"At this moment, it is different from when the lord first set Jiang Xia. defeated Zhou Yu and took the four cities of Chaisang, such a record is enough to deter many people. It doesn't matter if it's someone inside or outside. Ganning's sailors under the tent are also said to be trained and gradually elite. It is not difficult to attack Gangneung, which is underdefended. Pang Tong shook his head, indicating that he had no intention of stopping Liu Feng from entering Jiangling.

"Why did Shi Yuan hesitate just now?" Liu Feng asked. Although Liu Feng can be arbitrary, he attaches great importance to Pang Tong's opinion. Pang Tong hesitated just now, of course Liu Feng wanted to ask clearly.

Although the lord is no longer afraid of that Liu Biao, raising troops in Jiangling is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Liu Biao. That Liu Biao is a face-loving person, if he is angry and angry, he will raise a large army to attack Jiangxia, which will be more serious than Zhou Yu. Yes, it is necessary to disguise it so that Liu Biao has a step to go down. Pang Tong said meaningfully.

"Koto?" Liu Feng's eyes lit up, and his heart was already clear.

Just like Pang Tong said, Liu Biao loves face, if he provokes him ruthlessly, he may jump off the wall in a hurry. Before looting, make a staircase so that Liu Biao can come down.

Disguised as the army of Gangdong and plundered Gangneung, it is a good step.

First, Liu Biao had an enmity with Jiangdong, and second, it was impossible for Liu Biao to send troops to attack Jiangdong. With these reasons, even if Liu Biao realized that he did it, there was an excuse, and there was a step down. will not raise troops to attack Jiangxia, which is already strong and as hard to gnaw as a bone.

This matter will definitely not be resolved in the end.

"Shiyuan is so insidious." After thinking about it slightly, Liu Feng felt that this method was good, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, pointing at Pang Tongyi and smiling.

"Huh." This is a joke, Pang Tong naturally doesn't care, he laughs.

After this matter was settled, Liu Feng was also relieved. The grain and grass that will survive next year's natural disasters can be regarded as having fallen. I heard that Gangneung is a heavy land, and it would be even better if there was more inventory there than Chaisang's.

Thinking about it, Liu Feng felt a little impatient in his heart.

But what needs to be done, it still has to be done.

At present, although he cannot grant Pang Tong Yinxin, Liu Feng wants to hand over part of the military power to him. It's a pity that such a military advisor who can fight and train soldiers is left alone.

"At present, Huang Zhong is ordered to guard Jiujiang, and he will not return to Xiling in a short time. The 2,000 troops he left behind in Xiling, I think they will be handed over to Shi Yuan to command. In order to fulfill my promise, with Shiyuan, he must be the internal counselor and military advisor, and the external military power. Liu Feng thought about it in his heart for a while, and said to Pang Tong with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord." Pang Tong smiled slightly when he heard this, and hugged his fists. Although his expression was calm, Liu Feng could still sense a flash of excitement in Pang Tong's eyes.

Those who become officials are for fame and profit. But Pang Tong is not among them, he is in order to show his strengths and ambitions. Perhaps, like Guo Jia, being a military advisor next to the monarch is also a kind of stage. But Pang Tong is a man who can command troops, so he naturally wants a bigger stage.

And now Liu Feng has also given him a stage. 2,000 soldiers are not much, but they are the beginning of showing their strengths.

It can also be said that Liu Feng basically saw through Pang Tong. Liu Feng smiled slightly. continued to talk to Pang Tong for a while, and then made an excuse to let Pang Tong go down.

It's not that I don't want to talk more, increase and increase feelings. It's just that Liu Feng is really lacking, and he said that he was going to take a car to Xiakou again to supervise Gan Ning to attack Jiangxia together.

You have to rest early.

Early the next morning, Liu Feng only had time to have breakfast with Cai Yu and Huan'er, and told them to arrange Xiao Qiao well, so he took Kou Shui and dozens of other soldiers to Xiakou by car.

Soon, Liu Feng and others came to the outside of Xiakou City.

Liu Feng looked up at Xiakou City, but it was a little different from the last time he saw it, and the city was even taller. It seems that in addition to Gan Ning's military training, he is also repairing the city.

For this, Liu Feng praised it in his heart. Although the attack is very important, the defense of the city is also very important, and Xiakou, as the western gateway of Jiangxia, is necessary to increase the height and repair more.

However, when Liu Feng entered the city, he saw not a high-spirited Gan Ning, but a somewhat depressed Gan Ning.

In the Taishou Mansion, Liu Feng sat on the main seat, Gan Ning sat on the left side, and Kou Shui sat on the right side. There are no outsiders.

Liu Feng looked up and saw Gan Ning's depressed expression, and thought about it in his heart, but he also guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.

Gan Ning is a very confident and capable person. And these words, Liu Feng led the generals to defeat Zhou Yu in Wuchang, and in the land war, he showed his heroism.

However, Gan Ning faced the harassment of the Jiangdong naval army, so he could only trap Xiakou and couldn't retreat. How can this arrogant general stand it?

The grievances of the generals under him, of course, must be considerate and considerate.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng also felt annoyed. In this part of Jiangxia, more than a dozen cities were cut into two sections by the Yangtze River, and water transportation was developed. But Liu Feng has a very poor control over the Yangtze River, which flows through this section of Jiangxia. As a result, Liu Feng has strong control over more than ten cities south of the Yangtze River, but four or five cities north of the Yangtze River have very weak control.

Liu Feng dared to guarantee that if Cao Ren came, half of Jiangxia north of the Yangtze River would definitely fall after hearing the wind.

