Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

The process of subduing Gan Ning in Nanyang County was very smooth, so smooth that Gan Ning knew he was defeated after only two charges from the Xianzhen Camp.

Although Gan Ning suffered a crushing defeat, the fighting power he displayed still impressed Liu Yu.

The long sword in his hand danced like a butterfly flying through flowers, dazzling the eyes.

The power displayed by this sword technique is really hard for ordinary people to get close to.

In addition to the long sword, he also carried two short spears on his back. Although he did not display them today, it was obvious that his attainments in these weapons were not low.

After returning to the mansion, Liu Yu ordered a banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Yu said slowly: "Xingba, I will report to His Majesty that you will be appointed as the General of the Battle of the Shock Waves. You can train the navy in Jiujiang County. I will give you three years. Are you sure you can train a strong navy?"

"My lord, as long as there is enough money and food, why would it take three years? But forgive me for being blunt, there is no water system in Jiujiang County that is suitable for training naval forces.

If you want to train your navy, the best place is the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is wide, deep, and windy, making it a great place to train your navy."

Liu Yu naturally understood this principle, but the Yangtze River was in Yangzhou, which was in the hands of Sun Ce. It was impossible for him to go to war with Sun Ce at this moment just for the sake of training troops.

But if we train troops in a pool of stagnant water, it is obvious that the soldiers' combat effectiveness cannot be fully guaranteed.

In history, when Cao Cao conquered the south to Jiangdong, he also artificially dug the Xuanwu Pool in Yecheng and trained his navy in it.

The training lasted for quite a while, but the results were minimal, so much so that many soldiers later experienced seasickness and vomiting when they arrived in Jiangdong due to high winds and rough waves and the shaking of the boat.

In order to overcome this situation, Cao Cao had no choice but to connect the boats with iron chains, and finally a fire was set at Chibi, and all the boats were burned to ashes.

The predecessors are a lesson for the future, and Liu Yu dare not forget the lessons of history.

"Xingba, if we train troops at sea, can we develop a real navy?"

"My lord, the sea is windy and rough. If we can open up a place to train our navy, it would be perfect."

Hearing this, Liu Yu felt relieved, even though the territories he occupied were all inland and not near the sea.

But Xuzhou has it. As long as we take Xuzhou in the next step, with Xuzhou's coastline stretching for thousands of miles, we will have no worries about not finding a place suitable for training the navy.

"Xingba, follow me to Xuzhou. Within three months, there will be a port for you to train your troops."

When Liu Yu led his men to attack Xuzhou, Guo Jia had already led his troops to the city of Xia Pi.

The situation in Xuzhou was just as Guo Jia had predicted.

The wars during this period almost turned Xuzhou into a ruin, and countless people left their homes and villages.

Such a tragic situation also meant that Lu Bu's plan to recruit soldiers was not optimistic. He gathered a total of more than 10,000 people.

If these more than 10,000 people were dispersed to resist, they would be unable to withstand Liu Yu's attack.

He could only concentrate all his soldiers in Xia Pi City.

When Zang Ba heard that an army of 50,000 had captured Pi, he personally led 10,000 men to support them.

At this time, there were nearly 30,000 troops in Xia Pi City, with sufficient stored food and grass. Xia Pi City was high and the trenches were deep. Lu Bu believed that with the help of this city, he would be able to defend Xia Pi City and Xuzhou.

Zang Ba's arrival also gave Lu Bu confidence. During this period of time, whenever someone attacked the city, Lu Bu would lead the charge.

In the face of Lu Bu's absolute strength, the soldiers retreated one after another. It was not until thousands of arrows were fired that Lu Bu stopped.

Seeing how brave Lu Bu was, Gan Ning was eager to give it a try.

"My lord, I have long wanted to meet Lu Bu. Next time we charge into battle, let him lead the troops. I will definitely be able to cut off Lu Bu's head and present it to you, my lord."

Xu Chu turned around, looked at Gan Ning for a few seconds, and a hint of sneer appeared on his face.

With your small body, can you defeat Lu Bu?

The sun has just risen and some people are already talking nonsense.

There was a hint of approval on Ma Chao's face. Gan Ning's mood at this moment was similar to that when he first met Lu Bu. However, the fact proved that the more arrogant he was at that time, the faster he would be slapped in the face.

"Xingba may be brave, but Lu Bu is number one in the world after all. We must not act out of loyalty."

Gan Ning wanted to confront Lu Bu head-on, but Liu Yu clearly expressed his opposition.

In this era, no one can match Lu Bu.

Xu Chu is not good enough, Ma Chao is not good enough, and Gan Ning naturally is not good enough either.

Since none of them worked, there was no need to take the risk. If Gan Ning failed and was killed by Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji, his plan to build a navy would be ruined.

As a general who was a basket maker said in later generations, I will not do a business that loses money.

If you fight against Lu Bu, not only will you lose money, but you may also end up with nothing.

In the following period of time, both sides of the siege behaved in a very strange way.

Liu Yu did not order another attack, but chose to simply besiege the city, while Lu Bu in the city frequently went out to attack.

Although he failed to break through the camp set up by Liu Yu, Lu Bu's morale was greatly boosted.

For a time, Lu Bu's reputation was at its peak in Xia Pi City.

Countless praises reached Lu Bu's ears, and he felt a little elated.

"Marquis Wen is unrivaled in the world, his reputation is well-deserved. Even if I didn't lead the troops to Xia Pi, as long as Marquis Wen is here, this city will be safe."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Lu Bu heard Zang Ba's praise and waved his hand and said, "General Zang, Emperor Liu is extremely treacherous. If you hadn't sent troops to help, it wouldn't have been so smooth."

Sun Qian sat next to Zang Ba. He seemed to be drinking, but his mind was already full of thoughts.

When Xuzhou Xia Pi City was breached by Lu Bu that day, he followed Uncle Liu's instructions and came to Zang Ba as soon as possible.

Uncle Liu’s meaning was very clear, he wanted Zang Ba to submit to Lu Bu and resist Cao Cao’s attack.

In the eyes of Emperor Liu, Cao Cao was always more terrifying than Lu Bu.

Once Xuzhou falls into Cao Cao's hands, the difficulty of retaking it will increase greatly.

Zhao Yun's intimidation and Zang Ba's resistance made Cao Cao exhausted.

Cao Cao's plan to attack Xuzhou also came to a stalemate.

The fall of Jiujiang meant that Emperor Liu's plan to attack Xuzhou would begin immediately.

When the 50,000-strong army attacked Xuzhou, Sun Qian and Zang Ba came to Xia Pi City.

During this period of time, Sun Qian witnessed Lu Bu's strength and also understood what Uncle Liu had told him that day.

Lu Bu is too brave, so he can only be defeated by wits, not by force.

After continuous preparations in the early stages, Lu Bu's arrogance reached its peak.

It was this point that made Sun Qian see the opportunity.

He raised his head and glanced at Chen Deng, only to see that his eyes were firm and there was no sign of retreat in them. He knew that whether he could capture Lu Bu depended on today.
