Jizhou, Qingzhou, homeopathic southward to Xuzhou, then through Yuzhou into Yanzhou, and finally through Sizhou back to Chang'an.

Liu Xuan's original plan was just to take Diao Chan to see the sea, but it was temporarily adjusted to an inspection of his existing territory.

Even if he had inspected Yongzhou a few years ago, the only places that he had not inspected at the moment were Bingzhou and Liangzhou -- the situation in these two places was not stable, and Liu Xuan dared to go, but the ministers of the DPRK and China did not agree.

In addition, Youzhou did not go to inspect because Youzhou has not been completely returned to the imperial court, although Yuan Shao was destroyed because of the First World War, but not all of its remaining forces are willing to submit to the imperial court so easily, among them, there are some guys who can't see the situation clearly and want to bargain with the imperial court - they don't think they can fight against the imperial court, but they just think that they can make the imperial court uncomfortable for a while, and the remote location, maybe the imperial court will allow them to be a small soil emperor in their respective spheres of influence.

It's a pity that they took a peek at Cao Cao!

For these guys, Cao Cao didn't even need to ask Liu Xuan, and directly killed these guys, including 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry - these people really colluded with the alien races in the north, and Cao Cao had no burden to kill these guys.

The news came back to the imperial court, and the ministers of the court and the central government also affirmed what Cao Cao had done, and only a few people thought that Cao Cao had been leading the troops for a long time, and it would be difficult to check and balance if there were different intentions, and now there was no major war in Hebei, so it was better to call Cao Cao back directly.

This suggestion was finally sent to Liu Xuan - at that time, it was already the second year, that is, in the early summer of the eighth year of Jian'an, Liu Xuan was in Xuzhou, and after receiving the news, he directly tore the recital to pieces, and then crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside.

The meaning of the Son of Heaven's attitude is already very clear, so no one in the court said anything anymore, and Cao Cao took the initiative to report after getting the news, saying that the war in Hebei had ended, and he was about to return to Beijing and hand over the post of governor at the same time!

After Liu Xuan heard the news, he just smiled and didn't make an evaluation, this drama of mutual trust between monarchs and ministers made a lot of good talk in the market.

Except for this incident, there was no major event for almost a whole year, Qingzhou and Xuzhou had already picked a natural harbor, and when Liu Xuan arrived in Xuzhou, Yu Ban also brought the sailors out of a rudiment.

The selection of soldiers are all the children of those fishermen, these people are quite water-savvy, and they also have some superficial understanding of some habits of the sea, and when Liu Xuan's water battle generals arrive, and then build some suitable warships, these soldiers can be pulled on the boats for further training.

And even if Yu Ban is allowed to take it with him for the time being, these soldiers have also shown the appearance of elite soldiers, and they are already qualified soldiers.

The difference is that I still don't know much about water warfare!

There is no way to do this, Yu Ban traveled to study in the Quartet in his early years, and he did increase a lot of experience and knowledge, but he really didn't go to the south, plus the water war has its particularity, if it is not for many years of contact, it is difficult to be proficient even if he knows a little, so it is already the limit that Yu Ban can do this.

"Wen Ze doesn't have to blame himself, that's enough!"

Yu Ban didn't seem very happy when he heard the praise of the Son of Heaven, because he noticed his shortcomings!

More importantly, he has seen a shortcoming in the forbidden army of the imperial court, and if he can grasp it, then his future will be brighter.

This path is to specialize in water warfare!

Although the imperial army has been reorganized for less than ten years, the momentum of development does not seem to be very fierce, and the generals seem to be so many people, but after approaching the contact, Yu Ban knows that it is difficult to get ahead in the imperial forbidden army with his own ability. ..., it is estimated that it is difficult to become the most respected general even if you work hard, maybe it is a way to become a deputy general of a general or focus on some specific work in non-wartime, but it is certainly not as good as a general who can lead the army to fight in a war in terms of status and prestige.

In addition to this path, it is to immediately study water warfare and become the most relied upon commander of water warfare in the imperial army!

In the past, Yu Ban did not study water warfare, in addition to being born in the north and being more familiar with land warfare, it was also related to the idea of valuing land in the land of the Han Dynasty - in this era, it is estimated that no one has any concept of sea power, and it is normal for Yu Ban to do this. In comparison, Liu Xuan is an outlier.

However, as the general of the imperial army, plus the first general who was appointed and had direct contact with the formation of the naval army, Yu Ban naturally had access to things about the sea.

Especially before coming to Xuzhou, Liu Xuan and Cao Cao were as satisfied with Yu Ban's curiosity as much as possible in this regard, and told him everything they knew and Yu Ban could understand, so that Yu Ban understood that the navy would be a very important arm of the imperial court, especially when he learned that there was such a vast water surface in this world, Yu Ban gradually changed the idea in his heart that 'water warfare is just a small fight, and it can only be majestic in some specific places. ’

When I arrived in Xuzhou, I looked at the sea that I couldn't see the edge, and learned from the fishermen that they couldn't see the other side of the sea when they drove a boat to the sea, and suddenly an idea popped up in my heart:

"If you can command the Han naval army, gallop on the vast sea, and expand the territory for the Han Dynasty, then you can also become a generation of famous generals!"

