After a few days of busy work, the first batch of graduates were finally all arranged. As for how next year's graduates will be placed, it will depend on how the current batch performs. After the matter on the side of Xuzhou College came to an end, Zhao Feng began to propose the next stage of development plan to Liu Bei.

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

"Yes, my lord. Although we and Jiangdong are currently in peace, it is because Jiangdong is busy pacifying Jiaozhou. When Jiangdong is busy, I'm afraid there will be a war with us sooner or later. Zhao Feng said frankly. Liu Bei thought about it carefully, and then thought about Sun Ce's personality, and he also felt that this matter was very likely.

"In that case, who will train this water army?" Liu Bei looked at the generals under the tent and asked. I don't want everyone to hear this, and suddenly you look at me and I look at you, and for a while, no one stood up.

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was also a little speechless, but after thinking about it, everyone under Liu Bei's account was basically from the north, and there were not many 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 that Guan Yu is a pastor in Yuzhou, even if he wants to train a sailor, I am afraid it will be difficult to mobilize him to be in charge.

As for the others, let alone that. Even if it is Zhao Feng himself, he can only be regarded as barely able to swim, and if he wants to train a water army, Zhao Feng asked himself if he had that ability.

Just when Zhao Feng was a little frustrated, Lu Su came out and said, "Lord, I wish to train the water army." ”

"Oh? Can Zijing know the method of training the water army? Liu Bei saw that Lu Su was willing to make a move, and his head, which had been gradually aching, was suddenly relieved a lot. Zhao Feng looked at Lu Su and suddenly understood: I almost forgot that this old brother was the governor of Eastern Wu in history, how could he have two tricks in training the navy.

Sure enough, Lu Su replied: "Su has lived in Xiapi for a long time, and he has studied Jiangdong and Jingxiang Water Master in the past, and he has even seen Zhou Yu's Jiangdong Water Village with his own eyes. Although Su Ziwen is not as good as him in training the navy, it must not be too far behind. "It's as low-key and cautious as ever. However, Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, he knew that Lu Su dared to say it to this point, so he was very sure.

So Liu Bei immediately ordered to appoint Lu Su as the governor of Xuzhou and make every effort to build the Xuzhou Navy Army. "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 a place and said: "It's here on the Huai River!" Zhao Feng looked at the map, opened his mouth and didn't say anything. Originally, he hoped that this water village would be built in Hongze Lake, but now Hongze Lake is still a small puddle, in history Hongze Lake was formed in the Song Dynasty because of the diversion of Surabaya, and the current scale is compared with the fourth largest freshwater lake in the country later, it is simply not an order of magnitude.

As for the other big lakes, Dongting Lake is in Jingzhou, Poyang Lake and Taihu Lake are in Jiangdong. The remaining Chaohu Lake borders Shouchun, but it is stuck between Shouchun and Lujiang, and if you train the navy there, you will basically blatantly shout that Sun Ce on the other side will come and beat yourself. It's a pity, why didn't you ask Lujiang to come over when you first negotiated? Zhao Feng regretted it a little.

There is no regret medicine in this world, and the Xuzhou Navy has been trained like this anyway. Under the auspices of Lu Su, the water village was first established. In recent years, Zhao Feng has been mixing with 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 camp, and the waterways in it are vertical and horizontal, so the marching army column is 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 Huai River.

"Wonderful, wonderful! Brother Zijing, you can be regarded as a master of the water war in the world, and your brother is out of reach! Zhao Feng followed Lu Su and turned back and forth in this water village with a small boat, and suddenly felt nine bends and eighteen bends, and he was about to get dizzy.

"Hehe, Bo Tao has won the award!" Lu Su stroked his goatee and smiled a little smugly. At this time, this water village has just been established, and it can only be regarded as beginning to take shape. After all, digging a river is not an easy task, and even processing on the original basis can take months. Rao is like this, Zhao Feng, a layman, is already a little dizzy.

At this time, Liu Bei had a letter coming, Zhao Feng and Lu Su opened it and took a look, it turned out that Guan Yu transferred Yiyang Taishou Xu Sheng, and Yuzhou Bing Cao engaged in cultural recruitment to come to Shuizhai to help Lu Su. Only then did Zhao Feng remember that there was also a person named Wen Ping, who was known as the first military general in Jingzhou, so he should know how to train the navy. I remember that in history, Cao Ying sent him to intercept Huang Gai's fireship, but he was almost killed by the latter's arrow. As for Xu Sheng, he was also a general of the Eastern Wu Navy in history, even if he is still young now, he should always know how to order it.

