In the afternoon of the next day, Tian Fan, Lu Bu, and Zhang Fei led their troops to Liu Bei and others who were waiting in Xiaqiu.

Liu Bei had already received Tian Fan's military report, and he was extremely excited at this time! Tian Fan and Zhang Fei raided Ji Ling's camp with 9,000 people, with less than 1,000 casualties, and later against Chen Lanleibo's 35,000 sergeants, the casualties were less than 500! These two victories can be said to be big wins!

Liu Bei was very emotional, Tian Fan, he actually has such a powerful leadership talent!

Waiting for another day, Huailing County ordered Yin Chao, leading more than 3,000 foot soldiers and tens of thousands of people, to see that more than 3,000 Yuan Shujun prisoners were suppressed, and countless Yuan Shujun baggage were pulled, and they also rushed up.

Liu Bei looked at the tens of thousands of people who were beaming with joy, and how happy he was in his heart! The people were also very happy, in the camp of the Ji Ling Army, there were countless things that were not needed in the army, all of which were given to them by Tian Fan! For the people of Xuzhou who are getting richer, maybe they don't value those things! What they value is that the Xuzhou army has won a big victory!

After this battle, Liu Bei's position in the hearts of the people is undoubtedly more stable! The loss of our army did not exceed 5,000, but the 50,000 people of Yuan Shu's army were wiped out, and even the main general Ji Ling was captured, and there were more than 100,000 troops in Xuzhou, who are we afraid of? If you want to defeat Xuzhou, less than 500,000 troops, don't even think about it!

Tian Fan and Yin Chao have always had an excellent relationship, and the two naturally have to be intimate when they meet! Yin Chao came here and brought good news! After nearly a year, the shipyards of the Yin family and the Zhu family finally built the first batch of ten small building ships!

Building ships, with their huge size and carrying a large number of soldiers, have always been the main force in water warfare, and some large building ships will even be used as command ships. Although the small building ship can only carry 500 people, it is much smaller than the large building ship with 2,000 people produced by the Cai family in Jingzhou, but after all, Xuzhou has its own building ship! Small building ships can be produced, will neutral and large ones be far away?

When Liu Bei heard the news, he was naturally happy! There are 18,000 soldiers in the Xuzhou Navy Army, and there were only fighting ships and ships in the past, but now, there are finally building ships! He encouraged Yin Chao Yitong and asked him to tell his family that in terms of the production of building ships, he would strive to produce large building ships as soon as possible!

Yin Chao naturally agreed, but there was another reason why he came to see Liu Bei - he was unwilling to be the commander of Huailing County anymore, and planned to go home to help his father build a ship!

Liu Bei knows this person's ability to be an official, and Huailing County has been under his governance in the past few years, and it can be said that he has not closed his door at night. Liu Bei was reluctant to leave such a capable official, so he naturally kept him, but Yin Chao was so hard-hearted that he didn't want to be an official anymore! Helpless, he had to allow it!

Tian Fan was also puzzled, and asked Yin Chao in private, Yin Chao's somewhat round face showed a smile, as if he had some nostalgia, and said with some expectation: "I want to go home and build a ship, and when I build a big ship, I can go to sea to travel in the future!" I heard my uncle say that the world in the sea is very big, and he said that to the east of Yangzhou, there is a huge island called Yizhou, where there are my pre-Qin immigrants, and I also want to see it! ”

Tian Fan was choked suddenly, he coughed a few times, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?" Uncle Zhu has been to sea? ”

Yin Chao looked at the excited Tian Fan puzzled, nodded and said, "Hmm! Uncle is a weirdo, hehe, he can't be idle! He said that he had gone to sea many times on a building boat, to Yizhou, to Zhuya in Jiaozhou! Later, when the storm happened, the building ship broke down, and he was also frightened, and since then, he has never been out to sea again! ”

At this time, Tian Fan's feeling was two words - shock! Zhuya is the name of Hainan Island in the Han Dynasty, and Yizhou is the name of Taiwan! Unexpectedly, among the people he knew, there was a navigator! No, if you have a chance, you must let Zhu Zhen pour out everything in his heart! So excited! What if there are sea vessels? If there are no charts, isn't everything in vain? Zhu Zhen has been to sea many times, and it is still the sea south of the Yangtze River, which is a living sea map of China's southern coast! The value of this person is great! …,

Putting away his thoughts, Tian Fan patted Yin Chao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I have no objection to you going to build a ship, but you must learn shipbuilding technology well!" The manufacture of sea ships in Xuzhou has not been smooth, I want to suggest that the lord set up a shipbuilding department, responsible for dealing with the two workshops of naval shipbuilding and naval shipbuilding, and when you learn the skills, the position of the shipbuilding department will be handed over to you! ”

Yin Chao smiled and said, "Since you trust me so much, brother, I will definitely work hard!" ”

Two days later, the army of tens of thousands of people, escorting nearly 40,000 prisoners, captured 12,000 war horses, and countless heavy grains, returned to Xiapi in triumph!

The people of Xiapi have long been boiling! Big win, big win! This is the first real victory since Liu Bei took over Xuzhou! In the long run, since the people of Xuzhou have had such a big victory? During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, at most the Yellow Turban Army was beaten away, Lao Cao attacked Xuzhou twice, and Xuzhou was defeated so much that it was a tragic word! At this time, Liu Bei won such a big victory, how could everyone not be excited?