Develop a water army to protect this section of the waterway. Strengthen North-South ties. Protect merchant ships and fight against water pirates. This is important.

And this, of course, depends on the defense of the general Gan Ning and the entire naval army.

The quality of the navy army can only be consolidated by accumulation over time, and now it will only take two or three months to become an army, and it will take at least two or three months to barely be considered okay. But compared with the Jiangdong soldiers, I am afraid there is still a lot of distance. Nor is it something that training can compensate for.

We have to think of a way to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the navy.

Warship. Liu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea. Now Gan Ning's warships are all taken from Huang Zu, with different sizes and styles. Some are still in disrepair and are very depressed.

If the warships are raised to a higher level, it will be able to change the pattern of Jiangdong's domination of the Yangtze River. Liu Feng's first thought was a steamer, the kind of warship that could travel against the water without oars.

If there is that kind of warship, it will not be a dream to change the pattern of Jiangdong's monopoly of the navy and the Yangtze River.

Liu Feng couldn't help but feel surging in his heart, and now he set up Jiujiang County to resist the Sun family. If he can fight with the Sun clan in the naval army again, the Sun clan will have nothing to fear.

If he came again, Gan Ning could defend Jiangxia and even attack the waters of Jiangdong. Go down the river and take the hinterland of Jiangdong directly.

However, Liu Feng's surging heart gradually converged, because he knew that it would take time for this idea to come true. Just like the Tang knife, Liu Feng although the appearance of the ship, as well as the principle. But I don't know anything about the internal structure of that kind of ship.

You have to find a craftsman to study it.

Liu Feng immediately thought of Chaisang, where the shipbuilding industry is developed, and at present, one layer of the warships of the Jiangdong Navy is produced by craftsmen on Chaisang's side.

The craftsmen are very skilled.

It's just a moment, but Liu Feng already has the intention of dominating the waters in his heart, but he doesn't show it on his face.

"Xingba was depressed because he was suppressed by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai during this time." Liu Feng smiled slightly and asked.

It made the lord smile. But looking at the Jiangdong Navy in our Jiangxia territory, rampage. It's really hard to get out of a bad breath. Gan Ning was a frank man, he didn't hide anything, and sighed.

Sure enough. Knowing in his heart, Liu Feng looked at Gan Ning without a trace of disdain, but was very happy. Shame and courage. Gan Ning's urgency to drive away the Jiangdong Navy is stronger than him.

"The Jiangdong Navy is indeed powerful, and it is difficult for us to compete with it in a short period of time. The strength, the quality of the army, the number and quality of the warships, are not opponents. Liu Feng smiled slightly and shook his head.

Gan Ning was a little unconvinced when he heard this, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it, and his face couldn't help but be even more depressed.

Of course, Liu Feng didn't say those words to fight Gan Ning, speaking of which, he glanced at Gan Ning, and suddenly changed his words, and said loudly: "However, I believe that it will be either a year or two years, and the Jiangxia Navy will definitely be able to fight with Jiangdong under the training of Xingba." ”

"Thank you for your trust."

Liu Feng's words made Gan Ning feel better. However, although Gan Ning is not satisfied with the Jiangdong Water Army, he is not an irrational person. He knew that the gap with Jiangdong could not be made up in one or two years, and it would take five years at the fast and ten years before he could train a naval army that could compete with Jiangdong.

When speaking, Liu Feng always looked at Gan Ning. Knowing that he doesn't have much confidence, he won't break it, anyway, when the warship is built, Gan Ning's confidence will definitely swell.

Maybe he was still ambitious, and he led the Jiangxia Navy to the east to Jianye and Wu County. Plundering Koto. Go west directly by boat to Yizhou, occupy the city and seize land.

Governor of the Navy. Liu Feng really wanted to seal Gan Ning's official position in his heart.

"Hehe, I know that this time the water army has been aggrieved all the way, and it is not only Xingba who is depressed, but also my three thousand water army. The soldiers were holding their breath. So, this time, I'm here to find a gas bag for the soldiers. Nurture and nurture their confidence. Liu Feng smiled and changed the subject.

"Is there such a good thing?" Gan Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait.

really made Liu Feng right, in this water war, it was not only Gan Ning who was depressed, but also three thousand water soldiers. Watching the Jiangdong people rampaging across the Yangtze River, the water army lacked a sense of security.

These words, Gan Ning has a headache how to build the confidence of the navy.

"Went up the river, went straight to Jiangling, robbed Liu Biao's grain and grass, and carried a heavy load, I don't know if Xingba is interested?" Liu Feng's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly.

"It's not pleasing to see him for a long time." Gan Ning stood up suddenly, the disgust in his eyes flashed, and he said loudly.

Gan Ning first attached to Liu Biao, and was not reused. This incident still makes the current Gan Ning angry, and now he can directly prove his ability to Liu Biao, how can Gan Ning not be happy?

"Wait a minute, my subordinates will go and prepare the army." After finishing speaking, Gan Ning bowed to Liu Feng and was about to turn his head and leave.

"Wait." Liu Feng stopped Gan Ning. Gan Ning turned his head and looked at Liu Feng suspiciously.

"First make two flags, one is called "Jiang" and the other is called "Zhou". Meeting Gan Ning's gaze, Liu Feng smiled slightly.

"Blame." Gan Ning's brain reacted quickly, nodded and said, "The last general will do it." ”

After Gan Ning left, Liu Feng smiled slightly, facing the direction of Jiangling in the west, and said secretly in his heart: "Jiangling, I'm here, but I don't know how much food Liu Biao has hoarded there. ”
