On that day, the atmosphere at the banquet was very warm.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Zhong told Liu Jue that Wang Cang had been disposed of by him.

Hearing these two words of Wang Cang, Liu Jue remembered the short guy, and learned that it was Liu Biao's order, and it was estimated that this guy said something like surrender again.

Liu Jue doesn't care about this, Wang Cang will die if he dies, and he is a useless guy anyway.

Next, Liu Jue's center was on Jiangxia's affairs.

In the past few months, Jiang Xia and Chaisang have not had any war, but Huang Zhong has not slackened and has been training his soldiers.

Now Jiangxia has 45,000 troops.

Among them, 10,000 are the elites rewarded by the system, 10,000 are the pawns who defeated Cao Ren, and 10,000 are brought by Liu Jue when he came to Jiangxia.

The rest is Huang Zu's original old department, and some of the soldiers obtained by defeating Zhou Yu at the beginning.

Liu Jue thought about it for a while, now that his foot soldiers are already very strong, the most important thing is to train the water army as soon as possible.

The navy army was not only here to deal with Cao Cao, but also to be able to deal with Jiangdong Sun Quan.

So Liu Jue began a series of personnel transfers.

First of all, it was to transfer Gan Ning to Xiakou and train Jiangxia's 15,000 sailors.

At the same time, Wei Yan was transferred to Chaisanglai to help Huang Zhong train his soldiers and guard against Jiangdong at any time.

Wuchang only left 5,000 soldiers, still under the command of Su Fei, after all, with Chaisang as a barrier, Wuchang will not be in any danger.

Xiling's troops were increased to 10,000, and Huo Jun was also transferred over.

Now that Liu Jue has just broken through Cao's army and captured Cao Ren and Cao Hong, Jiangxia borders Cao Cao's territory, and Cao Cao must be guarded against.

Although next year, Cao Cao will clean up the Yuan brothers and Wu Huan, this battle not only lasted until November, but also caused Guo Jia to die of illness due to water and soil.

But Liu Jue can't be taken lightly.

As for Sun Quan, when he pacifies Shanyue and recuperates for a while, it is estimated that he will come to recapture Chaisang.

However, it is estimated that it will take a few months, and Liu Jue has time to prepare.

So for the next period of time, Liu Jue will live in Xiling, the governing office.

The manufacture of iron knives and thunderbolts also had to be relocated to the interior of Jiangxia, after all, Chaisang's role was a military fortress, and it was still a little inappropriate to put it here.

Liu Jue thought about it and decided to move to Xiakou, the first is very close to Xiling, and the second is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Even if Cao Cao goes south in the future and Jiangbei is unfortunately lost, these two killing weapons will not fall into Cao Cao's hands.

The order was issued, but the transfer had to come step by step.

Chaisang leans on Poyang Lake, and now the southern half of this big lake has been controlled by Liu Jue.

Poyang Lake is the place where Jiangdong trains the navy, and there are several shipyards by the lake.

At this time, Liu Jue, under the escort of Wei Yan, had already arrived at a shipyard by the lake.

There are more than 100 skilled craftsmen, and more than 500 deputies and apprentices of all kinds.

In the vicinity of the shipyard, of course, there are soldiers to guard, and on Poyang Lake, there will also be sailors patrolling every day.

The official who supervised the shipbuilding was named Wu Yuan, Jue was transferred from Xiakou, and when he saw Liu Jue's team coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Xiaguan Wu Yuan, meet the major general. Wu Yuan bowed deeply to Liu Jue.

"No need to be polite. Liu Jue turned over and dismounted and gently helped Wu Yuan up.

Under the leadership of Wu Yuan, Liu Jue took Wei Yan and his personal guards into this water village.

There is a thatched hut built in the water village, which is used for craftsmen and boatmen to live, and the dock is also quite busy, and many warships are repairing on the dock.

When those craftsmen and shipwrights saw Liu Jue, although they didn't know him, they saw that he was dressed noblely, accompanied by Wu Yuan, and also brought guards, they all knew that this must be a dignitary, and hurriedly showed a look of awe.

Coming to Wu Yuan's office, not long after Liu Jue sat down, Wu Yuan came with five experienced craftsmen.

These men were all about forty years old, dark-skinned, powerful, and their hands were covered with thick calluses.

Wu Yuan immediately introduced: "This is the third son of Lord Zhou Mu, Jiangxia Taishou Lord Liu. "

"I've seen Taishou-sama. After hearing Wu Yuan's introduction, the five craftsmen were taken aback and hurriedly bowed to Liu Jue.

Liu Jue stepped forward, put his arm on the shoulders of one of the craftsmen, helped him up, and said, "You don't have to be polite, let's get up quickly." "

As he spoke, Liu Jue helped the other four people up, which flattered these craftsmen.

As the old saying goes: If you can't punish a doctor, you can't give a courtesy to the common people.

Because the class is there, no matter how downtrodden the nobles are, their status is higher than that of the commoners, and this concept will take hundreds of years to be broken.

Liu Jue's simple action made the hearts of these five craftsmen set off a monstrous wave, and for the first time, they felt that they were so valued.

Wu Yuan next to him looked at it, thinking that Corporal Lixian, the young general, was just that, and he was so polite to these craftsmen, and he really had the legacy of the sages.

Liu Jue looked at the five craftsmen and said, "You are all the most skilled boatmen here, and I invite you here today to ask you to build me a kind of boat." "

Zhang Sheng on the side immediately took out the drawings, and then spread them out on the table, and the five craftsmen immediately looked over.

"This ...... What kind of ship is this?"

"It's weird how there are wheels on both sides!"

"It's the first time I've seen it. "

When the craftsmen saw the ships on the drawings, their eyes couldn't help but widen, and their mouths began to talk non-stop.

Wu Yuan also stretched out his head to take a look, and saw that a big ship was drawn on the drawing, with two wheels on the left and right, just like a carriage on land.

"It's a strange ship. Wu Yuan was also amazed.

Liu Jue coughed lightly and said: "This kind of ship is called a steamer, or it can be called a car boat, which uses wheels instead of oars to push the ship forward. "

One of the craftsmen said: "The wheel is like a waterwheel on dry land, and when the wheel moves the river, the boat can move forward." "

Liu Jue nodded and said: "That's right, the detailed drawings are here, I hope you can study it well and build this ship as soon as possible." "

"Whew!" the five craftsmen hurriedly responded, and their eyes immediately fell on the drawing.

The five of them were all decades of veteran shipwrights, and they were very experienced, and just by looking at the appearance, they knew how the ship was going to move, and they couldn't help but be amazed by this wonderful idea.

Liu Jue turned to Wu Yuan and said, "I will hand over the drawings to you for safekeeping, if they are lost, I will definitely take you for the crime." "

Wu Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the young general, the lower officials will take good care of it, and even put it by his side when he sleeps, and there will be no mistakes." "

Liu Jue smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry too much, as long as this car and ship are built, I will reward you well." "

"Thank you, Major General. Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Jue said to Wei Yan again: "Wen Chang, you have to supervise the shipbuilding affairs a lot, and at the same time guard against the spies from Jiangdong, this ship is a sharp weapon for us to gallop the rivers and lakes." "

Wei Yan heard Liu Jue say so solemnly, and immediately said: "The young general doesn't need to worry, Wei Yan will definitely supervise this matter carefully." "

Liu Jue said with a smile: "Wen Chang, I am most relieved that you are doing things." "

When Wei Yan heard this, a surge of blood suddenly surged in his heart, and he felt like a soldier was dying for his confidant. _