Chen Qun and other courtiers who stayed behind, including Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other former Lu Bu's subordinates who received the news and rushed back from Xiao Pei, went out of the city ten miles to greet them!

Chen Qun and the others saw Liu Bei and others coming from afar, and everyone saluted Liu Bei and said loudly: "Congratulations to the lord on returning with a great victory!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly helped him up and said, "Long Wen is polite!" ”

After that, he looked around at the remaining subordinates and said loudly: "You guys are very polite! Hurry up, please! ”

Holding Chen Qun, he looked around at everyone: "If you don't have you to deal with political affairs, how can I fight outside with peace of mind?" With that, he bowed deeply to everyone and said, "Preparation, thank you!" ”

Chen Qun and the others didn't dare to shout, Chen Qun said: "Lord, don't be like this, this is my duty!" ”

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, said a few words to each of the courtiers, and then came to the newly surrendered Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, and Gao Shun, and the four of them hurriedly saluted and shouted, "See the lord!" ”

Liu Bei helped them up and said happily: "Everyone, please get up!" I heard Boguang say that Wenyuan and Zhengqing are good generals in the world, Gongtai is a talented military advisor, and General Hao Meng is also a rare brave general! Hehe, it's a great blessing for you to come to help me! Thank you a lot! ”

A few people hurriedly humbled a few words! Seeing Liu Bei's attitude, their minds naturally settled down!

Liu Bei said a few more words to them, and after some encouragement, he took Chen Qun's hand and said, "Hehe, Changwen, how about entering the city with me?" ”

Chen Qun only felt refreshed! Liu Bei, there is no meaning to look down on these people left behind, how can this not make everyone happy? He replied with a flushed face: "Lord, hehe, it's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

The two rode slowly in front, and Liu Bei kept learning about the events of this time with Chen Qun and others, talking and laughing, and they were very happy. Tian Fan and the others slowly followed behind.

Tian Fan saw Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong, and Hao Meng silently following behind, deliberately slowing down the horse's speed, side by side with the four people, the five people laughed, and slowly followed behind everyone. After a while, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei also joined in, which naturally became more lively!

Xuzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, celebration banquet. The banquet began for a while, and everyone was talking noisily, acquaintances and good relations got together to discuss the details of the battle.

Liu Bei saw this lively scene, and his heart was happy! At this moment, there are three more generals Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, three fierce generals Hao Meng, Cao Xing, and Cheng Lian, as well as Chen Gong, a top strategist!

He smiled and said, "Okay, let's be quiet!" ”

When everyone heard this, they slowly stopped the noise and turned their heads to look at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei stood up, picked up his wine glass, walked between the crowd, and said, "Today, I, Liu Bei, am happy!" I, Liu Bei, have lived for such an age, and I have never been so happy! So, I'm going to toast! ”…,

Everyone looked at Liu Bei quietly and listened to his words.

"I salute everyone here for the first glass of wine, thank you for working with me to achieve great things!"

Liu Bei's eyes were red, and he said emotionally: "I miss me Liu Bei, I have had the ambition to serve the country since I was a child, but unfortunately, I have no way to serve the country!" Later, the world was in turmoil, and I had the ambition to serve the country, but there was no piece of soil! ”

He looked at Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Tian Fan and others, and continued: "It's Tao Envoy Jun, who recommends me as Xuzhou Mu!" It was Yuanlong, Boguang, Zizhong and others who assisted me in stabilizing Xuzhou......"

He looked at Liu Ye and the others, and continued: "It was Changwen, Zijing, Ziyang, Ziyu and others who assisted me that made Xuzhou survive in the cracks and become stronger and stronger!" ”

With a smile, he continued again: "Also, Yide, Xuangao, Shuzhi and others will guard the gateway of Xuzhou for me, and they will fight for me in all directions, so that there is a stable Xuzhou now!" ”

He pointed a full circle with his right hand, and everyone glanced at it, and then continued: "The scene in Xuzhou at this time is all your credit!" Therefore, this first cup of wine, I salute you, and I respect Yunchang, Zhongtai, Xianhe, Shuzhi, Xuangao and others who can't come because they stayed in the important place! Come on, let's do it! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all embarrassed! More than a year ago, who could have imagined that Xuzhou would have such a weather? Everyone in the hall raised their wine glasses and shouted together: "Thank you, lord! After speaking, he drank this glass of wine with Liu Bei.

Tian Fan has to say that Liu Bei is indeed very good at buying people's hearts! Looking at the meaning of his words, it is clear that there is one sentence - you are very important to me! Although the words are very simple, they give everyone under them a very strong sense of belonging! After listening to such heart-warming words, how could everyone not feel comfortable and have the heart to die for Liu Bei?

Liu Bei raised the second glass of wine and said, "This second cup of wine, I respect Xian, Gongtai, Wenyuan, Zhengqing, and the rest of the generals!" First, I would like to thank you for working with me to achieve great things, and secondly, I would like to thank you for quelling Xiaopei's mutiny and ensuring that I will not lose my next door! Several people hurriedly stood up and drank this cup with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei picked up the third glass of wine and said, "The third cup, I will worship the first alone!" ”

He took the cup and came to Lu Bu, who had already stood up!

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu and said emotionally: "Fengxian, your title and official position are above me, but you are willing to recognize me as the lord, I am ashamed in my heart, I salute you!" ”
