Time always passes quietly, in the blink of an eye, the cold winter has quietly slipped away, the gentle spring breeze brings the recovery of all things, it is a good time for spring flowers to bloom.

In the spring of 198 AD, it seemed to be no different from previous years, but the situation in the world has always been in a tense atmosphere, not to mention that Yuan Cao and the two were busy annexing Hebei and the Central Plains, and Lu An's naval training began to really unfold.

In winter, because of the cold weather, although Zhou Yu and other famous commanders of the navy were invited, the soldiers could only do some simple training on the school field, and now that the weather is warmer, the soldiers can really practice water combat.

Sometime in April

After Lu An finished handling government affairs, he wanted to see the current situation of his navy on a whim, so he called Gan Ning and Zhou Tai and other generals to go with him.

The reason why these martial artists are called, Lu Anxin also has a little thought, Zhou Yu is under his command, and he will definitely be handsome in the future, but with his current qualifications, as a chief instructor of military training, Jiangdong generals are not very acceptable, so he must let Zhou Yu's ability be shown to the maximum in front of everyone, and subtly, when Zhou Yu is named handsome in the future, everyone's rejection can also be smaller.

Everyone came to a remote port outside the city, where a water camp was built around the port, and there were many large buildings docked outside the camp, some of which were already floating on the river, and shouting slogans were heard from time to time.

This is the place where the Jiangdong Army conducts water warfare training, and land combat training needs the same school, the training of water warfare needs water villages and building boats, so that the training can ensure that the soldiers will not be uncomfortable with the left and right steering of the ship when the ship is sailing, so as to give full play to the maximum combat effectiveness, in the past, perhaps it was the continuous victories that made Lu An a little complacent, coupled with the lack of suitable water combat commanders, Lu An has not paid much attention to this aspect of training, and now, Lu An wants to make up for all this.

A breeze blew across the dock, Lu An looked at the past from afar, and saw the soldiers on the boat through the river, although they were far away, they could still feel that the soldiers had changed qualitatively, Lu An believed that the Jiangdong Army at this time was pulled to the Jingzhou battlefield last year, even if it could not win in the end, it would definitely not be so miserable.

Thinking of last year's humiliation, Lu An unconsciously exuded a trace of coldness, the 160,000 elite army that had experienced a hundred battles was actually defeated by the 100,000 Jingzhou army, in addition to the loss of the lives of 40,000 Jiangdong disciples, his own reputation and face were also lost in that battle, this kind of pain, like being slapped in the face when he was complacent, more like a sharp knife into his heart, so that he will always remember.

"What do you think of the current Jiangdong Army?" Restraining his mentality, Lu An asked towards the generals.

"Judging from the water war alone, our Jiangdong Army's combat power is far higher than last year's!"

"Our army's water warfare capability is already comparable to its performance in land warfare!"

"Elite Sailor!"

Gan Ning and the others replied one after another. They are all the same tone, recognizing the great progress of the Jiangdong Army in water warfare, after all, the performance of the soldiers on the building ship at this time is compared with last year, even a person who is not familiar with military affairs can see a big difference.

"It looks good, but it's still too early to say this, only after pulling into the battlefield can we really know how much progress our Jiangdong Army has made in the water war!" Listening to everyone's comments, the corners of Lu An's mouth were slightly hooked, but he still said quite quietly.

"See the lord!" Hearing that Lu An was coming, Zhou Yu also hurried over from the camp to meet him at this time.

"Gong Jin, I've worked hard for you this time, everyone here just now said that our army's water warfare capability has made great progress compared to the past!" Lu An's eyes turned to Zhou Yu, his expression was full of satisfaction, the shadow of the famous tree, Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang, who left a heavy mark in history, really did not cover it, and before he reached the critical battlefield, he gave himself a surprise just because of his training ability.

"We have a lot of water in Jiangdong, and the soldiers are no strangers to the water itself, and they are elite soldiers, and the last general just conducted a simple drill for the soldiers, and they should not be praised by the lord!" Zhou Yu is very humble.

"You don't have to be so humble, I can see your efforts, how long will it take for these soldiers to complete the practice?" Lu An changed the topic and asked.

"It's almost the same in two months, after all, training alone can't form the top sailors after all, and they still have to rely on battlefield training to really improve their water combat ability significantly!" Zhou Yu replied.

"Two months? That's just in time, before the autumn harvest this year, we will use troops against Jingzhou! Lu An nodded, but he did not hesitate to confide in the idea of sending troops.