When Liu Xuan personally took the queen (Liu Xuan directly asked Cai Yan to take Zhen Mi to Xuzhou after arriving in Qingzhou, and he waited for the arrival of the two daughters in Xuzhou) and the two concubines came to personally observe the situation of the navy, Yu Ban finally made up his mind: to be a commander of the navy.

But to do that, there's an awkward question!

Who do you learn from?

There is almost no doubt that the good generals of the navy are in Jiangdong, Liu Xuan tried his best to recall several generals who were originally Jiangdong and sent people to investigate, and finally got the news that these people were already under Sun Ce's command - this is not unusual, Sun Ce was extremely powerful when he raised his army, and his younger brother Sun Quan also made a recruitment hall, plus the Sun family is quite famous today, and there are really many defectors.

In addition, the hometowns of those generals who are good at water warfare are basically in the vicinity, and it is normal to defect to Sun Ce nearby, even if they are a few northern generals, they have moved to Jiangdong early to avoid trouble. At the same time, these generals who moved ...... In Jiangdong, he was also in charge of land warfare, and it was useless to find these people.

This led to the fact that the naval plan had been in place for a long time, but until now, Yu Ban was still staring at it, and there was nothing to be done at all.

But Liu Xuan is not afraid of being in a hurry, anyway, the technology is constantly changing, and in a few years, the current mode of water warfare will not make any sense to the imperial court, it really can't work, Liu Xuan will cultivate a batch by himself.

Anyway, after researching those battleships by themselves, the generals of this era also had to explore and adapt from scratch.

After taking a look at Yu Ban, he found that Yu Ban actually looked like he had a lot of courage, and took the initiative to ask himself: "Your Majesty, the last general wants to learn naval warfare!"

Liu Xuan was stunned, he didn't understand what kind of trouble Yu Ban was making, but he understood Yu Ban's thoughts as soon as he turned his head.

Without him, he just wants to get ahead.

There are too many generals in the land war, and there are too many excellent talents, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are two insurmountable mountains, and no matter how hard Yu Ban works, it is impossible to surpass these two.

It's a water war, and the court is still blank in this regard, but Yu Ban can see it clearly.

"This is not bad!", from Liu Xuan's point of view, this choice is not bad, Yu Ban definitely has enough qualifications in this regard, plus Yu Ban himself is not the kind of general who is brave and brave, and it is more reliable to train as a commander of the naval army than Zhang Fei.

"Wen Ze wants to learn, naturally there is nothing to do!"

What Liu Xuan is thinking about now is how to cultivate, but the naval battle is ...... Everything is nonsense without a ship, so first of all, we must solve the problem of the ship!

And the ship ...... At this time, Liu Xuan can't look down on the wooden-hulled boat, and the power problem of the metal ship has not been solved!

"Looks like we're going to have to get those technologies and stuff out as soon as possible!"

This is the only thing that Liu Xuan is sure of after taking a big turn.

However, in order to make those things, first of all, the infrastructure must be newly improved, and the current environment of Chang'an is obviously not suitable.

After returning to the palace, Liu Xuan was thinking about whether to move the capital again, or to rebuild Chang'an?

Seeing him frowning and thinking, Cai Yan and the other women would not come up to disturb, so Huang Yueying, the girl, didn't care about it, and as soon as she came in, she patted the table and asked, "Yo, why are you in a daze?"

Raising his head and looking at Huang Yueying, whose face was smoked, Liu Xuan was stunned for a while before reacting: "How did you get this?"

"Go and take a turn in the refining division you made, there are a lot of fun things!" Now that she has known each other for a long time, Huang Yueying has determined that as long as she does not show her malice towards Liu Xuan, then she doesn't need to worry too much about speaking, so she is becoming more and more casual.

wiped his forehead with his hand, and as a result, his face became more and more flowery.

took a towel and handed it to Huang Yueying: "Wipe it well, it's all a cat!"

Huang Yueying realized that her face was dirty, and she looked at the mirror for a while, and then said, "Ah!", and then said, "It's good to look like this." ”

“......”

After wiping her face clean, Huang Yueying came over again: "What were you thinking just now?"

"I'm thinking about whether to rebuild Chang'an or simply move the capital to Luoyang!"

"What's the difference and significance of this?" Huang Yueying didn't understand why she was struggling with this?

Liu Xuan thought for a while and said some of his thoughts: "Move the capital, then it is to move back to Luoyang, because the palace in Luoyang was burned to a scorched earth by the fire, then it needs to be rebuilt, and I can arrange it according to some of my ideas." ”

When Huang Yueying heard this, she immediately took a picture of the case in front of her: "Of course, this is the relocation of the capital! What is there to hesitate?"

"Oh?"

"If you have a new house to live in, who wants to live in the old one?" Huang Yueying looked at Liu Xuan with an idiot look: "Moreover, don't you think it's awkward to sit on your knees all day? If you build a new palace, you have to remember to build more chairs and sofas or something." ”

Liu Xuan was stunned, and finally nodded very approvingly: "Great goodness!"

P.S: After moving the capital again, the world will change dramatically...... Do you want to build some zodiac palace to surround the imperial city?
