

"For the sake of the people of Youzhou, please also ask the lord to take down Youzhou!" Sun Qian followed and agreed.

Seeing that Jian Yong and Sun Qian had found a reasonable excuse for themselves, Liu Bei didn't have the last worries, looked at the four of them, and made a compassionate appearance. "That's it, for the sake of the people of this Youzhou, I just promise you." ”

If Sun Ling is here, when he sees Liu Bei like this, he will definitely have a feeling: it seems that Liu Bei, who has been praised by later generations, Uncle Liu Huang has finally awakened his invincible face.

Now that the matter has been decided, Liu Bei is not a soft-hearted person, so he asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to take their headquarters to Guangyang County to hide first, and prepare to rush into Ji County. Liu Bei himself took a few guards into Jixian County to find Yan Gang for the reason of discussing political affairs.

Gongsun Zhan didn't know that Liu Bei had already begun to prepare and was about to seize his old nest. At this time, he was confronting Yuan Shao with Bai Ma Yi Cong at the boundary bridge. In this battle, both sides have invested all their combat strength, and the result will also determine the belonging of Jizhou!