"The lord wants to use troops before the autumn harvest? Isn't that around July or August? Speaking of sending troops, the generals on the side asked excitedly. As military generals, only in the battlefield can their true value be reflected, and it is also the only place for them to establish meritorious deeds, so for the war, the generals will only feel excited, and there will be no rejection.

"Well, yesterday I just received a secret letter from Lu Su in Jiaozhou, they have almost stabilized the situation in Jiaozhou, and we can return to the army in a while, and we can go all out to fight Jingzhou at that time, and we must win!" Lu An said, his tone became extremely resolute and affirmative, Jingzhou is the direction he is moving forward, and it is also an obstacle that he must remove, otherwise he will be thrown away by Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, and it will become difficult to settle the country in the future.

"Rest assured, my lord, the next time we go on an expedition, we will take the lead and wash away the shame of the last time!" The generals on the side said in unison. Not only did Lu An feel extremely aggrieved by the defeat last time, but their generals who went out on the expedition had already accumulated fire, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

"Haha, it's still early to go on the expedition, don't think about it so early!" Lu An smiled slightly, but he stepped on a building boat, he wanted to go to the river to see those soldiers up close, soldiers are always the most important cornerstone in the war.

"Going on a campaign?" Zhou Yu looked at Lu An's figure, his eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, he had always looked forward to the position of marshal of the navy that Lu An promised him, and now he lacked this stage to show his brilliance.

Lu An originally planned to spend the whole day in this water village today, but an unexpected news interrupted his trip, so that he had to return to the mansion, and at the fastest speed.

"Lord, Mrs. Diao Chan is about to give birth, and the old lady and the old woman are calling you to hurry back home!"

After learning the news from the guards who rushed over, Lu An immediately gave up the idea of inspecting the sailors and returned to the Prefecture Munei Mansion as soon as possible.

At this time, the mansion was already busy, from top to bottom, all the steps were urgent, quite a bit like a chicken flying and a dog jumping, Lu An, as the owner of the entire Jiangdong, everyone knew what his child meant, not to mention that this was his first child.

"How's it going?" When Lu An returned to the mansion, Diao Chan had already been sent into the room, the door was tightly closed, outside the room, Lu Sanding and his wife were very nervous walking around the door, and the girls and some maids were also waiting outside.

"The midwife has already gone in!" Mi Zhen replied with a little envy.

"Nuwa Niangniang bless, this time you must add a boy to my Lu family, you must not be a girl!" Although Lu Sanding and his wife walked around anxiously, they kept chanting words in their mouths.

"Dad, mother, what do you think, men and women are the same!" Listening to the painful screams of Diao Chan in the room, Lu An couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said angrily.

"How can it be the same, sooner or later, girls have to get married, and it must be a man who inherits the incense!" Lu Sanding glared at his son and said angrily. The meritorious foundation that his son has now established has long exceeded their knowledge, and they have never interjected, but on the issue of family incense, he, as a father, cannot but speak.

"It doesn't matter if anything else, I just hope the cicadas are safe!" Lu An knew how much people in this era paid attention to the matter of family incense, and he didn't want to argue with his father, but he silently thought about Diao Chan's safety in his heart.

In this era of backward medicine, the risk of a woman having a child is very high, although Diao Chan has practiced martial arts, but Lu An is also afraid of what happens, especially listening to Diao Chan's heart-wrenching cry, which makes him a little upset and irritable, if it is really because of the birth of a child that Diao Chan has an accident, then he will really regret it for the rest of his life.

"Sister, isn't it painful to give birth to a child, I see Sister Diao's cry seems to be very painful!" Listening to the painful moans coming from the room, Xiao Qiao was a little worried, and quietly asked his sister.

"Well, it's really painful for a woman to give birth." Da Qiao nodded.

"Huh? Then I still won't have babies in the future! Xiao Qiao said with some fear.

"Silly girl, what do you think, don't you want to have children for your husband?" Big Joe said with tears and laughter.

"Yes!" Xiao Qiao nodded without hesitation, but then said with a bitter face: "But I'm afraid of pain!" ”

"I can't think about it so much, we are women, and having children is an indispensable pass, if you can't give birth to offspring for your husband, you will be despised." Da Qiao said and touched his belly a little unconsciously, what the hell is going on, the husband has grace every day tomorrow, but in the end, only Diao Chan is pregnant, I really can't figure it out.

"Oh!" Xiao Qiao nodded as if he didn't understand.