Lu Su + Xu Sheng + Wenpin, this is the entire lineup of Xuzhou Sailors now. "There are still few people!" Zhao Feng looked left and right, just these three old brothers, how could they all seem a little thin. Fortunately, the three of them have a tacit understanding, Lu Su is responsible for building the water village and dispatching in the center, and Wen Ping and Xu Sheng are training the army. Liu Bei, the first batch of Xuzhou naval troops, only arranged 5,000 people, after all, there are not many people with the surname Shui in the army now. Next, the second group will wait until they are familiar with the surname Shui before they can enter the battle. However, Zhao Feng was unwilling to wait like this, since there were few people, he would bring more people over. At that moment, Zhao Feng sent dozens of fine workers to the Yangtze River to find out the details of Gan Ning's group. Of course, Gan Ning is brave in battle, but it is still up to Lu Su to do these things in the middle.

"Hey, Zijing, why are our sailors all small boats now, why don't we build big ships?" Zhao Feng looked at it for a few days, and suddenly found that the ships of the Xuzhou Navy were all small boats that could only accommodate dozens of people at most, but there was not a single one of the slightly larger ones.

"Small boats are more bumpy than big boats, so the small boats are used to train the soldiers' ability to ride boats. Besides, it takes a long time to build a big ship, and at the moment we don't have many craftsmen, and we have only built these 100 or so small boats. Lu Su explained, then looked around and no one paid attention to their conversation, lowered his voice and said in Zhao Feng's ear: "It takes skilled shipwrights to build a big ship, and there are almost no boatmen in Xuzhou, so it can't be built now." ”

"Is that so?" Zhao Feng was also shocked when he heard this, but seeing that Lu Su didn't mean to joke, he immediately understood that this matter was a little serious, and immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Then how can you recruit such a boatman?" ”

"Generally, Jiangdong or Jingxiang have it, but this shipbuilding skill is owned by the family, and it is easy not to tell outsiders. At present, Jiangdong already belongs to Sun Ce, with his eloquence and strategy, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to find manpower there, only in Jingxiang to think of a way! "Lu Su is also a little uncertain.

"That's all there is to it!" Zhao Feng knew these things, and Lu Su knew more clearly than himself. He said so, and he must have no better way. But at this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught something, but he couldn't think clearly, only a vague shadow.

"Weird, what the hell do you remember?" Zhao Feng was a little dizzy all morning, until he said goodbye to Lu Su and returned to Pengcheng's own home, his mind was still a little trance.

"Husband has worked hard!" Diao Chan took the armor and battle robe that Zhao Feng had taken off, and handed them to the maid beside him. Then seeing his uneasy appearance, he couldn't help but comfort: "Is there something bothering the husband?" ”

"It's not a bother, it's just that there seems to be a very important thing, but I can't remember it!" Zhao Feng frowned.

"If you can't remember it, don't think about it first, and sometimes maybe you will remember it again?" Diao Chan laughed when he heard this. Zhao Feng had no other way for a while, so he could only do this first. But he was sure that it must have been a very important matter, but it had been too long for him to remember.

At this time, the servant brought dinner, and Zhao Feng also ate first. During the banquet, he chatted 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 he didn't question directly. At the moment, he also had the intention of being pretentious, and deliberately asked, "Why, Madame is also more interested in this Miss Zhen?" ”

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Fengfeng asked so bluntly, Diao Chan was suddenly a little overwhelmed, but then he said with a straight face: "Actually, husband, if you really like her, you might as well go and propose to the Zhen family." With the reputation of the husband today, the Zhen family will not refuse. ”

"Thank you, Madame, for being so generous!" Zhao Feng really smiled bitterly this time. Not because of anything else, it was the day before yesterday that he had learned from the mouth of that little Lori Zhen Mi that Zhen Jiang had already married Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan. Zhao Feng remembered that it was Zhen Mi who married Yuan Xi, but why is it Zhen Jiang who wants to marry Yuan Tan now? Thinking about it, it seems that it can only be explained as the butterfly effect after saving Zhen Jiang.

"I worked hard to save it, but I was someone else's wife!" Zhao Feng didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, and after thinking about it, even if it wasn't for people who didn't promise him, he couldn't see death without saving him. In addition to smiling bitterly so far, Zhao Feng can only sigh that creation makes people.

After fighting fiercely with Diao Chan as usual that night, Zhao Feng fell asleep a little tired. As a result, when he got up early the next morning, Zhao Feng shook his head a little heavily, and suddenly remembered what the incident he had been worried about was.

After eating something in a hurry, Zhao Feng hurried to the Xuzhou Junshui 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: "Zijing, do you know that the Lu family in Jiangdong can build the big ship needed by the water army?"
